摘要: 制备了一种葛根素固体分散体温敏灌肠凝胶,以解决葛根素溶解度差、生物利用度低的问题。通过单因素试验与Box-Behnken响应面法,以胶凝温度、胶凝时间等多个指标进行综合评价,确定的最佳处方(质量分数)组成为:泊洛沙姆407为17.74%,泊洛沙姆188为1.36%,海藻酸钠0.96%,以及无水氯化钙0.06%。对该优化处方进行材料学表征的结果表明,所制备的凝胶其胶凝温度介于36~39℃之间,与生理温度接近,能在体温条件下迅速转变为半固体凝胶状态。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察显示,凝胶具有规整的三维多孔网络结构。傅里叶红外光谱(FTIR)分析表明,葛根素在固体分散体及凝胶中均以无定形态存在,且与载体材料相容性良好,未发生明显的化学相互作用。流变学测试进一步揭示,凝胶在发生相变后表现出以弹性为主的特性,具备良好的凝胶强度。体外溶胀与降解实验评价显示,该凝胶在模拟生理环境中具有优良的吸水膨胀能力,其最大溶胀率可达80%以上;同时在降解过程中,凝胶在24小时后的质量残留率仍保持在20%以上,且降解曲线呈现先快后慢的趋势,显示出其具备可持续的药物释放潜力。结果表明,本研究制备的葛根素固体分散体温敏灌肠凝胶,具备适宜的温敏胶凝特性、良好的溶胀与降解性能以及稳定的三维多孔结构,为改善葛根素的递送提供了一种有前景的新策略。

Abstract: In this study, a thermosensitive enema gel containing puerarin in solid dispersion form was prepared to address the poor solubility and low bioavailability of puerarin. Through single-factor experiments and using the Box-Behnken response surface methodology, we evaluated multiple indicators of the gel such as gelation temperature and gelation time, and identified its optimal formulation: 17.74% poloxamer 407, 1.36% poloxamer 188, 0.96% sodium alginate, and 0.06% anhydrous calcium chloride. Material characterization of this optimized formulation showed that the gel had a gelation temperature ranging from 36°C to 39°C, which is close to physiological body temperature, allowing the gel to rapidly transform into a semi-solid gel state at body temperatures. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that the gel possessed a regular three-dimensional porous network structure. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that Puerarin existed in an amorphous state in both the solid dispersion and the gel, and showed good compatibility with the carrier materials without significant chemical interactions. Rheological tests further demonstrated that the gel exhibited elastic properties after the phase transition, indicating good gel strength. In vitro swelling and degradation experiments showed that the gel had excellent water absorption and swelling capacity in a simulated physiological environment, with a maximum swelling rate of over 80%. Additionally, during the degradation process, the mass retention rate of the gel remained above 20% after 24 h, and the degradation curve showed a trend of initial rapidity followed by gradual degradation, indicating its potential for sustained drug release. In conclusion, these results suggest that the enema gel containing puerarin in a solid dispersion form possessed marked temperature-sensitive gelation properties, favorable swelling and degradation characteristics, and a stable three-dimensional porous structure, providing a promising novel strategy for improving the delivery of puerarin.
