The application discloses injectable long-acting collagen and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of collagen preparation. The application solves the problems of rapid degradation and insufficient
mechanical property of collagen after injection into the body, and the problem of inability to have
biological safety, good
biological activity and injectability. The long-acting collagen is prepared by taking
methoxypolyethylene glycol active ester and collagen as raw materials.
Amide reaction is caused between the
methoxypolyethylene glycol active ester and
lysine residues on the collagen, hydrophilic PEG is introduced on the surface of the collagen, a hydration layer is formed, biological enzymes are hindered from contacting the collagen,
collagen degradation is delayed, and the single-arm structure of the
methoxypolyethylene glycol active ester can avoid product agglomeration and abnormal
viscosity caused by excessive cross-linking. The long-acting collagen has a long
retention time in the body, has no obvious
cytotoxicity, has high
biological safety, and maintains
cell proliferation, migration and adhesion activity and
biological repair functions.
