Abstract
Description
Device for producing a nanoparticle composition containing a radioactive isotope and method for producing the same
[0001] The present invention relates to a method and a device for producing a nanoparticle composition containing a radioactive isotope, and more particularly, to a method and a device for producing a nanoparticle composition for treating cancer containing a radioactive isotope.
[0002] Radiation therapy is a treatment method that kills cancer cells or reduces the size of tumors. It is broadly divided into external radiation therapy and internal radiation therapy. Internal radiation therapy involves placing radioactive materials (e.g., radioisotopes) around cancer cells and irradiating them.
[0003] Internal radiation therapy is a treatment method that irradiates the body by inserting a therapeutic agent containing a radioactive isotope that generates radiation. To achieve a high therapeutic effect, a large amount of radiation must be delivered to target cells or target organs in the body, while the radiation dose to normal tissues must be minimized.
[0004] To achieve such high therapeutic efficacy, it is crucial to maintain a stable amount of radioactive material or radioisotope within the cancer treatment until it reaches the target cells or organs. In other words, for a high therapeutic effect, after administration, the cancer treatment must be able to reach the target cells or organs without loss of the drug in the bloodstream.
[0005] Existing radiopharmaceuticals consist of a chelator to which a radioisotope is bound, a linker or carrier, and a ligand attached to the linker or carrier.
[0006] Conventional chelator-based radiopharmaceuticals present various problems. Radiopharmaceuticals have high concentrations of metal-binding proteins such as albumin in the bloodstream, so the radioactive metal is lost through binding to serum proteins. This loss can lead to the accumulation of radioactivity in non-target organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys, thereby reducing the amount available for tumor targeting. Furthermore, as the radiopharmaceutical moves through the bloodstream to target cells or target organs, the radioisotope and / or daughter nuclei generated during the nuclear decay of the radioisotope are released. This instability of the radioimmunoconjugate can lead to serious side effects such as bone marrow toxicity and can reduce the therapeutic and imaging efficacy.
[0007] On the other hand, radioactive nanoparticles offer several advantages. They allow the design of radioimmunoconjugates composed of multiple targeting molecules on the nanoparticle surface, enable the internalization of various radioisotopes, and eliminate the need for complex and costly multi-step chelate synthesis procedures. Nanoparticles can reduce radiotoxicity by preventing radioactive metal binding to components such as albumin. Furthermore, because each nanoparticle contains numerous metal atoms, they can serve as carriers for large quantities of low-activity isotopes or isotopes with diverse wavelengths.
[0008] Furthermore, existing radiopharmaceuticals have the problem of causing fatal renal toxicity if the drug is not smoothly excreted from the kidneys after its action. Meanwhile, it is known that the particle size suitable for renal excretion is in the range of 2 nm to 8 nm for solid inorganic particles. If the particle size is smaller than this, the radiopharmaceutical passes through the kidneys too quickly, reducing the drug efficacy. Conversely, if the particle size is larger than this, renal excretion is poor, the radiopharmaceutical can accumulate in the kidneys, and cause renal toxicity.
[0009] Furthermore, existing radiopharmaceuticals using inorganic particles have the problem that, during the manufacturing process, most of the radioisotope attaches to the surface of the inorganic particles, with only a very small amount remaining within the particles themselves. This leads to the majority of radioisotopes separating in unintended locations during drug action in the body, potentially causing fatal organ damage. Furthermore, once the radiopharmaceutical reaches the target organ, it fails to achieve the intended therapeutic effect.
[0010] The present invention provides a method and a manufacturing device for a nanoparticle composition for cancer treatment that prevents a radioactive material placed in the process of reaching a target cell or target organ from being easily released.

For example, the radioisotope (140) may be placed inside the inorganic core (120). In addition, the inorganic core (120) and the radioisotope (140) may be mutually bonded. In addition, the radioisotope (140) may be formed by introducing a general coating method to the interface of the inorganic core (120), or may be formed by introducing a doping method such as a diffusion process or an ion implantation process. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0074] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the inorganic core (120) may further include a metal oxide. Specifically, the metal oxide may form a lattice structure upon aggregation, and the lattice structure of the metal oxide may semi-permanently contain or capture a radioactive isotope (140) or semi-permanently bind to the radioactive isotope (140) to prevent any release of the radioactive isotope (140).
[0075] According to the present invention, the metal oxide may include an impurity including silicon (Si). The impurity including silicon (Si) may stabilize the surface of the nanoparticle (100).
[0076] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the organic shell (160) surrounding the inorganic core (120) may include at least one of an organic polymer or a peptide.

[0077] M inside the weapon core (120) x X y L z
[0078] According to the present invention, the inorganic core (120) has M inside. x X y L z may further include. In some embodiments, M represents a metal element, for example, copper (Cu). In some embodiments, X may be fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), or iodine (I). In some embodiments, L may be an organic ligand comprising any one of nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), and phosphorus (P). In some embodiments, x is an integer from 1 to 6, y is an integer from 1 to 6, and z is an integer from 0 to 6. According to one embodiment, specifically, M x X y L z may be, but is not limited to, CuI.
[0079] According to the present invention, M is a weapon core (120) and M x X y L z can be physically or chemically bonded or linked. In some embodiments, X or L is M x X y L z and radioactive isotopes (140) can be physically or chemically combined or linked.
[0080] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the inorganic core (120) further includes CuI, it is possible to control the ratio of the concentration of the radioisotope (140) included in the inorganic core (120) to the sum of the concentration of the radioisotope (140) included in the inorganic core (120) and the concentration of the radioisotope (140) attached to the surface of the nanoparticle (100) during the manufacturing process.
[0081] According to the present invention, M x X y Lz can be combined or connected with both the weapon core (120) and the radioactive isotope (140). Specifically, M x X y L z can serve to connect the weapon core (120) and the radioactive isotope (140). For example, M x X y L z can be located between the inorganic core (120) and the radioactive isotope (140). During the manufacturing process, the inorganic core (120) is M x X y L z If the inorganic core (120) of the nanoparticle (100) further includes a radioactive isotope (140), the inorganic core (120) of the nanoparticle (100) may further include a radioactive isotope (140). In this way, the drug effect or stability is enhanced. For example, if the inorganic core (120) is M x X y L z When more radioactive isotopes (140) are included, more radioactive isotopes (140) can be bound to the inorganic core (120). In this way, the radiopharmaceutical can emit a large amount of radiation at the target organ, the radiation treatment effect can be maximized, and damage to normal cells can be minimized. According to one embodiment of the present invention, M x X y L z may be, but is not limited to, CuI.
[0082] In some embodiments, the weapon core (120) has M x X y L z It includes a weapon core (120) and M x X y L z Includes physically or chemically bonded or connected. For example, M inside the inorganic core (120) x X y L z can be deployed. For example, the weapon core (120) and M x Xy L z They can be mutually bonded through this hydrogen bond. For example, MxXyLz can be coated on the surface of the inorganic core (120) through a general coating method. For example, MxXyLz can be doped on the surface of the inorganic core (120) through a doping method such as a diffusion process or an ion implantation process. For example, MxXyLz can form a layer and be coated on the surface of the inorganic core (120). However, the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0083] Specifically M x X y L z In this case, CuI, the I of CuI can bind to the inorganic core (120) in one direction and to the radioactive isotope (140) in the other direction. In this case, the radioactive isotope (140) added during the manufacturing process is included in the inorganic core (120). In addition, the radiopharmaceutical can emit a large amount of radiation at the target organ.

Specifically, the peptide may be any one of Somatostatin, Gastrin-releasing-peptide (GRP), Glu-Urea-Lys (GUL), and PSMA-I&T (Glu-Urea-based ligand), but is not limited thereto.
[0087] According to the present invention, a small molecule may refer to a substance composed of a small molecule that can specifically bind to at least one of a specific cell or a substance expressed in a specific cell.

[0090] Organic Shell (160)
[0091] According to the present invention, the organic shell (160) may further include a lipid nanoparticle shell. In this case, the overall diameter of the radiopharmaceutical is within the range of 5 nm to 100 nm, and the radiopharmaceutical can pass through a structure having a diameter of 2 nm to 8 nm. In one embodiment of the present invention, the overall diameter may be a hydrodynamic size.
[0092] Meanwhile, a structure can refer to any shape that has an internal, passable void space and an outer wall surrounding that void space. The diameter of the structure can refer to the diameter of the internal void space. Furthermore, the diameter of the internal void space can vary within a single structure. For example, a structure may include, but is not limited to, a human kidney drainage tract.
[0093] Meanwhile, the hydrodynamic diameter, which is an aspect of the total diameter used in this document, refers to the size of a virtual sphere that is assumed to diffuse in the same manner as the particle whose diameter is to be measured. For example, the hydrodynamic diameter, which is an example of the total diameter of a radiopharmaceutical utilizing a nanoparticle (100), may refer to the diameter of the particle that takes into account all of the inorganic core (120) of the nanoparticle (100), the organic shell (160) surrounding the inorganic core (120), and the targeting ligand (180) attached to the organic shell (160).
[0094] According to one embodiment of the present invention, even though the overall diameter of the nanoparticle (100) is 5 nm to 100 nm, which is larger than the diameter of the renal excretory passage (2 nm to 8 nm), the nanoparticle (100) can pass through a structure having a diameter ranging from 2 nm to 8 nm corresponding to the renal excretory passage.
[0095] That is, the radiopharmaceutical utilizing nanoparticles (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention can prevent excessively rapid renal excretion since the overall diameter is larger than the diameter of the renal excretion passage. In addition, the radiopharmaceutical utilizing nanoparticles (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention can pass through the renal excretion passage having a diameter smaller than the overall diameter of the radiopharmaceutical utilizing nanoparticles (100) due to the elasticity or flexibility of the organic shell (160) surrounding the inorganic core (120). Accordingly, the radiopharmaceutical may not accumulate in the body.

[0221] The hydrate radius was measured in a single-step and multi-step coating process using a particle size analyzer in an aqueous solution. The target ligand (180) bound to the nanoparticle (100) was quantified using an ELISA kit. The results are shown in [Table 6].
[0222] In [Table 6], the dynamic light scattering particle size analyzer (DLS) size (nm, int) in the first column of the results indicates the hydrate radius of the nanoparticle (100). The target ligand (180) / nanoparticle (100) ratio (ELISA kit quantitative) in the second column of the results indicates the ratio between the coated nanoparticle (100) and the target ligand (180) that is not attached to the nanoparticle (100). A higher target ligand (180) / nanoparticle (100) ratio (ELISA kit quantitative) may mean that the amount of the target ligand added during the process of coating the nanoparticle (100) is greater.

[0224] [Table 6] shows that in the case of multi-step coating, the dynamic light scattering particle size analyzer (DLS) size (nm, int) showed minimal change even when the target ligand (180) / nanoparticle (100) ratio (quantitative ELISA kit) increased. This means that even if the amount of target ligand (100) added increased, the amount of target ligand (180) attached per unit nanoparticle (100) did not change significantly. In other words, it was confirmed that the distribution between nanoparticles (100) and target ligands (180) was uniform.

[0245] By comparing the radioisotope (140) bound to the inorganic core (120) containing iron oxide and the free radioisotope, the degree of binding between the inorganic core (120) and the radioisotope was confirmed. Through the graph of Fig. 12, it was confirmed that the radioisotope (140) bound to the inorganic core (120) is not separated from the inorganic core (120) and follows a different pattern (Rf value) from the free radioisotope.
