Description

Safflower yellow nanometer flexible liposome and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicine improvement and preparation, in particular to a novel safflower yellow nano flexible liposome preparation with high affinity and absorption activity to skin mucosa of an organic organism and a preparation process thereof.
Background
The traditional Chinese medicines for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases are numerous in number and different in administration form. Among them, the Chinese medicine injection preparation is widely used because of rapid onset of drug action, high bioavailability, definite curative effect, etc. However, with the expansion of the application range, adverse reactions/events of the traditional Chinese medicine injection preparation are gradually increased, and the traditional Chinese medicine injection preparation has attracted great attention in various social circles. The national drug adverse reaction monitoring annual report (2018) shows that: adverse reaction/event is counted according to medicine category, the traditional Chinese medicine ratio is 14.6%, wherein the highest dosage mode is 48.7% by intravenous injection, and the number and the ratio of the related reports of cardiovascular system are in an ascending trend. Adverse reactions/events frequently occur, which not only seriously threatens the health and safety of patients; but also greatly preventing the traditional Chinese medicine variety with definite curative effect from exerting the effect of preventing and treating diseases; in addition, as clinical use is gradually limited, manufacturers of Chinese medicinal injection preparations face disastrous consequences.
How to avoid adverse reaction/event, fully exerting the reliable disease prevention and treatment effect of the traditional Chinese medicine injection preparation, firstly, defining the cause of the adverse reaction/event, and analyzing according to literature, wherein non-drug factors and drug factors are main reasons, wherein the non-drug factors comprise: age, sex and special constitution of the patient; improper solvent selection or incorrect operation such as higher instillation speed during infusion; unreasonable combination or overdose is not relevant to the drug itself. The drug factor means that substances contained in the preparation can cause anaphylactic reaction or anaphylactic reaction-like components lack of being selectively trapped by biological membranes of organisms (natural defense barriers evolved by human beings) during infusion, and can be quickly and directly introduced into blood to cause adverse reactions. Enhancing the administration guidelines and normative practices for non-pharmaceutical factors may reduce some adverse events, but the risk cannot be completely eliminated due to the dosage form of the injectable formulation itself and the route of administration. In regard to the latter, a great deal of experiments are currently carried out by the scholars on the cause of the anaphylactic reaction and the sensitized substance, and the theory is that the allergic reaction and the sensitized substance can be related to the infusion speed, the dose, auxiliary materials in the preparation and even effective components. However, there are few studies on allergic reactions, and at present, all the allergic components cannot be confirmed. Therefore, it is obviously time-consuming and laborious and impractical to solve the problem by finding the substance that causes the adverse reaction-! In addition, enterprises adopt multi-step refining means to obtain active ingredients with higher purity for injection, but adverse events are not completely eliminated yet. Based on the above, a new way for improving the safety of the traditional Chinese medicine injection preparation and ensuring the effectiveness of the traditional Chinese medicine injection preparation is explored, the life safety of patients is concerned, the inherited development of traditional Chinese medicine is concerned, the death and the death of medicine enterprises are concerned, and the method is certainly a complex and important scientific problem to be solved urgently.
Among a plurality of Chinese medicinal injection preparations, the safflower injection is used as a first-line medicament for preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and plays an important role in preventing and treating serious diseases such as coronary heart disease, vasculitis, occlusive cerebrovascular diseases and the like. The safflower yellow is an effective part extracted from safflower, and the Hydroxy Safflower Yellow A (HSYA) is the flavonoid compound with the highest content, and the extract is brown yellow powder, and is easy to dissolve in water. A plurality of researches show that the hydroxysafflor yellow A has the functions of resisting oxidization, resisting inflammation, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, resisting thrombosis, resisting platelet aggregation and the like.
The safflower injection or the safflower yellow for injection is commonly used clinically for preventing and treating cardiovascular system diseases such as vasculitis, and with the gradual expansion of clinical application, adverse reaction events are gradually increased, the use of the safflower injection is severely limited by increasingly severe safety problems, and the original province (Shanxi province) of 8 production enterprises is reserved at present only for 4. In order to examine the cause of adverse reaction, the subject group studied the sensitization substances in safflower injection earlier, found that protein substances with smaller molecular weight (40 KD, 26 KD) can cause allergic reaction, however, the cause of the residual allergic substances can not be clarified by comparing the production process of enterprises (the finished product is filtered by using a filter membrane with the cutoff molecular weight of 10000), but it can be presumed that if the pore diameter of the ultrafiltration membrane is continuously reduced, other possibly effective components are lost, further the clinical curative effect is reduced or lost, and the hidden danger of adverse reaction is still unavoidable. At present, another safflower injection preparation which is widely applied to clinic, namely safflower yellow for injection (only 2 production enterprises in China: zhejiang Yongning and Shanxi Yuan Tang at present), is an effective part with higher purity (the content of hydroxy safflower yellow A is more than 60 percent) which is continuously refined by a multi-step column separation technology, and compared with safflower injection, adverse reactions are reduced, but still occur, so that the problem of safety of the safflower injection preparation is difficult to be fundamentally solved by a continuous purification way.
In summary, developing a new idea and a new technical path for solving the safety problem of traditional Chinese medicines is a key and difficult problem in the industry at present.

Example 1 sublingual mucosa
Based on modern medicine, the structure of the sublingual mucosa is divided into three layers: the mucosal epithelium layer, lamina propria and basal layer, wherein the mucosal epithelium layer is composed of ordered arrangement of flat and dense cells, with a thickness of about 150 μm, is a major obstacle to drug absorption. As a lipid barrier membrane, drugs with low lipid solubility or large molecular weight are not easy to be absorbed through sublingual mucosa, and most of the active ingredients contained in the traditional Chinese medicine injection preparation are water-soluble substances. Therefore, the efficient promotion of drug passage through the mucosal upper epidermis layer is the key to successful construction of sublingual delivery thereof.

According to the above results, the encapsulation efficiency of safflower yellow nano flexible liposome increases with the increase of the amount of egg yolk lecithin, but decreases to some extent, possibly due to the following reasons: the liposome is a thermodynamically unstable system, and when the egg yolk lecithin is increased to a certain degree, the collision probability among liposome small particles is increased, so that fusion and precipitation are easy to occur.
EXAMPLE 4 development of bile lipid ratio
Precisely weighing 24mg of cholesterol and 20mg of safflower yellow raw material medicines for injection, precisely weighing a certain amount of egg yolk lecithin according to the cholesterol ratio of 1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20 and 1:50 respectively, placing the three medicines into an eggplant type bottle, and adding 50mL of absolute ethyl alcohol for full dissolution to obtain an oil phase; 3mL of 1, 2-propylene glycol is added into 16mL of distilled water and mixed uniformly to obtain a water phase. Removing absolute ethanol from the oil phase by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure at 50deg.C to obtain dry film, pouring the water phase preheated at 50deg.C into film medium, adding 3-5 small glass beads for rotary hydration for 1h, ultrasound with probe for 5min, passing through 0.22 μm polypropylene filter membrane, adding the rest water phase, and determining liposome encapsulation rate by protamine aggregation-HPLC method. The encapsulation efficiency results of safflower yellow nano flexible liposome prepared by different bile lipid ratios are shown in the following table.

1:20 71.46%
1:10 68.10%
1:5 57.10%
1:2 57.67%
According to the above results, the increase of the cholesterol amount allows more cholesterol to be incorporated into the phospholipid molecules, and the cholesterol is arranged at intervals with the phospholipid molecules, so that the volume of the aqueous phase in the liposome is increased, and the encapsulation efficiency of the water-soluble component is increased; meanwhile, cholesterol can increase the surface viscosity of phospholipid to a certain extent, reduce the permeability of a phospholipid membrane to water-soluble drugs, reduce aggregation and fusion of liposome and increase the stability of the liposome.

Encapsulation efficiency results of safflower yellow nanoflexible liposomes prepared with different mass fractions of propylene glycol are shown in the following table.
According to the above results, the phospholipid bilayer of propylene glycol incorporated into the liposome increases its water solubility, so that part of water-soluble molecules enter the internal aqueous phase of the liposome to increase its encapsulation efficiency, when the mass fraction of propylene glycol increases to a certain extent, liposomes with smaller particle size can be formed due to excessive softness of the phospholipid membrane, and under the same phospholipid dosage, the small particle size lipid can reduce the volume of the internal aqueous phase to reduce its encapsulation efficiency; too much propylene glycol can also reduce the stability of liposome membrane materials, so that partial liposome is destroyed to cause leakage of liposome drugs, and the encapsulation efficiency is reduced.
