[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0026] A drug release system for delaying a water-soluble drug in a hydrogel, comprising a hydrogel body 1, wherein the hydrogel body 1 contains EGCG, silver ions and NSAIDs;

[0027] The concentration range of EGCG is 2-3%, and the dosage is 0.2-0.3 grams per 10 milliliters. The concentration range of silver ions is 0.01-0.05%, and the dosage is 0.001-0.005 grams per 10 milliliters. The concentration range of NSAIDs is 0.05-0.1%, and the dosage is 0.005-0.0.01 grams per 10 milliliters.

[0028] In this embodiment, EGCG, silver ions and NSAIDs are released sequentially according to concentration, molecular size, cross-linking and hydrophilicity.

[0029] By utilizing the differences in molecular size and water solubility, EGCG is released quickly, silver ions are released in the medium term, and NSAIDs are released slowly at the later stage, thus achieving phased controlled release.

[0030] Each ingredient works at a different stage, which can significantly reduce the frequency of administration and improve the convenience of oral ulcer wound care.

[0031] EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is released early, at a relatively high concentration, and is released quickly;

[0032] Release characteristics: EGCG has good water solubility and is quickly released in the hydrogel system. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties can take effect in the initial stage. At the same time, it cross-links with the oral mucosa to help form a stable hydrogel structure. The ingredients are milder than NSAIDs and are natural extracts.

[0033] Function: The cross-linking effect of EGCG can fix the hydrogel structure, reduce the premature release of other drugs or the destruction of the hydrogel by saliva and tongue movement, and improve the durability and stability of the drug.

[0034] Silver ions (Ag+) are released in the medium term, at a lower concentration and gradually;

[0035] Release characteristics: The concentration of silver ions is low, so the release in the hydrogel is slow and continuous. In a humid environment, as the hydrogel absorbs water and swells, Ag+ is gradually released, providing effective antibacterial effects.

[0036] Function: Through antibacterial function, silver ions can reduce bacteria in the oral cavity, prevent infection, ensure the drug stability of the hydrogel, and make subsequent drug release more effective.

[0037] NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are released slowly in the late stage, have large molecular weight and low water solubility;

[0038] Release characteristics: The low water solubility and large molecular weight of NSAIDs make their release rate slow. The use of special preparations (such as nanoparticles) or salt forms can further delay the release time, allowing NSAIDs to be slowly and continuously released in the later stage of the hydrogel, providing long-lasting anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

[0039] In this embodiment, EGCG has a high concentration and good water solubility and is first released quickly, and the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of EGCG take effect in the initial stage.

[0040] High concentrations of EGCG are released first, providing early antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection and stabilizing the hydrogel structure; silver ions are gradually released at lower concentrations to form a continuous sterile environment.

[0041] In this embodiment, EGCG cross-links with the oral mucosa to form a stable hydrogel structure.

[0042] The stability of the hydrogel is enhanced by the cross-linking of EGCG with the oral mucosa, while the release rate of NSAIDs is regulated by nanoparticle encapsulation or salt form.

[0043] The early cross-linking of EGCG stabilizes the hydrogel, the silver ions provide mid-term antimicrobial protection, and the NSAIDs are released in the late stage, which overall prolongs the duration of drug action.

[0044] In this embodiment, the concentration of silver ions is low and the release in the hydrogel is slow and continuous. The silver ions are gradually released as the hydrogel absorbs water and swells in a humid environment.

[0045] In this embodiment, NSAIDs include diclofenac and ibuprofen.

[0046] In this embodiment, the hydrogel body 1 is a double-layer structure, with an inner layer made of gelatin and an outer layer made of polytetrafluoroethylene material.

[0047] In this embodiment, EGCG, silver ions and NSAIDs are gradually dissolved in sequence, EGCG is an early anti-inflammatory, silver ions are a mid-term antibacterial, and NSAIDs are a late analgesic.

[0048] The gradual action mechanism of early anti-inflammatory, mid-term antibacterial and late analgesia makes the therapeutic effect of oral medications more significant and improves the stability and durability of the drugs.

[0049] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0050] When working, high concentration of EGCG is released first to provide early antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection and stabilize the hydrogel structure. Silver ions are gradually released at lower concentrations to form a continuous sterile environment. The stability of the hydrogel is enhanced through the cross-linking effect of EGCG and oral mucosa. Utilizing the differences in molecular size and water solubility, silver ions are released in the middle term and NSAIDs are slowly released in the later stage, achieving staged controlled release.
