Abstract

In this study, we developed a nanoformulation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) for tumor-targeted photodynamic therapy, in which 5-ALA was conjugated with a biocompatible polymer N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) through the hydrazone bond, i.e., P-ALA. P-ALA behaves as the nano-sized molecule with an average size of 5.5 nm in aqueous solution. P-ALA shows a largely increased release rate in acidic pH than physiological pH, suggesting the rapid release profile in acidic tumor environment. P-ALA did not show apparent cytotoxicity up to 0.1 mg/ml, however, under light irradiation, remarkable cell death was induced with the IC50 of 20-30 μg/ml. More importantly, we found significantly higher tumor accumulation of P-ALA than 5-ALA which benefit from its nano-size by taking advantage of the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Consequently, P-ALA exhibited much improved in vivo antitumor efficacy without any apparent side effects. We thus anticipate the application of P-ALA as a nano-designed photosensitizer for anticancer photodynamic therapy.
HPMA共聚物共轭5-氨基乙酰丙酸在光动力治疗中具有优异的肿瘤反应性和靶向性。
在这项研究中,我们开发了一种用于肿瘤靶向光动力治疗的5-氨基乙酰丙酸(5-ALA)纳米配方,其中5-ALA通过腙键与生物相容性聚合物N-(2-羟丙基)甲基丙烯酰胺(HPMA)偶联,即P-ALA。P-ALA在水溶液中表现为纳米级分子,平均尺寸为5.5 nm。P-ALA在酸性pH下的释放速率明显高于生理pH,说明其在酸性肿瘤环境下具有快速释放的特点。当P-ALA浓度达到0.1 mg/ml时,未表现出明显的细胞毒性,但在光照射下,IC50为20 ~ 30 μg/ml,可诱导细胞明显死亡。更重要的是,我们发现P-ALA的肿瘤蓄积量明显高于5-ALA,这得益于其纳米尺寸,利用了增强的渗透性和滞留性(EPR)效应。因此,P-ALA在体内抗肿瘤效果明显提高,且无明显副作用。因此,我们期望P-ALA作为纳米光敏剂用于抗癌光动力治疗。
