纳米粒子在药物传递中的应用

目前,利用纳米粒子传递药物并用于恶性肿瘤组织的靶向识别,进一步提高肿瘤的诊断和治疗水平是一个比较热点的领域,人们期望用制备容易、价格便宜、毒性小的纳米技术来提高肿瘤的治疗效率。然而,由近年的报道来看,所摄入的纳米粒子仅有约0.7%能够到达肿瘤部位,传递效率较低,这无疑加大了治疗应用的难度。本综述中,我们分析了造成纳米粒子靶向药物转运效率较低的原因,包括纳米粒子的转运途径,纳米粒子转运过程中所遇到的屏障,纳米粒子在体内的清除途径等;随后我们介绍了较早应用的聚合物纳米粒子、磁性氧化铁纳米粒子以及目前广泛研究的介孔二氧化硅纳米粒子在药物传递系统构建中的应用情况,还介绍了细胞膜仿生纳米粒子在药物传递系统中的应用;最后,对纳米粒子在药物传递中的研究进行总结和展望。我们希望通过对纳米粒子传递药物的系统研究,进一步促进纳米粒子在药物传递上的研究,加速纳米药物的临床应用。     

二进制蜻蜓算法-直接校正算法优选标样集在小麦粉蛋白质近红外模型传递中的应用

为了实现小麦粉蛋白质含量近红外分析模型的传递,探究二进制蜻蜓算法(Binary Dragonfly Algorithm, BDA)与直接校正算法(Direct Standardization, DS)相结合构成的BDA-DS算法挑选标样集对模型传递结果的影响。以棱光S450光栅型近红外光谱仪为主机,NeoSpectra Micro傅里叶变换型近红外光谱仪为从机,采集了126个小麦粉的近红外光谱,用偏最小二乘回归法建立了主机近红外光谱与小麦粉蛋白质的关联模型。经BDA-DS算法模型传递后,主机模型对从机样品预测决定系数为0.9812,预测标准偏差为0.1838,从机与主机的光谱集合平均马氏距离由22.34下降到1.40,均接近于主机模型精度水平。该研究同时与采用Kennard/Stone(K/S)挑选标样集再结合DS构成的传统K/S-DS算法进行了对比,结果表明：相对于K/S-DS算法,BDA-DS算法挑选出较少的标样集就能表征仪器的差异,有效地提高了主机模型对从机样品的预测精度,为近红外模型传递提供了一种更加有效的标样集选择方法。     

量子点-卟啉纳米复合体系在肿瘤细胞成像中的应用

本文合成了高荧光量子产率、单分散性好的水溶性CdTe量子点(quantum dots,QDs),并与α,β,γ,δ-四(1-甲基吡啶嗡-4-基)卟吩对甲苯磺酸盐(TMPyP)组装成QDs-TMPyP纳米复合物,研究了该复合物检测DNA的机理以及肿瘤细胞成像。结果显示,QDs-TMPyP纳米复合物通过光致电子转移机制检测DNA,当CdTe QDs和CdTe QDs-TMPyP浓度低于1.0μmol/L时,HeLa肿瘤细胞存活率达92%以上,表现出低的细胞毒性。0.2μmol/L CdTe QDs-TMPyP作用于肿瘤细胞时,细胞生长状态良好,对细胞内能谱分析发现细胞内含有Cd和Te原子。CdTe QDs-TMPyP复合物比CdTe QDs更易被HeLa细胞摄取,利用量子点荧光成功实现了细胞核内成像,为宫颈癌细胞药物输送和细胞成像的深入研究打下基础。     

聚酰胺-胺型树枝状大分子及其衍生物在基因传递中的应用

基因治疗通过基因载体将治病基因导入病患的特异细胞以治疗心血管、神经系统疾病和癌症等。寻找安全高效的非病毒基因载体一直是基因治疗以及生物材料领域中的前沿课题。聚酰胺-胺型(PAMAM)树枝状高分子作为一类三维的、结构高度有序的新型载体,由于具有安全性好、易于修饰、携带外源基因容量大等特点,已经引起了广泛的关注。但是另一方面,合成步骤相对繁琐、后期产物纯化困难以及转染效率相对较低等问题限制了这类载体的进一步发展。本文结合本课题组的研究情况,针对如何提高PAMAM的转染效率以及增强其基因传递的靶向性等相关问题,对近几年在PAMAM树枝状分子修饰改性方面所做的一些有意义的工作进行了综述,并对前景进行了展望。     

硼酸亲和整体柱在富集中药活性物质中的应用

以4-乙烯基苯硼酸(VPBA)为功能单体,季戊四醇三丙烯酸酯(PETA)为交联剂,乙二醇和二甘醇为二元致孔剂,通过热引发自由基聚合反应,在毛细管内原位聚合制备得到一种poly(VPBA-co-PETA)毛细管整体柱。所制备的整体柱具有典型的硼酸亲和特性,可以特异性地捕获含有顺二羟基的化合物。在前期实验的基础上,将其用于两种中草药 蒲公英和刺果卫矛中含顺二羟基的小分子活性物质的富集。这两种中药提取物直接用高效液相色谱进行检测时,其活性成分绿原酸等因含量太低而使检测困难或无法检测;经过硼酸亲和整体柱富集后收集洗脱液进行检测,色谱峰响应则显著提高。该结果表明所制备的poly(VPBA-co-PETA)整体柱可以作为富集中药提取物中含顺二羟基活性物质的有效手段。

聚(2-甲基-2-■唑啉)在毛细管电泳分离蛋白质中的应用

毛细管电泳作为一种常见的液相分离技术,因其分析速度快、分离效率高、样品消耗量少等特点,在蛋白质分离分析领域有广泛应用。然而,常用的熔融硅毛细管容易吸附蛋白质,导致电渗流不稳定,分离结果重现性变差;此外,商用毛细管电泳中常用的紫外检测器由于光程短,使得毛细管电泳的检测灵敏度往往不能达到低丰度蛋白质的直接分析要求。因此寻找能够阻止蛋白质吸附、同时能够提高检测灵敏度的涂层是毛细管电泳分离分析蛋白质的重要课题之一。聚(2-甲基-2-■唑啉)(PMOXA)作为一种类肽类亲水性聚合物,具有与抗蛋白质吸附聚合物聚乙二醇类似的亲水性、抗蛋白质吸附性和生物相容性,而且其类肽结构使之具有较聚乙二醇更好的稳定性,因此近年来在生物质传递、药物载体和阻抗蛋白质吸附等领域得到越来越多的应用。该文主要从两个方面对聚(2-甲基-2-■唑啉)在毛细管电泳中的应用进行了阐述。一是利用多巴胺作为黏合层将其涂覆在毛细管内壁作为抗蛋白质吸附涂层,这种涂层不仅能成功分离多种蛋白质的混合物(如溶菌酶、细胞色素C、核糖核酸酶A和α-胰凝乳蛋白酶原A),而且在定量检测奶粉中三聚氰胺、乳铁蛋白的过程中,能阻抗其他蛋白质的非特异性吸附,提...     

Continuous-Flow Chemistry and Photochemistry for Manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients

An active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is any substance in a pharmaceutical product that is biologically active. That means the specific molecular entity is capable of achieving a defined biological effect on the target. These ingredients need to meet very strict limits; chemical and optical purity are considered to be the most important ones. A continuous-flow synthetic methodology which utilizes a continuously flowing stream of reactive fluids can be easily combined with photochemistry, which works with the chemical effects of light. These methods can be useful tools to meet these strict limits. Both of these methods are unique and powerful tools for the preparation of natural products or active pharmaceutical ingredients and their precursors with high structural complexity under mild conditions. This review shows some main directions in the field of active pharmaceutical ingredients’ preparation using continuous-flow chemistry and photochemistry with numerous examples of industry and laboratory-scale applications.     

Effects of Different Processing Methods Based on Different Drying Conditions on the Active Ingredients of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge

Compared to the traditional processing method, fresh processing can significantly enhance the preservation of biologically active ingredients and reduce processing time. This study evaluated the influences of fresh and traditional processing based on different drying conditions (sun drying, oven drying and shade drying) on the active ingredients in the roots and rhizomes of S. miltiorrhiza. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was utilized to determine the contents of six active ingredients in the roots and rhizomes of S. miltiorrhiza. The data were analyzed by fingerprint similarity evaluation, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA). The results suggest that compared to the traditional processing method, the fresh processing method may significantly increase the preservation of biologically active ingredients. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated that among the three drying methods under fresh processing conditions, the shade-drying (21.02–26.38%) method is most beneficial for retaining the active ingredients in the roots and rhizomes of S. miltiorrhiza. Moreover, the fingerprint analysis identified 17 common peaks, and the similarity of fingerprints among samples processed by different methods ranged from 0.989 to 1.000. Collectively, these results suggest novel processing methods that may improve the yield of active ingredients for S. miltiorrhiza and may be implemented for industrial production.

抗肿瘤药物输送系统

大多数小分子抗肿瘤药物均存在水溶性差、给药量大、体内半衰期短等问题,它们经口服或静脉注射给药后,只能通过自由扩散方式进入细胞,往往缺乏选择性,同时,对肿瘤细胞和正常细胞产生细胞毒性,具有较强的毒副作用,甚至对患者造成二次伤害。因此,它们在临床应用上受到很大限制。通过选择适宜的载体材料构筑抗肿瘤药物输送系统（如胶束、凝胶、纳米粒子等）,不仅可以延长小分子抗肿瘤药物的半衰期、降低其毒副作用,而且还可提高其溶解性和生物利用度,因而受到广大科研人员及制药企业的广泛重视。到目前为止,抗肿瘤药物输送系统的发展历史已有60多年,大致可分为传统型、智能型和靶向型三个不同的发展阶段。本文将从这三个不同发展阶段来综述抗肿瘤药物输送系统及其最新的研究进展,并对其未来的发展进行展望。     

Quantitative Determination of Four Potential Genotoxic Impurities in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients in TSD-1 Using UPLC-MS/MS

A novel method of ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed for the identification and quantification of four potential genotoxic impurities (PGIs) in the active pharmaceutical ingredients of TSD-1, a novel P2Y₁₂ receptor antagonist. Four PGIs were named, 4-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid, methyl 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate, ethyl 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate, and isopropyl 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate. Following the International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, this methodology is capable of quantifying four PGIs at 15.0 ppm in samples of 0.5 mg/mL concentration. This validated approach presented very low limits (0.1512–0.3897 ng/mL), excellent linearity (coefficients > 0.9900), and a satisfactory recovery range (94.9–115.5%). The method was sufficient in terms of sensitivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, selectivity, and robustness and, thus, has high practicality in the pharmaceutical quality control of TSD-1.

Evaluation of Ionic Liquids and Ionic Liquids Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Inhibition in Elastase Enzyme Activity

Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) is used as diagnostic biomarker for inflammation/infection. In this work, 10 ionic liquids (ILs) and 11 ionic liquids active pharmaceutical ingredients (ILs-APIs) were tested to evaluate the inhibition effect on the activity of porcine pancreatic elastase enzyme, frequently employed as a model for HNE. The insertion of ionic liquids in some drugs is useful, as the insertion of ILs with inhibitory capacity will also slow down all processes in which this enzyme is involved. Therefore, a spectrophotometric method was performed to the determination of EC₅₀ values of the compounds tested. EC₅₀ values of 124 ± 4 mM to 289 ± 11 mM were obtained, with the most toxic IL for elastase being tetrabutylammonium acetate and the least toxic 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate. Moreover, sodium salicylate (raw material) presented the lower and benzethonium bistriflimide the higher EC₅₀ when compared with all the IL-APIs tested. This work provides significant information about the effect of the studied IL and IL-APIs in elastase enzyme activity.     

Quantitative Analysis of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) Using a Potentiometric Electronic Tongue in a SIA Flow System

An advanced potentiometric electronic tongue and Sequential Injection Analysis (SIA) measurement system was applied for the quantitative analysis of mixtures containing three active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs): acetaminophen, ascorbic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, in the presence of various amounts of caffeine as interferent. The flow‐through sensor array was composed of miniaturized classical ion‐selective electrodes based on plasticized PVC membranes containing only ion exchangers. Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis of the steady‐state sensor array responses, measured in API mixtures prepared by the SIA system permitted a correct quantitative analysis of acetylsalicylic acid and ascorbic acid. Further optimization using multiway PLS fed by dynamic responses without additional feature extraction did not improve significantly the resolution of acetaminophen. Lastly, the chemometric treatment, involving the extraction of dynamic components of the transient response employing the Wavelet transform, the removal of less‐significant coefficients by means of Causal Index pruning and training of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with the selected coefficients, allowed the simultaneous determination of all the three studied APIs, while counterbalancing any interference due to caffeine.     

Application of Modified Bead Cellulose as a Carrier of Active Ingredients

Summary: A new kind of very fine disperse porous bead cellulose is modified by chemical treatments to 2,3-dialdehyde cellulose, carboxymethyl and dihydrogenphosphate cellulose. Model drugs like benzocaine and prazosin are coupled to these modified bead celluloses by covalent and ionic linkage, respectively and compressed to tablets. Compression mixtures with low loaded benzocaine conjugates release with medium rate. Linkage of prazosin cation to the anionic derivatives of bead cellulose leads to fast release of poor soluble ionic drug.
