The inventor notices that for some intractable diseases which are difficult to eradicate and easy to relapse, short-term administration cannot achieve good treatment effect. The slow release of the medicine can reduce the frequency of administration, improve the compliance and realize the purpose of long-term treatment, and can also maintain the stable blood concentration to a certain extent, avoid the peak valley phenomenon and reduce the toxic and side effect. However, the slow release method has insufficient initial administration, which results in too low blood concentration of the drug and thus fails to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
In order to relieve the technical problem that the refractory diseases which are difficult to eradicate and easy to relapse cannot achieve good treatment effect by short-term administration, the applicant finds that quick-release and slow-release medicaments can be used in a matched manner, so that the effect of the medicaments can be quickly and efficiently played by quick release, and the effect of the medicaments can be played for a long time by slow release.
In view of the above, the applicant has conducted intensive studies to design a microneedle patch 10, and referring to fig. 1 to 4, the microneedle patch 10 includes microneedles 100 and a substrate layer 200.
Microneedle 100 includes an outer layer 130 and an inner core 140, with inner core 140 and outer layer 130 collectively forming the needle body structure of microneedle 100. The microneedle 100 has a tip 110 and a root 120, the outer layer 130 extends from the tip 110 to the root 120, and the root 120 is disposed on the backing layer 200. Optionally, the needle structure is pyramidal or conical in shape. For example, the needle structure may be in the shape of a triangular pyramid, a rectangular pyramid or a conical cone.
In the present application, the outer layer 130 is a quick release layer 150, and a cavity is formed inside the quick release layer 150; an inner core 140 is disposed within the cavity, the inner core 140 including a sustained release layer 160. Under the same dissolution environment, the dissolution rate of the fast-release layer 150 is greater than that of the slow-release layer 160.
In such a microneedle patch 10, the microneedles 100 have a fast-release layer 150 capable of rapidly dissolving and releasing the drugs and a slow-release layer 160 capable of slowly dissolving and releasing the drugs, the fast-release layer 150 can be rapidly dissolved and released to achieve a rapid and efficient action of the drug effect, and the slow-release layer 160 can be slowly dissolved and released to achieve a long-term action of the drug effect, so that the use frequency of the microneedles 100 is reduced, and a good treatment effect is achieved for intractable diseases which are difficult to eradicate and are easy to recur.
Meanwhile, since the inner core 140 containing the sustained release layer 160 is coated by the fast release layer 150 of the outer layer 130, the outer layer 130 of the microneedle 100 is a whole, so that the mechanical strength of the whole microneedle 100 is higher, and thus, the microneedle body is not easy to break, and the penetration controllability is better. Meanwhile, the quick release layer 150 extends to the root portion 120 connected to the substrate layer 200, so that the microneedle 100 can be easily separated from the substrate layer 200 when the quick release layer 150 is dissolved.
In some embodiments, the substrate layer 200 composition includes any one or more of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof, lactose, sorbitol, dextran, trehalose, and sucrose.
Optionally, the composition of the substrate layer 200 is a mixture of sodium hyaluronate and polyvinyl alcohol. The substrate layer 200 is prepared by matching sodium hyaluronate and polyvinyl alcohol, and the toughness and the solubility of the substrate can be improved by the hydrogen bond effect between the sodium hyaluronate and the polyvinyl alcohol.
In the present application, the mass ratio of sodium hyaluronate to polyvinyl alcohol is 1 to 10. Alternatively, the mass ratio of sodium hyaluronate to polyvinyl alcohol is 3. In other embodiments, the mass ratio of sodium hyaluronate and polyvinyl alcohol is 1, 2.
In some embodiments, the fast release layer 150 may carry a drug-loaded substance 300; in other embodiments, the fast release layer 150 itself may also be used as a drug carrier. The slow release layer 160 may also carry a drug 300; in other embodiments, the sustained release layer 160 itself may also be used as a carrier for the drug.
Optionally, the drug 300 in the fast release layer 150 and the slow release layer 160 are the same drug. The same drug can be administered for a long period of time and the initial dose is large.
For example: the quick release layer 150 and the slow release layer 160 are independently selected from one or more of methacrylic acidylated gelatin, sodium hyaluronate, sodium alginate, chitosan, polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, silk fibroin, dextrin, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, cartilaginous thioflavine, dextran, sodium alginate, pullulan, maltose, poly gamma-glutamic acid or polyvinylpyrrolidone. Optionally, the fast-release layer 150 is sodium hyaluronate and the slow-release layer 160 is chitosan.
As a microneedle for preventing or treating alopecia, the drug-loaded 300 in the present application includes a hair growth promoting small molecule; alternatively, the hair growth promoting small molecule comprises one or more of minoxidil and its derivatives, capsaicin, cacumen Platycladi, finasteride, valproic acid, deoxycrtisone, SM04554, CB-03-01, triamcinolone acetonide, betamethasone, 17 alpha-estradiol, adenosine, all-trans retinoic acid, florobil, RU-58841, cork hydroxamic acid, 2-cyano-3- (1-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl) -2-propionic acid, (4-methoxycarbonyl) phenyl ester and ketoconazole. Based on this, if the microneedle is used for medical treatment of other diseases, the drug 300 can be directly replaced by corresponding drug components, and if the microneedle is used for diabetes, the drug 300 is a hypoglycemic drug such as insulin.
It should be noted that: the drug-loaded substance in the present application is not a general drug in the pharmaceutical field of disease treatment, and it means that all materials capable of playing a certain function are drugs, for example: capsaicin, cacumen biotae and the like belong to non-medicinal components, but the capsaicin, the cacumen biotae and the like can play a role in preventing or treating alopecia and still belong to the medicine-carried substances in the application.
The microneedle patch 10 of the present application can load the hair growth promoting component into the needle body of the microneedle 100, and after the microneedle 100 of the microneedle patch 10 pierces the scalp, the needle body stimulates the dermal papilla and the hair follicle stem cells, increases the blood supply of the hair follicle, and promotes the hair to recover and grow. After the microneedles 100 are penetrated, the needles penetrate through the stratum corneum into the epidermis and dermis layers, the quick release layer 150 dissolves to release the hair growth components first, and the slow release layer 160 remains in the scalp to release the hair growth components slowly and continuously.
In this application, the microneedle patch 10 may include a plurality of microneedles 100, the roots 120 of the microneedles 100 are all disposed on the substrate layer 200, and the microneedles 100 are distributed in an array manner, so that the administration of the microneedle patch 10 is more uniform, and the therapeutic effect is better.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, the inner core 140 of the microneedle 100 may be entirely a sustained release layer 160. After the microneedle 100 is penetrated into the skin under the action of external pressure, the outer layer 130 quick release layer 150 dissolves and quickly releases the drug, and then the inner layer slow release layer 160 slowly dissolves and releases the drug, so that the long-time effect of the drug effect is realized, the use frequency of the microneedle 100 is reduced, and a good treatment effect is achieved on intractable diseases which are difficult to eradicate and easy to relapse.
With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the inner core 140 includes at least one fast-releasing layer 150 and at least one slow-releasing layer 160. The inner core 140 contains both the sustained release layer 160 and the fast release layer 150, so that the administration can be dispersed more uniformly.
Alternatively, the slow release layers 160 and the fast release layers 150 are alternately disposed in a direction from the root 120 to the tip 110. Can further improve the uniformity of administration and ensure better administration effect.
In some embodiments, microneedle 100 can be coupled to substrate layer 200 via outer layer 130 and inner core 140, and when inner core 140 is coupled to substrate layer 200, can be coupled to substrate layer 200 via quick release layer 150 of inner core 140. Upon penetration of the microneedles 100 into the skin, the quick release layer 150 of the outer layer 130 and the quick release layer 150 of the inner core 140 may be dissolved together to effect separation of the microneedles 100 and the substrate layer 200.
In some embodiments, the microneedle 100 may further be connected to the substrate layer 200 through the outer layer 130, and the outer layer 130 is the quick release layer 150, so that when the quick release layer 150 of the outer layer 130 is dissolved, the microneedle 100 can be quickly separated from the substrate layer 200, and the separation effect is better.
The inventor also noticed that the current needle body mainly pierces the skin under the action of external pressure, and only needs to withdraw the substrate after dissolving or before dissolving, but because the skin itself has a recovery effect, the microneedle 100 often fails to completely separate from the substrate or fully dissolve in the skin, so that the microneedle 100 cannot completely and uniformly introduce the drug into the deep layer of the skin, and the function and effect of the microneedle 100 are not good.
Referring to fig. 2 and 4, in order to alleviate the technical problem that the microneedles 100 cannot be completely separated from the substrate or sufficiently dissolved in the skin, the applicant has found that the inner core 140 may not extend completely to the root portion 120, the outer layer 130 at the root portion 120 has an opening communicating with the cavity, and the inner core 140 and the root portion 120 have a bubble layer 400 at the opening. The microneedles 100 are generally fixed on the substrate layer 200 through the root parts 120, when the outer layer 130 at the root parts 120 is fixed on the substrate layer 200, the bubble layer 400 is arranged between the inner core 140 and the substrate layer 200, so that the contact area of the microneedles 100 and the substrate layer 200 is smaller than the orthographic projection area of the microneedles 100 on the substrate layer 200, and the microneedles 100 can be quickly separated from the substrate layer 200.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the quick release layer 150 can be quickly dissolved and released to realize quick and efficient drug effect after the microneedle 100 penetrates into the skin without the slow release layer 160 directly contacting the substrate layer 200, so as to ensure good separation from the substrate, while the slow release layer 160 does not directly contact the substrate layer 200 and can be separated from the substrate layer 200, so that both the slow release layer 160 and the quick release layer 150 can completely enter the skin of the human body and fully release the loaded drug effect.
