The invention provides a novel acid response
ionic liquid microcapsule as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The
ionic liquid microcapsule comprises an inner core and a shell layer, wherein the inner core is
ionic liquid, and the shell layer is a
metal-
polyphenol network
coating. The preparation method of the microcapsule comprises the following steps: adding
polyphenol into the ionic liquid, and performing stirring to dissolve the
polyphenol to obtain polyphenol-ionic liquid; adding the polyphenol-ionic liquid into water, and performing ultrasonic and uniform dispersing; and then adding a
metal ion solution, performing whirling to uniformly mix the
system, then adjusting the pH value of the
system, and performing centrifuging to obtain the microcapsule. According to the ionic liquid microcapsule prepared by the method, the stability of ionic liquid droplets can be remarkably improved, and various
drug molecules, especially indissolvable drugs, can be effectively loaded; and MPN of the prepared microcapsule is dissociated in an acidic microenvironment, so that the ionic liquid carries the medicines to permeate into a
target tissue, and the
utilization rate of the medicines is greatly improved and the
efficacy of the medicines is enhanced due to the relatively strong
medicine permeation effect of the ionic liquid.
