A PHA polyurethane microsphere, its preparation method and application
[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024118632989, filed on December 17, 2024, entitled "A PHA Polyurethane Microsphere and its Preparation Method and Application", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of functional polymer materials, and in particular to a PHA polyurethane microsphere, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0003] The continuous improvement of medical standards is inseparable from the rapid development of medical materials. Since the application of microencapsulation technology to drug formulations in the field of microcapsules in the 1970s, microcapsules prepared using biopolymer materials have achieved rapid development and widespread application in fields such as biomedicine and genetic engineering. A microcapsule is a closed micro-container with a core-shell structure, which has the same release mechanism as a capsule: the drug is encapsulated within it and released through diffusion or degradation of the carrier.
[0004] Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a class of natural polymeric biomaterials. They are intracellular polyesters synthesized by microorganisms and possess advantages such as economical and environmentally friendly preparation, biodegradability, and good biocompatibility. Therefore, PHAs are considered biomaterials with enormous potential, and PHA-based biomaterials have wide applications in drug delivery carriers, bioscaffolds, tissue engineering, bone graft substitutes, wound dressings, antibacterial membranes, medical implants, and hemostatic agents, making them one of the most ideal biomedical materials available today.
[0005] Polyurethane, as a synthetic polymer, can be used as a biomaterial for implantation in the human body, possessing excellent biological and mechanical properties, and has been extensively studied in drug release applications. For example, Liu Yuhong et al. prepared polyurethane microcapsules using 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and lignin as raw materials, and studied the factors affecting drug release using nifedipine as a mimic drug. Lin Song synthesized polyurethane microcapsules using polyethylene glycol, polycaprolactone, isophorone diisocyanate, and dimethylolpropionic acid as a chain extender, and studied their biodegradability. Mohajnlnad et al. synthesized a series of polyurethane microspheres with different particle sizes by changing the ratio of raw materials to chain extender, using diphenylmethane diisocyanate and multifunctional polyurethane polyols as raw materials, PVP as a dispersant, and ethylenediamine as a chain extender.

[0028] To make the technical solutions and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below.
[0029] For simplicity, this paper only explicitly discloses some numerical ranges. However, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form an undefined range; and any lower limit can be combined with other lower limits to form an undefined range, just as any upper limit can be combined with any other upper limit to form an undefined range. Furthermore, although not explicitly stated, every point or individual value between the endpoints of a range is included within that range. Therefore, each point or individual value can serve as its own lower or upper limit and be combined with any other point or individual value, or with other lower or upper limits, to form an undefined range.
[0030] In this description, it should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, "above" and "below" include the stated number, and "multiple" in "one or more" means two or more.
[0031] The foregoing description of this application is not intended to describe every disclosed implementation or method. Instead, the following description provides more specific examples of exemplary embodiments. Throughout the application, guidance is provided through a series of embodiments that can be used in various combinations. The examples listed are representative only and should not be construed as exhaustive.
[0032] The first aspect of this disclosure provides a method for preparing PHA polyurethane microspheres, specifically including the following steps:
[0033] Polyhydroxy fatty acid ester diol and diisocyanate are fed in a molar ratio of 1:(1.2~1.6) and reacted. Under the condition of adding a first catalyst at a certain amount, polymerization is completed to obtain the first reactant. The molecular weight of the polyhydroxy fatty acid ester diol is 1200~3500.
[0034] A chain extender and a dihydroxyalkyl acid are added to the first reactant, and the reaction is completed to obtain the second reactant. The molar ratio of the chain extender to the dihydroxyalkyl acid is 10~13:1, and the isocyanate groups in the system are completely reacted.
[0035] Add water to the second reactant and stir to obtain a PHA polyurethane aqueous solution with a solid content of 25-40%.
[0036] The PHA polyurethane aqueous solution was added dropwise into a precipitating solution of a certain concentration to obtain PHA polyurethane microspheres.
[0037] In this embodiment, dihydroxyalkyl acid refers to a compound containing two hydroxyl groups and one carboxyl group.
[0038] This embodiment involves reacting a polyhydroxyalkanoate diol of a specific molecular weight with diisocyanate at a molar ratio of 1:(1.2~1.6) to obtain a polyurethane prepolymer with isocyanate ends. A specific proportion of chain extender and dihydroxyalkyl acid are then added for end-capping. The process is then performed using a condensed phase separation method in Ca... 2+ PHA polyurethane microspheres were obtained through cross-linking. The polyurethane microspheres obtained in this embodiment are uniform in size and have a moderate particle size. Compared with pure PHA microspheres, they are more tough and suitable for applications in multiple fields such as drug delivery and cosmetic fillers.
[0039] This embodiment, through formulation design and the use of specific proportions of reactants, enables controllable hard and soft segments of the polyurethane chain, resulting in more resilient polyurethane microspheres. Furthermore, by adjusting the amount of reactants added, the microsphere particle size and degradation rate can be controlled, enabling its application in multiple fields such as drug delivery and cosmetic fillers.
[0040] The PHA polyurethane microspheres prepared in this embodiment have higher polarity than pure PHA microspheres, stronger adhesion to cells, and are less prone to aggregation, making them easier to inject.
[0041] In some embodiments, the polyhydroxyalkanoate diol and diisocyanate are in a molar ratio of 1:(1.3~1.5). According to the embodiments of the present application, polyurethane microspheres prepared using polyhydroxyalkanoate diols in this molecular weight range exhibit higher toughness.
[0042] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the chain extender to the dihydroxyalkyl acid can be 10:1, 11:1, 12:1, or 13:1. The amount of dihydroxyalkyl acid added also affects the degradation rate; the higher the content of dihydroxyalkyl acid in the formulation, the faster the degradation rate.
[0043] In some embodiments, the molecular weight of the polyhydroxyalkanoate diol is 1500-2500. According to embodiments of the present application, polyurethane microspheres prepared using polyhydroxyalkanoate diols within this molecular weight range have smaller particle sizes and faster degradation rates.
[0044] In some embodiments, the chain extender is a polyether polyol or a polyester polyol. In some embodiments, the chain extender is polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol with a molecular weight of 200-1000.
[0045] In some embodiments, the polyhydroxyalkanoate diol is poly(β-hydroxybutyric acid) (PHB). In some embodiments, PHB from blue crystal microorganisms with a molecular weight of 50,000 may be used.
[0046] In some embodiments, the dihydroxyalkyl acid is at least one of dimethylolpropionic acid (DMPA) and dimethylolbutyric acid (DMBA).
[0047] In some embodiments, the first catalyst is dibutyltin dilaurate or tin isooctanoate.
[0048] In some embodiments, the diisocyanate is an aliphatic diisocyanate. In some embodiments, the diisocyanate may be at least one selected from isophorone diisocyanate, 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, and dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate.
[0049] In some embodiments, the precipitating solution is a calcium chloride solution, a magnesium chloride solution, or an aluminum sulfate solution with a concentration of 4-8 wt%. In some embodiments, the concentration of the precipitating solution is selected as 5-7 wt%. In some embodiments, the precipitating solution is selected as a 6 wt% calcium chloride solution.
[0050] In some embodiments, the polyhydroxy fatty acid ester diol is prepared by mixing polyhydroxy fatty acid ester, diol, second catalyst, and solvent, reacting at 42~48℃ for 1-5 hours, followed by vacuum polycondensation for 1-3.5 hours, and then obtaining the polyhydroxy fatty acid ester diol after purification and drying.
[0051] In some embodiments, the preparation method of the polyhydroxyalkanoate diol is as follows: A polyhydroxyalkanoate and a solvent are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:8 to 12, heated to 43 to 47°C, and a diol with a molar amount of 4 to 6 times that of the polyhydroxyalkanoate and a catalytic amount of catalyst are added. After reacting for 2 to 4 hours, vacuum polycondensation is performed for 1 to 2.5 hours. After purification and drying, the polyhydroxyalkanoate diol is obtained. As a specific example, a polyhydroxyalkanoate and a solvent are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:10, heated to 45°C, and a diol with a molar amount of 5 times that of the polyhydroxyalkanoate and a catalytic amount of catalyst are added. After reacting for 3 hours, vacuum polycondensation is performed for 2 hours. The system is then cooled to room temperature and purified to obtain the polyhydroxyalkanoate diol.
[0052] In some embodiments, the diol is at least one selected from propylene glycol, butanediol, and hexanediol. Preferably, the diol is succinic acid.
[0053] In some embodiments, the second catalyst is at least one selected from p-toluenesulfonic acid, tetrabutyl titanate, and tetraisopropyl titanate. Preferably, the second catalyst is tetrabutyl titanate.
[0054] In some embodiments, the PHA polyurethane microspheres have a microsphere diameter ≤75nm, a degradation rate ≥85Wt% / 90days, an elongation at break of 44~70%, and a tensile strength of 0.9~1.5MPa.
[0055] The second aspect of this embodiment provides a PHA polyurethane microsphere prepared according to the above method.
[0056] The third aspect of this embodiment provides the application of PHA polyurethane microspheres in drug-loaded microspheres and cosmetic fillers.
[0057] In the field of drug-loaded microspheres, the diameter of the microspheres is typically below 65 micrometers, because excessively large microspheres can cause aggregation or precipitation, clogging the needle and reducing drug bioavailability. Therefore, for drug-loaded microspheres, PHA polyurethane microspheres with a diameter ≤65 nm are preferred.
[0058] Preparation Example 1
[0059] PHB (purchased from Blue Crystal Microorganisms, molecular weight 50,000) was dissolved in chloroform at a mass-to-volume ratio of 1:10. The solution was stirred until completely dissolved, filtered under reduced pressure, and the filtrate was transferred to a rotary evaporator. The filtrate was concentrated by rotary evaporation, and the concentrated liquid was poured into ice-cold methanol at 0°C and stirred until precipitation occurred. After vacuum filtration, a yellow flocculent substance was obtained, which was dried under reduced pressure at 40°C to constant weight to obtain purified PHB.
[0060] PHB and chloroform were added to a flask at a mass ratio of 1:10. A condenser and a liquid seal device were attached, and the flask was heated to 45°C in a magnetic stirrer until fully dissolved. Then, 1,4-butanediol (5 times the molar amount of PHB) and tetrabutyl titanate (2 wt‰ of the total mass of the catalyst) were added to initiate an esterification reaction. After 3 hours of reaction, the mixture was subjected to vacuum polycondensation for 1 hour. After the reaction was completed, the system was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature. The solution was then poured into a separatory funnel, washed three times with water, and filtered under reduced pressure to obtain a yellow liquid. The concentrated liquid was obtained by rotary evaporation. The concentrated liquid was added to ice-cold methanol at 0°C and stirred until precipitation occurred. After vacuum filtration, a yellow powder was obtained. The powder was dried under vacuum at 40°C to constant weight to obtain PHB diol with a molecular weight of 1600.

[0069] Example 1
[0070] The PHB diol prepared in Example 1 was reacted with IPDI at a molar ratio of 1:1.4. First, the raw material PHB diol and a catalyst (dibutyltin dilaurate) accounting for 2 wt‰ of the total mass fraction of PHB diol and IPDI were added to a flask and heated and stirred for 30 min at 60°C. After the temperature stabilized, IPDI was added dropwise to the flask at a rate of 1 drop per second using a constant pressure dropping funnel. After the addition was complete, the -NCO content was measured after 2 h of reaction. Once the -NCO content in the reaction system remained constant, 0.37 times the molar amount of PEG-200 and 0.03 times the molar amount of DMPA were added. After the NCO groups disappeared, a neutralizing agent was added, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min to neutralize the PHB polyurethane. Then, the stirring speed was increased to 1000 r / min, and distilled water was added to obtain a PHB polyurethane aqueous solution with a solid content of 25%. This solution was then added dropwise to a 6 wt% CaCl2 solution, and the condensed phase separation method was used to separate the NCO groups from the solids. 2+ PHB polyurethane microspheres were formed under the cross-linking effect, and then removed and dried at room temperature after 24 hours.
