This invention relates to the field of lyophilized formulation technology and discloses a method for preparing controllable molecular weight silk
fibroin lyophilized spheres, comprising the following steps: preparing a mixture of a lyophilization protectant, a
protein conformation stabilizer, and silk
fibroin solutions of different molecular weights. The lyophilization protectant includes sugars and
sugar alcohols, and the
protein conformation stabilizer is a
polyol. After pre-freezing the mixture into spheres, a
surface coating modification is performed by adding an
ethanol solution containing
cellulose, followed by a second pre-freezing in
liquid nitrogen, and finally, the lyophilized product is controlled by a specific program in a vacuum freeze dryer. This invention employs specific lyophilization protectants,
protein conformation stabilizers,
surface coating modification techniques, and freeze-
drying techniques, enabling the prepared silk
fibroin lyophilized spheres to have a better appearance and improving their resistance to
moisture absorption and shrinkage, as well as their rapid reconstitution.
