Description

Preparation method and application of nitroreductase activated multifunctional molecular prodrug for overcoming heterogeneous distribution of tumor oxygen
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of design and synthesis of anti-cancer drugs, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a nitroreductase activated multifunctional molecular prodrug for overcoming tumor oxygen heterogeneity distribution.
Background
Tumor hypoxia is caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of tumor cells and is one of the important features shared by the tumor microenvironment. This is manifested in the form of a significantly lower oxygen level in the intratumoral tissue cells than in normal tissue cells. In view of this phenomenon, scientists have developed hypoxia-responsive prodrugs by chemically modifying active drugs (e.g., paclitaxel, camptothecin, doxorubicin, etc.) with hypoxia-responsive functional groups (e.g., nitroaromatic derivatives, azobenzene, quinone derivatives). The prodrug protects the active site of an active drug and enables the active site to be functionalized, thereby improving the specificity of the drug for treating tumor tissues and reducing the systemic toxic and side effects of the drug. However, the distribution of oxygen in solid tumors is heterogeneous, and the cells of tissues near the blood vessels are still in a normal oxygen state, and the tumor regions far away from the blood vessels are in an anaerobic state, so that the oxygen content of the whole tumor tissues is obviously different. Therefore, hypoxic responsive prodrugs have great application limitations, which only treat hypoxic regions of tumors, but the residual tumor tissue cells still cause cancer recurrence.
Recently, the combined treatment mode of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy is widely researched, and the combined treatment method can obviously improve the cancer treatment efficiency, reduce the dosage of the medicament and reduce the drug resistance of the lesion tissues to the medicament. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an early-developed minimally invasive phototherapy, and has been gradually applied in recent years for the diagnosis and treatment of clinical cancer. Compared with traditional treatment modes such as operation treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and the like, PDT has the advantages of being minimally invasive, high in selectivity, low in side effect, free of drug resistance, wide in tumor treatment spectrum and the like. In PDT, light of specific wavelength locally irradiates tumor part to excite photosensitizer enriched in tumor tissueThe excited photosensitizer is in energy transfer with molecular oxygen in the tumor tissue, producing Singlet oxygen (Singlet oxygen, 1 O 2 )。 1 O 2 has strong oxidizing property, and can induce apoptosis or necrosis. In addition, PDT is being generated as an accurate light-controlled treatment 1 O 2 Meanwhile, oxygen in tumor tissues can be rapidly consumed and severe hypoxia is caused. Therefore, the photosensitizer and the hypoxia response prodrug are integrated, the maximum effects of photodynamic therapy and hypoxia response chemotherapy can be exerted, the purpose of cooperative therapy is achieved, the treatment difficulty caused by the heterogeneity of oxygen distribution of tumor tissues can be overcome, and the whole tumor treatment is realized.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method and application of a nitroreductase activated multifunctional molecular prodrug for overcoming tumor oxygen heterogeneity distribution. The invention discloses a monomolecular prodrug integrating photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy, which is prepared by covalently connecting chemotherapeutic drugs Camptothecin (CPT) and a BODIPY photosensitizer by utilizing an anaerobic-responsive nitrobenzene connecting arm. Since the hydroxyl active site of CPT is modified, resulting in suppression of CPT cytotoxicity, the entire molecular prodrug has very low dark toxicity. The prodrug synthesized by the invention has the advantages of simple synthesis method, easy purification and separation, less side reaction, high yield, easily obtained raw materials, low cost and contribution to industrial production. The prodrug is enriched to the tumor site by tail vein injection. When the tumor tissue is locally illuminated, the medicine can effectively carry out photodynamic therapy in a tumor normal oxygen region, simultaneously consumes oxygen to accelerate tumor hypoxia, promotes the overexpression of nitrobenzene reductase in tumor cells, reduces nitrobenzene groups in the prodrug into aniline, and further generates intramolecular transformation reaction to release chemotherapeutic medicine CPT; the medicine enriched in the tumor hypoxia area can be reduced by the overexpressed nitroreductase, and the chemotherapeutic medicine CPT is released, so that the defect of insufficient treatment of photodynamic therapy in the tumor hypoxia area is overcome. Therefore, the prodrug is expected to overcome the treatment difficulty caused by the heterogeneity of the oxygen distribution of the tumor and achieve the aim of realizing the treatment of the whole tumor.
In order to realize the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

Based on the molar amount of (a). The application comprises the following steps: the multifunctional molecular prodrug activated by nitroreductase for overcoming the heterogeneous distribution of tumor oxygen is applied to the preparation of anticancer drugs.
The BODIPY-NITRO-camptothecin (BDP-Nitro-CPT) prodrug is used for synergistic treatment for overcoming heterogeneity of oxygen distribution of tumors.
Alkaloid is a low molecular weight biomolecule with a nitrogen content of 20%. Some alkaloids have strong biological activity and are often used for treating diseases. The alkaloid anticancer drugs used clinically at present include camptothecin and the like, which is a type I DNA topoisomerase (Top I) inhibitor and has certain curative effect on esophageal cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer. However, camptothecin also has some disadvantages: such as poor water solubility, unstable structure, large systemic toxic and side effects, etc. The photosensitizer is a core element of photodynamic therapy, the BODIPY derivative is one of fluorescent dyes which are widely researched at present, and the photosensitizer meets a series of advantages of an ideal photosensitizer: such as definite chemical structure, strong light absorption, high light stability, low dark toxicity, high singlet oxygen quantum yield after heavy atom modification and the like.
Based on the method, the hypoxia-responsive nitrobenzene group is firstly connected to the BODIPY photosensitizer, and then is covalently connected to the chemotherapeutic drug camptothecin to form the multifunctional molecular prodrug BDP-Nitro-CPT. When the tumor part is irradiated by red light, the medicine enriched in the normal oxygen area of the tumor is excited by the light to generate photodynamic activity, so that the tumor part is hypoxic, the chemotherapeutic medicine camptothecin is induced to be activated, and the photodynamic-chemotherapeutic synergistic treatment effect is achieved. The molecular prodrug in the tumor hypoxia area can directly activate chemotherapeutic camptothecin and make up the defect of poor effect of photodynamic therapy in the tumor hypoxia area, so that the BDP-Nitro-CPT prodrug is expected to overcome the treatment difficulty caused by heterogeneity of tumor oxygen distribution and realize the purpose of whole tumor treatment.
The invention has the remarkable advantages that:
(1) Camptothecin is an alkaloid capable of directly damaging a DNA structure, and when covalently linked to a BODIPY photosensitizer by a nitrobenzene linking arm, the camptothecin can improve the stability of the camptothecin in the blood circulation process and effectively reduce the systemic toxicity of the drug;
(2) During hypoxia condition or photodynamic therapy of the BDP-Nitro-CPT prodrug, the nitrobenzene group can be directly or indirectly reduced into aniline, and further generates intramolecular transformation reaction to release chemotherapeutic drug camptothecin, so that the synergetic treatment effect of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy is achieved;
(3) The absorption spectrum and the emission spectrum of the prodrug are both positioned in a red light area, the tissue penetration capability of red light is strong, skin phototoxicity is not easy to cause during photodynamic therapy, and the prodrug is low in dark toxicity and is an ideal prodrug;
(4) The target prodrug has a single structure, is simple to synthesize, and is easy to purify;
(5) From cytotoxicity experiments of cancer cells 4T1 (mouse breast cancer cells), hepG2 (human liver cancer cells) and HeLa (human cervical cancer cells), it can be seen that hypoxic cancer cells can induce nitrobenzene groups in BDP-Nitro-CPT to be reduced and then release chemotherapeutic drugs camptothecin.

Application example 1
The research on the in vitro anticancer activity of the molecular prodrug BDP-Nitro-CPT can verify the hypoxic response mechanism and the synergistic treatment mechanism of the drug and provide experimental basis for in vivo experiments. Cell activity was measured by the MTT method. MTT (3- (4, 5-dimethylthiazole-2) -2, 5-diphenyl tetrazole bromide) is a yellow solid, and an aqueous solution of the MTT can effectively identify living cells in the cancer cell inhibition process. The detection principle is that the applied MTT is reduced to purple crystal formazan insoluble in water by the dehydrogenase succinate in the mitochondria of the living cells and deposited in the cells, and the applied MTT can not be reduced by dead cells because the cell structures of the dead cells are destroyed. After formazan is produced by living cells treated with MTT solution, formazan is dissolved by adding Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) to the cells, and the absorbance (OD value) at 570nm is measured with a microplate reader. Cell viability is plotted against log concentration of drugAnd calculating a median inhibitory concentration value (IC) 50 A value). Cell viability calculation formula: cell bioavailability% = (base:Sub>A-base:Sub>A) 0 )/(A 1 -A 0 ) X is 100%; wherein A is the OD value of the experimental group, A 0 Blank OD value, A 1 The OD value is the OD value of the cell control group.
MTT test: normally growing 4T1 cells (mouse breast cancer cells), hepG2 cells (human liver cancer cells) and HeLa cells (human cervical cancer cells) are selected as cell strains for in vitro activity study. The well of each 96-well plate is uniformly paved with about 7X 10 3 The cancer cells were incubated in a cell incubator at 37 ℃ for 24 hours. After incubation, the old medium was replaced with fresh DMEM medium containing different concentrations of BDP-Nitro-CPT (or 2 a), and cells were incubated for 8h under normoxic (21% oxygen concentration), mildly hypoxic (6% oxygen concentration) or hypoxic (0.1% oxygen concentration) conditions. After incubation, cells were washed three times with PBS and fresh DMEM medium was added. Cells were treated with/without light under normoxic, mildly hypoxic, hypoxic conditions (660nm, 20mW/cm) 2 5 min). After the light irradiation is finished, the cells are continuously incubated for 24h. Then 10. Mu.L of MTT (5 mg/mL) solution was added to the 96-well plate and incubation was continued for 4h. After incubation was complete, medium was removed from the 96-well plates using a pipette, and 100 μ L of DMSO was added to sufficiently dissolve formazan in the cells. OD was measured at 490nm using a microplate reader.
We determined the molecular prodrug BDP-Nitro-CPT prepared in the examples and the control drug 2a by MTT method at normal oxygen (21% O) 2 ) Mild hypoxia (6% o) 2 ) And hypoxic (0.1% 2 ) Cytotoxicity to 4T1 cells, hepG2 cells, heLa cells under the conditions. As can be seen from fig. 1: under normal oxygen conditions (c, f and i in figure 1), BDP-Nitro-CPT and 2a have no obvious killing effect on three kinds of cancer cells in the drug concentration range of 0.01-10 mu M, which indicates that the drug has good biocompatibility. When the cells are in hypoxic condition (a, d and g in figure 1), BDP-Nitro-CPT has certain killing effect on 4T1, hepG2 and HeLa cells, and 2a has no obvious cytotoxicity on three cancer cells treated in hypoxic condition. This result indicates that under hypoxic conditions, BDP-Nitro-CPT prodrugs are presentThe nitrobenzene group can be reduced by nitroreductase over-expressed in hypoxic cells, and then chemotherapeutic camptothecin is released to induce cancer cell death. Under the condition of illumination (660nm, 20mW/cm) 2 5 min), BDP-Nitro-CPT has higher cytotoxicity to three cancer cells cultured under normal oxygen and warm and hypoxic conditions, and the IC of the BDP-Nitro-CPT has higher cytotoxicity to 4T1, hepG2 and HeLa cells cultured under normal oxygen 50 IC values of 0.66. Mu.M, 0.67. Mu.M, 0.73. Mu.M for 4T1, hepG2, heLa cells cultured under mild hypoxic conditions 50 The values were 0.73. Mu.M, 0.66. Mu.M, 0.77. Mu.M, and the cytotoxicity was higher than that of the control group 2a (FIG. 1, table 1). The BDP-Nitro-CPT can consume oxygen and promote the release of camptothecin in the process of photodynamic therapy, and realizes the synergistic effect of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. In addition, IC of BDP-Nitro-CPT on hypoxic cells 50 Value ratio of IC to 2a for hypoxic cells treated 50 The higher value indicates that camptothecin released by the BDP-Nitro-CPT prodrug under the hypoxic condition can supplement photodynamic therapy.

The research on the in vivo anticancer activity of the molecular prodrug BDP-Nitro-CPT and the control photosensitizer 2a can further verify the hypoxia response mechanism and the synergistic treatment mechanism of the BDP-Nitro-CPT prodrug. Balb/c mice were used in this experiment for 15-day detection of anti-tumor effect. The tumor inhibiting effect is judged by observing the change of the tumor size during the treatment period, the tumor quality of each group of mice after the treatment and H & E staining of tumor tissue sections, and the safety of the medicine is evaluated.
The experimental method comprises the following specific steps:
(1) Establishing a Balb/c mouse model: 30 female Balb/c mice with the weight of about 20g and the age of 5 weeks are selected, and 1 multiplied by 10 mice are planted on the back of each mouse subcutaneously 6 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells.
(2) Grouping and administration: when the average tumor size of the mice grows to 60mm 3 Mice were randomly divided into six groups (BDP-Nitro-CPT + Light group, 2a + Light group, BDP-Nitro-CPT group, 2a group, saline + Light group, saline group), each group having five mice in parallel, each group being given the corresponding drug (100. Mu.L, 100. Mu.M) by tail vein injection.
(3) Light irradiation treatment: the first administration is day 0, the light group is irradiated 24h after administration, and the tumor part of the mouse is irradiated with 660nm laser for 10min (power density of 300 mW/cm) 2 )。
(4) Data measurement and recording: after the light treatment, the mice were weighed regularly each day and the tumor volume was measured, and repeated for 15 days.
(5) H & E staining: after treatment, one mouse is randomly selected from each group, sacrificed by cervical dislocation, taken out of tumor, heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, respectively, soaked in 4% paraformaldehyde solution for 24H for fixation, wrapped with paraffin, sliced, and stained with H & E. Histological morphology of each tissue section was observed and photographed under an optical microscope.
The anti-tumor results of the experimental group and the control group are summarized in FIG. 2. As can be seen from fig. 2: compared with a Saline control group, mice in the Saline + Light group and the group injected with the BDP photosensitizer 2a without Light have no obvious tumor inhibition effect, which indicates that the mice injected with the BDP photosensitizer 2a alone and given Light have no anti-tumor effect. However, 2a +, light and BDP-Nitro-CPT have significant tumor suppression effect in the matt group, due to photodynamic therapy and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy, respectively. In contrast, the antitumor effect was most significant after the mouse was treated with BDP-Nitro-CPT by tail vein injection and light irradiation, and the size and mass of the tumor was relatively small in the dissected mice (c and b in FIG. 2), and even four mice had their tumors completely eliminated without recurrence (c in FIG. 2). Furthermore, H & E staining in tumor histology indicated that the BDP-Nitro-CPT + Light group induced massive necrosis and apoptosis in tumor cells (E in fig. 2). The mice had negligible weight fluctuation throughout the treatment period (d in fig. 2). In addition, it was found from the tissue sections of the respective organs that 2a and BDP-Nitro-CPT did not cause damage to normal tissues even under light (FIG. 3). The experimental results show that: the BDP-Nitro-CPT light-enriched in the tumor region has a photodynamic-chemotherapy synergistic treatment effect, and the BDP-Nitro-CPT shows good biological safety while enhancing tumor inhibition.
