Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of liposome production, in particular to a preparation method of liposome.
Background
When amphiphilic molecules such as phospholipids and sphingolipids are dispersed in an internal aqueous phase, the hydrophobic tails of the molecules tend to aggregate together, bypassing the internal aqueous phase, while the hydrophilic heads are exposed to the internal aqueous phase, forming closed vesicles with a bilayer structure, known as liposomes. The liposome is used as a carrier and has wide application in the fields of cosmetics, skin care products, clinical medicine and the like.
The preparation of liposomes using microfluidic technology is currently a research hotspot. One common method for preparing liposomes by microfluidic technology is to make the oil phase in which the substance to be encapsulated is dissolved flow along the microchannel and the outer water phase flows through the outlet end of the microchannel, so as to squeeze and pinch the oil phase flowing out of the microchannel, and disperse the oil phase into the outer water phase to form the liposome.
In the prior art, a microinjection pump is mostly adopted to provide power for an oil phase and an external water phase, so that the oil phase and the external water phase meet at a basically constant speed. When the liposome is prepared by the method; in order to enable the oil phase to be well dispersed into the outer water phase to form liposome, rather than forming parallel layered fluid with the outer water phase; the flow rate of the oil phase needs to be limited to be extremely slow, and the defects of low preparation flux and slow preparation rate exist.

Which causes the oil phase to rapidly switch between a flowing state and a stopped flowing state, intermittently diffuses into the outer aqueous phase to form liposomes. Therefore, the formation of parallel layered fluid with the external water phase when the oil phase flows rapidly can be effectively avoided, the flow rate limit of the oil phase is broken, and the preparation flux and the preparation rate of the liposome are improved.

Specifically, when the internal water phase pump drives the internal water phase to overflow from the outlet end of the first micro-channel, the mixed phase also overflows from the outlet end of the second micro-channel; and then the outer water phase pump drives the outer water phase to flow along the second channel, so that the overflowed mixed phase of the outer water phase is extruded and wrapped, and the mixed phase is dispersed into the outer water phase to form the liposome.

The frequency of switching the conveying state and stopping the conveying state in the unit time of the oil phase pump 4 and the external water phase pump 7 is in direct proportion to the conveying amount in the unit time. The rate of preparing the vitamin A liposome solution in the first embodiment is adjusted by adjusting the delivery amount of the oil phase pump 4 and the external water phase pump 7 in unit time; and samples were taken to determine the encapsulation efficiency for each of the different preparation rates of the examples. The rate of preparing the vitamin A liposome solution in the first comparative example is adjusted by adjusting the delivery capacity of the oil phase microinjection pump and the external water phase microinjection pump in unit time; and samples were taken to measure the encapsulation efficiency corresponding to a different preparation rate of the comparative example.

In contrast, in comparative example one, the encapsulation efficiency was difficult to maintain at a good level and was continuously decreased as the preparation rate was continuously increased.
For the second embodiment and the second comparative embodiment, except for the internal water phase pump 9 for intermittently conveying the internal water phase and the internal water phase microinjection pump for uniformly conveying the internal water phase, the oil phase pump 4 for intermittently conveying the oil phase and the oil phase microinjection pump for uniformly conveying the oil phase, and the external water phase pump 7 for intermittently conveying the external water phase and the external water phase microinjection pump for uniformly conveying the external water phase; the other devices all adopt the same specification. The frequency of switching the conveying state and stopping the conveying state in the unit time of the inner water phase pump 9, the oil phase pump 4 and the outer water phase pump 7 is in direct proportion to the conveying amount in the unit time. The rate of preparing the doxorubicin liposome solution of the first embodiment is adjusted by adjusting the delivery amount per unit time of the inner water phase pump 9, the oil phase pump 4 and the outer water phase pump 7; and samples were taken to determine the encapsulation efficiency for each of the different preparation rates of the examples. The rate of preparing the doxorubicin liposome solution in the comparative example one is adjusted by adjusting the delivery rate of the inner water phase microinjection pump, the oil phase microinjection pump and the outer water phase microinjection pump in unit time; and samples were taken to measure the encapsulation efficiency corresponding to a different preparation rate of the comparative example. A graph of the coordinates was made with the preparation rate on the abscissa and the encapsulation efficiency on the ordinate, and the results are shown in fig. 2.
As can be seen from fig. 2, the encapsulation efficiency of the doxorubicin liposome solution prepared in example one did not significantly decrease with increasing preparation rate; that is, as long as the frequency of switching the conveyance state and the stop conveyance state in a unit time by the inner aqueous phase pump 9, the oil phase pump 4, and the outer aqueous phase pump 7 is increased, that is, the number of times of circulating steps S2 to S5 in a unit time; the preparation rate of the doxorubicin liposome solution can be increased without obstacle. In contrast, in comparative example one, the encapsulation efficiency was difficult to maintain at a good level and was continuously decreased as the preparation rate was continuously increased.

As shown in fig. 11 to 16, in the first and second embodiments, the oil phase pump 4 for intermittently feeding the oil phase may have the following structure. The oil phase pump 4 includes: the variable-volume pump comprises a pump chamber 16 with a variable-volume cavity, a liquid inlet cavity channel 17 and a liquid outlet cavity channel 18 which are communicated with the variable-volume cavity, a liquid inlet control 19 limited in the liquid inlet cavity channel 17, a liquid outlet control 20 limited in the liquid outlet cavity channel 18, and a variable-volume mechanism for periodically changing the volume of the variable-volume cavity so as to enable the liquid inlet control 19 and the liquid outlet control 20 to periodically act. The volume of the variable-volume cavity is reduced through the variable-volume mechanism, and the hydraulic pressure is increased, so that the liquid inlet control piece 19 and the liquid outlet control piece 20 can respectively move along the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 and the liquid outlet cavity channel 18 towards one end far away from the variable-volume cavity. When the liquid inlet control 19 is kept at one end of the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 far away from the variable-volume cavity, the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 is disconnected; the liquid outlet control 20 leaves the end of the liquid outlet channel 18 close to the variable-volume cavity, moves in the liquid outlet channel 18 or is kept at the end of the liquid outlet channel 18 far away from the variable-volume cavity, and the liquid outlet channel 18 is in a communicating state. At this time, the volume of the variable-volume cavity is continuously reduced and the hydraulic pressure is continuously increased through the variable-volume mechanism; the liquid in the variable volume chamber can flow into the liquid discharge pipe 21 through the liquid outlet channel 18. Conversely, the volume of the variable-volume cavity is increased and the hydraulic pressure is reduced through the variable-volume mechanism, so that the liquid inlet control piece 19 and the liquid outlet control piece 20 can respectively move along the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 and the liquid outlet cavity channel 18 towards one end close to the variable-volume cavity. When the tapping control 20 is kept at one end of the tapping channel close to the variable-volume cavity, the tapping channel 18 is disconnected; the liquid inlet control 19 leaves one end of the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 far away from the variable-volume cavity, moves in the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 or is kept at one end of the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 near the variable-volume cavity, and the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 is in a communication state; at the moment, the volume of the variable-volume cavity is continuously increased and the hydraulic pressure is continuously reduced through the variable-volume mechanism; the variable volume cavity can suck in liquid through the liquid inlet channel. The pump chamber 16, the liquid inlet channel 17, the liquid outlet channel 18, the liquid inlet control 19 and the liquid outlet control 20 are respectively arranged in two to form two groups of liquid conveying systems. The two liquid outlet channels 18 are communicated with a liquid discharge pipe 21 after converging; the volume change periods of the variable volume chambers of the two groups of liquid delivery systems are opposite. When the volume of the variable-volume cavity of one group of liquid delivery systems is reduced, and the liquid outlet control 20 moves along the liquid outlet cavity channel 18 towards one end far away from the variable-volume cavity; the volume of the variable volume cavity of the other group of liquid delivery system is increased, the liquid outlet control 20 of the other group of liquid delivery system moves along the liquid outlet cavity channel 18 towards one end close to the variable volume cavity, and liquid in the liquid outlet cavity channel 18 flows backwards; at this time, the liquid from the liquid outlet channel 18 of one group of liquid feeding system to the liquid outlet channel 21 compensates the liquid from the liquid outlet channel 18 of the other group of liquid feeding system, and the liquid in the liquid outlet channel 21 is in a stopped state. When the volume of the variable-volume cavity of one group of liquid delivery systems is reduced and the liquid outlet control 20 is kept at one end of the liquid outlet cavity channel 18 far away from the variable-volume cavity; the volume of the variable volume cavity of the other group of liquid delivery system is increased, and the liquid outlet control 20 of the other group of liquid delivery system can be kept at one end of the liquid outlet cavity channel 18 close to the variable volume cavity, so that the liquid outlet cavity channel 18 is kept in a disconnected state, and liquid in the liquid outlet cavity channel 18 stops flowing backwards; at this time, the liquid fed to the liquid discharge pipe 21 from the liquid outlet channel 18 of one of the liquid feeding systems is smoothly discharged through the liquid discharge pipe 21, and the liquid in the liquid discharge pipe 21 is in an outflow state. Therefore, the volume of the variable volume chambers of the two groups of liquid conveying systems can be changed periodically, so that the conveyed oil phase can be switched between the outflow state and the stopped outflow state.
Further, the pump chamber 16 has an opening; the variable capacitance mechanism comprises: a power source 23 for forming a closed diaphragm 22 for the opening and driving the diaphragm 22 to periodically extend towards two sides; wherein the space between the diaphragm 22 and the pump chamber 16 constitutes a variable volume chamber; the pump chamber 16 is fitted with a pump cover 24 at the opening, and the periphery of the diaphragm 22 is sandwiched between the pump chamber 16 and the pump cover 24. The pump cover 24 is provided with a recess on the side facing the membrane 22 to leave room for the membrane 22 to extend in the direction of the pump cover 24. As the diaphragm 22 expands toward the pump chamber 16, the volume of the variable-volume chamber decreases; as the diaphragm 22 expands toward the pump cap 24, the volume of the variable volume chamber increases.
Further, the power source 23 is a servo motor and is connected with the diaphragm 22 through a transmission mechanism; the transmission mechanism comprises: two limiting pieces 25 positioned on two sides of the diaphragm 22, a plug rod 26 fixedly connected with the two limiting pieces 25 and vertical to the diaphragm 22, an eccentric shaft 27 driven by a servo motor, and a connecting piece 28 connecting the plug rod 26 and the eccentric shaft 27; wherein the eccentric shaft 27 comprises a main shaft portion 29 and an eccentric portion 30; one end of the connecting piece 28 is rotationally connected with the plug rod 26, and the other end is rotationally connected with the eccentric part 30 of the eccentric shaft 27; the pump cover 24 limits the stopper rod 26 so that the stopper rod 26 is limited to move in the longitudinal direction. It will be appreciated that the periodic stretching of the diaphragm 22 towards both sides by the servo motor drive of the above-described transmission mechanism not only allows for precise regulation of the period, but also allows for a higher upper frequency limit for the diaphragm 22 to perform a periodic action.
Further, the liquid inlet control 19 and the liquid outlet control 20 are both spherical. The liquid inlet control 19 and the liquid outlet control 20 are partially or completely made of iron; the liquid inlet channel 17 is provided with a first electromagnet at one part of the outer wall for controlling the initial position of the liquid inlet control 19; the liquid outlet channel 18 is provided with a second electromagnet at one part of the outer wall for controlling the initial position of the liquid outlet control 20. It should be appreciated that the inlet and outlet channels 17, 18 may be made of non-ferrous materials. Before starting the servo motor, electrifying the first electromagnet and the second electromagnet to attract the liquid inlet control 19 and the liquid outlet control 20; the initial positions of the liquid inlet control 19 and the liquid outlet control 20 can be adjusted. Then the first electromagnet and the second electromagnet are closed, and the servo motor is started, so that the liquid inlet control 19 and the liquid outlet control 20 can be positioned at more accurate positions when the periodical motion is made. Generally, the initial positions of the liquid inlet control 19 and the liquid outlet control 20 of one group of liquid delivery systems are at one end close to the variable-volume cavity, and the initial positions of the liquid inlet control 19 and the liquid outlet control 20 of the other group of liquid delivery systems are at one end far away from the variable-volume cavity.
Further, the inner diameters of the ports at the two ends of the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 are smaller than the diameter of the liquid inlet control 19; the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 comprises a first sealing section 31 and a first communicating section 32 which are in butt joint; the inner diameter of the first sealing section 31 is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the liquid inlet control 19; the first flow-through section 32 has a first main channel 33 adapted to the diameter of the feed control 19, and a first secondary channel 34 for the passage of liquid. It should be appreciated that the inner diameter of the first main channel 33 is the same as the diameter of the feed control 19 or slightly larger than the diameter of the feed control 19. The liquid inlet ports of the liquid inlet channels 17 of the two groups of liquid feeding systems can be communicated with the same liquid inlet pipe. In addition, a first connection portion having a first through hole may be provided at the outer wall of the first closing section 31, a second connection portion having a second through hole may be provided at the outer wall of the first flow passage section 32, a third connection portion having a third through hole may be provided at the outer wall of the inlet pipe end portion, and a corresponding first screw hole may be provided at the outer wall of the pump chamber 16; thus, the liquid inlet pipe, the first closing section 31, the first communicating section 32, and the pump chamber 16 can be connected at one time by inserting the bolts.
Further, the inner diameters of the ports at the two ends of the liquid outlet channel 18 are smaller than the diameter of the liquid outlet control 20; the liquid outlet channel 18 comprises a second sealing section 35 and a second flowing section 36 which are in butt joint; the inner diameter of the second sealing section 35 is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the liquid outlet control 20; the second flow-through section 36 has a second main channel adapted in diameter to the tapping control 20, and a second secondary channel for the passage of liquid. It should be appreciated that the second main channel has an inner diameter that is the same as the diameter of the tapping control 20 or slightly larger than the diameter of the tapping control 20. The structural dimensions of the liquid outlet channel 18 and the liquid inlet channel 17 can be set to be identical; when in installation, the first circulation section 32 of the liquid inlet cavity channel 17 and the second sealing section 35 of the liquid outlet cavity channel 18 are only required to face the variable-volume cavity. In addition, the liquid discharge tube 21 comprises an arc section and a straight section communicated with the middle part of the arc section, and two ends of the arc section are respectively communicated with the two liquid outlet channels 18.

In addition, the inner water phase pump 9 and the outer water phase pump 7 can both adopt the same structural principle as the oil phase pump 4. Of course, other structures can be adopted for the oil phase pump 4, the inner water phase pump 9 and the outer water phase pump 7, so as to realize high-frequency intermittent conveying of the inner water phase, the oil phase and the outer water phase.
