Abstract
Description
Polymers that can be assembled with protein and hydrophobic small molecule drugs and their preparation methods Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical materials technology, specifically relating to a polymer that can be assembled with protein and hydrophobic small molecule drugs and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] According to the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Liver Cancer (2022 Edition)," the currently recommended first-line drugs for the treatment of primary liver cancer include atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab, sintilimab combined with bevacizumab, donafenib, lenvatinib, sorafenib, and oxaliplatin. Currently, drug-eluting microsphere arterial chemoembolization (D-TACE) can load chemotherapy drugs to embolize tumor vessels, and simultaneously treat the tumor through the continuous release of chemotherapy drugs.
[0003] Currently, besides oxaliplatin, a chemotherapy drug, other first-line drugs for the clinical treatment of primary liver cancer include sorafenib, lenvatinib, donafenib, bevacizumab, atezolizumab, and sintilimab, which are all targeted and immune checkpoint inhibitors. First- and second-line targeted drugs, due to their poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and toxic side effects, cause considerable harm to patients during clinical treatment. First- and second-line immune checkpoint inhibitors can induce varying degrees of immune-related adverse reactions in patients' lungs, liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal system, endocrine system, and skin. Therefore, physically targeting these drugs to release them at the tumor site can effectively reduce excessive drug circulation in the bloodstream and decrease toxic side effects, while also effectively improving drug utilization at the tumor site. Currently, the clinically used drug-eluting microsphere arterial chemoembolization (D-TACE) combines chemotherapy drugs with embolizing microspheres, which are then filled into the tumor vessels through embolization, thereby continuously releasing the drug at the tumor site. However, the hydrophobic properties of targeted drugs and the macromolecular properties of immunosuppressant drugs mean that neither of these types of drugs can be loaded onto drug-loaded embolized microspheres currently available on the market. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this invention proposes a polymer that can be assembled with protein-based and hydrophobic small molecule drugs, and its preparation method. The aim is to enable the degradable multi-block polymer to combine with hydrophobic small molecule targeted drugs or macromolecular immunotherapeutic and targeted drugs through host-guest self-assembly, so that existing drug-loaded microspheres can effectively load small molecule targeted drugs, macromolecular targeted drugs, and macromolecular immunotherapeutic drugs.

[0051] The biblock polymer prepared using the method of this invention can be assembled with hydrophobic small molecules and protein drugs. For hydrophobic small molecule drugs such as sorafenib and lenvatinib, both the biblock polymer and the hydrophobic small molecule drug are dissolved in DMSO solution. When water is added to the system, the insoluble drug rapidly assembles with the cavity-containing molecules in the biblock polymer, resulting in hydrophobic blocks in the assembled product. Through interaction with cationic blocks, vesicle structures are ultimately formed in the aqueous solution. The outer layer of the vesicle structure has a large number of hydrophilic amino cations, which interact with the negatively charged sulfonic acid groups on the microsphere polymer backbone, enabling the microspheres to load hydrophobic small molecule drugs such as sorafenib and lenvatinib.
[0052] For water-soluble protein drugs such as atezolizumab, biblock polymers attach to the protein surface in aqueous solution through multiple cavities in cyclodextrin-containing blocks, forming a layer of biblock polymer on the protein molecule surface. The cationic groups in the polymer interact with the negatively charged sulfonic acid groups on the microsphere polymer backbone, enabling the microspheres to load protein drugs such as atezolizumab.

[0220] As can be seen from the above test examples, compared with the comparative examples, the biblock polymers A1-A86 and A88-A173 prepared using the examples, which can be assembled with hydrophobic small molecule and protein drugs, can effectively load small molecule targeted drugs, large molecule targeted drugs, and large molecule immunotherapies through host-guest self-assembly with hydrophobic small molecule targeted drugs and large molecule immunotherapies via existing drug-loaded microspheres such as Callispheres and DCBead. The reason for this is:
[0221] For hydrophobic small molecule drugs such as sorafenib and lenvatinib, both the biblock polymer and the hydrophobic small molecule drug prepared in this invention are in a dissolved state in DMSO solution. When water is added to the system, the insoluble drug rapidly assembles with the cavity-containing molecules in the biblock polymer, resulting in hydrophobic blocks in the assembled structure. Through interaction with cationic blocks, vesicle structures are ultimately formed in the aqueous solution. The outer layer of the vesicle structure has a large number of hydrophilic amino cations, which interact with the negatively charged sulfonic acid groups on the microsphere polymer backbone, enabling the microspheres to load hydrophobic small molecule drugs such as sorafenib and lenvatinib.
[0222] For water-soluble protein drugs such as atezolizumab, biblock polymers attach to the protein surface in aqueous solution through multiple cavities in cyclodextrin-containing blocks, forming a layer of biblock polymer on the protein molecule surface. The cationic groups in the polymer interact with the negatively charged sulfonic acid groups on the microsphere polymer backbone, enabling the microspheres to load protein drugs such as atezolizumab.
[0223] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0224] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
