Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a multilayer polymer microneedle, belonging to the field of microneedle transdermal drug delivery. According to the invention, an insoluble hard substrate microneedle is prepared by using a micro-hot embossing process; a drug solution is dried on the surface of a needle body of a microneedle in a multi-spraying manner; thus, a multi-layer drug structure is obtained. Meanwhile, sodium hyaluronate is coated onto the outer layer of the multi-layer drug structure, so a polymer microneedle with a substrate layer, a drug layer and a rapid release layeris obtained. Compared with a conventional microneedle, the microneedle provided by the invention can be stacked in multiple layers in a certain needle length range, so the variety of loadable drugs isincreased. And the insoluble substrate microneedle is prepared by utilizing the micro-hot embossing process, so simple process operation and high micromachining precision are realized, and the periodof preparation is greatly shortened. In addition, by changing of the thickness of outer-layer sodium hyaluronate, the purpose of controlling the dissolution speed of a drug is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical microneedle drug delivery system, in particular to a method for preparing multilayer polymer microneedles. Background technique [0002] Microneedles are a relatively new form of transdermal drug delivery. They generally consist of a group of 25-2000 μm long needle tips arranged on a base, and achieve the purpose of minimally invasive and painless drug delivery by piercing the stratum corneum of the skin. At present, from the perspective of materials, microneedles are mainly divided into silicon, metal or polymer microneedles. Because polymer microneedles have good biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, low processing cost and sufficient strength, they are expected to replace silicon and metal microneedles and have great development potential. At present, most polymer microneedles use a single type. Although single-type polymer microneedles have the advantages of good biocompatibility and simple manufactu...
