Hypertensive emergency causes severe cardiovascular diseases accompanied with acute target organ damages, requiring rapid and smooth blood pressure (BP) reduction. Current medicine for treating hypertensive emergencies, such as sodium nitroprusside (SNP), requires careful dose control to avoid side effects (e.g. cyanide poisoning). The clinical administrations of SNP using intravenous injection or drip further restrict its usage for the first-aid or the self-aid of emergencies. Here we developed an antihypertensive microneedle (aH-MN) technique to transdermally deliver SNP in combination with sodium thiosulfate (ST) as a cyanide antidote in a painless way. Dissolvable microneedles loaded with SNP and ST were fabricated via centrifugation casting method, where the SNP were stably packaged in microneedles, and would be immediately released into the systemic circulation via subcutaneous capillaries when aH-MNs penetrated the skin. The antihypertensive effects were demonstrated on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) model. Rapid and potent BP reduction was achieved via aH-MNs treatment, fulfilling clinical BP-control requirements for hypertensive emergencies. The side effects include skin irritation and target organ damage of aH-MNs therapies were evaluated, and the combinative delivery of ST effectively suppressed these side effects induced by the consecutive intake of SNP. This study introduces an efficient and patient-friendly antihypertensive therapy with a favorable side effects profile, particularly a controllable and self-administrable approach to treat hypertensive emergency.
