Atherosclerosis complications such as myocardial infarction or stroke are among
the most rising health concern and remain as the major causes of death that
require optimal treatment strategies. The corresponding natural and synthetic
anti-atherosclerosis drugs of proanthocyanidin (PAC) and atorvastatin (ATV)
which have higher antioxidant properties are known to minimize atherosclerotic
plaque progression. Lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LLCNPs) recently
receive a great deal of interest as a potential drug delivery platform that offers
unique self-assembled internal structures, leading to an effective loading and
controlled delivery of bioactive materials. Our current research involved
formulation and characterization of soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and citric acid
ester of monoglyceride (citrem), which are employed in the formation of ATVLLCNPs
and PAC-LLCNPs. The main objectives of this research are to (1)
characterize the crystalline nanostructural properties, polydispersity index (PDI),
potential electrical charge on the nanoparticle surface, average particle size,
morphological shape characteristics, and potential interaction of ATV-LLCNPs
and PAC-LLCNPs (2) evaluate the encapsulation efficiency of ATV and PAC into
LLCNPs, (3) analyze the drugs release profile from LLCNPs and (4) investigate
the in vitro cell studies of PAC-LLCNPs in macrophage cells. We further showed
that varying citrem/SPC content of LLCNPs, ATV-LLCNPs, and PAC-LLCNPs
triggers an internal phase of inverse micellar (L2) phase (emulsified
microemulsions, EMEs), hexosomes (H2) and biphasic phase (internal H2 phase
coexisting with L2 phase). The hexosomes in ATV-LLCNPs and PAC-LLCNPs,
with the exception of the CS1:1+ATV system, are structurally stable for 30 days,
and there were no noticeable structural alterations for LLCNPs. The lattice
parameter also remained stable for a period of 90 days. Smaller range of particle
size was observed for the LLCNPs (171.0 to 179.0 nm) as compared to the ATVLLCNPs
and PAC-LLCNPs (187.0 to 138.0 nm). The zeta potential of the LLCNPs, ATV-LLCNPs and PAC-LLCNPs produced were -25.4 to -30.3 mV and
-18.7 to -27.4 mV, respectively, which suggested that the nanoparticles
demonstrate stable colloidal dispersion of LLCNPs system. Differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC) analysis of ATV-LLCNPs and PAC-LLCNPs revealed a shift
in phase transition, indicating a more stable nanoparticles compared to LLCNPs.
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis demonstrated the
formation of an ester bond between SPC and citrem via the C=C stretch,
interactions between phenolic hydroxyl of PAC and carboxylic acid from
citrem/SPC via the H-OH stretch, and the interactions between ATV and citric
acid from citrem/SPC via the N-H and O-H stretch. ATV and PAC were
successfully encapsulated into LLCNPs nanoparticles, which evidences the
higher loading efficiency of more than 93% encapsulation in all formulations. The
sustained release of ATV-LLCNPs were obtained at 60 % and reached plateau
after 5 days, whereas the maximum released of PAC-LLCNPs were obtained at
27% and reached plateau after 2 days, were determined by the
pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic properties of the respective drug.
PAC-LLCNPs, which showed more than 80% cells viability at 150 mg/mL were
then proceed for further in vitro test. PAC-LLCNPs demonstrated the presence
of lipid droplets (LDs) formation in macrophages cells, in a time-dependent
manner. The cytokine studies showed that the PAC-LLCNPs promisingly up
regulate the expressions of TNF-α better than the LLCNPs and ATV-LLCNPs
samples, due to the differences in viscoelastic behavior of non-lamellar phase
LLCNPs. This study proposed the promising stable non-lamellar PAC-LLCNPs
as a potential nanocarrier for drug delivery projecting great encapsulation,
sustained release and in vitro cellular activities against atherosclerosis
complications. |
