摘要
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the primary hair loss with impairing patients' quality of life. Finasteride (FIN) is an SRD5A2 inhibitor for AGA treatment, but oral FIN causes systemic adverse effects. Topical FIN delivery is anticipated to overcome this problem. Ferulic acid (FA) is a natural phenolic acid with vascular remodeling and anti-inflammatory effects. Herein, an active pharmaceutical ingredient ionic liquid (API IL) based on choline and FA (CF-IL) is for the first time constructed to load FIN for fabricating FIN CF-IL. CF-IL aims to act as carriers and cargos and enhance hair follicle (HF) co-delivery of FA and FIN for synergistic anti-alopecia. Thermal and spectroscopic analysis combined with quantum chemistry calculations and molecular dynamics confirm the formation of CF-IL. The CF-IL simultaneously increases the solubility of FA (∼648-fold) and FIN (∼686-fold), enhances the permeation and retention of FIN and FA through the follicular pathway, and promotes cellular uptake. FIN CFIL regulates the abnormal mRNA expressions in dihydrotestosterone-irritated hDPCs, and promotes hair regrowth in AGA mice in a combined manner with FIN and FA. These findings suggest that FA-based API IL is a promising approach for percutaneously co-delivering FA and FIN to HF, providing an enhanced targeting treatment for AGA.
