Curcumin and resveratrol are natural compounds with significant anticancer activity; however, their bioavailability is limited due to poor solubility. This study aimed to overcome the solubility problem by means of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN). 2-Hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) was selected from a range of polymers based on miscibility and molecular interactions. SLNs were obtained by probe sonication and freeze-drying curcumin-resveratrol with/without HPβCD incorporated in gelucire 50/13. SLNs were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and physical stability. The in vitro release of drugs from the SLNs was performed by the direct dispersion method and analyzed using a validated UV-visible method. In vitro efficacy was tested using a colorectal cancer cell line. Curcumin-resveratrol-gelucire 50/13-HPβCD (CRG-CD) and curcumin-resveratrol-gelucire 50/13(CRG) SLNs showed a particle size from 100 to 150 nm and were not in the crystalline state per PXRD results. MDSC results complimented PXRD results by the absence of melting endotherm of curcumin; TGA showed no weight loss, confirming the absence of organic solvent residual, and the shape of the SLNs was confirmed as spherical by SEM. CRG SLNs were stable for 21 days with respect to particle size and zeta potential. MTT assay indicated better IC value for CRG as compared to CRG-CD. Hence, novel SLNs of curcumin and resveratrol incorporated in gelucire 50/13 and HPβCD were prepared and characterized to improve their bioavailability and anticancer activity.
姜黄素和白藜芦醇是具有显著抗癌活性的天然化合物;然而,由于其溶解度差,生物利用度有限。本研究旨在通过固体脂质纳米粒(SLN)克服溶解度问题。从一系列聚合物中选择 2-羟丙基-β-环糊精(HPβCD),基于其混溶性和分子相互作用。通过探针超声和冷冻干燥法制备姜黄素-白藜芦醇 SLN,其中含有/不含有掺入到 Gelucire 50/13 中的 HPβCD。通过动态光散射(DLS)、zeta 电位、粉末 X 射线衍射(PXRD)、差示扫描量热法(DSC)、热重分析(TGA)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和物理稳定性对 SLN 进行表征。通过直接分散法进行药物从 SLN 中的体外释放,并使用经过验证的紫外可见法进行分析。使用结直肠癌细胞系测试体外功效。姜黄素-白藜芦醇- Gelucire 50/13-HPβCD(CRG-CD)和姜黄素-白藜芦醇- Gelucire 50/13(CRG)SLN 的粒径为 100-150nm,且根据 PXRD 结果,其未处于结晶状态。MDSC 结果通过不存在姜黄素的熔融吸热峰补充了 PXRD 结果;TGA 表明无有机溶剂残留,并且 SLN 的形状通过 SEM 确认为球形。CRG SLN 在 21 天内粒径和 zeta 电位稳定。MTT 测定表明,与 CRG-CD 相比,CRG 的 IC 值更好。因此,制备并表征了掺入 Gelucire 50/13 和 HPβCD 的姜黄素和白藜芦醇的新型 SLN,以提高其生物利用度和抗癌活性。
