Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine technology, and in particular to a dermal filler and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Dermal fillers refer to a type of material that is implanted under the skin or into the dermis to change or correct skin soft tissue. They are used to replace tissue lost due to disease, trauma, etc. or for medical cosmetic purposes. Existing dermal fillers are mostly used to fill wrinkles and folds in the skin, replacing the loss of skin soft tissue caused by disease or skin aging.

[0003] Currently, there are many dermal filler products on the market, which can be divided into two categories based on their mode of action: the first category provides a filling effect through volume, such as cross-linked hyaluronic acid, collagen and other fillers; this type of filler has a short degradation time in the body and cannot provide long-term filling effects, requiring repeated injections. In addition, fillers with cross-linked hyaluronic acid as the main component have a certain amount of cross-linker residue due to the use of chemical cross-linking agents, which may cause a risk of biotoxicity. Furthermore, fillers composed of single cross-linked hyaluronic acid have poor fluidity and greater resistance during injection; the second type of filler can stimulate the body's own collagen regeneration to play a filling role, and includes high-molecular synthetic polymers such as poly (L-lactic acid), polycaprolactone and hydroxyapatite; this type of filler mainly stimulates the body's own collagen regeneration through degradation products to exert a filling effect, and the material degradation requires a certain amount of time, so it cannot produce an immediate filling effect. Due to individual differences, different patients have different sensitivities to stimuli, and excessive stimulation can easily cause the skin filling effect to meet expectations.

[0004] Existing absorbable injectable skin fillers are mainly sodium hyaluronate (cross-linked or non-cross-linked), poly-L-lactic acid and collagen. Among them, sodium hyaluronate cross-linking technology is mature. A common method is to cross-link it using chemical cross-linkers such as divinyl sulfone (DVS) or butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), and to control its in vivo retention time by adjusting the degree of cross-linking. Specifically, patent CN108395552 addresses the problems of poor product uniformity and difficult canning of sodium hyaluronate gel products by varying the degree of cross-linking between hyaluronic acid and chemical cross-linkers, thereby affecting its rheological properties and changing the size of the final gel particles. Patent CN113278170A utilizes the properties of long-chain polysaccharide hyaluronic acid, which has higher degrees of freedom and can expose more reactive groups in lithium bromide solution, to mix sodium hyaluronate with lithium bromide to improve the uniformity of the cross-linking reaction, cross-linking efficiency, and product recovery rate. However, hyaluronic acid suffers from poor stability, sensitivity to hyaluronidase and free radicals, and short in vivo retention time. Even using cross-linking agents to regulate in vivo retention time cannot solve the problems of high injection frequency and high cost.

[0005] Collagen is a biopolymer substance widely present in the mammalian body. It is an important component of connective tissue and extracellular matrix. It has good biological activity and is a good biological filling material. However, it degrades quickly, has a short retention time, and has poor biological stability. Multiple fillings are required to achieve a lasting filling effect.

[0006] Currently, poly(L-lactic acid) skin fillers have shortcomings such as long hydration time, subcutaneous nodules after injection, and instability of poly(L-lactic acid). At the same time, fillers such as poly(lactic acid) used alone to stimulate autologous fibroblasts to form collagen do not have a good filling effect in a short period of time. Therefore, sodium hyaluronate or substances (such as cross-linked dextran, amino acids, etc.) are often added to poly(L-lactic acid) materials to ensure the filling effect while increasing the durability of the filling effect. However, the filling effect of such products varies from person to person, and the effect of the same injection dose may differ greatly from expectations. Excessive injection doses may also cause inflammation and form tissue cysts, requiring multiple injections to be effective.

[0007] Therefore, existing absorbable injectable skin fillers require multiple injections to be effective, which is inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0030] Figure 1 This is a microscope photo of the polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] To solve the problem that existing absorbable injectable dermal fillers require multiple injections to be effective, the present invention provides a dermal filler, which comprises a filler solution and polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres dispersed in the filler solution; wherein the mass content of the polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres in the filler solution is 10%-60%; the filler solution comprises a suspending dispersant and a buffer salt; in this application, the buffer salt is preferably a phosphate; see Figure 1 As shown, the polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres include polylactic acid microspheres and hydroxyethyl cellulose coated on the surface of the polylactic acid microspheres; in the polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres, the mass ratio of the polylactic acid microspheres to the hydroxyethyl cellulose is 1:1 to 1:10.

[0033] Among them, polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres form a stable gel wrapping on the surface of polylactic acid microspheres through hydroxyethyl cellulose. On the one hand, it can produce a timely filling effect. On the other hand, after being coated with hydroxyethyl cellulose, it can have a sustained-release effect, which helps to prolong the degradation time of polylactic acid and reduce its degradation rate, so that the degradation products can be gradually released to stimulate collagen production. At the same time, hydroxyethyl cellulose gradually degrades, and finally realizes the role of self-collagen replacing microspheres to play a role in tissue filling. Through the slow transition from physical filling to collagen regeneration, a natural filling effect is achieved, thereby realizing the conversion of dermal fillers from physical filling to autologous collagen filling, and then being able to exert a long-term filling effect through a single injection. It can take effect without multiple injections and is easy to use.

[0034] In addition, the polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres of the present invention have a small particle size, and the product is easy to inject without clogging the needle.

[0035] The dermal filler provided by the present invention uses polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres as the main component and is supplemented with a filling liquid. It has good biocompatibility and can provide a long-lasting filling effect, so that it can be effective without the need for multiple injections and is easy to use.

[0036] The preferred suspending and dispersing agent of the present invention is selected from at least one of hyaluronic acid, cellulose derivatives, and collagen, so that the gel wrapping formed by hydroxyethyl cellulose on the surface of polylactic acid microspheres can cooperate with the gel suspending and dispersing agent. The superposition effect of the two is more conducive to producing a timely filling effect.

[0037] In addition, to ensure the filling effect, the filling liquid of the present invention preferably also includes a functional component; the functional component is selected from at least one of anesthetics, antioxidants, mineral salts, and amino acids, and the specific type can be determined according to the filling requirements.

[0038] The preferred mass ratio of the suspending and dispersing agent, the functional component and the buffer salt in the filling liquid of the present invention is (5-7): (1-2): (20-30).

[0039] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the dermal filler as described above, the method comprising the following steps:

[0040] S1: emulsifying polylactic acid to obtain a polylactic acid microsphere suspension;

[0041] S2: freeze-drying the polylactic acid microsphere suspension. The freeze-drying conditions are: pre-freezing at -40°C for 2 hours, freezing the sample for 36 hours after freezing, and obtaining polylactic acid microspheres.

[0042] S3: dissolving hydroxyethyl cellulose in a mixed solvent of acetone / water to prepare a coating solution containing hydroxyethyl cellulose;

[0043] S4: coating the polylactic acid microspheres with the coating liquid through a fluidized bed device to obtain coated microspheres;

[0044] S5: adding the coated microspheres to purified water for swelling, filtering, collecting the filtrate and irradiating the filtrate to obtain polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres;

[0045] S6: Compounding the polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres with the filling solution, packaging the mixture and sterilizing it with moist heat to obtain a dermal filler.

[0046] The preparation method of the dermal filler provided by the present invention has a simple preparation process. The prepared dermal filler, which uses polylactic acid / hydroxyethyl cellulose microspheres as a main component and is supplemented with a filling liquid, has good biocompatibility and can provide a long-lasting filling effect, thereby being effective without the need for multiple injections and being easy to use.

[0047] Specifically, the preferred step S1 of the present invention includes:

[0048] S11: adding polylactic acid to the first solvent, stirring and dissolving, to obtain a polylactic acid solution;

[0049] S12: Turn on the homogenizer and drip the polylactic acid solution into the second solvent. The speed of the homogenizer is 7000-15000 rpm. Emulsification is continued for 5-20 minutes under this condition. After emulsification is completed, stirring is continued for 3-12 hours to obtain a polylactic acid microsphere suspension.

[0050] In the preferred step S12 of the present invention, the polylactic acid solution is slowly dripped into the second solvent at a rate of 5-20 mL / min.

[0051] The first solvent and the second solvent are both selected from at least one of ethanol, acetone, ether, dichloromethane, chloroform, and purified water; the first solvent and the second solvent may be the same or different.

[0052] To ensure that the dermal filler can simultaneously provide timely filling and long-lasting filling effects, the viscosity of the hydroxyethyl cellulose in step S3 is preferably 800-4000 mPa.s (2%), and the degree of substitution is preferably 1.6-3.0; and the mass content of the hydroxyethyl cellulose in the coating solution in step S3 is 0.5% to 5%.

[0053] Furthermore, the coating conditions in step S4 of the present invention are preferably as follows: fluidizing temperature 30°C to 50°C, blast flow rate 50L / min to 200L / min, jet pressure 0.1Mpa to 0.5Mpa, and liquid spray flow rate 1mL / min to 20mL / min; the coated microspheres are treated at 100°C to 160°C under inert gas protection for 0.5h to 4h.

[0054] In the present invention, it is further preferred that the irradiation dose in step S5 is 5 kGy to 45 kGy.

[0055] The polylactic acid microspheres in the present invention are coated with hydroxyethyl cellulose. After high-temperature treatment, the hydroxyethyl cellulose can form a stable coating on the surface of the microspheres, which has strong hydrophobicity and degradation resistance. After the microspheres absorb water and swell, they are subjected to radiation cross-linking treatment to further increase their stability and prolong the degradation time of the hydroxyethyl cellulose, thereby extending the action time of the filler in the body.

[0056] The present invention is the first to use cross-linked hydroxyethyl cellulose as a coating material to prepare polylactic acid composite microspheres. High-temperature treatment and irradiation are used to cross-link the hydroxyethyl cellulose, thereby extending its degradation time and stabilizing the coating layer. Ultimately, the degradation regulation of polylactic acid is achieved, causing it to degrade slowly and gradually stimulating autologous collagen regeneration.
