摘要： Baicalin (BA), a flavonoid with diverse bioactivities, faces clinical application challenges due to its poor solubility, low bioavailability, and limited stability. This study reports on the development of BA-loaded peony seed polypeptide nanoparticles (BA-PSP NPs) using a pH-driven method to overcome these limitations. These nano-particles (NPs) were spherical, 88.20 +/- 2.19 nm in size, with a zeta potential of-35 mV, demonstrating excellent stability under thermal, pH, salt ion, and storage conditions. Physicochemical assays confirmed that BA was encapsulated in an amorphous state within the peony seed peptide matrix, with an encapsulation efficiency of 81.37 +/- 0.57 %. The nanosystem effectively protected BA from degradation in simulated gastrointestinal environments. In vitro assays revealed that BA-PSP NPs exerted a superior anti-inflammatory effect compared to free BA mediated via inhibiting pro-inflammatory factor secretion (IL-1 beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha) and promoting antiinflammatory factor production (IL-10) in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells, as well as validated via qPCR for corresponding mRNA regulation. This study develops pH-driven self-assembled peony seed peptide nanoparticles as green and safe colon-targeted carriers, effectively encapsulating polyphenols with enhanced stability and bioavailability, thereby providing technical support for functional food development and precision nutraceutical delivery systems.
