Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine preparation, in particular to a volatile oil adsorption carrier, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine volatile oil preparation, the existing adsorption carrier has three technical bottlenecks, which seriously restrict the efficient use of high-activity ingredients: (1) Low oil loading rate: Traditional carriers such as silica gel and β-cyclodextrin have a limited specific surface area, and the oil loading rate is generally less than 20%, resulting in a loss of more than 40% of high-value volatile oil in production. For example, when β-cyclodextrin is loaded with zedoary oil, the oil loading rate is only 18.7%, causing significant resource waste. (2) Instability and leakage in a humid environment: Hydrophilic carriers (such as unmodified chitosan) have a swelling rate of more than 60% under high humidity conditions (RH>75%), which causes serious leakage, and the retention rate is less than 70% after 30 days of accelerated testing at 40°C. More seriously, small molecule volatile oils (such as α-pinene with a diameter of 0.6 nm) have a high accelerated loss rate of more than 35% due to ineffective pore retention. (3) Release control leading to a sharp drop in bioavailability: In oral preparations, the existing carriers lack a stomach protection mechanism, and the release rate in the stomach environment is more than 30%, which causes degradation of active ingredients and a colon effective dose of less than 35%.

[0003] Existing improved technologies are still plagued by inherent defects:

[0004] Single-phase modified carriers (such as C18-silica gel) have improved hydrophobicity, but the specific surface area has not exceeded the upper limit, and the oil loading rate is only 22%, and they cannot be compatible with polar molecule adsorption;

[0005] Magnetic composite materials use Fe3O4 as a magnetic core (accounting for more than 20%), but they do not develop its pore blocking function, and the escape rate of small molecules is still more than 30%.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new volatile oil adsorption carrier with a dual-phase core-shell structure of a hydrophobic inner core and a cross-linked lipophilic outer shell to achieve "partition adsorption-pore blocking oil locking-anti-swelling controlled release".

[0042] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described in the following. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to numerals and / or reference letters in different examples, and such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, which itself does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0043] In one aspect, the present application provides a volatile oil adsorption carrier, which is composed of the following components by mass percentage:

[0044] hydrophobic inner core 60%;

[0045] cross-linked lipophilic outer shell 40%.

[0046] In this embodiment, the hydrophobic inner core includes, by mass fraction:

[0047] hydrophobic mesoporous silica 54-59 parts;

[0048] Fe3O4molecular plug 1-6 parts;

[0049] Among them, the specific surface area of mesoporous silica is ≥800 m² / g, the pore size is 5-10 nm, and the surface is grafted with C18 silane (grafting rate ≥15%); mesoporous silica adsorbs non-polar volatile oil components through van der Waals force, and its high specific surface area (≥800 m 2 / g) and mesoporous structure (pore size 5-10 nm) are suitable for the size of volatile oil molecules (most <2 nm); in this embodiment, the mesoporous silica is selected from Xi'an Rixi Biological Technology, model mesoporous silica nanoparticles 100 nm; C18 silane chains are grafted on the surface of mesoporous silica through hydrolysis and condensation reaction, and the long-chain alkyl of C18 silane chain enhances hydrophobicity and provides van der Waals force to adsorb non-polar components. The particle size of Fe3O4molecular plug is 5-8 nm, which is embedded in the pore entrance of mesoporous silica. Fe3O4plugs the pores to inhibit the diffusion of small molecules, while the surface of Fe3O4adsorbs additional capacity to avoid interference with the oil loading rate of the carrier. Fe3O4molecular plug solves the problem of small molecule volatile oil loss under the premise of almost zero loss of oil loading rate through physical plugging and magnetic functionalization, and gives the carrier the characteristics of magnetic response release.

[0050] Specifically, the C18 silane chain is one or more of octadecyltrimethoxysilane, octadecyltriethoxysilane, and bis(triethoxysilyl)octadecane. The alkoxy group (-OR) of silane reacts with water to generate silanol (-SiOH); silanol and SiO2surface hydroxyl group dehydrate to form Si-O-Si covalent bond, and the specific reaction formula is as follows:

[0051] SiO2-OH + (CH3O)3Si-C 18 H 37 → SiO2-O-Si-C 18 H 37 .

[0053] Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) 20-25 parts;

[0054] Chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (HACC) 12-15 parts;

[0055] Genipin crosslinking agent 2-3 parts;

[0056] The hydrophilic outer edge / hydrophobic cavity (diameter 0.78 nm) of the HP-beta-CD can bind polar molecules and improve water dispersibility; in the embodiment, the HP-beta-CD is selected from Shanghai Yuanye Biological Technology Co., Ltd., and the model is S11011. The positive charge (+30-50 mV) of the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt can inhibit microbial growth and enhance mucosal adhesion; in the embodiment, the chitosan quaternary ammonium salt is selected from Jiangsu Yihao Tian Biological Technology, and the model is TLL (food / medical grade). The genipin crosslinking agent forms a covalent crosslinking network (crosslinking degree ≥80%) with the free amino groups of HACC, which can inhibit hydration swelling; in the embodiment, the genipin crosslinking agent is selected from Hubei Hongfuda Biological, and the model is medical grade.

[0057] The application also provides a preparation method of the volatile oil adsorption carrier, which comprises the following steps:

[0058] A method for preparing the volatile oil adsorption carrier according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0059] ① In-situ synthesis of hydrophobic inner core and molecular plug:

[0060] Disperse mesoporous silica in toluene, add 0.5% sodium citrate and Fe 2+ / Fe 3+ Solution, drop 50℃ nitrogen protection NH4OH to pH 10, 50℃ reaction 1 h to generate Fe3O4 in the pore;

[0061] The molar ratio of Fe 2+ / Fe 3+ Is 1:2;

[0062] Add 2% v / v C18 silane chain, 110℃ reflux 24h, complete hydrophobic modification, get hydrophobic inner core; ② Lipophilic shell coating: HACC and genipin (amino molar ratio 5:1) are reacted in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer at 50℃ for 45 min, and then purified by dialysis to obtain crosslinked HACC;

[0063] Mix HP-β-CD and cross-linked HACC in proportion in pH 7.0 acetic acid buffer, stir at 45℃ for 2 h to form a complex solution; add the hydrophobic inner core to the complex solution, ultrasonic emulsification treatment for 10-15 min at power 300 W and temperature ≤35℃; ③ spray drying solidification: apply a static magnetic field of 0.5 T to make Fe3O4 directional distribution, inlet temperature 105℃, outlet temperature 55℃, and feeding rate 5 mL / min to obtain a powderized magnetic adsorption carrier with water content ≤3%.

[0064] The application also provides an application of the volatile oil adsorption carrier. The volatile oil adsorption carrier is applied to adsorption and enrichment and stabilization of traditional Chinese medicine volatile oil: the adsorption carrier is applied to an online adsorption system of distillation tail gas, the filling height of the adsorption tower is 50 cm, the empty tower gas velocity is 0.3-0.5 m / s, and the volatile oil is adsorbed; the adsorption carrier loaded with the volatile oil is directly used for preparation of enteric-coated capsules or inhalants, and the controlled release conditions are that the release in a stomach environment is ≤20% and the release in an intestinal environment is ≥80%.

[0065] Specifically, in the gastric juice (pH 1.0-3.0), the quaternary ammonium group -N + (CH3)3 is highly protonated and has a strong positive charge; the genipin cross-linked network (cross-linking degree ≥80%) shrinks under acidic conditions, the density of the outer shell is improved to form a “molecular lock”; the pore size of the outer shell is reduced, and the diffusion of the inner core volatile oil molecules to the outside is prevented. At the same time, the anti-erosion barrier of the hydrophobic inner core, the C18 silane modified mesoporous SiO2 remains stable in gastric acid, and the Fe3O4 molecular plug blocks the pores to physically block the oil molecules from seeping out. Non-polar molecules (such as α-pinene) are difficult to dissolve in gastric acid, and polar molecules (such as camphor) are tightly included by the protonated HP-β-CD cavity, and are cooperatively inhibited with the carrier.

[0066] Under the intestinal juice (pH 6.8-7.4), the amino group of HACC is deprotonated, and the positive charge is weakened. When the cross-linking degree of the genipin cross-linked network is ≥80%, the swelling rate of HACC under pH 7.0 can reach 150%, and the pore expansion accelerates the diffusion of oil molecules. The cavity of HP-β-CD is hydrophilic in a weak alkaline environment, and the polar volatile oil molecules (such as camphor) included are dissociated due to the decrease in hydrophobic force. In the intestinal juice, bile salts (such as sodium taurocholate) remove the oil molecules on the surface of the hydrophobic inner core through emulsification, dissolve the Fe3O4 molecular plug adsorbed on the surface of the oil, and open the pore channels, thereby improving the release rate.

[0067] Further, the volatile oil molecule suitable for the adsorption carrier is 0.5-1.5 nm in diameter, and the volatile oil is one or more of camphor, limonene, α-pinene, asarone, cinnamic aldehyde, borneol acetate, and linalool.

[0068] Further, the traditional Chinese medicine volatile oil includes at least one of spring amomum oil, patchouli oil, mint oil, zedoary oil, cassia twig oil and asarum oil.

[0069] Specifically, the carrier is filled by a wet method (the carrier is wetted with ethanol), and static agglomeration is eliminated; each 10 cm is shaken, layered and compacted, the filling density uniformity RSD is less than or equal to 5%, the carrier filling density is 0.35±0.05 g / cm³, the porosity is greater than or equal to 70%, channeling is avoided, the tail gas treatment capacity is 100-500 L / min, and the capacity of 10-50 L distillation stills is adapted.

[0070] In other embodiments, the volatile oil adsorption carrier described above can also be applied to the application of traditional Chinese medicine volatile oil adsorption and targeted preparation, the release of the volatile oil is triggered by an alternating magnetic field (frequency 20 kHz), and the release rate is greater than or equal to 90% in 30 min; the oil retention rate is greater than or equal to 95% after storage in a high-humidity environment (RH 85%, 40°C) for 30 days.

[0071] Specifically, the targeted preparation is a magnetic response transdermal patch or an oral colon positioning capsule.

[0123] As can be seen from the above, the volatile oil adsorbent carrier hydrophobic core (SiO2-C18) of the present application captures nonpolar volatile oil through van der Waals force, and the lipophilic shell (HP-β-CD) has a hydrophilic periphery / hydrophobic cavity that can include polar oil, and through the dual-phase synergy, a dual oil loading channel is realized, and the carrier oil loading rate is typically ≥30% w / w; at the same time, the Fe3O4 molecular plug generated in situ in the pores blocks part of the mesopores, inhibits the escape of small molecules, and reduces the adsorption tower tail gas residue from >15% to ≤2%;

[0124] At the same time, the free amino groups of genipin crosslinking agent and HACC form a covalent crosslinking network (crosslinking degree ≥80%), which inhibits hydration swelling and avoids the swelling and disintegration of the carrier under humid conditions, resulting in volatile oil leakage; at the same time, the Fe3O4 molecular plug blocks the diffusion of water vapor and heat, and the leakage rate under humid heat conditions is ≤5% (traditional >30%);

[0125] Finally, the HACC cross-linked shell shrinks in the stomach (pH 1.2) (release ≤20%), the shell density increases to form a "molecular lock"; so that the shell pore size is reduced, preventing the diffusion of volatile oil molecules in the core to the outside, in the intestine (pH 6.8) when the degree of cross-linking of the genipin cross-linked network is ≥80%, the HACC has a swelling rate of 150% at pH 7.0, the oil molecule diffusion is accelerated by the expansion of the pore (release ≥80%), so that the carrier has pH responsiveness, at the same time Fe3O4 generates heat under alternating magnetic field (20 kHz), the transdermal patch releases ≥90% in 30 min, realizing magnetic control triggering.
