Description

Polymer composite microneedle capable of releasing drugs in programmed manner and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of drug delivery, and particularly relates to a polymer composite microneedle capable of releasing drugs in a programmed manner and a preparation method thereof.
Background
When some diseases are clinically treated, a plurality of medicines are often required to be combined for treatment. Because the action mechanisms and the metabolism conditions in vivo of the medicines are different, the medicines are often required to be firstly and rapidly released to exert the drug effect; then gradually releasing the other drug, thereby playing a role in enhancing or consolidating the therapeutic effect of the former. For example, in tumor immunodetection point therapy, it is first necessary to allow a CpG oligonucleotide (a nucleic acid drug) to act, causing immunosuppression; then aPD-1 is slowly released and acts gradually, so that the immunotherapy effect of aPD-1 can be better exerted. However, it is difficult to achieve programmed release of multiple drugs in a simple and effective manner by both conventional oral administration and injection administration. In recent years, with the development of micro-electro-mechanical processing technology, microneedles have received attention as a novel drug delivery method. The micro-needle generally refers to a needle composed of metal, silicon, polymer and other materials and having a micron-sized three-dimensional array structure, and the micro-needle can penetrate through the epidermis layer of the skin after being loaded with a target drug so as to achieve the purpose of positioning and drug delivery in the skin. The microneedle can overcome the barrier effect of the skin stratum corneum to the drug, and has high administration efficiency. The length of the micro needle is generally 25-2000 mu m, and the micro needle can not touch nerve tissues and blood vessels after penetrating into the skin, so that a patient can not feel pain generally and the damage degree to the body is small. Meanwhile, the microneedle administration does not need special medical care personnel to operate, the patient can administer the drug by oneself, the use is convenient, and the patient can interrupt the administration at any time by combining the actual condition of the patient, so the compliance of the patient can be greatly improved by the microneedle administration mode. Therefore, the microneedle administration mode has great application prospect in the field of drug delivery.
Microneedles can be generally classified into four types, coated microneedles, solid microneedles, hollow microneedles, and soluble microneedles. The micro-needles of the types such as solid micro-needles and hollow micro-needles have the defects of harsh preparation conditions, high preparation technical requirements, low dosage, complex operation, easy infection and the like due to the defects of the structure and the preparation method. In contrast, the soluble microneedle is generally prepared from a biodegradable or biodegradable polymer material with good biocompatibility, and has the advantages of large drug loading, mild preparation conditions, simplicity and convenience in operation, high biological safety and the like. The drug embedded in the soluble micro-needle is gradually released along with the dissolution of the soluble material in the skin, so that the drug is absorbed and metabolized by human tissues. The soluble microneedle has high dissolving speed and short microneedle application time, but the prior art can not control the release speed of the carried drug according to different requirements of different drugs. Meanwhile, the existing soluble polymer microneedle can realize the synchronous release of a plurality of medicaments, but cannot realize the programmed release of the plurality of medicaments, thereby greatly limiting the application of the soluble microneedle in the field of medicament delivery.
