树枝状大分子聚酰胺-胺对甘草苷促吸收作用及安全性研究

Absorption enhancing effects and safety of PAMAM dendrimers on liquiritin

树枝状大分子聚酰胺-胺(PAMAM dendrimers)是近年来研究较为广泛的树状大分子之一,其表面具有大量可修饰的官能团,内部具有大量空腔,且具有良好的生物相容性、渗透性及稳定性,这些特点使PAMAM dendrimers在药物和基因载体等领域应用广泛,并可能成为新型吸收促进剂。为具体研究PAMAM dendrimers的促吸收作用,该课题选取甘草苷为模型药物,其具有补脾益气、解毒保肝等功效,但有研究表明其经口服后不易被胃肠道吸收,且存在首过效应等,生物利用度较低,因此在临床上尚未被广泛应用。该课题以体内肠道吸收的2个主要决定性因素溶解性和渗透性为核心,通过对甘草苷理化性质的研究,并辅以目前广泛应用的肠渗透性模型Caco-2单层细胞膜,对比分析了含或不含不同表面活性官能团的PAMAM dendrimers的甘草苷溶液跨Caco-2细胞膜转运量,并利用MTT试验分析比较了不同官能团的PAMAM dendrimers对细胞的毒性大小。结果显示,0.1%的G4代PAG能安全、有效的促进甘草苷吸收,并适合进一步开发成新型药用辅料。

PAMAM dendrimer is one of the most widely studied dendrimers in recent years,which has a large number of functional groups on the surface and cavities inside,specific three-dimensional structure and good biocompatibility,permeability and stability. It has been widely applied in drug and gene carrier fields and may become a new absorption enhancer. In order to study the absorption enhancing effects of PAMAM dendrimers,liquiritin was selected as the model drug,with the protection of spleen and liver,detoxification and other functions,but it had not been widely used in clinical application because of its difficult absorption,first pass effect,and low bioavailability. This topic was based on the two main determinants（ solubility and permeability） of intestinal absorption in the body,researched the physicochemical properties of liquiritin,analyzed the transport volume of liquiritin with or without PAMAM dendrimers by using Caco-2 cell model,and analyzed the cytotoxicity of PAMAM dendrimers on Caco-2 cells by MTT experiments. These results showed that 0. 1% of the G4 generation PAG can promote the absorption of liquiritin safely and effectively,and it was suitable for further development into a new type of pharmaceutical excipients.
