Description

Silk fibroin microneedle transdermal patch for treating insomnia and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of transdermal drug delivery, and particularly relates to a silk fibroin microneedle transdermal patch for treating insomnia and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Melatonin, originally found in the bovine pineal gland in 1958, is a hormone synthesized by the pineal gland and released at night, and exogenous melatonin administration has been shown to have phase change or retiming biological clock rhythm and sleep-wake schedule effects. The physiological role of melatonin in regulating seasonal and circadian rhythms is thought to be mediated by specific, high affinity and G-protein coupled cell membrane receptors. Currently, the oral route is the most studied. Oral melatonin enters the liver through the digestive tract, so that the first pass effect of the liver is caused, and the bioavailability of the medicine is reduced by only about 20%. Meanwhile, oral melatonin is difficult to reach a certain blood concentration and maintain a high concentration for a long time. Therefore, transdermal delivery of melatonin may be a good route of administration.
The micro-needle transdermal drug delivery system is a novel mode of the transdermal drug delivery system, and is a needle-shaped complex structure with micron-sized dimensions. Compared with other transdermal drug delivery methods, the microneedle has unique advantages that: (1) compared with chemical permeation promotion and ion introduction, the microneedle can puncture the stratum corneum to generate tiny pore passages for the entrance of macromolecular drugs; (2) the micro-needle punctures the channel of the human body by only micron level, has no damage to the skin and is not enough to touch the nerve endings, so the pain sensation is almost not generated; (3) the micro-needle is combined with other methods, so that the transdermal penetration capacity of the medicament can be further improved.
In the prior art, a chinese patent with application number CN201811017105.2 discloses a preparation method of a melatonin microneedle patch, which includes the following steps: pouring a melatonin-containing polymer material aqueous solution on a mold with a micropore matrix, filling the polymer material aqueous solution into micropores on the mold, attaching a prefabricated backing layer to the mold, attaching the backing layer to the back of melatonin microneedles formed in the micropores, freezing, thawing, uncovering and drying to obtain the melatonin microneedle patch. But the release speed is slow, and the elimination speed of the medicine in the body is fast.

Further, the concentration of the microneedle matrix modification additive aqueous solution is 100-1000mg/mL, and the preferred concentration is 300-900mg/mL.
Further, in the mixed solution II, the mass ratio of the microneedle matrix modification additive to the silk fibroin is 1-5:10.
further, the drug dissolution additive is one or more of isopropanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, isobutanol and 2-butanol.
Further, the concentration of the drug dissolution additive aqueous solution is 100-800mg/mL, preferably 300-800mg/mL.
Further, in the mixed solution II, the mass ratio of the drug dissolution additive to the silk fibroin is 1:5-20.

Further, in step S5, drying is carried out for 4-8h under the condition of constant temperature and humidity (20-30 ℃ and 55-65%) air circulation, and the drug dissolving additive is small molecular alcohol, so that the drug dissolving additive is completely volatilized and removed in the drying process.
On the other hand, the invention provides the silk fibroin microneedle transdermal patch for treating insomnia, which is prepared by the preparation method. The micro-needle body of the obtained fibroin protein micro-needle transdermal patch is in a solid conical shape, the length of the needle body is 200-800 mu m, the diameter of the bottom is 100-400 mu m, and the interval between the adjacent needle bodies is 0.2-2mm.
The invention principle is as follows:
the silk fibroin is a natural protein, has good mechanical property and plasticity, good compatibility with human tissues, biodegradability, no toxicity and easy processing and preparation. A large number of hydrophilic groups contained in the gel can be better included with water-soluble drugs, so that the lipid-rich stratum corneum is broken through, and the transdermal penetration capability of the drugs is improved.
Melatonin is a fat-soluble drug, is insoluble in water and is difficult to be uniformly mixed with a silk fibroin solution. The intervention of the drug dissolving additive changes the molecular stereo arrangement of unit cells in the original crystal structure of the melatonin, so that the melatonin enters the drug dissolving additive in a molecular state. And then can be uniformly blended with silk fibroin to form uniform microneedles. The melatonin is uniformly distributed in the micro-needle, and the uniform release speed is obtained in the subsequent transdermal drug release. The microneedle matrix modification additive is added to promote silk fibroin to form a certain crystal structure, reduce the dissolution and dissolution rate, form a certain swelling pore diameter and control the release speed of melatonin.
The drug release additive is added to accelerate the release speed of the melatonin and improve the cumulative release amount of the melatonin. Due to the high hydrophilicity of the drug release additive, the drug can be dissolved and released in vivo more easily, and higher blood concentration can be achieved in a short time. Meanwhile, the solubility of the melatonin in body fluid is improved, the bioavailability of the melatonin is further improved, and the drug effect is enhanced, so that the addition amount of the drug is reduced. Therefore, after the drug release additive and the drug are included, the proportion, the type and the existence form of the drug can influence the solubility of the drug in the inclusion compound. Meanwhile, for melatonin, 4 controlled release effects, namely immediate release, delayed release (time-controlled release), extended release and controlled release, can be achieved through the inclusion effect of cyclodextrin on melatonin. The release speed can be improved or regulated by selecting proper cyclodextrin and adding proper amount and reasonably designing the formula of the melatonin microneedle.
Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has the following advantages: the melatonin microneedle patch prepared by the invention can quickly reach a certain blood level and keep the higher concentration of the in-vivo drug for a long time. Meanwhile, the micro-needle transdermal patch avoids the first-pass effect of the liver and can improve the bioavailability of the melatonin.

Detection example 1
The graph of the in vitro transdermal drug release curve of the microneedle patch prepared in examples 1-6 is shown in fig. 3, and it can be seen that silk fibroin microneedles with different swelling degrees can be obtained by adding microneedle matrix modification additives with different kinds and proportions, so that the drug release speed in the microneedles and the time for balancing the drug release can be adjusted. The drug dissolution additive can enhance the dissolution amount of the drug, thereby obtaining microneedles with different drug loading amounts. The drug release additive can promote the release amount of the drug in the microneedle, and improve the accumulative release rate of the microneedle and the bioavailability of the melatonin.
