The invention discloses a nano-
drug for promoting cupric death of
tumor cells and a preparation method of the nano-
drug. The nano-
drug comprises
hyaluronic acid; a
dopamine;
copper ions; a
diethyldithiocarbamic acid-
copper conjugate; and a method for preparing the same.
A peptide fragment with a targeting function; modifying a
thiol ligand; the preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a diethyl dithiocarbamic acid-
copper conjugate, forming a nano-structure inner core, wrapping the conjugate, forming a copper
ion protection layer, and purifying and carrying out
targeted modification on a nano-drug. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: preparing the diethyl dithiocarbamic acid-copper conjugate, forming a nano-structure inner core, wrapping the conjugate, forming a copper
ion protection layer, and carrying out
targeted modification on the nano-drug. The copper ions are further fixed through the coordination effect of
dopamine and the copper ions, wrapping of the diethyl dithiocarbamic acid-copper conjugate and the
thiol-copper coordination effect of the modified
thiol ligands, so that a double-coordination mechanism is formed, the loading capacity of the copper ions in the nano-drug is remarkably improved, and the stability of the nano-drug is improved. The copper death of
tumor cells can be more effectively triggered, the copper
ion loading capacity can be improved, and a material basis is provided for the efficient copper death effect.
