Abstract

Objective. In order to find the best process for the preparation of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles in the laboratory, the preparation of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles was optimized using the central composite design method. In order to investigate the properties of the prepared Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles, physicochemical properties were examined and in vitro dissolution experiments were performed, and the pharmacokinetics of Chrysophanol and Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles were investigated in rabbits. Methods. In the preexperimental study, the best physical solubilization method and organic solvent for Chrysophanol were selected. The ratio of drug dosage to excipient dosage and the amount of organic solvents were evaluated by single-factor test. Based on the single-factor test, the optimal prescription was obtained by screening the formulation and optimizing the preparation process using the central composite design method with the encapsulation efficiency as the index. Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles were prepared according to the optimal prescription, and their particle size, potential, appearance, and in vitro release experiments were carried out. Chrysophanol and Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles were injected intravenously through the ear margins to rabbits, and the drug concentrations in the blood were measured at different time points by HPLC. The obtained blood concentration data were fitted with PK Solver 2.0 program to obtain pharmacokinetic parameters. Results. In the preexperimental study, ultrasonic method was selected as the physical solubilization method, and acetone was selected as the organic solvent. In single-factor test, the highest encapsulation efficiency was achieved when the ratio of drug dosage to excipient dosage was 1 : 15; the highest encapsulation efficiency was achieved when the amount of organic solvent (acetone) was 8 mL. The equation fitted to the model for the optimized prescription by the central composite design method is as follows: . The best prescription for the preparation of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles was obtained in the ratio of drug dosage to excipient dosage of 1 : 16.309 and the dosage of organic solvent was 6.595 mL. The prepared nanomicelles have a particle size of 152.8 nm and a potential of -23.9 mV. It was observed by transmission electron microscope that the prepared nanomicelles are uniform and spherical in appearance. The drug metabolism of Chrysophanol and nanomicelles in rabbits conforms to the two-compartment open model, and both of them show linear kinetics in the drug dose range. was h and h, and was h and h for Chrysophanol and Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles, respectively. Conclusions. The adopted central composite design method can well optimize the prescription process of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles prepared by dialysis, and the method is simple and easy to be prepared in the laboratory. The prepared nanomicelles have uniform particle size and good zeta potential and appear as uniform black spherical shape under transmission electron microscopy. In vitro release studies showed that the Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles released significantly better than Chrysophanol. The results of pharmacokinetics of Chrysophanol and Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles in rabbits showed that the Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles did not change the metabolic process of the drug in vivo but could stay in vivo for a longer period of time and exert longer effects. It is hoped that this study can provide a laboratory basis for the preparation of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles and a reference for further in vivo studies of Chrysophanol.

1. Introduction

Chrysophanol, chemically known as 1,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-anthraquinone, is an anthraquinone compound extracted from traditional Chinese medicines such as Chinese rhubarb and Giant Knotweed Rhizome. Chrysophanol has a molecular weight of 254.23 and contains multiple carbonyl and hydroxyl groups as well as an anthraquinone tricyclic aromatic structure [1]. Recent studies have shown that Chrysophanol have various pharmacological effects, such as anticancer and neuronal protection [2, 3], but its poor water solubility and low bioavailability make it difficult to use in clinical practice. Therefore, various studies on Chrysophanol dosage forms have emerged [4, 5], but fewer studies have been conducted on Chrysophanol micelles dosage forms [6], and the issue of multifactorial interactions in recent studies on Chrysophanol dosage forms remains to be addressed [7]. Nanomicelles are of high research value and have been studied by many scholars because of their absorption-promoting and bioavailability-enhancing effects [8–10]. In this study, Pluronic F127 [11] was used as a carrier to prepare Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles and perform in vivo pharmacokinetic studies in rabbits, aiming to establish a method to optimize the preparation of nanomicelles by dialysis using the central composite design method, in order to provide a reference for the clinical application of Chrysophanol.

3. Methods

3.1. Preparation of Micelles

3.1.1. (1) Pretreatment of Dialysis Bags [12]

The dialysis bags were cut into small sections of appropriate length (10-20 cm), and the cut bags were boiled in a large volume of 2% () sodium bicarbonate and 1 mmol/L EDTA (pH 8.0) for 10 min. The boiled dialysis bags were thoroughly washed with distilled water. Boil the cleaned dialysis bags in 1 mmol/L EDTA (pH 8.0) for 10 min. After cooling, store in a 4°C refrigerator and ensure that the dialysis bags are always submerged in the solution. Before use, fill the dialysis bag with water and drain it, wash it well, and take it with gloves.

3.1.2. Preexperimental Study

(1) Selection of Physical Solubilization Methods. The four physical solubilization methods of stirring, magnetic stirring, water bath shaking, and ultrasonic were set up, and the method was selected by observing the dissolution time of Chrysophanol in the solution and the measured absorbance. (1)Precisely weigh 2.0 mg of Chrysophanol and add 10 mL of anhydrous ethanol; stirring, magnetic stirring, water bath shaking, and ultrasonic treatment were performed to set up three parallel experiments to observe the dissolution time of Chrysophanol in solution(2)Precisely weigh 1.0 mg of Chrysophanol in a 50 mL volumetric flask and fix the volume with anhydrous ethanol to obtain 20 μg·mL^-1 of Chrysophanol stock solution. Transfer 12.5 mL of the reserve solution into a 25 mL volumetric flask and dilute to the scale with anhydrous ethanol to obtain a standard solution at a concentration of 10 μg·mL^-1. The absorbance was measured in three parallel experiments with stirring, magnetic stirring, water bath shaking, and physical solubilization by ultrasonic method for 20 min, respectively

(2) Selection of Organic Solvents. Anhydrous ethanol, chloroform, dichloromethane, and acetone were set as four organic solvents to prepare Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles by the dialysis method described in Section 3.1.3, and the encapsulation efficiency of nanomicelles was used as the index.

3.1.3. Preparation Process of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 Nanomicelles

The nanomicelles were prepared by dialysis method [13–15]. The appropriate amount of Chrysophanol and the appropriate amount of Pluronic F127 were precisely weighed and dissolved with the appropriate amount of acetone, and after the solution was clarified, it was slowly injected into 10 mL of ultrapure water with a syringe and magnetically stirred at 1000 r·min^-1 for 60 min, and the obtained solution was injected into the treated dialysis bags for 24 h. After 24 h, the solution in the dialysis bag was removed to a centrifuge tube, the free Chrysophanol was dispersed by centrifugation in a high-speed centrifuge, and the supernatant was the prepared nanomicelles. Three sets of parallel experiments were established, and encapsulation efficiency of the prepared nanomicelles was measured.

3.1.4. Determination Method and Standard Curve Construction

(1)The content of Chrysophanol was determined by UV spectrophotometric method [16–18]. Referring to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition, the detection wavelength under the determination of Chrysophanol content in one section is 254 nm, so 254 nm was determined as the detection wavelength of Chrysophanol in this study. Pluronic F127 was weighed precisely, dissolved in anhydrous ethanol and diluted to a certain multiple, and scanned in the wavelength range of 200-600 nm with anhydrous ethanol as the blank control(2)Precisely weigh 1.00 mg of Chrysophanol in a 50.00 mL volumetric flask, and fix the volume with anhydrous ethanol to obtain a reserve solution of Chrysophanol at a concentration of 20.00 μg·mL^-1. The reserve solution was transferred into a 25.00 mL volumetric flask and diluted to the scale with anhydrous ethanol to obtain a series of standard solutions with concentrations of 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.50, 5.00, and 10.00 μg·mL^-1. After measuring the absorbance of the samples at 254 nm, a linear regression was performed by least squares to establish the regression equation

3.1.5. Single-Factor Test

(1)The nanomicelles were prepared according to the dialysis method described in Section 3.1.3. The ratio of drug dose to excipient dose was set at 1 : 5, 1 : 10, 1 : 15, 1 : 20, and 1 : 25, i.e., 25.00 mg, 50.00 mg, 75.00 mg, 100.00 mg, and 125.00 mg of Pluronic F127 for 5.00 mg of Chrysophanol, respectively. Three sets of parallel experiments were set up, and the encapsulation efficiency was measured(2)The nanomicelles were prepared according to the dialysis method described in Section 3.1.3. The organic solvent (acetone) volume conditions were set to 2 mL, 4 mL, 6 mL, 8 mL, and 10 mL. Three groups of parallel experiments were set and the encapsulation efficiency was measured

3.1.6. Optimization of Prescription by Central Composite Design Method

The amount of organic solvent(acetone) and the ratio of drug amount to excipient amount were selected as two conditions for prescription optimization using the central composite design response surface method (CCD design method) [19–21] using Design Expert 12 software [22].

3.2. Study of Particle Size, Potential and Appearance of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 Nanomicelles

The particle size and potential of the prepared nanomicelles were determined using a Malvern particle size meter. The appearance of the prepared micelles was observed by transmission electron microscopy.

3.3. In Vitro Release Studies

The in vitro release behavior of nanomicelles was investigated by the dialysis bag method using 900 mL of 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate as the release medium, and the dialysis bag treatment method was the same as that under Section 3.1.1. Chrysophanol and Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles were placed in dialysis bags, tied to a paddle, and then placed in a dissolution cup with the release medium, and the solution temperature was controlled at 3°C by an intelligent drug dissolution instrument, and the speed was set at 100 r·min^-1. The samples were diluted to a certain multiple with anhydrous ethanol, and the absorbance of the nanomicelles was determined by UV method, and the absorbance was substituted into the standard curve regression equation to calculate the Chry concentration and plot the dissolution curve.

① Linearity Range Investigation

The standard solutions were prepared with 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate at concentrations of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 μg∙mL^-1. The absorbance was determined by UV method, and linear regression was performed by least squares method to obtain the standard curves.

At 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 h after administration, 1 mL of blood was drawn from the heart of the rabbits. The blood was placed in EDTA-coated tubes and centrifuged at 10,000 r·min^-1 for 10 min. 100 μL of supernatant plasma was collected and stored in a refrigerator at -80°C until use. Plasma samples were processed using the ethyl acetate resolution method [24]. After centrifugation, 100 μL of the supernatant was placed in a 1 mL centrifuge tube, and 1 mL of ethyl acetate was added, vortexed for 5 min, and centrifuged at 12000 r·min^-1 for 10 min (4°C). 900 μL of the upper layer of ethyl acetate was aspirated and placed in a new centrifuge tube and blown dry with nitrogen, 200 μL of mobile phase was added and redissolved and vortexed for 5 min, and the supernatant was aspirated into the sample. The supernatant was centrifuged at 12000 r·min^-1 for 10 min (4°C), aspirated, and reserved.

3.4.4. Establishment of Standard Curve

Add 100 μL of rabbit plasma in a 1 mL centrifuge tube with 10 μL of Chrysophanol standard solution (1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 5.00, 10.00, 15.00, 20.00, 50.00, 100.00, and 150.00 μg·mL^-1); then add 1 mL of ethyl acetate extract, vortex and mix for 5 min, and centrifuge at 12000 r·min^-1 for 10 min (4°C).

4.2.2. Analysis of Variance and Model Fitting of Optimal Prescription by CCD Design Method

The analysis of variance of the optimized prescription model by CCD design method is shown in Table 1. The results of significant differences of the models are shown in Table 2.

The encapsulation efficiency was %, %, %, and the deviation from the predicted value was small, indicating that the test fit was in line with the requirements. The results are shown in Table 3.

4.3. The Particle Size, Potential, and Morphology of Nanomicelles

The particle size of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles in water was 152.8 nm with a PDI of 0.225. The zeta potential was -23.9 mV, as shown in Figures 8 and 9. Under transmission electron microscopy, the Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles appeared to be in a homogeneous black spherical shape, as shown in Figure 10.

The results showed that the variation of plasma concentration with time after intravenous injection of Chrysophanol and Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles was consistent with the two-compartment model. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated on this basis, and the parameters showed that the distribution of Chrysophanol and Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles in rabbits was basically the same, and the elimination time of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles was about three times longer than that of Chrysophanol, which greatly improved the residence time of the drug in rabbits, and the specific results are shown in Table 4.

5. Conclusions

In this study, Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles were prepared by dialysis method, which is simple and easy to prepare under laboratory conditions and easy to adjust the preparation conditions. In order to avoid the influence of continuous variables in the experiment, a central composite design method different from the traditional experimental design was used in this study. This method is able to fit the corresponding surface model well and gives intuitive optimization regions to obtain the best preparation conditions. And the particle size potential and appearance morphology of the prepared Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles were investigated by Malvern particle size meter and transmission electron microscope. It was found that the prepared nanomicelles have uniform particle size and good potential and appear as uniform black spheres under transmission electron microscopy. Through in vitro release experiments, it was demonstrated that the prepared nanomicelles could significantly improve the water solubility of Chrysophanol, and the in vitro release of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles was significantly higher than that of Chrysophanol. The treatment of the blood samples in the pharmacokinetic section, using ethyl acetate resolubilization, was more scientific than the traditional precipitation of proteins using methanol alone. The traditional method of protein precipitation using organic solvents such as methanol [26–28] does not take into account the possibility of drug precipitation with proteins or the possibility of complete removal of other components of the blood sample on the experimental results. The ethyl acetate resolubilization method in this study is more likely to avoid the loss of drug in the blood sample and the influence of other components in the blood sample. The results of pharmacokinetic study showed that the pharmacokinetic process of Chrysophanol in rabbits after intravenous injection at the ear margin was in accordance with the open two-compartment model, with rapid distribution and mainly elimination process, which belongs to the slow elimination class of drugs. After intravenous injection of Chrysophanol nanomicelles at the ear margin of rabbits, the pharmacokinetic process in rabbits was also consistent with the open two-compartment model, with faster distribution and no significant changes in Chrysophanol, but the elimination time of the drug was significantly longer, and the drug effect could exist in rabbits for a longer period of time. It is hoped that this study can provide a laboratory basis for the preparation of Chrysophanol-Pluronic F127 nanomicelles and pharmacokinetic studies and provide a reference for the clinical application of Chrysophanol.
