A kind of chitosan microball of size homogeneous and micro-capsule and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations of pharmaceutical engineering
Background technology
The polysaccharide that shitosan is made up of aminoglucose and N-acetyl glucosamine copolymer is the product of chitin deacetylase base, and shitosan can be dissolved in dilute acid soln owing to have free amine group on the strand, therefore has purposes more widely than chitin.Shitosan is as a kind of cationic biopolymer, have bioadhesive, biocompatibility and biological degradability, and its catabolite is nontoxic, non-immunogenicity, non-carcinogenesis, and these uniquenesses of shitosan make it become the biological medicine carrier that has a extensive future
[1] [2] [3]
Shitosan mainly is to use with the form of microballoon or micro-capsule as the biological medicine carrier, can be used as the immobilization of the separating medium and the enzyme of protein as chitosan microball, owing to not only have hydroxyl but also have amino on the chitosan microball, can under the condition of gentleness, connect aglucon, be used as immobilization, immunity absorption and the Separation of Proteins medium of enzyme
[4]In addition by in chitosan solution, adding the chitosan microball that pore-foaming agent can be prepared macropore, this microballoon can be used as the carrier that cell is cultivated, nutrient and metabolite thereof can be by interconnective macropore input and output, this macroporous microsphere has two big major advantages as cell culture vector, can make cell avoid the influence of the shearing force of bioreactor in cell cultivation process, can improve the density that cell is cultivated on the other hand exactly greatly
[5]Chitosan microball mainly is because shitosan is a kind of cationic substance as genophore, its positive charge can form the compound microballoon with the negative electrical charge generation electrostatic interaction of DNA, can insert aglucon such as iron transfer protein, galactolipin etc. simultaneously and make it have better target on microballoon
[6]People such as Hai-Quan Mao adopt shitosan-DNA complex coacervation to prepare millimicro ball studies show that as genophore; shitosan can protect DNA to avoid the degraded of nuclease; the surface PEG (polyethylene glycol) of shitosan-DNA millimicro ball is changed; can improve the physical stability and the storage stability of microballoon; its freeze-drying prods good dispersion, adhesion, nor the transfection ability of reduction microballoon
[7]Chitosan microball or micro-capsule mainly concentrate on as slow releasing carrier of medication in the application of field of medicaments in recent years, and this mainly is based on chitosan microball or micro-capsule and has the toxic and side effect that strengthens drug absorption, sustained release performance, adhesiveness, immunostimulatory activity, anticoagulant property, antibiotic property, reduction medicine, prolongs advantages such as curative effect
[8]As as the consolidant of wound, it not only have sterilization and bacteriostasis, can accelerating wound healing, can also in gel, directly reach result of treatment efficiently by embedding medicinal at the wound slow releasing pharmaceutical
[8]Because shitosan has bioadhesive, put medicine by prolonging contained medicine at the gentle slow release of RT of affected part, can improve medicine bioavilability in vivo greatly, therefore become the ideal carrier of mucoadhesive delivery system
[9]Chitosan microball or micro-capsule can protected protein matter in addition, medicines such as polypeptide, nucleic acid exempt from digestive system and destroy, and make medicine can arrive the colon place smoothly and discharge medicine at this, reach optimum curative effect; Chitosan microball has many advantages as the vaccine slow-released carrier, and the firstth, shitosan dissolves in the aqueous acetic acid, has avoided with an organic solvent, and this provides advantageous conditions for the high activity that keeps antigen and protein; The secondth, because shitosan is a kind of cationic polyelectrolyte, it and electronegative cell surface have strong electrostatic interaction, vaccine or medicine are adsorbed on the epithelial membrane, improve medicine greatly cell and structural keeping, delay the release of medicine, compare with conventional medicament and can reduce medicine frequency
[10]The 3rd be shitosan as the carrier material of vaccine microballoon except possess improve penetrate with imbedibility and protection vaccine and slow releasing function; also has immunostimulatory activity; as increase the accumulation and the activity of macrophage and polymorphonuclear cell; improve opposing infected by microbes ability; the plain secretion of inducing cell improves cytotoxic T---lymphocytic immune response
[11], reduce medicine frequency simultaneously, overcome repeatedly in vivo the shortcoming that blood concentration fluctuation is big, side effect is big after the medication of traditional vaccine.Therefore shitosan is a kind of pharmaceutical grade protein carrier that has a extensive future.
Yet the preparation method of chitosan microball or micro-capsule is very limited at present, mainly adopts emulsion-crosslinking method, spray drying process and complex coacervation
[12] [13]And these preparation methods adopt mechanical mixing method mostly, adopt this method in preparation emulsion process, because particle diameter heterogeneity, little emulsion droplet can be absorbed by big emulsion droplet, big emulsion droplet can destroy because of the effect of shearing force again simultaneously, and this can cause very heterogeneity of prepared chitosan microball or microcapsule diameter.And because the particle diameter heterogeneity of emulsion droplet, by big drop absorption, big drop is sheared into droplet again to droplet easily, thereby can form a lot of cross-linked cohesion things easily in cross-linking process.Simultaneously, in the merging and rupture process of drop, interior bag medicine escapes into the drop outside easily, causes the embedding rate of medicine to reduce.Even after microballoon forms,, in the washing of product and dry run, also form condensation product easily because minimicrosphere is easily by big microballoon absorption.The heterogeneity of microballoon and micro-capsule also can be brought many difficulties for the practical application of chitosan microball or micro-capsule.For example, as the immobilization and the Separation of Proteins medium of enzyme, because the particle diameter heterogeneity, little microballoon can gather in pillar in the space between the big microballoon, makes separating pressure increase, and can cause when serious separating and can't carry out; As cell culture vector, the particle diameter heterogeneity can cause the inhomogeneous of nutrient and cell density, thereby causes the inhomogeneous of cell growth; As slow releasing carrier of medication,, because microballoon or microcapsule diameter heterogeneity make the target of medicine poor in being administered systemically, cause medicine bioavilability in vivo to reduce greatly in addition because the emulsion instability can cause the embedding rate of medicine to reduce greatly.Therefore be necessary to study novel preparation method, prepare uniform particle diameter chitosan microball or micro-capsule, so as to overcome the not enough of traditional preparation process method and the application that brings thus on defective.
Summary of the invention
