본 발명은 근적외선 형광체가 결합된 양친성 히알루론산 복합체 나노입자를 포함하여 생체 내 암 조직을 비침투적으로 영상화하는 신규한 암 진단용 조영제 및 상기 근적외선 형광체가 결합된 양친성 히알루론산 복합체 나노입자에 소수성 항암제가 봉입된 암 치료용 약물 전달체에 관한 것이다.The present invention comprises a novel cancer diagnostic contrast agent for non-invasive imaging of cancer tissues in vivo, including amphipathic hyaluronic acid complex nanoparticles bound to near-infrared phosphors, and hydrophobicity to the amphipathic hyaluronic acid complex nanoparticles bound to the near-infrared phosphors. The present invention relates to a drug carrier for treating cancer containing an anticancer agent.

현재까지 암 조기 진단을 위한 신규 조영제의 개발은 대부분 양전자 방출 단층 촬영 (position emission tomography : PET), 단일 광자 방출 단층 촬영 (single photon emission computed tomography : SPECT)과 컴퓨터 단층 촬영 (computed tomography : CT)에 집중되어 있으며, 이는 현재 국내 병원의 방사선 관련 연구자 대부분이 PET/CT 또는 PET/SPECT에 관한 연구를 진행하고 있기 때문이다. 그러나 임상적으로 가장 많은 활용이 되고 있는 PET/CT 또는 PET/SPECT를 이용한 진단은 비용이 많이 들고 크기가 작은 암을 진단하는데 상당한 어려움이 있다. To date, most of the development of new contrast agents for early diagnosis of cancer has been carried out in position emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed tomography (CT). This is because most of the radiation researchers in domestic hospitals are currently conducting research on PET / CT or PET / SPECT. However, the diagnosis using PET / CT or PET / SPECT, which is the most clinically used, has considerable difficulty in diagnosing a costly and small sized cancer.

최근 암 조기 진단 및 치료 분야에 있어서 광학 분자 영상 기술의 중요성이 대두되고 있으며, 근적외선 투시에 의한 암 조직 영상법은 기존의 PET/CT 또는 PET/SPECT 진단기술과 비교하여, 방사성 동위원소의 불필요성, 고해상도의 영상, 저렴한 비용 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. Recently, the importance of optical molecular imaging technology is emerging in the field of early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and cancer tissue imaging by near-infrared fluoroscopy, compared with conventional PET / CT or PET / SPECT diagnosis technology, does not require radioisotopes, It has the advantages of high resolution image and low cost.

그러나, 근적외선 투시에 의한 암 조직 영상법을 사용하기 위해서는 근적외선 파장 (650nm-900nm)의 스펙트럼 범위 내에서 흡수 및 형광 최대치를 갖고, 물에 대한 용해도가 높고 생체 적합성이 우수한 근적외선 형광체의 개발과 더불어, 이러한 근적외선 형광체가 암 조직에 선택적으로 전달·축적될 수 있게 하는 조영제의 개발이 요구된다.However, in order to use cancer tissue imaging by near-infrared vision, with the development of near-infrared phosphors having absorption and fluorescence maximums in the spectral range of the near infrared wavelength (650 nm to 900 nm), high solubility in water and excellent biocompatibility, There is a need for the development of contrast agents that allow such near-infrared phosphors to be selectively delivered and accumulated in cancer tissues.

한편, 오늘날 약 50 여종 이상의 항암제가 융모막암, 백혈병, 윌름즈(Wilms) 종양, 어위 (Ewing) 육종, 횡문근육종, 망막모세포종, 림프종, 균상식육종, 고환암 등에 투여되어 치료효과를 얻고 있다. 최근 암 발생 및 암 세포의 특성에 관한 다수의 연구 결과가 나오면서 새로운 항암제 개발에 관한 연구 또한 활발히 진행되고 있다. 대부분의 항암제는 세포 내 유전 인자의 본체인 핵산의 합성을 억제하거나 핵산에 직접 결합하여 그 기능을 손상시킴으로써 효과를 나타내는데, 이들 항암제는 암 세포뿐만 아니라 정상 세포, 특히 세포 분열이 활발한 정상 조직 세포에도 손상을 입히기 때문에 골수 기능 저하, 위장관 점막 손상, 탈모 등의 부작용이 수반되며 약물의 심각한 독성 및 낮은 용해도로 인하여 기대한 바와는 달리 획기적인 성과를 보여주지 못하였다.On the other hand, more than 50 anticancer drugs have been administered to choriocarcinoma, leukemia, Wilms' tumor, Ewing's sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, retinoblastoma, lymphoma, fungal sarcoma, testicular cancer, etc. Recently, many researches on the development of cancer and the characteristics of cancer cells have emerged, and research on the development of new anticancer drugs is also actively conducted. Most anticancer drugs have an effect by inhibiting the synthesis of nucleic acid, the body of genetic factors in the cell, or by directly binding to the nucleic acid and impairing its function. These anticancer agents are effective not only on cancer cells but also on normal cells, especially normal tissue cells with active cell division. Because of the damage, side effects such as bone marrow dysfunction, gastrointestinal mucosa damage, and hair loss were accompanied, and due to the severe toxicity and low solubility of the drug, the results were not as expected.

따라서, 질병 치료에 사용되는 약물의 부작용을 최소화하기 위하여, 항암제를 암 조직에 선택적으로 투여할 수 있는 새로운 약물 제형 개발이 요구되고 있다.Therefore, in order to minimize side effects of drugs used to treat diseases, there is a need for development of new drug formulations capable of selectively administering anticancer agents to cancer tissues.
