Description

Tumor targeting water-soluble conjugated polymer contrast agent, preparation method and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nano biomedical photosensitive diagnosis and treatment, in particular to a tumor targeting water-soluble conjugated polymer contrast agent, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Malignant tumor is also called cancer, is one of the greatest threats facing human beings at present, and is the first three diseases which lead to death of human beings due to diseases together with heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases. Malignant tumors have high mortality due to the characteristics of various types, high complexity, hidden early symptoms and the like. Thus, early diagnosis of cancer has become a popular research direction.
In recent years, various imaging techniques, including Computed Tomography (CT), magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), have been used for in vivo imaging. However, simultaneous in-situ, real-time imaging of multiple events in a living body is difficult to achieve due to insufficient spatial and temporal resolution and safety concerns. Fluorescence imaging of the second near infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) is an emerging technology with deeper tissue penetration, higher spatial resolution and higher temporal resolution than traditional fluorescence imaging (400-900 nm) because it reduces photon absorption and scattering and ignores tissue autofluorescence.
Traditional targeting strategies include passive targeting, which promotes selective aggregation in tumors by modulating nanoparticle size and surface chemistry, enhancing Permeability and Retention (EPR) effects, and active targeting, which has the disadvantages of limited enrichment and high particle size requirements. Active targeting is through binding of high affinity ligands including polypeptides, proteins, nucleic acid aptamers, etc. to specific surface molecules that are predominantly expressed by cancer cells or tumor epithelial cells, with the disadvantage of relatively high costs for polypeptide proteins, etc. The improvement of enrichment efficiency is critical to improve contrast agent specific targeting. Traditional contrast agents are prepared by coating contrast agents in polyethylene glycol (PEG) to enter cells, targeting tumors by EPR effect, and the polyethylene glycol with neutral water-soluble groups has no specific recognition capability with other molecules or structures, so the enrichment degree is limited. And so far only a few organic molecules, which are highly hydrophobic, water-insoluble dyes, have fluorescent emission in the NIR-II region, which must be encapsulated in a polymer matrix for bioimaging, increasing the particle size beyond the renal filtration threshold (ca.40 kd). Recently, small molecule CH1055 (8.9 kDa) NIR-II organic dyes emit at about 1055nm under 808nm excitation, with high water solubility. Although this small molecule dye has shown promise in the preclinical, the study of NIR-II organic dyes with simple preparation process, high quantum yield, and high resolution imaging quality is still in the beginning.
