Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and particularly relates to a prilocaine cream and a preparation process thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lidocaine is an amide local anesthetic, and has obvious excitatory and inhibitory biphasic effects on central nervous system after blood absorption or intravenous administration. It is widely used in infiltration anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, surface anesthesia and nerve conduction block.

[0003] Prilocaine is also an amide local anesthetic, and has local anesthetic effect by blocking the ion flow required for the generation and conduction of nerve impulses to stabilize the nerve cell membrane. The anesthetic strength and speed are similar to those of lidocaine, but the duration is longer, the vasodilating effect is weaker, and the toxicity is lower than that of lidocaine. Because of its fast metabolism, it also has less accumulation.

[0004] The eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine in a 1:1 ratio is an oil-in-water cream, which is called prilocaine cream, and is a skin surface anesthetic. It is commonly used for analgesia in intravenous puncture, intravenous cannulation and various surgical operation. It can be applied to intact skin under closed dressing, and the amide local anesthetic lidocaine and prilocaine are released from the cream into the epidermis and dermis, and then absorbed through the skin into the nerve tissue, and accumulated near the dermal pain receptors and nerve endings. The sodium influx of nerve fiber cell membrane is blocked, the membrane depolarization and action potential generation are inhibited, and the conduction impulse is blocked, thereby producing local anesthetic effect.

[0005] However, because the prilocaine cream needs to pass through the barrier function of the stratum corneum, it has the defects of slow transdermal absorption, long onset time, and short action time, which cannot meet the needs of clinical application. Chinese patent document CN101209250A discloses a new prescription using azone as a penetration enhancer to improve the transdermal rate. However, azone can cause loose skin structure and stimulate sensitive damaged skin. At present, there are also reports on the use of microemulsion technology to improve the transdermal absorption of prilocaine. Microemulsion is a homogeneous, transparent and thermodynamically stable dispersion system composed of oil phase, water phase, surfactant and co-surfactant mixed uniformly in appropriate proportions. It can significantly improve the solubility and local concentration of poorly soluble drugs, promote the transdermal penetration and absorption of drugs, and improve the bioavailability of drugs. However, the preparation of microemulsion requires complex excipients, and the safety and cost limit its practical application. In addition, microemulsion also has the problem of stability, and is prone to creaming, flocculation and other demulsification. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the slow onset time of the existing art propylhexedrine cream, the present application provides a new preparation prescription, which can realize high transdermal amount of propylhexedrine cream, small skin irritation, thereby achieving the technical effects of faster onset and safety.

[0016] Another object of the present application is to provide a preparation process of the above cream, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0017] Step 1: soak carbomer in water;

[0018] Step 2: lidocaine and prilocaine are stirred into transparent liquid at room temperature for standby;

[0023] Step 7: add the remaining purified water to the stirring container to the formula amount and stir evenly into cream.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the cream of the present application is absorbed through the skin faster, more quickly, shortens the anesthesia time, and reduces the waiting time of the patient. Compared with the formulation added with atransdermal enhancer, the irritation of damaged skin is greatly reduced, the sensitivity of sensitive skin to the product can be reduced, and the irritation of the skin after damage to the local anesthetic drug that has been applied can be reduced, with better compliance for subsequent patients after puncture and local anesthesia for minor surgery.

[0097] Example 7

[0098] Skin irritation test

[0099] Test protocol:

[0100] Rabbits were randomly divided into a normal skin group and a damaged skin group, with 4 rabbits in each group. They were fed normally for 3 days in the experimental environment.

[0101] Preparation of normal skin: 24 hours before administration, use a razor to shave the hair on both sides of the spine on the back of the rabbit, with a hair removal area of ​​approximately 2×2cm on each side. 2 Check the hair removal area for any damage; if there is no damage, it is considered normal skin.

[0102] Preparation of broken skin: Shave the hair on both sides of the spine on the back of the rabbit according to the above procedure. After disinfecting the skin surface with 75% alcohol, use a sterile needle to draw a "well" pattern on the hairless skin surface, just enough to break the epidermis.

[0103] Before administration, the test skin was cleaned with warm water. 0.6g of the cream from Examples 1-5 was applied evenly to both the normal skin group and the damaged skin group.

[0104] After administration, each rabbit's administration site was covered with sterile medical gauze and secured with medical tape to prevent leakage. Four hours after topical application of the test substance to the skin, the medical gauze was removed, and the skin was gently rinsed and wiped with warm water to remove any residual cream. At 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 ​​hours, and 72 hours after rinsing, the skin at the test site was visually observed for erythema, edema, etc. According to Table 2, the skin erythema and edema reaction scores for each group of test animals at each time point were recorded. The average score of the skin irritation reaction was calculated using the following formula, and the skin irritation intensity level was determined according to Table 3.

[0109]

[0110] Test Results

[0111] The results of the test are shown in Table 4 and Table 5. The results of the test showed that the erythema and edema scores of the normal skin were 0 at 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after the application of the cream samples of Examples 2-5 and the removal of the residual test substances, indicating that the cream samples of Examples 2-5 had no irritation to the normal skin.

[0112] The skin irritation scores of the damaged skin treated with the cream of Example 2 at 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h were 1.25, 1, 0.75 and 0.25, respectively, and the skin irritation intensity grades were mild, mild, mild and none, respectively. The skin irritation intensity grades of the cream samples of Examples 3-5 at 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h were mild, mild, none and none, respectively. The above results showed that the skin irritation of Example 2 was stronger than that of Examples 3-5.
