Platinum-based chemotherapeutics exhibit excellent antitumor properties. However, these drugs cause severe side effects including toxicity, drug resistance, and lack of tumor selectivity. Tumor-targeted drug delivery has demonstrated great potential to overcome these drawbacks. Herein, we aimed to design radioactive bisphosphonate-functionalized platinum (Pt-BP) complexes to confirm preferential accumulation of these Pt-based drugs in metabolically active bone. In vitro NMR studies revealed that release of Pt from Pt BP complexes increased with decreasing pH. Upon systemic administration to mice, Pt-BP exhibited a 4.5-fold higher affinity to bone compared to platinum complexes lacking the bone-seeking bisphosphonate moiety. These Pt-BP complexes formed less Pt-DNA adducts compared to bisphosphonate-free platinum complexes, indicating that in vivo release of Pt from Pt-BP complexes proceeded relatively slow. Subsequently, radioactive Pt-BP complexes were synthesized using Pt(NO)(en) as precursor and injected intravenously into mice. Specific accumulation of Pt-BP was observed at skeletal sites with high metabolic activity using micro-SPECT/CT imaging. Furthermore, laser ablation-ICP-MS imaging of proximal tibia sections confirmed that Pt BP co-localized with calcium in the trabeculae of mice tibia.
基于铂的化疗药物表现出优异的抗肿瘤特性。然而,这些药物会引起严重的副作用,包括毒性、耐药性和缺乏肿瘤选择性。肿瘤靶向药物递送已被证明具有克服这些缺点的巨大潜力。在此,我们旨在设计放射性双膦酸盐功能化的铂(Pt-BP)配合物,以确认这些基于铂的药物在代谢活跃的骨中优先积累。体外 NMR 研究表明,Pt 从 Pt-BP 配合物中的释放随着 pH 值的降低而增加。在小鼠中系统给药后,与缺乏骨靶向双膦酸盐部分的铂配合物相比,Pt-BP 对骨的亲和力高 4.5 倍。与不含双膦酸盐的铂配合物相比,这些 Pt-BP 配合物形成的 Pt-DNA 加合物较少,表明 Pt 从 Pt-BP 配合物中的体内释放相对较慢。随后,使用 Pt(NO)(en) 作为前体合成放射性 Pt-BP 配合物,并静脉注射到小鼠体内。使用 micro-SPECT/CT 成像观察到在代谢活性高的骨骼部位特异性积累了 Pt-BP。此外,对近端胫骨切片的激光烧蚀-ICP-MS 成像证实,Pt-BP 与小鼠胫骨小梁中的钙共定位。
