Abstract |
Chelation therapy is considered as a safe and effective strategy to combat metal poisoning. Arsenic is known to cause neurological dysfunctions such as impaired memory, encephalopathy, and peripheral neuropathy as it easily crosses the blood-brain barrier. Oxidative stress is one of the mechanisms suggested for arsenic-induced neurotoxicity. We prepared Solid Lipid nanoparticles loaded with Monoisoamyl 2, 3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (Nano-MiADMSA), and compared their efficacy with bulk MiADMSA for treating arsenic-induced neurological and other biochemical effects. Solid lipid nanoparticles entrapping MiADMSA were synthesized and particle characterization was carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). An in vivo study was planned to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of MiADMSA-encapsulated solid lipid nanoparticles (Nano-MiADMSA; 50 mg/kg orally for 5 days) and compared it with bulk MiADMSA against sodium meta-arsenite exposed rats (25 ppm in drinking water, for 12 weeks) in male rats. The results suggested the size of Nano-MiADMSA was between 100−120 nm ranges. We noted enhanced chelating properties of Nano-MiADMSA compared with bulk MiADMSA as evident by the reversal of oxidative stress variables like blood δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (δ-ALAD), Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), Catalase activity, Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS), Reduced Glutathione (GSH) and Oxidized Glutathione (GSSG), Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx), Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and efficient removal of arsenic from the blood and tissues. Recoveries in neurobehavioral parameters further confirmed nano-MiADMSA to be more effective than bulk MiADMSA. We conclude that treatment with Nano-MiADMSA is a better therapeutic strategy than bulk MiADMSA in reducing the effects of arsenic-induced oxidative stress and associated neurobehavioral changes.
