The invention relates to the technical field of
drug delivery, and discloses a multilayer
drug-loaded
microsphere for intraocular sustained-release therapy and a preparation process thereof.The multilayer
drug-loaded
microsphere comprises a core layer, a middle layer and a shell layer, the core layer is composed of a
polylactic acid-
glycolic acid copolymer (
PLGA) and a first
hydrophobic drug, the middle layer is formed by wrapping the core layer with
carboxymethyl chitosan, and the shell layer is composed of a first
hydrophobic drug and a second
hydrophobic drug. The first hydrophobic drug comprises a first therapeutic drug, the middle layer comprises a second therapeutic drug, the shell layer is composed of a
polylactic acid-
caprolactone copolymer PLCL and a third hydrophilic drug, and the first hydrophobic drug, the second therapeutic drug and the third hydrophilic drug are different from one another. Through the layered design of the core layer, the middle layer and the shell layer and in combination with differential degradation rates of
PLGA,
carboxymethyl chitosan and PLCL materials, gradient release of hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs is achieved, a
drug release curve is matched with the
pathological stage of intraocular diseases,
macular degeneration rapidly inhibits
vascular leakage in the early stage and continuously resists
inflammation in the later stage, and the effect of treating
macular degeneration is achieved. And the layered slow-release synergistic
treatment effect is verified.
