近100年来,针对阿尔茨海默病(AD)的基础和临床研究很多,但其发病机制和治疗方法尚未完全阐明。尽管存在一些争议,β 淀粉样蛋白假说是最广泛接受的 AD 病因之一。在这项研究中,我们公开了一种新的淀粉样蛋白-β 斑块分解剂和一种使用多孔硅纳米粒子 (pSiNPs) 作为治疗性纳米平台来克服 AD 的 AD 脑靶向递送系统。我们假设带负电荷的磺酸官能团可以分解斑块并构建化学库。作为淀粉样斑块体外测定和文库筛选的结果,我们证实 6-氨基-2-萘磺酸 (ANA) 作为命中化合物显示出最高的斑块解聚功效。为了确认 ANA 向 AD 大脑的靶向递送,使用多孔硅纳米粒子 (pSiNPs) 创建了一个纳米平台,ANA 加载到 pSiNPs 的孔隙和生物素-聚乙二醇 (PEG) 表面功能化。由此产生的纳米制剂名为 Biotin-CaCl2-ANA-pSiNPs (BCAP),可向 AD 大脑输送大量 ANA,并通过分解大脑中的淀粉样蛋白斑块改善 AD 小鼠模型的记忆障碍。本研究提出了一种用于淀粉样斑块解聚的新型生物活性小分子及其用于 AD 脑靶向递送的有前途的治疗性纳米平台。由此产生的纳米制剂名为 Biotin-CaCl2-ANA-pSiNPs (BCAP),可向 AD 大脑输送大量 ANA,并通过分解大脑中的淀粉样蛋白斑块改善 AD 小鼠模型的记忆障碍。本研究提出了一种用于淀粉样斑块解聚的新型生物活性小分子及其用于 AD 脑靶向递送的有前途的治疗性纳米平台。由此产生的纳米制剂名为 Biotin-CaCl2-ANA-pSiNPs (BCAP),可向 AD 大脑输送大量 ANA,并通过分解大脑中的淀粉样蛋白斑块改善 AD 小鼠模型的记忆障碍。本研究提出了一种用于淀粉样斑块解聚的新型生物活性小分子及其用于 AD 脑靶向递送的有前途的治疗性纳米平台。

Potential Alzheimer's disease therapeutic nano-platform: Discovery of amyloid-beta plaque disaggregating agent and brain-targeted delivery system using porous silicon nanoparticles
There has been a lot of basic and clinical research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) over the last 100 years, but its mechanisms and treatments have not been fully clarified. Despite some controversies, the amyloid-beta hypothesis is one of the most widely accepted causes of AD. In this study, we disclose a new amyloid-beta plaque disaggregating agent and an AD brain-targeted delivery system using porous silicon nanoparticles (pSiNPs) as a therapeutic nano-platform to overcome AD. We hypothesized that the negatively charged sulfonic acid functional group could disaggregate plaques and construct a chemical library. As a result of the in vitro assay of amyloid plaques and library screening, we confirmed that 6-amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANA) showed the highest efficacy for plaque disaggregation as a hit compound. To confirm the targeted delivery of ANA to the AD brain, a nano-platform was created using porous silicon nanoparticles (pSiNPs) with ANA loaded into the pore of pSiNPs and biotin-polyethylene glycol (PEG) surface functionalization. The resulting nano-formulation, named Biotin-CaCl2-ANA-pSiNPs (BCAP), delivered a large amount of ANA to the AD brain and ameliorated memory impairment of the AD mouse model through the disaggregation of amyloid plaques in the brain. This study presents a new bioactive small molecule for amyloid plaque disaggregation and its promising therapeutic nano-platform for AD brain-targeted delivery.
