Description

Tofacitinib citrate calcium carbonate lipid nano spray and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to a calcium carbonate lipid nano spray containing tofacitinib citrate, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Alopecia areata is a sudden, non-scarring inflammatory alopecia disease that is clinically common to dermatology and is generally characterized by the rapid and complete shedding of hair in one or more well-defined circular or oval areas. The prevalence of alopecia areata is about 1-2%, and the incidence is more common in young and old, which has a great influence on the psychological, work and social activities of patients. Current treatments for alopecia areata include drug therapy, photochemotherapy and biological immunotherapy, but these treatments have some drawbacks in the treatment of alopecia areata. For example, oral administration or topical use of the corticosteroid clobetasol propionate may cause folliculitis and rare skin atrophy, and may be prone to recurrence after drug withdrawal; photochemotherapy, such as the use of psoralen in combination with ultraviolet a (PUVA) therapy, has in some studies been shown to significantly promote hair regrowth in the bald areas but at a high rate of recurrence and long-term use can result in unacceptably high uv accumulation; immunotherapy such as topical application of aztrelin can lead to irritant dermatitis, requires prolonged maintenance of therapy, has limited efficacy, etc.
The etiology of alopecia areata is currently not completely understood, and may involve a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental predisposition, where evidence supporting the pathogenesis of autoimmune mechanisms predominates, and the destruction of the immune privilege function of hair follicles is considered to be one of the important pathogenesis. In alopecia areata patients, the inflammatory factor IFN- γ plays an important role in this disease process, and this pathway is mediated by JAK kinase, so JAK inhibitor therapy represents a new treatment option for alopecia areata, and only barytanib (JAK inhibitor) is currently approved for alopecia areata indications. Tofacitinib (TFB) belongs to one of the JAK inhibitors and was approved by the united states Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2012 for use in the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis where methotrexate is intolerant or poorly responsive.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a drug and a preparation thereof which can effectively treat alopecia areata.

In the human scalp hair follicle, the expression of a large number of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I and II can only be detected under the interference of the immune breakdown of the hair follicle; the experiment takes 24 hair follicles of which the scalp grows completely in normal male healthy people IV, and the hair follicles are divided into 8 groups of 3 hair follicles. I.e. repair group four: blank group, interferon-gamma treated group, tofacitinib citrate solution group and tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano-spray group; protection group four: blank group, interferon-gamma treated group, tofacitinib citrate solution group and tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano-spray group; adding a blank culture medium into a repairing group for incubation for 6 days, treating hair follicles with interferon-gamma for 4 days to induce immune collapse, and then respectively adding a blank culture medium, tofacitinib citrate solution and tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano-spray sample B prepared in the example for incubation for 2 days; the hollow white group in the protective group and the repair group are treated in the same way, the rest three groups are treated with blank culture medium, tofacitinib citrate solution group and tofacitinib citrate lipid nanometer spray for 2 days respectively, and then interferon-gamma is added into each group to interfere for 4 days. After the treatment of the protective group and the repair group is finished, hair follicles are taken out for embedding and frozen sections, and immunohistochemical fluorescent staining is carried out for detecting the expression of MHC-I molecules. As shown in fig. 6, the amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano-spray or tofacitinib citrate solution group does not repair damaged hair follicles, but can protect hair follicles from IFN- γ, which is important for preventing alopecia areata.
Example 9: influence of tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano spray on hair regeneration of cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia areata model mice
The effect of the amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nanospray sample 3B containing tofacitinib citrate obtained in step 4 of example 3 above on hair regeneration of cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia areata model mice was examined as a sample.
C57BL/6 mice 20 (7 weeks old, female, quality 18+ -2 g, martial arts disease and control center supply), after the mice were anesthetized with phenobarbital sodium, the depilation area was 2cm×3cm using shaving Mao Qiti wool, then the depilation area was coated with depilation cream, and after waiting for 2min, washed with PBS. After shaving, when the skin at the back of the mice starts to be blackened, the normal control group (4 mice) does not carry out any treatment, the other groups of mice are subjected to single-dose intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide of 150mg/kg, and after 4-5 days, the head and back hair of the mice start to fall off, and serious hair fall off is successfully induced, so that the growth-period baldness animal model is prepared. The model mice were randomly divided into 4 groups of 4, i.e., model group, tofacitinib citrate solution group (solution group), commercially available tofacitinib citrate oral group and tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nanospray group (lipid nanocarrier group). In the model group, physiological saline is locally administrated to the skin of a back dehairing area every day in a tofacitinib citrate solution group and a tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nanometer spray agent group respectively, 0.1mL of each tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nanometer spray sample B is 1% (w/v), 1mL of tofacitinib suspension (3% (w/v) tofacitinib tablet is prepared into a suspension of 3% (w/v) by using 0.9% NaCl as a solvent) is administrated continuously for 21 days, and the change of the hair on the back of a mouse is observed by photographing. Finally, image J was used for analysis, and black hair regrowth at day 21 of dosing was quantified and scored. The scoring standard is grade 0: no new black hair regeneration; stage 1: the new-born black hair accounts for 0-20% of the total area of alopecia; 2 stages: regenerating 20-40% of black hair; 3 stages: regenerating black hair by 40-60%;4 stages: regeneration of black hair of 60-80 percent: 5 stages: 80-100% of black hair is regenerated.
As a result, as shown in fig. 7a, the rate of blackening hair growth was: the normal group > tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano spray group > tofacitinib citrate solution group > commercial oral group > model group, which shows that the tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano spray group has better hair regeneration effect in the mouse alopecia areata area compared with the tofacitinib citrate solution group and the commercial oral group after modeling, and proves the superiority of preparing the amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano carrier; the black hair regeneration scoring result of the mice after 21 days of administration is shown in fig. 7b, the normal group is more than or equal to tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano spray group > commercial oral group > tofacitinib citrate solution group > model group, after treatment is finished, the black hair regeneration scoring of the mice in tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano spray group is close to that of the normal group, and the effect of the amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano carrier group is better than that of the commercial oral group, which indicates that the tofacitinib citrate amorphous calcium carbonate lipid nano spray has better hair regeneration induction effect on cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia areata model mice.
