Description
本創作關於一種經皮傳輸裝置及其製作方法,特別是關於微針裝置及其製作方法。This creation relates to a percutaneous delivery device and a method for making the same, especially a microneedle device and a method for making the same.
皮膚上的色斑若是由黑色素(melanin)沈積或分布不均集中所造成者,一般統稱為黑斑或皮膚黑斑。黑色素是由位於基底層之黑色素細胞(melanocyte)產生,並被包裹在黑素體(melanosome)中輸送至周圍的角質細胞,當因為陽光中的紫外線刺激導致黑色素大量產生,或是因為色素代謝障礙無法移除黑色素時就會在皮膚上產生黑斑。若以深度而言,因為黑色素細胞位於表皮層之基底層,臉部的表皮厚度約為100微米,由傳統的經皮傳輸(transepidermal delivery)途徑,即將含有淡化色素有效成分之製劑直接塗抹於皮膚上,淡化色素的有效成分穿透角質層的比例有限,僅有極低比例能達到基底層黑色素細胞位置,以至於淡化色素或黑斑的效果有限。因此,如何提升有效成分的傳遞及使用效率是過去皮膚醫學及醫學美容領域持續努力的目標。If the pigmentation on the skin is caused by the deposition or uneven distribution of melanin (melanin), it is generally referred to as black spots or skin black spots. Melanin is produced by melanocytes located in the basal layer and transported to surrounding keratinocytes by being wrapped in melanosomes. Dark spots develop on the skin when melanin cannot be removed. In terms of depth, because melanocytes are located in the basal layer of the epidermis, the thickness of the epidermis on the face is about 100 microns. By the traditional transepidermal delivery route, the preparation containing the active ingredients of lightening pigment is directly applied to the skin On the other hand, the proportion of active ingredients for lightening pigments that penetrate the stratum corneum is limited, and only a very low proportion can reach the basal layer of melanocytes, so that the effect of lightening pigments or dark spots is limited. Therefore, how to improve the delivery and use efficiency of active ingredients has been the goal of continuous efforts in the field of dermatology and medical beauty in the past.
微針裝置,又稱為微針陣列(microneedle array),或稱微針結構(microneedle structure),具有複數根高度介於50至900微米的微針,係一種微小化的侵入式裝置,可越過角質層屏障(stratum corneum barrier)而形成不同於傳統的經皮傳輸途徑。角質層是有效成分穿透皮膚時最大的障礙,分子量大於500道爾頓(Da)的分子和親水性分子不易穿透角質層。然而,由於微針可以穿透角質層而將有效成分傳遞至表皮層,因此有效成分的選用可不受到角質層的限制,且可提高有效成分的傳遞及使用效率。Microneedle device, also known as microneedle array (microneedle array), or microneedle structure (microneedle structure), has a plurality of microneedles with a height of 50 to 900 microns. The formation of the stratum corneum barrier is different from the traditional transdermal transmission pathway. The stratum corneum is the biggest obstacle for effective ingredients to penetrate the skin. Molecules with a molecular weight greater than 500 Daltons (Da) and hydrophilic molecules are not easy to penetrate the stratum corneum. However, since the microneedles can penetrate the stratum corneum and deliver the active ingredients to the epidermis, the selection of the active ingredients is not limited by the stratum corneum, and the delivery and use efficiency of the active ingredients can be improved.
醫藥領域目前已發展出一種可溶解微針貼片,用於經皮給藥或疫苗,其在基材上布有微針陣列,這些微針的長度設計為可穿透角質層進入表皮層,但不會觸碰到布滿神經及血管的真皮層。因此,可將有效成分輸送至表皮層而不會產生疼痛感。In the field of medicine, a dissolvable microneedle patch has been developed for transdermal administration or vaccines. The microneedle array is arranged on the substrate. The length of these microneedles is designed to penetrate the stratum corneum and enter the epidermis. But it does not touch the dermis, which is full of nerves and blood vessels. Therefore, the active ingredient can be delivered to the epidermis without causing pain.
在醫學美容或皮膚修護保養領域,亦已發展出可溶解式微針,其係設計為穿透角質層後,能夠藉由體內的組織液將微針之針體快速地在表皮層中溶解而釋放出有效成分。目前已知有一種使用玻尿酸(hyaluronic acid)作為單一材料的可溶解式微針,其係利用兩片板材,將板材之間的玻尿酸利用附著力拉開,並在拉開的過程中進行乾燥形成微針。然而,此種微針的針體不具有足夠的機械強度且針尖的形狀不尖,通常無法刺穿角質層。為使微針具有足夠的機械強度,另有一種以聚乙烯醇(Polyvinyl alcohol,PVA)作為主材料所製成的可溶解式微針。聚乙烯醇是一種高分子聚合物,具有良好的生物相容性、可快速溶解且乾燥後機械強度優良,一般認為其適合做為可溶解式微針之載體成分。載體成分為結構性材料,其功能在於固化成型後形成針體的主結構,以聚乙烯醇做為載體成分,可使微針具有足夠穿透皮膚角質層的機械強度。雖然聚乙烯醇具有良好的生物相容性,但終究為人工合成聚合物,非人體本身具有的成分,仍有造成皮膚發炎的潛在風險。因此,如何提供一種不需在針尖添加人工材料卻仍具有足夠機械強度之微針裝置係目前亟需克服的問題。In the field of medical cosmetology or skin repair and maintenance, dissolvable microneedles have also been developed, which are designed to penetrate the stratum corneum and release the microneedles by rapidly dissolving the needles in the epidermis by the tissue fluid in the body. out the active ingredients. At present, there is known a dissolvable microneedle that uses hyaluronic acid as a single material. It uses two sheets to pull the hyaluronic acid between the sheets apart by adhesion, and then dries to form microneedles in the process of pulling apart. Needle. However, the needle body of such a microneedle does not have sufficient mechanical strength and the shape of the needle tip is not sharp, so it is generally unable to penetrate the stratum corneum. In order to make the microneedle have sufficient mechanical strength, there is another dissolvable microneedle made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the main material. Polyvinyl alcohol is a high molecular polymer with good biocompatibility, rapid dissolution and excellent mechanical strength after drying. It is generally considered to be suitable as a carrier component for dissolvable microneedles. The carrier component is a structural material, and its function is to form the main structure of the needle body after curing and molding. Using polyvinyl alcohol as the carrier component can enable the microneedle to have sufficient mechanical strength to penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin. Although polyvinyl alcohol has good biocompatibility, it is a synthetic polymer after all, and it is not a component of the human body itself, and it still has the potential risk of causing skin inflammation. Therefore, how to provide a microneedle device with sufficient mechanical strength without adding artificial material to the needle tip is an urgent problem to be overcome.
有鑑於上述問題,本發明提供一種微針裝置及其製作方法,此種微針裝置不需在針尖添加人工材料,卻能有足夠的機械強度,故可有效穿透皮膚角質層進入表皮層釋放有效成分而無造成發炎的疑慮。其次,本發明亦提供含有淡化色素有效成分之微針裝置,此微針裝置可提升有效成分的使用效率及傳遞效率,以增進淡化色素的效果。於此,有效成分的使用效率提升是指用較少量的有效成分可以達到相同淡化色素的效果,傳遞效率提升是指單位時間透過微針裝置可以遞送較多的有效成分至目標區域(皮膚基底層)。In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a microneedle device and a manufacturing method thereof. Such a microneedle device does not need to add artificial materials to the needle tip, but has sufficient mechanical strength, so it can effectively penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin and enter the epidermis for release. Active ingredients without the concern of causing inflammation. Secondly, the present invention also provides a microneedle device containing an active ingredient for lightening pigments. The microneedle device can improve the use efficiency and delivery efficiency of the active ingredient, so as to enhance the effect of lightening pigments. Here, the improvement of the use efficiency of active ingredients means that the same effect of lightening pigment can be achieved with a smaller amount of active ingredients, and the improvement of delivery efficiency means that more active ingredients can be delivered to the target area (skin base) per unit time through the microneedle device. layer).

在一實施例中,其中各該複數個針體更包含一結構層,其亦係由該成型溶液所製成。In one embodiment, each of the plurality of needle bodies further includes a structural layer, which is also made of the molding solution.
角質層本身就具有抗物理性侵入的功能,加上皮下組織的彈性,過去研究顯示微針針體必須具備足夠的機械強度才能使微針裝置刺穿角質層,但是不會引起人體發炎反應的天然成分普遍在固化後強度不足,無法滿足此需求,是以過去的產品得要添加高含量的人工合成材料聚乙烯醇 (Polyvinyl alcohol,簡稱PVA),甚至以PVA作為微針針體的主材料來彌補。有些微針裝置的整支針體則是由玻尿酸構成,此方式雖然可避免發炎問題,但是卻犧牲了機械強度,而對於要抑制位於表皮層深處的黑色素而言,所能到達的深度是遠遠不夠的。The stratum corneum itself has the function of resisting physical invasion, coupled with the elasticity of the subcutaneous tissue. Past studies have shown that the microneedle body must have sufficient mechanical strength to allow the microneedle device to penetrate the stratum corneum, but it will not cause an inflammatory response in the human body. Natural ingredients generally have insufficient strength after curing, which cannot meet this demand. Therefore, in the past, high content of synthetic material polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was added to the products, and even PVA was used as the main material of the microneedle needle. to make up for it. The entire needle body of some microneedle devices is composed of hyaluronic acid. Although this method can avoid the problem of inflammation, it sacrifices mechanical strength. For the inhibition of melanin located deep in the epidermis, the depth that can be reached is far from enough.
本發明所提供之微針裝置及其製作方法與淡化色素之微針裝置,係藉由分段製程將相同的載體成分形成兩段式或兩層式針尖,從而發生提高結構強度的效果,解決了需要在針尖添加人工材料的問題,相較於在針尖添加PVA的針體而言,同樣可以深入達到表皮層底層。The microneedle device and its manufacturing method and the microneedle device for lightening pigments provided by the present invention form the same carrier component into a two-stage or two-layer needle tip through a segmented manufacturing process, so as to improve the structural strength and solve the problem. In order to solve the problem of adding artificial materials to the needle tip, compared with the needle body with PVA added to the needle tip, it can also reach the bottom layer of the epidermis.
其次,在相同的材料及用量上,透過本發明分段製程的兩段式針尖相較於無分段的針尖高度為高,也就是要製作相同高度的微針針體,兩段式針尖只需要高度比較低的基底層,由於基底層添加有人工材料以強化機械結構,所以降低該層的高度,可以減少人工材料與皮膚表皮層的接觸,甚至可以完全避免人工材料進入皮膚表皮層,減少發炎問題的產生。同時,雖然強化機械強度的基底層高度降低(佔針體體積的比例下降),以此方式製成的微針裝置仍具有足夠機械強度可穿透皮膚角質層。最後,含有淡化色素有效成分之微針裝置,藉由微針裝置可穿透皮膚角質層進入表皮層的特性,將其所承載的有效成分傳遞至表皮層底層釋放,可提升有效成分的使用效率及傳遞效率以增進淡化色素的效果。Secondly, on the same material and dosage, the height of the two-segment needle tip through the segmented process of the present invention is higher than that of the non-segmented needle tip, that is, to make a microneedle body of the same height, the two-segment needle tip only has a higher height. A base layer with a relatively low height is required. Since artificial materials are added to the base layer to strengthen the mechanical structure, reducing the height of this layer can reduce the contact between the artificial material and the skin epidermis, and even completely avoid the artificial material entering the skin epidermis, reducing the Inflammation problems arise. At the same time, the microneedle device fabricated in this way still has sufficient mechanical strength to penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin, although the height of the basal layer that enhances the mechanical strength is reduced (the proportion of the needle body volume is reduced). Finally, the microneedle device containing the active ingredients to lighten pigments can penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin and enter the epidermis through the characteristics of the microneedle device, and transfer the active ingredients carried by the microneedle device to the bottom layer of the epidermis for release, which can improve the use efficiency of the active ingredients. and transfer efficiency to enhance the effect of lightening pigments.

如圖1所示,本發明實施例的微針裝置1具有複數針體11及基材12,所述針體11設置於基材12上。As shown in FIG. 1 , the
基材12的尺寸大小可為略大於1平方公分,基材12的一面可帶有黏性,藉此與針體11黏合並使微針裝置1在使用時可黏貼至使用者的皮膚上,避免微針裝置1在使用時脫落。本創作可選用作為基材12之材料例如不織布、人工皮、醫療用水膠體敷料等,但並非僅限於此。在一較佳實施態樣中,基材12可為羧甲基纖維素鈉(CMC)所製成的醫療用水膠體敷料。The size of the
各個針體11分別包含一針尖層111、一結構層112及一基底層113。針體11之構形可為錐形、平頂錐形(或稱錐台形)或錐柱形,而前兩者差異在於尖端是點狀結構或是平面結構。其中,錐形可為圓錐形、橢圓錐形、三角錐形、四角錐形、五角錐形、六角錐形或多邊錐形,同樣的,平頂錐形或錐柱形也可以具有各式不同的截面形狀,然而本發明不限制針體之構形,任何適合用於刺穿表皮的構形皆可適用於本創作。各個針體11的基底層113沿水平方向相互連接且延伸構成延伸基底層114,其中針體11係藉由延伸基底層114連接於基材12。Each
在一實施例中,延伸基底層114的大小為1平方公分。考量微針裝置1包含的針體11數量過少會使得物理穿刺力度不足,而針體11數量過多會使得製程難度增加且針體11的構形和長度難以控制,因此在1平方公分尺寸下,每一微針裝置可具有100根至289根針體,較佳是每邊具有14根,總共196根針體,但介於100根至289根針體中的任何數目均可使微針裝置1的針體11構形完整並具有足夠的機械強度以穿刺角質層。在另一實施例中,延伸基底層114的大小為2平方公分,每一微針裝置可具有100根至676根針體。其次,針體11的長度可設計為300微米至600微米。當針體11長度為300±10微米時,針體11可穿透至表皮層35微米至90微米的深度,較人體角質層之深度(10至15微米)深但不超過表皮層之深度(約為100微米),可達到穿透角質層將有效成分直接傳遞至表皮中且不會觸碰到佈滿神經及血管的真皮層之功效。當針體11長度為600±10微米時,針體11可穿透至表皮層55微米至130微米的深度,由於人體表皮層之深度不一,此穿刺深度有穿刺至真皮層的風險,可能造成使用時的痛感。因此,較佳的針體11的長度為300±10微米。In one embodiment, the size of the
使用微針裝置1時,使用者可以直接以手將微針裝置1貼至皮膚上,亦可搭配施用器(applicator)在精確的位置上施以固定的力將微針裝置1貼至皮膚上。在一實施例中,針對同一個皮膚部位,使用者可每天施用一片微針裝置1,令微針裝置1與皮膚貼合後停留15至30分鐘再將其取下。較佳地,微針裝置1在皮膚上停留30分鐘後再取下,以使針體11所承載的有效成分有足夠時間在表皮層中溶解。When using the
在針體11中,針尖層111係用以穿透皮膚角質層並在表皮層溶解以釋放有效成分。結構層112含有與針尖層111實質上相同的載體成分,其可增強針體11的機械強度。在一實施例中,結構層112不含有效成分,僅具有載體成分。在另一實施例中,結構層112亦含有有效成分,結構層112進入表皮層後釋放該有效成分。其中,結構層112所含之有效成分可與針尖層111所含之有效成分相同,或者結構層112可含與針尖層111不同的有效成分。針體11之間的結構層112是不互相連續,而針尖層111也是不互相連續,形成複數個獨立釋放有效成分的單位。基底層113則是主要提供針體11具有所需的結構強度的分層,針體11之間的基底層113也是不互相連續,但基底層113沿水平方向相互連接且延伸構成延伸基底層114,將複數個針體11連接為一個裝置。In the

由於第一成型溶液及第二成型溶液是藉由真空抽氣填入模具,溶液黏度會影響操作的難度,發明人發現將溶液的黏度值控制在小於100,000毫帕斯卡‧秒(mPa·s)時,成型溶液可以容易填入模具。溶液黏度值是以流變儀(Anton Parr MCR320)搭配平行板(型號:PP25或PP43)進行測試,測試條件為溫度25ºC、剪切率(shear rate)設定範圍為0.1至100秒分之一(s-1 )。在一實施例中,以溫度25ºC、剪切率1秒分之一(s-1 )之黏度值為基準,第一成型溶液或第二成型溶液之黏度值落於50至165毫帕斯卡‧秒。在一較佳實施例中,第一成型溶液或第二成型溶液之黏度值約為53.3毫帕斯卡‧秒;在另一較佳實施例中,第一成型溶液或第二成型溶液之黏度值約為163.5毫帕斯卡‧秒。Since the first molding solution and the second molding solution are filled into the mold by vacuum evacuation, the viscosity of the solution will affect the difficulty of operation.

實施例1及實施例2:三階段微針裝置Example 1 and Example 2: Three-stage Microneedle Device
為製備本實施例之微針裝置,遂以實施例1與實施例2為範例,示例微針裝置之製作過程,其中,實施例1之第一成型溶液、第二成型溶液及第三成型溶液係來自配方一;實施例2之第一成型溶液、第二成型溶液及第三成型溶液係來自配方二,分別將實施例1或實施例2施以前述之製作流程,以製得該等實施例之微針裝置。In order to prepare the microneedle device of this embodiment, Example 1 and Example 2 are used as examples to illustrate the manufacturing process of the microneedle device, wherein the first molding solution, the second molding solution and the third molding solution of Example 1 are It comes from
如表1所示,配方一的第一成型溶液與第二成型溶液的成分相同,配方二的第一成型溶液與第二成型溶液的成分相同,實施例1及實施例2仍將製作流程分為三階段完成。As shown in Table 1, the composition of the first molding solution and the second molding solution of
比較例1及比較例2:二階段微針裝置Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2: Two-stage Microneedle Device
為說明實施例1及實施例2之三階段微針裝置的優點,另製作二階段微針裝置進行比較。In order to illustrate the advantages of the three-stage microneedle device in Example 1 and Example 2, another two-stage microneedle device was fabricated for comparison.
二階段微針裝置是指將兩倍量的第一成型溶液一次填入模具中,不填入第二成型溶液而直接填入第三成型溶液所製成的微針裝置。比較例1是利用配方一所製得之二階段微針裝置,比較例2是利用配方二所製得之二階段微針裝置。The two-stage microneedle device refers to a microneedle device made by filling twice the amount of the first molding solution into the mold at one time, without filling the second molding solution but directly filling the third molding solution. Comparative example 1 is a two-stage microneedle device prepared by
以微針裝置的針體總長度設定為600±10微米,比較實施例1、2及比較例1、2的針體的基底層高度,實驗結果如圖3A和圖3B所示。請參閱圖3A,比較例1之二階段微針裝置中針體的基底層高度為170±10微米,佔針體高度的28%,而實施例1之三階段微針裝置中針體的基底層高度為158±12微米,佔針體高度的26%;再請參閱圖3B,比較例2之二階段微針裝置中針體的基底層高度為191±7微米,佔針體高度的32%,實施例2所製得之三階段微針裝置的針體的基底層高度為181±9微米,佔針體高度的30%。The total length of the needle body of the microneedle device is set to 600±10 μm, and the height of the base layer of the needle bodies of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is compared, and the experimental results are shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B . Referring to FIG. 3A , the height of the base layer of the needle body in the two-stage microneedle device of Comparative Example 1 is 170±10 μm, accounting for 28% of the height of the needle body, while the base layer of the needle body in the three-stage microneedle device of Example 1 The height of the layer is 158±12 μm, accounting for 26% of the height of the needle body; please refer to Figure 3B again, the height of the base layer of the needle body in the second-stage microneedle device of Comparative Example 2 is 191±7 μm, accounting for 32% of the height of the needle body. %, the height of the base layer of the needle body of the three-stage microneedle device prepared in Example 2 is 181±9 μm, accounting for 30% of the height of the needle body.
由以上結果可知,實施例1、2之三階段微針裝置之製作方法藉由分段製程將相同的載體成分分批形成兩段式或兩層式針尖,在相同的材料及用量上,實施例1、2之三階段微針裝置的針體的基底層高度皆分別小於比較例1、2之二階段微針裝置的針體的基底層高度。由此可見,為了製作相同高度的微針裝置,本創作之微針裝置的基底層兩段式針尖只需要高度比較低的基底層。由於基底層是設計用於添加人工材料以強化機械結構,所以降低基底層的高度,可以減少人工材料與皮膚表皮層的接觸,甚至可以實質上完全避免人工材料進入皮膚表皮層,減少使用時的發炎問題。From the above results, it can be seen that the manufacturing method of the three-stage microneedle device in Examples 1 and 2 uses the same carrier component to form a two-stage or two-layer needle tip in batches through a segmented process. The heights of the base layer of the needle bodies of the three-stage microneedle devices of Examples 1 and 2 are both smaller than the base layer heights of the needle bodies of the two-stage microneedle devices of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, respectively. It can be seen that, in order to manufacture a microneedle device of the same height, the two-stage needle tip of the base layer of the microneedle device of the present invention only needs a base layer with a lower height. Since the basal layer is designed to add artificial materials to strengthen the mechanical structure, reducing the height of the basal layer can reduce the contact between artificial materials and the skin epidermis, and can even substantially completely prevent artificial materials from entering the skin epidermis, reducing the use of artificial materials. Inflammation problems.
雖然實施例1、2之三階段微針裝置中提供機械強度的基底層之高度下降,但依本發明實施例之製作方法所製得之三階段微針裝置仍具有足夠機械強度可穿透皮膚角質層,此效果將於下列試驗例中進一步說明。Although the height of the base layer providing mechanical strength in the three-stage microneedle device of Examples 1 and 2 is reduced, the three-stage microneedle device produced according to the manufacturing method of the embodiment of the present invention still has sufficient mechanical strength to penetrate the skin stratum corneum, this effect will be further illustrated in the following test examples.
以下試驗例將說明實施例1及實施例2三階段微針裝置之微針特性,包含微針之機械強度與豬皮穿透測試。The following test examples will illustrate the microneedle characteristics of the three-stage microneedle device of Example 1 and Example 2, including the mechanical strength of the microneedle and the penetration test of pigskin.
試驗一test one :: 微針裝置之機械強度Mechanical strength of the microneedle device
為量測微針裝置之針體的機械強度,本試驗將利用壓縮治具對針體總長度為600±10微米的微針裝置進行測試。將壓縮治具的上平板在距離下平板10公釐高度處歸零,設定上平板以每秒1.1公厘之速度向貼附有微針裝置之下平板的方向壓縮,於接觸針體後偵測荷重與位移數值,用以找出針體所能承受之機械強度。依據研究指出,刺穿人體皮膚之最小應力為每根針0.058牛頓,因此基於此一觀點,針體所能承受之機械強度必須大於每根針0.058牛頓。In order to measure the mechanical strength of the needle body of the microneedle device, this test will use a compression fixture to test the microneedle device with a total length of the needle body of 600±10 microns. Set the upper plate of the compression fixture to zero at a height of 10 mm from the lower plate, and set the upper plate to compress at a speed of 1.1 mm per second towards the lower plate attached to the microneedle device. Measure the value of load and displacement to find out the mechanical strength that the needle body can bear. According to research, the minimum stress for piercing human skin is 0.058 Newton per needle, so based on this point of view, the mechanical strength that the needle body can withstand must be greater than 0.058 Newton per needle.
試驗結果顯示於圖4A至4D所示。圖4A為比較例1之二階段微針裝置及實施例1之三階段微針裝置的應力對應位移圖,圖4B為圖4A中虛線框出區域的放大圖;圖4C為比較例2之二階段微針裝置及實施例2之三階段微針裝置的應力對應位移圖,圖4D為圖4C中虛線框出區域的放大圖。The test results are shown in Figures 4A to 4D. FIG. 4A is a stress-corresponding displacement diagram of the two-stage microneedle device of Comparative Example 1 and the three-stage microneedle device of Example 1; FIG. 4B is an enlarged view of the area framed by the dotted line in FIG. 4A ; FIG. 4C is the second of Comparative Example 2 The stress-corresponding displacement diagrams of the staged microneedle device and the three-stage microneedle device of Example 2, FIG. 4D is an enlarged view of the area framed by the dotted line in FIG. 4C .
如圖4A及圖4C所示,在應力增加的情形下,無論比較例1、2之兩階段微針裝置或實施例1、2之三階段微針裝置的曲線皆沒有突然驟降之反曲點,表示微針裝置沒有因承受應力而斷裂。在每根針荷重0.058牛頓時,位移量皆在針長二分之一處(即0.3毫米)內,表示兩階段微針裝置或三階段微針裝置皆可承受穿刺皮膚之最小應力。如圖4B所示,以0.2毫米位移量下之應力值進行比較,實施例1之三階段微針裝置的微針機械強度平均值為每根針0.16±0.04牛頓,與比較例1之二階段微針裝置的微針機械強度平均值為每根針0.19±0.07牛頓無顯著差異;如圖4D所示,以0.2毫米位移量下之應力值進行比較,實施例2之三階段微針裝置的微針機械強度平均值為每根針0.26±0.21牛頓,與比較例2之二階段微針裝置的微針機械強度平均值為每根針0.21±0.04牛頓亦無顯著差異。由上述結果可知,雖然三階段微針裝置之基底層高度降低,卻不影響微針的機械強度,即依本發明實施例之製作方法所製得之微針裝置仍具有足夠機械強度可穿透皮膚角質層。As shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4C , under the condition of increasing stress, the curves of the two-stage microneedle devices of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 or the three-stage microneedle devices of Examples 1 and 2 have no inflection of sudden sudden drop. The dots indicate that the microneedle device did not break due to stress. When each needle is loaded with 0.058 N, the displacement is within one-half of the needle length (ie, 0.3 mm), indicating that both the two-stage microneedle device or the three-stage microneedle device can withstand the minimum stress of puncturing the skin. As shown in FIG. 4B , compared with the stress value under the displacement of 0.2 mm, the average value of the microneedle mechanical strength of the three-stage microneedle device of Example 1 is 0.16±0.04 N per needle, which is comparable to that of the second stage of Comparative Example 1. The average value of the microneedle mechanical strength of the microneedle device was 0.19±0.07 Newton per needle, and there was no significant difference; as shown in Figure 4D, the stress value under the displacement of 0.2 mm was compared. The average mechanical strength of the microneedles was 0.26±0.21 Newton per needle, which was not significantly different from the average value of the microneedle mechanical strength of the two-stage microneedle device in Comparative Example 2, which was 0.21±0.04 Newton per needle. It can be seen from the above results that although the height of the base layer of the three-stage microneedle device is reduced, it does not affect the mechanical strength of the microneedle, that is, the microneedle device prepared according to the manufacturing method of the embodiment of the present invention still has sufficient mechanical strength to penetrate Cuticle of skin.
試驗二Test two :: 微針裝置之豬皮穿刺深度檢測Pig skin puncture depth detection by microneedle device
為了解本案實施例1或實施例2微針裝置之針體於實際穿刺皮膚時所能刺入之深度,遂對實施例1及實施例2之三階段微針裝置進行豬皮穿刺深度檢測。本試驗例以三種不同針長進行測試,分別為300微米、450微米與600微米。製作不同針長的微針裝置僅需調整模具成型部之凹槽深度,並對應調整第一成型溶液、第二成型溶液及第三成型溶液填入模具的量。In order to know the depth that the needle body of the microneedle device of Example 1 or Example 2 can penetrate when actually piercing the skin, the pigskin puncture depth was detected on the three-stage microneedle device of Example 1 and Example 2. This test example was tested with three different needle lengths, namely 300 microns, 450 microns and 600 microns. To manufacture microneedle devices with different needle lengths, it is only necessary to adjust the depth of the groove of the molding part of the mold, and correspondingly adjust the amount of the first molding solution, the second molding solution and the third molding solution filled into the mold.
將微針裝置貼附於萬能材料試驗機可位移之上平板,將豬皮固定於下平板,接著,將上平板以每分鐘600毫米之速度向下移動,待平板之感應力達到17牛頓(N)後停止(係根據每根針之最小刺穿皮膚應力為0.058牛頓,乘以總針數後計得),停止後維持上平板與下平板之狀態5分鐘後移開平板,結束穿刺。取下豬皮並以組織染色染劑確認豬皮表面有無孔洞,其後,將豬皮裁切並浸泡於福馬林中進行固定。豬皮固定後包埋並進行切片,以蘇木精-伊紅(H-E stain)染色並於光學顯微鏡下觀察微針的刺穿深度並量化後如圖5B及圖6B所示。Attach the microneedle device to the displaceable upper plate of the universal material testing machine, fix the pigskin to the lower plate, and then move the upper plate downward at a speed of 600 mm per minute until the induction force of the plate reaches 17 Newtons ( N) and then stop (calculated based on the minimum skin piercing stress of each needle is 0.058 Newton, multiplied by the total number of needles), after stopping, maintain the state of the upper plate and the lower plate for 5 minutes, remove the plate, and end the puncture. The pigskin was removed, and the presence or absence of pores on the surface of the pigskin was confirmed with tissue stain. After that, the pigskin was cut and immersed in formalin for fixation. The pigskin was fixed and then embedded and sectioned, stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H-E stain), and the penetration depth of the microneedles was observed and quantified under an optical microscope, as shown in Figure 5B and Figure 6B.

It can be seen from FIG. 5A and FIG. 6A that the microneedle device of Example 1 with different needle lengths and the microneedle device of Example 2 with different needle lengths can both penetrate the stratum corneum to the epidermis. 5B and 6B more clearly show that the penetration depths of the microneedle devices of Example 1 with different needle lengths and the microneedle devices of Example 2 with different needle lengths can penetrate the stratum corneum to the epidermis.
試驗三:微針裝置用於淡班之效果Experiment 3: The effect of microneedle device used in light shifts
為瞭解使用者利用微針裝置淡化色素的效果,進行微針裝置的雙盲半臉對照使用試驗。In order to understand the effect of the user's use of the microneedle device to lighten the pigment, a double-blind half-face control experiment of the microneedle device was carried out.
本試驗共招募15位年齡30歲以上的受試者,每位受試者臉上有明顯黑斑(包含雀斑、曬斑或肝斑),在受試者的左臉及右臉分別選一塊黑斑作為測試標的。提供每位受試者兩組微針裝置,其中一組(實驗組)微針裝置含有淡化色素之有效成分,另一組(對照組)微針裝置則不含淡化色素之有效成分,同一組微針裝置使用於同一個測試標的上。微針裝置於每日臉部清潔後施用一次,每次停留二十分鐘,連續使用十四天。A total of 15 subjects over the age of 30 were recruited in this trial. Each subject has obvious dark spots (including freckles, sunburn or liver spots) on the face, and choose one on the left and right faces of the subject. Dark spots are used as test targets. Each subject was provided with two groups of microneedle devices, one of which (experimental group) microneedle devices contained active ingredients for lightening pigments, and the other group (control group) microneedle devices did not contain active ingredients for lightening pigments. The microneedle device is used on the same test target. The microneedle device was applied once a day after facial cleansing, and stayed for 20 minutes each time for 14 consecutive days.
於本試驗中,利用色彩色差計(colorimeter,廠牌型號:Konica Minolta CR-400 Chroma meter)分別於試驗的第一天(微針裝置使用前)及第十五天量測各受試者之膚色。色彩色差計所測得之色差數據包含a值、b值及L值。a值表示紅綠,+a表示偏紅,-a表示偏綠;b值表示黃藍,+b表示偏黃,-b表示偏藍;L值表示明亮度,+L表示偏白,-L表示偏黑。使用微針貼片前後的各數值變化記載於表2。
表2:受試者使用微針貼片之使用試驗結果
試驗解盲後,使用不含有效成分之微針裝置的測試標的歸為對照組,使用含有效成分之微針裝置的測試標的歸為實驗組。受試者在使用微針裝置期間,皆未發生皮膚破損或出血的現象,可知微針貼片並未刺穿表皮。After the experiment was unblinded, the test subjects using the microneedle device without active ingredients were classified as the control group, and the test subjects using the microneedle device containing active ingredients were classified as the experimental group. During the use of the microneedle device, the subjects did not experience skin damage or bleeding, and it can be seen that the microneedle patch did not pierce the epidermis.
於表2中,Δa為使用微針裝置後之a值變化值,Δb為使用微針裝置後之b值變化值,ΔL為使用微針裝置後之L值變化值,ΔITA°為使用微針裝置後之ITA°值變化值。ITA°係個別類型角度(Individual Typological Angle),可做為皮膚顏色或是皮膚色素沉著程度的指標,係依下列公式計算而得:。當ΔITA°為正值時,表示測試標的膚色變白皙;ΔL為正值時,表示測試標的膚色變亮。In Table 2, Δa is the change in a value after using the microneedle device, Δb is the change in b value after using the microneedle device, ΔL is the change in L value after using the microneedle device, ΔITA° is the change in the value of L after using the microneedle device The change in ITA° value after installation. ITA° is an individual type angle (Individual Typological Angle), which can be used as an indicator of skin color or skin pigmentation degree. It is calculated according to the following formula: . When ΔITA° is a positive value, it means that the skin color of the test object becomes fair; when ΔL is a positive value, it means that the skin color of the test object becomes brighter.
如表2所示,實驗組的ΔL及ΔITA°皆為正值且與對照組之ΔL及ΔITA°有統計差異(p>0.05),表示實驗組的測試標的在使用含有效成分之微針裝置兩周後膚色變亮且變白皙。由此可見,當微針裝置中含有淡化色素之有效成分時,能明顯讓受試者獲得皮膚變白皙以及膚色變亮的效果,反之,對照組的微針裝置因不具有淡化色素之有效成分,故無法達到前述功效。As shown in Table 2, the ΔL and ΔITA° of the experimental group are both positive and there is a statistical difference with the ΔL and ΔITA° of the control group (p>0.05), indicating that the test target of the experimental group is using the microneedle device containing active ingredients The complexion is brightened and fairer after two weeks. It can be seen that when the microneedle device contains the active ingredient for lightening pigment, the subjects can obviously obtain the effect of fair skin and skin tone. , so the aforementioned effect cannot be achieved.
承上所述,利用本發明之製作方法,成型溶液可貼平於模具表面而可完整填入模具,所製作出來的微針裝置針體構型完整。本發明所提供之微針裝置及其製作方法與淡化色素之微針裝置係藉由分段製程將相同的載體成分形成兩段式或兩層式針尖,從而發生提高結構強度的效果,解決了需要在針尖添加人工材料的問題,相較於在針尖添加PVA的針體而言,同樣可以深入達到表皮層底層。Based on the above, using the manufacturing method of the present invention, the molding solution can be flattened on the surface of the mold and can be completely filled into the mold, and the needle body of the manufactured microneedle device has a complete configuration. The microneedle device and its manufacturing method provided by the present invention and the microneedle device for lightening pigments form two-stage or two-layer needle tips from the same carrier component through a segmented manufacturing process, so as to improve the structural strength and solve the problem. The problem of adding artificial materials to the needle tip can also reach the bottom layer of the epidermis compared to the needle body with PVA added to the needle tip.
其次,在相同的材料及用量上,透過本發明分段製程的兩段式針尖相較於無分段的針尖高度為高,也就是要製作相同高度的微針針體,兩段式針尖只需要高度比較低的基底層,由於基底層添加有人工材料以強化機械結構,所以降低該層的高度,可以減少人工材料與皮膚表皮層的接觸,甚至可以完全避免人工材料進入皮膚表皮層,減少發炎問題的產生。同時,雖然強化機械強度的基底層高度降低(佔針體體積的比例下降),以此方式製成的微針裝置仍具有足夠機械強度可穿透皮膚角質層。最後,含有淡化色素有效成分之微針裝置,藉由微針裝置可穿透皮膚角質層進入表皮層的特性,將其所承載的有效成分傳遞至表皮層底層釋放,可提升有效成分的使用效率及傳遞效率以增進淡化色素的效果。Secondly, on the same material and dosage, the height of the two-segment needle tip through the segmented process of the present invention is higher than that of the non-segmented needle tip, that is, to make a microneedle body of the same height, the two-segment needle tip only has a higher height. A base layer with a relatively low height is required. Since artificial materials are added to the base layer to strengthen the mechanical structure, reducing the height of this layer can reduce the contact between the artificial material and the skin epidermis, and even completely prevent the artificial material from entering the skin epidermis, reducing the Inflammation problems arise. At the same time, the microneedle device fabricated in this way still has sufficient mechanical strength to penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin, although the height of the basal layer that enhances the mechanical strength is reduced (the proportion of the needle body volume is reduced). Finally, the microneedle device containing the active ingredients for lightening pigments can penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin and enter the epidermis through the characteristics of the microneedle device, and transfer the active ingredients carried by the microneedle device to the bottom layer of the epidermis for release, which can improve the use efficiency of the active ingredients. and transfer efficiency to enhance the effect of lightening pigments.
