The invention discloses a tanshinone II A
microemulsion preparation which has targeting and comparatively high
entrapment efficiency and
drug-
loading rate, is not haemolytic and mainly applied to the treatment of tumor and a preparation method thereof. The invention comprises the following raw materials by weight percentage: 0.6-0.8 percent of tanshinone II A, 0.6-1.8 percent of phosphotide for injection, 2.5-3 percent of glycerin for injection, 1.5-3 percent of F68 for injection, 11-15 percent of
ethyl oleate and water for injection. The preparation method of the invention is that first the tanshinone II A is dissolved in the
ethyl oleate to prepare the
oil phase mixture solution; next the phosphotide for injection, the glycerin for injection and the F68 for injection are dissolved in the water for injection which accounts for 60-70percent of the total water for injection to prepare the water phase solution; then the
oil phase solution and the water phase solution are respectively preheated to 60-70DEG C and the
oil phase solution is slowly dropped to the water phase solution when the water phase solution is blended; the
mixed solution is then sheared for 1-2minutes in a high shearing dispersing emulsification
machine and filtrated with a 0.8Mum
filtration membrane when the solution is still hot and the rest water for injection is added to the filtrate; the liquid obtained from step d is homogenized by a
high pressure emulsification
machine and next filtrated with the 0.8 Mum
filtration membrane; finally the filtrate obtained from step e is packaged, filled with
nitrogen, sealed and disinfected.
