This invention discloses a core-shell microneedle with both antibacterial and
exudate-absorbing properties, and its preparation method, belonging to the field of microneedle
drug delivery systems and
acne treatment technology. The microneedle comprises: a core layer containing an
exudate-absorbing component for absorbing
exudate; and a shell layer covering the core layer, containing a microenvironment-responsive
drug delivery unit and antibacterial nanoparticles loaded within the
drug delivery unit. The
drug delivery unit responds to the microenvironment of the
acne lesion by releasing the antibacterial nanoparticles. This invention combines
baicalein and surfactant into nanoparticles, loaded into a ROS-responsive shell layer formed by TSPBA and
polyvinyl alcohol.
Sodium polyglutamate is introduced into the core layer as an exudate-absorbing component. The core-shell microneedle is prepared by a two-step
centrifugation method. This invention solves the problems of poor
drug permeability, uncontrollable release, and exudate affecting
treatment efficacy in traditional
acne treatments. It achieves targeted
drug release and exudate adsorption synergistic effects on acne lesions, improves drug
bioavailability, reduces systemic side effects, and is suitable for the treatment of acne, especially inflammatory and purulent acne.
