    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the intractable diseases recognized by the World Health Organization, and paeonol has been proven to have therapeutic effects. However, the low solubility of paeonol limits its clinical application. To prepare and optimize paeonol liposome, study its absorption mechanism and the anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo, in order to provide experimental basis for the further development of paeonol into an anti-inflammatory drug in the future. METHODS: Paeonol loaded liposomes were prepared and optimized by thin film dispersion-ultrasonic method. The absorption mechanism of paeonol-loaded liposomes was studied by pharmacokinetics, in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion and Caco-2 cell monolayer model, the anti-inflammatory activity was studied in a mouse ulcerative model. RESULTS: Box-Behnken response surface methodology permits to screen the best formulations. The structural and morphological characterization showed that paeonol was entrapped inside the bilayer in liposomes. Pharmacokinetic studies found that the AUC0-t of Pae-Lips was 2.78 times than that of paeonol suspension, indicating that Pae-Lips significantly improved the absorption of paeonol. In situ single intestinal perfusion and Caco-2 monolayer cell model results showed that paeonol was passively transported and absorbed, and was the substrate of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP, and the Papp value of Pae-Lips was significantly higher than that of paeonol. In vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory experiments showed that compared with paeonol, Pae-Lips exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity. CONCLUSION: In this study, Pae-Lips were successfully prepared to improve the oral absorption of paeonol. Absorption may involve passive diffusion and efflux transporters. Moreover, Pae-Lips have excellent anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo, which preliminarily clarifies the feasibility of further development of Pae-Lips into oral anti-inflammatory drugs.
