Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current work aimed to formulate a novel chitosan-based finasteride nanosystem (FNS-NS) for skin delivery to optimize the drug availability in skin for a longer time and enhance ex vivo performance of finasteride against androgenic alopecia. METHODS Both undecorated and chitosan decorated FNS-NSs were synthesized by a high energy emulsification technique. All the prepared nanosystems were further subjected to physicochemical characterizations like pH, viscosity, encapsulation efficiency, surface morphology and in vitro drug release behavior. The influence of the nanosystem on the drug permeation and retention in rat skin was examined using Franz diffusion cell apparatus. RESULTS The droplet size of developed nanosystems ranged from 41 to 864 nm with a low polydispersity index. The zeta potential of the nanosystems was between -10 mV and +56 mV. This chitosan decorated nanosystem exhibited controlled drug release, ie about 78-97% in 24 h. Among all the nanosystems, our chitosan decorated formulation (F5) had low drug permeation (16.35 µg/cm2) and higher drug retention (10.81 µg/cm2). CONCLUSION The abovementioned results demonstrate satisfactory in vitro drug release, skin retention profiles and ex vivo performance with chitosan decorated FNS-NS (F5). This optimized formulation could increase drug availability in skin and could become a promising carrier for topical delivery to treat androgenic alopecia.

Stabilization of water-in-oil emulsion of Pulicaria jaubertii extract by ultrasonication: Fabrication, characterization, and storage stability. Food Chem 2021; 350:129249. [PMID: 33610840 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.129249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 01/24/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of ultrasonic treatments on the properties and stability of the water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion of Pulicaria jaubertii (PJ) extract. The study used different ultrasound powers (0, 100, 200, 400, and 600 W) at two storage degrees (4 and 25 °C) for 28 days. The findings showed that the emulsifying properties were improved to different extents after ultrasonic treatments. The treatment at 600 W showed optimum particle size, polydispersity index, emulsifying property, viscosity properties, and release of total phenolic content than the other powers. However, the ultrasonic power of 400 W gave positive effects on creaming index and antioxidant release compared to 600 W. The emulsion stored at 4 °C presented higher stability than that stored at 25 °C during the 28 days of storage. Microscopically, the increase in sonication power up to 600 W reduced particle size and decreased flocculation, thus resulted in stable emulsions, which is desirable for its applications in food systems.

Abstract
In this study, a comparative efficacy of Cananga odorata EO (CoEO) and its nanoencapsulated formulation into chitosan nanoemulsion (CoEO-CsNe) against a toxigenic strain of Aspergillus flavus (AF-M-K5) were investigated for the first time in order to determine its efficacy in preservation of stored food from fungal, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination and lipid peroxidation. GC and GC-MS analysis of CoEO revealed the presence of linalool (24.56%) and benzyl acetate (22.43%) as the major components. CoEO was encapsulated into chitosan nanoemulsion (CsNe) through ionic-gelation technique and characterized by High Resolution-Scanning Electron Microscopy (HR-SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The CoEO-CsNe during in vitro investigation against A. flavus completely inhibited the growth and AFB1 production at 1.0 μL/mL and 0.75 μL/mL, respectively. Additionally, CoEO-CsNe showed improved antioxidant activity against DPPH• and ABTS•+ with IC50 value 0.93 and 0.72 μL/mL, respectively. Further, CoEO-CsNe suppressed fungal growth, AFB1 secretion and lipid peroxidation in Arachis hypogea L. during in situ investigation without causing any adverse effect on seed germination. Overall results demonstrated that the CoEO-CsNe has potential of being utilized as a suitable plant based antifungal agent to improve the shelf-life of stored food against AFB1 and lipid peroxidation mediated biodeterioration.

Abstract
In this research, different contents of eugenol in the 2.5-25 wt.% range were first incorporated into ultrathin fibers of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) by electrospinning and then subjected to annealing to obtain antimicrobial monolayers. The most optimal concentration of eugenol in the PHBV monolayer was 15 wt.% since it showed high electrospinnability and thermal stability and also yielded the highest bacterial reduction against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). This eugenol-containing monolayer was then selected to be applied as an interlayer between a structural layer made of a cast-extruded poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) sheet and a commercial PHBV film as the food contact layer. The whole system was, thereafter, annealed at 160°C for 10 s to develop a novel multilayer active packaging material. The resultant multilayer showed high hydrophobicity, strong adhesion and mechanical resistance, and improved barrier properties against water vapor and limonene vapors. The antimicrobial activity of the multilayer structure was also evaluated in both open and closed systems for up to 15 days, showing significant reductions (R ≥ 1 and < 3) for the two strains of food-borne bacteria. Higher inhibition values were particularly attained against S. aureus due to the higher activity of eugenol against the cell membrane of Gram positive (G+) bacteria. The multilayer also provided the highest antimicrobial activity for the closed system, which better resembles the actual packaging and it was related to the headspace accumulation of the volatile compounds. Hence, the here-developed multilayer fully based on polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) shows a great deal of potential for antimicrobial packaging applications using biodegradable materials to increase both quality and safety of food products.

Abstract
Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) peel (GP) is rich in flavonoids and phenolics which have several proven pharmacological effects. However, their chemical instability towards oxygen, light and heat limits its applications in food industries. In the present study, we evaluated the feasibility of fabricating grapefruit-peel-phenolic (GPP) nano-emulsion in mustard oil using ultrasonication. Response surface methodology (RSM) optimization revealed that sonication time of 9.5 min at 30% amplitude and 0.52% Span-80 produced the stable GPP nano-emulsion with a droplet size of 29.73 ± 1.62 nm. Results indicate that both ultrasonication and Span-80 can assist the fabrication of a stabilized nano-emulsion. This study is one of its kind where nano-encapsulation of GPP into W/O emulsion was done to stabilize the active compound inside mustard oil and then the nano-emulsion was used to extend oxidative stability of mustard oil. Findings provide a basic guideline to formulate stable nano-emulsions for their use in active food packaging, oils, and pharmaceuticals.

Chitosan nanoemulsions of cold-pressed orange essential oil to preserve fruit juices. Int J Food Microbiol 2020; 331:108786.

Abstract
Sweet orange essential oil is obtained from the peels of Citrus sinensis (CSEO) by cold pressing, and used as a valuable product by the food industry. Nanoencapsulation is known as a valid strategy to improve chemical stability, organoleptic properties, and delivery of EO-based products. In the present study we encapsulated CSEO using chitosan nanoemulsions (cn) as nanocarrier, and evaluated its antimicrobial activity in combination with mild heat, as well as its sensorial acceptability in orange and apple juices. CSEO composition was analyzed by GC-MS, and 19 components were identified, with limonene as the predominant constituent (95.1%). cn-CSEO was prepared under low shear conditions and characterized according to droplet size (<60 nm) and polydispersity index (<0.260 nm). Nanoemulsions were stable for at least 3 months at 4 ± 2 °C. cn-CSEO were compared with suspensions of CSEO (s-CSEO) (0.2 μL of CSEO/mL) in terms of antibacterial activity in combination with mild heat (52 °C) against Escherichia coli O157:H7 Sakai. cn-CSEO displayed a greater bactericidal activity than s-CSEO at pH 7.0 and pH 4.0. The validation in fruit juices showed an improved bactericidal effect of cn-CSEO in comparison with s-CSEO when combined with mild heat in apple juice, but not in orange juice. In both juices, the combination of CSEO and mild heat exerted synergistic lethal effects, reducing the treatment time to cause the inactivation of up to 5 Log10 cycles of E. coli O157:H7 Sakai cells. Finally, the sensory characteristics of both juices were acceptable either when using s-CSEO or CSEO nanoemulsified with chitosan. Therefore, as a promising carrier for lipophilic substances, the encapsulation of EOs with chitosan nanoemulsions might represent an advantageous alternative when combined with mild heat to preserve fruit juices.

Abstract
Matricaria chamomilla L. has been used for centuries in many applications, including antiparasitic activity. Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease, with limited treatments, due to high cost and toxicity. Thus, there is a need to develop new treatments, and in this context, natural products are targets of these researches. We report the development of chitosan nanocapsules containing essential oil of M. chamomilla (CEO) from oil-in-water emulsions using chitosan modified with tetradecyl chains as biocompatible shell material. The nanocapsules of CEO (NCEO) were analyzed by optical microscopy and dynamic light scattering, which revealed spherical shape and an average size of 800 nm. Successful encapsulation of CEO was further confirmed by fluorescence microscopy observations taking advantage of the autofluorescence properties of CEO. The encapsulation efficiency was around 90%. The entrapment of CEO reduced its cytotoxicity towards normal cells. On the other hand, the CEO was active against promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes, exhibiting IC50 of 3.33 μg/mL and 14.56 μg/mL, respectively, while NCEO showed IC50 for promastigotes of 7.18 μg/mL and for intracellular amastigotes of 14.29 μg/mL. These results demonstrate that encapsulation of CEO in nanocapsules using an alkylated chitosan biosurfactant as a "green" stabilizer is a promising therapeutic strategy to treat leishmaniasis.

Abstract
Chilled pork is widely consumed in China. However, various contaminants during storage directly lead to a decline in the quality of chilled pork products. An extract of natural plant sources, eugenol (Eug) exerts good antibacterial and antioxidant effects. Nanometerization was used in this study to improve the insoluble and volatile characteristics of Eug. Eug nanocapsules embedded with gelatin/chitosan (Eug-Gel-CS NPs) were used to preserve chilled pork. Results indicated that Eug-Gel-CS NPs could effectively inhibit increases in the pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) of chilled pork than that of the Eug group (p < 0.05). The L* and a* values of the Eug-Gel-CS NPs group were significantly higher than those of the Eug and gelatin-chitosan (CS-Gel) groups (p < 0.05). The total number of colonies (TBC) showed that the storage period of the Eug-Gel-CS NPs group could be extended to 15 d, which was significantly different from that of the CK group (8 d) (p < 0.05). The Eug-Gel-CS NPs also effectively delayed the decline in the water- holding capacity (WHC), springiness, and cohesiveness of the chilled pork. Therefore, Eug-Gel-CS NPs exert good antiseptic, antibacterial, and antioxidative effects on preserved chilled pork.

Abstract
There is a neoteric and rising demand for nutritional and functional foods which behooves food processors to adopt processing techniques with optimal conservation of bioactive components in foods and with minimal pernicious impacts on the environment. Ultrasonication, a mechanochemical technique has proven to be an efficacious panacea to these concerns. In this review, an analytic exploration of recent researches and designs regarding ultrasound methodology and equipment on diverse food systems, technological scales, procedural parameters and outcomes of such experimentations optimally scrutinized. The relative effects of ultrasonication on food formulations, components and attributes such as nanoemulsions, nanocapsules, proteins, micronutrients, sensory and mechanical characteristics are evaluatively delineated. In food systems where ultrasonication was employed, it was found to have a remarkable effect on one or more quality parameters. This review is a supplementation to the pedagogical awareness to scholars on the suitability of ultrasonication for research procedures, and a call to industrial food brands on the adoption of this technique for the development of foods with optimally sustained nutrient profiles.

Int J Nanomedicine 2020; 15:2027-2044. [PMID: 32273700 PMCID: PMC7104221 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s241134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2019] [Accepted: 03/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE As one of the classic anti-Canidia albicans (CA) and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) drugs, nystatin (NYS) is limited by poor water solubility and easy aggregation. Traditional NYS vaginal delivery formulations do not fully adapt to the specific environment of the vaginal cavity. The use of exopolysaccharides (EPS) has great application potential in emulsifiers, but its use has not been reported in nanoemulsions. In this work, an EPS/NYS nanoemulsion (ENNE) was developed to improve the activities of NYS against CA and VVC. METHODS The ENNE was prepared by ultrasonic method using EPS as an emulsifier, liquid paraffin oil as an oil phase, PEG400 as a co-emulsifier, and NYS as the loaded drug. ENNE preparation was optimized by response surface method. After optimization, in vitro and in vivo analysis of the anti-CA activity; animal experiments; staining with propidium iodide (PI), periodic acid-schiff (PAS), and hematoxylin-eosin (H&E); and cytokine experiments were performed to investigate the therapeutic ability against VVC. RESULTS The optimal formulation and preparation parameters of ENNE were determined as follows: EPS content of 1.5%, PEG400 content of 3.2%, NYS content of 700 μg/mL, paraffin oil content of 5.0%, ultrasonic time of 15 min, and ultrasonic amplitude of 35%. The ENNE showed an encapsulated structure with an average particle size of 131.1 ± 4.32 nm. ENNE exhibited high storage and pH stability, as well as slow release. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ENNE against CA was only 0.125 μg/mL and the inhibition zone was 19.0 ± 0.5 mm, for greatly improved anti-CA effect. The prepared ENNE destroyed the membrane of CA cells, and exhibited good anti-CA effect in vivo and therapeutic ability against VVC. CONCLUSION The results of this study will promote the application of EPS in nanotechnology, which should lead to new and effective local drug formulations for treating VVC.

Carvacrol encapsulation into nanostructures: Characterization and antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens adhered to stainless steel. Food Res Int 2020; 133:109143. [PMID: 32466924 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2020.109143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2019] [Revised: 03/01/2020] [Accepted: 03/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Carvacrol is a natural antimicrobial capable of inhibiting several microorganisms. The encapsulation of this compound may increase its stability, water solubility and provide controlled release. In this study, carvacrol encapsulated into nanoliposomes (NLC) and polymeric Eudragit® nanocapsules (NCC) was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. adhered to stainless steel. NLC showed an average diameter of 270.8 nm, zeta potential of +8.64 mV, and encapsulation efficiency of 98%. Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of NLC was 3.53 mg/mL against Salmonella and 5.30 mg/mL against the other bacteria. NCC presented an average diameter of 159.3 nm, zeta potential of +44.8 mV, and encapsulation efficiency of 97%. MBC of NCC was 4.42 mg/mL against E. coli and 3.31 mg/mL against the other bacteria. After 2 h incubation with NCC at carvacrol concentration equivalent to ½ MBC, viable counts of Salmonella and E. coli were below the detection limit (1.69 CFU/mL). The population of L. monocytogenes and S. aureus was reduced by 2 log CFU/mL in 6 h. Afterwards, pools of each bacterium were separately adhered to stainless steel coupons (initial population 6.5 CFU/cm2). Salmonella and E. coli were inhibited below the detection limit using the NCC at concentration equivalent to MBC, while L. monocytogenes and S. aureus were reduced by 4 log CFU/cm2 and 3.5 log CFU/cm2, respectively. Although free carvacrol presented better results than encapsulated one in all tests performed, using encapsulated carvacrol could be more interesting for food applications by masking the strong aroma of the compound, in addition to a controlled release of carvacrol. The results suggest that NCC have potential for use in food contact surfaces in order to avoid bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation.

Abstract
Glioma is the prime cause of cancer allied mortality in adolescent people and it accounts about 80% of all malignant tumours. Eugenol is a major bioactive constituent present in the essential oils with numerous pharmacological benefits including nueroprotective activity. The major drawback of eugenol is its extreme volatile property and oxygen sensitivity therefore we increased the efficacy of drug; eugenol by encapsulating with chitosan polymer. Eugenol loaded chitosan polymer (EuCs) was characterized using FTIR, XRD, SEM, HR-TEM analysis and the encapsulation, drug release efficacy was assessed at in vitro condition. The induction of autophagy and anticancer efficacy of EuCs on glioma cells was evaluated with rat C6 glioma cells using MTT assay, acridine orange staining, immunocytochemical analysis of NFκβ protein expression and FLOW cytometric analysis. The anti-metastatic property of Eu-CS was assessed by immunoblotting and RT-PCR analysis of epithelial mesenchymal transition protein expression in EuCs treated rat C6 glioma cells. Our characterization analysis proves that EuCs possess essential physical and functional properties of copolymer to be utilized as a drug. Further the MTT analysis and AO staining confirms even in the presence of oncogenic inducer and autophagic inhibitors, EuCs exhibits apoptotic potency on rat C6 glioma cells. The result of immunocytochemical studies depicts the inhibition of NFκβ protein expression and flow cytometry studies confirm apoptosis induction by EuCs. The inhibition of metastasis by EuCs was proven by the decrease in epithelial mesenchymal transition protein expression in Eu-Cs treated rat C6 glioma cells. Over all our results authentically confirms eugenol loaded chitosan nanopolymer persuasively induces apoptosis and inhibits metastasis in rat C6 glioma cells.

Abstract
This work aimed to develop and evaluate pH-dependent systems based on nanospheres (NSphs) and nanocapsules (NCs) loaded with chlorhexidine (CHX) base as a novel formulation for the treatment of periodontal disease. Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) was employed as a pH-dependent polymeric material. The NSphs and NCs were prepared using the emulsion-diffusion technique and then characterized according to encapsulation efficiency (EE), size, zeta-potential, morphology, thermal properties, release profiles and a preliminary clinical panel test. The formulations showed 77% and 61% EE and 57% and 84% process efficiency (PE), respectively. Both systems were spherical with an average size of 250–300 nm. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies showed that the drug has the potential to be dispersed molecularly in the NSph matrix or dissolved in the oily center of the NCs. The CHX release test revealed that the release of NSphs-CHX follows Fickian diffusion involving diffusion-erosion processes. The NCs showed a slower release than the NSphs, following non-Fickian diffusion, which is indicative of anomalous transport. These nanosystems may, therefore, be employed as novel formulations for treating periodontal disease, due to (1) their coverage of a large surface area, (2) the controlled release of active substances at different pH, and (3) potential gingival tissue infiltration.

Abstract
Background It is important to explore the interaction between antibacterial nanoparticles and microbes for understanding bactericidal activity and developing novel applications. It is possible that the nanoparticulate size can govern the antibacterial potency. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC)–decorated nanoemulsions against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Methods The droplet size could be adjusted by varying the percentage of squalene, the main ingredient of the oily core. Results We fabricated cationic nanoemulsions of three different sizes, 55, 165, and 245 nm. The nanoemulsions showed greater storage stability than the self-assembled CPC micelles. The tested nanoemulsions exhibited more antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The killing of MRSA was mainly induced by direct cell-membrane damage. This rupture led to the leakage of cytoplasmic DNA and proteins. The nanoemulsions might also degrade the DNA helix and disturb protein synthesis. The proteomic analysis indicated the significant downregulation of DNA-directed RNA polymerase (RNAP) subunits β and β’. The antibacterial effect of nanoemulsions increased with decreasing droplet size in the biofilm MRSA but not planktonic MRSA. The small-sized nanoemulsions had potent antibiofilm activity that showed a colony-forming unit (CFU) reduction of 10-fold compared with the control. The loss of total DNA concentration also negatively correlated with the nanoemulsion size. Conclusion The present report established a foundation for the development of squalene@CPC nanosystems against drug-resistant S. aureus.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to explore the antimicrobial activity and mechanism of carvacrol against Vibrio Parahemolyticus, Shewanella putrefaciens, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas fluorescens and evaluate the effect of the addition of carvacrol/β-cyclodextrin emulsions to flaxseed gum (FSG)-sodium alginate (SA) edible films on the preservation of Chinese sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) fillets during refrigerated storage. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of carvacrol against V. parahemolyticus, S. putrefaciens, S. aureus and P. fluorescens were 0.5, 0.5, 0.125, and 0.5 mg/mL, respectively. Alkaline phosphatase activity assay, nucleotide and protein leakage, and scanning electron microscope demonstrated that carvacrol damaged the external structure of the tested bacterial cells causing leakage of cytoplasmic components. At the same time, when FSG-SA films containing carvacrol used as coating agents for Chinese sea bass fillets cold storage, FSG-SA films containing 1.0 or 2.0 mg/mL carvacrol could significantly reduce TVB-N content, K-value, the degree of microbial deterioration and maintain quality of sea bass fillets according to organoleptic evaluation results.

Improving Oxygen Permeability and Thermostability of Polycarbonate via Copolymerization Modification with Bio-Phenol Polysiloxane. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:polym11081302. [PMID: 31382630 PMCID: PMC6722555 DOI: 10.3390/polym11081302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2019] [Revised: 07/23/2019] [Accepted: 07/25/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
As a new kind of functionalized polysiloxane with chemical reactivity, bio-phenol polysiloxane was synthesized through facile heterogeneous catalytic route. Bio-phenol polysiloxane/polycarbonate (Si/PC) block copolymer was synthesized via a three-step approach, and the effect of the amount of bio-phenol polysiloxane on the properties of Si/PC copolymer was then studied. The structure and morphology of Si/PC copolymer were characterized, showing that, when the amount of bio-phenol polysiloxane reached 20%, the pyrolysis temperature of Si/PC copolymer at 5% weight loss was 450.8 °C which was 76.1 °C higher than pure PC. The oxygen permeability of 20%Si/PC copolymer membrane was 502.65 cm3/m2·24h·0.1MPa, which was increased by 128.4% compared with pure PC membrane. The mechanical property and hydrophobicity of Si/PC copolymer had been improved.

Abstract
This research was to evaluate the effects of gelatin (G) active coating containing eugenol/β-cyclodextrin (βCD) emulsions combined with superchilling (−0.9 °C) on physicochemical, microbiological, and organoleptic properties of Chinese seabass samples during 30 days of storage. Results showed that seabass samples dipped in G-βCD coatings containing 0.15% or 0.3% eugenol combined with superchilling could significantly lower the total volatile basic nitrogen, K value, total viable count, H2S-producing bacteria, Pseudomonas spp. and Psychrophilic counts, and free fatty acids. Further, G-βCD coatings containing eugenol with superchilling (−0.9 °C) were more effective in retarding the water migration by low field NMR and MRI results, maintaining quality of seabass during storage according to organoleptic evaluation results.

Abstract
Developing green and facile approaches to produce nanostructures suitable for bioactives, nanoencapsulation faces some challenges in the nutraceutical and food bioactive industries due to potential risks arising from nanomaterials fabrication and consumption. High-intensity ultrasound is an effective technology to generate different bio-based structures in sub-micron or nanometer scale. This technique owing to some intrinsic advantages such as safety, straightforward operation, energy efficiency, and scale-up potential, as well as, ability to control over size and morpHology has stood out among various nanosynthetic routes. Ultrasonically-provided energy is mainly transferred to the droplets and particles via acoustic cavitation (which is formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles in solvent). This review provides an outlook on the fundamentals of ultrasonication and some applicable setups in nanoencapsulation. Different kinds of nanostructures based on surfactants, lipids, proteins and carbohydrates formed by sonication, along with their advantages and disadvantages are assessed from the viewpoint of stability, particle size, and process impacts on some functionalities. The gastrointestinal fate and safety issues of ultrasonically prepared nanostructures are also discussed. Sonication, itself or in combination with other encapsulation approaches, alongside biopolymers generate nano-engineered carriers with enough stability, small particle sizes, and a low polydispersity. The nano-sized systems improve techno-functional activities of encapsulated bioactive agents including stability, solubility, dissolution, availability, controlled and targeted release profile in vitro and in vivo plus other bioactive properties such as antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities. Ultrasonically prepared nanocarriers show a great potential in fortifying food products with desired bioactive components, especially for the industrial applications.

Abstract
In the global context of an imminent emergence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms, the present work combined the use of nanotechnology and the therapeutic benefits of natural compounds as a strategy to potentiate antimicrobial action of the wide-spectrum antibiotic Ofloxacin (Ofx). Hybrid solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) were synthesized by incorporation of chitosan (Chi, a cationic biopolymer with antimicrobial activity) and eugenol (Eu, a phenolic compound that interferes with bacterial quorum sensing) into a lipid matrix by hot homogenization/ultrasonication method. The developed SLN/Chi/Eu sustainably released the encapsulated Ofx for 24 h. Characterization by DLS, TEM, DSC, TGA and XRD revealed the presence of positively charged spherical nanoparticles with diameters around 300 nm and Ofx entrapped in amorphous state. The SLN exhibited an enhanced bactericidal activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for free and nanoencapsulated Ofx formulations was below 1.0 µg/ml. The MIC values decreased by 6.1- to 16.1-fold when Ofx was encapsulated in SLN/Chi/Eu. Fluorescent-labeled nanoparticles had the ability to interact with the bacterial cell membrane. Selective toxicity of SLN/Chi/Eu-Ofx was tested in the range of 0.3-30.0 µg/ml and showed no toxicity up to 3.0 µg/ml Ofx in human cell models (A549 and Wi-38) at 24 h and 48 h exposure. It was proved that the administration of hybrid SLN to mice by dry powder inhalation reached therapeutic Ofx levels in lungs.

Abstract
Eugenol, used as bio-phenol, was designed to replace the hydrogen atom of hydrogenterminated siloxane by hydrosilylation reaction under the presence of alumina-supported platinum catalyst (Pt-Al2O3), silica-supported platinum catalyst (Pt-SiO2) and carbon nanotube-supported platinum catalyst (Pt-CNT), respectively. The catalytic activities of these three platinum catalysts were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrometer (1H NMR). The properties of bio-phenol siloxane were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT–IR), UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV) and thermogravimeter (TGA), and its antibacterial property against Escherichia coli was also studied. The results showed that the catalytic activity of the catalyst Pt-CNT was preferable. When the catalyst concentration was 100 ppm, the reaction temperature was 80 °C and reaction time was 6 h, the reactant conversion rate reached 97%. After modification with bio-phenol, the thermal stability of the obtained bio-phenol siloxane was improved. For bio-phenol siloxane, when the ratio of weight loss reached 98%, the pyrolysis temperature was raised to 663 °C which was 60 °C higher than hydrogenterminated siloxane. Meanwhile, its autonomic antibacterial property against Escherichia coli was improved significantly.
