In the past decades, polymer-drug conjugates of anticancer agents have gained much attention due to their enhanced aqueous solubility, improved pharmacokinetics, and better drug utilization than their conventional insoluble counterparts. Several polymer-drug conjugates have entered the third phase of clinical trials yet suffer from inherent deficiencies, including uncontrolled drug release and unclear degradation mechanisms. In this study, a pH/reactive oxygen species (ROS) dual-responsive PEG-doxorubicin (DOX) conjugate (denoted as TPD) was synthesized through acyl alkynyl-amine click reaction by PEG dipropiolate (PEGB), amine-terminated thioketal (TKL), and doxorubicin (DOX). Due to the generated ene-amine and thioketal in the backbone, the prepared amphiphilic TPD not only has a high drug loading ratio for photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) but also has the sensitivity to the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) and ROS. Considering the complex conditions of TME, the prepared TPD@Ce6 nanoparticles (NPs) might respond to the relatively low pH and release Ce6 initially, and upon laser radiation, Ce6 produces abundant singlet oxygen (O) to achieve a programmable accelerated release of DOX and more Ce6 at the tumor site. In addition, the NIR fluorescence of DOX could monitor drug delivery and controlled release. The developed TPD@Ce6 NPs can realize the targeted tumor in combination therapy with negligible cytotoxicity on normal tissues.
在过去的几十年中,由于具有增强的水溶性、改善的药代动力学和比其常规不溶性对应物更好的药物利用度,抗癌药物的聚合物 - 药物偶联物引起了广泛关注。几种聚合物 - 药物偶联物已经进入临床试验的第三阶段,但仍存在固有缺陷,包括药物释放不受控制和降解机制不明确。在这项研究中,通过聚乙二醇二丙稀酸酯(PEGB)、端氨基硫缩酮(TKL)和阿霉素(DOX)的酰基炔基-胺点击反应,合成了 pH/活性氧(ROS)双重响应的聚乙二醇-阿霉素(DOX)偶联物(表示为 TPD)。由于在主链中生成了烯-胺和硫缩酮,所制备的两亲性 TPD 不仅具有高的光敏剂氯己定(Ce6)的药物载药率,而且对酸性肿瘤微环境(TME)和 ROS 具有敏感性。考虑到 TME 的复杂条件,制备的 TPD@Ce6 纳米颗粒(NPs)可能对相对较低的 pH 做出响应并最初释放 Ce6,并在激光辐射下,Ce6 产生丰富的单线态氧(O),以实现 DOX 的可编程加速释放和更多的 Ce6 在肿瘤部位。此外,DOX 的近红外荧光可用于监测药物传递和控制释放。所开发的 TPD@Ce6 NPs 可以与正常组织的低细胞毒性结合实现靶向肿瘤的联合治疗。
