Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical carriers, and in particular to the field of pharmaceutical carriers comprising bridged polyethylene glycol-aliphatic polyester block copolymers.
- Nano-scale drug carriers can protect drug molecules, change the in vivo distribution and pharmacokinetics of drug molecules, increase the intracellular concentration of drugs, and enhance the drug-forming properties of drug candidates, thereby significantly enhancing drug efficacy and reducing side effects.
- a large number of pharmaceutical excipients based on amphiphilic block polymers and their preparations have emerged in basic research and application fields, and the approved polymer-based nanomedicines have also achieved great economic benefits.
- a representative amphiphilic block polymer is a polyethylene glycol-aliphatic polyester block polymer having excellent biodegradability, bioabsorbability and biocompatibility, which is polyethylene glycol- Polylactic acid, polyethylene glycol-polyglycolic acid and polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone are the main ones.
- these barriers include: 1) drug molecules or particles in the blood need to have appropriate and extended cycle time; 2) nanoparticle loading drugs need to enhance the enrichment of drugs in tumor tissue; 3) need to improve tumor cells to drugs Ingestion; 4) Rapid release of drug molecules from tumor cells.
- the surface of the nano drug formed with the drug molecule is covered by a hydrophilic component such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) from a conventional amphiphilic block polymer, such as the aforementioned polyethylene glycol-aliphatic polyester block polymer.
- PEG polyethylene glycol
- a conventional amphiphilic block polymer such as the aforementioned polyethylene glycol-aliphatic polyester block polymer. It helps to prolong the circulation time of the drug and promote the enrichment of the drug in the tumor tissue, but the PEG molecule covering the surface of the nano drug prevents the tumor cells from ingesting the nano drug, and even prevents the drug molecule from being released from the nanoparticle entering the cell. It limits the drug delivery properties of these amphiphilic polymers as nano drug carriers, restricting their conversion and application.
- “Bridged” amphiphilic block polymers typically amphiphilic polymers such as “bridged” with disulfide bonds and double selenium bonds.
- This "bridged” amphiphilic polymer refers to a type of amphiphilic polymer that "bridges” a hydrophilic component (such as PEG) and other hydrophobic components (such as aliphatic polyesters) using a special chemical bond.
- the "bridge” chemical bond has sensitivity to a special environment (such as pH, reducing environment), can rapidly degrade under certain circumstances, so that the hydrophilic hydrophobic component is separated, and finally the preparation is made.
- composition of the nanoparticles results in a change in the properties of the nanoparticles or disrupts the structure of the nanoparticles, thereby enhancing the escape of the particles from the endosomes or promoting the release of the drug.
- These "bridged" amphiphilic blocks that are sensitive to specific physicochemical microenvironments in tumor cells can solve some of the problems, such as the release of drugs from the nano drug carrier in the cell, but in the uptake of nano drug carriers by tumor cells. No effect.
- the tumor-specific microenvironment of tumor tissue is mainly divided into a weakly acidic environment (pH 6.5-7.0) caused by the Warburg effect and an enzyme substance related to the specific expression of tumor development, and the latter is more easily utilized to design a related bridge. Copolymer.
- MMP2 matrix metalloproteinase 2
- XPLG*LAGR9X Lactone block polymer
- the internal environment of solid tumors is weakly acidic (pH 6.5-7.0), and the nanoparticles undergo a more acidic environment (pH 5.0-5.5), hydrogen ions and chemical bonds after endocytosis into tumor cells.
- the binding speed is much higher than the combination of the chemical bond of the enzyme and the polypeptide, and the application range of the bridged polyethylene glycol-aliphatic polyester block polymer with pH-responsive chemical bond will be more practical and extensive.
- the pH values inside and outside the tumor cells differ from the pH values of the normal physiological environment, this imposes more stringent requirements on the design and response sensitivity of the "bridge" chemical bonds.

Abstract
本发明涉及一种桥联的聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯嵌段共聚物,可用于制备小分子化疗药物和核酸类药物输送载体。所述桥联嵌段聚合物制备的纳米药物载体可在肿瘤组织或肿瘤细胞内pH环境下发生特异性降解,从而改变纳米颗粒结构,增强细胞摄取或胞内药物释放,提高肿瘤细胞对药物的敏感性。
Description
本发明涉及药物载体领域,特别涉及包含桥联的聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯嵌段共聚物的药物载体领域。
纳米尺度的药物载体能保护药物分子,改变药物分子的体内分布和药物代谢动力学,提高药物胞内浓度,增强候选药物成药性,从而显著增强药效并降低毒副作用。基础研究和应用领域已出现大量以两亲性嵌段聚合物为基础的药物辅料及其制剂,已批准上市的基于聚合物的纳米药物也取得了巨大经济效益。其中代表性的两亲嵌段聚合物是具有优良的生物可降解性、生物可吸收性和生物相容性的聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯嵌段聚合物,其以聚乙二醇-聚乳酸、聚乙二醇-聚乙醇酸和聚乙二醇-聚己内酯为主。
纳米药物研究初期,通常认为延长颗粒体内循环可改善药物体内分布,可达到增强治疗效果的目的;然而,后续研究发现,在肿瘤的治疗中,荷载药物的纳米颗粒在体内应突破多重屏障才能有效提高药物疗效,这些屏障包括:1)药物分子或颗粒在血液中需有合适及延长的循环时间;2)纳米颗粒荷载药物需增强肿瘤组织中药物的富集;3)需提高肿瘤细胞对药物摄取;4)需使得药物分子从肿瘤细胞内快速释放。由传统的两亲性嵌段聚合物,例如前述聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯嵌段聚合物,与药物分子形成的纳米药物表面被亲水性组份如聚乙二醇(PEG)覆盖,有助于延长药物体内循环时间,并促进药物在肿瘤组织中富集,但覆盖在纳米药物表面的PEG分子阻止肿瘤细胞对纳米药物的摄取,甚至阻止药物分子从进入细胞的纳米颗粒中释放,限制了这些两亲性聚合物作为纳米药物载体的药物输送性能,制约其转化和应用。
研究人员利用肿瘤细胞内特殊的理化微环境,设计了以敏感化学键
“桥联”的两亲性嵌段聚合物,典型的如以二硫键、双硒键“桥联”的两亲性聚合物。这种“桥联”两亲性聚合物是指利用特殊化学键作为亲水性组份(如PEG)和其它疏水组分(如脂肪族聚酯)“桥联”的一类两亲性聚合物,一般情况下,“桥联”的化学键具有对特殊环境(如pH、还原环境)的敏感性,能在特定环境下发生快速降解,从而使得亲水疏水组分分离,最终改变由其制备的纳米颗粒的组成,导致纳米颗粒性能的变化或破坏纳米颗粒的结构,从而增强颗粒从内涵体逃逸,或促进药物的释放。这些对肿瘤细胞内特殊的理化微环境敏感的“桥联”两亲性嵌段能解决部分问题,如药物从纳米药物载体在胞内释放的问题,但在肿瘤细胞对纳米药物载体的摄取方面没有作用。
随着桥联化聚合物的发展以及“化学键库”的日益扩大,相关工作逐渐转移至如何改变桥联化学键的组分以实现桥联聚合物细胞外降解,从而克服聚乙二醇对纳米颗粒细胞摄取的阻碍。肿瘤细胞外的肿瘤组织基质特异性微环境主要分为Warburg效应造成的弱酸性环境(pH 6.5-7.0)以及相关与肿瘤发生发展相关特异性表达的酶类物质,而后者更易被利用设计相关桥联聚合物。如在对基质金属蛋白酶2(MMP2)敏感的多肽(XPLG*LAGR9X)末端分别键合聚乙二醇及聚已内酯后形成的桥联化聚乙二醇-九聚精氨酸-聚己内酯嵌段聚合物(PEG-XPLG*LAGR9X-PCL)。但以酶敏感的化学键桥联的聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯嵌段共聚物聚合物载体的实际应用效果并不理想。载体体系的药效缺乏重复性和普适性。此外,这类桥联聚合物的合成工艺通常反应效率低,重复性差,在扩大合成方面不具备可实施性。
实体瘤内部环境呈现弱酸性(pH 6.5-7.0),而纳米颗粒在内吞进入肿瘤细胞后还要经历内涵体/溶酶体中酸性更强的环境(pH 5.0-5.5),氢离子与化学键的结合速度要远高于酶与多肽化学键的结合,以具备pH响应性的化学键构建桥联聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯嵌段聚合物的应用范围将更为实际和广泛。然而,由于肿瘤细胞内外上述pH值与正常生理环境的pH值相差较小,这对“桥联”化学键的设计和响应敏感度提出了更苛刻的要求。因此,本发明重点旨在提供一类肿瘤基质和细胞内pH响应酰胺键桥联的聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯嵌段共聚物嵌段聚合物,作为小分子化疗药物和核酸
药物输送载体,其能在肿瘤基质和细胞内pH环境下发生特异降解,改变纳米颗粒结构,增强肿瘤细胞对纳米颗粒的摄取,提高细胞内药物含量,进而最终提高药物治疗效果。

本发明还提供了一种通过将嵌段共聚物在水中制备成纳米颗粒,负载疏水性药物从而形成纳米药物输送体系的方法。
本发明所述制备方法是将聚ε-己内酯、聚乳酸或聚乳酸乙醇酸与聚乙二醇形成的桥联嵌段共聚物在与水不互溶的有机相中溶解,与水在超声条件下进行乳化(0℃,50-200W,30-120s),从而制备纳米颗粒;同时,如在有机相中加入疏水性药物,可以完成对药物的包载,且包载效率稳定、重复性好。所述有机相为二氯甲烷、氯仿、乙酸乙酯,但不局限于此范围;所述疏水性药物为紫杉醇、多西紫杉醇、去盐酸化阿霉素、全反式维甲酸、羟基喜树碱等中的一种或多种,但不局限于此范围。
本发明提供了通过将嵌段共聚物在水中制备成纳米颗粒,负载亲水性小干扰RNA(siRNA)从而形成纳米药物输送体系的方法。
所述合成方法是将聚ε-己内酯、聚乳酸或聚乳酸乙醇酸与聚乙二醇形成的桥联嵌段共聚物和阳离子脂质在与水不互溶的有机相中溶解,与siRNA水溶液初乳化(0℃,50-200W,30-120s),再与水进行第二次乳化(0℃,50-200W,30-120s),除去有机相后,即可得到高效包载siRNA的纳米颗粒。所述有机相为二氯甲烷、氯仿、乙酸乙酯,但不局限于此范围;所述阳离子脂质可以为N,N-二羟乙基-N-甲基-N-2-(胆固醇氧羰基氨基)乙基溴化铵和溴化三甲基-2,3-二油酰氧基丙基铵,但不局限于此范围。
本发明由聚ε-己内酯、聚乳酸或聚乳酸乙醇酸与聚乙二醇形成的桥联嵌段共聚物,其聚乙二醇嵌段的稳定性与环境的pH条件有关,利用此性质,本发明所制备得到的纳米载体可用于针对肿瘤组织的体内药物输送。在血液循环过程中(pH 7.4,PEG稳定存在)借助聚乙二醇对纳米颗粒的保护作用,可以较好地延长携载药物的循环时间,提高药物生物利用度,降低药物的体内毒性;而当纳米颗粒进入肿瘤组织(pH 6.0-6.5)或肿瘤细胞(pH 5.0-5.5)后,桥联酰胺键响应性降解,PEG会从纳米颗粒表面脱落,纳米载体的结构被破坏,细胞摄取或药物释放能力显著提高,从而克服传统非桥联聚合物在药物输送过程中面临的数重障碍,增加在肿瘤细胞内的活性分子含量,达到更强的肿瘤细胞增殖抑制。因此,与目前临床
或基础研究领域广泛采用的游离药物相比,本发明的桥联化聚合物可有望提高其疗效并降低毒副作用。
此外,本发明涉及的桥联化聚合物的性质能够通过调节聚合物组分、亲疏水嵌段的分子量来进行调节,反应原料易得,反应条件温和,工艺简便,有利于放大化和批量生产。
本发明得到了针对肿瘤组织或肿瘤细胞内特定pH响应化学键桥联的聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯嵌段共聚物,可用于小分子药物或大分子核酸药物的包载及其体内输送。与传统的聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯嵌段聚合物相比,本发明设计的桥联聚合物在颗粒稳定性、体外药物释放、血液循环等方面有相同性能,但能够借助肿瘤组织或细胞内特异性pH调控纳米颗粒表面的PEG程度,增强细胞摄取和胞内药物释放,进一步提高药物疗效。本发明为了合成得到桥联聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯嵌段共聚物,使用的聚合反应条件温和,来源易得,反应后纯化过程简便;该类聚合物组装形成纳米颗粒后,对肿瘤微环境的响应速度快,能显著提高抗肿瘤药效。

实施例一:端基为甲基马来酸酐的PEG衍生物的合成
端基为甲基马来酸酐的PEG衍生物的化学结构及合成路线如附图1所示。
在0℃下,将CDM(1.840g,0.010mol)在无水二氯甲烷(20mL)中完全溶解,依次加入N,N-二甲基甲酰胺(50μL)和草酰氯(3.810g,0.030mol),反应10min后,25℃下继续反应1h。使用旋转蒸发仪除去二氯甲烷,在15.0Pa下蒸馏除去N,N-二甲基甲酰胺,获得中间产物酰氯化CDM(1.96g,产率97%)。
将mPEG(或PEG)、吡啶、酰氯化CDM在0℃下按1.0∶6.0∶3.0
的摩尔比例依次加入到干燥二氯甲烷(聚合物浓度为0.1M)中搅拌溶解,在0℃下反应30min后转入25℃继续反应2h。反应结束后,加入与CH2Cl2等体积的饱和NH4Cl溶液,充分萃取后收集有机相,将无水MgS04干燥后的有机相使用旋转蒸发仪浓缩,并在0℃下用无水乙醚沉淀,真空干燥固体至恒重。
对上述合成得到的端基为甲基马来酸酐的PEG衍生物进行核磁共振氢谱(1H NMR)分析,测定其分子结构,1H NMR谱见图2。对上述端基为甲基马来酸酐的PEG衍生物进行核磁共振碳谱(13C NMR)分析,以对其分子结构进行进一步确认,13C NMR见图3。核磁共振氢谱对不同分子量的端基为甲基马来酸酐的PEG衍生物进行表征,结果见图4。
图2(A)中,字母a所示信号归属于聚乙二醇单甲醚末端甲基的质子氢,位于3.67ppm处的信号峰b则归属于聚乙二醇骨架-CH2CH2O-的质子氢。由于CDM的键合,c、d均为新出现的信号峰,其中c归属于CDM中的两个亚甲基的质子氢;而d则归属于CDM中甲基的的质子氢。CDM的键合效率通过3.67ppm的信号峰与2.13ppm处的信号峰的积分面积计算得到,反应效率高于98%。
在图2(B)中,由于使用双羟基为末端的聚乙二醇,因此不存在聚乙二醇单甲醚末端甲基的质子氢信号,而其它质子信号则与图2(A)相似,积分面积计算显示CDM的反应效率高于98%。
图3中,端基为甲基马来酸酐的PEG衍生物的所有碳原子均能在13C NMR中找到相应的信号归属。其中,70.4ppm附近信号峰归属于聚乙二醇主链的碳原子,而174.4ppm处的信号峰则是酰氯化反应生成的酯键中碳原子的信号峰,9.8ppm处的信号归属于酸酐取代基中的甲基碳原子,13C NMR的结果进一步证实制备得到的端基为甲基马来酸酐的PEG衍生物结构的正确性。
由图4可见不同分子量的聚乙二醇单甲醚与CDM键合后产物的1H NMR图谱,其各个质子信号峰均与图2(A)相似,证明了该方法可以合成不同分子量的端基为甲基马来酸酐的PEG衍生物。
实施例二:端基为马来酸酐的PEG衍生物的合成

在0℃下,CSM(3.080g,0.020mol)在无水二氯甲烷(35mL)中完全溶解,依次加入N,N-二甲基甲酰胺(45μL)和草酰氯(7.620g,0.060mol),反应10min后,25℃继续反应1h。使用旋转蒸发仪除去二氯甲烷,在15.0Pa下蒸馏除去N,N-二甲基甲酰胺,获得酰氯化CSM(3.420g,产率91%)。
将mPEG(或PEG)、吡啶、酰氯化CSM在0℃下按1.0∶6.0∶3.0的摩尔比例依次加入到干燥二氯甲烷(mPEG或PEG浓度为0.1M)中搅拌溶解,在0℃下反应30min后转入25℃继续反应2h。反应结束后,加入与CH2Cl2等体积的饱和NH4Cl溶液,充分萃取后收集有机相,将无水MgSO4干燥后的有机相使用旋转蒸发仪浓缩,并在0℃下用无水乙醚沉淀,真空干燥固体至恒重。
对上述合成得到的端基为马来酸酐的PEG衍生物进行1H NMR分析,测定其分子结构,1H NMR谱见图6。对上述端基为马来酸酐的PEG衍生物进行13C NMR分析,以对其分子结构进行进一步确认,13C NMR见图7。核磁共振氢谱对端基为马来酸酐的不同分子量的PEG衍生物进行表征,结果见图8。
图6(A)中,字母a所示信号峰归属于聚乙二醇单甲醚末端甲基的质子氢,位于3.65ppm处的单峰b则归属于聚乙二醇骨架-CH2CH2O-的质子氢。由于CSM的键合,c,d,e均为新出现的信号峰,其中d归属于CSM中的两个亚甲基质子氢;而e则归属于马来酸酐中的质子。CSM的键合效率通过3.65ppm的信号峰与2.74ppm处的多重峰的积分面积计算得到,反应效率高于97%。
在图6(B)中,由于使用双羟基聚乙二醇,因此不存在聚乙二醇单甲醚末端甲基的质子氢,而其它质子信号则与图6(A)一致,积分面积计算显示CSM的键合效率高于98%。
图7中,端基为马来酸酐的PEG衍生物的所有碳原子均能在13C NMR中找到相应的归属。其中,70.3ppm附近信号峰归属于聚乙二醇主链的
碳原子,而174.1ppm处的信号峰则是酰氯化反应生成的酯键中碳原子的信号峰,与核磁共振氢谱对应的是在9.8ppm处归属于CDM分子酸酐取代基中的甲基碳原子的信号并未出现,13C NMR的结果进一步证实制备得到的端基为马来酸酐的PEG衍生物结构的正确性。
由图8可见不同分子量的聚乙二醇单甲醚与CSM键合后产物1H NMR谱,其各个质子信号峰均与图6(A)相似,证明了该方法可以合成不同分子量的端基为马来酸酐的PEG衍生物。
实施例三:α-PEG-β-甲基-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸的合成
α-PEG-β-甲基-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸的化学结构及合成路线如附图9所示,所得产物表示为mPEG-Dlinkm-OH或HO-Dlinkm-PEG-Dlinkm-OH。
在25℃下,将端基为甲基马来酸酐的PEG衍生物与6-氨基-1-己醇共同在无水CH2Cl2中完全溶解搅拌反应(聚合物浓度为0.1M,6-氨基-1-己醇与聚乙二醇羟基摩尔量为3∶1)。反应12h后,连续加入饱和NaCl溶液进行两次萃取,收集有机相,在0℃下用过量的无水乙醚进行沉淀,减压抽滤后,真空干燥固体至恒重。
对上述合成得到的α-PEG-β-甲基-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸进行1H NMR分析,测定其分子结构,1H NMR谱见图10。对上述α-PEG-β-甲基-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸进行13C NMR分析,以对其分子结构进行进一步确认,13C NMR见图11。核磁共振氢谱对不同分子量的α-PEG-β-甲基-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸进行表征,结果见图12。
图10(A)中,字母a-k标记了所有核磁氢谱中的信号峰,并依次归属对应产物的各个质子信号。由于6-氨基-1-己醇的引入,3.23ppm以及1.30-1.60ppm处发现新的质子信号并能正确归属于反应后的6-氨基-1-己醇的质子;而原有端基为甲基马来酸酐的PEG衍生物在2.13ppm处酸酐基团中甲基的单信号峰,则由于酸酐环状结构打开而在1.85ppm及1.94ppm处出现两个信号峰,证明了开环反应的成功进行。6-氨基-1-己醇与酸酐基团的反应效率则通过3.38ppm的聚乙二醇单甲醚的甲基信号峰与1.30-1.60ppm处的多重峰的积分面积计算得到,证实开环反应的效率大于96%。
在图10(B)中,由于使用双羟基聚乙二醇,因此不存在单甲醚聚乙二醇单甲醚末端甲基的质子氢信号,而其它质子信号则与图10(A)一致,积分面积计算显示马来酸酐的开环效率高于96%。
图11中,α-PEG-β-甲基-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸的所有碳原子均能在13C NMR中找到相应的归属。其中,71.2ppm附近信号峰归属于聚乙二醇主链的碳原子,而173.9ppm处的峰则是酰氯化反应生成的酯键中碳原子的信号峰,7.9ppm处归属于酸酐取代基中的甲基碳原子的信号,20.0-40.0ppm处的新出现的信号归属于6-氨基-1-己醇中部分亚甲基碳原子,13C NMR的结果进一步证实制备得到的α-PEG-β-甲基-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸结构的正确性。
由图12可见不同分子量的α-PEG-β-甲基-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸的1H NMR谱,其各个质子信号峰均与图10(A)相似,证明了该方法对合成不同分子量的α-PEG-β-甲基-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸均适用。
实施例四:α-PEG-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸的合成
α-PEG-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸的化学结构及合成路线如附图13所示,所得产物表示为mPEG-Dlink-OH或HO-Dlink-PEG-Dlink-OH。
在25℃下,将端基为马来酸酐的PEG衍生物与6-氨基-1-己醇共同在无水CH2Cl2中完全溶解搅拌反应(聚合物浓度为0.1M,6-氨基-1-己醇与聚乙二醇羟基摩尔量为3∶1)。反应12h后,连续加入饱和NaCl溶液进行两次萃取,收集有机相,在0℃下用过量的无水乙醚进行沉淀,减压抽滤后,真空干燥固体至恒重。
对上述合成得到的α-PEG-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸进行1H NMR分析,测定其分子结构,1H NMR谱见图14。对上述α-PEG-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸进行13C NMR分析,以对其分子结构进行进一步确认,13C NMR见图15。核磁共振氢谱对不同分子量的α-PEG-β-甲基-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸进行表征,结果见图16。
图14(A)中,字母a-k标记了所有核磁氢谱中的信号峰,并依次归属对应产物的各个质子。由于6-氨基-1-己醇的引入,3.24ppm以及1.20-1.80ppm处发现新的质子信号并能正确归属于反应后的6-氨基-1-己醇的质子。6-氨基-1-己醇与酸酐基团的反应效率则通过3.37ppm的聚乙
二醇单甲醚的甲基信号峰与1.20-1.80ppm处的多重峰的积分面积计算得到,证实开环反应的效率大于96%。
在图14(B)中,由于使用双羟基聚乙二醇,因此不存在聚乙二醇单甲醚末端甲基的质子氢,而其它质子信号则与图14(A)一致,积分面积计算显示马来酸酐的开环效率高于96%。
图15中,α-PEG-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸的所有碳原子均能在13C NMR中找到相应的归属。其中,71.1ppm附近信号峰归属于聚乙二醇主链的碳原子,而173.9ppm处的峰则是酰氯化反应生成的酯键中碳原子的信号峰,20.0-40.0ppm处的信号可归属于6-氨基-1-己醇中部分亚甲基碳原子。与图11相比,7.9ppm处归属于酸酐取代基中的甲基碳原子的信号消失,13C NMR的结果进一步证实制备得到的端基为马来酸酐的PEG衍生物结构正确。
由图16可见不同分子量的α-PEG-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸1H NMR图谱,各个质子信号峰均与图14(A)相似,证明了该方法对合成不同分子量的α-PEG-6-羟己基马来酰胺酸均适用。
实施例五:可酸催化水解酰胺键Dlinkm桥联的聚乙二醇-Dlinkm-聚乳酸共聚物的合成
可酸催化水解酰胺键Dlinkm桥联的聚乙二醇-Dlinkm-聚乳酸共聚物的化学结构及合成路线如附图17所示。

实施例十:纳米颗粒降解测定
在弱酸性环境下,如图39A所示,可酸水解化学键Dlinkm或Dlink中的酰胺键会发生降解,生成两组均聚物,分别为聚乙二醇和相应的脂肪族聚酯。本实施例在不同pH条件下通过定量分析降解后得到的聚乙二醇,对Dlinkm或Dlink化学键的酸敏感性进行检测。本实施例中的单乳化纳米
颗粒制备方法如实施例九所示,选取组分为mPEG113-Dlinkm-PDLLA42、mPEG113-Dlinkm-PDLLA71、mPEG113-Dlinkm-PDLLA142和mPEG113-Dlink-PDLLA140。
采用单乳化方法制备纳米颗粒后,利用磷酸盐缓冲液调节颗粒溶液pH至5.50、6.50和7.40(磷酸盐缓冲液浓度为20mM),将溶液在37℃、60rpm转速下处理,在不同的时间间隔,将含有100mg纳米颗粒的磷酸盐缓冲溶液取出,100000g离心30min后,将上层液体冻干,通过高效液相色谱检测其PEG释放量,结果见图39。
由图39可见,在pH 6.5条件下,Dlinkm桥联的嵌段聚合物在24h内约有超过50%的PEG分子被释放,而在对照条件下(pH 7.4)仅有不足20%的释放量;与此同时,Dlink桥联两嵌段聚合物在模拟胞内环境的pH 5.5条件下同样响应性地释放了大于60%的PEG分子,证明了两种酸水解化学键桥联的聚乙二醇脂肪族聚酯组装形成的纳米颗粒能够在不同的肿瘤微环境刺激下,相对快速地释放PEG分子。
实施例十一:纳米颗粒在微酸性环境下降解PEG以增强细胞摄取
在本实施例中,通过流式细胞术检测细胞对于RhoB标记的纳米颗粒的摄取情况来研究酸性环境下降解PEG前后纳米颗粒的行为。本实施例以mPEG113-Dlinkm-PDLLA142和mPEG113-b-PDLLA140制备荧光标记纳米颗粒,制备方法如实施例九所述,颗粒命名为Dm-NPPDLLA和NPPDLLA。
在24孔板中种入5×104个MDA-MB-231细胞,加入0.5mL的Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle Medium(DMEM)完全培养基,置于CO2培养箱中培养过夜,吸去旧的培养基,向每个孔中加入含有Dm-NPPDLLA以及NPPDLLA的新鲜培养基溶液(pH 6.5和7.4分别处理不同时间),于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养2h。实验结束后,将细胞消化用PBS洗涤两遍并用1%多聚甲醛溶液重悬(200μL),用流式细胞分析仪(Becton Dickinson)进行检测,其结果如图40。
由图40可见,对于NPPDLLA而言,由于在两种不同pH条件下,其纳米颗粒组分不存在变化,因此其摄取行为没有明显区别;而对于Dm-NPPDLLA,其在pH 7.4条件下的细胞内吞量与NPPDLLA相比有少量增加,
但在pH 6.5条件下细胞摄取行为明显增强,参考实施例十中纳米颗粒的降解行为,认为在模拟肿瘤环境的pH条件下的颗粒降解下调了纳米颗粒表面PEG密度,解决了PEG对颗粒摄取的障碍。
实施例十二:单乳化纳米颗粒在体内的循环情况
在本实施例中,通过高效液相色谱检测纳米颗粒在小鼠血液中的循环情况,研究酸水解化学键桥联的嵌段共聚物组装形成的纳米颗粒与非酸水解化学键桥联的嵌段共聚物组装形成的纳米颗粒的血液循环性能。荧光标记的颗粒制备方法如实施例九所述。在本实施例中,聚合物组分选取为mPEG113-Dlinkm-PDLLA142和mPEG113-b-PDLLA140,制备得到的纳米颗粒记为Dm-NPPDLLA和NPPDLLA。
本实施例在ICR小鼠体内进行,首先通过尾静脉注射Dm-NPPDLLA以及NPPDLLA,RhoB的每次给药剂量为60μg。在注射后不同时间点经眼底静脉丛摘取血,得到的血液样本在加入肝素钠后10000rpm离心5min获取血浆,将血浆通过有机溶剂萃取并经高效液相色谱检测分析其中RhoB的含量,结果见图41。由图可见,Dm-NPPDLLA以及NPPDLLA两种纳米颗粒在血液中的循环情况基本一致,没有显著性差异,说明在体内循环过程中PEG层能够保护纳米颗粒,延长血液循环时间。
实施例十三:纳米颗粒携载化疗药物对乳腺癌生长的抑制
在本实施例中,使用MDA-MB-231原位乳腺癌小鼠肿瘤模型,模型建立具体过程如下:在DMEM完全培养基中培养MDA-MB-231细胞,在建立模型前6小时用无血清DMEM培养细胞,胰酶消化,经过1000rpm离心收集细胞,用PBS重悬细胞使细胞密度达到2×107cells/mL。将100μL细胞悬液注射在裸鼠右侧第二个乳腺中。本实施例以mPEG113-b-PDLLA72、mPEG113-Dlinkm-PDLLA70和mPEG113-Dlink-PDLLA75以及制备载药纳米颗粒,制备方法如实施例九所述,颗粒命名为NPPDLLA/DTXL、Dm-NPPDLLA/DTXL以及D-NPPDLLA/DTXL。
原位注射乳腺癌细胞的裸鼠在SPF级动物房中饲养7天左右可以形
成可见肿瘤。肿瘤的体积按照公式:V=0.5*a*b*b计算,其中a是指肿瘤较长的直径,b是指肿瘤较短的直径。在裸鼠的肿瘤体积达到60mm3左右开始进行治疗,将接种了MDA-MB-231肿瘤的20g裸鼠按照下述处理方式分为5组,每组5只裸鼠。分别使用200uL PBS、200μL溶解70μg的PBS溶液、200μL NPPDLLA/DTXL的PBS溶液、200μL Dm-NPPDLLA/DTXL和200μL D-NPPDLLA/DTXL的PBS溶液,其中纳米颗粒所包载的DTXL量为70μg。每7天为一个治疗周期共进行三次给药,每3天测量一次肿瘤体积。图42显示了肿瘤生长情况,图中的纵坐标为测量得到的肿瘤体积相对治疗第一天肿瘤体积的比例。从图中可以看出,PBS以及低剂量的DTXL对肿瘤的生长没有抑制作用。相比于无法降解的聚乙二醇-聚乳酸组装形成的NPPDLLA/DTXL,Dm-NPPDLLA/DTXL以及D-NPPDLLA/DTXL载药纳米胶束抑制MDA-MB-231乳腺癌的效果更强。
实施例十四:Dlinkm桥联的聚乙二醇-Dlinkm-聚乳酸共聚物制备的纳米颗粒在不同pH条件下的siRNA释放测定
本实施例选取mPEG113-Dlinkm-PLGA161/54和mPEG113-b-PLGA165/56,在双乳化方法下(实施例9)辅以BHEM-Chol制备携载FAM-siNC的纳米颗粒,分别命名为Dm-NPPLGA/FAM-siNC和NPPLGA/FAM-siNC。将纳米颗粒溶液分别用pH为5.50、6.50和7.40的缓冲溶液稀释至5mL(10mg/mL),37℃、60rpm下培养。在不同时间间隔,取100μL纳米颗粒溶液,离心2h(20000g),高效液相色谱检测上层清液中FAM-siNC含量,结果见图43。
由图43可见,在pH 7.4三种条件下,Dm-NPPLGA/FAM-siNC和NPPLGA/FAM-siNC两种纳米颗粒的siRNA释放行为基本一致。在偏酸环境下(pH 6.5和pH 5.5),两种纳米颗粒的siRNA释放量在40%-60%,Dm-NPPLGA/FAM-siNC的siRNA释放略快于NPPLGA/FAM-siNC,说明Dlinkm桥联的聚乙二醇-Dlinkm-聚乳酸乙醇酸共聚物制备的纳米颗粒与非酸水解化学键桥联的聚乙二醇脂肪族聚酯组装形成的纳米颗粒在细胞内外多种pH条件下对siRNA具有相似的释放行为。此外,在24h时有一半的siRNA释放出来,有利于快速沉默胞内基因表达。
实施例十五:聚乙二醇-脂肪族聚酯纳米颗粒在微酸性环境下增强细胞摄取
在本实施例中,分别通过半定量流式细胞术、定量高效液相色谱和定性激光共聚焦显微镜分别检测观察细胞对于包载Cy5-siNC的纳米颗粒的摄取情况。本实施例选取mPEG113-Dlinkm-PLGA161/54和mPEG113-b-PLGA165/56,在双乳化方法下辅以BHEM-Chol制备携载Cy5-siNC的纳米颗粒,分别命名为Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC和NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC。
首先通过流式细胞术半定量检测酸性环境下细胞对纳米颗粒的摄取情况。在24孔板中种入5×104个MDA-MB-231细胞,加入0.5mL的DMEM完全培养基,置于CO2培养箱中培养过夜。吸去旧的培养基,向每个孔中加入含有Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC和NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC的新鲜培养基溶液(pH 6.5和7.4分别处理不同时间),于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养4h。实验结束后,将细胞消化用PBS洗涤两遍并用4%多聚甲醛溶液重悬(200μL),用流式细胞分析仪(Becton Dickinson)进行检测,其结果如图44。由图44可见,对于NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC,由于在两种不同pH条件下,其纳米颗粒组分不存在变化,因此其摄取行为没有明显区别;而对于Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC,其在pH 7.4条件下的细胞内吞量与NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC相比有少量增加,但在pH 6.5条件下细胞摄取行为明显增强,可以认为在模拟肿瘤环境的pH条件下的颗粒降解下调了纳米颗粒表面PEG密度,增强了细胞对于携载siRNA纳米颗粒的摄取。
通过高效液相色谱定量检测酸性环境下降解PEG前后细胞对纳米颗粒的摄取情况。在6孔板中种入2×105个MDA-MB-231细胞,加入2mL DMEM完全培养基,置于CO2培养箱中培养过夜,吸去旧的培养基,向每个孔中加入含有Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC和NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC的新鲜培养基溶液(pH 6.5和7.4分别处理),于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养4h。实验结束后,将细胞消化用PBS洗涤两遍后裂解细胞,通过高效液相色谱检测胞内摄取的Cy5-siNC含量,其结果如图45。由图45可见,对于NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC而言,在pH 7.4和pH 6.5条件下,每百万细胞的Cy5-siNC内吞量都在15pmol左右;而对于Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC,经过pH 6.5条件处理,其每百
万细胞的Cy5-siNC内吞量由pH 7.4条件下的16pmol上升到25pmol,这一结果也表明在模拟肿瘤酸性环境下的Dlinkm桥联的聚乙二醇-Dlinkm-聚乳酸共聚物制备的纳米颗粒能够增强细胞的摄取。
通过激光共聚焦定性检测酸性环境下降解PEG前后细胞对纳米颗粒的摄取情况。在24孔板中放入细胞爬片,种入5×104个MDA-MB-231细胞,加入0.5mL的DMEM完全培养基,置于CO2培养箱中培养过夜,吸去旧的培养基,向每个孔中加入含有Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC以及NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC的新鲜培养基溶液(pH 6.5和7.4分别处理不同时间),于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养4h。实验结束后,用4%多聚甲醛溶液固定细胞,0.1%Triton X-100穿膜后通过Alexa Fluor 488标记细胞骨架,DAPI标记细胞核,通过激光共聚焦(蔡司LSM 710)进行观察,其结果如图46。由图46可见,Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC组细胞内的Cy5荧光信号明显强于NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC,这也间接证明了在模拟肿瘤酸性环境下的颗粒降解了PEG后能够增强细胞对颗粒的摄取。此外,细胞内两种颗粒的都是均匀分布在细胞质,胞内定位没有明显差异。
实施例十六:Dlinkm桥联的聚乙二醇-Dlinkm-聚乳酸乙醇酸共聚物制备的包载小干扰RNA的纳米颗粒在微酸性环境下对乳腺癌细胞PLK1基因mRNA表达的抑制

在6孔板中种入2×105个MDA-MB-231细胞,加入2mL的DMEM完全培养基,置于CO2培养箱中培养过夜,吸去旧的培养基,向每个孔中分别加入含有Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1、NPPLGA/siPLK1,以及包载对照siRNA的纳米颗粒Dm-NPPLGA/siNC、NPPLGA/siNC新鲜培养基溶液(培养基的pH值分
别设置为6.5和7.4),于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养6h,吸去包含纳米颗粒的培养基,更换为新鲜培养基,继续于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养24h。实验结束后,将细胞消化用PBS洗涤两遍,然后使用Takara公司RNAisoplus提取细胞总RNA,通过定量PCR的方法检测PLK1 mRNA表达水平的变化,其结果如图47。
由图47可见,pH 7.4条件下,由于Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1纳米颗粒未发生大量的PEG降解,与NPPLGA/siPLK1的表面PEG密度没有明显差异,因此Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1和NPPLGA/siPLK1对细胞PLK1 mRNA表达的抑制水平没有显著差异;而pH 6.5条件下,由于Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1纳米颗粒在微酸性环境下降解PEG以增强细胞摄取,因此Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1对细胞PLK1 mRNA表达的抑制强于NPPLGA/siPLK1,与对照组相比,PLK1 mRNA的表达量仅在20%。
实施例十七:Dlinkm桥联的聚乙二醇-Dlinkm-聚乳酸乙醇酸共聚物制备的包载小干扰RNA的纳米颗粒在微酸性环境下对乳腺癌肿瘤细胞PLK1基因蛋白表达的抑制
在本实施例中,通过蛋白质印迹法(Western blot)的方法检测细胞摄取包载PLK1 siRNA的纳米颗粒后PLK1蛋白表达水平变化来研究酸性环境下降解PEG前后纳米颗粒摄取对PLK1表达水平的影响。包载PLK1 siRNA的纳米颗粒的制备方法如实施例九所述,选取组分为mPEG113-Dlinkm-PLGA161/54和mPEG113-b-PLGA165/56,制备得到颗粒记为Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1和NPPLGA/siPLK1。
在6孔板中种入2×105个MDA-MB-231细胞,加入2mL的DMEM完全培养基,置于CO2培养箱中培养过夜。吸去旧的培养基,向每个孔中分别加入含有Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1、NPPLGA/siPLK1以及包载对照siRNA的纳米颗粒Dm-NPPLGA/siNC、NPPLGA/siNC新鲜培养基溶液(培养基的pH值设置为6.5),于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养6h,吸去含有纳米颗粒的培养基,更换为新鲜培养基,继续于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养48h。实验结束后,将细胞消化用PBS洗涤两遍,然后使用碧云天公司NP40蛋白裂解液提取细胞总蛋白,通过Western blot的方法检测PLK1蛋白表达水平的变化,
其结果如图48。
由图48可见,在pH 6.5条件下,与实施例十六中RT-PCR实验结果一致,由于Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1发生降解,增强了细胞摄取和胞内PLK1基因沉默,因此Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1对细胞PLK1蛋白表达的下调强于NPPLGA/siPLK1。
实施例十八:Dlinkm桥联的聚乙二醇-Dlinkm-聚乳酸乙醇酸共聚物制备的包载小干扰RNA的纳米颗粒在微酸性环境下对乳腺癌细胞增殖的抑制
在本实施例中,使用MTT法检测检测细胞摄取包载PLK1 siRNA的纳米颗粒后细胞活力的变化来研究酸性环境下降解PEG前后纳米颗粒摄取对细胞增殖的影响。包载PLK1 siRNA的纳米颗粒的制备方法如实施例九所述,选取组分为mPEG113-Dlinkm-PLGA161/54和mPEG113-b-PLGA165/56,制备得到颗粒记为Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1和NPPLGA/siPLK1。
在96孔板中种入5×103个MDA-MB-231细胞,加入0.1mL的DMEM完全培养基,置于CO2培养箱中培养过夜。吸去旧的培养基,向每个孔中分别加入含有Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1、NPPLGA/siPLK1以及包载对照siRNA的纳米颗粒Dm-NPPLGA/siNC、NPPLGA/siNC新鲜培养基溶液(培养基的pH值设置为6.5)于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养6h,吸去含有纳米颗粒的培养基,更换为新鲜培养基,继续于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养72h。实验结束后,向每个孔中加入25μL 5mg/mL噻唑蓝,于37℃的CO2培养箱中培养2h,向每个孔中加入100μL细胞裂解液,在37℃避光孵育4h,用酶标仪(Bio-rad)进行检测,其分析结果如图49。
由图49可见,在pH 6.5条件下,由于Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1能够更好地诱导PLK1基因沉默,从而造成了细胞增殖能力下降,因此Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1对细胞增殖的抑制能力强于NPPLGA/siPLK1。
实施例十九:Dlinkm桥联的聚乙二醇-Dlinkm-聚乳酸乙醇酸共聚物制备的包载小干扰RNA的纳米颗粒在体内的分布
在本实施例中,通过高效液相色谱定量检测纳米颗粒携载siRNA后在荷瘤小鼠体内各脏器的分布情况。包载Cy5-siNC的颗粒制备方法如实
施例九所述。在本实施例中,聚合物组分选取为mPEG113-Dlinkm-PLGA161/54和mPEG113-b-PLGA165/56,制备得到的纳米颗粒记为Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC和NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC。本实施例使用MDA-MB-231原位乳腺癌小鼠肿瘤模型,模型建立具体过程如实施例十三所述。
通过尾静脉注射Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC以及NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC,Cy5-siNC的给药剂量为0.5OD/injection。注射24h后,处死小鼠,取小鼠各个脏器,萃取组织内的Cy5-siRNA用高效液相色谱检测脏器内的siRNA含量,结果见图50。由图50可见,Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC和NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC两种纳米颗粒在各个脏器都有不同程度的富集,其中在脑、心、肺等器官富集较少,而在肝、肾和脾等与体内代谢清除机制相关的器官富集较多。除肿瘤外的其他脏器中,两种纳米颗粒的富集没有明显差异。而在肿瘤部位,Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC的富集明显高于NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC,说明肿瘤酸性微环境中Dm-NPPLGA/Cy5-siNC降解PEG后增强肿瘤细胞摄取能够增加siRNA在肿瘤部位的富集。
实施例二十:Dlinkm桥联的聚乙二醇-Dlinkm-聚乳酸乙醇酸共聚物制备的包载小干扰RNA的纳米颗粒对乳腺癌肿瘤生长的抑制
在本实施例中,使用MDA-MB-231原位乳腺癌小鼠肿瘤模型,模型建立具体过程如实施例十三所述。本实施例以mPEG113-Dlinkm-PLGA161/54和mPEG113-b-PLGA165/56制备携载PLK1 siRNA的纳米颗粒,制备方法如实施例九所述,颗粒命名为Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1和NPPLGA/siPLK1。
原位注射乳腺癌细胞的裸鼠在SPF级动物房中饲养7天左右可以形成可见肿瘤。肿瘤的体积按照公式:V=0.5*a*b*b计算,其中a是指肿瘤较长的直径,b是指肿瘤较短的直径。在裸鼠的肿瘤体积达到60mm3左右开始进行治疗,将接种了MDA-MB-231肿瘤的20g裸鼠按照下述处理方式分为7组,每组5只裸鼠。按照PLK1 siRNA的给药剂量作为计算标准,实验组设置为:PBS组、Free siPLK1 1mg/kg、NPPLGA/siPLK11mg/kg、Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK11mg/kg、NPPLGA/siPLK10.5mg/kg、Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK10.5mg/kg、Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK10.25mg/kg,通过400uL PBS配置以上药物进行给药。每2天为一个治疗周期共进行10次给药,每2天测量一次肿瘤体
积。图51显示了肿瘤体积的变化,图中的纵坐标为测量得到的肿瘤体积。从图中可以看出,在1mg/kg和0.5mg/kg的给药剂量下,Dm-NPPLGA/siPLK1对肿瘤生长的抑制效果明显优于同等剂量下的NPPLGA/siPLK1。
