Performance test:
(1) Pharmacokinetic performance test:
according to ethical requirements, 12 male adult mice (Sprague-Dawley) are selected, and the weight of the mice is 180-220 g, and the mice are divided into 4 groups of 3 mice each. Example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 3, respectively, wherein the soluble micro needle of example 1 was used for transdermal back administration, the injection of comparative example 1 was used for subcutaneous back administration, and the soluble micro needle of comparative examples 2 and 3 was used for transdermal back administration.
The administration method comprises dehairing the back of the rat in advance, fixing the microneedle on a probe of a tension meter, and applying the microneedle to the back of the rat at a speed of 500mm/min under a force of 100N, wherein the force is maintained for 5min, fixing the microneedle on the back of the rat after administration for 2 hours, and removing the microneedle, wherein the administration dose of each group is 350 mug/dose, wherein the administration dose of each group of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection of comparative example 1 is 100 ug/dose. Blood is collected for 0.5 mL at 15min, 30min, 45min, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 8h, 12h, 24h, 48h after administration, and placed in a centrifuge tube with inner wall coated with heparin sodium, centrifuged at 5000rpm for 10min to separate blood plasma, and stored in a refrigerator at-20deg.C. The blood concentration of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride was measured by LC/MS, and the measured blood concentration of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride was recorded in table 9, and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from the blood concentration of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride plotted on a pharmaceutical-time curve in table 9. The pharmacokinetic parameters of example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 3 are shown in table 10.
Table 9 blood concentration of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride (unit: ng/mL) of example 1, comparative example 1 to 3
TABLE 10 pharmacokinetic parameter Table
As can be seen from tables 9 and 10, the blood concentration of the soluble microneedle prepared in example 1 can be rapidly increased after transdermal administration, the peak time is the same as that of the injection, the blood injection speed is high, and the rapid release effect can be achieved. However, the rate of increase in blood concentration and the peak time thereof after transdermal administration of the soluble microneedles prepared in comparative examples 2 and 3 were far less than those of the soluble microneedles prepared in example 1. In addition, the soluble microneedles prepared in example 1 were also significantly higher in C max and AUC 0-48h than the soluble microneedles prepared in comparative examples 2 and 3. Compared with the soluble microneedle prepared by combining the dexmedetomidine hydrochloride and the dextran, the soluble microneedle prepared by adding other auxiliary material components can greatly shorten the acting time of the dexmedetomidine hydrochloride soluble microneedle, and can also greatly improve the bioavailability of the dexmedetomidine hydrochloride.
