This invention discloses
butylphthalide nanoparticles, comprising: a layered double
hydroxide and
butylphthalide, wherein the
butylphthalide is loaded onto the layered double
hydroxide. This invention also discloses a method for preparing the above-mentioned butylphthalide nanoparticles, comprising the following steps: mixing the layered double
hydroxide, butylphthalide, and water, adsorbing, separating the
solid and liquid phases, and
drying to obtain butylphthalide nanoparticles. This invention further discloses the application of the above-mentioned butylphthalide nanoparticles in the preparation of drugs for treating acute renal
ischemia-
reperfusion injury. This invention also discloses a
drug for treating acute renal
ischemia-
reperfusion injury, comprising: the above-mentioned butylphthalide nanoparticles and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The butylphthalide nanoparticles of this invention have high
drug loading capacity, good stability, and can target and activate the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, effectively inhibit HK-2
cell apoptosis and
oxidative stress, restore mitochondrial function, and improve renal
ischemia-
reperfusion injury.
