Description

Long-acting microsphere of protein polypeptide drug and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medicinal preparations, in particular to a long-acting microsphere of a protein polypeptide medicament and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Protein polypeptide drugs are the most widely used biological macromolecules at present, and play an increasingly important role in preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases due to the characteristics of high potency, good biocompatibility, low dosage and the like. Protein polypeptide drugs, which are active substances having metabolic functions in organisms, relate to various fields such as hormones, nerves, cell growth and reproduction. Compared with the traditional micromolecular chemical drugs, the protein polypeptide drug has definite internal action, small toxic and side effect, strong pharmacological action, less adverse reaction and higher safety, so the research and development work of the protein polypeptide drug becomes one of the hot spots in the field of medicine research and development.
Protein polypeptide drugs have poor stability, low oral bioavailability and short half-life in vivo, so clinically, the protein polypeptide drugs mainly take injection and freeze-dried powder injection formulations, and frequent injection administration is usually required to achieve curative effect, which results in low compliance of patients. In order to improve the bioavailability of protein polypeptide drugs and reduce the administration frequency, the development of long-acting preparations is a main direction for the research and development of new dosage forms and new technologies of drugs. After single administration, the long-acting injection microsphere preparation can maintain the effective blood concentration in vivo for several days to several months, thereby meeting the treatment requirements of different diseases. So far, protein polypeptide drug microspheres approved by FDA include leuprorelin microspheres, triptorelin microspheres, octreotide microspheres, growth hormone microspheres, and the like.
In the existing research, the W/O/W multiple emulsion method is the most common method for preparing the protein-carrying polypeptide drug microsphere preparation. The method is that water-soluble protein polypeptide medicine is dissolved in an inner water phase, carriers such as PLGA and the like are dissolved in an organic phase, the inner water phase is added into the organic phase to be emulsified to form W/O type colostrum, then the colostrum is transferred to an outer water phase containing an emulsifier to form W/O/W type multiple emulsion, and the multiple emulsion is slowly stirred in a large volume of the dispersed phase to gradually volatilize and solidify the organic phase into balls. The process has complicated steps, and the addition of the external water phase easily causes the migration of protein polypeptide drugs from the internal water phase, thus causing the defects of low encapsulation rate, high burst release rate and the like of the microspheres.

The resulting microspheres were recorded as microspheres 3-6, respectively.
The morphology of each microsphere prepared in this example was observed under a cold field Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) according to the method of example 1, and as a result: the microsphere 3 is irregular in shape due to too low PLGA concentration, the microsphere collapses (as shown in A in figure 4), the microspheres 4 and 5 are complete in spherical shape, the particles are regular and are not adhered, the microspheres 6 are filiform due to too high PLGA concentration, and the shape of part of the microspheres is irregular (as shown in C in figure 4).

The resulting microspheres were designated microspheres 7-11, respectively.
The morphology of each microsphere prepared in this example was observed under a cold field Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) according to the method of example 1, and as a result: the microspheres 7 are not completely dried due to the over-high proportion of the water phase, and are adhered among the microspheres, so that the dispersibility is poor; the surfaces of the microspheres 8, 9 and 10 are smooth, the spheres are complete, and no adhesion exists among the particles; the microspheres 11 failed to form microspheres due to the high proportion of oil phase.
Example 6: preparation of bovine serum albumin microspheres
The preparation method of the bovine serum albumin microspheres of this example is basically the same as example 1, except that the rotation speed of the high-speed rotary disk is different, and the rotation speed of the high-speed rotary disk is 6000rpm, 9000rpm and 15000rpm respectively. The resulting microspheres are designated microspheres 12-14, respectively.
The morphology of each microsphere prepared in this example was observed under a cold field Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) according to the method of example 1, and as a result: the surfaces of the microspheres 12 and 13 are smooth, the spheres are complete, and no adhesion exists among the particles; the microspheres 14 partially take on a flake shape due to the excessive rotation speed of the spinning disk.
Example 7: preparation of bovine serum albumin microspheres
The preparation method of the bovine serum albumin microspheres of the embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, except that the liquid supply speeds are different, and the liquid supply speeds are 3mL/min and 20mL/min respectively. The resulting microspheres were designated microspheres 15-16, respectively.

Example 8: preparation of bovine serum albumin microspheres
The preparation method of the bovine serum albumin microspheres of this example is basically the same as that of example 1, except that the power of the cell disruptor is different, and the power of the cell disruptor is 100W, 200W, 500W and 700W respectively. The obtained microspheres are respectively marked as microspheres 17-20.
The morphology of each microsphere prepared in this example was observed under a cold field Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) according to the method of example 1, and as a result: when the power of the cell disruptor is 100W, no formed microspheres are seen, and when the power is 200W, 500W and 700W, the surfaces of the microspheres are smooth, the spheres are complete, and no adhesion exists among the particles.
The encapsulation efficiency of the bovine serum albumin microspheres in each example was measured according to the measurement method of example 1, and the results are shown in table 1:
TABLE 1 encapsulation efficiency of bovine serum albumin microspheres
Figure BDA0001675107290000071
Figure BDA0001675107290000081
As can be seen from Table 1, the encapsulation efficiency of the BSA microspheres is mainly related to the concentration of PLGA, the volume ratio of oil to water, the rotation speed of the spinning disk and the power of the cell disruptor for forming the W/O emulsion. Within a certain range, the higher the PLGA concentration is, the higher the encapsulation efficiency of the medicine is, and when the PLGA concentration is 40-80mg/mL, the encapsulation efficiency of the microspheres can reach more than 90%. The difference of the oil-water phase volume ratio can affect the property of the W/O emulsion, and further affect the encapsulation efficiency of the microspheres, and when the volume ratio is 10:1-30:1, the encapsulation efficiency of the microspheres can reach over 90 percent. When the rotating speed of the rotary disc is 6000-12000rpm, the encapsulation efficiency of the microspheres is hardly influenced, and the encapsulation efficiency of the obtained microspheres is high, and when the rotating speed reaches 15000rpm, the encapsulation efficiency is reduced, which is caused by the breakage of the microspheres due to overhigh rotating speed. When the power of the cell disruption instrument is 200-700W, the encapsulation efficiency of the microspheres is higher, and when the power is 400-500W, the encapsulation efficiency can reach 90%.
Comparative example 1: preparation of bovine serum albumin W/O/W microspheres

The microspheres prepared in the comparative example were smaller in particle size and non-uniform in size compared to the microspheres prepared in example 1. The particle size distribution of the W/O/W microspheres is shown in fig. 6 (the determination method is the same as that of example 1), and the microspheres prepared in the comparative example have a wider particle size distribution and two peaks, i.e., d (0.1) ═ 1.78 ± 0.15 μm, d (0.5) ═ 10.66 ± 1.79 μm, and d (0.9) ═ 148.62 ± 8.71 μm, compared with the microspheres prepared in example 1; the encapsulation efficiency of the medicine is 75.39 +/-0.58% (the determination method is the same as that of the example 1), and is lower than that of the bovine serum albumin microspheres prepared in the example 1.
Comparative example 2: preparation of bovine serum albumin microspheres
The preparation method of the bovine serum albumin microspheres of the comparative example comprises the following steps:
(1) preparation of bovine serum albumin microparticles: bovine serum albumin and PEG polyethylene glycol (5: 1, w/w) were added to a phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.4 to form a mixed solution. Pre-freezing at-80 deg.C overnight, and vacuum drying to obtain solid powder. The resulting mixed solid powder was thoroughly washed with methylene chloride to remove PEG, and then dried to obtain bovine serum albumin BSA microparticles (S).

Precisely weighing 20mg of each of the bovine serum albumin microspheres prepared in example 1 and the microspheres prepared in comparative example 1, placing the 20mg of each of the bovine serum albumin microspheres and the microspheres in a 2mL sample centrifuge tube, adding 1mL of phosphate buffer PBS (pH 7.4), placing the mixture in an air bath oscillator, oscillating the mixture at constant temperature under the conditions of 37 ℃ and 100rpm, taking out the centrifuge tube at a preset time point, centrifuging the mixture for 5min under the condition of 10000rpm, sucking all supernatants and measuring the drug amount of the supernatants; the sample tubes were additionally supplemented with 1mL of fresh PBS (pH 7.4) and placed in an air bath shaker for continued shaking. Samples released in vitro were assayed for bovine serum albumin content using the Micro BCA kit (see figure 7 for results). Experimental results show that the sustained-release time of the microspheres prepared in example 1 is about 110 days, the first-day release amount is only 4.83 +/-0.16%, the first-day release amount of the W/O/W microspheres prepared in comparative example 1 reaches 20.01 +/-0.45%, and the burst rate is high.

As can be seen from Table 2, the release of BSA microspheres is mainly related to the PLGA concentration, the oil-water-phase volume ratio, the spinning speed and the power of the cell disruptor for forming W/O emulsion. When the PLGA concentration is 40-60mg/mL, the 24h burst rate is less than 6% and the cumulative release amount can reach more than 80%. The difference of the oil-water phase volume ratio can affect the property of the W/O emulsion and further affect the release of the microspheres, when the volume ratio is 20:1-40:1, the 24-hour burst release rate is less than 5 percent, and the cumulative release amount can reach more than 80 percent. When the rotating speed of the rotary disc is 9000-. The power of the cell disruptor can affect the properties of the W/O emulsion, such as the particle size, the stability of the emulsion, and the like, and further affect the formability of the microspheres and the release of the microspheres, wherein when the power is 400-500W, the 24h burst release rate is less than 5% and the cumulative release amount can reach more than 80%. In addition, the preparation method of the microspheres of comparative example 1 and comparative example 2 is different from that of example 1, and both the encapsulation efficiency and the release effect are far worse than those of example 1.
Example 10: circular dichroism chromatography method for detecting secondary structure of medicine in microsphere

Detecting the secondary structure of the protein drug in each sample by using a circular dichroism method: the samples were added to a 1mm cuvette, then the cuvette was placed in a circular dichroism spectrometer with a wavelength scan range of 180-260nm, and the circular dichroism curves of the samples were recorded, with the results shown in FIG. 9. The results show that the bovine serum albumin drug in the microsphere sample prepared in example 1 shows a circular dichroism chromatogram similar to that of a bovine serum albumin bulk drug, which indicates that the microsphere prepared in example 1 can protect the secondary structure of protein.
