Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical formulation technology, and in particular to a multiple nanoemulsion adjuvant and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Nanoemulsions, as water-in-oil or oil-in-water colloidal dispersions, are widely used in drug delivery and vaccine adjuvants due to their small particle size, large specific surface area, and ability to simultaneously encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic active ingredients. In the field of immunoadjuvants, nanoemulsions can improve antigen delivery efficiency, enhance in vivo distribution, and strengthen immune responses, making them particularly suitable for delivering thermosensitive, easily degradable triterpenoid saponin-based active adjuvants such as QS-21.

[0003] In practical applications, the long-term low-temperature storage stability of nanoemulsions is a key indicator affecting their promotion and use. Vaccine adjuvants typically need to be stored at 2–8°C for months to years. During this period, if particle size drift, crystallization, or stratification occurs, it will not only lead to changes in appearance and product spoilage, but also affect the release of active adjuvants and immunization efficacy. Therefore, maintaining particle size stability without crystallization / stratification at low temperatures for long periods is a core requirement that high-quality nanoemulsion adjuvants must meet.

[0004] To improve low-temperature storage stability, existing technologies often add a high proportion of sterol compounds, such as cholesterol and phytosterols, to the oil phase to enhance the rigidity of the oil core film and reduce oil droplet fusion. However, high proportions of sterols are prone to crystallization at low temperatures, leading to a significant increase in particle size and even sedimentation and stratification. Although reducing the proportion of sterols can alleviate crystallization, it causes particle size drift over time and decreased dispersibility, creating a technical contradiction between the ease of crystallization with high sterol content and the instability with low sterol content.

[0005] Another existing approach attempts to improve low-temperature stability by constructing a single, continuous polymeric shell of anions or cations on the surface of nanoemulsions. However, a single electrically charged polymeric layer is prone to aggregation or coating by serum proteins in protein or salt environments, altering its surface properties. Furthermore, an excessively thick polymeric layer may reduce effective interfacial interaction with antigens, affecting immune activity. More importantly, this type of method fails to fundamentally solve the problem of long-term particle size drift under low-sterol conditions.

[0006] To improve long-term stability during low-temperature storage, the controllability and repeatability of the preparation process must also be considered. Current technologies lack sufficient control over the type, sequence, and amount of polymer modifications, leading to significant differences in low-temperature stability between different batches. Some batches even exhibit crystallization or exceed particle size limits within 2–3 months. Furthermore, an improper sequence of polymer modifications can easily result in a loose interfacial structure in the short term, reducing long-term stability.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that, under low sterol conditions, combines a rational multi-interface structure design with a polymer sequential addition process, to enable nanoemulsions to maintain ΔD50≤+5%, without crystallization or stratification, when stored at 2–8℃ for 6 months or more. This would resolve the technical contradiction between the easy crystallization of high sterols and the instability of low sterols, significantly improve the stability of long-term storage at low temperatures, and balance the retention rate of active adjuvants and the immune effect. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the technical problem of particle size drift, crystallization, or stratification that occurs in existing nanoemulsion adjuvants during long-term low-temperature storage under low-sterol conditions, this invention provides a method for preparing multiple nanoemulsion adjuvants. By introducing sequentially added anionic and cationic polymeric modification layers onto a low-sterol oil phase, and through optimized design of the surfactant and buffer system, the method significantly improves long-term low-temperature storage stability while ensuring particle size uniformity. This method maintains ΔD50 ≤ +5% and exhibits no crystallization / stratification after 6 months of storage at 2–8℃, thus overcoming the technical contradiction between the ease of crystallization in high-sterol environments and the instability in low-sterol environments.

[0009] This invention provides a multiple nanoemulsion adjuvant, comprising, based on a 100g raw material system:

[0010] 2.73–6.37 g oil phase matrix;

[0011] 0.10–0.25 g of sterol compounds;

[0012] 0.212–0.424 g of nonionic surfactant;

[0013] 0.00050–0.00200g of triterpenoid saponin active adjuvant;

[0014] 0.010–0.020 g anionic polymeric modifier;

[0015] 0.005–0.015 g cationic polymeric modifier;

[0016] 70–90 g buffer solution, pH 6.8–7.6, osmotic pressure 260–320 mOsm / kg;

[0017] Add water to bring the total weight to 100g.

[0018] Preferably, the oil phase matrix is ​​ethyl linoleate, medium-chain triglycerides, squalene, or a combination thereof.

[0019] Preferably, the sterol compound is campesterol, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, cholesterol, or a combination thereof.

[0020] Preferably, the nonionic surfactant is a polysorbate, a polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene castor oil derivative, or a combination thereof.

[0021] Preferably, the triterpenoid saponin active adjuvant is QS-21.

[0022] Preferably, the anionic polymeric modifier is sodium γ-polyglutamate, hyaluronic acid, alginate, carrageenan, or a combination thereof.

[0023] More preferably, the anionic polymeric modifier is sodium γ-polyglutamate.

[0024] Preferably, the cationic polymeric modifier is diethylaminoethyl dextran hydrochloride (DEAE-Dextran), polylysine, chitosan, polyguanidine salt, or a combination thereof.

[0025] More preferably, the cationic polymeric modifier is diethylaminoethyl dextran hydrochloride. Even more preferably, the cationic polymeric modifier is a combination of diethylaminoethyl dextran hydrochloride and polylysine.

[0026] Preferably, the buffer solution is a HEPES buffer solution.

[0027] This invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned multiple nanoemulsion adjuvant, comprising the following steps:

[0028] (1) Mix the oil phase matrix with sterol compounds, stir to dissolve, and obtain the oil phase;

[0029] (2) Add the triterpenoid saponin active adjuvant and the nonionic surfactant to the buffer solution and stir to dissolve to obtain the aqueous phase;

[0030] (3) Add the oil phase to the aqueous phase and stir to form a primary emulsion;

[0031] (4) The proemulsion is emulsified to obtain a nanoemulsion;

[0032] (5) Add an anionic polymer modifier to the nanoemulsion and mix evenly;

[0033] (6) After step (5) is completed, add the cationic polymer modifier and mix well;

[0034] (7) Add water to a total mass of 100g, mix well, filter, and obtain the multi-nano emulsion adjuvant.

[0035] This invention, under low-sterol conditions, forms a multi-interface structure with a dual-electrical distribution by sequentially introducing anionic and cationic polymeric modifiers onto the surface of nanoemulsion particles. On one hand, the anionic polymeric modifier provides a stable negative potential and steric hindrance, inhibiting particle aggregation and crystallization at low temperatures. On the other hand, the cationic polymeric modifier forms locally positively charged regions on the particle surface, enhancing interactions with negatively charged antigens or cell membranes and maintaining good dispersibility in salt- or protein-containing environments. The synergistic effect of the bilayer modification maintains particle size uniformity and dispersibility while reducing the degradation rate of the active adjuvant during storage.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention further constructs a multi-interface structure through a "cathioneous-cationeous" polymer modification sequence, enabling the nanoemulsion to maintain a particle size change rate (ΔD50) of no more than +5% after 6 months of storage at 2–8°C, without crystallization or stratification, and significantly improving its long-term low-temperature storage stability. Experiments have shown that the nanoemulsion prepared by this method has a higher retention rate of active adjuvants under accelerated conditions. Detailed Implementation

[0037] The endpoints and any values ​​of the ranges disclosed in this invention are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values ​​should be understood to include values ​​close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoint values ​​of the various ranges, the endpoint values ​​of the various ranges and individual point values, and individual point values ​​can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed in this invention.

[0038] Unless otherwise expressly stated in this specification and claims, "multiple nanoemulsion adjuvant" does not refer to multiple emulsions (such as W / O / W or O / W / O structures) in the field of emulsification, but rather to a nanoemulsion adjuvant formed from a single nanodroplet of an oil phase, an emulsifier, and an aqueous phase, the surface of which is sequentially modified with two or more different types of materials to form multiple functional interface layers. The "multiple" in the multiple nanoemulsion adjuvant described in this invention refers to the multiplicity and diversity of the surface modification layers, not the multiplicity of the phase structure of the emulsion system.

[0039] This invention provides a method for preparing multiple nanoemulsion adjuvants, comprising the following steps:

[0040] (1) Mix 2.73-6.37 g of oil phase matrix with 0.10-0.25 g of sterol compound, heat and stir until completely dissolved to obtain oil phase;

[0041] (2) Add 0.00050-0.00200g of triterpenoid saponin active adjuvant and 0.212-0.424g of nonionic surfactant to 70-90g of buffer solution (pH 6.8-7.6, osmotic pressure 260-320mOsm / kg) and stir to dissolve to obtain an aqueous phase;

[0042] (3) The oil phase is slowly added to the aqueous phase under stirring conditions to form a primary emulsion;

[0043] (4) The promulgated emulsion is subjected to high-energy emulsification to obtain nanoemulsion with uniform particle size;

[0044] (5) Add 0.010-0.020g of anionic polymer modifier to the nanoemulsion and mix evenly to form a first surface modification layer;

[0045] (6) After step (5) is completed, add 0.005-0.015g of cationic polymer modifier and mix evenly to form a second surface modification layer;

[0046] (7) Add purified water to a total mass of 100g, mix well, filter, and the multi-nano emulsion adjuvant is obtained.

[0047] Wherein: the oil phase matrix is ​​ethyl linoleate, medium-chain triglycerides, squalene or a combination thereof, which serves as the hydrophobic core of the nanoemulsion particles, effectively dissolving and encapsulating hydrophobic or amphiphilic active ingredients, reducing their exposure in the aqueous phase, thereby reducing the impact of environmental factors such as temperature and oxidation on their stability.

[0048] The sterol compounds are campesterol, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, cholesterol, or combinations thereof. They form a complex structure with the matrix in the oil phase, increasing the rigidity of the interfacial film and inhibiting the liquid-solid transition at low temperatures, thereby reducing the risk of crystallization. In this invention, the proportion of sterols is controlled within a low range of 15 wt% of the oil phase mass to balance stability and avoid high sterol crystallization.

[0049] The nonionic surfactant is a polysorbate, a polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene castor oil derivative or a combination thereof, used to reduce the oil / water interfacial tension, promote droplet refinement and prevent aggregation, and preferably has a low peroxide value to reduce the oxidation of active ingredients;

[0050] The triterpenoid saponin active adjuvant is QS-21, which can induce both humoral and cellular immunity. However, it is easily inactivated by temperature, oxidation, and interfacial environment. This invention significantly improves its stability under low-temperature long-term storage and accelerated conditions through oil phase embedding and multilayer interfacial modification.

[0051] The anionic polymeric modifier is sodium γ-polyglutamate, hyaluronic acid, alginate, carrageenan or a combination thereof, preferably sodium γ-polyglutamate. This component forms a negatively charged first modification layer on the surface of the droplets, providing electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance, preventing low-temperature aggregation and crystallization, and enhancing dispersion stability.

[0052] The cationic polymeric modifier is diethylaminoethyl dextran hydrochloride, polylysine, chitosan, polyguanidine salt or a combination thereof, preferably diethylaminoethyl dextran hydrochloride. This component forms a locally positively charged modification layer outside the anionic polymeric modifier layer, which can enhance the binding with negatively charged antigens or cell membranes and maintain dispersibility in salt-containing or protein-containing environments.

[0053] The preferred buffer solution is HEPES buffer, which provides stable pH and osmotic pressure, maintains the physical stability of the nanoemulsion system, and prevents the active adjuvant from being degraded due to acid-base fluctuations. Purified water is used to make up the total mass, ensuring accurate concentration and avoiding the introduction of impurities during the filtration and sterilization process.

[0054] Under low-sterol conditions, a stable, electrically dual-layered interfacial structure can be formed by sequentially introducing anionic and cationic polymer modification layers onto the surface of nanoemulsion particles. This structure utilizes anionic polymer modifiers to provide a stable negative potential and steric hindrance, inhibiting particle aggregation and crystallization at low temperatures. Simultaneously, cationic polymer modifiers create locally positively charged regions on the outer layer, enhancing binding with negatively charged antigens or cell membranes and maintaining good dispersibility in salt- or protein-containing environments. The specific "anionic-then-cationic" process enables the formation of strong interlayer bonds and spatial arrangements at the interface, reducing interfacial instability caused by intermolecular rearrangement, thereby significantly improving long-term low-temperature storage stability.

[0055] Furthermore, when using a combination of the anionic polymeric modifier sodium γ-polyglutamate and the cationic polymeric modifier diethylaminoethyl dextran hydrochloride, sodium γ-polyglutamate first forms a uniform, dense, and highly hydrophilic negatively charged layer on the surface of the emulsion droplets. This not only provides strong electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance, inhibiting close contact between droplets, but also maintains the interfacial hydration film at low temperatures, effectively preventing crystallization. Subsequently, the introduced diethylaminoethyl dextran hydrochloride, through local electrostatic recombination with the surface sodium γ-polyglutamate, forms a flexible positively charged region on the outer layer. This positively charged region can enhance the interaction with negatively charged antigens or cell membranes and inhibit non-specific aggregation in saline and protein-containing environments. The inner layer of sodium γ-polyglutamate provides a durable interfacial stability basis, while the outer layer of diethylaminoethyl dextran hydrochloride introduces a moderate surface charge heterogeneity and a flexible protective layer, achieving a balance between physical stability, environmental adaptability, and biobinding capacity in the entire multi-interface. This significantly improves the long-term low-temperature stability and adjuvant retention rate of the nanoemulsion even under low-sterol conditions.

[0056] Furthermore, polylysine can be rapidly adsorbed onto the surface of the anionic polymer modifier layer, forming a dense positively charged region and enhancing interfacial bonding; diethylaminoethyl dextran hydrochloride provides highly hydrophilic and flexible protection on its outer layer, stabilizing local positive charges and resisting salt ion shielding. The two work synergistically to construct a dual-electrical outer layer that combines compactness and flexibility, thereby significantly improving the long-term low-temperature stability of the nanoemulsion under low-sterol conditions and preventing crystallization.
