Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and particularly relates to an EGF temperature-sensitive gel and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The recombinant human epidermal growth factor products on the market are roughly divided into external solution, gel and the like.

[0003] The external solution is convenient and flexible to use, generally provided with a spraying device or a dropper, and can be easily sprayed or dripped on the wound surface according to the size and shape of the wound surface, and has a light texture, can be quickly dried to form a protective film after being applied or sprayed on the wound surface, and does not bring obvious heavy or uncomfortable feeling to the patient, and is suitable for irregular shape, large area or difficult to bandage wound surface. The solution can make the recombinant human epidermal growth factor quickly play a role, but compared with some sustained-release dosage forms, the sustained action time of the drug on the wound surface is relatively short, and the drug needs to be given more frequently, which affects the medication compliance of the patient. Moreover, the solution has relatively large fluidity and is easy to lose, and after being applied or sprayed on the wound surface, if the position of the wound surface is not conducive to the drug retention, such as vertical or inclined wound surface, the drug may flow due to gravity, so that the drug cannot fully stay and play a role on the wound surface, and needs to be applied or sprayed multiple times or additional fixing measures are needed. In addition, the solution is more susceptible to environmental influences during use. If the use environment has relatively large humidity or the wound surface has relatively much exudate, the external solution may be diluted, the drug concentration is reduced, and the treatment effect is affected. Moreover, when used on an open wound surface, if the surrounding environment is not clean, the solution may be more susceptible to contamination.

[0004] The gel is an active and attractive carrier, and compared with other semi-solid and liquid preparations, is less greasy, easy to clean, has longer retention time than liquid formula, and is more convenient to use. The gel dosage form can make the recombinant human epidermal growth factor slowly release through the diffusion and dissolution of the matrix, can maintain an effective concentration on the wound surface for a long time, continuously play a drug effect, reduce the frequency of drug use, and improve the medication compliance of the patient. However, due to the relatively thick texture of the gel, the amount of the gel may be relatively difficult to accurately control during application, especially for the case where the drug dosage needs to be strictly controlled, and there may be certain difficulties. If the application skill is not skilled or the wound surface is complex, the gel may not be uniformly applied, resulting in that the drug concentration is too high in part of the wound surface, and the drug coverage is insufficient in part of the wound surface, which affects the treatment effect. In addition, the gel may form a relatively difficult-to-clean film on the wound surface after drying, and is not easy to clean. If not cleaned thoroughly, the residual gel may affect the absorption of the subsequent drug and the observation of the wound surface, and may also cause adverse stimulation to the wound surface.

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the solution and the general gel in clinical application, there is an urgent need for a high-affinity local drug delivery system.

[0103] (3) Experimental results

[0104] Table 2 Comparison of stability of each prescription-EGF content percentage

[0105]

[0106]

[0107] According to the content percentage data in Table 2, after 4 weeks of sampling at 25°C, the contents of each comparison batch have different trends. Among them, the EGF content in comparison prescription 1 has a more obvious downward trend, indicating that sodium edetate can effectively protect EGF and improve the stability of EGF in the gel.

[0108] Compared with prescription 2, the EGF content showed a more obvious downward trend, indicating that the stability of the EGF protein in the prescription containing the antibacterial agent was reduced; in addition, the amount of poloxamer added in this comparative example was only 5%, resulting in the prepared sample being a viscous solution rather than a gel, and not having temperature-sensitive properties.

[0109] In Comparative Example 3, the EGF content showed a certain downward trend. When the pH value was not adjusted, the pH value of the gel was about 6.0, which indicated that EGF had better stability in an environment with a pH value of 6.7.

[0110] Table 3 Comparison of stability of various formulations - in vitro activity

[0111]

[0112] According to the in vitro activity data in Table 3, after samples of each batch were stored at 25°C for 4 weeks, the in vitro activity of each comparative batch showed different trends. Among them, the in vitro activity of comparative formula 1 showed the most obvious downward trend, indicating that the addition of edetate disodium can effectively slow down the activity decline. The in vitro activity of comparative formula 2 showed a significant downward trend, indicating that the addition of antibacterial agents exacerbated the decrease in EGF activity. The in vitro activity of comparative formula 3 showed a significant downward trend, indicating that EGF is more stable in an environment with a pH value of 6.7.

[0113] In summary, the addition of disodium edetate can effectively protect EGF and make EGF more stable in the gel; the addition of antibacterial agents reduces the stability of EGF in the gel; EGF is more stable in an environment of pH 6.7.

[0114] From the above experimental results, it can be seen that after the thermosensitive gels of prescriptions 1-6 were placed at 25°C for 4 weeks, the EGF content did not change significantly, the rate of decrease in in vitro activity was slower than that of the solution, and the overall stability was significantly better than that of the solution and the control prescription.

[0115] Thermosensitive gels are temperature-sensitive and typically liquid at lower temperatures. They exhibit good fluidity, making them easy to administer and apply or inject to the desired area. When heated to or slightly above body temperature, they rapidly undergo a phase transition from liquid to gel, forming a stable gel at the site of action. This property allows them to better adapt to the human body's physiological environment.

[0116] This characteristic of forming a gel in situ at body temperature enables it to tightly fill and fit wounds or tissue gaps of various shapes and sizes. Compared with solutions, it will not cause drug loss due to flow. Compared with traditional gels, it can better adapt to irregular wounds, increase the contact area and fit between the drug and the site of action, and thus exert a more effective therapeutic effect.

[0117] The in-situ formed gel state of the temperature-sensitive gel can form a relatively closed environment, which not only prevents the invasion of external bacteria and other microorganisms and reduces the risk of wound infection, but also, compared with common gel agents, the tight gel structure formed at body temperature can be more conducive to blocking the penetration of microorganisms and provides a cleaner environment for wound healing.

[0118] The above describes the embodiments of the present application. However, the present application is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
