Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biomedicine, and in particular to a sodium alginate embolic particle and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the more common malignant tumors in stem cells, and cases of this tumor account for about 6% of the world's diagnosed cancer cases. The common treatment for tumors is surgical resection, but for patients with mid-to-late stage tumors, interventional therapy such as transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a more ideal treatment option. In this method, the embolic microspheres injected into the tumor tissue by the catheter not only block the nutrient supply to the tumor tissue but also release anti-tumor drugs. As the concentration of anti-cancer drugs in the tumor tissue increases, it inhibits the lesion site, thereby achieving the effect of treating the tumor.

[0003] Modified sodium alginate (SA), also known as algin and alginic acid, is a natural biological macromolecule sodium salt extracted from natural brown algae. It is widely used in food, medicine and other industries because of its non-toxicity, good biocompatibility and wide sources. Especially in the field of biopharmaceutical materials, it has attracted much attention as a drug carrier. There have been some reports on the preparation of embolic agents using sodium alginate as a raw material. Most of them are calcium alginate solids formed by cross-linking sodium alginate with divalent metal ions. The microstructure of this solid is mostly flaky and solid, with low specific surface area, irregular size after water absorption and swelling, and easy to block the tube. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a sodium alginate embolic particle and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing sodium alginate embolic particles, which specifically comprises the following steps in sequence:

[0006] Dissolving, primary freeze-drying, infiltration, cross-linking, secondary freeze-drying, crushing and screening, and sterilization;

[0007] The specific steps of dissolving are: using sodium alginate powder as a raw material, preparing a sodium alginate aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 1.7-2.3wt%, adding tert-butyl alcohol freeze-drying protective agent, stirring at 55-65° C. for 50-70 minutes, and cooling to 0-5° C. while maintaining the stirring state for standby use; the amount of the freeze-drying protective agent used is 8-18 times the weight of the sodium alginate raw material;

[0008] The specific steps of the infiltration are: infiltrating the sodium alginate sponge obtained by primary freeze-drying in a sodium alginate aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 0.1 to 0.8 wt % until the sponge reaches a saturated state to obtain a sodium alginate infiltrated body;

[0009] The specific steps of cross-linking are: immersing the sodium alginate impregnated body in a cross-linking solution and subjecting the cross-linking reaction to 2 to 6 hours; the cross-linking solution comprises the following components in parts by weight: 40 to 50 parts of anhydrous ethanol, 1 to 3 parts of calcium chloride, and 48 to 58 parts of water.

[0010] The present application prepares a sodium alginate aqueous solution of a specific concentration, adds tert-butyl alcohol freeze-drying protective agent and performs primary freeze-drying. The freeze-dried sponge is infiltrated with a sodium alginate aqueous solution of a lower concentration, and then cross-linked, freeze-dried for a second time, crushed and sieved, and sterilized. The obtained sodium alginate embolic particles have a uniform, flat, microcrystalline appearance and morphology, which can effectively prevent the sponge from collapsing, reduce the degree of sponge shrinkage, and keep the sponge in a fluffy microstructure. The embolic particles have high porosity, low average pore size, small swelling degree, and appropriate water absorption. The sodium alginate embolic particles prepared in the present application have excellent suspension performance and catheter passability, which is conducive to the application of the embolic particles.

[0011] Aiming at the shortcomings of the prior art embolic agents made of sodium alginate as raw material, which are mostly flaky and solid in microstructure, low in specific surface area, irregular in size after swelling due to water absorption, and easy to block the tube, improvements are made to prepare an embolic agent with high porosity and fluffy structure.

[0012] The present application selects tert-butyl alcohol with moderate solubility and volatility as a lyoprotectant to ensure that it can be evenly dispersed in sodium alginate during the preparation process and can be easily removed in subsequent processing to leave the desired pore structure; such a lyoprotectant can form sufficient pores while maintaining a good appearance and morphology.

[0013] Preferably, in the specific step of dissolving, the mass concentration of the sodium alginate aqueous solution is 1.9-2.1 wt %.

[0014] Preferably, in the specific step of infiltration: the mass concentration of the sodium alginate aqueous solution is 0.2-0.7 wt %

[0015] Furthermore, in the specific step of infiltrating: the mass concentration of the sodium alginate aqueous solution is 0.3-0.6wt%.

[0016] Through experimental analysis, it can be known that the present application selects the sodium alginate aqueous solution of the above concentration as the infiltration solution to infiltrate the sodium alginate sponge obtained by primary freeze-drying, which can effectively improve the performance of the sodium alginate embolic particles.

[0017] Preferably, the cross-linking liquid comprises the following components in parts by weight: 40-50 parts of anhydrous ethanol, 1-3 parts of calcium chloride, and 48-58 parts of water.

[0018] Preferably, the cross-linking solution comprises the following components in parts by weight: 40-50 parts of anhydrous ethanol, 1-3 parts of calcium chloride, 2-8 parts of glycerol, 0.3-0.9 parts of lysine, and 48-58 parts of water.

[0019] Furthermore, the cross-linking solution comprises the following components in parts by weight: 40-50 parts of anhydrous ethanol, 1-3 parts of calcium chloride, 4-6 parts of glycerol, 0.5-0.7 parts of lysine, and 48-58 parts of water.

[0020] Through experimental analysis, it can be known that the present application selects the above components to mix and form a cross-linking liquid, and controls the weight of each component, so that the performance of the sodium alginate embolic particles is further improved.

[0021] Preferably, the specific steps of the primary freeze-drying are: cooling from 0 to 5°C to -23 to -28°C at a cooling rate of 0.2 to 1.5°C / min for pre-freezing for 2 to 4 hours, and then freeze-drying at -55 to -65°C for 24 to 60 hours.

[0022] Preferably, the specific steps of the secondary freeze-drying are: cooling from 0 to 5°C to -23 to -28°C at a cooling rate of 2-5.5°C / min for pre-freezing for 2 to 4 hours, and then freeze-drying at -55 to -65°C for 24 to 60 hours.

[0023] The inventors of the present application discovered that the cooling rate and freeze-drying time in the freezing step have a certain influence on the performance of the sodium alginate embolic particles. Through experimental research, it was found that controlling the cooling rate and freeze-drying time within the above range can avoid the occurrence of adverse problems of the sodium alginate embolic agent and ensure the excellent performance of the sodium alginate embolic particles.

[0024] In a second aspect, the present application provides a sodium alginate embolic particle prepared by the above-mentioned method for preparing the sodium alginate embolic particle.

[0025] In a third aspect, the present application provides the use of the above-mentioned sodium alginate embolic particles in the preparation of embolic agents.

[0026] In summary, the technical solution of this application has the following effects:

[0027] The present application improves the porosity and pore size of sodium alginate during molding, forms serial micropores, and increases the specific surface area and fluffiness; the sodium alginate provided by the present application is dissolved, freeze-dried once, cross-linked, freeze-dried twice, crushed, sieved and sterilized to meet clinical needs.

[0028] The combination of freeze-drying and infiltration steps in the technical solution provided by the present application can increase the micropores of sodium alginate, so that its structural form is changed from a compact powder to a porous and fluffy state, thereby greatly increasing the specific surface area of ​​sodium alginate and increasing its solubility in water. At the same time, the increase in micropores greatly reduces the hydration of particles and significantly improves the agglomeration phenomenon of sodium alginate during the dissolution process. At the same time, the freezing treatment of the present application converts the water in the solution into ice crystals, and the specific surface area and pores of the obtained sodium alginate ice balls are increased; and the obtained sodium alginate embolic particles have a uniform, flat, microcrystalline appearance and morphology, which can effectively prevent the collapse of the sponge, reduce the degree of sponge shrinkage, and keep the sponge in a fluffy microstructure, with excellent suspension performance and catheter passing performance, which is conducive to the application of embolic particles.
