Compound preparation for treating pulmonary hypertension and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a prescription composition of a compound preparation for treating pulmonary hypertension by injection and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the fields of medicinal preparations and medicament delivery.
Background
Liposomes are widely used for delivery of hydrophobic drugs (such as paclitaxel) and macromolecular drugs (such as proteins and genes) due to a plurality of excellent properties, however, the liposome has limited inner core space which is difficult to deliver two water-soluble drugs simultaneously, and the liposome has low entrapment rate for delivering small-molecule water-soluble drugs and is easy to leak, so that the research on co-delivery of two water-soluble drugs by the liposome is very little. At present, the administration mode of water-soluble chemotherapeutic drugs is mainly oral administration, the bioavailability is difficult to improve, and the subsequent toxic and side effects can damage the normal tissues of a human body and reduce the physiological function of a patient, so the high-efficiency co-delivery of the water-soluble chemotherapeutic drugs is an effective strategy for solving the defects.
Cholesterol is widely present in various organs of the animal body, with the highest levels in brain and nervous tissue, followed by kidney, spleen, skin, liver and bile. Cholesterol has been reported in the literature to target insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R), Toll-like receptor (TLR), and the like. Because the micromolecule drug has low cell-entering efficiency, low encapsulation rate, easy leakage, large oral dosage and low safety, the cholesterol is used for carrying out hydrophobic modification and preparing the prodrug, the micromolecule drug not only can target to a focus part, solve the cell-entering problem and obviously improve the activity of the drug, but also can reduce the toxic and side effect caused by singly using a large amount of water-soluble drug.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) belongs to a group of TGF-beta superfamilies that regulate cell growth and differentiation. The signal channel participates in a plurality of biological processes, such as cell differentiation, proliferation, migration, extracellular matrix remodeling, apoptosis and the like, and plays a promoting role in the development process of diseases such as vascular cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, tumor, hepatic fibrosis, renal fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, leukemia and the like. Therefore, inhibition of the action and activity of TGF-. beta.s may be effective in treating the above-mentioned diseases.
In conclusion, the invention intends to develop a compound preparation system, and the cholesterol-water-soluble drug prodrug is assembled on the outer layer of the liposome carrying the TGF-beta 1 inhibitor, so that the co-delivery of two water-soluble chemotherapeutic drugs is realized, and the inflammatory diseases such as pulmonary hypertension and the like are treated. The compound preparation acts on two targets simultaneously, can realize a spatial synergistic effect, can improve the uptake rate of a water-soluble medicament by an organism, reduce the administration dosage, reduce the toxic and side effects, and can obviously improve the treatment effect.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a prescription composition of a compound preparation for treating pulmonary hypertension and a preparation method thereof. Aims to realize the co-delivery of two water-soluble medicines, breaks through the defects caused by the mass delivery of the water-soluble medicines and is expected to improve the combined treatment index of a plurality of medicines.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
1) cholesterol and dichloroacetic acid are used as raw materials to synthesize the cholesterol-dichloroacetic acid prodrug.
Cholesterol and dichloroacetic acid are used as raw materials, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridine are used as catalysts, and dichloromethane is used as an organic solvent (DCA: Chol: DCC: DMAP ═ 4:1:2:0.095, n/n/n/n). Weighing DCC with the prescription amount, filling the DCC with a dry round-bottom flask, adding DCM under the ice bath condition to completely dissolve the DCC, then adding DCA with the prescription amount, and sealing the flask and stirring in the ice bath for 2 hours. After the end of the time, Chol and DMAP were added, DCM was added until complete dissolution, and the flask was sealed and allowed to react overnight at room temperature. And (3) separating and purifying the cholesterol-dichloroacetic acid prodrug by using column chromatography, wherein the yield of the cholesterol-dichloroacetic acid is 40-75%.
The other water-soluble drugs can be synthesized by the above reaction, i.e. cholesterol and water-soluble drugs are used as reactants, and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylamino are used as catalysts.
The local hydrophilic inner core space of the liposome is difficult to deliver two water-soluble drugs, so that cholesterol is utilized to synthesize a cholesterol-water-soluble drug prodrug to be loaded into a hydrophobic membrane of the liposome; furthermore, it has been reported in the literature that pulmonary hypertension smooth muscle cells highly express insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R), and cholesterol can target IGF2R receptor. In conclusion, the water-soluble drugs are subjected to hydrophobic modification by cholesterol to prepare the prodrug, so that the liposome can co-deliver two water-soluble drugs, the problem that the water-soluble drugs are difficult to enter cells is solved, the toxic and side effects caused by singly using a large amount of water-soluble drugs are reduced, and the prodrug can be used for targeted treatment of related diseases to a certain extent.

Example 6
Application example 1 Compound formulation of Cholesterol prodrug and TGF-. beta.1 inhibitor the in vitro synergistic therapeutic effects of TGF-. beta.1 inhibitor and cholesterol prodrug in this system were investigated. Rat pulmonary artery high pressure smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) in good growth state are digested, centrifuged, counted and resuspended, inoculated into a 96-well plate at the cell density of 5000 cells/well, and placed in a cell culture box for 24 h. Adding 20 μ L of each preparation with different concentrations and 180 μ L of RPMI 1640 culture medium, setting 5 multiple wells for each test group, setting blank well and control well, culturing for 48 hr, adding 20 μ L of MTT (5mg/mL) solution into each well, incubating for 4 hr at 37 deg.C, discarding culture medium in the wells, adding 200 μ L of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to dissolve methyl chloride in the wells

Crystallize, and put 96-well plate on the shaker to shake gently for 10 min. The absorbance at 570nm was measured by a microplate reader, and the Cell viability (Cell viability) was calculated by the following formula.
According to cell viability, the inhibition rate (Fa) of cells was plotted on the abscissa and the combination therapy index (CI) on the ordinate using the CompuSyn software. Wherein abs (treated), abs (untreated) and abs (blank) represent absorbance values for the test, control and blank wells, respectively. Various formulations include Chol-DCA, PFD, Chol-DCA/PFD-pH-lip (CDPs). Chol-DCA was administered at concentrations of 2.5, 4, 5, 8, 10 and 12.5. mu.g/mL for each formulation, with a ratio of PFD concentration added to Chol-DCA concentration of 1.25: 1.
Combination therapy index (CI) is a simple method to quantify the additive, synergistic or antagonistic effect of a combination of multiple drugs, and is commonly used to measure the effect of a combination. When the CI value is equal to 1, the combination of the two medicines shows additive effect; when the CI value is more than 1, the combination of the two medicines shows antagonism; when the CI value is less than 1, the combination of the two drugs shows synergistic effect. The above results show that: for the cytotoxicity inhibition capability of the PASMCs, the CDPs inhibition capability is strongest and is obviously higher than that of free medicines. The compound preparation is proved to be capable of successfully delivering two water-soluble medicines of DCA and PFD, more importantly, the CI values are less than 1 under the condition of higher administration concentration, namely high inhibition rate, and the synergistic effect is shown when Chol-DCA and PFD are combined in a Chol-DCA/PFD-pH-Lips system. The results of the experiment are shown in FIG. 6.
Example 7
The cholesterol prodrug and the TGF-beta 1 inhibitor compound preparation in the example 1 are applied to carry out cholesterol targeting investigation. Rat pulmonary hypertension smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) in good growth state are digested, centrifuged, counted and resuspended, inoculated in a 12-well plate at a cell density of 1 x 10^ 5/well, and placed in a cell incubator for 24 h. The medium in the well plate was discarded, washed three times with pre-cooled PBS, 1mL of Chol solution at 5mg/mL was added and incubated in the incubator for 1h, and the control group was pre-incubated with PBS without Chol for 2 h. After the incubation time was over, the Chol solution was discarded, 900. mu.L of RPMI 1640 medium and 100. mu.L of 6-TAMRA-Chol were added, and the mixture was incubated for 4 hours in a cell incubator. Wherein the final concentrations of 6-TAMRA are 0.5. mu.g/mL, 5. mu.g/mL and 10. mu.g/mL, respectively.
After the incubation time is over, the fluorescent medium in the pore plate is discarded, the cell is washed three times by precooled PBS, 400 mu L of pancreatin digestive cells containing EDTA is added, the digestion is stopped by PBS containing serum, the cell suspension is collected at 1500rpm and 4 ℃, the cell suspension is centrifuged for 3min, the cell is resuspended by 250 mu L of PBS after the PBS is washed three times, and the cell is sieved and detected by a flow cytometer B2 channel.
The results show that after IGF2R receptor is blocked by Chol solution with high concentration, the uptake of 6-TAMRA-Chol by the PASMCs is obviously reduced at the same time, and the influence of the blocking of IGF2R receptor by the Chol incubation in advance is obvious no matter at low concentration or high concentration. The results are shown in FIG. 7.
Example 8
Pharmacodynamic studies were performed using the cholesterol prodrug and TGF- β 1 inhibitor combination formulation of example 1. Each rat was given a subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline (MCT,60mg/kg) three weeks later. Rats meeting the requirements were randomly divided into 5 groups of 6 rats each, and each rat was given intravenous injections of 0.5mL of each type of preparation or physiological saline. The groups include a model group (WT), a Saline group (Saline), a DCA group, a Chol-DCA group and a CDPs group; wherein the administration dose of DCA in each preparation is 1mg/kg, the administration dose of PFD is 5mg/kg, and the administration frequency is 3 d/time and 5 times. After the dosing period, pulmonary artery pressure was measured for each rat and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) was calculated; the rats were then decapped, and the rat hearts removed and the Right Ventricle (RV), left ventricle plus ventricular septum (LV + S) and weighed to calculate the Right Ventricle Hypertrophy Index (RVHI).
The results show that after the drug treatment, the average pulmonary artery pressure and the right ventricular hypertrophy index of the rats suffering from the pulmonary hypertension are reduced, and on the contrary, the mPAP and the RVHI of the model group are higher because the drug is not effectively treated. Among these, the cholesterol-dichloroacetic acid prodrug works best in combination with pirfenidone therapy, i.e., the group of CDPs inhibits mPAP and RVHI. The results show that the active targeting of the cholesterol prodrug is combined with the excellent passive targeting of the liposome, and the effective treatment of pulmonary hypertension can be realized by the combined co-delivery treatment with pirfenidone, and the experimental results are shown in fig. 8.
