ABSTRACT
Microneedles (MNs) technology has been studied in transdermal drug delivery for more than 20 years with hundreds of clinical trials conducted. However, there are currently no commercially available MNs in medicine due to challenges in materials safety, cost-effective fabrication, and large-scale manufacturing. Herein, an approach for rapid and green fabrication of hydrogel microneedles (HMNs) based on infrared irradiation process was proposed for the first time. The optimized formulation consisted of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), which acted as cross-linked materials and pore-forming agents, respectively. The manufacturing method involved placing MNs patches under infrared irradiation at 70 °C for 2 min and annealing to obtain HMNs with excellent swelling behavior, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. When model drugs azelaic acid (AZA) and matrine (MAT) were loaded into HMNs systems, the chemical stability of MAT was significantly improved. Ex vivo transdermal delivery experiments indicated that HMNs could achieve synchronous release of AZA and MAT, and the 24-hour percutaneous permeability rates of both drugs were 73.09 ± 0.48 % and 71.56 ± 1.23 %, respectively. In-vivo pharmacokinetic studies, HMNs administration presented dose-dependent stable blood drug concentrations for both drugs. Additionally, prominent anti-tumor efficacy and biosecurity were observed in the drug-loaded HMNs group in the pharmacodynamic evaluation. In summary, the efficient, convenient, and low-cost fabrication method based on infrared irradiation offers the possibility of mass production of drug-loaded HMNs, showing potential for industrial manufacturing development.
