Improved Chemical Stability and Antiproliferative Activities of Curcumin-Loaded Nanoparticles with a Chitosan Chlorogenic Acid Conjugate.
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2017 December 14
A chitosan (CS)-chlorogenic acid (CA) conjugate was successfully prepared through free-radical-induced protocols with a substitution of CA on CS of 103.5 mg/g. ATR-FTIR and 1 H NMR results validated the covalent conjugation of CA onto CS. XRD results indicated the decrease of crystallinity after CA conjugation. DPPH-scavenging activity and reducing-power studies indicated that the CS-CA conjugate had stronger antioxidant activity than chitosan. The particle diameters of curcumin-loaded CS and CS-CA nanoparticles simultaneously formed by ionic gelling in the presence of tripolyphosphate (TPP) were less than 300 nm (243.6 and 256.5 nm, respectively), and zeta-potential values between 25 and 30 mV were obtained. TEM results showed that the nanoparticles were spherically shaped and homogeneously dispersed. Curcumin with the CS-CA conjugate showed better heat stability than with CA at both temperatures (25 and 95 °C) (p <0.05). Curcumin release was inhibited by the CS-CA conjugate. The total release amount of curcumin from CS and CS-CA-conjugate nanoparticles were 70.5 and 61.7%, respectively (p <0.05). A methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay showed that the antiproliferative activity of curcumin in CS-CA nanoparticles was remarkably higher than that in CS nanoparticles because of the higher chemical stability. The results suggest that CS-CA-based nanoparticles are promising candidates for the encapsulation and controlled release of hydrophobic, bioactive compounds and can improve these compounds' chemical stabilities and anticancer activities.
