Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of eye wash formulation technology, and more specifically to an eye wash containing PDRN and EGT and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, commercially available eye wash products can be mainly categorized into cleansing, moisturizing, and soothing types based on their functions. Cleansing products often rely on surfactants or saline solution to flush out foreign objects, but lack active repair capabilities for the ocular surface. Moisturizing products typically use sodium hyaluronate and polyvinyl alcohol as main ingredients, which can relieve dryness, but have limited effects in anti-oxidation and promoting cell regeneration. Soothing products often add cooling agents such as borneol and menthol, or anti-allergenic ingredients such as dipotassium glycyrrhizate; their effects are mostly temporary, and some ingredients may irritate sensitive ocular surfaces. Furthermore, for ease of preservation, most products require the addition of preservatives (such as benzalkonium chloride), which may disrupt tear film stability and damage corneal epithelial cells with long-term use. Therefore, developing a multifunctional, gentle eye wash that combines long-lasting moisturizing, active repair, and highly effective antioxidant properties without preservatives has significant market value and clinical significance.
[0003] PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleic acid) is a bioactive substance known to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and stimulate angiogenesis, and it has been used in wound healing. Ergothioneine (EGT) is a naturally occurring, potent antioxidant amino acid that effectively scavenge free radicals and protects cells from oxidative damage; it is commonly used in skincare products for anti-aging. However, there are currently no reports on combining PDRN and EGT in a specific ratio, along with other excipients (such as sodium hyaluronate and taurine), in eye wash solutions. Combining the repair and antioxidant properties of both promises to provide a more comprehensive and safe integrated care solution for the complex environment of the eye. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an eye wash containing PDRN and EGT and a method for preparing the same.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution, which includes an effective amount of PDRN and ergothioneine (EGT) as active ingredients.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] Example 1: Preparation of PDRN&EGT Eye Wash (Preferred Formula) formula: Weigh out each ingredient according to the following formula (for preparing 250ml): PDRN: 0.0125 g (0.005%) Ergothioneine (EGT): 0.15 g (0.06%) Sodium hyaluronate (molecular weight approximately 1.0 × 10⁻⁶) 6 Da): 0.5 g (0.2%) Sodium chloride: 1.25 g (0.5%) Taurine: 0.25 g (0.1%) Hydrochloric acid (1 mol / L): Appropriate amount, used to adjust pH. Sodium hydroxide (1 mol / L): Appropriate amount, used to adjust pH. Water for injection: Add to 250 ml Preparation method: a. Dissolving sodium hyaluronate: In a sterile mixing vessel, first add about 150 ml of water for injection, and slowly add the weighed sodium hyaluronate while stirring at a low speed (about 200 rpm). Continue stirring until it is completely dissolved to form a uniform and transparent gel-like solution.
[0018] b. Add other components: While stirring, add the weighed sodium chloride, taurine, ergothioneine (EGT) and PDRN to the above solution in sequence, ensuring that each component is completely dissolved before adding the next.
[0019] c. Volume adjustment and pH adjustment: Make up the volume of the solution to 250 ml with water for injection and stir well. Monitor the pH value of the solution using a calibrated pH meter, and adjust the final pH value precisely to 7.0 ± 0.2 by adding 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid or 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution.
[0020] d. Filtration and Filling: The prepared solution is aseptically filtered through a 0.22 μm microporous membrane. Under aseptic conditions, the filtrate is filled into pre-sterilized 5 ml disposable blow-molded PE eye drop bottles and sealed to obtain the PDRN&EGT eye wash solution.
[0021] Product Features: The prepared eye wash solution is a colorless to slightly yellow clear solution. Its osmotic pressure was tested to be 290 ± 10 mOsm / kg, which is isotonic with human tears. Sterility and bacterial endotoxin tests both met the requirements for eye drops in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China.
[0022] Example 2: Preparation of eye wash solutions with different content ratios This embodiment aims to illustrate other feasible formulations within the content range described in claim 3. The preparation method is the same as in Example 1, only the amount of active ingredient (by weight percentage) is changed, as shown in the table below: The products prepared in Examples 2-1 to 2-3 above all have good clarity and stability, and their pH and osmotic pressure are suitable for ocular use, proving that the formulations of the present invention are feasible within the claimed scope.
[0023] Example 3: Effect Verification Experiment To verify the beneficial effects of the eye wash of the present invention, the following preliminary in vitro and animal experiments were conducted: In vitro antioxidant activity assay (DPPH free radical scavenging assay): Using the product of Example 1 as the test group and a blank buffer solution without PDRN and EGT as the control group, the results showed that the test group had a DPPH free radical scavenging rate of over 85%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (<5%), indicating that the eye wash solution of the present invention has extremely strong in vitro antioxidant capacity.
[0024] Corneal epithelial cell (HCEC) migration assay (scratch assay): HCEC cells treated with artificial tears were used as the model group, while those treated with the product of Example 1 were used as the experimental group. Scratch healing was observed after 24 hours of culture. The cell migration rate in the experimental group was approximately 60% higher than that in the model group, indicating that the eye wash solution of this invention can significantly promote the repair and migration of corneal epithelial cells.
[0025] Rabbit eye irritation test: According to the acute eye irritation / corrosiveness test method in the "Cosmetic Safety Technical Specifications" (2015 edition), the eye wash solution prepared in Example 1 was instilled into both eyes of New Zealand white rabbits. During the observation period (1, 24, 48, and 72 hours), no abnormal irritation reactions were observed in the conjunctiva, iris, or cornea of all animals, and the Draize score was 0, indicating that the eye wash solution is non-irritating to the eyes and has high safety.
[0026] Comparative Example 1: Eye Wash with Single Active Ingredient To illustrate the synergistic effect of the combination of PDRN and EGT, eye wash solutions containing only 0.005% PDRN (without EGT) and only 0.06% EGT (without PDRN) were prepared, with other components being the same as in Example 1.
[0027] In the same DPPH radical scavenging experiment, the scavenging rate of the PDRN-only group was approximately 15%, and that of the EGT-only group was approximately 65%. The sum of the scavenging rates of the two (80%) was lower than that of the composition of Example 1 (>85%), indicating that the combination was not a simple addition, but may have a synergistic enhancement effect.
[0028] In the cell scratch assay, the cell migration promotion rates of the PDRN-only group and the EGT-only group were approximately 35% and 25%, respectively, both lower than that of the composition in Example 1 (approximately 60%), further verifying the synergistic advantage of the composition in promoting repair.
[0029] Example 4: Examples of the application of the present invention The eye wash solution prepared in Example 1 can be used for: Daily eye cleansing and moisturizing: Suitable for use after prolonged use of electronic products, in dry air-conditioned environments, or after wearing contact lenses, to relieve dryness and fatigue of the eyes.
[0030] Assisted corneal repair: Suitable for mild corneal epithelial punctate defects, post-corneal surgery, or mild contact lens-related damage.
[0031] Antioxidant eye care: Suitable for people who need to resist oxidative stress in the eyes caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays and blue light.
