Description

[0001] NANO PROBE FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATING CANCER [0002]

More particularly, the present invention relates to a nanoprobe for cancer diagnosis and treatment, which is self-doped even in a neutral environment, has high electrical conductivity even in a neutral environment such as in a living body, can have a high absorption characteristic in a near infrared region, It is possible to diagnose cancer cells by performing specific targeting, and specific treatment of cancer cells is also possible by the photothermal effect of laser irradiation.

Recent advances in nanotechnology have contributed to the development of a new field of cancer therapy called nanomedicine. By developing the various functions of nanoparticles through the adjustment of the size between 10 and 200 nm, nanopharmaceutical technologies offer several advantages over traditional treatment methods.

Most importantly, it must be successful in transferring to a circulating machine with a functionally appropriate size and surface. That is, the circulation time in the blood must be prolonged and the reabsorption to the reticuloendothelial system should be reduced and targeted to the tumor functionally.

Nanoparticles should also be capable of incorporating into more than one functional moiety, which should include the therapeutic agent and the material that makes up the shape. Achieving multiple objectives with this single particle is leading to a new cancer treatment strategy called theragnosis.

TerraGinosis is an integrated strategy to develop therapeutic and diagnostic functions efficiently and reliably for individual tumor treatments. This strategy suggests the ability to visualize the size, location, and activity of tumors and the ability to treat the local area by instantly diagnosing some of them. Therefore, it shows the same promise of opening a new chapter of personalized drug that has emerged recently. This is because clinicians can quickly determine whether treatment strategies are effective for individual patients.

Various sets of diagnostic aspects are obtained using non-invasive tumor imaging techniques including MRI, X-ray tomography, ultrasound, and the like. Among them, MRI is the most clinically used technology because of its ability to provide the best spatial resolution and detailed anatomical information. For example, drugs have been loaded into magnetic nanoparticles, developed for teraginosis of breast cancer, and pH-sensitive drug-transporting nanoparticles have been developed as teragnosys protypes of efficient tumor therapy by molecular imaging. However, when all the drug is released, the nanoparticles lose their therapeutic activity and require additional doses until the tumor is reduced.

On the other hand, in the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus widely used for cancer diagnosis, diagnosis has been made using the T2 imaging method. However, this diagnostic method shows the disappearance of the signal caused by the RF frequency, so the image appears black and there is no better contrast effect than the T1 contrast method. In addition, the high sensitivity of the contrast agent used in the T2 imaging method has the disadvantage that distortion and noise are generated in the surrounding tissue. Therefore, there is a growing interest in T1 contrast without any distortion of the surrounding tissue, and many T1 contrast agents have been developed (see Non-Patent Documents 1 to 8).

However, in the case of conventional T1 contrast agent, the r1 value is low, and a large amount of contrast agent is needed for clinical use. Because large amounts of contrast agents can cause toxicity in the body, it is essential to develop high sensitivity contrast agents that exhibit high efficiency even at low concentrations.

In addition, in the case of a general magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent, most of the metal ions are bound to the surface of the particle, and in the case of such a contrast agent, there is a problem that the delivery rate and the amount of the metal ion are inferior (see Non-Patent Documents 9 and 10). These metal ions are not biodegradable and exist in the body for a long time, which causes toxicity.

The nanoparticles including the conjugated polymer substituted with the hydrophilic substituent may have a particle diameter of 1 to 500 nm, preferably 100 to 200 nm. Nanoparticles having such a particle size can significantly reduce non-specific cellular uptake and accurately transmit the target cell. On the other hand, when the particle size of the nanoparticles exceeds 500 nm, the solubility is lowered due to the large particle size and the colloidal stability on the aqueous solution may be lowered.

In addition, an antibody capable of selectively targeting only specific cancer cells to the surface of the nanoparticles can be bound to the target cell. If the antibody is an antibody capable of targeting a specific cancer cell, any antibody conventionally used can be used and is not limited to the present invention.

FIG. 1 (a) is a schematic view showing a method for producing CD44-targetable PPDS nanoparticles prepared in this embodiment and a method for using the same in photothermal therapy.

Referring to Fig. 1 (a), PPDS was synthesized by oxidative chemical polymerization. To enhance the hydrophilicity of Poly-ProDOT, a sultone group was added to the ProDOT monomer (3-methyl-3,4-dihydro- 2H- thieno [3,4-b] [1,4] dioxepin- ).

Subsequently, the modified monomer (ProDOT-sultone) was oxidatively polymerized. An excess of iron (III) chloride was used during the polymerization. The resulting PPDS had an oxidized state of 6.5 kDa by MALDI-TOF. The oxidized PPDS was redispersed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) together with ultra-sonication (190 W), and unfused aggregates were removed by centrifugation (3,500 rpm, 10 min) To obtain a finely dispersed PPDS solution.

To prepare CD44-capable PPDS nanoparticles, PPDS dispersion (4 mg / mL, 1 mL) was mixed with 3 μl of anti-CD44 antibody solution (Cell Signaling Technology) and incubated at 4 ° C. for 4 hours. Unbound antibodies were removed by centrifugation. Finally, the reactants prepared were redispersed in PBS (1 mL, pH 7.4, 10 mM).
