Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a shape-keeping Evogeneik freeze-dried powder preparation and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Evogeneik generally refers to a freeze-dried recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor for external use. The main functions and effects of Evogeneik are to promote wound healing, improve second-degree burns, treat chronic ulcer wounds, relieve bedsores and treat diabetic ulcers. Evogeneik can promote wound healing and generally does not irritate the skin and mucous membrane tissue. When the skin is second-degree burned, it may cause redness and pain, and Evogeneik can be used to treat the symptoms and reduce pain, so that the burn gradually recovers. If there is a chronic ulcer wound, Evogeneik can also be used to treat the condition and effectively control the development of the disease. Evogeneik also has good effects on treating bedsores and can effectively inhibit the further aggravation of skin ulceration and relieve skin pain, blistering and other phenomena. If a person has a history of diabetes and does not receive timely sugar control treatment, skin ulcers may occur, mainly in the lower limbs and feet. Timely use of Evogeneik can inhibit the disease; The active ingredient of Evogeneik is recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor. Fibroblast growth factor (FGFs) is a multifunctional powerful cytokine, which is a kind of polypeptide growth factor that has mitogenic differentiation activity on multiple types of cells derived from mesoderm and neural ectoderm, including recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and multiple members. Fibroblast growth factor can promote the growth and proliferation of skin tissue. It regulates the division, proliferation and growth and differentiation of skin epithelial, endothelial and stromal cells by combining with specific receptors on the cell surface, promotes cell metabolism and enhances oxidation. It can promote the rapid growth and proliferation of cells related to skin damage, regulate the synthesis, secretion and decomposition of intercellular matrix, promote the regeneration of keratinocytes, accelerate the repair of the keratin layer and the stromal layer of the skin, promote the growth of human skin cells, enhance the synthesis of protein and cell metabolism of skin cells, delay skin cell aging, and promote the repair and growth of epidermal cells.

[0003] The commercially available fibroblast growth factor includes a lyophilized preparation of recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor (rh-aFGF) and an eye drop, a gel and the like of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF or FGF-2), wherein the lyophilized preparation of rh-aFGF is a solid white or white-like loose solid, a solvent matched with the lyophilized preparation of rh-aFGF is poured into a vial containing the lyophilized preparation of rh-aFGF, the medicine liquid is directly sprayed on the wound after debridement after shaking, or a sterile gauze of an appropriate size is covered on the wound, the medicine liquid is uniformly added to the gauze, and the wound is appropriately bandaged, so that the skin wound can be quickly and efficiently healed, and the lyophilized preparation is suitable for the quick repair of various skin microtraumas.

[0004] In the previous preparation screening process, the inventor found that the conventional lyophilized preparation of recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor can maintain a certain overall state after the completion of lyophilization in a freeze-drying workshop, but the overall state of the lyophilized preparation is difficult to maintain under vibration conditions or during the machine transportation from the freeze-drying workshop to the packaging workshop, and the lyophilized preparation is broken and in a powder state, and the medicine powder is easily rubbed with the packaging bottle to generate static electricity, so that the powder is further adsorbed and agglomerated in the packaging bottle, and the use of the medicine is affected.
