Many cancer survivors suffer from chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment known as ‘Chemobrain’. Doxorubicin -topoisomerase II inhibitor- is widely used in breast cancer, hematological cancers and other neoplasms. However, it is reported to precipitate cognitive impairment in cancer patients via inducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Chrysin −5,7 dihydroxyflavone- has promising antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, but suffers low bioavailability owing to its poor solubility and extensive metabolism. In the present study, chrysin was successfully formulated as transfersomal lipid vesicles and chitosan composite vesicles (CCV) exhibiting a nanometric size range, high drug entrapment efficiency, and controlled release over a 72h period. Intranasal administration of optimized chrysin formulations at a reduced dose of 0.5 mg/kg improved doxorubicin-induced memory impairment in rats evidenced by behavioral testing, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity and oxidative stress markers; catalase, reduced glutathione, lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide. This could reduce caspase-3 expression inhibiting apoptosis. Moreover, chrysin formulations were able to inhibit doxorubicin-induced Tol-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and p65 subunit of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB) protein expression which in turn, reduced procaspase-1, Cysteinyl Aspartate Protease-1 (caspase-1) and Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) protein expression via inhibiting Nod-like receptor pyrin containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Collectively, our findings suggest the enhanced therapeutic potential of chrysin when formulated as transfersomes and CCV against chemotherapy-induced chemobrain via hindering acetylcholinesterase, oxidative stress and TLR4-NF-kB(p65)-NLRP3 pathways.
