Preparation process optimization of paeoniflorin PLGA nanoparticle and its protection of cardiomyocytes
Objective:To optimize the preparation process of paeoniflorin PLGA nanoparticles and to explore the protective effect of paeoniflorin nanoparticles on H2O2-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes.Methods:Paeoniflorin PLGA nanoparticles were prepared by compound emulsion-solvent volatilization method,and Plackett-Burman design combined with Box-Behnken-response surface design was used to optimize the preparation process to obtain the optimum prescription.The surface features,4 ℃ storage situation and in vitro release of paeoniflorin PLGA nanoparticles prepared according to the best prescription were analyzed.The protective effect of paeoniflorin PLGA nanoparticles on H2O2-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes was studied.The cell survival rate was measured by CCK-8 method.The amount of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),malondialdehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)were detected by commercial kits.Results:The optimized prescription is as follows:Poloxamer concentration 0.4%,paeoniflorin 3.1 mg,PLGA 21.4 mg,obtaining encapsulation efficiency is(45.49±0.29)%,loading efficiency is(4.52±0.05)%,particle size is(115.1±3.61)nm,polydiseperse index(PDI)is(0.122± 0.01),and Zeta potential is-(23.2±0.19)mV.It's regular and round in shape and the in vitro release was 80%in 12 h.The cell experiment results showed that paeoniflorin PLGA nanoparticles improved the survival rate of cardiomyocytes,reduced the LDH and MDA content,and increased the SOD content(P<0.05).Conclusion:The optimized paeoniflorin PLGA nanoparticles were stable at 4 ℃ and released slowly in vitro.The rule of its release fits the Ritger-Peppas kinetic model.Paeoniflorin PLGA nanoparticles showed obvious protection against H2O2-induced damage in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.
