Adriamycin prodrug anti-tumor preparation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, relates to an adriamycin prodrug anti-tumor preparation, and particularly relates to a pH-sensitive adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug, construction of albumin nanoparticles of the adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug, and application of the adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug in a drug delivery system.
Background
Cancer seriously threatens the health of the whole human body. Over the past several decades, as medical technology has advanced, the treatment of cancer has rapidly progressed, including surgical therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and the like. Chemotherapy is the most common form of tumor treatment. Chemotherapy kills or controls the division of tumor cells by one or more chemical agents that interfere with DNA synthesis, affect DNA structure and function, interfere with RNA transcription processes, interfere with protein synthesis, and the like. Adriamycin is a broad-spectrum antitumor antibiotic, has strong cytotoxicity and has inhibiting effect on various tumors. However, the toxic and side effects are large, especially the serious cardiotoxicity, which limits the clinical application of the medicine. Meanwhile, small molecule drugs are easily removed by the metabolism of the body in the blood circulation process, and the drugs are difficult to reach the tumor cells due to the special environment near the tumor tissue, such as a complicated vascular network structure, a compact interstitial structure and high interstitial pressure. These limitations affect the antitumor efficacy of doxorubicin. How to improve the poor physicochemical properties of the adriamycin, improve the treatment effect and reduce the toxic and side effects is a pharmaceutic problem to be solved urgently.
In recent years, researchers have developed different types of doxorubicin drug delivery systems, the most successful of which is doxorubicin liposomes, which can effectively improve the pharmacokinetics and in vivo distribution of doxorubicin, and reduce the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin. However, even if the adriamycin liposome adopts an active drug loading mode, the drug loading rate is only 11%, and the risk of acroerythema after drug administration is obviously improved, thus seriously affecting the treatment effect and the life quality of patients. Therefore, the need for constructing a novel high-efficiency low-toxicity adriamycin nano preparation is high.
Among the numerous serum proteins, albumin, which accounts for 50% of the total protein content, is an ideal carrier for drugs. Due to the rapid growth of tumor, the integrity of tumor blood vessel is not good, and the common nanometer preparation is easy to permeate out of the tumor blood vessel and difficult to return to the systemic circulation through a lymphatic route, and the enhanced permeability and retention effect is called high-permeability long-retention effect. The concentration of albumin in blood is about 40mg/mL, the concentration of albumin in tumor stroma is about 14mg/mL, and under the condition of the concentration difference, the albumin shows good tumor passive targeting through high-permeability long-retention effect. In addition, the rapid metabolism and growth of tumor cells requires active uptake of large amounts of extracellular proteins (including albumin) as a source of amino acids, which also enables the effective accumulation of albumin in tumor tissues. However, the binding capacity of the adriamycin and the albumin is poor, the drug loading rate and the encapsulation rate of the formed nanoparticles are low, and the particle sizes are not uniform. The prodrug strategy can improve the adverse properties of the chemotherapeutic drug by skillful structural modification, such as improving the solubility of the drug, enhancing the targeting property, reducing the toxic and side effects of the drug, and the like. Albumin has 7 fatty acid binding sites, and therefore, doxorubicin-fatty acid prodrugs are expected to enhance the affinity of doxorubicin for albumin. The fatty acids with different carbon chain lengths have different affinities with albumin, so that the pharmaceutical properties, the in vivo fate and the anti-tumor effect of the prodrug albumin nanoparticles can be influenced.

Precisely weighing a pH sensitive adriamycin prodrug, dissolving the prodrug by using 1mL of methanol, slowly dripping the methanol solution into 4mL of bovine serum albumin (or human serum albumin and canine serum albumin) aqueous solution under stirring, and carrying out ultrasonic treatment by using an ultrasonic cell disruptor to form uniform albumin nanoparticles with the ultrasonic treatment time of 2min and the ultrasonic power of 60W. The organic solvent was removed from the formulation using a rotary evaporator at 25 ℃. The mass ratio of doxorubicin-fatty acid prodrug to albumin was varied and the results are shown in table 1. When the mass ratio of the prodrug to the albumin is 1-3, the particle size of the prodrug albumin nanoparticle is 50-200nm, and the particle size distribution is uniform; when the mass ratio is 1.
Example 5: preparation of pH-sensitive adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles
Precisely weighing 4mg of a pH-sensitive adriamycin prodrug, dissolving the prodrug by using 1mL of methanol, slowly dripping the methanol solution into 4mL of 2mg/mL aqueous solution of bovine serum albumin (or human serum albumin and canine serum albumin) under stirring to ensure that the mass ratio of the prodrug to the albumin is 1. The organic solvent in the nanoformulation was removed by rotary evaporator at 25 ℃.
TABLE 2 characterization of pH-sensitive Adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles
Figure BDA0003212120070000111
As shown in Table 2, the affinity between adriamycin and albumin is poor, the particle size of the formed nanoparticles is as high as 480nm, the particle size distribution is as high as 0.6, and the encapsulation efficiency is less than 20%. In contrast, the particle size of the three prodrug albumin nanoparticles is about 120nm, the particle size distribution is less than 0.2, the encapsulation rate is greater than 85%, and the balling rate is more than 90%.
Example 6: cytotoxicity experiment of pH-sensitive adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles
The toxicity of the adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles on mouse breast cancer (4T 1) cells is examined by adopting an MTT method. Digesting the cells in a good state, diluting the cells to 5000cells/mL by using a culture solution, uniformly blowing the cells, adding 100 mu L of cell suspension into each hole of a 96-hole plate, and placing the cells in an incubator for incubation for 24 hours to adhere to the walls. After the cells were attached to the wall, doxorubicin solution or doxorubicin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles prepared in example 5 were added and incubated for a further 48 hours, using untreated cells as control. At the end of the incubation, 20. Mu.L of MTT (5 mg/mL) was added to each well and incubated at 37 ℃ for 4 hours. The medium was discarded and 200. Mu.L DMSO per well was added and shaken on a shaker for 10min. The absorbance was measured at 570nm using a microplate reader.
Cytotoxicity results are shown in fig. 7, and the cytotoxicity of prodrug albumin nanoparticles is reduced compared to doxorubicin solution. This is because doxorubicin needs to be released from the prodrug nanoparticle, and the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin is limited by the drug release process. The longer the fatty acid carbon chain length, the more cytotoxic the prodrug albumin nanoparticles are.
Example 7: pharmacokinetics research of pH-sensitive adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles
Pharmacokinetic studies were performed using SD rats (200-250 g). Rats were randomized and fasted for 12 hours prior to dosing with free access to water. Doxorubicin solution and the three doxorubicin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles prepared in example 5 were injected intravenously, respectively. The dose of doxorubicin was 4mg/kg. Blood was collected from the orbit at the prescribed time points and separated to obtain plasma. The drug concentration in plasma was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer.
The experimental results are shown in fig. 8-10, compared with the adriamycin solution preparation group, the prodrug albumin nanoparticles have prolonged retention time in blood, and the area under the drug-time curve (AUC) of adriamycin is remarkably improved 0-24 h ) And the method provides guarantee for the tumor targeted accumulation of the adriamycin. Meanwhile, the length of the fatty acid carbon chain has a significant influence on the pharmacokinetic behavior of the prodrug albumin nanoparticles. Total AUC of adriamycin-n-decanoic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles, adriamycin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles and adriamycin-stearic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles 0-24 h (sum of prodrug and parent drug) is 1.37 times, 5.18 times and 13.73 times of adriamycin solution respectively.

Example 8: anti-tumor experiment of pH-sensitive adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles
Establishing 4T1 cell tumor-bearing mouse model, and collecting 4T1 cells (100 μ L containing 5 × 10 cells) 6 Individual cells) were inoculated subcutaneously into BALB/c mice. When the tumor volume grows to 100-150mm 3 In the left and right, they were randomly divided into 7 groups (5 mice per group). The doxorubicin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles of example 5 were administered into the tail vein every other day, doxorubicin solution, commercially available doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome (Doxil), doxorubicin maleimide prodrug (DOXO-EMCH), and physiological saline were set as a control group, and the total injection was performed 5 times at a dose of 10mg/kg of equivalent doxorubicin, and the tumor volume and mouse body weight were measured daily.
The results are shown in FIGS. 11-16, where doxorubicin liposomes had the best antitumor effect, but the mice also had the most significant weight loss compared to the saline group, showing severe toxic side effects. The doxorubicin solution group and the DOXO-EMCH group also have good antitumor effects, but after the fifth administration, mice all die, and the toxic and side effects are very strong. All three prodrug albumin nanoparticles have significant anti-tumor effects (fig. 11, 12). Fig. 14 shows that the tumor-bearing rates of the doxorubicin-n-decanoic acid prodrug, the doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug and the doxorubicin-stearic acid prodrug are not significantly different. However, the body weight of the doxorubicin-stearic acid prodrug was significantly reduced, while the body weight of mice in the doxorubicin-n-decanoic acid prodrug and doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug group did not decrease, and there was no significant difference compared with the normal saline group, indicating that the mice were safer and less toxic (fig. 13). FIGS. 15-16 show that spleen shrinkage occurs in mice with doxorubicin liposome group compared to normal non-tumorigenic mice, indicating that they have stronger myelosuppressive toxicity, while spleen shrinkage does not occur in mice with doxorubicin-n-decanoic acid prodrug and doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug, indicating that they are safer. The results of routine blood and liver and kidney function tests are shown in FIGS. 17-21. Therefore, compared with the adriamycin-stearic acid prodrug with longer carbon chain length, the adriamycin-n-decanoic acid prodrug and the adriamycin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles have better tolerance and safety while having good anti-tumor effect.
Example 9: anti-tumor experiment of pH-sensitive adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles
Establishing KB cell tumor-bearing nude mouse model, and culturing KB cell (100 mu L medium contains 5 × 10) 6 Individual cells) were inoculated subcutaneously into BALB/c-Nu nude mice. When the tumor volume grows to 100-150mm 3 On the left and right, they were randomly divided into 5 groups (5 mice per group). The doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles of example 5 were administered every two days in tail vein, and commercially available doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome (Doxil) and normal saline were set as control groups, wherein the normal saline group and the doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle group were injected 4 times in total, and the commercially available doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome (Doxil) group was injected 2 times in total, at doses of 15mg/kg and 20mg/kg (doxorubicin equivalents 15mg/kg, 20 mg/kg), and tumor volume and mouse body weight were measured daily.
The results are shown in FIGS. 22-26, and at the administration dose of 20mg/kg, the doxorubicin liposome group died on day eight, all died on day nine, and the toxic side effects were very strong. At the 15mg/kg dose, the doxorubicin liposome group died on day ten, and all died on day eleven (fig. 26). While the adriamycin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle group is administrated four times, the prodrug albumin nanoparticle has a remarkable antitumor effect under the administration doses of 15mg/kg and 20mg/kg (figures 22 and 23), mice do not die, the body weight does not drop, and compared with the normal saline group, the prodrug albumin nanoparticle has no remarkable difference, which indicates that the prodrug albumin nanoparticle is better in safety and lower in toxicity (figure 24). The blood routine and liver and kidney function test results of each group are shown in fig. 27-31, and the leucocytes and lymphocytes of the adriamycin-n-decanoic acid prodrug and the adriamycin-myristic acid prodrug are not reduced, so that obvious liver and kidney injury is not caused. Especially, the leucocytes and lymphocytes of mice with adriamycin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle groups are not reduced, which shows that the mice do not have bone marrow suppression, and the liver and kidney function indexes show that the mice do not damage the liver and kidney. As can be seen, the adriamycin-n-decanoic acid prodrug and the adriamycin-myristic acid prodrug have not only remarkable anti-tumor effect, but also small toxic and side effects and high safety. The adriamycin myristate prodrug albumin nanoparticle has the advantages of obvious anti-tumor effect, low toxicity and high safety.
