Description

Phase-transition nanobubble, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine preparation, and particularly relates to a phase-transition nanobubble, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Chitosan is a basic polysaccharide with good biocompatibility and biodegradability. The chitosan has-OH and-NH on the main chain2The reactive group provides a bonding site for the grafting reaction, and is an excellent material for preparing the graft polymer. Has been widely used in the research of various drug carriers such as controlled release, targeting, intelligent drug delivery and the like.
The polylactic acid contains a large amount of ester bonds in the molecular structure, and has poor hydrophilicity, so that the polylactic acid has lower compatibility with other substances; polylactic acid molecules have no electric charge and no active groups, and are difficult to modify; the degradation period is difficult to control, etc. Aiming at the defects of the polylactic acid, the modification and modification of the polylactic acid focus on improving the mechanical property and the hydrophilicity of the polylactic acid while maintaining the degradability of the polylactic acid.
In recent years, the combination of polysaccharide and derivatives thereof with polylactic acid to prepare polylactic acid biomimetic materials with good biological performance has become a hotspot of research, and the synthetic methods of polylactic acid copolymers mainly comprise two methods: direct polymerization and ring-opening polymerization. Wherein the structure of the product synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization method is easy to control, so that the polymer with easy control of both the performance and the degradation period can be obtained.
The microbubble contrast agent is an ultrasonic imaging contrast agent, is a gas-containing vesicle formed by an outer envelope and an inner gas, and has the diameter of 1-8 mu m. The bubbles have strong scattering effect on the ultrasonic waves, and the tissue echo can be enhanced, so that the developing definition and resolution are improved. The microbubble ultrasound contrast agent goes through three development stages, the first generation is a free bubble type contrast agent which is physiological saline or emulsion containing carbon dioxide or air and other gases, and due to the large size and no membrane coating, the contrast agent in blood has short duration and loses acoustic reflectivity quickly, only right heart imaging can be carried out, and the use is limited to a certain extent. The second generation is a wrapped contrast agent, the shell membrane is prepared from albumin, a polymer, a surfactant or lipid by an ultrasonic vibration method, the contrast agent has certain stability, and the ultrasonic development of a left heart system can be realized by intravenous injection, so that the contrast agent has clinical practical value and is commercialized. The third generation is a wrapped contrast agent represented by a liquid fluorocarbon emulsion, the core is mainly perfluoropentane (PFP), Perfluorohexane (PFH), Perfluorodecalin (PFD), perfluorooctane bromide (PFOB) and the like, the shell membrane is a high molecular polymer or a lipid, the liquid fluorocarbon emulsion has better stability, the stability of microbubbles which are not easy to break is improved to a certain extent compared with the stability of a blood circulation system of a second generation microbubble product, the ultrasonic sound wave reflection performance is stronger, and myocardial ultrasonic development can be realized through coronary circulation.
Ultrasound contrast agents were discovered by Gramiak and Shah at rochester university as early as 1968. Sonoweiwei is the only ultrasound microbubble contrast agent approved to be on the market in China at present, has the particle size of 1-4 mu m, and can pass through the pulmonary circulation but can not pass through the vascular endothelium. The third-generation microbubbles marketed above are also available from Molecular Biosystems

And the like. The ultrasound contrast agent at this stage has a more stable gas core and a flexible shell and is therefore also more efficient and stable in scattering ultrasound signals. However, the particle size of the microbubbles is usually 1 to 10 μm, and after intravenous injection into the body, the microbubbles can only pass through the pulmonary circulation and cannot penetrate through the wall of the blood vessel, so that only blood pool imaging can be performed.
In recent years, the research of nanoscale gas-containing microbubbles-nanobubbles as novel ultrasonic imaging contrast agents draws attention. The nanobubbles have nanometer-scale particle size and can penetrate through vascular endothelium to enter tissue gaps, so that imaging of extravascular target tissues (such as tumor tissues) becomes possible. The Chinese invention patent 'ultrasonic sensitive drug-loaded nanobubble, 200810166862.6' discloses an ultrasonic sensitive drug-loaded nanobubble, but the fluorocarbon-loaded polymer micelle prepared by combining a dialysis method and an ultrasonic resonance method is not a real envelope nanobubble, and no animal in vivo test or cell test data proves the action effect. The Chinese invention patent 'a multifunctional ultrasonic contrast agent and a preparation method thereof, 201010505467.3' discloses a lipid emulsion containing shell-core structure nanoparticles, which can enhance ultrasonic, CT and MRI imaging, but the lipid emulsion is essentially a lipid emulsion carrying liquid fluorocarbon and nano magnetic spheres, is not a coating nanobubble in the true sense, and has no targeting property. The lipid emulsion adopts the traditional film hydration-dispersion emulsification-ultrasonic preparation process, the particle size is difficult to accurately control, the particle size distribution is wide, and the reproducibility of the preparation process is poor. The invention discloses an ultrasonic magnetic resonance combined contrast agent and a preparation method thereof, and 200610097375.X discloses a polymer microsphere for encapsulating a conventional magnetic resonance contrast agent and fluorocarbon gas, which is prepared by an ultrasonic acoustic vibration cavitation method, wherein the particle size of the polymer microsphere is 1-5 μm, and particle size distribution data is not given. The targeted modification is a simple physical mixing process, and the action effect of the targeted modification is proved by animal in vivo test or cell test data. At present, the disclosed ultrasound microbubbles are mostly prepared from natural materials such as albumin, phospholipid, starch, cellulose, and the like, or biodegradable high polymer materials such as Polylactide (PLA), glycolide-lactide copolymer (PLGA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), and the like. The microbubble prepared by the former has the defects of poor in-vivo pressure resistance, obvious sound attenuation, poor stability and the like, and the latter has the problems of poor hydrophilicity, long in-vivo degradation time, lack of active sites in molecules, difficulty in targeted modification and the like. The disclosed methods for preparing ultrasound microbubbles mainly include acoustic vibration cavitation, mechanical homogenization, thin film hydration, freeze drying, spray drying, and emulsion polymerization (dieshifei, et al, biomimetic membrane materials and technologies, science publishers, 2010). However, these methods have many problems in practical applications, such as: the method has the disadvantages that the nano-scale microbubbles are difficult to obtain, the prepared microbubbles have large particle size and poor particle size uniformity, the preparation process has poor reproducibility, and the severe mechanical action and/or high temperature in the preparation process can cause targeted factors such as polypeptides, proteins, antibodies and the like to lose biological activity and the like. Meanwhile, with the development of medical imaging, higher requirements are provided for an image contrast agent, the nano-contrast agent can be simultaneously applied to different imaging technologies such as ultrasound and MRI, and particularly applied to a novel multifunctional imaging nano-contrast agent integrating diagnosis and treatment of early diagnosis and targeted treatment of imaging of serious diseases such as tumors, and the nano-contrast agent has good application prospect clinically. Meanwhile, there is a need to develop new nano-contrast preparation technology.
