Abstract
The oral delivery of biologics such as therapeutic proteins, peptides and oligonucleotides for the treatment of colon related diseases has been the focus of increasing attention over the last years. However, the major disadvantage of these macromolecules is their degradation propensity in liquid state which can lead to the undesirable and complete loss of function. Therefore, to increase the stability of the biologic and reduce their degradation propensity, formulation techniques such as solidification can be performed to obtain a stable solid dosage form for oral administration. Due to their fragility, stress exerted on the biologic during solidification has to be reduced with the incorporation of stabilizing excipients into the formulation. This review focuses on the state-of-the-art solidification techniques required to obtain a solid dosage form for the oral delivery of biologics to the colon and the use of suitable excipients for adequate stabilization upon solidification. The solidifying processes discussed within this review are spray drying, freeze drying, bead coating and also other techniques such as spray freeze drying, electro spraying, vacuum- and supercritical fluid drying. Further, the colon as site of absorption in both healthy and diseased state is critically reviewed and possible oral delivery systems for biologics are discussed.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of many diseases, including apparently unrelated conditions such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, osteoporosis, and tumors, but the use of conventional anti-inflammatory drugs to treat these diseases is generally not very effective given their adverse effects. In addition, some alternative anti-inflammatory medications, such as many natural compounds, have scarce solubility and stability, which are associated with low bioavailability. Therefore, encapsulation within nanoparticles (NPs) may represent an effective strategy to enhance the pharmacological properties of these bioactive molecules, and poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) NPs have been widely used because of their high biocompatibility and biodegradability and possibility to finely tune erosion time, hydrophilic/hydrophobic nature, and mechanical properties by acting on the polymer's composition and preparation technique. Many studies have been focused on the use of PLGA-NPs to deliver immunosuppressive treatments for autoimmune and allergic diseases or to elicit protective immune responses, such as in vaccination and cancer immunotherapy. By contrast, this review is focused on the use of PLGA NPs in preclinical in vivo models of other diseases in which a key role is played by chronic inflammation or unbalance between the protective and reparative phases of inflammation, with a particular focus on intestinal bowel disease; cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, osteoarticular, and ocular diseases; and wound healing.

Abstract
Chronic, multifactorial illnesses of the gastrointestinal tract include inflammatory bowel diseases. One of the greatest methods for regulated medicine administration in a particular region of inflammation is the nanoparticle system. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been utilized as drug delivery systems in the pharmaceutical industry. The goal of the current study is to synthesize drug-loaded Ag NPs using a previously described 3-methyl-1-phenylbutan-2-amine, as a mebeverine precursor (MP). Methods: A green, galactose-assisted method for the rapid synthesis and stabilization of Ag NPs as a drug-delivery system is presented. Galactose was used as a reducing and capping agent forming a thin layer encasing the nanoparticles. Results: The structure, size distribution, zeta potential, surface charge, and the role of the capping agent of drug-loaded Ag NPs were discussed. The drug release of the MP-loaded Ag NPs was also investigated. The Ag NPs indicated a very good drug release between 80 and 85%. Based on the preliminary results, Ag NPs might be a promising medication delivery system for MP and a useful treatment option for inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, future research into the potential medical applications of the produced Ag NPs is necessary.

Surface-anchored microbial enzyme-responsive solid lipid nanoparticles enabling colonic budesonide release for ulcerative colitis treatment. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:145.

Abstract
Colon-targeted oral drug delivery systems (CDDSs) are desirable for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), which is a disease with high relapse and remission rates associated with immune system inflammation and dysregulation localized within the lining of the large bowel. However, the success of current available approaches used for colon-targeted therapy is limited. Budesonide (BUD) is a corticosteroid drug, and its rectal and oral formulations are used to treat UC, but the inconvenience of rectal administration and the systemic toxicity of oral administration restrict its long-term use. In this study, we designed and prepared colon-targeted solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) encapsulating BUD to treat UC by oral administration. A negatively charged surfactant (NaCS-C12) was synthesized to anchor cellulase-responsive layers consisting of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) formed by negatively charged NaCS and cationic chitosan onto the SLNs. The release rate and colon-specific release behavior of BUD could be easily modified by regulating the number of coated layers. We found that the two-layer BUD-loaded SLNs (SLN-BUD-2L) with a nanoscale particle size and negative zeta potential showed the designed colon-specific drug release profile in response to localized high cellulase activity. In addition, SLN-BUD-2L exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model, suggesting its potential anti-UC applications.

Design, Development, and Optimisation of Smart Linker Chemistry for Targeted Colonic Delivery-In Vitro Evaluation. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15010303.

Abstract
Drug targeting is necessary to deliver drugs to a specific site of action at a rate dictated by therapeutic requirements. The pharmacological action of a drug can thereby be optimised while minimising adverse effects. Numerous colonic drug delivery systems have been developed to avoid such undesirable side effects; however, these systems lack site specificity, leaving room for further improvement. The objective of the present study was to explore the potential of amino-alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl (amino-AOCOM) ether prodrugs as a general approach for future colonic delivery. To circumvent inter- and intra-subject variabilities in enzyme activities, these prodrugs do not rely on enzymes but rather are activated via a pH-triggered intramolecular cyclisation−elimination reaction. As proof of concept, model compounds were synthesised and evaluated under various pH conditions, simulating various regions of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Probe 15 demonstrated excellent stability under simulated stomach- and duodenum-like conditions and protected 60% of the payload in a small intestine-like environment. Moreover, 15 displayed sustained release at colonic pH, delivering >90% of the payload over 38 h. Mesalamine (Msl) prodrugs 21 and 22 were also synthesised and showed better stability than probe 15 in the simulated upper GIT but relatively slower release at colonic pH (61−68% of Msl over 48 h). For both prodrugs, the extent of release was comparable to that of the commercial product Asacol. This study provides initial proof of concept regarding the use of a cyclisation-activated prodrug for colon delivery and suggests that release characteristics still vary on a case-by-case basis.

Abstract
Various colon-targeted oral delivery systems have been explored so far to treat colorectal diseases, including timed-release systems, prodrugs, pH-based polymer coatings, and microflora-triggered systems. Among them, the microbially triggered system has gained attention. Among various oral colon-targeted delivery systems discussed, the polysaccharide-based colon-targeted delivery system has been found to be quite promising as polysaccharides remain unaffected by gastric as well as upper intestine milieu and are only digested by colonic bacteria upon reaching the colon. The major bottleneck associated with this delivery is that non-suitability of this system during the diseased state due to decrease in bacterial count at that time. This causes the failure of delivery system to release the drug even at colonic site as the polysaccharide matrix/coat cannot be digested properly due to lack of bacteria. The co-administration of probiotics is reported to compensate for the bacterial loss besides facilitating site-specific release. However, this research is also limited at the preclinical level. Hence, efforts are required to make this technology scalable and clinically applicable. This article entails in detail various oral colon-targeted delivery systems prepared so far, as well as the limitations and benefits of polysaccharide-based oral colon-targeted delivery systems.

Gut Microbiome-Wide Search for Bacterial Azoreductases Reveals Potentially Uncharacterized Azoreductases Encoded in the Human Gut Microbiome. Drug Metab Dispos 2023; 51:142-153.

Abstract
The human gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that are responsible for the modification of many orally administered drugs, leading to a wide range of therapeutic outcomes. Prodrugs bearing an azo bond are designed to treat inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer via microbial azo reduction, allowing for topical application of therapeutic moieties to the diseased tissue in the intestines. Despite the inextricable link between microbial azo reduction and the efficacy of azo prodrugs, the prevalence, abundance, and distribution of azoreductases have not been systematically examined across the gut microbiome. Here, we curated and clustered amino acid sequences of experimentally confirmed bacterial azoreductases and conducted a hidden Markov model-driven homolog search for these enzymes across 4644 genome sequences present in the representative Unified Human Gastrointestinal Genomes collection. We identified 1958 putative azo-reducing species, corroborating previous findings that azo reduction appears to be a ubiquitous function of the gut microbiome. However, through a systematic comparison of predicted and confirmed azo-reducing strains, we hypothesize the presence of uncharacterized azoreductases in 25 prominent strains of the human gut microbiome. Finally, we confirmed the azo reduction of Acid Orange 7 by multiple strains of Fusobacterium nucleatum, Bacteroides fragilis, and Clostridium clostridioforme Together, these results suggest the presence and activity of many uncharacterized azoreductases in the human gut microbiome and motivate future studies aimed at characterizing azoreductase genes in prominent members of the human gut microbiome. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This work systematically examined the prevalence, abundance, and distribution of azoreductases across the healthy and inflammatory bowel disease human gut microbiome, revealing potentially uncharacterized azoreductase genes. It also confirmed the reduction of Acid Orange 7 by strains of Fusobacterium nucleatum, Bacteroides fragilis, and Clostridium clostridioforme.

Abstract
Despite poor absorption properties, delivery to the colon of bioactive compounds administered by the oral route has become a focus of pharmaceutical research over the last few decades. In particular, the high prevalence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease has driven interest because of the need for improved pharmacological treatments, which may provide high local drug concentrations and low systemic exposure. Colonic release has also been explored to deliver orally biologics having gut stability and permeability issues. For colon delivery, various technologies have been proposed, among which time-dependent systems rely on relatively constant small intestine transit time. Drug delivery platforms exploiting this physiological feature provide a lag time programmed to cover the entire small intestine transit and control the onset of release. Functional polymer coatings or capsule plugs are mainly used for this purpose, working through different mechanisms, such as swelling, dissolution/erosion, rupturing and/or increasing permeability, all activated by aqueous fluids. In addition, enteric coating is generally required to protect time-controlled formulations during their stay in the stomach and rule out the influence of variable gastric emptying. In this review, the rationale and main delivery technologies for oral colon delivery based on the time-dependent strategy are presented and discussed.

Abstract
The aim of this research is the development of new colonic release systems of meloxicam (MLX) a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) with pH and time-dependent vehicles for cancer or autoimmune diseases. The colon has a higher pH than the rest of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and this can be used as a modified release strategy. Eudragit® polymers are the most widely used synthetic products in the design of colonic release formulations because they might offer mucoadhesiveness and pH-dependent release. Colonic delivery systems produced with pH-dependent and permeable polymers (FS-30D) or with pH-independent and low permeability polymers (NM-30D), must dissolve at a pH range of 6.0–7.0 to delay the release of the drug and prevent degradation in the GIT, before reaching the colon. The conditions prepared to simulate a gastrointestinal transit showed the CNM multiparticulate system, composed of Eudragit® NM and cellulose, as the best release option for MLX with a more sustained release with respect to the other formulations. CNM formulation followed Higuchi and First-order release kinetics, thus MLX release was controlled by a combination of diffusion and polymers swelling/eroding processes.

Resveratrol and resveratrol nano-delivery systems in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. J Nutr Biochem 2022; 109:109101. [PMID: 35777588 DOI: 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2022.109101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2021] [Revised: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder associated with the inflammation in the digestive tract. The exact cause of IBD is unknown; nevertheless, in IBD, the homeostasis of key regulatory factors involved in intestinal immunity has been documented to be disrupted. Despite the lack of a viable treatment for IBD, synthetic drugs and monoclonal antibodies are currently used to treat it. However, these treatments have side effects, and the high relapse rate limits their usage. Dietary polyphenols constitute a great variety of compounds and have shown an array of biological properties. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol found in grapevines and berries. The therapeutic ability of resveratrol against IBD is amply demonstrated in many in vivo studies. Resveratrol can interact with several molecular targets (Nf-kB, SIRT1, mTOR, HIF-1α, miRNAs, and TNF-α) and effectively prevent/ alleviate IBD symptoms with promising results. Although resveratrol has profound anti-inflammatory properties against IBD, its therapeutic employment is limited due to its low water solubility, less chemical stability, less bioavailability, and rapid metabolism in vivo. Hence, resveratrol encapsulation using different carries and its controlled release has become a promising strategy to overcome limitations. Herein, we meticulously review, talk-over the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanisms of resveratrol in IBD. We further provide the latest information on resveratrol formulations and nano-delivery systems used in oral delivery of resveratrol for the treatment of IBD and offer our view on future research on resveratrol in IBD treatment.

[PMID: 35245681 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.02.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) usually occurs in the superficial mucosa of the colorectum. Here, a double-network hydrogel (PMSP) was constructed from maleimided γ-polyglutamic acid and thiolated γ-polyglutamic acid through crosslinking of thiol-maleimide and self-oxidized thiols. PMSP with a negative charge specifically adhered to the inflamed mucosa with positively charged proteins rather than to the healthy mucosa. PMSP exhibited good mechanical strength with storage modulus (G') of 17.6 Pa and a linear viscoelastic region (LVR) of 107.2% strain. Moreover, PMSP showed a stronger bio-adhesive force toward the inflamed tissue-mimicking substrate than toward its healthy counterpart. In vivo imaging confirmed that PMSP specifically adhered to the inflamed colonic mucosa of rats with TNBS-induced UC. KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) as a model drug was easily captured by PMSP through electrostatic interactions, thus retaining its bioactivity for a longer time under high temperature conditions. Moreover, the alleviating effect of KPV on rats with TNBS-induced colitis was significantly improved by PMSP after intracolonic administration. The epithelial barrier of the colon also effectively recovered following PMSP-KPV treatment. PMSP-KPV also modulated the gut flora, markedly augmenting the abundance of beneficial microorganisms in gut homeostasis. The mechanism by which PMSP-KPV induces a therapeutic effect may be associated with the inhibition of oxidative stress. Conclusively, the PMSP hydrogel seems to be a promising rectal delivery system for the therapy of UC. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and relapsing disease of the gastrointestinal tract. A key therapeutic approach to treat UC is to repair the mucosal barriers. Here, a double-network hydrogel (PMSP) was constructed from maleimided and thiolated γ-polyglutamic acid through crosslinking of thiol-maleimide and self-oxidized thiols. The negatively charged PMSP specifically adhered to the inflamed colon rather than its healthy counterpart and was retained for a longer time. KPV as a model drug was easily captured by PMSP, which provided better stability to KPV when exposed to high temperature of 50 °C. The epithelial mucosal barrier of the colon was effectively recovered by the rectal administration of PMSP-KPV to rats with TNBS-induced UC. Moreover, PMSP-KPV modulated the gut flora of colitic rats, markedly augmenting the abundance of beneficial microorganisms. Conclusively, PMSP seems to be a promising rectal delivery system for UC therapy.

Abstract
Natural bioactive compounds (BCs) are types of chemicals found in plants and certain foods that promote good health, however they are sensitive to processing and environmental conditions. Microencapsulation by spray drying is a widely used and cost-effective approach to create a coating layer to surround and protect BCs and control their release, enabling the production of high functional products/ingredients with extended shelf life. In this process, wall materials determine protection efficiency, and physical properties, bioavailability, and storage stability of microencapsulated products. Therefore, an understanding of physicochemical properties of wall materials is essential for the successful and effective spray-dried microencapsulation process. Typically, polysaccharide-based wall materials are generated from more sustainable sources and have a wider range of physicochemical properties and applications compared to their protein-based counterparts. In this review, we highlight the essential physicochemical properties of polysaccharide-based wall materials for spray-dried microencapsulation of BCs including solubility, thermal stability, and emulsifying properties, rheological and film forming properties. We provide further insight into possibilities for the chemical structure modification of native wall materials and their controlled release behaviors. Finally, we summarize the most recent studies involving polysaccharide biopolymers as wall materials and/or emulsifiers in spray-dried microencapsulation of BCs.

Abstract
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val), which is a tripeptide derived from α-MSH (α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone), has an anti-inflammatory effect on colitis. However, KPV solution is very unstable when rectally administered, compromising its therapeutic efficacy. Herein, cysteamine-grafted γ-polyglutamic acid (SH-PGA) was synthesized by conjugating cysteamine with the carboxyl groups of γ-PGA. The synthesized SH-PGA has the thiol grafting amount of 4.5 ± 0.3 mmol/g. Without the use of the cross-linker, the SH-PGA hydrogel with 4% of the polymer was formed by self-cross-linking of thiol groups. Moreover, the formation of the SH-PGA hydrogel was not affected by KPV. The KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel presented higher elastic modulus (G') than the corresponding viscous modulus (G″) at 0.01-10 Hz, exhibiting good mechanical stability. The KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel presented a shear-thinning behavior, which was helpful for rectal administration. Only 30% of KPV was released from the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel within 20 min, followed by a sustained-release behavior. Importantly, the stability of KPV in the SH-PGA hydrogel was obviously enhanced, which was presented by detecting its anti-inflammatory activity and promoting cell migration potential after 2 h of exposure to 37 °C. The enhanced therapeutic effect of the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel on colitis was confirmed on 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced ulcerative colitis rats. The colitis symptoms including body weight loss and the disease activity index score were obviously attenuated by rectally administering the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel. Besides, the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel treatment prevented the colon shortening of TNBS-infused rats and decreased the colonic myeloperoxidase level. The morphology of the colon including the epithelial barrier, crypt, and intact goblet cells was recovered after KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel treatment. Besides, the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel decreased the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6. Collectively, the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel may provide a promising strategy for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
As naturally occurring bioactive products, several lines of evidence have shown the potential of polyphenols in the medical intervention of various diseases, including tumors, inflammatory diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Notably, owing to the particular molecular structure, polyphenols can combine with proteins, metal ions, polymers, and nucleic acids providing better strategies for polyphenol-delivery strategies. This contributes to the inherent advantages of polyphenols as important functional components for other drug delivery strategies, e.g., protecting nanodrugs from oxidation as a protective layer, improving the physicochemical properties of carbohydrate polymer carriers, or being used to synthesize innovative functional delivery vehicles. Polyphenols have emerged as a multifaceted player in novel drug delivery systems, both as therapeutic agents delivered to intervene in disease progression and as essential components of drug carriers. Although an increasing number of studies have focused on polyphenol-based nanodrug delivery including epigallocatechin-3-gallate, curcumin, resveratrol, tannic acid, and polyphenol-related innovative preparations, these molecules are not without inherent shortcomings. The active biochemical characteristics of polyphenols constitute a prerequisite to their high-frequency use in drug delivery systems and likewise to provoke new challenges for the design and development of novel polyphenol drug delivery systems of improved efficacies. In this review, we focus on both the targeted delivery of polyphenols and the application of polyphenols as components of drug delivery carriers, and comprehensively elaborate on the application of polyphenols in new types of drug delivery systems. According to the different roles played by polyphenols in innovative drug delivery strategies, potential limitations and risks are discussed in detail including the influences on the physical and chemical properties of nanodrug delivery systems, and their influence on normal physiological functions inside the organism.

Das S. Pectin based multi-particulate carriers for colon-specific delivery of therapeutic agents. Int J Pharm 2021; 605:120814. [PMID: 34147609 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2021.120814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 06/14/2021] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
In case of colon-specific delivery of therapeutic agents through oral route, microbial/enzyme-triggered release approach has several advantages over other approaches due to unique microbial ecosystem in the colon. Multiple-unit carriers have an edge over single-unit carriers for this purpose. Among different materials/polymers explored, pectin appears as a promising biopolymer to construct microbial-triggered colon-specific carriers. Pectin is specifically degraded by colonic enzymes but insusceptible to upper gastro-intestinal enzymes. In this article, utilization of pectin solely or in combination with other polymers and/or colonic-delivery approaches is critically discussed in detail in the context of multi-particulate systems. Several studies showed that pectin-based carriers can prevent the release of payload in the stomach but start to release in the intestine. Hence, pectin alone may construct delayed release formulation but may not be sufficient for effective colon-targeting. On the other hand, combination of pectin with other materials/polymers (e.g., chitosan and Eudragit® S-100) has demonstrated huge promise for colon-specific release of payload. Hence, smartly designed pectin-based multi-particulate carriers, especially in combination with other polymers and/or colon-targeting approaches (e.g., microbial-triggered + pH-triggered or microbial-triggered + pH-triggered + time-release or microbial-triggered + pH-triggered + pressure-based), can be successful colon-specific delivery systems. However, more clinical trials are necessary to bring this idea from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Targeting celecoxib to the ileo-colonic region could be beneficial for the treatment and prevention of colon cancer. Ileo-colonic targeting can be achieved by using pH-dependent coating systems such as ColoPulse. Celecoxib has poor aqueous solubility, which may jeopardize optimal treatment. Therefore, we combined a pH-dependent coating with self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) or with solid dispersion systems (SD); two approaches that are often used to improve the dissolution behavior of lipophilic drugs. The dissolution behavior of various formulations of both systems was investigated. Optimized formulations with and without precipitation inhibitors were coated with the ColoPulse and the release of celecoxib was tested under non-sink conditions using an in vitro dissolution system, simulating the pH gradient of the gastrointestinal tract. The dissolution behavior of SDs with and without precipitation inhibitor (sodium dodecyl sulfate) and the SEDDS without precipitation inhibitor was negatively impacted by the coating. Control experiments indicated that components of the coating released in the dissolution medium acted as precipitation mediators. However, the SEDDS formulation with HPMC 4000 cps as a precipitation inhibitor showed excellent dissolution behavior. We hypothesize that HPMC accumulates at the oil/water interface of the emulsion thereby stabilizing the emulsion resulting in maintenance of the supersaturated state.

Abstract
The initiation and development of major inflammatory diseases, i.e., cancer, vascular inflammation, and some autoimmune diseases are closely linked to the immune system. Biologics-based immunotherapy is exerting a critical role against these diseases, whereas the usage of the immunomodulators is always limited by various factors such as susceptibility to digestion by enzymes in vivo, poor penetration across biological barriers, and rapid clearance by the reticuloendothelial system. Drug delivery strategies are potent to promote their delivery. Herein, we reviewed the potential targets for immunotherapy against the major inflammatory diseases, discussed the biologics and drug delivery systems involved in the immunotherapy, particularly highlighted the approved therapy tactics, and finally offer perspectives in this field.

Abstract
Inflammation that is not resolved in due course becomes a chronic disease. The treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases involves a long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs such as corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, often accompanied by dose-dependent side effects. Local drug delivery systems have been widely explored to reduce their off-target side effects and the medication frequency, with several products making to the market or in development over the years. However, numerous challenges remain, and drug delivery technology is underutilized in some applications. This review showcases local drug delivery systems in different inflammatory diseases, including the targets well-known to drug delivery scientists (e.g., joints, eyes, and teeth) and other applications with untapped opportunities (e.g., sinus, bladder, and colon). In each section, we start with a brief description of the disease and commonly used therapy, introduce local drug delivery systems currently on the market or in the development stage, focusing on polymeric systems, and discuss the remaining challenges and opportunities in future product development.

Abstract
Interpolymer complexes (IPC) based on Eudragit® EPO and Eudragit® S100 were investigated as potential carriers for oral controlled drug delivery to the colon. IPC samples were prepared by mixing copolymer solutions in organic solvents (ethanol, isopropanol:acetone mixture (60:40, % v/v) and tetrahydrofuran). According to the data of elemental analysis, FTIR-spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thermal analysis these IPCs have excess of anionic copolymer (Eudragit® S100) in their structure; they are stabilized by hydrogen and ionic intermacromolecular bonds and do not include free copolymer domains. IPC have pH-independent swelling properties in the media mimicking gastrointestinal tract (GIT) conditions and provide colon-specific delivery of indomethacin in buffer solutions (pH 1.2; 5.8; 6.8; 7.4) and in biorelevant media (fasted state simulated gastric fluid, fasted state simulated intestinal fluid—version 2 and fasted stated simulated colonic fluid).

Abstract
The proximal part of the colon offers opportunities to prolong the absorption window following oral administration of a drug. In this work, we used computer simulations to understand how the hydrodynamics in the proximal colon might affect the release from dosage forms designed to target the colon. For this purpose, we developed and compared three different models: a completely-filled colon, a partially-filled colon and a partially-filled colon with a gaseous phase present (gas-liquid model). The highest velocities of the liquid were found in the completely-filled model, which also shows the best mixing profile, defined by the distribution of tracking particles over time. No significant differences with regard to the mixing and velocity profiles were found between the partially-filled model and the gas-liquid model. The fastest transit time of an undissolved tablet was found in the completely-filled model. The velocities of the liquid in the gas-liquid model are slightly higher along the colon than in the partially-filled model. The filling level has an impact on the exsisting shear forces and shear rates, which are decisive factors in the development of new drugs and formulations.

Abstract
The use of chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of malignant tumors is always associated with the severe side effects negatively affecting all organs and systems in human body. One of the approaches for reduction of the toxic influence and enhancement of the antitumor drug administration efficiency is supposed to be the use of the biopolymer delivery systems. Pectins are considered the most promising components for colon targeted drug dosage forms as they are stable in the changing gastrointestinal media and easily degraded by pectinases produced by colonic microflora. A various range of the pectin-containing delivery systems were developed contributing higher concentration of the active drug molecules in particular site inside intestine and their lower blood level resulting in lowered risk of the severe side effects. This review discusses the various forms of the pectin-based materials such as hydrogels, tablets and pellets, films, microspheres, microsponges, nanoparticles, etc. as drug delivery device and attempted to report the vast literature available on pectin biopolymers in drug delivery applications.

Abstract
The importance of fruit-derived resveratrol (RES) in the treatment of various diseases has been discussed in various research publications. Those research findings have indicated the ability of the molecule as therapeutic in the context of in vitro and in vivo conditions. Mostly, the application of RES in in vivo conditions, encapsulation processes have been carried out using various nanoparticles that are made of biocompatible biomaterials, which are easily digested or metabolized, and RES is absorbed effectively. These biomaterials are non-toxic and are safe to be used as components in the biotherapeutics. They are made from naturally available by-products of food materials like zein or corn or components of the physiological system as with lipids. The versatility of the RES nanoparticles in their different materials, working range sizes, specificity in their targeting in various human diseases, and the mechanisms associated with them are discussed in this review.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop a new colon-targeted drug delivery system via the preparation of ternary nanocomposite carriers based on organic polymer, aminoclay and lipid vesicles. Budesonide (Bud), an anti-inflammatory drug was chosen as a model drug and encapsulated into three different formulations: liposome (Bud-Lip), aminoclay-coated liposome (AC-Bud-Lip), and Eudragit® S100-aminoclay double coated liposome (EAC-Bud-Lip). The formation of the aminoclay-lipid vesicle nanocomposite was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectrum, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. All formulations were produced with a high encapsulation efficiency in a narrow size distribution. Drug release from EAC-Bud-Lip was approximately 10% for 2-h incubation at pH 1.2, implying the minimal drug release in acidic gastric condition. At pH 7.4, EAC-Bud-Lip underwent significant size reduction and exhibited drug release profiles similar to that from AC-Bud-Lip, implying the pH-dependent removal of the outer coating layer. Compared to free Bud solution, EAC-Bud-Lip achieved a higher drug uptake in Caco-2 cells and exhibited a stronger inhibition of TNF-α and IL-6 secretion in LPS-stimulated Raw264.7 cells. Furthermore, a bio-distribution study in mice demonstrated that Eudragit® S100-aminoclay dual coating led to a higher colonic distribution with a longer residence time, which correlated well with the delayed systemic drug exposure in rats. Taken together, the present study suggests that the ternary nanocomposite carrier consisting of Eudragit® S100, aminoclay, and lipid vesicle might be useful as an effective colon-targeted drug delivery system.

Abstract
The pharmacological therapy for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, such as inflammatory bowel diseases, continues to present challenges in targeting efficacy. The need for maximal local drug exposure at the inflamed regions of the GI tract has led research to focus on a disease-targeted drug delivery approach. Smart nanomaterials responsive to the reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentrated in the inflamed areas, can be formulated into nanoplatforms to selectively release the active compounds, avoiding unspecific drug delivery to healthy tissues and limiting systemic absorption. Recent developments of ROS-responsive nanoplatforms include combination with other materials to obtain multi-responsive systems and modifications/derivatization to increase the interactions with biological tissues, cell uptake and targeting. This review describes the applications of ROS-responsive nanosystems for on-demand drug delivery to the GI tract.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by superficial mucosal inflammation, rectal bleeding, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs have been used in the therapy of human UC. Interleukin (IL)-35, which functions as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, has been shown to play a potential therapeutic role in a UC-like mouse colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). However, the contribution of IL-35 via oral administration to colitis prevention has not been determined. In order to explore its preventative potentiality, a dairy Lactococcus lactis NZ9000 strain was engineered to express murine IL-35 (NZ9000/IL-35), and this recombinant bacteria was applied to prevent and limit the development of DSS-induced mouse colitis. We found that oral administration of NZ9000/IL-35 induced the accumulation of IL-35 in the gut lumen of normal mice. When administrated preventatively, NZ9000/IL-35-gavaged mice exhibited decreased weight loss, DAI score, colon shortening as well as colitis-associated histopathological changes in colon, indicating that the oral administration of NZ9000/35 contributed to the suppression of DSS-induced colitis progression. Moreover, much less Th17 cells and higher level of Treg cells in lamina propria, as well as increased colon and serum levels of IL-10 with a concomitant reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-6, IL-17A, IFN-γ, and TNF-α were apparently regulated by NZ9000/IL-35 in colitis mice. Together, we put forward direct evidence pinpointing the effectiveness of NZ9000/IL-35 in preventing UC-like mouse colitis, implying a potential candidate of this recombinant Lactococcus lactis that prevent the progression of IBD.

Abstract
Time-sensitive and pH-dependent polymers are generally employed to prepare colon-site delivery system, and their coating thickness and order are very important in controlling the drug release. The traditional colon-site delivery systems consist of time-dependent polymers as inner layer and pH-sensitive polymers as outer layer. However, they suffer from low drug-loading rate and immature drug release. In this study, total alkaloids of sophora alopecuroides(TASA)-loaded pellets were prepared by extrusion-spheronization method and coated with Eudragit RS30D and Eudragit S100. Pellets using Eudragit RS30D as inner layer and Eudragit S100 as outer layer were named as ERS-ES100 TCO, while pellets with Eudragit S100 as inner layer and Eudragit RS30D as outer layer were ES100-ERS NCO. Both types of formulations with varying coating ratios and orders of Eudragit S100 and Eudragit RS30D were designed and prepared. The following in vitro drug release and SEM studies indicated that ERS-ES100 TCO(F2) with 12.8% Eudragit RS30D as inner layer and 21% Eudragit S100 as outer layer released up to 42% drug in 5 h. Interestingly, ES100-ERS NCO (F4) coated with 12.8% Eudragit S100 and 14.8% Eudragit RS30D showed optimal drug release in colon. In conclusion, ES100-ERS NCO colonic delivery system achieved reduced coating thickness and improved colonic targeting compared with traditional delivery system (ERS-ES100 TCO). In addition, the similarity factors (f2 ) value of sophoridine and matrine for investigated formulation were within 50-100 and > 80, demonstrating that sophoridine and matrine in all formulations achieved a synchronous release.

[PMID: 29966684 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2018.06.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 107] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2018] [Revised: 05/27/2018] [Accepted: 06/25/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Oral colon-specific delivery systems emerged as the main therapeutic cargos by making a significant impact in the field of modern medicine for local drug delivery in intestinal inflammation. The site-specific delivery of therapeutics (aminosalicylates, glucocorticoids, biologics) to the ulcerative mucus tissue can provide prominent advantages in mucosal healing (MH). Attaining gut mucosal healing and anti-fibrosis are main treatment outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The pharmaceutical strategies that are commonly used to achieve a colon-specific drug delivery system include time, pH-dependent polymer coating, prodrug, colonic microbiota-activated delivery systems and a combination of these approaches. Amongst the different approaches reported, the use of biodegradable polysaccharide coated systems holds great promise in delivering drugs to the ulcerative regions. The present review focuses on major physiological gastro-intestinal tract challenges involved in altering the pharmacokinetics of delivery systems, pathophysiology of MH and fibrosis, reported drug-polysaccharide cargos and focusing on conventional to advanced disease responsive delivery strategies, highlighting their limitations and future perspectives in intestinal inflammation therapy.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract with poor understanding of its pathogenesis and no effective cure. The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of orally administered non-degradable polymeric chloroquine (pCQ) to locally reduce colon inflammation. The pCQ was synthesized by radical copolymerization of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide with methacryloylated hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). The anti-inflammatory activity of orally administered pCQ versus HCQ was tested in a mouse model of colitis induced by Citrobacter rodentium (C. rodentium). Single-dose pharmacokinetic and biodistribution studies performed in the colitis model indicated negligible systemic absorption (p ≤ 0.001) and localization of pCQ in the gastrointestinal tract. A multi-dose therapeutic study demonstrated that the localized pCQ treatment resulted in significant reduction in the colon inflammation (p ≤ 0.05). Enhanced suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 (p ≤ 0.01) and IL1-β and opposing upregulation of IL-2 (p ≤ 0.05) recently reported to be involved in downstream anti-inflammatory events suggested that the anti-inflammatory effects of the pCQ are mediated by altering mucosal immune homeostasis. Overall, the reported findings demonstrate a potential of pCQ as a novel polymer therapeutic option in inflammatory bowel disease with the potential of local effects and minimized systemic toxicity.

Abstract
Porous materials with molecular-scale ordering have attracted major attention mainly because of the possibility to engineer their pores for selective applications. Periodic mesoporous organosilica is a class of hybrid materials where self-assembly of the organic linkers provides a crystal-like pore wall. However, unlike metal coordination, specific geometries cannot be predicted because of the competitive and dynamic nature of noncovalent interactions. Herein, we study the influence of competing noncovalent interactions in the pore walls on the biodegradation of organosilica frameworks for drug delivery application. These results support the importance of studying self-assembly patterns in hybrid frameworks to better engineer the next generation of dynamic or "soft" porous materials.

Abstract
In this study, we developed pH-triggered surface charge-reversal lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), loaded with budesonide, which could precisely deliver the drug to inflamed colon segments for the treatment of ulcerative colitis. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) was used to render LNPs cationic (PEI-LNPs), and Eudragit® S100 (ES) was coated on PEI-LNPs to obtain pH-triggered charge-reversal LNPs (ES-PEI-LNPs). ES coating avoided a burst drug release under acidic conditions mimicking the stomach and early small intestine environments and showed a sustained release in the colon. The surface charge of ES-PEI-LNPs switched from negative to positive under colonic conditions owing to pH-triggered removal of the ES coating. Bioimaging of the mouse gastrointestinal tract and confocal analysis of colon tissues revealed that ES-PEI-LNPs selectively accumulated in an inflamed colon. Furthermore, ES-PEI-LNPs mitigated experimental colitis in mice. These results suggest that the pH-triggered charge-reversal LNPs could be a promising drug carrier for ulcerative colitis therapy and other colon-targeted treatments.

Abstract
Abstract
Water soluble galactomannans from seed endosperm of Mimosa pudica L. was extracted and characterized (Fig. 1). Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography results revealed the presence of 4-linked mannose backbone with galactose side chains linked at the C6 position. Scanning Electron Micrographs showed smooth, elongated and irregular granular structure of galactomannan. Structural analysis by Attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy presented the Mannose to Galactose ratio while the X-ray diffraction studies showed the presences of A-type crystalline pattern of the galactomannan. Thermo Gravitimetric Analysis showed the three steps weight loss event and determined the thermal stability. The results showed that the extracted polysaccharides are typically amorphous, thermally stable and have desirable properties for industrial applications.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the efficient targeting and delivery of indometacin (IND), as a model anti-inflammatory drug to the colon for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. We prepared fast disintegrating tablets (FDT) containing IND encapsulated within poly(glycerol-adipate-co-ɷ-pentadecalactone), PGA-co-PDL, microparticles and coated with Eudragit L100-55 at different ratios (1:1.5, 1:1, 1:0.5). Microparticles encapsulated with IND were prepared using an o/w single emulsion solvent evaporation technique and coated with Eudragit L-100-55 via spray drying. The produced coated microparticles (PGA-co-PDL-IND/Eudragit) were formulated into optimised FTD using a single station press. The loading, in vitro release, permeability and transport of IND from PGA-co-PDL-IND/Eudragit microparticles was studied in Caco-2 cell lines. IND was efficiently encapsulated (570.15±4.2μg/mg) within the PGA-co-PDL microparticles. In vitro release of PGA-co-PDL-IND/Eudragit microparticles (1:1.5) showed significantly (p<0.05, ANOVA/Tukey) lower release of IND 13.70±1.6 and 56.46±3.8% compared with 1:1 (89.61±2.5, 80.13±2.6%) and 1:0.5 (39.46±0.9 & 43.38±3.12) after 3 and 43h at pH 5.5 and 6.8, respectively. The permeability and transport studies indicated IND released from PGA-co-PDL-IND/Eudragit microparticles had a lower permeability coefficient of 13.95±0.68×10-6cm/s compared to free IND 23.06±3.56×10-6cm/s. These results indicate the possibility of targeting anti-inflammatory drugs to the colon using FDTs containing microparticles coated with Eudragit.

Abstract
The oral route is an attractive delivery route for the administration of DNA-based therapeutics, specifically for applications in gene therapy and DNA vaccination. However, oral DNA delivery is complicated by the harsh and variable conditions encountered throughout gastrointestinal (GI) transit, leading to degradation of the delivery vector and DNA cargo, and subsequent inefficient delivery to target cells. In this work, we demonstrate the development and optimization of a hybrid-dual particulate delivery system consisting of two natural biomaterials, zein (ZN) and chitosan (CS), to mediate oral DNA delivery. Chitosan-Zein Nano-in-Microparticles (CS-ZN-NIMs), consisting of core Chitosan/DNA nanoparticles (CS/DNA NPs) prepared by ionic gelation with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP), further encapsulated in ZN microparticles, were formulated using a water-in-oil emulsion (W/O). The resulting particles exhibited high CS/DNA NP loading and encapsulation within ZN microparticles. DNA release profiles in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) were improved compared to un-encapsulated CS/DNA NPs. Further, site-specific degradation of the outer ZN matrix and release of transfection competent CS/DNA NPs occurred in simulated intestinal conditions with CS/DNA NP cores successfully mediating transfection in vitro. Finally, CS-ZN-NIMs encoding GFP delivered by oral gavage in vivo induced the production of anti-GFP IgA antibodies, demonstrating in vivo transfection and expression. Together, these results demonstrate the successful formulation of CS-ZN-NIMs and their potential to improve oral gene delivery through improved protection and controlled release of DNA cargo.

Abstract
Glycoproteins have multidimensional properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, antimicrobial and adsorption properties; therefore, they have wide range of applications. They are blended with different polymers such as chitosan, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), polycaprolactone (PCL), heparin, polystyrene fluorescent nanoparticles (PS-NPs) and carboxyl pullulan (PC) to improve their properties like thermal stability, mechanical properties, resistance to pH, chemical stability and toughness. Considering the versatile charateristics of glycoprotein based polymers, this review sheds light on synthesis and characterization of blends and composites of glycoproteins, with natural and synthetic polymers and their potential applications in biomedical field such as drug delivery system, insulin delivery, antimicrobial wound dressing uses, targeting of cancer cells, development of anticancer vaccines, development of new biopolymers, glycoproteome research, food product and detection of dengue glycoproteins. All the technical scientific issues have been addressed; highlighting the recent advancement.
