Description

Rapid separation microneedle patch and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of microneedle drug delivery, in particular to a rapid separation microneedle patch and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of micro-fabrication technology and biomedical technology, microneedle drug delivery systems have come into play and are receiving wide attention. The micro-needle is a novel physical penetration promoting technology and is formed by connecting a plurality of micron-sized fine needle points on a base in an array mode. The length of the micro-needle is 25-1000 μm, and the size and the shape can be individually designed according to the treatment requirement. As a novel transdermal administration mode, the microneedle administration integrates the advantages of a subcutaneous injection administration mode and a transdermal patch administration mode, and has the advantages of no pain, minimal invasion and high drug absorption efficiency. In addition, when the micro-needle is used for drug administration, the patient can self-administer the drug, the operation is convenient and safe, and the compliance of the patient is good. The micro-needle transdermal delivery has wide application, can be used for transdermal delivery of small molecules, biological preparations, vaccines, intracellular DNA/RNA and other medicaments, and covers a plurality of disease fields such as pain, infection, diabetes, skin diseases and the like. The micro-needle has the advantages that other administration modes cannot be replaced by the aid of various body structures and administration characteristics, and clinical application and market development space of the micro-needle are huge. For example, ALZA company carries out clinical research on thyroxine hollow microneedles, and the result shows that the pharmacokinetic curve of microneedle administration is similar to that of subcutaneous injection, and the thyroxine hollow microneedles are expected to be a substitute of injection formulations. Zosano developed a new type of zolmitriptan coated microneedle for the treatment of migraine, which is now approved by FDA for marketing, a pioneer product for microneedle transdermal delivery systems. The polymer micro-needle has the advantages of good biocompatibility, high safety, accurate drug loading, flexible and controllable drug release, low preparation cost and the like, and is the micro-needle which is the most extensive in research and has the greatest application prospect at present.
The polymer microneedle can be structurally divided into two parts, a base and a needle body. In the process of living body application of the polymer microneedle, a professional is often required to press the microneedle patch, so that the microneedle body part is fully contacted with subcutaneous tissue fluid to be dissolved and degraded, and active ingredients in the microneedle body part are released, thereby realizing efficient drug delivery. The application time of the patch is directly influenced by the dissolution performance of the material of the needle body part, and the dissolution time of the water-soluble material in a small amount of subcutaneous tissue fluid is 15 minutes or more. Sustained compression for 15 minutes reduces the ease of use of the microneedles and also results in reduced patient compliance. In addition, some transdermal drug delivery microneedle patches require sustained release for one week or even one month, making polymeric microneedles impractical.
In response to the above problems, Mark r.praussnitz, georgia, has invented a method of forming a bubble between the base of a microneedle and the needle body so that the needle body can be rapidly broken into the subcutaneous tissue during the application process of the microneedle, as described in patent application CN 111465387A. The method has high requirements on the manufacturing process, and the needle breakage is easy to occur in the preparation process, so that the process is unstable. The utility model CN204352374U indicates that the base and the needle body are separated by adding a binder, i.e. a soluble binding substance of starch or protein, between the base and the needle body. The method is time consuming, and the design has insufficient contact with subcutaneous tissue fluid and is less feasible. The invention patent application CN107875115A points out a preparation method of a sectional separable microneedle patch, namely a layer of high-molecular hydrogel with strong water solubility is constructed between a base and a needle body, the method needs long pressing time, and the microneedle application method which is convenient and quick in the true sense is difficult to realize.
In general, the separable microneedle patches reported at present generally have the disadvantages of too long application time, slow microneedle separation speed, high process requirements and the like.

The following technical scheme is adopted in the application:
one aspect of the application discloses a quick-separation microneedle patch, which comprises a base and microneedle bodies, wherein microneedle body arrays are uniformly distributed on the base; the micro needle body comprises a needle point and a middle section, wherein the needle point contains a medicament or other substances needing slow release, the middle section is used for connecting the needle point and the base, and the middle section is easy to break or dissolve when in use, so that the needle point and the base are separated; the intermediate section is composed of a water-soluble polymer and a photothermal material, and the photothermal material is dispersed in the water-soluble polymer.
The rapid separation microneedle patch refers to a patch which can rapidly separate a needle tip part of a microneedle body from a base when in use; generally, after the microneedle patch is applied to the skin, the separation of all needle tips or at least 95% or more of the needle tips from the base can be achieved within 5 minutes, even within 3 minutes, which is considered to be a quick-release microneedle patch.
In the rapid release microneedle patch of the present application, the intermediate section is made of a water-soluble polymer, and a photothermal material is added thereto to facilitate rapid release of the needle tip and the base by light irradiation. The water-soluble polymer in the middle section of the application can be dissolved, so that the needle tip is separated from the base; and the photo-thermal material is added, so that the photo-thermal material generates heat under the illumination condition, the dissolution of the water-soluble polymer is further promoted by utilizing heat energy, the dissolution speed of the water-soluble polymer is improved, and the rapid separation of the needle point and the base is realized. In an implementation mode of the application, effective separation of the needle points can be realized only in 1-3min, so that the use convenience is greatly improved, the application time is shortened, the convenient and quick microneedle patch application is realized, and the compliance of a patient is improved. In addition, the preparation method of the separable microneedle patch is simple, only the photothermal material is added into the water-soluble polymer in the middle section, and the rest steps can refer to the existing microneedle preparation method.
It can be understood that the key point of the application is that the photothermal material is added into the water-soluble polymer of the middle section, and the photothermal material is utilized to dissolve the middle section, so that the needle tip is rapidly separated; as to the specific material, specific drug or pharmaceutical composition of the needle tip, reference is made to the prior art; likewise, reference is made to the prior art for the specific composition of the base. In addition, the water-soluble polymer and the photothermal material of the present application may be the existing biocompatible materials, as long as there is no toxic or side effect or damage to the skin and human body, and in principle, the water-soluble polymer and the photothermal material as the intermediate section also cannot have adverse effects on the drug of the needle tip; both of the water-soluble polymer and the photothermal material capable of satisfying the above conditions may be used in the present application, and are not particularly limited herein.

Detailed Description
In order to enable the drug in the microneedle to better play a sustained release role, a microneedle structure which can enable the needle point of the microneedle to be broken and left in a body is designed in the prior art; for example, microneedles are designed to be constructed of a base, an intermediate section, and a needle tip, wherein, in use, the intermediate section dissolves or breaks, leaving the drug-containing needle tip in the body. However, the conventional microneedles having similar structures generally have a problem of low microneedle separation speed. Patent application CN111465387A mentions that the middle section is designed into a bubble structure, which has a good separation effect and a good separation rate; however, the bubble structure has high process requirements on one hand, and on the other hand, the needle is easily broken in the preparation process, so that the process is unstable, and the product consistency is poor.
Based on the research and the recognition, the middle section is creatively prepared from the water-soluble polymer, the photo-thermal material is added into the middle section, and the photo-thermal material is used for promoting the dissolution of the water-soluble polymer, so that the needle tip separation speed is greatly improved; and because a bubble structure is not required to be designed in the middle section, the stability of the water-soluble polymer is better, and the problem of needle breakage in the preparation process can be avoided.
The present application is described in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the attached drawings. The following examples are intended to be illustrative of the present application only and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
