Abstract

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to an active pharmaceutical composition for treating oral ulcer and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Oral ulcer is the most common oral mucosa disease in clinic, which can occur in people of all ages. Its cause has not been completely clear. Modern medicine believes that it is related to immune function disorder, genetic factors, mental stress, nutritional deficiency, oral mucosa trauma and microbial infection, etc. The core pathological mechanism is abnormal apoptosis of oral mucosa epithelial cells, which leads to the appearance of round or oval superficial ulcer in the mucosa, accompanied by obvious burning pain.
[0003] The drug development for treating oral ulcer is carried out around three core goals of relieving symptoms, promoting healing and reducing recurrence. The drugs currently used in clinic have formed a system with multiple dosage forms and multiple action mechanisms. From the dosage form, there are two types of local medication and systemic medication. Local medication is the first choice in clinic because of its direct action on the lesion and small side effects. Common dosage forms include gargling solution, patch, gel, powder, etc. Systemic medication is mainly aimed at patients with repeated episodes and severe conditions, and mainly uses immune modulators and vitamin supplements to adjust the immune state of the body or supplement nutrition to reduce the frequency of ulcer recurrence.
[0004] From the action mechanism, the existing drugs can be divided into four categories: 1. Anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, which can inhibit the reproduction of oral pathogenic bacteria, reduce secondary infection of ulcer and relieve inflammatory reaction; 2. Analgesics, which can block pain signal transmission through local anesthetic components to quickly reduce the burning pain; 3. Promoting healing drugs, which can supplement growth factors or provide a mucosa protective barrier to accelerate the repair of mucosa epithelial cells; 4. Immune modulators, which can regulate T lymphocyte function, improve immune disorder and reduce recurrence.
[0005] The current drugs for treating oral ulcer still have the following problems:
[0006] 1. Short action time of local medication, which needs to be used frequently: Most local drugs are easily diluted and flushed by saliva in the oral cavity, and the action time only lasts for 1-2 hours. Patients need to use them 4-6 times a day to maintain the efficacy, and the compliance is poor. Especially at night, the drug action is interrupted, which delays the healing process.
[0007] 2. Poor prevention effect of recurrence, and lack of radical treatment: There is no drug that can completely cure oral ulcer. Although systemic immune modulators can reduce the frequency of recurrence, they are only effective for 30%-40% of patients and have side effects, which cannot be widely used. Most local drugs only focus on acute treatment and have almost no preventive effect on recurrence.
[0008] 3. Some drugs have side effects, and the suitable population is limited: long-term use of chlorhexidine in mouthwash may cause tooth staining and taste changes; long-term use of hormone patches may cause oral mucosa atrophy; systemic immunomodulators have the risk of liver and kidney function damage, and are not suitable for children, pregnant women and patients with liver and kidney dysfunction.
[0009] Therefore, there is a need to develop safer, long-acting, efficient and highly adherent drugs, and to reduce recurrent infections to provide better treatment options for patients. SUMMARY

[0032] Use of the above-mentioned medicine in the preparation of a medicine for treating oral ulcer diseases.
[0033] The active pharmaceutical composition for treating oral ulcer provided by the present application has the beneficial effects including:
[0034] Firstly, the medicine of the present application solves the core pain points of traditional oral ulcer medicines, such as short-acting, large side effects and easy recurrence, through the synergistic system of complex treatment, long-acting adhesion, safe regulation and microecological prevention. The specific principles are as follows: (1) covering the pathological link: the active ingredient combination is aimed at bacterial infection, inflammatory response and mucosal repair, forming a closed loop treatment of anti-infection, inflammation and promoting healing, matching the pathological mechanism of oral ulcer infection, inflammation and epithelial apoptosis. (2) Long-acting adhesion to prolong drug efficacy: through the multiple adhesion mechanisms of electrostatic crosslinking, hydrogen bond and covalent bond of the composite carrier, the drug loss caused by saliva flushing is reduced, the limitation of traditional medicines completely lost within 2 hours is broken through, and the frequency of drug use is reduced. (3) Safe low toxicity and wide population adaptation: the component ratio is optimized to avoid the problems of hemolysis and osmotic pressure caused by excessive active ingredients, low-stimulus excipients are selected to avoid the side effects of chlorhexidine staining and hormone atrophy, and the medicine is suitable for sensitive groups such as children and pregnant women.
[0035] Secondly, the active ingredients construct a complex treatment core: lactoferrin peptide contains hydrophobic amino acid residues, which can destroy the cell membrane of pathogenic bacteria and regulate the immune response of the body to help inhibit the spread of infection. The polyphenolic components of spilanthes acuta flavonoids can scavenge inflammation-related active oxygen, reduce the release of inflammatory factors such as TNF-α and IL-6, and relieve ulcer pain. Its antioxidant properties can also protect other active ingredients from being oxidized and inactivated. Brazilian Bego extract: contains active polypeptides, which can specifically bind to the epidermal growth factor receptor on the surface of human epithelial cells, activate the cell proliferation signaling pathway, and accelerate the repair and regeneration of mucosal epithelial cells.
[0036] Three, functional adjuvant realizes long-acting, controlled release, comfort: (1) trimethyl chitosan-fucoidan complex: positive and negative charge polysaccharide forms a dense nanogel network by electrostatic crosslinking, and wraps the active ingredients to avoid premature release; the amino and hydroxyl groups on the surface of the complex form hydrogen bonds with the carboxyl and hydroxyl groups of the mucosal glycoprotein, thereby enhancing the mucosal adhesion. (2) High adhesion biomimetic carrier (silk fibroin + hyaluronic acid-thiol derivative + chitosan thiol modifier + pectin): silk fibroin provides film-forming mechanical strength to form a continuous protective film covering the ulcer surface; chitosan thiol modifier enhances adhesion while assisting in antibiosis; pectin assists adhesion through hydrogen bonds, and the four work together to form a firm, biocompatible adhesive film, thereby prolonging the drug retention time. (3) Poloxamer 407: the warm-sensitive property facilitates drug administration, and after contacting the wound, the drug is quickly solidified and locked, while providing a cooling sensation to relieve pain. (4) Ascorbyl palmitate: antioxidant, scavenges free radicals in the system, protecting active ingredients from oxidative degradation. (5) Glycerol: humectant, maintains a moist environment on the ulcer surface, which is conducive to epithelial cell migration and repair, and prevents the drug film from drying out and falling off. (6) Menthol-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex: inclusion technology masks the bitter taste and releases menthol to provide a cooling sensation, improving the drug experience. (7) Phosphate buffer: simulates the physiological pH of the oral cavity, reducing the irritation of the drug to the ulcer wound.
[0037] Four, in the trimethyl chitosan-fucoidan complex, the volume ratio of trimethyl chitosan to fucoidan is 1: (0.4-0.6), which balances the positive charge of trimethyl chitosan with the negative charge of fucoidan to form a neutral gel; the complex at this ratio can bind to the mucosa through hydrogen bonds, reducing the loss of saliva flushing, and providing microcarrier support for long-acting drug effects.
[0038] Five, in the drug preparation method: ice water bath inhibits the premature gelation of poloxamer 407, ensuring uniform mixing of adjuvants and matrix, and avoiding local concentration unevenness; high-speed stirring ensures that the carrier, complex and other high molecular adjuvants are fully dissolved and dispersed to form a uniform matrix; finally, low-speed stirring avoids the destruction of the molecular structure of lactoferrin peptide and Brazilian Bego extract at high rotation speed, protecting their biological activity; low-temperature standing naturally eliminates system bubbles, avoiding bubbles in the drug film leading to poor adhesion, and low temperature reduces the degradation of active ingredients, ensuring the stability of the drug system.

[0143]
[0144] Table 2 Test Results (Continued)
[0145]
[0146] From the above results, the drugs of Examples 1 to 3 achieve a comprehensive balance of safety, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, sustained release adhesion and healing promotion by optimizing the component ratio and complex structure.
[0147] Comparative Example 1 (spironolactone 2.2%, Brazilian Beggiaea extract 0.5%): Spironolactone, as a polyphenolic antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredient, relies on uniform dispersion in an aqueous solution for its effect. When the concentration is increased from 1.5% in Example 1 to 2.2%, it is easy to form aggregates with lactoferrin peptides in the system, which also have a hydrophobic structure, through hydrophobic interaction. This aggregate reduces the contact area of spironolactone with bacterial cell membranes and inflammatory cells. Brazilian Beggiaea extract contains active polypeptides that activate the epidermal growth factor receptor on the surface of HaCaT cells, promote protein phosphorylation, and then start the cell proliferation cycle. When the concentration of the extract is reduced from 1.2% to 0.5%, the polypeptide content is insufficient to effectively bind, resulting in blocked proliferation signaling and a decrease in the proliferation rate of epithelial cells. Excessive spironolactone molecules insert into the phospholipid bilayer of the red blood cell membrane, slightly damaging the membrane's fluidity and integrity, resulting in a small amount of hemoglobin leakage and a slight increase in hemolysis rate.
[0148] Comparative Example 2 (spironolactone 0.5%, Brazilian Beggiaea extract 2.2%): When the concentration of spironolactone is reduced to 0.5%, the number of molecules is insufficient to achieve an effective antibacterial concentration: for Staphylococcus aureus, oral Streptococcus, and other gram-positive bacteria, it cannot increase membrane permeability by damaging the lipoteichoic acid structure on the cell membrane; for Candida albicans, it also cannot effectively inhibit the synthesis of chitin in the cell wall. At the same time, low concentrations of flavonoids cannot effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by RAW264.7 cells after activation by LPS, and the accumulation of ROS will further activate the NF-κB pathway, leading to a significant increase in the release of TNF-α and IL-6. When the concentration of Brazilian Beggiaea extract is increased to 2.2%, the osmotic pressure of the system increases (polypeptide components are one of the main contributors to osmotic pressure), and red blood cells will undergo dehydration and shrinkage in a high-osmotic environment, with decreased membrane stability; in addition, excessive polypeptides will non-specifically bind to receptors on the surface of HaCaT cells, competing with EGFR binding sites and inhibiting normal proliferation signaling, resulting in a decrease in the proliferation rate of epithelial cells.
[0149] Comparative Example 3 (trimethyl chitosan-fucoidan complex 2%): Trimethyl chitosan (positively charged) and fucoidan (sulfate group-containing, negatively charged) form a nanogel network through electrostatic interaction, and the concentration directly determines the compactness of the network structure. The 6.5% complex concentration in Example 1 forms a dense network that can effectively encapsulate active ingredients such as purslane flavonoids; when the concentration is reduced to 2%, the network pore size expands, and the connection force between the network nodes weakens. The amino groups (-NH2) and hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the surface of the complex form hydrogen bonds with the carboxyl groups (-COOH) and hydroxyl groups on the surface of the oral mucosa epithelial cells. Reducing the concentration reduces the number of hydrogen bond binding sites per unit area, and the binding strength of the complex to the mucosa decreases. Under the continuous flushing of artificial saliva, the drug is easily detached from the mucosal surface, and the mucosal retention rate is greatly reduced.
[0150] Comparative Example 4 (trimethyl chitosan instead of complex): Trimethyl chitosan alone can only form a loose linear aggregation structure through intermolecular van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds, lacking the strong electrostatic crosslinking between the sulfate groups of fucoidan and the quaternary ammonium groups, and cannot form a stable three-dimensional gel network. This loose structure is easily dissociated in the release liquid, resulting in a large amount of drug release in a short time. The binding of trimethyl chitosan alone to the mucosa relies only on the hydrogen bonding between the amino groups and the glycoproteins, and the binding force is much weaker than that of the complex gel, resulting in a decrease in the mucosal retention rate.
[0151] Comparative Example 5 (trimethyl chitosan powder + fucoidan powder instead of complex): In the preparation process of the complex in Example 1, ultrasonic treatment allows the two polysaccharide molecules to fully disperse and form a nanoscale mixed system, and the subsequent addition of sodium tripolyphosphate further promotes crosslinking to form a dense gel; while the direct mixing of powders has not been subjected to ultrasonic and crosslinking treatment, and is only a macroscopic physical mixture, the polysaccharide molecules have not been fully contacted, and the electrostatic interaction is limited to the surface of the powder, and a uniform nanogel network cannot be formed.
[0152] Comparative Example 6 (complex preparation volume ratio 1:1.5): In Example 1, when the volume ratio of trimethyl chitosan to fucoidan is 1:0.5, the ratio of positive and negative charges is close to 1:1, forming a neutral complex gel, the system has the highest viscosity, and the network structure is the most stable; when the volume ratio changes to 1:1.5, the excess of fucoidan leads to an excess of negative charges, making it difficult for polysaccharide molecules to form tight crosslinking due to electrostatic repulsion. Excess fucoidan exists in the gel network in the form of free chains, which hinders the encapsulation of active ingredients and promotes the diffusion of drug molecules in the release liquid, resulting in accelerated drug release. At the same time, the excess of negative charges in the complex produces electrostatic repulsion with the mucosal epithelial cells also carrying negative charges, weakening the binding force and reducing the mucosal retention rate.
[0153] Comparative Example 7 (high adhesion biomimetic carrier 5%): The high adhesion biomimetic carrier is composed of silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid-thiol derivative, chitosan thiol modifier and pectin, and its adhesion performance depends on the formation of a continuous film structure: silk fibroin provides the mechanical strength of the film, hyaluronic acid-thiol derivative and chitosan thiol modifier bind to the mucosa through disulfide bonds of thiol groups, and pectin assists adhesion through hydrogen bonds. When the concentration decreases from 10.0% to 5%, the carrier cannot form a continuous and complete film on the mucosa surface, and the performance decreases. The discontinuity of the film leads to the exposure of the drug to the saliva flushing environment, and the insufficient number of thiol groups (the concentration of thiol groups is positively correlated with the concentration of the carrier), and the reduction of disulfide bond binding sites with the mucosa, which have a dual effect of greatly reducing the mucosal retention rate; in addition, the discontinuous film structure cannot effectively hinder the diffusion of the drug, resulting in accelerated drug release.
[0154] Comparative Example 8 (hyaluronic acid instead of hyaluronic acid-thiol derivative): Hyaluronic acid-thiol derivative binds to the cystine residues in the keratin of the oral mucosa epithelial cell surface through thiol groups. After being replaced by ordinary hyaluronic acid, the binding of the carrier to the mucosa only depends on hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, and under the continuous flushing of artificial saliva, the hydrogen bonds are easily broken, resulting in a decrease in the mucosal retention rate.
[0155] Comparative Example 9 (chitosan instead of chitosan thiol modifier): Chitosan thiol modifier can form a more stable three-dimensional network structure with the thiol groups of hyaluronic acid-thiol derivative, enhancing the mechanical strength and drug wrapping capacity of the carrier. Ordinary chitosan has no thiol groups, and the network structure of the carrier is relatively loose. The binding of ordinary chitosan to the mucosa only depends on the hydrogen bond interaction between the amino groups and glycoproteins, resulting in a decrease in the mucosal retention rate.
[0156] Comparative Example 10 (hyaluronic acid + chitosan instead of two thiol derivatives): After the absence of hyaluronic acid-thiol derivative and chitosan thiol modifier, the binding of the carrier to the mucosa only depends on the hydrogen bond interaction of ordinary hyaluronic acid and chitosan, and the binding force is extremely weak, which is easily detached under the flushing of saliva, and the mucosal retention rate greatly decreases.
