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 existing in the prior related art.
The technical scheme of the invention is realized as follows:
a method for preparing an aspirin-silica slow release body, comprising 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 an aspirin solution to prepare silicon dioxide containing aspirin;
(3) And (3) modifying the silicon dioxide containing the aspirin by a dry method by taking hexamethyldisilazane as a modifier to prepare the aspirin-silicon dioxide slow-release body.
The invention firstly utilizes cheap sodium silicate and inorganic acid to react to prepare the silicon dioxide rich in mesopores, then adopts the silicon dioxide to adsorb aspirin, and finally carries out grafting modification on the surface of the silicon dioxide loaded with the aspirin, thereby skillfully utilizing a grafting group to coat the aspirin, manufacturing steric hindrance, avoiding the aspirin from rapidly flowing out of a mesopore structure after entering a human body, ensuring stable release rate of the aspirin-silicon dioxide slow-release body medicament and realizing long-acting release.
The specific reaction formula of the modified grafting for silicon dioxide is as follows:
according to the reaction formula, hexamethyldisilazane is hydrolyzed on the surface of silicon dioxide, the hydroxyl of the silicon dioxide is replaced by trimethylsilyl, and the trimethylsilyl molecular structure forms an approximately umbrella-shaped shielding structure on the surface of the silicon dioxide to prevent the medicine from flowing out of the mesoporous of the silicon dioxide too quickly, so that the long-acting slow release effect is realized; on the other hand, the surface of the silicon dioxide is rich in hydroxyl groups, has stronger hydrophilicity, is extremely easy to absorb moisture, is difficult to disperse and wet in an organic phase, and forms grafting phenomenon among particles under the action of hydrogen bonds, so that the silicon dioxide is easy to agglomerate and extremely poor in dispersibility, and the characteristics are obviously unfavorable for subsequent drug processing and storage.
Secondly, most of the existing silica modification processes are wet modification, namely, the silica and the modified raw materials are placed in a liquid environment for stirring reaction, but the finished product after the wet modification needs to be subjected to separation and purification steps, the production steps are high in cost, and the finished product is easy to pollute in the process, so that the invention adopts dry modification; in addition, focusing on the present invention, the silica has been loaded with aspirin prior to modification grafting, and if wet modification is employed, it will result in some of the aspirin being lost to the liquid reaction system, and therefore conventional wet modification is clearly unsuitable for the present invention.
Finally, the existing silica preparation process is added with dispersing agents or other surfactants with dispersing and homogenizing functions, but the inventor finds that: if the anionic or cationic dispersing agent is added, the reaction system for synthesizing the silicon dioxide can be subjected to precipitation, so that the preparation of the silicon dioxide is influenced; however, since neutral dispersants cause silica to have a small pore diameter and neutral dispersants tend to aggregate on the surface of silica, and thus the silica is agglomerated, the inventors have surprisingly found that the addition of no dispersant is the only best choice.
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 then the inorganic acid aqueous solution is mixed to prepare the silicon dioxide, wherein in the process, the pH value is kept between 7 and 8, and meanwhile, stirring and heating are kept.
Diluting the synthetic raw materials by using a base solution, stirring and heating, so as to reduce the viscosity of a reaction system; in addition, the larger the oil absorption value of the silicon dioxide is, the better the performance of the silicon dioxide is, the larger the specific surface area and the pore volume of the silicon dioxide are, and the applicant finds that compared with other base solutions, the silicon dioxide with 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 subsequent aspirin loading.
Specifically, the modulus of the water glass is 3-4, the silicon dioxide content of the water glass water solution is 10-20wt%, the inorganic acid is sulfuric acid, and the water glass has the advantage of low price, and the sulfuric acid content of the sulfuric acid water solution is 20-30wt%.
Preferably, in the step (1), the water glass aqueous solution and the inorganic acid aqueous solution are added to the reaction vessel in a parallel flow mode to be mixed and reacted. In actual mass production, when one-way feeding is adopted to precipitate silicon dioxide, due to the large feeding amount, even if a high-speed stirrer is adopted, the gradual increase of the viscosity of the feed liquid is difficult to avoid, the fluidity of the feed liquid is rapidly reduced, and serious agglomeration phenomenon occurs.
The applicant also finds that the parallel flow duration can also influence the specific surface area of the silicon dioxide, and through experiments, the silicon dioxide with larger specific surface area can be prepared with the parallel flow duration of 30-120min, which is beneficial to drug loading.
Specifically, before the water glass aqueous solution and the inorganic acid aqueous solution are injected into the reaction container, part of base solution is injected into the reaction container, the temperature is raised to 40-60 ℃, the temperature of the feed solution after synthesizing silicon dioxide is raised to 70-90 ℃, and then the reaction container is aged and precipitated for 1-3 hours.
Preferably, in the step (1), ultrasonic agitation is used. The reason why ultrasonic agitation is particularly preferred in the present application is that: the synthesized silicon dioxide is required to be loaded with medicines subsequently, and the ultrasonic stirring can continuously generate the formation, growth and collapse of bubbles in a reaction system, the collapse of the bubbles can cause impact on the inside of the silicon dioxide with lower polycondensation degree, and part of chemical bonds are broken, so that the internal space of a silicon dioxide finished product is larger, and the medicine loading capacity is improved.
Preferably, in the step (1), the feed liquid obtained after the water glass aqueous solution and the inorganic acid aqueous solution are mixed and reacted is acidified and filtered to obtain a silica filter cake, and the silica filter cake is washed and made into dry powder.
The pH also affects the oil absorption of the silica, more preferably, the pH of the acidification is 2 to 4, which can be used to make silica with a higher oil absorption and improve the silica performance.
More preferably, the silica filter cake is washed by taking sulfuric acid with the concentration of 1wt% and distilled water as washing liquid, the content of sodium ions and sulfate radicals in the silica filter cake is reduced, and then the silica filter cake is dried to prepare powder.
Specifically, the pH of the feed liquid after the water glass aqueous solution and the inorganic acid aqueous solution are mixed and reacted is adjusted to be 2-4, the feed liquid is acidified and aged for at least 0.5h, the feed liquid is cooled to 60-70 ℃ and then filtered, and the operation that the silicon dioxide filter cake is made into powder is as follows: and uniformly dispersing the filter cake in a small amount of water again to prepare slurry, and drying in a spray drying mode to obtain the powder.
Specifically, the operation of step (2) is as follows: immersing the powder prepared in the step (1) into an aspirin solution until the adsorption is balanced, filtering and drying to prepare the aspirin-containing silicon dioxide.
Preferably, the specific operation of the step (3) is as follows: spreading the silicon dioxide containing aspirin in a vacuum drying oven to enlarge 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 carry out grafting modification, the temperature of the vacuum drying oven is set to be 30-40 ℃, and a vacuum pump is started for vacuum pumping after a certain period of reaction.
And (3) reacting in a vacuum drying oven to prevent the hexamethyldisilazane from being rapidly hydrolyzed to generate trimethylsilanol and hexamethyldisiloxane by contacting with air. The adsorption water on the surface of the silicon dioxide is dried at the low temperature of 30-40 ℃, and the adsorption water is adsorbed on the surface of the silicon dioxide due to the fact that the phenomenon that pores of the silicon dioxide are combined is caused by the fact that the drying temperature is too high, so that the pore volume is reduced, aspirin is extruded, and the drug loading is reduced.
Preferably, the grafting modification time is 1-6h, if the time is less than 1h, the methyldisilazane is not fully reacted with silicon dioxide, if the time is more than 6h, the exposed hydroxyl is mostly replaced by trimethylsilyl, and the rest small hydroxyl is increased due to the increase of trimethylsilyl with umbrella-shaped structure, so that the steric hindrance is increased, the contact with hexamethyldisilazane is not facilitated, the time is increased, and the grafting rate is not obviously improved.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) The invention firstly utilizes cheap sodium silicate and inorganic acid to react to prepare mesoporous silica, then adopts the silica to adsorb aspirin, and finally carries out grafting modification on the surface of the silica loaded with the aspirin, and skillfully utilizes a grafting group to coat the aspirin, thereby manufacturing steric hindrance, avoiding the aspirin from rapidly flowing out of a mesoporous structure after entering a human body, ensuring stable drug release rate and realizing long-acting release of the drug;
(2) According to the invention, the silicon dioxide is subjected to grafting modification, part of hydroxyl groups on the surface of the silicon dioxide are replaced, so that the hygroscopicity of the silicon dioxide is greatly reduced, the silicon dioxide is easy to store, meanwhile, the reduction of hydroxyl groups can effectively inhibit the recrystallization or reaggregation of the silicon dioxide, the dispersibility of the silicon dioxide is improved, and the silicon dioxide is convenient to further process in a later period;
(3) The mesoporous silica of the invention does not need a template agent, has simple and reliable preparation process, can be changed into other medicines according to the needs, and has wider application range.
