Background
In 2016, the Nobel prize was awarded a second time to three researchers Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart, and Bernard L. Ferraga who contributed well in the field of supramolecular chemistry. Supramolecular chemistry is the chemistry of molecular aggregates formed based on non-covalent interactions between molecules, which are bound together by supramolecular interactions and can form new chemical entities with better physicochemical properties. Currently, supramolecular chemistry has been applied to the fields of layered supramolecular assemblies, biological and biomimetic microsystems, and the like. In the field of pharmacy, supramolecular chemistry is widely applied to the development of drug crystal forms. The supermolecule chemical technology means can combine the active components of the medicine with other molecules to generate supermolecule compounds, such as medicine salts and medicine eutectics. The idea that the poor physical properties and the undesirable treatment effects of the active ingredients of the drugs can be effectively improved through the modification of the supramolecular structure is gradually a hot spot of attention in the pharmaceutical field.
Minoxidil is an antihypertensive drug collected by Chinese pharmacopoeia and used as a potassium ion channel opener, and can promote local blood circulation and stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of hair follicle cells, so that minoxidil is widely applied to clinic as a first-line drug for treating alopecia. Gallic acid is the earliest organic acid produced in the world and is also one of the active ingredients of Chinese gall. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, gallnut monosodium glutamate can treat heat sores of head sores, so that gallic acid serving as an active ingredient can be used for treating skin diseases and has antibacterial and antiviral effects. The gallic acid structure contains three adjacent phenolic hydroxyl groups, and intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds with different structure types can be formed, so that more possibilities are provided for the gallic acid to form supramolecular compounds with other molecules. The existing minoxidil product has the defects of poor curative effect, strong side effect and the like. The supermolecule chemistry is taken as theoretical guidance, the minoxidil and the gallic acid are self-assembled to prepare the minoxidil crystal form drug, and a foundation is provided for developing a novel minoxidil external preparation.
