Application of Hydrogen Peroxide Sensitive Fluorescen Nanoparticles in Atherosclerosis

ROS plays an important role in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque, especially hydrogen peroxide, which can stimulate macrophages to express pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines to enhance the inflammatory activity of macrophages. Therefore, the development of drugs with sensitive release of hydrogen peroxide is safe and effective for the treatment of atherosclerosis The side chain hydroxyl groups of pHEMA were grafted with oxalylsimvastatin (SIM), fluoropolyethylene glycol (fpeg) and macrophage target molecule ISO-1 to prepare hydrogen peroxide sensitive fluorescent drug loaded nanomicelles (phema-simfpeg-iso-1). By using hydrogen peroxide sensitive and controlled-release drug, it can target macrophage, at the same time, improve the characteristics of traditional polyethylene glycol only as hydrophilic chain, and synthesize polyethylene glycol with fluorescence function, so that the polymer can have probe ability without modifying fluorescence substance, which is suitable for the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis. The results show that the water-soluble nanoparticles show good biocompatibility and peroxide Hydrogen sensitivity and fluorescence ability provide new materials for the development of a nano system for the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis.
