Over the past years, temperature and pH-sensitive hydrogels was developed as suitable carriers for drug delivery. In this study temperature and pH-sensitive hydrogels was designed for an oral insulin delivery modeling.
NIPAAm-MAA -HEM copolymers were synthesized by radical chain reaction with 86:4:10 (5% w/v) ratios respectively. Reaction was carried out in 1,4-Dioxane under Nitrogen gas-flow. The copolymers were characterized with FT-IR, 1H-NMR and DSC. Copolymers were loaded with regular insulin by modified double emulsion method with ratio of 1:10. Release study carried out in two different pH (pH=2 and 7.4 for stomach and intestine simulation respectively) at 37ºC. For each pH, a 5 mL suspension of the insulin containing hydrogel was taken in to a cellulose acetate dialysis membrane, and the dialysis membrane was allowed to float in a beaker containing 15 mL of buffer solution. The beakers were placed in a shaker incubator maintained at 37ºC. Phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 3)/ acetonitrile (60/40) was used as the mobile phase in HPLC assay.
Yield of reaction was 86% with an optimum Lower Critical Solution Temperature point (30ºC). In-vitro studies showed a control release behavior via pH changes which the amount of insulin releases was 80% and 20% at pH=2 and 7.4 respectively.
Results showed that by optimizing polymerization and loading method we could achieve a suitable nano system for oral delivery of insulin.
在过去的几年中,温度和 pH 敏感水凝胶已被开发为适合药物输送的载体。本研究设计了温度和 pH 敏感水凝胶,用于模拟口服胰岛素输送。
采用自由基链反应,以 86:4:10(5%w/v)的比例分别合成 NIPAAm-MAA-HEM 共聚物。反应在氮气气流下于 1,4-二恶烷中进行。共聚物用 FT-IR、1H-NMR 和 DSC 进行表征。共聚物通过改良的双乳液法用 1:10 的比例负载普通胰岛素。在 37°C 下在两种不同的 pH(分别为 pH=2 和 7.4,模拟胃和肠)下进行释放研究。对于每种 pH,将含有胰岛素的水凝胶的 5 mL 悬浮液置于纤维素乙酸酯透析膜中,并允许透析膜漂浮在装有 15 mL 缓冲溶液的烧杯中。将烧杯放置在保持在 37°C 的摇床孵育器中。HPLC 测定中使用磷酸盐缓冲液(0.1 M,pH 3)/乙腈(60/40)作为流动相。
反应收率为 86%,最佳下临界溶液温度点(30°C)。体外研究表明,通过 pH 值的变化可以实现控制释放行为,在 pH=2 和 7.4 时胰岛素的释放量分别为 80%和 20%。
结果表明,通过优化聚合和负载方法,我们可以为口服胰岛素输送开发出合适的纳米系统。
