Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drug carriers, and in particular to sustained-release drug-loaded particles and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Seabuckthorn seed oil is a natural plant oil rich in various bioactive ingredients. It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties, and has broad application prospects in medicine, cosmetics, and food supplements. However, the main active ingredients in seabuckthorn seed oil, such as polyphenols like quercetin, are easily degraded by external factors such as light, heat, and oxygen. Furthermore, their strong hydrophobicity leads to rapid metabolism in the body and low bioavailability, which severely limits their clinical application.

[0003] Traditional seabuckthorn seed oil formulations primarily utilize conventional emulsification and microencapsulation technologies for packaging and protection. However, these technologies often suffer from poor stability and inadequate release control. In practical applications, overly rapid drug release can lead to a rapid peak in blood concentration of the active ingredient followed by a rapid decline, reducing therapeutic efficacy and potentially causing local irritation and systemic side effects. On the other hand, overly slow release can result in insufficient active ingredient concentration, preventing the desired therapeutic effect. Therefore, developing seabuckthorn seed oil delivery systems with ideal sustained-release properties is a key and challenging area of current research.

[0004] In recent years, bio-based drug delivery materials have attracted widespread attention due to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Among them, natural polysaccharides such as cellulose derivatives and alginates have shown unique advantages in drug delivery systems. Microcrystalline cellulose, a commonly used pharmaceutical excipient, has good biocompatibility and chemical stability, but its micron-sized size and limited surface activity limit its application in fine drug delivery. Sodium alginate, due to its unique gel-forming ability and pH sensitivity, has become an ideal material for constructing controlled-release carriers. However, when used alone, it often suffers from disadvantages such as insufficient mechanical strength and low affinity for hydrophobic drugs.

[0005] Therefore, developing a biocompatible drug delivery system that can effectively encapsulate seabuckthorn seed oil, achieve controlled slow release, and have long-term storage stability is of great practical significance for improving the application value and clinical efficacy of seabuckthorn seed oil. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a sustained-release drug-loaded particle and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems of poor stability and insufficient release control of spinosad oil in traditional drug-loaded systems.

[0007] Based on the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for preparing sustained-release drug-loaded particles, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1: Add nanocellulose to N,N-dimethylformamide, ultrasonically disperse for 1.5-2.5 hours, then add sulfonyl chloride, heat to 55-65°C, stir and react for 10-14 hours, centrifuge, and wash to obtain chlorinated nanocellulose;

[0010] S3: Sodium alginate is added to deionized water, heated to 45-55°C, stirred for 25-35 minutes, cooled to 38-42°C, sea buckthorn seed oil and emulsifier are added, stirred at 11000-13000 rpm for 6-10 minutes, and then amino cross-linked nanofibers are added, stirred at 200-400 rpm for 25-35 minutes, and freeze-dried to obtain sustained-release drug-loaded particles.

[0011] Preferably, the preparation steps of the nanocellulose are as follows: adding microcrystalline cellulose to deionized water, then adding sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid dropwise, stirring at room temperature for 10-14 hours, then heating to 55-65°C, continuing stirring for 10-14 hours, then dialyzing, transferring to a centrifuge tube and centrifuging at 800-1200 rpm for 8-12 minutes, taking the supernatant, and vacuum drying to obtain nanocellulose.

[0012] Preferably, the average particle size of the microcrystalline cellulose is 60-70 μm.

[0013] Preferably, the weight ratio of the microcrystalline cellulose, deionized water, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid is 10:60-80:25-35:8-12.

[0014] Preferably, the molecular weight cut-off of the dialysis is 100-500.

[0015] Preferably, in step S1, the weight ratio of nanocellulose, N,N-dimethylformamide and sulfonyl chloride is 0.5-1.5:15-25:0.05-0.2.

[0016] Preferably, in step S2, the weight ratio of chlorinated nanocellulose, lauryl diamine, lauryl amine, N,N-dimethylformamide and deionized water is 0.5-1.5:0.08-0.25:0.03-0.1:15-25:15-45.

[0017] Preferably, in step S3, the weight ratio of sodium alginate, deionized water and amino-crosslinked nanofibers is 1.5-2.5:60-100:0.5-1.5.

[0018] Preferably, the amount of seabuckthorn seed oil added in step S3 is 18%-22% of the total weight of the sodium alginate and the amino-cross-linked nanofibers.

[0019] Preferably, the emulsifier in step S3 is Tween 80.

[0020] Preferably, the amount of the emulsifier added in step S3 is 8%-12% by weight of the sea buckthorn seed oil.

[0021] Preferably, the freeze-drying in step S3 is: pre-freezing at -50±5°C for 5-7 hours, and then vacuum drying at -30±5°C for 20-28 hours.

[0022] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a sustained-release drug-loaded particle obtained by the method for preparing the sustained-release drug-loaded particle.

[0023] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0024] This invention uses nanocellulose as a base material and undergoes specific chemical modification to create a drug delivery system with ideal sustained-release properties. This system exhibits a three-stage release pattern: initial slow release, a gradual increase in the middle phase, and a steady release in the late phase. This effectively maintains the effective concentration of the drug in the body, reduces dosing frequency, and improves patient compliance and therapeutic efficacy.

[0025] This invention achieves precise control of the carrier structure at the molecular level through the chlorination and amination cross-linking modification of nanocellulose. The nanoscale size imparts a larger specific surface area and greater reactivity, forming a more uniform and dense network structure, significantly improving the encapsulation efficiency and release control capabilities of drug molecules. This unique network structure effectively regulates the diffusion behavior of drug molecules, avoiding the burst release phenomenon common in traditional drug delivery systems.

[0026] This invention innovatively incorporates long-chain alkylamines (lauryldiamine and laurylamine) as modifiers. These long-chain alkyl groups not only provide a hydrophobic microenvironment, enhancing affinity for hydrophobic drugs like seabuckthorn seed oil, but also form a complex spatial structure, increasing the tortuosity of the drug molecule diffusion pathway, thereby enabling precise control of release kinetics. The synergistic effect of lauryldiamine and laurylamine forms a network with appropriate hydrophobicity and a porous structure, which controls initial release without excessively inhibiting later release, achieving an optimal balance throughout the release cycle. This balance is crucial for maintaining the drug's long-lasting therapeutic effects.

[0027] The drug-loaded particles prepared by this invention exhibit excellent long-term stability and maintain relatively stable release behavior even under accelerated test conditions, providing reliable protection for the long-term storage and transportation of the product. This stability is attributed to the composite network structure formed by the modified nanocellulose and sodium alginate, as well as the ionic or hydrogen bonding interactions between the amino groups introduced during the amination process and the sodium alginate.

[0028] In summary, the present invention successfully solves the key technical problems of sea buckthorn seed oil in traditional drug delivery systems, such as poor stability and insufficient release control, through precise chemical modification of nanocellulose and the synergistic effect of multiple components. It provides new ideas and methods for the development of efficient and stable sustained-release preparations of natural plant oils, and has broad application prospects and important practical value.

[0074] Table 1 In vitro sustained release performance test results

[0075]

[0076] Table 2 In vitro sustained release performance test results after accelerated test

[0077]

[0078] Data Analysis:

[0079] As can be seen from the data of Examples 1-3 in Table 1-2, the sustained-release drug-loaded particles prepared by the present invention have good sustained-release performance and long-term stability. By using nanocellulose as a cross-linking agent and performing chlorination and amination cross-linking modification, the resulting drug-loaded system exhibits ideal drug release control capabilities. The drug release curve shows the characteristics of slow release in the early stage, gradual increase in the middle stage, and stabilization in the later stage. This release pattern may be attributed to the multiple interactions between the modified nanocellulose and the drug. In addition, after the accelerated test, the drug-loaded system still maintains a relatively stable release behavior, indicating that the system has good long-term storage stability, which is of great significance for practical applications.

[0080] As can be seen from the data of Example 2 and Comparative Example 1 in Table 1-2, replacing microcrystalline cellulose with nanocellulose can significantly improve the drug release control ability of the sustained-release drug delivery system. The release rate of Example 2 at each time point is lower than that of Comparative Example 1, and the release behavior after the accelerated test changes less. This difference may be attributed to the fact that nanocellulose has a larger specific surface area and higher reactivity, which enables it to form a more uniform and stable modified structure in the chlorination and amination cross-linking reactions. In addition, the nanoscale size may help to form a denser network structure, thereby improving the encapsulation efficiency and release control ability of drug molecules.

[0081] From the data of Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 in Table 1-2, it can be seen that the amino cross-linked nanofibers can significantly improve the sustained-release performance of drug-loaded particles instead of ordinary nanocellulose. Comparative Example 2 released a large amount of drug in the early stage, and the release was almost complete after 24 hours, while Example 2 showed an ideal progressive release behavior. This difference may be due to the fact that the functional groups introduced during the amino cross-linking process changed the physicochemical properties of the cellulose surface, forming a three-dimensional network with a specific mesh size, which can effectively regulate the diffusion behavior of drug molecules. In addition, the amino groups introduced during the amino process form ionic or hydrogen bond interactions with sodium alginate, further enhancing the structural stability of the carrier. After the accelerated test, the early release rate of Comparative Example 2 increased significantly, while Example 2 remained basically stable, indicating that the amino cross-linked structure helps to resist changes in the external environment and maintain the long-term stability of the carrier.

[0082] As can be seen from the data of Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 in Table 1-2, lauryl diamine can significantly improve the drug release control ability of the sustained-release drug delivery system compared to ethylenediamine. The release rate of Example 2 at each time point was significantly lower than that of Comparative Example 3, and the release behavior after the accelerated test changed less. This difference may be attributed to the fact that lauryl diamine has a longer alkyl chain, which provides a stronger hydrophobic interaction and enhances the affinity between the modified nanocellulose and the hydrophobic drug molecules. The long alkyl chain may also form a more complex spatial structure, increasing the tortuosity of the drug molecule diffusion path, thereby slowing down the release rate. In addition, lauryl diamine may form a more uniform and stable cross-linked network with the nanocellulose surface, reducing the formation of local high release areas.

[0083] As can be seen from the data of Example 2 and Comparative Example 4 in Table 1-2, the combined use of lauryl diamine and lauryl amine has a significant effect on the drug release behavior of the sustained-release drug delivery system. Comparative Example 4 uses only lauryl diamine as a modifier, and its release rate is significantly lower than that of Example 2 throughout the test period, especially in the long-term release stage (72 hours), showing obvious insufficient release. This difference may be due to the fact that a single modifier cannot provide optimal surface properties and spatial structure. The synergistic effect of lauryl diamine and lauryl amine may form a network structure with appropriate hydrophobicity and voids, which can form a sufficiently strong interaction with the drug molecules to control the initial release without excessively inhibiting the later release. After the accelerated test, the release rate of Comparative Example 4 was significantly reduced, suggesting that excessive cross-linking may cause structural changes in the system during long-term storage, affecting the diffusion and release of drug molecules, while Example 2 maintained a relatively stable release behavior.
