The present study aimed to develop and characterize liposome nanocarriers based on γ oryzanol and evaluate their potential and toxicity and antioxidant effects. The liposomes were physicochemically characterized using various techniques, including dynamic light scattering (DLS) for size and polydispersity index (PDI) measurements and ζ-potential analysis. The toxicity assessments were performed using hemolysis and MTT assays on the HS5 cell line. , acute oral toxicity was evaluated by using LD assays in mice. Additionally, antioxidant activity was assessed through biochemical analysis of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels and liver tissue catalase, malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione (GSH) levels. The results revealed that the liposomes exhibited a uniform and spherical morphology with suitable physicochemical properties for drug delivery applications. The cytotoxicity and hemolysis assays and the LD experiment indicated the potential safety of γ oryzanol liposomes, especially at lower concentrations. In addition, the assessment of liver enzymes, i.e., ALT and AST, and the antioxidant markers further revealed the safety of the formulation, particularly for the liver as a highly sensitive soft organ. Overall, the liposome nanocarriers based on γ oryzanol were successfully formulated and expressed potential safety, supporting their application for the purposes of drug delivery and therapeutic interventions, particularly for hepatocellular and antioxidant therapies; however, further investigations for preclinical and clinical studies could be the future prospects for liposome nanocarriers based on γ oryzanol to explore the safety and efficacy of these nanocarriers in various disease models and clinical settings.
本研究旨在开发并表征基于γ谷维素的脂质体纳米载体,并评估其潜力、毒性和抗氧化作用。使用多种技术对脂质体进行物理化学表征,包括用于测量粒径和多分散指数(PDI)的动态光散射(DLS)以及ζ电位分析。使用溶血和MTT试验对HS5细胞系进行毒性评估。此外,通过在小鼠中进行LD试验来评估急性口服毒性。另外,通过对血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)和天冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)水平以及肝组织过氧化氢酶、丙二醛(MDA)和谷胱甘肽(GSH)水平进行生化分析来评估抗氧化活性。结果显示,脂质体呈现出均匀的球形形态,具有适合药物递送应用的物理化学性质。细胞毒性和溶血试验以及LD实验表明γ谷维素脂质体具有潜在的安全性,尤其是在较低浓度下。此外,对肝酶即ALT和AST以及抗氧化标志物的评估进一步揭示了该制剂的安全性,特别是对于肝脏这个高度敏感的柔软器官。总体而言,基于γ谷维素的脂质体纳米载体已成功制备并显示出潜在的安全性,支持其用于药物递送和治疗干预,特别是用于肝细胞和抗氧化治疗;然而,基于γ谷维素的脂质体纳米载体在临床前和临床研究方面的进一步研究可能是未来探索这些纳米载体在各种疾病模型和临床环境中的安全性和有效性的前景。
