The preparation method of timolol maleate sustained-release micro-spheres
Technical field
The invention belongs to medical art, particularly a kind of preparation method of water solublity intraocular pressure lowering medicament slow-release microsphere.
Background technology
Timolol maleate (timololmaleate) is selectivity beta-blockers, can reduce aqueous humor and generate, have the effect obviously reducing intraocular pressure, and on pupil size, light reflex and vision all without impact.Extensive use Timolol maleate eye drops treatment primary open angle glaucoma and aphakic glaucoma clinically.The curative effect of eye medicinal depends on medicine in the valid density of cornea and holdup time, tradition eye drop is 30s in the precorneal holdup time, 5% medicine is only had to be absorbed by cornea, need frequent drug administration, eye drop dosage is difficult to control, and major part enters blood circulation by conjunctiva or lacrimal ductule, lachrymal sac, nasolacrimal duct, nasal cavity, can cause side effect.But current this traditional administering mode accounts for 90% of whole market.How improving the ocular absorption of medicine, improve its therapeutic effect, reduce its untoward reaction, is the hot issue of current dosing eyes systematic study.
Medicine carrying microballoons (microspheres) is a kind of widely used Novel medicine feeding system, and it is with suitable macromolecular material for carrier, and make the spherical or class spherical particle of parcel or absorption medicine, particle diameter is generally at 1 ~ 250 μm.Microball preparation can prolong drug in the precorneal holdup time and slow releasing medicine, improve the bioavailability of medicine, reduce times for spraying, improve therapeutic index, reduce the toxic and side effects of medicine at eye or whole body.Therefore, the research and apply of sustained-release micro-spheres drug-supplying system will become the new trend of ophthalmic preparation development from now on.Microball preparation can targeting, slow releasing pharmaceutical, suspendible liquid condition can be used as eye drop or intraocular injection agent, reduce ophthalmic sense of discomfort.
Carrier material for the preparation of sustained-release micro-spheres has multiple, by sources can be divided into (1) natural macromolecular material, as cellulose, chitosan, protein; (2) synthesized polymer material, can be divided into again by biodegradation character: non-biodegradation type macromolecular material, as polyacrylic resin and derivant, polyvinyl alcohol; Biodegradable macromolecular material, as polyester, condensing model, poe, Merlon etc.
The method preparing microsphere can be divided into single breast (O/W type by emulsion type, w/o type, O/O type)-intra-liquid desiccation method and emulsion (W/O/W type and O/W/O type)-intra-liquid desiccation method two class: (1) single breast (O/W)-intra-liquid desiccation method is the conventional method of hydrophobic drug microsphereization, the method weak point is, obtained microsphere surface often inlays medicine crystal, the method is unsuitable for wrapping and carries the larger medicine of water solublity, because be easy to be dispensed to outer aqueous phase from oil-water interfaces cause entrapment efficiency obviously to decline in emulsifying and fluid drying process Chinese medicine in addition.(2) volatility process in emulsion (W/O/W)-liquid, the method is consuming time longer, wayward, yields poorly.Owing to introducing oil-water interfaces, particularly when colostrum is formed, system is very unstable.YilmazCapan etc. adopt the preparation of W/O/W-solvent evaporation method to be loaded with water-solubility protein---the polylactide microsphere of human growth hormone, the inadequate rounding of microsphere surface prepared by the method also has hole, mean diameter reaches 44.6 ± 2.47 μm, the relatively large and skewness of particle diameter.And, cause its drug loading relatively low because water soluble drug is easily diffused into outer aqueous phase from interior aqueous phase.(3) volatility process in single breast (O/O)-liquid, because inside and outside phase solvent is all lyophobic dust, can make water soluble drug envelop rate and drug loading greatly improve.Obtained microsphere outward appearance rounding, dashing forward, it is little to release, and major part can discharge whole medicine.

Detailed description of the invention
The preparation method of timolol maleate sustained-release micro-spheres, comprises the following steps:
5) timolol maleate, acrylic resin, tween, plasticizer, Montmorillonitum are scattered in organic solvent, make the concentration of acrylic resin be 30 ~ 100g/L, the concentration of tween is 20 ~ 60g/L, and the concentration of plasticizer is 5 ~ 20g/L, obtains interior phase;
6) span is dissolved in vegetable oil, the concentration making span is 10 ~ 40g/L, obtains foreign minister;
7) under stirring, instill foreign minister mutually by interior, form oily bag fat liquor;
8) emulsion is after supersound process 5 ~ 30min, phase in evaporation under electromagnetic agitation, and washing is dry, obtains sustained-release micro-spheres.
The stability of emulsifying agent to oily bag fat liquor is most important, and emulsifying agent of the present invention is preferably tween cheap and easy to get and span, obtains rational HLB value, makes Emulsion consistencies moderate, formed and stablize oily oil-in emulsion by the ratio of adjustment tween and span.
Acrylic resin is preferably EudragitRSPO and EudragitRLPO, and its mass ratio is 2 ~ 6:1.The object regulating timolol maleate rate of release is reached by regulating the ratio of EudragitRSPO and EudragitRLPO.
The film material transition temperature of propenoic acid resin series material is higher, fragility is comparatively large, causes ball fractured, therefore must add a certain proportion of plasticizer in film material when balling-up because of bad mechanical property, in order to increase the pliability during balling-up of film material, freely to control the size of microsphere.Plasticizer of a great variety, the present invention is preferably extensively easy to get and at least one in high triethyl citrate (TEC), Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), propylene glycol and the glycerol of safety.Preferred, plasticizer is TEC and glycerol.
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, set forth content of the present invention further.
