Description

一种磁共振成像造影剂及其制备方法与应用 【技术领域】
本发明属于磁共振成像造影剂领域,更具体地,涉及一种磁共振成像造影剂及其制备方法与应用。
【背景技术】
超顺磁性的纳米级四氧化三铁纳米颗粒是一种用于磁共振成像的对比增强剂,在肿瘤的体内临床诊断和预后中已有广泛的应用。超顺磁性的纳米级四氧化三铁纳米颗粒目前主要用于肝癌的体内诊断,肝癌在中国属重大疾病,每年新发病例有35万人次,其致死率在中国高居第二。超顺磁性的纳米级四氧化三铁对比剂已有报道能有助于小于1厘米肿瘤的发现,因此会显著提高现有仅10%的5年肝癌病人生存率。近年来,超顺磁性的纳米级四氧化三铁对比剂被进一步应用于肝脏灶性病变的诊断和脂肪性肝炎以及肝纤维化中免疫库普弗细胞的功能水平。
但是,由于超顺磁性的纳米级四氧化三铁颗粒在体内的滞留和缓慢的代谢转化,存在着铁过载引起的安全性问题。在动物研究中,注射的纳米级四氧化三铁颗粒主要在肝脏和脾脏中滞留,持续累积时间超过3周。即使是美国FDA批准的由Berlex实验室开发的菲立磁纳米级四氧化三铁对比剂(Feridex IV),肝脏和脾脏中的铁含量在注射30天后,依然显著高于正常值。尽管铁过载在健康的模型中对肝功能的损伤很小,但是在肝脏和脾脏中由于持续的铁过载所产生的氧化应激和脂质过氧化产物,却是加重癌症的高风险因素。特别是肝脏是脂质合成和代谢的主要器官,铁过载所导致脂质过氧化产物不仅在非酒精性脂肪肝中加快组织的纤维化进程而导致肝硬化,而且在肝硬化患者会显著提高其在炎症环境中恶化的风险。因此,如何降低纳米级四氧化三铁颗粒在肝脏和脾脏中滞留和铁过载引起的安全性风险,是纳米级四氧化三铁对比剂在临床应用面临的问题。
【发明内容】
针对现有技术的以上缺陷或改进需求,本发明提供了一种磁共振成像造影剂及其制备方法与应用,其目的在于以右旋聚赖氨酸包覆四氧化三铁颗粒,由此解决四氧化三铁颗粒在体内残留的技术问题。
为实现上述目的,按照本发明的一个方面,提供了一种磁共振成像造影剂,所述磁共振成像造影剂为溶液或冻干粉末,包括质量比为1:5~1:15的超顺磁性纳米颗粒以及羟乙基淀粉,所述超顺磁性纳米颗粒的粒径为100nm~140nm,从内至外由四氧化三铁颗粒,柠檬酸层以及表面的右旋聚赖氨酸层构成,所述柠檬酸的质量为所述四氧化三铁颗粒质量的6%~13%,所述右旋聚赖氨酸的质量为所述四氧化三铁颗粒质量的6%~20%;
其中,所述柠檬酸层通过配位和吸附方式包覆于四氧化三铁颗粒表面,用于增加四氧化三铁颗粒在水溶液中的溶解度;所述右旋聚赖氨酸层通过离子键结合于所述柠檬酸层表面,用于降低游离的铁离子浓度,从而减少铁离子对细胞的损伤;所述羟乙基淀粉的平均分子量为110KDa~150KDa,用于增加所述磁共振成像造影剂的溶解性。
优选地,所述造影剂为冻干粉末,还包括质量为所述超顺磁性纳米颗粒10倍~30倍的甘露醇,用于使所述磁共振成像造影剂在低温条件下保存。
优选地,所述造影剂为溶液,其中,超顺磁性纳米颗粒的含量为10-3g/L~102g/L,液态的造影剂较冻干的造影剂使用起来更方便。
优选地,所述右旋聚赖氨酸的质量为所述四氧化三铁颗粒质量的10%~15%,在该质量比下,右旋聚赖氨酸对四氧化三铁包覆更加均匀。
按照本发明的另一方面,提供了一种上述造影剂的制备方法,包括以下步骤:
(1)将原料粉配制为0.04%~0.2%的水溶液,并去除其中的游离铁离子以及小分子化合物;所述原料粉包括质量分数为6%~12%的四氧化三铁 颗粒,0.6%~1.2%的柠檬酸以及86.8%~93.4%的羟乙基淀粉,所述四氧化三铁颗粒的粒径为60nm~75nm,所述柠檬酸包覆于所述四氧化三铁颗粒表面;
(2)以右旋聚赖氨酸的质量为所述四氧化三铁颗粒质量的6%~20%计,加入所述步骤(1)中水溶液体积的0.01倍~0.05倍的0.04%~0.2%的右旋聚赖氨酸溶液,使得右旋聚赖氨酸在溶液中完全分散均匀,并通过离子键结合于所述柠檬酸表面,得到所述磁共振成像造影剂。
优选地,所述原料粉的制备方法为:
(1)取粒径为60nm~75nm的四氧化三铁颗粒、柠檬酸和N,N-二甲基甲酰胺,以1:0.1:10~1:1:100的质量比混合均匀,60℃~90℃加热,直至所述四氧化三铁颗粒完全溶解,且柠檬酸包覆于四氧化三铁颗粒表面;除去团聚的四氧化三铁颗粒,得到四氧化三铁颗粒溶液;
(2)将步骤(1)得到的所述四氧化三铁颗粒溶液、羟乙基淀粉溶液以及N,N-二甲基甲酰胺,以1:0.1:5~1:1:20的质量比混合,在60℃~90℃搅拌反应,直至完全分散均匀,得到原料混合液;其中,羟乙基淀粉溶液的质量分数为5%~20%;
(3)向所述步骤(2)得到的原料混合液中,加入所述原料混合液2倍~5倍溶液体积的甲基叔丁基醚,使得所述原料混合液中的四氧化三铁颗粒和羟乙基淀粉成为沉淀;
(4)离心并干燥所述步骤(3)得到的沉淀后,得到所述原料粉。
优选地,在所述步骤(1)中,利用切向流超滤法去除所述水溶液中的游离铁离子以及小分子化合物。
作为进一步优选地,所述步骤(1)具体为,将所述水溶液置于切向流超滤装置的储存容器中,通过超滤膜块进行切向流过滤纯化,直至所述切向流过滤装置的滤出容器中的液体体积与储存容器中的液体体积为2:1~2:3之间,使得游离铁离子以及小分子化合物去除较为完整,同时不至于造成 原料粉的过多损失,此时收集过滤装置储存容器中的液体。
优选地,在所述步骤(2)之后还包括步骤(3):向所述步骤(2)得到的所述磁共振成像造影剂中加入所述原料粉质量的1倍~2倍的甘露醇混合均匀,除菌并冻干后,得到冻干粉末状的所述磁共振成像造影剂。
按照本发明的另一方面,还提供了一种该造影剂在磁共振成像中的应用以及作为低滞留的铁剂的应用。
总体而言,通过本发明所构思的以上技术方案与现有技术相比,由于右旋聚赖氨酸包覆四氧化三铁颗粒,能够取得下列有益效果:
1、磁共振成像造影剂通过在四氧化三铁颗粒表面包覆右旋聚赖胺酸层,能降低游离的铁离子浓度,有效降低细胞对铁离子的吸附作用,减少了组织损伤;
2、包覆了右旋聚赖胺酸层后的四氧化三铁颗粒不为人体吸收,磁共振成像后能快速代谢,组织残留量低;
3、将本发明的磁共振成像造影剂用于肝脏的磁共振成像,由于组织残留量低,不仅防止了在非酒精性脂肪肝中加快组织的纤维化进程而导致的肝硬化,而且减少了肝硬化患者在炎症环境中恶化的风险;
4、右旋聚赖胺酸具有抗真菌活性,能确保所述磁共振成像造影剂在长期保存状况下的质量;
5、优选将磁共振成像造影剂制备为冻干粉剂,更易于长期保存。

【具体实施方式】
为了使本发明的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及实施例,对本发明进行进一步详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。此外,下面所描述的本发明各个实施方式中所涉及到的技术特征只要彼此之间未构成冲突就可以相互组合。
为实现上述目的,按照本发明的一个方面,提供了一种磁共振成像造影剂,包括质量比为1:5~1:15的超顺磁性纳米颗粒以及羟乙基淀粉,所述超顺磁性纳米颗粒的粒径为100nm~140nm,从内至外由四氧化三铁颗粒,柠檬酸层以及表面的右旋聚赖氨酸层构成,所述柠檬酸吸附于四氧化三铁颗粒表面,所述右旋聚赖氨酸通过离子键与结合于所述柠檬酸表面,所述柠檬酸的质量为所述四氧化三铁颗粒质量的6%~13%,所述右旋聚赖氨酸的质量为所述四氧化三铁颗粒质量的6%~20%,其中,当右旋聚赖氨酸的质量为所述四氧化三铁颗粒质量的10%~15%时,右旋聚赖氨酸对四氧化三铁的包覆效果最为均匀。
所述磁共振成像造影剂为溶液或冻干粉末,当所述造影剂为冻干粉末,还可以在造影剂中加入质量为所述超顺磁性纳米颗粒10倍~30倍的甘露醇,使所述磁共振成像造影剂更便于在低温条件下以粉末状态保存。当所述造影剂为溶液时,超顺磁性纳米颗粒的保存含量为10-3g/L~102g/L。溶液或者冻干粉末状的造影剂具有不同的用途,冻干粉末更便于运输和长期 保存,而溶液使用起来更方便。
上述造影剂的制备方法包括以下步骤:
(1)将原料粉配制为0.04%~0.2%的水溶液,并用切向流超滤法或透析法等方法去除其中的游离铁离子以及小分子化合物;所述原料粉包括质量分数为6%~12%的四氧化三铁颗粒,0.6%~1.2%的柠檬酸以及86.8%~93.4%的羟乙基淀粉,所述四氧化三铁颗粒的粒径为60nm~75nm,所述柠檬酸包覆于所述四氧化三铁颗粒表面;
(2)以右旋聚赖氨酸的质量为所述四氧化三铁颗粒质量的6%~20%计,加入所述步骤(1)中水溶液体积的0.01倍~0.05倍的0.04%~0.2%的右旋聚赖氨酸溶液,使得右旋聚赖氨酸在溶液中完全分散均匀,并通过离子键结合于所述柠檬酸表面,得到所述磁共振成像造影剂,当右旋聚赖氨酸加入量过低时,对四氧化三铁颗粒的包覆不完整,而加入量过高时,则容易使四氧化三铁颗粒过大,从而团聚而产生沉淀;其结合反应时间主要与温度以及反应物的总量有关,当常温下,溶液总质量为2500ml左右时,反应30min即可结合完全;
(3)将该磁共振成像造影剂除菌后直接保存,即得到溶液状的造影剂,冻干后保存,即得到冻干粉状的造影剂;当以冻干粉形式保存时,可先向磁共振成像造影剂中加入原料粉质量的0.5倍~2倍的甘露醇混合均匀,除菌后再冻干后,这样得到的造影剂由于加入了甘露醇,从而在低温条件下具有更长的保存期限,用该方法制备的磁共振成像造影剂按质量百分比的组成成分如下:四氧化三铁2.0%~5.0%,柠檬酸0.2%~0.5%,右旋聚赖胺酸0.2%~5.0%,羟乙基淀粉25%~40%以及甘露醇50%~70%。
其中,步骤(1)中的原料粉按照专利文献CN103316361A的方法制备,其具体步骤为:
(1)取粒径为60nm~75nm的四氧化三铁颗粒、柠檬酸和N,N-二甲基甲酰胺,以1:0.1:10~1:1:100的质量比混合均匀,60℃~90℃加热,直至所 述四氧化三铁颗粒完全溶解,且柠檬酸包覆于四氧化三铁颗粒表面;除去团聚的四氧化三铁颗粒,得到四氧化三铁颗粒溶液;
(2)将步骤(1)得到的所述四氧化三铁颗粒溶液、羟乙基淀粉溶液以及N,N-二甲基甲酰胺,以1:0.1:5~1:1:20的质量比混合,在60℃~90℃搅拌反应,直至完全分散均匀,得到原料混合液;其中,羟乙基淀粉溶液的质量分数为5%~20%,所述羟乙基淀粉的平均分子量为110KDa~150KDa,用于增加所述四氧化三铁颗粒的溶解性;
(3)向所述步骤(2)得到的原料混合液中,加入所述原料混合液2倍~5倍溶液体积的甲基叔丁基醚,使得使得所述原料混合液中的四氧化三铁颗粒和羟乙基淀粉成为沉淀;
(4)离心并干燥所述步骤(3)得到的沉淀后,得到所述原料粉。
其中,所述步骤(1)中用切向流超滤法的具体方法为,将所述水溶液置于切向流超滤装置的储存容器中,通过超滤膜块进行切向流过滤纯化,直至所述切向流过滤装置的滤出容器中的液体体积与储存容器中的液体体积为2:1~2:3之间,此时收集过滤装置储存容器中的液体。其中,滤出容器中的液体越多,则表示切向流过滤纯化的循环次数越多,则滤去铁离子和小分子的程度越彻底,但过多容易造成原料粉中的有效成分有损失;将滤出容器中的液体体积与储存容器中的液体体积为2:1~2:3之间,使得游离铁离子以及小分子化合物去除较为完整,同时不至于造成原料粉的过多损失。
该磁共振成像造影剂的每公斤体重建议使用量按铁含量计为0.2mg~1mg。

肝硬化原位肝癌肿瘤的小鼠动物模型是通过手术移植肝癌肿瘤组织到小鼠的肝硬化肝脏上;模型建立后,准确称取实施例2冻干粉末粒固体150毫克,加入临床用生理盐水5.0毫升,待完全溶解后,依照小鼠体重,按0.5毫克铁每千克体重注射剂量静脉注射所配制的溶液,然后在磁共振仪器上进行T2图像扫描并进行图像分析;磁共振扫描分为注射前,注射后两批 次实验;结果如图3所示。
在注射对比剂之前,如图3a,图3b,肿瘤在磁共振造影中模糊,难以确定肿瘤存在以及其大小;注射使用本发明实施例2提供的R-聚赖氨酸包裹纳米级四氧化三铁冻干粉末所配制的针剂后,如图3c,3d,肿瘤在磁共振造影中T2图像显示了包括肿瘤的位置、边界和大小(如图3中箭头所示);因此,注射使用本发明实施例2提供的R-聚赖氨酸包裹纳米级四氧化三铁冻干粉末所配制的针剂后能有助于发现肝硬化中原位肝癌肿瘤,其成像效果显著。
本发明实施例2提供的R-聚赖氨酸包裹纳米级四氧化三铁冻干粉末所配制的针剂在其他肿瘤模型中的分布分析:
皮下肿瘤的模型是通过手术移植到小鼠的皮下,主要包括胰腺癌和肝癌皮下肿瘤;模型建立后,准确称取实施例2冻干粉末粒固体150毫克,加入临床用生理盐水5.0毫升,待完全溶解后,依照小鼠体重,按0.5毫克铁每千克体重注射剂量静脉注射所配制的溶液,在注射24小时后,将肿瘤组织收集并进行组织切片和普鲁士蓝染色,然后用显微镜拍摄图像进行分析,其结果如图4所示。其中,图4a为胰腺癌皮下肿瘤组织,图4b为肝癌皮下肿瘤组织;箭头所指为普鲁士蓝染色的阳性分布。其结果显示本发明提供的R-聚赖氨酸包裹的纳米级四氧化三铁在皮下肿瘤组织的界面有一定的分布,存在着潜在的应用前景。
本领域的技术人员容易理解,以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已,并不用以限制本发明,凡在本发明的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换和改进等,均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
