Description

Preparation process of supramolecular carrier photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy and preparation thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a preparation process of supramolecular carrier photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy and preparation thereof, and belongs to the field of anti-inflammatory and sterilization preparations for dental disease prevention and treatment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bacterial infection is an important factor leading to the development of inflammation in gingival, periodontal, dental pulp and periapical tissue. Due to the particularity of the oral environment, the composition of pathogenic bacteria in oral lesions is complex, and these bacteria exist in the form of biofilm at the lesion site, making it very difficult to eradicate. Therefore, removing or killing pathogenic bacteria is an inevitable way to prevent and treat dental diseases. Currently, the conventional treatment methods for dental anti-inflammatory and sterilization mainly include antibiotic therapy, surgical treatment and preoperative sterilization solution irrigation. Local application or oral administration and injection of antibiotics have serious drug resistance, thus affecting the curative effect of multiple treatments. Basic treatment and surgical treatment can cause gum damage and root surface sensitivity. The commonly used preoperative sodium hypochlorite solution has good sterilization effect, but its diffusion depth is limited in narrow root canal, and the cleaning and sterilization effect is restricted. Moreover, sodium hypochlorite has corrosive and cytotoxic properties, which can easily damage the soft tissue in contact with it, and even the airway.

[0003] The conventional treatment methods for dental inflammation and sterilization mainly include preoperative disinfectant irrigation, scaling surgery and antibiotic therapy. Unlike conventional treatment methods, the sterilization principle of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the energy absorption of photosensitizer at a specific wavelength of light to become an excited state, and then release energy during the transition back to the ground state to activate tissue oxygen, and use the cytotoxicity of active oxygen to achieve the effect of inflammation and sterilization. Based on a large number of in vitro and in vivo evaluations, the effect of PDT in treating gingival porphyromonas gingivalis is more accurate, and compared with the current conventional treatment methods, PDT has outstanding advantages in reducing treatment damage, reducing side effects, overcoming drug resistance, etc. In recent years, the application of PDT in the treatment of dental diseases has attracted great attention in the industry, and important progress has been made in its clinical application. As one of the key applications of PDT, the photosensitizer preparation, toluidine blue and its gel combination dosage form has developed the fastest. First, the photosensitizer toluidine blue has no obvious toxic side effects. Second, toluidine blue is a nucleic acid-preferring acidophilic dye with good selective adsorption in diseased areas and pathogenic bacteria, which can avoid normal tissue damage by photodynamic killing. Third, the gel preparation has certain viscosity and adhesion, which can constrain the photosensitizer to stay in the diseased area to improve the treatment effect, and can further ensure that the normal tissue is not damaged during the treatment process from the dosage form. Patent CN106822894A discloses a photosensitizer preparation formula and application for photodynamic treatment of periodontitis, and the photosensitizer preparation mainly consists of toluidine blue, carbomer, sodium hydroxide or triethanolamine, wherein carbomer is the gel component in the preparation. Patent CN108042544B discloses a toluidine blue photodynamic sterilization and healing promoting composition and its application. The composition consists of toluidine blue, sodium hyaluronate and chitosan in a mass ratio of 1:(0.1-2):(0.5-10), wherein sodium hyaluronate and chitosan are the gel components in the preparation. The research results show that these combination dosage forms for periodontal, gingival disease prevention and treatment and oral postoperative wound sterilization show excellent treatment effect. However, low content, low viscosity gel, especially physical gel, has the trend of becoming unstable due to phase separation during long-term storage, which is a common adverse factor affecting the qualified rate of gel photosensitizer dosage form products.

[0004] In view of the above possible problems, the present application introduces biomass lignin containing rich oxygen-containing active groups to construct an efficient and stable supramolecular network in the photosensitizer preparation, aiming to develop a long-term stable photosensitizer preparation for gingival and periodontal positioning anti-inflammatory and sterilization and its production process. To ensure that the preparation does not have problems such as surface skinning, flocculation precipitation, viscosity reduction and other quality index unqualified problems during long-term storage.

[0005] SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims to provide a preparation process of a supramolecular carrier photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy of inflammation and sterilization of oral gingival, periodontitis, peri-implantitis and pulpitis, and a preparation thereof, so as to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0007] The technical principle of the present application is that lignin is one of the components constituting the plant cell wall and has the function of connecting cells. Lignin is a biological macromolecule with a three-dimensional network structure formed by the mutual connection of three phenylpropane units through ether bonds and carbon-carbon bonds, and contains a large number of active groups such as aromatic groups, phenolic hydroxyl groups, alcoholic hydroxyl groups, and carbon-carbon double bonds in the molecule. It is easily soluble in water in the form of sodium or potassium salt under strong alkaline conditions, and under acidic conditions, H + The substituted metal ions form a large number of hydrogen bonds between molecules and then precipitate. The present application utilizes the characteristics of the alkali dissolution and acid precipitation method of lignin, and the refined lignin precipitated at a pH of 7.5 to 6.5 has a more uniform molecular weight distribution. The addition of refined lignin to the preparation system forms a stable three-dimensional network structure under the condition of pH 6.5. The stability of this three-dimensional network structure may be partially destroyed only under the condition of increased pH, and its stability is irreversible and is not affected by temperature, temperature, storage time, etc. Moreover, a large number of oxygen-containing groups on the lignin form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the abundant hydroxyl groups of glucomannan.
