The invention relates to a method for preparing amphoteric radix pseudostellariae
polysaccharide-
curcumin nanoparticles through
Pickering emulsion polymerization and the amphoteric radix pseudostellariae
polysaccharide-
curcumin nanoparticles. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing amphoteric radix pseudostellariae
polysaccharide: dissolving purified radix pseudostellariae polysaccharide in water, and reacting with a
glutaric anhydride ethanol solution to prepare the amphoteric radix pseudostellariae polysaccharide; (2) preparing amphoteric radix pseudostellariae polysaccharide-
curcumin nanoparticles by an anti-
solvent method: dissolving amphoteric radix pseudostellariae polysaccharide in
ethanol to obtain an amphoteric radix pseudostellariae polysaccharide
ethanol solution, adding a certain amount of curcumin into the amphoteric radix pseudostellariae polysaccharide ethanol solution, and stirring and mixing to obtain a
mixed solution; slowly submitting the
mixed solution into a container containing the dispersion liquid, centrifuging, removing supernate, and freeze-
drying to obtain the amphoteric radix pseudostellariae polysaccharide-curcumin nano-particles. According to the invention, radix pseudostellariae polysaccharide is modified into amphoteric polysaccharide by
grafting glutaric anhydride, so that efficient loading of curcumin is realized.
