Description

Targeted nano-microsphere drug delivery system, preparation method and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, in particular to a targeting nano-microsphere drug delivery system, a preparation method and application thereof in preparing a medicament for treating ulcerative colitis.
Background
Ulcerative colitis (Ulcerative Colitis, UC) is a common inflammatory disease of the colon that is difficult to cure due to repeated attacks of disease course and has a tendency to become cancerous, severely jeopardizing public health. Currently, first-line therapeutic drugs for UC are mainly anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants and biological products, but the overall therapeutic effect is not very satisfactory, and the toxic and side effects are large (nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity, etc.). In addition, due to diarrhea caused by ulcerative colitis, the residence time of drug delivery systems (including clinically used drugs) with particles larger than 200 μm in the gastrointestinal tract can be shortened, resulting in reduced efficacy. Therefore, there is a need for new drug delivery systems that can deliver drugs targeted to areas of colonic inflammation, improve efficacy and reduce side effects.
The traditional Chinese medicine is a magnificent of Chinese culture and has a long history. The Chinese herbal medicine and the extract thereof with various pharmacological activities have wide application in inflammation-related diseases, and are the first choice of medicines for supplementing and replacing colon inflammation. Asiatic Acid (AA) is a pentacyclic triterpenic acid separated from centella asiatica (Centella asiatica L. Urban) which is a medicinal plant, has various pharmacological effects of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer and the like, and has potential preventive and therapeutic effects on enteritis. However, asiatic acid has a low water solubility, rapid elimination in vivo, short half-life, and extremely low oral bioavailability, and its clinical application is greatly limited. In order to solve the above problems, the patent CN 105477001B prepares the solid lipid nanoparticle of tromethamine salt of centella asiatica, which improves the solubility and oral absorption of centella asiatica, but involves structural modification, and may have potential safety hazard. Nano-carriers for delivering traditional Chinese medicines such as asiatic acid are reported, and as patent CN 103054804A and patent CN 102784096A respectively disclose drug delivery systems such as asiatic acid solid dispersion and microemulsion; centella asiatica micelle and nano lipid carrier (CN 107638388B, CN 105919976B) are also prepared in the early stage of the laboratory, and the oral bioavailability is obviously improved. However, the above nano-preparation has the defects of insufficient targeting and incapability of positioning and releasing the drug, so that local drug concentration with cytotoxicity cannot be achieved, the enrichment amount of the drug at an inflammation part is low, and serious systemic side effects can be caused when the systemic blood drug concentration is even improved, and the in-vivo efficacy is still to be confirmed.
Modification of specific targeting ligands on nanocarrier surfaces is an effective method to increase localized drug retention and enrichment. In the pathological course of ulcerative colitis, a large number of macrophages are activated and are highly expressed in the inflammatory response of the colon. Mannose receptors are recognition receptors that are predominantly present on the surface of macrophage membranes. Thus, mannose-modified polymeric micelles can be used as macrophage targeting molecules, selectively accumulating at sites of inflammation. In addition, the intestinal tract is the main site of drug absorption and utilization, and thus, intestinal epithelial cell targeted drug delivery systems have become another important strategy for improving the bioavailability of oral drugs.
In addition, due to the particular environment and complexity of the gastrointestinal tract, many drugs and nanocarriers are degraded by gastric acid and proteases before reaching the colon. Thus, oral nanosystems must overcome the barrier to intragastric instability. Sodium alginate is a natural polysaccharide with good adhesiveness, biodegradability and biocompatibility. Because the structure contains a large amount of carboxyl groups, the molecular chain segment of the sodium alginate contracts in an acidic environment and expands in a neutral and alkaline environment, and has pH sensitivity. In addition, G units of sodium alginate are linked to Ca 2+ The plasma reaction forms a dense network structure, which can protect the wrapped medicine from being damaged by gastric acid and fully release in the intestinal environment.

As shown in FIG. 1, 4.5g of deoxycholic acid and 6.6g of 1-ethyl- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride are weighed and dissolved in 250ml of ethanol-acetone (volume ratio 3:7), and the mixture is magnetically stirred in a water bath at 60+ -5 ℃ for 1h to activate carboxyl groups, so as to obtain an organic phase. Weighing 7.5g of chitosan (with the molecular weight of 126 kDa), and adding 500ml of deionized water for dissolution to obtain a chitosan aqueous solution. The organic phase was slowly added dropwise to the aqueous chitosan solution and the reaction continued for 12h. And (3) dialyzing with deionized water to remove free deoxycholic acid and an organic solvent, and freeze-drying the dialyzate to obtain the chitosan-deoxycholic acid graft.

Example 9: investigation of cell uptake characteristics
The uptake of nanomicelles in Caco-2 and Raw 264.7 cells was studied using coumarin 6 as a fluorescent probe instead of asiatic acid in examples 3 to 7, respectively. Caco-2 and Raw 264.7 cells were seeded into 12-well plates (2X 10 per well) 5 Cells) were incubated for 12h, then the fluorescent-labeled nanomicelles of examples 3 to 7 (C6 final concentration 10. Mu.g/ml) were added, and incubated at 37℃for 5min, 15min, 30min, 60min, 120min, respectively. Immediately using 4 ℃ PBS washing cells, adding cell lysate, 80 ℃ repeatedly freezing and thawing for 3 times, measuring the fluorescence intensity and protein concentration in the supernatant, and calculating the uptake percentage. Meanwhile, to investigate the targeting function of micelles, caco-2 and Raw 264.7 cells were seeded onto 12-well plates at the same density and the above procedure. After 12h incubation, caco-2 cells were pre-incubated with mannose solution (5 mg/ml) for 2h and Raw 264.7 with biotin solution (5 mg/ml) for 2h. The micelles of examples 3 to 7, which were fluorescently labeled, were then added and incubated for 2 hours. The rest of the operations are the same as described above. FIG. 4A shows that examples 3-7 fluoresce the most strongly in example 3 and example 5 times after 2h incubation of Raw 264.7 macrophages. After pre-saturation of Raw 264.7 cells with mannose, the fluorescence intensity rapidly decreased (p < 0.01, FIG. 4B). Whereas in Caco-2 cells, example 7 showed the highest fluorescence intensity (FIG. 4C), and there was no significant difference in fluorescence intensity between example 5 and example 7. After pre-saturation with biotin, the intracellular fluorescence of example 5 and example 7 decreased significantly after 1h (p < 0.001, fig. 4D). These results demonstrate that nanoparticle mannose or biotin modification can increase uptake efficiency in macrophages and colon cells.
In addition, for visual comparison of uptake characteristics, caco-2 and Raw 264.7 cells were seeded at the same density on 12-well plates containing glass discs. After 12h incubation, the cells were pre-saturated with biotin or mannose solution. The fluorescently labeled example 3-7 micelles (C6 final concentration 10. Mu.g/ml) were then added and incubated for 2h. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15min and stained with Hoechst 33258 (nuclear dye, 10. Mu.g/ml) and DiI (cell membrane dye, 10. Mu.g/ml) for 10min, respectively. The glass disc was inverted onto a glass slide and fluorescence was observed. FIG. 4E analyzes the positions of the cell nucleus (blue fluorescence), cell membrane (red fluorescence) and C6 (green fluorescence). Examples 3, 5, 7 nanomicelles fluoresce more strongly in Caco-2 cells. After addition of mannose, there was no significant change in intracellular fluorescence values in example 3, while the uptake in example 7 was significantly reduced. The uptake capacity in Raw 264.7 macrophages showed a significant decrease in intracellular fluorescence intensity after pre-saturation with mannose in example 3. These results show that the nano micelle has obvious promotion effect on the uptake of intestinal cells after being modified by biotin, and has certain targeted uptake capacity on macrophages after being modified by mannose.
Example 10: in vitro Release investigation
The drug-loaded nano-micelle obtained in "example 5", the drug-loaded nano-microsphere obtained in "example 8" and asiatic acid solution (about 1mg of drug) were placed in a dialysis bag (molecular weight cut-off 7000), and after sealing, 20ml of hydrochloric acid solution (pH 1.2,1vol% SDS, simulated gastric acid environment) was put in, and the mixture was shaken at a constant temperature of 37℃and 100 rpm. After 2h the release medium was changed to PBS (containing 1vol% SDS, simulating the duodenal environment) at pH 6.8 and shaken at 37 ℃. After 6h the release medium was changed to PBS at pH 7.4 (1 vol% SDS, simulating the colonic environment). Taking out all release mediums respectively at 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 24h, 2d, 3d, 4d and 7d, and immediately supplementing the same volume of fresh release mediums. The result shows (figure 5A) that the accumulated release amount of asiatic acid raw material is close to 20% in 2 hours and reaches the end point (101.2%) in 24 hours; the release of the drug from the nano-micelle is relatively slow, 10.1 percent and 20.4 percent of the drug are released respectively in 2 hours and 6 hours, and the drug is basically released completely (92.6 percent) in 4 days; the release of the drug from the nano-microsphere is slower than the first two groups, the accumulated release amount of the drug in the pH 1.2 solution for 2 hours is only 5.4 percent, and the accumulated release amount of the drug for 7 days is 78 percent, which indicates that the nano-microsphere has the characteristics of pH sensitivity and slow drug release.
The morphological change of the microsphere in the drug release process is further studied. The nano-microspheres obtained in "example 8" were soaked in hydrochloric acid solution at pH 1.2, PBS at pH 6.8 and PBS at pH 7.4 for 2 hours, respectively, and then the residual particles were taken out, sprayed with gold, and observed under a scanning electron microscope. The results show (fig. 5B), the nano-microspheres obtained in "example 8" remained completely spherical after 2 hours of immersion in a solution having a pH of 1.2; in a buffer solution with pH of 6.8, the outer layer of the microsphere is destroyed; after 2h of immersion in pH 7.4 buffer, the morphology of the microspheres became irregular, indicating that the nano-microspheres have pH response properties that help protect the encapsulated drug in an acidic environment.
Example 11: in vivo targeted distribution characteristic investigation
The in vivo targeting distribution characteristics of the nanomicelles and the nano-microspheres in colitis mice were studied using near infrared dye DiR as fluorescent probe instead of asiatic acid in example 5 and example 8, respectively. Mice were randomly divided into 3 groups and given by gavage to free DiR, diR-loaded nanomicelles and DiR-loaded nano-microspheres, respectively, at a dose of 3mg/kg as DiR. Mice were euthanized at 6h, 12h, 24h, respectively, after dosing. The heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and whole gastrointestinal tract were collected and photographed using an in vivo imaging system. Fluorescence intensities were compared at λEx720nm and λEm 790nm wavelengths.
As shown in fig. 6A and 6C, after the mice were given free DiR by lavage, stronger fluorescence appeared in the stomach, and subsequently, the fluorescence gradually moved to the intestinal tract with a decrease in fluorescence intensity. After 24h, only weak fluorescence was visible. After 6h of DiR/nanomicelle administration, strong fluorescence was shown in the stomach of mice, which may be that DiR or nanomicelle adsorbed on the surface of nanomicelle released the drug in the stomach. At 12h, the fluorescence intensity of the colon was gradually increased, indicating that micelles could be directionally aggregated in the colon. After 24h, small amounts of fluorescence were still visible in the cecum and colon, indicating slow release of DiR from the micelles and prolonged residence time in vivo compared to free DiR groups. Interestingly, at 6h, 12h and 24h, the DiR/nano-microsphere set had higher fluorescence intensity in the cecum and colon than the nano-micelle set, demonstrating that the calcium alginate microspheres protected the encapsulated micelles, preventing premature release of the drug in the stomach. Furthermore, the residence time of the drug in the intestine is further prolonged due to bioadhesion of the alginate. When the shell of the calcium alginate microsphere is decomposed in the intestinal tract, the micelle is released, and the medicine is slowly released. Therefore, the nano-microsphere has the characteristics of accurately delivering the medicine to the inflammation part of colon and releasing the medicine at fixed points.
Meanwhile, the fluorescence signals of the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney of the mice at each time point were compared (fig. 6B and 6D). After the free DiR is orally taken, liver fluorescence is strong, kidney fluorescence is weak, and other organs have no fluorescence distribution. Due to the targeting effect of chitosan-deoxycholic acid-mannose grafts and biotin-vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate grafts, the fluorescence intensity of DiR/nanomicelle in liver is reduced, while that in intestinal tract is increased. On the other hand, due to the nature of calcium alginate, the accumulation of DiR/nano-microsphere sets at the colon site further increases, resulting in a decrease of fluorescence in the liver. These results also confirm that the prepared calcium alginate microspheres have the ability to specifically accumulate in colon tissue after oral administration.
Example 12: in vivo pharmacodynamics investigation of colitis mice
DSS-induced mouse models are typical animal models of colitis, with pathological features similar to humans, such as weight loss, colon shortening, colonic epithelial destruction and inflammatory cell infiltration (Hoffmann, m.; schwertassek, u.; seydel, a.; weber, k.; falk, w.; hauschildt, s.; lehmann, j. Arefined and translationally relevant model of chronic DSS colitis in BALB/c microcomputer laboratory Animals 2018,52 (3), 240-252). A model of chronic colitis in Balb/c mice (males) was induced using 3 cycles, each cycle containing 7 consecutive days of DSS aqueous solution at a drinking concentration of 30mg/ml followed by 7 consecutive days of drinking water, as shown in FIG. 7A. Subsequently, the colitis model mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, while normal groups were set: 1) normal group (healthy mice), 2) model group (DSS-induced colitis mice), 3) asiatic acid raw material group (DSS-induced colitis mice orally administered with asiatic acid daily at a dose of 30 mg/kg), 4) asiatic acid nano-microsphere group (DSS-induced colitis mice orally administered daily with nano-micelle of example 8, at a dose of 30 mg/kg). Animals were monitored twice weekly for body weight, fecal consistency, and fecal bleeding throughout the course of the experiment. The severity of colitis in mice was comprehensively evaluated using Disease Activity Index (DAI), including comprehensive evaluation of weight loss (0-4), stool consistency status (1-3), and stool hemorrhage (1-3). The weight loss scores were as follows: 0, <1%; 1. 1% -5%; 2. 5% -10%; 3. 10% -15%;4 to 15 percent. Fecal scores were as follows: 1. the particle shape is good; 2. the feces are pasty and semi-shaped, and are not adhered to anus; 3. the loose stool sticks to the anus. Bleeding score: 1 min, no bleeding; 2. recessive hemorrhage; 3. severe bleeding. Mice were sacrificed at the end of the experiment and the entire colon (from cecum to anus) and major viscera were excised. Corresponding colon sections were taken for histological analysis and cytokine levels were determined. Blood samples were collected and cytokine levels were detected using the corresponding ELISA kit.
As shown in fig. 7B, normal mice body weight increased continuously during the course of the experiment, while model group mice had significant body weight fluctuation and slightly recovered body weight after withdrawal. This may be due to intestinal damage caused by oral DSS, resulting in weight loss in the model group. The weight gain of asiatic acid nano-microsphere group mice is larger than that of asiatic acid raw material group, which shows that the asiatic acid nano-microsphere group mice have a certain colonitis treatment effect. DAI was significantly elevated and colon shortened in DSS treated mice compared to normal mice (FIGS. 7C-E). In contrast, asiatic acid nano-microsphere group mice had lower DAI and colon length close to normal group (p > 0.05). As shown in fig. 7F-G, there was no significant inflammation or destruction in the colon H & E stained sections of healthy mice. However, the model group showed significant inflammatory features such as intestinal epithelial destruction, goblet cell loss, and massive inflammatory cell infiltration of the lamina propria. The asiatic acid nano-microsphere group has basically normal morphology, only has low inflammation and less inflammatory cell infiltration, and effectively improves abnormal lesions of colon tissues.
The intestinal epithelial barrier is critical in the progression of ulcerative colitis. The goblet cells of the colon produce and secrete mucus to maintain the mucosal barrier of the colon. The reduction of Claudin-1 and zon-1 increases intestinal permeability, leading to colonic barrier dysfunction. Figure 7H shows that the model group goblet cells were severely depleted and the number of intact cells decreased compared to normal cells. The asiatic acid nano-microsphere group has remarkable improvement in the aspects of goblet cell reduction and mucosa integrity recovery. As shown in FIGS. 7I and 7J, ZO-1 and Claudin-1 immunohistochemical staining showed the least immune response in the model group, indicating that the intestinal mucosal barrier was disrupted. The expression of ZO-1 and Claudin-1 in the normal group and asiatic acid nano-microsphere group is obviously increased. The nano-microsphere has the protective effect on the intestinal barrier of mice with enteritis.
MPO is a hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase and is an important marker for detecting the severity of mucosal neutrophil infiltration. As shown in fig. 7K and 7L, the infiltration of a large number of neutrophils and macrophages in the colon mucosa of DSS mice, and the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the asiatic acid nano-microsphere group is obviously reduced compared with that in the model group and the asiatic acid raw material group, which indicates that the targeting microsphere can improve the treatment effect of colitis.
In addition, the H & E staining of the main organs of the asiatic acid nano-microsphere group mice has no obvious pathological change (figure 8), which proves the safety of the oral administration of the nano-microsphere and provides a precondition for potential clinical transformation.
From the quantitative detection level of inflammatory factors, the secretion of IL-6, TNF-alpha and IL-1β in colonic tissues of colonic mice of colitis is significantly higher than that of the control group, and IL-10 is significantly lower than that of the control group (p < 0.0001, FIG. 9A). These levels of asiatic acid nano-microsphere groups were all significantly altered (p < 0.001) compared to the untreated group of colitis mice. IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels in serum of asiatic acid nano-microsphere group mice were significantly reduced compared with the model group (p < 0.001, FIG. 9B), consistent with the results of gene expression levels (FIG. 9C). The results show that the prepared calcium alginate microspheres have good anti-colonitis effect.
