obesity is hallmarked by endoplasmic reticulum (er) stress, chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunctions. the control of obesity is the key to preventing the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes, cerebro-cardiovascular diseases and cancers. as a promising anti-obesity drug, plant-derived celastrol is challenged by poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability in clinical applications. the present study was designed to develop a biocompatible albumin-based nanoparticle carrier system for the controlled release of celastrol in diet-induced obese mice. celastrol was loaded into bovine serum albumin (bsa) nanoparticles to yield celastrol-bsa-nps by high pressure homogenization. celastrol-bsa-nps exhibited spherical morphology, narrow size distribution with a diameter of 125.6 ± 2.2 nm, satisfactory drug-loading efficiency at 13.88 ± 0.12% and a sustained-release profile over a period of 168 h. compared with free celastrol, celastrol-bsa-nps effectively improved cellular uptake, intestinal absorption and hepatic deposition. in animal experiments, celastrol-bsa-nps outperformed free celastrol in lowering lipid accumulation, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing inflammation in diet-induced obesity. collectively, celastrol-bsa-nps exhibited better bioavailability and in vivo efficacy in the treatment of diet-induced obesity. importantly, such albumin-based nanoparticles may be a general biocompatible drug carrier system for the controlled release of hydrophobic compounds (e.g., celastrol) for the treatment of obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
