Description

Photostimulation-response liposome, pharmaceutical composition and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of liposomes, in particular to a photostimulation-response liposome, a pharmaceutical composition containing the photostimulation-response liposome, and application of the photostimulation-response liposome and the pharmaceutical composition in preparation of antitumor drugs.
Background
The treatment of malignant tumor is a worldwide problem, and with the deep understanding of tumor and the continuous improvement of diagnosis and treatment technology, human beings make great progress in tumor diagnosis and treatment. At present, chemotherapy is still the main means of tumor treatment, but the chemotherapy has the problems of poor physicochemical stability, short in vivo half-life, great toxic and side effects on healthy tissues and the like.
The research finds that the application of various nano-drug delivery systems, such as liposome, polymer micelle, polymer nanoparticle, drug-polymer conjugate and the like for encapsulating drugs can change the dynamic characteristics of the drugs in vivo, improve the aggregation concentration of the drugs at tumor parts, prolong the detention time of the drugs, thereby improving the curative effect of the drugs and reducing the toxic and side effects.
Liposomes are minute membranous structures consisting of ordered arrangements of lipid bilayers (lipid membranes), which can range in size from tens to hundreds of nanometers. The medicine can be wrapped in the phospholipid membrane or filled in the formed vesicle. Although the drug delivery system of the liposome-encapsulated anti-tumor drug can make up the deficiency of chemotherapy to a certain extent, the main problems of the traditional liposome for treating tumors at present are that the targeting of the liposome to the tumors in vivo is poor, and the drug release control is not accurate enough.
In response to this phenomenon, researchers have utilized specific environments (e.g., pH, enzymes, ions, etc.) at the tumor site, or physical signals (e.g., light, ultrasound, heat, etc.) applied to the tumor site to design a drug delivery system targeted to the tumor site. For the controlled release mode depending on the stimulus response of the in vivo factors, the mode of triggering the release system to release the drug based on the specific environment of the tumor site largely depends on the in vivo factors, and the individual differences of the factors are large, so that the triggering reliability is not high. For the controlled release mode depending on the in vitro stimulation response, the physical signal triggering mode has less dependence on in vivo environmental factors, and can monitor the strength and the position of the physical stimulation signal, so that the controllability is higher, and the clinical practicability is higher.
Among the numerous physical signals, laser is an ideal in vitro triggering means that can be very precisely located at the target area, is convenient to use, is rapid to excite, and is less disturbed. In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) techniques based on laser irradiation and photosensitizers have become widely used clinically (first us in 1976 and first national in 1981). The principle is that a photosensitizer (such as chlorin e6 and the like) is activated by laser with specific wavelength to start a photochemical reaction to generate singlet oxygen (A)1O2)。1O2Is a powerful oxidant, but has a very short lifetime (less than 0.1 mus), a very short diffusion range, and only species very close to the photosensitizer are able to be exposed to1O2The function of (1). After the photosensitizer is gathered at the tumor part, the photosensitizer is excited to generate by illuminating the tumor part1O21O2The integrity of the tumor cell membrane structure is damaged, thereby generating the killing effect on the tumor cells. A large number of clinical PDT practices show that photosensitizer such as chlorin e6 has extremely low phototoxicity to non-illumination areas and can be safely used in human bodies. In clinic, PDT can treat superficial lesions, and doctors can introduce optical fibers through images and interventional devices such as puncture needles, endoscopes, ultrasound or CT to irradiate the lesions deep in the body of a patient with laser. The growing development of PDT technology provides the basis for the development of light-triggered nano-drug delivery systems.
Reference 1 discloses a photoresponsive liposome, and a preparation method and application thereof, wherein a quaternary ammonium salt group-containing azobenzene derivative capable of responding to ultraviolet light is used for realizing controllable release of a drug in the photoresponsive liposome. However, in the preparation method of reference 1, the preparation process of the azobenzene derivative containing a quaternary ammonium salt group is complicated, and the production cost is high. In addition, in reference 1, since the azobenzene derivative containing a quaternary ammonium salt group undergoes trans-cis isomerization upon irradiation with light, and disturbs the phospholipid membrane, and forms a drug-releasable channel in the phospholipid bilayer, although a good effect is obtained on the controllability of drug release, there is still room for improvement in the amount of release.
Based on the background, the invention provides a design idea of constructing the photostimulation-response liposome by taking a photosensitizer as a photodynamic trigger group based on a photodynamic principle. The invention triggers photodynamic reaction of photodynamic control group-photosensitizer in the photostimulation-response liposome by applying photostimulation to the tumor part to generate1O2So as to lead the lipid membrane of the liposome to be disintegrated, and the medicine wrapped in the liposome is quickly released at the tumor part, thereby improving the medicine concentration at the tumor part and further enhancing the anti-tumor effect of the medicine.
