Paclitaxel (PTX), categorized as a BCS Class IV anti-tumor agent, is integral to clinical treatment, however, the insolubility of PTX leads to diminished bioavailability. Resveratrol (RES), a bioactive compound present in various dietary sources, has the potential to augment the anti-tumor effectiveness of PTX. This research aims to formulate a co-amorphous system consisting of PTX and RES to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of PTX. The co-amorphous system was synthesized via the solvent evaporation technique and subsequently characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, Raman spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. Molecular dynamics simulations illustrated the interactions between PTX and RES, which facilitated an increase in apparent solubility and in vitro dissolution rates. Furthermore, in vitro cytotoxicity assays, Caco-2 cell model studies, and in vivo anti-tumor experiments demonstrated that the PTX-RES combination exhibited enhanced anti-tumor efficacy relative to other treatment groups. Pharmacokinetic evaluations revealed that the oral bioavailability of the PTX-RES complex surpassed that of pure PTX. These findings substantiate that the PTX-RES co-amorphous system significantly improves the physicochemical properties and anti-tumor activity of PTX. Additionally, this study presents a promising approach for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of compounds with poor solubility.
紫杉醇(PTX)属于BCS IV类抗肿瘤药物,是临床治疗中不可或缺的药物,然而,PTX的不溶性导致其生物利用度降低。白藜芦醇(RES)是一种存在于多种膳食来源中的生物活性化合物,具有增强PTX抗肿瘤效果的潜力。本研究旨在制备一种由PTX和RES组成的共无定形体系,以提高PTX的溶解度和生物利用度。通过溶剂蒸发技术合成了共无定形体系,随后使用粉末X射线衍射、傅里叶变换红外光谱、差示扫描量热法、拉曼光谱和热分析对其进行了表征。分子动力学模拟表明了PTX与RES之间的相互作用,这促进了表观溶解度和体外溶解速率的增加。此外,体外细胞毒性试验、Caco-2细胞模型研究和体内抗肿瘤实验表明,PTX-RES组合相对于其他治疗组表现出增强的抗肿瘤疗效。药代动力学评估显示,PTX-RES复合物的口服生物利用度超过了纯PTX。这些发现证实,PTX-RES共无定形体系显著改善了PTX的物理化学性质和抗肿瘤活性。此外,本研究为提高难溶性化合物的溶解度和生物利用度提供了一种有前景的方法。
