ABSTRACT
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-based nanosystems have garnered significant attention for their ability to alleviate inflammation due to their excellent anti-inflammatory properties and enhanced drug delivery capabilities. However, the degradation of EGCG in strongly acidic environments poses a challenge for potential administration, particularly in oral formulations, where gastric resistance is essential. In this study, we develop a "disintegration and reorganization" strategy to create acid-resistant antioxidant nanoparticles (EGA NPs) based on EGCG and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) for mitigating inflammation in colitis and acute kidney injury. At acidic pH, the ester bond in EGCG breaks down, producing two building blocks. These, together with 5-ASA and formaldehyde, form oligomers through a combination of phenol-aldehyde condensation and the Mannich reaction. The resulting oligomers self-assemble into EGA NPs, which exhibit significant stability under both acidic and neutral pH conditions. This stability makes them suitable for oral administration, allowing them to withstand harsh gastric conditions, as well as for intravenous injection. Importantly, these oligomers retain the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of EGCG, effectively scavenging reactive oxygen species and reducing intracellular oxidative stress. Additionally, EGA shows potential as a drug carrier, efficiently loading the anti-inflammatory agent curcumin (Cur) to form Cur@EGA NPs. In vivo studies demonstrate the efficacy of Cur@EGA and EGA in alleviating acute colitis and kidney injury following oral and intravenous administration, respectively. These nanoparticulate formulations exhibit superior inflammation reduction compared to free Cur in vivo. Overall, our findings introduce a novel acid-resistant nanoplatform based on EGCG for the treatment of acute inflammation.
