Fibroblast growth factor hydrogel and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biomedical materials, and particularly relates to a fibroblast growth factor hydrogel and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the continuous improvement of the economic level of modern society, the rapid development of high-speed traffic networks, and the active expansion of industries such as the construction industry, acute Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has gradually become an important problem threatening human health in the fields of clinical first aid and critical medicine. In developed countries dominated by europe and the united states, approximately 260 million people per year are covered in the shadow of acute traumatic brain injury, and in these patients, over 40% remain permanently disabled. As one of the main diseases accompanied by multiple injuries, the incidence rate of acute traumatic brain injury in China is increased sharply in recent years, and the mortality rate is between 2.7 and 21.8 percent. The high fatality rate and disability rate of the traditional Chinese medicine become main medical problems in the medical field and even the whole society.
At present, the clinical commonly used treatment means are acute-phase operation and convalescent-phase neurotrophic medicaments, the operation only takes life saving as the first aim, and the effects of the commonly used medicaments such as brain protein extract, oxiracetam and the like are not exact. For the key factors influencing prognosis and quality of life, such as recovery of nerve function, protection of blood brain barrier and improvement aiming at myelination of neurons, higher limitation exists, and no specific medicine exists clinically up to now. Therefore, the search for a candidate drug for improving nerve function and promoting nerve repair in the acute phase after acute traumatic brain injury has been a hot and key problem for the research and development of new drugs in the field for a long time. Growth factor-type drugs have long been considered to have good potential in treating nerve injury and promoting recovery of nerve function. A plurality of Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) products, such as Beifuji, Beifuxin and Chuangbi, which are independently developed by research teams of the applicant are applied to clinic, and proved for more than twenty years, the products show good safety and effectiveness, but are mainly used for wound repair, such as the fields of skin, corneal ulcer, refractory chronic wounds and the like. In the field of nerve injury and repair, Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and a signal path mediated by the bFGF are found to play an important role in the processes of nerve function recovery, blood brain barrier repair and the like after acute central nerve trauma according to the previous research results. However, because the protein activity is unstable, the degradation and inactivation are easy, the half-life period is short, and the like, the clinical application is limited, so that the development of a gel preparation for open nerve injury is hoped, the activity and stability of the drug protein are protected, the drug action time is prolonged, the gel preparation is better suitable for a defective focus, and the drug can play a role in promoting nerve repair at an injury part in the early stage of injury.
Chinese patent application CN113069533A discloses a long-acting fibroblast growth factor gel, which belongs to the field of fibroblast growth factors and solves the problem of poor effect of intramuscular injection of bFGF related drugs in the prior art, and the technical scheme for solving the problem is mainly that the long-acting fibroblast growth factor gel is formed by mixing polyethylene glycol diacrylate and rhbFGF stock solution with the purity of more than 99 percent, the concentration of the long-acting fibroblast growth factor gel is 500000 IU/mL-550000 IU/mL, and the viscosity of the long-acting fibroblast growth factor gel is 45-55 Pa.s. The application is mainly used for directly acting the long-acting fibroblast growth factor gel on the optic nerve fibers, and has the advantages of slow absorption, good biocompatibility, realization of slow release of the medicine and better treatment effect.
Chinese patent application CN108721136A discloses a repair gel and a preparation method and application thereof, relating to the technical field of skin care products, wherein the skin care gel comprises basic fibroblast growth factor bFGF and precursor sol; the mass ratio of the basic fibroblast growth factor bFGF to the precursor sol is 1-2: 1000000. the bFGF can keep better stability in the precursor sol, still has better activity after being stored for half a year at the normal temperature through detection, and effectively solves the problem that the existing skin care product containing the bFGF component is not well stored at the normal temperature. Meanwhile, the components in the precursor sol and the bFGF are matched for use, so that the original effects can be exerted respectively, the components can play a synergistic effect, the curative effect is further enhanced, and the skin care product is obviously better than the existing skin care products in relieving symptoms such as dry skin, aging, dark yellow skin, color spots, acnes, allergy and the like.
Although the prior art has disclosed bFGF gels, it would be desirable to be able to find a suitable carrier: the price is low and the raw materials are easy to obtain; has excellent biocompatibility; can be degraded by itself; can slowly and stably release bFGF, and prolongs the action time of bFGF.

As can be seen from the above, when stored at both room temperature (25 ℃ C.) and 4 ℃ C, bFGF activity decreases in order with the storage time; the low temperature is beneficial to maintaining the bFGF activity, the loss of the bFGF activity is relatively quick when the bFGF is stored at the normal temperature, but the bFGF activity loss can be obviously reduced in the embodiment of the invention, and particularly, the formula in the embodiment 1 has the highest stability. In contrast, comparative example 1, which lacks S-adenosylmethionine, showed the most significant decrease in activity, which indicates that S-adenosylmethionine, carbomer and hyaluronic acid in a specific ratio is helpful for improving the long-term storage stability of fibroblast growth factor hydrogel.
Example 5: evaluation test of Release efficiency
The prepared gel films are respectively taken to be 2cm multiplied by 2cm and placed in PBS buffer solution with the pH value of 4ml and 7.4, and the gel films are completely immersed in the PBS solution. The temperature of PBS was controlled, respectively, the concentration of fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the PBS buffer solution was measured after 1 hour of immersion and the amount of fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) released from the gel film was estimated. The amount of released fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) of the gel film at different temperatures for 1 hour was determined based on the amount of original bFGF and the amount of released bFGF in the gel film.
Referring to fig. 1, it can be seen from fig. 1 that the gel films of examples 1 to 3 show a significant change in release rate at 37.5 ℃, thereby illustrating that the gel films of examples have temperature sensitivity around 37.5 ℃. Unlike the examples, comparative examples 1-3 showed less pronounced tendency of the release rate to change with temperature, and particularly comparative example 1, which lacks temperature sensitivity due to the absence of S-adenosylmethionine, although the release rate was higher.
The foregoing describes preferred embodiments of the present invention, but is not intended to limit the invention thereto. Modifications and variations of the embodiments disclosed herein may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
