Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular relates to a tertiary amine oxidized zwitterionic lipid, lipid nanoparticles and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Lipid nanodelivery systems are an important platform in the field of modern drug delivery, and their successful application in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines demonstrates their enormous clinical potential. Traditional liposomal drugs, such as Doxil (doxorubicin liposome) and Onivyde (irinotecan liposome), have been widely used in the treatment of diseases such as cancer. These formulations, by encapsulating the drug, can improve its pharmacokinetic behavior to some extent, reducing early leakage and promoting rapid clearance.

[0003] However, traditional liposomes composed of conventional phospholipids still have significant limitations. Studies have shown that they have low accumulation efficiency in target tissues and poor penetration into tumor tissues, resulting in limited therapeutic effects (Zhou et al., Biomaterials, 2020, 240, 119902). The root cause is that traditional liposomes are prone to non-specific protein adsorption on their surface, leading to rapid recognition and clearance by the immune system, making efficient delivery difficult.

[0004] To overcome these challenges, the design of novel lipid materials has become a research focus. In recent years, materials modified with tertiary amine oxidation groups have shown unique advantages. Studies have shown that these materials can form a strong hydration layer, effectively resisting non-specific protein adsorption and endowing nanocarriers with long-term cycling capabilities (Chen et al., Nature Biomedical Engineering, 2021, 5, 1019). More importantly, the tertiary amine oxidation structure has a high affinity for cell membrane phospholipids, which can not only promote the efficient internalization of the carrier by cells, but also target the Golgi apparatus, actively triggering transcellular transport pathways, thereby significantly enhancing tissue penetration and deep tumor accumulation.

[0005] However, these existing nanodelivery systems carrying tertiary amine oxidation groups (where the nitrogen atom connects two short saturated fatty chains or is in a heterocyclic ring) still do not perform ideally in terms of tumor-specific selection, tending to accumulate in major organs such as the liver, spleen, and intestines, which does not show a significant advantage compared to traditional liposomes. Therefore, developing a tumor-highly selective nanodelivery system based on novel tertiary amine oxidation group-functionalized lipids has important clinical translational value for improving the delivery efficiency, bioavailability, and efficacy of the contents. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Addressing the problem that existing nanodelivery systems carrying tertiary amine oxidation groups tend to aggregate in major organs such as the liver, spleen, and intestines, this invention provides a novel tertiary amine oxidation zwitterionic lipid, lipid nanodelivery particles, and their applications.

[0043] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] In this invention, unless otherwise specified, all raw materials and equipment used are commercially available or commonly used in the field. The methods described in the following embodiments are conventional methods in the field, unless otherwise specified.

[0045] Example 1 Synthesis of zwitterionic lipids with tertiary amine oxidation (taking TAO as an example).

[0046] In this embodiment, the TAO synthesis path is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps are as follows: N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) (14.41 g, 88.86 mmol), N-methyldiethanolamine (1.7 mL, 14.81 mmol), triethylamine (12.5 mL, 89.93 mmol), and 190 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) were added sequentially to a reaction flask, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The product 1 was obtained by washing several times with dilute hydrochloric acid and saturated brine, and then drying. Add 5.22 g (19.52 mmol) of oleylamine to a 30 mL flask containing product 1 (2 g, 6.51 mmol) of anhydrous THF. React the product in a water bath at 30 °C for 48 hours under light-protected conditions with stirring. After the reaction is complete, purify the product by column chromatography (MeOH:DCM = 1:15) to obtain product 2. Weigh 400 mg of product 2, dissolve it in 2.5 mL of anhydrous ethanol, add 5 mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide solution (H2O2), react at room temperature for 6 hours, and freeze dry to obtain the final product, namely TAO.

[0047] Example 2 Preparation of nanoparticles (taking inorganic cerium oxide nanoparticles as an example): The following ingredients were added in a mass ratio of 4:1:1:0.8: TAO (prepared in Example 1), phospholipid-polyethylene glycol 2000 (DSPE-PEG2000), cholesterol (Chol), and cerium oxide (CeO) 2-x A stock solution of 200 μg / mL (based on the concentration of TAO) was prepared by dispersing TAO in dichloromethane. 100 μL of the stock solution was then added to 1 mL of vigorously stirred ddH₂O and stirred for 30 min to obtain TAO-CeO₂. 2-x Nanoparticles.

[0048] In this embodiment, cerium oxide (CeO) is used. 2-x In CeO, x represents the proportion of oxygen atoms missing, typically ranging from 0 < x ≤ 0.5, reflecting the oxygen defect content. 2-x This indicates that Ce is in a +3 or +4 oxidation state. Ideal cerium oxide is stoichiometric CeO2, but under reducing atmospheres (such as H2, CO) or high-temperature conditions, some Ce... 4+ It will be reduced to Ce 3+ To maintain electroneutrality, oxygen vacancies are created in the crystal lattice, resulting in an oxygen content below 2, forming CeO. 2-x It is also commonly referred to as cerium oxide nanoparticles, and is described in patents such as CN113388874A.

[0049] This application provides a cerium oxide (CeO) 2-x The preparation method of ) (sol-gel method) is as follows: CeO with a particle size of 3 nanometers was synthesized via a non-hydrolyzed sol-gel reaction. 2-x Nanoparticles. In brief, 12 mmol oleylamine, 1 mmol cerium acetate, and 15 mL xylene were mixed in a 50 mL three-necked flask. The resulting solution was sonicated at room temperature for 30 min, followed by stirring for 2 h. The solution was then heated to 90 °C under vacuum at a heating rate of 2 °C / min. After stirring at 90 °C for 20 min, 1 mL of deionized water was rapidly added to the mixture, and the mixture was stirred vigorously. The solution gradually changed color from grayish-white to pale yellow via a sol-gel reaction. The reaction mixture was aged at 90 °C for 3 h and cooled to room temperature to obtain a clear yellow colloidal solution. The synthesized CeO₂ was precipitated by adding 100 mL of acetone. 2-x Nanoparticles. Collected CeO 2-x The nanoparticles were washed with ethanol and acetone by centrifugation (15,000 rpm, 20 minutes), vacuum dried, and then resuspended in dichloromethane for later use.

[0050] Of course, CeO in this application 2-x Nanoparticles are materials that can be prepared using existing technologies. Those skilled in the art may obtain them not only by the methods described above, but also by other methods or by purchasing them from other sources.

[0051] Example 3 TAO-CeO in Example 2 2-x Nanoparticle size distribution and surface potential analysis: TAO-CeO 2-x Nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in ultrapure water, and the TAO-CeO in the solution was analyzed using dynamic light scattering technology. 2-x The nanoparticles were subjected to particle size distribution analysis, and their surface Zeta potential in ultrapure water was measured. For example... Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the nanoparticles have a particle size of about 120 nm and a potential of about -4 mV.

[0052] Example 4 TAO-CeO in Example 2 2-x Dispersion and stability studies of nanoparticles: Prepare TAO-CeO at concentrations of 20–200 µg / mL respectively. 2-x The particle size distribution of nanoparticles in aqueous solutions and physiological saline solutions was monitored for three consecutive days at 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours using a nanoparticle size analyzer. Figure 4 , 5As shown, the particle size did not change significantly within 72 hours, and the PDI value remained stable at around 0.2, indicating that TAO-CeO 2-x Nanoparticles maintain good dispersibility in both deionized water and physiological saline, and are not prone to aggregation or precipitation.

[0053] Example 5 TAO-CeO in Example 2 2-x Cellular uptake of nanoparticles: Referring to the method for synthesizing tertiary amine oxidized zwitterionic lipids in Example 1, oleylamine was labeled with Cy5.5 (Sulfo-Cyanine5.5) to obtain TAO. cy5.5 .

[0054] Referring again to the nanoparticle preparation method in Example 2, TAO was replaced with TAO cy5.5 Obtain TAO cy5.5 -CeO 2-x Fluorescent nanoparticles.

[0055] TAO cy5.5 -CeO 2-x Fluorescent nanoparticles are used in cellular uptake experiments.

[0056] Hepa1-6 cells were divided into 3×10 5 Cells were evenly seeded at a density of 1 cell / well in 6-well cell culture plates and incubated in a cell culture incubator for 24 hours. When the cells had completely adhered and grown to a density of approximately 70%–80%, 50 μg / mL (cy5.5eq: 1 μg / mL) of TAO was added to each well. cy5.5 -CeO 2-x Nanoparticles were co-incubated for 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 10 h, and 12 h. Cells were then digested with trypsin and collected. The fluorescence intensity of nanoparticle uptake by cells at different time points was measured using flow cytometry. Figure 6 As shown, the fluorescence intensity of cell uptake reaches its maximum at 10 h, indicating that the nanoparticles have good cell internalization properties.

[0057] Example 6 TAO-CeO in Example 2 2-x Cell hemolysis experiment using nanoparticles.

[0058] A healthy C57BL / 6 black mouse was selected, and blood samples were obtained via ocular sampling. The blood-containing tubes were placed in a low-temperature centrifuge at 1000 rpm / min for 5 min at a constant temperature of 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the remaining blood cells were resuspended and washed with physiological saline until the supernatant was clear and colorless. The centrifuged red blood cells were diluted with physiological saline to prepare a 4% red blood cell suspension for later use. During the experiment, 500 μL of the 4% red blood cell physiological saline solution was mixed with 500 μL of deionized water as a positive control; mixed with 500 μL of physiological saline as a negative control; and mixed with 500 μL of TAO-CeO4 at different concentrations as a negative control. 2-x Nanoparticle solutions (20, 50, 100, and 200 μg / mL) were mixed to form experimental groups. All samples were incubated at 37°C for 12 hours, followed by centrifugation at 3000 rpm / min for 5 min using a low-temperature centrifuge. After centrifugation, 100 μL of the supernatant was transferred to a 96-well plate, and the absorbance of the supernatant at 541 nm was measured to assess the amount of hemoglobin released into the supernatant during hemolysis.

[0059] The formula for calculating the percentage of hemolysis is as follows: like Figure 7 As shown, no obvious hemolysis was observed after the nanoparticles of different concentrations were exposed to blood for 12 hours, proving that the material has good blood compatibility.

[0060] Example 7 TAO-CeO in Example 2 2-x Cytotoxicity of nanoparticles: Hepa1-6 cells were administered at a rate of 1×10⁻⁶. 4 The cells were seeded evenly into 96-well cell culture plates at a density of [number] cells / well and incubated for approximately 24 hours until the cell density reached 70-80%. Then, TAO-CeO3 was added to the plates at different concentrations (20 μg / mL, 50 μg / mL, 100 μg / mL, 200 μg / mL). 2-x Cells were cultured in DMEM complete medium containing nanoparticles for another 24 h, and cell viability was determined using the standard MTT assay. 100 μL of 10% MTT (MTT powder prepared as a 1.5 mg / mL stock solution in PBS) in DMEM complete medium was added to each well under light-protected conditions. The cells were incubated in a cell culture incubator under light-protected conditions for 4 h. The supernatant was discarded, and 100 μL of DMSO was added. The absorbance of each well was measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader, and the cell viability percentage was calculated. The formula for calculating the cell viability percentage is as follows: The results are as follows Figure 8 As shown, cells maintained nearly 100% viability across a wide range of nanoparticle concentrations, demonstrating the effectiveness of TAO-CeO. 2-x The nanoparticles themselves do not have the ability to kill cancer cells, which means that the nanoparticles have quite good cell safety.

[0061] Example 8 TAO-CeO in Example 2 2-x In vivo imaging of small animals using nanoparticles.

[0062] Referring to the method for synthesizing tertiary amine oxidized zwitterionic lipids in Example 1, oleylamine was labeled with Cy5.5 (Sulfo-Cyanine5.5) to obtain TAO. cy5.5 .

[0064] TAO cy5.5 -CeO 2-x Fluorescent nanoparticles are used for in vivo imaging of small animals.

[0065] A subcutaneous tumor model in mice was established using Hepa1-6 cells and 5-6 week old female C57BL / 6 mice. When the Hepa1-6 cell density reached 80%–90%, the cells were digested with trypsin, and the resulting cells were resuspended in PBS to form a single-cell suspension. 6 Hepa1-6 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into the right buttock of C57BL / 6 female black mice at a density of / mice.

[0066] The tumor volume can be maintained at 60 mm 3 The inoculation is considered successful if the tumor continues to grow without regressing. The inoculation is considered successful when the tumor reaches a size of 400 mm. 3 Tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into two groups of three mice each for subsequent in vivo imaging studies. The control group received a tail vein injection of 100 µL of PBS, while the experimental group received a tail vein injection of 100 µL of TAO. cy5.5 -CeO 2-xFluorescent nanoparticles (concentration of 20 μg / g in mice). Following injection, the fluorescence signal intensity in the tumor region was monitored and recorded using an in vivo imaging system at multiple time points: 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h, and 60 h. After 60 h of imaging, the mice were euthanized, and rapid dissection was performed to collect major organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, as well as tumor tissue. Fluorescence signals from each site were detected to comprehensively assess the distribution dynamics of the fluorescent nanoparticles in vivo and their enrichment in the tumor region. Figure 9 As shown, after 2 hours, the fluorescence signal at the tumor site was significantly enhanced compared to the PBS group, indicating that nanoparticles began to accumulate at the tumor site. The fluorescence signal peaked at 24 hours and remained relatively stable at the tumor site for approximately 60 hours. Figure 10 As shown, the fluorescence intensity of the tumor is much higher than that of other organs, indicating that the nanoparticles mainly aggregate within the tumor and have high tumor selectivity.
