Preparation method and application of resveratrol nanocrystalline liposome based on TPGS modification
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to a preparation method and application of a resveratrol nanocrystalline liposome based on TPGS modification.
Background
Resveratrol (Res), also known as resveratrol (3, 4', 5-trihydroxy-1, 2-diphenylethylene), is a polyphenol compound with homology of medicine and food, and exists in various plants such as grapes, rhizoma et radix Veratri, cassia seed, giant knotweed rhizome, mulberry and the like. Res has strong biological activity and has pharmacological actions of resisting inflammation, bacteria, oxidation and tumor, protecting heart and blood vessels, and the like. However, resveratrol has low water solubility, unstable property, low in-vivo bioavailability and rapid metabolism, so that resveratrol is not enough to exert corresponding pharmacological activity. Therefore, how to improve the stability and bioavailability of resveratrol becomes a key for development and utilization.
The nano crystal technology is a special method for reducing the grain diameter of a medicament to a nano level (1-1000 nm) aiming at an insoluble medicament in recent years, and the medicament has small grain diameter, high medicament loading amount and large specific surface area after the nano technology is applied, and can effectively improve the solubility and the dissolution rate of the insoluble medicament. The methods for preparing nanocrystals are generally classified into top-down and bottom-up methods, and also into a method in which both techniques are combined.
Although the nanocrystal plays an important role in improving the oral bioavailability of a poorly soluble drug, the nanocrystal belongs to a thermodynamically unstable system, and in recent years, many researches are carried out to achieve the purposes of increasing the stability, prolonging the retention time of the drug in vivo or the like by modifying the surface of the nanocrystal.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method and application of a resveratrol nanocrystal liposome modified based on TPGS (tyrosine-serine), wherein the resveratrol nanocrystal is loaded on the TPGS modified liposome, and the TPGS can reduce the particle size of the liposome and increase the stability of the liposome, and can promote a drug to enter a tumor cell to inhibit the efflux of a P glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated drug.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention for solving the technical problems is as follows:
provides a preparation method of resveratrol nanocrystalline liposome based on TPGS modification, which comprises the following steps:
s1: mixing resveratrol and a stabilizer, performing ultrasonic dispersion, adding zirconia beads, grinding under magnetic stirring, and absorbing the nano suspension after grinding to obtain a resveratrol nanocrystal solution;
s2: dissolving soybean lecithin, cholesterol and TPGS with an organic solvent, evaporating the solution under reduced pressure to remove the organic solvent until a layer of milky white film is formed, adding the resveratrol nanocrystal solution and the buffer solution for ultrasonic hydration, and then performing ultrasonic treatment by using an ultrasonic probe to obtain the TPGS modified resveratrol nanocrystal liposome;

As shown in FIG. 8, the particle size, polydispersity index and potential of the preparation did not change significantly within 30 days, and the stability was good.
3. Res bulk drug, res-NC and TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC in vitro release experiments
The in vitro release of Res drug, res-NC and TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC in different media (phosphate buffered solution pH =7.4, solution pH =1.2HCl and double distilled water) was investigated using dialysis bag diffusion method. Res, res-NC and TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC dispersed in 5ml PBS containing 0.5% SDS. And placed in a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cut-off of 14000 Da. The volume of the release medium is 20mL, the rotating speed is 100r/min, and the temperature is kept at 37.0 +/-0.5 ℃.1mL aliquots were removed at predetermined time intervals from the release medium and an equal volume of PBS and 0.5% SDS solution was added to the release medium. All samples were then filtered through a 0.22 μm pore size filter. The drug concentration was measured on High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and the cumulative drug release was calculated.
The cumulative release amount is calculated as follows:
in this formula, er% represents the cumulative amount of drug released, V e Representing the sample volumes at different points in time. At different time points, C i Representing real-time drug concentration; v O Represents the volume of released medium in each centrifuge tube; m drug Indicating the initial Res mass contained in each dialysis bag.
The in vitro cumulative release profiles of the different formulations in different media are shown in figure 9. From FIG. 9, it can be seen that the release rate of TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC in phosphate buffer solution for 36h (87.21. + -. 1.86)%, is higher than that of the free drug solution (38.77. + -. 2.089%). Similarly, 94.91 + -2.60% of the drug was released from the drug-loaded liposomes in HCl solution, while the release rate of the free drug was 49.31 + -1.75% in 36 h. Meanwhile, the drug release rate of the drug-loaded liposome in double distilled water is 89.21 +/-1.41 percent, and the drug release rate in free drug suspension is only 35.01 +/-2.58 percent. Res-NC and TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC were observed to dissolve faster than the free drug in all three media. It can also be seen that the dissolution rate of TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC in three media is slower than that of Res-NC, but the accumulative release within 36h is not much different from that of Res-NC, which indicates that Res-NC improves the solubility of Res. TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC improves the stability of Res-NC in external environments.
4. Caco-2 cytotoxicity assay for TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC
The cytotoxicity of different concentrations of TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC on Caco-2 was determined by MTT method. The result shows that TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC has less toxicity to Caco-2 cells, and the cell survival rate is still more than 80% when the concentration of TPGS-lipo @ Res-NC is 200ug/mL after 48h of culture, so that the TPGS-lipo @ Res-NCo is proved to have very low cytotoxicity. The results of the experiment are shown in FIG. 10.
5. Caco-2 cell uptake and cell localization experiments of C6@ Lipo and C6@ TPGS-Lipo
Coumarin is used as a fluorescent dye, and the preparation method in the first embodiment is adopted to prepare the C6@ Lipo and the C6@ TPGS-Lipo. The uptake of C6, C6@ Lipo and C6@ TPGS-Lipo by caco-2 cells at different concentrations of the formulation and at different times was observed.
The cell nucleus is specifically stained by a cell nucleus staining method, and the distribution of the C6@ TPGS-Lipo in the cells after the endocytosis of the caco-2 cells is observed by an inverted fluorescence microscope.
The experimental results show that the fluorescence intensity of the cells can be increased along with the increase of the uptake time and concentration of different preparations, which indicates that the preparation has time and concentration dependence on caco-2 cells. As can be seen from FIG. 11, the Caco-2 cells have higher uptake of the C6@ TPGS-Lipo, because in the Caco-2 cell model, TPGS can remarkably promote the uptake of Caco-2 cells, which indicates that the TPGS modified mesoliposome can improve the oral availability of the drug, thereby proving that the TPGS-Lipo @ Res-NC has better bioavailability. The results of the experiment are shown in FIG. 11.
Aiming at the problems that the resveratrol is insoluble in water and low in bioavailability, the invention adopts a micro-medium grinding method to prepare the resveratrol into the nanocrystal, the nanocrystal has small particle size and high drug loading, and the dissolution rate of the resveratrol is improved. And the resveratrol nanocrystal is encapsulated by the TPGS modified liposome, so that the stability of the nanocrystal is improved, and the uptake of resveratrol by caco-2 cells is enhanced. The bioavailability of the resveratrol is improved by combining the advantages of the two preparations.
