Description

Anti-tumor preparation of doxorubicin prodrug
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, relates to an anti-tumor preparation of an adriamycin prodrug, and in particular relates to construction of pH-sensitive adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug and albumin nanoparticles thereof, and application of the pH-sensitive adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug and albumin nanoparticles in a drug delivery system.
Background
Cancer is a serious threat to the health of all humans. In the past decades, with advances in medical technology, cancer treatments have evolved rapidly, including surgical therapies, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and the like. Chemotherapy is the most common mode of tumor treatment. Chemotherapy kills tumor cells or controls the division of tumor cells by means of 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. Doxorubicin is a broad-spectrum antitumor antibiotic with strong cytotoxicity and has inhibition effect on various tumors. However, the toxic and side effects are large, especially the serious cardiotoxicity, which limits the clinical application of the traditional Chinese medicine. Meanwhile, small molecular drugs are easy to be metabolized and cleared by organisms in the blood circulation process, and the drugs are difficult to reach into tumor cells due to special environments near tumor tissues, such as a complicated vascular network structure, a compact interstitial structure and higher interstitial pressure. These limitations affect the antitumor effects of doxorubicin. How to improve the bad physicochemical properties of doxorubicin, improve the treatment effect and alleviate the toxic and side effects is a formulation difficult problem to be solved urgently.
In recent years, researchers have developed different types of doxorubicin drug delivery systems, the most successful of which are represented by doxorubicin liposomes, which can effectively improve the pharmacokinetics and in vivo distribution of doxorubicin and reduce the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin. However, even if the doxorubicin liposome adopts an active drug-carrying mode, the drug-carrying quantity is only 11%, and the risk of acroerythema after drug administration is obviously improved, so that the treatment effect and the life quality of patients are seriously affected. Therefore, there is a need to construct novel high-efficiency low-toxicity doxorubicin nano-formulations.
Among the numerous serum proteins, albumin is 50% of the total protein content and is an ideal carrier for drugs. Due to the rapid growth of tumors, the integrity of tumor vessels is not good, and common nanoformulations are easily penetrated from tumor vessels while also being difficult to re-circulate back to the systemic circulation via the lymphatic route, this enhanced permeability and retention effect being termed a high penetration long retention effect. The concentration of albumin in blood is about 40mg/mL, the concentration of albumin in tumor interstitium is about 14mg/mL, and under the condition of the concentration difference, the albumin shows good tumor passive targeting through the high permeation long retention effect. Furthermore, 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 albumin to be efficiently accumulated in tumor tissue. However, the binding capacity of the doxorubicin and the albumin is poor, the drug loading rate and the encapsulation rate of the formed nanoparticle are low, and the particle size is uneven. The prodrug strategy can improve the adverse properties of the chemotherapeutic drugs through ingenious structural modification, such as improving the solubility of the drugs, enhancing the targeting property, reducing the toxic and side effects of the drugs 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. Fatty acids of different carbon chain lengths have different affinities for albumin and therefore have an impact on the pharmaceutics, in vivo fate and anti-tumor effects of the prodrug albumin nanoparticles.

When the mass ratio of the prodrug to the albumin is 1:1-3, the particle size of the prodrug albumin nanoparticle is 50-200nm, and the particle size distribution is uniform; when the mass ratio is 1:2-3, the particle size distribution and the encapsulation efficiency are optimal.
Example 5: preparation of pH sensitive type adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle
Accurately weighing 4mg of the pH sensitive doxorubicin prodrug, dissolving the prodrug with 1mL of methanol, slowly dripping the methanol solution into 4mL of bovine serum albumin (or human serum albumin and canine serum albumin) water solution with the concentration of 2mg/mL under stirring, enabling the mass ratio of the prodrug to albumin to be 1:2, and then forming uniform albumin nanoparticles by ultrasonic waves of an ultrasonic cell disruption instrument, wherein the ultrasonic time is 2min and the ultrasonic power is 60W. The organic solvent in the nanofabricated formulation was removed with a rotary evaporator at 25 ℃.
Characterization of pH sensitive Adriamycin-fatty acid prodrug Albumin nanoparticles
As shown in Table 2, the affinity of doxorubicin and albumin is poor, the particle size of the formed nanoparticle is up to 480nm, the particle size distribution is up to 0.6, and the encapsulation efficiency is less than 20%. In contrast, the particle size of the albumin nanoparticle of the three prodrugs is about 120nm, the particle size distribution is less than 0.2, the encapsulation efficiency is more 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 doxorubicin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle on mouse breast cancer (4T 1) cells was examined using the MTT method. The cells in good condition are digested, diluted to 5000cells/mL by culture solution, 100 mu L of cell suspension is added to each well of a 96-well plate after the cells are uniformly blown, and the cells are placed in an incubator for incubation for 24 hours to adhere to the cells. Adriamycin solution or the doxorubicin-fatty acid pro-drug albumin nanoparticle prepared in example 5 was added after cell attachment and incubated for a further 48 hours, using untreated cells as controls. At the end of incubation, 20. Mu.L MTT (5 mg/mL) was added to each well and incubated at 37℃for 4 hours. The medium was discarded and 200. Mu.L of DMSO was added to each well and shaken on a shaker for 10min. Absorbance was measured at 570nm using a microplate reader.
The cytotoxicity results are shown in fig. 7, where the prodrug albumin nanoparticle has reduced cytotoxicity compared to doxorubicin solution. This is because doxorubicin needs to be released from the prodrug nanoparticles, 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 nanoparticle.
Example 7: pharmacokinetic study of pH-sensitive doxorubicin-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 water. The doxorubicin solutions and the three doxorubicin-fatty acid pro-drug albumin nanoparticles prepared in example 5 were each intravenously injected. The dosage of doxorubicin was 4mg/kg. The orbit was bled at the prescribed time points and plasma was isolated. The drug concentration in the plasma was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
The experimental results are shown in fig. 8-10, compared with the doxorubicin solution group, the residence time of the prodrug albumin nanoparticle in blood is prolonged, the area under the drug-time curve (AUC 0-24 h) of doxorubicin is remarkably improved, and the guarantee is provided for tumor targeting accumulation of doxorubicin. At the same time, the length of the fatty acid carbon chain has a significant impact on the pharmacokinetic behavior of the prodrug albumin nanoparticle. The total AUC 0-24 h (sum of prodrug and parent) of doxorubicin-n-decanoic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle, doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle and doxorubicin-stearic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle was 1.37 times, 5.18 times and 13.73 times, respectively, that of doxorubicin solution.
Pharmacokinetic parameters of pH sensitive doxorubicin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticles
Example 8: antitumor experiment of pH-sensitive doxorubicin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle
A4T 1 cell tumor-bearing mouse model was established and 4T1 cells (5X 10 6 cells in 100. Mu.L) were inoculated subcutaneously into BALB/c mice. When the tumor volume was as long as about 100-150mm 3, it was randomly divided into 7 groups (5 mice per group). Adriamycin-fatty acid pro-drug albumin nanoparticle of example 5 was administered every other day tail vein, and doxorubicin solution, commercially available doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome (Doxil), doxorubicin maleimide pro-drug (DOXO-EMCH) and physiological saline were set as control groups, and injected 5 times in total, with a dose of 10mg/kg of equivalent doxorubicin, and tumor volume and mouse body weight were measured daily.
As shown in FIGS. 11-16, the doxorubicin liposome had the best antitumor effect, but the mice had the most significant weight loss compared with the physiological saline group, and exhibited serious toxic and side effects. The doxorubicin solution group and DOXO-EMCH group also have good anti-tumor effect, but after the fifth administration, all mice die and the toxic and side effects are very strong. The three pro-drugs albumin nanoparticles all had significant anti-tumor effects (fig. 11, 12). Fig. 14 shows that there is no significant difference in tumor burden rate between doxorubicin-n-decanoic acid prodrug, doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug and doxorubicin-stearic acid prodrug. However, the body weight of the doxorubicin-stearic acid prodrug was significantly reduced, whereas the body weight of the mice in the doxorubicin-n-decanoic acid prodrug and doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug groups were not reduced, and there was no significant difference from the physiological saline group, indicating that the safety was better and the toxicity was lower (fig. 13). Figures 15-16 show that compared with normal mice without tumor, the spleen of the doxorubicin liposome group mice is shrunken, which shows that the mice have stronger myelosuppression toxicity, while the spleen of the doxorubicin-n-decanoic acid prodrug and doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug group mice is not shrunken, which shows that the safety is better. The results of the blood routine and liver and kidney function tests for each group are shown in FIGS. 17-21. Compared with the adriamycin-stearic acid prodrug with longer carbon chain length, the adriamycin-n-capric acid prodrug and the adriamycin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle have good anti-tumor effect and better tolerance and safety.
Example 9: antitumor experiment of pH-sensitive doxorubicin-fatty acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle
A KB cell tumor-bearing nude mouse model was established and KB cells (5X 10 6 cells in 100. Mu.L) were inoculated subcutaneously into BALB/c-Nu nude mice. When the tumor volume was as long as about 100-150mm 3, it was randomly divided into 5 groups (5 mice per group). Adriamycin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle of example 5 was administered every two days, a commercial doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome (Doxil) and physiological saline were set as control groups, wherein the physiological saline group and the doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle group were injected 4 times in total, and the commercial doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome (Doxil) group was injected 2 times in total, at doses of 15mg/kg and 20mg/kg (equivalent doxorubicin 15mg/kg, 20 mg/kg), and tumor volumes and mouse weights were measured daily.
As shown in FIGS. 22-26, the doxorubicin liposome group died on the eighth day and all died on the ninth day at the dose of 20mg/kg, and the toxic and side effects were very strong. At a dose of 15mg/kg, the doxorubicin liposome group died on day ten, all of which died on day eleventh (fig. 26). Whereas the doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle group was administered four times, the prodrug albumin nanoparticle had a significant antitumor effect at the administration doses of 15mg/kg and 20mg/kg (fig. 22, 23), and the mice did not die, did not have a decrease in body weight, and did not have a significant difference from the physiological saline group, indicating a better safety and lower toxicity (fig. 24). The results of blood routine and liver and kidney function tests of each group are shown in figures 27-31, and neither leucocytes nor lymphocytes of the doxorubicin-n-decanoic acid prodrug nor doxorubicin-myristic acid prodrug group are reduced, nor cause obvious liver and kidney injury. Especially, the leucocyte, the lymphocyte and the like of the mice of the adriamycin-myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle group are not reduced, which indicates that bone marrow suppression does not occur, and liver and kidney function indexes indicate that the mice are not damaged to the liver and the kidney. Therefore, the adriamycin-n-capric acid prodrug and the adriamycin-myristic acid prodrug have remarkable anti-tumor effect, small toxic and side effects and high safety. While the adriamycin myristic acid prodrug albumin nanoparticle has obvious anti-tumor effect, the toxicity is the lowest, and the safety is the highest.
