PG - 246-256 LID - S0378-5173(17)30821-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2017.08.103 [doi] AB - Estrogen receptor-beta005 (ER-beta005) is a novel compound developed by our group; however, its application has been greatly hindered due to its low solubility. A nanosuspension of insoluble drugs is a nanoscale colloidal dispersion that has extremely higher drug-loading compared with other nanomedicines. In this study, nanosuspensions of ER-beta005 (Nano-ER-beta005) stabilized by a food protein, beta-casein (beta-CN), were prepared via an antisolvent-precipitation method to improve oral absorption and thus promote therapeutic efficacy. Nano-ER-beta005, which has a diameter of 110nm and drug-loading of 50%, was developed. Analyses of fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectra demonstrated a strong interaction between beta-CN and drug particles in Nano-ER-beta005, indicating that beta-CN is a potent nanosuspension stabilizer. The oral bioavailability of Nano-ER-beta005 was 1.6-fold greater than that of raw drug particles. Additionally, ER-beta005 was confirmed to have a strong therapeutic effect against pain reactions in animal models, and inhibition of this effect was significantly increased with Nano-ER-beta005 treatment. In conclusion, by using beta-CN as a stabilizer, nanosuspensions of ER-beta005 were developed and oral absorption was enhanced. Moreover, ER-beta005 is a powerful drug that inhibits pain reactions, and its therapeutic efficacy was markedly increased in the Nano-ER-beta005. CI - Copyright (c) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
