Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of biomedicine and biomaterials, and more specifically, to a sperm-friendly medical lubricant and its preparation method. Background Art
[0002] Lubricants enhance sexual pleasure, promote harmonious sex lives, and strengthen the bond between couples, making them an essential part of daily life for couples. Beyond lubrication, people have higher expectations for vaginal lubricants, such as reducing vaginal damage, minimizing bacterial and viral infections, and being sperm-friendly or having a sperm-inactivating effect. Couples trying to conceive often avoid lubricants to improve the quality of conception, which can negatively impact sexual experience and lead to mucosal damage and vaginal microenvironment imbalance, ultimately hindering conception. Therefore, developing sperm-friendly lubricants is of practical significance in assisting conception.
[0003] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention proposes a sperm-friendly medical lubricant and its preparation method. The lubricant is sperm-friendly, does not damage sperm activity and motility, and can protect the vaginal mucosa, prevent inflammation, and maintain a healthy balance of the vaginal environment.
[0005] This invention is implemented as follows:
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a sperm-friendly medical lubricant comprising the following components: an aqueous matrix, an active ingredient, a phosphate, a humectant, an osmotic pressure regulator, and water; wherein the active ingredient comprises small molecule peptidoglycan and basic polypeptides.
[0007] Basic peptides can gently increase the vaginal pH environment, which is beneficial for maintaining sperm motility, while reducing the impact on the vaginal environment and exerting antibacterial effects. Small molecule peptidoglycans have good adhesion to vaginal epithelial cells. Adhesion to vaginal epithelial cells can prevent basic peptides from irritating the vaginal wall. At the same time, it can trigger local immune regulation, enhance the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors and the immune response of macrophages, and improve the vagina's ability to resist pathogen infection.
[0008] In some embodiments, the lubricant satisfies at least one of the following conditions 1 to 3:
[0009] Condition 1: The small molecule peptidoglycan is derived from Lactobacillus;
[0010] Condition 2: The molecular weight of the small molecule peptidoglycan is 30-100 kDa; for example, it can be any value in the range of 30 kDa, 40 kDa, 50 kDa, 60 kDa, 70 kDa, 80 kDa, 90 kDa, 100 kDa, etc.
[0011] Condition 3: The isoelectric point pI of the basic polypeptide satisfies 9.5≤pI≤11.5; for example, it can be any value among 9.5, 9.8, 10, 10.2, 10.5, 10.8, 11.5, or 9.5~11.5kDa.
[0012] The isoelectric point (pI) of the alkaline polypeptide used in this invention satisfies 9.5 ≤ pI ≤ 11.5. If it is too high, it will cause pH imbalance in the vagina and induce vaginal inflammation; if it is too low, it will be difficult to exert the effect of raising the pH of the vaginal environment.
[0013] In some embodiments, the lubricant satisfies at least one of the following conditions 4 to 5:
[0014] Condition 4: The active ingredient also includes antioxidants, which include small molecule antioxidants and / or peptide antioxidants;
[0015] Condition 5: The active ingredient also includes teichoic acid.
[0016] Small molecule antioxidants can effectively alleviate sperm damage caused by reactive oxygen species, reduce sperm lipid peroxidation and DNA oxidative damage, and maintain the integrity of the sperm plasma membrane and acrosome. Antioxidant peptides protect cells from oxidative stress through multiple mechanisms, including scavenging free radicals, chelating metal ions (such as calcium, copper, and iron ions), and activating antioxidant enzyme systems, thus preventing sperm oxidation. The combination of small molecule antioxidants and peptide antioxidants can effectively improve sperm's antioxidant capacity, prolong its activity, and maintain its motility.
[0017] This invention preserves teichoic acid during the preparation of small molecule peptidoglycan. Teichoic acid is a key component of the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria. It can play an immunomodulatory role, enhance the immune response of macrophages, inhibit the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors, and play an anti-inflammatory role. At the same time, it can also promote the tight junction of keratinocytes and enhance the skin barrier function.
[0018] In some embodiments, the basic polypeptide is LL-37 or a derivative thereof; the amino acid sequence of LL-37 is LLGDFFRKSKEKIGKEFKRIVQRIKDFLRNLVPRTES, with a pI of 10.61, and it is a human-derived basic polypeptide with antibacterial activity.

[0025] In some embodiments, the small molecule antioxidant accounts for 0.02% to 0.1% of the total mass of the lubricant; for example, it can be any value among 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.09%, or 0.02% to 0.1%.
[0026] In some embodiments, the polypeptide antioxidant accounts for 0.05% to 0.2% of the total mass of the lubricant; for example, it can be any value among 0.05%, 0.08%, 0.1%, 0.12%, 0.14%, 0.16%, 0.18%, 0.2%, or 0.05% to 0.2%.
[0027] In some embodiments, the humectant accounts for 2% to 10% of the total mass of the lubricant; for example, it can be any value among 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, or 2% to 10%.

[0131] Test Example 1 High Performance Liquid Chromatography
[0132] High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to purify and identify small molecule peptidoglycans. The sample was dissolved in water to prepare a 1 mg / mL solution, which was then filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. Test conditions: chromatographic column model: TSK-GEL G4000PW. XL The wavelength was 225 nm, the mobile phase was water, the flow rate was 0.6 mL / min, and the injection volume was 20 μL. The test samples were small molecule peptidoglycans from Examples 1, 8, and 9, and a mixture of small molecule peptidoglycans and teichoic acid from Example 5. The results are shown in the appendix. Figure 1 .
[0133] From the appendix Figure 1It can be seen that Examples 1, 8, and 9 each have one strong peak, while Example 5 has two relatively strong peaks, indicating that the small molecule peptidoglycan or its mixture with teichoic acid prepared by the method provided by this invention has high purity.
[0134] Test Example 2: Vaginal Mucosal Irritation Test
[0135] Vaginal mucosal irritation tests were conducted according to the "Disinfection Technical Specifications" (3rd edition) under the "Disinfection Agent Toxicology Experimental Techniques." Twelve healthy, adult female rabbits weighing 2-3 kg were randomly divided into five groups of three, corresponding to Examples 1, 4, 5, and 7, and a blank control group, respectively. One 0.01 mL lubricant was administered vaginally once daily via syringe. The blank control group received an equal volume of physiological saline. Administration continued for five days. Twenty-four hours after the last administration, the animals were euthanized using an air embolization method, and the intact vaginal tissue was removed via laparotomy. The tissue was longitudinally incised to observe for signs of congestion and edema. The vaginal tissue was then fixed in 10% formalin solution for 24 hours. Tissue sections from three locations—both ends and the center of the vagina—were prepared, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE), and subjected to histopathological examination. Results were evaluated according to the vaginal mucosal irritation response scoring criteria in the "Disinfection Technical Specifications," which graded the intensity of the irritation response.
[0136] Table 1
[0137]
[0138] As can be seen from Table 1, the average scores of Examples 1 and 4 provided by the present invention are less than 1, indicating no stimulation, while the scores of Examples 5 and 7 are slightly greater than 1, indicating very mild stimulation, all of which are within the specified range.
[0139] Test Example 3 Adhesion Test
[0140] (1) Human vaginal epithelial cells VK2 / E6E7 were transplanted into 12-well plates and cultured in DMEM F12 medium until the cell plate formation rate reached 80%. The medium was then removed and the cells were washed twice with PBS. Then, 1 mL of the test sample solution (experimental group) or PBS buffer (blank group) was added to each well, and the plates were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 2 h. Each experimental group had one blank group, and each group had 3 wells.
[0141] (2) Carefully remove the culture supernatant, add PBS and wash 3 times to remove unadhered test samples; add 0.2 mL of trypsin digestion solution per well and digest for 5 min to allow the cells to detach from the well wall of the cell culture plate. Collect the solution and centrifuge (10 min, 12000×g, RT). Wash (0.2 mL PBS buffer) three times and collect all supernatant. Add PBS buffer to make up to 2 mL.
[0142] (3) SCM-PEG-Azide (polyethylene glycol succinimide acetate with a molecular weight of 1000 g / mol, purchased from Xi'an Kaixin Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was dispersed in PBS solution to obtain a 20 mM azidation solution. Then, it was mixed with the supernatant from step (2) at a volume ratio of 1:1 and reacted for 4 h. The reaction solution was transferred to a dialysis bag and dialyzed for 12 h. The remaining liquid was brought to a final volume of 50 mL to obtain an azid-modified peptidoglycan solution.
[0143] (4) Take 10 μL of azide-modified peptidoglycan solution, add 5 μL of 5-FAMAlkyne dimethyl sulfoxide solution (18 mM, alkynyl fluorescein, purchased from Shaanxi Xinyan Bomei Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) and 2 μL of copper catalyst aqueous solution (containing 3.91 mM CuSO4, 7.82 mM TBTA, and 33 mM sodium ascorbate), react at 37℃ for 3 h, and analyze the fluorescence intensity using a fluorescence spectrophotometer after the reaction.
[0144] The adhesion of the test sample to human vaginal epithelial cells was evaluated by subtracting the average fluorescence intensity of the corresponding blank group from the average fluorescence intensity of each experimental group. The results are listed in Table 2.
[0145] Test Example 4: Cell Viability Test
[0146] The precipitate after centrifugation and washing in step (2) of test example 3 was redispersed in an equal volume of PBS solution to obtain a suspension. An equal volume of the suspension was taken out and observed under a microscope to count the proportion of live cells. Cell survival rate = (number of live cells in the experimental group ÷ total number of cells in the experimental group) / (number of live cells in the corresponding blank group ÷ total number of cells in the corresponding blank group) × 100%. The results are listed in Table 2.
[0147] Table 2
[0148]
[0149]
[0150] Note: Basic proteins also have a certain degree of adhesion to cells, which has a significant impact on the results and may lead to inaccuracies. Therefore, only the cell viability rate is statistically analyzed.
[0151] As shown in Table 2, with increasing concentration of small molecule peptidoglycan, more peptidoglycan adhered to the cell surface, but cell viability also decreased. This is because peptidoglycan can trigger cellular inflammatory responses; excessive dosage can lead to excessive cell stress and damage. Cell viability remained relatively high at concentrations up to 2 g / L (or 0.2 wt%). Comparison of experimental groups 2, 4, and 5 revealed that the molecular weight of small molecule peptidoglycan affected both adhesion and cell viability. Adhesion initially increased and then decreased with increasing molecular weight because higher molecular weight leads to better film-forming properties, but excessively high molecular weight reduces solubility and causes molecular chain coiling, thus reducing the surface area for cell adhesion and consequently decreasing adhesion. Cell viability decreased with decreasing molecular weight of peptidoglycan because lower molecular weight results in higher membrane permeability and stronger cytotoxicity. The addition of teichoic acid in experimental group 6, while competitive with peptidoglycan adhesion, reduced peptidoglycan adhesion but had little effect on cell viability. From experimental groups 7 to 11, the addition of small molecule peptidoglycan (and teichoic acid) reduced the influence of basic proteins on cell viability. Experimental group 11, which did not have the addition of small molecule peptidoglycan (and teichoic acid), had a lower cell survival rate.
[0152] Test Example 4: Sperm Quality Test
[0153] Sperm samples were collected from three healthy 24-year-old men, diluted to 30 × 10⁶ / mL, and cultured in medium containing different lubricants. The samples were incubated at 35°C for 6 hours in a CO₂ incubator before testing. The lubricant-containing medium was prepared by mixing an equal volume of lubricant with BWW medium (purchased from Shanghai Renjie Biotechnology Co., Ltd.).
[0154] 4.1 Sperm motility test
[0155] The proportion of sperm that move forward after culture was measured using a sperm motility testing system (Beijing Weili). The average value of three male samples was taken, and the results are listed in Table 3.
[0156] 4.2 Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index Test
[0157] The integrity of sperm nuclear DNA after culture was detected using the sperm chromatin diffusion method. Reagents were purchased from Shenzhen Huakang, and the procedure was performed according to the instruction manual. Results interpretation: 400 sperm were randomly observed under a conventional microscope. A halo width ≥ 2 / 3 of the sperm head diameter was considered a large halo, > 1 / 4 and < 2 / 3 a medium halo, ≤ 1 / 4 a small halo, and no halo was considered absent. Large and medium halos indicated intact sperm nuclear DNA, while small and absent halos indicated DNA fragmentation. Calculation method: DNA fragmentation index = (number of sperm with large halos + number of sperm with medium halos) / total sperm count × 100%. The average value of three male samples was taken, and the results are listed in Table 3.
[0158] 4.3 Sperm-Cervical Mucus Penetration Test
[0159] The procedure was performed according to the methods recommended in the 3rd edition of the WHO Manual of Laboratory Diagnostic Methods for Human Semen and Sperm-Cervical Mucus Interactions. Normal cervical mucus (scored based on volume, viscosity, fern-like crystals, filamentousness, and cellularity; a score of 12–15 and a pH of 7–8.5) was aspirated through a capillary tube to a depth of 7 cm. One end of the aspirated mucus was sealed with clay, and the open end was placed in a reservoir containing 100 μL of the aforementioned lubricating culture medium. The entire capillary tube was kept moist at a 45° angle and observed for 1 hour. The sperm count and the distance the foremost sperm traveled were assessed based on low-power observations at 1 cm, 4 cm, and 7 cm of the capillary tube. The score was the average of three male samples: 0 for negative, 1–8 for poor, 9–11 for fair, and 12 or above for good. The results are listed in Table 3.
[0160] Table 3
[0161]
[0162]
[0163] Table 3 shows that the sperm forward motility rate, DNA fragmentation index, and penetration test results of all examples and comparative examples are within the normal range, indicating that the lubricant provided by the embodiments of the present invention is sperm-friendly and can be applied to couples preparing for pregnancy. Comparative Examples 1 and 3, which did not contain basic peptides, showed poorer sperm quality compared to the examples and Comparative Example 2, indicating that the addition of basic peptides is beneficial for improving and maintaining sperm motility and DNA integrity. Comparison of Examples 1-4 shows that the addition of antioxidants is beneficial for improving and maintaining sperm motility and preventing oxidative damage; however, it has little effect on the DNA fragmentation index. Comparison of Examples 1, 6, and 7 shows that a higher isoelectric point of the basic peptide is more beneficial for improving sperm motility, but has little effect on the DNA fragmentation index. Comparison of Examples 1, 8, and 9 shows that the molecular weight of small molecule peptidoglycan affects sperm activity and the DNA fragmentation index; as the molecular weight decreases, activity decreases and the DNA fragmentation index increases, indicating that the smaller the molecular weight of peptidoglycan, the higher its cytotoxicity, which is consistent with the results of Test Example 3.
[0164] Test Example 5: Animal Experiment
[0165] Experimental animals: 70 female C57CL / 6J mice, 8 weeks old, weighing 20g-25g, were randomly divided into 7 groups of 10 mice each.
[0166] Mice were subcutaneously injected with 100 μL of estradiol valerate to induce estrus, once a week for a total of 2 weeks. After estrus, mice were administered the drug vaginally and infected. The sample of the lubricant to be tested was injected into the vagina of the mice using a syringe, with a dosage of 0.8 ± 0.05 mg each time. Two hours after administration, 10 μL of bacteria at a concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁶ was inoculated into the vagina. 7 CFU / mL of Gardnerella vaginalis and a bacterial concentration of 1×10 μL. 7 Staphylococcus aureus CFU / mL, once daily for 7 consecutive days; in the control group, an equal volume of normal saline was injected into the vagina during administration.
[0167] Experimental mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation, and vaginal tissue was collected from the dissection and preserved in 4% paraformaldehyde solution.
[0168] 5.1 Evaluation of vaginal cleanliness: Vaginal secretions from mice after 7 consecutive days of drug administration were smeared onto a glass slide containing 1-2 drops of physiological saline, examined under a microscope, and evaluated according to the vaginal cleanliness assessment criteria (National Clinical Laboratory Operating Procedures).
[0169] The grading (4th edition) is shown in Table 5.
[0170] 5.2 Degree of vaginal lesions and inflammation
[0171] Vaginal specimens were collected for pathological histological examination. The vaginal specimens were scored according to the four basic indicators of congestion, edema, bleeding and infiltration according to the standards in Table 4. The sum of the inflammation scores of each indicator was the total inflammation score. The score of the blank group was taken as 100% of the degree of inflammation. The degree of inflammation in the experimental group was calculated as the total inflammation score of the experimental group ÷ the total number of inflammation branches in the blank group × 100%. The results are listed in Table 5.
[0172] Table 4
[0173] symptom score No congestion, edema, or bleeding; vaginal mucosa is smooth. 0 The vaginal mucosa is still smooth with mild congestion. 1 The vaginal mucosa is relatively smooth, with moderate congestion and visible pinpoint bleeding. 2 The vaginal mucosa is uneven, severely congested, with numerous bleeding points visible, and mild tissue edema. 3
[0174] Table 5
[0175]
[0176] Table 5 shows that the lubricants in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 did not contain small molecule peptidoglycan, resulting in poor vaginal cleanliness and higher levels of inflammation in the mice. This indicates that the addition of small molecule peptidoglycan can effectively prevent bacterial infection and reduce the occurrence of inflammation. The small molecule peptidoglycan used in Example 10 was derived from Bifidobacterium, and its effect on preventing bacterial infection and inflammation was worse than that in Example 1. This is because the peptide chains in the peptidoglycan of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus differ, leading to differences in immunomodulatory effects, and Lactobacillus exhibited better activity.
[0177] In summary, this invention provides a sperm-friendly medical lubricant containing active ingredients such as small molecule peptidoglycan and basic polypeptides. The combination of these two active substances can maintain sperm motility while protecting the vagina and preventing infection, making it a lubricant that is friendly to both the vagina and sperm.
