TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biological medicine, in particular to a total extract liposome gel of honeysuckle and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Honeysuckle has been praised as a good medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying since ancient times. It is sweet and cold in nature, can disperse wind-heat and clear heat and detoxify, and can be used for the treatment of various heat diseases. Honeysuckle has rich pharmacological activities, and a large number of studies have shown that honeysuckle has significant effects on anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and immune regulation. However, the total extract of honeysuckle has poor water solubility, and its saturated solubility in water is about 3 mg / mL. Due to the low solubility of the total extract of honeysuckle, its drug property is poor, the transdermal absorption is poor, and the bioavailability is also low. Therefore, it is urgent to seek a suitable drug carrier to improve the transdermal absorption of the total extract of honeysuckle and thereby improve its bioavailability. SUMMARY
[0003] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a total extract liposome gel of honeysuckle and a preparation method and application thereof. The total extract liposome gel of honeysuckle provided by the present application has good transdermal absorption and bioavailability, and can effectively promote the healing of burn wounds.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the application, the present application provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] The present application provides a total extract liposome gel of honeysuckle, which comprises a gel and total extract liposomes of honeysuckle distributed in the gel; the total extract liposomes of honeysuckle are prepared by a microfluidic method;
[0006] The total extract liposome gel of honeysuckle comprises the following preparation raw and auxiliary materials in mass percentage:
[0007]
[0008] Preferably, the phospholipid is one or more of soybean phospholipid, lecithin, hydrogenated soybean lecithin, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine, and distearoyl phosphatidylcholine;
[0009] The stabilizer is one or more of polyoxyethylene 40 hydrogenated castor oil, vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate, and Tween 80;
[0010] The humectant is one or more of propylene glycol, glycerol, and hyaluronic acid;

[0012] The pH regulator is one or more of triethanolamine, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
[0013] Preferably, the gel matrix comprises one or more of methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, carbomer, alginate, tragacanth gum and gelatin.
[0014] Preferably, the pH value of the honeysuckle total extract liposome gel is 5.0-6.0.
[0015] Preferably, the particle size of the honeysuckle total extract liposome is 100 to 160 nm.
[0016] The present invention provides a method for preparing the honeysuckle total extract liposome gel, comprising the following steps:
[0017] dissolving the total honeysuckle extract in an organic solvent to obtain an organic solution of the total honeysuckle extract;
[0018] mixing cholesterol, phospholipid, stabilizer and alcohol solvent to obtain an alcohol solution;
[0019] mixing the organic solution of the total honeysuckle extract with the alcohol solution to obtain an organic phase;
[0020] Using pure water as the aqueous phase, the organic phase and the aqueous phase are injected into different inlets of a microfluidic device, and the effluent is dialyzed to obtain the honeysuckle total extract liposomes;
[0021] The honeysuckle total extract liposome, gel matrix, water, moisturizing agent, antibacterial agent and pH value regulator are mixed to obtain the honeysuckle total extract liposome gel.

[0024] Preferably, the dialysis time is 4 to 48 hours.
[0025] The invention discloses an application of the honeysuckle total extract liposome gel in preparing a burn and scald wound dressing.
[0026] The present invention provides a total honeysuckle extract liposome gel, comprising a gel and total honeysuckle extract liposomes distributed in the gel; the total honeysuckle extract liposomes are prepared using a microfluidics method; the total honeysuckle extract liposome gel comprises the following raw materials and auxiliary materials in percentage by weight: 0.04-0.5% total honeysuckle extract; 0.01-0.5% phospholipids; 0.01-0.5% cholesterol; 0.01-0.04% stabilizer; 0.5-3% gel matrix; 2-6% moisturizer; 0.1-0.5% antibacterial agent; 1-6% pH adjuster; and the balance is water. The lipid system refers to microvesicles formed by encapsulating a drug within a lipid bilayer.

Gel is a transparent or translucent semisolid preparation with a three-dimensional network structure. Liposomes are dispersed in a polymer gel matrix to form a new type of gel. The present invention prepares the total extract of honeysuckle into a liposome gel, which not only retains the advantages of the lipid system and the gel, but also forms a multi-reservoir system. The adhesion performance of the gel effectively increases the retention time of the total extract of honeysuckle on the skin surface, improves its transdermal absorbability, exerts a long-lasting sustained-release effect, reduces adverse drug reactions, and reduces the number of medications. Compared with the commercially available sulfadiazine silver cream, the total extract liposome gel of honeysuckle provided by the present invention is more effective in treating burns and scalds and promoting wound healing. It has the characteristics of high safety, economical price, significant efficacy, etc., and shows unique advantages in the treatment of burns and scalds.
[0027] The present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned honeysuckle total extract liposome gel. Due to the complex components in the honeysuckle total extract, it has poor solubility in many solvents, making it difficult to prepare liposomes. In addition, the preparation process of liposomes using traditional methods (such as ethanol injection method, thin film dispersion method, ultrasonic dispersion method, reverse evaporation method) is relatively cumbersome and the liposomes produced are large in particle size and uneven in particle size distribution. Large particle size also reduces the transdermal absorption rate of drugs. The present invention uses microfluidic technology to precisely control the fluid flow rate and flow rate, so that the liquid components introduced at different times can be fully mixed and highly uniform and orderly. The prepared liposomes have a small and uniform particle size, high batch reproducibility, and high drug loading. The preparation method of the honeysuckle total extract liposome gel of the present invention is simple, the quality is controllable, and it has good application and development prospects. The honeysuckle total extract liposome gel provided by the present invention can increase the retention time of the honeysuckle total extract on the skin surface and improve the transdermal permeability of the honeysuckle total extract, providing an experimental basis for the treatment of local skin infections with the honeysuckle total extract.

In the present invention, the pH adjuster is one or more of triethanolamine, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide, more preferably triethanolamine. In the present invention, the pH value of the honeysuckle total extract liposome gel is preferably 5.0-6.0.
[0058] In the present invention, when the mass percentage of phospholipids in the honeysuckle total extract liposome gel is 0.05% and the mass percentage of cholesterol is 0.05%, the particle size is appropriate, the PDI is minimum, the liposome particle size is more uniform, and the dispersibility is better.

[0079] Example 1
[0080] Screening of phospholipid-cholesterol mass ratio of liposomes containing total honeysuckle extract
[0081] Measure 1 mL of a 40 mg / mL dimethyl sulfoxide solution of honeysuckle total extract, 4 mL of an ethanol mixed solution of cholesterol and soybean lecithin with a total concentration of 20 mg / mL (wherein the mass ratio of phospholipids to cholesterol is 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1, respectively), and 200 μL of an ethanol solution of 20 mg / mL polyoxyethylene 40 hydrogenated castor oil are mixed as the organic phase, and purified water is used as the aqueous phase; the organic phase and the aqueous phase are placed in syringes respectively, placed in a microfluidic device, and then connected to a microfluidic chip (length 3 mm, diameter 200 μm), and the organic phase flow rate and the aqueous phase flow rate are set to 3 mL / min and 9 mL / min, and the two phases are slowly injected into the microfluidic chip through the inlet channel, and the resulting liquid is placed in a dialysis bag and dialyzed for 24 hours to remove the organic solvent, thereby preparing honeysuckle total extract liposomes with different phospholipid-cholesterol mass ratios.
[0082] Figure 1 These are the results of screening the phospholipid-cholesterol mass ratio of honeysuckle total extract liposomes. The results show that when the phospholipid-cholesterol mass ratio is 1:1, the liposome particle size is about 140nm and the PDI is less than 0.2. The liposomes prepared with other ratios have appropriate particle sizes, but the PDI is greater than 0.4. Excessively large PDI indicates that the liposome particle size distribution is too wide and the particle size uniformity is poor, so 1:1 is selected as the optimal phospholipid-cholesterol mass ratio.
[0083] Example 2
[0084] Screening of drug-to-lipid ratio of liposomes containing total honeysuckle extract
[0085] 40 mg / mL dimethyl sulfoxide solution of honeysuckle total extract (volumes of 9 mL, 4.5 mL, 1.5 mL, 0.5 mL, controlling the drug-lipid ratio to 6:1, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3), 3 mL of 10 mg / mL cholesterol ethanol solution, 3 mL of 10 mg / mL phospholipid ethanol solution, and 200 μL of 20 mg / mL polyoxyethylene 40 hydrogenated castor oil ethanol solution were mixed as the organic phase, and purified water was used as the aqueous phase; the organic phase and the aqueous phase were placed in syringes respectively, placed in a microfluidic device, and then connected to a microfluidic chip (length 3 mm, diameter 200 μm), and the organic phase flow rate was set to 3 mL / min and the aqueous phase flow rate was set to 9 mL / min. The two phases were slowly injected into the microfluidic chip through the inlet channel, and the resulting liquid was placed in a dialysis bag and dialyzed for 24 hours to remove the organic solvent, thereby preparing honeysuckle total extract liposomes with different drug-lipid ratios.
[0086] Figure 2The results of drug-lipid ratio screening of honeysuckle total extract liposomes show that the particle size and PDI of liposomes with drug-lipid ratios of 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3 meet the requirements. The larger the drug-lipid ratio, the higher the drug loading capacity. However, after further increasing the drug-lipid ratio (6:1), the liposome particle size obtained is too large, PDI>0.4, the particle size is uneven, and micron-level particles exist. Therefore, the preferred drug-lipid ratio is 3:1.

[0121] Evaluation of the efficacy of honeysuckle total extract liposome gel in the treatment of deep second-degree burns using a Balb / c mouse burn model
[0122] First, the mice were divided into groups. They were blank control group, model group, silver sulfadiazine cream group, low-dose group of total honeysuckle extract liposome gel (0.17%), and high-dose group of total honeysuckle extract liposome gel (0.3%). One day before the experiment, the backs of the mice were depilated with a depilatory cream. Afterwards, a deep second-degree burn was performed on the backs of the mice using a burn instrument (the control group was not treated). Then, the corresponding medicine was applied to the burned area on the backs of the mice every day, with a dosage of 0.15g / cm 2 . The healing status of the burn wound (including color and hardness) was recorded regularly and photographed, and the wound area of the animals was measured using Image J software to calculate the wound healing rate. When the wound on the back of the mouse was healed, the mouse was killed. The skin of the scalded area on the back of the mouse was taken for HE staining, and the expression level of the inflammatory factor TNF-α in the wound of each group of mice was detected by immunohistochemistry or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of the test drug on the burn wound.
[0123] Figure 5 These are typical images of burn wound healing at different stages in mice. Figure 5 The morphological changes in the wounds of mice in each group after modeling are shown. The wounds appeared evenly distributed, with a circular white border zone forming at the edges. The surrounding tissue was flesh-colored and exhibited significant edema. By day 4, scabs were observed to form on the wounds, most appearing light yellow. The wounds of mice in the low-dose liposome gel group were darker and appeared light red. By day 7, the scabs were largely intact, with clear edges, a light yellow hue, a rough surface, and a firm texture, tightly adhering to the burn wound. The wound area of mice in the low- and high-dose liposome gel groups was significantly reduced, demonstrating that liposome gel significantly promotes burn wound healing. By day 10, the wounds of mice in the model group and the silver sulfadiazine cream group remained light yellow, with a rough surface and a firm texture. In contrast, the wounds of mice in the low- and high-dose liposome gel groups had turned light red. This result shows that the effect of honeysuckle total extract liposome gel in promoting wound healing is significantly better than that of sulfadiazine silver cream group. On the 14th and 17th days, the scabs of the wounds of all mice continued to fall off, the scabs at the edges of the wounds hardened and curled up, and the wound area was significantly reduced. Among them, the wound of the high-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group was the most significantly reduced, further confirming its strong healing-promoting ability. By the 20th day, the wounds of mice in each group had basically reached a healed state. Therefore, honeysuckle total extract liposome gel showed significant therapeutic effects in promoting the healing of burn wounds, and its effect was better than traditional sulfadiazine silver cream.
[0124] Figure 6 The healing rate of burn wounds in mice on the 4th day. Figure 6On day 4, the wound healing rates of mice in the model group were approximately 10%, those in the silver sulfadiazine cream group were approximately 15%, those in the low-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group were approximately 30%, and those in the high-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group were approximately 40%. Compared with the model group, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
[0125] Figure 7 The healing rate of burn wounds in mice on the 7th day. Figure 7 On day 7, the wound healing rates of mice in the model group were approximately 28%, those in the silver sulfadiazine cream group were approximately 33%, those in the low-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group were approximately 45%, and those in the high-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group were approximately 55%. Compared with the model group, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
[0126] Figure 8 The healing rate of burn wounds in mice on the 10th day. Figure 8 The results showed that on the 10th day, the burn wound area of mice in all groups was significantly reduced. The wound healing rate of mice in the model group was approximately 40%, the wound healing rate of mice in the silver sulfadiazine cream group was approximately 47%, the wound healing rate of mice in the low-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group was approximately 66%, and the wound healing rate of mice in the high-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group reached approximately 68%. Compared with the model group, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
[0127] Figure 9 The healing rate of burn wounds in mice on the 14th day. Figure 9 On day 14, the wound healing rates of mice in the model group were approximately 65%, those in the silver sulfadiazine cream group were approximately 75%, those in the low-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group were approximately 84%, and those in the high-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group reached approximately 87%. Compared with the model group, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
[0128] Figure 10 The healing rate of burn wounds in mice on the 17th day. Figure 10 On day 17, the wound healing rates of mice in the model group were 84%, those in the silver sulfadiazine cream group were 90%, those in the low-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group were 97%, and those in the high-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group were approximately 95%. Compared with the model group, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
[0129] Figure 11 The healing rate of burn wounds in mice on the 20th day. Figure 11 It showed that on the 20th day, the wound healing rate of mice in each group was close to 100%, and the wounds were tending to be healed.
[0130] Figure 12 Comparison of back burn wound healing rates in each group of mice at different times. Overall, the wound healing rate in the model group was lower than that in the silver sulfadiazine cream group, lower than that in the low-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group, and lower than that in the high-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group. At observation time points of 4 and 7 days, the wound healing rate in the high-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group was significantly higher than that in the silver sulfadiazine cream group (p < 0.05).
[0131] Figure 13 HE staining results of the burn wounds of mice in each group, where the green arrow indicates that the epidermis of the mouse skin is intact, the yellow arrow indicates the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the black arrow indicates the edema and inflammation of the dermis, and the blue arrow indicates the dermis that has recovered after injury. Figure 13 In the control group, cells were arranged regularly, the dermis was intact and thicker than the epidermis, no inflammatory cell infiltration was observed, and relatively intact muscle tissue was visible under the skin. In the model group, the dermis was damaged, with many inflammatory cells infiltrating and obvious edema and inflammation in the dermis. Inflammation of the back skin of mice in the sulfadiazine silver cream group and the honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group was reduced. In particular, the high-dose honeysuckle total extract liposome gel group had significantly reduced inflammation of the back skin of mice, with good repair of the dermis and intact muscle tissue. The effect was significantly better than that of the traditional burn treatment drug sulfadiazine silver cream group.
[0132] Figure 14 The results of immunohistochemical staining of TNF-α, a pro-inflammatory factor, on the burn wounds of mice in each group are shown. Figure 14 As can be seen, the control group produced virtually no inflammatory cytokine TNF-α. However, the model group expressed significant amounts of TNF-α. Compared to the control group, the high-dose honeysuckle extract liposome gel group significantly reduced TNF-α. Overall, TNF-α expression levels were in the order of control group < high-dose honeysuckle extract liposome gel group < low-dose honeysuckle extract liposome gel group < silver sulfadiazine cream group < model group. This result is consistent with the trend in burn wound healing rates in mice.
[0133] The above results show that the liposome gel of total extract of honeysuckle has the ability to significantly inhibit inflammation and promote the healing of burn wounds.
[0134] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
