The invention discloses a
melanin-containing multi-layer structural color hydrogel microneedle patch and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that a
colloidal particle solution is injected into a microneedle mold, and a
colloidal crystal microneedle template is obtained through a deposition method; preparing a hydrogel pre-
polymerization solution from
melanin and a high-molecular
organic matter pre-
polymerization solution, injecting the hydrogel pre-
polymerization solution into a microneedle mold containing a
colloidal crystal microneedle template, and curing the hydrogel pre-polymerization solution to obtain a
colloidal crystal hydrogel mixed microneedle patch; after the colloidal
crystal microneedle template is removed, the inverse opal structure
hydrogel scaffold containing
melanin is obtained; preparing a pre-gel solution of a
drug-added temperature-sensitive
polymer material, pouring the pre-gel solution into holes of the prepared inverse opal structure hydrogel
stent, and cooling and curing to form a shell layer, thereby obtaining the hydrogel
stent. The hydrogel microneedle patch provided by the invention contains an inverse opal structure bracket with photo-thermal conversion capacity and inherent immunoregulation performance and a temperature-sensitive gel outer layer loaded with
drug components, and integrates multiple functions of photo-thermal response,
drug release, immunoregulation, sensing and the like.
