[Study on the pharmacokinetics of tashinone II(A) -loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles in rabbit].

Objective: To establish a HPLC method for measuring tashinone II(A) concentration in rabbit plasma and study the pharmacokinetics of tashinone II(A) -loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles and tashinone II(A) injection in rabbits.

Methods: A single dose of TS-PLA-NP and TS II(A) injection was administered to 8 healthy rabbits via the ear-edge vein, at the set time withdrew the blood and prepared. The concentrations of tashinone II(A) in plasma were measured by HPLC with gemfibrozil as the internal standard.

Novel polymeric nanoparticles containing tanshinone IIA for the treatment of hepatoma.

Novel polylactic acid nanoparticles containing tanshinone IIA (TS-PLA-NPs) were synthesized by a single oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method. In this study, the optimized nanoparticles were characterized for morphology, mean particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, drug-loading content, X-ray diffractometer measurement, and in vitro release. The obtained nanoparticles were spherical and intact.
