ContextThe interaction between nobiletin and anemarsaponin BII could affect the pharmacological activity of these two drugs during their combination.ObjectiveThe co-administration of nobiletin and anemarsaponin BII was investigated to explore the interaction and the potential mechanism.Materials and methodsMale Sprague-Dawley rats were only orally administrated with 50 mg/kg nobiletin as the control and another six rats were pre-treated with 100 mg/kg anemarsaponin BII for 7 d followed by the administration of nobiletin. The transport and metabolic stability of nobiletin were evaluated in vitro, and the effect of anemarsaponin BII on the activity of CYP3A4 was also assessed to explore the potential mechanism underlying the interaction.ResultsThe increasing Cmax (2309.67 ± 68.06 μg/L vs. 1767.67 ± 68.86 μg/L), AUC (28.84 ± 1.34 mg/L × h vs. 19.57 ± 2.76 mg/L × h), prolonged t1/2 (9.80 ± 2.33 h vs. 6.24 ± 1.53 h), and decreased clearance rate (1.46 ± 0.26 vs. 2.42 ± 0.40) of nobilein was observed in rats. Anemarsaponin BII significantly enhanced the metabolic stability of nobiletin in rat liver microsomes (half-life increased from 31.56 min to 39.44 min) and suppressed the transport of nobiletin in Caco-2 cells (efflux rate decreased from 1.57 ± 0.04 to 1.30 ± 0.03). The inhibitory effect of anemarsaponin BII on CYP3A4 was also found with an IC50 value of 10.23 μM.Discussion and conclusionsThe interaction between anemarsaponin BII and nobiletin was induced by the inhibition of CYP3A4, which should draw special attention in their clinical co-administration. 相似文献

ContextDehydroandrographolide succinate (DAS) is mainly used in the clinical treatment of various infectious diseases. Its potential effects on platelet aggregation and blood coagulation systems have not been reported systematically.ObjectiveTo explore whether DAS exerts an antithrombotic effect and its internal mechanism.Materials and methodsHuman blood samples and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats divided into control, aspirin (30 mg/kg), and DAS groups (200, 400 and 600 mg/kg) were used to measure the platelet aggregation rate, coagulation function, coagulation factor activity, and contents of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α). The histopathology of the SD rat gastric mucosa was also observed. All rats were administered intragastric or intraperitoneal injections once a day for 3 consecutive days.ResultsCompared to control group, DAS significantly inhibited the platelet aggregation rate (ED50 = 386.9 mg/kg) by decreasing TXB2 levels (1531.95 ± 649.90 pg/mL to 511.08 ± 411.82 pg/mL) and activating antithrombin III (AT-III) (103.22 ± 16.22% to 146.46 ± 8.96%) (p < 0.05). In addition, DAS significantly enhanced the coagulation factors FV (304.12 ± 79.65% to 443.44 ± 75.04%), FVII (324.19 ± 48.03% to 790.66 ± 225.56%), FVIII (524.79 ± 115.47% to 679.92 ± 143.34%), FX (34.90 ± 7.40% to 102.76 ± 29.41%) and FXI (38.12 ± 10.33% to 65.47 ± 34.08%), increased the content of Fg (2.18 ± 0.39 to 3.61 ± 0.37 g/L), shorten the PT (10.42 ± 0.44 to 9.22 ± 0.21 s), APTT (16.43 ± 1.4 to 14.07 ± 0.75 s) and TT time (37.04 ± 2.13 to 32.68 ± 1.29 s) (p < 0.05), while the aspirin group showed no such effect on these items but showed reduced activity of FII (89.21 ± 21.72% to 61.83 ± 8.95%) and FVIII (524.79 ± 115.47% to 306.60 ± 29.96%) (p < 0.05). Histopathological changes showed aspirin-induced gastric mucosa haemorrhage and the protective effect of DAS in the gastric mucosa.ConclusionsDAS is more suitable than aspirin in thromboprophylaxis treatment, which provides a reliable theoretical and experimental basis for its clinical application. 相似文献

The principal goal of the present investigation was to enterprise new and effective drug delivery vesicle for the sustained delivery of local anesthetic lidocaine hydrochloride (LDC), using a novel combination of copolymeric hydrogel with tetrahydroxyborate (COP–THB) to improve bioactivity and therapeutic potential. To support this contention, the physical and mechanical properties, rheological characteristics, and component release of candidate formulations were investigated. An optimized formulation of COP–THB containing LDC to an upper maximum concentration of 1.5% w/w was assessed for drug crystallization. The biocompatibility of the prepared COP–THB hydrogel was exhibited strong cell survival (96%) and growth compatibility on L929 fibroblast cell lines, which was confirmed by using methods of MTT assay and microscopic observations. The COP–THB hydrogel release pattern is distinct from that of COP–THB/LDC hydrogels by the slow-release rate and the low percentage of cumulative release. In vivo evaluations were demonstrated the anesthetic effects and toxicity value of treated samples by using mice models. In addition, COP–THB/LDC hydrogels significantly inhibit in vivo tumor growth in mice model and effectively reduced it is in vivo toxicity. The pharmacological evaluation showed that encapsulation of LDC in COP–THB hydrogels prolonged its anesthetic action with favorable in vitro and in vivo compatibility. This novel design may theoretically be used in promising studies involving the controlled release of local anesthetics.
Highlights
- Development a modified sustained release system for the local anesthetic lidocaine.
- PVP-THB hydrogel to improve the pharmacological properties of the drug and their anesthetic activities.
- Profiles of PVP-THB/LDC showed that the effective release of associated lidocaine.
- This new formulation could potentially be used in future local anesthetics.

Itraconazole (ITC), a well-tolerated antifungal drug, exerts multiple anticancer effects which justified its preclinical and clinical investigation as potential anti-cancer agent with reduced side effects. Enhancement of ITC anti-cancer efficacy would bring valuable benefits to patients. We propose herein lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) modified with a subtherapeutic dose of miltefosine (MFS) as a membrane bioactive amphiphilic additive (M-ITC-LNC) for the development of an ITC nanoformulation with enhanced anticancer activity compared with ITC solution (ITC-sol) and unmodified ITC-LNC. Both LNC formulations showed a relatively small size (43–46 nm) and high entrapment efficiency (>97%), though ITC release was more sustained by M-ITC-LNC. Cytotoxicity studies revealed significantly greater anticancer activity and selectivity of M-ITC-LNC for MCF-7 breast cancer cells compared with ITC-sol and ITC-LNC. This trend was substantiated by in vivo findings following a 14 day-treatment of murine mammary pad Ehrlich tumors. M-ITC-LNC showed the greatest enhancement of the ITC-induced tumor growth inhibition, proliferation, and necrosis. At the molecular level, the tumor content of Gli 1, caspase-3, and vascular endothelial growth factor verified superiority of M-ITC-LNC in enhancing the ITC antiangiogenic, apoptotic, and Hedgehog pathway inhibitory effects. Finally, histopathological and biochemical analysis indicated greater reduction of ITC systemic toxicity by M-ITC-LNC. Superior performance of M-ITC-LNC was attributed to the effect of MFS on the structural and release properties of LNC coupled with its distinct bioactivities. In conclusion, MFS-modified LNC provides a simple nanoplatform integrating the potentials of LNC and MFS for enhancing the chemotherapeutic efficacy of ITC and possibly other oncology drugs. 相似文献

ContextSauropus brevipes Müll. Arg. (Phyllanthaceae) has been used as an effective ingredient in a decoction for the treatment of diarrhoea. However, there was no report on its modulatory role in inflammation.ObjectiveThis study investigates anti-inflammatory effect of S. brevipes in various inflammation models.Materials and methodsThe aerial part of S. brevipes was extracted with 95% ethanol to produce Sb-EE. RAW264.7 cells pre-treated with Sb-EE were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and Griess assay and PCR were performed. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, luciferase assay, Western blotting and kinase assay were employed. C57BL/6 mice (10 mice/group) were orally administered with Sb-EE (200 mg/kg) once a day for five days, and peritonitis was induced by an intraperitoneal injection of LPS (10 mg/kg). ICR mice (four mice/group) were orally administered with Sb-EE (20 or 200 mg/kg) or ranitidine (positive control) twice a day for two days, and EtOH/HCl was orally injected to induce gastritis.ResultsSb-EE suppressed nitric oxide (NO) release (IC50=34 µg/mL) without cytotoxicity and contained flavonoids (quercetin, luteolin and kaempferol). Sb-EE (200 µg/mL) reduced the mRNA expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS). Sb-EE blocked the activities of Syk and Src, while inhibiting interleukin-1 receptor associated kinases (IRAK1) by 68%. Similarly, orally administered Sb-EE (200 mg/kg) suppressed NO production by 78% and phosphorylation of Src and Syk in peritonitis mice. Sb-EE also decreased inflammatory lesions in gastritis mice.Discussion and conclusionsThis study demonstrates the inhibitory effect of Sb-EE on the inflammatory response, suggesting that Sb-EE can be developed as a potential anti-inflammatory agent. 相似文献

Crotamiton (CRT) is a commonly approved drug prescribed for the scabies treatment in many countries across the globe. However, poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability, and side effects restrict its use. To avoid such issues, an appropriate carrier system is necessary which can address the aforementioned challenges for attaining enhanced biopharmaceutical attributes. The current study intends to provide a detailed account on the development and evaluation of CRT-loaded microemulsion (ME) hydrogel formulation containing tea tree oil (TTO) for improved drug delivery for scabies treatment in a safe and effective manner. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed with TTO as the oily phase, and Cremophor®EL was used as the surfactant in a mass ratio 2:1 with co-surfactants (mixture of phospholipid 90G and Transcutol®P), and aqueous solution as the external phase. The optimized drug-loaded ME formulation was evaluated for skin penetration, retention, compliance, and dermatokinetics. The nonirritant behavior of the formulation was revealed by skin histopathology, which showed no changes in normal skin histology. In comparison to the conventional product, dermatokinetic experiments revealed that CRT has greater penetration and distribution in the epidermis of the mice skin. The findings imply that the proposed lipid-based ME hydrogel can aid in the resolution of CRT issues by providing a better and safer delivery option to epidermis and deeper epidermis in substantial quantities. 相似文献

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness. Therapies available suffer from several drawbacks including low bioavailability, repeated administration and poor patient compliance with adverse effects thereafter. In this study, bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA-NPs) coated with chitosan(CS) were developed for the topical delivery of tetrandrine (TET) for glaucoma management. Optimized nanoparticles were prepared by desolvation. pH, BSA, CS and cross-linking agent concentrations effects on BSA-NPs colloidal properties were investigated. CS-BSA-NPs with particle size 237.9 nm and zeta potential 24 mV was selected for further evaluation. EE% exceeded 95% with sustained release profile. In vitro mucoadhesion was evaluated based on changes in viscosity and zeta potential upon incubation with mucin. Ex vivo transcorneal permeation was significantly enhanced for CS coated formulation. In vitro cell culture studies on corneal stromal fibroblasts revealed NPs biocompatibility with enhanced cellular uptake and improved antioxidant and anti-proliferative properties for the CS-coated formulation. Moreover, BSA-NPs were nonirritant as shown by HET-CAM test. Also, bioavailability in rabbit aqueous humor showed 2-fold increase for CS-TET-BSA-NPs compared to TET with a sustained reduction in intraocular pressure in a rabbit glaucoma model. Overall, results suggest CS-BSA-NPs as a promising platform for topical ocular TET delivery in the management of glaucoma. 相似文献

Urticaria affects all age groups of a population. It is triggered by allergens in foods, insect bites, medications, and environmental conditions. Urticaria is characterized by itching, a burning sensation, wheals and flares, erythema, and localized edema. The aim of this study was to develop a polymeric dosage form of ebastine using Carbopol 940 and mixture of span and tween. The emulsion was prepared, the gelling agent was added and the desired emulgel loaded with active drug was formulated. The formulations were subjected to physical stability, pH, viscosity, spreadability, drug content analysis, thermal analysis, in vitro drug release, and in vivo anti-allergic activity in animal model. The formulated emulgel exhibited good physical stability. The pH of the formulation was in the range of 5.2 ± 0.17 to 5.5 ± 0.20 which is suitable for topical application. Insignificant changes (p > .05) were observed in viscosity and spreadability of stored emulgels. The drug content was in the official limit of Pharmacopeia (i.e. 100 ± 10%). DSC measurements predicted that there is no interaction between the active moiety and excipients in emulgel formulation. The optimized formulation (ES3) released 74.25 ± 1.8% of ebastine after 12 h. The ebastine emulgel showed significant (p < .05; ANOVA) in vivo anti-allergic activity as compared to commercial product Benadryl® in histamine-induced allergy in rabbits. This study concluded that a topical drug delivery of ebastine-loaded emulgel could be well tolerated and safe for the treatment of urticaria/hives. 相似文献

We report the formulation of nanoassemblies (NAs) comprising C225 conjugates Gd-PFH-NAs (C-Gd-PFH-NAs) for low-intensity focused ultrasound diagnosis ablation of thyroid cancer. C-Gd-PFH-NAs showed excellent stability in water, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and 20% rat serum. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images also revealed the effective construction of C-Gd-PFH-NAs as common spherical assemblies. The incubation of C625 thyroid carcinoma with C-Gd-PFH-NAs triggers apoptosis, as confirmed by flow cytometry analysis. The C-Gd-PFH-NAs exhibited antitumor efficacy in human thyroid carcinoma xenografts, where histopathological results further confirmed these outcomes. Furthermore, we were able to use low-intensity focused ultrasound diagnosis imaging (LIFUS) to examine the efficiency of C-Gd-PFH-NAs in thyroid carcinoma in vivo. These findings clearly show that the use of LIFUS agents with high performance imaging in different therapeutic settings will have extensive potential for future biomedical applications. 相似文献

In relieving local pains, lidocaine, one of ester-type local anesthetics, has been used. To develop the lidocaine membranes of enhanced local anesthetic effects, we have designed to establish the composition of wound dressings based on lidocaine chloride (LCH) (anesthetic drug)-loaded chitosan (CS)/polymyxin B sulfate (PMB). The LCH membranes (LCH-CS/PMB) was fabricated by the LCH oxide solutions within the CS/PMB matrix. The influences of different experimental limitations on CS/PMB membrane formations were examined. The double membrane particle sizes were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM). Additionally, antibacterial efficacy was developed for gram-positive and negative microorganisms. Moreover, we examined in vivo healing of skin wounds formed in mouse models over 16 days. In contrast to the untreated wounds, rapid healing was perceived in the LCH-CS/PMB-treated wound with less damaging. These findings indicate that LCH-CS/PMB-based bandaging materials could be a potential innovative biomaterial for tissue repair and regeneration for wound healing applications in an animal model. 相似文献

Antrodia cinnamomea is extensively used as a traditional medicine to prevention and treatment of liver cancer. However, its comprehensive chemical fingerprint is uncertain, and the mechanisms, especially the potential therapeutic target for anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still unclear. Using UPLC‒Q-TOF/MS, 139 chemical components were identified in A. cinnamomea dropping pills (ACDPs). Based on these chemical components, network pharmacology demonstrated that the targets of active components were significantly enriched in the pathways in cancer, which were closely related with cell proliferation regulation. Next, HCC data was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database (GEO). The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and DisGeNET were analyzed by bioinformatics, and 79 biomarkers were obtained. Furtherly, nine targets of ACDP active components were revealed, and they were significantly enriched in PI3K/AKT and cell cycle signaling pathways. The affinity between these targets and their corresponding active ingredients was predicted by molecular docking. Finally, in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that ACDPs could reduce the activity of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and downregulate the expression of cell cycle-related proteins, contributing to the decreased growth of liver cancer. Altogether, PI3K/AKT-cell cycle appears as the significant central node in anti-liver cancer of A. Cinnamomea. 相似文献

This study aimed to illustrate the use of D-optimal mixture design (DOMD) for optimization of an enhancer containing Dapsone niosomal formula for acne topical treatment. Mixture components (MixCs) studied were: Span 20, Cholesterol, and Cremophor RH. Different responses were measured. Optimized formula (OF) was selected to minimize particle size and maximize absolute zeta potential and entrapment efficiency. Optimized formula gel (OF-gel) was prepared and characterized. OF-gel in vivo skin penetration using confocal laser scanning microscopy and activity against Cutibacterium acnes in acne mouse model were studied. Based on DOMD results analysis, adequate models were derived. Piepel and contour plots were plotted accordingly to explain how alteration in MixCs L-pseudo values affected studied responses and regions for different responses’ values. The OF had suitable predicted responses which were in good correlation with the actually measured ones. The OF-gel showed suitable characterization and in vivo skin penetration up to the dermis layer. In vivo acne mouse-model showed that OF-gel-treated group (OF-gel-T-gp) had significantly better recovery (healing) criteria than untreated (UT-gp) and Aknemycin®-treated (A-T-gp) groups. This was evident in significantly higher reduction of inflammation percent observed in OF-gel-T-gp than both UT-gp and A-T-gp. Better healing in OF-gel-T-gp compared with other groups was also verified by histopathological examination. Moreover, OF-gel-T-gp and A-T-gp bacterial loads were non-significantly different from each other but significantly lower than UT-gp. Thus, DOMD was an adequate statistical tool for optimization of an appropriate enhancer containing Dapsone niosomal formula that proved to be promising for topical treatment of acne. 相似文献

Despite high efficiency of domperidone (DOM) in prophylaxis of emesis accompanied with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it still can bother cancer patients by its powerful side effects and difficulty of its oral administration. The study was designed to develop and optimize DOM loaded ethosomal gel for rectal transmucosal delivery. Ethosomal formulations were prepared using a 21, 51 full-factorial design where the impact of lecithin concentration and additives were investigated. The optimum ethosomal vesicles were subsequently incorporated in Carbopol gel base where rheological behavior, spreadability, mucoadhesion, and in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters were studied. Based on Design Expert® software (Stat Ease, Inc., Minneapolis, MN), the optimum formulation illustrated entrapment efficiency of 70.02%±5.52%, and vesicular size of 112 ± 3.3 nm, polydispersity index of 0.32 ± 0.01, zeta potential of −59 ± 0.28 mV, and % drug released after 6 h of 76.30%±2.45%. Moreover, ex vivo permeation through rabbit intestinal mucosa increased four times compared to free DOM suspension. The gel loaded with ethosomes showed excellent mucoadhesion to rectal mucosa. DOM ethosomal gel showed a raise in Cmax and AUC0–48 of DOM by twofolds compared to free DOM gel. The study suggested that ethosomes incorporated in gels could be an efficient candidate for rectal transmucosal delivery of DOM. 相似文献

The development of local anesthetic (LA) system is the application of commercial drug for the pain management that indorses the reversible obstructive mechanism of neural transmission through preventing the innervation process in human peripheral nerves. Ropivacaine (RV) is one of the greatest frequently used LA s with the actions of long-lasting and low-toxicity for the post-operative pain management. In this work, we have approached novel design and development of glycosylated chitosan (GCS) encapsulated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (GCS-MONPs)-based nano-scaffold for sustainable distributions and controlled/supported arrival of stacked RV for targeting sites, which can be activated by either outer ultrasound activating to discharge the payload, foundation on-request and dependable analgesia. The structural and morphology analyses result established that prepared nano-formulations have successful molecular interactions and RV loaded spherical morphological structures. The drug release profile of developed nanostructure with ultrasound-activation has been achieved 50% of drug release in 2 h and 90% of drug release was achieved in 12 h, which displays more controlled release when compared to free RV solution. The in vitro cell compatibility analysis exhibited GCS-MONPs with RV has improved neuron cell survival rates when compared to other samples due to its porous surface and suitable biopolymer proportions. The analysis of ex vitro and in vivo pain relief analysis demonstrated treated animal models have high compatibility with GCS-MONPs@RV, which was confirmed by histomorphology. This developed MONPs based formulations with ultrasound-irradiation gives a prospective technique to clinical agony the board through on-request and dependable help with discomfort. 相似文献

Naringenin, a flavonoid, possesses antiangiogenic potential and inhibits corneal neovascularization (CNV); however, its therapeutic use is restricted due to poor solubility and limited bioavailability. In this study, we developed a naringenin microemulsion (NAR-ME) for inhibiting CNV. NAR-ME formulation was composed of triacetin (oil phase), Cremophor RH40 (CRH40), PEG400, and water, its droplet size was 13.22 ± 0.13 nm with a narrow size distribution (0.112 ± 0.0014). The results demonstrated that NAR-ME released higher and permeated more drug than NAR suspension (NAR-Susp) in in vitro drug release and ex vivo corneal permeation study. Human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) toxicity study showed no toxicity with NAR-ME, which is consistent with the result of ocular irritation study. NAR-ME had high bioavailability 1.45-fold, 2.15-fold, and 1.35-fold higher than NAR-Susp in the cornea, conjunctiva, and aqueous humor, respectively. Moreover, NAR-ME (0.5% NAR) presented efficacy comparable to that of dexamethasone (0.025%) in the inhibition of CNV in mice CNV model induced by alkali burning, resulting from the attenuation of corneal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-14) expression. In conclusion, the optimized NAR-ME formulation demonstrated excellent physicochemical properties and good tolerance, enhanced ocular bioavailability and corneal permeability. This formulation is promising, safe, and effective for the treatment of CNV. 相似文献

Sodium aescinate (SA) is often used for intravenous (IV) injection owing to its anti-inflammatory, anti-exudative, increasing venous tension, improving blood circulation and reducing swelling activities. However, the clinical application of SA is limited by strong irritation, short half-life and low bioavailability. To overcome these defects, we intended to modify SA by encapsualing it with liposomes . SA was mixed with a proper amount of phospholipid and lyophilized to prepare the liposome of sodium aescinate for injection (SA-Lip-I). Its physical properties, cumulative release and dilution stability were evaluated in vitro. Its pharmacodynamic characteristics were evaluated. Safety of SA-Lip-I was evaluated in terms of hemolysis, IV irritation and acute toxicity. The mean particle size of SA-Lip-I was 117.33±0.95 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) was 0.140±0.017, Zeta potential was -30.34±0.23 mv, The cumulative release of SA-Lip at 12 h was more than 80%, which met the release requirements of nanoparticles. SA-Lip-I was well stable in the four mediators and met the clinical medication requirements. In addition, SA-Lip-I had better efficacy than the SA-I and has a significant difference. Furthermore, SA-Lip-I did not induce hemolysis at 37°C, and produced by far milder venous irritation as compared with SA-I. In addition, LD50 of SA-Lip-I was 2.12 fold that of the commercial SA-I, with no obvious side effects.The modified SA-Lip-I is a promising preparation which can reduce the irritation and toxic side effects, improve the treatment effect to a certain extent, but greatly alleviate pain of the patient during treatment, achieving the optimal curative effect. 相似文献

In this article, formulation studies for terbinafine hydrochloride nanoemulsions, prepared by high-energy ultrasonication technique, are described. Pseudo-ternary phase diagram was constructed in order to find out the optimal ratios of oil and surfactant/co-solvent mixture for nanoemulsion production. Clove and olive oils were selected as oil phase. Based on the droplet size evaluation, maximum nanoemulsion region were determined for formulation development. Further characterization included polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, morphology, pH, viscosity, refractive index, ex vivo skin permeation, skin irritation, and histopathological examination. Droplet sizes of optimized formulations were in colloidal range. PDI values below 0.35 indicated considerably homogeneous nanoemulsions. Zeta potential values were from 13.2 to 18.1 mV indicating good stability, which was also confirmed by dispersion stability studies. Ex vivo permeation studies revealed almost total skin permeation of terbinafine hydrochloride from the nanoemulsions (96–98%) in 6 hours whereas commercial product reached only 57% permeation at the same time. Maximum drug amounts were seen in epidermis and dermis layers. Skin irritation and histopathological examination demonstrated dermatologically safe formulations. In conclusion, olive oil and clove oil-based nanoemulsion systems have potential to serve as promising carriers for topical terbinafine hydrochloride delivery. 相似文献

ContextCyanidin has been shown to have therapeutic potential in osteoarthritis. However, it is unclear whether cyanidin prevents the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD).ObjectiveThis study evaluates the effects of cyanidin on IVDD in vitro and in vivo.Materials and methodsNucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) isolated from lumbar IVD of 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were exposed to 20 ng/mL IL-1β, and then treated with different doses (0-120 µM) of cyanidin for 24 h. SD rats were classified into three groups (n = 8) and treated as follows: control (normal saline), IVDD (vehicle), IVDD + cyanidin (50 mg/kg). Cyanidin was administered intraperitoneally for 8 weeks.ResultsThe IC50 of cyanidin for NPCs was 94.78 µM, and cyanidin had no toxicity at concentrations up to 500 mg/kg in SD rats. Cyanidin inhibited the apoptosis of NPCs induced by IL-1β (12.73 ± 0.61% vs. 18.54 ± 0.60%), promoted collagen II (0.82-fold) and aggrecan (0.81-fold) expression, while reducing MMP-13 (1.02-fold) and ADAMTS-5 (1.40-fold) expression. Cyanidin increased the formation of autophagosomes in IL-1β-induced NPCs, and promoted LC3II/LC3I (0.83-fold) and beclin-1 (0.85-fold) expression, which could be reversed by chloroquine. Cyanidin inhibited the phosphorylation of JAK2 (0.47-fold) and STAT3 (0.53-fold) in IL-1β-induced NPCs. The effects of cyanidin could be enhanced by AG490. Furthermore, cyanidin mitigated disc degeneration in IVDD rats in vivo.Discussion and conclusionsCyanidin improved the function of NPCs in IVDD by regulating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, which may provide a novel alternative strategy for IVDD. The mechanism of cyanidin improving IVDD still needs further work for in-depth investigation. 相似文献
