Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of drugs for postoperative adhesions, and particularly to an amphoteric ion nanogel, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in the preparation of drugs for treating postoperative adhesions and secondary adhesions. Background Art

[0002] Abdominal adhesion (PA) is a common and serious complication after abdominal and pelvic surgeries. To reduce or prevent abdominal adhesions, a series of methods including surgery, drugs, and barrier materials have been adopted. Traditional enterolysis for adhesions can cause new traumas due to primary or secondary adhesions, and the chance of re-adhesion is still very high even after adhesions are released. The complexity of surgery and some uncontrollable factors make the development of drugs and barrier materials crucial. However, the efficacy of drugs acting on adhesion-related factors is still limited and has serious side effects. Therefore, as a new type of highly biocompatible physical barrier, the effect of hydrogels in treating postoperative adhesions has attracted much attention. But there are still many factors that greatly reduce the therapeutic effect of hydrogels on adhesions. Moreover, most hydrogels need careful hemostasis and effective suturing to be fixed on the surface of injured tissues to play an anti-adhesion role. If the postoperative wound is infected, the residence time of the hydrogel on the wound will be shortened again, resulting in the recurrence of postoperative adhesions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prepare an amphoteric ion nanogel with good anti-adhesion performance, improved biological activity, and effective prevention of abdominal adhesions and secondary adhesions, to meet the market demand. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an amphoteric ion nanogel, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in the preparation of drugs for treating postoperative adhesions and secondary adhesions.

[0004] The preparation method of an amphoteric ion nanogel provided by the present invention is simple in synthesis. The nanogel prepared by this method has excellent biological activity and mechanical properties, and has excellent anti-adhesion ability. It can be used as an effective material for physical barrier to achieve postoperative adhesions and secondary adhesions. The present invention solves its technical problems by adopting the following technical solutions. The present invention proposes a preparation method of an amphoteric ion nanogel, which includes: first, dissolve nanosilicates (laponites) in water to prepare solution A, and dissolve amphoteric ion 3-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl](dimethyl)ammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (SBMA, 98%) in solution A to obtain a mixed solution B; ultrasonic degas the solution B, and add a crosslinking agent, an initiator, and a catalyst to obtain a clear and transparent mixed liquid; irradiate the mixed liquid under the condition of 365 nm ultraviolet light to obtain an amphoteric ion nanogel.

[0005] A preparation method of an amphoteric ion nanogel includes the following steps:

[0006] S1. First, dissolve nano-silicate (laponites) in water to prepare solution A;

[0007] S2. Dissolve zwitterionic ions in solution A to obtain a mixed solution B;

[0008] S3. Remove air bubbles from solution B by ultrasonic treatment, and add a crosslinking agent, an initiator, and a catalyst to obtain a clear and transparent mixed liquid;

[0009] S4. Irradiate the mixed liquid under 365 nm ultraviolet light to obtain zwitterionic nano-gel.

[0010] In step S1, the mass concentration of nano-silicate (laponites) in solution A is 0.5% - 2%.

[0011] In step S2, the zwitterionic ions are 3-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl](dimethyl)ammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (SBMA), 3-[[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethylammonio]propionate (CBMA), and the concentration is 2 - 4 M.

[0012] In step S3, the crosslinking agent is ethylene glycol dimethacrylate;

[0013] The initiator is 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]-1-propanone;

[0014] The catalyst is N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine.

[0015] The concentration of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate is 0.5 - 5% (based on the amount of monomer SBMA);

[0016] The concentration of nano-silicate (lap) is 0.5 - 2%.

[0017] The concentration of the crosslinking agent is 0.5 - 5% (based on the amount of monomer SBMA); the concentration of the initiator is 0.5 - 1% (based on the amount of monomer SBMA); the catalyst is 0.5 - 1 μ / mL (volume ratio of the solvent water).

[0018] Due to the nano-silicate presenting a nano-disk structure, its surface shows a positive charge and its side shows a negative charge, endowing it with good electrostatic repulsion. The hydrophilic SBMA is an amphoteric ion with positive and negative charges in its structure, resulting in the ability to react with laponite through electrostatic interaction. Based on this, the gelation mechanism of the entire nano-gel is interpreted as follows: In the system of the entire hydrogel preparation process, due to the presence of the initiator, the crosslinking agent (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) is activated to break its carbon-carbon double bond. Under ultraviolet conditions, it undergoes chemical crosslinking with the internal carbon-carbon double bond of SBMA to form the first network of the hydrogel. At the same time, laponite and SBMA are crosslinked through electrostatic interaction to synthesize the second network of the hydrogel. The catalyst does not participate in the reaction but accelerates the reaction rate between the key groups. The nano-gel prepared by this mechanism has more excellent protein adsorption resistance compared with other conventional physical gels, minimizing the foreign body reaction and being able to provide the rigidity required for gel-like drugs to adapt to postoperative adhesions. In addition, the addition of laponite results in the nano-gel showing enhanced biological activity.

[0019] In step S4, the ultraviolet irradiation time is 30 min - 1 h.

[0020] The application of the amphoteric ion nano-gel in the treatment of postoperative adhesions and secondary adhesions. The application of the amphoteric ion nano-gel in the preparation of drugs for treating postoperative adhesions and secondary adhesions, such as drugs for treating peritoneal adhesions.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0022] The beneficial effect of the preparation method of a novel amphoteric ion nano-gel according to the embodiment of the present invention is that: The amphoteric ion nano-gel constructed by the present invention combines the nano-silicate laponites with anisotropic charges and the amphoteric ion SBMA. The unique charge structure of laponites helps to enhance the mechanical properties of the hydrogel, enabling it to adapt to the dynamic environment in the body and preventing the direct contact between the damaged part of the cecum and the abdominal wall tissue; at the same time, SBMA endows the hydrogel with excellent biocompatibility and the ability of non-specific protein adsorption resistance (nonfouling property). Secondly, compared with the commercial hydrogels on the market, such as those with unsatisfactory application processes, poor mechanical properties, unstable nonfouling properties or easy to induce immune reactions, etc. The present invention patent has better performance in preventing peritoneal adhesions and secondary adhesions and has great potential in the clinical treatment of peritoneal adhesions.

By evaluating the mechanical properties of different examples, it is found that the higher the concentration of nano-silicate, the stronger the mechanical properties of the examples it represents.

[0076] Schematic diagram of the gelation mechanism of the nanogel prepared in Example 1 of the present invention. Specifically, due to the presence of the initiator, the crosslinking agent (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) is activated to break its carbon-carbon double bond. Under ultraviolet conditions, it undergoes chemical crosslinking with the internal carbon-carbon double bond of SBMA to form the first network of the hydrogel. At the same time, lap and SBMA are crosslinked through electrostatic interaction to synthesize the second network of the hydrogel. The catalyst does not participate in the reaction but accelerates the reaction rate between the key groups. Compared with other conventional physical gels, the nanogel prepared by this mechanism has more excellent protein adsorption resistance, minimizes the foreign body reaction, and can provide the rigidity of the gel-like drug required to adapt to postoperative adhesions. In addition, the addition of lap results in the nanogel showing enhanced biological activity.

[0077] Application Example 1

[0078] The present invention aims to prepare an amphoteric ion nanogel that not only has good anti-adhesion performance, improves biological activity, but also has excellent mechanical properties and can effectively prevent abdominal adhesions and secondary adhesions to meet clinical needs. Therefore, we believe that the prepared amphoteric ion nanogel has excellent anti-adhesion characteristics and can be used for the prevention of postoperative adhesions. Therefore, we established a stable rat abdominal wall and cecal defect model and applied the amphoteric ion nanogel prepared in Example 1 thereto. The commercial gel HA was used as a positive control, and the ability of the prepared material to treat postoperative adhesions was evaluated by assessing its healing ability in vivo at 7 days and 14 days. The results are as Figure 10 shown. The amphoteric ion nanogel prepared by us can perfectly treat postoperative adhesions at 7 days and 14 days after surgery. There is a significant variance compared with the model group and the positive HA group. This indicates that Example 1 of this project has better postoperative anti-adhesion ability. The anti-adhesion ability between different groups was evaluated by quantitatively scoring the adhesions of the tissues. The results are as Figure 11 shown. The results of Example 1 are lower than those of other groups and there is a significant variance compared with the model group and the HA group. This indicates that Example 1 of this project has significant anti-adhesion ability. The above results show that the amphoteric ion nanogel prepared by this invention patent can more effectively prevent postoperative adhesions.

[0079] Application Example 2

[0080] Blunt dissection is a commonly used method for treating adhesions clinically. However, this may cause secondary tissue damage, thus promoting the formation of more severe adhesions, which are more complex and difficult to treat than primary adhesions. For this reason, we established a recurrent adhesion model to evaluate the potential of the amphoteric ion nanogel for secondary adhesions. The results are as Figure 12 shown. Taking the re-injury as the initial day 0, the drug was given after the re-injury. The results are as Figure 13As shown, the final treatment outcome of Example 1 is better than that of the model group and the positive drug HA group. The nanogel treated in Example 1 has a better therapeutic effect on postoperative secondary adhesions. The above results show that the zwitterionic nanogel prepared by this invention patent can more effectively prevent secondary postoperative adhesions.
