The invention relates to the field of
medicine, and specifically, relates to a recombinant
human growth hormone (rhGH) long-acting sustained-release microcapsule and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of the rhGH long-acting sustained-release microcapsule comprises the following steps of 1, dissolving a diblock amphiphilic polymeric material in an
organic solvent to obtain an
oil phase O, 2, adding an rhGH-containing
aqueous solution W1 or rhGH-containing particles S into the
oil phase O obtained by the step 1, and carrying out emulsification preparation to obtain W1 / O or S / O primary
emulsion, wherein the rhGH-containing
aqueous solution W1 is utilized as an inner water phase, 3, adding the W1 / O or S / O primary
emulsion into a stabilizer-containing outer water phase W2 to obtain W1 / O / W2 or S / O / W2 composite pre-
emulsion, 4, carrying out a filter pressing process on the W1 / O / W2 or S / O / W2 composite pre-emulsion through a millipore membrane to obtain W1 / O / W2 or S / O / W2 composite emulsion, and 5, removing the
organic solvent in the W1 / O / W2 or S / O / W2 composite pre-emulsion, carrying out solidification, centrifugal washing and
freeze drying of the
organic solvent-free W1 / O / W2 or S / O / W2 composite emulsion. The rhGH long-acting sustained-release microcapsule obtained by the preparation method has the advantages of even size, high encapsulation efficiency,
high activity, low burst release quantity, good
repeatability, simpleness of operation, and benefit to
drug effect activity keeping and industrialized
mass production.
