Ellagic acid sustained-release gel and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine health care, food and cosmetics, and particularly relates to an ellagic acid gel and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
1. Structure and properties of ellagic acid
Ellagic acid is a natural polyphenol active substance. Ellagic acid is a dimethyl derivative of gallic acid, a polyphenol dilactone. It may be present not only in the free form but also in the condensed form (e.g. ellagitannins, glycosides, etc.). Ellagic acid is present in large amounts in a variety of soft fruits, nuts and other plant tissues, including blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, chestnuts, pomegranates, and other plants. Ellagic acid is substantially non-toxic. Ellagic acid has good effects of resisting mutation and cancer, and especially has good inhibitory effect on colon cancer, esophageal cancer, hepatocarcinoma, lung cancer, etc. At the same time, the study of the cytotoxic and antioxidant properties of ellagic acid also stimulated the potential of ellagic acid, a certain ellagic acid was beneficial in alleviating nephrotoxic symptoms, and some ellagitannins and ellagic acids may also inhibit immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and avian cytoma (AMV) viruses. Ellagic acid has been developed and studied in recent years because of its natural components with multiple efficacies.
The pure ellagic acid is yellow, is needle-like crystal, is yellow when encountering sulfuric acid, is blue when encountering ferric trichloride, and is easily mixed with metal cation (such as Ca)2+、Mg2+) And (4) reacting. The pure ellagic acid is insoluble in water and conventional organic solvents such as alcohols, soluble in alkali, pyridine and dimethyl sulfoxide, and insoluble in diethyl ether. The melting point is higher than 360 ℃ and the boiling point is 420 ℃.
2. Functional application of ellagic acid
2.1 Oxidation resistance
Ellagic acid has strong ability to scavenge free radicals and resist oxidation, and has effect in scavenging oxygen free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals. Ellagic acid can be used not only as an internal oxidant to protect protected materials from oxidation, but also as an external antioxidant, making ellagic acid useful for protecting foods such as edible oils, soybean oil, lard, methyl oleate, and oxidized fats. Ellagic acid is considered to be the most effective inhibitor of the microsomal NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation initiation phase in inhibiting lipid peroxidation, and ellagic acid can also strongly inhibit lipid peroxidation induced by doxorubicin. Ellagic acid inhibits the ferrimyoglobin/hydrogen peroxide dependent lipid peroxidation. Ellagic acid can prevent Lipid Peroxide (LPO) induced by exogenous substances in T cells, inhibit Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation, and improve cell death caused by cytotoxin.
Ellagic acid can also reduce cellular damage caused by radiation, hydrogen peroxide and mitomycin C in mouse bone marrow cells. Ellagic acid effectively inhibits the oxidation of DCDHF induced by peroxynitrite as well as the oxidation of peroxynitrite itself. At the same time, ellagic acid prevents single strand breaks in pTZ 18U plasmid DNA induced by peroxynitrite and the nitration of tyrosyl groups in calf serum proteins. Thus, in vitro, ellagic acid protects biomolecules from oxidative and nitration damage caused by peroxynitrite.
2.2 anticancer Activity
It has been shown that, when pomegranate rind extract is orally administered to a human body, it can be directly absorbed by the human body and only ellagic acid is utilized. Ellagic acid shows obvious inhibiting effect on canceration induced by chemical substances and other multiple canceration, and especially has good inhibiting effect on colon cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, tongue and skin tumor, etc. Scientists at home and abroad have conducted a great deal of experiments to reach several conclusions: (1) ellagic acid can effectively inhibit the metabolic activity of pathogens; (2) ellagic acid can combine with the active metabolic form of carcinogens into a harmless compound, so that it cannot combine with cellular DNA, and functions as a carcinogen scavenger; (3) ellagic acid may affect the activity of certain enzymes, thereby eliminating carcinogenic toxicity.
2.3 antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antitoxic Properties
Ellagic acid has obvious bacteriostatic action, can inhibit various diseases and the growth of some fungi to a great extent, and can protect plants from being damaged by fungi. The property of ellagic acid is expected to participate in the treatment of tuberculosis in the future and prepare new drugs. Research shows that the metabolites urolithin A and urolithin B generated after the ellagic acid is absorbed can effectively relieve symptoms of mouse colon inflammation, can effectively inhibit various acute and chronic colitis, especially chronic colitis, and has good treatment effect. In addition, ellagic acid can be used for treating hepatotoxicity caused by excessive drinking. In addition, a certain dose of ellagic acid is also beneficial for alleviating nephrotoxic symptoms and has a certain reparative effect in many aspects.
2.4 Effect against human immunodeficiency Virus
According to the research, some ellagitannins and ellagic acids can inhibit Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and avian cytoma virus (AMV) and their action mechanism is different from other drugs which can inhibit DNA polymerase, but probably because they can inhibit adsorption of HIV to normal human cells, and Asanaka et al have shown through experiments that ellagitannins and oral ellagic acids can inhibit HIV and herpes virus.
2.5 other effects
Ellagic acid is effective in inhibiting eosinophils, and this property can be used for treating allergic inflammation. Ellagic acid has a blood coagulation function and can be used as a coagulant, since ellagic acid can effectively coagulate blood and shorten bleeding time, it is clinically used for separating blood plasma. The research shows that the ellagic acid can lower blood pressure and has a sedative effect; can also inhibit hepatotoxicity, thereby protecting liver. In addition, the ellagic acid can reduce the growth of skin wrinkles, relieve inflammation caused by ultraviolet rays, prevent skin pigmentation and protect the skin to a great extent.
The above properties of ellagic acid have been discovered and utilized by many scientists, with the prospect of being widely used in food processing, healthcare and cosmetic industries. However, ellagic acid is difficult to dissolve in water, alcohols and other safe organic solvents, so that the application of ellagic acid in medicines, foods, cosmetics and the like is greatly limited.

[ paper 6] Biodegradable in situ gelling system for biochemical and biochemical acid loaded nanoparticles evaluation of the antioxidant capacity against cyclosporin-induced rat nephrotoxicity of Biodegradable in situ gelling system for evaluation of the antioxidant capacity against cyclosporin-induced rat nephrotoxicity (Journal of Controlled Release, Volume 118, Issue 1,2007, Pages 27-37), Ellagic Acid (EA) is an effective antioxidant, and is marketed as a nutritional supplement. The pharmacological activity of the compound has been reported in various disease models, but the application of the compound is limited due to the low bioavailability of the compound because of the poor biological and pharmaceutical properties of the compound. The objective of this study was to develop a chitosan-glycerophosphate (C-GP) in situ gel system for subcutaneous injection of Ellagic Acid (EA). Ellagic acid is added to a system with Propylene Glycol (PG) and Triethanolamine (TEA) as co-solvents, and on the other hand, the ellagic acid-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (np) are dispersed in a gel system with water. The mechanical, rheological and swelling properties of these in situ gel systems were fully characterized. These systems are liquid at room temperature and gel-like at 37 ℃. The EA-C-GP system showed an initial burst release in vitro, with about 85% of the drug released within 12 hours and then stably released within 160 hours, and on the other hand, ellagic acid nanoparticles embedded in the C-GP system were released continuously within 360 hours. Histopathological analysis indicated no inflammatory response upon administration, indicating that these formulations were safe during the study. In addition, EA-C-GP and EA-np-C-GP gels were evaluated for their antioxidant capacity. The data show that EA-C-GP gel and EA-np-C-GP gel show activity at 10-fold lower doses compared to oral ellagic acid, whereas EA-np-C-GP gel is 150-fold more active than oral Ellagic Acid (EA). The preparation of Ellagic Acid (EA) nanoparticles and the dosage of C-GP system were reduced by 15 times compared to EA-C-GP gel. Taken together, these results indicate that the bioavailability of ellagic acid can be improved by subcutaneous injection of simple EA or EA-nps).

Example 17 screening of Water-soluble Polymer Compound
The gel is mainly screened from common water-soluble polymer gel matrixes, and the influence of the types, the concentrations and the mass ratio of the water-soluble polymer matrixes, the dosage of ellagic acid, the dissolving temperature and the dissolving time on the gel forming condition is mainly considered, and the results are shown in table 1.

TABLE 1 screening of Water-soluble Polymer gel matrix Material
Example 18 Elastatin Release from Elastatin gel
The amount of ellagic acid in the gel system was changed to prepare 100g of hydrogel system with ellagic acid mass concentrations of 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.5%, wherein the total mass concentration of the gel matrix was 2.0% (the mass ratio of carrageenan to locust bean gum was 3.0: 2.0). Simulating a skin environment in a distilled water environment with the pH value of 6.86, putting 1.0g of gel (the mass of the contained ellagic acid is about one percent of the total mass of the ellagic acid used for preparing the gel) into 100mL of distilled water, carrying out water bath heat preservation in an environment with the temperature of 37 ℃ (the simulated skin temperature), calculating the content of the ellagic acid in a sample solution at each time within 30min, and testing the influence of the dosage of the ellagic acid on the release condition of a gel system. The results are shown in FIG. 1.
As can be seen from FIG. 1, the concentration and cumulative release rate of ellagic acid released from 1g of ellagic acid gel sample (containing ellagic acid at about 1/100 of the total ellagic acid loading) in 100mL of distilled water increased with time. As can be seen from the graphs in FIG. 1, when the mass concentration of ellagic acid in the gel is 0.5%, the release concentration of 1g of the gel in 100mL of water within 30min is 13.75mg/L, and the cumulative release rate is 35.2%, and when the mass concentration of ellagic acid in the gel is 0.3%, the release concentration within 30min is 10.01mg/L, and the cumulative release rate is 42.8%, and if the ellagic acid is required to be used within a short time, the ellagic acid is wasted to some extent. When the mass concentration of the ellagic acid in the gel is 0.05% and 0.1%, the accumulative release rate can reach 72.6% and 66.3% within 30min respectively, and the accumulative release rate is higher, but the effect is correspondingly reduced because the addition amount of the ellagic acid is less, the release concentration is lower overall. When the mass concentration of the ellagic acid in the gel is 0.2%, the release concentration of the ellagic acid in the gel reaches 7.32mg/L in 30min, the cumulative release rate can reach 46.8%, and the release effect is good on the whole. With the prolonged release time, the release amount and release rate of ellagic acid are further improved. For the application field that the gel needs to be used in a short time, such as within 30min, the release concentration and the release rate need to be considered comprehensively, and the hydrogel with the ellagic acid mass concentration of 0.2-0.3% is selected to be suitable. For application fields where the gel can be used for a long time, such as use as a pharmaceutical carrier, the gel containing ellagic acid at a high mass concentration can be used, and the biological effect of ellagic acid can be further exerted.
Under the same conditions, 10g of the gel (the mass concentration of ellagic acid contained in the gel is 0.2%) was placed in 100mL of distilled water, and incubated in a water bath at 37 ℃ (simulated skin temperature), and the release of ellagic acid from the gel at each time point within 30min was measured, and the results are shown in FIG. 2.
As can be seen from FIG. 2, the release concentration and the cumulative release rate of ellagic acid produced by using 10.0g of the gel (the mass concentration of ellagic acid contained in the gel is 0.2%) both increased substantially linearly within 30min with the increase of the release time, and the ellagic acid release rate did not become slow, indicating that ellagic acid can be released over a long period of time. When the ellagic acid is released for 30min, the release concentration and the release rate of the ellagic acid are respectively 36.6mg/L and 17.2%, and the corresponding indexes of 1g of gel loaded with the same 0.2% ellagic acid concentration in 100mL of water within 30min are respectively 7.32mg/L and 46.8%, which indicates that the use amount of the gel in water is increased when the mass concentration of the ellagic acid contained in the gel is the same, and the ellagic acid release concentration is correspondingly increased within the same time, and when the ellagic acid concentration in the gel is higher or the use amount of the gel is larger, the ellagic acid concentration in the release solution can reach a concentration which is more than several times higher than that of a blank saturated ellagic acid aqueous solution at the same temperature, so that the defect that the application is influenced by the small solubility of the ellagic acid is overcome, the biological effect of the ellagic acid is fully exerted, but the release rate of the ellagic acid is reduced along with the increase of the ellagic acid concentration or the use amount of the gel. In practical application, the gel containing higher concentration of ellagic acid can be used or more amount of the gel can be used according to specific needs.

An ellagic acid emulsion having an ellagic acid concentration of 1.0mg/mL was prepared for use in accordance with CN111920766A an ellagic acid dispersion system and an emulsion prepared by the method in the preparation method thereof (example 20 in the patent application), and an ellagic acid releasing solution prepared in example 18 of the present invention was diluted into solutions to be tested having different concentrations. Preparing reaction liquid according to the table 3, mixing uniformly, keeping the temperature at 37 ℃ for accurate reaction for 10min, and measuring the absorbance at the wavelength of 475nm by taking each solution solvent to be measured as a blank control.

Flavones as tyrosinase inhibitors:kinetic studies in vitro and in silico[J]Phytochemical Analysis,2020,31(3): 314-. The results are shown in FIG. 3.
TABLE 3 composition of tyrosinase inhibition reaction solution
As can be seen from FIG. 3, when the ellagic acid concentration in the ellagic acid release solution of the present invention is 0.0145mg/mL and 0.0366mg/mL, respectively, the tyrosinase inhibition rates are 33.11% and 51.3%, respectively, while the ellagic acid concentration in the ellagic acid emulsion is 0.15mg/mL and 0.30mg/mL, respectively, the tyrosinase inhibition rates are 22.7% and 52.1%, respectively, and the other concentrations measured and the corresponding tyrosinase inhibition rates have similar relationships. Therefore, when the same tyrosinase inhibition rate is achieved, the concentration of the ellagic acid in the ellagic acid release solution is only about one tenth of that of the ellagic acid in the ellagic acid emulsion, and the slow release of the ellagic acid is realized after the gel prepared by selecting an appropriate gel matrix is loaded with the appropriate amount of the ellagic acid, so that the concentration of the ellagic acid in the liquid can be greatly improved, and the bioactive effect of the ellagic acid can be fully exerted.
