AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing technology lacks new drug carriers that can effectively release drugs locally for the treatment of periodontitis, especially in complex anatomical structures such as periodontal pockets and root bifurcations, where dental plaque cannot be completely removed. In addition, the poor water solubility of sulforaphane leads to low bioavailability.

Method used

Sulforaphane-loaded zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles were combined with hydrogels to form SFN-loaded ZIF-8 composite hydrogels via Schiff base reaction. The high porosity and pH responsiveness of ZIF-8, combined with the sustained-release properties of carboxymethyl chitosan and oxidized hyaluronic acid, achieved controlled release of SFN.

Benefits of technology

It increases the local concentration of sulforaphane in periodontitis lesions, prolongs the drug's duration of action, and achieves anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects. At the same time, it can be injected to fill periodontal pockets, reduce trauma, and improve patient compliance.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of oral science technology and relates to a sulforaphane-loaded zeolite imidazole skeleton-8 composite hydrogel. The present invention also relates to a preparation method and application of the zeolite imidazole skeleton-8 composite hydrogel. Background Art

[0002] Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by dental plaque, which is mainly manifested by inflammation and destruction of periodontal tissues, leading to alveolar bone resorption and tooth mobility. Currently, the main strategy for the treatment of periodontitis is to remove the causative factors through mechanical debridement, such as periodontal cleaning and root planing. However, mechanical treatment methods cannot completely remove dental plaque in complex anatomical structures (periodontal pockets and root bifurcations). Local delivery of antibiotics, such as minocycline ointment and doxycycline gel, has become an auxiliary treatment method for reducing infection and inflammation in clinical practice, but excessive use of antibiotics may lead to drug resistance.

[0003] Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate, a sulfur-containing compound, extracted from cruciferous vegetables. Current research on SFN has revealed that it is a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, exhibiting significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, SFN's poor water solubility and low bioavailability limit its application in the treatment of periodontitis.

[0004] The high porosity and large surface area of ​​zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles make them suitable for loading drugs or biopolymers, preventing rapid degradation of the encapsulated materials and thus improving the bioavailability of the bioactive ingredients. Furthermore, ZIF-8 is pH-responsive, releasing zinc ions under acidic conditions, enhancing osteoinductive activity, promoting angiogenesis, and exerting antibacterial effects. However, SFN-loaded ZIF-8 drug delivery systems cannot be noninvasively delivered into deep periodontal pockets. Therefore, a new drug carrier capable of effective localized drug release is currently lacking in the treatment of periodontitis. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a SFN-loaded ZIF-8 composite hydrogel, which solves the problem in the prior art of lacking a new drug carrier capable of effectively locally releasing drugs in the treatment of periodontitis.

[0006] The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned SFN-loaded ZIF-8 composite hydrogel.

[0007] The third object of the present invention is to provide the use of the above-mentioned SFN-loaded ZIF-8 composite hydrogel in the preparation of drugs for treating periodontitis.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is a method for preparing a ZIF-8 composite hydrogel loaded with SFN, which specifically comprises the following steps: Step 1, preparing ZIF-8 nanoparticles; Step 2, preparing SFN-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles; Step 3: Prepare SFN-loaded ZIF-8 composite hydrogel.

[0009] The present invention is also characterized in that: Step 1 specifically includes the following steps: Step 1.1, preparing anhydrous zinc acetate methanol solution; Step 1.2, prepare 2-methylimidazole methanol solution; Step 1.3, add 2-methylimidazole methanol solution to anhydrous zinc acetate methanol solution, stir for 30-60 minutes to obtain a milky white suspension, let it stand for 12-24 hours, and then centrifuge at a centrifuge speed of 8000-10000 rpm for 7-10 minutes to obtain a white precipitate, wash the white precipitate with anhydrous methanol 3-5 times, and then dry the precipitate at 60°C to obtain ZIF-8 nanoparticles.

[0010] In step 1.1, 50-70 mg of anhydrous zinc acetate was weighed and dissolved in 10-20 ml of anhydrous methanol to obtain an anhydrous zinc acetate methanol solution; In step 1.2, 500-700 mg of 2-methylimidazole was weighed and dissolved in 10-20 ml of anhydrous methanol to obtain a 2-methylimidazole methanol solution.

[0011] Step 2 specifically includes the following steps: Step 2.1, preparing SFN methanol solution; Step 2.2, add ZIF-8 to the SFN methanol solution, stir and shake in the dark, so that the SFN molecules are adsorbed in the ZIF-8 pores, and centrifuge the obtained solution at a speed of 8000~10000rpm for 7~10min to obtain a white precipitate. Wash the white precipitate with anhydrous methanol 3~5 times, and then dry the precipitate at 60°C to obtain drug-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles.

[0012] In step 2.1, at 25-28°C, add 6-10 mg of SFN to 3-5 ml of anhydrous methanol and mix well to obtain a SFN methanol solution. In step 2.2, weigh 50-70 mg of ZIF-8.

[0013] Step 3 specifically includes the following steps: Step 3.1, preparing an oxidized hyaluronic acid solution; Step 3.2, preparing carboxymethyl chitosan solution; In step 3.3, the SFN-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles are added to the carboxymethyl chitosan solution, and then mixed evenly with an equal volume of oxidized hyaluronic acid solution to obtain a composite hydrogel of the SFN-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles.

[0014] In step 3.1, the mass concentration of the oxidized hyaluronic acid solution is 4% to 5%; in step 3.2, the mass concentration of the carboxymethyl chitosan solution is 2% to 3%; in step 3.3, the concentration of the drug-loaded nanoparticles in the carboxymethyl chitosan solution is 0.5 to 2 mg / mL.

[0015] The second technical solution adopted by the present invention is that the SFN-loaded ZIF-8 composite hydrogel is obtained by adopting the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0016] The third technical solution adopted by the present invention is the use of SFN-loaded ZIF-8 composite hydrogel and the use of SFN-loaded ZIF-8 composite hydrogel in the preparation of drugs for treating periodontitis.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The present invention uses SFN as a drug and ZIF-8 nanoparticles that promote osteogenesis and have antibacterial effects as a carrier to synthesize SFN-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles. By combining the SFN-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles with hydrogels, the local concentration of SFN in the periodontitis lesion site can be effectively increased, thereby improving the bioavailability of SFN.

[0018] (2) In the present invention, the amino group of carboxymethyl chitosan and the aldehyde group of oxidized hyaluronic acid react with the Schiff base to form an imine bond. At the same time, ZIF-8 has pH response. The combined use of the two makes the composite hydrogel have good sustained-release properties, achieving controllable and precise release of SFN and zinc ions, which is suitable for the acidic periodontitis environment, achieving controlled release of drugs, and can prolong the action time of SFN, exerting multiple functions of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and periodontal bone repair.

[0019] (3) The hydrogel in the present invention is injectable and can deliver drug-loaded nanoparticles deep into the periodontal pocket to fill the bone defects caused by periodontitis, resulting in only minimal wounds and improving patient compliance. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
