Ebselen (Eb) is an example of a repurposed drug with poor aqueous solubility which requires sophisticated delivery system such as nanoencapsulation in nanocapsules for topical application.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Eb-nanocapsules were examined for morphology, activity against Candida spp., cytotoxicity and skin permeation.
Eb-nanocapsules were active against skin-infecting Candida tropicalis, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis yeasts (minimal inhibitory concentration values were about 4-, 2- and 1.25-times lower vs free Eb, respectively) and able to suppress induced lipid oxidation in the oil/water emulsion. Moreover, demonstrated minimal toxicity in normal human dermal fibroblast cell line, whereas ex vivo skin permeation studies showed no transdermal passage and strong interactions with stratum corneum.
Eb-nanocapsules represent a promising, safe and complementary alternative to the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis.
依布硒啉(Eb)是一种已被重新定位的药物,水溶性较差,需要复杂的输送系统,如纳米胶囊中的纳米封装,以用于局部应用。
研究了 Eb-纳米胶囊的形态、对念珠菌属的活性、细胞毒性和皮肤渗透。
Eb-纳米胶囊对皮肤感染的热带念珠菌、白色念珠菌和近平滑念珠菌酵母菌具有活性(最小抑菌浓度值分别比游离 Eb 低约 4 倍、2 倍和 1.25 倍),并能抑制油/水乳液中诱导的脂质氧化。此外,在正常的人真皮成纤维细胞系中表现出最小的毒性,而体外皮肤渗透研究表明没有经皮传递,并且与角质层有强烈的相互作用。
Eb-纳米胶囊为治疗皮肤念珠菌病提供了一种有前途的、安全的、互补的替代方法。
