Description

Parkinson disease micro-needle patch based on L-DOPA space-time controllable drug delivery strategy and preparation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of microneedle patches, in particular to a Parkinson microneedle patch based on an L-DOPA space-time controllable drug delivery strategy and a preparation method thereof. A light-controlled drug-loaded microneedle patch article comprising a microneedle patch and capable of treating parkinson's disease by controlling the release dose of L-DOPA from the microneedle patch. The invention also relates to a method for preparing the light-operated drug-loaded microneedle patch product and application of the light-operated drug-loaded microneedle patch product to treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Background
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system in the elderly. Common symptoms are tremor, stiffness and slowness of movement. Currently, oral administration of L-DOPA is one of the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Although this approach is very effective in ameliorating parkinson's symptoms, it can lead to choking as patients often have serious motor problems, even swallowing difficulties, which can lead to the drug getting stuck in the throat or entering the lungs. Even if the medicine is taken successfully, the medicine needs to stay in the digestive tract for several hours before entering blood, which brings many adverse factors to the treatment of nerve-related diseases with quick onset, strong damage and great harm to the body, and brings many sequelae to patients. In addition, most parkinson's drugs have gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and loss of appetite. Many drugs are easily damaged by corrosive gastric acid, gastric juice, intestinal juice, etc. In addition, the presence of a large number of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract can degrade many drugs or stimulate the host to reduce drug absorption. Therefore, there is a need to develop a more convenient and rapid drug administration method for non-oral administration, which can reduce the side effects on the digestive system, avoid the decomposition of the digestive juice, and improve the utilization rate of the drug. Transdermal patch therapy, a typical non-oral administration method, has received much attention and use because it effectively avoids the disadvantages of poor taste, irritation to the digestive system, and destruction of digestive juices or intestinal microorganisms. Here, we developed a microneedle patch that can precisely release a drug in a controlled time and space, triggered by near infrared light, for treating parkinson's disease.
The microneedle takes methacrylate gelatin (methacrylate gelatin) as a matrix, and the therapeutic drug (L-DOPA) is stored in the mesopores of the upconversion micro rod (UCMRs) and dispersed in the methacrylate gelatin. The molecular motor acts as a pore blocker and gate switch and isomerizes under the excitation of UCMRs ultraviolet and visible light to control drug release. The microneedle patch penetrates the epidermis in a painless, non-invasive, and infection-free manner. At 1.56W/cm2Under near infrared (980nm) radiation, UCMRs emit ultraviolet and visible light. After the photons are absorbed by azo molecules in mesoporous silica on the surface of UCMRs, reversible photoisomerization is immediately carried out, so that the azo molecules continuously rotate and reversely move. Oscillation of the azo molecule results in controlled release of L-DOPA from the microneedles. The L-DOPA in the microneedles will be released as needed and then penetrate into the blood and brain, relieving the symptoms of PD. In thatThis protocol significantly restored motor function in the treatment of the parkinson mouse model, and further mechanistic studies showed that it reduced neuroinflammation and the death of nigral dopaminergic neurons. The released L-DOPA directly enters the blood, thereby reducing the side effect on the gastrointestinal tract and improving the utilization rate of the medicament. These advantages suggest that microneedle patch-controlled drug delivery systems may be candidate strategies for treating parkinson's disease and may be applied in relevant biomedical fields.
The microneedle drug delivery is a novel local transdermal drug delivery technology, combines the convenience of emplastrum and the effectiveness of subcutaneous injection drug delivery, avoids the defects of other drug delivery modes, and has the advantages of no contact with nerves, safety, no pain, high-efficiency permeation and the like.
Microneedle articles typically comprise a plurality of microneedles, typically no more than about 1mm in length, which are capable of forming microchannels in the stratum corneum, breaking through the barrier of the stratum corneum, and promoting drug penetration, thereby reducing the amount of drug accumulated in the stratum corneum and increasing the amount of drug delivered to the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues. Therefore, the microneedle product is widely applied to promoting the transdermal absorption of micromolecular and macromolecular drugs, is used for treating obesity, diabetes, cancer, neurological diseases and other diseases, and has wide application prospect. In addition, the microneedle product is extremely convenient to use, does not need professional training, can be automatically administrated by patients, has low accidental needle stick injury risk and is easy to treat after use.
However, no document in the prior art discloses that the light-operated drug-loaded treatment of the Parkinson disease is combined with a microneedle technology, a microneedle patch system with the light-operated drug release rate is realized, the use efficiency of the Parkinson treatment drug is improved, and the treatment effect is enhanced.

The upconversion nanorod delivery system is formed by preparing UCMRs @ mSiO in the microneedle 1102-azo and therapeutic drug (L-DOPA) were stirred at room temperature for 24h, thus obtaining UCMRs @ mSiO2azo-L-DOPA, this being the upconversion microrod delivery system described above.
In addition, in the photo-controlled drug-loaded microneedle patch product 100 of the present invention as described above, the content of the therapeutic drug (L-DOPA) in the microneedles 110 is not particularly limited as long as it can release a sufficient concentration during a treatment period, and the content can be adjusted for different degrees of progression and symptoms of parkinson's disease.
In the light-controlled drug-loaded microneedle patch product 100 of the present invention as described above, the base material in which the matrix is formed is not particularly limited as long as the base material commonly used in the art for preparing microneedle products can be used in the present invention.
However, considering that the microneedles 110 formed in the case of the present invention need to have a certain mechanical strength and that the microneedles 110 after curing also preferably need to have a certain porosity, the matrix is preferably formed by crosslinking and/or drying an aqueous solution containing one or more of the following: polyethylene glycol diacrylate, silk fibroin, methacrylate gelatin, carboxymethyl cellulose, trehalose, hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, polylactic acid, galactose, polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyvinyl alcohol, preferably methacrylate gelatin and/or hyaluronic acid, more preferably methacrylate gelatin.
Here, the matrix is preferably selected from methacrylate gelatin and/or hyaluronic acid. Methacrylate Gelatin is prepared from Methacrylic Anhydride (MA) and Gelatin (Gelatin), wherein they are crosslinked by ultraviolet irradiation under the mediation of a photosensitizer to form a porous structure with certain intensity. Methacrylate gelatin has excellent biocompatibility. Hyaluronic acid is a mucopolysaccharide, has skin protecting effect, and can be used for accelerating wound healing.
In the light-controlled drug-loaded microneedle patch article 100 of the present invention as described above, the backing material in which the backing 120 is formed is not particularly limited as long as a backing material commonly used in the art for preparing microneedles can be used in the present invention.
However, in the present invention, in view of the need for the formed backing 120 to have a certain mechanical strength and flexibility, the backing 120 is preferably formed by crosslinking and/or drying an aqueous solution containing one or more of the following: polyethylene glycol diacrylate, silk fibroin, methacrylate gelatin, carboxymethyl cellulose, trehalose, hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, polylactic acid, galactose, polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyvinyl alcohol, preferably polyvinyl alcohol.

In addition, it is preferred that in some cases, in the light-controlled drug-loaded microneedle patch article 100 of the present invention, the material forming the matrix and the backing 120 is the same. In these cases, the microneedle 110 and backing 120 are more firmly bonded, and in the method of manufacturing the light control drug-loaded microneedle patch microneedle article 100 as described below, the microneedle array and the backing 120 may be integrally formed, simplifying the manufacturing process.
Alternatively, in other cases, the material of the matrix and the backing 120 are preferably different, for example, the matrix material is methacrylate gelatin and the backing material is polyvinyl alcohol. In this case, the microneedles 110 have a certain strength and a porous structure and excellent biocompatibility, and the backing 120 has a better protective effect on the skin, reducing the possibility of skin infection and inflammation.
It is to be noted that it is well within the ability of the person skilled in the art to make a suitable choice of the base material and the backing material depending on the desired application.
In addition, in the light control drug-loaded microneedle patch product 100 of the present invention, the size and shape of the microneedles 110 are not particularly limited and may be varied within a wide range according to the site to which the light control drug-loaded microneedle patch product 100 of the present invention is applied.

The height h is preferably not less than 200 μm, otherwise the microneedles 110 are not easily penetrated through the stratum corneum of the skin of some animal bodies, preferably some parts of the human body. However, said height h is also preferably not higher than 1mm, otherwise it may penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin of some animal bodies, preferably of some parts of the human body, to reach the nerve layer, causing pain.
In addition, as shown in fig. 1 of the specification, in the light control drug-loaded microneedle patch product 100 of the present invention, the base end of the microneedle 110 preferably has a base end diameter w of 100 μm to 500 μm. The base diameter w is preferably not less than 100 μm, otherwise the microneedles 110 may have insufficient mechanical strength and may be easily broken. In addition, the base end diameter w is also preferably no greater than 500 μm, which would otherwise leave a large hole in the skin after the light-controlled drug-loaded microneedle patch product 100 of the present invention is applied to some portion of an animal body, preferably a human body, resulting in problems with skin aesthetics and healing.
In addition, in the light control drug-loaded microneedle patch article 100 of the present invention, the stereoscopic shape of the microneedles 110 is not particularly limited, and may be a cylinder, a cone, a truncated cone, or the like, or a combination thereof, preferably a regular or irregular cone, a cone-like, a triangular pyramid, a rectangular pyramid, or a higher pyramid, and these cones, cone-like, triangular pyramids, rectangular pyramids, or higher pyramids may be regular pyramids or oblique pyramids.

In addition, in practical applications, the microneedles 110 in the photo-controlled drug-loaded microneedle patch product 100 of the present invention may be the same or different from each other in size, shape, and composition. Here, the differences between the plurality of microneedles 110 may be various, including but not limited to shape, height h, bottom surface diameter w, tip distance d, included matrix material, upconversion microrod drug delivery system, and the like. For example, in the light control drug-loaded microneedle patch article 100 of the present invention, a portion of the microneedles 110 may have a higher content of L-DOPA, and another portion of the microneedles 110 may have a lower content of L-DOPA. Alternatively, the microneedles 110 may have regularly periodically varying volumes at intervals. In these cases, the applicability of the light-loaded microneedle patch article 100 of the present invention to mitigate and/or treat various degrees of progression of parkinson's disease can be broadened.

The molding holes 201 should have a height h, a bottom width w, and a tip interval d of the molding holes 201 corresponding to the height h, the bottom width w, and the tip interval d of the microneedles 110. However, in some cases, the molding hole 201 may also have a height h and a bottom surface width w of the molding hole 201 greater than the height h and the bottom surface width w of the microneedle 110. In the latter case, the microneedles 110 are formed not to fill the molding holes 201.

In the step 5, the crosslinking can be achieved by various means such as ultraviolet, heat, electron beam, radiation, and the like. The drying and curing can be achieved, for example, by natural drying or drying in an oven at a certain temperature. For example, one skilled in the art can determine that the crosslinking can be achieved by uv crosslinking in the presence of photosensitizing mediators well known in the art.
