Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical materials, and in particular relates to a soluble microneedle patch prepared by adopting a cyclic light-curing 3D printing technology. Background Art
[0002] As an emerging transdermal drug delivery technology, microneedle patches have broad application prospects. Usually, microneedle patches are composed of a backing layer and a needle body layer. With the help of tiny needles, they penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin and accurately deliver drugs to the subcutaneous tissue, thereby achieving painless and efficient drug delivery. Microneedles mainly include solid microneedles, hollow microneedles, coated microneedles, swellable microneedles and soluble microneedles. Among them, soluble microneedles account for about 35%, which is the most widely used and most important one. Its application fields are diverse, including but not limited to drug treatment, vaccination, beauty and skin care, etc.
[0003] At present, soluble microneedles are mainly prepared by the template method, but this method has many shortcomings, such as high cost, low production efficiency, and difficulty in preparing complex structures. For example, the patent "A method for accelerating the molding and rapid dissolution of polyvinyl alcohol soluble microneedles and prepared microneedles" with publication number CN110947085A uses the template method to manufacture microneedles. Although this method is simple and fast, it still cannot get rid of the limitation that the template method cannot achieve personalized manufacturing. In comparison, 3D printing technology has unique advantages. It can quickly and accurately create microneedles with complex structures and can achieve personalized customization. 3D printing technology mainly includes extrusion molding, photocuring molding, etc. Patent CN115139514B proposes a method for preparing a 3D printed degradable and easily separable microneedle array, and uses fused deposition modeling 3D printing technology to prepare polylactic acid-based soluble microneedles. However, the microneedles prepared by these extrusion-based 3D printing technologies have poor precision and face problems such as overspraying, nozzle clogging, and dirt during the printing process, which is not conducive to the large-scale production of soluble microneedles.
[0004] Compared with 3D printing technology based on extrusion molding, photocuring 3D printing technology has the characteristics of high precision and high resolution, and is suitable for manufacturing microneedles with fine structures. As a type of photocuring 3D printing technology, DLP 3D printing technology can quickly cure photosensitive materials through digital light processing technology to achieve efficient 3D printing. At present, in the field of microneedle preparation, photocuring 3D printing technology has been used to prepare swelling microneedles. In the published patent CN115957430A, a polymerizable eutectic solvent is used as a 3D printing ink, and its high drug loading and rapid photocuring performance are applied to prepare a eutectic gel microneedle patch that can release drugs intelligently in one step. However, these microneedle patches are all swelling microneedle patches, and their polymer networks are covalently cross-linked, which causes the needle body layer to swell and release drugs after piercing the skin, and cannot achieve dissolution and release of drugs.
[0005] In addition, after the existing microneedle patches are used, the residual backing layer is often discarded. Most of the photocurable 3D printing resins are derived from non-renewable fossil energy sources, and the discarded 3D printed parts are difficult to recycle, which can easily cause serious waste of resources and environmental pollution. With the continuous improvement of the country's environmental protection requirements, it has become a top priority to vigorously promote the development of recyclable materials. Some researchers have introduced dynamic covalent bonds into photocurable 3D printing resins. For example, in patent CN116478325A, acrylate monomers are mixed with RAFT agents, dynamic crosslinkers and photoinitiators to form a recyclable 3D printing photosensitive resin solution. After DLP 3D printing and curing, high-precision parts with recyclability are obtained. However, these works are more about demonstrating the feasibility of recyclable photocurable 3D printing technology, and their specific materials are not suitable for preparing microneedle backing layers. In view of the above situation, it is particularly important to develop a soluble microneedle patch prepared by recyclable photocurable 3D printing technology. This patch can not only achieve the dissolution of the needle body layer, but also ensure the recyclability of the backing layer, thereby reducing resource waste and environmental pollution. Summary of the invention
[0006] In order to solve the deficiencies existing in the above-mentioned background technology, mainly the technical problems that the current photocuring 3D printing technology is mainly used to prepare swellable microneedles, cannot dissolve the drug, and the backing layer cannot be recycled, a recyclable DLP 3D printed soluble microneedle patch and a preparation method thereof are provided to overcome the deficiencies of the soluble microneedle preparation method in the prior art, realize the precise and personalized manufacturing of microneedle patches, ensure that the needle body layer can dissolve the drug, and at the same time make the backing layer which accounts for most of the microneedle material recyclable, thereby reducing resource waste and environmental pollution.

[0018] The molar ratio of the hydrogen bond acceptor to the hydrogen bond donor B is 1:0.05-10;

[0021] (1) Preparation of backing layer 3D printing ink: hydrogen bond acceptor and hydrogen bond donor B in the raw materials for preparing the backing layer are mixed and heated to prepare polymerizable eutectic solvent B, and then the photoinitiator in the raw materials for preparing the backing layer is added and mixed to prepare the backing layer 3D printing ink;
[0022] (2) Configuration of needle layer 3D printing ink: hydrogen bond acceptor and hydrogen bond donor A in the raw materials for preparing the needle layer are mixed and heated to form a polymerizable eutectic solvent A, and then the photoinitiator and active ingredient in the raw materials for preparing the needle layer are added and mixed to prepare the needle layer 3D printing ink;

[0026] The method for recovering the removed backing layer is as follows: the backing layer removed from the skin is dissolved in ethanol at 50-70°C to obtain a recovery solution, and the recovery solution is then dried to obtain a precipitate, wherein the precipitate includes hydrogen bond acceptors and hydrogen bond donors B used as raw materials for preparing the backing layer, that is, the obtained precipitate can be used as a raw material for configuring the backing layer 3D printing ink in step (1).
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] The present invention provides a recyclable photocurable 3D printed soluble microneedle patch and a preparation method thereof. The soluble microneedle patch structure is mainly divided into a soluble needle body layer and a flexible and recyclable backing layer. The soluble needle body layer utilizes the strong hydrogen bonding inside the polymerizable eutectic solvent to provide hydrogen bonding cross-linking sites during photopolymerization, thereby forming a eutectic gel with a multiple hydrogen bonding cross-linking network. This eutectic gel cross-linked by multiple hydrogen bonding will be destroyed by the action of water, and the cross-linking sites will disappear, thereby becoming a linear polymer with good water solubility. Therefore, it has a rapid dissolution effect. The flexible and recyclable backing layer also utilizes the strong hydrogen bonding inside the polymerizable eutectic solvent to provide hydrogen bonding cross-linking sites during photopolymerization, forming a eutectic gel with a multiple hydrogen bonding cross-linking network. Unlike the eutectic gel of the needle body layer, the hydrogen bonding cross-linking of the eutectic gel of the backing layer is more easily destroyed by heated ethanol to form a linear polymer, thereby dissolving in ethanol. The recovered precipitate contains hydrogen bond acceptors and hydrogen bond donors of linear polymers and non-polymer monomers, so adding polymerizable eutectic solvents and initiators again can realize the cyclic 3D printing process again. The mechanical properties of the material are controllable. The preparation of soluble microneedle patches that are recyclable, adjustable, and DLP 3D printable is achieved.
[0029] The present invention discloses a soluble microneedle patch capable of recyclable photocurable 3D printing and a preparation method thereof. The microneedle patch is composed of a soluble needle body layer and a flexible recyclable backing layer. The needle body layer is a polymerizable eutectic solvent made of a specific composition, and forms a eutectic gel with a multiple hydrogen bond cross-linked network during photopolymerization, which can achieve rapid dissolution and effective drug delivery. The backing layer is a eutectic gel prepared using a similar principle, which can be dissolved, recovered and printed cyclically by ethanol. The present invention utilizes DLP 3D printing technology to achieve personalized manufacturing of soluble microneedle patches, while solving the problem that the traditional microneedle backing layer is non-recyclable, reducing resource waste and environmental pollution, and is suitable for multiple fields such as drug delivery, vaccination, and beauty and skin care.
