Description

Photodynamic-chemotherapy combined drug delivery system and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of high polymer materials, and particularly relates to a photodynamic-chemotherapeutic combined drug delivery system, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a method in which tumor cells selectively absorb photosensitizers, and then non-thermal laser with a specific wavelength is used to irradiate a diseased region, so that the photosensitizers in tumor tissues undergo a severe photochemical reaction to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) with cytotoxicity, thereby selectively killing the tumor cells. The mechanisms of the antitumor effect of PDT are mainly divided into three categories: 1) generating singlet oxygen to directly kill tumor cells and induce apoptosis or necrosis; 2) destroy tumor nourishing blood vessels, resulting in tumor ischemia and hypoxia; 3) increase the release of inflammation and immune mediators, even initiate specific immune mechanisms to recognize and destroy distant metastatic lesions. At present, a plurality of photosensitizers are on the market at home and abroad, and the photodynamic therapy achieves better curative effect in the aspect of tumor treatment by the advantages of micro-wound, small side effect and the like, but the conventional photosensitizer which is clinically used at present has the problems of poor water solubility, low cell uptake, slow metabolism, lack of targeting property, delayed phototoxicity and the like. For example, the photosensitizer pyropheophorbide a (Ppa) has excellent photodynamic properties. However, the water solubility of pyropheophorbide a is poor, which limits its wide application.
In order to improve the targeting and enrichment concentration of the photosensitizer to tumor tissues, a drug delivery system carrier is generally adopted to deliver the photosensitizer. However, there are differences in the interaction between the carrier material and the photosensitizer which differ in chemical structure, and this difference can further affect the biological effects of the delivery system, and thus the in vivo circulation, clearance profile and antitumor activity of the delivery system. Therefore, it is very important to find a suitable carrier material.
Chinese patent CN105749280A discloses a tumor targeting nano drug delivery system for synergistic chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy. The drug delivery system is composed of carboxymethyl chitosan, folic acid, photosensitizer chlorin e6 and adriamycin, firstly, the chlorin e6 and folic acid are coupled to a carboxymethyl chitosan chain segment through amido bonds, and then polymer nanoparticles loaded with the adriamycin are obtained through an ion crosslinking method, so that a targeted anti-tumor nano drug delivery system is formed. However, the preparation process of the drug delivery system is complex, and the coupling of the targeting molecular folic acid increases the preparation process; and its tumor-suppressing effect is far from satisfying the demand.
In recent years, researches show that the combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy is expected to achieve more remarkable tumor treatment effect, but due to the complexity of pharmacological action and mechanism of the medicine, the combination of the two medicines can cause antagonism and weaken the treatment effect. Therefore, the photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy combined drug delivery system which has a simple structure, is convenient to prepare and has a remarkable treatment effect on tumors has a wide application prospect.

Example 1 preparation of a DLD-type delivery System of the invention
According to the synthetic route shown in fig. 1, the DLD type drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD according to the present invention were prepared.
(1) Synthesis of Hyperbranched G3-PEG20k-STRT
Hyperbranched G3-PEG20k-OH (800.0mg, 37.0. mu. mol), 3- (Tritylthio) propionic acid (3- (Tritylthio) propionic acid, 247.2mg, 710.4. mu. mol), DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 63.0mg, 1276.5. mu. mol) and DMAP (4-dimethylaminopyridine,. 6mg, 71.0. mu. mol) were reacted under nitrogenl) was dissolved in 20mL of ultra dry N, N-dimethylformamide and reacted at room temperature for 48h in the dark. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was dialyzed in ultrapure water for 2 days using a dialysis bag having a molecular weight cut-off of 8000, and passed through a size exclusion column (Superose 12HR/16/30column on an)

FPLC system (GEHealthcare) column). Finally, the white solid Hyperbranched G3-PEG20k-STRT with a mass of 621.7mg and a yield of 64.3% was obtained by dialysis again in ultrapure water and freeze-drying. As shown in FIG. 3, compared to the hydrogen spectrum of Hyperbranched G3-PEG20k-OH, we have found that the hydrogen spectrum of Hyperbranched G3-PEG20k-STRT1Characteristic peaks were found in H NMR (400MHz in DMSO)1H NMR (400MHz, DMSO). delta.7.36-7.19 (m,15H),2.29(dd, J ═ 9.5,4.8Hz,4H), shows that the molecular structure is correct, and we successfully synthesized the target molecule Hyperbranched G3-PEG20 k-STRt.

The Hyperbranched G3-PEG20k-STRt (300.0mg, 13.0. mu. mol) and Maleimide-Ppa (68.3mg, 104.0. mu. mol) were dissolved in 15mL of ultra-dry N, N-dimethylformamide under nitrogen protection and reacted at room temperature for 48h in the dark. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was dialyzed in ultrapure water for 2 days using a dialysis bag having a molecular weight cut-off of 8000, and passed through a size exclusion column (Superose 12HR/16/30column on an)

As shown in FIG. 4, compared with the hydrogen spectrum of Hyperbranched G3-PEG20k-STRt, we have at G320SP1The characteristic peaks of Ppa between 10.0 and 4.0, δ 9.75(s,1H),9.47(s,1H),8.91(s,1H),8.24(dd, J ═ 17.8,11.6Hz,1H),6.93(s,1H),6.53(s,1H),6.40(d, J ═ 17.8Hz,1H),6.22(dd, J ═ 11.6,1.3Hz,1H),5.18(m,2H),4.56(t, J ═ 5.5Hz,6H), and the characteristic peaks of perbrand G3-20 k-STrt were found to completely disappear in H NMR (400MHz, DMSO), indicating that we have completely removed the thiol groups and protected the PEG, which indicates that we have completely removed the thiol groupsAnd protecting groups and coupling Ppa through covalent bonds, thereby successfully synthesizing the G320SP target molecule.
(3) Synthesis of G320SD
Hyperbranched G3-PEG20k-STRt (200.0mg, 8.7. mu. mol) and Maleimide-DOX (49.3mg, 69.6. mu. mol) were dissolved in 15mL of ultra-dry N, N-dimethylformamide under nitrogen protection and reacted at room temperature for 48h with exclusion of light. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was dialyzed in ultrapure water for 2 days using a dialysis bag having a molecular weight cut-off of 8000, and passed through a size exclusion column (Superose 12HR/16/30column on an)

FPLC system (GEHealthcare) column). Finally, dialysis was performed again in ultrapure water and freeze-dried to obtain G320SD as a black solid with a mass of 166.2mg and a yield of 66.4%. As shown in FIG. 5, compared with the hydrogen spectrum of Hyperbranched G3-PEG20k-STRt, we have at G320SD1The characteristic peaks delta 7.93(s,2H),7.67(s,1H) of DOX between 7.5 and 8.0 were found in H NMR (400MHz, DMSO), while the characteristic peaks of Hyperbranched G3-PEG20k-STRt were completely disappeared, which indicates that we have completely removed the thiol protecting group and coupled DOX by covalent bond, and successfully synthesized the G320SD target molecule.

Experimental example 1 drug Loading test of DLD-type drug delivery System of the present invention
The detection result of an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer shows that the drug loading rate of the drug delivery system G320SP to Ppa is higher than 6.19%, and the drug loading rate of the drug delivery system G320SD to DOX is 7.90%, so that the requirements of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy can be met.
Experimental example 2 characterization of self-Assembly of DLD-type drug delivery systems of the invention
1. Structural characterization of self-assembled systems
To verify the self-assembly behavior of the delivery systems G320SP and G320SD in aqueous solution, respectively, we used D2O or DMSO-d6The solvent fully dissolves both drug delivery systems and tests are performed on a high resolution superconducting nmr spectrometer. As shown in FIG. 8A, delivery system G320SP is shown at D2In the hydrogen spectrum with O as a solvent, the characteristic peak of the photosensitizer Ppa completely disappeared. As shown in FIG. 8B, delivery system G320SD is shown at D2In the hydrogen spectrum of O as a solvent, the characteristic peaks of DOX completely disappear.
This indicates that the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD can form stable nanostructures by self-assembly in aqueous solution, encapsulating the photosensitizer Ppa and DOX in the inner hydrophobic region, and thus the characteristic peaks of both drugs are completely suppressed.
2. Topography characterization of self-assembled systems
We used Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) electron microscopy to characterize particle size and morphology of the unmixed drug delivery system as well as the drug delivery system mixed in different proportions. As shown in fig. 9, the drug loading of the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD is close, but the hydrophobicity of DOX is lower than that of photosensitizer Ppa, so the structure formed by the assembly of the drug delivery system G320SD is not as regular as that of G320SP, and a regular spherical structure is not easy to form. However, the administration system G320SP also has a problem that the particle size distribution is not sufficiently concentrated. The morphology of the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD after mixing is obviously better than that of the single drug delivery system, and the larger the particle size of the mixed assembly is, the more spherical the morphology is, with the increase of the components of the drug delivery system G320 SP.
3. Particle size characterization of self-assembled systems
Further characterization of the particle size of the aqueous phase by a dynamic light scattering particle sizer (DLS) showed similar results as described above (as shown in figure 10). The single drug delivery system G320SP has a larger particle size and a wider distribution, while the single drug delivery system G320SD has a smaller particle size. After mixing, the mixed particle size gradually increases with the increase of the components of the drug delivery system G320SP, and the particle size distribution of the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD is most concentrated and the dispersity is best according to the ratio of the photosensitizer Ppa to the DOX of 3:1, which is consistent with the result of TEM characterization.
4. Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) characterization of self-assembled systems
We also examined further the assembly behavior by determining the critical micelle concentration. As shown in FIG. 11, the CMC value of the drug delivery system G320SP was 7.23. mu.g/mL, and the CMC value of the drug delivery system G320SD was 46.1. mu.g/mL, both of which were much lower than the concentrations required in practical applications, as determined by fluorometry of pyrene probes and calculation of a linear fit curve equation, indicating that both drug delivery systems are susceptible to aggregation by self-assembly in an aqueous environment.
The above results indicate that Ppa can be assembled into a delivery system with a more stable structure and a more focused particle size distribution, possibly due to interaction between the two upon mixing, and that the delivery system has the best particle size distribution and monodispersity when the ratio of photosensitizer Ppa to DOX is 3: 1.
5. Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) characterization of self-assembled systems
To further study the stability of unmixed single drug delivery systems and mixed drug delivery systems in different proportions in a body fluid environment, we simulated the body fluid environment in vivo by adding 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) in pure water and dissolved the different drug delivery systems in the above solution to perform the assay of the particle size of the aqueous phase. The results are shown in figure 12, where both single delivery systems G320SP and G320SD are susceptible to FBS and disrupt the original particle size distribution, but after mixing, the mixed delivery system is relatively less susceptible to FBS, and the best stability of the mixed delivery system is achieved when the delivery systems G320SP and G320SD are at a ratio of 3:1 of photosensitizer Ppa to DOX.
Combining the above experimental results, the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD can be combined to form a mixed drug delivery system with more stable structure and more concentrated particle size distribution, and when the ratio of the photosensitizer Ppa to DOX is 3:1, nanoparticles with the most uniform size, the most monodispersity and the highest stability can be formed in an aqueous environment.
Experimental example 3 optical Properties of photodynamic-chemotherapeutic combination drug delivery System of the present invention
In the above experiment, we have confirmed that the dosage systems G320SP and G320SD have the optimal size and morphology according to the composition of the mixture when the ratio of photosensitizer Ppa to DOX is 3:1, and therefore we focused on the uv-vis absorption spectrum and fluorescence emission spectrum of the mixed dosage system obtained by mixing the above ratios in different solvent environments, and investigated whether the optical properties of photosensitizer Ppa and DOX are affected by the mixture of G320SP and G320 SD.
As a result, as shown in fig. 13, the free photosensitizer Ppa, the free DOX, the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD, and the mixture thereof in the organic solvent were in a completely dispersed state, and their characteristic absorption wavelengths were kept consistent. Whereas in the aqueous environment of PBS, the absorption intensity of the drug delivery system, free photosensitizer Ppa, and free DOX were all significantly lower than in the organic phase. However, after the addition of the surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), the aggregation structures of the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD and the mixture of the two were destroyed, and the absorption intensity of the characteristic absorption peak was enhanced. Free photosensitizer Ppa and free DOX were solubilized by SDS resulting in an increase in the absorption intensity.
Fluorescence emission spectroscopy results (shown in FIG. 14) show that both 405nm and 480nm can excite DOX, the emission intensity of 480nm excitation is higher than that of 405nm excitation, but free photosensitizer Ppa can be efficiently excited to generate emission only at 405 nm. Thus, DOX and free photosensitizer Ppa can be excited simultaneously at 405nm, which facilitates the study of the mixture of G320SP and G320 SD. Meanwhile, the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD and the mixture of the two can still generate fluorescence quenching effects with different degrees in different solution environments. Since both are completely dispersed in organic solvent, there is no effect on the fluorescence emission spectra of covalently coupled photosensitizer Ppa and DOX, but in the aqueous environment of PBS, fluorescence quenching occurs, except that the quenching rate of drug delivery system G320SP is highest, the quenching rate of G320SD is lowest, the quenching rate of mixing is between the two, and the quenching rate of mixing upon excitation at 405nm is also significantly higher than 480nm, probably because the stability of drug delivery system G320SP is significantly higher than that of G320SD (table 3). After addition of SDS, all fluorescence was gradually recovered, and both Ppa and DOX fluorescence were significantly recovered to a greater extent in the drug delivery system than the free drug.
The above studies show that the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD and the mixture of the two can induce fluorescence quenching by self-assembly aggregation in an aqueous environment, and when the aggregation structure is destroyed, the fluorescence can be recovered, while the optical properties of the photosensitizer Ppa and DOX are not affected by the mixture of G320SP and G320 SD.

Experimental example 4 drug Release from the photodynamic-chemotherapeutic combination drug delivery System of the present invention
In order to examine whether the nano-mixed drugs G320SP and G320SD combined with photodynamic-chemotherapy can realize the responsive controlled drug release function under a specific pH condition, we compared the drug release behaviors of G320SD and G320SP + G320SD (a mixed drug delivery system consisting of G320SP and G320SD in a ratio of 3:1 of photosensitizer Ppa to DOX) under two pH conditions (pH 5.2 corresponds to the pH value in endocytosis or lysosome, and pH 7.4 corresponds to the pH value in blood).
The results show (fig. 15) that G320SD and G320SP + G320SD both release slowly under physiological conditions at pH 7.4, with G320SD released at 8h significantly higher than G320SP + G320SD, and the cumulative release at 48h was 44.65 ± 1.09, 35.88 ± 1.47, respectively. Under the weak acidic condition (pH is 5.2), the release rates of the two drug delivery systems are not obviously different, the release amount is obviously higher than that under the physiological pH condition, and the cumulative release amount at 48 hours is not obviously different to 89.12 +/-1.99 and 87.65 +/-2.29 respectively.
The results of the above studies indicate that the mixed drug delivery system G320SP + G320SD has good pH-responsive release characteristics, maintains better stability at physiological pH, and releases free DOX at lower pH, compared to G320 SD. Therefore, the addition of G320SP enhances the stability of G320SD in blood without affecting the drug release characteristics in the weakly acidic environment of tumor tissues or cells.
Experimental example 5 in vitro cell evaluation of photodynamic-chemotherapy combination drug delivery System of the present invention
To examine whether the combination of the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD has synergistic effect of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy on tumor cell inhibition, we studied the cytotoxicity of the single drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD and the mixed drug delivery system composed of the two in different proportions on the breast cancer cells of 4T1 mice by the CCK-8 method.
As a result, as shown in fig. 16 and table 4, the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD had synergistic effects on inhibiting 4T1 cells only with the mixed drug delivery system consisting of photosensitizer Ppa and DOX in a ratio of 3:1 (CI ═ 0.93< 1). However, no synergistic effect can be generated after the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD are mixed according to the ratio of 1:1 and 1:3 of the photosensitizer Ppa to DOX, and the combination indexes CI of the drug delivery systems are respectively 1.55 and 1.61 which are both larger than 1, which shows that the mixture prepared according to the ratios generates larger antagonistic action and the purpose of synergistic effect of photodynamic-chemotherapy is difficult to achieve.
Based on the above research results, the combined photodynamic-chemotherapy drug delivery system composed of the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD according to the ratio of the photosensitizer Ppa to DOX of 3:1 can generate obvious synergistic effect on tumor cell inhibition, and is significantly better than a single treatment mode, due to the advantages of physicochemical properties such as most uniform size, best monodispersity, highest stability and the like.

Experimental example 6 evaluation of in vivo antitumor Activity of photodynamic-chemotherapy combination drug delivery System of the present invention
As proved by the drug delivery system combined by photodynamic and chemotherapy, which is formed when the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD are mixed according to a proper proportion, the drug delivery system has the optimal physicochemical property, can also generate a remarkable synergistic effect on tumor cell inhibition, and in order to further verify the in-vivo anti-tumor effect, a mouse breast cancer transplantation tumor model is established subcutaneously in female BALB/c mice by taking 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells as research objects. The in vivo antitumor effects of the free photosensitizer Ppa-treated group, the free DOX-treated group, the free photosensitizer Ppa and free DOX combination-treated group, the drug delivery system G320 SP-treated group, the drug delivery system G320 SD-treated group, and the hybrid treatment group of photodynamic-chemotherapy combination (G320SP/G320SD drug ratio: 3/1) were compared with the Saline (saine) -injected mouse as a control group.
The results are shown in fig. 17, where the combined photodynamic-chemotherapy drug delivery system has the best antitumor effect, significantly better than the single treatment modality, and the treatment effect is also significantly better than the combined treatment effect of free photosensitizer Ppa and free DOX. In the hybrid treatment group combining photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy, the tumors of 2 mice completely disappear after treatment, and the tumors of the other mice are also obviously reduced. Meanwhile, the photodynamic-chemotherapy combination has a significantly higher tumor inhibition rate (TGI) of 99.34%. The tumor inhibition rates of the drug delivery systems G320SP and G320SD were also relatively high, 94.45% and 88.54%, respectively. The tumor inhibition rate of the free photosensitizer Ppa treatment group is only 47.21%, that of the free DOX treatment group is 42.28%, and that of the free photosensitizer Ppa and free DOX combination treatment group is 66.80%.
In summary, the invention designs and constructs an amphiphilic DLD type linear-tree structure photodynamic drug delivery system and a tumor microenvironment acid-sensitive amphiphilic DLD type linear-tree structure chemotherapy drug delivery system, and after mixing according to a proper proportion (Ppa/DOX), the two systems can be assembled into a combined drug delivery system with a more stable structure and better monodispersity, and the combined drug delivery system has a synergistic anti-tumor effect under the optimal proportion (Ppa: DOX is 3:1), shows an anti-tumor effect which is obviously better than that of the single drug delivery system in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor experiments, and shows a good application prospect in preparing anti-tumor drugs.
