TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of oral treatment, in particular to an intelligent feedback drug delivery system for antibacterial treatment in oral environment and a preparation method thereof. The system is suitable for antibacterial treatment of oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontal disease, dental caries, etc., and can adjust drug release according to changes in the acidic environment of the oral cavity BACKGROUND
[0002] Oral inflammation (such as gingivitis, periodontitis, etc.) is usually accompanied by the formation of a local acidic environment with a pH range of 5.0-6.5. This acidic environment leads to inaccurate drug release from traditional drug delivery systems, often resulting in excessive drug release or short-lasting drug efficacy. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an intelligent drug delivery system that can precisely regulate drug release in a specific acidic microenvironment. Although there are a variety of materials systems on the market for oral wound repair or filling, they still have certain deficiencies in actual application, especially in terms of antibacterial effect, environmental responsiveness, and long-term stability.
[0003] For example, patent CN112190770B (degradable tooth extraction wound filling composition and preparation method and application thereof) discloses a composition containing calcium stearate, alginic acid / chitosan complex, bioactive glass, tocopherol acetate, etc., for filling the wound after tooth extraction. Although this scheme can effectively provide filling and repair support for the wound, the excessive use of mineral powders may cause oral discomfort, and the biocompatibility of the material is poor. In addition, the antibacterial release and environmental responsiveness of the material have not been fully optimized, which may affect its long-term therapeutic effect. Patent CN114539361B (gel for hemostasis and promotion of new bone regeneration in alveolar fossa after tooth extraction) proposes a scheme for constructing a gel structure using L-type fiber supramolecules and calcium ion solution, focusing on hemostasis and bone regeneration functions. Although the gel can effectively promote bone regeneration, it does not design for the acidic microenvironment of the oral cavity, drug-loaded antibacterial release, and response mechanism, limiting its application in the oral environment and failing to achieve higher-order drug delivery functions.
[0004] In addition, there are also some membrane materials, gels, hydrogels, etc. carriers for oral wound repair on the market. Patent CN103007338A (temperature-sensitive hydrogel or solvent-sensitive gel) introduces a material that changes its release and adhesion by changing the temperature or solvent to change the gel form. Although this technology has certain environmental responsiveness, its antibacterial property and stability are poor, especially in complex oral environments, which can easily lead to bacterial growth or unstable treatment effect.
[0005] Patent CN105031747A (absorbable tooth extraction wound care composition) proposes a mixture of absorbable biopolymer material and mineral powder for tooth extraction wound repair. Although this composition can effectively promote the initial wound healing, but due to the excessive mineral composition, it may lead to too long setting time. In addition, the high concentration of minerals may cause oral discomfort or irritation, affecting the comfort of patients, and even interfering with the normal healing process of the surrounding tissue of the wound.
[0006] Patent CN105688288A (collagen-based composite oral repair membrane material) introduces a composite membrane material formed by collagen cross-linking modification and self-assembly, which can be used for wound repair. Although the repair film has good biocompatibility and certain repair function, its preparation process is complex and the cost is high, which limits its wide application.
[0007] Patent CN103920192A (bioactive factor-loaded temperature-sensitive composite gel carrier) proposes a composite gel carrier, which promotes bone regeneration through the synergistic effect of adiponectin, calcium ions and calcined bone powder and other bioactive factors. Although the gel has certain bioactive factor release function, it fails to optimize for the particularity of oral environment, and the main defect is the insufficient antibacterial property.
[0008] Patent CN201580084926 (oral antibacterial gel and its preparation method) introduces an oral antibacterial gel, the formula of which includes deionized water, peroxide urine and oat anti-allergic agent, which can disinfect and keep the mouth fresh. Although the gel has certain antibacterial effect, but its antibacterial property and drug release property still have great deficiencies, and with the degradation of the gel, the antibacterial effect will weaken rapidly, which is difficult to continuously and effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity.
[0009] Patent CN201611254353A (hydrogel for treating pediatric oral ulcers) proposes a hydrogel for pediatric oral ulcers, which contains mussel soft tissue extract, honey and vitamin ingredients. The hydrogel can promote the healing of oral ulcers, but lacks antibacterial function and cannot effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity, affecting the healing of ulcers.
[0010] Patent CN103457107A (bifunctional layer oral repair membrane) proposes a composite membrane material containing a loose porous layer and a dense antibacterial layer. The membrane can be used for the protection of oral wounds, but its effect is limited, and it fails to dynamically adjust the drug release according to the changes of oral environment.
[0011] Patent CN103007338A (Application of Temperature-Sensitive Hydrogels) proposes a hydrogel whose gel morphology can be adjusted by temperature changes, which can be used for the treatment of oral trauma. Although it has a certain degree of environmental responsiveness, it lacks long-lasting antibacterial properties and sustained drug release capabilities, and its stability in the complex oral environment is insufficient, affecting the effectiveness of practical applications.
[0012] In summary, while existing technologies have made some progress in oral wound repair and drug delivery, many problems remain unresolved, particularly in areas such as "intelligent feedback, environmental response, antibacterial release, and stable wound retention." Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new drug delivery system that can precisely trigger drug release in the acidic environment of oral inflammation, while also possessing higher biocompatibility and targeting capabilities. Summary of the Invention:
[0013] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to prepare a microencapsulation system (SBMA-ALG-PLL) that responds to the oral microenvironment using sodium alginate (ALG), ε-polylysine (PLL), methacrylyl sulfobetaine (SBMA), and the target drug as raw materials; and simultaneously, to rapidly prepare an in-situ adhesive, sprayable oral antibacterial dressing using CMC and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as raw materials, which ultimately encapsulates SBMA-ALG-PLL, thereby achieving controllable drug delivery in the inflammatory environment of the oral cavity.
