[0002] Wounds caused by high and low temperatures, mechanical forces, and diseases such as diabetes are prone to infection, leading to wound suppuration and ulceration, oxidative stress, vascular damage, and chronic inflammation, which makes it difficult to heal on their own. At present, gauze is often used in clinical dressing changes. The tissue at the wound ulcer is easily adhered to the gauze, which is easy to cause secondary damage during dressing changes. In addition, materials such as gauze and sponges cannot fit perfectly with wounds of various shapes, and there are often cases of tissue fluid leakage and repeated bacterial infection. The pain, fever, inflammatory response caused by wound infection and ulceration, and the discomfort caused by daily dressing changes have caused great pain to such patients. Therefore, a new type of adhesive antibacterial gel has been developed, which can not only sterilize for a long time and efficiently, but also effectively adhere to the wound surface to seal the wound, keep the wound surface breathable and moist, remove excessive reactive oxygen, regulate oxidative balance and immunity, promote angiogenesis, and promote wound healing, which is of great significance for the treatment of infected wounds.

[0036] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail. This detailed description should not be considered as limiting the present invention, but should be understood as a more detailed description of certain aspects, features, and embodiments of the present invention.

[0037] It should be understood that the terms described in the present invention are only for describing special embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, for the numerical range in the present invention, it should be understood that each intermediate value between the upper and lower limits of the scope is also specifically disclosed. Each smaller range between the intermediate value in any stated value or stated range and any other stated value or intermediate value in the described range is also included in the present invention. The upper and lower limits of these smaller ranges can be independently included or excluded in the scope.

[0038] Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those generally understood by those skilled in the art. Although the present invention describes only preferred methods and materials, any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein may also be used in the implementation or testing of the present invention. All documents mentioned in this specification are incorporated by reference to disclose and describe the methods and / or materials associated with the documents. In the event of a conflict with any incorporated document, the content of this specification shall prevail.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made to the specific embodiments of the present invention description without departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention. Other embodiments derived from the present invention description will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The present application description and examples are exemplary only.

[0040] The words “include,” “including,” “have,” “contain,” etc. used in this document are open-ended terms, meaning including but not limited to.

[0041] The "room temperature" and "normal temperature" mentioned in the present invention are all calculated as 25±2°C unless otherwise specified.

[0042] Copper ions effectively inhibit the growth of various bacteria and have a certain antibacterial effect on drug-resistant bacteria, but the onset is slow and the effect is not significant. Low concentrations of copper ions can effectively promote the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells to synthesize blood vessels, while high concentrations of copper ion residues can also be toxic to normal cells. Polydopamine has good tissue adhesion and antioxidant functions, but does not have antibacterial functions. After tannin polyphenols and polydopamine are complexed with copper ions, they can not only effectively control the release of copper ions, but also have enzyme-like activity to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, produce hydroxyl radicals, and enhance the bactericidal effect. In addition, under neutral conditions, tannin polyphenols and polydopamine have the function of removing active oxygen, and the enzyme-like activity produced after complexing with copper ions can further enhance its antioxidant effect. Therefore, the present invention introduces tannin polyphenols, polydopamine, and copper ions into the gel system together, which has very practical value and significance for the treatment of infected wounds.

[0043] After long-term research, the inventor found that although metal ions, such as copper, zinc, and silver, have antibacterial effects, for the entire healing process of complex wounds, infected wounds, and skin damage in diabetic patients, relying solely on antibacterial treatment cannot quickly and effectively heal the wound. Antioxidant treatment and elimination of oxidative stress are also very critical. The use of metal ions at high concentrations can easily lead to local tissue poisoning, while low concentrations cannot achieve good antibacterial effects. After tannin polyphenols and polydopamine are complexed with copper ions, a complex with catalytic activity is formed. On the one hand, hydrogen peroxide can be catalyzed to produce hydroxyl radicals under acidic conditions to enhance the bactericidal effect. Under neutral conditions, polyphenols and complexes have the effect of removing active oxygen; on the other hand, the complexation of polyphenols can effectively control the release of trace copper ions, promote angiogenesis, and avoid tissue poisoning. Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and process for preparing an adherent copper-containing hydrogel which can quickly kill bacterial pathogens, continuously remove free radicals from wounds, regulate oxidation balance, and promote wound healing by initiating polymerization of a tannin polyphenol / copper complex and compounding with polydopamine.

[0047] 3) preparing a double-bond modified gelatin aqueous solution, and then mixing it with the gel precursor solution of step 2) and the initiator of step 1) to react to obtain a prefabricated gel;

[0079] Comparative Example 1

[0080] Same as Example 3, except that the double-bond modified gelatin aqueous solution is replaced by gelatin aqueous solution.

[0082] The same as Example 3, except that step 1) is removed, and tannin polyphenol / copper complex is not used as the initiator, but only ammonium persulfate is used as the initiator.

[0083] Comparative Example 3

[0084] Similar to Example 3, instead of using a high-pressure reactor, the prefabricated gel was directly placed in a polytetrafluoroethylene dish and reacted at 120° C. for 2 h.

[0085] Test Example 1

[0086] Figure 1 TEM and element distribution diagram of tannic acid / copper initiator in Example 3; Figure 1 It can be seen that tannic acid and copper ions form an amorphous organometallic complex in the aqueous phase, and the copper element is clearly present and evenly distributed in the substance.

[0087] Figure 2 is the NMR spectrum of the double bond modified gelatin in implementation case 3; Figure 2 It can be seen that obvious double bond characteristic peaks appear at 5.58ppm and 5.34ppm, proving the successful modification of the double bond.

[0088] Figure 3 To prepare the gel in Example 3; Figure 3The successful preparation of the precast gel can be seen in the figure, and due to the presence of tannic acid, the gel presents a uniform yellow-brown color.

[0089] Figure 4 To implement the adhesion test of the prefabricated gel in Case 3, from left to right: 5mL sample bottle, No. 7 battery, 25g weight, 100g weight; Figure 4 It can be seen that the prefabricated gel has good adhesion properties at the glass, plastic and metal interfaces.

[0090] Figure 5 The adhesive antibacterial and antioxidant copper-containing hydrogel in Example 3 (left: before stretching; right: after stretching); Figure 5 It can be seen that dopamine forms a uniform polymer inside and on the surface of the gel, and the gel has good adhesion and tensile properties.

[0091] Figure 6 The antibacterial and antioxidant copper-containing hydrogel in the implementation case 3 is adhered to the surface of the medium; Figure 6 It can be seen that the gel has good adhesion properties at the glass and rubber interfaces; it is not easy to fall off during the peeling process, and the gel has high mechanical strength.

[0092] Figure 7 In the implementation case 3, the antibacterial and antioxidant copper-containing hydrogel with adhesive properties was used to test the anti-E. coli effect, wherein the E. coli culture conditions were: PBS 5.0 buffer solution, 1 mM H 2 O 2 , 37℃, 30min; Left: not co-cultured with gel; Right: co-cultured with gel; Figure 7 It can be seen that the Escherichia coli co-cultured with the gel under acidic conditions cannot survive, while the bacteria not co-cultured with the gel are still active, proving that the gel has a good bactericidal effect on Gram-negative bacteria; and because the cell wall of Escherichia coli is thicker than that of Staphylococcus aureus, it is theoretically shown that the gel also has a good ability to resist Gram-positive bacteria.

[0093] Figure 8 To demonstrate the antioxidant effect of the adherent antibacterial and antioxidant copper-containing hydrogel in Example 3, left 1 to left 3: Characterization of ROS in L929 cells induced by Rosup after co-culture with the gel for 0, 4, and 24 hours, respectively. The stronger the green fluorescence, the more severe the oxidative stress. Figure 8 It can be seen that the gel has a good antioxidant effect and can effectively remove the active oxygen in the cells co-cultured with it.

[0094] Fig. 9 The following are samples of the antibacterial and antioxidant copper-containing hydrogel in Example 3 just prepared (left) and after being stored for one week at 25°C and 55% humidity (middle and right). Fig. 9 It can be seen that the gel has a good water retention effect and has not completely lost water and shriveled. In terms of appearance, there is no obvious difference from the freshly prepared gel and it still has adhesion.

[0095] Fig.10 This is a picture of the prefabricated gel sample prepared in Comparative Example 1. Fig.10 It can be seen that after replacing the double-bonded gelatin with unmodified gelatin, the resulting precast gel is fragile and does not form. This is because the cross-linking effect of the double-bonded gelatin is lost, the cross-linking points are reduced, and the precast gel cannot form a network cross-linking, so the mechanical strength is poor.

[0096] Fig.11 This is the gelation condition in Comparative Example 2 where no tannin polyphenol / copper complex is used as an initiator and only ammonium persulfate is used as an initiator. Fig.11 It can be seen that without the tannin polyphenol / copper complex as an initiator, the solution could not gel within 30 min.

[0097] Fig.12 This is a sample of the antibacterial and antioxidant copper-containing hydrogel prepared in Comparative Example 3. As shown in the figure, compared with the gel obtained by heating in a high-pressure reactor, it can be seen that the dopamine polymerization inside and on the surface of the gel is incomplete, the gel texture is soft, and the mechanical strength is not as good as the colloid mechanical strength obtained after the high-pressure reaction.

[0098] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
