可溶性微针及其在疫苗递送中的应用研究进展

Research progress in application of dissolvable microneedles in delivery of vaccine

  • 摘要: 可溶性微针(DMNs)在递送疫苗过程中具有降低疼痛、节约剂量、无锐器污染及可自主操作等优势。本文介绍DMNs的材料、制造以及物理性状的表征,重点阐述了其在递送包括流感疫苗、新冠疫苗、病毒性肝炎疫苗以及风疹麻疹联合疫苗等多种疫苗中的应用。当前研究表明,DMNs在提高疫苗免疫原性、增强疫苗稳定性以及降低接种成本等方面具有显著优势。然而,DMNs的发展仍面临材料代谢机制不明确、皮肤安全性、规模化生产困难以及缺乏质量标准和政策法规等挑战。未来,随着微针技术的持续进步和政策法规的不断完善,DMNs疫苗有望在增加接种便捷性和提高疫苗覆盖率等方面发挥重要作用,为人类健康事业贡献力量。

     

    Abstract: Dissolvable microneedles (DMNs) offer significant advantages for vaccine delivery, including pain relief, saving drug dose, no contamination of sharp instruments and autonomous operation. The review introduces the materials, fabrication processes and physical characteristics of DMNs, focusing on its application in delivering various vaccines, such as influenza vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines, viral hepatitis vaccines and the measles-rubella vaccine. Current research demonstrates that DMNs provide significant advantages in enhancing vaccine immunogenicity, boosting vaccine stability and reducing vaccination costs. Yet, challenges confronting the development of DMNs remain in terms of unclear material metabolism, skin safety, difficulties in large-scale production and lack of quality standards and regulations. With the continuous progress of microneedle technique and constant improvement of policies and regulations, DMNs are expected to play an important role in boosting the convenience of vaccination and raising the coverage rate of vaccination, thereby making significant contributions to human health undertakings.
