Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of functional materials, and relates to a preparation method and application of a compound traditional Chinese medicine drug-loaded hydrogel with a hierarchical porous structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern society, people's fast-paced life and unhealthy lifestyle can easily cause a series of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, etc. These diseases often require long-term treatment and management, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. For the treatment of such diseases, western medicine has a quick effect, but long-term use undoubtedly causes harm to the body. Traditional Chinese medicine has small toxic and side effects, and also has good health care and preventive effects. Among them, the compound preparation of traditional Chinese medicine can make multiple components of traditional Chinese medicine synergistically enhance the efficacy. Some studies have shown that there are interaction modes between active ingredients of some medicinal materials. For example, coptis and scutellaria are a pair of representative herbs traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal diseases. Berberine in coptis and baicalin can assemble into nanostructures in water, showing excellent antibacterial activity. There is various evidence that scutellaria extract has a good therapeutic effect on colonic inflammation, which has been confirmed in various models and clinical trials. Tannic acid is a natural polyphenol, which exists in many traditional Chinese medicines such as red wine, black tea, green tea and rhubarb, and has a protective effect on acute or chronic intestinal inflammation. However, traditional Chinese medicine decoction often has the disadvantages of complex decoction process and unsuitable for long-term preservation. Therefore, the combination of hydrogel and compound preparation of traditional Chinese medicine can make up for the shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine decoction to some extent.

[0003] Carboxymethyl chitosan is a water-soluble polysaccharide derivative obtained by chemical modification of chitosan. Compared with chitosan, it has better water solubility, ion exchange capacity and biological activity. The amino groups in its molecular structure provide active sites for Schiff base reaction, which can react with various compounds to form hydrogels. In addition, carboxymethyl chitosan has the advantages of biodegradability and biocompatibility, which makes it widely used in the field of biomedicine.

[0004] Compared with traditional hydrogels, porous structure hydrogels greatly improve the water absorption rate and water absorption ratio of hydrogels. The excellent performance of large pore structure, air permeability and short diffusion path enables it to have the ability of rapid transmission of liquid, gas and biomolecule fixation media. This is very advantageous for application occasions that require rapid material exchange, such as water treatment and biomedical applications.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new method to combine traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations with hydrogels and obtain a compound traditional Chinese medicine drug-loaded hydrogel material rich in hierarchical porous structure. SUMMARY

[0083] The porous structure material has the advantages of high specific surface area, strong permeability and adsorption in daily life and production. In order to verify the internal structure of the hydrogel sample, SEM and optical microscope tests are carried out.

[0084] Test Example:

[0085] Hydrogel micro-morphology

[0086] As Figure 1As shown in, (a), (b), (c), and (d) correspond to the microscopic SEM images of the hydrogels in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3, respectively. Figure 1 (a)-(d) show the scanning electron microscopy images of COT@BC@NaBH4 (Example 1), COT@NaBH4 (Comparative Example 2), COT@BC (Comparative Example 1), and COT (Comparative Example 3) hydrogel samples. COT is carboxymethyl chitosan / oxidized sodium alginate / tannic acid hydrogel, and BC is baicalin. All four hydrogels have a porous network structure. However, it can be observed that Figure 1 In (a) and (b), the number of pores in COT@BC@NaBH4 and COT@NaBH4 is significantly greater than that in COT@BC and COT, and they are denser and have smaller pore sizes. Therefore, it can be inferred that the treatment with NaBH4 will affect the porous structure of the hydrogel, making it have a denser pore structure. Figure 1 Comparison between (a) and (b), and (c) and (d) shows that the baicalin-loaded hydrogel exhibits a smaller internal pore structure, indicating that baicalin has been successfully dispersed in the hydrogel.

[0087] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1, (a), (b), (c), and (d) correspond to optical microscopic images of the hydrogels in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3, respectively. Comparison of the gel images under an optical microscope reveals that sodium borohydride treatment creates numerous large pores within the gel, forming a multi-level porous structure based on the inherent porous structure of the hydrogel.

[0088] Performance test of hydrogel adsorbent:

[0089] (1) In vitro drug release performance test of hydrogel

[0090] The hydrogels prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were placed in PBS solutions with pH values ​​of 3, 5, and 7, respectively. The PBS solutions were taken out at intervals to test their UV absorbance. A standard curve was established to calculate the drug release rate. The test results are shown in Table 1. Figure 3 .

[0091] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that the release rate and release ratio of the hydrogel prepared in Example 1 are higher than those of the hydrogel prepared in Comparative Example 1. Figure 3 It can be seen that the prepared hydrogel has pH-responsive properties, and the release rate under neutral conditions is higher than that under acidic conditions.

[0092] Figure 4 This is a comparison of the drug release rates of the hydrogels in Comparative Examples 2 and 3 in simulated body fluids with different pH values, indicating that the drug release rate of the hydrogel treated with sodium borohydride is significantly higher than that of the hydrogel not treated with sodium borohydride.

[0093] (2) Biotoxicity test of the hydrogel

[0094] The hydrogel extract was co-cultured with mouse fibroblasts (L929 cells) for 24 h, and the survival rate of the cells was tested by CKK-8 experiment. As shown in Table 2, the survival rate of the cells was the ratio of the experimental group to the blank sample: the compound traditional Chinese medicine drug-loaded hydrogel with multi-level pore structure described in the application had lower biotoxicity. The blank sample was a mouse fibroblast culture sample without the addition of the hydrogel extract. Figure 5

[0095] (3) Antimicrobial performance test of the hydrogel

[0096] LB liquid medium - 100 mL of distilled water was measured by a measuring cylinder and poured into a 250 mL reagent bottle, 2.5 g of LB broth medium was weighed by an analytical electronic balance and added for mixing, and then sterilized in a high-temperature and high-pressure steam sterilization pot at 121°C for 15 min, and then used after sterilization.

[0097] LB solid medium - 100 mL of distilled water was measured by a measuring cylinder and poured into a 250 mL reagent bottle, 2.5 g of LB broth medium and 1.5 g of agar powder were weighed by an analytical electronic balance and added for mixing, and then sterilized in a high-temperature and high-pressure steam sterilization pot at 121°C for 15 min. When the medium cooled to about 40-50°C, 15 mL of the medium was sucked into a disposable sterile flat dish by an electric pipettor.

[0098] Two 12 mL bacterial culture tubes were taken, 3 mL of LB liquid medium was added to each, a single colony was picked from the Staphylococcus aureus solid medium and added to the liquid medium, and the other was used as a blank control. Place in a constant temperature shaker (37°C, 200 rpm) and shake culture overnight (15 h).

[0099] The Staphylococcus aureus bacterial solution was diluted to 10 6 CFU / mL with sterile PBS solution, and then 100 μL of the solution was evenly coated on the LB solid medium. The sterilized samples (Example 1 and Comparative Example 1) were attached to the surface of the medium, and a sterile forceps was used to press gently to ensure that the sample was in full contact with the medium. The culture dish was placed in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C and cultured for 24 h. After the culture was completed, a normal camera was used to take a photo and measure the size of the inhibition zone, and the test results are shown in Table 2. Figure 6 , wherein (a), (b), (c), and (d) correspond to the inhibition ring photos of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3, respectively.

[0100] From the above test results, it can be seen that the compound traditional Chinese medicine drug-loaded hydrogel with multi-level pore structure described in the application has good antibacterial performance. Figure 6 ​It can be seen that the diameter of the bacteriostatic circle of Example 1 is obviously higher than that of Comparative Example 1, proving that it has a higher antibacterial effect.
