Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an injectable bone cement for drug controlled release based on the principle of microwave response, its preparation method and application, belonging to the technical fields of biomedical materials and tissue engineering. Background Art
[0002] Currently, traditional bone cements used for bone defect repair generally have deficiencies such as fast curing, intense exothermic reaction, unstable mechanical properties, low drug loading efficiency, and uncontrollable drug release. In recent years, stimulus-responsive materials have become a research hotspot. Although ultrasonic response systems have been attempted for drug controlled release, due to the problems of limited energy attenuation and penetration depth of ultrasound in tissues, the regulation effect is still not ideal. Near-infrared penetrates only a few millimeters to about 1 centimeter in tissues, unable to reach deep lesions; and it relies on the surface or local absorption of heat effects, with limited control accuracy and prone to local overheating. pH response depends on local tissue pH changes, is a passive response, has weak spatial specificity, is difficult to precisely regulate externally, and is only suitable for the slightly acidic environment of tumors. In contrast, microwaves have stronger penetrability and controllable response, can precisely adjust the frequency, power, and time through instruments to achieve precise controlled release. At the same time, the local temperature rise is controllable and the biological safety is good. By introducing suitable microwave-sensitive materials, it is expected to achieve local heating and drug release on demand, thereby overcoming the limitations of the prior art and achieving a more precise therapeutic effect. As a bone repair material, the curing time and exothermic reaction of magnesium-based bone cement are affected by the hydration reaction rate; bacterial infection is one of the complications of orthopedic implant surgery, which may lead to surgical failure. Therefore, the antibacterial performance of bone cement is crucial. The current research needs to focus on breakthrough directions: by regulating the reaction activity of the material to extend the setting time of the cement, inhibit the reaction temperature rise, optimize the mechanical properties, and simultaneously endow it with antibacterial function and bone regeneration induction ability, so as to improve the clinical application adaptability of this material in bone defect repair.

[0031] The application of the microwave-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement of the present invention in the preparation of bone repair materials.
[0032] In the solid-phase powder of the microwave-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement of the present invention, the dead-burned magnesia is formed by arc melting and fine grinding of light magnesia through optimized treatment. During this process, the arc treatment can reduce the hydration reaction activity of the bone cement, thereby reducing the heat release of the reaction. The use of an acidic retarder in the liquid phase solution can extend the curing time of the microwave-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement, also reduce the heat release of the hydration reaction, and even increase the compressive strength of the microwave-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement. Embedding the microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainer into the framework of the microwave-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement can achieve the effect of microwave-responsive drug-controlled release. The drug is released on demand, improving the drug-loading efficiency and drug-loading capacity, and greatly enhancing the drug utilization rate and treatment effect. The microwave-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement has good injectability and can be arbitrarily shaped during the operation without being affected by the bone defect structure and location, which is beneficial to the perfect fit between the surrounding bone tissue and the bone cement. The microwave-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement degrades to produce magnesium ions and promotes the release of osteoinductive drugs, and the two can play a synergistic role in promoting bone formation. As a biomedical material, the microwave-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement has good biocompatibility and bioactivity, has antibacterial properties, can promote bone integration, promote the growth of vascular endothelial cells, and can be an ideal candidate material for bone repair materials.
[0033] As an electromagnetic wave, microwaves are widely used in the controlled release and selective activation of drugs. With the thermal and non-thermal effects of microwaves, the structural stability of drug carriers can be regulated to achieve the controlled release of drugs. At the same time, microwave energy can induce a local temperature increase, promote the phase change of polymer materials or the structural change of nanocarriers, and release the encapsulated drugs, resulting in an increase in the drug release rate after irradiation. In addition, compared with stimulation methods such as ultrasonic irradiation, the microwaves used in the present invention have stronger tissue penetration ability and can act on deep tissues non-invasively to achieve the precise activation and local release of drugs, improving the treatment effect.
[0034] In the present invention, a polymer material with microwave response is coated on the surface of the drug-loaded nanocontainer. Once exposed to external microwave radiation, the polypyrrole / carbon nanotube composite can quickly absorb microwave energy and generate a local thermal effect, increasing the temperature of the surrounding environment, thereby inducing the phase change of the polymer or the change of the pore structure of the drug-loaded nanocontainer, and increasing the drug diffusion channels. In addition, the non-thermal effect of microwaves can affect the molecular configuration of polymer materials, making their hydrophilic-hydrophobic properties reversibly change and increasing the drug release rate. The precise regulation ability of microwave radiation enables the present invention to achieve drug release on demand, improving the targeting and effectiveness of treatment.
[0035] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following remarkable advantages:
[0036] (1) By introducing microwave-responsive polymers, the present invention realizes precise controlled release of drugs under microwave induction, overcoming the problem of difficult release regulation in traditional physical drug-doping methods.
[0037] (2) Utilizing the excellent microwave absorption performance of the polypyrrole / carbon nanotube composite, the bone cement can rapidly trigger drug release within the local temperature control range, and the temperature rise is controlled within a safe range to ensure the safety of surrounding tissues.
[0038] (3) The adjusted solid and liquid components endow the bone cement with good injectability, appropriate setting time, and excellent mechanical strength, while maintaining high biocompatibility and osteogenic effect.
[0039] (4) Compared with the ultrasonic response system, the microwave response technology has higher penetration ability and energy utilization efficiency, providing a new technical approach for clinical bone repair and local drug treatment.
[0040] (5) The CNT-PPy core-shell precursor of the present invention is prepared by in-situ oxidative polymerization method. After plasma gradient doping treatment and interfacial bridging with amino-silane coupling agent, it is prepared by freezing with liquid nitrogen to create pores. An acidic retarder is added to ultrapure water to form a liquid phase, which is mixed and stirred evenly with the solid-phase bone repair powder containing microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers, and then the bone cement is injection-molded. Drug release can be triggered under low-power microwave irradiation of 1 - 3W, and the cumulative release rates in 24 hours reach 45%, 68%, and 82% respectively.
[0041] (6) The CNT-PPy of the present invention adopts the "multi-level heterogeneous interface coupling" process to improve the microwave absorption efficiency, structural stability, and drug loading capacity. The temperature rise range of the bone cement is safe, the compressive strength is excellent, and the cell survival rate exceeds 92%. The deep tissue penetration ability of microwaves realizes more precise spatio-temporal control of drug release. The present invention takes into account both mechanical stability and precise drug release, and is applicable to bone defect repair and local drug treatment. Description of the Drawings

[0105] Comparative Example 1 does not use an acid retarder and does not add microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers
[0106] The preparation process is the same as that in Example 1, except that: do not use the sodium lignosulfonate solution, only take 50 parts of ultrapure water as the liquid-phase solution, and do not add microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers to the solid-phase powder to prepare HO-MPCs. 2 O-MPCs.
[0107] Comparative Example 2 uses hyaluronic acid to replace sodium lignosulfonate and does not add microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers
[0108] The preparation process was the same as that of Example 1, except that: 0.6 parts of hyaluronic acid and 50 parts of ultrapure water were taken as the liquid-phase solution, and the microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers were not added to the solid-phase powder, and HA-MPC was prepared.
[0109] In Comparative Example 3, the microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers were not added.
[0110] The preparation process was the same as that of Example 1, except that: the microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers were not added to the solid-phase powder, and SLS(6)-MPC was prepared.
[0111] In Comparative Example 4, the ultrasonic-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers were used to replace the microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers.
[0112] The preparation process was the same as that of Example 1, except that: the ultrasonic-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers were used to replace the microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers. The preparation method of the ultrasonic-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers referred to Example 1 in CN 117547643 A, and the drug selected was BMP-2.
[0113] Scanning electron microscopy tests were carried out on the bone cement samples obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 3, and the results were as Figure 1 shown. The surface of the sample of Example 1 (NPs-SLS-MPC) doped with sodium lignosulfonate and microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers was denser than that of Comparative Example 3 (SLS(6)-MPC), and the crack defects were significantly fewer than those of Comparative Example 1 (H 2 O-MPCs) group. Therefore, doping the microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers in the present application can improve the mechanical properties of the magnesium-based bone cement.
[0114] XRD tests were carried out on the bone cement samples obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 3, and the results were as Figure 2 shown. Figure 2 is the XRD pattern of the bone cement obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 3. Among them, H 2 O-MPCs is Comparative Example 1, SLS(6)-MPC is Comparative Example 3, and NPs-SLS-MPC is Example 1. It can be Figure 2 seen that the XRD spectra of the three bone cements all contain the absorption peaks of KMgPO 4 ·6H 2 O and MgO, indicating that the final hydration product of the bone cement is KMgPO 4 ·6H 2 O, and there is unreacted MgO, which is because slightly excessive MgO helps to improve the strength of the microwave-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement. The XRD test shows that the addition of sodium lignosulfonate does not affect the effective components of the hydration products of the bone cement.
[0115] The microwave-responsive drug-controlled release test was carried out on the bone cement samples obtained in Example 1. Three different power gradients (1W, 2W, 3W) were set. Each sample was placed in a 15 mL centrifuge tube, and 10 mL of pH 7.4 PBS buffer solution was added. A 2.45 GHz laboratory-grade microwave generator was used, and the output power was set to 1 - 3W. The irradiation time was 1 min / h, and the total duration was 24 h. 1 mL of the sample was taken at 4h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 20h, and 24h, and an equal volume of fresh PBS was replenished. The concentration of BMP-2 was quantitatively monitored by ELISA, and the cumulative release rate at each time point was calculated. The results are as Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 is the cumulative release rate graph of the bone cement drug obtained in Example 1. It can be seen from Figure 3 that for the microwave-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement samples doped with microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers in Example 1, under the action of a 2.45 GHz microwave generator at 1W / cm 2 , 2W / cm 2 and 3W / cm 2 , the cumulative release rates at 24 hours reached 45%, 68%, and 82% respectively, all of which could control the drug release rate. Moreover, as the microwave power increased, the cumulative drug release was more. The data showed that the drug release rate was positively correlated with the microwave power. The microwave-responsive drug-controlled release was successfully achieved.
[0116] The 2.45 GHz ultrasonic-responsive drug-controlled release test was carried out on the bone cement samples obtained in Comparative Example 4. The results are as Figure 4 shown, Figure 4 is the cumulative release rate graph of the bone cement drug obtained in Comparative Example 4. It can be seen from Figure 4 that for the ultrasonic-responsive drug-controlled release bone cement samples doped with ultrasonic-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers in Comparative Example 1, under the action of a 2.45 GHz microwave at 1W / cm 2 , 2W / cm 2 and 3W / cm 2 , the cumulative drug release rate was lower than that in Example 1.
[0117] The hydration reaction temperature and compressive strength tests were carried out on the bone cement samples obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 - 3. The hydration reaction temperature was measured by a temperature sensor, and the compressive strength was measured by an Instron + MTS universal testing machine. The results are as Figure 5 shown. Figure 5 is the curing temperature graph of the bone cement obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 - 3. Among them, H 2 O-MPCs is Comparative Example 1, HA-MPC is Comparative Example 2, SLS(6)-MPC is Comparative Example 3, and NPs-SLS-MPC is Example 1. It can be seen from Figure 5It can be seen that the maximum hydration reaction temperature of Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 is lower than that of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the retarder can reduce the intensity of the hydration reaction. The maximum hydration reaction temperature of Example 1 with the retarder and the microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainer is the lowest, at 35 °C, indicating that the addition of the microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainer can reduce the intensity of the hydration reaction, inhibit the heat release of hydration, and reduce the damage to human tissues.
[0118] Figure 6 Figure showing the compressive strength of the bone cements obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3, where H 2 O-MPCs is Comparative Example 1, HA-MPC is Comparative Example 2, SLS(6)-MPC is Comparative Example 3, and NPs-SLS-MPC is Example 1 Figure 6 It can be seen that the compressive strength of Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 with the retarder added is higher than that of Comparative Example 1. The compressive strength of the bone cement sample in Example 1 is the highest, reaching 48.726 MPa, indicating that adding a retarder to the liquid phase composition and doping the solid phase with microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers can significantly enhance the compressive strength of the bone cement.
[0119] Cell viability tests were performed on the bone cement samples obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 3, and the results are as Figure 7 shown. Figure 7 Figure showing the cell viability test of the bone cements obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 3, where NPs-SLS-MPC is Example 1, H 2 O-MPCs is Comparative Example 1, and SLS(6)-MPC is Comparative Example 3. Figure 7 It can be seen that the bone cements obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 3 all have good osteogenic growth activity, and as the culture time increases, the cell viability increases. The sample in Example 1 shows the best cell compatibility in vitro, with a cell survival rate exceeding 92%, which is beneficial to promoting cell proliferation. Therefore, the bone cement doped with microwave-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers in Example 1 has good proliferation ability and osteogenic effect on cells.
