Binary and Tertiary Complex Based on Short-Chain Glucan and Proanthocyanidins for Oral Insulin Delivery.
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2017 October 12
The present study was performed to investigate binary and tertiary nanocomposites between short-chain glucan (SCG) and proanthocyanidins (PAC) for the oral delivery of insulin. There was a large decrease in fluorescence intensity of insulin in the presence of SCG or the combination of SCG with PAC. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the binary and tertiary nanocomposites were synthesized due to the hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The insulin entrapped in the nanocomposites was in an amorphous state confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The cell culture demonstrated that both the nanocomposites showed no detectable cytotoxicity with relative cell viability all above 85%. The pharmacological bioavailability after oral administration of insulin-SCG-PAC at a dose of 100 IU/kg was found to be 6.98 ± 1.20% in diabetic rats without any sharp fluctuations in 8 h.
