ABSTRACT
The multiple drug delivery system of components of traditional Chinese medicine is a system composed of multiple components and multiple units. According to the characteristics of each component, different drug delivery units are designed and combined to achieve the purpose of improving bioavailability and enhancing drug efficacy. In this study, supercritical extracts, phenolic acids, and polysaccharides derived from Angelica sinensis were examined as research objects, and a pellet-based vehicle was applied to construct a multiple drug delivery system for the treatment and chemoprevention of colitis and colorectal cancer. The extrusion-spheronization method was used to prepare pellets of Angelica polysaccharides which should be released in the stomach. The yield in 18-24 mesh and plane critical angle served as the index. The Box-Behnken design and the orthogonal design were used to optimize the formulation and parameters of pellets. According to a previous study, the colon specific pellets loading supercritical extracts and phenolic acid extracts were prepared by the optimized process. These two units of pellets were combined into the multiple drug delivery system of effective components of Angelica sinensis, and the quality evaluation and in vitro release study were conducted. The dynamic observation of pellets in mice was evaluated using small animal in vivo imaging system. The prescription of the Angelica polysaccharides gastric releasing pellets wasmicrocrystalline cellulose 6.5 g, polysaccharide 3.3 g, silica 0.2 g and 7 mL of 60% ethanol as wetting agent. The process parameters were as followsextrusion rate at 75 r·min-1, rounding rate at 1 800 r·min-1, and rounding time for 3 min. Both in vivo and in vitro studies indicate that the prepared multiple drug delivery system of effective components of Angelica sinensis produced good release properties. The polysaccharide pellets could be rapidly released in the artificial gastric fluid and in the stomach. The colon specific pellets showed good targeting. They released little in the artificial gastric fluid within 2 hours, released less than 20% in the artificial intestinal fluid for 4 hours, and released more than 90% in artificial colon fluid for 6 hours.
