The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, relates to a
photosensitizer-chemotherapeutic
drug '
photosensitizer-chemotherapeutic integration' micromolecule
prodrug, and aims to connecta chemotherapeutic
drug with a
photosensitizer through ester bonds or mono-
thioether bonds to achieve efficient co-carrying and synchronous delivery of the chemotherapeutic
drug and the photosensitizer. The photosensitizer-chemotherapeutic drug is prepared from
paclitaxel as a chemotherapeutic drug and coked phaeophytin a as a photosensitizer, a self-assembled nano
medicine delivery system is alsoprepared, and synergetic
medicine release, in-vivo
pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor effects of the drug are evaluated. The predrug is simple in preparation process, small and uniform in
nanoparticle size, beneficial to enrichment of nanoparticles at tumor parts through an EPR (Enhanced Permeability and Retention) effect, super large in drug loading capacity and easy in
surface modification, and reticuloendothelial
system uptaking can be effectively avoided, in addition, uptaking of
tumor cells upon the nanoparticles can be effectively improved; while photodynamic treatment is carried out, selective release of medicines can be synergistically triggered in
tumor cells; by adopting the 'photosensitizer-chemotherapeutic integration' micromolecule
prodrug self-assembled
nano drug delivery system designed by the invention, the synergetic anti-tumor effects of the photosensitizer and the chemotherapeutic drug can be remarkably improved.
