摘要
Because of their poor water-soluble properties and non-specific distribution, most hydrophobic therapeutics had limited benefit for patients with ulcerative colitis. Herein, an in-situ oil-based gel has been developed as a rectal delivery vehicle for these therapeutics. In situ gel-forming oil (BBLG) was composed of soybean phosphatidyl choline (40%, w/w), glyceryl dioleate (50%, w/w), and ethanol (10%, w/w). The hydrophobic laquinimod (LAQ) as a model drug was easily dissolved in gel-forming oil and its solubility was reaching to 7 ± 0.1 mg/mL. Importantly, upon contact with the colonic fluids, the gel-forming oil was quickly transited to a semi-solid gel, adhering to the inflamed colon mucosa and forming a protective barrier. Transmission Electron Microscopy showed that the gel network was arranged by the connected lipid spheres and LAQ was non-crystally encapsulated into the lipid spheres. Moreover, the universal adhesive test showed that the adhesive force and the adhesive energy of BBLG toward fresh colon tissues were 711 ± 12 mN and 25 ± 2 J/m2, which was 2.14-fold and 5-fold higher than that of the marketed Poloxamer 407 gel, respectively. Meanwhile, in vivo imaging confirmed that the retention time of BBLG in the colon lumen was more than 8 h after rectal administration. In vivo animal studies showed that BBLG also greatly enhanced the therapeutic impact of LAQ on TNBS-treated rats with ulcerative colitis, as evidenced by reduced disease activity index (DAI) scores and weight loss. Moreover, the colonic inflammation was significantly alleviated and the goblet cells were obliviously restored after treatment. Importantly, the gut mucosa barrier was largely repaired without any formation of fibrosis remodeling. Conclusively, in situ liquid gel may be a potential delivery system of hydrophobic medicines for ulcerative colitis.
