Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of anti-human papillomavirus, and particularly relates to an anti-human papillomavirus gel and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a spherical DNA virus that widely exists in nature. It has humans as the only host, is highly resistant to drying and can be stored for a long time. Currently, only more than 150 known HPV subtypes can be divided into low-risk types and high-risk types according to the severity of the diseases they cause.

[0003] Leukocytes (English name: leukocyte, white blood cell, abbreviation: WBC), formerly known as white blood cells, are a type of cell in the blood. Leukocytes are also commonly referred to as immune cells, and their main function is to phagocytose bacteria and defend against diseases. Natural killer cells (NK) are a type of leukocyte, which are not only related to anti-tumor, anti-viral infection and immune regulation, but also participate in the occurrence of hypersensitivity reactions and autoimmune diseases in some cases. NK cells in peripheral blood are separated by magnetic beads and amplified with a suitable culture medium, then the culture is collected, and after filtration and impurity removal, ultrafiltration and purification are carried out to obtain NK cell exosomes. The main components of the product obtained by this method are exosomes and some large-molecular-weight proteins, etc. Its uses mainly include enhancing immunity, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, etc., and there are reports indicating that NK cells also have significant effects on improving skin conditions.

[0004] Although NK cells, as immune cells, also show powerful functions in the beauty field, cells cannot be directly used to make gynecological gel products, not only because cells cannot survive for a long time outside a specific environment, but also because cells cannot directly act on human skin. The effective components secreted by cells, such as exosomes and cytokines, also cannot exist stably at room temperature and will inactivate and lose their efficacy in a short time. Currently, many anti-HPV gels have been successively launched on the market, but most rely on physical isolation methods supplemented with components that promote wound healing, and have a long treatment course and high cost. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides an anti-human papillomavirus gel and a preparation method thereof, and the NK cell exosomes are made into freeze-dried powder to maximize the purpose of maintaining the activity of the effective components of NK cell exosomes.

[0006] The present invention solves its technical problems by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide an anti-human papillomavirus gel, which comprises NK cell supernatant exosomes and a gel. The gel comprises carbomer, β-glucan, triethanolamine, methylparaben and propylparaben.

[0008] Further, the concentration of carbomer is 1% - 10%, the concentration of β-glucan is 0.5 - 1.5%, the concentration of triethanolamine is 0.2 - 1.5%, the concentration of methylparaben is 0.1 - 0.5%, and the concentration of propylparaben is 0.1 - 0.5%.

[0009] Further, the NK cell exosomes are purified with a 100 kDa ultrafiltration tube, frozen at -80 - -45 °C and then dried to form a lyophilized powder.

[0010] Further, the total protein content of the NK cell exosomes is 20 - 100 ng / 100 g of the gel.

[0011] A preparation method of an anti-human papillomavirus gel comprises the following steps:

[0012] S1. Preparation of NK cell exosomes: Centrifuge to separate NK cells and the supernatant medium, collect the medium for standby; after the collected NK cell precipitate is processed, mix it with the supernatant, then perform preliminary impurity removal and detection. After passing the detection, the NK cell culture is immediately purified and concentrated with a 100 kDa ultrafiltration tube and the total protein content is detected;

[0013] S2. Preparation of the lyophilized powder: Aliquot the NK cell exosomes prepared in S1 into ampoules, 5 - 10 mL per bottle; after freezing, form a lyophilized powder, and extract one bottle of the lyophilized powder to detect whether the total protein content meets the expectation. Those that meet the expectation are aliquoted into the lyophilized powder chamber, and the freeze-drying chamber containing the lyophilized powder is stored temporarily in the refrigerator;

[0014] S3: Preparation of the gel: Weigh carbomer, soak it in ultrapure water to dissolve and then sterilize; weigh β-glucan to dissolve, then add methylparaben and propylparaben to β-glucan and mix evenly. Mix the carbomer, triethanolamine and β-glucan mixed solution evenly, add sterile water to make up the volume to form a gel, and fill it into a gel tube.

[0015] Further, in S1, the NK cells are treated with a PBS buffer containing 0.3% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes and then mixed with the supernatant, and are preliminarily purified with a 0.22 μm filter, and endotoxin and mycoplasma are detected. After passing the detection, the NK cell culture is immediately purified and concentrated with a 100 kDa ultrafiltration tube and the total protein content of the collected exosomes is detected.

[0016] Further, in S2, a sterile water chamber filled with sterile water is also prepared. The sterile water chamber is filled with 100 μL of sterile water, and the sterile water chamber is detachably connected to the freeze-drying chamber and then stored temporarily in the refrigerator at 4 °C.

[0017] Furthermore, the preparation method further includes perfusion of the sterile water in the sterile water tank into the freeze-drying chamber, shaking the freeze-drying chamber to dissolve the freeze-dried powder of NK cell exosomes, and then perfusion of the dissolved freeze-dried powder of NK cell exosomes into the gel tube filled with gel, and using a syringe to assist in drug administration.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] The present invention provides an anti-human papillomavirus gel containing NK cell exosomes. Making the NK cell exosomes into freeze-dried powder can maximize the preservation of the activity of its active ingredients. β-glucan also has a good effect in promoting wound healing. The combination of NK cell exosomes and β-glucan repairs the damaged vaginal mucosa and eliminates the virus at the same time, improving the types of microbial flora. Carbomer forms a barrier on the surface of the vaginal mucosa, hindering the contact of pathogenic microorganisms. The present invention repairs the damaged vaginal mucosa while killing the virus, rather than relying on the method of killing and removing epidermal cells to achieve the treatment purpose. The present invention uses bioactive substances as raw materials, does not produce drug resistance, improves the vaginal flora environment, enhances resistance, and avoids re-infection with the virus.

In order to be able to understand the technical means of the present invention more clearly, it can be implemented according to the content of the specification. And in order to make the above content, its purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following specifically illustrates the specific embodiments of the present invention.

[0037] Example 4

[0038] An applicator for anti-human papillomavirus gel, as Figure 1 shown, includes a gel tube 1 filled with gel, a freeze-drying chamber 2 filled with freeze-dried powder of NK cell exosomes, a sterile water chamber 3 filled with sterile water, and a pusher 4. The sterile water chamber 3 is detachably connected to the freeze-drying chamber 2. One end of the sterile water chamber 3 is provided with a pull ring 5. One end of the freeze-drying chamber 2 and one end of the gel tube 1 both have detachable lids. The end of the freeze-drying chamber 2 with the lid is sealed with an aluminum film. The end of the gel tube 1 with the lid may be provided with a sharp part for piercing the aluminum film at the bottom of the freeze-drying chamber 2.

[0039] Usage method of the applicator:

[0040] 1. Remove the pull ring 5, press the sterile water chamber 3 to pour the sterile water into the freeze-dried powder area in the freeze-drying chamber 2, and gently shake the freeze-drying chamber 2 to dissolve the freeze-dried powder of NK cell exosomes.

In order to make up for this shortcoming, the present invention selects to make the cell exosomes into freeze-dried powder, which is separately packaged in different containers from the sterile water. The two different containers are connected together, and pressing can release the sterile water to dissolve the freeze-dried powder. After the freeze-dried powder part and the gel part are buckled together, the reconstituted NK cell exosomes are poured into the gel, shaken and mixed evenly, and then the medicine is applied using the pusher 4.
