The invention discloses an
inflammation-targeted
drug-loaded microgel precursor based on
probiotic spores and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of biological medicines.
Polysaccharide is modified on the surface of a
probiotic spore through an amido bond to load a first-line
drug for treating IBD, and the outermost layer is chelated with
metal ions to form an
inflammation-targeted
drug-loaded microgel precursor. Compared with the traditional hydrogel, the
system has the advantages that the protection effect of the
system on the
medicine is far better than that of the traditional hydrogel, benefited from the natural
germination characteristic of the intestinal tract after spores are orally taken, the
medicine-carrying microgel precursor forms the
medicine-carrying microgel along with the shedding of the
spore shell
protein, and the medicine-carrying microgel targets the positively charged inflammatory
intestinal epithelium part, so that the targeted
controlled release of the medicine is realized, and the
intestinal inflammation is reduced; meanwhile, the microgel simulates the effect of an intestinal
physical barrier, an artificial
mucus coating is formed to prevent harmful
bacteria from invading to an intrinsic layer, and the microgel and the probiotics are combined to regulate intestinal
flora, so that synergistic treatment of IBD is achieved on the whole.
