Antioxidant Activity and the Therapeutic Effect of Sinomenine Hydrochloride-Loaded Liposomes-in-Hydrogel on Atopic Dermatitis.

Abstract

Sinomenine hydrochloride is an excellent drug with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immune-regulatory, and other functions. Atopic dermatitis is an inherited allergic inflammation that causes itchiness, redness, and swelling in the affected area, which can have a significant impact on the life of the patient. There are many therapeutic methods for atopic dermatitis, and sinomenine with immunomodulatory activity might be effective in the treatment of atopic dermatitis. In this study, the atopic dermatitis model was established in experimental mice, and physical experiments were carried out on the mice. In the experiment, sinomenine hydrochloride liposomes-in-hydrogel as a new preparation was selected for delivery. In this case, liposomes were dispersed in the colloidal hydrogel on a mesoscopic scale and could provide specific transfer properties. The results showed that the sinomenine hydrochloride-loaded liposomes-in-hydrogel system could effectively inhibit atopic dermatitis.
