Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of suppository technology, specifically to a medical biological dressing suppository matrix and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Suppositories are preparations of a specific shape made from drugs and a suitable base, intended for intracavitary administration. Suppositories are solid at room temperature, but after insertion into a cavity, they rapidly soften, melt, or dissolve in secretions at body temperature, gradually releasing the drug to produce local or systemic effects. Suppositories have the following characteristics: ① The drug is not or minimally affected by the pH or enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract; ② They avoid irritation to the gastric mucosa; ③ They avoid the first-pass effect of the liver; ④ They are suitable for patients who cannot or do not wish to take oral medications; ⑤ They can provide local effects such as lubrication, antibacterial, insecticidal, astringent, analgesic, and antipruritic effects within the cavity; ⑥ They are suitable for drugs that are not suitable for oral administration.
[0003] Suppositories bases include oily bases and water-soluble (hydrophilic) bases. Oily bases are characterized by good lubricity and plasticity, and can rapidly melt and release drugs at body temperature; typical examples are cocoa butter and fatty acid glycerides. Water-soluble (hydrophilic) bases enable suppositories to dissolve and release drugs rapidly in body cavities; typical examples are gelatin, glycerin, and polyethylene glycol. The suppository base is the carrier for drug release, and its properties directly determine the rate and manner of drug release from the base, thus affecting the absorption efficiency of the drug on the mucous membrane of body cavities. The selection of suppository bases requires comprehensive consideration of drug characteristics, treatment needs, and individual patient differences. By rationally designing the base, the drug release rate can be controlled, thereby improving absorption efficiency and therapeutic efficacy. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a medical biological dressing plug matrix. First, a polyethylene glycol derivative and a chitosan quaternary ammonium salt are cross-linked to prepare a polyethylene glycol derivative / chitosan quaternary ammonium salt complex. Then, gelatin, glycerin and the polyethylene glycol derivative / chitosan quaternary ammonium salt complex are mixed by heating to prepare a medical biological dressing plug matrix.
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution: The first objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a matrix for a medical biological dressing plug, comprising the following steps: S1. Crosslink polyethylene glycol derivative with chitosan quaternary ammonium salt to obtain polyethylene glycol derivative / chitosan quaternary ammonium salt complex. S2. Gelatin, glycerin and polyethylene glycol derivative / chitosan quaternary ammonium salt complex are heated and mixed to obtain a medical biological dressing plug matrix.
[0006] Furthermore, the polyethylene glycol derivative is methoxy polyethylene glycol-glycidyl ether. The methoxy polyethylene glycol-glycidyl ether molecule contains epoxy groups, which can chemically crosslink with the hydroxyl groups contained in the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt. Simultaneously, the methoxy polyethylene glycol-glycidyl ether and the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt undergo physical crosslinking to form a unique three-dimensional network structure.
[0007] Furthermore, the molecular weight of the methoxy polyethylene glycol-glycidyl ether is 5000~10000.
[0008] Furthermore, the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt has a molecular weight of 100,000 to 300,000 and a degree of substitution ≥90%. The chitosan quaternary ammonium salt can impart certain antibacterial properties to the matrix, while its chitosan molecular structure undergoes a cross-linking reaction with polyethylene glycol derivatives.
[0009] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the polyethylene glycol derivative to the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt is (20~30): (10~20).
[0010] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the gelatin, glycerin and polyethylene glycol derivative / chitosan quaternary ammonium salt complex is 10: (30~40): (10~20).
[0011] Furthermore, the crosslinking reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst, which includes, but is not limited to, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and p-toluenesulfonic acid. Even further, the amount of catalyst used is 3-5% of the total mass of the polyethylene glycol derivative and chitosan quaternary ammonium salt. During post-treatment, sodium ions, potassium ions, and p-toluenesulfonate ions introduced into the matrix by the catalyst can be removed by washing with water.
[0012] Furthermore, the cross-linking reaction is carried out at a temperature of 50-60°C for a time of 5-12 hours.
[0013] Furthermore, the heating and mixing temperature is 50~60℃, and the time is 0.5~1 h.
[0014] A second objective of this invention is to provide a medical biological dressing plug matrix prepared by the aforementioned preparation method.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention uses gelatin, glycerin, polyethylene glycol derivatives, and chitosan quaternary ammonium salt as raw materials to prepare a medical biological dressing suppository matrix. This suppository matrix has good biocompatibility and will not cause irritation or allergic reactions to the medication cavity. Furthermore, after the suppository matrix dissolves in the cavity, it forms a thin film with good adhesion on the cavity mucosa, allowing the released drug to fully and for a long time contact the lesion, improving the efficacy and bioavailability of the drug. It is suitable for preparing suppositories for the treatment of gynecological diseases, anorectal diseases, and prostate diseases. Attached Figure Description
