Assessment of anti-arthritic activity of lipid matrix encased berberine in rheumatic animal model

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the drug delivery and therapeutic potential of berberine (Br) loaded nanoformulation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-induced animal model. The Br-loaded NLCs (nanostructured lipid carriers) were prepared employing melt-emulsification process, and optimised through Box-Behnken design. The prepared NLCs were assessed for in-vitro and in-vivo evaluations. The optimised NLCs exhibited a mean diameter of 180.2 ± 0.31 nm with 88.32 ± 2.43% entrapment efficiency. An enhanced anti-arthritic activity with reduced arthritic scores to 0.66 ± 0.51, reduction in ankle diameter to 5.80 ± 0.27 mm, decline in paw withdrawal timing, and improvements in walking behaviour were observed in the Br-NLCs treated group. The radiographic images revealed a reduction in bone and cartilage deformation. The Br-NLCs showed promising results in the management of RA disease, can be developed as an efficient delivery system at commercial levels, and may be explored for clinical application after suitable experiments in the future.
