Abstract
In the search for photosensitizers with chemical handles to facilitate their integration into complex drug delivery nanosystems, new, unsymmetrically substituted, water insoluble meso-tetraphenylporphyrin and meso-tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin derivatives bearing one carboxyalkyl side chain were synthesized. Permethyl-β-cyclodextrin (pMβCD) was their ideal monomerizing host and highly efficient shuttle to transfer them into water. New assembly modes of the extremely stable (Kbinding > 1012 M-2) 2:1 complexes were identified. The complexes are photostable and do not disassemble in FBS-containing cell culture media for 24 h. Incubation of breast cancer MCF-7 cells with the complexes results in intense intracellular fluorescence, strongly enhanced in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), high photokilling efficiency (~90%) and low dark toxicity. pMβCD stands out as a very capable molecular isolator of mono-carboxyalkyl-arylporphyrins that increases uptake and modulates their localization in the cells. The most efficient porphyrins are envisaged as suitable photosensitizers that can be linked to biocompatible drug carriers for photo- and chemo-therapy applications.

Abstract
Due to their unique structural, physical and chemical properties, cyclodextrins and their derivatives have been of great interest to scientists and researchers in both academia and industry for over a century. Many of the industrial applications of cyclodextrins have arisen from their ability to encapsulate, either partially or fully, other molecules, especially organic compounds. Cyclodextrins are non-toxic oligopolymers of glucose that help to increase the solubility of organic compounds with poor aqueous solubility, can mask odors from foul-smelling compounds, and have been widely studied in the area of drug delivery. In this review, we explore the structural and chemical properties of cyclodextrins that give rise to this encapsulation (i.e., the formation of inclusion complexes) ability. This review is unique from others written on this subject because it provides powerful insights into factors that affect cyclodextrin encapsulation. It also examines these insights in great detail. Later, we provide an overview of some industrial applications of cyclodextrins, while emphasizing the role of encapsulation in these applications. We strongly believe that cyclodextrins will continue to garner interest from scientists for many years to come, and that novel applications of cyclodextrins have yet to be discovered.

Abstract
Inclusion complexation of rifampicin (RIF) with several types of cyclodextrins (βCD, hydroxypropyl-βCD, γCD, hydroxypropyl-γCD) in aqueous solutions at different pH values was investigated to assess the interactions between RIF and cyclodextrins (CDs). Molecular modeling was performed to determine the possible interactions between RIF and CDs at several pH values. The inclusion complexes were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, this study evaluated the dissolution profile and antibacterial activity of the formed complexes. Phase solubility analysis suggested the formation of RIF-CD affirmed 1:1 stoichiometry at all pH values (except RIF-βCD at pH 4.0 and both βCD and γCD at pH 9.0). The inclusion complexation of RIF with CD successfully increased the percentage of RIF released in in vitro studies. The inclusion complexes of RIF exhibited more than 60% of RIF released in 2 h which was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than release of pure RIF, which was only less than 10%. Antibacterial activity of RIF-CD complexes (measured by the minimum inhibitory concentration of RIF against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) was lower for both RIF-βCD and RIF-HPγCD at pH 7.0 to pure RIF suspension. In conclusion, this work reports that both βCD and γCD can be used to enhance the solubility of RIF and thus, improve the effectivity of RIF by decreasing the required daily dose of RIF for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Native Cyclodextrins as Complexation Agents for Pterostilbene: Complex Preparation and Characterization in Solution and in the Solid State. Pharmaceutics 2021; 14:pharmaceutics14010008.

Abstract
Pterostilbene (3,5-dimethoxy-4′-hydroxystilbene, PTB) is a natural dietary stilbene, occurring primarily in blueberries and Pterocarpus marsupium heartwood. The interest in this compound is related to its different biological and pharmacological properties, such as its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic activities and its capacity to reduce and regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Nevertheless, its use in therapy is hindered by its low aqueous solubility; to overcome this limitation we studied the feasibility of the use of cyclodextrins (CDs) as solubility-enhancing agents. CDs are natural macrocyclic oligomers composed of α-d-glucose units linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds to form torus-shaped molecules, responsible for inclusion complex formation with organic molecules. In particular, the aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of complexation between PTB and native CDs using various preparative methods. The isolated solid products were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), simultaneous thermogravimetric/DSC analysis (TGA/DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) on powder and single crystals. The results indicated little or no evidence of the affinity of PTB to complex with α-CD using the kneading method. However, with β-CD and γ-CD thermal analysis revealed an interaction which was also corroborated by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. With β-CD, a hydrated complex of PTB was isolated and its characterization by single-crystal XRD revealed, for the first time, the mode of inclusion of the PTB molecule in the cavity of a CD. To complement the solid-state data, liquid-phase studies were carried out to establish the effect of CDs on the aqueous solubility of PTB and to determine the complex stoichiometries and the association constants for complex formation. Phase-solubility studies showed AL-type profiles for α- and β-CD and a BS profile for γ-CD, with K1:1 values of 1144, 4950, and 133 M−1 for α-CD·PTB, β-CD·PTB, and γ-CD·PTB, respectively. The stoichiometry of CD·PTB complexes, determined by Job’s method, revealed for each system a 1:1 molar ratio. The dissolution rate of PTB was approximately doubled just by employing simple physical mixtures, but the best performance was achieved by products obtained via kneading and co-precipitation, which effected the complete dissolution of PTB in 40 and 20 min for β-CD and γ-CD, respectively.

Abstract
The incidence of corneal fungal infections continues to be a growing concern worldwide. Ocular delivery of anti-fungal drugs is challenging due to the anatomical and physiological barriers of the eye. The ocular bioavailability of ketoconazole (KTZ), a widely prescribed antifungal agent, is hampered by its limited aqueous solubility and permeation. In the study, the physicochemical properties of KTZ were improved by complexation with sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD).KTZ-SBE-β-CD complex was studied in silico with docking and dynamics simulations, followed by wet-lab experiments.The optimized KTZ-SBE-β-CD complex was loaded into a thermosensitivein situ gel to increase corneal bioavailability. The supramolecular complex increased the solubility of KTZ by 5-folds and exhibited a 10-fold increment in drug release compared to the pure KTZ. Owing to the diffusion, thein situ gel exhibited a more sustained drug release profile. Theex vivocorneal permeation studies showed higher permeation from KTZ-SBE-β-CD in situ gel (flux of ∼19.11 µg/cm2/h) than KTZin situ gel (flux of ∼1.17 µg/cm2/h). The cytotoxicity assays and the hen's egg chorioallantoic membrane assay (HET-CAM) confirmed the formulations' safety and non-irritancy. In silico guided design of KTZ-SBE-β-CD inclusion complexes successfully modified the physicochemical properties of KTZ. In addition, the loading of the KTZ-SBE-β-CD complex into an in situ gel significantly increased the precorneal retention and permeation of KTZ, indicating that the developed formulation is a viable modality to treat fungal keratitis.

Self-assembling, supramolecular chemistry and pharmacology of amphotericin B: Poly-aggregates, oligomers and monomers. J Control Release 2021; 341:716-732.

Abstract
Antifungal drugs such as amphotericin B (AmB) interact with lipids and phospholipids located on fungal cell membranes to disrupt them and create pores, leading to cell apoptosis and therefore efficacy. At the same time, the interaction can also take place with cell components from mammalian cells, leading to toxicity. AmB was selected as a model antifungal drug due to the complexity of its supramolecular chemical structure which can self-assemble in three different aggregation states in aqueous media: monomer, oligomer (also known as dimer) and poly-aggregate. The interplay between AmB self-assembly and its efficacy or toxicity against fungal or mammalian cells is not yet fully understood. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that investigates the role of excipients in the supramolecular chemistry of AmB and the impact on its biological activity and toxicity. The monomeric state was obtained by complexation with cyclodextrins resulting in the most toxic state, which was attributed to the greater production of highly reactive oxygen species upon disruption of mammalian cell membranes, a less specific mechanism of action compared to the binding to the ergosterol located in fungal cell membranes. The interaction between AmB and sodium deoxycholate resulted in the oligomeric and poly-aggregated forms which bound more selectively to the ergosterol of fungal cell membranes. NMR combined with XRD studies elucidated the interaction between drug and excipient to achieve the AmB aggregation states, and ultimately, their diffusivity across membranes. A linear correlation between particle size and the efficacy/toxicity ratio was established allowing to modulate the biological effect of the drug and hence, to improve pharmacological regimens. However, particle size is not the only factor modulating the biological response but also the equilibrium of each state which dictates the fraction of free monomeric form available. Tuning the aggregation state of AmB formulations is a promising strategy to trigger a more selective response against fungal cells and to reduce the toxicity in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Zotepine is an atypical antipsychotic drug used in the treatment of schizophrenia. However, its poor dissolution properties limit its therapeutic efficacy. In this investigation, a series of nanosuspension-containing zotepine were prepared employing media milling method with an aim to improve its dissolution properties and oral bioavailability. Briefly, Box-Behnken design was applied to investigate the influence of various independent variables such as X1- amount of stabilizer, X2- amount of milling agent, and X3- milling time on the performance of the formulation. Dissolution studies revealed enhancement of dissolution rate as compared to pure drug. Solid state characterization (DSC, PXRD, and SEM) studies demonstrated no polymorphic changes in drug after lyophilization of media-milled nanosuspension. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies of lyophilized nanosuspension was carried out in rat and the results exhibited significant improvement in Cmax and AUC0-t, about 450.0 and 287.45%, respectively, suggesting amelioration in oral bioavailability by 2.87-fold higher as compared to pure drug. Accelerated stability studies of the optimized lyophilized formulation at 40°C and 75% RH suggested stability of the nanocrystals for at least a 6-month period. The obtained nanocrystals successfully showed dissolution enhancement and improved oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drug, zotepine.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins are well known for their ability to form stable, highly soluble complexes with various substances, which makes them widely used as excipients in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. In this work, properties of heptakis(2,6-O-dimethyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DM-β-CD) in vacuo and in water, as well as its ability to bind the antidepressant drug mianserin (MIA) in aqueous solution, are investigated computationally. The results are shown to depend strongly on the density functional theory (DFT) applied. The most stable conformers of DM-β-CD found with the B3LYP-GD2 method differ from these indicated by M062X-GD3 and other functionals. According to the latter, two crystal structures, ZULQAY and BOYFOK03, optimized in vacuo and in water, respectively, have the lowest energy. Both the B3LYP-GD2 and M062X-GD3 results show that all tested inclusion and noninclusion complexes of MIA:DM-β-CD in stoichiometry 1:1 are stable in water. However, the structures and their energetic properties obtained with each method differ: in the most stable configurations, different aromatic rings of MIA are embedded inside DM-β-CD, and the corresponding complexation energies (calculated with the 6-31++G(d,p) basis set and corrected for the basis set superposition error) are -29.6 (B3LYP-GD2) and -23.9 (M062X-GD3) kcal/mol. The NMR spectra of DM-β-CD and MIA:DM-β-CD are also compared.

Abstract
CONTEXT Recent studies demonstrated the anti-atherosclerotic efficacy of cyclodextrin. However, it remains unclear whether cyclodextrin exerts the anti-atherosclerotic effect via regulating monocyte-endothelial adhesion. OBJECTIVE To answer that question by recruiting methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) as a cyclodextrin representative. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were not treated, or treated with 1 µg/mL liposaccharide (LPS) or 50 µg/mL oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) for 12 h, 5 mM MβCD for 1 h, and LPS/oxLDL (1 and 50 µg/mL, respectively for 12 h) plus MβCD (5 mM for 1 h), respectively. The effects of MβCD on LPS/oxLDL-triggered monocyte-endothelial adhesion and related molecules in signalling pathways were evaluated via confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, RT-PCR, western blotting, and cell adhesion assay. RESULTS MβCD with an IC50 of 27.66 mM (1 h treatment) exerted no significant cytotoxicity at ≤5 mM for ≤2 h. Compared with the control, both LPS and oxLDL induced an ∼2-3-fold increase in adhesion molecule expression (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 at protein and mRNA levels) and NF-κB phosphorylation (p-NF-κB/pP65), an increase in IκB kinase (IKK), and a decrease in phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-Akt), respectively. Moreover, more monocytes (2-fold higher for LPS and 15% higher for oxLDL) were attached on LPS/oxLDL-stimulated HUVECs. 5 mM MβCD reversed the LPS/oxLDL-induced changes back to the control levels. CONCLUSIONS MβCD significantly suppresses the LPS/oxLDL-triggered monocyte-endothelial adhesion by downregulating adhesion molecule expression probably via LPS-IKK-NF-κB or oxLDL-Akt-NF-κB pathway. This study demonstrates a potential mechanism of the anti-atherosclerotic efficacy of cyclodextrin from the angle of monocyte-endothelial adhesion.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin polymers and cyclodextrin-based nanosponges have been widely investigated for increasing drug bioavailability. This study examined curcumin's complexation stability and solubilization with β-cyclodextrin and β-cyclodextrin-based nanosponge. Nanosponges were prepared through the cross-linking of β-cyclodextrin with different molar ratios of diphenyl carbonate. Phase solubility experiments were conducted to evaluate the formed complexes and evaluate the potential of using β-cyclodextrin and nanosponge in pharmaceutical formulations. Furthermore, physicochemical characterizations of the prepared complexes included PXRD, FTIR, NMR, and DSC. In addition, in vitro release studies were performed for the prepared formulations. The formation of β-cyclodextrin complexes enhanced curcumin solubility up to 2.34-fold compared to the inherent solubility, compared to a 2.95-fold increment in curcumin solubility when loaded in β-cyclodextrin-based nanosponges. Interestingly, the stability constant for curcumin nanosponges was (4972.90 M-1), which was ten times higher than that for the β-cyclodextrin complex, where the value was 487.34 M-1. The study results indicated a decrease in the complexation efficiency and solubilization effect with the increased cross-linker amount. This study's findings showed the potential of using cyclodextrin-based nanosponge and the importance of studying the effect of cross-linking density for the preparation of β-cyclodextrin-based nanosponges to be used for pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
Anthocyanins are a group of phytochemicals responsible for the purple or red color of plants. Additionally, they are recognized to have health promoting functions including anti-cardiovascular, anti-thrombotic, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial, neuroprotective, and visual protective effect as well as anti-cancer activities. Thus, consumption of anthocyanin supplement or anthocyanin-rich foods has been recommended to prevent the risk of development of chronic diseases. However, the low stability and bioavailability of anthocyanins limit the efficacy and distribution of anthocyanins in human body. Thus, strategies to achieve target site-local delivery with good bioavailability and controlled release rate are necessary. This review introduced and discussed the latest advanced techniques of designing lipid-based, polysaccharide-based and protein-based complexes, nano-encapsulation and exosome to overcome the limitation of anthocyanins. The improved bioavailability and controlled release of anthocyanins have great significance for gastrointestinal tract absorption, transepithelial transportation and cellular uptake. The techniques of applying different biocompatible materials and modifying the solubility of anthocyanins complex could achieve target site-local delivery with negligible degradation and good bioavailability in human body.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as new drug delivery systems as well as a regenerative cell-free effectors going beyond academic research to reach industrial research and development (R&D). Many proof-of-concept studies are now published describing the delivery of drugs, nanoparticles or biologics among which nucleic acids, proteins, viruses, etc. Their main interests rely on their intrinsic biocompatibility, targeting capabilities and biological activities. The possibility of loading EVs with exogenous therapeutic drug/nanoparticles or imaging tracers opens up the perspectives to extend EV therapeutic properties and enable EV tracking. Clinical translation is still hampered by the difficulty to produce and load EVs with large scale, efficient and cGMP methods. In this review, we critically discuss important notions related to EV engineering and the methods available with a particular focus on technologies fitted for clinical translation. Besides, we provide a tentative data reporting frame in order to support comparability and standardization in the field.

Abstract
Natural cyclodextrins (CDs) are macrocyclic starch molecules discovered a decade ago, in which α-, β-, and γ-CD were commonly used. They originally acted as pharmaceutical excipients to enhance the aqueous solubility and alter the physicochemical properties of drugs that fall under class II and IV categories according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BPS). The industrial significance of CDs became apparent during the 1970s as scientists started to discover more of CD's potential in chemical modifications and the formation of inclusion complexes. CDs can help in masking and prolonging the half-life of drugs used in cancer. Multiple optimization techniques were discovered to prepare the derivatives of CDs and increase their complexation and drug delivery efficiency. In recent years, due to the advancement of nanotechnology in pharmaceutical sectors, there has been growing interest in CDs. This review mainly focuses on the formulation of cyclodextrin conjugated nanocarriers using graphenes, carbon nanotubes, nanosponges, hydrogels, dendrimers, and polymers to achieve drug-release characteristics specific to cells. These approaches benefit the discovery of novel anti-cancer treatments, solubilization of new drug compounds, and cell specific drug delivery properties. Due to these unique properties of CDs, they are essential in achieving and enhancing tumor-specific cancer treatment.

Abstract
The precise understanding of the behaviour of vitamin E (α-tocopherol; Toc) complexed with cyclodextrin (CD) additives in aqueous solution is a fundamental issue for further development of their aqua-related biological applications. In this study, the solubilisation and complexation behaviours of Toc with methyl-substituted CD derivatives and the radical scavenging ability of the resulting complexes were precisely investigated in water media. Several problems were encountered upon pre-dissolving Toc in an organic solvent prior to the addition to the water media, such as enhancement of the dispersibility and decrease in the complexation capacity. Additionally, dispersions were obtained in some cases when mixing CD and Toc even in the absence of an organic solvent; therefore, to perform the measurements, a transparent solution was prepared via filtration with a nanopore filter. Consequently, unexpectedly, the addition of certain CD methylated derivatives did not always enhance the solubility of Toc significantly. However, 2,6-di-O-methylated β-CD (2,6-DMCD) formed a water-soluble inclusion complex with Toc, effectively enhancing its solubility. A phase solubility study indicated the formation of 1:2 or 1:3 Toc/CD inclusion complexes, and the interaction of 2,6-DMCD with both the chromanol head and the phytol chain of Toc was revealed by 2D ROESY nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The interaction between 2,6-DMCD and the chromanol head was also confirmed for a 2,6-DMCD-2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-chromanol inclusion complex. Additionally, a rapid scavenging effect for molecularly dissolved Toc was demonstrated even in a system comprising a chromanol head directly encapsulated by CD. Hence, this work elucidated the precise complexation and radical scavenging ability of 2,6-DMCD-Toc in an aqueous solution, which paves the way for its biological applications.

Abstract
The use of cyclodextrins as drug nano-carrier systems for drug delivery is gaining importance in the pharmaceutical industry due to the interesting pharmacokinetic properties of the resulting inclusion complexes. In the present work, complexes of the anti-cancer alkaloids camptothecin and luotonin A have been prepared with β-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. These cyclodextrin complexes were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The variations in the 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR chemical shifts allowed to establish the inclusion modes of the compounds into the cyclodextrin cavities, which were supported by docking and molecular dynamics studies. The efficiency of the complexation was quantified by UV-Vis spectrophotometry and spectrofluorimetry, which showed that the protonation equilibria of camptothecin and luotonin A were drastically hampered upon formation of the inclusion complexes. The stabilization of camptothecin towards hydrolysis inside the cyclodextrin cavity was verified by the quantitation of the active lactone form by reverse phase liquid chromatography fluorimetric detection, both in basic conditions and in the presence of serum albumin. The antitumor activity of luotonin A and camptothecin complexes were studied in several cancer cell lines (breast, lung, hepatic carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma and human neuroblastoma) and an enhanced activity was found compared to the free alkaloids, particularly in the case of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin derivatives. This result shows that the cyclodextrin inclusion strategy has much potential towards reaching the goal of employing luotonin A or its analogues as stable analogues of camptothecin.

Abstract
Bent metallocene dichlorides (Cp2MCl2, M = Ti, Mo, Nb, …) have found interest as anti-cancer drugs in order to overcome the drawbacks associated with platinum-based therapeutics. However, they suffer from poor hydrolytic stability at physiological pH. A promising approach to improve their hydrolytic stability is the formation of host-guest complexes with macrocyclic structures, such as cyclodextrins. In this work, we utilized nanoelectrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry to probe the interaction of titanocene dichloride with β-cyclodextrin. Unlike the non-covalent binding of phenylalanine and oxaliplatin to β-cyclodextrin, the mixture of titanocene and β-cyclodextrin led to signals assigned as [βCD + Cp2Ti–H]+, indicating a covalent character of the interaction. This finding is supported by titanated cyclodextrin fragment ions occurring from collisional activation. Employing di- and trimethylated β-cyclodextrins as hosts enabled the elucidation of the influence of the cyclodextrin hydroxy groups on the interaction with guest structures. Masking of the hydroxy groups was found to impair the covalent interaction and enabling the encapsulation of the guest structure within the hydrophobic cavity of the cyclodextrin. Findings are further supported by breakdown curves obtained by gas-phase dissociation of the various complexes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many drugs used to combat schistosomiasis, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis (SCL) have clinical limitations such as: high toxicity to the liver, kidneys and spleen; reproductive, gastrointestinal, and heart disorders; teratogenicity. In this sense, drug delivery systems (DDSs) have been described in the literature as a viable option for overcoming the limitations of these drugs. An analysis of the level of development (TRL) of patents can help in determine the steps that must be taken for promising technologies to reach the market. AREAS COVERED This study aimed to analyze the stage of development of DDSs for the treatment of SCL described in patents. In addition, we try to understand the main reasons why many DDSs do not reach the market. In this study, we examined DDSs for drugs indicated by WHO and treatment of SCL, by performing a search for patents. EXPERT OPINION In this present work we provide arguments that support the hypothesis that there is a lack of integration between academia and industry to finance and continue research, especially the development of clinical studies. We cite the translational research consortia as the potential alternative for developing DDSs to combat NTDs.

Abstract
About 40% of newly-discovered entities are poorly soluble in water, and this may be an obstacle in the creation of new drugs. To address this problem, the present review article examines the structure and properties of cyclodextrins and the formation and potential uses of drug - cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides containing six or more D-(+)- glucopyranose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds, which are characterized by a favourable toxicological profile, low local toxicity and low mucous and eye irritability; they are virtually non-toxic when administered orally. They can be incorporated in the formulation of new drugs in their natural form (α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrin) or as chemically-modified derivatives. They may also be used as an excipient in drugs delivered by oral, ocular, dermal, nasal and rectal routes, as described in the present paper. Cyclodextrins are promising compounds with many beneficial properties, and their use may be increasingly profitable for pharmaceutical scientists.

Abstract
Linalool, a volatile terpene alcohol, is responsible for a characteristic aroma in food, beverages, and cosmetics. However, linalool’s low aqueous solubility and high volatility limit the applications and shelf life of linalool-containing products. Nanoencapsulation using beta-cyclodextrin (BCD), methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MBCD) and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) was studied to improve the aqueous solubility and stability of linalool. Linalool has two enantiomers with distinct flavors and odors which affect product quality. The enantiomeric selectivity of the cyclodextrins (CDs) toward racemic linalool standard was evaluated. A computational simulation was performed to predict the conformations and interactions of the inclusion complexes. The 1:1 host-guest ratio from the computer simulation was implemented in the experimental study. Phase solubility study shows an improvement in linalool aqueous solubility after being encapsulated by CDs. The encapsulation efficiencies of linalool/BCD, linalool/MBCD, and linalool/HPBCD inclusion complexes are 66.30%, 51.38% and 32.31%, respectively. Nanoencapsulation by CDs can preserve linalool in the form of inclusion complexes compared to its free form. The amount of remaining linalool in linalool/BCD, linalool/MBCD, and linalool/HPBCD inclusion complexes are 89.57%, 87.07%, and 74.86%, respectively which are considerably larger than that of pure linalool (42.30%). CDs also show the enantiomeric selectivity toward (R)-linalool as evident from (R)-linalool percentage of 54.53% in the inclusion complex.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for non-invasive, high-resolution three-dimensional medical imaging of anatomical structures such as organs and tissues. The use of contrast agents based on gadolinium chelates started in 1988 to improve the quality of the image, since researchers and industry focused their attention on the development of more efficient and stable structures. This review is about the state of the art of MRI contrast agents based on cyclodextrin scaffolds. Chemical engineering strategies are herein reported including host-guest inclusion complexation and covalent linkages. It also offers descriptions of the MRI properties and in vitro and in vivo biomedical applications of these emerging macrostructures. It highlights that these supramolecular associations can improve the image contrast, the sensitivity, and the efficiency of MRI diagnosis by targeting cancer tumors and other diseases with success proving the great potential of this natural macrocycle.

Abstract
Polysaccharide substrates loaded with antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds, effectively protected by cyclodextrin moieties, can be a long-lasting solution to confer certain properties to fabrics, paper and other materials. β-Cyclodextrin was attached to α-cellulose, bleached pulp and starch by a two-step esterification with a tetracarboxylic acid. The resulting derivatives were characterized by spectroscopy, thermal degradation analysis and capability of phenolphthalein inclusion. The carriers, containing between 89 and 171 μmol of β-cyclodextrin per gram, were loaded with carvacrol, cuminaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde and hydroxytyrosol. From a stoichiometric addition, the percentage of compound retained ranged from 49% (hydroxytyrosol in pulp-cyclodextrin) to 92% (carvacrol in starch-cyclodextrin). Finally, the release rate to aqueous ethanol was measured over eight days and fitted to kinetic models. From the analysis of the mean dissolution time, it can be concluded that inserting β-cyclodextrin units enhanced the long-term holding of phenolic active compounds in carbohydrate matrices.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin (CD) complexes are frequently used for enhancing the solubility or absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs. On the contrary, little is known about their complex formation with water-soluble drugs. Here, we have studied the interaction between 2-hydroxypropyl β-CD (HPβCD) and three water-soluble drugs, namely naloxone (NX), oxycodone (OC), and tramadol (TR), by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) combined with molecular modeling in view of the potential impact on drug release. The results showed that the complex formation of HPβCD with all three drugs occurs spontaneously. The complexes formed with NX and OC were found to be 2NX:1HPβCD and 3OC:2HPβCD, respectively. TR was found to form 2 complexes with HPβCD; of 1:2 and 1:1 complexation ratios. The binding of HPβCD to NX was greater than to OC due to the higher hydrophobicity of the structure of the former. Moreover, the binding affinity of HPβCD to TR was higher than to OC, which indicated the effect of the higher flexibility of the guest in increasing the binding affinity. In vitro drug release experiments from the various complexes revealed a significant impact of the stoichiometry of the complex on the release profiles. Accordingly, the co-administration of cyclodextrins with water-soluble drugs should be closely monitored, as it may result in unintentional complex formation that can potentially impact the drugs’ gastrointestinal absorption.

Abstract
Winemaking is a process that generates a large volume of solid waste biomass, which is currently under extensive investigation as a bioresource of precious polyphenolic compounds. These substances are retrieved from vinification side streams principally by deploying solid–liquid extraction methods. In this frame, the present investigation had as objective the development of an alternative, green extraction process for polyphenols, through integration of ultrasonication as a pretreatment stage, and subsequent extraction with aqueous β-cyclodextrin. Polyphenol recovery from red grape pomace (RGP) was shown to be significantly enhanced by ultrasonication pretreatment, and the use of β-cyclodextrin effectively boosted the aqueous extraction. Under optimized conditions, established by response surface methodology, the maximum yield in total polyphenols was 57.47 mg GAE g−1 dm, at 80 °C, requiring a barrier of 10.95 kJ mol−1. The extract produced was significantly enriched in catechin and quercetin, compared to the aqueous extract, exhibiting also increased antiradical activity. These findings highlighted the value of the process developed for targeted recovery of certain polyphenols and the preparation of task-specific extracts.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of cyclodextrins (CyDs) to stabilize exnatide in the microencapsulation medium and influence on the pharmaceutical properties of exenatide loaded PLGA microsphere. Three CyDs interacted differently with exenatide by investigation using ultraviolet, fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The binding affinities of CyDs to the hydrophobic tryptophan residues of exenatide increased in following order: α-CyD < β-CyD < γ-CyD. It was consistent with orders of W/O interface stabilizing and anti-adsorption effects. However, the stabilizing effect of β-CyD on liquid-state and freeze-drying of exenatide was greater than that of γ-CyD. The negative values of ΔH0, ΔS0, and ΔG0 indicated that the exenatide-CyDs complex formation was a favorable exothermic and spontaneous processes that increased the order in the complex with structural rigidity. Furthermore, it was also shown that β-CyD improved encapsulation efficiency, in vitro extended release, and in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of prepared PLGA microspheres.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the current research was the development hard cellulose capsules containing cefpodoxime proxetil (CEF) (BCS-Class II) encapsulated nanospheres of inclusion complexes with β-CD, HP-β-CD and M-β-CD for efficient antibacterial therapy. SIGNIFICANCE The reason for this phenomenon is to bring an innovative approach to effective oral antimicrobial therapy with hard cellulose capsules containing spray dried nanospheres of CEF with β-CD, HP-β-CD and M-β-CD by means of increased solubility, dissolution rate and improved antibacterial efficiency with lower oral dose. METHODS Phase solubility analyses was performed to evaluate the drug/CD interaction, involving the stoichiometry and apparent stability constant. Following the preparation of inclusion complexes by spray-drying method, complexes were characterized for physical, solid-state and microbiological analyses. In vitro dissolution from hard cellulose capsules containing CEF and CEF/β-CD, CEF/HP-β-CD and CEF/M-β-CD complexes were performed. RESULTS According to AL type phase solubility curves, complexes were formulated as 1:1 molar ratio. The solubility of pure CEF was determined as 0.241 ± 0.002 mg mL-1, the solubility of inclusion complexes increased solubility from 3 to 5 times. The strong host-guest interaction was confirmed for CEF/HP-β-CD and CEF/M-β-CD complexes with SEM, DSC, FT-IR and 1H-NMR analyses. Inclusion complexes were more efficient on bacterial cells (2-4 fold) than pure CEF both Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Hard-cellulose capsules filled with inclusion complexes exhibited significantly faster release than unprocessed CEF. CONCLUSION Hard-cellulose capsules containing CEF/HP-β-CD and CEF/M-β-CD complexes appear to be superior alternative to commercially available CEF tablets for effective antibacterial therapy.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are oligosaccharides widely used in the pharmaceutical field. In this review, a detailed examination of the literature of the last two decades has been made to understand the role of CDs in nasal drug delivery systems. In nasal formulations, CDs are used as pharmaceutical excipients, as solubilizers and absorption promoters, and as active ingredients due to their several biological activities (antiviral, antiparasitic, anti-atherosclerotic, and neuroprotective). The use of CDs in nasal formulations allowed obtaining versatile drug delivery systems intended for local and systemic effects, as well as for nose-to-brain transport of drugs. In vitro and in vivo models currently employed are suitable to analyze the effects of CDs in nasal formulations. Therefore, CDs are versatile pharmaceutical materials, and due to the continual synthesis of new CDs derivatives, the research on the new nasal applications is an interesting field evolving in the coming years, to which Italian research will still contribute.

Abstract
Recent preclinical studies have shown that resveratrol (RSV), is a promising remedy for osteoporosis owing to its estrogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. However, RSV has met limited success due to its poor oral bioavailability and inefficient systemic delivery. In this study, we prepared the inclusion complex of RSV with sulfo-butyl ether β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) to enhance the aqueous solubility of RSV. The in-silico docking studies and Physico-chemical characterization assays were performed to understand the interaction of RSV inside the SBE-β-CD cavity. The in vivo safety assessment of RSV-SBE-β-CD inclusion complex (R-CDIC) was performed in healthy Wistar rats. The efficacy of the inclusion complex against postmenopausal osteoporosis was further investigated in ovariectomized (OVX) rat model. The alteration in the bone micro-architectural structure was evaluated by microcomputed tomographic scanning, serum biochemical estimations, biomechanical strength and histopathological investigation. Administration of RSV-SBE-β-CD inclusion complex was found to be safe and significantly improved micro-architectural deterioration induced by estrogen withdrawal. Results of bone morphometry and biomechanics study further emboldened the efficacy claim of the RSV-SBE-β-CD complex. Thus, the present study demonstrated the efficacy of the RSV-SBE-β-CD inclusion complex for treating osteolytic degradation in osteoporosis.

Abstract
Natural products endowed of biological activity represent a primary source of commodities ranging from nutrition to therapeutic agents, as well as cosmetic tools and recreational principles. These natural means have been used by mankind for centuries, if not millennia. They are commonly used all over the world in socio-economical contexts, but are particularly attractive in disadvantaged areas or economically emerging situations all over the world. This is very likely due to the relatively easy recovery of these bioactive principles from the environment, at a low if any cost, as well as ease of administration and the general popular compliance concerning their consumption/ingestion. In this concise review, we focus on some popular bioactive principles of botanical origin which find a wide use in the Madagascan populations. However, due to space limitations, only some of the most common and largely diffused principles in this country are considered. Finally, a possible nanotechnological administration is discussed in the case where a potential therapeutic usage is envisaged.

Abstract
Introduction SARS-CoV-2 replication in cell cultures has been shown to be inhibited by ivermectin. However, ivermectin's low aqueous solubility and bioavailability hinders its application in COVID-19 treatment. Also, it has been suggested that best outcomes for this medication can be achieved via direct administration to the lung. Objectives This study aimed at evaluating the safety of a novel ivermectin inhalable formulation in rats as a pre-clinical step. Methods Hydroxy propyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was used to formulate readily soluble ivermectin lyophilized powder. Adult male rats were used to test lung toxicity for ivermectin-HP-β-CD formulations in doses of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 mg/kg for 3 successive days. Results The X-ray diffraction for lyophilized ivermectin-HP-β-CD revealed its amorphous structure that increased drug aqueous solubility 127-fold and was rapidly dissolved within 5 s in saline. Pulmonary administration of ivermectin-HP-β-CD in doses of 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 mg/kg showed dose-dependent increase in levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-13 and ICAM-1 as well as gene expression of MCP-1, protein expression of PIII-NP and serum levels of SP-D paralleled by reduction in IL-10. Moreover, lungs treated with ivermectin (0.2 mg/kg) revealed mild histopathological alterations, while severe pulmonary damage was seen in rats treated with ivermectin at doses of 0.4 and 0.8 mg/kg. However, ivermectin-HP-β-CD formulation administered in doses of 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg revealed safety profiles. Conclusion The safety of inhaled ivermectin-HP-β-CD formulation is dose-dependent. Nevertheless, use of low doses (0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg) could be considered as a possible therapeutic regimen in COVID-19 cases.

Abstract
By complexing with hydrophobic compounds, cyclodextrins afford increased solubility and thermodynamic stability to hardly soluble compounds, thereby underlining their invaluable applications in pharmaceutical and other industries. However, common cyclodextrins such as β-cyclodextrin, suffer from limited solubility in water, which often leads to precipitation and formation of unfavorable aggregates, driving the search for better solvents. Here, we study the solvation of cyclodextrin in deep eutectic solvents (DESs), environmentally friendly media that possess unique properties. We focus on reline, the DES formed from choline chloride and urea, and resolve the mechanism through which its constituents elevate β-cyclodextrin solubility in hydrated solutions compared to pure water or dry reline. Combining experiments and simulations, we determine that the remarkable solubilization of β-cyclodextrin in hydrated reline is mostly due to the inclusion of urea inside β-cyclodextrin's cavity and at its exterior surfaces. The role of choline chloride in further increasing solvation is twofold. First, it increases urea's solubility beyond the saturation limit in water, ultimately leading to much higher β-cyclodextrin solubility in hydrated reline in comparison to aqueous urea solutions. Second, choline chloride increases urea's accumulation in β-cyclodextrin's vicinity. Specifically, we find that the accumulation of urea becomes stronger at high reline concentrations, as the solution transitions from reline-in-water to water-in-reline, where water alone cannot be regarded as the solvent. Simulations further suggest that in dry DES, the mechanism of β-cyclodextrin solvation changes so that reline acts as a quasi-single component solvent that lacks preference for the accumulation of urea or choline chloride around β-cyclodextrin.

Abstract
The purpose of this randomized controlled study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a novel oral spray containing resveratrol (RV) in controlling bacterial biofilm and gingival inflammation in early childhood. RV, a natural polyphenol, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-infective activities, was included in a nanovector of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrins (HPβCD) to improve its bioavailability. A total of 64 children between two and five years of age with plaque-induced gingivitis were randomly included in two equal groups. Both groups were enrolled in a mechanical plaque control program for a period of four weeks, while the test group was also instructed to use the RV-HPβCD mouthwash (in spray formulation) once daily, after toothbrushing. All children underwent three oral hygiene motivation sessions, 14 days apart, during which the full-mouth presence of bacterial plaque, gingival inflammation, dental stain and salivary pH were recorded. At two-week appointment, they also received professional plaque removal. The use of RV-based oral spray significantly reduced the amount of dental plaque and the percentage of bleeding sites and improved salivary pH compared to the control group at both two- and four-week examinations. Based on these promising results, the local delivery of RV-HPβCD via oral spray could enhance the control of dental biofilm in early childhood, when antiseptic mouthwashes are not recommended.

Abstract
This study consisted of developing a dressing loaded with silver (Ag) and ibuprofen (IBU) that provides a dual therapy, antibacterial and antalgic, intended for infected painful wounds. Therefore, non-woven polyethyleneterephtalate (PET) textiles nonwovens were pre-treated by cyclodextrin crosslinked with citric acid by a pad/dry/cure process. Then, textiles were impregnated in silver solution followed by a thermal treatment and were then coated by Layer-by-Layer (L-b-L) deposition of a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) system consisting of anionic water-soluble poly(betacyclodextrin citrate) (PCD) and cationic chitosan. Finally, ibuprofen lysinate (IBU-L) was loaded on the PEM coating. We demonstrated the complexation of IBU with native βCD and PCD by phase solubility diagram and 1H NMR. PEM system allowed complete IBU-L release in 6 h in PBS pH 7.4 batch (USP IV). On the other hand, microbiological tests demonstrated that loaded silver induced bacterial reduction of 4 Log10 against S. aureus and E. coli and tests revealed that ibuprofen lysinate loading did not interfere with the antibacterial properties of the dressing.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) is a natural substance extracted from turmeric that has antimicrobial properties. Due to its ability to absorb light in the blue spectrum, CUR is also used as a photosensitizer (PS) in antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT). However, CUR is hydrophobic, unstable in solutions, and has low bioavailability, which hinders its clinical use. To circumvent these drawbacks, drug delivery systems (DDSs) have been used. In this review, we summarize the DDSs used to carry CUR and their antimicrobial effect against viruses, bacteria, and fungi, including drug-resistant strains and emergent pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2. The reviewed DDSs include colloidal (micelles, liposomes, nanoemulsions, cyclodextrins, chitosan, and other polymeric nanoparticles), metallic, and mesoporous particles, as well as graphene, quantum dots, and hybrid nanosystems such as films and hydrogels. Free (non-encapsulated) CUR and CUR loaded in DDSs have a broad-spectrum antimicrobial action when used alone or as a PS in aPDT. They also show low cytotoxicity, in vivo biocompatibility, and improved wound healing. Although there are several in vitro and some in vivo investigations describing the nanotechnological aspects and the potential antimicrobial application of CUR-loaded DDSs, clinical trials are not reported and further studies should translate this evidence to the clinical scenarios of infections.

Abstract
Modification of drug delivery materials with beta-cyclodextrins (β-CyD) is known to increase solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs, protect drugs from degradation and sustain release. In this study, we developed a hydrogel drug delivery system for local paclitaxel delivery using the natural polysaccharide alginate functionalized with β-CyD-moieties. Paclitaxel was chosen due to its ability to form inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins. The rheological and mechanical properties of the prepared hydrogels were characterized, as well as in vitro release of the paclitaxel and in vitro activity on PC-3 prostate cancer cells. Introduction of β-CyD-moieties into the hydrogel reduces the mechanical properties of the gels compared to nonmodified gels. However, gelation kinetics were not markedly different. Furthermore, the β-CyD-modified alginate helped to reduce undesired crystallization of the paclitaxel in the gel and facilitated paclitaxel diffusion out of the gel network. Remarkably, the β-CyD grafted alginate showed increased capacity to complex paclitaxel compared to free HPβ-CyD. Release of both paclitaxel and degradation products were measured from the gels and were shown to have cytotoxic effects on the PC-3 cells. The results indicate that functionalized alginate with β-CyDs has potential as a material for drug delivery systems.

Studying the Complex Formation of Sulfonatocalix[4]naphthalene and Meloxicam towards Enhancing Its Solubility and Dissolution Performance. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13070994. [PMID: 34209201 PMCID: PMC8309163 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13070994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2021] [Revised: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The interaction between meloxicam and sulfonatocalix [4] naphthalene was investigated to improve the meloxicam solubility and its dissolution performance. Solubility behavior was investigated in distilled water (DW) and at different pH conditions. Besides, solid systems were prepared in a 1:1 molar ratio using coevaporate, kneading, and simple physical mixture techniques. Further, they were characterized by PXRD, FT-IR, DCS, and TGA. In vitro dissolution rate for coevaporate, kneaded, and physical mixture powders were also investigated. Solubility study revealed that meloxicam solubility significantly increased about 23.99 folds at phosphate buffer of pH 7.4 in the presence of sulfonatocalix [4] naphthalene. The solubility phase diagram was classified as AL type, indicating the formation of 1:1 stoichiometric inclusion complex. PXRD, FT-IR, DCS, and TGA pointed out the formation of an inclusion complex between meloxicam and sulfonatocalix [4] naphthalene solid powders prepared using coevaporate technique. In addition, in vitro meloxicam dissolution studies revealed an improvement of the drug dissolution rate. Furthermore, a significantly higher drug release (p ≤ 0.05) and a complete dissolution was achieved during the first 10 min compared with the other solid powders and commercial meloxicam product. The coevaporate product has the highest increasing dissolution fold and RDR10 in the investigated media, with average values ranging from 5.4-65.28 folds and 7.3-90.7, respectively. In conclusion, sulfonatocalix [4] naphthalene is a promising host carrier for enhancing the solubility and dissolution performance of meloxicam with an anticipated enhanced bioavailability and fast action for acute and chronic pain disorders.

Role of Calixarene in Chemotherapy Delivery Strategies. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26133963.

Abstract
Since cancer is a multifactorial disease with a high mortality rate, the study of new therapeutic strategies is one of the main objectives in modern research. Numerous chemotherapeutic agents, although widely used, have the disadvantage of being not very soluble in water or selective towards cancerous cells, with consequent side effects. Therefore, in recent years, a greater interest has emerged in innovative drug delivery systems (DDSs) such as calixarene, a third-generation supramolecular compound. Calixarene and its water-soluble derivatives show good biocompatibility and have low cytotoxicity. Thanks to their chemical–physical characteristics, calixarenes can be easily functionalized, and by itself can encapsulate host molecules forming nanostructures capable of releasing drugs in a controlled way. The encapsulation of anticancer drugs in a calixarene derivate improves their bioavailability and efficacy. Thus, the use of calixarenes as carriers of anticancer drugs could reduce their side effects and increase their affinity towards the target. This review summarizes the numerous research advances regarding the development of calixarene nanoparticles capable of encapsulating various anticancer drugs.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) impacts up to 37 million people globally, of which 1.8 million are children. To date, there is no cure for HIV, although treatment options such as antiretroviral therapy (ART) are available. ART, which involves a patient taking a combination of antiretrovirals, is being used to treat HIV clinically. Despite the effectiveness of ART, there is currently no palatable pediatric formulation to treat HIV in children, which has hindered patient compliance and overall treatment efficacy. In addition, anti-HIV therapeutics are often poorly water-soluble, and hence have poor bioavailability. In the present study, we developed a pediatric-friendly formulation for anti-HIV therapeutics with improved dissolution characteristics of the therapeutic agents. Lopinavir (LPV) and ritonavir (RTV), available as FDA-approved fixed-dose combination products, were chosen as model ART drugs, and the formulation and processing parameters of spray-dried cyclodextrin (CD)-based LPV and RTV complexes were studied. Results showed that the spray-dried complexes exhibited enhanced dissolution profiles in comparison to pure drugs, particularly spray-dried β-CD complexes, which showed the most favorable dissolution profiles. This current formulation with enhanced dissolution and taste-masking ability through the use of cyclodextrin has the potential to address the unmet need for the development of suitable pediatric formulations.
