磁性纳米颗粒:合成、表面修饰及其在药物传递中的应用

2023-11-3 18:48:15点击:

1. 介绍

磁性纳米颗粒(MNP)由于其生物相容性、易于表面修饰和磁性等特性,在生物医学和工业应用中得到了广泛的关注。磁性纳米颗粒可以以多种方式使用,与一般的纳米颗粒非常相似。然而,这些粒子的磁性增加了一个新的维度,在外部磁场的作用下,它们可以被操纵。这一特性开辟了新的应用,将药物附着在磁性颗粒上,利用磁场在体内靶向。通常,靶向是通过附着一个分子来识别另一个特定于期望目标区域的分子来实现的。这通常需要一种化学识别机制,但并不像设计的那样成功。因此,磁性纳米颗粒可以提供一种将药物运送到人体所需部位的解决方案。

磁性纳米颗粒虽然可能含有其他元素,但通常是氧化铁。最常见的氧化铁有磁铁矿(Fe3O4)、磁赤铁矿(γ-Fe2O3)、赤铁矿(α-Fe2O3)和地长石。根据实验条件的不同,可以形成一种或多种氧化铁相。仔细控制实验条件以确保单相的存在是非常重要的。

在应用中经常遇到的氧化铁纳米颗粒是超顺磁性的。超顺磁性是磁性的一种形式,可以用小的铁磁性或铁磁性纳米颗粒观察到。在足够小的纳米颗粒中,磁化可以在温度的影响下随机翻转纳米颗粒的方向。而超顺磁性纳米粒子的磁化率要比顺磁性纳米粒子大得多。超顺磁性发生在具有单一磁畴的纳米颗粒中,即由单一磁畴组成。在这种情况下,可以认为纳米粒子的磁化是一个单巨磁矩,即纳米粒子原子所携带的所有单个磁矩的总和。当外部磁场作用于超顺磁性纳米粒子时,它们倾向于沿着磁场排列,导致净磁化。然而,在没有外部磁场的情况下,偶极子是随机定向的,并且没有净磁化。最近研究了由多元醇非水均相溶液合成的Fe3O4纳米颗粒磁性能的大小依赖性(Caruntu等人,2007)。在前面提到的氧化铁中,磁铁矿和磁铁矿是超顺磁性的,这些研究将主要集中在作为磁性纳米颗粒的研究中。

本文综述了近年来对磁性纳米颗粒的毒性研究,以说明磁性纳米颗粒的生物相容性。利用MNPs进行靶向药物的研究是非常有前途的,并给出了一些实例。热疗是一种利用磁场提高温度并导致细胞死亡的肿瘤的补充治疗方法,可以使用MNPs实现,并介绍了该领域的一些最新进展。最后,表格总结了用于药物输送应用的不同类型的MNP矩阵。


2. 毒性

磁性纳米颗粒在生物医学应用中引起兴趣的主要原因之一是它们的生物相容性。由于这些颗粒被用作药物传递载体,因此应详细研究它们的细胞毒性。在体外和体内的一些研究表明,这些颗粒对人体具有低毒性。

铁通常通过转铁蛋白运输,它可以结合细胞表面定位的转铁蛋白受体。在细胞质中,大部分的细胞质铁储存在一种叫做铁蛋白的特殊蛋白质中。由于铁的生理相关性,MNPs最初被认为是无细胞毒性的。MNPs可以被自然分解,从而释放出三铁,然后参与正常的铁代谢。然而,人们已经认识到,MNPs的小尺寸可能会造成额外的危害,因为这些颗粒可以在细胞内达到很高的局部浓度,并且通常更难以有效地从体内清除(Rivera等人,2010;Chan et al., 2002)。此外,游离铁与自由基的形成有关,自由基对已经被病理过程削弱的神经组织尤其有害(Winer et al., 2011)。

值得注意的是,在几乎所有的研究中,毒性都显示在一定剂量以上显著增加。尽管MNPs的高负荷(100 μg/mL)会引起细胞毒性,但药物递送应用所需的浓度通常低于适当包被的MNPs的毒性水平(Karlsson等人,2008)。

毒性通常是血清蛋白与MNPs表面结合的结果,改变了细胞所接触的细胞培养基的组成(Mahmoudi等,2009)。包被的纳米颗粒毒性较低,这不仅是因为包被具有生物相容性,还因为介质中蛋白质、离子和其他成分的吸附位点较低(Mahmoudi et al., 2010)。

(B) Schematic drawing of the structure of protein–nanoparticle in blood plasma confirming the existence of various protein binding (e.g. an outerweakly interacting layer of protein (full red arrows) and a hard slowly exchanging corona of proteins (right) (Mahmoudi et al., 2011)


磁铁矿(Fe3O4)和磁铁矿(γ-Fe2O3)由于具有氧化/还原反应的能力而表现出不同的细胞反应。事实上,与磁铁矿相比,在没有降低细胞活力的情况下,在A549人肺上皮细胞系中,磁铁矿已被证明会导致更高水平的氧化性DNA损伤(使用彗星测定法),因为磁铁矿具有氧化的潜力(Karlsson等人,2009;Karlsson et al., 2008)。


其中一个最敏感的毒性参数是纳米颗粒的表面涂层。表面覆盖的程度被认为是细胞摄取的主要参数,因为不完全的表面覆盖被证明可以促进调理作用和快速内吞作用,而完全包裹的MNPs可以逃脱调理作用,从而延长血浆半衰期(Jung et al., 1995)。带负电荷的未包被MNPs已被证明在一定阈值以上表现出细胞毒性。在体内研究中,未包被的MNPs也具有低溶解度,这导致它们在水介质中沉淀,阻碍血管。为了降低MNPs的毒性,使用了不同的涂层。Häfeli等人(Häfeli等人,2009)用聚氧化物(PEO)三嵌段共聚物(PEO- cooh -PEO)涂覆MNPs,发现PEO尾部嵌段长度与毒性呈负相关。PEO尾巴长度在2 kDa以上,适合在体内应用。Mahmoudi等人(Mahmoudi等人,2009)表明,未包覆的颗粒比包覆聚乙烯醇(PVA)的磁铁矿颗粒具有更大的毒性。他们还表明,用表面饱和的未包覆颗粒取代,可以显著降低未包覆颗粒的毒性。用二巯基琥珀酸(DMSA)包覆磁铁矿颗粒几乎可以消除这些颗粒的毒性(Auffan et al., 2006),防止颗粒与人皮肤成纤维细胞直接接触。然而,在另一项使用DMSA包被的磁铁矿颗粒的研究中,开发了一个可量化的细胞系统模型,并表明即使是中等水平的MNPs在细胞间传递也可能对细胞功能产生不利影响(Pisanic et al., 2007)。将磁铁矿颗粒涂覆聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)-聚乙二醇(PEG),并将其毒性与支化PEI涂层进行比较(Schweiger et al., 2011)。引入聚乙二醇被证明具有屏蔽作用,并导致较低的毒性。Lee等人(Lee等人,2011)使用乙二醇双层稳定的磁铁矿纳米颗粒,并证明这些纳米颗粒无毒。磁铁矿颗粒的聚乙二醇涂层也被证明可以降低毒性(Zhou et al., 2011)。


当MNPs被嵌入壳聚糖中以获得磁性壳聚糖颗粒时,由于MNPs被壳聚糖完全覆盖,它们表现出相对较低的细胞毒性(Park等,2005)。

虽然葡聚糖是一种复杂的支链葡萄糖,经常用于医疗应用,但葡聚糖包被的磁铁矿颗粒与未包被的磁铁矿颗粒造成的细胞死亡一样多(Berry et al., 2003)。相反,在一项比较研究中,研究了未包被的磁铁矿、未包被的磁铁矿、葡聚糖包被的磁铁矿和葡聚糖包被的磁铁矿的细胞毒性,两种样品的细胞毒性均未低于100 mg/mL,唯一显示遗传毒性的样品是葡聚糖包被的磁铁矿(Singh et al., 2012)。在更广泛的研究中,Ding et al. (Ding et al., 2010)发现右旋糖酐杂交磁铁矿纳米颗粒的细胞毒性具有细胞特异性。提示对相关细胞的毒性评价应予以关注。

磁性颗粒周围的一系列次级表面活性剂已经在体内进行了毒性测试。柠檬酸和褐藻酸表面活性剂的毒性明显低于淀粉、癸酸和聚乙二醇。这项研究显示了优化表面涂层以最小化毒性的重要性(Kuznetsov et al., 1999)。

在一项体内研究中,白蛋白包被的磁铁矿微球被证明具有良好的耐受性(Kuznetsov等人,1999年)。与单剂量的阿霉素相比,含有阿霉素(一种抗癌药物)的磁铁矿白蛋白微球对动物器官或细胞的毒性降低,显著减少了副作用(Ma等人,2000年)。然而,在另一项研究中,白蛋白衍生的MNPs被发现会导致膜破坏,可能是由于蛋白质与膜脂肪酸和磷脂的相互作用(Berry et al., 2003)。

在细胞水平上评估了Fe3O4-PLLA-PEG-PLLA(聚l -乳酸)颗粒与未包覆磁铁矿颗粒相比的低细胞毒性。它们还在分子水平上产生低基因毒性和免疫毒性。急性毒性试验显示其毒性相当低,因此在生物医学应用方面具有很大的潜力(Chen等人,2012年)。包裹在MPEG-PLGA (PLGA:聚乳酸-羟基乙酸)胶束中的磁铁矿没有细胞毒性(Ding et al., 2012)。

最近,粒径而非包覆度被认为是影响巨噬细胞摄取速率的主要因素(Raynal et al., 2004)。在体内研究中,使用了50 nm(葡聚糖包覆)和4 μm(聚苯乙烯包覆)的MNPs,并证明其在眼内应用是安全的(Raju等,2011)。口服、静脉注射和腹腔注射约20 nm的MNPs没有表现出毒性(zeng et al., 2005)。含有1,6己二胺的MNPs经大鼠脑内或动脉内接种后显示是安全的(Muldoon等,2005)。40 nm的MNPs对mES细胞无毒(Shundo et al., 2012)。

在磁场作用下,MNPs显示出更高的毒性,导致细胞死亡(Simioni et al., 2007;Bae et al., 2011)。这是肿瘤治疗的基础,热疗,这将在后面的章节中详细总结。

尽管MNPs是常规使用,但长期影响和潜在的神经毒性尚未得到广泛评估(Yildirimer et al., 2011)。

磁性纳米颗粒具有较低的细胞毒性,因此在生物医学领域的应用引起了科学界对将其用作药物载体的极大兴趣。在给药方面,主要有两个目标;首先是将药物靶向到体内所需的区域,以减少对其他器官的副作用;其次是药物的控制释放,以避免经典的过量/不足周期。磁性纳米颗粒可能为这两个目标提供解决方案。磁性纳米颗粒周围的涂层经过优化,可以像大多数纳米颗粒一样以所需的方式携带和释放药物。然而,这些粒子的独特性质是它们是磁性的,允许使用外部磁场来操纵。这形成了磁性靶向的基础,其中携带药物的磁性颗粒在施加磁场时被定向到特定区域。

3.磁定位

为了在体外研究磁靶向,建立了一个模拟肿瘤供血分支动脉的实验装置,使其参数接近真实系统。实现了粒子的靶向,并发现其依赖于分支点的磁性体积力(Gitter et al., 2011)。利用相同的设置,构建了结合特征点磁体积力、磁体位置和定量数据的新型定量定位图。高达97%的纳米颗粒被成功地靶向到所选的分支中(Gitter et al., 2011)。

研制了一种磁性靶向给药系统(MT-DDS)装置,该装置通过控制超导磁体产生的磁场强度和/或梯度,实现了药物在体内局部病变部位的导航和积累。将Mn-Zn铁氧体颗粒注入实验装置中,形成y形玻璃管的静脉模型。这是磁靶向药物输送系统的一项基本技术,可在循环器官系统的血管中提供药物导航,这显示了MT-DDS药物输送方法的实用性(Mishima et al., 2007)。

为了验证MNP在血管中的植入,并将注射的MNP靶向到这些特定的部位,我们建立了实验和计算模型。为了产生强大的局部场梯度,使用改进的软光刻技术构建了嵌入磁锚的微流体通道来分析捕获过程。实验调查的定性结果证实了该方法的合法性。研究表明,在血管系统的特定点捕获和聚集磁性微球是可能的(Forbes et al., 2003)。

理论模拟和实验证明了利用两种磁源局部靶向给药是一种优化高浓度磁性载体递送到人体特定部位的新方法。实验结果表明,在与人体冠状动脉的尺寸和流速相一致的流动条件下,在相当高的浓度下捕获直径为微米和亚微米的超顺磁珠是可能的。同样的实验用非磁性网进行,结果没有明显的捕获,这表明植入物负责提供必要的磁场梯度和力来捕获注射的微珠(Yellen et al., 2005)。

磁性靶向的体内研究有几项。磁性壳聚糖纳米颗粒成功靶向肿瘤组织进行光动力治疗,导致其在皮肤和肝脏组织中的低积累(Sun et al., 2009)。

磁性碳纳米管(MNT)的内表面有一层磁铁矿纳米颗粒,其中化疗药物掺入孔中。通过使用外部放置的磁铁将药物基质引导到局部淋巴结,MNTs可以在引流的靶向淋巴结中保留数天并持续释放化疗药物(Yang et al., 2008)。

在一项体外研究中,含有抗癌药物的磁性聚(乙基-2-氰基丙烯酸酯)(PECA)纳米颗粒被证明在外磁场下释放药物并具有磁性迁移率(Yang et al., 2006)。

与静脉注射相比,在颈动脉内注射聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)修饰的磁性纳米颗粒并结合磁性靶向治疗可使颗粒的肿瘤夹闭率增加30倍(Chertok等人,2010)。

采用磁铁矿-葡聚糖复合颗粒给药米托蒽醌。磁性靶向治疗后,肿瘤组织中的米托蒽醌浓度始终显著升高,磁铁应用后血浆铁浓度下降,表明磁性靶向治疗的有效性(Krukemeyer et al., 2012)。

在另一项研究中,米托蒽醌与超顺磁性fe3o4纳米颗粒结合,载药纳米颗粒通过靠近肿瘤的股动脉给药。在应用过程中,磁性纳米颗粒被聚焦的外部磁场吸引到肿瘤上。高效液相色谱-生物分布实验的结果表明,与常用的全身应用相比,磁性药物靶向可以使治疗剂在所需的身体隔室(即肿瘤区域)的富集程度提高50倍(Alexiou等,2011)。

在体外研究了由磁铁矿羧基改性聚二乙烯基苯和含磁铁矿组成的磁性纳米粒子种子在植入体辅助磁性药物靶向(IA-MDT)中的应用。在70mT的外部磁场下,首先从通过70%多孔聚合物支架的流体中捕获MNP种子,该支架设计用于模拟毛细血管组织。然后将其用于捕获具有相同磁场的磁性药物载体颗粒(MDCPs) (Mangual等,2011)。

聚[苯胺-co- n -(1- 1-丁酸)苯胺](SPAnH)用1,3-双(2-氯乙基)-1-亚硝基脲(BCNU)包覆Fe3O4颗粒。结合- bccu -3可以在体外和体内通过外部施加的磁铁集中在目标部位。当应用于脑肿瘤时,发现磁靶向可以增加结合的bccnu -3的浓度和保留率(Hua et al., 2011)。

磁性靶向增强了胶质肉瘤中淀粉包被的超顺磁性纳米颗粒的积累,并通过磁共振成像进行了量化(Chertok等人,2008)。

聚乙二醇改性交联淀粉包覆磁铁矿颗粒的体内磁靶向研究。在9l -胶质瘤大鼠模型中证实了静脉注射PEG-MNPs的选择性,增强脑肿瘤靶向性。肿瘤靶向结果是很有希望的,并为进一步开发载药PEG-MNPs和同时优化所使用的磁靶向策略提供了依据(Cole et al., 2011)。

制备了由磁性Fe3O4 (SHMNPs)核和水稳定自掺杂聚[N-(1-一丁酸))苯胺(SPAnH)壳组成的超高磁化纳米载体(SHMNCs),具有高阿霉素(DOX)载药量(27.1% wt%)。这些纳米载体增强了药物的热稳定性,并最大限度地提高了通过磁靶向治疗给药MGH-U1膀胱癌细胞的效率,部分原因是避免了p糖蛋白(P-gp)泵提高细胞内DOX浓度的作用(Hua等,2011)。

磁性颗粒也可以瞄准肿瘤区域,因此可以对肿瘤进行成像。氧化铁颗粒常被用作MRI造影剂。事实上,磁铁矿是FDA批准的造影剂。由于本研究的重点是对磁性给药技术做一个全面的总结,因此本文将不涉及用于MRI的磁性颗粒。

从上述研究中可以看出,磁靶向是一种将药物靶向到所需区域(通常是肿瘤)的有效方法。然而,在一些研究中,与磁靶向同时使用的还有靶向配体。在没有磁性靶向的情况下,靶向是利用药物载体上的配体特异性结合靶区域的受体来实现的。用于此目的的常见配体是叶酸(或叶酸)。叶酸对叶酸受体蛋白有很高的亲和力,叶酸受体蛋白通常在许多人类癌症的表面表达。如果将叶酸标记在携带药物的纳米颗粒上,叶酸就会与癌细胞表面的叶酸受体结合,并通过内吞作用摄取缀合物,完成靶向药物递送。磁性粒子与靶配体的示意图如图2所示。

Figure 2. a) Schematic representation of the ‘‘core–shell’’ structure of MNPs and multi-functional surface decoration. MNPs consist of a magnetic iron oxide core coated with a biocompatible material (e.g. polysaccharide, lipid, protein, small silane linkers, etc.). Functional groups on the surface of coatings are often used to link ligands for molecular targeting, cellular internalization, optical imaging, enhanced plasma residence and/or therapy. The variety of moieties that decorate the MNP surface imparts the nanoparticle with its multi-functional, theranostic character. (b) Illustration of superparamagnetic MNP response to applied magnetic fields. MNPs comprise rotating crystals that align with the direction of an applied magnetic field. Crystal reorientation provides the high magnetic susceptibility and saturation magnetization observed for this material. The circular dashed lines around the superparamagnetic nanoparticles on the left illustrate the randomization of their orientation, due to temperature effects, in the absence of a magnetic field. (Cole et al.2011).

以生物相容性Pluronic F127和与叶酸(FA)化学偶联的聚乳酸(F127- pla)共聚物为载体,以超顺磁性氧化铁颗粒为基础合成磁性纳米载体。磁颗粒在外加磁场的作用下被引导到靶部位,从而提高抗肿瘤药物的治疗效果。这些定性结果都是通过简单的统计分析进行的,这说明双重靶向机制可以带来更好的治疗效果(Huang et al., 2012)。


超顺磁性氧化铁纳米晶体和DOX与胆固醇(含或不含叶酸)共封装到PLGA/聚合脂质体核壳纳米载体中。在体外实验中,叶酸靶向DOX负载磁性核壳纳米载体对Hela细胞的靶向效果优于非叶酸靶向载体(Wang et al., 2012)。

热敏磁性脂质体具有DPPC:胆固醇:DSPE-PEG2000:DSPE-PEG2000-叶酸(DPPC:双棕榈酰磷脂酰胆碱;DSPE: 1,2-二硬脂酰-sn-甘油-3-磷酸乙醇胺),摩尔比为80:20:45:0.5。与Caelyx®(一种市售的多柔比星脂质体制剂)、非磁性叶酸靶向脂质体(FolDox)和表达叶酸受体的肿瘤细胞系(KB和HeLa细胞)中的游离DOX相比,该载体通过永久磁场物理靶向肿瘤细胞时,DOX的细胞摄取显著增加(Pradhan等,2010)。

制备了具有介孔二氧化硅核壳结构的磁性纳米颗粒,并成功地以荧光聚合物链作为标记段,叶酸作为癌症靶向段,装载药物进行定向释放。药物载体被证明能够钻入细胞膜并获得抗癌药物持续释放到细胞质中。体外细胞对药物的摄取表明,载药纳米复合材料可以有效靶向肿瘤细胞(Chen et al., 2010)。

合成了具有荧光SiO2外壳的Fe3O4纳米颗粒,并与叶酸共轭的超支化聚甘油(聚丙烯酰胺接枝Fe3O4@SiO2纳米颗粒)接枝。体外研究表明,与巨噬细胞和成纤维细胞相比,人卵巢癌细胞(SKOV-3)对叶酸结合纳米颗粒的摄取明显优先(Wang等,2011)。

磁铁矿纳米颗粒通过吸附微粒表面的聚合层(羧甲基壳聚糖)进行修饰,并与荧光染料、靶向配体和药物分子结合,以改善靶向特异性诊断和可能的治疗应用。将丙烯酸、叶酸、颗粒(Fe3O4-CMC-AA-FA)和DOX加载到MNPs的外壳中,并在不同ph下进行释放研究。与NIH3T3细胞相比,Fe3O4-CMC-AA-FA-DOX NPs对HeLa细胞的生长有明显的抑制作用,且呈剂量依赖性。该研究表明,Fe3O4-CMC-AA-FA能够提供单一纳米级结构,具有肿瘤细胞靶向、成像和药物递送功能。这是首次描述基于壳聚糖的MNPs系统具有上述所有功能(Sahu et al., 2012)。

叶酸以外的其他配体也被用于纳米颗粒的活性靶向。DOX在5-羧基荧光素(FAM)标记的AGKGTPSLETTP肽(A54)偶联淀粉包被氧化铁纳米颗粒上证明了DOX负载的A54- ions (SION:超顺磁性氧化铁)对BEL-7402细胞的特异性。显微镜图像证明,在体内外磁场作用下,负载dox的A54-SIONs成功靶向裸鼠肿瘤组织(Yang et al., 2009)。

配体修饰CPT-SAIO@SiO2纳米载体用于递送抗癌剂(包封喜树碱(CPT))。研究发现,修饰后的纳米载体对CPT具有相当高的载药效率,并且通过网格蛋白介导的内吞作用被过表达EGFR的癌细胞摄取。通过外部磁刺激释放CPT分子在细胞内被证明在技术上是成功的,并且确保了比使用游离药物获得更高的治疗效果(Tung et al., 2011)。

西妥昔单抗-抗表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)单克隆抗体与聚乙二醇-聚(ε-己内酯)(PEG-PCL)连接的免疫胶束。这些胶束负载DOX和Fe3O4超顺磁性氧化铁。结果表明,免疫胶束比其非靶向对应物更有效地抑制细胞增殖。西妥昔单抗免疫胶束更有效地与过度表达表皮生长因子受体的癌细胞结合,导致更多的超顺磁性氧化铁和DOX被转运到这些细胞中(Liao et al., 2011)。

通过ph敏感键将抗癌药物偶联到聚乙二醇化的SPIO (SPIO:超顺磁性氧化铁)纳米载体上。肿瘤靶向配体,环(arg - gly - asp - d - ph - cys) (c(RGDfC))肽,PET 64Cu螯合剂,大环1,4,7-三氮杂环壬烷- n, N0, n00 -三乙酸(NOTA),被偶联到PEG臂的远端。体外实验表明,与不含crgd的SPIO纳米载体相比,结合crgd的SPIO纳米载体具有更高的细胞摄取水平。这些纳米载体在联合靶向抗癌药物递送和PET/MRI肿瘤双模成像方面表现出了很好的特性(Yang等,2011)。

聚脂质体(PEG/RGD-MPLs);由两亲性聚合物十八烷基季铵化改性聚γ-谷氨酸(OQPGA)、聚乙二醇化OQPGA、RGD肽接枝OQPGA和磁性纳米颗粒组成。它提供了一种对具有超顺磁特性的外部永磁体产生响应的可能性,当用于体内磁性组织靶向时。细胞摄取结果表明,PEG/RGDMPLs(含RGD和磁性颗粒)在MCF-7细胞中比非RGD和非磁性载体表现出更多的药物细胞摄取(Su et al., 2012)。

这些研究表明,磁靶向是一种有效的将药物靶向肿瘤区域的方法。结合使用合适配体的主动靶向,配体修饰的载药磁性纳米颗粒在外部磁场的作用下提供了有效的药物靶向系统。一旦将磁性颗粒靶向到所需区域,最常用的肿瘤治疗方法之一就是热疗。当磁性纳米颗粒在肿瘤附近并受到交变磁场作用时,会使肿瘤散发热量并升高肿瘤温度,导致肿瘤细胞死亡。

4. 高热治疗

温度在40°C到45°C之间通常被称为热疗。温度高达42℃可使癌细胞更容易受到辐射的影响,并导致一定程度的细胞凋亡,而温度在45℃以下被称为热消融,并导致细胞直接杀伤(坏死)(Elsherbini等人,2011)。

在磁性纳米粒子热疗治疗癌症的临床应用中,在保护正常组织的同时确保对肿瘤的最大损伤是非常重要的(saloum et al., 2009)。磁性纳米粒子热疗在癌症治疗中具有很大的潜力,但由于预期的加热分布难以控制,导致肿瘤组织温度升高不均匀和不充分,严重限制了其应用。组织中颗粒的运输包括载体溶液的细胞外运输、载体溶液中颗粒的运输以及颗粒与细胞表面的相互作用等过程。纳米颗粒在肿瘤中的细胞外转运尚不清楚(saloum et al., 2008)。

热疗几乎总是与其他形式的癌症治疗一起使用,如放射治疗和化疗。热疗可能会使一些癌细胞对辐射更敏感,或伤害辐射无法伤害的其他癌细胞。当热疗和放射治疗同时进行时,它们通常在一小时内进行。热疗还可以增强某些抗癌药物的作用(Van der Zee, 2002;Wust et al., 2002)。

许多临床试验研究了热疗与放射治疗和/或化疗的结合。这些研究集中在多种癌症的治疗上,包括肉瘤、黑色素瘤、头颈癌、脑癌、肺癌、食道癌、乳腺癌、膀胱癌、直肠癌、肝癌、阑尾癌、子宫颈癌和腹膜内膜癌(间皮瘤)(Falk等人,2001;Feldman et al., 2003;Chang et al., 2001)。这些研究中的许多,但不是全部,都表明当热疗与其他治疗相结合时,肿瘤大小显著减小。然而,并非所有这些研究都表明,接受联合治疗的患者生存率提高(Van der Zee, 2002;Wust et al., 2002)。磁性纳米材料在热疗基础和联合治疗中的独特优势如图3所示。

Figure 3. A schematic representation of some of the unique advantages of magnetic nanomaterials for hyperthermia-based therapy and controlled drug delivery (Kumar & Mohammad, 2011).

用于加热的交变磁场中的磁损失是由于粒子系统中磁化反转的不同过程引起的:(1)磁滞,(2)nsamel或Brown弛豫,(3)粘性悬浮液中的摩擦损失(Hergt et al., 2006)。

超顺磁性纳米粒子的磁化能在热能的作用下自发改变取向。磁化强度在两个平衡位置之间振荡。两个方向变化之间的典型时间由n 弛豫时间给出,其中τ0是一个尝试时间,其值约为10−9-10−10秒。

在没有磁场的情况下,溶液中的磁性纳米颗粒会随机运动,这种运动被称为布朗运动。当磁场作用于流体中的磁性纳米颗粒时,由于磁场与磁化相互作用产生的扭矩,磁性纳米颗粒旋转并逐渐与磁场对齐。磁性纳米粒子与一个小的外部磁场对齐所花费的时间由布朗弛豫时间给出,其中η为溶剂粘度。磁场旋转和磁化旋转之间的延迟导致磁滞。磁滞回线的面积作为热能在环境中耗散,用于磁热疗。

当交变磁场(AMF)作用于磁性材料时,由于磁滞,一种称为比吸收率(SAR)的能量被耗散,并以纳米粒子的W/g表示。

给定材料的SAR由SAR = Af给出,其中a为磁滞回线面积,f为磁场交变频率。A用J/g表示,也称为材料的“比损耗”,因此在一些研究中也可以将SAR称为比损耗功率(specific Loss Power, SLP)。

几个研究小组对同一材料估计的SAR值可能会有所不同,因为它取决于几个参数,如载体流体的物理和化学性质、涂层材料、施加磁场的频率和振幅、Fe3O4纳米颗粒的大小和形状(Elsherbini等,2011)。

通过优化一种算法,可以反向确定多个纳米颗粒注入引起的最佳加热模式,从而开发出以A为单位的优化SAR分布(saloum et al., 2009)。对于热疗应用,需要高SAR值。实现这一目标的一种方法是增加磁场强度,但平均磁场强度应保持在30 mT以下,以避免形成涡流,从而诱发毒性(alphandsamry et al., 2012)。

SPA作为粒径函数的研究表明,构成加热剂的纳米颗粒的平均粒径和粒径分布是设计高效加热纳米颗粒的核心参数(Goya et al., 2008)。

不幸的是,很难对颗粒的组成和大小进行直接比较。在一项研究中,制备了多畴铁氧体颗粒,并将其与有右旋糖酐包覆和未包覆的小磁铁矿颗粒的SAR数据进行了比较。大铁氧体颗粒(200-400 nm)的每质量功率吸收比相同成分的小颗粒要低得多,尽管两种颗粒尺寸分布都相对较宽(Jordan等,1993)。然而,大尺寸的颗粒无法到达细胞内部(Martín-Saavedra et al., 2010)。

通过对Pluronic F127包覆的Fe3O4单分散颗粒进行量热测量,结果表明,在给定频率下,超顺磁颗粒的升温速率取决于颗粒大小,这与早期的理论预测一致。结果还表明,正如预测的那样,SLP随着样本多分散性而扩大(Gonzales-Weimuller et al., 2009)。

同样,单畴尺寸范围(20-70 nm)的平均粒径与小尺寸分布宽度相结合可以增强SLP (Hergt et al., 2007)。

先前的研究表明,在靶向磁热疗治疗中,组织铁浓度与加热速率之间存在线性关系(Pardoe et al., 2003)。动脉栓塞热疗(AEH)的一个关键组成部分是铁磁颗粒在正常肝实质(NHP)以及肿瘤组织中的浓度和分布。如果NHP中的颗粒分布是不均匀的,有高浓度的区域,那么在AEH期间可能会导致不需要的坏死区域(Moroz等人,2002)。

在另一项研究中,几种具有代表性的磁性氧化铁纳米颗粒用于不同的制备方法(湿化学沉淀法、研磨法、细菌合成法、磁性粒度分馏法)进行比较研究(Hergt et al., 2006)。市面上可买到的非常小的超顺磁颗粒被认为不是有效加热肿瘤的最佳材料。相反,超顺磁性磁铁矿纳米颗粒被证明适合于用射频诱导埃利希肿瘤热疗(Elsherbini et al., 2011)。

在超顺磁状态下,单个粒子的磁矩与MNPs的SPA值之间没有相关性。尽管SPA机制与初始畴壁之间的关系仍有待确定,但最佳粒径建议接近Fe3O4相从单畴到多畴转变的临界尺寸(Goya et al., 2008)。

当使用磁性纳米颗粒作为磁颗粒热疗的热源时,了解颗粒是否在组织液中自由移动或固定在肿瘤组织上是特别有趣的。固定状态决定了所给粒子的弛豫行为,从而决定了它们的比加热功率(Dutz et al., 2011)。如果粒子不能旋转,由布朗弛豫引起的温度升高可以忽略不计。有研究表明,羧甲基右旋糖酐包被的磁性颗粒注射入肿瘤后,对肿瘤组织的固定作用相当强(Dutz et al., 2011)。

研究了nsamel弛豫对无法移动或旋转的磁性纳米粒子的影响,并比较了线性和圆极化场中的损耗(De chaltel et al., 2009)。在低于拉莫尔频率的频率下,线性极化是更好的热电源,在高频率下(超过拉莫尔频率),圆极化是更好的。如果各向同性样品中的nsamel松弛是主要机制,则无需考虑在复杂几何结构中产生圆极化场的技术复杂性。

为了使组织中颗粒浓度达到所需温度,MNP的比热功率(SHP)应尽可能高。发现超顺磁粒子尺寸的比热功率与外加交变磁场的频率和振幅的关系符合弛豫理论的预测。对于较小的平均尺寸(约6纳米),加热能力小得可以忽略不计,而较大的颗粒提供适合热疗的加热(Glöckl等人,2006年)。

文献中通常报道的SLP数据显示,当场幅为10 kA m-1,频率约为400 kHz时,散射的数量级为10 - 100w g-1 (Hergt et al., 2006)。

总而言之:

为了在小肿瘤(目前直径小于10mm)中达到有效的治疗温度,MNP的SLP必须大大增加。

MPH的主要实际问题是肿瘤的MNP供应不足。对于IT注射,组织中MNP分布的不均匀性可能导致局部温度差异,从而无法区分热疗和热消融。由于肿瘤部分温度增强不足,存在存活肿瘤细胞增殖的风险。

对于MNP的全身供应(例如抗体靶向),MNP的靶富集必须大大增强以达到治疗温度。特别是,小靶点(低于目前诊断限度的转移)的治疗似乎是一个值得怀疑的希望(Hergt等人,2007)。

对热疗有用的比损失功率受到交变电场振幅和频率的严重限制。在400 kHz和10 kA m−1条件下,对于平均粒径约为18 nm的粒子,如果粒径分布足够窄,其SLP值可达数百W g−1。对于磁铁矿晶体平均直径约为35 nm的细菌磁小体,发现了接近1 kW g−1的非常大的SLP值(Hergt et al., 2006)。

生物医学中常用的氨基硅烷修饰的MNPs,细菌磁小体(BM)在AMF下表现出更好的加热效果。虽然这两种颗粒都被发现通过使用相同浓度的MNPs和磁小体热疗来增强细胞活力的降低,但脑转移瘤需要更低强度的电流才能在肿瘤细胞中产生类似的抑制作用(Liu et al., 2012)。

当磁小体链(由蛋白质组成的细丝相互结合)在癌细胞存在的情况下孵育,并暴露在频率为198 kHz、平均磁场强度为20或30 mT的交变磁场中时,它们能有效抑制癌细胞的增殖。这种行为可以解释为高细胞内化,溶液中良好的稳定性和磁小体链的均匀分布,从而实现高效加热(alphandsamry et al., 2012)。

当磁小体链被加热时,将磁小体结合在一起的细丝发生变性,得到个体磁小体,这些磁小体在交变磁场作用下容易聚集,在溶液中不稳定,不能有效抑制癌细胞增殖(alphand 等人,2012)。

聚乙二醇甲基丙烯酸甲醚和二甲基丙烯酸甲酯与氧化铁作为植入式生物材料。结果表明,可以通过改变AMF强度来控制水凝胶的温度,使凝胶达到高温(42-45℃)或热烧蚀(60-63℃)温度。水凝胶纳米复合材料达到的最终温度可以根据这些温度范围中的任何一个进行定制。水凝胶在AMF中加热,加热响应取决于凝胶中的氧化铁负载和磁场强度(Meenach et al., 2010)。

采用脂质薄膜法制备了含有磁流体和光敏剂基配合物(CB:ZnPc-ML)的阳离子磁性脂质体。这一结果表明,光和交流磁场一起应用比单独应用两种处理更有效(Bolfarini et al., 2012)。

用载药PCPG磁脂质体评价磁热疗联合化疗的效果。热敏药物释放在磁场的影响下发生,这种联合治疗被证明比单独治疗更有效(Kulshrestha et al., 2012)。

结果表明,即使吸收量相同,铁磁MNPs获得的温度也高于超顺磁MNPs获得的温度。这是由于磁滞损耗和磁松弛之间的热效率差异。热的产生主要是由于磁滞损耗而不是磁弛豫。与细胞外产生的热量相比,纳米颗粒进入细胞并吸附在细胞膜上产生的热量对细胞的破坏至关重要(Baba et al., 2012)。

根据一些人的说法,众所周知的氧化铁流体变得不受欢迎,因为它们的铁原子与血红蛋白的铁原子很难区分。一个建议的解决方案是使用混合铁氧体(MFe2O4,其中M¼Co, Mn, Ni, Zn)来具有一系列的磁性能。这些铁氧体因其节省时间、固有毒性低、易于合成、物理和化学稳定性以及合适的磁性而受到特别关注(Sharifi et al., 2012)。

Giri等人研究了100纳米以下的柠檬酸盐包覆铁氧体颗粒。发现涂层材料的饱和磁化强度降低,因为磁化强度与相同磁性材料的重量成正比。发现矫顽力足以使热疗中的迟滞损失加热。磁滞数据表明,这些样品(涂覆)表现出足够的磁滞损失,以获得破坏肿瘤细胞所需的温度。

铁素体颗粒在壳聚糖基质中以不同的比例制备(Park等人,2005)。随着壳聚糖比例的增加,达到热疗所需时间缩短,饱和磁化强度降低。优化铁素体-壳聚糖的比例在热疗方面具有广阔的应用前景。

6-12纳米的钴钛铁氧体纳米颗粒被证明适用于热疗应用(Ichiyanagia等人,2012)。Zn-Gd铁氧体颗粒是合适的,但如果你用聚乙二醇(PEG)盖住它们,它们就没有用了(Yao等人,2009)。与聚(甲基丙烯酸酯)和聚(2-羟乙基甲基丙烯酸酯)共聚的7.5 nm钴铁氧体颗粒被证明适用于热疗(Hayashi等人,2012)。CoFe2O4铁氧体颗粒(铁磁性)被证明适用于热疗(Skumiel, 2006)。

研究各种材料的纳米颗粒产生的加热,钡-铁氧体和钴-铁氧体不能产生足够的MFH加热,铁-钴产生的加热速度太快而不安全,而fcc铁-铂、磁铁矿和磁铁矿都能够产生稳定的可控加热。铁钴MNPs诱导的温度变化太大,而钡铁氧体和钴铁氧体MNPs不能提供足够的热量来治疗肿瘤。模拟表明,磁铁矿、fcc铁铂和磁铁矿MNPs非常适合MFH,可以将肿瘤加热到41°C以上,同时保持周围健康组织温度低于该值(Kappiyoor et al., 2010)。

热可逆水凝胶(波洛沙姆,壳聚糖),可容纳20% w/v的磁性微粒,被证明是不够的。然而,海藻酸盐水凝胶含有10% w/v的磁性微粒,外部凝胶化导致植入物定位到肿瘤周围,而内部凝胶化在原位失败。有机凝胶配方由溶解在单一有机溶剂中的沉淀聚合物组成,显示出不同的微观结构。在DMSO (DMSO:二甲基亚砜)中含有40% w/v磁性微粒的8%聚(乙烯-乙烯醇)形成了肿瘤铸造和热传递方面最合适的植入物(Le Renard等人,2010)。

细胞培养实验表明,通过调整磁性微球MMS的数量和AMF的暴露时间,可以将磁铁矿纳米颗粒嵌入介孔二氧化硅基质中,实现轻度到非常高强度的热处理(Martín-Saavedra et al., 2010)。对含铁的10-40纳米多壁碳纳米管的加热效果进行了研究,并证明是合适的(Krupskaya et al., 2009)。

几种磁流体被证明适合热疗应用。在一项比较研究中,对16种商业磁流体进行了调查,并区分了最合适的磁流体(Kallumadil et al., 2009)。20-30µm的磁铁矿微胶囊嵌入琼脂体中,在交变磁场下产生热量(Miyazaki et al., 2012)。气凝胶基质中10纳米的磁铁矿纳米颗粒是潜在的热疗剂,其中气凝胶基质可用于联合治疗的药物装载(Lee et al., 2012)。

从上述研究中可以看出,虽然对于理想的热疗磁性材料并没有一个明确的定义,但根据具体情况,可以采用几种材料。药物传递与热疗联合治疗在该领域具有广阔的应用前景。

磁性药物载体

由于磁性颗粒具有低毒性和靶向性,因此它们是药物递送的潜在候选者,通常将磁性颗粒涂覆以稳定其抗沉淀,确保其低细胞毒性并在基质中携带药物。

在体内应用中,SPION颗粒应被包裹以防止药物分子偶联并限制与非靶向细胞侧的相互作用,防止颗粒团聚并增强药物装载和释放。SPION涂层的不同方法导致不同的聚合物组装如图4所示。在多糖包衣和共聚物包衣中,所得到的颗粒呈均匀的包芯状。在另一种涂覆方法中,聚合物分子固定在磁性颗粒表面,形成刷状结构。脂质体和胶束形成的分子形成核壳结构,核中有磁性粒子。这些结构可用于保留疏水区域的药物包封。(Veiseh et al., 2010)。

5. 结论
本文综述了磁性纳米颗粒在药物传递中的应用。磁性纳米颗粒由于其生物相容性、低毒性和在磁场作用下可操纵的能力而引起了人们的极大兴趣。这些特殊的性质允许它们被用作药物载体,通过直接将药物附着在颗粒上,或者通常通过使用天然或合成聚合物来帮助携带药物并将磁性颗粒嵌入聚合物基质中。已经探索了几种类型的药物和涂层作为药物载体,表1总结了非常有限的选择。这些颗粒表面修饰的便利性为靶向部分附着在颗粒表面提供了机会,从而促进了靶向。磁性纳米颗粒的靶向主要是在施加外部磁场的情况下进行的,该磁场作为一种外力将颗粒定位在体内所需的区域。一旦磁性粒子靠近肿瘤,对它们施加交变磁场,就会导致介质温度上升到42摄氏度,这是热疗所需的温度,热疗是与化疗和放疗一起进行的补充治疗。我们相信,在不久的将来,这些迷人的粒子将在现有的基础上获得更大的成功,并找到进一步的潜在应用。
