Cancer has become one of the major diseases seriously harming human health, and the morbidity and mortality of cancer are high. Chemotherapy continues to be the most widely used treatment currently. However, the existing antitumor drugs have strong killing effect on tumor cells, and can also cause serious damage to normal cells, cause multiple complications and limit the clinical application and development of the antitumor drugs. Currently, nanoparticulate drug delivery vehicles have made tremendous progress in cancer therapy, especially in polymeric prodrug micelles. These polymeric prodrug micelles can passively accumulate in tumor tissues with high stability and prolonged blood circulation time. However, their anti-tumor effect is limited by non-specific targeting and low drug release efficiency in cells. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an environmentally responsive prodrug micelle having specific targeting. The pH and reduction sensitive polymer prodrug micelle can realize controllable drug delivery and release according to the obvious difference between the pH value of tumor cells and normal cells and the concentration of Glutathione (GSH).
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a natural polymer material, can be specifically combined with a CD44 receptor over-expressed on the surface of a tumor cell, HAs no immunogenicity, and can be used as an ideal drug delivery carrier. Therefore, the hyaluronic acid-targeted polymer prodrug micelle with environmental response can realize the specific distribution of the drug among different tissues, and reduce the damage of the drug to normal tissues while achieving the aim of high-efficiency drug delivery.
Podophyllotoxin (PPT) is a lignin compound with natural activity, can effectively inhibit the assembly of tumor cell microtubules, and has remarkable anti-tumor activity. However, due to severe toxic and side effects caused by off-target effects, poor water solubility, and the like, the application of podophyllotoxin in tumor therapy is limited.
The invention starts from hyaluronic acid and podophyllotoxin as raw materials, synthesizes two environment-sensitive prodrugs, namely a pH-sensitive hyaluronic acid-podophyllotoxin prodrug (HA-NH-CO-PPT) and a pH and reduction double-sensitive prodrug (HA-S-S-PPT), can be self-assembled in water to form micelles, is used for treating cancers, and provides technical reference for the delivery and treatment of other similar medicaments.
