Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative and its application, belonging to the technical field of crosslinking. Background Art

[0002] Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronic acid, is a high-molecular-weight polyanionic polymer and an unbranched glycosaminoglycan. Its disaccharide repeating unit consists of D-glucuronic acid and D-N-acetylglucosamine alternately linked by β-1-4 and β-1-3 glycosidic bonds. Hyaluronic acid exhibits a variety of important physiological functions in the body due to its unique molecular structure and physicochemical properties, such as lubricating joints, regulating the permeability of blood vessel walls, and promoting wound healing. Particularly importantly, hyaluronic acid has a special water retention effect and is the best moisturizing substance found in nature so far, known as the ideal natural moisturizing factor. Moreover, hyaluronic acid is also a good transdermal absorption promoter while moisturizing. Research shows that a large amount of hyaluronic acid is also contained in skin tissues, and the process of human skin maturation and aging also changes with the content and metabolism of hyaluronic acid. Transdermal absorption or injection of hyaluronic acid can improve the nutritional metabolism of skin tissues, making the skin tender, smooth, and having the effects of removing wrinkles, increasing elasticity, and preventing aging.

[0003] However, after non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (i.e., a hyaluronic acid solution without any modification or modification) is injected into skin tissues, it will be quickly degraded under the combined action of hyaluronidase and reactive oxygen species free radicals (ROS) present in the skin tissues and is usually completely degraded within one week. This makes the half-life of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid in skin tissues less than two days. Therefore, non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid cannot achieve the therapeutic effect required as a skin filler. The crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel for subcutaneous injection can not only instantly deeply moisturize, increase skin elasticity and tension, help restore the normal oil level balance of the skin, improve dry and loose skin, but also provide a clinical duration of soft tissue filling for 1 year or more for skin tissues. Therefore, currently, crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel is mainly selected as a skin filler for clinical use.

[0004] The crosslinking of hyaluronic acid refers to the intermolecular crosslinking reaction between hyaluronic acid and a crosslinking agent with relevant functional groups, or the intramolecular crosslinking reaction with the crosslinking agent as a catalyst, resulting in a molecular network structure with different degrees of crosslinking, thereby increasing the molecular chain length of hyaluronic acid, increasing the average molecular weight, enhancing the viscoelasticity, relatively weakening the water solubility, and improving the mechanical strength. Among them, due to the leading stability and biodegradability of other crosslinking agents such as divinyl sulfone and 2,7,8-diepoxyoctane, at present, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) is the most commonly used crosslinking agent in hyaluronic acid fillers. However, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether has been found to be mutagenic in Drosophila model organisms, which seriously affects its biosafety. It is urgent to find a hyaluronic acid crosslinking agent with good stability, biodegradability, and higher biosafety. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The present invention also provides a skin filler, and the components of the skin filler include the above crosslinked product.

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention provides a poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative. This poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative is completely different in structure from the existing crosslinking agents such as 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), divinyl sulfone, and glycidyl methacrylate, and can be used as a crosslinking agent for crosslinking natural polymers such as polysaccharides (such as hyaluronic acid) and proteins, as well as synthetic polymers such as polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl alcohol. Compared with the existing crosslinking agents, the advantages of this poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative are as follows: First, due to the presence of multiple ether bonds in the molecule, the water solubility of this poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative is better than that of the traditional crosslinking agent BDDE. Under the same number of moles and the same reaction conditions, this poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative is more likely to crosslink with high-molecular polymers such as hyaluronic acid to form crosslinked products such as sodium hyaluronate gel; Second, since this poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative crosslinking agent has more epoxy crosslinking groups than traditional crosslinking agents such as BDDE, the crosslinked products such as sodium hyaluronate gel prepared by using this poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative are more stable and uniform; Third, since the number of repeating units of this poly-(2-oxazoline) is relatively easy to adjust and the length is relatively easy to control, the properties of the crosslinked products prepared by using it as a crosslinking agent are relatively easy to regulate; Fourth, since the toxicity of this poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative is significantly reduced compared with BDDE, the crosslinked products such as sodium hyaluronate gel prepared by using it as a crosslinking agent have enhanced safety as human soft tissue fillers, avoiding the adverse reactions that may be caused by the toxicity of the existing crosslinking agent BDDE.

[0036] In summary, in addition to having advantages such as high efficiency (high reaction activity), stronger product uniformity, higher stability, and lower toxicity, this poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative can also provide more crosslinking sites for the crosslinking of high-molecular polymers such as hyaluronic acid, achieving the purpose of better crosslinking effects with less dosage, and has great application prospects in the preparation of crosslinked products.

[0037] 2. The present invention provides a crosslinked product, which is obtained by crosslinking a high-molecular polymer under the action of a poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative. Research shows that the crosslinked product prepared by using this poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative as a crosslinking agent has good enzymatic stability and good uniformity, and has great application prospects in the preparation of skin fillers.

[0068] Experimental Example 1: Performance verification experiment of the modified sodium hyaluronate gel for injection This experiment provides a performance verification experiment of poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative. The specific process is as follows: 1. In vitro enzymatic hydrolysis stability experiment Take 0.5 g of modified sodium hyaluronate gel for injection, add 2 mL of hyaluronidase solution (purchased from Sinopharm) at 300 U / mL, incubate at 37 °C for 40 h for degradation to obtain a degradation product; add PBS buffer (purchased from Sinopharm) to the degradation product and dilute it to 5 mL to obtain a diluted degradation product; after adding 4 mL of absolute ethanol to 1 mL of the diluted degradation product, centrifuge at 10000 r / min for 15 min. After centrifugation, take the supernatant; dilute 2 mL of the supernatant to 5 mL with PBS buffer to obtain solution A. Take another 0.5 g of modified sodium hyaluronate gel for injection, add 10 mL of 0.5 mo1 / L sulfuric acid solution, and hydrolyze in a boiling water bath for 15 min to obtain a hydrolysis product; dilute the hydrolysis product with water to 100 mL to obtain solution B. Take 1 mL of solution A and solution B respectively, and measure the glucuronic acid content by the modified carbazole colorimetric method (see the literature "Zhang Suwen, Li Hongmei, Hou Xiuju, et al. Degradation test study of cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel for injection [J]. Chemical Research, 2023, 34(6): 527-532."). Calculate the in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis stability of the gel according to the glucuronic acid content. The in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis stability of the gel is represented by the coefficient R, and R = 1 - 0.625A / B, where A is the glucuronic acid content of solution A and B is the glucuronic acid content of solution B. The higher the R value, the better the in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis stability of the gel. This result can be used to judge whether the gel cross-linked by the cross-linking agent is stable. The detection results of the in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis stability are shown in Table 1.

[0069] 2. Pushing force test Using a Fangneng mechanical tester, through the extrusion force experiment, understand the actual use situation of the cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel, which is one of the evaluation indicators of product quality. Push the push rod at a constant speed of 20 mm / min, and the sample in the syringe is extruded through a 29G needle to obtain a pushing force curve, so as to see the change of the pushing force during the extrusion process of the sample. If the pushing force is small, the sample is easy to be extruded; if the pushing force is large, the sample is not easy to be extruded; in addition, if the height difference of the pushing force is large, it indicates that the sample has uneven dispersion or aggregation and concentration phenomena, which will also affect the comfort during injection. Table 2 records the change of the pushing force during the gel extrusion process. The pushing force experiment data of the sodium hyaluronate gel cross-linked by epoxy polymer (poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative) and the pushing force experiment data of the sodium hyaluronate gel cross-linked by ether (BDDE) are shown in Figure 12 . If the pushing force curve fluctuates greatly, the uniformity of the gel is poor.

[0070] From the results of Table 1 - Table 2 and Figure 12 it can be seen that the sodium hyaluronate gel cross-linked by epoxy polymer (i.e., poly-(2-oxazoline) epoxy derivative) is superior to the sodium hyaluronate gel cross-linked by ether (BDDE) in terms of in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis stability and uniformity.
