目的研究不同长度微电子机械系统(MEMS)微针条件下,雷公藤甲素(TP)不同剂型对大鼠类风湿性关节炎(RA)模型皮肤损伤的影响。方法制备TP丙二醇水溶液、脂质体、脂质体水凝胶贴剂3种剂型,采用Ⅱ型胶原诱导的大鼠RA模型,对大鼠左右侧皮肤分别作100和200仙mMEMS微针处理,用紫外分光光度法检测皮肤乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)活性。结果给予MEMS微针处理后,大鼠皮肤LDH活性没有显著变化(P〉0.05);TP不同剂型均使皮肤LDH活性明显升高(P〈0.05),其中溶液组升高最大(P〈0.001),脂质体组次之(P〈0.01),脂质体水凝胶贴剂组升高最小(P〈0.05),但是左右两侧皮肤比较无明显差异(P〉0.05)。结论100和200岬MEMS微针均可安全地用于RA大鼠的经皮给药促透;TP制备为脂质体水凝胶贴剂后可显著地减小对RA大鼠皮肤的损伤,是其透皮给药的理想剂型。
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of different triptolide formulations given by micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) micro-needles on skin injury of rheumatoid arthritis rats . METHODS Three formulations of triptolide were prepared inclu- ding the aqueous solution of 20% propylene glycol, liposomes, and liposomes hydrogel patch. Rats with rheumatoid arthritis induced by collagen II were used, and 100 and 200 μm MEMS micro-needles treatment was performed on left and right sides of rat skin. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities were measured by ultraviolet spectro-photometric method. RESULTS After processed by MEMS micro-needle, the LDH activities of RA rat skin did not change obviously ( P 〉 0. 05 ). All triptolide formulations increased LDH activities ( P 〈 0. 05 ), and the increasement of solution group was largest ( P 〈 0. 001 ), followed by lipsomes group ( P 〈 0. 01 ) and liposomes hydrogel patch (P 〈 0. 05). Nevertheless, there was no significant difference between left and right sides of rat skin (P 〉 0. 05 ). CONCLUSION Both 100 and 200 Ixm MEMS micro-needles were safe for enhancement of transdermal delivery in rheu- matoid arthritis rats. The skin injury was observably relieved when triptolide was prepared as liposomes hydrogel patch which is a per- fect formulation for transdermal delivery of triptoiide.
