Description

Injectable composition comprising a hydrogel loaded with an anesthetic

[0001] The present invention relates to an injectable composition comprising a hydrogel loaded with an anesthetic agent and a method for manufacturing the same, etc.

[0002] Lidocaine is a widely used drug for local anesthesia and analgesics, and has been developed into various forms of formulations for pain relief. However, due to lidocaine's short half-life and rapid metabolism in the body, there are limitations in situations requiring continuous drug delivery. To address these issues, there is a demand for drug delivery systems capable of slowly releasing lidocaine, and hydrogel-based drug delivery media are receiving particular attention.

[0003] Hydrogels are polymer networks that maintain a constant structure while containing a large amount of water, and are utilized in various medical applications due to their biocompatibility and ability to control drug release. In particular, lidocaine loading systems using hydrogels improve the sustained-release characteristics of the drug, allowing the effect to be sustained for an extended period with a single administration. This offers the advantages of reducing the inconvenience of repeated administration, maximizing drug efficacy, and minimizing side effects.

[0004] The present invention relates to an injectable composition comprising a hydrogel loaded with lidocaine, and provides a technology that can maximize patient convenience and treatment efficiency by providing a continuous pain relief effect over a long period of time through the stable sustained release of lidocaine.

The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, and 0.6 M sodium hydroxide was added as needed to maintain the pH at 9.0. After confirming partial succinylation by the ninhydrin test, the product was dialyzed with DIW for 72 hours. After dialyzing, the solution was frozen at -80°C and then freeze-dried.

[0086]

[0087] Examples 1-5. Preparation of Lidocaine Nanoparticles (Lid-NP)

[0088] To prepare Lid-NP, 90 mg of lidocaine was dissolved in DIW. Then, 500 mg of NP powder was dissolved in DIW, and 90 mg of lidocaine was dissolved in the NP solution. The mixture was shaken at room temperature for 2 hours. Afterward, the solution was centrifuged at 14,000 rcf for 10 minutes to precipitate impurities, and the product complex was obtained from the supernatant by filtering through a spin column (MWCO 10K). The molar ratio of lidocaine to NP was measured using a UV spectrophotometer.

[0089]

[0090] Examples 1-6. Preparation of Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

[0091] 100 mg of HA was dissolved in 600 μL of 0.3 M NaOH solution. 20 μL of 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) was added to the HA solution. The mixture was shaken for 1 minute and reacted at 40°C for 2 hours. Afterward, the mixture was neutralized to pH 7.0 with 0.1 M HCl. The neutralized reaction mixture was dialyzed with deionized water (DW) using a 6–8 kDa molecular weight barrier to remove any remaining BDDE. After dialysis, the HA hydrogel was broken down into injectable particle sizes using a syringe with an 18–23 G needle. The injectable HA hydrogel particles (xHA) were lyophilized.

[0094] Lid-NP was dissolved in distilled water at a concentration of 1 g mL⁻¹. 70 mg of xHA was added to 300 μL of the Lid-NP solution to prepare Lid-NP loaded xHA. The Lid-NP loaded xHA was lyophilized. Prior to use, the lyophilized Lid-NP loaded xHA was added to a 10 wt% Pluronic F127 solution over ice. The composition of the Lid-NP loaded injectable hydrogel is shown in Table 1 below.

[0096] Example 2. Confirmation of changes in rheological properties of lidocaine-loaded hydrogel

[0097] The rheological properties of the fabricated hydrogel formulation according to temperature were confirmed and are shown in Figure 1. Rheological changes involving gelation were confirmed in an environment of 34°C to 36°C. As a result, it was confirmed that the hydrogel fabricated through this study could change from a liquid state to a gel form upon contact with an environment similar to body temperature and maintain that change.

[0098]

[0099] Example 3. Pharmacokinetic evaluation of lidocaine-loaded hydrogel

[0100] The degree of in vivo absorption of lidocaine local anesthetic was confirmed through serum from rat models injected with lidocaine alone and rat models injected with a lidocaine-loaded hydrogel, and the results are shown in Figure 2. As a result, lidocaine measurements were confirmed in the serum of animals treated with lidocaine alone from 1 hr to 6 hr, whereas in animals injected with the lidocaine-loaded hydrogel, it was confirmed that the serum lidocaine concentration was not detected in excess within a short period after injection, but remained at a low concentration over the long term (1 hr to 14 days). This demonstrates that the lidocaine-loaded hydrogel invented in this study allows for the slow, sustained release of lidocaine in vivo.

[0101]

[0102] Example 4. Evaluation of the in vivo safety of the hydrogel formulation and lidocaine-loaded hydrogel

[0103] The effects of injecting hydrogels without lidocaine and hydrogels containing lidocaine on major organs in vivo were histologically confirmed, and at the same time, the scales of liver damage and myocardial damage detectable at the blood level were confirmed through hematopathological confirmation and are shown in Figure 3.

[0104] Consequently, pathological analysis of major organs in rat models injected with hydrogel and lidocaine-loaded hydrogel confirmed that there was no effect on tissue damage or pathological safety compared to the control group. In addition, analysis of blood collected after hydrogel injection confirmed that no significant changes were observed compared to the control group when checking indicators of liver and myocardial damage.

[0105]

[0106] Example 5. Evaluation of the pain control effect of lidocaine-loaded hydrogel

[0107] Figure 4 shows the results confirming the pain control effect of the lidocaine-loaded hydrogel formulation. The animal model used was the rat CCI (chronic constriction injury) model, which is commonly used for pain sensitivity experiments. As shown in the graph in Figure 4a, after constructing a pain model through rat nerve ligation, lidocaine alone was injected into the surrounding nerve tissue at a concentration of 1.6 mg / kg to 5 mg / kg, and a hydrogel loaded with lidocaine at the same concentration was injected in the same manner. Consequently, it was confirmed that the pain control effect was significantly increased in the group injected with the lidocaine-loaded hydrogel compared to the animal model injected with lidocaine alone. In addition, through the experiment in Fig. 4b, the pain control effect was compared with that of a Ropivacaine-hydrogel formulation that has already been developed and is currently being used in clinical practice. It was confirmed that the injection of the lidocaine-loaded hydrogel invented in this invention could stably maintain the pain control effect in a pain model for up to 14 days, compared to the Ropivacaine-hydrogel which can maintain the pain control effect for up to 3 days.
