This study aimed to investigate the action of two different formulations of curcumin (Cur)-loaded nanocapsules (Nc) (Eudragit [EUD] and poly (ɛ-caprolactone) [PCL]) in an amnesia mice model. We also investigated the formulations' effects on scopolamine-induced (SCO) depressive- and anxiety-like comorbidities, the cholinergic system, oxidative parameters, and inflammatory markers. Male Swiss mice were randomly divided into five groups (n = 8): group I (control), group II (Cur PCL Nc 10 mg/kg), group III (Cur EUD Nc 10 mg/kg), group IV (free Cur 10 mg/kg), and group V (SCO). Treatments with Nc or Cur (free) were performed daily or on alternate days. After 30 min of treatment, the animals received the SCO and were subjected to behavioral tests 30 min later (Barnes maze, open-field, object recognition, elevated plus maze, tail suspension tests, and step-down inhibitory avoidance tasks). The animals were then euthanized and tissue was removed for biochemical assays. Our results demonstrated that Cur treatment (Nc or free) protected against SCO-induced amnesia and depressive-like behavior. The ex vivo assays revealed lower acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and catalase (CAT) activity, reduced thiobarbituric species (TBARS), reactive species (RS), and non-protein thiols (NSPH) levels, and reduced interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) expression. The treatments did not change hepatic markers in the plasma of mice. After treatments on alternate days, Cur Nc had a more significant effect than the free Cur protocol, implying that Cur may have prolonged action in Nc. This finding supports the concept that it is possible to achieve beneficial effects in nanoformulations, and treatment on alternate days differs from the free Cur protocol regarding anti-amnesic effects in mice.
这项研究旨在探究两种不同姜黄素(Cur)负载纳米胶囊(Nc)制剂(Eudragit [EUD]和聚(ε-己内酯)[PCL])在记忆障碍小鼠模型中的作用。我们还研究了这些制剂对东莨菪碱(SCO)诱导的抑郁和焦虑共病、胆碱能系统、氧化参数和炎症标志物的影响。雄性瑞士小鼠被随机分为五组(n = 8):第 I 组(对照组)、第 II 组(Cur PCL Nc 10 mg/kg)、第 III 组(Cur EUD Nc 10 mg/kg)、第 IV 组(游离 Cur 10 mg/kg)和第 V 组(SCO)。Nc 或 Cur(游离)的处理每天或隔天进行一次。治疗 30 分钟后,动物接受 SCO 处理,30 分钟后进行行为测试(巴恩斯迷宫、旷场、物体识别、高架十字迷宫、悬尾试验和跳下抑制回避任务)。然后处死动物并取出组织进行生化测定。结果表明,Cur 处理(Nc 或游离)可预防 SCO 诱导的记忆障碍和抑郁样行为。体外试验显示乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性降低,硫代巴比妥酸反应物(TBARS)、活性氧(RS)和非蛋白巯基(NSPH)水平降低,白细胞介素-6(IL-6)和肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)表达降低。这些治疗方法未改变小鼠血浆中的肝标志物。隔日治疗后,Cur Nc 的效果比游离 Cur 方案更显著,表明 Cur 在 Nc 中可能具有更长的作用。这一发现支持了这样一种观点,即在纳米制剂中可以实现有益的效果,并且隔日治疗与游离 Cur 方案在小鼠的抗记忆障碍作用方面存在差异。
