[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0045] In addition, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that a person of ordinary skill in the art can realize the combination. When the combination of technical solutions appears to be contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope of the present application.

[0046] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the present application are conventional methods, and the reagents and equipment can be obtained from commercial channels.

[0047] The technical solutions proposed in the present application will be specifically described below through specific embodiments:

[0048] Example 1: Extraction and characterization of P. multiflora vesicle-like nanoparticles

[0049] I. Extraction of P. multiflora vesicle-like nanoparticles

[0050] Step one, dry P. multiflora roots were placed in a pulverizer and pulverized for 30 s to obtain particles with a size of 50 mesh. According to a ratio of w / v of 1:6, ultrapure water was added and decocted for 45 min. After cooling, the P. multiflora decoction was obtained by filtering and squeezing using 100-mesh gauze.

[0051] Step two, the P. multiflora decoction was gradient centrifuged at 4℃ to remove dead cells, cell debris and large vesicle-like nanoparticles. The centrifugation steps were as follows: 1000g for 10 min, 3000g for 20 min and 10000g for 40 min. The supernatant was taken to obtain the crude extract of P. multiflora vesicle-like nanoparticles.

[0052] Step three, the crude extract of P. multiflora vesicle-like nanoparticles was ultracentrifuged at 150000g for 70 min at 4℃. The supernatant was discarded, and the bottom precipitate was resuspended with a phosphate buffer to obtain the crude extract of P. multiflora vesicle-like nanoparticles.

[0053] Step four, the crude extract of P. multiflora vesicle-like nanoparticles was centrifuged at 5000rpm for 2 min at 4℃ to remove the agglomerated particles. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.22-μm filter membrane to obtain stable and uniform P. multiflora vesicle-like nanoparticles.

[0054] The obtained Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles were stored at -80°C.

[0055] II. Characterization of Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles

[0056] 1. Transmission electron microscope observation of its morphology: Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles were diluted to 4 mg / mL, about 20 μL sample was dropped on the copper grid, and Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles were allowed to settle for 3-5 min, and then the excess water was wiped off. Then it was placed on 2% phosphotungstic acid staining solution for 1-2 min, and the excess staining solution was wiped off, and it was naturally air-dried. The copper grid was imaged using a transmission electron microscope, and a low-power lens was used for observation to determine the area to be imaged, and then a high-power lens was used to collect images.

[0057] From the above, Figure 2 it can be seen that Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles are cup-shaped structures under the microscope, have obvious lipid bilayers, are similar to animal exosome structures, and have a size of 100-200 nm.

[0058] 2. Nanoparticle tracking analysis for detecting the particle size distribution: Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles were diluted to 1 mg / mL, and Zetaview-PMX120-Z was used for nanoparticle tracking analysis of Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles to determine the particle size and particle number distribution graph.

[0059] From the above, Figure 3 it can be seen that the average particle size of Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles is 198.3 nm, which is consistent with the transmission electron microscope observation result, and there are about 1.5 x 10 11 nanoparticles in 1 mg / mL of Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles.

[0060] 3. Potential analysis of Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles: Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles were diluted to 1 mg / mL, and the sample cell was added, the electrode was inserted into the sample cell, and connected with the instrument, and the nanoparticle size and Zeta potential analyzer were used for potential determination.

[0061] From the above, Figure 4 it can be seen that the potential of Puerariae radix vesicle-like nanoparticles in phosphate buffer is -5.86 mv, which is consistent with the theory that the lipid bilayer is negatively charged.

[0062] 4. Gastrointestinal Stability Analysis of Kudzu Root Vesicle-like Nanoparticles: Simulated gastric and intestinal fluids were prepared according to the United States Pharmacopeia. The formulations of the simulated gastric and intestinal fluids were: 80 mM HCl, 35 mM NaCl, 0.3% pepsin, pH 1.2 and 15 mM NaOH, 50 mM KH2PO4, 1% trypsin, pH 6.8, respectively. Kudzu root vesicle-like nanoparticles were dispersed in phosphate buffer, simulated gastric and intestinal fluids at a concentration of 1 mg / mL. After incubation at 200 rpm and 37 °C for 2 h, the morphology and structure of the kudzu root vesicle-like nanoparticles under different treatments were observed by transmission electron microscopy.

[0063] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that the morphology of kudzu vesicle-like nanoparticles did not change before and after digestion, and their structure remained intact. This indicates that kudzu vesicle-like nanoparticles have the ability to resist gastrointestinal digestion and can pass through the gastrointestinal tract to reach inflamed intestinal sites via oral delivery.

[0064] 5. Lipidome analysis of kudzu vesicle-like nanoparticles

[0065] Lipids were extracted from kudzu vesicle-like nanoparticles using organic reagents, and the lipids were sequenced and analyzed using a high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry system.

[0066] Depend on Figure 6 As can be seen from A, the lipids in the vesicle-like nanoparticles of kudzu root are mainly glycerol lipids, glycerophospholipids, and sphingolipids. The lipid subclasses mainly include triglycerides, diglycerides, ceramides, phosphatidylcholine, hexosylceramide, and phosphatidylethanolamine. Figure 6 KEGG analysis of B showed that lipids in kudzu vesicle-like nanoparticles are mainly related to various cellular processes (transport and catabolism, cell growth and death), environmental information processing (signal molecules and interactions, signal transduction), metabolism (lipid metabolism, biosynthesis and metabolism of glycans, carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, etc.), and various organic systems (sensory system, nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, etc.).

[0067] 6. Quantitative analysis of puerarin content by high performance liquid chromatography

[0068] Accurately weigh 5 mg of puerarin standard, dissolve in 5 mL of methanol (HPLC grade) to make a 1 mg / mL stock solution. Take 400 μL of the stock solution, dilute to 2 mL, vortex mix, then take 1 mL again, dilute to 2 mL, repeat this step, and continuously dilute the standard to prepare the standard curve. (Standard curve concentrations: 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125 μg / mL). Mix according to the ratio of puerarin vesicle-like nanoparticles: methanol = 1:9, vortex for 30 s, centrifuge at 12000 g for 10 min, take the supernatant for high performance liquid chromatography analysis. Use a C18 reverse phase chromatographic column (specifications: 4.6 x 250 mm, filler particle size: 5 μm) produced by Agilent Company for separation. The mobile phase system is composed of acetonitrile and 0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution, with a volume ratio of 12:88. The chromatographic conditions are set as follows: constant flow rate 1.0 mL / min, UV detection wavelength 250 nm, column temperature control at 30°C. Each injection is 10 μL. Obtain the peak area signal of the target compound in each sample by high performance liquid chromatography. Use the external standard method to quantify and establish a standard curve with a series of gradient concentrations of puerarin standard solution, where the standard concentration (μg / mL) is the abscissa (X axis), and the corresponding chromatographic peak area is the ordinate (Y axis). According to the standard curve equation, combined with the chromatographic peak area value of puerarin in the puerarin vesicle-like nanoparticle sample, calculate its content.

[0069] Figure 7 A is the established standard curve, which is Figure 7 B, it can be known that the content of puerarin in puerarin vesicle-like nanoparticles is 35.4 ± 1.2 μg / mg of puerarin vesicle-like nanoparticles.

[0070] Example 2: Therapeutic application of puerarin vesicle-like nanoparticles in ulcerative colitis

[0071] I. Establishment of animal model of ulcerative colitis and administration of puerarin vesicle-like nanoparticles for treatment

[0072] An ulcerative colitis animal model was established using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). After 7 days of acclimation, 15 C57BL / 6 male mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, 5 mice in each group: healthy control group, DSS control group, DSS + pueraria vesicle-like nanoparticle group. Except for the healthy control group, the remaining two groups of mice were given 2% DSS (w / v) in the drinking water for 7 consecutive days, with fresh DSS solution replaced every other day. At the same time of drinking DSS, except for the healthy control group of mice, the DSS group of mice were given 200 μL of phosphate buffer by gavage daily, and the DSS + pueraria vesicle-like nanoparticle group of mice were given 0.35 mg of pueraria vesicle-like nanoparticles by gavage daily. The body weight change, fecal consistency and bleeding of the mice were monitored daily, and the disease activity index (disease activity index = body weight loss score (<1% - 0, 1-5% - 1, 6-10% - 2, 11-20% - 3, >20% - 4) + fecal state score (normal - 0, soft stool - 1, loose stool - 2, watery stool - 3) + bleeding score (normal - 0, mild bleeding - 1, obvious bleeding - 2, massive bleeding - 3)) was used for scoring. The mice were sacrificed on the 7th day, and the colon of the mice was taken, photographed, and the corresponding tissues were saved.

[0073] As can be seen from Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the body weight of the healthy control group of mice increased steadily, the fecal condition was normal, and there was no bleeding phenomenon. From the 3rd day, the body weight of the DSS group of mice began to decrease, and then continuously fell to about 90%, accompanied by diarrhea and fecal bleeding, and the disease activity index increased significantly. After treatment with pueraria vesicle-like nanoparticles, the phenomenon was significantly alleviated, the body weight of the mice decreased slowly, and was about 97% of the initial body weight, and the disease activity index also decreased, indicating that pueraria vesicle-like nanoparticles significantly alleviated the symptoms of colitis.

[0074] As can be seen from Figure 10 , the colon length of the healthy control group of mice was 7.29 cm, the colon of the DSS group was significantly shortened, only 4.79 cm, and after administration of pueraria vesicle-like nanoparticles, the colon length increased to 5.83 cm. This also effectively indicates that pueraria vesicle-like nanoparticles can alleviate ulcerative colitis.

[0075] In previous studies, puerarin was typically used at doses of 50-200 mg / kg to treat colitis. Subsequent studies used puerarin vesicular nanoparticles at a dose of only 15 mg / kg, indicating that puerarin vesicular nanoparticles can achieve the same effect as high-dose puerarin at a lower dose. Furthermore, the puerarin content in the 15 mg / kg puerarin vesicular nanoparticles was only 0.531 mg / kg, far below the dose required for puerarin to exert its effect. This result suggests that the effect of puerarin vesicular nanoparticles in alleviating IBD may be due to other active substances, or it may be due to the excellent delivery effect of the puerarin vesicular nanoparticles, allowing low-dose puerarin to achieve the same effect as high-dose puerarin.

[0076] II. Assessment of colonic pathological damage in mice using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining

[0077] Distal colon tissue was taken and fixed by immersion in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 hours. After rinsing with running water for 4-6 hours to remove excess paraformaldehyde, H&E staining analysis was then performed.

[0078] Depend on Figure 11 It was found that the DSS group mice exhibited significant inflammatory cell infiltration in the intestines, disruption of the intestinal epithelial barrier, disappearance of crypt structures, and a reduction in goblet cells. In contrast, the intestines of mice orally administered kudzu vesicle-like nanoparticles were similar to those of the healthy control group, with intact crypt structures, a significant increase in goblet cells, and no significant inflammatory cell infiltration, indicating that kudzu vesicle-like nanoparticles effectively alleviated colitis in mice.

[0079] This invention provides a method for extracting vesicular nanoparticles from kudzu root. These vesicular nanoparticles are approximately 200 nm in size and have a negative zeta potential. They exhibit good gastrointestinal stability, maintaining their morphology and structure intact after digestion in simulated gastrointestinal fluids. They can reach and remain at the site of inflammation, exerting their therapeutic effect. The vesicular nanoparticles are rich in lipids and proteins, playing important roles in biological processes such as metabolism, various cellular processes, and carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. They also contain trace amounts of puerarin. This invention is the first to extract stable and homogeneous vesicular nanoparticles from kudzu root decoction after high-temperature boiling. This provides a new approach for exploring novel active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine and a new method for treating ulcerative colitis.

[0080] In summary, the application provides a extraction method of Pueraria lobata vesicle-like nanoparticles and application thereof, the Pueraria lobata vesicle-like nanoparticles as a new active ingredient in Pueraria lobata are nanostructures carrying proteins, lipids and other active substances, which improve the bioavailability of effective components in Pueraria lobata, can treat ulcerative colitis by relieving intestinal inflammation, restoring intestinal barrier and balancing intestinal microecology; and the Pueraria lobata vesicle-like nanoparticles have good gastrointestinal stability and inflammation site retention, so that they can be used as oral preparations, greatly improving patient compliance. Pueraria lobata is widely available, and the vesicle-like nanoparticle extraction process is simple, so that the Pueraria lobata vesicle-like nanoparticles have the characteristics of easy acquisition and low cost, and have superior biocompatibility, no obvious toxicity to healthy tissue cells, low immunogenicity, small risk, and are suitable for commercial production. The application extracts stable vesicle-like nanoparticles from Pueraria lobata decoction liquid subjected to high-temperature decoction, which also provides a reference for subsequent research on vesicle-like nanoparticles in dried plants; provides a new idea for exploring active substances for treating ulcerative colitis in traditional Chinese medicine, promotes the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine; and provides a new route for the use of traditional Chinese medicinal materials.
