OBJECTIVE To develop a novel gastric retention drug delivery system incorporating curcumin(Cur), based on the shape memory polypropylene carbonate-polyethylene glycol (PPC-PEG), with the objective of enhancing the in vivo bioavailability of Cur. METHODS The curcumin-cyclodextrin inclusion complex (Cur_β-CD) was prepared and loaded onto the shape memory polypropylene carbonate-polyethylene glycol composite film (PPC-PEG) to create the expanded gastric retention drug delivery system (Cur_β-CD_PPC-PEG); multiple characterization, proliferation inhibition analysis of human gastric cancer cells (SGC-7901) in vitro, and pharmacokinetics analysis in rats were then performed. RESULTS After cyclodextrin inclusion, the water solubility of Cur_β-CD was 35.85 times higher than that of Cur. The deformation recovery rate of the composite film PPC-PEG(7.5∶2.5) is 88.6% at 37 ℃. The Cur was physically incorporated into the composite film of Cur_β-CD_PPC-PEG, and the loaded Cur exhibited excellent thermal stability. The loaded Cur has a certain effect on the shape memory performance of PPC-PEG; however, it still satisfies the requirement for deformation recovery rate as a deformable gastric retention formulation. The in vitro cumulative release rate of Cur_β-CD_PPC-PEG over a 48-hour period was determined to be 71.42%. The Cur_β-CD_PPC-PEG exhibits significant efficacy in vitro against the proliferation of gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells, with a remarkable inhibitory rate of 86.64% observed after 48 h of treatment. The pharmacokinetic results showed that the area under the curve (AUC0-24) and the retention time in vivo (MRT0-24) of Cur_β-CD_PPC-PEG were 9.73 times and 2.95 times higher than those of Cur. CONCLUSION In this study, a novel shape memory gastric retention drug delivery system of Cur_β-CD_PPC-PEG is successfully prepared. The system exhibits a favorable drug controlled release effect within 48 h, characterized by rapid onset, prolonged duration of efficacy, and high bioavailability.
