电子感应性纳米颗粒改善苯妥英对全身性强直阵挛发作癫痫患者的抗癫痫效果
Previously, we developed electroresponsive hydrogel nanoparticles (ERHNPs) modified with angiopep-2 (ANG) to facilitate the delivery of the antiseizure drug phenytoin sodium (PHT). However, the electroresponsive characteristics were not verified directly in epileptic mice and the optimal preparation formula for electroresponsive ability is still unclear. Here, we further synthesized PHT-loaded ANG-ERHNPs (ANG-PHT-HNPs) and PHT-loaded nonelectroresponsive hydrogel nanoparticles (ANG-PHT-HNPs) by changing the content of sodium 4-vinylbenzene sulfonate in the preparation formulae. In vivo microdialysis analysis showed that ANG-PHT-ERHNPs not only have the characteristics of a higher distribution in the central nervous system, but also have electroresponsive ability, which resulted in a strong release of nonprotein-bound PHT during seizures. In both electrical- (maximal electrical shock) and chemical-induced (pentylenetetrazole and pilocarpine) seizure models, ANG-PHT-ERHNPs lowered the effective therapeutic doses of PHT and demonstrated the improved antiseizure effects compared with ANG-PHT-HNPs or PHT solution. These results demonstrate that ANG-ERHNPs are able to transport PHT into the brain efficiently and release them when epileptiform activity occurred, which is due to the content of sodium 4-vinylbenzene sulfonate in formula. This may change the therapeutic paradigm of existing drug treatment for epilepsy into a type of on-demand control for epilepsy in the future. © 2016 The American Society for Experimental NeuroTherapeutics, Inc.
