Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of pesticide preparation, in particular to a kind of loaded difenoconazole nano-suspension and preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the past decade, nanotechnology and nanomaterials have been increasingly applied in various aspects of agriculture, including pest control, seed treatment, fertilizer and pesticide delivery, nutrient uptake of crops or vegetables, detection and purification of toxic agricultural chemicals and water, and pollutant remediation. The application of nanomaterials in agriculture has become a hot topic and can effectively solve some difficulties faced by traditional formulations, especially mesoporous silica nanoparticles as a carrier for loading pesticides have become a research hotspot for scholars. Loading pesticides with mesoporous silica nanoparticles not only improves drug solubility and permeability, allowing it to accurately penetrate target plants without dissipating due to external environmental factors such as wind speed and temperature, but also has a sustained-release effect, prolonging drug release time and allowing active ingredients to be released slowly and continuously rather than in short bursts. This not only reduces the frequency of drug administration and saves medication, but also avoids overuse of the drug, which can damage the environment.

[0003] One-pot method is a modified sol-gel method, the biggest advantage of which is that the preparation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and the encapsulation of active ingredients are combined and completed at the same time, without the need to first prepare mesoporous silica nanoparticle shells and then encapsulate active ingredients by adsorption or other methods. One-pot method makes the preparation process of drug-loaded nanoparticles simpler and more convenient, providing the possibility for industrialization.

[0004] Difenoconazole was developed by Syngenta in 1989 and belongs to the triazole class of pesticides. Difenoconazole is a broad-spectrum fungicide used to control diseases in vegetables, fruits, cereals, and other field crops. It has preventive and curative effects by inhibiting the demethylation process in ergosterol synthesis. Difenoconazole is a light-degradable drug, and the one-pot preparation method simultaneously encapsulates the drug and prepares nanoparticles, which not only shortens the preparation time of drug-loaded nanoparticles but also improves the stability and efficacy of difenoconazole. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to use mesoporous silica nanoparticles prepared by one-pot method to coat or adsorb difenoconazole, increase its stability and efficacy, and reduce the amount of drug administration, thereby reducing the environmental pollution caused by this pesticide.

[0006] The application provides a preparation method of a nano-suspension agent loaded with difenoconazole.

[0007] The object of the application can be achieved by the following technical solutions.

[0008] The application provides a nano-suspension agent loaded with difenoconazole, and components are shown in the following mass ratio: 1-50% of nano-particles loaded with difenoconazole, 1-10% of wet dispersant, 0.1-5% of thickening agent, 1-5% of antifreezing agent, 0.5-5% of defoaming agent, and the rest is deionized water.

[0009] Further, the preparation of the nano-particles loaded with difenoconazole comprises the following steps:

[0010] (1) preparing an aqueous phase: dissolving cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in pure water, and heating by ultrasonic waves until completely dissolved, and then standing for several minutes until no air bubbles are present on the surface for standby;

[0011] (2) preparing an oil phase: weighing a certain amount of difenoconazole technical material, and dissolving in a beaker for standby;

[0012] (3) transferring the aqueous phase prepared in step (1) into a three-necked flask under mechanical stirring at a certain temperature, and uniformly pouring the oil phase prepared in step (2) into the three-necked flask to form a stable oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion;

[0013] (4) dropping tetraethyl orthosilicate into the three-necked flask at a uniform and slow speed, and then uniformly dropping concentrated ammonia water into the three-necked flask, accelerating the hydrolysis and condensation reaction of tetraethyl orthosilicate and water, so that the solution gradually turns white, and a suspension of mesoporous silica nano-particles is obtained;

[0014] (5) centrifuging the suspension obtained in step (4), washing twice with ethanol, and washing once with water, and then freeze-drying in a freeze dryer for 24 hours to obtain a powder of mesoporous silica nano-particles loaded with difenoconazole.

[0015] Further, the content of difenoconazole in the mesoporous silica nano-particles loaded with difenoconazole is greater than 10%.

[0016] Further, the preparation of the nano-suspension agent loaded with difenoconazole comprises the following steps:

[0017] According to the formula, the nano-particles loaded with difenoconazole, the wet dispersant, the thickening agent, the antifreezing agent, the defoaming agent and water are added into a beaker, sheared by a shearing machine for 10-30 seconds, zirconium oxide beads are added, and then grinding is performed in a sand mill to obtain the nano-suspension agent.

[0018] Further, the wetting dispersant is selected from one or more of sodium lignosulfonate, calcium lignosulfonate, naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde polymer sodium salt, alkyl naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate, polycarboxylate, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene ether block copolymer, dodecyl polyoxyethylene phosphate.

[0019] Further, the thickening agent is selected from one or more of xanthan gum, magnesium aluminum silicate, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

[0020] Further, the antifreezing agent is selected from one or more of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, urea.

[0021] Further, the antifoaming agent is selected from one of organic silicon antifoaming agents.

[0022] The present application has the following beneficial effects relative to the prior art:

[0023] The mesoporous silica nanoparticles loaded with difenoconazole are prepared by one-pot method, which has the advantages of simple preparation process, short preparation time, simultaneous drug loading process and preparation process.

[0024] The mesoporous silica nanoparticles have a three-dimensional open network structure and high surface area, showing good adsorption capacity. This special structure allows the mesoporous interior space to accommodate a large number of difenoconazole drug molecules, thereby improving the drug loading capacity and also improving the light stability.

[0025] Due to the special structure of the mesopores, the drug can be continuously and slowly released for a long time, which can avoid frequent use of the drug, reduce the amount of the drug used, and thus achieve the purpose of protecting the environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
