Poor skin adhesion and mechanical properties are common problems of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) in transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS). Its poor water compatibility also causes the patch to fall off after sweating or soaking in the application site. To solve this problem, poly (2-Ethylhexyl acrylate-co-N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidone-co-N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)acrylamide) (PENH), a cross-linked pyrrolidone polyacrylate PSA, was designed to improve the adhesion and water resistance of PSA through electrostatic force and hydrogen bonding system. The structure of PENH was characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR, DSC, and other methods. The mechanism was studied by FTIR, rheological test, and molecular simulation. The results showed that the PENH patch could adhere to human skin for more than 10 days without cold flow, and it could still adhere after sweating or water contact. In contrast, the commercial PSA Duro-Tak® 87-4098 and Duro-Tak® 87-2852 fell off completely on the 3rd and 6th day, respectively, and Duro-Tak® 87-2510 showed a significant dark ring on the second day. Mechanism studies have shown that the hydrogen bond formed by 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA), N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NVP), and N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)acrylamide (HEAA) enhances cohesion, the interaction with skin improves skin adhesion, and the electrostatic interaction with water or drug molecules enhances the ability of water absorption and drug loading. Due to the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonds and electrostatic force, PENH can maintain high cohesion after drug loading or water absorption. PENH provides a choice for the development of water-compatible patches with long-lasting adhesion. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Based on the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic force, a hydrogen-bonded, cross-linked pyrrolidone acrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive for transdermal drug delivery was designed and synthesized, which has high adhesion and cohesive strength and is non-irritating to the skin. The patch can be applied on the skin surface continuously for more than 10 days without the phenomenon of "dark ring", and the patch can remain adherent after the patient sweats or bathes. This provides a good strategy for choosing a matrix for patches that require prolonged administration.
