Description

Cyclometalated iridium metformin complex and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry. More particularly, relates to a cyclometalated iridium metformin complex and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Hypoxia is a prominent feature of most solid tumors. Solid tumors are deficient in oxygen, nutrition and other supplies due to rapid proliferation of tumor cells, incomplete blood vessel development and uneven distribution inside tumor tissues, and finally, hypoxic regions exist in tumors. The hypoxic microenvironment can induce tumor tissues to generate drug resistance to traditional chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin and the like, so that the chemotherapy effect is poor, the treatment effect of the photosensitizer in a hypoxic region of the tumor can be reduced, and the relapse, transfer and invasion capabilities of the tumor can be increased. Therefore, the development of novel metal antitumor drugs with different antitumor mechanisms has important significance for improving the treatment effect of hypoxic tumors.
Hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) is an important transcription factor responding to hypoxic stress and can combine with beta subunit to form a dimeric complex with transcriptional activity. HIF-1 alpha is over-expressed in more than 70% of cancers, plays an important role in the metabolism, angiogenesis and metastasis of hypoxic tumor cells, and is one of the important targets for treating cancer. HIF-1 alpha expression levels increase progressively with increasing tumor hypoxia levels. It is found that metformin can improve the treatment effect of hypoxic tumors by inhibiting the expression of HIF-1 alpha, and has attracted more and more attention.
Metformin is an oral hypoglycemic agent for clinically treating type 2 diabetes, and can also be used for treating tumors; for example, metformin can be used in combination with aspirin in the treatment of pancreatic cancer to inhibit tumor formation by inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 activity and modulating inflammation. Metformin increases the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to radiation therapy and restores the sensitivity of breast cancer drug-resistant cells to HER2 inhibitors. In addition, the gold-biguanide complex can cause endoplasmic reticulum damage and cell cycle arrest of HeLa cells, and has an anti-tumor effect.
However, the above prior arts all show that metformin has a good antitumor effect, and its antitumor activity under hypoxic condition is not mentioned; and the complex obtained after different metals are matched with metformin has great difference on the uptake capacity, selectivity and antitumor mechanism of tumor cells under the hypoxic condition. Therefore, the further research on the complex with the anti-tumor activity under the hypoxic condition has important significance for treating hypoxic tumors.

Incubating for 10-20 min at room temperature in the dark, then placing in an ice bath, and keeping out of the light with aluminum foil. And then detected by a flow cytometer.
(2) Results of the experiment
The results of the effect of the complex Ir1 on the cell apoptosis inducing capability of MCF-7 cells under the normoxic and hypoxic conditions are shown in FIG. 2, and it can be seen that the proportion of the MCF-7 cell apoptosis is gradually increased along with the increase of the concentration of the complex Ir1 after the complex Ir1 is treated; the proportion of MCF-7 apoptosis induced by complex Ir1 under hypoxic conditions was further increased compared to normoxic conditions, consistent with the data in table 2.
The above results show that: under the condition of hypoxia, the complex Ir1 prepared by the invention can obviously induce tumor cell apoptosis and has obvious capacity of inducing MCF-7 cell apoptosis.
2. Effect on ROS levels in MCF-7 cells
(1) Experimental methods
Mitochondria are the major site of ROS (reactive oxygen species) production, and mitochondrial dysfunction and abnormal production of ROS are important causes of apoptosis in cancer cells induced by many anticancer drugs.
MCF-7 cells with good growth state are taken, trypsinized and diluted into single cell suspension by adding a culture medium, the single cell suspension is inoculated into a six-hole plate, 200 mu L of each hole is inoculated, and the single cell suspension is cultured under the condition of normal oxygen or anaerobic condition at 37 ℃. When the cells grow to the density of about 80%, the complexes Ir1 with the concentrations of 2. mu.M, 5. mu.M and 10. mu.M are respectively added for incubation for 6h, and the cells which are not added with the complexes Ir1 are used as a control group. The cells were trypsinized and collected, incubated with 10 μ M DCFH-DA in serum-free medium at 37 ℃ for 20min in the absence of light, and mixed by inversion every 5min to bring the probe into intimate contact with the cells. The supernatant was removed by centrifugation and the cells were washed three times with serum-free cell culture medium to remove DCFH-DA well without entering the cells. Thereafter, the fluorescence intensity was measured using an excitation wavelength of 488nm and an emission wavelength of 525 nm. Data were analyzed using FlowJo 10(Tree Star, OR, USA) software.
(2) Results of the experiment
The results of the effect of the complex Ir1 on the ROS level in MCF-7 cells under the normoxic and hypoxic conditions are shown in FIG. 3, and it can be seen that the fluorescence intensity (MFI value) of DCF in MCF-7 cells is gradually increased along with the increase of the concentration of the complex Ir1, which indicates that the ROS level in the cells is gradually increased; and in hypoxic conditions, the ROS level in the cells is obviously increased compared with that in the normal oxygen condition after the complex Ir1 is treated.
The above results show that: the complex Ir1 prepared by the invention can induce MCF-7 cells to generate more ROS under the hypoxic condition, and better induce the apoptosis of the MCF-7 cells.
3. Inhibitory Activity on HIF-1 alpha
(1) Experimental methods
Antibodies were purchased from Abcam and manipulated according to the protocol described herein. MCF-7 cells in good growth state are digested by pancreatin and inoculated in a confocal dish. After the cells are attached to the wall, 40uM metformin and 6uM complex Ir1 are added respectively, and the cells are incubated for 48h under the hypoxic condition, and the cells which are not added with the complex treatment are used as a control group. Removing the culture medium, adding 4% paraformaldehyde to fix the cells, permeabilizing with 0.2% TrintonX-100 for 15min, and washing with PBS; sealing the cells with sealing solution for 30 min; the blocking solution was removed, washed with washing solution, and then incubated overnight at 4 ℃ with the addition of primary antibody (rabbit anti-HIF-1. alpha. antibody). After removing the primary antibody, the cells were washed three times with a washing solution, and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) -labeled secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit IgG H & L) was added and incubated for 1H at room temperature in the dark. Rinsing with PBS, followed by addition of Hoechst to stain nuclei. And then observed under a laser confocal microscope.
(2) Results of the experiment
The inhibitory activity result of the complex Ir1 on HIF-1 alpha under the hypoxic condition is shown in FIG. 4, and it can be seen that under the hypoxic condition, the fluorescence of the excitation channel of the secondary antibody treated by the complex Ir1 almost disappears, and the cell treated by the metformin still has fluorescence; the complex Ir1 shows that the complex Ir1 has better inhibitory activity on HIF-1 alpha.
