Development of Chitosan-Based pH-Sensitive Polymeric Micelles Containing Curcumin for Colon-Targeted Drug Delivery

pH-sensitive N-naphthyl-N,O-succinyl chitosan (NSCS) and N-octyl-N,O-succinyl chitosan (OSCS) polymeric micelles carriers have been developed to incorporate curcumin (CUR) for colon-targeted drug delivery. The physical entrapment methods (dialysis, co­solvent evaporation, dropping, and O/W emulsion) were applied. The CUR-loaded micelles prepared by the dialysis method presented the highest loading capacity. Increasing initial amount of CUR from 5 to 40 wt% to polymer resulted in the increase in loading capacity of the polymeric micelles. Among the hydrophobic cores, there were no significant differences in the loading capacity of CUR-loaded micelles. The particle sizes of all CUR-loaded micelles were in the range of 120–338 nm. The morphology of the micelles changed after being contacted with medium with different pH values, confirming the pH-responsive properties of the micelles. The release characteristics of curcumin from all CUR-loaded micelles were pH-dependent. The percent cumulative release of curcumin from all CUR-loaded micelles in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) was limited to about 20%. However, the release amount was significantly increased after contacted with simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) (50–55%) and simulated colonic fluid (SCF) (60–70%). The released amount in SIF and SCF was significantly greater than the release of CUR from CUR powder. CUR-loaded NSCS exhibited the highest anti-cancer activity against HT-29 colorectal cancer cells. The stability studies indicated that all CUR-loaded micelles were stable for at least 90 days. Therefore, the colon targeted, pH-sensitive NSCS micelles may have potential to be a prospective candidate for curcumin delivery to the colon.     

Development and Characterization of Lyophilized Diazepam-Loaded Polymeric Micelles

Polymeric micelles were studied as delivery carriers of diazepam, a practically insoluble drug in water, for rectal administration. The diazepam-loaded polymeric micelles were developed by using poloxamer 407 (P407), poloxamer 188, and d-α-tocopheryl poly(ethylene glycol) 1000 succinate (TPGS). Among the used polymers, TPGS resulted in polymeric micelles with good characteristics for encapsulation of diazepam which had the small particle size of 8–12 nm and narrow size distribution (PI 0.053–0.275). Additionally, 7.5% w/v of TPGS could entirely entrap the desired concentration of diazepam (5 mg/mL). To improve the physical stability upon lyophilization, an addition of P407 of 1% w/v prevented aggregation, increased physical stability, and maintained chemical stability of the lyophilized powders of diazepam-loaded polymeric micelles for 3 months storage at 4°C. The rate and amount of diazepam release from TPGS polymeric micelles mainly depended on the concentration of TPGS. The release data were fitted to Higuchi''s model suggesting that the drug release mechanism was controlled by Fickian diffusion. In conclusion, 10% w/v TPGS and 1% w/v P407 were the optimum formulation of lyophilized diazepam-loaded polymeric micelles.Key words: diazepam, lyophilization, poloxamer 407, polymeric micelles, d-α-tocopheryl poly(ethylene glycol) 1000 succinate (TPGS)     

Facile fabrication of thermo-responsive and reduction-sensitive polymeric micelles for anticancer drug delivery

The development of thermo-responsive and reduction-sensitive polymeric micelles based on an amphiphilic block copolymer poly[(PEG-MEMA)-co-(Boc-Cyst-MMAm)]-block-PEG (denoted PEG-P-SS-HP) for the intracellular delivery of anticancer drugs is reported. PTX, as model drug, was loaded into the PEG-P-SS-HP micelles with an encapsulation efficiency >90%, resulting in a high drug loading content (up to 35?wt%). The PTX-loaded PEG-P-SS-HP micelles show slow drug release in PBS and rapid release after incubation with DTT. The PTX-loaded micelles display a better cytotoxic effect than the free drug, whereas empty micelles are found to be non-toxic. The thermo-responsive and reduction-sensitive polymeric micelles described may serve as promising carriers for cytostatic drugs.     

Curcumin reduces the cardiac ischemia–reperfusion injury: involvement of the toll-like receptor 2 in cardiomyocytes

Curcumin, a polyphenolic compound derived from turmeric, has protective effects on myocardial injury through attenuation of oxidative stress and inflammation. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), a key mediator of the innate immune system, is involved in myocardial infarction and examined if controlled by curcumin. Rat cardiomyocytes (CMs) were stimulated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, peptidoglycan (PGN) or hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) with or without curcumin pretreatment. Sprague–Dawley rats were fed curcumin (300 mg/kg/day) 1 week before cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The expression level of TLR2 and cardiac function were assessed. Both mRNA and protein of TLR2 were up-regulated in infarcted myocardium, while TLR4 remained unchanged. In CMs, TLR2 and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 mRNAs were increased by TNF-α, PGN or H/R, whereas they were blunted by curcumin. Immunofluorescence staining of CMs also showed that TLR2 and MCP-1 were increased after H/R, whereas curcumin-pretreated CMs were not. In animal study, 2 weeks after I/R, TLR2 was increased in the infarct zone, whereas it stayed unchanged in the Cur+I/R group. Macrophage infiltration (CD68), high-mobility group box 1 and fibrosis were increased in the I/R group, whereas they were decreased in the Cur+I/R group. Connexin 43 was reduced in the I/R group, while it recovered significantly in the Cur+I/R group. Cardiac contractility in the Cur+I/R group was also improved compared with that in the I/R group (max dp/dt in Cur+I/R group: 9660±612 vs. I/R group: 8119±366, P<.05). These results suggest that selective inhibition of TLR2 by curcumin could be preventive and therapeutic for myocardial infarction.

目的：在胰岛素非注射给药研究中,经皮给药系统凭借其独特的优势,已成为近年来医药领域的研发重点。控释膜的研究是 经皮给药系统中一个重要组成部分,然而涉及胰岛素通过控释膜释放的研究报道不多。本实验室通过紫外光催化技术合成出一 种丙烯酸酯-PEG复合薄膜作为胰岛素控释膜。本实验目的在于考察该复合薄膜在24 小时内对胰岛素的体外控释作用,从而为 胰岛素经皮给药制剂的基础研究作出贡献。方法：通过紫外光固化方法合成丙烯酸酯-PEG400 复合薄膜,通过HPLC的方法考察 丙烯酸酯-PEG400 复合薄膜对不同浓度胰岛素溶液的控释作用,通过比较薄膜对不同浓度胰岛素溶液的累积渗透量及渗透速率 等参数,研究薄膜对胰岛素的控释规律。结果：实验数据显示：丙烯酸酯-PEG 复合薄膜对3.0 mg/mL,6.0 mg/mL,9.0 mg/mL 这三 种不同浓度胰岛素控释曲线的相关因子分别为：0.9921,0.9950,0.9964。相关因子均大于0.99,表明该薄膜能很好的控制胰岛素溶 液实现线性释放。经计算,薄膜对3.0 mg/mL,6.0 mg/mL,9.0 mg/mL 这三种浓度胰岛素的累积渗透量分别为：266.69 ug/cm2,343.65 ug/cm2,460.10 ug/cm2。渗透速率分别为：9.24 ug·cm-2·h-1,13.40 ug·cm-2·h-1,19.04 ug·cm-2·h-1。以上两组数据表明, 薄膜对胰岛素的累积渗透量及渗透速率随胰岛素浓度的增加而增大。结论：通过实验结果我们可以看出,丙烯酸酯-PEG复合薄 膜能控制不同浓度的胰岛素溶液以恒定速率释放,通过对比薄膜对各浓度胰岛素的累积渗透量及渗透速率等参数,发现该薄膜 对胰岛素的释放速率受胰岛素浓度调节,具体表现为随胰岛素浓度的增加而增加。因此该薄膜不仅可以稳定控制胰岛素实现零 级释放,而且可以通过调节胰岛素浓度实现调节胰岛素释放速率的目的。由此可以看出,该薄膜是一种理想的胰岛素控释膜。同 时本实验作为胰岛素控释膜的基础研究,也为日后以该薄膜为控释膜的胰岛素经皮给药制剂的研发打下了坚实的基础。     

Telomerase: A Target for Therapeutic Effects of Curcumin and a Curcumin Derivative in Aβ1-42 Insult In Vitro

This study was designed to investigate whether telomerase was involved in the neuroprotective effect of curcumin and Cur1. Alzheimer''s disease is a consequence of an imbalance between the generation and clearance of amyloid-beta peptide in the brain. In this study, we used Aβ1-42 (10 µg/ml) to establish a damaged cell model, and curcumin and Cur1 were used in treatment groups. We measured cell survival and cell growth, intracellular oxidative stress and hTERT expression. After RNA interference, the effects of curcumin and Cur1 on cells were verified. Exposure to Aβ1–42 resulted in significant oxidative stress and cell toxicity, and the expression of hTERT was significantly decreased. Curcumin and Cur1 both protected SK-N-SH cells from Aβ1–42 and up-regulated the expression of hTERT. Furthermore, Cur1 demonstrated stronger protective effects than curcumin. However, when telomerase was inhibited by TERT siRNA, the neuroprotection by curcumin and Cur1 were ceased. Our study indicated that the neuroprotective effects of curcumin and Cur1 depend on telomerase, and thus telomerase may be a target for therapeutic effects of curcumin and Cur1.     

Encapsulation of ciprofloxacin within modified xanthan gum- chitosan based hydrogel for drug delivery

The aim of the present work was to investigate the preparation of polyelectrolyte hydrogel as potential drug carrier for antibacterial Ciprofloxacin drug (CFX), intended for controlled release formulation. Hydrogel of N-trimehtyl chitosan (TMC)/sodium carboxymethyl xanthan gum (CMXG) was prepared and ciprofloxacin was employed as a model drug to investigate the loading and release performance of the prepared hydrogel. FTIR, DSC, TGA and SEM analysis were used to characterize the TMC/CMXG hydrogel and its CFX loaded hydrogel. The results showed that the ciprofloxacin was successfully incorporated and released from the prepared hydrogel without the loss of structural integrity or the change in its functionality. The encapsulation efficiency of CFX within the prepared hydrogel was found to be increased with increasing the concentration of drug reaching about 93.8 ± 2.1% with concentration of CFX 250 µg/ml. It was shown also that the drug is entrapped within the gel without significant interaction as confirmed from FTIR spectra and DSC analysis. In vitro release study in phosphate buffer saline (PBS), indicated the steady rise in cumulative drug release with the highest release amount, reaching about 96.1 ± 1.8% up to 150 min, whereby the gel with high drug loading efficiency (3.52 ± 0.07%) displayed faster and higher release rate than that of gel containing a smaller amount of drug (0.44 ± 0.01%). The release kinetics of loaded drug followed zero-order kinetics. CFX drug loaded hydrogel showed high activity against the gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains due to the successful released of CFX from the CFX loaded hydrogel into the tested bacterial strains with the highest diameter of inhibition zone against Escherichia coli (67.0 ± 1.0) as compared to reference antibiotic, Gentamicin (28 ± 0.5). Cytotoxicity of the prepared hydrogel was examined in vitro using lung human normal cell lines and showed the highest cell viability (97 ± 0.5%) at concentration up to 50 µg/ml. Consequently, TMC/CMXG hydrogel can be proposed as new controlled release drug delivery system.
