Detailed Description
In order to further understand the objects, structures, features and functions of the present invention, the following embodiments are described in detail.
In order to make the description of the present disclosure more complete and complete, the following illustrative description is set forth in connection with the embodiments of the present invention; it is not intended to be the only form in which the embodiments of the invention may be practiced or utilized. The embodiments disclosed below may be combined with or substituted for one another where appropriate, and other embodiments may be added to the embodiments without further recitation or description.
The invention aims to provide a hydrogen sulfide slow-release dressing which comprises a hydrocolloid, a surfactant and sodium hydrosulfide. The hydrogen sulfide slow-release dressing can avoid the problem of cytotoxicity caused by releasing high-concentration hydrogen sulfide in a short time, so that the hydrogen sulfide slow-release dressing can be effectively applied to promoting the healing of chronic wounds. In the process of releasing the hydrogen sulfide slow release dressing, the concentration of the hydrogen sulfide can be less than 1300 μ M, preferably between 1 and 1000 μ M, and more preferably between 1 and 500 μ M.
In an embodiment of the hydrogen sulfide sustained release dressing of the present invention, the hydrocolloid may be 60 to 140 parts by weight, the surfactant may be 0.2 to 2 parts by weight, and the sodium hydrosulfide may be 0.1 to 0.5 parts by weight. When the amount of sodium hydrosulfide added is too large, the concentration of the released hydrogen sulfide gas may become too high, which may cause cytotoxicity. When the amount of sodium hydrosulfide added is too small, the concentration of the released hydrogen sulfide gas may be too low to effectively promote wound healing.
Suitable hydrocolloids may be Hydrocolloid (hydrocolloids) compositions known to be useful as dressings. Hydrocolloids have the ability to absorb wound exudate. After absorbing the exudate, the hydrophilic materials in the hydrocolloid can form a semisolid substance similar to gel, and the semisolid substance is attached to the base of a wound to provide and maintain a wet environment which is beneficial to wound healing. In addition, because of its adhesive properties, hydrocolloids form an occlusive (occlusive) wound surface to promote the proliferation of microvasculature and the formation of granulation tissue, thereby accelerating wound healing. The hydrocolloid dressing can provide a closed environment, is beneficial to macrophage to remove necrotic tissues, and has a debridement function. In an embodiment of the present invention, the hydrocolloid may comprise an elastomer, a hydrophilic polymer, a tackifier, and a ductility agent.
The elastomer is mainly used for molding and providing viscosity, flexibility and the like. Because the elastomer is of a hydrophobic structure, the sodium hydrosulfide is coated by the elastomer, so that the sodium hydrosulfide can be prevented from directly contacting with water, and the release rate of the hydrogen sulfide can be slowed down and regulated. Suitable elastomers may be, for example, any one of or a combination of styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) copolymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) copolymer, styrene- (ethylene-butylene) -styrene (SEBS) copolymer, styrene- (ethylene-propylene) -styrene (SEPS) copolymer, but are not limited thereto.
The hydrophilic polymer has a liquid-absorbing ability and has a crosslinked structure so that it does not dissolve but swells after absorbing an exudate, and thus can provide water-absorbing properties. The hydrophilic polymer that may be used may include natural, semisynthetic, or synthetic hydrophilic polymers. Natural hydrophilic polymers may include, for example, polysaccharide polymers such as pectin, gum arabic, guar gum, agar, starch, xanthan gum, dextran, and the like; and protein or polypeptide polymers such as gelatin, albumin, casein, etc. Semi-synthetic hydrophilic polymers may include, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, methylhydroxypropylcellulose, sodium alginate, carboxymethyl starch, and the like. Synthetic hydrophilic polymers may include, for example, acrylic polymers (e.g., polyacrylic acid and polyacrylamide), polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl methyl ether, and the like. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hydrophilic polymer may be at least one of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, sodium alginate, gelatin, pectin, carboxymethyl chitosan, guar gum, locust bean gum, collagen, and karaya gum, or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. When the hydrophilic polymer is added in an excessive amount, the water absorption rate of the hydrocolloid may become too high, and the release rate of hydrogen sulfide gas may become too high, resulting in cytotoxicity. When the amount of the hydrophilic polymer added is too small, the rate of release of hydrogen sulfide gas may be too low due to too low water absorption rate of the hydrocolloid, and wound healing may not be effectively promoted.
The tackifier can be used to further adjust the viscosity of the hydrocolloid. Suitable tackifiers may be at least one of rosin resins, terpene resins, C5 petroleum resins, C9 petroleum resins, and high purity dicyclopentadiene (H-DCPD) or a combination thereof.
The extender may provide wetting and/or viscosity control. Suitable extending agents may be at least one of mineral oil, liquid paraffin, castor oil, dibutyl phthalate, lanolin, and naphthenic oil, or combinations thereof.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the elastomer of the hydrocolloid may be 10 to 30 parts by weight, the hydrophilic polymer may be 20 to 60 parts by weight, the tackifier may be 20 to 60 parts by weight, and the extender may be 2 to 20 parts by weight.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the hydrocolloid may optionally further comprise 0.2 to 2 parts by weight of an antioxidant to avoid changes in properties caused by aging of the elastomer. Suitable antioxidants may be hindered phenols, thiosynergists (thiosynergists), phosphites or secondary aromatic amines (secondary aromatic amines).
The hydrophilic polymer is dispersed in the elastomer, and by adding the surfactant, the hydrophilic end of the hydrophilic polymer can enable the surface of the hydrocolloid to be soaked after meeting water, so that the hydrophilic polymer can swell and absorb seepage, and water molecules are promoted to permeate into the hydrophobic elastomer. Therefore, by adjusting the proportion of the hydrophilic polymer and the surfactant, the hydrocolloid can have different water absorption rates, and further the sodium hydrosulfide coated in the hydrocolloid has different hydrogen sulfide release rates according to the water absorption rate. In an embodiment of the present invention, the surfactant may be polysorbate 80, polysorbate 20, polysorbate 60 or polysorbate 40. When the amount of the surfactant added is too large, the absorption rate of the hydrocolloid may be too high and the release concentration of hydrogen sulfide may be too high. When the amount of the surfactant added is too small, the absorption rate of the hydrocolloid may be too slow, and the release rate of hydrogen sulfide may be affected.
Another embodiment of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a hydrogen sulfide sustained release dressing, which includes, but is not limited to, the following steps.
First, in step (a), the hydrocolloid material is heated and agitated. In an embodiment of the manufacturing method of the present invention, the hydrocolloid material may be 60 to 140 parts by weight, and the hydrocolloid material may include an elastomer, a hydrophilic polymer, a tackifier, and a ductility agent, for example, as described above. In a preferred embodiment of the manufacturing method of the present invention, the heating temperature in step (a) may be between 100 ℃ and 200 ℃, and the heating time may be between 1 hour and 1.5 hours.
Next, in step (b), a surfactant is added to the hydrocolloid material along with the sodium hydrosulfide. The surfactant may be added in an amount of 0.2 to 2 parts by weight, and the sodium hydrosulfide may be added in an amount of 0.1 to 0.5 parts by weight. In a preferred embodiment of the manufacturing method of the present invention, the step (b) may further comprise performing a heating process, wherein the heating temperature may be between 100 ℃ and 150 ℃, and the heating time may be between 15 minutes and 45 minutes.
Finally, in the step (c), the hydrocolloid material containing the surfactant and the sodium hydrosulfide is injected into a forming die to be hot-pressed and formed to form the hydrogen sulfide slow-release dressing. The hot pressing temperature may be, for example, between 50 ℃ and 100 ℃.
The following examples are intended to further illustrate the invention, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The hydrogen sulfide release rates of the hydrogen sulfide sustained-release dressings of examples 1 to 4 and comparative example 1 were measured by the methylene blue method.
First, a standard substance having a known concentration is prepared, and a calibration curve is prepared. The calibration curve was prepared by preparing 500. mu.L of a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4) containing 0.04mg/mL of sodium hydrosulfideThe sequence was diluted to standards of each concentration, and a phosphate buffer solution containing no sodium hydrosulfide was prepared.

Next, the dressings of examples 1 to 4 and comparative example 1 were placed in 1500. mu.L of phosphoric acid buffer solution, and left for 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours, 42 hours and 48 hours, respectively, and then 100. mu.L of the phosphoric acid buffer solution having been soaked in the dressing was taken out, and 100. mu.L of a 1.0 wt% aqueous solution of zinc acetate, 20. mu.L of a 20mM aqueous solution of N, N-dimethyl-1, 4-phenylenediamine sulfate and 7.2N aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride, and 20. mu.L of a 30mM aqueous solution of FeCl (FeCl) were added3) And a 1.2N aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride, and reacted for 20 minutes. The absorption intensity of methylene blue at a wavelength of 670nm was then measured for each solution to extrapolate the hydrogen sulfide concentration at different times for each dressing of the examples and comparative examples. The test results are shown in table 1 below.
Table 1: test results of examples 1 to 4 and comparative example 1
The hydrogen sulfide slow-release dressings prepared in examples 1 to 4 can effectively and slowly release hydrogen sulfide gas within 24 hours without exceeding the safe use concentration, and particularly, the hydrogen sulfide slow-release dressings prepared in examples 2 and 3 can prolong the release time to 48 hours.
