Abstract

The potential utility of vitamin B12 carrier system for the oral delivery of conjugated peptides/proteins and enhancement of nanoparticles (NPs) transport has been demonstrated. The present study aims to optimize the effectiveness of VB12-NPs conjugates using different levels of cross-linking, linked with different VB(12)-coatings and evaluates in animal models to investigate an efficient insulin carrier. Amino alkyl VB12 derivatives suitable for oral delivery were synthesized at 5'hydoxy ribose and e-propionamide sites via carbamate and ester/amide linkages, and were coupled to succinic acid modified dextran NPs of varied cross-linking. VB12 binding was confirmed by XPS analysis, and was quantified by HPLC (4.0 to 5.7% w/w of NPs). These polydisperse NPs conjugates showed higher size, high insulin entrapment and faster insulin release with low levels of cross-linking. These VB12-NPs conjugates (150-300 nm) showed profound (70-75% blood glucose reductions) and prolonged (54 h) anti-diabetic effects with biphasic behaviour in STZ diabetic rats. NPs with the low levels of cross-linking were found to be superior carriers, and were more effective with VB12 derivatives of carbamate linkage. The pharmacological availability relative to SC insulin was found to be 29.4%, which was superior compared to NPs conjugate of ester linked VB12 (1.5 fold) and relatively higher cross-linked particles (1.1 fold). Further, the NPs carrier demonstrated a similar oral insulin efficacy in congenital diabetic mice (60% reduction at 20 h). Significant quantities of plasma insulin were found in both animal models (231 and 197 muIU/ml). At two investigated doses, the carrier system shows dose response. Pre-dosing with a large excess of free VB12 minimized the observed activity, indicating predominance of VB12 mediated uptake. It is concluded that VB12-dextran NPs conjugate is a viable carrier for peroral insulin delivery to treat diabetics.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
