Abstract

Achieving rapid clotting and clot stability are important unmet goals of clinical management of noncompressible hemorrhage. This study reports the development of a spatiotemporally controlled release system of an antihemorrhagic drug, etamsylate, in the management of internal hemorrhage. Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (GRGDS) peptide-functionalized chitosan nanoparticles, with high affinity to bind with the GPIIa/IIIb receptor of activated platelets, were loaded with the drug etamsylate (etamsylate-loaded GRGDS peptide-functionalized chitosan nanoparticles; EGCSNP). Peptide conjugation was confirmed by LCMS, and the delivery system was characterized by DLS, SEM, XRD, and FTIR. In vitro study exhibited 90% drug release till 48 h fitting into the Weibull model. Plasma recalcification time and prothrombin time tests of GRGDS-functionalized nanoparticles proved that clot formation was 1.5 times faster than nonfunctionalized chitosan nanoparticles. The whole blood clotting time was increased by 2.5 times over clot formed under nonfunctionalized chitosan nanoparticles. Furthermore, the application of rheometric analysis revealed a 1.2 times stiffer clot over chitosan nanoparticles. In an in vivo liver laceration rabbit model, EGCSNP spatially localized at the internal injury site within 5 min of intravenous administration, and no rebleeding was recorded up to 3 h. The animals survived for 3 weeks after the injury, indicating the strong potential of the system for the management of noncompressible hemorrhage.
