Description

alpha-KG sustained release preparation and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biological medicines, in particular to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and especially relates to an alpha-KG sustained-release preparation as well as a preparation method and an application thereof.
Background
Alpha-Ketoglutarate (Alpha-KG) is a key metabolic intermediate product of the tricarboxylic acid cycle of an organism and has important effects on stem cell development, aging resistance, protein synthesis promotion, energy metabolism regulation and the like. alpha-KGs contribute to a variety of metabolic processes of nutrients (e.g. amino acids, glucose, fatty acids), provide energy (ATP) for vital activities of cells and material elements (e.g. biofilm lipids) required for cell proliferation. The research results published in journal of Nature of british of Randall m.chi in 2014 show that the alpha-KG can delay senescence and prolong the life of adult nematodes by 50%. The results of studies published by Ana P.Gomes in Nature journal in 2020 show that the content of metabolite alpha-KG in serum of old people (aged 60 or older) is obviously reduced compared with that of young people; azar AsadiShahmirzadi et al, cell Metabolism, reported that addition of α -KG to the diet of middle-aged mice increased the longevity of the mice and improved overall health. Recently, yuan Wang et al, in Nature Communications published, have found that alpha-KG can reduce age-related osteoporosis and promote bone regeneration. At present, with the acceleration of population aging, the requirements of the elderly on life health and quality of life are improved, the alpha-KG of the elderly is safely and continuously supplemented, the health state of the elderly is improved, the occurrence of various senile diseases such as osteoporosis is reduced, the service life of the elderly is prolonged, and the method has important social significance.
Tumors are one of the major diseases seriously harming human life health, and are characterized in that cells are abnormally proliferated and differentiated, and the invasion and metastasis of malignant tumor cells seriously affect the structure and the function of multiple organs of an organism and seriously threaten human health and life. With the continuous development of biomedicine and the continuous development of chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted therapy, the survival rate of cancer patients is continuously improved. However, the existing anticancer drugs often have the toxic and side effects of leucocyte and platelet reduction caused by immunosuppression reduction, inappetence of digestive system, nausea and vomiting, and the like, so that the search for an effective treatment mode with small toxic and side effects is very important. Recent studies have shown that low doses of sustained supplementation with α -KG have significant antitumor effects (see fig. 10-13) without adverse side effects.
Aiming at the problem that the in vivo level of the alpha-KG is reduced along with the increase of the age, and the alpha-KG has the effects of promoting health, prolonging life, improving osteoporosis and resisting tumors, a preparation suitable for supplementing the alpha-KG for middle-aged and elderly people is needed to be developed, so that the alpha-KG of the crowd is maintained at a normal level, diseases related to the reduction of the alpha-KG are prevented, the tumors are prevented and treated, a good health condition is kept, and important social benefits are achieved.
Because the alpha-KG has strong acidity and high solubility, a large amount of acidic substances are dissolved in the gastrointestinal tract in a short time after the alpha-KG is directly orally taken, and certain irritation is generated to the digestive tract; on the other hand, the alpha-KG has small molecular weight, easy absorption by organisms and high metabolic rate, and the concentration of the alpha-KG in the bodies is difficult to maintain at a long-term steady-state level by a common preparation.
Based on the physicochemical properties of α -KG and its rapid absorption and metabolism in vivo, it is necessary to develop an oral dosage form capable of slowly releasing α -KG in the digestive tract, which helps to maintain the in vivo α -KG concentration stable within the physiological concentration range, and avoid adverse effects caused by short-time impact release of α -KG in the digestive tract and rapid rise and fall of blood concentration.
The oral sustained-release preparation refers to a preparation which can release the drug continuously for a long time after administration. Because the administration times are reduced, the difference fluctuation between the peak and the valley of the blood concentration is small, the stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract is reduced, the curative effect is more durable and safer, and the medicine is widely selected. Therefore, the development of the alpha-KG oral sustained-release preparation is helpful to overcome the defects of the alpha-KG and is expected to become an ideal product for supplementing the alpha-KG and maintaining the stable physiological concentration of the alpha-KG in vivo.
At present, a plurality of alpha-KG related products, such as arginine-alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AAKG), are used as a body-building beverage for assisting metabolism or dietary supplements for directly supplementing alpha-KG, such as tablets of Kirkman in the United states abroad, but the alpha-KG related products are not applied to supplement of the alpha-KG at home for a while, particularly, the alpha-KG sustained-release preparation products are not reported.
Disclosure of Invention

Meanwhile, the sustained low-dose supplement of the alpha-KG in the animal body has obvious anti-tumor effect, so the alpha-KG sustained-release preparation can be used for anti-tumor treatment. The sustained-release preparation is particularly suitable for the old with reduced alpha-KG level, and has important application values in the aspects of preventing osteoporosis, preventing and treating tumors, improving health conditions, prolonging life and the like.
In addition, when the general drug sustained release preparation is detected by a liquid phase mass spectrometry technology, the high molecular weight in the sustained release preparation easily causes the residue of a detection pipeline, so that the technical difficulties of product detection and quality control analysis are caused.

Example 2: preparation of alpha-KG sustained-release tablet
Accurately weighing 100.0g of alpha-ketoglutaric acid disodium salt and 40.0g of HPMC, sieving with a 100-mesh sieve, grinding and uniformly mixing, wetting with an ethanol solution, preparing into a soft material, extruding, rounding and granulating, placing in a vacuum drying oven at 50 ℃, drying for 6h, sieving with a 20-mesh sieve, adding 1% of magnesium stearate, tabletting with a full-automatic tablet press to prepare the alpha-KG sustained-release tablet, wherein the weight of each tablet is 290-300mg, and the average hardness of the tablet is 65.66N according to the tablet hardness tester, so that the tablet meets the tablet requirements. Three sustained-release tablets were randomly dissolved in 500ml of water, the mass spectrometry results showed that the average content of α -KG in the sustained-release tablets was 190.16mg, and the results of the contents of the sustained-release tablets and α -KG are shown in fig. 3 and 4.
Example 3: determination of biological release degree of alpha-KG sustained-release capsule and sustained-release tablet
Respectively taking an alpha-KG sustained-release tablet (embodiment example 2), a sustained-release capsule (embodiment example 1) and an alpha-KG raw material capsule (containing equal amount of alpha-ketoglutarate disodium salt raw material powder and not containing the sustained-release reagent of the invention), placing the raw material powder in 500mL of water, continuously stirring at 100rpm by using a dissolution instrument paddle method, respectively taking 100 μ L of clear solution in 5min, 15min, 30min, 1h, 4h and 6h, filtering the clear solution by using a 0.45 μm filter membrane, taking 10 μ L of sample solution, adding 90 μ L of acetonitrile, centrifuging at 12000rpm for 5min, taking supernatant, diluting 50 times by 50% acetonitrile, and then measuring the alpha-KG content by using LC-MS, wherein the alpha-KG content is measured by LC-MS, the alpha-KG detection map is shown in figure 5, the alpha-KG content is measured by using a standard curve sample injection, the concentrations are respectively 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1000ppb, the biological release degree is further calculated, wherein the alpha-KG content is measured by LC-MS, the alpha-KG raw material tablet release curves are shown in figure 6, the alpha-KG sustained-KG raw material tablet release curves at different times, and the sustained-KG raw material capsule release curves are calculated by LC-release curves, and the alpha-KG raw material curves are shown in figure 8.
As can be seen from fig. 7 and 8, the α -ketoglutarate disodium salt raw material capsule is completely dissolved and released within 10 minutes; the alpha-KG sustained-release capsule is released gradually after lasting for 1 hour, and the alpha-KG sustained-release tablet is released gradually after lasting for 6 hours, so that the sustained-release effect is very obvious.
Meanwhile, the invention also discusses the sustained release preparation prepared by the alpha-ketoglutaric acid and the salt thereof and other hydrophilic gel framework materials, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose and chitosan, and obtains similar effects to those of the embodiment example 3 on the sustained release effect, thereby proving that the hydrophilic gel framework materials can also be used as materials aiming at the alpha-ketoglutaric acid and the salt thereof, and do not contain other additional components, so that the formula is simple, and the preparation process is simple.
Example 4: influence of different polymer skeletons on preparation of alpha-KG sustained-release preparation on measurement mode
In this embodiment, the α -KG sustained-release tablets are prepared by the method provided in embodiment 2, wherein the hydrophilic gel skeleton is made of hypromellose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose or chitosan, respectively, to obtain different α -KG sustained-release tablets, and the stability of each α -KG sustained-release tablet, the influence on the LC-MS pipeline in the detection process, and the biological release degree curve are detected, wherein the stability detection method is as follows: the prepared alpha-KG sustained-release tablet is placed in an oven at 40 ℃ for 15 days, the appearance of the tablet is inspected, and the content of the alpha-KG in the tablet is detected.
Figure BDA0003235464950000081
As can be seen from table 1, different framework materials have great influence on the stability of the prepared alpha-KG sustained-release tablet and the LC-MS detection process, and when hydroxyethyl cellulose or chitosan is used as the framework material, the prepared sustained-release preparation has low stability and the defect of premature decomposition; in addition, when sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose or chitosan is used as a framework material, the prepared alpha-KG sustained-release preparation often causes residues of a detected object in an instrument pipeline and a chromatographic column, and the sensitivity and the detection efficiency of alpha-KG detection are seriously influenced. In conclusion, the alpha-KG sustained-release tablet with optimal performance can be prepared only when hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is used as a framework material, and LC-MS detection and analysis are conveniently adopted to ensure quantitative detection and quality control analysis.
Example 5: comparing the blood concentration of the mouse alpha-KG intragastrically (simulating oral ordinary preparation, non-sustained release alpha-KG original drug is released in short time by impact) and the drinking water containing alpha-KG with equal dosage for free drinking administration (simulating low dosage of alpha-KG sustained release preparation for long time continuous intake)
18 mice were divided into 3 groups, 6 per group: a control group (a control group: clear water), an alpha-KG sodium intragastric group and an alpha-KG sodium Na drinking group (a simulated slow release reagent). Another 3 mice served as blank controls (blank) and were used as standard blank plasma.
(1) The control group mice had free access to clear water without further treatment; (2) The dose of the gavage group is 300mg/KG once a day, namely each mouse is given 200ul of alpha-KG solution with the concentration of 30mg/ml every day, the oral administration of the alpha-KG solution is simulated, and the total dose of one day is taken in a short time; (3) administration group containing alpha-KG sodium in drinking water: the equivalent dose (300 mg/KG) is calculated according to the drinking of 6mL of water per day by each mouse (the weight is about 20 g), the content of alpha-KG sodium is 1mg/mL, 200mg of alpha-KG sodium is weighed and dissolved in 200mL of drinking water (the concentration is 1 mg/mL), and the mice freely drink the water and simulate the low dose of the alpha-KG sustained-release preparation for long-time continuous intake.
The animals in the gavage group and the drinking group take the alpha-KG-Na daily with the same total dosage (the dosage of the alpha-KG-Na active ingredient is the same). Collecting blood in orbit 1 hr after intragastric administration or drinking water administration on the third day, collecting blood with heparin sodium blood collecting tube, shaking, centrifuging at 4 deg.C for 10min, and collecting supernatant. mu.L of each plasma sample was added to 160. Mu.L of minus 20 ℃ pre-cooled methanol (1. Taking 4 mu L of alpha-KG-Na standard mother liquor, respectively adding 40 mu L of blank serum, preparing a 1/10 concentration solution by the same blood taking process, respectively adding 4 times of precooled methanol (156 mu L) to precipitate protein after uniformly mixing, centrifuging at 4 ℃ (12000rpm, 10min), and taking supernatant for sample injection. The final concentrations of the standard were: 1000. 800, 500, 200, 100, 50, 25, 10, 0ppb, mass spectrometric detection.
The results showed that both short-term large-dose shock release and long-term low-dose slow release of α -KG resulted in elevated α -KG levels in mouse plasma, and that plasma concentrations at this time point (one hour after gavage) were similar (fig. 9). This indicates that the sustained release dosage form of alpha-KG can continuously supplement alpha-KG to the body, and the blood concentration is basically the same as the blood concentration one hour after the intragastric administration. Because the drug of the sustained-release preparation is released continuously, the adverse effects caused by short-time impact release of the alpha-KG in the digestive tract and rapid rise and fall of the blood concentration can be avoided. The sustained release reagent of the invention has obvious advantages.
Example 6: nude mouse tumor transplantation animal model test

The animal groups implemented by the A549 lung cancer model are respectively: 1) Vehicle (water) group; 2) A drinking water group containing alpha-KG-Na; 3) Standard chemotherapeutic cisplatin control group (CDDP, 4mg/kg/w, i.p.); 4) alpha-KG in combination with CDDP.
The MDA-MB-231 model implementation groups are respectively as follows: 1) A vehicle group; 2) An alpha-KG-Na drinking water group; 3) Chemotherapy drug Doxorubicin (DOX) treatment group (DOX, 1mg/kg/w, i.p.); 4) alpha-KG-Na in combination with DOX.
5. Tumor size was measured using a vernier caliper 2 times per week. The length (L) and width (W) of the tumor were recorded and the tumor size could be calculated as tumor volume = (L × W) 2 )/2。
6. And (3) drawing a tumor growth curve according to the tumor size of the nude mice, and performing immunohistochemistry on tumor tissues to determine the expression of the angiogenesis factor CD 31.
The results show that the drinking water containing the alpha-KG single drug has good anti-tumor effect (figure 10) in the liver cancer model, and can obviously inhibit the growth of tumor cells. The results of the research on the anti-tumor mechanism of α -KG are shown in fig. 13, and it can be seen from fig. 13 that α -KG inhibits tumor angiogenesis and significantly inhibits tumor growth. The slow release agent can obviously inhibit the growth of tumor cells, and has potential therapeutic application value.
In the lung cancer model, the drinking water containing alpha-KG has an anti-tumor effect when being used singly (600 mg/KG/day), the curative effect is slightly better than that of the standard chemotherapeutic drug Cisplatin (CDDP) (4 mg/KG/week) (figure 11A), no obvious adverse side effect is seen, and the weight is normal (figure 11B). However, mice in the CDDP treated group treated with the standard chemotherapeutic drug had significantly reduced body weight (FIG. 11B), and thus the therapeutic effect of α -KG was superior to that of Cisplatin (CDDP) in the lung cancer model.
In a breast cancer model, a single alpha-KG (1200 mg/KG/day) has an anti-tumor effect, the curative effect of the single alpha-KG is slightly better than that of clinical chemotherapeutic adriamycin (DOX) (1 mg/KG/week) (figure 12A), no obvious adverse side effect is seen, and the weight is normal (figure 12B); the combination of the alpha-KG (1200 mg/KG/day) and the adriamycin (1 mg/KG/week) shows good synergistic antitumor effect, and has significant statistical significance compared with the effect of the two drugs which are taken independently (FIG. 12).
It will be appreciated that the combination of α -KG and doxorubicin has a synergistic effect. The α -KG herein may be a sustained-release agent of the present invention, or may be a non-sustained-release agent, and may be in the form of a crude drug. It will be readily appreciated that drug interactions are interactions between active ingredients and are not necessarily related to a particular dosage form, i.e. whether sustained release or not, the combination has a significant anti-cancer effect.
Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Since various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended.
