Huntington's disease (HD) is an incorrigible neuropsychiatric disorder with reduced cognition and motor abnormalities. Piperine (PIP) is an alkaloid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective activities; however, poor therapeutic efficacy limits its further use. The current study focuses on the enhanced therapeutic potential of PIP@CM against an experimental zebrafish model of HD. PIP@CM was fabricated using spray drying technology, followed by solid-state investigations. We performed in vitro release and in vitro antioxidant activity (DPPH assay) of PIP and PIP@CMs. In addition, in vivo studies were conducted on zebrafish using 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) (60 mg/kg) as a neurotoxin and treated with PIP (5 mg/kg) and PIP@CM (25 mg/kg equivalent to 5 mg/kg PIP). After dosing, various in vivo studies (behavioral, biochemical, and histological) were conducted. The solid-state characterization techniques revealed the loss of crystallinity after micelles formation. In vitro release and antioxidant assays showed higher release and enhanced activity of PIP@CM. In vivo studies revealed that 3-NPA administration causes HD, as evidenced by the results of open field test (OFT) and novel tank diving test (NTD) tests. Moreover, 3-NPA causes an increase in oxidative stress, as confirmed by biochemical and histopathological studies. PIP@CM treatment significantly improved behavioral performance in OFT and NTD tests and reduced oxidative stress markers as compared to pure PIP and untreated HD model.
亨廷顿舞蹈症(HD)是一种无法治愈的神经精神疾病,伴有认知能力下降和运动异常。胡椒碱(PIP)是一种具有抗氧化、抗炎和神经保护活性的生物碱;然而,较差的治疗效果限制了其进一步应用。当前的研究聚焦于PIP@CM对HD实验性斑马鱼模型增强的治疗潜力。采用喷雾干燥技术制备PIP@CM,随后进行固态研究。我们对PIP和PIP@CM进行了体外释放和体外抗氧化活性(DPPH测定)。此外,以3-硝基丙酸(3-NPA)(60毫克/千克)作为神经毒素对斑马鱼进行体内研究,并用PIP(5毫克/千克)和PIP@CM(25毫克/千克,相当于5毫克/千克PIP)进行治疗。给药后,进行了各种体内研究(行为学、生物化学和组织学)。固态表征技术显示形成胶束后结晶度丧失。体外释放和抗氧化试验表明PIP@CM具有更高的释放率和增强的活性。体内研究表明,3-NPA给药会导致HD,旷场试验(OFT)和新水箱潜水试验(NTD)的结果证明了这一点。此外,生化和组织病理学研究证实,3-NPA会导致氧化应激增加。与纯PIP和未治疗的HD模型相比,PIP@CM治疗显著改善了OFT和NTD试验中的行为表现,并降低了氧化应激标志物。
