Abstract
Xingnaojing injection (XNJ), is the first-line Chinese medicine injection approved for treating ischemic stroke (IS). XNJ can attenuate the inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, thus reversing neuronal damage of IS. This study aims to prepare the biomimetic nanoparticles (Bo-GEVs/XNJM) of nasal administration for IS treatment. The grapefruit extracellular vesicles (GEVs) loaded with microemulsions sourced from Xingnaojing injection (XNJM) are modified with borneol (Bo) to bypass the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Bo-GEVs/XNJM has the property of brain-targeting, and in vivo and in vitro experiments have validated that it has positive effects in reducing apoptosis, inhibiting oxidative stress, anti-inflammation, protecting mitochondrial function, and protecting the BBB. In summary, Bo-GEVs/XNJM has good neuroprotective effects, and provides an interventional method for the treatment of ischemic stroke.
