Description

Glycyrrhizinc acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots as well as preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medicines, and particularly relates to a glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
It is counted that millions of chronic wounds, caused by trauma, disease or surgery, need to be treated each year, and open, moist and exuding wounds provide a perfect environment for bacterial colonization by staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, streptococcus, etc., which is prone to wound infection. From ancient times, prevention of bacterial infection and anti-infection of wounds have been clinical challenges to be resolved in chronic wound therapy.
In the current clinical treatment, wound dressings such as gauze, adhesive bandages and the like can be used for absorbing tissue exudates and isolating the outside so as to achieve the aim of preventing bacterial infection of wounds. In addition, oral or intravenous antibiotics are the primary strategy for treating wounds from bacterial infections. However, with the large-scale and irrational use of antibiotics, drug-resistant strains are layered endlessly, resulting in a patient with prolonged wound and high mortality, with Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) being the most harmful. Therefore, it is particularly important to find a novel non-antibiotic wound dressing with the antibacterial activity of methicillin staphylococcus aureus so as to promote the healing effect of chronic wounds.
In recent years, nanoparticles have become a replacement tool for controlling bacterial infection and overcoming antibiotic resistance due to their unique advantages of excellent physicochemical properties, such as high surface reactivity, ultra-small size, high water solubility, and good biocompatibility. However, they still have certain drawbacks: 1) Most of the nano particles belong to metal materials, and have high cost and high toxicity; 2) The preparation process is complex; 3) Toxicity problems, nanoparticles exert an antibacterial effect mainly by photodynamic to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which can also cause irreversible damage to normal tissues; 4) The pure nanoparticle antibacterial agent is mostly in a liquid state, cannot serve as a wound dressing, and meets the advantages of absorbing tissue exudates and isolating the outside.

Detailed Description
The invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments in order to facilitate an understanding of the invention, but the scope of the invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used hereinafter have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the scope of the present invention.
Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the various raw materials, reagents, instruments, equipment and the like used in the present invention are commercially available or may be prepared by existing methods.
According to the invention, two natural carbon sources of tryptophan and sorbitol are used as raw materials to synthesize the carbon quantum dots, and then the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots is synthesized, so that the hydrogel is found to have efficient antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Previous studies have found that hydrogel wound dressings based on tryptophan carbon quantum dots can significantly accelerate wound healing in MRSA infected model mice.
Detection of biocompatibility and toxicity of tryptophan carbon quantum dots
The specific process for detecting the biocompatibility and toxicity of the tryptophan carbon quantum dots comprises the following steps:
(1) Tryptophan carbon quantum dot biocompatibility was assessed with a hemolysis assay: the hemolysis test was performed with patient consent (Xiangya Hospital at the university of south China). The erythrocytes were centrifuged at 1000rpm for 5min and washed 2 times to prepare a 20% erythrocyte suspension; thereafter, erythrocytes with or without tryptophan carbon quantum dot solutions (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200. Mu.g/mL) were prepared, double distilled water (ddH 2 O) treatment of erythrocytes as positive control, physiological saline treatment of erythrocytes as negative control, and co-incubation at 37 ℃ for 3h. Finally, the red blood cell suspension was centrifuged at 1000rpm for 5min, and the absorbance of the supernatant at 540nm (OD 540 nm) was measured, and the percent hemolysis was calculated as follows: hemolysis (%) = OD540 tryptophan carbon quantum dot/OD 540ddH 2 O×100%。
(2) Toxicity detection is carried out on tryptophan carbon quantum dots by using a CCK8 method: human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human skin fibroblasts were seeded at a density of 8×103/well in 96-well plates overnight, treated with tryptophan carbon quantum dots (1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 200 ug/ml) at different volume concentrations, phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) as control group, and cell-free medium as blank. 37 ℃ and 5% CO 2 Incubation was carried out for 24h with 10 μl CCK8 solution added to each well and incubated for 2h. Finally, cell viability was determined by measuring absorbance at 450nm (OD 450 nm) as follows: survival of lysocells (%) =od 450 colorAmino acid carbon quantum dot/OD 450PBS×100%.
As shown in FIG. 1, erythrocytes in ddH 2 Cracking in O; while erythrocytes treated with tryptophan carbon quantum dots at different concentrations did not show obvious hemolysis. Calculated, the hemolysis rate of the tryptophan carbon quantum dot at 200ug/mL is about 1.67 percent<5 percent), the tryptophan carbon quantum dots have good blood compatibility.
As shown in FIG. 2, the survival rate of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human skin fibroblasts still exceeds 80% when tryptophan carbon quantum dot concentration is as high as 200ug/mL (far above minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC). This suggests that tryptophan carbon quantum dots have only very low toxicity to human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human skin fibroblasts. Therefore, tryptophan carbon quantum dots are a novel nano material with great potential in the field of medical treatment.
Examples:
the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots comprises the following components in percentage by mass: about 3.2wt% glycyrrhizic acid, about 0.01wt% tryptophan carbon quantum dots and the balance double distilled water.
The preparation method of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the tryptophan carbon quantum dot loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel in the embodiment comprises the following steps:
(1) Dissolving 100mg tryptophan (0.49 mmol) and 500mg sorbitol (2.74 mmol) in 50mL double distilled water, fully and uniformly mixing, then subpackaging the mixture into 5mL ampoules, sealing the ampoules, transferring the ampoules into a high-pressure reaction kettle, carrying out hydrothermal reaction for 10 hours at 160 ℃, cooling to room temperature to obtain tryptophan carbon quantum dot solution, detecting the concentration to be 1mg/mL, and storing the ampoule bottles at 4 ℃;
(2) Dissolving 0.03g of glycyrrhizic acid in 900ul double distilled water, standing at 60 ℃ for 10min to completely dissolve the glycyrrhizic acid, adding 100ul tryptophan carbon quantum dot solution prepared in the step (1), stirring and mixing uniformly, centrifuging at 3000rpm for 5min to remove bubbles, standing at room temperature for 10min to gel, and obtaining the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots.
For comparison, 0.03g of glycyrrhizic acid was dissolved in 1000ul of double distilled water, and the mixture was left at 60℃for 10min to completely dissolve, followed by cooling to obtain glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel.
The silicon wafer is firstly ultrasonically cleaned for 15min by using mixed solution (concentrated sulfuric acid (V): hydrogen peroxide (V) =7:3), then ultrasonically cleaned for 15min by using ethanol, and finally is ultrasonically cleaned by using ddH 2 Ultrasonic cleaning for 15min (2 times), and drying the silicon wafer by nitrogen; 10ul of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the tryptophan carbon quantum dot-loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel prepared in the embodiment are taken out and respectively put on a dried silicon wafer, and then are put into a freeze dryer for drying for 12h, and then are subjected to electron microscope scanning, and the result is shown in figure 3.
As can be seen from fig. 3, both the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the tryptophan carbon quantum dot loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel show an irregular loose porous network structure, and the pore diameter ranges from 20 μm to 200 μm, which indicates that the carbon quantum dots can be loaded in the hydrogel network, and provides conditions for releasing the carbon quantum dots. Compared with glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel, the porous structure of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots is compact, which indicates that the tryptophan carbon quantum dots have influence on the glycyrrhizic acid self-assembly process after being added.
The dynamic viscoelasticity test of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the tryptophan carbon quantum dot loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel prepared in the embodiment comprises the following specific steps:
(1) Dynamic frequency sweep: placing glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and tryptophan carbon quantum dot loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel on a rheometer sample stage, selecting a dynamic frequency scanning mode, setting the temperature to 25 ℃, the strain to 0.5%, and the angular frequency to 0.1-100rad/s, wherein the result is shown in figure 4;
(2) Strain scanning: placing the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots on a rheometer sample table, selecting a dynamic strain scanning mode, setting the temperature to 25 ℃, and setting the strain to 1-1000% and the angular frequency to 1rad/s, wherein the result is shown in figure 5;
(3) Cyclic step-strain sweep: placing the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots on a rheometer sample table, selecting a cyclic step strain scanning mode, setting the temperature to 25 ℃, setting the angular frequency to 1rad/s, setting the low strain to 1%, setting the angular frequency to 120s, setting the high strain to 100% and setting the angular frequency to 120s, and setting the results to be shown in a figure 6;
(4) And (5) viscosity scanning: placing the single glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots on a rheometer sample stage, selecting a steady-state viscosity scanning mode, setting the temperature to 25 ℃ and the shear rate to 0.1-100s -1 、100-0.1s -1 The strain was 0.5% and the angular frequency was 1rad/s, and the results are shown in FIG. 7.
As shown in fig. 4, the storage modulus (G') was always higher than the loss modulus (G ") in the measurement range, and the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the tryptophan carbon quantum dot-loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel mainly exhibited elastic properties, indicating that stable elastic hydrogels were formed. As the angular frequency increases, the storage modulus and the loss modulus show an ascending trend, which shows that the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots has frequency dependence like that of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel, and accords with the physical dynamic crosslinking of hydrophobic association and chain entanglement of the main crosslinking effect of the hydrogel network. The intersection of the storage modulus (G ') and loss modulus (G') indicates shear failure of the internal network of the hydrogel. Fig. 5 shows that the network structure of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the tryptophan-loaded carbon quantum dots is broken by shear at strains of 50% and 200%. Step strain tests (FIG. 6) show that at low strain of 1%, G 'is higher than G'; at high strains of 1000%, G 'is lower than G'. After three transitions from high strain to low strain, the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the tryptophan carbon quantum dot loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel decrease with increasing frequency, but can still well recover to the hydrogel state, which indicates that the tryptophan carbon quantum dot loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel has good self-healing property. Fig. 7 shows the relationship between viscosity and shear rate, and the decrease in the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and the tryptophan carbon quantum dot-loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel with increasing shear rate, indicating that the microstructure of the hydrogel is damaged by shear thinning. As the shear rate decreases, the damaged tissue gradually returns to its original state, indicating that the hydrogel has good injectability. The G 'and G' of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots are always higher than that of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel, so that the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots has better mechanical strength performance than that of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel, and the tryptophan carbon quantum dots further promote the formation of the network structure of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel.
Further observing the self-healing property of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots, which is prepared by the embodiment, the specific test steps are as follows:
(1) Respectively placing the mixed solution of the loaded tryptophan carbon quantum dots added with the coomassie brilliant blue and the mixed solution of the loaded tryptophan carbon quantum dots without the coomassie brilliant blue in two cylindrical molds, and cooling into white and blue glycyrrhizic acid aqueous gels loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots;
(2) The two glycyrrhizic acid aqueous gels loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots are sheared into two halves, then the white glycyrrhizic acid aqueous gel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots and the blue glycyrrhizic acid aqueous gel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots are spliced together, healing conditions between the two halves of glycyrrhizic acid aqueous gels loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots are observed every 2 hours, and the result is shown in fig. 8, so that the glycyrrhizic acid aqueous gel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots has good self-healing property.
The injectability of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots prepared in the embodiment is observed, and the specific test steps are as follows:
the heated mixed solution of the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots is sucked by a 1mL syringe, and the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots is injected through a pinhole after being cooled, as shown in fig. 9, so that the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots has good injectability.
The antibacterial effect of tryptophan carbon quantum dots and the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots prepared in the embodiment is detected, and the specific detection steps are as follows:
(1) Inhibition of tryptophan carbon Quantum dots against Staphylococcus aureus-sensitive strains (ATCC 25923, ATCC 29213), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains (ATCC 43300, 222125587 and 223116824), pseudomonas aeruginosa strains (ATCC 27853), escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 700603) by LB broth methodUsing: taking 1×10 6 CFU ml -1 The bacterial viability was determined by measuring the absorbance at 600nm (OD 600 nm) after 12h of treatment with 100ul of Phosphate Buffer (PBS) as untreated group, spread on 96 well plates and treated with tryptophan carbon quantum dots of different volume concentrations;
(2) Inhibition efficiency of the untreated group, tryptophan quantum dot group, glycyrrhizic acid group and tryptophan carbon quantum dot loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel group against methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus strains (ATCC 43300 and 222125587) was compared with LB broth method: taking 1×10 6 CFU ml -1 Is spread on a 96-well plate, and is treated by a tryptophan quantum dot group (40 ug/ml), a glycyrrhizic acid group (1.6 mg/ml) and an glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel group loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots (40 ug/ml+1.6mg/ml), phosphate Buffer (PBS) is used as a blank control, the final volume of each well is 100ul, and after 12 hours of treatment, the bacterial survival rate is determined by measuring the absorbance at 600nm (OD 600 nm);
(3) The inhibition efficiency of untreated groups, tryptophan quantum dot groups, glycyrrhizic acid groups and glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel groups loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots on methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus strains is compared by an LB agar plate method: 20ul of bacterial suspension (1X 10) 6 CFU ml -1 ) Dissolving in LB agar containing tryptophan quantum dot group (40 ug/ml), glycyrrhizic acid group (1.6 mg/ml) and glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel group loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots (40 ug/ml+1.6mg/ml), mixing thoroughly, pouring into a flat plate, and controlling the temperature of LB agar (40-50 ℃) in the process, wherein bacteria cannot be easily scalded too high, and LB cannot be easily coagulated too low; after 12h incubation at 37℃LB agar plates were photographed.
As shown in FIG. 10, tryptophan carbon quantum dots can remarkably inhibit the activity of staphylococcus aureus sensitive strains and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus strains, and show weak sensitivity to gram-negative bacteria such as pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae.
As shown in fig. 11, both the LB broth method and the LB agar plate method show that the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots has a more remarkable effect than the tryptophan carbon quantum dots or glycyrrhizic acid alone in inhibiting the activity of the methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus strain.
These results demonstrate that tryptophan carbon quantum dots have excellent antibacterial activity against staphylococcus aureus-sensitive strains and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus strains, and that the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel formed by combining with glycyrrhizic acid and loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots has a synergistic effect in resisting the activity of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus strains.
The in vitro release of tryptophan carbon quantum dots in the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots is detected by an enzyme-labeled instrument, and the specific steps are as follows:
(1) Adding 2mL of glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots and prepared by the preparation method of the embodiment into a 5mL brown glass sample bottle, then adding PBS (pH= 7.4,0.01M) with the same volume as a slow release solution, and placing the whole slow release system into a constant temperature shaking table (100 rpm) at 37 ℃;
(2) Taking 400 mu L of slow-release liquid out at preset time points (2, 4,8, 10, 20, 24, 36 and 48 h), adding 400 mu L of fresh PBS for continuous slow release, centrifuging the taken slow-release liquid at 3000rpm and 4 ℃ for 15min, collecting supernatant, and preserving at 4 ℃;
(3) The cumulative release of tryptophan carbon quantum dots in the supernatant was measured by measuring absorbance at 470nm (OD 470 nm) (based on the linear relationship between OD470nm and tryptophan carbon quantum dot concentration), and the results are shown in fig. 12.
As can be seen from fig. 12, the tryptophan carbon quantum dots in the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with the tryptophan carbon quantum dots are gradually released and completely released within 2 days, which indicates that the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel is an ideal loading system for the tryptophan carbon quantum dots, and the tryptophan carbon quantum dots are promoted to exert the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects permanently.

As can be seen from fig. 13, the mice developed large-area abscesses 48h after bacterial infection; after 5 days of treatment, significant scab appeared after treatment with ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, tryptophan carbon quantum dot loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel and alone glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel, while the untreated group remained full of pus and exudates. After 10 days of treatment, the wound is basically healed after being treated by glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots, the skin around the wound is in good state, and no ulceration or hypertrophic scars are observed; while ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CH-stream) and alone glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel still had obvious hypertrophic scars, and the untreated group can observe the skin around the mouth to appear ulcerations. After 15 days of treatment, the healing areas of the untreated group, the ciprofloxacin hydrochloride group, the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel group and the tryptophan carbon quantum dot loaded glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel group are calculated to be 68+/-1.86%, 87.7+/-4.5% and 76.8+/-7.2% and 96.2+/-2.7% respectively. From this, it can be seen that the glycyrrhizic acid hydrogel loaded with tryptophan carbon quantum dots as a wound dressing is beneficial to promoting wound healing of MASR infection.
