Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the fields of chemistry and biomedicine, specifically to an enzazomi nanoparticle, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a highly aggressive malignant tumor originating from the bile duct epithelium, accounting for 10-20% of primary liver cancers and 20-30% of cholangiocarcinomas. iCCA has an insidious onset and rapid progression; most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, resulting in a 5-year overall survival rate of only 7-20%. Surgical resection can potentially eradicate iCCA, but patients are highly likely to miss the optimal window for surgical treatment. Although some progress has been made in precision chemotherapy (such as using FGFR2 and IDH1 inhibitors), the clinical outcomes of these treatments are limited. Therefore, new treatment strategies are urgently needed to enhance the anti-tumor efficacy against iCCA.

[0003] The proteasome is a core regulatory complex involved in intracellular protein degradation, selectively removing abnormal or excess proteins through multiple catalytically active subunits. Proteasome inhibitors developed based on this mechanism have become important therapeutic tools for hematologic malignancies such as multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. Bortezomib was the first proteasome inhibitor approved by the FDA in 2003, followed by esazomib (IXZ) and other compounds that have gradually entered clinical trials. However, their widespread use in oncology is severely limited by low bioavailability, systemic toxicity due to nonspecific distribution (e.g., hematologic toxicity and neuropathy), and lack of stability in the tumor microenvironment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the limitations of proteasome inhibitors such as bortezomib and esazomib in oncology, this application provides esazomib nanoparticles, their preparation method, and their applications.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a method for preparing an isazomib derivative, employing the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing an isazomib derivative includes the following steps:

[0007] Activation: N-hydroxysuccinimide, unsaturated fatty acid, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide were mixed, dissolved in dichloromethane, heated and reacted, and then purified after cooling to obtain activated unsaturated fatty acid;

[0008] Synthetic excipients: Dopamine hydrochloride, activated unsaturated fatty acids and diisopropylethylamine are mixed and dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide. The mixture is heated and reacted under inert gas protection, followed by rotary evaporation. The product is dissolved in dichloromethane, then washed, dried and purified to obtain the dopamine derivative.

[0009] Preparation: Dopamine derivative and esazolidinium were mixed, dissolved in pyridine, and heated under inert gas protection. The mixture was then dried by rotary evaporation to obtain the esazolidinium derivative.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the above preparation method employs a three-step stepwise synthesis strategy, which has the following significant advantages:

[0011] First, the unsaturated fatty acids are activated to convert their carboxyl groups into activated esters, thereby increasing their reactivity with the amino groups in dopamine hydrochloride, avoiding side reactions, and improving coupling efficiency. The activation step uses an EDC and DMAP catalytic system, which enables efficient activation under mild conditions. The activated fatty acids obtained after purification exhibit good stability, facilitating subsequent reactions.

[0012] Secondly, activated fatty acids were reacted with dopamine hydrochloride to synthesize dopamine derivatives. The dopamine molecule contains both a catechol group and an amino group. The amino group undergoes an amidation reaction with the activated fatty acid, forming a stable amide bond; the catechol group retains its ability to form a dynamic covalent catechol-boronic acid ester bond with the boric acid group. This design allows dopamine to act as a bridge connecting fatty acids and isazorimi, ensuring both the stability of the connection and preserving the site for the formation of dynamic, reversible bonds.

[0013] Finally, the dopamine derivative was reacted with esazolidinium, utilizing the dynamic covalent catechol-boronic acid ester bond formed between the alkyl borate group in the esazolidinium molecule and the catechol group in the dopamine derivative to complete the construction of the entire derivative. This dynamic bond is stable at physiological pH and can be broken in the acidic tumor microenvironment, enabling controlled drug release.

[0014] In summary, the core advantages of this method are: (1) stepwise synthesis, easy purification and characterization of intermediate products, and high product purity; (2) introduction of dynamic covalent bonds to achieve reversible "lipid anchoring" of drugs, which can both self-assemble into nanoparticles and release active drugs in response at the tumor site; (3) avoidance of the disadvantages of traditional ester bonds or amide bonds being difficult to break, and improvement of the activation efficiency of prodrugs.

[0015] Preferably, the unsaturated fatty acid includes at least one of oleic acid, linoleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid.

[0016] Preferably, the unsaturated fatty acid is oleic acid.

[0017] By employing the above-mentioned technical solution, oleic acid, a monounsaturated C18 fatty acid, possesses a moderate carbon chain length and a single double bond structure that provides the derivative with an optimal hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance. Compared to polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA, DHA), oleic acid is less prone to lipid peroxidation, providing a more stable hydrophobic core in nanoassemblies. Compared to linoleic acid, the single double bond in oleic acid avoids conformational distortion induced by additional double bonds, thereby enhancing the co-assembly efficiency with DSPE-PEG2000 and forming nanoparticles with more uniform particle size and higher colloidal stability. Therefore, oleic acid is a key structural choice for achieving efficient drug loading and tumor-specific release in "lipid anchoring" strategies.

[0018] Secondly, this application provides an isazomib derivative, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0019] An isazomib derivative prepared by the above-mentioned isazomib derivative preparation method.

[0020] The structural formulas of the isazomib derivatives include those shown in formulas I-IV:

[0021] Formula I;

[0022] Formula II;

[0023] Formula III;

[0024] Formula IV.

[0025] Thirdly, this application provides a method for preparing isazomib nanoparticles, using the following technical solution:

[0026] A method for preparing isazomi nanoparticles includes the following steps:

[0027] Mixing: The above-mentioned isazomib derivative and DSPE-PEG2000 were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide to obtain a mixture;

[0028] Injection: The mixture is injected into water to obtain esazomi nanoparticles.

[0029] By employing the above technical solution, the esazolidinyl derivative structure contains hydrophobic long chains and hydrophilic catechol-boron ester bond regions, exhibiting typical amphiphilicity. When the DMSO mixture is injected into water, the solvent polarity increases sharply, and the amphiphilic molecules spontaneously assemble into a core-shell structure through hydrophobic interactions and π-π stacking: DHA chains form the hydrophobic core, while catechol-boron ester bonds and PEG chains are distributed on the surface. DSPE-PEG2000 is further embedded in the lipid layer, and its PEG chains form a hydration layer, providing steric stabilization to prevent particle aggregation, thereby improving colloidal stability.

[0030] Nanoparticles are well-suited for passive targeting through the windows of tumor angiogenesis, while avoiding rapid renal clearance, thus enhancing tumor targeting and retention. Free esazolidinone, due to its non-specific distribution, leads to hematologic toxicity (leukopenia, erythrocyte reduction, thrombocytopenia), hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and neuropathy. After encapsulation with nanoparticles, the drug primarily accumulates in the tumor, reducing exposure to healthy organs. The nanoparticles link the drug via dynamic catechol-boron ester bonds, exhibiting instability in the acidic tumor microenvironment (pH 6.5-6.8), releasing active esazolidinone; however, it remains stable at the normal physiological pH of 7.4. This "anchor-release" mechanism achieves tumor-specific activation and reduces off-target effects. Nanoparticle-delivered esazolidinone more effectively induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial ROS production, thereby triggering CRT exposure, HMGB1 release, and ATP secretion, activating an anti-tumor immune response—a synergistic effect difficult to achieve with free drugs.

[0031] Fourthly, this application provides an isazomi nanoparticle, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0032] An esazolidone nanoparticle is prepared by the above-described method for preparing esazolidone nanoparticles.

[0033] Fifthly, this application provides an application of isazomib nanoparticles, employing the following technical solution:

[0034] One application of isazomib nanoparticles refers to their use in the treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

[0035] By employing the above-mentioned technical approach, proteasome inhibitors are effective candidate drugs for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cell lines, exhibiting high inhibition rates. Esazomib nanoparticles demonstrated stronger cytotoxicity, colony formation inhibition, G2 / M phase arrest, and apoptosis induction in vitro against CCLP1 and RBE cells, with effects superior to free esazomib.

[0036] Esazomib nanoparticles release esazomib, which selectively inhibits 20S proteasome activity, leading to the accumulation of misfolded proteins and the formation of aggregates. This protein accumulation triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, manifested as upregulation of GRP78, CHOP, and phosphorylated IRE1, as well as ER morphological swelling, which in turn upregulates the DR5 receptor and initiates the extrinsic apoptosis pathway. ER stress intersects with mitochondrial function, resulting in the excessive production of mitochondrial superoxide, further amplifying cell damage.

[0037] Damaged tumor cells release ATP, expose CRT, and translocate intranuclear HMGB1 to the cytoplasm and extracellular space. These danger signals can activate antigen-presenting cells and induce anti-tumor immune responses, which is of breakthrough significance for the immunosuppressive intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma microenvironment.

[0038] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0039] Esazomib nanoparticles link the drug via dynamic catechol-boron ester bonds. These bonds are unstable in the acidic tumor microenvironment (pH 6.5-6.8), releasing active esazomib; however, they remain stable at the normal physiological pH of 7.4. This "anchor-release" mechanism achieves tumor-specific activation and reduces off-target effects. Esazomib delivered by nanoparticles more effectively induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial ROS production, thereby triggering CRT exposure, HMGB1 release, and ATP secretion, activating an anti-tumor immune response—a synergistic effect that is difficult to achieve with free drugs.

[0099] Comparative Examples 1-2

[0100] Comparative Example 1 modifies the preparation method of Example 1 as follows:

[0101] An application of free IXZ includes the following steps:

[0102] The application was performed in seven preclinical mouse models carrying subcutaneous CCLP1 tumors, when the tumor volume reached approximately 100 mm. 3 At that time, the free IXZ solution (corresponding to an esazolamide dose of 2 mg / kg) was administered intravenously once every 3 days for a total of four intravenous injections.

[0103] Comparative Example 2 is based on the preparation method of Example 1, but the method is adjusted as follows:

[0104] The application of a saline solution includes the following steps:

[0105] The application was performed in seven preclinical mouse models carrying subcutaneous CCLP1 tumors, when the tumor volume reached approximately 100 mm. 3 At that time, normal saline was injected intravenously once every 3 days, for a total of 4 intravenous injections.

[0106] Performance testing

[0107] 1. To detect the tumor volume and survival status of the experimental mice in the examples and comparative examples.

[0108] Table 1 Performance test results of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0109] <![CDATA[CCLP1 tumor volume at 20 days / mm 3 > 574 599 732 891 884 1095 Maximum survival days in CCLP1 tumor mice >40 >40 38 40 38 34

[0110] Referring to Table 1, comparing Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2, it can be seen that tumors shrank in Examples 1 and 2, while Comparative Example 1 failed to stop tumor growth (see Table 1). Figure 1Tumor growth kinetics monitored every few days further supported this result, with no significant difference in tumor growth curves between Examples 3-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2. At low doses, Examples 1-2 both demonstrated excellent therapeutic effects (see...). Figure 2 The survival curves of mice also demonstrate this (see...). Figure 3 ).

[0111] Comparative Examples 1-4 and 1-2 show that the esazolidinyl nanoparticles prepared using the above method exhibit better performance. This is because the esazolidinyl derivative structure contains hydrophobic long chains and hydrophilic catechol-boron ester bond regions, exhibiting typical amphiphilicity. When the DMSO mixture is injected into water, the solvent polarity increases sharply, and the amphiphilic molecules spontaneously assemble into a core-shell structure through hydrophobic interactions and π-π stacking: DHA chains form the hydrophobic core, while catechol-boron ester bonds and PEG chains are distributed on the surface. DSPE-PEG2000 is further embedded in the lipid layer, and its PEG chains form a hydration layer, providing steric stabilization to prevent particle aggregation, thereby improving colloidal stability.

[0112] Nanoparticles are well-suited for passive targeting through the windows of tumor angiogenesis, while avoiding rapid renal clearance, thus enhancing tumor targeting and retention. Free esazolidinone, due to its non-specific distribution, leads to hematologic toxicity (leukopenia, erythrocyte reduction, thrombocytopenia), hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and neuropathy. After encapsulation with nanoparticles, the drug primarily accumulates in the tumor, reducing exposure to healthy organs. The nanoparticles link the drug via dynamic catechol-boron ester bonds, exhibiting instability in the acidic tumor microenvironment (pH 6.5-6.8), releasing active esazolidinone; however, it remains stable at the normal physiological pH of 7.4. This "anchor-release" mechanism achieves tumor-specific activation and reduces off-target effects. Nanoparticle-delivered esazolidinone more effectively induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial ROS production, thereby triggering CRT exposure, HMGB1 release, and ATP secretion, activating an anti-tumor immune response—a synergistic effect difficult to achieve with free drugs.

[0119] An application of free IXZ includes the following steps:

[0120] A PDX tumor mouse model was resuscitated from a patient diagnosed with iCCA and applied in five PDX tumor mouse models when the tumor volume reached approximately 50 mm. 3 At that time, the free IXZ solution (corresponding to the esazolidone dose of 8 mg / kg) was injected intravenously once every 3 days, for a total of three intravenous injections.

[0122] The application of a saline solution includes the following steps:

[0123] A PDX tumor mouse model was resuscitated from a patient diagnosed with iCCA and applied in five PDX tumor mouse models when the tumor volume reached approximately 50 mm. 3 At that time, normal saline was injected intravenously once every 3 days, for a total of 3 intravenous injections.

[0124] The performance tests of Example 5 and Comparative Examples 3-4 were performed as described above, and the test results are shown in Table 2.

[0144] Referring to Table 3, a comparison between Example 6 and Comparative Examples 5-6 shows that Example 6 exhibited a good tumor-suppressive effect in the early stage of drug administration, delaying the trend of increased tumor bioluminescence signal (see Table 3). Figure 6 and Figure 7 Furthermore, at the monitoring endpoint (40 days), tumor-bearing liver samples were removed, and the results confirmed that the in vivo bioluminescence results were consistent with the luminescence signal performance in each group (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 7 The resected liver samples were subjected to weight analysis, i.e., tumor weight compared to the weight of a healthy liver, to provide feedback on the actual tumor burden in each group of mice at the monitoring endpoint. Compared with the saline and IXZ treatment groups, the PiNB-1 group had the lowest tumor burden, with the total liver weight almost indistinguishable from that of healthy mice (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 8).

[0145] Comparative Examples 5-6 and 3-6 demonstrate that esazolidinyl nanoparticles can be used to treat intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. This is because proteasome inhibitors are effective candidate drugs in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cell lines, exhibiting high inhibition rates. Esazolidinyl nanoparticles demonstrate stronger cytotoxicity, colony formation inhibition, G2 / M phase arrest, and apoptosis induction in vitro against CCLP1 and RBE cells, with effects superior to free esazolidinyl.

[0146] Esazomib nanoparticles release esazomib, which selectively inhibits 20S proteasome activity, leading to the accumulation of misfolded proteins and the formation of aggregates. This protein accumulation triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, manifested as upregulation of GRP78, CHOP, and phosphorylated IRE1, as well as ER morphological swelling, which in turn upregulates the DR5 receptor and initiates the extrinsic apoptosis pathway. ER stress intersects with mitochondrial function, resulting in the excessive production of mitochondrial superoxide, further amplifying cell damage.

[0147] Damaged tumor cells release ATP, expose CRT, and translocate intranuclear HMGB1 to the cytoplasm and extracellular space. These danger signals can activate antigen-presenting cells and induce anti-tumor immune responses, which is of breakthrough significance for the immunosuppressive intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma microenvironment.

[0148] Example 7

[0149] Example 7 is based on the preparation method of Example 1, but the method is adjusted as follows:

[0150] An application of isazomizomi nanoparticle-1 includes the following steps:

[0151] The study was conducted in 5 normal mice. The mice were intravenously injected with esazoli nanoparticle-1 (corresponding to an esazoli dose of 12 mg / kg) every 3 days for a total of 4 intravenous injections.

[0152] Comparative Examples 7-8

[0153] Comparative Example 7 modifies the preparation method of Example 1 as follows:

[0154] An application of free IXZ includes the following steps:

[0155] The drug was administered to five normal mice by intravenous injection of free IXZ solution (corresponding to an esazolamide dose of 12 mg / kg) every three days for a total of four intravenous injections.

[0156] Comparative Example 8 modifies the preparation method of Example 1 as follows:

[0157] The application of a saline solution includes the following steps:

[0158] The drug was administered to five normal mice by intravenous injection of saline solution every three days for a total of four injections.

[0159] Cell activity was verified using the esazomi nanoparticles-1 in Example 7.

[0160] Cell viability was verified in the free IXZ in Example 7.

[0161] Cell viability was verified using the saline solution in Example 8.

[0162] Performance testing

[0163] 3. Detect the body weight of the experimental mice in the examples and comparative examples.

[0164] 4. The activities of esazoli nanoparticle-1, free IXZ and physiological saline on CCLP1 and RBE cell lines were evaluated using the CCK-8 assay.

[0165] Table 4 Performance test results for Examples 7 and Comparative Examples 7-8

[0166] Body weight / g at 9 days 28.78 25.65 33.73 CCLP1 cell percentage / % 21.89 44.78 100 RBE cell percentage / % 30.23 39.55 100

[0167] Referring to Table 4, comparing Example 7 and Comparative Examples 7-8, it can be seen that after administration, Comparative Example 7 showed a significant decrease in body weight. In contrast, Example 7 showed better weight loss, falling between the other two groups (see Table 4). Figure 9 ).

[0168] Both PiNB-1 and free IXZ treatments significantly reduced the colony-forming ability of both cell lines, with PiNB-1 showing a more pronounced inhibitory effect in CCLP1 (see [link to treatment]). Figure 10 ).

[0169] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of this application and is not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
