Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and particularly to a medicament for skin wound repair and a preparation method of its raw materials and medicinal herbs. Background Art
[0002] Skin wound repair is an important field in clinical medicine. Especially for refractory wounds such as burns and scalds, diabetic foot ulcers, etc., traditional therapeutic drugs have significant limitations. The main problems of the existing technologies are as follows. After conventional homogenization, only through centrifugation or simple filtration, the recovery rate of PrAMPs is less than 40%, and no conformational protection measures are adopted, resulting in the α-helix structure being easily damaged and the antibacterial activity being reduced by more than 50%. Most of the existing processes adopt high-temperature sterilization (>60°C) or strong acid treatment, reducing the fibrinolytic enzyme activity from 800 IU / mL to below 300 IU / mL. Traditional open-air farming uses single cow dung (carbon-nitrogen ratio 1:18 - 1:20), lacking straw to adjust the porosity, resulting in earthworms dying of hypoxia and the population density fluctuating by >30%. No inducer is applied at the key development stage, and the content of PrAMPs in earthworms is only 5 - 8 mg / g, which is difficult to meet the medicinal requirements. High-density farming (>5000 worms / m²) leads to a methane emission of 200 ppm, exceeding the EU standard by 3 times, and the abuse of antibiotics causes the problem of drug-resistant bacteria.
[0003] Due to the low viscosity and fast release of traditional ointments, the drug stays on the wound surface for <2 hours, and multiple administrations are required daily, resulting in poor patient compliance. Although recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF) can accelerate healing, the scar incidence after repair is >70%, and it cannot reverse nerve damage. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics (such as mupirocin) has increased the drug resistance rate of Staphylococcus aureus from 20% to 65%.
[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention breaks through the traditional technical bottleneck and realizes the precise treatment of skin wound repair through an innovative system of biological directional induction - multi-stage ultrafiltration purification - nano-sustained release delivery. Summary of the Invention
[0005] (I) Technical Problems to be Solved
[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present invention provides a medicament for skin wound repair and a preparation method of its raw materials and medicinal herbs.
[0007] (II) Technical Solutions
[0008] A preparation method of a raw material drug for skin wound repair includes the following steps:
[0009] S1, Raw material pretreatment: Place adult Eisenia fetida in a water bath at 40 - 50 °C and shake and wash for 30 minutes. The water bath solution contains 0.1% polysorbate - 80 and 0.05% disodium EDTA. The water bath washing removes impurities and microbial contamination on the earthworm surface, improving the cleanliness of the raw material;
[0010] S2, Shearing and homogenizing: Mix the pretreated earthworms and ultrapure water at a mass ratio of 1:2.

[0011] S3, Alcohol precipitation: Add 95% medical alcohol to the supernatant to adjust the alcohol concentration of the mixed solution to 30 vol%. Let it stand at 1 - 4 °C for 48 hours. During this process, the protein denatures and its structure changes. Specifically: PrAMPs: α - helix structure → PrAMPs: β - sheet conformation. The 30 vol% alcohol gradient precipitation promotes the transformation of the antimicrobial peptide from the α - helix to the β - sheet conformation, and the antibacterial activity is increased by 2.5 times;

Then use a rotary evaporator with a pressure of - 0.09 MPa to filter out 60% of the water at a temperature of 40 °C, and recover the alcohol to a final concentration of 30 vol%;
[0013] S5, Secondary ultrafiltration and preservation: Let the concentrated solution stand at 4 °C for 15 days, then filter it through a 3 kDa ultrafiltration membrane for the second time to obtain a clear liquid.

[0070] Step 2: Rapid preparation process
[0071] Accelerated alcohol precipitation: The standing time at 1 - 4°C was shortened to 36 hours. By adding 0.01% β-mercaptoethanol to protect the disulfide bonds of PrAMPs, the conformational stability increased by 15%.
[0072] Adjusted ultrafiltration parameters: Use a 5 kDa pre-filter membrane to retain macromolecular impurities in combination with a 3 kDa fine filter membrane, and the processing speed increased by 40%.
