Objective: To optimize formulation of tanshinone II(A)-loaded PLGA nanoparticles and compare the difference of two methods in preparation and quality of nanoparticles.
Method: The two methods were nanoprecipitation method and emulsion-evaporation method. Single factor experiments and central composite design and response surface method were used to optimize the formulation of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized at size, morphology, entrapment efficiency, drug loading, drug recovery rate, crystallinity and drug release in vitro.
Result: The mean diameters were 225 nm and 183 nm, the entrapment efficiency were 95.49% and 87.99%, the drug loading were 2.03% and 0.16%, and the drug recovery rates were 38.42% and 17.59% respectively for nanoprecipitation method and emulsion-evaporation method.
Conclusion: Nanoprecipitation method was better than emulsion-evaporation method for preparation of tanshinone II(A)-loaded PLGA nanoparticles.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal respiratory disease characterized by chronic, progressive scarring of the lung parenchyma, leading to an irreversible decline in lung function. Apart from supportive care, there is currently no specific treatment available to reverse the disease. Based on the fact that tanshinone IIA (TAN) had an effect on protecting against TGF-β1-induced fibrosis through the inhibition of Smad and non-Smad signal pathways to avoid myofibroblasts activation, this study reported the development of the inhalable tanshinone IIA-loaded chitosan-oligosaccharides-coated poly(lactic--glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (CPN@TAN) for enhancing the pulmonary delivery of tanshinone IIA to treat pulmonary fibrosis.

Impaired gut homeostasis is associated with stroke often presenting with leaky gut syndrome and increased gut, brain, and systemic inflammation that further exacerbates brain damage. We previously reported that intracisternal administration of Tanshinone IIA-loaded nanoparticles (Tan IIA-NPs) and transplantation of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells (iNSCs) led to enhanced neuroprotective and regenerative activity and improved recovery in a pig stroke model. We hypothesized that Tan IIA-NP + iNSC combination therapy-mediated stroke recovery may also have an impact on gut inflammation and integrity in the stroke pigs.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases that characterized by the accumulation of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ). Overexpressions of Aβ could induce oxidative stress that might be a key insult to initiate the cascades of Aβ accumulation. As a result, anti-oxidative stress and attenuating Aβ accumulation might be one promising intervention for AD treatment.

Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells (iNSCs) are a multimodal stroke therapeutic that possess neuroprotective, regenerative, and cell replacement capabilities post-ischemia. However, long-term engraftment and efficacy of iNSCs is limited by the cytotoxic microenvironment post-stroke. Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) is a therapeutic that demonstrates anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects in rodent ischemic stroke models and stroke patients.

Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more serious form; acute respiratory distress syndrome are major causes of COVID-19 related mortality. Finding new therapeutic targets for ALI is thus of great interest. This work aimed to prepare a biocompatible nanoformulation for effective pulmonary delivery of the herbal drug; tanshinone-IIA (TSIIA) for ALI management.
