Objective To study the preparation process of triptolide double-compartment dissolving microneedles, and to evaluate the quality and investigate the transdermal performance in vitro. Methods Chondroitin sulfate (CS) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) were used as needle tip materials, and polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVP K30) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were used as backing materials. Two-step centrifugation method was used to prepare dual-chamber drug-loaded microneedles. Single factor experiment and Box-Behnken design response surface method were used to optimize the process parameters of tip layer and backing layer. The dual-chamber drug-loaded microneedles were characterized by optical microscope and electron scanning microscope. The drug distribution was observed by inverted fluorescence microscope. The drug loading was measured by HPLC. In vitro and in vivo skin puncture was used to investigate the mechanical properties. Franz diffusion cell was used to investigate its in vitro transdermal properties. Results The optimal formulation of dual-chamber drug-loaded microneedles was 40% ethanol water solution as drug solvent. Needle tip process parameters was that the ratio of HPMC to CS was 1:4, the ratio of material to solvent was 1:1 and the needle tip drug concentration was 6 mg/mL. Backing process parameters is that the ratio of PVA to PVP K30 was 1:2, the ratio of material to solvent was 1:2, the microneedle centrifugation time was 10 min and the drug concentration of the backing drug was 0.5 mg/mL. The prepared dual-chamber drug-loaded microneedles have good appearance and mechanical properties. The drug at the needle tip was mainly distributed at the tip of the needle tip and the backing drug was slightly infiltrated to 2/3 of the needle tip. The drug content of each tablet was (218.88 ±0.10) µg. The in vitro transdermal experiment showed that the cumulative transdermal rate of ratracin within 72 h reached 98%. Conclusion The double-chamber drug-loading design of triptolide can increase the drug-loading capacity and also has a good sustained-release effect, which can lay an experimental foundation for the research of traditional Chinese medicine microneedle.
