Oral administration of protein-based biologics faces challenges such as low bioavailability and a short half-life in the gastrointestinal tract. This study focuses on developing a novel encapsulation technique using sodium alginate and chitosan to create nanospheres that efficiently deliver bovine serum albumin, a model protein. Through a combination of single-factor and response surface experiments, optimal preparation conditions were identified, yielding stable nanospheres with high encapsulation rates and small particle sizes. The release of the protein was pH-dependent, with more substantial release under alkaline conditions, resembling the environment of the colon. In vitro safety testing confirmed that the nanospheres had low toxicity and did not induce significant hemolysis or cell death. This approach demonstrates significant potential for enhancing the oral bioavailability of protein-based drugs, overcoming the typical challenges faced by oral drug delivery systems. The developed formulation offers a simple yet effective method for targeted colonic delivery, representing a promising strategy for improving the clinical efficiency of protein biologics.
口服基于蛋白质的生物制剂面临着生物利用度低和在胃肠道中半衰期短等挑战。本研究专注于开发一种使用海藻酸钠和壳聚糖的新型包封技术,以制备能够有效递送模型蛋白牛血清白蛋白的纳米球。通过单因素实验和响应面实验相结合,确定了最佳制备条件,得到了具有高包封率和小粒径的稳定纳米球。蛋白质的释放依赖于pH值,在碱性条件下释放量更大,类似于结肠的环境。体外安全性测试证实,纳米球具有低毒性,不会引起明显的溶血或细胞死亡。这种方法在提高基于蛋白质的药物口服生物利用度方面显示出巨大潜力,克服了口服给药系统面临的典型挑战。所开发的制剂为靶向结肠递送提供了一种简单而有效的方法,是提高蛋白质生物制剂临床疗效的一种有前景的策略。
