Abstract:
:The objectives of this study were to formulate, characterize silymarin-loaded Eudragit nanoparticles (SNPs) and evaluate their hepatoprotective and cytotoxic effects after oral administration. SNPs were prepared by nanoprecipitation technique and were evaluated for particle size, entrapment efficiency, TEM, solid-state characterization, and in vitro drug release. The hepatoprotective activity was evaluated after oral administration of selected SNPs in carbon tetrachloride-intoxicated rats. Potential in vivo acute cytotoxicity study was also assessed. The selected SNPs contained 50 mg silymarin and 50 mg Eudragit polymers (1:1 w/w Eudragit RS 100 & Eudragit LS 100). Morphology of the selected SNPs (particle size of 84.70 nm and entrapment efficiency of 83.45% with 100% drug release after 12 h) revealed spherical and uniformly distributed nanoparticles. DSC and FT-IR studies suggested the presence of silymarin in an amorphous state and absence of chemical interaction. The hepatoprotective evaluation of the selected SNPs in CCl4-intoxicated rats revealed significant improvement in the activities of different biochemical parameters (P ≤ 0.01) compared to the marketed product. The histopathological studies suggested that the selected SNPs produced better hepatoprotective effect in CCl4-intoxicated rats compared with the commercially marketed product. Toxicity study revealed no evident toxic effect for blank or silymarin-loaded nanoparticles at the dose level of 50 mg/kg body weight. The obtained results suggested that the selected SNPs were safe and potentially offered enhancement in the pharmacological hepatoprotective properties of silymarin.
