N2 - Plant-derived vesicles (PDVs) are attractive for therapeutic applications, including as potential nanocarriers. However, a concern with oral delivery of PDVs is whether they would remain intact in the gastrointestinal tract. We found that 82% of cabbage PDVs were destroyed under conditions mimicking the upper digestive tract. To overcome this limitation, we developed a delivery method whereby lyophilized Eudragit S100–coated cabbage PDVs were packaged into a capsule (Cap-cPDVs). Lyophilization and suspension of PDVs did not have an appreciable impact on PDV structure, number, or therapeutic effect. Additionally, packaging the lyophilized Eudragit S100-coated PDVs into capsules allowed them to pass through the upper gastrointestinal tract for delivery into the colon better than did suspension of PDVs in phosphate-buffered saline. Cap-cPDVs showed robust therapeutic effect in a dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis mouse model. These findings could have broad implications for the use of PDVs as orally delivered nanocarriers of natural therapeutic plant compounds or other therapeutics.
