The invention discloses a
ziconotide-loaded
PLGA (poly (lactic-co-
glycolic acid)) sustained-release
microsphere as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The
PLGA microspheres are mainly prepared from a
polylactic acid-
glycolic acid copolymer (
PLGA),
ziconotide and
trehalose; the
PLGA microspheres are prepared from the following components in percentage by
mass: 85.2 to 95.6 percent of PLGA, 4.4 to 8.2 percent of
ziconotide and 0 to 7.4 percent of
trehalose, ziconotide
medicine is uniformly dispersed in PLGA, microspheres are prepared by adopting a double-emulsification method, and stable
medicine carrying microspheres are formed. The
PLGA microspheres prepared by the invention can realize long-time slow release of ziconotide, significantly prolong the
drug effect maintenance time, and show relatively low toxic and side effects
in vivo; by means of controllable degradation of the PLGA material, ziconotide can be continuously released
in vivo, the
bioavailability of the
medicine is improved, the compliance burden of a patient is reduced, the defects of an existing ziconotide administration mode are overcome, and an efficient, safe and sustainable slow-release treatment scheme is provided.
