Abstract

Abstract: Skin photoaging is premature skin aging damage that occurs after repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Although isothiocyanates extracted from the moringa tree ( Moringa oleifera Lam. ) (MITC) exhibit excellent effects against skin photoaging, its application is restricted because of its characteristics, such as extremely low water solubility, bioavailability, and easy degradation. Currently, flexible nanoliposomes have gained increasing interest as a biocompatible polymer for applications such as transdermal drug delivery. We prepare amphiphilic hyaluronic acid (HA) conjugated with ceramide (CE) to modify nanoliposomes for MITC (HACE/MITC NPs) delivery. The HACE/MITC nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared and characterized for entrapment efficiency, particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, in vitro release, in vivo skin permeation, and in vitro protective effect of photoaging. The zeta potential of MITC NPs and HACE/MITC NPs is −24.46 mV and −24.93 mV, respectively. After modification of HACE, the entrapment efficient of MITC liposome increased from 62.54% to 70.67%, and the particle size decreased from 266.1 nm to 192.8 nm. In vivo skin permeation, permeated drug increased from 49.42 to 71.40%. Moreover, the results showed that the entrapment of MITC in nanoliposomes improves its stability, efficacy, and skin permeation. Further, HACE/MITC NPs are favorable for uptake by HaCaT cells without requiring changes in cell morphology, which significantly improves the activities of antioxidant enzymes, scavenges UVB-induced reactive oxygen species, protects skin from damage, and reduces MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9 expression caused by radiation-induced photoaging. Our results strongly suggest that flexible nanoliposomes successfully improved the cell membrane permeation of MITC, and that anti-photoaging and HACE/MITC NPs can potentially be used as candidates for photoaging therapy.
