NPs derived from ginger

DSS-induced colitis mouse model

–

In vitro and in vivo

Oral administration of GDNPs increased the survival and proliferation of IECs, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increased the anti-inflammatory cytokines in colitis models

NPs derived from ginger

Colon-26 and RAW 264.7 cells, normal mice

siCD98

In vitro and in vivo

Ginger-derived lipid vesicles can encapsulate siCD98 and a very low dose of siCD98 after oral administration specifically and efficiently reduced colonic CD98 gene expression

[120]

Angelica polysaccharide

TNBS-induced UC in rats

Dexamethasone (Dex)

In vivo

The Angelica polysaccharide-Dex conjugate greatly reduced the systemic immunosuppression caused by Dex and effectively conveyed Dex to the large intestine

[126]

Inulin

DSS-induced colitis mouse model

Budesonide

In vivo

The redox-sensitive NPs, based on amphiphilic inulin, specifically delivered budesonide to the inflamed colon tissue and exerted excellent therapeutic efficacy in comparison to drug suspension in colitis mice model

In situ self-spray coating system (DTPA dianhydride, SBC, SDS)

Caco-2 cells, raw 264.7 macrophage, DSS-induced rat colitis

Diallyl trisulfide (DATS)

In vitro and in vivo

Rectal administration of the DATS-loaded self-spray system produced exogenous H2S and suppressed the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibited the adhesion of macrophages on the vascular endothelium, and repaired colonic inflamed tissues
