Heparin-Coated Albumin Nanoparticles for Drug Combination in Targeting Inflamed Intestine.


ABSTRACT: Targeting areas of inflammation offers potential therapeutic and diagnostic benefits by maximizing drug and imaging marker on-target effects while minimizing systemic exposure that can be associated with adverse side effects. This strategy is particularly beneficial in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here an inflammation-targeting (IT) approach based on heparin-coated human serum albumin nanoparticles (HEP-HSA NPs) that utilize the increased intestinal permeability and changes in electrostatic interaction at the site of intestinal inflammation is described. Using small-molecule and biologic drugs as a model for drug combination, the HEP-HSA NPs demonstrate the capacity to load both drugs simultaneously; the dual-drug loaded HEP-HSA NPs exhibit a higher anti-inflammatory effect than both of the single-drug loaded NPs in vitro and selectively bind to inflamed intestine after enema administration in vivo in a murine model of colitis. Importantly, analyses of the physicochemical characteristics and targeting capacities of these NPs indicate that HEP coating modulates NP binding to the inflamed intestine, providing a foundation for future IT-NP formulation development.
