Abstrakt: New drug delivery systems have rarely been used in the formulation of traditional Chinese medicine, especially those that are crude active Chinese medicinal ingredients. In the present study, hyaluronic acid decorated lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles were used to prepare a targeted drug delivery system (TDDS) for total alkaloid extract from Picrasma quassioides (TAPQ) to improve its targeting property and anti-inflammatory activity. Picrasma quassioides, a common-used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), containing a series of hydrophobic total alkaloids including β-carboline and canthin-6-one alkaloids show great anti-inflammatory activity. However, its high toxicity (IC 50 = 8.088±0.903 μg/ml), poor water solubility (need to dissolve with 0.8% Tween-80) and poor targeting property severely limits its clinical application. Herein, hyaluronic acid (HA) decorated lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles loaded with TAPQ (TAPQ-NPs) were designed to overcome above mentioned deficiencies. TAPQ-NPs have good water solubility, strong anti-inflammatory activity and great joint targeting property. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activity assay showed that the efficacy of TAPQ-NPs was significantly higher than TAPQ(P<0.001). Animal experiments showed that the nanoparticles had good joint targeting property and had strong inhibitory activity against collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). These results indicate that the application of this novel targeted drug delivery system in the formulation of traditional Chinese medicine is feasible.
