Description

Imiquimod prodrug nano-particles, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical fields of biological medicine and molecular biology, and particularly relates to imiquimod prodrug nanoparticles, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The information disclosed in the background of the invention is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be taken as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8 small molecule agonists are potent activators of Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) that can directly kill tumor cells and enhance infiltration of Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTLs) by phagocytosis; they are widely studied and investigated as immunomodulators for cancer immunotherapy. Among them, imiquimod class drugs have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for localized basal cell carcinoma, and experiments directed to metastatic melanoma and localized bladder cancer are also underway. However, the uncontrolled rapid distribution of such small molecule agonists often causes dose-dependent immune-related adverse effects, including fatal severe cytokine storms, upon systemic administration, thereby limiting their clinical use. Currently, various attempts have been made to achieve site-specific immune activation and avoid unwanted systemic inflammation caused by its systemic distribution. These efforts include modification with lipid motifs, covalent conjugation to biological/nanomaterials, physical entrapment of nanoparticles by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, and the like. However, these strategies do not cover the amino group at position C4, which is critical to the biological activity of imidazoquinolines.
The biopharmacology of the small molecule imiquimod can be improved by a polymer-drug conjugate, which has many advantages such as enhanced solubility, controlled drug delivery, improved efficacy, and the like. Chemical polymer-drug binding not only can prolong blood circulation and increase tumor accumulation, but also can avoid systemic toxicity. One popular attachment strategy involves attaching the imidazoquinoline to the lipopolymer via a stimulus-responsive linker. The imidazoquinoline-polymer conjugate is achieved by attaching the imidazoquinoline to the backbone of the preformed polymer.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the invention aims to provide imiquimod prodrug nanoparticles, and a preparation method and application thereof. The invention uses chemical means to mask off the C4 amino of Imiquimod (IMQ) to obtain IMQ precursor drug HEDSMA-IMQ (SS), the precursor drug has GSH sensitivity, at the same time adopts RAFT polymerization technology to polymerize synthetic monomer, and carries out modification of tumor targeting peptide (cRGD) on polymer, finally carries out self-assembly on the polymer by self-assembly technology to obtain nano-level nanoparticle delivery system. After intravenous injection, the nanosystems are relatively stable and will not be released in advance due to the lack of GSH environment. The nanosystems aggregate into tumor tissue through targeting of tumor targeting peptides. After endocytosis of the tumor cells, high GSH levels within the tumor cells promote disintegration of the nanosystems, and then release free IMQ. Free IMQ further enhances T lymphocyte infiltration in tumor microenvironment by activating Dendritic Cells (DCs), which is very beneficial for safe and effective delivery of IMQ. Based on the above results, the present invention has been completed.
In a first aspect of the invention, there is provided imiquimod prodrug nanoparticles obtained by self-assembly of an amphiphilic polymer, said amphiphilic polymer being further modified with a tumor targeting target.
Wherein the amphiphilic polymer is polymerized from poly (N, N-dimethylacrylamide) and imiquimod precursor; the imiquimod precursor is specifically obtained after the imiquimod masks the C4 amino group. The imiquimod precursor has Glutathione (GSH) sensitivity, i.e., the proto-drug is released only in high GSH environments.
In a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing the imiquimod prodrug nanoparticles described above, the method comprising: synthesizing a hydrophilic polymer poly (N, N-dimethylacrylamide) (pDMA), and then further polymerizing an imiquimod precursor HEDSMA-IMQ (SS) on the basis of the hydrophilic end to obtain an amphiphilic polymer pDMA-b-pIMQ (SS); and then carrying out target modification on the tail end of the polymer, and carrying out self-assembly on the polymer by a self-assembly technology to obtain the modified polymer.
In a third aspect of the invention, there is provided the use of imiquimod prodrug nanoparticles as described above in the preparation of an anti-tumor drug.
In a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an antitumor drug, the active ingredient of which comprises the above nanoparticle.
According to the invention, the medicament further comprises at least one pharmaceutically inactive ingredient.
In a fifth aspect of the invention there is provided a method of treating a tumour, the method comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective dose of imiquimod prodrug nanoparticles or a medicament as described above.
The beneficial technical effects of one or more of the technical schemes are as follows:
the technical scheme provides imiquimod prodrug nano-particles, a preparation method and application thereof, and the invention uses a chemical means to mask off the C4 amino group of IMQ to obtain an IMQ prodrug HEDSMA-IMQ (SS), wherein the prodrug has GSH sensitivity, i.e. the proto-drug can be released only in a high GSH environment. In order to polymerize these monomers to give polymers, RAFT polymerization techniques were used to polymerize the monomers synthesized. Firstly, a hydrophilic polymer poly (N, N-dimethylacrylamide) (pDMA) is synthesized, and then HEDSMA-IMQ (SS) is further polymerized on the basis of the hydrophilic end to obtain an amphiphilic polymer pDMA-b-pIMQ (SS). Next, the polymer tail is modified with a tumor targeting peptide (cRGD) to impart tumor tissue targeting properties to the polymer. Finally, the polymers are self-assembled by a self-assembly technology to obtain a nano-level nanoparticle delivery system.
After intravenous injection, the nano system is stable and can not be released in advance due to lack of GSH environment. The nanosystems aggregate into tumor tissue through targeting of tumor targeting peptides. After endocytosis of the tumor cells, high GSH levels within the tumor cells promote disintegration of the nanosystems, and then release free IMQ. Free IMQ further enhances T lymphocyte infiltration in the tumor microenvironment by activating Dendritic Cells (DCs). The technical scheme provides a promising platform for safe and effective delivery of the IMQ, so that the method has good practical application value.

Benign tumors are defined as hyperproliferative cells that are unable to form aggressive, metastatic tumors in vivo. Conversely, a malignancy is defined as a cell with multiple cellular abnormalities and biochemical abnormalities that are capable of developing a systemic disease (e.g., tumor metastasis in a distant organ).
In yet another embodiment of the invention, the medicament of the invention is useful for the treatment of malignant tumors. Examples of malignant tumors that can be treated with the medicament of the invention include solid tumors and hematological tumors. Preferably, the solid tumor is selected from the group consisting of breast, bladder, bone, brain, central and peripheral nervous system, colon, endocrine gland, esophagus, endometrium, head, neck, liver, larynx and hypopharynx, mesothelioma, ovary, pancreas, prostate, rectum, kidney, small intestine, soft tissue, testis, stomach, skin, ureter, vagina and vulva, etc., without specific limitation.
In still another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an antitumor drug whose active ingredient comprises the above nanoparticle.
According to the invention, the medicament further comprises at least one pharmaceutically inactive ingredient.
The pharmaceutically inactive ingredients may be carriers, excipients, diluents and the like which are generally used in pharmacy. Further, the composition can be formulated into various dosage forms such as powders, granules, tablets, capsules, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, sprays, etc., for oral administration, external use, suppositories, and sterile injectable solutions according to a usual method.

Tumor growth and body weight curves were analyzed using GraphPad prism 7.0.
Test results
1 Synthesis of monomers
The monomer containing IMQ is synthesized by chemical synthesis means according to the method, namely HEDSMA-IMQ and HEDCMA-IMQ. HEDSMA-IMQ contains disulfide bonds, which can correspond to GSH in tumor microenvironment, so as to release free IMQ; and HEDCMA-IMQ contains GSH insensitive two carbon bonds, so that free IMQ cannot be released. The synthesis routes of HEDSMA-IMQ and HEDCMA-IMQ are shown in figure 1, and the related nuclear magnetism results are shown in figures 2-5.
2 Synthesis of Polymer
For the polymerization of HEDSMA-IMQ and HEDCMA-IMQ monomers, we used classical reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization), abbreviated RAFT polymerization. The specific synthesis procedure is shown in FIG. 6, in which hydrophilic pDMA is synthesized first, and then pDMA-b-pIMQ (SS) and pDMA-b-pIMQ (CC) are synthesized using pDMA as a chain transfer agent. In order to improve the tumor targeting aggregation capability of the polymer, the polymer end groups are modified by tumor targeting peptides, and cyclic RGD peptides are selected. All polymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic hydrogen spectroscopy. The results are shown in FIGS. 7-11.
Construction and characterization of nanoparticles
The polymer is prepared into nano particles by adopting a self-assembly technology, the particle size is about 200nm, and a transmission electron microscope shows that the nano particles are round in shape, and the result is shown in figure 12.
In vitro release of 4 nanoparticles
As shown in FIG. 13, the in vitro release behavior of nanoparticles was examined by dialysis, and the results showed that more than about 80% of free drug was released under GSH (10 mM), and that the IMQ release was lower in the absence of GSH. The results indicate that the synthesized nanoparticles have GSH sensitivity.
Activation of 5 BMDC
To verify whether the nanoparticles we constructed have the ability to activate DCs. We first incubated the drug with tumor cells 4T1 and then added the supernatant to bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) and after a period of incubation examined the maturation of BMDCs using flow cytometry. The results are shown in FIG. 14, where stimulation of the drug promoted expression of CD40, CD80, CD86 and MHC-II on the cell surface of BMDC, demonstrating that the nanoparticles we prepared were able to effectively promote maturation of DC.
Tumor targeting evaluation of 6 nanoparticles
The tumor targeting of the nanoparticles is characterized by adopting a small animal imaging technology, and the result shows that the nanoparticles modified with the c-RGD peptide have stronger aggregation at the tumor part. The effect of improving the enrichment of nano particles at the tumor part after the tumor targeting peptide is modified is demonstrated, and the result is shown in figure 15.
In vivo efficacy of 7 nanoparticles
To evaluate the antitumor effect of cn@ss-IMQ, we established a magnetic BALB/c mouse model carrying breast cancer. When the volume of the primary tumor reaches more than or equal to 100mm 3 When mice were divided into 3 groups (6 mice per group): (1) PBS, (2) free IMQ and (3) cN@SS-IMQ. Mice in each group were injected intravenously every 4 days. The body weight of the mice was measured every 2 days with an electronic balance and the tumor size was measured with a vernier caliper. Tumor volumes were calculated using the following formula: v= (length x width) 2 )/2
The results show that the constructed nanoparticle has the strongest tumor inhibition effect, and the results are shown in fig. 16.
Taken together, this example reports a GSH-activatable IMQ-linked, c-RGD modified nano-immunomodulator (cn@ss-IMQ) that promotes intratumoral immune activation while limiting activation of the extratumor immune system upon systemic administration of such agents. The cN@SS-IMQ only induces immune activation in tumors with high GSH level, has no activity in non-targeted and GSH-deficient environments, and provides a safe drug delivery strategy for systemic anti-tumor reaction. This is achieved by blocking the active site (C4 amino group) in IMQ by disulfides. First, cN@SS-IMQ can significantly increase the amount of IMQ delivered to the tumor site compared to the free drug; once it enters a tumor cell with high GSH levels, cyclization of the polymeric prodrug occurs, followed by a 1, 6-elimination process to release free IMQ, thereby initiating tumor killing and promoting maturation of DCs to further enhance CTL infiltration into the tumor. After treatment with cn@ss-IMQ in female BALB/c model mice bearing 4T1, we observed effective treatment results. These observations underscore the broad use of endogenous stimuli-responsive monomer precursors in safe systemic cancer immunotherapy.
