Description

Carbon dots as antitumor drug and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the fields of fluorescent nano materials and biomedicine, and particularly relates to a carbon dot capable of being used as an anti-tumor medicament, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
NO is an extremely unstable biological free radical, has small molecules, simple structure, is gas at normal temperature, is slightly soluble in water, has fat solubility, is widely distributed in various tissues in organisms, and is a novel biological messenger molecule. And has very important biological effects in the aspects of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular regulation, nerve regulation, immune regulation and the like. Therefore, the method is generally regarded by people. It can rapidly diffuse through biological membrane without any intermediary mechanism to transmit the information generated by a cell to the cells around it, and the research on the biological action and action mechanism of NO is in the spotlight, and its discovery marks the research prospect of inorganic molecules in the medical field.
In modern biomedicine, studies have found the presence of hydrogen peroxide in tumor cells. It is therefore envisaged that the production of NO in tumour cells could be achieved if the cells were killed by addition of arginine thereto. However, although arginine reacts with hydrogen peroxide to release NO, the release amount is not very large, and arginine is a biological macromolecule and can only enter cells to play a role in vivo through osmosis, so that the efficiency is not high, and the practical application of arginine is limited to a certain extent.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to improve the defects of the existing technology for generating NO by arginine reaction, and arginine is made into carbon dots, so that the carbon dots are endowed with the fluorescence property, and the fluorescence imaging can be carried out. Moreover, the yield of NO is larger after improvement, and the efficiency is improved by directly entering cells through endocytosis.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the technical scheme that: a carbon dot used as an antitumor drug is prepared by the following steps: arginine is used as a carbon source, water is used for completely dissolving the arginine, a proper amount of ethylenediamine is added, ultrasonic dissolution is carried out, and microwave heating is carried out to obtain the target product carbon dots.
The carbon dot serving as the antitumor drug is characterized in that arginine is L-arginine.
The carbon dots serving as the antitumor drug comprise (1:2) - (1:4) of ethylenediamine-arginine according to molar ratio; preferably, the ethylenediamine-arginine ratio is 1: 2.
The carbon dots serving as the antitumor drug are heated for 4min at the microwave power of 750W.
The carbon dots are used singly or mixed with other antitumor drugs to prepare the antitumor drugs.
The carbon dots prepared by the invention can generate NO through the action with hydrogen peroxide in cancer cells so as to kill the cancer cells. The carbon dots are spherical-like nanoparticles with a carbon atom as a skeleton structure, the size of the carbon dots is less than 20nm, and the carbon dots have fluorescence performance. The invention provides a carbon dot which can react with hydrogen peroxide to generate NO and can be used as an anti-tumor medicament. The drug is a carbon dot that has not been passivated or modified. The fluorescent carbon dots can be used as a cancer treatment drug because they can react with hydrogen peroxide in cancer cells to generate NO, and can kill cancer cells when the content of NO in cancer cells is higher than 1 μ M. In addition, the carbon dots have fluorescence property, so that the diagnosis and treatment of cancer can be integrated.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. the carbon dots prepared by the method have the particle size of 1-5nm, are uniformly distributed spherical particles, have NO passivation or modification on the surfaces, and have NO toxicity, so that the carbon dots can be used in the field of biomedicine, and can effectively treat cancers by releasing NO through the action of the carbon dots and hydrogen peroxide in cancer cells.
2. The carbon dot-based antitumor drug disclosed by the invention not only can be subjected to fluorescence imaging, but also has the characteristics of good biocompatibility, high NO release amount, long action cycle time, good drug stability and the like. For example in biological imaging: the fluorescent carbon dots can be used as antitumor drugs and can be used for fluorescence imaging in organisms so as to realize the diagnosis and treatment integration of cancers. In addition, the medicine can enter cells through endocytosis to play a role, so that the treatment effect is better; the preparation method has the advantages of simple process, easy operation, low preparation cost and easy popularization.
3. According to the invention, arginine is made into carbon dots, so that intracellular fluorescence imaging can be realized, the amount of generated NO is larger, and the method is more favorable for killing tumor cells. In addition, the endocytosis at the carbon point in the biological cell is more efficient than the osmosis of arginine, which is more beneficial to the exertion of the drug effect. The carbon dots prepared by the method can be used as antitumor drugs in biomedicine.
