Alginate-drug loaded nanoparticle-polycation microcapsule and preparation and application thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to an alginate-drug loaded nanoparticle-polycation microcapsule and preparation and application thereof. The microcapsule product is a spherical microcapsule with a particle sizeof 100 to 1000 microns. The structure of the microcapsule product is divided into two parts of a microcapsule membrane and an inner core. The microcapsule membrane is self-assembled layer by layer byalginate, drug-loaded nanoparticles and polycations to form a polyelectrolyte composite hydrogel film, and the inner core is a hydrogel or hydrosol environment containing animal cells. The microcapsule product is used as an immunosuppressive tool in embedding carriers for cell transplantation. Under the premise of ensuring the microcapsule strength and immuno-isolation performances, the surface roughness and surface charge of the microcapsule membrane can be reduced, the in-situ release of an anti-inflammatory drug on the surface of the microcapsule is realized, and the problem of fibrillation wrapping is solved from two aspects of stabilization of the microcapsule membrane by the drug-loaded nanoparticles and in-situ release of the anti-inflammatory drug for anti-inflammation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microcapsule product, in particular to an alginate-drug-loaded nanoparticle-polycation biological microcapsule product used for embedding biologically active substances and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] In the 1960s, Chang reported semi-permeable membrane microcapsules, pointing out that using them to embed biologically active substances such as proteins and enzymes and cells can maintain the activity of biological substances. [1] . In the early 1980s, Lim and Sun successfully prepared sodium alginate / α-polylysine semipermeable membrane microcapsules (abbreviated as α-APA microcapsules) for tissue / cell function defect diseases (such as diabetes), including Islet cells of Wistar rats were sealed and transplanted into diabetic WistarLewis rats to secrete and release insulin to regulate blood sugar [2] . This has promoted the rapid development of research on materials and preparation me...

Problems solved by technology

Among the many biological microcapsules, sodium alginate-polylysine microcapsules are used more often, but the main problem still faced in the clinical application of microcapsules is that after transplantation of microencapsulated cells in vivo, the initial effect of treatment is obvious, However, after a period of time, the curative effect declines. The essential reason is that the microcapsules implanted in the body will trigger the host’s immune response to form a fibrotic package, which will affect the material transfer of nutrients and metabolites. Insufficient oxygen supply, metabolites in the capsule cannot diffuse out of the capsule, resulting in loss of graft function and graft failure [4]

[0003] For this reason, from the perspective of resisting host inflammation, some researchers loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) carriers loaded with anti-inflammatory drugs (such as dexamethasone) into the inner core of microcapsules
