Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of hydrogels, and more specifically to an enzyme / pH dual-responsive drug-releasing hydrogel and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The skin is an important physical barrier against external stimuli, but it is susceptible to severe damage, such as scalds and burns. When the skin is damaged, it is often accompanied by bacterial infection. Bacterial infection is the second leading cause of death worldwide and is usually treated with antibiotics. However, excessive use of antibiotics can lead to bacterial resistance and reduce the effectiveness of treatment. In recent years, the incorporation of drugs into drug delivery systems to form controllable drug delivery systems has received great attention. This strategy can improve the targeting and activity of antibiotics, reduce side effects, and can inhibit resistance mechanisms by maintaining high and sustained local drug concentrations.

[0003] Some clinical research reports indicate that due to the presence of enzymes and bacteria, the pH value of infected wounds is between 7 and 9, while normal skin is weakly acidic. Due to individual differences and the severity of infection, the pH value of the microenvironment will fluctuate within a certain range, and the binding instability between the drug and the carrier will continue to release the drug even under physiological conditions without bacterial attack. Therefore, a multi-stimulus responsive material can be designed as a drug carrier to construct an "on-demand" drug delivery platform so that the drug can only be released when multiple environmental conditions are met, such as a specific pH value, temperature or enzyme.

[0004] Lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer on Earth after cellulose. It has abundant functional groups such as carboxyl, phenolic hydroxyl, and thiol, and can be chemically modified to control the heterogeneity of the structure. Lignin nanoparticles have the characteristics of high drug loading efficiency, high bioavailability, low cytotoxicity, no hemolytic activity, and sustained drug release. Due to these remarkable properties, researchers have shown great interest in the preparation of lignin nanoparticles and their use in high value-added applications. Lignin nanoparticles as drug carriers and their applications are currently a widely studied area.

[0005] Hyaluronic acid is a negatively charged natural polysaccharide present in the extracellular matrix component of connective tissue. It is biodegradable, non-cytotoxic, has high water absorption and retention capacity, and has considerable activity in cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation. Many bacteria can produce hyaluronidase during their growth and reproduction, so hyaluronic acid can be used as a capping agent to target bacteria and respond to hyaluronidase in the bacterial microenvironment.
