Aloe perryi (AP) has gained considerable interest as a medicinal herb in various biological applications due to its rich phytochemical composition. However, the therapeutic benefits of AP could be potentiated by utilizing nanotechnology. Moreover, cationic solid lipid nanoparticles (CSLNs) possess remarkable characteristics that can greatly enrich a variety of biological uses. An optimization approach was used to achieve high-quality CSLNs to maximize the therapeutic efficacy of AP. Therefore, a factorial design was used to investigate the influence of various variables on the attributes of CSLNs quality. In this study, the factors under investigation were compritol 888 ATO (C-888, X1), poloxamer 188 (PL188, X2), and chitosan (CS, X3), which served as independent variables. The parameters measured as dependent variables included particle size (Y1), zeta potential (Y2), and encapsulation efficiency EE (Y3). The relationship among these variables was determined by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and response surface plots. The results revealed that PL188 played a significant role in reducing the particle size of CSLNS (ranging from 207 to 261 nm with 1 % PL188 to 167-229 nm with 3 % PL188). Conversely, an increase in the concentration of CS led to a rise in the particle size. The magnitude of positive zeta potential values was dependent on the increased concentration of CS. Moreover, the higher amounts of C-888 and PL188 improved the EE% of the CSLNs from 42 % to 86 %. Furthermore, a concentration-dependent antioxidant effect of the optimized AP-CSLNs was observed. The antioxidant activity of the optimized AP-CSLNs at 100 μg/mL was 75 % compared to 62 % and 60 % for AP-SLNs and AP solution, respectively. A similar pattern of improvement was also observed with antimicrobial, and anticancer activities of the optimized AP-CSLNs. These findings demonstrated the potential of AP-CSLNs as a carrier system, enhancing the biological activities of AP, opening new possibilities in herbal medicines.
佩里芦荟(AP)由于其丰富的植物化学成分,在各种生物应用中作为一种药草引起了广泛关注。然而,利用纳米技术可以增强AP的治疗效果。此外,阳离子固体脂质纳米粒(CSLNs)具有显著特性,可极大地丰富各种生物用途。采用一种优化方法来制备高质量的CSLNs,以最大限度地提高AP的治疗效果。因此,采用析因设计来研究各种变量对CSLNs质量属性的影响。在本研究中,所研究的因素为癸二酸甘油酯888 ATO(C-888,X1)、泊洛沙姆188(PL188,X2)和壳聚糖(CS,X3),它们作为自变量。作为因变量测量的参数包括粒径(Y1)、zeta电位(Y2)和包封率EE(Y3)。通过方差分析(ANOVA)和响应面图确定这些变量之间的关系。结果表明,PL188在降低CSLNS的粒径方面起重要作用(1%PL188时粒径范围为207至261nm,3%PL188时为167 - 229nm)。相反,CS浓度的增加导致粒径增大。正zeta电位值的大小取决于CS浓度的增加。此外,较高含量的C-888和PL188将CSLNs的EE%从42%提高到了86%。此外,观察到优化后的AP-CSLNs具有浓度依赖性抗氧化作用。优化后的AP-CSLNs在100μg/mL时的抗氧化活性为75%,而AP-SLNs和AP溶液分别为62%和60%。在优化后的AP-CSLNs的抗菌和抗癌活性方面也观察到了类似的改善模式。这些发现证明了AP-CSLNs作为一种载体系统的潜力,增强了AP的生物活性,为草药开辟了新的可能性。
