Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a nano-drug-loaded nasal spray composition for treating sinusitis and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Sinusitis, a common upper respiratory tract disease, is characterized by inflammation of the sinus mucosa, abnormal mucus secretion, bacterial or fungal infection, and biofilm formation. Clinical treatment currently faces numerous challenges. Traditional antibiotic nasal drops, such as mupirocin and gentamicin, are easily cleared by nasal cilia, leading to insufficient local drug concentrations. Long-term use can also induce the growth of drug-resistant bacteria such as MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, especially after biofilm formation, which significantly reduces drug permeability. While glucocorticoids like budesonide are effective in reducing inflammation, long-term use may cause side effects such as mucosal atrophy and local immunosuppression. Although active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine, such as baicalin and magnolia oil, possess multi-target anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, their clinical application is limited by poor water solubility, low mucosal permeability, and insufficient stability. Traditional decoctions or alcohol extracts also struggle to achieve precise delivery, resulting in unstable drug efficacy. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nano-drug-loaded nasal spray composition for treating sinusitis and its preparation method. This invention constructs a novel sinusitis treatment system that can penetrate the mucus barrier, deliver drugs in a targeted manner, and synergistically exert anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. It not only solves the problem of low efficiency in traditional drug delivery, but also achieves multi-component synergistic treatment through the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and nanotechnology, providing a brand-new solution for the treatment of sinusitis, especially refractory sinusitis.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of the present invention is: A nano-drug-loaded nasal spray composition for treating sinusitis, comprising, by weight percentage, the following raw materials: 0.002 wt %~0.008 wt % nano silver, 0.1 wt % polyvinylpyrrolidone, 0.3 wt %~1.5 wt % Baicalin, 0.1 wt %~0.4 wt % Magnolia biondii volatile oil, 0.5 wt %~3 wt % chitosan, 0.5 wt %~2 wt % PLGA (polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer), 0.05 wt %~0.3 wt % Sodium Hyaluronate, 0.15 wt %~0.25 wt % citrate buffer and the remainder sterile saline.
[0005] The citrate buffer solution comprises citric acid and sodium citrate in a mass ratio of 2:1.
[0006] A method for preparing a nano-drug-loaded nasal spray composition for treating sinusitis includes the following steps: Step 1: Preparation of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) modified silver nanoparticle suspension: First, silver nitrate solution and PVP are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:5 to 1:10. Ascorbic acid is added, and the mixture is stirred in a water bath at 55-65℃ for 25-30 minutes. After centrifugation, the PVP-modified silver nanoparticles are collected. Then, the PVP-modified silver nanoparticles are placed in a 0.1... wt The sterile saline solution was redispersed to the required concentration to obtain a PVP-modified silver nanoparticle suspension, wherein the average particle size of the silver nanoparticles was controlled at 20-40 nm and D90 < 50 nm. Step 2: Preparation of baicalin nanoparticles: Then, PLGA:baicalin:chitosan were dissolved in an appropriate amount of dichloromethane as the oil phase at a mass ratio of 4~6:2~4:1~3. The mixture was emulsified at 10000~15000 rpm or under the action of ultrasound probe. The emulsion was then poured into an aqueous solution containing 0.5%~1.0% (w / v) PVA. The dichloromethane was evaporated at 40~45℃ with stirring for 1.5~2 hours. The resulting emulsion was centrifuged, the precipitate was collected and washed 1~2 times with deionized water to obtain baicalin nanoparticles, which were then dispersed in a small amount of sterile water for later use. Step 3: Preparation of Magnolia biondii volatile oil nanoparticles: Then, magnolia volatile oil and PLGA were dissolved in an appropriate amount of ethyl acetate at a mass ratio of 1:3~5 as the oil phase. The oil phase was then slowly injected into an aqueous solution containing 1%~2% (w / v) Tween-80. The mixture was emulsified for 1~3 minutes at a speed of 10000~15000 rpm or under the action of ultrasound probe. Then, the mixture was stirred at 40~50℃ for 2~4 hours to allow the ethyl acetate to evaporate. The resulting emulsion was centrifuged, the precipitate was collected and washed 1~2 times with deionized water, and then freeze-dried to obtain magnolia volatile oil nanoparticles with a particle size of 80~120 nm. These nanoparticles were then dispersed in a small amount of sterile water for later use. Step 4, Mixing and Formulation: Finally, the PVP-modified silver nanoparticle suspension obtained in step 1, the baicalin nanoparticle dispersion obtained in step 2, and the magnolia volatile oil nanoparticle dispersion obtained in step 3 were mixed after their volumes were precisely calculated according to their concentrations and target final contents. Sterile physiological saline containing sodium hyaluronate and citrate buffer were added, and the pH of the system was adjusted to 4.5-5.5 with dilute hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide solution. Sterile physiological saline was then added to bring the total volume to 100%. The mixture was filtered through a 0.22 μm sterile filter membrane for sterilization, then subjected to gamma irradiation sterilization, and dispensed into a spray or nasal drops, i.e., this nano-drug-loaded nasal spray composition, comprising the following raw materials by weight percentage: 0.002 wt %~0.008 wt % nano silver, 0.1 wt % polyvinylpyrrolidone, 0.3 wt %~1.5 wt % Baicalin, 0.1 wt %~0.4 wt % Magnolia biondii volatile oil, 0.5 wt %~3 wt % chitosan, 0.5 wt %~2 wt % PLGA, 0.05 wt %~0.3 wt % Sodium Hyaluronate, 0.15 wt %~0.25 wt % citrate buffer and the remainder sterile saline.
[0007] In step 1, the molecular weight of the PVP is 40 kDa.
[0008] In step 1, the molar ratio of ascorbic acid to silver nitrate in the silver nitrate solution is approximately 2:1.
[0009] In step 1, the concentration of nano-silver in the nano-silver suspension is 5 to 20 times that of nano-silver in the final nano-drug-loaded nasal spray composition.
[0010] In step 1, the centrifugation speed is 10,000 to 12,000 rpm, and the centrifugation time is 15 to 25 minutes.
[0011] In step 2, the ultrasonic power of the probe is 100~200 W.
[0012] In step 2, the centrifugation speed is 10,000 to 15,000 rpm, and the centrifugation time is 10 to 20 minutes.
[0013] In step 2, the volume of dichloromethane added is 10 to 20 times the sum of the mass of PLGA, baicalin, and chitosan, and the volume of the PVA aqueous solution added is 5 to 10 times the volume of the oil phase.
[0014] In step 3, the volume of ethyl acetate added is 10 to 20 times the total mass of Magnolia biondii volatile oil and PLGA, and the volume of the Tween-80 aqueous solution added is 5 to 20 times the volume of the oil phase.
[0015] In step 3, the ultrasonic power of the probe is 200~300 W.
[0016] In step 3, the centrifugation speed is 10,000 to 15,000 rpm, and the centrifugation time is 10 to 20 minutes.
[0017] In step 4, the sodium hyaluronate is pre-dissolved in a small amount of sterile saline, with a concentration not exceeding 5% (w / v); the citrate buffer is prepared by dissolving citric acid and sodium citrate in sterile water at a mass ratio of 2:1.
[0018] In step 4, the irradiation dose for γ-irradiation sterilization is 25 kGy.
[0019] With the above technical solution, the present invention provides a nano-drug-loaded nasal spray composition for treating sinusitis, wherein nano-silver is the core antibacterial component, with an average particle size controlled within the range of 20-40 nm and D90 < 50 nm. Stable dispersion is ensured by surface modification with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Nano-silver achieves broad-spectrum antibacterial effect by releasing silver ions, and has a significant inhibitory effect on a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, including drug-resistant bacteria. At the same time, it can destroy the biofilm structure and enhance drug permeability. Baicalin (which can be obtained from Scutellaria baicalensis using commercially available raw materials that meet pharmaceutical standards, or extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis using conventional macroporous resin purification technology) has a significant anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the downregulation of inflammatory factors (such as TNF-α and IL-6) through the NF-κB pathway. It can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors and reduce sinus mucosal edema. Magnolia biondii volatile oil (which can be obtained from Magnolia biondii using commercially available raw materials that meet pharmaceutical standards, or extracted from Magnolia biondii using conventional steam distillation or supercritical CO2 extraction technology) can promote ciliary movement and improve nasal ventilation. Chitosan, as the main carrier material, has good biocompatibility and mucosal affinity, which can prolong the residence time of drugs in the nasal cavity. PLGA (polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer), as a synthetic polymer material, can realize the sustained release function of drugs and maintain a stable therapeutic concentration. Sodium hyaluronate, as a moisturizer, can maintain the moisture of the nasal mucosa and reduce dryness and discomfort. Citrate buffer is used to maintain the system pH in the range of 4.5 to 5.5 to ensure the stability of each component.
[0020] Therefore, this invention provides a nano-drug-loaded nasal spray composition for treating sinusitis. Utilizing the synergistic effect of nano-silver and active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine (baicalin and magnolia oil), it exhibits significant efficacy in treating sinusitis. This drug delivery system achieves targeted delivery and sustained release of nano-silver and traditional Chinese medicine ingredients through polymer nanoparticles (chitosan / PLGA) carriers, enabling antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory functions to work synergistically. This "antibacterial-anti-inflammatory-repair" three-in-one treatment model leverages the powerful antibacterial advantages of nano-silver while enhancing the overall therapeutic effect through traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, providing a novel solution for the treatment of sinusitis, especially refractory sinusitis.
