Description

A macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system and its application Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The transdermal system is a method for drugs to be absorbed through the skin. It is a new way of drug administration in which drugs are absorbed through the skin into the human blood circulation and reach effective blood drug concentrations, thereby achieving disease treatment or prevention.

[0003] Transdermal drug delivery systems offer numerous advantages: they can effectively reduce pain associated with injections, effectively avoid the irritation and side effects of oral medications, effectively improve sustained-release effects, and enhance the safety of drug use and treatment. Transdermal drug delivery also offers numerous advantages, including avoiding the first-pass effect in the liver, providing more stable blood drug concentrations, and providing enhanced safety.

[0004] However, human skin mainly acts as a barrier. This structure is conducive to "internal stability and external defense", protecting the human body from external stimuli, while also preventing the entry of foreign components. If foreign components want to enter the skin, they first need to pass through the epidermis of the skin and enter the skin to take effect.

[0005] The skin consists of three parts: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the superficialest layer of the skin and is divided into the stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. The basal layer is connected to the dermis by a basement membrane. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis and is composed of 5 to 15 layers of keratinocytes and intercellular lipids. This structure is figuratively likened to a "brick wall." The stratum corneum is 15 to 50 μm thick, has a very low water content (5% to 20%), and is metabolically inactive, acting as a primary barrier to transdermal absorption of chemicals. Intercellular lipids are primarily composed of 45% to 50% ceramides, 25% cholesterol, 15% long-chain free fatty acids, and 5% other lipids. The dermis, located beneath the epidermis and supporting it, is primarily composed of connective tissue, including collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and matrix. The dermis also contains other tissues, such as nerves, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, muscles, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands.

[0006] Due to the dense structure of the skin's stratum corneum, most drugs cannot be absorbed into the systemic circulation, resulting in bioavailability that falls short of clinical needs. This is especially true for large-molecule bioactive drugs, which have difficulty penetrating the skin to deliver their efficacy. Therefore, improving transdermal drug penetration is a key and challenging aspect of research and development of transdermal drug delivery formulations.

[0007] Commonly used transdermal penetration enhancement technologies in physics include: microneedles, iontophoresis, electroporation technology, ultrasonic introduction technology and needle-free drug delivery system; commonly used chemical penetration enhancers in chemistry include transdermal penetration enhancers and ion pairs.

[0008] Transdermal enhancers are substances that promote transdermal absorption of drugs, a preferred method. Transdermal drug delivery systems have seen rapid development in drug development, with new products such as estradiol and testosterone entering the market. In the beauty and medical aesthetics industries, some high-end cosmetics also utilize transdermal emulsions to achieve optimal results.

[0009] However, there is still a lack of products that are good at transdermal penetration of large molecules.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] FIG1 is a standard curve of BSA standard according to four-parameter fitting in Example 4;

[0028] FIG2 is a diagram showing the toe-closing phenotype of the mouse experiment in Example 5. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. For the specific methods or materials used in the examples, those skilled in the art can make conventional replacements based on the technical ideas of the present invention and existing technologies, and are not limited to the specific description of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in the examples are conventional methods; the materials and reagents used are all commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0031] An emulsion is a two-phase, immiscible liquid formulation in which one phase is dispersed in the form of small droplets throughout the other phase, forming a non-uniform dispersion. The phase forming the droplets is called the dispersed phase, internal phase, or discontinuous phase, while the other phase is called the dispersion medium, external phase, or continuous phase.

[0032] Emulsions consist of an oil phase (denoted by O), an emulsifier, and a water phase (denoted by W). Depending on the type and properties of the emulsifier and the phase volume ratio (φ), they can form oil-in-water (O / W) or water-in-oil (W / O) emulsions or composite emulsions.

[0033] Aqueous phase: water or aqueous solution. Aqueous solution refers to the dissolution of water-soluble raw materials in water;

[0034] Oil phase: refers to the raw materials that are not easily soluble in water being dissolved in oily substances.

[0035] According to the size of the emulsion particles, that is, the size of the emulsion droplets, emulsions are classified into ordinary emulsions, submicron emulsions and nanoemulsions:

[0036] 1. Ordinary milk: The droplet size of ordinary milk is generally 1μm-100μm, and it is a milky white opaque liquid.

[0037] 2. Submicron emulsions: The droplet size is generally between 0.1 μm and 1.0 μm. Submicron emulsions are often used as carriers for gastrointestinal administration. Intravenous emulsions should be submicron emulsions, with particle sizes generally ranging from 0.25 μm to 0.4 μm.

[0038] 3. Nanoemulsions: The size of the emulsion droplets is <100nm, generally in the range of 10-100nm. Nanoemulsions are also called microemulsions.

[0039] The macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system provided by the present invention contains an effective amount of a macromolecular active substance capable of exerting a predetermined effect. The composition of the macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system, calculated by weight percentage relative to the total weight of the transdermal microemulsion system, is as follows: an oil phase accounts for 16-36% or 20-30%; an aqueous phase accounts for 55%-88% or 60-70%; and an emulsion accounts for 8%-20% or 10%-25%.

[0040] Macromolecular active substances refer to substances with larger molecular weight, mainly biological molecules.

[0041] Dalton, short for Dalton, is a commonly used unit of molecular weight. It is calculated by taking the algebraic sum of the atomic weights of all atoms in a molecule and dividing it by the number of atoms. The Dalton (Da) is numerically equal to the relative molecular mass.

[0042] In biochemistry, molecular biology, and proteomics, kDa (kilodaltons) is often used to refer to biological macromolecules such as proteins. 1 kDa represents a molecule with a relative molecular mass of 1000. Macromolecules refer to biological substances with a relative molecular mass of 5000 or more, or even more than one million, such as peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, and antibodies.

[0043] The composition of the macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system provided by the present invention is shown in Table 1:

[0044] Table 1 shows the composition of the macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system of the present invention, which is divided into three types: oil phase, aqueous phase and emulsifier. The "effective amount of macromolecular active substance capable of playing a predetermined role" may be oily (soluble in oil) or aqueous (soluble in water).

[0045] In one example, the macromolecular active substance of the present invention refers to a biomolecule of less than or equal to approximately 300 kDa or less than or equal to approximately 150 kDa. Preferably, the biomolecule is water-soluble, ie, exists in the aqueous phase after addition.

[0046] In one example, the predetermined effect is to achieve any one or more effects among treatment, beauty and skin care effects.

[0047] In one example, the macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system of the present invention satisfies any one or both of the requirements shown in Table 2:

[0048] As long as the macromolecular active substance can function through the system, the effective amount of the macromolecular active substance in the transdermal microemulsion system, measured as a percentage by mass of the total weight of the transdermal microemulsion system, is 10% or less, 5% or less, 2% or less, or 1% or less. Within this range, adjustments may be made based on the specific macromolecular active substance. After final adjustment, the oil phase, aqueous phase, and emulsifier in the microemulsion system as a whole meet the aforementioned ratios or proportions.

[0049] In one example, the macromolecular active substances contained are at least one or more selected from clostridial neurotoxin, soluble collagen, and elastin, and / or are provided by yeast extract contained in the system. In other words, the macromolecular active substances contained may include the following as shown in Table 3:

[0050] In one example, for any of the cases in Table 3, the contents, calculated as a percentage by mass of the total weight of the transdermal microemulsion system, are as follows:

[0051] The effective amount of the clostridial neurotoxin is less than or equal to 0.02%, preferably 0.00001%-0.015%, more preferably 0.0005%-0.015% or 0.0008-0.0015%, and the content of the clostridial neurotoxin is 10 ng / ml-10 μg / ml;

[0052] The effective amount of the soluble collagen and the elastin is less than or equal to 5%, or less than or equal to 2%, or less than or equal to 1%;

[0053] The effective amount is provided by 1-10% of the yeast extract contained in the emulsion system. For example, if the yeast extract accounts for 10% and the macromolecules contained are 5%, the effective amount is 5%.

[0054] Clostridial toxins can be used for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. For example, botulinum toxin specifically binds to presynaptic receptors on peripheral cholinergic nerve endings. By cleaving the synaptic-associated protein SNAP-25, it interferes with the exocytosis of presynaptic vesicles, inhibiting the release of acetylcholine (ACh) from nerve endings. This leads to chemical denervation of muscles, resulting in muscle relaxation and relief of muscle spasms. This muscle chemical denervation effect of botulinum toxin is the theoretical basis for its use in regulating hypertonia, movement disorders, and dynamic wrinkles. Furthermore, multiple injections into target muscles can lead to disuse atrophy and reduction in muscle size, leading to its use in body contouring. Currently, botulinum toxin is used in the treatment of hemifacial spasm, essential blepharospasm, spastic torticollis, spastic cerebral palsy, post-stroke limb spasticity, tremor, and other dystonias. The application of botulinum toxin in the field of minimally invasive plastic surgery includes the removal of various dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet; the beautification of facial contours such as eyebrow height adjustment, mental muscle relaxation, mandibular margin lifting, and neck cord injection; and the shaping of body contours such as masseter muscle reduction, gastrocnemius muscle reduction, and trapezius muscle reduction.

[0055] The clostridial toxins herein refer to natural clostridial toxins and toxins having similar structures and functions to natural clostridial toxins.

[0056] Despite differences in amino acid sequences and immunogenicity among various toxin types, they all exhibit similar molecular structures. Clostridial neurotoxins are produced by toxigenic Clostridium as non-toxic single-chain polypeptides of approximately 150 kD. They become active only after being cleaved by bacterial proteases or in vitro proteases into a two-chain form, consisting of a light chain (L chain, amino terminus of the toxin, 50 kD) and a heavy chain (H chain, carboxyl terminus of the toxin, 100 kD) linked by a disulfide bond. The heavy chain is composed of two domains: the Hn (amino terminus, 50 kD) and the Hc (carboxyl terminus, 50 kD).

[0057] Furthermore, the clostridial neurotoxin is a botulinum toxin type A, B, C, D, E, F, or G, and / or the light chain of the clostridial neurotoxin comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 35%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 99%, or 100% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-7; and / or the heavy chain of the clostridial neurotoxin comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 35%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 99%, or 100% identical to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 8-14. The sequences are shown in Table 4.

[0058] Botulinum toxin-related products have broad application prospects in the treatment of clinical spastic disorders, glandular hypersecretion, neuropathic pain, and cosmetic wrinkle reduction. However, due to their large molecular size, these products are currently injected, making it difficult for them to directly penetrate the skin and reach their target site.

[0059] Currently, only botulinum toxin types A and B are available for pharmaceutical use, but the vast majority of botulinum toxins used in medicine are type A. Type A botulinum toxins currently in clinical use include Botox (Allergan, USA), Dysport (Speywood, UK), and Hengli (BTX-A) (Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products, my country). Botulinum toxin-related products have broad application prospects in the treatment of clinical spastic disorders, glandular hypersecretion, neuropathic pain, and cosmetic wrinkle reduction. However, these products are currently administered via injection. Our macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system, however, has demonstrated in vivo efficacy studies in mice that it allows biological macromolecules, such as botulinum toxin, to achieve their intended effects through transdermal delivery.

[0060] Yeast extract (also known as yeast flavor, abbreviated as YE) is a pure natural product that comes in a brownish-yellow soluble paste or light yellow powder, made from protein-rich edible yeast according to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. It is refined using modern biotechnology, including autolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, separation, and concentration, to degrade the proteins and nucleic acids within yeast cells. Yeast extract's main components include amino acids and nucleotides, as well as monosaccharides, polysaccharides, minerals, and vitamins.

[0061] The main application effects of yeast extract are skin rejuvenation, anti-aging and water retention. Yeast extract has a good skin rejuvenation effect, which is achieved through three main modes of action: (1) reducing the transfer of existing melanin to surface cells; (2) promoting the metabolism of melanin-containing keratinocytes to accelerate keratin shedding; (3) promoting the synthesis of epidermal proteins to regulate skin texture. Yeast extract has a good free radical scavenging and anti-aging effect. It can regulate skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, make the skin smooth and delicate, and can also reduce and prevent the dull skin color caused by the early aging process. Yeast extract also has a strong water retention effect: rich in natural moisturizing factors, it can promote the stratum corneum to retain moisture more effectively, give the skin deep moisture and prevent dryness; by increasing the content of ceramide in the stratum corneum, it can strengthen the skin barrier function and reduce transepidermal water loss; it can also repair the damaged stratum corneum lipid barrier, improve skin resistance and regulate skin condition.

[0062] Soluble collagen is a naturally occurring protein that performs important functions in the skin. While collagen maintains skin's elasticity and firmness, it decreases with age, leading to sagging and wrinkles. Soluble collagen, as a form that penetrates deeper into the skin, can replenish collagen and improve its condition.

[0063] Soluble collagen can stimulate and promote the synthesis of collagen, help repair damaged collagen, and promote the production of new collagen, thereby improving the elasticity and firmness of the skin and improving wrinkles and fine lines.

[0064] Elastin is a key component of the skin and the foundation of its youthfulness. Elastin peptides promote skin damage repair, blood vessel regeneration, and fibroblast proliferation. They also enhance skin elasticity, resulting in smooth, resilient skin.

[0065] In one example, the composition of the macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system of the present invention is shown in Table 5:

[0066] Preferably, the example of Table 5 is composed of Table 6:

[0067] Chitosan, a natural alkaline polysaccharide, possesses film-forming, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, analgesic, antipruritic, scar-removing, wound-healing, and antioxidant properties. Chitosan has a strong inhibitory effect on bacteria, yeast, fungi, and other microorganisms. It has significant inhibitory effects on common bacteria found on the human epidermis, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans tropicalis, as well as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus aureus pyogenes, common in burn patients. Chitosan possesses potent moisturizing properties, even exceeding those of sodium hyaluronate, earning it the nickname "super moisturizer." Chitosan can absorb heavy metals and cosmetic residues. Its restorative properties can repair the skin barrier and are beneficial for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

[0068] In one example, the macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system further contains a preservative. Preferably, the preservative is present in an amount of 0.1-1% by weight relative to the total weight of the transdermal microemulsion system. Furthermore, the preservative is selected from any one or more of phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, benzyl alcohol, and sorbic acid.

[0069] The average particle size of the particles of the macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system of the present invention is nanometer-scale, preferably, 10-15 nm on average.

[0070] Table 5 is a specific example of the composition of the macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system provided by the present invention.

[0071] The macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system of the present invention is used to achieve therapeutic, cosmetic and skin care effects. When used, it can be transdermally applied by any one or more of smearing, transdermal instruments, attachment and spraying.

[0072] The macromolecular transdermal microemulsion system of the present invention can also be used to prepare medicines or products for achieving therapeutic, cosmetic and skin care effects.

[0073] In addition, in the present invention, water is preferably any one or more combinations of distilled water, drinking water, sterile water, ultrapure water and deionized water.

[0074] In the following examples, some of the components involved are described as follows:

[0075] The main applications of superoxide dismutase in cosmetics include: (1) as a cosmetic additive to prevent skin aging and provide skin care benefits; (2) prevention and treatment of related skin diseases. These applications have been widely used abroad. Currently, many high-end cosmetics at home and abroad have added SOD and made it into facial masks, lotions, and creams.

[0076] Vitamins are essential organic substances for the human body. Vitamin A promotes epidermal cell proliferation and increases the formation of dermal collagen and elastin, offering anti-aging benefits. Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that boosts metabolism and improves skin elasticity. Vitamin C has strong antioxidant properties, promoting collagen synthesis and inhibiting collagen breakdown. Vitamins C and E synergistically scavenge free radicals.

[0077] In addition to essential vitamins, a variety of natural plant active ingredients have been shown to have anti-wrinkle and firming functions, such as Centella asiatica extract, Osmanthus fragrans extract, and Calendula officinalis extract. These raw materials are currently widely used in anti-wrinkle and firming cosmetics.

[0150] 4. Test Data and Conclusions

[0151] (1) The standard curve of BSA standard according to four-parameter fitting is shown in Figure 1.

[0152] Standard curve drawing:

[0153] Process the OD value data of the detected standard protein:

[0154] The data were fitted with four parameters to obtain the standard curve. The four-parameter fitting formula is:

[0155] The specific standard curve is shown in Figure 1.

[0156] (2) Sample test results

[0157] Table 12 shows the BSA concentrations permeating through the skin of different test samples at different time periods calculated based on the standard curve.

[0158] Based on the results, perform transdermal calculation:

[0159] (1) After 24 hours, the BSA emulsion protein test solution prepared in Example 1 had a concentration of 239.6 ng / ml in the receptor compartment, which had a volume of 15 ml, while the BSA concentration in the donor compartment was 1 mg / ml, and the volume added to the donor compartment was 150 μl. Based on this, the transdermal efficiency of the BSA emulsion prepared in Example 1 was calculated to be 2.40%.

[0160] (2) Comparative Example 2 prepared a BSA emulsion protein test solution. After 24 hours, the concentration in the receiving chamber was 147.1 ng / ml, and its volume was 15 ml. The BSA concentration in the donor pool was 0.62 mg / ml, and the volume added to the donor chamber was 150 μl. Based on this, the transdermal efficiency of the BSA emulsion prepared in Example 5 was calculated to be 2.37%.

[0161] (3) After 24 hours, the BSA protein test solution dissolved in PBS has a concentration of 125.4 ng / ml in the receiving chamber, which has a volume of 15 ml, while the BSA concentration in the donor chamber is 1 mg / ml, and the volume added to the donor chamber is 150 ul. Based on this, the transdermal efficiency of PBS is calculated to be 1.25%.

[0162] It can be seen that, compared with the control, the transdermal effects of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are very good, and the transdermal effect of Example 1 is better than that of Comparative Example 2.

[0163] Example 5

[0164] The efficacy of botulinum toxin A microemulsions prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 at a concentration of 10 μg / ml was verified in mice.

[0165] To compare the transdermal efficiency of the macromolecular active substance between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, we used 17-19 g SPF CD-1 (ICR) mice. After anesthesia with tribromoethanol, the skin on the right hind leg was shaved. Before each application, the application area was cleaned with a medical cotton swab dipped in 10% alcohol and allowed to dry before application. 200 μl of botulinum toxin A microemulsion was applied to the skin of the right hind leg of the mice once daily for 7 consecutive days. The left hind leg of the mice was not treated with botulinum toxin A.

[0166] The experimental results showed that 2-3 days after the mice were treated with botulinum toxin A, the toes of the right hind legs showed a phenotype of closure (2-5 toes closed together). The experimental results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Table 13. The emulsion prepared in the formula of Example 1 showed syndactyly on D2: 33% of the experimental mice had two toes closed, and 33% of the experimental mice had five toes closed; on D3, syndactyly: 33% of the experimental mice had two toes closed, and 33% of the experimental mice had five toes closed; on D4, syndactyly: 66% of the experimental mice had three toes closed, and 33% of the experimental mice had five toes closed; on D5, syndactyly: 100% of the experimental mice had five toes closed.

[0167] The emulsion prepared in the formula of Comparative Example 1 showed no syndactyly on D2; syndactyly on D3: 33% of the experimental mice had two toes syndactyly; syndactyly on D4: 66% of the experimental mice had two toes syndactyly, and 33% of the experimental mice had three toes syndactyly; syndactyly on D5: 33% of the experimental mice had three toes syndactyly, and 66% of the experimental mice had four toes syndactyly.

[0168] The results in Table 13 show that the botulinum toxin A microemulsion prepared in Example 1 had significantly better efficacy in mice than the microemulsion in Comparative Example 1. The microemulsion in Example 1 not only took effect earlier but also had better efficacy than the microemulsion in Example 1. The phenotypes of toe-pushing in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Figure 2.

[0169] According to literature reports, the toes of mice will appear to be folded together after injection of botulinum toxin A into the gastrocnemius muscle.

[0170] It can be seen that we used the emulsion delivery system we developed to make botulinum toxin A into a microemulsion and applied it to the skin of mice, which also achieved the syndactyly phenotype after the injection of botulinum toxin A. This proved in mice that the emulsion system we developed is more effective.
