This study hypothesizes that phospholipid-based naturosoomal nanocarriers can significantly enhance the oral solubility and bioavailability of naringin (NARNs) by improving its absorption and pharmacokinetic profile. The NARNs were prepared using solvent evaporation techniques employing a quality-by-design approach followed by physicochemical (UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR, DSC, XRD, SEM, TEM, PS, ZP analysis), functional (EE, apparent solubility, in-vitro drug release study) characterization and pharmacokinetic investigation. NARNs showed 91.15 ± 1.40% EE, with 12-fold aqueous solubility than the pure drug, i.e., naringin (NAR). The size of the NARNs vesicles was between 150 and 300 nm, demonstrating the controlled vesicle size, whereas the zeta potential and polydispersity index were -32.2 mV and 0.524, respectively signifying the excellent stability and homogeneity of naturosomal suspension. The NARNs in-vitro dissolution data demonstrated a superior release profile (92.12%) compared to pure NAR (38.90%) and physical mixture (43.72%). The pharmacokinetic parameters of NARN in the rabbit showed promising results (T = 2.0 h, C = 1.76 ± 0.10 µg/mL, and AUC = 14.22 ± 0.13 µg/mL h). Thus, overall results indicated that naturosomal drug delivery is a capable method for improving the drug release profile of NAR and oral bioavailability, reducing toxicity by minimizing dose size.
本研究假设,基于磷脂的天然脂质体纳米载体可通过改善柚皮苷(NARNs)的吸收和药代动力学特征,显著提高其口服溶解度和生物利用度。采用溶剂蒸发技术,运用质量源于设计的方法制备NARNs,随后进行物理化学表征(紫外可见光谱、傅里叶变换红外光谱、差示扫描量热法、X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、粒度分析、ζ电位分析)、功能表征(包封率、表观溶解度、体外药物释放研究)及药代动力学研究。NARNs的包封率为91.15±1.40%,其水溶解度是纯药物即柚皮苷(NAR)的12倍。NARNs囊泡大小在150至300nm之间,表明囊泡大小可控,而ζ电位和多分散指数分别为-32.2mV和0.524,分别表明天然脂质体悬浮液具有优异的稳定性和均一性。NARNs的体外溶出数据显示,与纯NAR(38.90%)和物理混合物(43.72%)相比,其释放曲线更佳(92.12%)。NARN在兔体内的药代动力学参数显示出良好结果(T=2.0小时,C=1.76±0.10μg/mL,AUC=14.22±0.13μg/mL·h)。因此,总体结果表明,天然脂质体给药是一种能够改善NAR药物释放曲线和口服生物利用度、通过最小化剂量来降低毒性的方法。
