Aiming at the problems in the related art, the invention provides a preparation method of an aspirin-silicon dioxide slow-release body, which aims to overcome the technical problems in the prior related art.
The technical scheme of the invention is realized as follows:
a preparation method of aspirin-silicon dioxide sustained release body comprises the following steps:
(1) taking water glass and inorganic acid as reaction raw materials, and preparing silicon dioxide powder without adding a dispersing agent;
(2) immersing the silicon dioxide powder into aspirin solution to prepare aspirin-containing silicon dioxide;
(3) the aspirin-silicon dioxide slow release body is prepared by modifying aspirin-containing silicon dioxide by a dry method by using hexamethyldisilazane as a modifier.
According to the invention, cheap water glass and inorganic acid are reacted to prepare silicon dioxide rich in mesopores, then the silicon dioxide is used for adsorbing aspirin, finally grafting modification is carried out on the surface of the silicon dioxide loaded with the aspirin, the aspirin is coated by utilizing a grafting group ingeniously, steric hindrance is produced, the aspirin is prevented from flowing out of a mesopore structure quickly after entering a human body, and the aspirin-silicon dioxide slow release body prepared by the invention has stable drug release rate and can realize long-acting release.
The invention aims at the modified grafting of silicon dioxide, and has the following specific reaction formula:
according to the reaction formula, hexamethyldisilazane is hydrolyzed on the surface of silicon dioxide, hydroxyl of the silicon dioxide is replaced by trimethylsilyl, and the molecular structure of the trimethylsilyl forms an umbrella-like shielding structure on the surface of the silicon dioxide, so that the drug is prevented from flowing out of mesoporous pores of the silicon dioxide too fast, and the long-acting slow-release effect is realized; on the other hand, the surface of the silicon dioxide is rich in hydroxyl, has stronger hydrophilicity, is very easy to absorb moisture, is difficult to disperse and wet in an organic phase, and forms a grafting phenomenon among particles under the action of hydrogen bonds, so that the silicon dioxide is easy to agglomerate, and the dispersibility is very poor.
Secondly, most of the existing silica modification processes are wet modification, namely, silica and modified raw materials are placed in a liquid environment for stirring reaction, but the finished product modified by the wet modification needs separation and purification steps, so that the production steps are many, the cost is high, and the finished product is easy to pollute in the process, so that the dry modification is adopted in the invention; in addition, in view of the present invention, the silica is loaded with aspirin before being subjected to modified grafting, and if wet modification is adopted, part of aspirin is lost in a liquid reaction system, so that conventional wet modification is obviously not suitable for the present invention.
Finally, the existing silica preparation processes all add dispersing agents or other surfactants with the function of dispersing and homogenizing, but the inventor finds that: if the anionic or cationic dispersant is added, the reaction system for synthesizing the silicon dioxide is subjected to precipitation polymerization, so that the preparation of the silicon dioxide is influenced; the inventors have surprisingly found that the addition of no dispersant is an optimal choice, since the neutral dispersant causes the pore size of the silica to be small and the neutral dispersant easily aggregates on the surface of the silica to agglomerate the silica.
Preferably, in the step (1), the water glass is prepared into a water glass aqueous solution by using distilled water as a base solution, the inorganic acid is prepared into an inorganic acid aqueous solution by using distilled water as a base solution, and mixing is performed to synthetically prepare the silica, during which the pH value is maintained at 7 to 8 while stirring and heating are maintained.
Diluting the synthetic raw materials by the base solution, stirring and heating so as to reduce the viscosity of the reaction system; in addition, the larger the oil absorption value of the silicon dioxide is, the better the performance of the silicon dioxide is, and the larger the specific surface area and the pore volume of the silicon dioxide are, so that the applicant finds that compared with other base solutions, the silicon dioxide with the higher oil absorption value can be synthesized by adopting distilled water as the base solution, and the larger specific surface area and the pore volume are beneficial to the subsequent load of aspirin.
Specifically, the modulus of the water glass is 3-4, the silicon dioxide content of the water glass aqueous solution is 10-20 wt%, the inorganic acid is sulfuric acid, the cost is low, and the sulfuric acid content of the sulfuric acid aqueous solution is 20-30 wt%.
Preferably, in the step (1), the water glass aqueous solution and the inorganic acid aqueous solution are added to the reaction vessel in a concurrent flow manner for mixing and reacting. In actual batch production, if one-way feeding is adopted to precipitate silicon dioxide, due to the large feeding amount, even if a high-speed stirrer is adopted, the viscosity of the feed liquid is difficult to avoid to rise gradually, so that the fluidity of the feed liquid is reduced rapidly, and the serious agglomeration phenomenon occurs.
The applicant also finds that the long parallel flow time also has an influence on the specific surface area of the silicon dioxide, and through experiments, the long parallel flow time is 30-120min, so that the silicon dioxide with a larger specific surface area can be prepared, and the loading of the drug is facilitated.
Specifically, before the water glass aqueous solution and the inorganic acid aqueous solution are injected into the reaction container, part of the base solution is injected and heated to 40-60 ℃, the feed liquid after the silicon dioxide is synthesized is heated to 70-90 ℃, and then the aging and precipitation are carried out for 1-3 hours.
Preferably, in the step (1), ultrasonic agitation is used. The reason why ultrasonic agitation is particularly preferable in the present application is that: the synthesized silicon dioxide needs to be loaded with a drug subsequently, and ultrasonic stirring can cause the formation, growth and collapse of bubbles in a reaction system continuously, the collapse of the bubbles can cause impact on the interior of the silicon dioxide with low condensation polymerization degree, part of chemical bonds are broken, the internal space of the silicon dioxide finished product is larger, and the drug loading capacity is improved.
Preferably, in the step (1), a feed liquid obtained by mixing and reacting the water glass aqueous solution and the inorganic acid aqueous solution is acidified and filtered to obtain a silica filter cake, and the silica filter cake is washed to prepare a dry powder.
The PH also affects the oil absorption of the silica, and more preferably, the acidified PH is 2 to 4, which allows for the production of silica having a greater oil absorption and improved silica performance.
More preferably, the silicon dioxide filter cake is washed by using sulfuric acid with the concentration of 1 wt% and distilled water as washing liquids in sequence, so that the content of sodium ions and sulfate radicals of silicon dioxide in the filter cake is reduced, and then the filter cake is dried to prepare powder.
Specifically, the feed liquid obtained after the mixing reaction of the water glass aqueous solution and the inorganic acid aqueous solution is acidified and aged for at least 0.5h by adjusting the pH value to 2-4, and is cooled to 60-70 ℃, and then is filtered, wherein the operation of preparing the silicon dioxide filter cake into powder is as follows: and (3) uniformly dispersing the filter cake in a small amount of water again to prepare slurry, and drying in a spray drying mode to obtain powder.
Specifically, the operation of step (2) is: immersing the powder prepared in the step (1) into aspirin solution until the adsorption is balanced, and filtering and drying to prepare the aspirin-containing silicon dioxide.
Preferably, the specific operation of step (3) is: placing the silicon dioxide containing aspirin in a vacuum drying oven to spread, increasing the contact area with hexamethyldisilazane, wherein the hexamethyldisilazane accounts for 1-10% of the mass of the silicon dioxide containing aspirin, the hexamethyldisilazane contacts the surface of the silicon dioxide containing aspirin in a gas form to perform graft modification, setting the temperature of the vacuum drying oven to be 30-40 ℃, and starting a vacuum pump to pump vacuum after reacting for a certain period of time.
And (3) reacting in a vacuum drying oven, so that the hexamethyldisilazane is prevented from contacting air and being rapidly hydrolyzed into trimethylsilanol and hexamethyldisiloxane by being hydrolyzed into water. The application adopts the low temperature of 30-40 ℃ to dry the adsorbed water on the surface of the silicon dioxide, which is because the drying temperature is too high, the silicon dioxide is subjected to the phenomenon of pore combination, the pore volume is reduced, aspirin is extruded, and the drug-loading rate is reduced.
Preferably, the duration of the graft modification is 1-6h, when the duration is less than 1h, the methyldisilazane does not fully react with silicon dioxide, when the duration exceeds 6h, most of exposed hydroxyl groups are substituted by trimethylsilyl groups, and the remaining small part of hydroxyl groups are increased in steric hindrance due to the increase of trimethylsilyl groups with an umbrella-shaped structure, so that the contact with hexamethyldisilazane is not facilitated, the duration is increased, and the grafting rate is not obviously improved.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) according to the invention, cheap water glass and inorganic acid are reacted to prepare silicon dioxide rich in mesopores, then the silicon dioxide is used for adsorbing aspirin, finally grafting modification is carried out on the surface of the silicon dioxide loaded with the aspirin, the aspirin is coated by using a grafting group ingeniously, the steric hindrance is manufactured, the aspirin is prevented from flowing out of a mesopore structure quickly after entering a human body, the drug release rate is stable, and the long-acting release of the drug can be realized;
(2) according to the invention, the silicon dioxide is subjected to graft modification, and partial hydroxyl on the surface of the silicon dioxide is replaced, so that the hygroscopicity of the silicon dioxide is greatly reduced, the silicon dioxide is easy to store, and meanwhile, the reduction of the hydroxyl can effectively inhibit the recrystallization or reaggregation of the silicon dioxide, the dispersibility of the silicon dioxide is improved, and the further processing at a later stage is convenient;
(3) the mesoporous silica does not need to use a template agent, has simple and reliable preparation process, can be changed into other medicines according to the needs, and has wider application range.
