As a pH-sensitive nanomaterial, Eudragit S100 has good colon targeting. However, little research has been carried out on its mesoscopic scale. In this paper, the self-assembly behavior of Pulsatilla saponins D (PSD) and Eudragit S100, as well as the loading and release mechanism of PSD, was investigated via computer simulations. The effects of the self-assembly characteristics of PSD and Eudragit S100 in the dry powder state on the drug-carrier ratio were explored by the coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) method. According to the pH-responsive feature of Eudragit S100, the drug protection under gastric pH conditions and release in colonic pH conditions were simulated through the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method, which has provided insights into the microscopic morphological changes in the pH-sensitive drug delivery systems.

ABSTRACTA coarse-grained model of peptide amphiphiles (PA) dissolved in aqueous solution was presented, where the effects of PA concentration, temperature and shear stress upon the self-assembly of PA were numerically studied by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation. We technically investigate the repulsion parameter aHW which indicates the repulsion force between the hydrophilic head of PA and water molecules, hence, at the same time, indicating the change in temperature. It was found that aHW played an important role in the self-assembly dynamics and in the resulting micro-structures of PA. By imposing shear strain on the simulation system, the formation of wormlike PA micelles was accelerated. The simulation results were in good agreement with our previous experimental results and the mechanism of shear-induced transition was proposed.
