Bioactive-Chylomicrons for Oral Lymphatic Targeting of Berberine Chloride: Novel Flow-Blockage Assay in Tissue-Based and Caco-2 Cell Line Models.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To develop novel bioactive-chylomicrons to solve oral delivery obstacles of Berberine chloride and target the lymphatic system. METHODS:Berberine-loaded bioactive-chylomicrons were prepared and underwent full in vitro characterization. Intestinal permeability was appraised via both non-everted gut sac model and Caco-2 cell model. Furthermore, Bioactive-chylomicrons' cellular uptake and distribution were examined by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Finally, a novel chylomicron flow-blockage assay on tissue and cellular levels were elaborated to assess the lymphatic targeting ability. RESULTS:Berberine-loaded chylomicrons showed spherical vesicles of size (175.6 nm), PDI (0.229), zeta potential (-16 .6 mV) and entrapment efficiency (95.5%). Ex-vivo intestinal permeability studies demonstrated 10.5 fold enhancement in permeability of Berberine-loaded chylomicrons over free Berberine. Moreover, Caco-2 studies revealed significant improvement in chylomicrons' permeability and cellular uptake. Furthermore, confocal microscopy analyses revealed 2 fold increase in berberine-loaded chylomicrons' intracellular fluorescence. Lymphatic targeting models were successfully elaborated using cycloheximide protein synthesis inhibitor. Such models demonstrated 47 and 27.5% reduction in ex-vivo and Caco-2 permeability respectively. Finally, a good rank order correlation was established between different permeability assessment techniques. CONCLUSION:The findings shed the light on the underlying mechanisms of Berberine bioavailability improvement. Consequently, berberine-loaded chylomicrons could be considered as promising bioactive-nanocarriers for Berberine lymphatic targeting and bioavailability improvement.
