(2) technical background
Curcumine is a kind of polyphenolic substance with multiple pharmacologically actives such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, antimutagenic, anti-ageing, antitumor, reducing blood-fat as extracted the rhizomes such as turmeric, root tuber of aromatic turmeric, curcuma zedoary from the Zingiber curcuma.The curcumine wide material sources, cheap, curative effect is various, be the widely used a kind of foodstuff additive of country in Southeast Asia (wheat Zhenjiang. the Advance on Pharmacological Activities of curcumine. Chinese medicinal materials, 2004, (9): 698).Curcumine has the effect of anti-oxidation stress, can suppress tetracol phenixin, superoxide, D-galactosamine and metal ion as Fe
2+, Cu
2+Damaging action to rat hepatocytes, reduce millet straw, gpt level in serum, remove the hepatic tissue free radical, protection liver cell (KisoY, Suzuki Y, Watanabe N, et al.Anti-hepatotoxic principles of Curcuma longa rhizomes.Planta.Med.1983,49 (3): 185C7; Wan Xiaohua, Luo Xiaoping. copper is on the impact of hepatocyte apoptosis and the provide protection of curcumine. Contemporary Chinese paediatrics magazine 2007,9 (6): 567).Numerous research shows that curcumine can make epoxide hydrolase in liver, Selenoperoxidase, glutathione s-transferase, the activity of superoxide dismutase enzyme increases, lipoid peroxidization resistant is remarkable, can obviously reduce (the Nanji A A of peroxide level in blood plasma and liver, Jokelainen K, Tipoe G L, et al.Curcumin prevents alcohol-induced liver disease in rats by inhibiting the expression of NF-kappa B-dependent genes.Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol2003, 284:G321).Curcumine has the effect of anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis, thus curcumine can the inflammation-inhibiting factor as the expression of TNF-α, IL-6 and activation performance anti hepatic fibrosis (the Chinese patent CN101019841 of hepatic stellate cell; CN101002911).
Numerous experimentation on animals curcumines are nontoxic or toxic side effect is very weak.Clinical experiment shows that the oral 12g/ of patient days to health (the Cheng A L that has no side effect, Hsu C H, Lin J K, et al.Phase I clinical trial of curcumin, a chemopreventive agent, in patients with high-riskorpre-malignantlesions.Anticancer Res.2001,21 (4B): 2895C90).In another clinical second phase test, curcumine does not all show system toxicity (Nam S H, Nam H Y, Joo, J R, Baek S, Park J S Bull.Korean Chem.Soc.2007,28,397) under any intake.But the curcumine molecular polarity is very weak, water-soluble hardly, oral administration biaavailability is very low, curcumine (the Garcea G of the nanogram order of magnitude for example in the patients serum of oral 3.6g curcumine every day, can only be detected, Jones D J, Singh R et al.Detection of curcumin and its metabolites in hepatic tissue and portal blood of patients following oral administration.Br.J.Cancer2004,90:1011).Curcumine is to photaesthesia, unstable under neutrality and alkaline condition, in the PBS solution at pH7.2, curcumine in 10 minutes in degraded 50%(Wang Y J, Pan M H, Cheng A L et al.Stability of curcumin in buffer solutions and characterization of its degradation products J.Pharm.Biomed.Anal.1997,15:1867).Due to water insoluble, curcumine is difficult to directly carry out drug administration by injection, and in blood circulation, eliminate very fast, curcumine detected and have (Ireson C as the glycerol formal solution of curcumine is expelled in Mice Body after half an hour in blood difficulty, Orr S, Jones D J L et al.Characterization of metabolites of the chemopreventive agent curcumin in human and rat hepatocytes and in the rat inVivo, and evaluation of their ability to inhibit phorbol ester-induced prostaglandin E2production.Cancer Res.2001, 61:1058).Extremely low bioavailability has caused curcumine poor reproducibility in therapeutic process, and curative effect is not obvious, can't be in clinical middle practical application.
Curcumine is very restricted for above-mentioned reasons in actual applications, therefore researcher has adopted and curcumine is wrapped in to various nano particles, liposome, vesica, microballoon and the modes such as solid dispersion, polymeric blends, polymer composite that curcumine is made improves the clinical application that the curcumine defect promotes it in recent years.But these methods have, and shortcomings is as low as the curcumine load factor, medicament storage poor stability, emulsifying agent, the solubility promoter usage quantity is large, intravenous injection exists safety issue, complicated process of preparation, with high costs etc.Although had in document by amino-formate bond or peptide bond, curcumine and polyoxyethylene glycol are coupled together and form water-soluble curcumin derivate and, for antineoplastic report, these derivative stability are not high, unstable in blood circulation, remove fast.Derivative (the PBS in neutral environment formed by amino-formate bond as curcumine and Macrogol 2000, pH=7.4) half life of decomposition 60 minutes (Safavy A only, Raisch K P, Mantena S, et al.Designand development of water-soluble curcumin conjugates as potential anticancer agents.J.Med.Chem.2007,50:6284).
Much research in recent years shows, selenium is one of essential trace element of the activity of sustaining life, it is the important component that forms organism antioxidant Selenoperoxidase (GSH – Px), the decline of the shortage of selenium and GSH – Px vigor can cause the illnesss such as hepatitis, hepatic fibrosis, liver cirrhosis to increase the weight of, Different type of Liver Diseases all lack in various degree selenium or blood selenium level low (Wang Zhixin. the clinical meaning that Patients with Viral Hepatitis blood selenium, lipid peroxide and glutathione peroxidase activity are measured. Chinese transmissible disease magazine, 1990,8 (4): 209).Selenium passes through the selenoenzyme class as removing free radicals such as GSH – Px; protection stellate cells, inner cell, liver cell etc. avoid the effect of the damage generation anti-fibrosis of free radical; peroxidatic reaction of lipid with Green Tea Extract and initiation thereof; the effect that appropriate supplement selenium can play prevention hepatitis, hepatic fibrosis, liver cirrhosis (accords with cold; water is auspicious. and selenium is prevented hepatic progress. trace elements and health research; 2005,22 (3): 64).
(3) summary of the invention
The primary technical problem that the present invention will solve is to provide a kind of containing the selenium curcumin polymer, good, the water-soluble height of this polymer stabilizing, be easy to drug administration by injection, bioavailability is high, retained curcumine self good biocompatibility simultaneously, toxic side effect is low and can anti-hepatic fibrosis, the advantage of fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, clinical value is outstanding.
Research Thinking of the present invention is: at first curcumine and cyclopentane tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride are coupled together to the curcumine high molecular polymer that generates two carboxyls of each repeating unit band by polycondensation, one of each unit carboxyl of this polymer chain is wetting ability mono methoxy PEO chain of grafting and make this polymkeric substance can be water-soluble again, finally make again to introduce Se-Methylselenocysteine in a small amount of unit on main chain, obtain the curcumine water-soluble polymers containing selenium.In this polymkeric substance, hydrophobic curcumine is positioned on main chain, water-soluble rear hydrophilic polyoxyethylene chain extends and is wrapped in curcumine main chain skin, form Comblike polymers protection curcumine molecule, it is stable under neutrallty condition and in blood circulation to make it, and fast decoupled discharges curcumine under the effect of liver middle and high concentration esterase, be accumulated in liver organization and reach rapidly the treatment effective concentration, play anti-inflammatory, antiperoxide, anti-fibrosis, the blood ester falls, liver-protective effect, and Se also can improve the GSH-Px activity after being absorbed in vivo, play auxiliary anti-oxidant, anti-fibrosis, the effect of anti-liver cirrhosis.
