Abstract

Acute liver failure and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are a common chronic liver disease worldwide, causing tremendous clinical burden. Despite the increasing prevalence of these life-threatening liver damages, effective medical treatment has not been established. Here, we developed a new treatment strategy based on ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) which is one of bile acids and effective for the liver diseases. We designed poly(ursodeoxycholic acid-oxalate) (PUOX) as a polymer prodrug of UDCA. PUOX has hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-scavenging peroxalate ester bonds and could be formulated into nanoparticles. PUOX nanoparticles released UDCA in a H₂O₂-triggered manner and exerted concurrent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects with cytoprotective actions. In mouse models of acute liver failure and NAFLD, PUOX nanoparticles exerted highly potent therapeutic effects without noticeable toxicity. PUOX nanoparticles could be a promising approach to improve the efficacy for various H₂O₂-associated liver disease.

Graphical abstract

Poly(ursodeoxycholic acid-oxalate) (PUOX) is a H₂O₂-responsive polymeric prodrug of UDCA. PUOX nanoparticles exert potent cytoprotective effects in liver diseases such as fatty acid and drug-intoxicated acute liver failure.

用于治疗急性肝损伤的胆汁酸基多药纳米粒子

急性肝衰竭和非酒精性脂肪肝是全球常见的慢性肝病，造成了巨大的临床负担。尽管这些危及生命的肝损伤的发病率越来越高，但有效的药物治疗方法尚未确立。熊去氧胆酸是胆汁酸的一种，对肝脏疾病有效。我们设计了聚熊去氧胆酸草酸盐（PUOX）作为 UDCA 的聚合物原药。PUOX 具有清除过氧化氢（H2O2）的过硫酸盐酯键，可配制成纳米颗粒。PUOX 纳米颗粒以 H2O2 触发的方式释放 UDCA，并同时发挥抗氧化和抗炎作用以及细胞保护作用。在急性肝衰竭和非酒精性脂肪肝小鼠模型中，PUOX 纳米粒子发挥了强效治疗作用，且无明显毒性。PUOX 纳米颗粒是一种具有 H2O2 反应性的 UDCA 聚合原药。PUOX 纳米颗粒对脂肪酸和药物中毒性急性肝衰竭等肝病具有强效的细胞保护作用。
