The invention discloses a photo-thermal self-healing
drug-loaded microneedle patch and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of transdermal
drug delivery. Firstly, an initial needle body is prepared from a synthetic
high polymer material, photo-thermal nano-particles and a first
solvent, after the initial needle body and a substrate prepared from a curable material are combined and cured, low-
temperature treatment is conducted, and a
drug-loaded microneedle patch is obtained; the preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a first
solvent and a second
solvent, demolding to obtain a preformed micro-needle patch, immersing the preformed micro-needle patch into the second solvent, carrying out solvent replacement on the first solvent and the second solvent,
drying to obtain a porous micro-needle patch, dropwise adding a vaccine solution or a drug solution to the surface of a needle body of the porous micro-needle patch, and enabling a vaccine or a drug to enter the needle body in a vacuum-assisted manner to obtain the porous micro-needle patch. And after
drying, applying near-
infrared light to irradiate, and accelerating the closing of the holes of the needle body based on a
photothermal effect to obtain the photothermal self-healing drug-loaded microneedle patch. The invention provides an efficient, stable and controllable novel delivery platform for the fields of
vaccine delivery,
immunotherapy, transdermal delivery of biological agents and the like.
