The invention discloses a
folic acid modified
active oxygen response type sodium alginate nano-carrier and application thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly synthesizing-Se-Se-FA: stirring dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 4-dimethylaminopyridine,
dimethyl sulfoxide /
pyridine, a double-
selenium fragment and
folic acid at
room temperature for 18-22 hours in an
argon environment; and carrying out
acetone precipitation,
centrifugation, washing, rotary
evaporation concentration and freeze-
drying. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing an ALG-Se-FA carrier, stirring
sodium alginate, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)
carbodiimide hydrochloride and hydroxysuccinimide in a 2-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid
buffer solution, adding DMSO, dissolving a double-
selenium fragment and a-Se-Se-FA fragment in DMSO and deionized water, adding the dissolved double-
selenium fragment and-Se-Se-FA fragment into a
system, stirring, dialyzing, and freeze-
drying to obtain the product. According to the carrier, a double-selenium bond ROS response unit and
folic acid targeting molecules are introduced through covalent bonds,
astaxanthin can be efficiently entrapped and protected, and after the carrier is stable in gastrointestinal environment and reaches a
colitis disease part, high ROS level can be responded, and intelligent
drug slow release is achieved through folic acid
receptor targeting.
