Technical field
The invention belongs to chemistry and biomedical engineering field, be specifically related to a kind of preparation method of polymer drug-carried fine particle, particularly relate to the method that a kind of supercritical anti-dissolving agent process prepares biological degradable polymer drug-carried fine particle.
Technical background
1984, Krukonis propose first supercritical fluid become nuclear technology (Krukonis VJ.Supercritical FluidNucleation of Difficult to Comminute Solids[C] .Paper Presented at AIChE Meeting, SanFrancisco, CA, 1984,11), principle is earlier solid chemical compound to be dissolved in the supercritical fluid (SCF), after system pressure reduced, this chemical compound was that the nucleation crystallization is separated out.Compare with traditional method such as grinding, vapour deposition, liquid deposition, mist projection granulating etc., adopt plurality of advantages such as the supercritical fluid deposition technology has crystallization purity height, epigranular, good fluidity, the super-refinement that is applicable to particular matters such as thermal sensitivity and biological activity, particle size distribution is adjustable.Supercritical fluid deposition technology (Supercritical Solution Precipitation) is used to prepare the main method of the ultrafine particle of uniform particle diameter in recent ten years: supercritical solution fast expansion (Rapid Expansion from Supercritical Solution, RESS), supercritical anti-dissolving agent process (Supercritical Anti-solvent, SAS) and the gas saturated solution method (Particles from Gas SaturatedSolutions, PGSS).
The SAS method (Reverchon E.Supercritical antisolvent precipitation of micro and nanoparticles[J] .J.Supercritical Fluids.1999,15, need to use conventional solvent 1-21), and RESS and PGSS only relate to the binary system of solid solute and supercritical fluid, do not relate to the use of conventional solvent.But RESS and PGSS have very big limitation, the former is fit to the material (for example fluorine-containing amorphous polymer and polysiloxane) that processing can be dissolved in supercritical fluid preferably, the dissolubility that the latter be fit to handle in SCF is bigger, and fusing point is lower and do not have a heat-labile material.And SAS has exactly solved the problem that many medicines, high-molecular organic material etc. can not be dissolved in SCF, utilizes this technology can study, develop and produce the functional particulate product.
The SAS ratio juris is that the solution that is dissolved with the solute that needs the making superfine powder is mixed with certain shooting flow bulk phase, though this supercritical fluid is to the solvability of solute in the solution very poor (or insoluble at all), the organic solvent in the solution can dissolve each other with supercritical fluid.When solution mixed with this supercritical fluid, volumetric expansion can take place in solution, reduced the viscosity energy density, causes the solvability of former solvent to descend greatly, thereby solute is separated out.The maximum characteristics of SAS method are, select suitable supercritical fluid and operating condition, solvent in the solution can be dissolved fully by supercritical fluid, mixing rate by control anti-solvent of supercritical and solution, just can control the precipitation rate of solute, thereby the size and shape of powder body is separated out in control, and the mean diameter of powder granule can reach the submicron order of magnitude.For the SAS method, the field that attracted attention by researcher is aspects such as biological preparation and the preparation of medicine controlled releasing microgranule.
The SAS method implement multiple different process arrangement and device, many authors have used various title to represent these processes (having write a Chinese character in simplified form ASES, GAS, SEDS and PCA).Hanna and York use a kind of coaxial nozzle to play to mix simultaneously and the effect (US 6440337) of anti-solvent of the supercritical fluid that atomizes and liquid solution.A kind of GAS technology that proposed Krukonis etc. has successfully realized the super-refinement of RDX (cyclonite), be characterized in supercritical fluid as anti-solvent, handle the material that those can not be dissolved in supercritical fluid, this process be with pending material dissolution in organic solvent, feeding supercritical fluid then expands organic solvent, reduce the active force between it and the solid solute, cause solid supersaturation precipitation particles (US5389263).1992, Debenedetti etc. have invented a kind of ASES method and have been used for preparing protein microbeads, its main feature is to utilize special nozzle---the platinum rounding dish of laser boring, organic solution is ejected in the anti-solvent of supercritical, carry out solvent expansion, the particle precipitating has obtained catalase and the insulin microparticles of 1~5 μ m.
