ABSTRACT
The therapeutic effect of 5-amino salicylic acid (5-ASA), a first-line therapeutic agent for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), is limited by the modest bioavailability afforded by its oral administration. In this study, a 5-ASA oral delivery system was developed using Eudragit S100-coated iron oxide-chitosan nanocomposites (ES-IOCS/5-ASA) to address this issue. According to drug release studies in vitro, ES-IOCS/5-ASA only released a small amount of drug in simulated gastric fluid with a pH of 1.2. However, in a medium with a pH of 7.5, a relatively rapid and complete release was noted. 5-ASA-loaded iron oxide-chitosan nanocomposites (IOCS/5-ASA) could be effectively taken up by NCM460 cells and performed better anti-inflammatory effects than free 5-ASA. At the same time, IOCS/5-ASA improved barrier damage in DSS-induced NCM460 cells. In vivo models of dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis were used to assess the therapeutic efficacy of oral administration of ES-IOCS/5-ASA. ES-IOCS/5-ASA significantly relieved DSS-induced colitis and enhanced the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier. ES-IOCS/5-ASA also reduced the expression of NLRP3, ASC and IL-1ß. Additionally, iron oxide nanoparticles used as nanozymes could alleviate inflammation. In summary, this study indicates that ES-IOCS/5-ASA exert anti-inflammatory effects on DSS-induced colitis by improving intestinal barrier function and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome expression, presenting a viable therapeutic choice for the treatment of UC.
