RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To prepare tetrandrine （TET）-loaded chitosan（CS）-stearic acid （SA） nano micelles modified with folic acid （FA）（ FA-CS-SA/TET nano micelles）， characterize them and study the anti-inflammatory effect in vitro. METHODS FA- CS-SA/TET nano micelles were prepared by ultrasonic method； the preparation technology was optimized by orthogonal test and validation test was also performed with the mass ratio of FA-CS-SA to TET， ultrasound power and ultrasound times as the factors， using the comprehensive score of entrapment efficiency （EE）， drug loading （DL） and particle size as evaluation index. FA-CS-SA/ TET nano micelles prepared by the optimal technology were characterized， and their release performance in vitro was investigated. RAW264.7 cells were used as subjects to investigate their anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. RESULTS The optimal preparation technology included that the mass ratio of FA-CS-SA to TET was 2∶1， ultrasonic power was 200 W， and the ultrasonic frequency was 200 times. The parameters of FA-CS-SA/TET nano micelles prepared by optimized technology included that EE was （98.86± 0.30）%， DL was （28.57±0.34）%， the average particle size was （227.0±9.4） nm， polydispersity index was 0.42±0.04， and the Zeta potential was（12.6±2.3）mV， respectively. The nano micelles were uniform in appearance and round in shape. The nano micelles were released quickly in 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate solution， with a cumulative release rate of （79.49±3.43）% within 72 hours， and its anti-inflammatory effect was stronger than that of TET raw materials. CONCLUSIONS FA-CS-SA/TET nano micelles are prepared successfully in the study， with good drug loading performance， uniform particle size， and good in vitro anti-inflammatory activity.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To develop a method for simultaneous determination of geniposide,baicalin,aloe-emodin,rhein, emodin,chrysophanol and physcion in Zhizi jinhua dispersible tablets. METHODS:HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Dimonsil C18 column with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.05%phosphoric acid(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 254 nm,and the column temperature was 25℃. The sample size was 20 μL. RESULTS:The linear ranges of geniposide,baicalin,aloe-emodin,rhein,emodin,chrysophanol and physcion were 0.0323-0.323 μg (r=0.9998),0.1374-1.374μg(r=0.9999),0.00372-0.0372μg(r=0.9997),0.0069-0.069μg(r=0.9995),0.00332-0.0332μg (r=0.9997),0.00864-0.0864 μg(r=0.9997) and 0.00122-0.0122 μg(r=0.9995),respectively. The limits of quantitation were 0.0321,0.1374,0.00372,0.0067,0.00330,0.00864,0.00122 μg,respectively. The limits of detection were 0.0095, 0.0041,0.0012,0.0020,0.0010,0.0026,0.0003 μg,respectively. RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 3%. The average recoveries were 96.54%-99.52%(RSD=1.17%,n=6),97.23%-101.23%(RSD=1.36%,n=6), 97.22%-101.25%(RSD=1.83%,n=6),97.32%-100.23%(RSD=1.09%,n=6),97.99%-102.71%(RSD=1.73%,n=6), 96.99%-100.23%(RSD=1.21%,n=6),96.99%-103.01%(RSD=2.31%,n=6),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The methods is simple and reproducible. It can be used for the content determination of 7 components in Zhizi jinhua dispersible tablets.
