摘要:


文题释义:

功能化自组装胶束:自组装胶束是一种由分子自发形成的热力学稳定纳米级胶状团聚体,分子在溶液中达到一定浓度时通过疏水基团与亲水基团相互作用,以非共价键方式进行组装,形成具有特定结构和功能的纳米载体,同时在载体结构中共聚或修饰添加具有特定功能的化学集团,可赋予胶束新的性质与功能,使其具有靶向、渗透、示踪等功能。
皮肤色素沉着:是指局部皮肤因黑色素增加而变得比周围皮肤颜色更深。皮肤色素沉着的常见原因包括紫外线暴露、炎症后色素沉着、激素变化、遗传因素和药物反应。皮肤色素沉着虽通常无害,但会影响皮肤外观并给患者带来社交压力,日渐成为医学界与美容界研究热点之一。


背景:氨甲环酸局部给药可用于改善皮肤色素沉着,但氨甲环酸极性大,局部给药时难以突破皮肤角质层屏障和细胞膜,皮下蓄积不易达到有效治疗浓度。

目的:设计功能化自组装胶束,增强氨甲环酸抗皮肤色素沉着作用。
方法:采用植物多酚衍生物表没食子儿茶素没食子酸棕榈酸酯与二甲双胍作为载体材料,通过氢键与静电作用自组装包载氨甲环酸,制备具有协同对抗色素沉着活性和增强药物渗透性能的载药自组装胶束;检测载药自组装胶束的纳米特性及稳定性,评价载药自组装胶束体外经皮渗透性能,考察载药自组装胶束的生物安全性和细胞水平效应。

结果与结论:①载药自组装胶束的平均粒径为(176.27±5.23) nm,多分散系数为0.23±0.02,Zeta电位为(-25.67±0.98) mV,具有良好的稳定性,载药自组装胶束中氨甲环酸、二甲双胍质量浓度分别为(20.03±0.12),(6.67±0.08) mg/mL,载药自组装胶束对氨甲环酸和二甲双胍的载药量分别为(19.97±0.12)%,(6.65±0.08)%;②体外透皮实验结果显示,与氨甲环酸比较,载药自组装胶束具有更高的单位皮肤面积透过量和皮内贮留量,能渗透并扩散至皮肤更深层部位;③MTT检测结果显示,含氨甲环酸50-250 μg/mL 的载药自组装胶束对小鼠成纤维细胞与小鼠皮肤黑色素瘤细胞均无毒性作用,含氨甲环酸500 μg/mL的载药自组装胶束对小鼠皮肤黑色素瘤细胞有轻微毒性作用;含氨甲环酸50-500 μg/mL的载药自组装胶束未引发溶血反应,具有良好的生物安全性;④体外细胞培养结果显示,含氨甲环酸500 μg/mL的载药自组装胶束可显著抑制小鼠皮肤黑色素瘤细胞的酪氨酸酶活性及黑色素释放,并且抑制作用强于单独的氨甲环酸溶液与二甲双胍溶液。结果表明,功能化自组装胶束能协同氨甲环酸抑制酪氨酸酶活性、减少黑色素合成,增强氨甲环酸抗皮肤色素沉着效应。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Topical administration of tranexamic acid can be used for anti-skin pigmentation, but its large polarity makes it difficult to break through the cuticle barrier and cell membrane when administered topically, and the subcutaneous accumulation concentration is not easy to reach the effective therapeutic concentration.
OBJECTIVE: To design functionalized self-assembled micelles to enhance the anti-pigmentation effect of tranexamic acid. 
METHODS: The plant polyphenol derivative epigallocatechin gallate palmitate and metformin were used as carrier materials. The self-assembled micelles with synergistic anti-pigging activity and enhanced drug permeability were prepared by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction. The nanoscale properties and stability of self-assembled drug-loaded micelles were tested, and their transdermal permeability was evaluated, and their biocompatibility and cellular effects were investigated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Functional self-assembled drug-carrying micelles with average particle size of (176.27±5.23) nm, polydispersity coefficient of 0.23±0.02, and the Zeta potential of (-25.67±0.98) mV had good stability. The mass concentrations of tranexamic acid and metformin in the self-assembled drug-carrying micelles were (20.03±0.12) and (6.67±0.08) mg/mL, respectively. The drug loadings of tranexamic acid and metformin in the self-assembled drug-carrying micelles were (19.97±0.12)% and (6.65±0.08)%, respectively. (2) In vitro transdermal results showed that the self-assembled drug-carrying micelles had higher penetration and intradermal retention per unit skin area, and could penetrate and diffuse to deeper parts of the skin. (3) MTT assay results demonstrated that undrug-loaded self-assembled micelles containing tranexamic acid 50-250 μg/mL had no toxic effects on mouse fibroblasts and mouse skin melanoma cells. The self-assembled drug-carrying micelles containing tranexamic acid 500 μg/mL had a slight toxic effect on mouse skin melanoma cells. The self-assembled drug-carrying micelles containing 50-500 μg/mL of tranexamic acid did not cause hemolysis and had good biological safety. (4) In vitro cell culture results showed that self-assembled drug-carrying micelles containing 500 μg/mL tranexamic acid could significantly inhibit the tyrosinase activity and melanin release of mouse skin melanoma cells, and the inhibitory effect was stronger than that of tranexamic acid solution or metformin solution alone. These results indicated that functionalized self-assembled micelles could synergize with tranexamic acid to inhibit tyrosinase activity, reduce melanin synthesis, and enhance the anti-skin pigmentation effect of tranexamic acid.
