Research indicates that ulcerative colitis (UC) is driven by inflammatory cascade reaction and gut microbiota dysbiosis within the inflammatory microenvironment. Paeoniflorin total glycosides (TGP) has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties and regulate gut microbiota; Piperine (PIP) can enhance the gastrointestinal absorption of TGP. In this study, Pluronic P123/F68 was used as a carrier to construct a co-loaded micelle of TGP and PIP (TGP-PIP-MMs). The formulation was evaluated through characterization, changes in cytokines and alterations in the intestinal microbiota.
