Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a skin filler and a preparation method thereof.

Background

The soft tissues of the human body maintain their structures through proteins such as collagen and elastin and an extracellular matrix including mucopolysaccharides. When soft tissue loss occurs due to congenital causes, external impact, disease, or the like, a dermal filler containing a component similar to dermal tissue may be injected into a specific site by injection to restore the soft tissue or correct its morphology.

The currently commonly used dermal fillers mainly take artificially synthesized microspheres such as hydroxyapatite microspheres, poly-L-lactic acid microspheres, polymethyl methacrylate microspheres and the like as main components, and the dermal fillers have long service life and good stability. However, studies have shown that such dermal fillers are poorly biocompatible and tend to form granulomas.

Detailed Description

The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter for purposes of facilitating an understanding thereof, and may be embodied in many different forms and are not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a dermal filler comprising crosslinked collagen and microspheres. Wherein the collagen is extracted from human placenta, and the microsphere is at least one selected from polymethyl methacrylate microsphere, polycaprolactone microsphere, poly-L-lactic acid microsphere, polyglycolic acid microsphere and hydroxyapatite microsphere.

The collagen is extracted from human placenta. The human placenta (placenta) is an important organ for material exchange between a fetus and a mother body, including an amniotic membrane, a phylliform chorion and a decidua basalis, and is an intermaternal-fetal tissue-associated organ formed by the united growth of an embryonic germ membrane and a mother body endometrium during pregnancy of a human. The fetus develops in the uterus and relies on the placenta to obtain nutrition from the mother, while the two parties remain fairly independent. The placenta also synthesizes various hormones, enzymes, cytokines, etc. to maintain normal pregnancy. The dermal filler has lower immunogenicity than conventional dermal fillers containing collagen extracted from animals such as pig and cattle as a main ingredient; the collagen extracted from the human placenta also contains bioactive factors, and the bioactive factors can block or reduce inflammatory reaction through various ways, play an anti-inflammatory role, reduce postoperative infection, protect wound surfaces and reduce or eliminate wound surface pain.

In an alternative specific example, the collagen is extracted from the amniotic membrane of a human placenta.

In an alternative specific example, the collagen is extracted from the phyllo-chorion of a human placenta.

In an alternative specific example, the collagen is extracted from an amniotic membrane of a human placenta and a foliated chorion of the human placenta.

In the embodiment, the collagen is crosslinked collagen, and compared with the traditional dermal filler which directly uses the collagen as a main component, the crosslinked collagen is less easily degraded by collagenase in vivo, has longer service life and better stability. In an alternative embodiment, the collagen is cross-linked with a cross-linking agent. The selection of the crosslinking agent is not particularly limited, and for example, the crosslinking agent may be at least one selected from the group consisting of epoxy compounds, 1-ethyl-3- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) -carbodiimide, N-hydroxysuccinimide, tannic acid, and genipin.

In an alternative embodiment, the crosslinked collagen is present in an amount of 1 to 15 parts by weight. Specifically, the crosslinked collagen is 1 part, 3 parts, 5 parts, 8 parts, 12 parts or 15 parts by mass. Further, the mass portion of the crosslinked collagen is 2 to 8.

The microspheres act as a component of the filler, serving a filling function. When the skin filler is used, the microspheres are dispersed in the crosslinked collagen solution, the area of direct contact between the microspheres and tissues is reduced, the biocompatibility of the microspheres is improved, the microspheres are bound in the crosslinked collagen solution, the microspheres are not easy to separate out, and granuloma is not easy to form in the use process of the skin filler. The material of the microspheres is not particularly limited as long as it is suitable for in vivo use, and may be, for example, medical microspheres.

In an alternative specific example, the microspheres are selected from at least one of polymethylmethacrylate microspheres, polycaprolactone microspheres, poly-L lactic acid microspheres, polyglycolic acid microspheres, and hydroxyapatite microspheres. Further, the microsphere is selected from at least one of polymethyl methacrylate microsphere, polyglycolic acid microsphere and hydroxyapatite microsphere.

In an alternative specific example, the microspheres are solid microspheres. Of course, in other embodiments, the microspheres are not limited to solid microspheres, but may also be hollow microspheres or porous microspheres.

In an alternative specific example, the microspheres are powders. Specifically, the particle size of the microspheres is 1-300 μm. Furthermore, the particle size of the microsphere is 10-250 μm. Furthermore, the particle size of the microsphere is 20-80 μm.

In an alternative specific example, the mass part of the microspheres is 20 to 80 parts. Specifically, the mass part of the microspheres is 20 parts, 25 parts, 30 parts, 32 parts, 36 parts, 40 parts, 45 parts, 52 parts, 56 parts, 60 parts, 74 parts or 80 parts. Further, the mass portion of the microspheres is 45-60.

In an alternative specific example, in the dermal filler, the crosslinked collagen is 1 to 15 parts by mass, and the microspheres are 20 to 80 parts by mass. Furthermore, in the dermal filler, the mass portion of the crosslinked collagen is 2 to 8 parts, and the mass portion of the microsphere is 45 to 60 parts. The crosslinked collagen and the microspheres are arranged according to the mass parts, so that the biocompatibility and the stability of the injectable composition can be considered.

In an alternative specific example, in the dermal filler, the ratio of the mass of the crosslinked collagen to the mass of the microspheres is 1: 20 to 80 parts. The cross-linked collagen and the microspheres are arranged according to the proportion, so that the dermal filler has good biocompatibility and stability. Further, in the dermal filler, the mass ratio of the crosslinked collagen to the microspheres is 1: 45-60.

In some embodiments, the dermal filler further comprises an additive. The additive is used for enriching the function of the skin filler. Specifically, the additive is selected from at least one of an antibacterial agent, an anesthetic agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, and an antioxidant.

The antibacterial agent is used for improving the antibacterial effect of the dermal filler, so that the dermal filler has better antibacterial effect in the using, storing and transporting processes. In an alternative specific example, the antimicrobial agent is an antibiotic. Specifically, the antibacterial agent is selected from at least one of gentamicin and cephalosporin. Of course, in other embodiments, the antimicrobial agent is not limited to the above, but may be other substances commonly used in the art for antimicrobial purposes.

Anesthetic is used for making the body or local body temporarily reversibly lose consciousness and pain sense. In an alternative specific example, the anesthetic is a local anesthetic. Specifically, the anesthetic is one of tetracaine and lidocaine. Of course, in other embodiments, the anesthetic is not limited to the above, but may be other substances used for anesthesia.

Anti-inflammatory agents are used to reduce the inflammatory response of the body. In an alternative specific example, the anti-inflammatory agent is selected from at least one of nepafenac and diclofenac. Of course, in other embodiments, the anti-inflammatory agent is not limited to the above, and other substances having an anti-inflammatory effect may be used.

Antioxidants are used for improved oxidation resistance. In an alternative specific example, the antioxidant is selected from at least one of vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside (AA2G), sodium ascorbyl phosphate (AA 2P). Of course, in other embodiments, the antioxidant is not limited to the above, and other substances having antioxidant effects may be used.

In an alternative specific example, the mass part of the additive in the dermal filler is 0.1 to 2.0 parts. Further, the mass portion of the additive in the dermal filler is 0.1 to 1.5.

Specifically, the antibacterial agent is 0-0.5 part by weight, the anesthetic is 0.1-0.5 part by weight, the anti-inflammatory agent is 0-1 part by weight, and the antioxidant is 0-2 parts by weight. Furthermore, the weight portion of the antibacterial agent is 0.1 to 0.2, the weight portion of the anesthetic is 0.1 to 0.2, the weight portion of the anti-inflammatory agent is 0.1 to 0.5, and the weight portion of the antioxidant is 0.5 to 1.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the type of additive is not limited to the above, and other additives may be used. Of course, in some embodiments, the dermal filler further comprises physiological saline.

The dermal filler comprises crosslinked collagen and microsphere, wherein the collagen is extracted from human placenta, and the microsphere is at least one selected from polymethyl methacrylate microsphere, polycaprolactone microsphere, poly-L-lactic acid microsphere, polyglycolic acid microsphere and hydroxyapatite microsphere. The crosslinked collagen extracted from the human placenta is matched with the microspheres, so that the microspheres in the dermal filler are suspended in the crosslinked collagen solution, the contact area between the microspheres and tissues is reduced, and the microspheres are bound by the crosslinked collagen and are not easy to separate out, so that the dermal filler has good stability and good biocompatibility. In addition, the use of human placenta as a raw material for crosslinked collagen makes the dermal filler less immunogenic when injected into a human body, as compared to conventional dermal fillers containing collagen as a main ingredient, which is extracted from tissues of animals such as pigs and cows.

An embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for preparing a dermal filler, including steps a to c:

step a: extracting collagen from human placenta.

Specifically, the method for extracting collagen from human placenta is at least one of acid method, alkaline method, salt method and enzyme method.

In this embodiment, the method for extracting collagen from human placenta comprises the steps of:

homogenizing human placenta in acetic acid, digesting with pepsin, centrifuging, and removing supernatant to remove part of protein; then washing with acetone to remove lipids to obtain a crude product; then, the crude product was dialyzed against disodium EDTA to obtain collagen.

Specifically, the specific part of the human placenta to be used is at least one of amnion and phyllodes chorion. It will be appreciated that the whole human placenta may also be used directly as a raw material for extracting collagen. Of course, a step of pre-treating the placenta before homogenizing the human placenta is also included.

In an alternative specific example, the step of pre-treating the placenta comprises: human placenta is washed with water to remove blood clots and debris. For short-term storage, the amniotic membrane and chorion may be placed in an antibiotic solution and stored at-20 ℃.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the enzyme of human placenta after digestion of homogenate is not limited to pepsin, but may be trypsin or a complex enzyme of pepsin and trypsin. The lipid-removing agent is not limited to acetone, but may be other lipid-removing agents commonly used in the art.

Further, the step of digesting the human placenta by enzymolysis is repeated for a plurality of times, namely, the steps of centrifuging the digested human placenta and discarding the supernatant are repeated for a plurality of times, and then pepsin is added for secondary digestion and centrifugation, and the supernatant is discarded. Repeated digestion is to reduce the impurities in the extracted collagen, including cells, foreign proteins, fat, polysaccharide and other substances causing immune reaction, and further reduce the immunogenicity.

The dialysis treatment of the crude product with disodium EDTA facilitates in situ polymerization of the dermal filler after implantation, and thus, the stability of the dermal filler. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the step of subjecting the crude product to dialysis treatment with disodium EDTA may be omitted.

In an alternative embodiment, the method for extracting collagen from human placenta comprises the steps of:

the treated tissue was homogenized in 0.5M acetic acid, pH adjusted to 2.5 with HCl, and digested with pepsin. The digested placenta is then centrifuged, the supernatant discarded and the pellet washed with acetone to remove lipids. Then weighing the precipitate, adding pepsin into the precipitate, homogenizing, and reacting at 4-8 ℃ for 12-24 hours to obtain a mixture; and then centrifuging the mixture and removing the supernatant, weighing the precipitate, repeating the steps of adding the pepsin into the precipitate again, homogenizing, digesting for a certain time, centrifuging and removing the supernatant to obtain the precipitate, thus obtaining the precipitate. Dissolving the precipitate in 0.5M acetic acid, centrifuging, removing the precipitate, adding 2M-5M NaCl solution into supernatant, standing at 4-8 ℃ overnight, centrifuging again, removing the supernatant, dissolving the precipitate in 0.5M acetic acid, centrifuging, and dialyzing with EDTA disodium; and centrifuging again after dialysis is finished, and discarding supernatant to obtain the collagen.

Step b: crosslinking the collagen with a crosslinking agent to produce a crosslinked collagen.

Specifically, a crosslinking agent is mixed with collagen to crosslink the collagen. The crosslinking agent used to crosslink the collagen is as described above and will not be described in detail herein.

Step c: the crosslinked collagen is mixed with the microspheres to prepare the dermal filler.

Specifically, the crosslinked collagen and the microspheres are mixed by stirring.

In an alternative embodiment, the dermal filler is prepared by mixing crosslinked collagen with microspheres and water. Of course, in other embodiments, water and the amount of water added may be determined according to the formulation of the dermal filler to be prepared. Further, the dermal filler also includes an excipient. The dermal filler is brought into the desired dosage form by excipients.

In an alternative embodiment, the dermal filler further comprises an additive, and in this case, the crosslinked collagen, the microspheres, and the additive are mixed to prepare the dermal filler. Further, the crosslinked collagen is mixed with additives and then mixed with the microspheres to obtain the dermal filler.

It should be noted that the type of the microspheres, the amount of the crosslinked collagen, the type of the additives, and the amount of the additives in step c are all as described above, and are not repeated herein.

The preparation method of the skin filler is simple and convenient, and the prepared skin filler has the advantages of good biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and good stability.
