Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer latent fragrance technology, and in particular to a pH / GSH dual-responsive polymer latent fragrance, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Fragrances are functional aromatic compounds that produce pleasant scents in the air, making them popular with people. The most abundant components of fragrances are terpenes and aromatic and aliphatic derivatives, including carbohydrates, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, and ketones. These are the sources of the aromatic and biological properties of aromatic and medicinal plants. Research has confirmed that fragrances possess broad-spectrum antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Their active ingredients exert antibacterial effects through mechanisms such as disrupting microbial cell membranes, inhibiting biofilm formation, and interfering with metabolic enzyme activity. Currently, fragrances are widely used in natural food preservation, medical antibacterial dressings, and the development of daily chemical products. Their anti-biofilm properties offer new insights into addressing antibiotic resistance.
[0003] Late fragrance compounds originate from the concept of "prodrugs" in drug delivery, but differ in molecular release, control conditions, and application targets. Late fragrance compounds are a class of precursor compounds that can control fragrance release by breaking covalent or hydrogen bonds under everyday environmental conditions such as light, pH changes, and hydrolysis. Late fragrance compounds consist of three key components: a non-volatile matrix, environmentally responsive chemical bonds, and the target fragrance. The non-volatile matrix fixes the fragrance through intermolecular forces, and surface modification enhances system stability. Environmentally responsive chemical bonds (such as acid-sensitive and photosensitizing bonds) act as smart switches, breaking under specific conditions to achieve release. The fragrance molecule is bonded to the matrix through functional groups, ensuring storage stability and precise fragrance release in a predetermined environment. This modular design gives latent fragrance compounds intelligent controlled-release properties, making them widely used in the fields of sustained-release fragrances and functional materials.
[0004] Bacterial infections cause significant changes in their surrounding environment, including increased levels of bacterial secreted enzymes and a decrease in the pH of the microenvironment due to acidic metabolites. During rapid bacterial growth, an acidic environment (pH 5.5-6.5) is created, and glutathione (GSH), a widely present compound in bacterial infections, plays a crucial role in bacterial survival and function. In bacterial infections, GSH not only acts as an antioxidant, helping to scavenge reactive oxygen species and protect bacteria from oxidative stress, but also participates in various biological processes, including the regulation of gene expression and biofilm formation.
[0005] To date, there are no commercially viable pH / GSH dual-responsive polymeric latent fragrance nanomicelles for the fragrance and flavor industry to address the trade-off between fragrance stability and controlled release. Furthermore, there are no existing examples of using latent fragrance technology to target bacterial microenvironment responses for antibacterial effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a polymeric latent fragrance preparation technology and products capable of achieving precise fragrance release and effective antibacterial properties.
[0006] Chinese patent CN119591806A discloses a pH-responsive polymer nanomicelle, its preparation method, and its applications. Based on polyethylene glycol and diisopropylamine units, the pH-responsive polymer nanomicelle forms tightly packed nanomicelles during storage to protect fragrances, fundamentally solving the problem of poor fragrance stability. During use, due to its precise on / off performance, the tightly packed nanomicelles depolymerize below the critical pH, achieving controlled fragrance release. It also exhibits excellent versatility, meeting the requirements for precise release of different fragrances under varying environmental conditions, and is suitable for a variety of fragrance products, including hydrophilic daily cosmetics, cleaning products, and indoor air fresheners.

[0034] In addition, the present invention also provides the application of a pH / GSH dual-responsive polymer latent fragrance in the preparation of bacterial microenvironment controlled-release fragrance.
[0035] Furthermore, the bacterial microenvironment controlled-release fragrance is suitable for use in medical devices and wound dressings to achieve antibacterial purposes.
[0036] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The pH / GSH dual-responsive polymer latent fragrance provided by the present invention has ultra-sensitive switching performance and can be used for stable storage and precise controlled release of alcohol and phenolic fragrances. The present invention not only improves the stability and selectivity of amphiphilic block polymer latent fragrances, but also improves their high sensitivity and precise controlled release performance as nanomicelles.
[0037] 2. The method for preparing pH / GSH dual-responsive polymeric fragrance nanomicelles provided by the present invention prepares compact nano-sized micelles by solvent evaporation, which can both release alcohols and phenolic fragrances by breaking covalent bonds and provide a basis for encapsulating active substances.
[0038] 3. The pH / GSH dual-responsive polymer latent fragrance provided by this invention is applicable to the application of various alcohol or phenolic fragrances, and is also applicable to the fields of medical devices and wound dressings.
[0039] 4. A pH / GSH dual-responsive polymeric fragrance compound based on polyethylene glycol units, diisopropylamino units, and disulfide bond linkage units forms tight nanomicelles in aqueous solution, effectively protecting the fragrance and fundamentally solving the problem of poor fragrance stability. During use, due to its precise dual-response switching performance, the nanomicelles depolymerize and the disulfide bonds break only under conditions below the critical pH and in the presence of GSH, achieving precise control over fragrance release. Furthermore, this polymeric fragrance compound exhibits excellent versatility, meeting the needs for precise release of alcohol and phenolic fragrances under various environmental conditions. Utilizing its antibacterial properties, this fragrance compound can be applied in fields such as medical devices and wound dressings.
[0040] 5. This invention improves the stability and selectivity of amphiphilic block polymers, and also enhances their high sensitivity and precise controlled-release performance as nano-fragrance molecules. The polyethylene glycol unit improves the polymer's hydrophilicity and stability; the diisopropylamine unit enables the polymer to switch on and off under specific pH conditions, meeting its structural requirements for pH switching; the disulfide bond linking unit is covalently linked to a specific fragrance to meet the GSH response requirement, further improving its stability. In the bacterial microenvironment (pH and GSH), protonation causes the micelle core to change from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, leading to micelle depolymerization and exposing the disulfide bond linking units of the antibacterial fragrance molecule. Under the action of glutathione, the disulfide bonds break, releasing the antibacterial fragrance molecule, thereby achieving controlled-release sterilization and possessing enormous potential for medical applications.
[0041] 6. This invention, based on the physical coating technology of Chinese patent CN119591806A, makes a fundamental improvement: upgrading the loading method of fragrance from physical coating to covalent chemical bonding via disulfide bonds. This key change brings significant beneficial effects. First, the chemical bond energy is much higher than the physical force, significantly enhancing the thermal stability of fragrance molecules during processing and storage, effectively preventing non-target leakage. Second, the disulfide bond, as a "smart switch," has its cleavage strictly dependent on specific reducing stimuli (such as specific biological environments), thus achieving precise and controllable release behavior and avoiding problems such as initial burst release and incomplete sustained release caused by diffusion-driven release in traditional physical coating technologies. Therefore, this invention overcomes the shortcomings of the physical coating system in the comparative patent, which suffers from high environmental sensitivity and insufficient reliability of controlled release, achieving significant improvements in the targeting, stability, and efficiency of release.

[0073] Figure 2 and Figure 3 The figures show the 1H NMR spectrum and gel permeation chromatogram of PEG-PND-SSC (the compound shown in Formula I'-8-2) prepared in Example 2. The figures demonstrate the successful preparation of PEG-PND-SSC, with a molecular weight of 17402 and a PDI of 1.5.
[0074] Figure 4This is a particle size and particle size distribution diagram of the PEG-PND-SSC (compound shown in Formula I'-8-2) nanomicelles prepared in Example 2. The diagram shows that PEG-PND-SSC forms nanomicelles of 50.9 ± 0.49 nm in aqueous solution, indicating that the polymeric fragrance has a certain degree of stability in aqueous solution.
[0075] Figure 5 The figures show the thermogravimetric TGA (TGA) graphs of PEG-PND-SSC (the compound shown in Formula I'-8-2), PEG-PND-SSOH (the compound shown in Formula I'-7), and cinnamyl alcohol prepared in Example 2. As can be seen from the graphs, the polymeric latent fragrance enhances the thermal stability of cinnamyl alcohol while also exhibiting stable loading performance, indicating that the polymeric latent fragrance possesses excellent versatility and fragrance loading capacity.
[0076] Figure 6 This is a cinnamyl alcohol release curve of PEG-PND-SSC (the compound shown in Formula I'-8-2) prepared in Example 2 in different pH and GSH buffer solutions (pH=7.4, pH=6, and 5mM GSH). As can be seen from the figure, below the critical pH and in the presence of GSH, the protonation behavior of the polymer nanomicelles leads to micelle depolymerization and disulfide bond breakage, resulting in rapid cinnamyl alcohol release, with a release rate as high as 65% after 6 hours. However, under neutral conditions without GSH, the cinnamyl alcohol release rate in the micelle state is extremely low. This indicates that the micelles formed by the polymer latent fragrance components have excellent fragrance release performance.

As can be seen from the figures, the antibacterial properties of PEG-PND-SSG are significantly better than those of geraniol. This indicates that, at the same equivalence, the polymeric aromatic compound possesses excellent antibacterial properties.
