Definitions
- the present invention relates to a microneedle array and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a microneedle array manufactured using a mold manufactured by an injection molding method using a thermoplastic resin as a material, and a microneedle array capable of loading a plurality of active ingredients; It relates to a manufacturing method thereof.
- microneedle formulations aim to deliver ingredients through the skin to achieve a desired efficacy.
- the microneedle formulation uses microneedles with diameters and heights of only tens to thousands of micrometers to penetrate the stratum corneum, which is the main barrier layer for ingredient delivery through the skin.
- the target component reaches the epidermal layer or the dermal layer, so that the microneedle is applied or the body's circulatory system exhibits efficacy throughout the body.
- the material of the microneedle can be largely divided into a metal microneedle and a biodegradable material microneedle.
- the metal microneedle has a hollow microneedle shape like a general injection needle with a path through which the component to be delivered can move, and a solid microneedle that delivers the component by coating it on the surface of the microneedle.
- the biodegradable microneedle is mainly in the form of a solid microneedle, and the component is coated on the surface of the microneedle or the microneedle is formed like a biodegradable polymer and applied to the skin, and then the applied microneedle is decomposed to deliver the component. .
- the microneedle is generally manufactured by injecting a material constituting the needle into a metal (iron, silicon, etc.) mold in which the shape of the microneedle is engraved.
- the process of separating the microneedle from the mold to cycle the manufacturing process after the formation of the microneedle is essential. .
- the shape of the microneedle may be deformed or lost during an additional manufacturing or distribution process. Such deformation or loss may result in non-uniformity in the content of individual microneedles, and as a result, may lead to imbalance in the total content of drugs loaded into the microneedle array.
- the metal mold is an accessory of the manufacturing equipment, for mass production, the manufacturing equipment must be enlarged as the size of the metal mold increases, and the manufacturing cost also increases. There is a problem in that the production cost is lowered due to this.
- the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and an object of the present invention is to use a mold manufactured by injection molding using a thermoplastic resin as a material, and a microneedle capable of loading a plurality of active ingredients An array and a method for manufacturing the same are provided.
- one aspect of the present invention comprises the steps of (a) manufacturing a mold for manufacturing a microneedle divided into at least two or more regions, and including one or more intaglio portions in each region; and (b) molding one or more microneedles by injecting different microneedle raw materials into the respective regions.
- the mold may be a method of manufacturing a microneedle array, characterized in that manufactured by injection molding a thermoplastic resin.
- the thermoplastic resin is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polypropylene (PP). It may be a manufacturing method.
- the mold may be a method of manufacturing a microneedle array, characterized in that the mold is a primary packaging container in full close contact with the microneedle and is removed immediately before application of the microneedle to the human body.
- step (c) laminating an adhesive sheet on a flat surface including an upper surface of the microneedle and one surface of the mold; characterized in that it further comprises It may be a method of manufacturing a microneedle array.
- the pressure is reduced to 0.5 atm or less, and then filled with a blade or pressurized to 2 atm or more to the intaglio of the mold. It may be a method of manufacturing a microneedle array, characterized in that.
- step (b) the microneedle raw material containing the active ingredient to be delivered is filled in the concave part of the mold, and after primary drying, the base part raw material is filled on the upper part, Secondary drying may be a method of manufacturing a microneedle array, characterized in that the microneedle is molded.
- the microneedle raw material may be a method of manufacturing a microneedle array, characterized in that at least one selected from the group consisting of metals, non-metals, biodegradable polymers, and pharmacological components.
- the base raw material is carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), hyaluronic acid (HA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polylactic acid (PLA), polylacticcoglycolic acid (PLGA), It may be a method of manufacturing a microneedle array, characterized in that at least one selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).
- CMC carboxymethyl cellulose
- HA hyaluronic acid
- PVA polyvinyl alcohol
- PLA polylactic acid
- PLGA polylacticcoglycolic acid
- PVP polyvinylpyrrolidone
- another aspect of the present invention is a mold for manufacturing a microneedle that is partitioned into at least two or more regions, and includes one or more intaglios in each region; and one or more microneedles molded by injecting different microneedle raw materials into the respective regions; it provides a microneedle array comprising a.
- the mold may be a microneedle array, characterized in that manufactured by injection molding a thermoplastic resin.
- the thermoplastic resin is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), and polypropylene (PP). Characterized in, it may be a microneedle array.
- the mold may be a microneedle array, characterized in that it is removed immediately before application of the microneedle to the human body as a primary packaging material in full close contact with the microneedle.
- the microneedle raw material may be a method of manufacturing a microneedle array, characterized in that at least one selected from the group consisting of metals, non-metals, biodegradable polymers, and pharmacological components.
- it may be a microneedle array, characterized in that it further comprises a base on the upper surface of the microneedle.
- the base portion is carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), hyaluronic acid (HA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polylactic acid (PLA), polylacticcoglycolic acid (PLGA), polyvinyl It may be a microneedle array, characterized in that at least one selected from the group consisting of pyrrolidone (PVP).
