Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to an injectable skin filler and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, injectable skin fillers for cosmetic and medical purposes have developed rapidly. Injectable skin fillers can achieve the cosmetic effect of minimally invasive treatment at the injection site and have attracted widespread attention. The soft tissue fillers currently on the market mainly include cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel, collagen, polycaprolactone, polylactic acid and hydroxyapatite. Among them, the action time of cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel and collagen in the skin is 6 to 12 months, and the action time of polycaprolactone, polylactic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite in the skin is about 2 years or more. Polyester materials such as polylactic acid, polycaprolactone and its monomers have the advantages of good biocompatibility, non-toxicity and low immunity, so they are widely used in the fields of biomedicine and tissue engineering. At present, there are many products containing polylactic acid and / or polycaprolactone used for filling skin wrinkles and depressions, and their main forms are polylactic acid microparticles, polylactic acid microspheres and polycaprolactone microspheres. However, there are similar problems such as high preparation cost, slow reaction speed, complex structure and poor material performance.

[0003] For example, some powder-based baby face injections require a long time (usually about 24 hours) of hydration before they can be used for intradermal injection as cosmetic injection fillers, which brings inconvenience to patients. In addition, after hydration, the filler needs to be mixed before injection, which makes it difficult for the polylactic acid particles to be fully mixed and easily aggregated, resulting in the appearance of subcutaneous nodules.

[0004] The solution proposed in patents CN 104258470B, CN 109621003A, and CN 105879124 B is to prepare the filler directly into a gel form to avoid the re-dissolution problem. However, studies have found that polyester microspheres cannot exist stably for a long time in an aqueous environment. If stored for more than one month, problems such as microsphere structure collapse or microsphere adhesion may occur. In addition, gel products cannot be sterilized by irradiation. For low-melting-point polyester materials such as polycaprolactone, high-temperature wet heat sterilization is not suitable, resulting in a complicated product sterilization procedure and high production line costs.

[0005] The amphiphilic polyester microspheres mentioned in the prior art mainly refer to amphiphilic polylactic acid materials, but are not applicable to other polyester materials that are difficult to hydrophilically modify. In addition, the amphiphilic microspheres only improve their suspension and dispersion properties in gel solutions. After implantation in the body, they face the problem of microsphere migration and aggregation caused by the degradation of the suspension and dispersion medium, just like other polyester microspheres. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an injectable skin filler and a preparation method and application thereof, which solves the problem in the prior art that polyester microspheres are easy to agglomerate after reconstitution due to the strong hydrophobicity of polyester and are forced to migrate after entering the skin tissue.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0008] A first aspect of the present invention provides an injectable dermal filler comprising:

[0021] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing an injectable dermal filler, comprising the following steps:

[0022] (1) dissolving the polyester in an organic solvent to obtain an organic solution of the polyester;

[0023] (2) dissolving a dispersant in the poor solvent for the polyester in step (1) to obtain a dispersant solution;

[0025] (4) dissolving the catechol-terminated amphiphilic polymer in a volatile solvent to prepare a modified solution;

[0026] (5) adding the polyester microspheres in step (3) into the modified solution, stirring and dispersing the solution, and filtering and drying the solution to obtain hydrophilically modified adhesive polyester microspheres;

[0027] (6) dissolving the suspending agent and the synergist in water, adding the hydrophilically modified adhesive polyester microspheres described in step (5) thereto and mixing evenly, and freeze-drying to obtain the injectable dermal filler.

[0028] Furthermore, in step (1), the organic solvent is a good solvent for the polyester, and the good solvent is a mixture of one or more selected from tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane;

[0029] In step (2), the dispersant is a mixture of one or more selected from polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylamide; the poor solvent for the polyester is selected from water and a mixture of water and methanol or ethanol.

[0031] Furthermore, in step (6), the freeze-drying temperature is -40°C to -38°C, the freeze-drying time is 12 to 48 hours, and the vacuum degree is 0.5 to 1.0 Pa.

After being injected into human tissues, the modified microspheres have tissue adhesion and are fixed at the target position, which can effectively avoid adverse tissue reactions caused by the migration of the microspheres.

[0081] This embodiment provides an injectable dermal filler and a preparation method thereof. The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the mass concentration of the modified solution in step (4) is 4%. Finally, an injectable dermal filler is also prepared.

[0082] Comparative Example 2

[0083] This embodiment provides an injectable skin filler and a preparation method thereof. The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the polyester microspheres are not modified with catechol-terminated amphiphilic polymers. Finally, an injectable skin filler is also prepared.

[0084] Comparative Example 3:

[0085] This embodiment provides an injectable skin filler and a preparation method thereof. The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the feeding amounts of mannitol and polyethylene glycol-polylactic acid modified poly-L-lactic acid microspheres used in step (6) are 3 g and 6 g, respectively. Finally, an injectable skin filler is also prepared.

[0086] In the present invention, the injectable dermal fillers prepared in the above-mentioned Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the results corresponded to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 .

[0087] Specifically, from Figure 5 It can be seen that the polyester microspheres were not modified with catechol-terminated amphiphilic polymers. The surface of the poly-L-lactic acid microspheres was smooth and dense but accompanied by a small number of pits with sharp edges. These pits were caused by phase separation during the evaporation of the solvent.

[0088] Figure 2 It shows that after modification with 0.5% catechol-terminated polyethylene glycol-polylactic acid, the pits on the surface of the microspheres became shallower and the surface was smoother, and the smoothness of the surface of the microspheres decreased, indicating that the surface of the microspheres was successfully modified with a layer of material.

[0089] As the concentration of the modified solution increases, the surface morphology of the microspheres also changes. After modification with a 2% concentration modified solution, the microspheres ( Figure 1 ) There are a few debris on the surface, which is due to the deposition of the modified substances, but the microspheres maintain a smooth surface and the pits are covered by the amphiphilic polymer.

[0090] As the concentration of the modified solution increases further, the surface morphology of the microspheres also changes further. Figure 3 The surface of the microspheres is rough but the microspheres remain dispersed; it can be seen from the figure that the higher the concentration of the modified solution, the more amphiphilic substances are coated on the surface of the polyester microspheres, causing regular changes in the surface morphology of the microspheres.

[0091] However, a large number of fragments were generated in the sample prepared in Comparative Example 1 ( Figure 4 ), which should be avoided when filling microspheres.

[0092] In addition, the present invention also conducted a re-dissolution experiment on the injectable dermal fillers prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 of Examples 1 to 10 above, and the specific operation steps are as follows:

[0093] Take 0.3 g of the injection powder prepared in Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, dissolve it in 5 ml of physiological saline and shake it gently, and record the complete reconstitution state and time.

[0094] The complete re-dissolution time and the re-dissolution effect of 10 min for Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are shown in the following table:

[0095]

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] From the time required for complete re-dissolution of Examples 1 to 10 and Examples 1 to 3, it can be seen that modifying the microspheres can effectively shorten the re-dissolution time of the injection, and the higher the concentration of the modified solvent, the shorter the time taken, but increasing the proportion of microspheres in the filler is not conducive to the rapid re-dissolution of the filler. Example 1, Example 3 and Comparative Example 1 can be completely re-dissolved in just 10 minutes, while Comparative Example 2 requires 30 minutes to be completely re-dissolved, and there are obvious floccules in the solution after 10 minutes of re-dissolution; the time for complete re-dissolution of Comparative Example 3 is 25 minutes, which is longer than that of Examples 1-10. The 10-minute re-dissolution effect is worse than that of Examples 1-10, but better than Comparative Example 2. From the re-dissolution time, it can be seen that the amphiphilic polymer coated on the surface of the polyester microspheres is conducive to the re-dissolution of the filler.

[0099] The present invention also conducted a filling effect experiment on the injectable skin fillers in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 2. Specifically, the injectable powders in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 2 were sterilized, added with 5 ml of physiological saline for reconstitution for 30 minutes, and then injected into the back of the experimental rabbit, with 0.2 ml injected. The injection site was regularly sampled for HE staining to observe the effect and inflammation condition.

[0100] The results of HE staining of tissue sites 15 days after injection were as follows Figures 6 to 8 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the dispersibility of the microspheres prepared in Examples 1 and 2 is better than that in Comparative Example 2. The microspheres in Comparative Example 2 are severely agglomerated. Because the reconstituted samples before injection are evenly dispersed and the injection concentration and conditions are consistent, the reason for the agglomeration of the microspheres is the agglomeration caused by the movement and squeezing of the rabbits. Examples 1 to 2 avoid this displacement and agglomeration tendency due to the tissue adhesion of the microspheres.

[0101] The results of HE staining of tissues one month after injection were as follows: Figures 9-11 As shown, compared Figures 9-11 It can be seen that the microspheres prepared in Example 2 have a slight tendency to agglomerate 30 days after injection into the body. This is because of the movement of the animal and the degradation and shedding of the tissue adhesive material on the surface of the polyester microspheres, and because the time is short, the tissue has not yet completely fixed the microspheres. The content of tissue adhesive amphiphilic polymer covered on the surface of the microspheres used in Example 1 is higher than that used in Example 2, and its tissue adhesive effect is longer than that of Example 2, so the dispersion of the microspheres is still good.

[0102] The results of HE staining of tissues at three months after injection are as follows Figures 12-14 As shown, compared Figures 12-14 It can be seen that the microspheres prepared in Example 2 were slightly aggregated 90 days after injection into the body, and the inflammatory stimulation was relatively mild, which was consistent with the results 30 days after injection. The microspheres in Example 1 were still well dispersed, and the microspheres were completely fixed by the tissue at this time, while the microspheres in Comparative Example 2 were severely aggregated, and the aggregated microspheres were fixed by the tissue.

[0103] The results of HE staining of tissues one year after injection are as follows Figures 15 to 17 As shown, from Fig.16 It can be seen that the microspheres have good dispersion and no agglomeration, and the dispersion is better than Fig.15 , Fig.17 The microspheres in the sample had the most serious agglomeration.

[0104] Comparative Analysis Figures 6 to 17 It can be seen that the modified microspheres have greatly improved dispersibility when the filler is injected into the body. Because the microspheres have tissue adhesion, the microspheres are well fixed at the injection site after entering the body, thereby avoiding the agglomeration of microspheres caused by the degradation of the suspending agent and the continuous movement and extrusion of the animal. As time goes by, the adhesive substances on the surface of the microspheres degrade and the microspheres coated with tissues can still maintain good dispersibility. From the comparative test results of Example 1 and Example 2, it can be seen that the more the teaphenol-terminated polyethylene glycol-polylactic acid is covered, the longer the microsphere adhesion is maintained.

[0105] from Figure 6 , 9 The results of 12 and 15 show that the microspheres used in the filler prepared in Example 1 have an appropriate content of the surface-modified copolymer. After being injected into the body, the microspheres remain dispersed due to their own adhesion. After the copolymer on the surface is slowly degraded, it remains dispersed due to the coating of the tissue, thereby avoiding adverse reactions caused by microsphere agglomeration.

[0106] In summary, the injectable skin filler of hydrophilically modified adhesive polyester microspheres provided by the present invention can immediately fill subcutaneous tissue and smooth wrinkles under the action of the synergist gel after dilution and injection. Subsequently, the adhesive copolymer on the surface of the microspheres reacts with the human tissue for fixation, thereby preventing the polyester microspheres from moving and agglomerating due to the loss of the plasticizer. As time goes by, the adhesive copolymer slowly degrades, but the polyester microspheres are also coated and fixed by the human tissue; the gradual degradation of the polyester microspheres can stimulate the subcutaneous immune response, so that the body produces collagen, and continues to fill and maintain the subcutaneous capacity.

[0107] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
