A kind of stable polymer micelle medicine carrying system
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of stable mixed polymer micelle medicine carrying system and preparation thereof.
Background technology:
Polymer micelle is the drug-loading system at insoluble drug that development in recent years is got up, and has nuclear-shell-like structure, and its center is a hydrophobic parts, and shell is a hydrophilic parts.Polymer micelle can be wrapped in insoluble drug examines the solubilising that partly reaches insoluble drug.Comparing with cosolvent with solubilizing agent commonly used, is material because medicine carrying system of polymer micelle is selected Biodegradable material, and its safety is higher.
It is material that drug-carrying polymer micelle is often selected the biological degradability amphiphilic macromolecule, this class amphipathic nature polyalcohol can be diblock thing A-B type or three block thing A-B-A, the B-A-B type, its structure is seen list of references Torchilin, V.P., Structure and design of polymeric surfactant-based drug deliverysystems.J Control Release, 2001.73 (2-3): p.137-72. to have critical micelle concentration (CMC) lower for block copolymer, the characteristics that drug loading is higher, hydrophilic segment (shell) Polyethylene Glycol often wherein, polyvidone etc., lipophilic portion is polyester often, as oxypropylene, lactic acid, L-lysine, aspartic acid, β-benzoyl-L-aspartate, γ-benzyl-L-glutamate, ketone in oneself, the polymer of spermine.The hydrophilic shell part of polymer micelle can be hidden reticuloendothelial system RES and the huge removing of sneering cell system MPS of monokaryon, give the long cycle performance of polymer micelle, and low particle diameter (being generally less than 100nm) can strengthen the vascular system of blood vessel infiltration supply cancer and cause the easier delay tumor of material, be high-permeability and high anelasticity (the enhanced permeation and retention that Maeda etc. proposes, EPR), give the targeting of polymer micelle to tumor.
Normal direct water dissolution, the dialysis of adopting of straight polymer micelle prepares.This depends primarily on the dissolubility of polymer in water, and the polymer of good water solubility can directly be dissolved in water under room temperature or the high temperature when concentration is higher than CMC, forms the micellar solution of transparent clarification (or slightly light blue opalescence); The polymer of poorly water-soluble then need be dissolved in earlier in the mixed solution that is formed by water and organic solvent, and organic solvent is removed in dialysis again, makes micelle.
In the drug-carrying polymer micelle preparation process, the embedding of medicine is relevant with the character of micelle, medicine.Because hydrophobic interaction is the main drive of medicament solubilization, thereby the micelle hydrophobic chain increases and the enhancing of medicine hydrophobicity all can make micellar drug loading rise; But long hydrophobic chain can make the micelle particle diameter become big, is easily destroyed by reticuloendothelial system, reduces micelle stability.
The preparation method of drug-carrying polymer micelle generally has following several:
1, physically trapping method: this is the most frequently used method, comprises dialysis and oil/water-intra-liquid desiccation method.Preceding method is that medicine and polymer are dissolved in a kind of organic solvent, and the dialysis of reuse water is removed organic solvent fully, and the shortcoming of this method is medicine and the fractional precipitation of micelle meeting generating unit, has influenced medicine amount of wrapping into and medicine carrying efficient.Back method is that the medicine that will be dissolved in organic solvent dropwise adds in the micellar aqueous solution, and organic solvent is removed in volatilization makes medicine enter the micelle kernel.
2, chemical bond method: utilize the hydrophobic chain functional group of drug molecule and polymer that chemical reaction takes place under certain condition, the medicine covalent bonding on polymer, is prepared with direct dissolution method or dialysis then.Utilize the amino of amycin and carboxyl generation condensation reaction under coupling agent 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino-propyl) carbodiimide (EDC) effect of PEG-aspartate copolymer to make micelle such as [11] such as Yokoyama.
3, electrostatic interaction method: utilize the polymer micelle hydrophobic region of medicine and oppositely charged to combine closely, make micelle by electrostatic force.This method is made simple, and the gained micelle is stable, satisfies but condition is difficult, uses few.
4, gel-redissolution method: this method beginning sees the report of Canadian X.Zhang, and (document Zhang sees reference, X., et al., Anti-tumor efficacy and biodistribution of intravenouspolymeric micellar paclitaxel.Anticancer Drugs, 1997.8 (7): p.696-701.), soon medicine, block copolymer are dissolved in organic solvent, under rotary evaporation, remove organic solvent, can obtain gelling material, add the water redissolution and can directly prepare drug-carrying polymer micelle.
5, emulsifying-solvent evaporated method: soon block copolymer, medicine are dissolved in the polar solvent, and polar solvent comprises acetonitrile, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxine (DMSO), dimethyl formamide, methanol etc.Under agitation slowly drip water and make into the W/O microemulsion, the phase volume ratio of oil phase and water is usually greater than 50/50 at this moment.Under agitation further splash into the water of capacity, make the variation generation inversion of phases of microemulsion because of phase volume ratio, generate the O/W microemulsion, the phase volume ratio of oil phase and water is usually less than 50/50 at this moment.About 60 ℃, boil off organic solvent under the vacuum condition and get the carrier micelle system.Look stability of drug further filtration sterilization or pressure sterilizing for injection.(mPEG-PDLLA (mPEG-PDLLA) micelle sees reference document Zhang by Canadian X.Zhang report the earliest, X., et al., Anti-tumor efficacy andbiodistribution of intravenous polymeric micellar paclitaxel.AnticancerDrugs, 1997.8 (7): p.696-701.), because its ideal property of solubilizing and EPR behavior have attracted extensive concern, and apply for a patent US5877205 and US5922754.Document Yamamoto sees reference, Y., etal., Long-circulating poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (D, L-lactide) blockcopolymer micelles with modulated surface charge.J Control Release, 2001.77 (1-2): p.27-38.Samyang the Genexol PM of company is to be the paclitaxel polymer of material with mPEG-PDLLA, external better with the intravital biocompatibility of animal, do not see overt toxicity, the experiment that distributes in the paclitaxel isotope body shows, micelle dissociates rapidly after entering in the body, discharges medicine, and polymer can be degraded in 15 hours in vivo.Document Kim sees reference, S.C., et al., In vi vo evaluation ofpolymeric micellar paclitaxel formulation:toxicity and efficacy.JControl Release, 2001.72 (1-3): p.191-202, Genexol PM entered clinical research in 2002 by the FDA approval.
Yet the drug loading and the stability of existing drug-carrying polymer micelle are not high, and general drug loading has only 30%, the polymer micelle less stable after the aqueous dispersion, and medicine is easily revealed, and its physical stability is not high still to influence its further popularization.
With the paclitaxel is that example is when adopting mPEG-PDLLA 55/45 (X/Y, X are the quality of PEG, and Y is the quality of polylactide) preparation paclitaxel polymer micelle, the stability of its aqueous dispersions has only 24 hours, during to 72 hours, surpass 30% medicine leakage, see patent US20030143184.
The method that solves drug-carrying polymer micelle stability at present mainly is to select from polymer.We have applied for a kind of new polymer micelle in Chinese patent CN03105348.3, adopt mPEG, PDLLA mass ratio to prepare polymer micelle less than 50/50 block copolymer, this polymer micelle can improve drug loading and micellar stability owing to increased the lipotropy of nuclear.U.S. Pat 20030143184 adopts the method that the polylactide terminal hydroxyl in the mPEG-PDLLA structure is modified with lipophilic group to improve the lipotropy of nuclear, then improve the stability of paclitaxel polymer micelle, the stability of the aqueous dispersions of this polymer micelle can reach 72 hours.
Although said method can improve the stability of polymer micelle to a certain extent, degree is limited.We are unexpected in test to find that the mixed polymer micelle can improve the physical stability of polymer micelle.This mixed polymer micelle mainly is made up of block polymer, wherein contains lipid components, for example phospholipid, cholesterol, oils and fats etc.
Phospholipid is a kind of liposome component commonly used, has the high characteristics of biocompatibility.Phospholipid can be divided into two big classes: sphingomyelins (sphingomyelins lipid sphyngomyelin) and phosphoglyceride (phosphatide orphosphalipid).Phosphoglyceride is made up of glycerol, fatty acid, phosphoric acid and a part amino alcohol (as choline, ethanolamine, serine or inositol).Sphingomyelins has just replaced glycerol with sphingol.
But (PC) (there are Semen sojae atricolor, brain, seminal fluid, adrenal gland, erythrocyte in the source according to the different phosphoglyceride phosphatidylcholines (lecithin) of amino alcohol, egg yolk, have control liver lipid metabolism, prevent the effect of the formation of fatty liver), PHOSPHATIDYL ETHANOLAMINE (cephalin) (PE) (has the effect that participates in blood clotting), Phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositols (PI), phosphatidyl glycerol (PG), diphosphatidylglycerol (cuorin).
In recent years, the PEGization of phospholipid has been prepared medicine carrying phospholipid micelle, yet its drug loading is lower.Block copolymer PEO-PPO-PEO is proved to be the form and the performance that can change the phospholipid bilayer film, see document Torben Ish yand Kell Mortensen, Lamellar-to-Cubic Phase Change in PhospholipidBilayer Systems Incorporated with Block Copolymers:DMPC and PEO-PPO-PEO (P85), Langmuir 2005,21,1766-1775.
So far the micellar report of mixed polymer still.
