Problems solved by technology

Among them, dextran of biological origin is non-toxic, good biocompatibility and biodegradability, and will not cause immune response in biological tissues. It is an ideal raw material for microneedles and microneedle patches, but due to Its hardness and toughness are not enough, and it is often easy to break when used as a material for microneedles, and it is not easy to penetrate the skin
[0005] In addition, when microneedles and microneedle patches are specially used to deliver pharmaceutical active ingredients or cosmetic active ingredients, how to control macromolecular pharmaceutical active ingredients or cosmetic active ingredients not to aggregate together and release in a controlled manner after reaching the dermis or epidermis become very important, so the existing process methods still need to be improved

Embodiment 1

[0042] First, the PDMS mold was prepared as follows:

[0043] First prepare a stainless steel male mold containing multiple conical protrusions, the density of the conical protrusions is 50 / cm 2 , each conical protrusion has a width of 800 μm (conical bottom) and a height of 500 μm. Place the stainless steel positive mold in a disposable plate, pour polydimethylsiloxane (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) prepolymer, and dry in an oven at 60°C for 4 hours, separate the stainless steel positive mold from PDMS, and form a PDMS conical concave negative mold.

[0044] (1) The large molecular weight water-soluble dextran powder (molecular weight 100000) after deionized ultrapure water is dissolved and purified to a final concentration of 80g / L, and the large molecular weight water-soluble dextran is prepared by the prior art, adding Small molecular weight water-insoluble dextran powder (molecular weight: 5000) to a final concentration of 10 g / L, and quickly mixed on a vortex mixer to ob...

Embodiment 2

[0050] First, the PDMS mold was prepared as follows:

[0051] First, prepare a stainless steel male mold comprising a plurality of conical protrusions, the density of the conical protrusions is 2 / cm2, the width of each conical protrusion is 20 μm (conical bottom), and the height is 1000 μm. Put the stainless steel positive mold in a disposable flat plate, pour polydimethylsiloxane (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) prepolymer, and dry in an oven at 70°C for 1 hour, separate the stainless steel positive mold from PDMS, and form a PDMS conical concave negative mold .

[0052] (1) Dissolve large molecular weight water-soluble dextran powder (molecular weight 300,000) in deionized ultrapure water to a final concentration of 60g / L. Sugar powder (molecular weight: 2000) was added to a final concentration of 5 g / L, and quickly mixed on a vortex mixer to obtain a matrix solution. The preparation method of described small molecular weight water-insoluble dextran is:

[0053] Using the dex...

Abstract

The invention discloses a composite microneedle and a microneedle patch and a preparation method thereof. The composite microneedle comprises a microneedle-shaped substrate and active ingredients embedded in the substrate, the substrate is a mixture of water-soluble glucan with a large molecular weight and water-insoluble glucan with a small molecular weight, and the active ingredients are substances with medical or cosmetic effects. The composite microneedle has good toughness, hardness, long-term stability, biocompatibility and biodegradability, high safety and no toxic and side effects, canbe quickly dissolved in the skin without production of medical waste, conforms to the concept of environment-friendly development, and is small in occupied space, convenient to transport, simple in production process, low in production cost and capable of achieving large-scale mass production.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to microneedles, and more specifically, to a composite microneedle and a microneedle patch for transdermal delivery of active substances with pharmaceutical, medical or cosmetic effects. Background technique [0002] Human skin, especially the stratum corneum, provides an effective barrier against the penetration of microbial pathogens and toxic chemicals into the body. While this property of the skin is generally beneficial, it complicates transdermal drug administration. Most of the effective drug delivery methods for various medicines applicable to the human body are injected into the medicine in liquid form through a hypodermic needle. However, hypodermic injection needles with a diameter of about several millimeters irritate multiple pain points on the skin, thereby causing pain to the patient, and a one-time subcutaneous injection usually has a large amount of administration, which is likely to cause toxic and side ...
