Abstract

Although the introduction of glycerosomes has enriched strategies for efficient transdermal drug delivery, the inclusion of cholesterol as a membrane stabilizer has limited their clinical application. The current study describes the development and optimization of a new type of glycerosome (S-glycerosome) that is formed in glycerol solution with β-sitosterol as the stabilizer. Moreover, the transdermal permeation properties of lappaconitine (LA)-loaded S-glycerosomes and peppermint oil (PO)-mediated S-glycerosomes (PO-S-glycerosomes) are evaluated, and the lipid alterations in the stratum corneum are analyzed via lipidomics. The LA-loaded S-glycerosomes prepared by the preferred formulation from the uniform design have a mean size of 145.3 ± 7.81 nm and an encapsulation efficiency of 73.14 ± 0.35%. Moreover, the addition of PO positively impacts transdermal flux, peaking at 0.4% (w/v) PO. Tracing of the fluorescent probe P4 further revealed that PO-S-glycerosomes penetrate deeper into the skin than S-glycerosomes and conventional liposomes. Additionally, treatment with PO-S-glycerosomes alters the isoform type, number, and composition of sphingolipids, glycerophospholipids, glycerolipids, and fatty acids in the stratum corneum, with the most notable effect observed for ceramides, the main component of sphingolipids. Furthermore, the transdermal administration of LA-loaded PO-S-glycerosomes improved the treatment efficacy of xylene-induced inflammation in mice without skin irritation. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the feasibility of β-sitosterol as a stabilizer in glycerosomes. Additionally, the inclusion of PO improves the transdermal permeation of S-glycerosomes, potentially by altering the stratum corneum lipids.

摘要

尽管甘油体的引入丰富了高效经皮药物传递的策略,但胆固醇作为膜稳定剂的加入限制了它们的临床应用。本研究描述了一种新型甘油体(S-甘油体)的开发和优化,该甘油体在含有 β-谷甾醇作为稳定剂的甘油溶液中形成。此外,评价了载莱菔子碱(LA)的 S-甘油体和薄荷油(PO)介导的 S-甘油体(PO-S-甘油体)的经皮渗透特性,并通过脂质组学分析角质层中的脂质变化。通过均匀设计优选的配方制备的载 LA 的 S-甘油体的平均粒径为 145.3±7.81nm,包封效率为 73.14±0.35%。此外,PO 的加入对经皮通量有积极影响,在 0.4%(w/v)PO 时达到峰值。荧光探针 P4 的示踪进一步表明,PO-S-甘油体比 S-甘油体和普通脂质体更深地渗透到皮肤中。此外,PO-S-甘油体处理改变了角质层中神经酰胺、鞘脂、甘油磷脂、甘油酯和脂肪酸的异构型、数量和组成,其中鞘脂的主要成分神经酰胺的变化最为显著。此外,载 LA 的 PO-S-甘油体经皮给药可改善二甲苯诱导的小鼠炎症的治疗效果,而无皮肤刺激。综上所述,这些发现表明 β-谷甾醇作为甘油体稳定剂的可行性。此外,PO 的加入改善了 S-甘油体的经皮渗透,可能是通过改变角质层脂质。
