Abstract:

By using nanotechnology,ginsenoside(GS) and levamisole hydrochloride(LH) were combined with the carrier nanoemulsion to prepare compound GS and LH nanoemulsion(GS-LH-NE).Then its composition and acute toxicity were evaluated.The optimum blank nanoemulsion,which was used to prepare GS-LH-NE,was screened out through pseudo-ternary phase diagram.The enhancement effect of nanoemulsion containing different content of drug on the immunologic function of immunosuppressive mice were studied through splenic lymphocytes proliferation test,and the nanoemulsion with a better immunologic enhancement effect was screened out for ascertaining the composition of GS-LH-NE.The morphology of GS-LH-NE was observed using transmission electron microscope; the particle size was measured using laser particle size analyzer; the gavage acute toxicity of GS-LH-NE was measured using mice.The ascertained composition of GS-LH-NE was Solutol®HS-15/glycerol/PEG400/IPM/distilled water(with the mass ratio of 25.33:10.14:2.53:6:56),in which the content of GS and LH were both 30 mg·mL-1 and 30 mg·mL-1,respectively.GS-LH-NE was a yellow transparent oil-in-water nanoemulsion,which had spherical droplets with the particle size of 23.08 nm and PDI of 0.237,and its gavage LD50 was 402.85 mg·mL-1.GS-LH-NE is successfully prepared and provides the possibility to develop immunologic enhancer through nanotechnology.
