Abstract

In order to better promote the application of the polymeric mixed micelles (PMMs) in oral delivery, in addition to focusing on the improvement of micellar structural stability, it is necessary to obtain the absorption characteristics of the intact micellar particles. In this work, the transport behavior across Caco-2 cells of FS/PMMs composed of Pluronic F127 and Solutol HS15 was tracked by encapsulating an environment-responsive probe into the particles. The specific property of the probe is the water-initiated aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) ability, by which integral particles can be identified accurately. The influence of polymeric ratios (FS) on the transcellular behavior of FS/PMMs was explored and the single pass intestinal perfusion experiment was used to further illustrate it. Moreover, pharmacokinetics parameters were detected to analyze the relationship among FS ratios, transport behavior, and pharmacokinetic parameters. FS ratios were found to hardly affect the endocytosis pathways and intracellular itinerary of FS/PMMs, but do affect the proportion of each path. FS/PMMs with high HS15 content, namely System-I, were found to primarily undergo receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway and be less susceptible to lysosomal degradation, which would lead to more absorption and higher Cmax and AUC than drug suspension. In contrast, despite System-II with high F127 content cannot contribute to drug plasma concentration, it can prolong the in vivo retention time. These findings provided evidence for the role of polymeric ratios in modulating the transcellular absorption and pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug-loaded PMMs, and would be a step forward in helping PMMs' design to enhance oral drug delivery.
