Oleanolic acid loaded poly lactic co- glycolic acid- vitamin E TPGS nanoparticles for the treatment of Leishmania donovani infected visceral leishmaniasis.

Abstract:

:Oleanolic acid (OA) has low aqueous solubility and low permeability, which results poor bioavailability. To surmount the inadequacy, our aim was to fabricate oleanolic acid loaded poly lactic co- glycolic acid (PLGA)- d-α- tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) nanoparticles, which could be efficacious for the treatment of Leishmania donovani mediated visceral leishmaniasis (VL). OA loaded PLGA- TPGS nanoparticles were prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation technique. Cellular uptake was investigated. In vitro cumulative drug release study was carried out. In vitro susceptibility was confirmed against the amastigotes of Leishmania donovani AG83 wild and drug resistant strains. In vivo antileishmanial activity was evaluated against wild type amastigotes of L. donovani. OA loaded nanoparticles were successfully formulated. The highest drug loading was found to be 11.08%±0.35%. 85.66%±0.56% was the highest in vitro OA release for 30days among the formulations. In vivo study revealed that, 98.82±1.92% amastigote burden in spleen of BALB/c mice were suppressed by the polymeric nanoformulation of OA. Experimental OA nanoparticle formulation proved itself as an attractive carrier for OA which was significantly efficacious against both in vitro and in vivo amastigote form of Leishmania donovani than pure OA for chemotherapeutic intervention of visceral leishmaniasis.
