Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of contact lens care technology, and in particular to a liposome-based contact lens lubricant and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rising global myopia rate and increasing demand for cosmetic lenses, the user base for contact lenses is constantly expanding. However, eye health problems caused by long-term contact lens wear are also becoming increasingly serious, including dry eye syndrome and oxidative stress damage. Contact lenses trap moisture in the tear film, disrupting the natural dynamics of tear fluid, leading to dry and burning eyes. Traditional eye drops only provide 2-4 hours of hydration, which is far from sufficient for 16 hours of wear. Furthermore, lenses absorb lipids from the tear film and are exposed to ultraviolet light, which can induce lipid peroxidation, leading to elevated malondialdehyde levels and reactive oxygen species attacking the corneal epithelium, causing punctate corneal erosions.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent application CN115461652A discloses a technique for embedding vitamin E into a silicone hydrogel lens matrix, achieving a sustained-release effect through physical encapsulation. However, the active ingredient in this technique cannot be released to the ocular surface, and vitamin E cannot be released from the contact lens, which may actually worsen dry eye symptoms. Another example is Chinese invention patent application CN118480411A, which discloses a technique for encapsulating water-soluble vitamin B12 with liposomes and combining it with hyaluronic acid for moisturizing. However, this technique cannot deliver fat-soluble active ingredients, being limited to encapsulating water-soluble vitamin B12, and fails to solve the problems of nano-sizing and stable dispersion of fat-soluble components such as vitamin E; furthermore, the release rate of vitamin B12 liposomes in the composite moisturizing layer is too fast, failing to provide a long-lasting moisturizing effect.

[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to provide a contact lens eye drop that has a long-lasting moisturizing effect and can achieve nano-sized and stable dispersion of fat-soluble ingredients. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a liposome-based contact lens lubricant and its preparation method, in order to solve the technical problems of excessively fast release rate, short wetting time, and inability to achieve nano-sized and stable dispersion of lipid-soluble components in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention provides a liposome-based contact lens lubricant, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: Hyaluronic acid 0.5-2 parts, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 0.005~0.1 parts, Divitamin liposomes 0.1-1 part, 0.01~0.5 parts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Osmotic pressure regulator 0.5~2 parts, pH adjuster 0.1~2 parts, 95-99 parts water.

[0007] Furthermore, the hyaluronic acid is a mixture of hyaluronic acid with three molecular weights: low molecular weight, medium molecular weight, and high molecular weight. The molecular weights of the low molecular weight, medium molecular weight, and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid are 50,000 to 200,000 Da, 200,000 to 1,000,000 Da, and 1,000,000 to 4,000,000 Da, respectively. The mass ratio of the low molecular weight, medium molecular weight, and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid is 0.1~0.3:0.2~0.4:0.4~0.6.

[0008] Furthermore, the dual vitamin liposomes are vitamin E and vitamin B12, and the mass ratio of vitamin E to vitamin B12 is 1:2~5.

[0009] Furthermore, the osmotic pressure regulator includes sodium chloride and / or potassium chloride.

[0010] Furthermore, the pH adjuster includes boric acid and / or disodium phosphate.

[0011] This invention also provides a method for preparing a liposome-based contact lens lubricant, comprising the following steps: 1) Dissolve phospholipids, cholesterol and vitamin E in chloroform, then remove chloroform by rotary evaporation under nitrogen protection to obtain an oil phase; dissolve vitamin B12 in water to obtain an aqueous phase; add the aqueous phase to the oil phase for homogenization to obtain a liposome suspension, and finally add aldehyde-modified chitosan to mix to obtain a dual vitamin liposome. 2) Dissolve high molecular weight hyaluronic acid in water, then cool it for the first time before adding medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid and mixing. Then cool it for the second time before adding low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and mixing to obtain a transparent colloid. 3) Add ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and bisvitamin liposomes to the transparent colloid and mix. Finally, add the osmotic pressure regulator and pH regulator.

[0012] Furthermore, in step 1), the ratio of phospholipids, cholesterol, vitamin E, and chloroform is 1g:0.2~0.3g:0.04~0.2g:3~5mL; The mass ratio of VB12 to water is 1:12~20; The mass ratio of VE to aldehyde-modified chitosan is 0.04~0.2:0.05~0.1.

[0013] Furthermore, in step 1), the dissolution temperature is 30~50℃; The VB12 dissolves in water at a temperature of 50~70℃; The pressure of the homogenizer is 700~900 bar; The mixing is carried out by stirring at a temperature of 30-50°C for 1-3 hours. The particle size of the dual-vitamin liposomes is 100~200nm.

[0014] Furthermore, in step 2), the dissolution temperature is 70~90℃, the first cooling temperature is 40~60℃, and the second cooling temperature is 20~40℃; The mixing time is 20-40 minutes.

[0015] Furthermore, in step 3), the mixing temperature is 15~35℃, the mixing is carried out by stirring, and the stirring speed is 80~120rpm.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention reduces water molecule permeation by utilizing the hydrophobic barrier of vitamin E, thereby indirectly reducing the diffusion rate of vitamin B12; the internal aqueous phase of vitamin B12 maintains the osmotic pressure stability of liposomes, preventing sudden release of vitamin E, and achieving a sustained-release effect through the synergistic effect of vitamin E and vitamin B12. This invention constructs a multi-level HA / HPMC network to achieve a triple moisturizing mechanism of "rapid penetration - gap filling - long-lasting water retention". By using liposome sustained-release technology to encapsulate lipid-soluble vitamin E and water-soluble vitamin B12, combined with the synergistic moisturizing network of high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate (HA) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), it solves the problems of nano-sized and stable dispersion of lipid-soluble components such as vitamin E, as well as the technical problem of excessively rapid release rate of vitamin B12 liposomes in the composite moisturizing layer, thus achieving dual protection against dry eyes and oxidative stress.
