Vitamin D-loaded lipid nanoparticles (Vit D-LNP), integrated into an azulene cream, were developed to enhance the topical delivery and stability of Vitamin D. The LNP was formulated using a lipid mixture and hot homogenization-ultrasonication, with comprehensive characterization revealing a particle size of 153.9 nm, a high zeta potential (-54.3 mV), and a PDI of 0.216, which TEM confirmed. Encapsulation efficiency was high (96.98%), indicating successful incorporation of Vitamin D within the lipid matrix. Stability studies revealed the impact of light exposure on Vitamin D degradation. In vitro, release, and skin penetration studies using Franz diffusion cells and two-photon microscopy demonstrated enhanced drug permeation and retention in deeper skin layers with the cream formulation. Cell Viability test confirmed high cell viability (~ 80-100%) for both free Vitamin D and the LNP formulation; also inflammation test showed a significant reduction in ROS levels with Vitamin D-LNP treatment. These findings highlight the therapeutic value of LNP in managing conditions like Vitiligo, providing insights into the design of stable, effective Vitamin D delivery systems for dermal applications, and offering a promising approach for advanced skin treatments.
将负载维生素D的脂质纳米颗粒(Vit D-LNP)整合到一种薁类乳膏中,以提高维生素D的局部递送和稳定性。脂质纳米颗粒采用脂质混合物和热均质-超声法制备,全面表征显示粒径为153.9 nm,高zeta电位(-54.3 mV),多分散指数为0.216,透射电子显微镜(TEM)证实了这一点。包封率很高(96.98%),表明维生素D成功地掺入脂质基质中。稳定性研究揭示了光照对维生素D降解的影响。使用Franz扩散池和双光子显微镜进行的体外释放和皮肤渗透研究表明,乳膏制剂可增强药物在更深层皮肤中的渗透和滞留。细胞活力测试证实游离维生素D和脂质纳米颗粒制剂的细胞活力都很高(约80-100%);炎症测试还表明,维生素D-LNP处理可显著降低活性氧水平。这些发现突出了脂质纳米颗粒在治疗白癜风等病症方面的治疗价值,为设计用于皮肤应用的稳定、有效的维生素D递送系统提供了见解,并为先进的皮肤治疗提供了一种有前景的方法。
