[0004] The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition, a drug-loaded rod core, an implant, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0005] An implantable drug delivery system (IDDS) is a drug delivery system that can stably release drugs to specific sites of action. Its primary advantage is that it delivers drugs at a sustained, stable rate, requiring less drug to treat the disease, thus significantly reducing drug toxicity and side effects for better therapeutic outcomes. An implantable drug delivery system can reduce the frequency of drug administration from once or several times a day to several months, once a year, or once every three to five years, minimizing side effects from frequent dosing and avoiding issues like first-pass and peak-valley effects associated with oral administration.
[0006] IDDS can be categorized primarily as solid drug-loaded implants, injectable implants, and implantable pumps, depending on the drug's form within the formulation and how it is administered. Solid drug-loaded implants, in which the drug is dispersed in a carrier material and surgically implanted in the form of columns, rods, pellets, or tablets, can be implanted subcutaneously or at a specific target site. They are currently the most widely used IDDS.
[0007] Solid drug-loaded implants offer the advantages of simple and convenient use, safe and stable carrier materials, and low cost. Furthermore, compared to solid drug-loaded implants that are implanted at specific target sites, subcutaneous implants are more technologically mature. Subcutaneous implants such as Norplant and Implanon have been used in contraceptive applications for decades, with proven safety and effectiveness.
[0008] Implantable drug delivery systems have a wide range of applications. Beyond the well-known contraceptive field, clinical trials are also gradually underway in other long-term medication areas. For example, in cancer treatment, the development of local implant technology has enabled many traditional anti-cancer drugs to find new uses. In HIV prevention and treatment, long-term implants can replace daily oral administration, preventing missed doses that could affect drug effectiveness. Furthermore, implantable drug delivery systems are also being used in the treatment of long-term medications such as diabetes, mental illnesses, addiction withdrawal, and cardiovascular disease, with promising future applications.
[0009] Traditional solid drug-loaded implants are primarily prepared by filling silicone tubes with drug powder. This slow filling process results in a large amount of drug adsorbed to the tube walls, resulting in drug waste and slow dispensing. Furthermore, these implants present a number of drawbacks in practical use, including severe burst release, poor drug release stability, and low production efficiency. Therefore, the development of a novel solid drug-loaded implant is urgently needed.
[0010] Summary of the Invention

[0256] S3: mixing the component B1 and the component B2 to obtain a mixture B;
[0257] S4: The mixture B is formed into a tube through an extrusion process, and then subjected to catalytic addition.
[0258] In the present invention, in the method 1 and the method 2, the reinforcing agent can be pretreated by conventional methods in the art, for example, drying at 100-210° C. for 1-24 hours, or drying at 130° C. for 18 hours.

[0260] In the present invention, in the method 1 and the method 2, the mixing step in S1 may be: wrapping the reinforcing agent with the R-vinyl silicone rubber, extruding the rubber into a thin layer using an open mill, and pressing the rubber into sheets.
[0261] In the present invention, in the method 1 and the method 2, the mixing step in S1 is preferably: kneading the R-vinyl silicone rubber and the reinforcing agent in a kneader at 30° C. for 30 minutes, and then taking them out; triangularly wrapping them on an open mill with a roller spacing of 1-10 mm (for example, 1 mm) and then rolling them into a sheet, and then leaving them for 18 hours to obtain the mixture A.
[0262] In the present invention, in the method 1 and the method 2, the mixture A can be placed in a desiccator at room temperature for 18-72 hours.
[0263] In the present invention, in the method 1, before the catalytic addition, the mixture B may be subjected to the following post-treatment: triangular thinning in an open mill for 4 to 6 times, and then uniformly cutting the material into sheets.

[0265] In the present invention, in the method 1, the catalytic addition step in S3 may be: subjecting the mixture B to a first sulfurization treatment and a second sulfurization treatment in sequence.
[0266] The temperature of the first vulcanization treatment may be 250-330°C, such as 270°C, 300°C or 330°C.
[0267] The time of the first vulcanization treatment may be 2-30 seconds, for example, 15 seconds.

[0269] The second vulcanization treatment may be performed for 0.1-5 min, for example, 2 min.
[0270] In the present invention, in the second method, the catalytic addition step in S4 can be as described above.
[0271] In the present invention, according to conventional techniques in the art, the inner diameter of the silicone tube is generally equal to the outer diameter of the rod core, and the outer diameter of the silicone tube is preferably 2.0-5.0 mm, such as 2.4 mm or 2.6 mm.
[0272] The length of the silicone tube is preferably 0.9-5 cm, for example, 0.9 cm, 1 cm, 1.9 cm, 2 cm, 2.9 cm, 3 cm, 3.9 cm, 4 cm, 4.4 cm or 5 cm.
[0273] The wall thickness of the silicone tube is preferably 0.2-0.5 mm, such as 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm or 0.5 mm.
[0274] In a specific embodiment, the outer diameter of the silicone tube is 2.4 mm, the length of the silicone tube is 0.9 cm, and the wall thickness of the silicone tube is 0.2 mm.
[0275] The present invention provides a method for preparing an implant, which comprises the following steps: filling the stick core into the silicone tube.
[0276] The present invention also provides an implant prepared by the above preparation method.
[0277] The present invention also provides an application of the stick core as a release rate regulating medium in a sustained-release preparation.
[0278] Implants are generally categorized as skeleton-type implants and reservoir-type implants. A skeleton-type implant is a drug formulation that is prepared by mixing a drug with a carrier and then, using a catalyst, a cross-linking agent, and high temperature, using extrusion or molding techniques to create a subcutaneous implant with defined mechanical properties. Reservoir-type implants are typically prepared by directly filling a silicone tube with the API or by encapsulating the skeleton-type implant.
[0279] In practical applications, many drugs require a daily release of milligrams or more to be effective (e.g., paliperidone, risperidone, ketotifen fumarate, celecoxib, and meloxicam). Because reservoir-type implants diffuse into the body through silicone tubes, their daily release is typically only tens of micrograms, making them difficult to meet the requirements for high-dose drug release. Frame-type implants offer advantages such as rapid and high-volume release, with daily drug release rates ranging from several to dozens of times greater than that of reservoir-type implants. However, their release is uneven, with a gradually decreasing release rate, resulting in unstable blood drug concentrations and even ineffectiveness.
[0280] In the prior art, the methods of adding pH regulators and punching holes in silicone tubes are usually used to increase the drug release rate, but the increase in drug release rate is not obvious, and it is difficult to achieve a drug release rate of milligrams per day.
[0281] In response to the defects of the prior art reservoir-type implants, which have a small release amount and high requirements for drug molecular weight and solubility, and the framework-type implants, which have uneven drug release, the present invention uses a pharmaceutical active ingredient with an average particle size of 1-1000 nm, which can significantly improve the solubility of the drug; and has better compatibility with silicone rubber. The resulting framework-type implant and reservoir-type implant have significantly increased release rates and stable drug release behavior. At the same time, the invention has a wide range of applications, is suitable for a variety of drugs, and can achieve large-dose stable release.
[0282] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions.
[0283] During the research and development process, the applicant creatively discovered that the average particle size of common active pharmaceutical ingredients is 2-180 μm. However, whether it is a skeleton-type implant or a reservoir-type implant, nano-sizing the active pharmaceutical ingredients can significantly increase their release rate in the release medium. At the same time, the compatibility of the active pharmaceutical ingredients with silicone rubber is further improved after nano-sizing, and more types of drugs are applicable.

[0435] The cleaning may be performed by soaking in ethanol and repeatedly rinsing with ethanol for 10-60 minutes, for example 15 minutes.
[0436] The swelling can be achieved by soaking the tube in petroleum ether for 1-2 minutes. Since the swollen silicone tube will quickly shrink and return to its original shape after being removed from the petroleum ether, the drug-loaded rod core must be quickly inserted into the silicone tube.

[0438] The curing can be carried out by standing at room temperature for 12-24 hours, for example 24 hours.

[0466] For another example, when the poorly soluble excipients are XDP3150 mesoporous silica and fumaric acid, the mass ratio thereof may be (0.01-100):1, preferably 9:1, 1.5:1 or 0.43:1.

[0470] In the present invention, the raw material composition and preparation method of the silicone tube can be as described above.
[0471] The present invention provides a method for preparing the reservoir-type implant, which comprises the following steps: cutting the silicone tube into segments, sealing one end with silicone, filling the powder-type medicine core, and sealing the other end with silicone to obtain the reservoir-type implant.
[0472] In the present invention, preferably, after being cut into segments, the length of the silicone tube is 0.4 cm longer than the drug-loaded segment.
[0473] In the present invention, preferably, the process of cleaning the silicone tube is also included before the filling.
[0474] The cleaning may be performed by soaking in ethanol and repeatedly rinsing with ethanol for 10-60 minutes, for example 15 minutes.
[0475] In the present invention, the sealing may further include a curing operation.
[0476] The curing can be carried out by standing at room temperature for 12-24 hours, for example 24 hours.
[0477] The present invention also provides a raw material composition of the drug-loaded rod core, and the use of the drug-loaded rod core or the reservoir-type implant as a release rate regulating medium in a sustained-release preparation.
[0478] As mentioned above, implants can be categorized as skeleton-type and reservoir-type. Reservoir-type implants offer the advantage of stable drug release, maintaining a steady zero-order release rate throughout the effective period (which can last for several years), maintaining stable blood drug concentrations and delivering excellent therapeutic effects. However, since the drug must diffuse into the body through the silicone tube, very high molecular weight and water solubility requirements are imposed. Only drugs with a molecular weight less than 800 and a solubility less than 10 mg / mL can be released. Even if drug release is possible, the dosage is very low, typically only tens of micrograms per day. This significantly limits the application of certain high-dose drugs, making them impractical.
[0479] The production process of skeleton-type implants is relatively simple, and they have the advantage of fast drug release. The daily drug release amount is several to dozens of times that of reservoir-type implants. However, their release is not smooth, and the drug release rate will gradually decrease, resulting in unstable blood drug concentration and even no drug effect.
[0480] In view of the defects of the existing reservoir-type implants in the art, such as high requirements for drug molecular weight and solubility, small release dose, and inability to meet the needs of large-dose drugs, and the defects of the skeleton-type implants in unstable drug release, causing fluctuations in blood drug concentration, poisoning, or ineffectiveness, the present invention also provides a hollow drug-loaded rod core, a preparation method, and an application thereof.
[0481] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions.
[0482] The present invention provides a hollow skeleton-type drug-loaded rod core, the raw material composition of which comprises the following components in parts by weight:
[0483] Active pharmaceutical ingredient: 1-1000 parts;
[0484] R-vinyl silicone rubber: 100 parts;

[0495] The methyl vinyl silicone rubber may be conventional methyl vinyl silicone rubber in the art, for example, methyl vinyl silicone rubber having a relative molecular weight of 100,000-800,000 g / mol.
[0496] In the present invention, the vinyl content in the R-vinyl silicone rubber is preferably 0.17-0.23 mol%, for example, 0.17 mol%, 0.18 mol%, 0.19 mol%, 0.20 mol%, 0.22 mol% or 0.23 mol%.
[0497] In the present invention, the hydrogen-containing silicone oil can be conventional hydrogen-containing silicone oil in the art, such as hydrogen-containing silicone oil purchased from Guangdong Guiye New Material Technology Co., Ltd.
[0498] In the present invention, the amount of the hydrogen-containing silicone oil can be 0.5-20 parts, preferably 1.2-6.3 parts, for example, 1.33 parts, 2 parts, 2.67 parts, 3 parts, 3.56 parts or 4.44 parts.
[0499] In the present invention, the content of Si-H groups (hydrogen content) in the hydrogen-containing silicone oil is preferably 0.5-1.5 mol%, such as 0.75 mol%, 0.8 mol%, 1.0 mol% or 1.2 mol%.
[0500] In the present invention, the molar ratio of Si-H groups in the hydrogen-containing silicone oil to vinyl groups in the R-vinyl silicone rubber is preferably (0.8-20):1, for example, 0.8:1, 1.0:1, 1.2:1, 1.5:1, 1.8:1, 2.0:1, 3.0:1, 4:1, 4.5:1, 5:1, 8:1, 10:1 or 15:1, preferably (3-8):1 or (3-6):1.
[0501] In the present invention, the raw material composition may optionally further include an inhibitor. The inhibitor may be a conventional inhibitor in the art capable of inhibiting the addition reaction between R-vinyl silicone rubber and hydrogen-containing silicone oil at room temperature, such as an acetylenic alcohol compound, a nitrogen-containing compound, or an organic peroxide, further such as methylbutynol, and further such as 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol.
[0502] In the present invention, the dosage of the inhibitor may be 0.000002-1 part, preferably 0.03-5 parts, more preferably 0.1-2.0 parts, such as 0.3-1.0 parts, and further such as 0.3 parts, 0.5 parts, 0.7 parts, 0.9 parts or 0.98 parts.
[0503] In the present invention, the catalyst may be a conventional catalyst in the art that can catalyze the addition reaction between R-vinyl silicone rubber and hydrogen-containing silicone oil, such as a rhodium catalyst, a palladium catalyst or a platinum catalyst, preferably a platinum catalyst.
[0504] The concentration of platinum in the platinum catalyst may be 10,000 ppm, which means that the mass concentration of platinum in the platinum catalyst is 10,000 parts per million.
[0505] In the present invention, the amount of the catalyst may be 0.000002-0.5 parts, such as 0.000005 parts, 0.00001 parts, 0.00002 parts, 0.00003 parts, 0.1 parts, 0.2 parts, 0.21 parts, 0.25 parts or 0.3 parts, preferably 0.03-0.3 parts, more preferably 0.1-0.3 parts.
[0506] In the present invention, the vulcanization principle of the two-component addition-type silicone rubber is as follows: the two-component addition-type room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber, for example, uses vinyl polydimethylsiloxane as the base polymer and hydrogen-containing silicone oil as the cross-linking agent. Under the catalytic action of a catalyst (such as a platinum catalyst), the vinyl group and the hydrogen group undergo a silylation reaction to form a cross-linked network structure. The cross-linked structure can control the release of drugs. The reaction formula is shown below.
[0507] After mixing with the cross-linking agent and catalyst, the raw rubber can react at room temperature. However, the mixing and processing of the rubber compound requires a certain amount of time. If the reactants are cured early during the operation, the desired shape and properties will not be obtained. This is especially true for addition-type silicone rubber. Therefore, it is generally required that the catalytic reaction has almost no effect before vulcanization (mixing at room temperature), and reacts rapidly when the vulcanization temperature is reached. The method of suppressing the reaction is usually to add an inhibitor. The inhibitor can form a certain form of complex with the platinum catalyst. The effective inhibitor can be placed with the rubber compound for a considerable period of time, and can only be vulcanized when heated to a certain vulcanization temperature. The more commonly used ones are acetylenic alcohol compounds, nitrogen-containing compounds, organic peroxides, etc. with good compatibility.
[0508] In the present invention, the active pharmaceutical ingredient is not particularly limited and can be a conventional sustained-release pharmaceutical ingredient in the art that requires long-term drug release, such as drugs used in the fields of contraception, schizophrenia, hormones, and anti-tumor.
[0509] In the present invention, the pharmaceutical active ingredient can be as described above.

[0541] In the present invention, the hydrogen content or Si-H group content in the hydrogen-containing silicone oil refers to the mole percentage, and the mole percentage of hydrogen content refers to the number of moles of hydrogen in every 100 moles of the hydrogen-containing silicone oil.
[0542] In the present invention, PHR refers to the mass parts of each specific component per 100 mass parts of R-vinyl silicone rubber (such as methyl vinyl silicone rubber).
[0543] In the present invention, the room temperature refers to 25°C±5°C.
[0544] On the basis of conforming to the common sense in this field, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be arbitrarily combined to obtain the preferred embodiments of the present invention.
[0545] The reagents and raw materials used in the present invention are commercially available.
[0546] The positive progress effect of the present invention is:
[0547] (1) Compared with the drug powder-reservoir implant, the reservoir-skeleton implant provided by the present invention can reduce drug loss and save drug costs; reduce the phenomenon of sudden release; release the drug more smoothly, control the release amount within the effective therapeutic window, and achieve long-term stable release; at the same time, accelerate production speed and improve production efficiency;
[0548] (2) Both the skeleton-type implant and the reservoir-skeleton-type implant provided by the present invention can be used as marketed preparations, for example, a levonorgestrel subcutaneous implant.
[0549] (3) The present invention utilizes active pharmaceutical ingredients with an average particle size of 1-1000 nm, which significantly improves drug solubility and enhances compatibility with silicone rubber. The resulting framework-type and reservoir-type implants exhibit significantly increased release rates. For example, the release rate of paliperidone from the present invention can be increased by 3-10 times compared to active pharmaceutical ingredients with conventional particle sizes.
[0550] (4) When the average particle size of paliperidone is 200-300 nm, its release rate can be increased by 4-8 times; when it is 300-400 nm, its release rate can be increased by 3-4 times; when it is 400-600 nm, its release rate can be increased by 2-3 times; when it is 800-900 nm, its release rate can be increased by 1-1.2 times.

The model drug and silicone rubber are mixed using extrusion technology to form a hollow skeleton-type drug-loaded rod core. This invention combines the advantages of both traditional reservoir-type implants and skeleton-type implants, as follows:
[0553] ①Simple production process: basically the same as the production process of skeleton-type implants, reducing production links and saving costs;
[0554] ② Wide range of drug applications: Applicable to all drugs, not affected by drug molecular weight, solubility, physicochemical properties, particle size, crystal form, etc.; active ingredients with molecular weight >800Da or molecular weight ≤800Da; and active ingredients with solubility >10mg / mL or solubility ≤10mg / mL are all applicable;
[0555] ③Stable release: By reducing the degree of slowing down of the release rate, zero-order release can be achieved, with stable blood drug concentration, precise efficacy, and meeting clinical needs;
[0556] ④ Large release amount: The drug release area is increased, the drug is released on both the inner and outer surfaces, and the drug release rate is increased. The released dose is several times that of traditional skeleton-type implants and dozens to hundreds of times that of reservoir-type implants. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0577] 1. Gestodene skeleton core
[0578] 1.1 Preparation of Gestodene Skeleton Stick Core
[0579] Since the silicone rod core is made by mixing drugs and silicone rubber and then vulcanizing, the addition of drugs will hinder the cross-linking of silicone rubber macromolecules to a certain extent during the vulcanization process. Therefore, compared with silicone tubes, silicone rod cores are more difficult to vulcanize. In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the drugs, higher requirements are placed on the proportion and dosage of each component in the silicone prescription.
[0580] Example 1-1
[0581] Basic prescription
[0582] The gestodene skeleton-type rod core is a rod-shaped silicone rod core prepared by mixing the model drug gestodene with silicone rubber. The formula consists of 20PHR of gestodene, 100PHR of methyl vinyl silicone rubber, hydrogen-containing silicone oil, 0.1PHR of platinum catalyst, and 0.98PHR of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol.
[0583] Among them, the selected gestodene has a particle size of 2-3 μm after air flow grinding; the selected methyl vinyl silicone rubber has a vinyl group as the end-capping group of the silicone rubber, and the vinyl content range is 0.18%; the selected hydrogen-containing silicone oil has a Si-H group content of 0.75 mol%, and the molar ratio of Si-H groups in the hydrogen-containing silicone oil to vinyl groups in the methyl vinyl silicone rubber is 1.5:1; the selected platinum catalyst has a platinum concentration of 10,000 ppm; and the selected 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol is an inhibitor.
[0584] Note: PHR (parts per hundreds of rubber) indicates the number of parts of the component per 100 parts of methyl vinyl silicone rubber; ppm (parts per million) indicates the mass concentration of platinum in the platinum catalyst.
[0585] Preparation process
[0586] (1) Drying pretreatment of raw rubber: Dry the methyl vinyl silicone rubber raw rubber at 40℃ for 12 hours.
[0587] (2) Preparation of component A and component B rubber: Take the prescribed amount of methyl vinyl silicone rubber raw rubber and divide it equally into two components A and B. Add the prescribed amount of hydrogenated silicone oil and 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol to component A, mix it in an open mill, and then pass it through the mill for 5 times to unload it in the form of thin slices. Add the prescribed amount of platinum catalyst to component B, mix it in an open mill, and then pass it through the mill for 5 times to unload it in the form of thin slices.
[0588] (3) Preparation of rubber compound: put the prepared A and B component sheets into the open mill at a ratio of 1:1 and mix them for 5 times to ensure that the A and B component rubbers are fully mixed and uniformly formed into a rubber compound.
[0589] (4) Preparation of drug-loaded silica gel: Take the prescribed amount of gestodene and the mixed rubber in a weight ratio of 1:5 on an open mill and mix them evenly to prepare drug-loaded silica gel, which is then cut into strips.
[0590] (5) Extrusion of silicone rod core: Install a die of appropriate size, set the extruder screw speed, and put the cut drug-loaded silicone strips into the extruder. The drug-loaded silicone is continuously extruded into a rod-shaped silicone rod core through the die mouth under the push of the screw.
[0591] (6) Vulcanization of silicone rod core: After extrusion, the silicone rod core is placed in an oven and vulcanized into an elastomer at a vulcanization temperature of 90°C and a vulcanization time of 1 hour.
[0592] (7) Preparation of silicone rod cores with different diameters: A die with a diameter of 1.9 mm was used to prepare the silicone rod core.
[0593] (8) Dimensional measurement and appearance inspection of the silicone rod core: The diameter of the extruded silicone rod core was measured using an infrared caliper, and the surface appearance of the silicone rod core was observed using an electron microscope. The diameter of the gestodene skeleton-type rod core was 2 mm, the length was 1.5 cm, and the drug release area was 1.0048 cm. 2 .
[0594] Example 1-2 to Example 1-5 (Investigation of Catalyst Amount)
[0595] Except that the amount of catalyst was adjusted to the following values (see Table 3), the other operations and conditions were the same as those in Example 1-1.
[0596] Table 3
[0597] The results in Table 3 show that: with the increase in the amount of platinum catalyst, the mechanical indicators of the silicone rod core first significantly enhanced and then showed a slight downward trend. When the dosage was 0.1PHR, due to the small amount of catalyst, it could not be completely vulcanized; the best was achieved when the amount of platinum catalyst was 0.21PHR; during the experiment, it was found that when the amount of platinum catalyst was increased to 0.25PHR, due to the excessive amount, the rubber material was slightly hard during the drug-rubber mixing and silicone rod core extrusion process, resulting in rough extrusion of the silicone rod core and a decrease in mechanical properties; when the amount was increased to 0.30PHR, due to the excessive amount, the texture was too hard and the mechanical properties were relatively poor.
[0598] Example 1-6 and Example 1-7 (Investigation of the molar ratio of hydrogenated silicone oil)
[0599] The remaining operations and conditions were the same as in Examples 1-3, except that the molar ratio of the hydrogenated silicone oil was adjusted to the following values (see Table 4). The molar ratio of the hydrogenated silicone oil refers to the molar ratio of Si-H groups in the hydrogenated silicone oil to vinyl groups in the methyl vinyl silicone rubber.
[0600] Table 4
[0601] The results in Table 4 show that increasing the amount of hydrogenated silicone oil increases the elongation at break, tensile strength, and tear strength of the silicone rod core. Generally, in addition reactions of addition-forming silicone rubber, a molar ratio of hydrogenated silicone oil to vinyl groups in the silicone rubber is sufficient between 1.2 and 1.8. However, for silicone rod cores containing a drug-gel mixture, the presence of a large amount of drug in the silicone rubber hinders contact between the hydrogenated silicone oil's silane groups and the vinyl groups, leading to incomplete reaction. Therefore, it is necessary to further increase the molar ratio to achieve a greater excess of hydrogenated silicone oil, increasing the available hydrogenated silicone oil available for the addition reaction, ultimately achieving a complete reaction and optimal vulcanization of the silicone rod core. When a certain amount of hydrogenated silicone oil is added, the silicone tube achieves optimal molecular bonding and cross-linking, reaching peak mechanical properties. However, as the amount of hydrogenated silicone oil continues to increase, the excessive molecular bonding and cross-linking points within the silicone tube increase the binding force of the surrounding particles, reducing elasticity, making the silicone tube brittle, and reducing toughness, resulting in a decrease in elongation at break.
[0602] Example 1-8 and Example 1-9 (Investigation of vulcanization temperature)
[0603] Except that the vulcanization temperature was adjusted to the following values (see Table 5), the other operations and conditions were the same as those of Examples 1-7.
[0604] Table 5
[0605] The results in Table 5 show that when the vulcanization temperature is 70°C, the elongation at break, tensile strength and tear strength of the silicone rod core are not high, and the vulcanization effect is not good. When the vulcanization temperature is 90°C and 110°C, the mechanical indicators of the silicone rod core are good and the difference is not large. During the experiment, it was found that when the vulcanization temperature is between 110°C and 150°C, the color of the silicone rod core becomes darker due to the high temperature, and the mechanical properties were not tested. Therefore, considering the mechanical properties of the silicone rod core and the thermal stability of the drug, the suitable vulcanization temperature range is 70-110°C.
[0606] 1.2 In vitro release of gestodene skeleton stick core:
[0607] Content determination and in vitro release determination method of gestodene skeleton stick core
[0608] (1) Chromatographic conditions
[0609] Chromatographic column: C18 column (250 mm × 4.60 mm, 5 μm);
[0610] Mobile phase: methanol-water (80:20, v / v);
[0611] Column temperature: 30°C;
[0612] Detection wavelength: 239nm;
[0613] Flow rate: 1 mL min -1 ;
[0614] Injection volume: 20 μL.
[0615] (2) In vitro release experimental method
[0616] Using the horizontal oscillation method, take one implant and secure its ends to the bottom and wall of a 50mL stoppered Erlenmeyer flask with silicone adhesive (to prevent the implant from floating on the liquid surface, which could lead to inaccurate release results). After adhesion, allow the silicone adhesive to cure completely for 12 hours. Accurately measure 50mL of distilled water as the release medium and inject it into the Erlenmeyer flask. Place the flask in a constant-temperature air shaker and shake it at 37°C and an amplitude of 100 r / min. -1 The medium was replaced with an equal volume every 24 h. The release solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm microporous filter membrane and detected according to chromatographic conditions with an injection volume of 20 μL.
[0617] According to relevant literature and patent reports, gestodene release of 10-20 μg per day can achieve drug efficacy. In this experiment, a silicone rod core with a diameter of 2.0 mm, a length of 1.5 cm, a vulcanization temperature of 90°C, and a vulcanization time of 1 h (the rod core formula is the same as that of Example 1-7) was selected for a 35-day in vitro release study.
[0618] According to Figure 1 and Table 6, the results show that the release of gestodene skeleton core can be maintained within the effective therapeutic window of 10-20 μg / d for 35 days, but there is a problem of unstable release and the daily release amount shows a downward trend.
[0619] Table 6
[0620] 1.3 Preparation of silicone tube:
[0621] Table 7 Prescription, vulcanization process and dimensions of silicone tube
[0622] Note: The vinyl content of methyl vinyl silicone rubber is 0.18%; the Si-H group content of hydrogenated silicone oil is 0.75%, and the molar ratio of Si-H groups in hydrogenated silicone oil to vinyl groups in methyl vinyl silicone rubber is 1.5:1; the platinum concentration of the selected platinum catalyst is 3000 ppm.
[0623] The specific process is as follows:
[0624] (1) Drying pretreatment of the rubber compound: Place the reinforcing agent, fumed silica, in an oven at 130°C and dry it for 18 hours, and dry the methyl vinyl silicone rubber at 40°C for 18 hours.
[0625] (2) Preparation of rubber compound: Put the prescribed amount of fumed silica and methyl vinyl silicone rubber into a kneader and knead them at 30°C for 30 minutes to make the fumed silica and rubber evenly mixed. Then take out the rubber compound to obtain the rubber compound, transfer it to an open mill for extrusion (roller spacing is 1 mm), and use the shearing effect of the two rollers of the open mill to further mix the rubber more thoroughly. Then, unload the rubber compound from the open mill in the form of a thin sheet, wrap the rubber compound with plastic wrap, put it into a ziplock bag, and put it into a desiccant for 18 hours for use.
[0626] (3) Preparation of Components A and B: The rubber mix is divided into two components, A and B. The prescribed amount of hydrogenated silicone oil and 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol are added to Component A and mixed in an open mill. The mixture is then thinned several times and discharged in the form of thin sheets. The prescribed amount of platinum catalyst is added to Component B and mixed in an open mill. The mixture is then thinned several times and discharged in the form of thin sheets. The prepared Components A and B are wrapped in plastic wrap, placed in ziplock bags, and placed in a desiccator for 18 hours for later use.
[0627] (4) Mixing of components A and B: Put the parked components A and B into the open mill at a ratio of 1:1 and make triangular thin rolls 5 times to ensure that the components A and B are fully mixed. Unload them in the form of thin slices on the open mill and cut them into strips.
[0628] (5) Extrusion of silicone tube: Install a mold of appropriate size, set the extruder screw speed, put the cut silicone strips into the extruder, and the rubber is continuously extruded into a silicone tube through the mold mouth under the push of the rotating screw.
[0629] (6) First vulcanization treatment: The silicone tube extruded from the mold mouth first passes through a front drying channel (vertical hot air vulcanization channel) for rapid high-temperature vulcanization, which is the first vulcanization treatment. It allows the silicone tube to quickly change from a sticky and soft state to an elastic state and initially take shape.
[0630] (7) Second vulcanization treatment: After the first vulcanization, the silicone tube enters the post-drying channel (horizontal hot air vulcanization channel) to continue vulcanization, which is the second vulcanization treatment. This makes the vulcanization reaction of the silicone tube more complete and reaches the optimal cross-linking state. The finished silicone tube is then continuously transported out through the conveyor belt of the post-drying channel.
[0631] 1.4 Preparation of Depot-Framework Gestodene Implant:
[0632] Examples 1-10
[0633] (1) Silicone tubing preparation: Prepare silicone tubing according to Section 1.3 above. Take a 2.4 cm outer diameter addition-type silicone tubing that meets all applicable appearance and performance requirements and cut it to the required length, leaving 0.4 cm longer than the silicone rod core, leaving 0.2 cm for the sealing adhesive at each end of the implant. Place the cut silicone tubing in a beaker and soak it in 75% ethanol for 15 min. Rinse it repeatedly with 75% ethanol several times and allow it to air dry.
[0634] (2) Assembly of silicone rod core and silicone tube:
[0635] Silicone rod core: Except for adjusting the weight ratio of gestodene to the rubber compound in step (4) to 1:1 in the preparation process, the rest of the formulation and process are the same as those in Example 1-7; the diameter of the rod core is 0.2 cm and the length is 1.5 cm.
[0636] Soak the cut silicone tube in petroleum ether to swell for 2 minutes. After the silicone tube is swollen, take it out of the petroleum ether and quickly shake off the petroleum ether remaining on the surface of the silicone tube. The swollen silicone tube will quickly shrink and return to its original shape after being taken out of the petroleum ether. At this time, immediately and quickly use tweezers to insert the cut silicone rod core into the middle position of the silicone tube, leaving the same length of space at both ends of the silicone tube in preparation for sealing. After assembly is completed, let the implant dry naturally for 20 hours to evaporate the residual petroleum ether.
[0637] (3) End sealing of implant: Seal both ends of the naturally air-dried implant with sealing glue and leave it at room temperature for 20 hours to allow the sealing glue to solidify, thereby obtaining the reservoir-skeleton type gestodene implant.
[0638] 1.5 Investigation of factors affecting the in vitro release of reservoir-framework type gestodene implants:
[0639] The in vitro testing method for the reservoir-skeleton type gestodene implant is the same as that for "1.2 In vitro release of gestodene skeleton type rod core".
[0640] (1) Investigation of the vulcanization time of the silicone rod core
[0641] Example 1-11 and Example 1-12
[0642] Except that the curing time of the silicone rod core was adjusted to the following values (see Table 8), the other operations and conditions were the same as those of Examples 1-10.
[0643] Table 8
[0644] A 30-day in vitro release test was conducted using the reservoir-framework type gestodene implants prepared in Examples 1-10, 1-11, and 1-12 to investigate the effect of the curing time of the silicone rod core on the release of the reservoir-framework type gestodene implant.
[0645] The results in Table 9 show that the average daily release of the three groups of implants within 30 days is not much different. The drug release stability when the curing time is 1 hour and 2 hours is slightly better than that when it is 3 hours. Taking into account the thermal stability of the drug, when the curing time is 1 hour, the silicone rod core can reach the optimal curing state and the drug release stability is also good.
[0646] Table 9 Drug release at different curing times μg / d
[0647] (2) Investigation of the drug release area of the silicone rod core
[0648] During the drug release process of the implant, the medium enters the surface of the silicone rod core through the silicone tube, dissolves the drug in the silicone rod core, and then releases it to the outside of the silicone tube. Therefore, the contact area between the medium and the silicone rod core is the drug release area of the silicone rod core, which will directly affect the drug release of the implant. The drug release area of the silicone rod core is calculated using the formula for the lateral surface area of the cylinder as follows:
[0649] S=πd×L, S: drug release area of silicone rod core, d: diameter of silicone rod core, L: length of silicone rod core
[0650] It can be seen from the formula that when the diameter of the silicone rod core is fixed, the drug release area of the silicone rod core can be changed by changing the length of the silicone rod core. Therefore, in this experiment, as shown in Table 10, the outer diameter of the silicone tube was fixed at 2.4 mm, the wall thickness was 0.2 mm, the diameter of the silicone rod core was fixed at 0.2 cm, and the lengths of the silicone rod cores were cut to 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 cm, respectively. They were assembled with the silicone tube into implants for 30 days of in vitro release to investigate the change in the in vitro drug release amount with the drug release area of the silicone rod core.
[0651] Table 10 Effect of drug release area on in vitro release of reservoir-framework type gestodene implant
[0652] Note: Except for using the above-mentioned drug release area, the preparation of the reservoir-framework type Gestodene implant is the same as that of Example 1-10.
[0653] The results in Table 11 show that as the release area of the silicone rod core increases, the daily release rate of the reservoir-skeleton type gestodene implant increases accordingly. The release rate is linearly related to the release area of the silicone rod core.
[0654] Table 11 Drug release amount in different release areas μg / d
[0655] 1.6. In vitro release of gestodene from a reservoir-matrix implant
[0656] Except for the dimensions shown in Table 12, the formula and preparation process of the stick core were the same as those of Examples 1-10. The preparation of the reservoir-framework type gestodene implant was the same as described in Section 1.4 above.
[0657] Table 12
[0658] A 150-day long-term in vitro release experiment was conducted on the reservoir-framework type gestodene implant. The results are shown in Figure 2 and Table 13. The results showed that the average daily release of the implant over 150 days was approximately 19.5 μg, with good release stability and no obvious burst release. This indicates that the implant's release behavior over 150 days met the requirements and that the implant can achieve controlled release for at least five months.

[0660] 2. Levothyroxine Sodium Skeleton Core
[0661] 2.1 Preparation of Levothyroxine Sodium Skeleton Rod Core
[0662] Example 2-1
[0663] The prescription consists of 100 PHR of levothyroxine sodium, 100 PHR of methyl vinyl silicone rubber, 0.3 PHR of hydrogenated silicone oil, 0.27 PHR of platinum catalyst, and 0.49 PHR of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol.
[0664] Among them, the selected levothyroxine sodium has a particle size of 80 μm; the selected methyl vinyl silicone rubber has a vinyl group as the end-capping group of the silicone rubber, and the vinyl content range is 0.17%; the selected hydrogenated silicone oil has a Si-H group content of 0.75 mol%, and the molar ratio of Si-H groups in the hydrogenated silicone oil to vinyl groups in the methyl vinyl silicone rubber is 2:1; the selected platinum catalyst has a platinum concentration of 10,000 ppm; and the selected 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol is the inhibitor.
[0665] The preparation of the levothyroxine sodium skeleton core was the same as that in Example 1-1 except that the above-mentioned formula was used and the curing temperature and curing time were adjusted to 50°C and 0.5h. The diameter of the levothyroxine sodium skeleton core was 3 mm, the length was 4 cm, and the drug release area was 3.9003 cm. 2 .

[0667] Except for using the following catalyst dosage (see Table 14), the other operations and conditions are the same as those in Example 2-1.
[0668] Table 14 Prescription and vulcanization of silicone rod core under different catalyst dosages
[0669] The amount of platinum catalyst added has a great influence on the formability of the rod core. Too little catalyst will cause the core to not be completely cross-linked, easily deformed or broken, and have poor mechanical properties; too much catalyst will cause oversulfurization, the texture will be hard, affecting the processing of the rubber material, and may also cause breakage.
[0670] The effect of catalyst dosage on the cross-linking degree of the implant is shown in Table 14. The vulcanization molding of the implant with a catalyst dosage in the range of 0.20PHR to 0.30PHR was investigated. The experiment found that when the amount of catalyst was less than 0.20PHR, the implant was still in an "under-vulcanization" state no matter how long it took, and it could not be completely vulcanized and molded at 0.20PHR. In the range of 0.25PHR, the implant could be molded after vulcanization for 5 hours, and in the range of 0.27PHR, the implant had good moldability after vulcanization for half an hour, and at 0.3PHR, the implant had become hard and could not be extruded before molding, and was in an "over-vulcanization" state.
[0671] 2.2 Content determination and in vitro release determination method of levothyroxine sodium skeleton stick core:
[0672] (1) Chromatographic conditions
[0673] Chromatographic column: SinoDetectHCL-C18 column (4.6×250mm, 5μm)
[0674] Mobile phase: acetonitrile-0.1% TFA (50:50, v / v)
[0675] Column temperature: 30°C
[0676] Detection wavelength: 225nm
[0677] Flow rate: 1 mL min -1
[0678] Injection volume: 20 μL
[0679] (2) In vitro release experimental method
[0680] Using the horizontal oscillation method, take 1 tube / set of subcutaneous implants and fix them in a 20 mL sample bottle using silicone adhesive. Accurately measure an appropriate amount of 0.1% BSA release medium into the sample bottle, keeping the preparation below the liquid level of the release medium, and place it in an oscillation chamber with an amplitude of 100 r·min. -1 The release was carried out in a thermostatic oscillator at 37°C. Sampling was performed every 24 hours, the release medium was replaced, and the solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. The sample was injected according to the chromatographic conditions and the detection was recorded.
[0681] 2.3 Investigation of factors affecting the in vitro release of levothyroxine sodium matrix implants:
[0682] Example 2-5 to Example 2-7 (crosslinking agent dosage molar ratio)
[0683] Except for adopting the following molar ratio of cross-linking agent, other operations and conditions are the same as those in Example 2-1.
[0684] The molar ratio of the cross-linking agent affects the degree of vulcanization cross-linking of the implant, while the degree of cross-linking network affects the later release and diffusion rate. The specific prescription is shown in Table 15.
[0685] Table 15 Silicone rod core formulations with different crosslinking agent ratios
[0686] The results of investigating different cross-linking ratios are shown in Figure 3 and Table 16. When the molar ratio of the cross-linking agent is 2:1, the amount added is too small, the formed channels are relatively few, and the internal branches of the implant are arranged in a disordered order, which blocks the release of the mixed drug and results in a small release amount. When the molar ratio of the cross-linking agent is 4:1, the amount of cross-linking agent added is too large, the internal cross-linking structure is unstable, and side reactions are prone to occur, causing changes in the internal structure and hindering the release of the drug. When the ratio is 3:1 and 3.5:1, the internal network channels are more suitable for drug diffusion, the release amount is closer to the release requirement, and the release is more stable.
[0687] Table 16 Effect of different cross-linker molar ratios on drug release μg / d
[0688] Note: The test object in Table 16 is one levothyroxine sodium matrix implant.
[0689] Example 2-8 to Example 2-10 (drug release area)
[0690] Except for preparing the rod core into the following dimensions, the other operations and conditions (composition and amount of the rod core) were the same as those in Example 2-5.
[0691] The skeleton-type implant is a cylindrical device that releases drugs through the sides and two bottoms of the cylinder. The drug release area is related to the diameter and length of the implant. Considering patient compliance, implants with diameters of 2 mm and 3 mm and different lengths were investigated. 释药面积 =2S 底 +S 侧 =2πr 2 +πdL
[0692] r: implant bottom radius d: implant bottom diameter L: implant length
[0693] The drug release areas of skeleton-type implants with different diameters and lengths are shown in Table 17. The effect of different drug release areas on the in vitro release of the skeleton-type implants was investigated.
[0694] Table 17 Release area of silicone rod cores of different sizes
[0695] The results of drug release area are shown in Table 18. When the diameter is 3 mm and the length is increased to 4 cm, it is found that the daily release amount of the preparation is significantly increased, and the release is more stable.
[0696] Table 18 Drug release amount in different release areas μg / d
[0697] Note: The test object in Table 18 is one levothyroxine sodium matrix implant.
[0698] 2.4 In vitro release of levothyroxine sodium matrix implant:
[0699] An in vitro release test was conducted on the levothyroxine sodium skeleton implant prepared in Example 2-10.
[0700] A set of two levothyroxine sodium skeleton implants were subjected to long-term release for one month. The in vitro release profile is shown in Table 19. The drug release showed a slowly decreasing trend. This was because the outer layer of drug gradually dissolved and released, making the blank annular carrier area larger and larger. The distance for the solvent molecules to enter the implant and the distance for the drug to diffuse outward after dissolution became longer, the diffusion rate slowed down, and the daily release amount gradually decreased. The release amount was maintained at 100-120 μg / d within one month. The results showed that the prepared skeleton implant can effectively release the drug for one month.

[0705] Basic prescription
[0706] Levonorgestrel 10 PHR; Methylvinyl silicone rubber 100 PHR; Hydrogenated silicone oil 0.667 PHR; 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (inhibitor) 0.49 PHR; Platinum catalyst 0.25 PHR;
[0707] Among them, the selected methyl vinyl silicone rubber has vinyl as the end-capping group of the silicone rubber and the vinyl content is 0.18%; the selected hydrogen-containing silicone oil has an Si-H group content of 0.75 mol%, and the molar ratio of Si-H groups in the hydrogen-containing silicone oil to vinyl groups in the methyl vinyl silicone rubber is 1.5:1; the selected platinum catalyst has a platinum concentration of 10,000 ppm; the process is: vulcanization temperature 110°C, vulcanization time 1h.
[0708] Note: PHR (parts per hundreds of rubber) indicates the number of parts of the component per 100 parts of base polymer.
[0709] Preparation method
[0710] The preparation method of the levonorgestrel skeleton silicone rod core was the same as that of Example 1-1 except that the above-mentioned prescription was used. The diameter of the levonorgestrel skeleton silicone rod core was 2 mm, the length was 4 cm, and the drug release area was 2.5748 cm. 2 .
[0711] 3.2 In vitro release determination method of levonorgestrel matrix implant
[0712] (1) Chromatographic conditions
[0713] Chromatographic column: C18 column (250mm×4.60mm)
[0714] Mobile phase: acetonitrile-water (70:30, v / v)
[0715] Column temperature: 30°C
[0716] Detection wavelength: 240nm
[0717] Flow rate: 1 mL min -1
[0718] Injection volume: 20 μL
[0719] (2) In vitro release experimental method
[0720] The release rate was determined by the horizontal oscillation method: a set of implants was fixed to each other in a 100 mL stoppered conical flask with an adhesive. 100 mL of distilled water was accurately measured as the release medium. The stoppered conical flask was placed in a constant temperature oscillator with an amplitude of 100 r / min. -1 , the temperature is 37℃, ensuring that the implant is always below the liquid surface, sampling is carried out every 24 hours and the release medium is replaced with an equal volume, and the sample solution is filtered through a 0.22μm microporous filter membrane and tested according to the "chromatographic conditions".
[0721] 3.3 Investigation of the Levonorgestrel Skeleton Silicone Rod Core Process:
[0722] The most important process factors affecting the curing and molding of silicone rod cores are curing temperature and curing time. Curing temperature determines whether the silicone rod core can be cured and molded. Excessively high temperatures may cause drug decomposition, affecting drug release; while excessively low temperatures may prevent complete curing of the silicone rod core. The same applies to curing time; either too long or too short a time can affect drug release.
[0723] Example 3-2 and Example 3-3 (Effect of Vulcanization Temperature)
[0724] Except for adopting the following vulcanization temperature (see Table 20), the other operations and conditions are the same as those in Example 3-1.
[0725] Table 20
[0726] The effects of different silicone core curing temperatures on in vitro release are shown in Table 21. Daily release was similar when the core was cured at 90°C and 110°C, but significantly decreased at 130°C. The daily release and mechanical properties were optimal at 110°C.
[0727] Table 21 Drug release at different curing temperatures μg / d
[0728] Note: The test object in Table 21 is one levonorgestrel matrix implant.
[0729] Example 3-4 and Example 3-5 (Influence of Curing Time)
[0730] Except for the following vulcanization time (see Table 22), the remaining operations and conditions are the same as those in Example 3-1.
[0731] Table 22
[0732] The effects of different silicone rod curing times on in vitro release are shown in Figure 4 and Table 23. Silicone rods cured for 0.5 hours exhibited a relatively high daily release rate when prepared into skeleton-type implants, while no significant difference in daily release was observed between silicone rods cured for 1 hour and 2 hours. A 1-hour curing time resulted in better daily release and mechanical properties, while also reducing the time cost of the preparation process.
[0733] Table 23 Drug release at different curing times μg / d
[0734] Note: The test object in Table 23 is one levonorgestrel matrix implant.
[0735] 3.4 In vitro release of skeleton-type silicone rod core:
[0736] The levonorgestrel silicone rod core prepared in Example 3-1 was released for 35 days. From the release curve (Figure 5 and Tables 21-22), it can be seen that the release can be maintained within the effective therapeutic window, but there is an uneven release, and the daily release amount shows a downward trend.
[0737] 3.5 Preparation of Reservoir-Framework Levonorgestrel Implant
[0738] Examples 3-6
[0739] Preparation of reservoir-matrix levonorgestrel implant:
[0740] The reservoir-framework type levonorgestrel implant was prepared according to the aforementioned "1.4 Preparation of Reservoir-Framework Type Gestodene Implant": the prescription, vulcanization process, and size information of the silicone tube and rod core are shown in Table 24 and Table 25, respectively. Other than that, the other steps are the same as the preparation method of the reservoir-framework type gestodene implant.
[0741] Table 24 Final formula, vulcanization process and dimensions of silicone tube
[0742] Note: The vinyl content of methyl vinyl silicone rubber is 0.18%; the Si-H group content in hydrogenated silicone oil is 0.75%, and the molar ratio of Si-H group to vinyl group in methyl vinyl silicone rubber is 1.2:1; the platinum catalyst has a platinum concentration of 3000 ppm.
[0743] Table 25 Final formulation, curing process and dimensions of drug-loaded silicone rod core
[0744] Note: The vinyl content of methyl vinyl silicone rubber is 0.18%; the Si-H content of hydrogenated silicone oil is 0.75%, and the molar ratio of Si-H group to vinyl group in methyl vinyl silicone rubber is 1.5:1; the platinum catalyst has a platinum concentration of 10,000 ppm.
[0745] 3.6. Investigation of factors affecting the in vitro release of levonorgestrel reservoir-matrix levonorgestrel implants:
[0746] The in vitro release determination method of the reservoir-matrix type levonorgestrel implant is the same as that of “3.2 In vitro release determination method of the levonorgestrel matrix type implant”.
[0747] Investigation of drug release area
[0748] Except for using the dimensions in Table 26, the remaining operations and conditions are the same as those in Examples 3-6.
[0749] The implant is cylindrical in appearance, capped at both ends with end-capping glue. The drug is released entirely through the lateral surfaces of the entire formulation. The drug release area directly determines the degree of contact between the drug and body fluids and the outward diffusion pathway of the drug, playing a crucial role in drug release. The implant's drug release area S = π·d·L, where d is the diameter of the silicone rod core and L is the length of the silicone rod core. Reservoir-framework levonorgestrel implants of varying sizes were prepared according to Table 27 to investigate the effect of the drug release area on in vitro release.
[0750] Table 26 Effect of drug release area on daily release amount
[0751] The effects of different drug release areas on in vitro release are shown in Figure 6 and Table 27. As the drug release area increases, the daily release amount gradually increases. The in vitro daily release amount is positively correlated with the drug release area of the implant. The drug release area has an important influence on the daily release amount of the reservoir-skeleton type levonorgestrel implant.
[0752] Table 27 Drug release amount in different release areas μg / d
[0753] Note: The test object in Table 27 is one reservoir-matrix type levonorgestrel implant.
[0754] The increase in the drug release area of the implant increases the contact area with the release medium. The diffusion area of the drug after dissolving in the medium also increases accordingly, and the drug release pathway increases, so the daily release amount has a significant upward trend.
[0755] Compared to levonorgestrel matrix implants, reservoir-matrix levonorgestrel implants with a controlled-release membrane offer more stable release. The membrane increases the drug's diffusion pathways within the implant, reducing the drug diffusion rate within the membrane to a lower rate than within the matrix, resulting in a relatively low release rate. Furthermore, the membrane slows the formation of a blank area within the silicone rod core, maintaining a consistent drug concentration within the membrane and enabling a steady release from the implant.
[0756] Table 28
[0757] Note: The test subjects in Table 28 are 2 reservoir-matrix type levonorgestrel implants.
[0758] For the silicone rod core, the drug release area is 251.2 mm 2 In vitro release testing of a reservoir-matrix levonorgestrel implant was conducted. The results in Table 28 show that the average daily release of the implant over 180 days was approximately 40 μg, with good release stability and no significant burst release. This indicates that the implant's release behavior over 180 days meets the requirements and that the implant can achieve controlled release for at least six months.

[0766] The molar ratio of Si-H groups in the hydrogenated silicone oil to vinyl groups in the R-vinyl silicone rubber is 5:1.
[0767] Note: PHR (parts per hundreds of rubber) indicates the number of parts of the component per 100 parts of methyl vinyl silicone rubber; ppm (parts per million) indicates the mass concentration of platinum in the platinum catalyst.
[0768] B. Preparation process:
[0769] (1) Drying pretreatment of raw rubber: Dry the methyl vinyl silicone rubber raw rubber at 40℃ for 12 hours.
[0770] (2) Preparation of component A and component B rubber: Take the prescribed amount of raw rubber and divide it equally into two components, A and B. Add hydrogenated silicone oil and inhibitor to component A, mix it in an open mill, and then pass it through several times to remove it in the form of thin sheets. Add platinum catalyst to component B, mix it in an open mill, and then pass it through several times to remove it in the form of thin sheets.
[0771] (3) Preparation of rubber compound: put the prepared A and B component sheets into the open mill at a ratio of 1:1 and mix them for 6 times to ensure that the A and B component rubbers are fully mixed and uniformly formed into a rubber compound.
[0772] (4) Preparation of drug-loaded silica gel: Nano paliperidone and mixed rubber were mixed evenly on an open mill at a drug-to-gel weight ratio of 1:1 to prepare drug-loaded silica gel, which was then cut into strips.
[0773] Nano paliperidone was obtained by nano-processing the raw material paliperidone. Specifically, a planetary ball mill was used for wet grinding. 0.4 g of the stabilizer poloxamer 188 was added to 2 g of the raw material paliperidone. Zirconia beads with a diameter of 0.1 mm were used as the grinding medium. The grinding time was controlled to be 50 min and the rotation speed was 400 r / min. -1 After grinding, the freeze-drying process is adopted, and the nano-freeze-dried powder is obtained after freeze-drying.
[0774] (5) Extrusion of the rod core: Install a die with a diameter of 2.96 mm and set the extruder screw speed to 7 r / min -1 The cut drug-loaded silicone strips are put into the extruder, and the drug-loaded silicone is continuously extruded into rod cores through the die mouth under the push of the screw.
[0775] (6) Vulcanization of the rod core: After extrusion, the rod core is placed in an oven and vulcanized at 80°C for 50 minutes to form an elastomer.
[0776] The diameter of the paliperidone skeleton nanorod core is determined by the diameter of the die. The outer diameter of the rod core prepared in this embodiment is 3 mm.

[0795] Example 6-1 Paliperidone skeleton reservoir nano-type implant
[0796] A. Basic prescription:
[0797] It consists of a silicone tube and a paliperidone skeleton nanorod core with an average particle size of 220 nm, which is prepared by the preparation method of Example 4-1.
[0798] a. Basic prescription of silicone tube
[0799] The basic formula of silicone tube consists of base polymer, reinforcing agent, cross-linking agent, catalyst and inhibitor.
[0800] (1) The selected base polymer is methyl vinyl polysiloxane, vinyl is the end-capping group of polysiloxane, the vinyl content is 0.18 mol%, and the addition amount is 100 PHR;
[0801] (2) The selected reinforcing agent is fumed silica, and the addition amount is 40PHR;
[0802] (3) The crosslinking agent selected is hydrogenated silicone oil, the Si-H group content of which is 0.75 mol%, and the addition amount is 1.07 PHR;
[0803] (4) The selected platinum catalyst has a platinum concentration of 3000 ppm and an addition amount of 0.21 PHR;
[0804] (5) The selected inhibitor was 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol, and the addition amount was 0.98 PHR.
[0805] The molar ratio of Si-H groups in the hydrogenated silicone oil to vinyl groups in the methylvinyl polysiloxane is 1.2:1.
[0806] b. Basic formula of paliperidone skeleton nanorod core
[0807] The basic formula of the paliperidone skeleton nanorod core was the same as that prepared in Example 4-1; wherein the average particle size of paliperidone was 220 nm.
[0808] B. Preparation process
[0809] (1) Preparation of silicone tube:
[0810] ① Drying pretreatment of the rubber material: Place the reinforcing agent fumed silica in a 130℃ oven and dry it for 12 hours, and dry the methyl vinyl silicone rubber at 40℃ for 12 hours.
[0811] ② Preparation of rubber mix: put the prescribed amount of fumed silica and methyl vinyl silicone rubber into a kneader, knead for 30 minutes at 30℃ to make the fumed silica and raw rubber evenly mixed, then take out the rubber mix to obtain the rubber mix, transfer it to an open mill for extrusion and thinning, and make triangle wrap thinning 5 times with a roller spacing of 1mm. Use the shearing effect of the two rollers of the open mill to further mix the rubber, and then unload the rubber from the open mill in the form of sheets, wrap the rubber with plastic wrap, put it into a ziplock bag, and put it in a desiccant for 24 hours.
[0812] ③ Preparation of Components A and B: Divide the rubber mix equally into Components A and B. Add the prescribed amount of hydrogenated silicone oil and inhibitor to Component A, mix thoroughly on an open mill, and thinly pass through several times to remove the mixture in the form of thin sheets. Add the prescribed amount of platinum catalyst to Component B, mix thoroughly on an open mill, and thinly pass through several times to remove the mixture in the form of thin sheets. Wrap the prepared Components A and B separately in plastic wrap, place them in ziplock bags, and store in a desiccator for 24 hours.
[0813] ④ Mixing of components A and B: Add the parked components A and B into the mixing mill at a ratio of 1:1, and make triangular rolls 6 times to ensure that the components A and B are fully mixed. Unload them in the form of slices on the mixing mill and cut them into strips.
[0814] ⑤ Extrusion of silicone tube: Install a die with a diameter of 2.96 mm and set the extruder screw speed to 7 r / min -1 , put the cut silicone strips into the extruder, and the rubber is continuously extruded into silicone tubes through the die mouth under the push of the rotating screw.
[0815] ⑥ The first vulcanization treatment: The silicone tube extruded from the mold mouth first passes through a front drying channel (vertical hot air vulcanization channel) for rapid high-temperature vulcanization, which is the first vulcanization treatment (temperature is 300°C, vulcanization time is about 5s), so that the silicone tube quickly changes from a sticky and soft state to an elastic state, and is initially shaped.
[0816] ⑦ Second vulcanization treatment: After the first vulcanization, it enters the post-drying channel (horizontal hot air vulcanization channel) to continue vulcanization, which is the second vulcanization treatment (temperature is 280°C, vulcanization time is about 2 minutes), so that the vulcanization reaction of the silicone tube is more complete and reaches the optimal cross-linking state. The finished silicone tube is then continuously transported out through the conveyor belt of the post-drying channel; a silicone tube with an outer diameter of 3.4 mm and a wall thickness of 0.2 mm is prepared.
[0817] (2) Preparation of paliperidone skeleton nanorod core: The preparation method is the same as that of paliperidone skeleton nanorod core in Example 4-1.
[0818] (3) Silicone Tubing Treatment: Take an addition-type silicone tube that meets all requirements for appearance and performance, cut it to a length of 4.4 cm, 0.4 cm longer than the paliperidone skeleton nanorod core, and leave 0.2 cm for the sealing glue at each end of the implant. Place the cut silicone tube in a beaker and soak it in 75% ethanol for 15 minutes. Then rinse it repeatedly with 75% ethanol several times and let it air dry.
[0819] (4) Assembly of the paliperidone skeleton nanorod core and the silicone tube: Soak the silicone tube in petroleum ether to swell for 1-2 minutes. After the silicone tube swells, remove it from the petroleum ether and quickly shake off the petroleum ether remaining on the surface of the silicone tube. The swollen silicone tube will quickly shrink and return to its original shape after being removed from the petroleum ether. At this time, immediately and quickly insert the cut paliperidone skeleton nanorod core (4 cm in length and 3 mm in outer diameter) into the middle position of the silicone tube with tweezers, leaving the same length of space at both ends of the silicone tube for sealing. After assembly, let the implant dry naturally for 24 hours to evaporate the residual petroleum ether.
[0820] (5) End sealing of the implant: Seal the two ends of the naturally air-dried implant with sealing glue and leave it at room temperature for 24 hours to allow the sealing glue to solidify, thereby obtaining the paliperidone implant.
[0821] The paliperidone skeleton reservoir nano-type implant prepared by the above preparation method comprises a skeleton-type drug-loaded rod core with a diameter of 3.0 mm and a length of 4.0 cm; a silicone tube with an outer diameter of 3.4 mm, a wall thickness of 0.2 mm, and a length of 4.4 cm, and a drug release area of 3.77 cm. 2 .

[0839] The invention consists of a silicone tube and a powder core. The silicone tube has the same basic formula as the silicone tube prepared in Example 6-1. The powder core is paliperidone with an average particle size of 5 μm.
[0840] B. Preparation process
[0841] Compared with Example 7-1, the difference of Example 7-2 is that the rod core is different; specifically, the nano-powder type core is changed to a powder type core, and other operations are the same as Example 7-1.
[0842] Example 8-1 Estradiol Hollow Skeleton Nanorod Core
[0843] Based on Example 5-1, only the active ingredient of the drug was changed from nano-paliperidone to nano-estradiol, and the average particle size of nano-estradiol was 198 nm.
[0844] Example 8-2 Estradiol Hollow Skeleton Rod Core
[0845] Based on Example 8-1, only the active ingredient of the drug was changed from nano-estradiol to estradiol, and the average particle size of estradiol was 66 μm.
[0846] Example 9-1 Meloxicam Hollow Skeleton Nano-Rod Core
[0847] Based on Example 5-1, only the active ingredient of the drug was changed from nano paliperidone to nano meloxicam, and the average particle size of nano meloxicam was 308 nm.
[0848] Example 9-2 Meloxicam hollow skeleton stick core
[0849] Based on Example 9-1, only the active ingredient was changed from nano-meloxicam to meloxicam, and the average particle size of meloxicam was 80 μm.
[0850] Example 10-1 Paliperidone hollow skeleton nanorod cores with different inner diameters
[0851] On the basis of Example 5-1, only the size of the core mold during the extrusion of the hollow skeleton type rod core was changed to 0.58 mm, 0.97 mm and 1.38 mm, respectively, to obtain a paliperidone hollow skeleton nano-type rod core with an outer diameter of 3 mm and an inner diameter of 0.6 mm, 1.0 mm and 1.4 mm, respectively.
[0852] Example 10-2 Paliperidone hollow skeleton cores with different inner diameters
[0853] Based on Example 5-2, only the core die size during the extrusion of the hollow skeleton rod core was changed to 0.58 mm, 0.97 mm, and 1.38 mm, respectively. Paliperidone hollow skeleton nanorod cores with an outer diameter of 3 mm and inner diameters of 0.6 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.4 mm were obtained. In other words, compared with Example 10-1, Example 10-2 differs in that paliperidone is directly used as the raw material in step (4). All other operations are the same as in Example 10-1.
[0854] Example 11 Paliperidone hollow skeleton nanorod cores with different particle sizes
[0855] On the basis of Example 5-1, only the grinding time during the nano-processing of the raw material paliperidone was changed to prepare paliperidone hollow skeleton nanorod cores with average particle sizes of 820 nm, 646 nm, 430 nm and 220 nm, respectively.
[0856] Examples 12-14 are based on Example 4-1, and the types of stabilizers, grinding media and grinding time during the grinding process are investigated.
[0857] Example 12 Investigation of Stabilizer Types
[0858] Active ingredient: stabilizer = 5:1, ball mill speed is 400r·min -1 The grinding medium was 0.2 mm zirconium oxide beads, the grinding medium was 20 mL, and the grinding time was 50 min. The effects of stabilizer types poloxamer 188 (P188), Tween 80, poloxamer 407 (P407), SDS, and HPMC on the average particle size and PDI (PDI is a dimensionless value reflecting the width of the particle size distribution, ranging from 0 to 1. The smaller the value, the more uniform the particle size and the more concentrated the particle size distribution) of the active pharmaceutical ingredient after grinding were investigated.
[0859] Table 29 Effect of different types of stabilizers on average particle size and PDI
[0860] The results show that the effects of the above five stabilizers all meet the experimental requirements, and the PDI are all less than 0.3.
[0861] Example 13 Investigation of Grinding Media Types
[0862] Active ingredient: stabilizer = 5:1, ball mill speed is 400r·min -1 , poloxamer 188 as stabilizer, grinding medium 20 mL, grinding time 50 min, and the effects of 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, and 0.3 mm zirconia beads on the average particle size and PDI of the active pharmaceutical ingredient after grinding were investigated.
[0863] Table 30 Effect of different grinding media types on average particle size and PDI
[0864] The results show that as the diameter of the zirconia beads increases, the average particle size and PDI also increase. Zirconia beads with a diameter of 0.1-0.3 mm have a PDI of < 0.3, which meets the experimental requirements. Using 0.1 mm zirconia beads as the grinding medium, the final PDI and average particle size are the smallest in the same grinding time.
[0865] Example 14 Grinding time investigation
[0866] Active ingredient: stabilizer = 5:1, ball mill speed is 400r·min -1 , poloxamer 188 as stabilizer, 0.1 mm zirconium oxide beads as grinding media, and the effects of grinding time of 15 min, 25 min, 35 min, 45 min, 50 min, and 60 min on the average particle size and PDI of the active pharmaceutical ingredient after grinding were investigated.
[0867] Table 31 Effect of different grinding times on average particle size and PDI
[0868] The results showed that paliperidone of different particle sizes was obtained by using 0.1 mm zirconium oxide beads and grinding time ranging from 15 to 60 min during the grinding process.
[0869] According to Examples 12-14, the ball mill speed is 400 r / min. -1 Using P188 as a stabilizer, 0.1mm zirconium oxide beads as grinding media, and grinding process parameters of 50 minutes, and then using freeze-drying process after grinding, freeze-drying for 24 hours, the obtained nano freeze-dried powder can significantly improve the drug release when used in implants.

After adhesion, let it stand for 12 hours to allow the adhesive to cure completely. Accurately measure 100mL of distilled water as the release medium and inject it into the conical flask. Place the conical flask in a constant temperature air shaker and shake it at 37°C and an amplitude of 100 r / min. -1 , replace the same volume of medium every 1 day.

Compared with non-nanosized drugs, the release rate can be increased by 2-8 times. In addition, nanosized drugs have better compatibility with silica gel, which is more conducive to the production of implants.
[0930] Example 15-18 Paliperidone Hollow Skeleton Stick Core
[0931] Hollow skeleton rod core formulation and process investigation
[0932] (1) Using tensile strength, elongation at break and tear strength as evaluation indicators, the effects of the amount of catalyst, amount of hydrogenated silicone oil, vulcanization temperature and vulcanization time on the mechanical properties of the skeleton rod core were studied.
[0933] Tensile strength (Ts) is the maximum tensile stress a specimen experiences until fracture. It represents the material's resistance to maximum uniform plastic deformation and can be used to describe the rod's maximum resistance to external damage. Elongation at break (Eb) is the ratio of the elongation at break to the original length of the specimen. It represents the specimen's deformation range and can indicate the range of deformation the rod can withstand before fracture. Tear strength (T) is the strength required to tear the specimen and represents the rod's ability to resist tearing.
[0934] (2) Mechanical properties determination method:
[0935] Place the prepared skeleton rod core symmetrically on the upper and lower clamps of the servo system tensile testing machine, set the clamp distance to 50 mm, prepare the elongation test device, and set the tensile rate of the sample to 200 mm min -1 , start the tensile testing machine. Record the maximum tensile stress during the stretching process, the length of the sample when stretched to fracture, and the force required to tear the sample. Calculate the elongation at break, tensile strength, and tear strength of the sample according to the following formulas. Elongation at break (%) E b =100(L b -L0) / L0
[0936] L b - gauge length of the specimen at break, mm, L0 - initial gauge length of the specimen, mm. Tensile strength (MPa) Ts = Fm / Wt
[0937] Fm-the maximum force recorded, W-the width of the narrow part of the cutter, mm, t-the thickness of the length of the sample. Tear strength (KN / m) T=F / t
[0938] F is the maximum force required to tear the specimen, t is the thickness of the specimen (mm).
[0939] Example 15 Investigation of Catalyst Dosage
[0940] 1. The basic formula and mechanical properties of the hollow skeleton rod core are shown in Table 47.
[0941] Table 47
[0942] Note: PHR (parts per hundreds of rubber) indicates the number of parts of the component per 100 parts of methyl vinyl silicone rubber; ppm (parts per million) indicates the mass concentration of platinum in the platinum catalyst.
[0943] 2. Preparation process of hollow skeleton rod core:
[0944] (1) Drying pretreatment of raw rubber: Dry the methyl vinyl silicone rubber raw rubber at 40℃ for 12 hours.
[0945] (2) Preparation of component A and B rubber: Take the prescribed amount of R-vinyl silicone rubber and divide it equally into two components, A1 and B1. Add hydrogenated silicone oil and inhibitor to component A1, mix it evenly in an open mill, pass it through several thin passes, and remove it in the form of thin flakes to obtain component A2. Add platinum catalyst to component B1, mix it evenly in an open mill, pass it through several thin passes, and remove it in the form of thin flakes to obtain component B2.
[0946] (3) Preparation of rubber compound: put the prepared A2 and B2 component sheets into the open mill at a ratio of 1:1 and mix them 4 to 6 times to ensure that the A2 and B2 component rubbers are fully mixed and uniformly formed into a rubber compound.
[0947] (4) Preparation of drug-loaded silica gel: Paliperidone and the mixed rubber were mixed evenly on an open mixer to prepare drug-loaded silica gel, which was then cut into strips.
[0948] (5) Extrusion of hollow skeleton rod core: Install a 2.96 mm diameter die, a 1.38 mm diameter core die, and set the extruder screw speed to 4 r·min -1 The cut drug-loaded silicone strips are put into the extruder, and the drug-loaded silicone is continuously extruded through the die mouth into a hollow skeleton rod core under the push of the screw.
[0949] Among them, the size of the hollow skeleton type rod core: the outer diameter of the hollow skeleton type rod core is determined by the diameter of the mouth die, and the inner diameter is determined by the diameter of the core die.
[0950] (6) Vulcanization of the hollow skeleton rod core: After the rod core is extruded, it is placed in an oven and vulcanized at 80°C for 30 minutes to form an elastomer.
[0951] 3. The results show that as the catalyst dosage increases, the mechanical properties of the rod core first significantly increase and then slightly decrease, reaching the best performance at a catalyst dosage of 0.21 PHR. During the experiment, it was found that when the catalyst dosage was increased to 0.25 PHR and 0.3 PHR, the rubber compound became slightly stiff during the drug-rubber mixing and drug-core extrusion process due to excessive dosage, resulting in rough extrusion of the rod core and decreased mechanical properties. Therefore, a catalyst dosage of 10,000 ppm can be selected with a range of 0.1-0.3 PHR, with 0.21 PHR being the most preferred.
[0952] Example 16 Investigation of the amount of hydrogenated silicone oil used
[0953] 1. The basic formula and mechanical properties of the hollow skeleton rod core are shown in Table 48.
[0954] 2. The preparation process of the fixed hollow skeleton rod core is the same as that in Example 15.
[0955] Table 48
[0956] 3. Results show that as the amount of hydrogenated silicone oil increases, the mechanical properties of the rod core gradually improve. Generally, in the addition reaction of addition-forming silicone rubber, a molar ratio of hydrogenated silicone oil to silicone rubber vinyl group between 1.2 and 1.5 is sufficient. However, for the drug-gel mixed rod core, the presence of a large amount of drug in the silicone rubber hinders the contact between the hydrogenated silicone oil's silane groups and the vinyl groups, resulting in an incomplete reaction. Therefore, it is necessary to further increase the molar ratio to achieve a greater excess of hydrogenated silicone oil and more effective hydrogenated silicone oil available for the addition reaction, ultimately achieving a complete reaction and optimal cure of the drug core. In this experiment, a molar ratio of hydrogenated silicone oil of 2.0-6.0 was selected.
[0957] Example 17 Investigation of vulcanization temperature
[0958] 1. The basic formula for the fixed hollow skeleton rod core is that of Example 16-3.
[0959] 2. The preparation process of the hollow skeleton rod core is the same as that of Example 15, except that:
[0960] (5) Extrusion of rod core: Install a die with a diameter of 2.96 mm, a core die with an inner diameter of 1.38 mm, and set the extruder screw speed to 6 r / min. - 1The cut drug-loaded silicone strips are put into the extruder, and the drug-loaded silicone is continuously extruded into rod cores through the die mouth under the push of the screw.
[0961] (6) Vulcanization of the rod core: After extrusion, the rod core is placed in an oven and vulcanized (the vulcanization process and mechanical property data are shown in Table 49) into an elastomer.
[0962] Table 49
[0963] 3. The results show that when the vulcanization temperature is 30-60°C, the mechanical properties are poor and the vulcanization effect is poor. When the vulcanization temperature is 60-90°C, the mechanical properties of the core first improve and then deteriorate, and continue to decline from 90-120°C. Therefore, considering the mechanical properties of the core and the thermal stability of the drug, the vulcanization temperature is selected to be 60-90°C, preferably 65-90°C.
[0964] Example 18 Investigation of vulcanization time
[0965] 1. The basic formula for the fixed hollow skeleton rod core is that of Example 16-3.
[0966] 2. The preparation process of the hollow skeleton rod core is the same as that of Example 15, except that:
[0967] (6) Vulcanization of the rod core: After extrusion, the rod core is placed in an oven and vulcanized (the vulcanization process and mechanical properties data are shown in Table 50) into an elastomer.
[0968] Table 50
[0969] 3. The results show that the core reaches its optimal mechanical properties at a vulcanization time of 30 minutes. However, the mechanical properties of the core do not increase with increasing vulcanization time at vulcanization times of 40 and 50 minutes, respectively. This indicates that the core reaches its optimal vulcanization state at a vulcanization temperature of 80°C and within 30 minutes. The vulcanization time of the present invention can be 10-60 minutes.
[0970] In summary, the final formulation and process for the hollow skeleton rod core are as follows: 100 PHR of paliperidone; 100 PHR of methylvinyl silicone rubber with a 0.18% vinyl content; 4.4 PHR of hydrogenated silicone oil with a 0.75 mol% hydrogen content; a molar ratio of Si-H groups in the hydrogenated silicone oil to vinyl groups in the methylvinyl silicone rubber of 5:1; 0.75 mol% hydrogen in the hydrogenated silicone oil; 0.21 PHR of platinum catalyst with a platinum concentration of 10,000 ppm; 0.98 PHR of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol; a curing temperature of 80°C; and a curing time of 30 minutes. Unless otherwise specified, the basic formulation and process for the hollow skeleton rod core described below are used in accordance with this document.

[0974] 2. Investigation of the extrusion size of hollow skeleton rod core
[0975] 2.1 Effect of die diameter and core mold diameter on the diameter of hollow skeleton rod core
[0976] The effects of different die and core mold diameters on the diameter of the hollow skeleton core were investigated. The die determines the outer diameter of the hollow skeleton core, while the core mold determines its inner diameter. Using different die and core molds, hollow skeleton cores of varying sizes were produced, as shown in Table 51.
[0977] Table 51 Hollow skeleton rod cores of different sizes
[0978] Experimental results: After the drug-loaded rod core passes through the mouth die and core die, the actual diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the die. Mouth dies and core dies of different diameters can be matched according to actual needs to prepare hollow skeleton-type rod cores with an outer diameter of 1.8-6mm and an inner diameter of 0.4-2mm.
[0979] Unless otherwise specified, a 2.96 mm die and a 1.38 mm core die were selected in the following examples, and a hollow skeleton-type rod core with an outer diameter of 3 mm and an inner diameter of 1.40 mm was finally prepared.

The drug-loaded silicone is continuously extruded through the die mouth under the push of the screw into a rod core. The diameter of the skeleton-type rod core is 3mm. Among them, the size of the rod core: the diameter of the skeleton-type rod core is determined by the die diameter.
[0985] (6) Vulcanization of the rod core: After extrusion, the rod core is placed in an oven and vulcanized at 80°C for 30 minutes to form an elastomer.

[1031] 8. In vitro release test method
[1032] Using the horizontal oscillation method, take a rod core and fix the ends of the core to the bottom and wall of a 100mL conical flask with silicone adhesive (to prevent the rod core from floating on the liquid surface and causing inaccurate release results). After adhesion, let it stand for 12 hours to allow the adhesive to completely cure. Accurately measure 100mL of distilled water as the release medium and inject it into the conical flask. Place the conical flask in a constant temperature air shaker and shake it at 37°C and an amplitude of 100 r·min. -1 , replace the same volume of medium every 1 day.
