Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of capsules, and specifically to a sustained-release and controlled-release hydroxypropyl methylcellulose hollow capsule. Background Art
[0002] As a drug encapsulation material widely used in the fields of modern medicine and functional foods, the capsule shell occupies an irreplaceable core position in the pharmaceutical and health product industries by virtue of its significant technical advantages and convenience. Compared with tablets, the development process of capsules is more straightforward. The drug filling process does not require complex extrusion molding processes and is more convenient and efficient to operate. At the same time, capsules can effectively mask the unpleasant odor or taste of drugs, significantly improving the patient's medication experience. Since Maths first applied gelatin to the invention of medicinal capsules in the early 19th century, capsules have undergone technological innovation and are still the preferred option for dosage form development in industrial production to this day.
[0003] However, traditional capsules are mostly made of gelatin, with miscellaneous sources and uneven quality. In addition, the gelatin capsule shell has poor protection function for drugs sensitive to moisture and oxygen, and there are significant differences in dissolution and disintegration properties in the human stomach and intestines, making it impossible to achieve controlled release of drugs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a capsule that can achieve sustained release and controlled release. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sustained-release and controlled-release hydroxypropyl methylcellulose hollow capsule to solve the problems raised in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A preparation method of a sustained-release and controlled-release hydroxypropyl methylcellulose hollow capsule, comprising the following steps: S1. Prepare antibacterial modified polysaccharide; S11. Disperse dextran in PBS buffer solution, add sodium periodate thereto, stir and react in the dark at room temperature for 18 - 24 h, then add ethylene glycol thereto, continue to stir in the dark for 1 - 1.5 h, place the obtained mixed solution in a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cut-off of 5000 - 15000 Da, dialyze with deionized water for 36 - 60 h, and then lyophilize the obtained product to obtain oxidized dextran; S12. Disperse oxidized dextran in a mixed solvent system with a volume ratio of ultrapure water to dimethyl sulfoxide of 1:1, add acetic acid thereto, adjust the pH value of the system to 5 - 6.5, then add 1-(diaminomethylene)guanidine thereto, raise the temperature to 50 - 75 °C, stir and reflux in the dark for 4 - 12 h, cool to a constant temperature, place it in a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cut-off of 8000 - 20000 Da, dialyze with deionized water for 36 - 60 h, and then lyophilize the obtained product to obtain guanidinylated dextran; S13. Disperse guanidinated dextran into ultrapure water. After adjusting the pH value to 4.5 - 5.5 using acetic acid, add carboxymethyl chitosan and 1,3 - dicyclohexylcarbodiimide thereto again. Continue reflux stirring for 8 - 24 h, then stop heating. Place the obtained mixture into a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cut - off of 50000 - 200000 Da, and perform dialysis treatment with deionized water for 48 - 72 h. Then, lyophilize the obtained product to obtain the antibacterial - modified polysaccharide. S2. Prepare the stock solution of the sustained - release capsule. Heat the ultrapure water to 60 - 65 °C, add hypromellose, antibacterial - modified polysaccharide, pigment, opacifier, and polyethylene glycol thereto, and mix them by magnetic stirring for 15 - 30 min. Then, perform high - speed dispersion homogenization on it for 3 - 5 min again, and conduct vacuum defoaming treatment to obtain the stock solution of the sustained - release capsule. S3. Prepare the sustained - release and controlled - release hypromellose hollow capsule. Immerse the capsule mold into the stock solution of the sustained - release capsule. After complete immersion, take it out and turn it over evenly, and place it in an environment at 40 - 50 °C for drying to obtain the sustained - release and controlled - release hypromellose hollow capsule.
[0006] Further, in step S11, the Mw of the dextran is 50000 - 100000.
[0007] Further, in step S11, by weight, the mass ratio of the dextran, sodium periodate, and ethylene glycol is 1:(0.4 - 1):(0.3 - 0.5).
[0008] Further, in step S12, by weight, the mass ratio of the oxidized dextran and 1 - (diaminomethylene)guanidine is 1:(0.1 - 0.6).
[0009] Further, in step S13, by weight, the mass ratio of the guanidinated dextran, carboxymethyl chitosan, and 1,3 - dicyclohexylcarbodiimide is 1:(0.25 - 0.7):(0.05 - 0.08).
[0010] Further, in step S2, by weight, the stock solution of the sustained - release capsule is composed of 75 - 110 parts of hypromellose, 30 - 60 parts of antibacterial - modified polysaccharide, 0.05 - 0.8 part of pigment, 0.2 - 0.9 part of opacifier, 10 - 30 parts of polyethylene glycol, and 300 - 450 parts of ultrapure water.
[0011] Further, in step S2, the polyethylene glycol is any one of polyethylene glycol 400, polyethylene glycol 600, and polyethylene glycol 800.
[0012] Further, in step S2, the pigment is any one of edible pigments; the opacifier is titanium dioxide.
[0013] Furthermore, a sustained-release and controlled-release hypromellose hollow capsule is prepared by the above method.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In order to achieve a long-term sustained-release and controlled-release effect of the drug, the present invention improves the hard shell of the capsule. When preparing the hard shell of the capsule, in order to achieve the purpose of slow release in the gastrointestinal tract, hypromellose is used as the main raw material of the shell. Hypromellose will form a gel in gastric juice, wrapping the drug components, thereby realizing the delayed release of the drug. On this basis, in order to achieve the purpose of controlled release, the present application also adds and prepares an antibacterial modified polysaccharide component in the raw material components. Using dextran as the raw material, aldehyde groups are generated after ring-opening oxidation with sodium periodate. The present invention further uses an excessive amount of 1-(diaminomethylene)guanidine containing guanidine and amino groups to react with the aldehyde groups in oxidized dextran, thereby introducing an amino structure into the oxidized dextran structure. Furthermore, the present invention further uses carboxymethyl chitosan to react with guanidinylated dextran, and uses the residual amino groups in 1-(diaminomethylene)guanidine to further introduce a chitosan polysaccharide structure into the polysaccharide, increasing the polysaccharide molecular weight and improving its film-forming performance. And the cross-linking of amino groups and carboxyl groups further improves the compactness and barrier properties of the capsule shell after curing and drying, enhancing the protection performance of the drug; The hollow capsule prepared by the present invention is suitable for taking drugs before meals. The residence time of the empty capsule in the stomach when taken on an empty stomach is generally 0.5 - 2 hours. During this time, since the antibacterial modified polysaccharide added in the preparation of the capsule shell by the present invention contains a chitosan structure, compared with hypromellose, the chitosan structure can be initially disintegrated in the gastric acid environment, so that the drug can be initially released in the stomach, and thus has a certain drug release function after taking. The remaining drugs will still be wrapped by hypromellose and enter the intestine, thereby realizing slow release in the intestine, so that the drug can maintain a relatively stable level in the human body; And the present invention takes into account that some drug capsules will be stored in a medicine bottle that is taken multiple times. During the multiple storage processes, the capsules will inevitably come into contact with the external environment and be contaminated by external miscellaneous bacteria. Therefore, the guanidine and chitosan structures added in the hollow capsule shell prepared by the present invention can also provide excellent antibacterial and anti-pollution capabilities for the capsule, avoiding the growth and pollution of miscellaneous bacteria and maintaining the efficacy of the drug for a long time.
