Abstract:
Objective To prepare the puerarin-loaded PEGylated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PUE@PEG-MSNs) and evaluate its protection on the acute myocardial ischemic rats. Methods PEG-MSNs functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles were achieved by the condensation method, and then they were loaded by PUE. The morphology of PUE@PEG-MSNs was examined by detection methods of particle diameter, Zeta potential, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). Moreover, the drug loading and encapsulation rate were measured by HPLC. Sixty acute ischemic myocardial model rats were prepared by coronary artery ligation, and then they were randomly divided into six groups: Sham, MIRI model, puerarin injection, low-, mid-, and high-dose PUE@PEG-MSNs groups. Different doses of PUE@PEG-MSNs and puerarin injection were given 5 min after the ligation. Monitoring the changes of ST, the blood was collected at the end of reperfusion for detecting the changes of serum creatine kinase (CK), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and malondialdehyde (MDA). The myocardial infarct size was also determined. Results PUE@PEG-MSNs presented uniform spherical morphology and particle size distribution. The particle size and Zeta potential was 300 nm and -30 mV respectively. The drug loading and entrapment efficiency was 14.7% and 67.8% respectively. Both puerarin injection and PUE@PEG-MSNs could reduce the ST-elevation of electrocardiogram, decrease the contents of CK, LDH, AST, and MDA, and reduce the myocardial infarct size. The efficacy of mid- and high-dose PUE@PEG- MSNs groups was better than that of puerarin injection group. Conclusion PUE@PEG-MSNs were successfully prepared and exerted the protective effects on the acute myocardial ischemic rats.
