Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of medical hydrogel materials, in particular to a hydrogel composite material, a preparation method thereof and an eye medicine.
Background
Dry eye is a complex ocular surface multiple disease causing multiple clinical symptoms such as dry feel, foreign body feel, burning feel and the like, which affect the work and life quality of patients. Because of the relatively complex mechanism and long treatment period of dry eye, it is becoming an important direction of ophthalmic drug research. The clinical application at the present stage mainly comprises anti-inflammatory drugs and auxiliary therapeutic drugs for promoting the wetting of the ocular surface.
Current drugs for the relief and treatment of dry eye mainly include: artificial tears (PEG and polysaccharides such as hyaluronic acid and carboxymethyl cellulose, etc.) and inhibitors/antagonists of biological function (immune cell or lymphocyte inhibitors/antagonists). However, the artificial tear has short residence time in the ocular surface and needs to be frequently used; while inhibition/antagonism of biological function can cause systemic toxic side effects on the human body after long-term use.

In some embodiments, the temperature at which the gel powder is dissolved in water is from 4 ℃ to 37 ℃;
and/or, after mixing the block copolymer with a precipitant, further comprising the step of dialyzing the mixed product with a dialysis bag to filter the precipitate.
In a third aspect, the present application further provides an ophthalmic drug comprising the hydrogel composite of the first aspect.

The hydrogel is used as a carrier of the antioxidant EGCG, namely intermolecular hydrogen bonding action and pi-pi acting force can be formed between a phenol structure in the L-tyrosine-NCA and a phenol structure in the EGCG, so that a stable and firm loading action can be formed between the hydrogel and the EGCG, and the effect that the EGCG can stably apply medicines is realized. And the introduction of EGCG can reduce the gel forming concentration of the hydrogel, enhance the gel forming property of the hydrogel and improve the residence time of the hydrogel composite material on the ocular surface.

TABLE 1
The hydrogel composites prepared in examples 1 to 9 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were subjected to the relevant performance test.
1) Test examples 1 to 3, 6 and 7 amino acids and mPEG-NH 2 The H-NMR spectrum of the block copolymer formed was shown in FIG. 1. As can be seen from FIG. 1, mPEG-NH is utilized 2 The ring-opening polymerization reaction of the amino group and the lactone structure of the L-tyrosine-NCA can be carried out to obtain a block copolymerA polymer. And the amino acids having different segments are used, showing different assembling ability, according to the segment length of PEG. In addition, with the addition of EGCG, the acting force between EGCG and the hydrogel carrier enhances the stability of a polymerization system.

2) The hydrogel composites prepared in examples 3 to 5 and comparative example 1 were subjected to rheological test, and the test results are shown in fig. 2. As can be seen from fig. 2, as EGCG increases, the storage modulus (G') of the drug-loaded gel increases, and intermolecular forces increase, thereby increasing the strength of the hydrogel.
3) The hydrogel composite materials prepared in examples 3-5 and comparative example 1 and the pure EGCG solution (EGCG concentration is 1.25 mg/mL) are tested, and the test results show that the hydrogel loaded with EGCG has a significantly better treatment effect on xerophthalmia than the pure EGCG aqueous solution and the hydrogel material prepared in comparative example 1. By regulating the final concentration of the EGCG loaded in the hydrogel, the expected therapeutic effect cannot be achieved if the final concentration of the EGCG loaded in the hydrogel is too low, and precipitation can be caused if the concentration is too high. The final EGCG load concentration is preferably 1.25mg/mL. At the concentration, the hydrogel composite material has higher safety and slow release property, slower oxidation rate, better EGCG load stability, lower gel forming concentration required by the hydrogel, enhanced gel forming performance and longer ocular surface residence time.
4) At the cellular level, cytotoxicity was evaluated on pure EGCG solution (EGCG concentration of 1.25 mg/mL) and the hydrogel composite material prepared in example 3, and the test results are shown in FIG. 3. EGCG is used as a polyphenol antioxidant, and can complete the biological effects of oxidation resistance and inflammation resistance by means of polyphenol; meanwhile, the polyphenol structure is easily oxidized to become quinone with biotoxicity, so that the patent medicine of EGCG is limited. As can be seen from fig. 3, the hydrogel composite material loaded with EGCG provided by the present application not only can complete hydration of eyes by means of PEG and increase wettability of eye surfaces, but also can effectively combine with EGCG to realize stable loading and loading of EGCG. The hydrogel composite material provided by the application has excellent biocompatibility.
5) Cytotoxicity evaluation was carried out on the hydrogel (PY 15) obtained in example 3, and the test results are shown in FIG. 4. As can be seen from FIG. 4, due to mPEG-NH 2 Both the included PEG segments and amino acids are biological materials with good biocompatibility, and still exhibit low cytotoxicity after polymerization to form hydrogel systems.
6) Animal experiments were performed to evaluate the biocompatibility of the hydrogel composite material (example 3), pure EGCG and pure hydrogel PY15 provided in the present application in the use process of the ocular surface, and the specific steps are as follows:
taking 8-week-old C57BL female mice as a study object, respectively dripping sodium fluorescein solution, PY15, EGCG water solution and EGCG@PY15 into eyes of the female mice, and observing retention conditions of different substances in eyes under a slit lamp at 0min, 5min, 10min, 20min and 30min after dripping. The test results are shown in fig. 5. As can be seen from fig. 5, pure hydrogel PY15 and egcg@py15 loaded with EGCG have no significant toxicity to the ocular surface and do not cause damage to the cornea. Meanwhile, by means of spot dyeing of sodium fluorescein, the EGCG@PY15 can be judged to be capable of increasing the residence time of EGCG on the ocular surface (20 min is increased), and more convenient conditions are provided for increasing the efficacy of the medicine.
7) Drug efficacy evaluation: the repair effect of the hydrogel composite material prepared in example 3 on cornea damage and the treatment effect on ocular surface damage in dry eye are verified by using benzalkonium chloride (BAC) induced dry eye 8-week-old C57BL female mice as an experimental model. The specific method comprises the following steps:
scopolamine hydrobromide, 2.5mg/mL, was subcutaneously injected in female rats three times a day for 7 days to form a dry eye model. Physiological saline, xiidra, aqueous EGCG and egcg@py15 were administered three times daily for 4 days, slit lamp shots were taken on day 0, day 2 and day 4 of treatment, respectively, and the cornea was observed and scored for sodium fluorescein spot staining, and the test results are shown in fig. 6 and 7. As can be seen from fig. 6, the hydrogel composite material provided by the present application has a more efficient and safer repairing effect than the clinically known drug (ritodlast (Xiidra)). As can be seen from fig. 7, the hydrogel composite material prepared in example 3 has an optimal therapeutic effect by comparing the hydrogel composite material with the control group, the physiological saline group and the free EGCG.
9) Rheological tests are carried out on the materials prepared in the example 1 and the comparative examples 2-3, and the test results show that other amino acids cannot form stable loading effect with EGCG, and the retention time of the ocular surface is difficult to improve.
The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
