Popis: | Harmine (HAR) is a β-carboline alkaloid with anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effect. However, the low bioavailability and side effects of HAR severely limited its clinical application. The main objective of this study was to develop harmine-loaded ethosomes (HLE) drug delivery system for topical application to treat inflammation. HLE were obtained by ethanol injection method and characterized. The morphology of HLE was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). HLE exhibited a good biocompatibility with human embryonic skin fibroblasts and rat skin. The in vitro skin penetration studies showed that HLE had the greatest skin deposition than harmine-loaded liposomes (HLL) and harmine solution (HS). In vivo pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that AUC(0–∞) and Cmax of HLE in subcutaneous tissues were much higher than that of in blood. Moreover, for convenience of fixing on skin, HLE were mixed with gel. HLE gel significantly inhibited the overexpression of inflammation cytokines prostaglandin E2, interleuking (IL)-1β, nitric oxide, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the inflammation model of rat paw edema compared with HS gel. In short, HLE was promising formulation for topical delivery in treatment of inflammatory diseases. |
