Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicine, and in particular relates to a multi-drug truncated microneedle, a preparation method and application thereof in promoting diabetic wounds. Background Art

[0002] In modern medicine, drug controlled release systems play a key role in disease treatment. Especially for complex diseases that require multi-drug combined treatment, how to accurately control the release time and dosage of different drugs, maximize the efficacy and reduce side effects, and make the drug release meet the progress of disease treatment is still a major challenge faced by scientists and workers. Microneedle drug delivery, as an emerging transdermal drug delivery method, penetrates the stratum corneum of the skin through a tiny needle array and delivers the drug directly to the microcirculation under the skin, thus overcoming many limitations of traditional oral or injectable drugs, such as first-pass effect and low bioavailability. In addition, microneedle delivery is non-invasive, easy to use, and can deliver drugs locally, significantly reducing systemic side effects, thus attracting widespread attention. However, microneedle systems for single drugs can usually only achieve instantaneous or short-term drug release, which cannot meet the complex treatment needs of certain diseases. Diseases such as chronic inflammation, cancer, and diabetes require multiple drugs to be released in a specific order and time to coordinate the therapeutic effects of different drugs and meet the dynamic needs in the process of disease treatment.

[0003] Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that is prevalent worldwide. Its hyperglycemia can cause a variety of complications, among which impaired diabetic wound healing is one of the most challenging complications. The lack of effective local vascularization, especially the formation and maintenance of functional blood vessels, leads to insufficient blood supply to the wound area, which severely limits the regenerative capacity of the tissue. Therefore, the coordinated release of angiogenesis and vascular maturation in time is the key to diabetic wound repair. Angiogenic drugs need to be delivered quickly in the early stages of wound healing to initiate angiogenesis, while angiogenic maturation drugs play a role in the later stages to promote the stabilization and maturation of new blood vessels. Therefore, how to precisely control the temporal release of multiple drugs to ensure that new blood vessels can not only form quickly but also maintain their functions continuously and stably is a key scientific issue in promoting diabetic wound healing.

[0004] Prior to the present invention, Chinese invention patent CN 113750079A disclosed a double-layer microneedle array, which can realize the layered differential release of vaccine / drug, which is conducive to the sequential delivery to meet the medication needs. However, this preparation method mixes the drug and the needle material together, and scrapes off the drug material solution many times in the middle. The drug loading is not accurate and causes drug waste. In addition, its outer layer is a sustained-release structure that reaches the release platform on the 7th day, and the sustained-release maintenance time is too short. Due to the presence of in vivo, the release platform period will be reached faster under the action of various enzymes and immune cells when used in vivo. It is not suitable for diseases with trace medication, expensive drugs, and long-term sustained release. Chinese invention patent CN 108392728A discloses a method for preparing a multilayer composite microneedle of silk fibroin, which changes the crystal structure of each layer of silk fibroin by a water treatment method to achieve different release rates of loaded drugs, but the silk fibroin structure adjustment process is not only complicated and cumbersome, but also not conducive to industrialization, and the method of crystal structure regulation is limited to the material of silk fibroin, and has no economic promotion value.

[0047] The following is further described in conjunction with specific implementation cases and drawings of the specification, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] The size of the multi-drug truncated microneedle patch used is 2.25 cm 2 It is a 15*15 array containing 225 microneedles. The connection between a single needle and the backing is a square with a side length of 320μm. The entire needle height is 800μm, of which the gel sustained-release needle tip is about 160μm high and the distance between two adjacent needle tips is 680μm.

[0050] This example provides a method for preparing a multi-drug truncated microneedle patch and investigates the therapeutic effect of the multi-drug truncated microneedle patch on promoting chronic wound healing in diabetic mice, including:

[0051] 1. Prepare the first drug solution: VEGF solution, the concentration of which is 0.1 mg / mL, and the solution is A;

[0052] 2. Prepare the gel sustained-release needle tip polymer solution: mix sodium hyaluronate (HA) modified with methacrylic anhydride, cross-linking agent ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (GDMA), and photoinitiator 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-benzophenone (I2959) in a mass ratio of 1:2:3 to obtain a mixed solution B;

[0053] 3. Prepare a fast-dissolving water-soluble polymer solution: the mass concentration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is 40%, and the solution is C;

[0054] 4. Prepare the second drug solution: PDGF solution, the concentration of which is 0.1 mg / mL.

[0055] 5. Preparation of multi-drug truncated microneedle patches Figure 1 As shown: Solution A was first injected into a customized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, Sylgard 184) microneedle array mold, and filtered for 30 minutes to fill the needle tip. Then the mixed solution B was added, filtered for 2 hours, the surface solution was scraped off, and UV light was irradiated for 30 seconds. Then solution D was injected into the microneedle array mold, filtered for 30 minutes to fill the needle body, and then solution C was added and filtered for 4 hours, and then solution C was added as a backing, placed in a silica gel dryer, and dried at 4°C for 24 hours to obtain a multi-drug truncated microneedle patch, and the single needle structure in the multi-drug truncated microneedle patch was: HA gel sustained-release needle tip loaded with VEGF, PVA fast-dissolving needle loaded with PDGF---PVA (V) + HA (P) and the connection between the PVA needle body backing.

[0056] Effect of promoting chronic wound healing in diabetic mice: Several 6-week-old male Balb / c male mice were selected, and the occurrence of diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (STZ). STZ was dissolved in citric acid buffer (pH 4.5) at a dose of 100-150 mg / kg per kilogram of body weight and administered by intraperitoneal injection for 5 consecutive days. After 7-10 days, the diabetic state was determined by measuring fasting blood glucose levels. Mice with fasting blood glucose values ​​exceeding 16.7 mmol / L can be considered to have successfully induced diabetes. The hair on the back of diabetic mice was removed by a shaver and depilatory cream. After 24 hours of observation, mice with no redness, swelling or damage on the back were selected for the experiment. Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane or sodium pentobarbital to ensure that the mice did not feel pain during surgery. The depth of anesthesia was detected by toe pinch pain reflex. The fur on the back (or flank) of the mouse was shaved to expose smooth skin. The surgical area was disinfected with iodine tincture and 70% alcohol. A 6 mm skin puncher was used to punch holes on the back (or flank) of mice to form full-thickness skin defects, and the mice were randomly divided into the following groups: PBS, PVA (P+V) - representing the whole needle is a PVA fast-dissolving needle body loaded with VEGF and PDGF; HA (P+V) - representing the whole needle is a HA gel sustained-release needle body loaded with VEGF and PDGF; PVA (P) + HA (V) - representing a gel sustained-release needle tip loaded with PDGF and a water-soluble polymer fast-dissolving needle body loaded with VEGF; PVA (V) + HA (P) - representing a gel sustained-release needle tip loaded with VEGF and a PVA fast-dissolving needle body loaded with PDGF. These five groups received corresponding microneedle patch treatments, and the mice were anesthetized and killed on the 7th and 14th days after treatment. The skin tissue at the wound modeling site of the mice was removed, and the neovascularization marker CD31 and smooth muscle cell marker a-SMA in the wound tissue were stained using immunofluorescence staining technology. After staining, the tissue sections were stained and the results were semi-quantitatively used to determine the proportion of mature blood vessels in different treatment groups.

[0057] The method for semi-quantification of the proportion of mature blood vessels is as follows:

[0058] (1) After immunofluorescence staining, confocal fluorescence microscopy can be used to observe that endothelial cells associated with blood vessel formation in the tissue are stained red, and smooth muscle cells associated with vascular maturation are stained green.

[0059] (2) Next, randomly search for 5 areas in the wound tissue slices, count the number of red fluorescent cells (new blood vessels) in the area, and then count the number of red fluorescent cells (mature blood vessels) surrounded by green fluorescent cells in the area.

[0060] (3) The number of mature blood vessels in the same area / the number of new blood vessels = the proportion of mature blood vessels in the area.

[0061] The results can be found in Figure 8 , PVA(V)+HA(P) corresponding to the embodiment of the present invention has the best effect.

[0062] In this embodiment, the double-bond grafted sodium hyaluronate may replace or further include one or more of silk protein, gelatin, carboxymethyl chitosan or quaternized chitosan.

[0063] In this embodiment, GDMA can be replaced by or further include one or more of bisphenol A epoxy resin, toluene diisocyanate (TDI), glutaraldehyde, methyltrimethoxysilane or maleic anhydride.

[0064] In this embodiment, I2959 can replace or further include one or more of benzoyl peroxide, ammonium persulfate, aluminum chloride, potassium (K) sodium (Na), 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, hydrogen peroxide-sodium thiosulfate system, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or benzoyl peroxide.

[0065] In this embodiment, VEGF and PDGF can be replaced or further include bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), anti-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 antibody (anti-VEGFR-2), anti-programmed death receptor 1 antibody (anti-PD-1), oxaliplatin (OXA), interleukin 10 (IL10) or one or more thereof.

[0066] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the present embodiment successfully prepared multi-drug truncated microneedles, and in a single needle, the height of the gel sustained-release needle tip and the height of the fast-dissolving needle body were about 1:4. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the multi-drug truncated microneedle patch easily pierces the pig skin and has good mechanical properties. Figure 6 It can be seen that when the green fluorescent drug is loaded in the gel needle tip body, after the entire truncated microneedle patch is dissolved in water, the green fluorescence in the bottom gel needle tip is strong, indicating that the drug is not quickly released into the aqueous solution; and when the green fluorescent drug is loaded in the fast-dissolving needle body, after the entire truncated microneedle patch is dissolved in water, the fluorescence in the entire aqueous solution is strong and uniform, indicating that the drug is quickly released into the entire solution. Figure 7 The in vitro release experiments further confirmed Figure 6 The result, from Figure 7 It can be seen that the release rate of the drug loaded in the fast-dissolving needle body exceeds 75% after 24 hours, while the drug release rate in the gel sustained-release layer is less than 10% in the first 24 hours, and the drug release in the fast-dissolving needle body is basically completely released on the 6th day, reaching the release plateau, while the drug release in the gel sustained-release layer is still in a state of continuous slow release on the 16th day. Finally, after a single treatment of the chronic wounds of diabetic mice, the multi-drug truncated microneedle PVA (V) + HA (P) group used the water-soluble polymer fast-dissolving needle body to quickly deliver the angiogenic drug VEGF, and used the natural biogel sustained-release needle tip body to slowly deliver the angiogenic drug PDGF, so that the wounds of this group of mice had the highest proportion of vascular maturity on the 7th and 14th days after treatment, which means a good healing trend of the wound.
