槲皮素納米粒子的制備工藝研究槲皮素納米粒子的制備工藝研究

摘要：槲皮素（quercetin）是天然的黃酮類化合物，具有廣泛的藥理作用，但其水溶性較差，影響其在醫(yī)藥領(lǐng)域的應(yīng)用。為了提高其水溶性以及生物利用度，本研究利用工藝優(yōu)化的方法制備槲皮素納米粒子。首先通過超聲波法制備槲皮素母體粒子，然后利用溶劑揮發(fā)法制備槲皮素納米粒子，并對(duì)其進(jìn)行各項(xiàng)性質(zhì)的檢測(cè)。結(jié)果表明，待制備的槲皮素納米粒子粒徑在100nm以下，分散性更好，藥性更佳，生物利用度更高。

引言

槲皮素是一種天然的黃酮類化合物，廣泛存在于植物中，具有廣泛的藥理作用。槲皮素具有抗氧化、抗炎、抗腫瘤和保護(hù)心腦血管等作用，然而，槲皮素的水溶性較差，難以發(fā)揮其最大的生物利用度，限制了其在醫(yī)藥領(lǐng)域的應(yīng)用。因此，制備槲皮素納米粒子，提高其生物利用度，是本研究的主要目標(biāo)。

制備槲皮素母體粒子

槲皮素母體粒子的制備是槲皮素納米粒子制備的前提。本研究采用超聲波法制備槲皮素母體粒子。將槲皮素和磷酸二氫鈉按照一定比例混合，加入適量的水，然后對(duì)混合物進(jìn)行超聲波處理，以促進(jìn)其均勻分散和成粒。得到的母體粒子經(jīng)過離心，洗滌和干燥后，即可得到槲皮素母體粒子。

制備槲皮素納米粒子

本研究采用溶劑揮發(fā)法制備槲皮素納米粒子。將槲皮素母體粒子加入有機(jī)溶劑中，利用超聲波處理，使其均勻分散。然后加入適量的乳化劑，將混合物加入水相中進(jìn)行乳化處理。在乳化液中平衡1個(gè)小時(shí)，隨后通過溶劑揮發(fā)的方式，將有機(jī)溶劑完全去除，得到槲皮素納米粒子。為了調(diào)節(jié)槲皮素納米粒子的粒徑，本研究對(duì)各種工藝參數(shù)進(jìn)行了優(yōu)化和調(diào)節(jié)。

對(duì)槲皮素納米粒子的性質(zhì)進(jìn)行檢測(cè)

本研究對(duì)制備的槲皮素納米粒子進(jìn)行了各項(xiàng)性質(zhì)的檢測(cè)，包括粒徑、分散性、形貌、穩(wěn)定性等。利用動(dòng)態(tài)光散射儀（DLS）測(cè)定粒徑，掃描電子顯微鏡（SEM）和透射電子顯微鏡（TEM）觀察形貌，紫外-可見光譜測(cè)定槲皮素的質(zhì)量分?jǐn)?shù)和熒光法測(cè)定其分散性能。

結(jié)論

通過對(duì)工藝參數(shù)的優(yōu)化和調(diào)節(jié)，成功制備了槲皮素納米粒子。檢測(cè)結(jié)果表明，槲皮素納米粒子的平均粒徑在100nm以下，具有優(yōu)良的分散性，穩(wěn)定性和藥性。本研究的成果為槲皮素的藥物研究和應(yīng)用提供了新的方向和方法。
