This invention belongs to the technical field of medical materials and discloses a core-shell microneedle patch with anti-inflammatory and
cartilage-protective functions, its preparation method, and its application. Method: 1) Prepare
psoralen-loaded nanoparticles Mi@PSO; 2) Prepare a shell solution by mixing methacryloyl
hyaluronic acid, HPA, and a
photoinitiator; prepare a core solution by mixing HA and Mi@PSO; add the shell solution to the needle cavity of a microneedle mold and perform
ultraviolet cross-linking to form the shell layer; add the core solution to the interior of the shell layer to form the core layer; add a
hyaluronic acid solution to the mold, dry to form a backing layer, and demold to obtain a core-shell microneedle patch with anti-inflammatory and
cartilage-protective functions. The microneedle patch of this invention has a regular needle morphology, a clear core-shell
layered structure, good mechanical properties and
skin puncture ability, and stable
continuous release behavior; achieving
inflammation regulation and
cartilage protection. The microneedle patch of this invention is used to prepare products for the local treatment of
rheumatoid arthritis.
