Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a method for preparing a multifunctional skin-soothing gel dressing. Background Technology
[0002] Current treatments for skin inflammation face three major technical bottlenecks: poor drug permeability, short-lived efficacy, and significant side effects. Traditional skin medications, such as corticosteroids, can relieve symptoms in a short time, but long-term use can easily lead to skin atrophy and drug resistance. On the other hand, topical medications containing natural active ingredients, such as aloe vera and allantoin, are difficult to achieve ideal efficacy due to their large molecular weight, poor stability, and low transdermal absorption rate. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a multifunctional skin-soothing gel dressing. While retaining the traditional formula composition, it reconstructs the transdermal efficiency, efficacy durability, and safety through nanoscale interactions between components, making it suitable for long-term treatment and management of chronic skin inflammations such as atopic dermatitis and eczema.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of the present invention is: A method for preparing a multifunctional skin-soothing gel dressing includes the following steps: Step 1: Preparation of silver nanoparticle-protease complex: First, silver nitrate solution and protease were pre-complexed at a mass ratio of 1:1.2 at 3~5℃ for 30 minutes. Ascorbic acid was added dropwise and the reaction was stirred at 23~27℃ for 2 hours. After purification by centrifugation in a 100 kDa ultrafiltration tube, nano-silver-protease complexes with a particle size of 20~50 nm (PDI<0.15) were obtained. Step 2, Preparation of liposomes: Then, DPPC, cholesterol, and active ingredients were dissolved in chloroform at a ratio of DPPC:cholesterol:active ingredient = 7:3:2.5~5. After rotary evaporation to form a film, the film was hydrated with preheated phosphate buffer at pH 6.8, and then subjected to ultrasonication for 5 minutes with a 200W probe and high-pressure homogenization at 800 bar for 3 cycles to obtain liposomes with a particle size of 105~135 nm and an encapsulation efficiency >85%. The active ingredients include aloe polysaccharide and cucumber sterol in a mass ratio of 3:1; Step 3: Preparation of chitosan nanoparticles: Then, chitosan quaternary ammonium salt with a degree of deacetylation of 90% was dissolved in 1% acetic acid solution to obtain chitosan solution. Then, the chitosan solution was crosslinked with 0.1%~0.3% (w / v) sodium tripolyphosphate aqueous solution at a volume ratio of 3:1 under stirring for 20~30 minutes. Allantoin and acidic protease were loaded by physical adsorption at a mass ratio of 1:1. After purification by centrifugation in a 50 kDa ultrafiltration tube, chitosan nanoparticles were obtained, forming a positively charged targeting system. Step 4: Preparation of PLGA microspheres: PLGA was then dissolved in dichloromethane as the oil phase; the manganese oxide-tannic acid complex was dispersed in an aqueous solution containing 1% (w / v) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the aqueous phase; the oil phase and the aqueous phase were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:3, homogenized at high speed to form a primary emulsion, poured into a 0.5% (w / v) PVA aqueous solution, stirred and solidified for 4 h, centrifuged and washed multiple times, and freeze-dried to obtain PLGA microspheres with a particle size of 130~170 nm; Step 5: Prepare the gel dressing: Finally, under nitrogen protection, press 100 wt % of the formula ratio, use 15 wt %~20 wt Dissolve % poloxamer 407 in pure water at 3-5°C for 2 hours, then add 0.002% poloxamer solution sequentially at 14-16°C. wt % ~0.005 wt % nano silver-protease complex, added at 11~13℃ wt %~3 wt % liposomes, add 0.5% at 7~9℃ wt %~2 wt % chitosan nanoparticles, 0.2 wt %~0.4 wt % sodium hyaluronate and 0.005 wt % ~ 0.01 wt % PLGA microspheres, stirred for 20-30 minutes, and sterilized by irradiation to obtain a gel dressing; the amount of pure water used is the balance.
[0005] In step 1, the molar ratio of silver nitrate to ascorbic acid in the silver nitrate solution is 1:1.2, and the stirring speed is 500~800 rpm.
[0006] In step 2, the mass of chloroform used is 10 to 20 times the total mass of DPPC, cholesterol, and active ingredients, the temperature of rotary evaporation is 38 to 42°C, and the vacuum degree of rotary evaporation is -0.09 MPa.
[0007] In step 3, the concentration of the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt is 0.5% (w / v), the volume ratio of the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt to the acetic acid solution is 1:10, the mass ratio of the allantoin to the chitosan solution is 1:5, and the pH of the acidic protease is 5.0.
[0008] In step 3, the stirring speed is 300~500 rpm.
[0009] In step 4, the ratio of lactic acid to glycolic acid in the PLGA is 75:25, the molecular weight of the PLGA is 30 kDa, the manganese oxide-tannic acid complex is prepared by manganese oxide and tannic acid in a mass ratio of 1:1, and the drug loading of the PLGA microspheres on the manganese oxide-tannic acid complex is ≥15%.
[0010] In step 4, the ratio of PLGA to dichloromethane is 1:20 (w / v), and the ratio of manganese oxide-tannic acid complex to 1% PVA aqueous solution is 1:50.
[0011] In step 4, the high-speed homogenization speed is 8000~10000 rpm, the high-speed homogenization time is 2 min, the stirring speed is 500 rpm, the centrifugal washing speed is 8000~10000 rpm, and the centrifugal washing time is 10 min.
[0012] In step 5, the stirring speed is 100~200 rpm.
[0013] Following the above technical solution, the present invention provides a method for preparing a multifunctional skin-soothing gel dressing. Firstly, a core-shell structured nano-silver-protease complex is constructed at the molecular level. Specifically, silver ions are reduced in situ in the hydrophobic domain of the protease molecule (molecular weight 28 kDa) using ascorbic acid reduction. Stable Ag-S and Ag-N coordination bonds are formed through the coordination of thiol (-SH) and amino (-NH2) groups. Each protease molecule can load 15-20 silver clusters with a particle size of 3-5 nm, ultimately forming a particle size distribution of 20-50 nm. A homogeneous complex of nanosilver (PDI < 0.15) with a defined protein coating layer (approximately 2-3 nm thick) was confirmed by cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM). This unique structural design extended the in vitro release half-life of nanosilver from 8 hours in conventional formulations to 36 hours (PBS buffer, 37°C). Furthermore, through protein barrier action, it increased the survival rate of HaCaT cells from 52% to 86% with free nanosilver (CCK-8 assay, 24 h). In vitro release experiments showed that the nanosilver-protease complex achieved a cumulative release rate of 82% within 72 hours (PBS buffer, 37°C), with a release half-life of 36 hours. It also retained the bioactivity of the protease in degrading inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor.
[0014] Secondly, a four-level delivery system was established in the formulation: 1. Cationic liposomes (DPPC:cholesterol=7:3) encapsulating aloe polysaccharides (molecular weight 40~50 kDa) and cucumber sterol; 2. Chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (molecular weight 50 kDa, degree of deacetylation 90%) nanoparticles loaded with allantoin and acidic protease (optimal pH=5.0); 3. PLGA microspheres (lactic acid:glycolic acid=75:25) for sustained release of manganese oxide-tannic acid complex; 4. Temperature-sensitive poloxamer 407 gel matrix. This multi-level structure ensures that each component is released sequentially during transdermal delivery. Franz diffusion cell experiments confirmed that its cumulative penetration amount reached 3.2 times (24 h) of traditional creams (such as hydrocortisone cream). Accelerated testing over 6 months verified that the system exhibited a particle size change of <8%, an active ingredient retention rate of >95%, and clinical data showed that it shortened the time to effectiveness to 2~3 days and reduced the adverse reaction rate to 4.2%, significantly superior to traditional therapies.
[0015] This invention innovatively develops a multifunctional skin-soothing gel dressing based on nano-silver-protease complex technology. By forming a stable complex between nano-silver and protease through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, it not only significantly prolongs the action time of nano-silver (in vitro sustained release for over 72 hours), but also utilizes the encapsulation effect of protease molecules to reduce its cytotoxicity by 68%, while retaining the protease's ability to degrade inflammatory mediators (such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor). Furthermore, this complex, together with other nano-sized components in the formulation (such as liposome-loaded aloe polysaccharides and cucumber extract, and chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating allantoin), constructs a four-dimensional synergistic network of "moisturizing-anti-inflammatory-antibacterial-repair": the amphiphilic structure of liposomes simultaneously delivers hydrophilic / hydrophobic components to enhance transdermal absorption; the positive charge of chitosan nanoparticles targets the inflamed site to increase local concentration; the nano-silver-protease complex and chlorphenesin form a dual mechanism of "immediate sterilization-long-lasting antibacterial"; and the manganese oxide-tannic acid nanocomplex (ORAC≥800 μmol TE / g) synergistically regulates the redox microenvironment with the buffer system, enabling the gel to maintain pH While maintaining a concentration of 5.5 to 6.5, it enhances overall antioxidant capacity by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activating the Nrf2 pathway. Ultimately, while fully preserving traditional ingredients, it achieves a synergistic improvement in transdermal efficiency, efficacy durability, and safety through nanoscale structural reorganization, providing a novel solution for the treatment of chronic skin inflammations such as atopic dermatitis and eczema.
