Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of infant skin care preparations, specifically relating to a low-irritation comfrey oil nanoliposome, a diaper rash preparation, and its application in infant diaper rash. Background Technology
[0002] Diaper dermatitis is one of the most common skin problems in infants aged 0-36 months, with an incidence rate of 50%-65%. Its pathogenesis is mainly related to prolonged contact with urine and feces, as well as the skin barrier damage, microbial imbalance, and inflammatory response caused by the enclosed environment of the diaper. Currently, zinc oxide paste or petrolatum-based ointments are routinely used clinically for isolation and protection. However, these preparations are thick, have poor breathability, easily clog pores, and increase friction damage. Furthermore, they lack the ability to rapidly repair existing acute inflammation such as erythema and erosion.
[0003] Comfrey oil, rich in naphthoquinone active ingredients such as shikonin and acetylshikonin, possesses anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and healing-promoting effects and has been used as a traditional topical medicine for mild skin injuries. However, existing comfrey oil preparations mostly use petrolatum, lanolin, or a simple ethanol-glycerin system, which has the following shortcomings: ① Shikonin has low solubility and is easily oxidized and degraded, with a bioavailability of <30%; ② The base is greasy and has strong occlusive properties, which can easily aggravate irritation in the warm and humid environment of the diaper area; ③ It lacks the ability to regulate the skin microecology of sensitive infants; ④ Traditional application methods require repeated rubbing, which can easily cause secondary damage.
[0004] There are many comfrey oil-based preparations for diaper rash care in infants, but they all have drawbacks to varying degrees. These include low retention of active ingredients, poor bioavailability, high irritation to delicate infant skin, inconvenient application leading to secondary damage, and an inability to simultaneously address both prevention and acute intervention needs. Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for a novel delivery system that retains the core efficacy of comfrey oil while also being low-irritant, providing rapid repair, being easy to use, and capable of regulating the skin's microecology, to meet the dual needs of diaper rash prevention and acute intervention in sensitive infants aged 0-36 months. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the main objective of this invention is to provide a low-irritation comfrey oil nanoliposome, which uses bio-decolorized comfrey oil as the core active ingredient and encapsulates it into nano-sized liposomes using a chitosan oligosaccharide-ceramide binary membrane material, significantly improving the stability, skin adhesion and bioavailability of the active ingredient; at the same time, a prebiotic skin flora regulator, a pH 5.5 weakly acidic buffer system and microencapsulated menthol are added to achieve multiple effects such as rapid film formation, immediate itch relief, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, barrier repair and microecological regulation.
[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a diaper rash treatment containing the aforementioned low-irritant comfrey oil nanoliposomes. The spray method avoids secondary damage caused by friction during application. Clinical trials have shown that continuous use for 3 days reduces the erythema area in children with mild to moderate diaper rash by 82.4%, with no adverse reactions such as allergic reactions or burning pain.

[0045] The preparation method is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the microjet pressure is increased to 1000 bar and cyclicated 5 times, while the other steps are the same.
[0046] The obtained liposomes had an average particle size of 107 nm, a PDI of 0.13, a Zeta potential of -31 mV, and an encapsulation efficiency of 90.5%, meeting the preset requirements and suitable for severe diaper rash or those requiring rapid relief.
[0047] Example 3
[0048] In this embodiment, low-irritant comfrey oil nanoliposomes were prepared based on 100 g of final product. The formulation was as follows: 0.5 g of bio-decolorized comfrey oil, 0.6 g of chitosan oligosaccharide, 0.4 g of ceramide NP, 0.225 g of fructooligosaccharide, 0.075 g of inulin, 0.48 g of lactic acid, 0.32 g of sodium lactate, 0.05 g of microencapsulated menthol, and the balance being sterile water for injection.

[0051] Example 4
[0052] This embodiment uses 100g of final product as a basis to prepare low-irritant comfrey oil nanoliposomes. Based on the formulation of Example 1, 0.1g of vitamin E acetate and 0.1g of sodium hyaluronate are added. The remaining components and dosages are the same as in Example 1.
[0053] Preparation method: Vitamin E acetate was dissolved together with comfrey oil and film material in the oil phase of S1; sodium hyaluronate was added in the aqueous phase of S2 and fully swollen at 50°C. The remaining steps were completely consistent with those in Example 1.
[0054] The resulting product underwent an accelerated 60℃ test for 14 days, and the shikonin retention rate was 94%, significantly improving the stability of the active ingredients while enhancing moisturizing and repairing effects.
[0055] Example 5
[0056] This embodiment uses 100g of final product as a basis to prepare low-irritant comfrey oil nanoliposomes. Based on the formulation of Example 1, the prebiotics are adjusted to 0.45g of fructooligosaccharide and 0.15g of inulin (mass ratio 3:1, total amount 0.60g). The remaining components and quality grades are completely consistent with those of Example 1.
[0057] The preparation method is the same as in Example 1. The resulting liposomes have an average particle size of 104 nm, a PDI of 0.11, and an encapsulation rate of 91.8%, which can further amplify the effect of microecological regulation and reduce the risk of diaper rash recurrence.
[0058] Example 6: Preparation of a diaper rash spray formulation
[0059] Take the low-irritation comfrey oil nanoliposome filtrate from Example 1, fill it into a three-layer co-extruded light-proof PET bottle under Class A laminar flow and nitrogen positive pressure of 0.05 MPa, and equip it with a disposable metal-free spring micro metering pump, a silicone one-way valve and a safety lock cap, with a filling volume of 10 mL / bottle, to obtain the buttock-protecting spray formulation.
[0060] The resulting product has a single spray volume of 0.12-0.15 mL, an average droplet diameter (D32) of 35-45 μm, and a spray angle of 45°-60°, which can evenly cover 10 cm² of skin. The silicone one-way valve opens at a pressure of 0.05-0.08 MPa and closes within 0.5 seconds after use to prevent external contamination. The bottle's oxygen permeability is ≤0.1 cm³ / (m²·day), which can effectively inhibit the oxidative degradation of shikonin and improve product stability.
[0061] Example 7: Preparation of a diaper rash ointment formulation
[0062] Take the low-irritation comfrey oil nanoliposomes from Example 12, add 8-10 times the amount of medical petrolatum and lanolin matrix, stir in a 60°C water bath until uniform, cool to room temperature, and dispense into sterile ointment tubes to obtain the diaper rash ointment formulation.
[0063] Example 8: Preparation of a diaper rash gel formulation
[0064] Take the low-irritant comfrey oil nanoliposomes from Example 3, add carbomer, glycerin and other gel matrices, stir and swell, adjust the pH to 5.5 with triethanolamine, stir evenly, sterilize and filter, and dispense into sterile gel tubes to obtain the buttock-protecting gel formulation.
[0065] Example 9: Scale-up preparation
[0066] The formulation of Example 1 was scaled up 500 times, with a total formulation of 500 kg: 6.00 kg of bio-decolorized comfrey oil, 6.67 kg of chitosan oligosaccharide, 3.33 kg of ceramide NP, 0.90 kg of fructooligosaccharide, 0.60 kg of inulin, 3.10 kg of lactic acid, 1.90 kg of sodium lactate, 0.40 kg of microencapsulated menthol, and 477.10 kg of water for injection.
[0067] Preparation method: Microjet pressure was 1000 bar for 4 cycles, followed by freeze-thaw cycles for 3 cycles, and filtration through a 0.22 μm polyethersulfone membrane. Particle size was monitored online using DLS. The inter-batch particle size RSD was 2.1%, the encapsulation efficiency RSD was 1.8%, and the pH change was 0.05 units, all meeting GMP release standards. Nitrogen-filled 50 mL metal-free pump bottles were used, with a spray volume of 0.15 g per bottle and a droplet size of 3244 μm. The batch-scale inhibition zones, 24-hour release curves, and clinical trial results showed no statistically significant differences compared to Example 1 (P>0.05), demonstrating the feasibility of linear scale-up and meeting the requirements for commercial production.
[0068] Example 10: Stability Test
[0069] The diaper rash spray formulation prepared in Example 6 was subjected to extreme temperature cycling stability tests and accelerated stability tests, respectively:
[0070] 1. Extreme temperature cycling test: The finished product was placed at -20℃ to 40℃ for 10 cycles, 12 hours each time, for a total of 20 days. The results showed that the product had a clear appearance, pH 5.52→5.48, particle size 102→104nm, encapsulation efficiency 92.3→91.8%, and antibacterial activity maintained >99%, with all indicators changing by Δ<5%, meeting the ICHQ1A stability requirements.
[0071] 2. Accelerated stability test: The same batch of liquid was filled into a metal-free spring micro metering pump (experimental group) and a traditional 304 stainless steel spring pump (control group), and placed at 40℃ / 75%RH for 4 weeks. The results showed that the shikonin content in the experimental group decreased by 3%, with no significant changes in appearance, particle size, or spray performance; while the shikonin content in the control group decreased by 18%, the droplet size increased, visible oxide particles appeared, and the spray performance decreased significantly, proving that the metal-free design can significantly improve the long-term stability of the product.
