Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating tumors. The composition, when formulated for intratumoral injection, exhibits excellent tumor inhibition and elimination effects, and can safely, rapidly, and effectively achieve anti-tumor efficacy against a variety of different tumors. This invention also relates to a method for preparing the composition and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Proliferative diseases pose a serious threat to modern society. The growth of tumors, due to their unique characteristics including uncontrolled cell proliferation, the ability to invade local and even distant tissues, lack of differentiation, lack of detectable symptoms, and lack of effective treatment and prevention, presents a severe challenge to modern medicine. More than 10 million people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer each year, and cancer / tumor causes 6 million deaths annually, accounting for 12% of all deaths worldwide.

[0003] Currently, commonly used anti-tumor methods in clinical practice include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Although these treatments have achieved certain clinical success, they suffer from problems such as poor selectivity, poor safety, significant toxic side effects (e.g., bone marrow suppression, cardiotoxicity, neurotoxicity), easy development of drug resistance, and high incidence of tumor recurrence. Furthermore, these treatments generally only achieve a certain degree of slowing or control of tumor growth, and cannot completely reverse tumor growth, let alone achieve complete elimination and radical cure of the tumor.

[0004] Ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, is an essential water-soluble vitamin and a powerful antioxidant. Its main known functions include: 1) Antioxidant: scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative damage; 2) Collagen synthesis: acting as a coenzyme for proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase, promoting collagen synthesis and wound healing; 3) Promoting iron absorption: reducing poorly absorbed ferric iron (Fe3+) to more easily absorbed ferrous iron (Fe2+); 4) Enhancing immune function: supporting the activity and function of white blood cells. Furthermore, a few studies have reported the use of ascorbic acid injections as adjuvant therapy for tumors. For example, Chinese patent CN111939153A mentions using ascorbic acid as a prodrug in the preparation of drugs for treating liver cancer, with administration methods including intravenous or intramuscular injection. However, this patent only involves early studies at the cellular level and has not verified the actual antitumor efficacy of ascorbic acid in animals or humans. Furthermore, based on the inventors' earlier research, ascorbic acid alone has limited efficacy in treating tumors, cannot fully reverse tumor growth or completely eliminate tumors, and has the drawback of easy tumor recurrence.

[0005] Therefore, developing novel anti-tumor drugs with safe and potent tumor-suppressing effects, especially those capable of reversing tumor growth and even achieving complete elimination and cure of tumors, is of great clinical significance and has an urgent market demand.

In a preferred embodiment, a suitable base addition salt is a sodium or potassium salt.

[0040] For a review of suitable salts, see “Handbook of Medicinal Salts: Properties, Selection and Use” by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, 2002). Methods for preparing pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds in the compositions of this invention are known to those skilled in the art.

[0041] As used herein, the term "solvent" refers to a substance formed by a combination, physical bonding, and / or solvation of the compounds of the present invention with solvent molecules, such as disolvents, monosolvents, or hemisolvents, wherein the ratio of solvent molecules to the compounds of the present invention is about 2:1, about 1:1, or about 1:2, respectively. This physical bonding involves, to varying degrees, ionization and covalent bonding (including hydrogen bonding). In some cases (e.g., when one or more solvent molecules are bound to the lattice of a crystalline solid), the solvate can be separated. Therefore, a solvate includes a solution phase and a separable solvate. The compounds of the present invention can be in a solvated form with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents (e.g., water, methanol, and ethanol), and the present invention is intended to include both solvated and unsolvated forms of the compounds.

[0042] One type of solvate is a hydrate. The term "hydrate" refers to a specific subset of solvates in which the solvent molecule is water. Solvates typically function as pharmacologically equivalents. The preparation of solvates is known in the art. Representative and non-limiting methods for preparing solvates involve dissolving the compound in a desired solvent (organic solvent, water, or a mixture thereof) at a temperature above 20°C to about 25°C, then cooling the solution at a rate sufficient to form crystals, and separating the crystals by known methods such as filtration. Analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy can be used to confirm the presence of the solvent in the solvate crystals.

[0043] In the context of this invention, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" means a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or medium that is administered with a therapeutically active ingredient and is suitable for exposure to human and / or other animal tissues within a reasonable medical judgment, without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, or other problems or complications corresponding to a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0044] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that can be used in the pharmaceutical compositions or cartridges of this invention include, but are not limited to, sterile liquids such as water and oils, including those derived from petroleum, animal, plant, or synthetic sources, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, etc. Water is an exemplary carrier when the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously. Physiological saline and aqueous solutions of glucose and glycerol can also be used as liquid carriers, particularly for injection. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, maltose, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glyceryl monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, skim milk powder, glycerol, propylene glycol, water, ethanol, etc. The pharmaceutical composition may also contain small amounts of stabilizers, protectants, isotonic agents, preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifiers, or pH buffers, as needed. Oral formulations may contain standard carriers such as pharmaceutical-grade mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, cellulose, magnesium carbonate, etc. Examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (1990).

[0045] As used in this invention, "cancer / tumor metastasis" refers to cancer or tumor that has spread (metastasized) from its original site to another area of ​​the body. Almost all cancers or tumors have the potential to metastasize. Whether metastasis occurs depends on a complex interplay of various tumor cellular factors, including cancer type, the degree of maturity (differentiation) of tumor cells, the location and age of the cancer, and other factors that are not yet fully understood. There are three pathways of metastasis: spread from the local tumor to surrounding tissues, reaching distant sites via the bloodstream, or reaching adjacent or distant lymph nodes via the lymphatic system. Each type of cancer can have a representative pathway of spread. Tumors are named according to their primary site (e.g., breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain is called metastatic breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain).

[0147] Active Examples Methods for constructing tumor animal models 1) Construction of human tumor xenotransplantation (PDX) model Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) models are tumor models established by directly inoculating fresh tumor tissue from clinical patients into immunodeficient mice and then preserving it through in vivo passage. This model preserves the tissue morphology, gene expression, heterogeneity, and drug sensitivity of the patient's tumor to the greatest extent possible, making it the gold standard in vivo model for personalized cancer treatment, screening of new anti-tumor drugs, development of biomarkers, and mechanistic studies.

[0148] The experimental animals were Nude mice, 5-6 weeks old, half male and half female (the sexes were fixed according to the cell line characteristics and could not be mixed), weighing 16-20g, and were purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. They were housed in the animal laboratory of Xi'an International Medical Safety Evaluation Co., Ltd. in a specific pathogen-free SPF-grade environment with constant temperature and humidity, 12h / 12h light and dark cycle, independent ventilated cages, and free access to food and water.

[0149] Fresh tissue specimens from clinical oncology patients, after being pathologically confirmed as the target tumor, are collected under aseptic conditions and immediately transferred to an SPF-grade animal facility for inoculation and passage. Strict aseptic procedures are followed throughout the process to avoid tissue contamination.

[0150] The main reagents are as follows:

[0151] The main instruments are as follows:

[0152] The specific experimental method is as follows: Tumor tissue preparation: Fresh tumor specimens were placed in pre-cooled Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing triple antibodies within 2 hours of ex vivo transport on ice. The specimens were repeatedly rinsed 3–5 times in HBSS in a biosafety cabinet to remove blood, fat, necrotic tissue, and normal tissue. Suitable tumor tissue was then trimmed to 2–3 mm. 3 Prepare uniform small pieces and place them in pre-cooled sterile petri dishes for later use.

[0153] Subcutaneous inoculation in mice: Nude mice were weighed and labeled using an electronic balance. The inoculation area (bilateral dorsal subcutaneous tissue) was disinfected with povidone-iodine. Sterile forceps were used to cut open the skin on the mouse's back, making a small subcutaneous incision. The subcutaneous space was bluntly dissected, and the prepared tumor tissue block was grasped. With the aid of a small amount of matrix adhesive, it was inserted into the puncture needle and implanted into the subcutaneous cavity. The skin wound was closed, and the wound was disinfected again with povidone-iodine. The mice were then housed together.

[0154] Tumor observation and feeding: (1) After tumor inoculation, the mice were fed normally, and their mental state, food and water intake, activity and fur luster were observed daily. (2) Monitor tumor growth daily, observe whether there is ulceration, bleeding or infection at the tumor site, and observe whether the mice show abnormalities such as emaciation, hair loss, ascites, or limb swelling. (3) Mice with serious abnormalities (such as large-area tumor ulceration, sudden weight loss, or near death) should be removed in time and recorded to avoid affecting the experimental data.

[0155] (4) After tumor inoculation, on days 7, 10, 13, 16, etc., the tumor volume is measured with calipers. The tumor volume is maintained until the average tumor volume reaches the preset inclusion standard (generally 100-300 mm). 3 When the drug administration experiment begins, the formal drug administration experiment will commence.

[0156] Tumor volume calculation formula: V = L × W 2 / 2 (where V is the tumor volume, L is the longest diameter of the tumor, and W is the shortest diameter of the tumor. Mouse body weight was recorded simultaneously to monitor animal health status.)

[0157] 2) Construction of human tumor cell line xenotransplantation (CDX) model The cell line derived xenograft (CDX) model is a standardized in vivo model in which human tumor cells, stably passaged in vitro, are inoculated into immunodeficient mice to form solid tumor tissue by relying on the host's nutritional supply. It is used for in vivo tumor growth characteristics research, anti-tumor drug screening and pharmacodynamic evaluation.

[0158] The experimental animals were BALB / c Nude mice, 5-6 weeks old, half male and half female (fixed according to cell line characteristics, not mixed), weighing 16-20g, purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.; they were housed in a specific pathogen-free SPF-grade environment in the animal laboratory of Xi'an International Medical Safety Evaluation Co., Ltd., with constant temperature and humidity, 12h / 12h light-dark cycle, independent ventilated cages, and free access to food and water.

[0159] All cells from human cancer cell lines (such as the liver cancer cell line Huh-7 and the human colon cancer cell line HT-29) were correctly identified by STR and were free of mycoplasma contamination. Log-phase cells were used in the experiments. The cell lines were purchased from the Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

[0160] The main reagents are as follows:

[0161] The main instruments are as follows:

[0162] The experimental method is as follows: Preparation of tumor cell suspension: Human tumor cells were resuscitated, cultured, expanded, and passaged three times. Tumor cells from passages three or more were used as the seed cell line. The cell culture supernatant was discarded, and the cell monolayer was washed once with PBS. 0.25% trypsin-EDTA digestion solution was added, and the cells were incubated at 37°C until they shrank and became rounded. Serum-containing complete culture medium was added to terminate digestion, and the cells were gently pipetted to obtain a single-cell suspension. The suspension was centrifuged at 1000 r / min for 5 min, and the supernatant was discarded. The cells were resuspended in sterile PBS, stained with trypan blue, and counted. Cells with a viability ≥95% were used for seeding. The cell density was adjusted, and the cell suspension and Matrigel were mixed at a 1:1 volume ratio on ice (50 μL cell suspension, 50 μL Matrigel), to prepare a final concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁶. 7 Use 100 μL of inoculum suspension and keep it in an ice bath throughout the process to prevent solidification.

[0163] Subcutaneous inoculation in mice: Nude mice were weighed and labeled using an electronic balance. The inoculation sites (bilateral dorsal subcutaneous tissue) were disinfected with povidone-iodine. Using a 1 mL syringe, 100 μL of cell suspension was drawn up, and air bubbles were removed. The needle was inserted subcutaneously at a 15°-30° angle, and after probing 0.8-1.0 cm, the injection was slowly pushed in to form a stable wheal. After injection, the needle was left in place for 10 seconds before being slowly withdrawn. A sterile cotton swab was used to gently press the puncture site for 5-10 seconds to prevent leakage. Each mouse was inoculated bilaterally, and the inoculation site and procedure were standardized to ensure consistency between groups.

[0164] Tumor observation and volume measurement: After inoculation, mice were observed daily for their mental state, activity, diet, and for any redness, swelling, leakage, infection, or ulceration at the inoculation site. Once the tumor was palpable, the long diameter (L) and short diameter (W) of the tumor were measured every 2 days using electronic calipers.

[0165] Tumor volume calculation formula: V = L × W 2 / 2 (where V is the tumor volume, L is the longest diameter of the tumor, and W is the shortest diameter of the tumor. Mouse body weight was recorded simultaneously to monitor animal health status.)

[0166] The following embodiments of the present invention employ the two model construction methods described above to construct the following human tumor animal models: gastric cardia squamous cell carcinoma, tracheoesophageal groove squamous cell carcinoma, mandibular squamous cell carcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, colonic adenocarcinoma, esophageal adenocarcinoma, ovarian adenocarcinoma, small intestinal adenocarcinoma, greater omentum adenocarcinoma, metastatic intestinal adenocarcinoma of moderately differentiated pelvic adenocarcinoma, colonic adenocarcinoma, small cell lung cancer brain metastasis, pancreatic cancer, glioma, lung adenosquamous carcinoma, rectal adenocarcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, small cell neuroendocrine gastric cancer, gastric squamous cell carcinoma, liver cancer, and pelvic adenocarcinoma. The antitumor activity of the samples and / or control samples of the present invention is investigated and verified in one or more of the above animal models.

[0167] 3) Animal pharmacodynamic studies: administration methods and activity evaluation methods Animal grouping 1. When the average tumor volume in mice reaches 100–300 mm. 3 The subjects were grouped using a stratified randomization method, and one or more of the following groups were set up in different experiments: blank control group, solvent control group, positive control group (selected), and low / medium / high dose of test substance group, with no less than 6 subjects in each group.

[0168] 2. The day of administration is recorded as day 0 (D0), and the initial tumor volume and body weight are recorded.

[0169] Animal administration methods Administration method: Intratumoral injection; fixed administration frequency: single dose.

[0170] Dosage volume: The dosage was calculated based on the tumor volume in mice, and the dosage volume was strictly controlled. The dosing time, dosage volume, and any abnormal animal reactions were also fully recorded.

[0171] Post-drug administration observation and index detection General condition observation: Observe the animal's mental state, activity level, fur, diet and water intake, and excretion daily.

[0172] Weight monitoring: Mouse weight was recorded twice a week. Any weight loss or emaciation was promptly assessed.

[0173] Tumor measurement: The long and short diameters of the tumor are measured twice a week, the tumor volume is calculated, and the presence of ulceration, bleeding, necrosis, or infection is observed.

[0174] Euthanasia shall be performed immediately if any of the following conditions are met: 1. The volume of a single tumor is >2000 mm. 3 Or the tumor diameter is >20mm; 2. The mouse's weight decreases by ≥20% from the baseline; 3. The tumor is severely ulcerated, infected, or has large-area necrosis; 4. The animal exhibits severe pathological conditions such as cachexia, inability to eat or move independently, and difficulty breathing.

[0175] Trial termination and specimen collection In the control group, all animals were euthanized when tumors reached the set upper limit or the dosing cycle ended. Subcutaneous tumor tissue was completely dissected, excess connective tissue was removed, and the tissues were weighed and photographed for record-keeping. Specimens were aliquoted and processed: some tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for pathological studies. Major organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were harvested as needed for organ toxicity assessment.

[0176] Data computation and statistical analysis 1. Core parameters include (mean) tumor volume and / or (mean) tumor weight, etc. Core calculation indicator: %T / C = (Tumor volume in DN treatment group - Tumor volume in D0 treatment group) / (Tumor volume in DN model control group - Tumor volume in D0 model group) 100; (Note: DN refers to day N; D0 refers to day 0) %TGI=100-%T / C.

[0177] 2. Statistical methods: One-way ANOVA was used for measurement data that conformed to a normal distribution; non-normal data were tested using non-parametric tests; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant between groups.

[0178] 3. Compile tumor growth curves and weight change curves.

[0179] Example 1: Tumor volume data study of the representative sample of the present invention 3 days after administration This embodiment aims to investigate the effect of the sample of the present invention on tumor volume 3 days after administration in an animal model. A mouse pancreatic cancer tumor model was constructed according to the tumor model construction method listed above, and L-ascorbic acid and sodium hydroxide solution samples (samples 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4) were used for testing. The indicators examined were tumor volume and tumor growth inhibition rate 3 days after administration. Specific experimental results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0180] Table 1. Tumor volume and tumor growth inhibition rate in mice 3 days after administration of the sample of the present invention.

[0181] Remark: 1. Dosage volume: 100µL / 100mm 3 Inject the undiluted solution at 100% of the tumor volume. Dosage volume: 50 µL / 100 mm. 3 1. Inject the undiluted solution at 50% of the tumor volume. 2. TGI represents the tumor growth inhibition rate. 3. P Value: Difference in tumor volume between the treatment group and the control group. 4. TGI < 40%, no tumor-inhibiting effect. TGI 40%–60%: Moderate tumor-inhibiting activity; TGI 60%–80%: Significant inhibitory effect, tumor growth is significantly limited; TGI > 80%: Strong tumor inhibition, tumor growth is basically stopped; TGI > 100%: Tumor no longer grows and its volume even decreases; TGI > 200%: Tumor volume is significantly reduced, proving a very strong tumor-eliminating effect.

[0182] In addition, the tumor growth curves of representative samples 1-2 and 1-4, as well as the changes in mouse body weight after intratumoral injection, are shown in [reference 1]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0183] The above experimental results demonstrate that the sample of this invention has a significant effect on tumor volume in animal models after administration, significantly reducing tumor volume within 3 days after administration. This proves that it has a highly potent and rapidly acting tumor-suppressive effect, enabling effective tumor elimination. Furthermore, the body weight of mice in each experimental group remained stable without significant changes, indicating that the sample of this invention has good safety.

[0184] Example 2: Tumor volume data study of the representative sample of the present invention 21 days after administration This embodiment aims to investigate the effect of the sample of the present invention on tumor volume after 21 days of administration in an animal model. Various mouse tumor models were constructed using the tumor model construction methods listed above, and tests were conducted using L-ascorbic acid and sodium hydroxide solution samples (samples 1-5 (pH=13.30)). The tumor volume after 21 days of administration was the key performance indicator. Specific experimental results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0185] Table 2. Tumor volume and tumor growth inhibition rate in mice 21 days after administration of the samples of this invention.

[0186] Remark: 1. 100% Dosage Volume: Inject the undiluted solution at 100% of the tumor volume. 75% Dosage Volume: Inject the undiluted solution at 75% of the tumor volume. The same applies below. 2. P Value: Difference in tumor volume between the treatment group and the control group.

[0187] Furthermore, as an example, comparative photographs of tumor sites in mice with lung squamous cell carcinoma (samples 1-5 of the present invention) before administration, on day 3, day 7, and day 21 after administration are provided. Figure 3 .

[0188] The above experimental results show that the sample of this invention has a significant effect on the volume of various tumors after administration to animal models, with an efficacy rate of 100%. Furthermore, after 21 days of administration, the tumor volume in mice decreased to 0 (i.e., invisible / undetectable level), indicating that the sample of this invention can significantly reduce tumor volume and even achieve the technical effect of tumor elimination. In addition, the body weight of mice in each experimental group remained stable without significant changes, indicating that the sample of this invention has good safety. In summary, the sample of this invention has a highly potent and rapid tumor-suppressive effect, which can effectively eliminate tumors and has broad prospects for achieving "effective cure" of tumors.

[0189] Example 3: Tumor volume inhibition data of other samples after 21 days of administration according to the present invention This embodiment aims to investigate the effect of other samples of the present invention on tumor volume in animal models after administration for 21 days. Various mouse tumor models were constructed using the tumor model construction methods listed above, and different samples were used for testing. The evaluation index was the tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI%) after 21 days of administration. Specific experimental results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0190] Table 3. Tumor growth inhibition rate in mice 21 days after administration of other samples of the present invention.

[0191] The above experimental results show that the various samples of the present invention have a significant effect on the volume of various tumors after administration in animal models, indicating that the samples of the present invention can significantly reduce tumor volume and even achieve the technical effect of eliminating tumors. Furthermore, the body weight of mice in each experimental group remained stable without significant changes, indicating that the samples of the present invention have good safety. In addition, the above experimental results further show that when the sample components are the same, a pH greater than 12 (preferably greater than 13) can achieve a further improved tumor inhibition effect. For details, please refer to the TGI comparison data between samples 2-3 (pH=11.80) and 2-4 (pH=13.50), and the TGI comparison data between samples 8-2 (pH=11.80) and 8-3 (pH=13.50).

[0192] Example 4: Study on the effect of NaOH concentration in the sample of the present invention on antitumor activity This embodiment aims to evaluate the effect of NaOH concentration in the samples of the present invention on antitumor activity. The added concentrations of samples 1-10, 1-11, and 1-12 were 10%, 30%, and 80% of the NaOH concentration of samples 1-3, respectively. Before a single injection of the sample solution into the tumor of a tumor model mouse, and 2 and 4 hours after injection, the maximum surface area of ​​the tumor and the necrotic surface area of ​​the maximum surface area of ​​the tumor (by contrast imaging) were measured. The ratio of the necrotic surface area of ​​the maximum surface area of ​​the tumor to the maximum surface area of ​​the tumor characterized the antitumor activity of the sample; a higher ratio indicated higher antitumor activity. Specific experimental results are shown in Table 4 below.

[0193] Table 4. Effect of different NaOH concentrations on antitumor activity in the samples of this invention.

[0194] As shown in Table 4 above, samples 1-10, 1-11, and 1-12 all achieved significant tumor inhibition 2 hours and 4 hours after intratumoral injection. The ratio of the largest necrotic area to the largest tumor area was greater than 70% in all samples, especially for sample 1-12, where the ratio was close to 100%. These data indicate that, within the scope of this invention, even with a reduction in the concentration of NaOH added to the samples, excellent tumor inhibition effects can still be achieved.

[0195] Example 5: Study on the antitumor activity of the invented sample compared to L-ascorbic acid alone and NaOH alone This embodiment aims to evaluate the antitumor activity of the invention sample containing both L-ascorbic acid and NaOH compared to L-ascorbic acid solution alone or NaOH solution alone. This embodiment uses samples 1-5 (pH=13.30) (A / B composition), control sample 1-1 (1% NaOH solution alone (pH=13.33)) (component B) and control sample 2-1 (ascorbic acid solution alone (pH=2.013)) (component A).

Animal handling during the experiment complied with the "Guiding Opinions on the Humane Treatment of Laboratory Animals" issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2006.

[0197] In this experiment, all test samples, including component A, component B, and the A / B combination, were sterile, filtered for sterility, and stored at room temperature in the dark. Fresh surgical tissue specimens from clinical oncology patients, after pathological confirmation of tumors, were collected under aseptic conditions and immediately transferred to an SPF-grade animal facility for inoculation and passage. Strict aseptic techniques were followed throughout the process to avoid tissue contamination.

[0198] Fresh glioma tumor specimens were placed in pre-cooled Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing triple antibodies within 2 hours of extubation and transported on ice. The specimens were repeatedly rinsed 3–5 times in the biosafety cabinet with HBSS to remove blood, fat, necrotic tissue, and normal tissue. Suitable tumor tissue was then trimmed to 2–3 mm. 3 Uniform small pieces were placed in pre-cooled sterile culture dishes for later use. 15 μL of Matrigel was added to each tumor tissue piece. Nude mice were weighed and labeled using an electronic balance. The inoculation area (bilateral dorsal subcutaneous tissue) was disinfected with povidone-iodine. The skin on the back of the NCG mice was cut open with sterile forceps, a small subcutaneous incision was made, and the subcutaneous space was bluntly dissected. The prepared tumor tissue piece was picked up, and with the aid of a small amount of Matrigel, it was inserted into the subcutaneous cavity through a puncture needle. The skin wound was closed, and the wound was disinfected again with povidone-iodine. The mice were then housed together. The survival and tumor formation of the NCG mice were observed. The inoculation continued until the subcutaneous tumor in the nude mice reached 1000-2000 mm in size. 3 Afterwards, the nude mice were euthanized, and the tumor tissue was removed by aseptic surgery. The tissue was then washed in Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) pre-cooled with triple antibodies, and the tumor was then cut into pieces of approximately 2–3 mm. 3Prepare tissue fragments of varying sizes and transplant them into Nu / Nu mice using the method described above. After transplantation, monitor tumor growth regularly and measure and calculate tumor volume using calipers.

[0199] The experiment consisted of three groups: Group A (component 1), Group B (component 2), and Group A / B combination group (component 3). Six tumor-bearing mice were used in each group. Different doses were administered based on the tumor volume, with a single single dose. Changes in the mice's physical signs, tumor shape, and morphology were observed before and at different time points after administration. The antitumor activity of the three different administration groups was evaluated. The experimental design is shown in Tables 5-1, 5-2, and 5-3. TV refers to tumor volume.

[0200] Table 5-1 Dosage Design Table for Experiment 1

[0201] Table 5-2 Dosage Design Table for Experimental Group 2

[0202] Table 5-3 Dosage Design Table for Experimental Groups 3

[0203] The observation indicators include the following: General condition observation: Animals in each group were observed in their general condition from the acclimatization period to the end of the experiment, at least once a day. This included, but was not limited to, the animals' appearance, activity, and condition.

[0204] Body weight: Animals to be measured: Surviving animals in each group. Measurement time: At least once during the adaptation period; at least once during the modeling period; at least once a week during the drug administration period.

[0205] Tumor volume: Animals used for measurement: surviving animals from each group. Measurement time: Tumor volume was measured before and at different time points after drug administration. Measurement method: The major axis (a) and minor axis (b) of the tumor were measured using vernier calipers. Tumor volume was calculated as V = 1 / 2 × a × b. 2 The tumor inhibition rate (%) is calculated based on the measured tumor volume. The formula is: Tumor inhibition rate = (1 - Tumor volume after drug administration / Tumor volume of control group) × 100%. The tumor inhibition rate measures the inhibitory effect of the drug on tumor growth.

[0206] Data collection and analysis: Excel software was used for data analysis, and GraphPad Prism 9.5 was used for drawing statistical charts.

[0207] A comparison of the effects of component A, component B, and the A / B combination on tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice revealed significant differences in tumor growth among the different treatment groups. In the A / B combination group, tumor volume decreased rapidly after administration, approaching baseline levels from day 3 onwards, and remained at extremely low levels thereafter, with complete tumor regression by day 7, achieving a tumor inhibition rate of (99.00±2.44)%, demonstrating a stable and sustained inhibitory effect. In the component B group, tumor volume showed a continuous decreasing trend after administration, but the decrease was less pronounced than in the A / B combination group, with a tumor inhibition rate of (28.51±44.53)%. In the component A group, tumor volume decreased significantly on day 3 after administration, gradually increasing in a fluctuating manner, with a significantly increased standard deviation over time. Individual variability was significant in this experimental group, with a tumor inhibition rate of only (45.29±88.69)%, as detailed in Tables 5-4 and 5-5. Figure 4 (Trend chart of tumor volume change).

[0208] Table 5-4 Tumor inhibition rate (%) in tumor-bearing mice after administration of different drugs ( - (x±s, n=6)

[0209] Overall, component A showed tumor growth inhibition and tumor regression in some tumor-bearing mice, but a certain proportion of mice also experienced tumor growth after administration, indicating a tendency for tumor recurrence, with significant inter-individual differences. Component B showed tumor inhibition in the short term, but some mice also showed an increase in tumor volume on the 2nd to 3rd day after administration, indicating a tendency for tumor recurrence. The tumor inhibition rate of tumor-bearing mice reached 100% after 7 days of administration of the A / B combination, and no tumor recurrence was observed within 21 days. Therefore, the A / B combination has a very strong tumor growth inhibition and clearance ability in the tumor-bearing mice in this experiment, achieving a significant synergistic effect compared to component A and component B alone.

[0210] Furthermore, morphological observations showed that before administration of the A / B combination, the morphology and color of the tumors in all tumor-bearing mice were normal. Immediately after administration, all six mice exhibited redness of the tumor and surrounding tissue, with some mice also showing tumor swelling. Two hours after administration, the redness of the tumor and surrounding tissue expanded. Twenty-one days after administration, complete tumor regression was observed in all mice, leaving only scars, small areas of unhealed ulceration, or peripheral erythema. No mouse deaths or other acute or chronic safety events occurred throughout the experimental period. For detailed morphological observations, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 5A-5C The above experimental results indicate that the A / B combination exhibits excellent safety and efficacy when administered.

[0211] Example 6: Antitumor safety study of the inventive sample compared to NaOH alone This embodiment aims to evaluate the antitumor safety of the invention sample containing both L-ascorbic acid and NaOH compared to NaOH solution alone. This embodiment uses samples 1-5 (pH=13.30) (A / B composition) and control samples 1-2 (stock solution B (without A) used to prepare the A / B composition).

[0212] Twelve SPF-grade Nu / Nu nude mice (5 females and 7 males), aged 5–6 weeks and weighing 18–22 g, were purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., license number: SCXK(Sichuan)2023-0040; experimental unit usage license number: SYXK(Shaanxi)2025-014. They were housed in a specific pathogen-free SPF-grade environment at Xi'an International Medical Safety Evaluation Co., Ltd., with constant temperature and humidity, 12h / 12h light / dark cycle, individually ventilated cages, and free access to food and water. Animal handling during the experiment complied with the "Guiding Opinions on the Humane Treatment of Laboratory Animals" issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2006.

[0213] Fresh tumor specimens were placed in pre-cooled Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing triple antibodies within 2 hours of extubation and transported on ice. The specimens were repeatedly rinsed 3–5 times in the biosafety cabinet with HBSS to remove blood, fat, necrotic tissue, and normal tissue. Suitable tumor tissue was then trimmed to 2–3 mm. 3 Uniform small pieces were placed in pre-cooled sterile culture dishes for later use. 15 μL of Matrigel was added to each tumor tissue piece. Nude mice were weighed and labeled using an electronic balance. The inoculation area (bilateral dorsal subcutaneous tissue) was disinfected with povidone-iodine. The skin on the back of the NCG mice was cut open with sterile forceps, a small subcutaneous incision was made, and the subcutaneous space was bluntly dissected. The prepared tumor tissue piece was picked up, and with the aid of a small amount of Matrigel, it was inserted into the subcutaneous cavity through a puncture needle. The skin wound was closed, and the wound was disinfected again with povidone-iodine. The mice were then housed together. The survival and tumor formation of the NCG mice were observed. The inoculation continued until the subcutaneous tumor in the nude mice reached 1000-2000 mm in size. 3 Afterwards, the nude mice were euthanized, and the tumor tissue was removed by aseptic surgery. The tissue was then washed in Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) pre-cooled with triple antibodies, and the tumor was then cut into pieces of approximately 2–3 mm. 3 Prepare tissue fragments of varying sizes and transplant them into Nu / Nu mice using the method described above. After transplantation, monitor tumor growth regularly and measure and calculate tumor volume using calipers.

[0214] The experiment consisted of two groups: Group 1 was the component B stock solution group (control samples 1-2, calculated to correspond to 22% of component B per unit volume in the A / B composition), and Group 2 was the A / B composition group. Six tumor-bearing mice were used in each group. Different doses were administered based on the tumor volume, with a single administration. Changes in the mice's physical signs, tumor shape, and morphology were observed before and at different time points after administration. The experimental design is shown in Tables 6 and 7.

[0215] Table 6 Dosage Design Table for Experiment 1

[0216] Table 7 Dosage Design Table for Experiment 2

[0217] Morphological observation showed that all test animals in both experimental groups experienced varying degrees of drug extravasation immediately after administration, with some cases involving extensive extravasation. The tumor and surrounding normal skin tissue exhibited reactions such as tumor hemorrhage and localized skin redness. Two hours after administration, cyanotic or black necrosis appeared in the tumor and surrounding tissues, and some tumor-bearing mice experienced tumor rupture. Four hours after administration, the necrosis area further expanded, accompanied by tissue necrosis and hemorrhage, indicating a worsening trend in tumor and surrounding tissue damage. These results suggest that drug extravasation during administration led to severe damage to the tumor and surrounding normal tissues. For detailed morphological observations, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 6A-6C Compared to the morphological observations of the test animals in Experiment 1 (see...), Figures 5A-5C In experiment 2, the tissue damage in all test animals was significantly more severe.

[0218] The above experimental results show that the sample of the present invention has significantly improved antitumor safety compared with NaOH solution alone, and the introduction of component A (L-ascorbic acid) significantly reduces tissue damage caused by component B.

[0219] Example 7: The effect of the selection of other component A in the composition on antitumor activity This embodiment aims to evaluate the effect of the selection of other component A in the composition on the antitumor activity. The selected sample is control sample 3-1 (a solution of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide (pH=7.00)), that is, hydrochloric acid is used instead.

[0220] Nude mice were inoculated with human pancreatic cancer tumors (tumor volume 100 mm²). 3 -300mm 3 The efficacy of the drug on tumors in mice was observed by monitoring changes in body weight, tumor growth curves, and tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI%) through intratumoral injection. Six mice (half male and half female) were used in the experimental group, and the drug was administered at a volume of 100 µL / 100 mm².3 / time, the number of times to administer the medication is 1.

[0221] For control sample 3-1, its TGI on day 21 was less than 10% (P > 0.05), and it did not exhibit statistically significant antitumor activity compared to the solvent control. The experiment demonstrates that the selection of component A has a significant impact on the antitumor activity of the composition, and the selection of specific component A in this invention is crucial for achieving the potent antitumor effect of the composition.

[0222] Example 8: The effect of the selection of other component B in the composition on antitumor activity This embodiment aims to evaluate the effect of the selection of other component B (base) in the composition on the antitumor activity. The selected samples are samples 11-1 (L-ascorbic acid + potassium hydroxide (pH=13.30)) and 11-2 (L-ascorbic acid + sodium ethoxide (pH=13.30)); and control samples 4-1 (L-ascorbic acid + berberine (pH=10.05)), 4-2 (L-ascorbic acid + berberine (pH=13.50)), 5-1 (L-ascorbic acid + matrine (pH=6.27)), 6-1 (citric acid + matrine (pH=3.67)), 6-2 (citric acid + matrine (pH=7.216)), and 7-1 (citric acid + berberine (pH=6.105)).

[0223] This experiment was conducted in two batches, with the first batch targeting samples 11-1 and 11-2. Nude mice were inoculated with human-derived tumors (tumor volume 100 mm²). 3 -300mm 3 The tumor volume (TV / mm²) in mice was monitored before drug administration and on days 1 and 2 after drug administration via intratumoral injection. 3 The administration volume is 100µL / 100mm. 3 / time, administration frequency is 1 time. See Table 8 below for specific experimental results.

[0224] Table 8 Tumor volume on day 1 and day 2 after drug administration

[0225] Note: " / " indicates that it was not measured.

[0226] As shown in Table 8, when potassium hydroxide or sodium ethoxide is selected as component B, the resulting composition also has excellent antitumor activity, and a significant reduction in tumor volume was observed on the first or second day after administration (P<0.05).

[0227] The second batch of experiments targeted control samples 4-1, 4-2, 5-1, 6-1, 6-2, and 7-1. Nude mice were inoculated with human-derived tumors (tumor volume 100 mm²).3 -300mm 3 The tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI%) in mice was monitored on day 21 after administration via intratumoral injection. Specific experimental results are shown in Table 9 below.

[0228] Table 9 Tumor growth inhibition rate after drug administration

[0229] As shown in Table 9, when matrine or berberine was selected as component B, the resulting composition did not have substantial tumor-suppressive effects, and there were significant safety issues (mouse deaths) in multiple experimental groups.

[0230] The experiments described above in this embodiment demonstrate that the selection of component B also has a significant impact on the antitumor activity of the composition. The selection of specific component B in this invention is crucial for achieving the potent antitumor effect of the composition.

[0231] Example 9: Study on the long-term antitumor efficacy and safety of the composition of the present invention This embodiment aims to study the long-term antitumor efficacy and safety of the compositions of the present invention (samples 1-5) after intratumoral injection (Note: mice older than 9 months are considered elderly).

[0232] SPF grade Nu / Nu nude mice, 5–8 weeks old, 18–22g; purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., license number: SCXK (Sichuan) 2023-0040; laboratory unit use license number: SYXK (Shaanxi) 2025-014; housed in the specific pathogen-free SPF grade environment of Xi'an International Medical Safety Evaluation Co., Ltd., with constant temperature and humidity, 12h / 12h light and dark cycle, independent ventilated cages, and free access to food and water.

[0233] Fresh tumor specimens were placed in pre-cooled Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing triple antibodies within 2 hours of extubation and transported on ice. The specimens were repeatedly rinsed 3–5 times in the biosafety cabinet with HBSS to remove blood, fat, necrotic tissue, and normal tissue. Suitable tumor tissue was then trimmed to 2–3 mm. 3 Prepare uniform small pieces and place them in pre-cooled sterile culture dishes for later use. Add 15 μL of Matrigel to each piece of tumor tissue.

[0234] Nude mice were weighed and labeled using an electronic balance. The inoculation sites (bilateral dorsal subcutaneous tissue) were disinfected with povidone-iodine. Sterile forceps were used to cut open the skin on the back of the NCG mice, making a small subcutaneous incision. The subcutaneous space was bluntly dissected, and the prepared tumor tissue block was grasped. With the aid of a small amount of matrix gel, it was inserted into the subcutaneous cavity through a puncture needle. The skin wound was closed, and the wound was disinfected again with povidone-iodine. The mice were then housed together. The survival and tumor formation of the NCG mice were observed. The inoculation continued until the subcutaneous tumors in the nude mice reached 1000-2000 mm in size. 3 Afterwards, the nude mice were euthanized, and the tumor tissue was removed using aseptic surgery. The tissue was then washed in physiological saline, and the tumor was cut into pieces of approximately 2–3 mm. 3 Prepare tissue fragments of different sizes and transplant them into Nu / Nu mice as described above. After transplantation, monitor tumor growth regularly, measure and calculate tumor volume using calipers, and aseptically dissect the tumor after it has grown to a suitable volume. Remove necrotic tissue and perform continuous passage in mice. Generally, passage is performed for 3 to 5 generations to establish 14 tumor models, as shown in Table 10 below.

[0235] Table 10 Established tumor models

[0236] The administration method can be either of the following two: 1. Constructing a PDX model by subcutaneous inoculation in the right dorsal scapular region: intratumoral injection based on tumor volume. 2. Constructing a PDX model by subcutaneous inoculation in the left and right dorsal scapular regions, administering 100% of the full tumor volume to one tumor; considering the systemic exposure of the contralateral ipsilateral mice and the synchronous growth of the contralateral tumor, after 5 days of observation following the initial administration, administer 75% (or 67%) of the tumor volume to the contralateral tumor. See the table below for specific dosage design.

[0282] 9.15 Effects of intratumoral drug administration on tumor morphology in 14 human tumor models Tumor morphology observation results: Before drug administration, no abnormalities were observed in the morphology and color of the tumors in all tumor-bearing mice. On day 3 after drug administration, the tumor wound had completely scabbed over, the scab was dry with no bleeding or exudation, and the surrounding skin showed no redness or swelling. On day 7, the scab on the tumor wound was firm and stable, with a slightly dry and hard texture, no ulceration or exudation, and the surrounding skin had normal color without redness or inflammation; the wound gradually and steadily healed. On day 21 and during long-term observation, the mouse wounds were completely healed, the scar tissue tended to flatten and soften, the skin color was basically close to that of the surrounding normal skin, there was no redness, swelling, ulceration, or recurrence, and the local skin and the mouse's condition remained stable. See details. Figures 7A-7E .

[0283] Furthermore, after the primary tumor lesions in mice completely regressed, there were no signs of local recurrence or distant metastasis, and the mice were in good condition. These results indicate that the drug, when administered intratumorally, can effectively clear lesions in human PDX tumor models and has the potential to radically cure tumors. This provides important evidence of long-term efficacy and safety in vivo for subsequent clinical local administration of the drug to treat cancer.

[0284] Example 10: In vivo pharmacokinetic study of the composition of the present invention This embodiment aims to study the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the composition of the present invention (samples 1-5) after a single local injection into the tumor in tumor-bearing mice, and to investigate the absorption and metabolism of the composition of the present invention in tumor-bearing mice, so as to provide a basis for subsequent in vivo pharmacokinetic studies.

[0285] Thirty-three SPF-grade male Nu / Nu nude mice, 5–8 weeks old, 18–22 g, were purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., license number: SCXK (Sichuan) 2023-0040; experimental unit usage license number: SYXK (Shaanxi) 2025-014. They were housed in a specific pathogen-free SPF-grade environment at Xi'an International Medical Safety Evaluation Co., Ltd., with constant temperature and humidity, 12h / 12h light-dark cycle, independent ventilated cages, and free access to food and water.

[0286] Fresh lung squamous cell carcinoma tumor specimens were placed in pre-cooled Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing triple antibodies within 2 hours of ex vivo transport on ice. The specimens were repeatedly rinsed 3–5 times in the biosafety cabinet with HBSS to remove blood, fat, necrotic tissue, and normal tissue. Suitable tumor tissue was then trimmed to 2–3 mm. 3 Prepare uniform small pieces and place them in pre-cooled sterile culture dishes for later use. Add 15 μL of Matrigel to each piece of tumor tissue.

[0287] Nude mice were weighed and labeled using an electronic balance. The inoculation sites (bilateral dorsal subcutaneous tissue) were disinfected with povidone-iodine. Sterile forceps were used to cut open the skin on the back of the NCG mice, making a small subcutaneous incision. The subcutaneous space was bluntly dissected, and the prepared tumor tissue block was grasped. With the aid of a small amount of matrix gel, it was inserted into the subcutaneous cavity through a puncture needle. The skin wound was closed, and the wound was disinfected again with povidone-iodine. The mice were then housed together. The survival and tumor formation of the NCG mice were observed. The inoculation continued until the subcutaneous tumors in the nude mice reached 1000-2000 mm in size. 3 Afterwards, the nude mice were euthanized, and the tumor tissue was removed using aseptic surgery. The tissue was then washed in physiological saline, and the tumor was cut into pieces of approximately 2–3 mm. 3 Prepare tissue fragments of varying sizes and transplant them into Nu / Nu mice using the method described above. After transplantation, monitor tumor growth regularly, measure and calculate tumor volume using calipers, and aseptically dissect the tumor after it has grown to a suitable size. Remove necrotic tissue and then pass the tumor continuously in mice, generally for 3 to 5 generations of colon adenocarcinoma.

[0288] The experiment consisted of 11 groups, with 3 tumor-bearing mice in each group. Different doses of the drug were administered based on the tumor volume (100 μL / 100 mmHg). 3 ), administer once per dose.

[0289] Set the following sampling time points: Before administration: (0 h); After administration: 0.08h, 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h.

[0290] Note: 1) The acceptable error is ±1 min when sampling for ≤30 min, ±2 min when sampling for 31~60 min, ±5 min when sampling for 61~359 min, ±10 min when sampling for 360~1440 min, and ±15 min when sampling for ≥1440 min.

[0291] Plasma Sample Collection and Preservation: Sampling Method: Whole blood was collected from mice by enucleation. After collection, the whole blood sample was placed in an EP tube containing EDTA-K2 anticoagulant, mixed thoroughly, and centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 min at 4°C using a high-speed refrigerated centrifuge. The supernatant plasma was then transferred to an EP tube. Samples should not be left at room temperature for more than 4 hours. At the sampling site, blood samples were stored in a foam box containing ice. Plasma samples were then transferred to the analytical laboratory for preservation in a freezer at -60°C to -80°C.

[0292] Tumor tissue sample collection and preservation: Sampling method: Whole tumor tissue was obtained by dissection. Mice were anesthetized and euthanized immediately after whole blood collection, and the entire tumor tissue was dissected and removed. If the tumor was contaminated with blood from other sites, the surface was rinsed with physiological saline, dried, weighed, and placed in EP tubes. After collection, the samples should not be left at room temperature for more than 4 hours. At the sampling site, samples were stored in foam boxes containing ice. Samples were then transferred to the analytical laboratory and stored at -60℃ to -80℃.

[0293] Sample pretreatment analysis is as follows: Plasma: After collecting plasma samples, the acetonitrile protein precipitation method was used. Plasma was mixed with acetonitrile at a volume ratio of 1:6 (v / v), ultrasonically homogenized, and centrifuged at 12000 rpm / min for 5 min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected, concentrated by nitrogen blowing, and the samples were reconstituted before LC-MS / MS analysis.

[0294] Tumor tissue: After obtaining tissue specimens, tissue homogenization was performed. 1 mL of sterile water for injection was added to every 0.1 g of tissue and homogenized. The homogenate was then subjected to acetonitrile protein precipitation at a 1:6 (v / v) volume ratio of tissue homogenate to acetonitrile, ultrasonically mixed, and centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 5 min at 4°C. The supernatant was then analyzed by LC-MS / MS.

[0295] Based on the measured blood drug concentration-time data for each animal, Phoenix WinNonlin was used to plot the blood drug concentration-time curve and the mean blood drug concentration-time curve for each animal. Pharmacokinetic parameters, including peak concentration (Cmax), peak time (Tmax), terminal elimination rate (Ke), area under the curve (AUC), clearance rate (CL), apparent volume of distribution (Vd), and mean residence time (MRT), were calculated using the Phoenix WinNonlin non-compartmental model.

[0296] The experimental results are shown in Table 13 below.

[0297] Table 13 Drug concentrations in mouse plasma and tumor tissue at different time points

[0298] Based on the concentrations of drug components in mouse plasma and tumor tissue measured at different time points, pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using the Phoenix WinNonlin non-compartmental model, and the results are shown in Table 14 below.

[0299] Table 14 Pharmacokinetic parameters in mouse plasma and tumor tissue

[0300] After local injection of the drug of this invention into tumor tissue, a peak concentration (1.32 mg / ml) is achieved within a short time (0.5 h). This demonstrates that the drug of this invention can rapidly exert its effect in tumor tissue within a short period of time. The peak concentration of the drug at the tumor site is more than 500 times higher than the peak concentration detected in peripheral plasma (2.45 ug / mL). This demonstrates that the amount of the drug of this invention exposed in peripheral plasma is extremely small. After local injection of the drug of this invention into tumor tissue, its maximum residence time is 12 h, and the average residence time is 4.5 h. Compared with the average drug residence time detected in peripheral plasma (0.14 h), the exposure time within the tumor is more than 30 times longer. This demonstrates that the residence time of the composition of this invention within tumor tissue is sufficiently long, and even when exposed outside the tumor, the residence time is extremely short. After local injection of the drug composition of this invention into tumor tissue, the drug clearance rate in peripheral plasma is more than 12,000 times that in the local tumor tissue, demonstrating that the composition of this invention is readily absorbed and metabolized in vivo. Furthermore, after local injection of the drug composition of the present invention into tumor tissue, the drug half-life in the tumor tissue (3.3h) is 17 times that of the drug half-life exposed in peripheral plasma (0.19h), proving that the composition of the present invention exerts its efficacy in tumor tissue for a longer period of time and is less likely to be exposed in peripheral plasma.

[0301] Example 11: Study on pH changes in tumor and adjacent tissues after administration of the composition of the present invention This embodiment aims to study the changes in pH value of the tumor and adjacent tissues after a single local injection of the composition of the present invention (samples 1-5).

[0302] Thirty-nine SPF-grade Nu / Nu nude mice, 5–8 weeks old, 18–22g, were purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., license number: SCXK (Sichuan) 2023-0040; experimental unit usage license number: SYXK (Shaanxi) 2025-014. They were housed in a specific pathogen-free SPF-grade environment at Xi'an International Medical Safety Evaluation Co., Ltd., with constant temperature and humidity, 12h / 12h light-dark cycle, independent ventilated cages, and free access to food and water.

[0303] Fresh human tumor specimens were placed in pre-cooled Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing triple antibodies within 2 hours of extubation and transported on ice. The specimens were repeatedly rinsed 3–5 times in the biosafety cabinet with HBSS to remove blood, fat, necrotic tissue, and normal tissue. Suitable tumor tissue was then trimmed to 2–3 mm. 3 Prepare uniform small pieces and place them in pre-cooled sterile culture dishes for later use. Add 15 μL of Matrigel to each piece of tumor tissue.

[0304] Nude mice were weighed and labeled using an electronic balance. The inoculation sites (bilateral dorsal subcutaneous tissue) were disinfected with povidone-iodine. Sterile forceps were used to cut open the skin on the back of the NCG mice, making a small subcutaneous incision. The subcutaneous space was bluntly dissected, and the prepared tumor tissue block was grasped. With the aid of a small amount of matrix gel, it was inserted into the subcutaneous cavity through a puncture needle. The skin wound was closed, and the wound was disinfected again with povidone-iodine. The mice were then housed together. The survival and tumor formation of the NCG mice were observed. The inoculation continued until the subcutaneous tumors in the nude mice reached 1000-2000 mm in size. 3 Afterwards, the nude mice were euthanized, and the tumor tissue was removed using aseptic surgery. The tissue was then washed in physiological saline, and the tumor was cut into pieces of approximately 2–3 mm. 3 Prepare tissue fragments of varying sizes and transplant them into Nu / Nu mice using the method described above. After transplantation, monitor tumor growth regularly, measure and calculate tumor volume using calipers, and aseptically dissect the tumor after it has grown to a suitable size. Remove necrotic tissue and then pass the tumor continuously in mice, generally for 3 to 5 generations of colon adenocarcinoma.

[0305] This experiment used 39 immune tumor-bearing mice and divided them into 13 time periods (3 mice per time period). Different doses were administered based on the tumor volume of the mice, with each dose administered once.

[0306] Animals tested: Animals at various administration time points. Test times: before administration, 0.08h, 0.5h, 1h, 4h, 8h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 96h, D5, and D7 after administration.

[0307] Measurement Method: This experiment used a pH meter to measure the pH values ​​of tumor tissue (left, middle, and right sites) and adjacent tissues (2mm, 5mm, 10mm, and 20mm). Due to the influence of tissue sampling method, probe contact angle, local tissue heterogeneity, and inherent equipment error (±0.5 pH units), single-sample data exhibited some fluctuations. Subsequent analyses interpreted trends within the error range. Excel software was used for data analysis and related methods.

[0308] The overall trend of pH changes within the tumor is shown in Table 15.

[0309] Table 15 pH values ​​of the left, right, and central parts of the tumor at different time points.

[0310] Using analysis software such as Excel, the data in Table 15 was plotted into a graph, and the result is as follows. Figure 8AAs shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents 13 different time points after drug administration to the tumor, and the vertical axis represents the corresponding pH value at each time point. The blue, purple, and yellow lines represent the pH value fluctuation curves of three parts of the tumor (left, right, and center) over time after drug administration. The red box indicates the normal physiologically acceptable pH range.

[0311] from Figure 8A It is evident that within a short period after drug administration (0.08 h), the pH values ​​of the left, middle, and right sites of the tumor all reached their peak values. The middle site had the highest pH value at 12.67, followed by the left site at 12.24, and the right site had the lowest at 11.99. After the peak values, the pH values ​​of all three sites gradually decreased (from 1 h to 48 h), with a faster rate of decrease in the first 12 h, followed by a slower rate of decrease after 24 h. Finally, the pH values ​​of all three sites gradually stabilized after 48 h. Furthermore, from 72 h to D7, the pH value of the entire tumor remained between 7.0 and 7.5, close to normal levels and consistent with the physiological variation patterns.

[0312] Furthermore, the pH changes of tissues at different distances from the tumor (2 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm) before and after drug administration were dynamically monitored to investigate the pH change trend of the adjacent tissues after intratumoral injection of the drug composition of the present invention. The results are shown in Table 16.

[0313] Table 16 pH values ​​at different time points and different tumor-peripheral distances

[0314] Using analysis software such as Excel, the data in Table 16 was plotted into a graph, and the result is as follows. Figure 8B As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents different time points after drug administration to the tumor, and the vertical axis represents the corresponding pH value at each time point. The four lines (blue, purple, yellow, and red) represent the fluctuation curves of pH value in the tissue adjacent to the tumor (2mm, 5mm, 10mm, and 20mm) over time, respectively. The red box indicates the normal physiologically acceptable pH range.

[0315] from Figure 8B It is evident that at 2 mm from the tumor: the pH value reached its peak (8.751) shortly after administration (0.08 h), then gradually decreased, returning to near pre-administration levels after 12 h. At 5 mm from the tumor: it also reached its peak (8.475) shortly after administration (0.08 h), but the rate of decrease was faster, returning to the normal physiological pH range after 1 h. At 10 mm from the tumor: the overall pH change was relatively gradual, with less influence from fluctuations in tumor-related drug administration. At 20 mm from the tumor: the overall change was the most stable, remaining within the normal physiological pH range throughout the monitoring process.

[0316] In summary, after intratumoral injection of the drug composition of the present invention, the intratumoral pH rises to 12.67 in a short period of time, while the pH of normal tissue 2 mm and 5 mm away from the tumor only reaches a maximum of 8.7, and the pH of tissue 10 mm and 20 mm away from the tumor is within the normal physiological range of 7.0 to 7.75. Therefore, the high pH value inside the tumor has little impact on the surrounding tissues, demonstrating excellent safety.

[0317] Example 12: Drug toxicity test of single intramuscular quantitative injection of the composition of the present invention in SD rats and Nu / Nu nude mice This embodiment aims to study the nature, extent, time-dependent relationship, and reversibility of toxic reactions that may be caused by a single intramuscular quantitative injection of the composition of the present invention (samples 1-5) into SD rats and Nu / Nu nude mice, providing a reference for the safety evaluation of the A / B composition drug.

[0318] Group design: SD rat group, Nu / Nu blank rat group, Nu / Nu tumor-bearing rat group; Animal numbers: SD rats: 6 per group, half male and half female; Nu / Nu blank rats: 6 per group, half male and half female; Nu / Nu tumor-bearing rats: 6 per group, half male and half female.

[0319] Grouping method: SD rats, Nu / Nu blank rats, and Nu / Nu tumor-bearing rats were randomly grouped by sex according to their body weight; See Table 17-1 for specific group information.

[0320] Table 17-1 Grouping Information

[0321] Excel software was used for data analysis, and GraphPad Prism 10.1.2 was used for creating statistical charts.

[0322] The composition of the present invention is administered by intramuscular injection of 100 μL into the hind limb of each SD rat according to its body weight; and by intramuscular injection of 5 μL into the hind limb of each Nu / Nu nude mouse according to its body weight. The sterile water for injection used in the control group of this experiment is administered at the same dose as the composition of the present invention.

[0323] To ensure more accurate experimental results, this experiment employed a self-comparison method between the left and right sides of the same body. All experimental groups received an intramuscular injection of sterile water for injection into the left hind limb and an intramuscular injection of the drug composition of this invention into the right hind limb.

[0324] The specific dosage design is shown in Table 17-2.

[0325] Table 17-2 Dosage Design Table

[0326] Route of administration: Intramuscular injection. Dosage frequency: Once a day, observation period of 28 days. Dosage volume: 12 mL / kg. Injection site: Bilateral hind limb muscles of rats or nude mice. Before administration to rats, prepare the skin of the left and right hind limbs to be injected, disinfect with 75% alcohol, and administer the drug. The day of administration is defined as day 0 of the experiment.

[0327] General observation: Observe once immediately after administration and once 2 hours later; observe once on days 0 (before and immediately after administration), 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, and 15 of the experiment. Observation indicators or contents: including but not limited to the physical signs of rats or nude mice, injection site, general behavior, mental state, glandular secretion, respiratory status, fecal characteristics, genitals, death, and other toxic manifestations.

[0328] Body weight was measured once each on days 0 (before and immediately after drug administration), 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, and 15 of the experiment. Animals used in the study: all surviving rats or Nu / Nu nude mice.

[0329] Hematological testing time: before and immediately after administration of experimental drugs; tested animals: surviving rats; blood collection method: rats in each group were anesthetized with isoflurane, and then approximately 0.5 mL of blood was collected from the abdominal aorta.

[0330] In general observation, no abnormal reactions were observed in the left hind limbs of all test animals in the SD rat group, Nu / Nu blank rat group, and Nu / Nu tumor-bearing rat group after intramuscular injection of sterile water for injection.

[0331] All SD rats showed no abnormalities in right hindlimb movement before administration. 30 minutes after injection of 100 μL of the composition of the present invention into the right hindlimb, only female rat 3 showed slight lameness, which returned to normal on the 3rd day after administration. No serious or irreversible motor impairment was observed. The other rats showed normal right hindlimb movement during the observation period, with no lameness, weakness or other motor abnormalities.

[0332] Before administration, both Nu / Nu blank mice and Nu / Nu tumor-bearing mice showed no abnormalities in right hind limb movement. Immediately after administration, a few mice exhibited mild local reactions such as hind limb lameness and weakness. On day 1 post-administration, most mice were in normal condition, with a few individuals showing hind limb weakness or mild lameness. On day 2 post-administration, some mice showed local reactions such as hind limb weakness, swelling, crusting, or mild lameness. On day 3 post-administration, only two mice in both experimental groups showed mild lameness, but these were all mild manifestations. No serious systemic adverse reactions or deaths occurred during the observation period, and there was no significant difference between the two groups. See Tables 17-3, 17-4, and 17-5 below for specific results.

[0333] Table 17-3 Summary of observations on the effects of intramuscular injection of the drug composition of the present invention on SD rats

[0334] Table 17-4 Summary of observations on the effects of intramuscular injection of the drug composition of the present invention on Nu / Nu blank mice

[0335] Table 17-5 Summary of observations on the effects of intramuscular injection of the drug composition of the present invention on Nu / Nu tumor-bearing mice

[0336] After intramuscular administration to the hind limbs of SD rats, the body weight changes over three consecutive days showed that neither male nor female rats experienced a statistically or toxicologically significant sustained decrease in body weight, indicating that the rats under this administration method had good local and systemic tolerance during the observation period.

[0337] For male rats, the weight of the rats after administration showed reversible fluctuations: some rats experienced a slight decrease in weight on the second day after administration, and by the third day all rats showed a recovery trend in weight. The weight change of female rats was generally a positive fluctuation based on normal growth. Therefore, the weight changes of male and female rats within 3 days after administration were within the normal physiological fluctuation range, with no obvious sex differences, and no serious weight suppression or toxic reactions related to administration were observed.

[0338] Following intramuscular administration to the hind limbs of Nu / Nu control mice and Nu / Nu tumor-bearing mice, the body weight showed a sustained and stable upward trend. From before administration to day 1, day 2, and day 3, the mice's body weight increased compared to baseline. Throughout the observation period, no mice experienced weight loss or significant fluctuations, demonstrating that the composition of this invention had no adverse effects on the overall health of the mice, and the animals were in good condition. Specific results are shown in Tables 17-6, 17-7, 17-8, and 17-9 below.

[0339] Table 17-6 Effects of intramuscular injection of the composition of the present invention on body weight of male SD rats

[0342] Table 17-9 Effects of intramuscular injection of the composition of the present invention on body weight in Nu / Nu tumor-bearing mice

[0343] Immediately after administration, compared with pre-administration levels, the main hematological parameters of the six SD rats, including white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), and platelets (PLT), did not show significant changes exceeding the normal physiological fluctuation range. Red blood cell and platelet-related parameters (MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, PDW, MPV, etc.) also remained stable. The experimental results demonstrate that the drug composition of this invention did not cause significant hematological toxicity under this administration method. Specific results are shown in Tables 17-10 and 17-11 below.

[0344] Table 17-10 Effects of intramuscular injection of the composition of the present invention on hematology in male SD rats

[0346] Example 13: Pathological study of tumor and organs after intratumoral injection of the composition of the present invention This embodiment aims to conduct a pathological study of the tumor and organs after intratumoral injection of the composition of the present invention.

[0347] Histological observation of the subcutaneous tumor tissue and surrounding tissue damage at the tumor implantation site from day 1 to day 21 after intratumoral injection of the composition of the present invention (samples 1-5) was conducted. The results showed that: (1) Tumor: After injection of the experimental drug, the active tumor showed pathological processes such as apoptosis and necrosis, and the tumor disappeared in the final section; (2) Fibrous connective tissue around the tumor: The tissue went through the process of acute injury - inflammation outbreak - inflammation subsidence - granulation tissue formation - tissue remodeling, and the injected drug did not have a significant effect on it; (3) There were no obvious damage changes in the rib and intercostal striated muscle tissue; (4) The skin at the injection site went through the process of acute injury - scab formation - epidermal healing and hyperplasia, with a process time of 21 days, which is basically consistent with the physiological repair time of skin lesions in nude mice. This suggests that the experimental drug does not affect the skin healing and repair process; (5) The drug did not produce pathological drug and toxin damage to the five important organs (liver, heart, lung, kidney and spleen) of nude mice.

[0348] Specifically, at 24 hours after administration, no obvious degeneration or necrosis was observed in the tumors of the experimental group. The epidermis around the tumor was thinned, with focal acute skin lesions; some skin appendages atrophied; mild acute inflammation was observed in the dermal fibers, adipose tissue, and deep striated muscle tissue, but no significant changes were seen in the fiber, fat, and striated muscle structures. In the control group (tumors without medication): mild inflammatory reaction was observed in the tissue adjacent to the tumor. See [link to detailed results] for further information. Figure 9A and 9B .

[0349] At 48 hours after administration, the drug showed a killing effect on the tumor (necrosis rate of approximately 15%, within the black circle). The epidermis around the tumor thinned, and skin appendages atrophied; mild hyalinization of dermal fibers and adipose tissue was observed, with no clear acute or chronic inflammatory response; no pathological lesions were observed in the deep fibrous striated muscle tissue structure. The black arrows indicate folds during slide preparation and are not related to the interpretation of experimental results. Control group (tumors without drug administration): No inflammatory response or hyalinization was observed in the tissue adjacent to the tumor. See details for further information. Figure 9C and 9D .

[0350] At 72 hours after administration, the drug showed a killing effect on the tumor (necrosis rate approximately 45%, indicated by the black circle). The epidermis surrounding the tumor thinned, and the skin appendages atrophied; mild hyalinization of the dermal fibers and adipose tissue was observed, with no clear acute or chronic inflammatory response; focal acute suppurative inflammation was observed in the interstitial spaces between the deep fibrous tissue and striated muscle tissue (black boxed area). The black arrows indicate folds during slide preparation and are not related to the interpretation of experimental results. Control group (tumors without drug administration): No inflammatory response or hyalinization was observed in the tissue adjacent to the tumor. See details for further information. Figure 9E and 9F .

[0351] On day 7 of drug administration, epidermal crusts formed in the experimental group, with no tumor tissue observed in the dermis. Granulation tissue (black line area) composed of lymphocytes, neutrophils, plasma cells, proliferating fibroblasts, and immature capillaries was observed in the deep dermis. No pathological lesions were observed in the deep chest wall, intermuscular striated muscle tissue, or pericostal cartilage tissue. In the control group (tumors without drug administration), no inflammatory reaction was observed in the tissue adjacent to the tumor (black line area). See details for further information. Figure 9G and 9H .

[0352] On day 21 of drug administration, the experimental group showed proliferation of the acanthosis and granular layer of the epidermis, with proliferating fibrous tissue and capillaries observed in the dermis, presenting as chronic granulomatous disease; no skin appendages or pathological damage were observed. For detailed results, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9I .

[0353] Furthermore, the pathological evaluation results of tissues and organs from day 1 to day 21 after intratumoral injection of the composition of the present invention are as follows: No significant drug or toxin damage was observed in liver tissue from 24 hours to 21 days after administration. See details below. Figure 10A .

[0354] No significant drug or toxin damage was observed in myocardial tissue from 24 hours to 21 days after administration. See details below. Figure 10B .

[0355] No significant drug or toxin damage was observed in lung tissue from 24 hours to 21 days after administration. See details for further information. Figure 10C .

[0356] No significant drug or toxin damage was observed in the renal tissue from 24 hours to 21 days after administration. See details below. Figure 10D .

[0357] No significant drug or toxin damage was observed in the spleen tissue from 24 hours to 21 days after administration. See details for further information. Figure 10E .

[0358] Example 14: Study on the antitumor activity of the combination of L-ascorbic acid and citric acid This embodiment aims to evaluate the antitumor activity of the samples of the present invention when L-ascorbic acid and citric acid are used in combination. Samples 12-1, 12-2, and 12-3 contain different ratios of L-ascorbic acid and citric acid, respectively. Mice were inoculated with human-derived tumors (tumor volume 100 mm²). 3 -300mm 3 The tumor volume (TV / mm²) in mice was monitored before drug administration and on days 3, 11, and 21 after drug administration. 3 The administration volume is 100µL / 100mm. 3 / time, administration frequency is 1 time. See Table 18 below for specific experimental results.

[0359] Table 18 Antitumor activity of the combination of L-ascorbic acid and citric acid

[0360] As shown in Table 18 above, samples 12-1, 12-2, and 12-3 all resulted in a significant reduction in tumor volume 3 days after intratumoral injection, and no tumors were observed in the experimental mice on days 11 and 21 after administration. These data indicate that, within the scope of this invention, combining L-ascorbic acid and citric acid in different ratios can also achieve excellent antitumor effects.
