Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of biological preparations, in particular to a method for preparing an ointment by mixing beta-cyclodextrin with an egg yolk antibody, which can improve the stability and biological activity of the egg yolk antibody in an ointment matrix. Background Art
[0002] Yolk antibody (Immunoglobulin Y, IgY) is a specific antibody extracted from the egg yolk of poultry (such as chicken). IgY is the most important antibody in the avian immune system. It has similar functions to mammalian IgG, but is unique in structure and biochemical properties. Different antigens, such as various inflammatory factors and inactivated viruses and bacteria, can be injected into the body of chickens to obtain antibodies with different functions. Due to its simple production, low cost and wide source, IgY has received widespread attention in the fields of animal immunity, medical diagnosis and biological products in recent years.
[0003] However, there are also certain challenges in the application of egg yolk antibodies. First, egg yolk antibodies have a certain degree of environmental sensitivity and are easily degraded under high temperature, acidic environment and enzymatic conditions, which limits their application in complex topical preparations; secondly, egg yolk antibodies are large molecules with poor solubility, and are prone to precipitation or aggregation in many preparations, affecting their stability and biological activity in the preparations. In addition, in topical preparations such as ointments, IgY is easily inactivated due to environmental changes (such as pH, humidity), resulting in a decrease in effect; or due to the uneven distribution of antibodies in topical preparations, the activity of IgY cannot be effectively exerted.
[0004] β-cyclodextrin, as a commonly used inclusion material, has the characteristics of a hollow molecular structure, and can include target molecules in its cavity, thereby improving the stability and solubility of the target molecules. β-cyclodextrin inclusion technology has been widely used in drug delivery and protection of active substances. For example, by including small molecule drugs in β-cyclodextrin, their solubility, stability and bioavailability can be improved. However, there has been no systematic study combining β-cyclodextrin inclusion technology with egg yolk antibodies to develop a stable preparation method suitable for topical ointments.
[0005] The present invention aims to solve the following technical problems existing in the prior art in the application of egg yolk antibodies in external ointments:
[0006] 1. The yolk antibody molecules are large and poorly soluble, and are prone to precipitation or aggregation.
[0007] Yolk antibody molecules are large and have poor solubility, and are prone to precipitation or aggregation in many preparations. This not only affects their stability in the preparations, but may also lead to reduced antibody activity, limiting their application effect in preparations.
[0008] 2. The stability of yolk antibodies in complex environments is insufficient
[0009] In the prior art, when preparing topical ointments, yolk antibodies (IgY) are easily affected by changes in the external environment (such as pH, temperature and humidity), resulting in a decrease in antibody activity or even complete inactivation, which cannot meet the needs of long-term storage and actual use of topical preparations.
[0010] 3. Uneven distribution of antibodies in ointment preparations
[0011] In the existing preparation methods of protein drug ointments, the distribution of antibodies is often difficult to control, resulting in uneven concentration distribution at the target site, affecting the treatment effect. Summary of the invention
[0012] In view of the existing technical problems, the present invention provides an ointment containing β-cyclodextrin-encapsulated egg yolk antibodies. The egg yolk antibodies are encapsulated in β-cyclodextrin and then combined with other ointment raw materials to form an ointment containing egg yolk antibodies. The activity of the egg yolk antibodies in the ointment can be maintained, the antibodies are evenly distributed in the ointment, and the concentration is evenly distributed at the target site, thereby promoting skin repair and care.
[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:
[0014] The present invention provides an ointment containing beta-cyclodextrin-encapsulated egg yolk antibody, which contains the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 2%-5% emulsifier, 1.8%-2.9% thickener, 5%-10% moisturizer, 0.03%-0.1% pH regulator, 7%-20% oil, 0.5%-0.9% preservative, 0.01%-0.5% metal ion chelating agent, 0.2%-1% beta-cyclodextrin-encapsulated egg yolk antibody, and the balance is made up of water.

[0016] The thickener is one or more of carbomer 980, xanthan gum, cetearyl alcohol or hydroxyethyl cellulose, preferably carbomer 980, and the preferred ratio is 2%-2.5%;
[0017] The moisturizing agent is selected from one or more of glycerol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, 1.2-pentanediol, 1.2-hexanediol, recombinant humanized type III collagen or sodium hyaluronate, preferably glycerol, preferably in a proportion of 6%-9%;
[0018] The pH regulator is selected from one of sodium hydroxide, arginine and triethanolamine, preferably in a ratio of 0.05% to 0.08%;
[0019] The oil is selected from shea butter, vaseline, white oil, silicone oil, oat kernel oil, vitamin E, any three or more of the combination, preferably in a ratio of 10%-20%;
[0020] The preservative is selected from one or a combination of two or more of methylparaben, sodium benzoate, and phenoxyethanol, preferably in a ratio of 0.5% to 0.6%;
[0021] The metal ion chelating agent is EDTA-2Na, preferably in a ratio of 0.05% to 0.3%;
[0022] The beta-cyclodextrin-encapsulated egg yolk antibody is prepared by the following steps:
[0023] 1. Immunogen
[0024] The immunogens are various inflammatory factors (IL31, TNF-α, IL-6, etc.), enzyme proteins (COX-1, SOD, etc.), pathogen-related proteins (viral surface proteins, bacterial toxins, etc.), inactivated or attenuated pathogenic microorganisms (such as inactivated HIV virus, attenuated measles virus, inactivated Salmonella, attenuated Mycobacterium leprae, etc.), immunogenic regions of natural proteins (such as antigenic epitopes of viral capsid proteins and antigenic epitopes of bacterial exotoxins, etc.), or polysaccharides and glycoproteins (such as pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides, Vibrio cholerae lipopolysaccharide (LPS), human glycoprotein antigens (such as hCG)) and other antigens.
[0025] 2. Immunization of laying hens
[0026] Select 120-day-old laying hens, which are ordinary laying hens, and fully mix the selected antigen with Freund's complete adjuvant in a volume ratio of 1:1 until the emulsion is stable. The laying hens are immunized and boosted by subcutaneous injection, with 0.1ml-1ml injected subcutaneously into the back or pectoral muscle of each hen. After the initial immunization, the chickens are given booster injections every 1 to 3 weeks, for a total of 2 booster injections. Starting from the 30th to 40th day after the initial immunization, eggs are collected every day and stored below 4°C.
[0027] 3. Isolation and purification of IgY
[0028] The collected eggs are disinfected with 75% alcohol, and the yolk and egg white are separated with an egg yolk separator under aseptic conditions. The egg yolk is taken for use, and the egg yolk is diluted with 5-10 times the volume of pure water of the egg yolk and stirred. The pH value is adjusted to 4.5-7.0 using 0.5M hydrochloric acid solution, and the mixture is left standing at 4°C for 4-12 hours. The mixture is centrifuged at 4°C and 12000g for 10 minutes, and the supernatant is collected, which contains the precipitate of crude egg yolk antibody. Saturated ammonium sulfate is added to the supernatant to make its saturation 50%, and the mixture is left standing at 4°C overnight. The mixture is centrifuged at 4°C and 12000g for 10 minutes, and the supernatant is discarded. The precipitate is resuspended and dissolved with 10% of the volume of egg yolk. The dissolved precipitate is dialyzed with PBS (the dialysate volume is 50 times the volume of the liquid in the dialysis bag) for more than 20 hours, and the dialysate is replaced once every 6-8 hours to obtain an egg yolk antibody solution. The titer of egg yolk antibody is detected using indirect ELISA.
[0029] 4. Inclusion of yolk antibodies
[0030] β-cyclodextrin, a hydrophilic wall material with a mass of 0.1 to 4 times that of the egg yolk antibody, is mixed with the egg yolk antibody, the inner diameter (A°) of the β-cyclodextrin molecular cavity is 6.0-6.5, the mixed solution is emulsified and sheared at a speed of 9000r / min at 35-40°C for 1.5-2h to obtain antibody colostrum, and then transferred to an ultra-high pressure emulsification homogenizer, homogenized 2-3 times at 200-420Mpa, each time for 3-5 minutes, after homogenization, the solution is freeze-dried to obtain β-cyclodextrin-encapsulated egg yolk antibody powder, and stored at -20°C for use;
[0031] The preferred weight proportion of the beta-cyclodextrin-embedded egg yolk antibody in the ointment is 0.2%-0.8%.
[0032] The ointment preparation method comprises the following steps:
[0033] 1. Preparation of oil phase: Add emulsifier, oil and oil-soluble thickener into a clean container in proportion, place the container in a water bath at 75℃-80℃ and heat, stirring while heating at a speed of 200-400rpm until completely dissolved to form a uniform oil phase liquid;
[0034] 2. Preparation of water phase: Add purified water to another container, add moisturizer and thickener in proportion, heat to 75℃-80℃, keep stirring at 200-400rpm until completely dissolved to form a uniform solution;
[0035] 3. Emulsification: at a constant temperature (80°C-85°C), slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase and homogenize with a homogenizer at a speed of 6000-10000rpm, preferably 6000-10000rpm, for about 5-10 minutes to fully emulsify the oil and water phases to form a uniform emulsion;
[0036] 4. Cooling and stabilization: After emulsification is completed, continue stirring until the temperature is below 45°C, add preservatives, and continue stirring evenly with a mixer at a speed of 200-400rpm / min, preferably 200-300rpm. When the temperature drops to about 40°C, add the egg yolk antibody encapsulated by β-cyclodextrin, continue stirring evenly at a constant speed, and add a pH adjuster as needed to adjust the pH value to between 4.5 and 6.5.
[0037] The ointment containing beta-cyclodextrin-encapsulated egg yolk antibody prepared by the invention can be used to relieve skin itching and dryness.
[0038] The present invention utilizes beta-cyclodextrin to include egg yolk antibodies, and successfully prepares an external ointment with good stability and antibody activity by optimizing the inclusion process and the combination process with the ointment matrix to meet the use requirements of the ointment.
[0039] Beneficial effects of technical solutions
[0040] 1. Improve the stability of yolk antibodies
[0041] Anti-environmental damage: Yolk antibodies are easily affected by external factors (such as temperature, humidity, light, etc.) during storage and use and lose their activity. The present invention utilizes the inclusion properties of β-cyclodextrin to encapsulate the yolk antibody at the molecular level to form a stable complex, effectively reducing its contact with the external environment, thereby significantly improving the stability and shelf life of the antibody.
[0042] Prevent protein degradation: The inclusion effect of β-cyclodextrin can reduce the exposure of key sites during protein degradation and further prolong the activity of yolk antibodies.
[0043] 2. Achieve sustained-release effect and enhance the efficacy of ointment
[0044] The complex formed by β-cyclodextrin inclusion has good sustained-release properties and can control the release rate of egg yolk antibodies.
[0045] When applied in an ointment, it can continuously release egg yolk antibodies, ensuring long-term maintenance of activity, reducing the frequency of use, and improving the effect of use and user compliance.
[0046] 3. Improve the performance and usage experience of ointment
[0047] Texture optimization: β-cyclodextrin and egg yolk antibody complex are mixed with the ointment base, which not only ensures uniform distribution of ingredients, but also gives the ointment better touch and ductility.
[0048] Enhanced absorbability: The ointment prepared by the present invention improves the skin penetration performance of the active ingredient through the carrier effect of β-cyclodextrin, making the egg yolk antibody more easily absorbed by the target site, improving the overall efficacy of the product, and improving the unpleasant odor of the product.

[0141] According to the method of Chapter VII.2 of the "Technical Specification for Safety of Cosmetics" (2015 edition), a human skin patch test was conducted to detect the potential possibility of the ointment of the present invention causing adverse reactions on human skin:
[0142] Materials and methods:
[0143] Test substance: the ointment of Example 3 of the present invention.
[0144] Negative control: blank control (no substance is placed).
[0145] Subjects: A total of 30 subjects, including 2 males and 28 females, aged 23 to 54 years old, with an average age of 37±10 years old, met the voluntary inclusion criteria.
[0146] Patch test method: A patch tester (purchased from Beijing Baiyi Yida Technology Development Co., Ltd.) was used. 0.025 g of the test substance was placed in the patch tester by closed patch test method. The test substance was applied to the forearm of the subject with low-sensitivity tape. The test substance was removed after 24 hours. The skin reaction was observed at 0.5, 24, and 48 hours after removal. The results were recorded according to the skin reaction grading standard of the "Safety Technical Specifications for Cosmetics" (2015 edition):
[0147] Table 1 Skin reaction grading standards for skin occlusive patch test
[0148]
[0149] Test results:
[0150] Table 2 Summary of cosmetic human skin patch test results
[0151]
[0152] The results of the human skin patch test showed that no adverse skin reactions occurred in 30 people. This proves that the ointment prepared by the present invention is safe for the skin. Since the raw materials for preparing the ointment in Comparative Example 1 are the same as those in Example 3 except that the egg yolk antibody is not included by β-cyclodextrin, the ointment prepared in Comparative Example 1 is also safe for the skin.
[0153] The skin sensitization of the ointments prepared in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example 2 was tested by the same method as above. The experimental results showed that no adverse skin reactions occurred in the subjects.
[0154] 2. Antibody activity test
[0155] 2.1 Temperature stability test:
[0156] The samples prepared on the same day in Example 3 and Comparative Example 1 were stored at 48° C. for 7 days, 14 days and 30 days, respectively. Samples were taken at each time point, and the relative activity of the yolk antibody in each group of samples was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
[0157] 2.2 Humidity stability test
[0158] The samples prepared on the same day in Example 3 and Comparative Example 1 were placed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at a temperature of 25°C and a humidity of 80%. The test was conducted for 7 days, 14 days and 30 days. Samples were taken at each time point and the relative activity in each group of samples was determined using ELISA.
[0159] 2.3 Light stability test
[0160] The samples prepared on the same day as Example 3 and Comparative Example 1 were exposed to ultraviolet light (UVA) to simulate 4 hours of direct sunlight per day and placed in a dark place for the rest of the time. The test was conducted for 7 and 14 days, and the relative activity of yolk antibodies in the light-exposed group and the completely dark-protected group was detected using ELISA.
[0161] Calculate the retention rate of antibody activity:
[0162] Activity retention rate = (activity after storage / initial activity) × 100%
[0163] Experimental results: see Table 3
[0164] Table 3 Antibody activity retention results
[0165]
[0166] The experimental results show that the activity retention rate of β-cyclodextrin-encapsulated egg yolk antibodies under high temperature, humidity and light conditions is significantly higher than that of unencapsulated antibodies. The increase in antibody activity retention after inclusion increases with storage time. β-cyclodextrin inclusion technology can effectively improve the stability of egg yolk antibodies, especially under extreme environmental conditions and during long-term storage, and can significantly reduce activity loss.
[0167] 3. Clinical efficacy trial
[0168] To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an ointment containing β-cyclodextrin-encapsulated egg yolk antibodies and compare it with an ointment without egg yolk antibodies or an ointment without added egg yolk antibodies, in order to verify the advantages of the encapsulated antibodies.
[0169] 60 subjects with confirmed eczema and stable condition, without serious infection or other chronic skin diseases, aged between 18 and 55 years old, who had not received other immunomodulatory treatments in the past month were randomly selected and divided into 3 groups, 20 people in each group. The first group used the ointment prepared in Example 3, the second group used the ointment prepared in Comparative Example 1, and the third group used the ointment prepared in Comparative Example 2.
[0170] Usage: The three groups used ointment prepared from the same batch, once in the morning and once in the evening. After cleaning the skin, evenly apply the designated product, with the edge of the application exceeding the edge of the eczema by 1 cm and the amount of application covering the eczema. Apply it continuously for 4 weeks, and follow up every week to record the changes.
[0171] Main evaluation indicators:
[0172] Improvement in eczema severity: using the EASI score (range 0-72, the lower the score, the milder the condition).
[0173] Scoring criteria:
[0174] 1. Assessment areas of EASI scoring
[0175] The body is divided into four regions, each occupying a different proportion of the total area:
[0176] Head / Neck: 10% (0.1)
[0177] Upper Limbs: 20% (0.2)
[0178] Trunk (including genitals): 30% (0.3)
[0179] Lower Limbs: 40% (0.4)
[0180] Skin lesion area score
[0181] 2. Scoring based on the percentage of eczema lesions covered:
[0182] 0 points: no skin lesions (0%)
[0183] 1 point: skin lesion coverage < 10%
[0184] 2 points: Lesions cover 10-29%
[0185] 3 points: Lesions cover 30-49%
[0186] 4 points: Lesions cover 50-69%
[0187] 5 points: skin lesions cover 70-89%
[0188] 6 points: 90-100% skin coverage
[0189] 3. In each area, rate the severity of the following 4 characteristics of the eczematous lesions:
[0190] Erythema: 0 (none) to 3 (severe)
[0191] Edema / Induration or Papulation: 0 (none) to 3 (severe)
[0192] Excoriation: 0 (none) to 3 (severe)
[0193] Lichenification: 0 (none) to 3 (severe)
[0194] Each score ranges from 0 to 3 and is summed to give an overall severity score for that area (0 to 12 points).
[0195] 4. EASI score calculation formula
[0196] The score for each region is calculated using the following formula:
[0197] EASI = ∑ region (area score × total severity score × region weight coefficient),
[0198] Right now:
[0199] EASI=(AH×SH×0.1)+(AU×SU×0.2)+(AT×ST×0.3)+(AL×SL×0.4)
[0200] in:
[0201] A is the skin lesion area score
[0202] S is the sum of the severity scores (erythema + infiltration / thickening + scratching / breakage + lichenification)
[0203] H, U, T, L represent head and neck, upper limbs, trunk and lower limbs respectively.
[0204] 6. Interpretation of EASI scores

[0253] Table 4 Clinical effect test results
[0254]
[0255] Experimental conclusion:
[0256] (1) Improvement in eczema severity (EASI score):
[0257] The EASI score of Example 3 decreased from 40±10 at baseline to 1±4 on day 28, with a significant improvement of about 97.5%. The improvement was fast, with the score halved on day 7, showing an excellent therapeutic effect;
[0258] The EASI score of Comparative Example 1 decreased from 42±12 at baseline to 15±7 on day 28, a decrease of 64.3%. Although there was a significant improvement, the degree and speed of the reduction were inferior to those of Example 3;
[0259] The EASI score of control group 2 was almost unchanged compared with the baseline score of 44±14, and was still 44±14 on day 28, showing no effective improvement.
[0260] (2) Itch score:
[0261] The pruritus score of Example 3 decreased from 6±1 at baseline to 0.5±0.5 on day 28, with a reduction of 91.7%. The rapid decrease in the pruritus score reflects the significant relief of pruritus by the use of the ointment;
[0262] The pruritus score of Comparative Example 1 decreased from 6.5±1.5 at the baseline to 2±1 on the 28th day, with a reduction of 69.2%, which was inferior to that of Example 3;
[0263] The pruritus score of control example 2 only decreased from 6±1 at baseline to 5±3 on day 28, and the change was not significant.
[0264] (3) Patient satisfaction:
[0265] The satisfaction rate of Example 3 on the 7th day was 4±0.5, and on the 28th day was 5±0, showing a trend of high satisfaction. The users had the highest recognition of the overall experience.
[0266] The satisfaction rate of comparative example 1 on the 7th day was 3±1, and on the 28th day it was 4±1, which was moderate and had some improvement, but the subjective feeling of the user was not optimal.
[0267] The satisfaction score of Example 2 remained at 2±0.5, with almost no change, reflecting dissatisfaction with the use.
[0268] The results showed that the EASI score of Example 3 decreased rapidly, the severity of eczema improved significantly, the itching score was almost completely relieved, the patient satisfaction reached the highest, and the incidence of adverse reactions was the lowest. It was significantly better than the other two groups. The severity of eczema and itching in Comparative Example 1 were improved, but the magnitude and speed were not as good as the first group, the satisfaction was low, and the incidence of adverse reactions was high. Comparative Example 2 had almost no effect, and there was no significant change in the severity of eczema and itching scores, and the patient satisfaction was low. Therefore, the beta-cyclodextrin inclusion yolk antibody product is significantly better than the non-inclusion yolk antibody in improving eczema symptoms, relieving itching and restoring skin barrier function, and has good safety and higher patient compliance.
[0269] The above experimental results prove that the use of β-cyclodextrin-encapsulated egg yolk antibodies improves the stability and biological activity of egg yolk antibodies in the ointment. The ointment made with β-cyclodextrin-encapsulated egg yolk antibodies has better temperature, humidity and light stability, the antibody is evenly distributed, and has a better use effect.
