Description

Drug-loaded microneedle, drug-loaded microneedle patch, electrically controlled drug release microneedle system and preparation method of drug-loaded microneedle
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of microneedle drug-loaded release, in particular to a drug-loaded microneedle, a drug-loaded microneedle patch, an electric control drug-loaded release microneedle system and a preparation method of the drug-loaded microneedle.
Background
The micro-needle is a novel transdermal drug delivery system, when the drug is delivered, the micro-needle can pierce the stratum corneum of the skin, so that a micro-channel from the stratum corneum to the epidermis layer or the dermis shallow layer is opened for the delivery of the drug, and then the drug is absorbed by capillary vessels, and the drug active molecules reach the focus part of the human body along with the blood circulation to play a role in treatment. Compared with the traditional transdermal drug delivery system, the microneedle has the advantages of no pain feeling, autonomous drug application, accurate and rapid drug delivery, convenient carrying and use and the like because the microneedle can not touch the nerve endings of the dermis. The microneedle administration combines the advantages of both transdermal patch and subcutaneous injection, and avoids the disadvantages of both.
However, the release of the drug in the common microneedle drug delivery system is not controllable and cannot be adapted to the controlled release of the drug. In order to solve the problem, scientific research workers control the micro-needles to release the drugs in an electrical stimulation mode, namely, a metal layer is formed on the surface of the needle body of the micro-needle, and then a drug-loading conductive thin film layer is formed on the metal layer, so that the coating micro-needle is formed, and the drug-loading conductive thin film layer can release the drugs when being electrically stimulated.
In the process of implementing the embodiment of the invention, the inventor finds that at least the following defects exist in the background art:
1. the drug-carrying conductive film layer is formed on the surface of the needle body of the microneedle and is easy to peel off, so that part of the drug cannot be delivered into the skin, or the drug can be remained in the body after penetrating into the skin, and the drug administration effect is seriously influenced;
2. because the medicine-carrying conductive film layer is a medicine-carrying coating formed on the surface of the needle body of the microneedle, the medicine is easy to release in a large area at one time when receiving electric stimulation, the long-time multiple release of the medicine is difficult to be really and accurately controlled, the medicine-carrying conductive film layer cannot be suitable for a scene needing multiple times of medicine administration, and the controllability of the medicine release is not ideal;
3. when a microneedle body with a drug-carrying conductive thin film layer formed on the surface is prepared, a microneedle is usually prepared, then a metal layer is plated on the surface of the microneedle, and then electrochemical reaction is carried out to form the drug-carrying conductive thin film layer on the surface of the metal layer, so that the preparation method is complex and is not suitable for large-scale preparation;
4. because a plating layer needs to be formed on the surface of the prepared microneedle for many times, the size of the final microneedle is difficult to adjust and control;
5. because medicine carrying conducting film layer forms in the micropin outermost layer, and the secondary skin is the inert metal layer for the micropin needle body is complete stereoplasm, and skin laminating nature is not good enough.

1. the drug-loaded microneedle provided by the application comprises a microneedle substrate, a microneedle body formed on the microneedle substrate, a conductive polymer nano-doped body doped in the microneedle body, and microneedle drugs doped in the conductive polymer nano-doped body, because the micro-needle medicament is doped in the conductive polymer nano-dopant, the conductive polymer nano-dopant doped with the micro-needle medicament is doped in the micro-needle body, namely, the nano-conductive polymer nano-dopant is embedded with the material of the micro-needle body in a melting way, thereby forming a complete micro-needle, but not only existing on the surface of the micro-needle body, and having no problem of plating layer peeling, when the micro-needle body is penetrated into the skin, the nano-conductive polymer nano-dopant doped in the micro-needle body can be completely carried into the skin, therefore, microneedle medicines doped in the conducting polymer nano-doped body are all released into the skin, the waste of the microneedle medicines does not exist, and the administration effect is effectively ensured. Thereby solving the technical problem that the plating layer of the plating layer micro-needle in the prior art is easy to fall off.
2. Because the micro-needle drugs are doped in the conductive polymer nano-dopant, the conductive polymer nano-dopant is doped in the micro-needle body, namely is uniformly embedded in the micro-needle body, when the driving power supply device provides electric energy when the drugs need to be released after the micro-needle body penetrates into the skin, the conductive polymer nano-dopant receives electrical stimulation, the conductive polymer nano-dopant close to the surface of the micro-needle body firstly releases the micro-needle drugs, the conductive polymer nano-dopant close to the middle part of the micro-needle body gradually migrates to the surface of the micro-needle body through the internal structure of the micro-needle body macromolecules after receiving the electrical stimulation to release the micro-needle drugs and then releases the micro-needle drugs, the hierarchical release of the micro-needle drugs is facilitated, the controllability of the micro-needle drugs released by the electrical stimulation is effectively improved, and because the plurality of conductive polymer nano-dopants are doped in the interior of the micro-needle body, the micro And part of the microneedle medicines can be rewrapped by the conductive polymer nano-doped body during the non-electric stimulation, so that the microneedle medicines can be more favorably controlled to be released for multiple times. Therefore, the drug-loaded microneedle provided by the embodiment of the application effectively solves the technical problem that the existing drug-loaded microneedle is difficult to control the release of the drug for a plurality of times for a long time, and is suitable for the situation that the drug needs to be administered for a plurality of times.
3.

Thereby solving the technical problem that the preparation method of the coated microneedle in the prior art is complex and fussy.
4. Because the microneedle medicines are doped in the conductive polymer nano-doping body, and the conductive polymer nano-doping body is doped in the microneedle body and is embedded with the microneedle body in a melting way to form the complete microneedle body together, the size of the finally formed microneedle body can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the microneedle array groove of the microneedle mould, and the size is easier to control and adjust. Thereby solving the technical problem that the plated microneedle is difficult to adjust and control the size of the final microneedle due to the need of forming a metal layer and a conductive film layer in the prior art.
5.

Example 1
The embodiment of the application provides a drug-carrying microneedle 100, the drug-carrying microneedle 100 is applied to an electrically controlled drug release microneedle system 300, and the electrically controlled drug release microneedle system 300 is provided with a driving power supply device 301 for providing electric energy and controlling the electrically controlled drug release microneedle system 300 to release drugs.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a drug-loaded microneedle according to some embodiments. Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an electrically controlled drug-releasing microneedle system according to some embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1 and 4, the drug-loaded microneedle 100 includes a microneedle substrate 10, at least one microneedle body 20, a conductive polymer nano-dopant 30, and a microneedle drug.
The microneedle substrate 10 is mainly used for supporting a plurality of microneedle bodies 20, so that the microneedle bodies 20 are formed on the same surface of the microneedle substrate 10, and after the microneedle bodies 20 penetrate into the skin, the microneedle substrate 10 is usually located on the outer surface of the skin. The microneedle substrate 10 may also serve as a conductive medium for electrically communicating several microneedle bodies 20. The microneedle substrate 10 may be integrally formed with the microneedle body 20, or the microneedle body 20 and the microneedle substrate 10 may be sequentially formed.
At least one microneedle body 20 is formed on the microneedle substrate 10, and the microneedle body 20 may have a needle-like structure having a size of a micrometer scale. The same surface of the microneedle substrate 10 may be formed with a plurality of microneedle bodies 20 to form a microneedle array. The microneedle body 20 can overcome the stratum corneum barrier of the skin at a specific area of the skin and enter the active epidermis to a specific depth.
The conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 is doped in the microneedle body 20, that is, the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 is embedded in the microneedle body 20 or formed in the microneedle body 20, which can also be understood as the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 mixed in the microneedle body 20 to form a complete microneedle body together with the material of the microneedle body 20. The microneedle drug is doped in the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30, that is, the microneedle drug is embedded in the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 or is encapsulated in the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30, which can also be understood as the microneedle drug mixed in the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 and forming the complete conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 together with the conductive polymer material of the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30. Therefore, the conductive polymer nano-doped body 30 doped with the micro-needle drugs and the material of the micro-needle body 20 form the complete micro-needle body 20 together, the problem that the plating layer of the micro-needle body 20 is peeled off does not exist, the conductive polymer nano-doped body doped in the micro-needle body can be completely brought into the skin when the micro-needle body is pierced into the skin, so that the micro-needle drugs doped in the conductive polymer nano-doped body are completely released into the skin, the waste of the micro-needle drugs does not exist, the drug administration effect is effectively ensured, the situation that the conductive polymer is peeled off and remained in the skin does not exist, and the drug. Thereby solving the technical problem that the plating layer of the plating layer micro-needle in the prior art is easy to fall off.
The conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 mainly plays a role in supporting or encapsulating the microneedle drugs and releasing the microneedle drugs when being electrically stimulated. In the working mode, the microneedle body 20 pierces the skin to bring or deliver the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 into the skin, and the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 is configured to release the microneedle drug in response to an electrical stimulus from the driving power supply device 301. The conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 has good response to an electrical signal due to the conductive polymer material, which can be called a conductive polymer material, and the change of the oxidation-reduction state can be driven by using a lower voltage (less than or equal to 1V), that is, the oxidation-reduction state of the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 can be changed by applying external electrical stimulation, so that the change of the polymer charge amount, the doping level, the electrical conductivity and the volume is caused, and the microneedle drug doped in the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 is released, so that the microneedle drug enters the skin and can be absorbed by blood vessels and lymph glands to be introduced into the body circulation system. Because the micro-needle drugs are doped in the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30, and the conductive polymer nano-dopant 30 is doped in the micro-needle body 20, that is, is uniformly embedded in the micro-needle body 20, when the driving power supply device 301 supplies electric energy when the drugs need to be released after the micro-needle body 20 is pierced into the skin, the conductive polymer nano-dopant receives electrical stimulation, the conductive polymer nano-dopant close to the surface of the micro-needle body firstly releases the micro-needle drugs, the conductive polymer nano-dopant close to the middle of the micro-needle body gradually migrates to the surface of the micro-needle body through the inner structure of the micro-needle body macromolecules after receiving the electrical stimulation to release the micro-needle drugs, thereby facilitating the hierarchical release of the micro-needle drugs, effectively improving the drug release controllability, and because a plurality of conductive polymer nano-dopants 30 are doped in the micro-needle body 20, the drugs released by the electrical stimulation are not the same as the plated micro-needle In the body fluid, the micro-needle medicine gradually enters the skin body fluid from the micro-needle body, and part of the micro-needle medicine can be rewrapped by the conductive polymer nano-doped body when no electric stimulation is carried out, so that the micro-needle medicine is more favorably controlled to be released for many times. Therefore, the drug-loaded microneedle provided by the embodiment of the application effectively solves the technical problem that the existing drug-loaded microneedle is difficult to control the release of the drug for a plurality of times for a long time, is adaptable to a scene needing multiple drug administration, and is adaptable to the requirement that certain diseases repeatedly attack and need pulse type drug administration.

From the above, the drug-loaded microneedle provided by the embodiment of the application has the following advantages:
1. by arranging the microneedle substrate, the microneedle body formed on the microneedle substrate, the conducting polymer nano-doped body doped in the microneedle body and the microneedle medicament doped in the conducting polymer nano-doped body, because the microneedle medicament is doped in the conducting polymer nano-doped body, the conducting polymer nano-doped body doped with the microneedle medicament is doped in the microneedle body and is melted and embedded with the material of the microneedle body, a complete microneedle is formed, but the microneedle medicament is not only present on the surface of the microneedle body, and the problem of coating peeling does not exist, the microneedle body is punctured into the skin, so that the conducting polymer nano-doped body doped in the microneedle can be completely brought into the skin, the microneedle medicament doped in the conducting polymer nano-doped body is completely released into the skin, the waste of the microneedle medicament does not exist, and the administration effect is effectively ensured. Thereby solving the technical problem that the plating layer of the plating layer micro-needle in the prior art is easy to fall off.
2. Because the micro-needle drugs are doped in the conductive polymer nano-doping bodies, the conductive polymer nano-doping bodies are doped in the micro-needle bodies, namely are uniformly embedded in the micro-needle bodies, when the driving power supply device supplies electric energy when the drugs need to be released along with the penetration of the micro-needle bodies into the skin, a plurality of conductive polymer nano-doping bodies receive electrical stimulation, the conductive polymer nano-doping bodies close to the surfaces of the micro-needle bodies firstly release the micro-needle drugs, the conductive polymer nano-doping bodies close to the middle parts of the micro-needle bodies receive the electrical stimulation to release the micro-needle drugs and then gradually migrate to the surfaces of the micro-needle bodies through the macromolecular internal structures of the micro-needle bodies to release the drugs, the hierarchical release of the micro-needle drugs is facilitated, the drugs released by the electrical stimulation on the micro-needle bodies are not the same as the plated micro-needles and are rapidly released in a large amount in the body, but gradually enters skin body fluid from the microneedle body, and part of microneedle drugs can be rewrapped by the conductive polymer nano-doped body during the non-electrical stimulation, thereby being more beneficial to controlling the repeated release of the microneedle drugs. Therefore, the drug-loaded microneedle provided by the embodiment of the application effectively solves the technical problem that the existing drug-loaded microneedle is difficult to control the release of the drug for a plurality of times for a long time, and is suitable for the situation that the drug needs to be administered for a plurality of times.
3. The conductive polymer nano-doped body doped with the microneedle drugs and the microneedle needle body material can be directly mixed and injected into a microneedle mould for forming or directly polymerized in situ in the macromolecular gel microneedle needle body to form the conductive polymer nano-doped body doped with the microneedle drugs, and the preparation method is simple and is easy for large-scale preparation. Thereby solving the technical problem that the preparation method of the coated microneedle in the prior art is complex and fussy.
4. Because the microneedle medicines are doped in the conductive polymer nano-doping body, and the conductive polymer nano-doping body is doped in the microneedle body and is embedded with the microneedle body in a melting way to form the complete microneedle body together, the size of the finally formed microneedle body can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the microneedle array groove of the microneedle mould, and the size is easier to control and adjust. Thereby solving the technical problem that the plated microneedle is difficult to adjust and control the size of the final microneedle due to the need of forming a metal layer and a conductive film layer in the prior art.
5. Because the microneedle medicines are doped in the conductive polymer nano-doped body, the conductive polymer nano-doped body is doped in the microneedle body, and the material of the microneedle body is selected from biocompatible materials, the microneedle body has good biocompatibility, and is favorable for being pierced into the skin to deliver the drugs to the skin. Meanwhile, the microneedle body does not need to be provided with an inert metal layer, a drug-loaded conductive thin film layer and other coating layers, and the high polymer material directly adopted by the microneedle body can absorb the body fluid swelling, so that the hardness is reduced, and the microneedle can be better attached to the surface of the skin. Effectively solves the technical problems of high hardness and poor attachment of the plated microneedle in the prior art.
Therefore, the drug-loaded microneedle provided by the embodiment of the application solves a plurality of technical problems of easy shedding of a coating, unsatisfactory drug release controllability, complex preparation, difficult control of microneedle size, poor skin adhesiveness and the like of a coating microneedle in the prior art, and has a good market application prospect.
