Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected parasitic disease conventionally treated by multiple injections with systemically toxic drugs. Aiming at a more acceptable therapy, we developed lipid-core nanocapsules (LNCs) entrapping the potent antileishmanial chalcone (CH8) for topical application. Rhodamine-labeled LNC (Rho-LNC-CH8) was produced for imaging studies. LNC-CH8 and Rho-LNC-CH8 had narrow size distributions (polydispersity index <0.10), with similar mean sizes (~180 nm) by dynamic light scattering. In vitro, Rho-LNC-CH8 was rapidly internalized by extracellular Leishmania amazonensis parasites macrophages in less than 15 min. LNC-CH8 activated macrophage oxidative mechanisms more efficiently than CH8, and was more selectively toxic against the intracellular parasites. In vivo, topically applied Rho-LNC-CH8 efficiently permeated mouse skin. In L. amazonensis-infected mice, LNC-CH8 reduced the parasite load by 86% after three weeks of daily topical treatment, while free CH8 was ineffective. In conclusion, LNC-CH8 has strong potential as a novel topical formulation for CL treatment.

脂质核心纳米胶囊中的封装改善了用强效抗疟疾化合物CH8进行的局部治疗。

皮肤利什曼病(CL)是一种被忽视的寄生虫病,通常通过多次注射全身毒性药物来治疗。为了获得更可接受的治疗方法,我们开发了包埋强效抗衰老查尔酮(CH8)的脂质核心纳米胶囊(LNC),用于局部应用。罗丹明标记的LNC(Rho-LNC-CH8)用于成像研究。LNC-CH8和Rho-LNC-CH8具有窄的尺寸分布(多分散指数<0.10),通过动态光散射具有相似的平均尺寸(〜180 nm)。在体外,Rho-LNC-CH8在不到15分钟的时间内被胞外利什曼原虫亚马逊巨噬细胞迅速内在化。LNC-CH8比CH8更有效地激活巨噬细胞的氧化机制,并且对细胞内的寄生虫更具选择性。体内,局部应用的Rho-LNC-CH8有效地渗透了小鼠皮肤。每天局部治疗三周后,在感染L. Amazonensis的小鼠中,LNC-CH8将寄生虫负荷降低了86%,而游离CH8无效。总之,LNC-CH8作为治疗CL的新型局部用药具有强大的潜力。
