MAGE-Targeted Gold Nanoparticles for Ultrasound Imaging-Guided Phototherapy in Melanoma. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:6863231. [PMID: 33015175 PMCID: PMC7519981 DOI: 10.1155/2020/6863231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2020] [Revised: 08/22/2020] [Accepted: 09/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Gold nanorods exhibit a wide variety of applications such as tumor molecular imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) due to their tunable optical properties. Several studies have demonstrated that the combination of other therapeutic strategies may improve PTT efficiency. A method called optical droplet vaporization (ODV) was considered as another noninvasive imaging and therapy strategy. Via the ODV method, superheated perfluorocarbon droplets can be vaporized to a gas phase for enhancing ultrasound imaging; meanwhile, this violent process can cause damage to cells and tissue. In addition, active targeting through the functionalization with targeting ligands can effectively increase nanoprobe accumulation in the tumor area, improving the sensitivity and specificity of imaging and therapy. Our study prepared a nanoparticle loaded with gold nanorods and perfluorinated hexane and conjugated to a monoclonal antibody (MAGE-1 antibody) to melanoma-associated antigens (MAGE) targeting melanoma, investigated the synergistic effect of PTT/ODV therapy, and monitored the therapeutic effect using ultrasound. The prepared MAGE-Au-PFH-NPs achieved complete eradication of tumors. Meanwhile, the MAGE-Au-PFH-NPs also possess significant ultrasound imaging signal enhancement, which shows the potential for imaging-guided tumor therapy in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to prepare the liver targeting drug delivery system (TDDS) of artesunate (ART)-loaded polyethylene glycol (PEG)-poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) modified by glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), and evaluate its in vitro cytotoxicity. SIGNIFICANCE The GA-PEG-PLGA-ART NPs enhanced the in vitro cytotoxicity on HCC cell lines. The development of GA-PEG-PLGA NPs will greatly push the clinical applications of ART as a novel anticancer drug. METHODS The NPs were prepared using solvent evaporation method, and the formulation was optimized through an orthogonal design. In addition, physical properties were determined, including particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential (ZP), morphology, drug loading capacity (LC) and encapsulation efficiency (EE), and in vitro drug release. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxicity of NPs with three human cancer cell lines viz. HepG2, Hep3B, and SMCC-7721 was conducted using the SRB assay. Additionally, lyophilization was conducted to improve the long-term physical stability. RESULTS The GA-PEG-PLGA-ART NPs have spherical shape, small particle size (around 88 nm) with a narrow size distribution (PDI < 0.3), high drug LC (up to 59.3 ± 1.65%), and high EE (up to 73.13 ± 5.17%). In vitro drug release behavior showed that drugs were released from NPs in a sustained and controlled release pattern. Cytotoxicity study indicated the NPs achieved lower cancer cell survival fraction. The GA-PEG-PLGA NPs freeze-dried with 3% (w/v) of mannitol showed better effect on long-term physical stability. CONCLUSION The GA-PEG-PLGA-ART NPs appear as a potential liver targeted intracellular delivery platform for ART.

Functionalized PLGA nanoparticles prepared by nano-emulsion templating interact selectively with proteins involved in the transport through the blood-brain barrier. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2020; 156:155-164. [PMID: 32927077 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2020.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2020] [Revised: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 09/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
During the last few decades, extensive efforts has been made to design nanocarriers to transport drugs into the central nervous system (CNS). However, its efficacy is limited due to the presence of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) which greatly reduces drug penetration making Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) necessary. Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) have been reported to be appropriate for this purpose and in particular, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been used for its ability to entrap small molecule drugs with great efficiency and the ease with which it functionalizes NPs. Despite the fact that their synthetic identity has been studied in depth, the biological identity of such manufactured polymers still remains unknown as does their biodistribution and in vivo fate. This biological identity is a result of their interaction with blood proteins, the so-called "protein corona" which tends to alter the behavior of polymeric nanoparticles in the body. The aim of the present research is to identify the proteins bounded to polymeric nanoparticles designed to selectively interact with the BBB. For this purpose, four different PLGA NPs were prepared and analyzed: (i) "PLGA@Drug," in which a model drug was encapsulated in its core; (ii) "8D3-PLGA" NPs where the PLGA surface was functionalized with a monoclonal anti-transferrin receptor antibody (8D3 mAb) in order to specifically target the BBB; (iii) "8D3-PLGA@Drug" in which the PLGA@Drug surface was functionalized using the same antibody described above and (iv) bare PLGA NPs which were used as a control. Once the anticipated protein corona NPs were obtained, proteins decorating both bare and functionalized PLGA NPs were isolated and analyzed. Apart from the indistinct interaction with PLGA NPs with the most abundant serum proteins, specific proteins could also be identified in the case of functionalized PLGA NPs. These findings may provide valuable insight into designing novel vehicles based on PLGA NPs for crossing the BBB.

Abstract
Bone defects caused by trauma, tumor resection, congenital malformation and infection are still a major challenge for clinicians. Biomimetic bone materials have attracted more and more attention in science and industry. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) have been increasingly recognized as an inducible factor for osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Spatiotemporal release of insulin may serve as the promising strategy. Considering the successful application of nanoparticles in drug loading, various insulin delivery systems have been developed, including (poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), PLGA), hydroxyapatite (HA), gelatin, chitosan, alginate, and (γ-glutamic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate, γ-PGA/β-TCP). Here, we have reviewed the progress on nanoparticles carrying insulin/IGF for bone regeneration. In addition, the key regulatory mechanism of insulin in bone regeneration is also summarized. The future application strategies and the challenges in bone regeneration are also discussed.

Abstract
Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is one of the dominant bacteria for refractory infections of teeth. Silver ions (Ag+) have been proved to be a strong bactericide but with high cytotoxicity and discoloration property. Simvastatin is an agent used for dyslipidemia treatment and has anti-inflammatory property. In this study, Ag+ and simvastatin were for the first time used in combination, and poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) submicron particles carrying both Ag+ and simvastatin (AgS-PLGA) were fabricated for further investigations. Results confirmed the enhanced antibacterial activity against E. faecalis of Ag+ by simvastatin. AgS-PLGA could release both Ag+ and simvastatin for 24 days and also showed enhanced antibacterial activities. On dentin slices, AgS-PLGA could enter dentinal tubules by ultrasonic activation and inhibit the colonization of E. faecalis. AgS-PLGA showed no cytotoxicity on MC3T3-E1 cells and slight suppressive effect on RAW-264.7 cells, and could reduce the secretion of IL-6 and IL-1β of RAW-264.7 cells. AgS-PLGA could be developed as a new biomaterial for infection and inflammation control for dental and related medical treatments.

Abstract
Polymeric nanocarriers (PNs) have demonstrated to be a promising alternative to treat intracellular infections. They have outstanding performance in delivering antimicrobials intracellularly to reach an adequate dose level and improve their therapeutic efficacy. PNs offer opportunities for preventing unwanted drug interactions and degradation before reaching the target cell of tissue and thus decreasing the development of resistance in microorganisms. The use of PNs has the potential to reduce the dose and adverse side effects, providing better efficiency and effectiveness of therapeutic regimens, especially in drugs having high toxicity, low solubility in the physiological environment and low bioavailability. This review provides an overview of nanoparticles made of different polymeric precursors and the main methodologies to nanofabricate platforms of tuned physicochemical and morphological properties and surface chemistry for controlled release of antimicrobials in the target. It highlights the versatility of these nanosystems and their challenges and opportunities to deliver antimicrobial drugs to treat intracellular infections and mentions nanotoxicology aspects and future outlooks.

Abstract
Most problems associated with chemotherapeutic agents involve non-specific cytotoxicity, low intratumoral accumulation and drug resistance. Targeted drug delivery systems (TDDS) based on nanoparticles (NPs) are a new strategy for better therapeutic efficiency, along with reduction of side effects commonly seen with cancer drugs. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), as one of the furthest developed synthetic polymer, has gained significant attention because of excellent properties-including biodegradability and biocompatibility, controlled release of drug, protection of drug or gene from decomposition and ability to modify surface with targeting agents for both cancer diagnosis and therapy. Aptamers are single-stranded RNA or DNA that can fold through intramolecular interactions into specific three-dimensional structures to selectively and exclusively bind with interested biomarkers. In this review, we explain the latest developments regarding the application of aptamer-decorated PLGA NPs in delivery of therapeutic agents or cancer-related genes into cancer cells. Additionally, we discuss the most recent efforts in the field of aptamer-grafted PLGA-based NPs as theranostics and stimuli-responsive agents.

Abstract
Surface modification of titanium implants by siRNA is quite efficient for improving implant osseointegration. Loading siRNA onto their surface is a crucial factor for siRNA-functionalized implants to realize their biological function. Direct binding of siRNA to implants has low siRNA binding and releasing rate, so usually it needs to be mediated by vectors. Polymeric, nonmaterial-mediated and lipid-based vectors are types of non-viral vectors which are commonly used for delivering siRNA. Three major methods of loading process, namely simple physical adsorption, layer-by-layer assembly and electrodeposition, are also summarized. A brief introduction, the basic principle and the general procedure of each method are included. The loading efficiency, which can be measured both qualitatively and quantitatively, together with gene knockdown efficiency, cytotoxicity assay and osteogenesis of the three methods are compared. A good many applications in osteogenesis have also been described in this review.

Abstract
Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA with 20-100 nucleotides in length that can specifically bind to target molecules via formed three-dimensional structures. These innovative targeting molecules have attracted an increasing interest in the biomedical field. Compared to traditional protein antibodies, aptamers have several advantages, such as small size, high binding affinity, specificity, good biocompatibility, high stability and low immunogenicity, which all contribute to their wide application in the biomedical field. Aptamers can bind to the receptors on the cell membrane and mediate themselves or conjugated nanoparticles to enter into cells. Therefore, aptamers can be served as ideal targeting ligands for drug delivery. Since their excellent properties, different aptamer-mediated drug delivery systems had been developed for cancer therapy. This review provides a brief overview of recent advances in drug delivery systems based on aptamers. The advantages, challenges and future prospectives are also discussed.

Abstract
In this study, poly (d, l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) composite microspheres containing anhydrous reverse micelle (R.M.) dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) nanoparticles loaded vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were produced using microfluidic platforms. The VEGF-loaded R.M. nanoparticles (VRM) were achieved by initial self-assembly and subsequent lipid inversion of the DPPC vesicles. The fabricated VRMs were encapsulated into the PLGA matrix by flow-focusing geometry microfluidic platforms. The encapsulation efficiency, in vitro release profile, and the bioactivity of the produced composite microspheres were investigated. The release study showed that VEGF was slowly released from the PLGA composite microspheres over 28 days with a reduced initial burst (18 ± 4.17% in the first 24 H). The VEGF stability during encapsulation and release period was also investigated, and the results indicated that encapsulated VEGF was well preserved. Also, the bioactivity assay of the PLGA composite microspheres on human umbilical vein endothelial cells was confirmed that the encapsulated VEGF was utterly active. The present monodisperse and controllable VEGF-loaded microspheres with reproducible manner could be widely used in tissue engineering and therapeutic applications.

With continual rapid developments in the biomedical field and understanding of the important mechanisms and pharmacokinetics of biological molecules, controlled drug delivery systems (CDDSs) have been at the forefront over conventional drug delivery systems. Over the past several years, scientists have placed boundless energy and time into exploiting a wide variety of excipients, particularly diverse polymers, both natural and synthetic. More recently, the development of nano polymer blends has achieved noteworthy attention due to their amazing properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and more importantly, their pivotal role in controlled and sustained drug release in vitro and in vivo. These compounds come with a number of effective benefits for improving problems of targeted or controlled drug and gene delivery systems; thus, they have been extensively used in medical and pharmaceutical applications. Additionally, they are quite attractive for wound dressings, textiles, tissue engineering, and biomedical prostheses. In this sense, some important and workable natural polymers (namely, chitosan (CS), starch and cellulose) and some applicable synthetic ones (such as poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly-glycolic acid (PGA)) have played an indispensable role over the last two decades for their therapeutic effects owing to their appealing and renewable biological properties. According to our data, this is the first review article highlighting CDDSs composed of diverse natural and synthetic nano biopolymers, blended for biological purposes, mostly over the past five years; other reviews have just briefly mentioned the use of such blended polymers. We, additionally, try to make comparisons between various nano blending systems in terms of improved sustained and controlled drug release behavior.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most severe disease burdens in modern times, with an estimated increase in the number of patients diagnosed globally from 18.1 million in 2018 to 23.6 million in 2030. Despite a significant progress achieved by conventional therapies, they have limitations and are still far from ideal. Therefore, safe, effective and widely-applicable treatments are urgently needed. Over the past decades, the development of novel delivery approaches based on membrane-core (MC) nanostructures for transporting chemotherapeutics, nucleic acids and immunomodulators has significantly improved anticancer efficacy and reduced side effects. In this review, the formulation strategies based on MC nanostructures for delivery of anticancer drug are described, and recent advances in the application of MC nanoformulations to overcome the delivery hurdles for clinical translation are discussed.

Neuronal mitochondria-targeted delivery of curcumin by biomimetic engineered nanosystems in Alzheimer's disease mice. Acta Biomater 2020; 108:285-299.

Abstract
Biomimetic nanotechnology represents a promising approach for the delivery of therapeutic agents for the treatment of complex diseases. Recently, neuronal mitochondria have been proposed to serve as a promising therapeutic target for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the efficient intravenous delivery of therapeutic agents to neuronal mitochondria in the brain remains a major challenge due to the complicated physiological and pathological environment. Herein, we devised and tested a strategy for functional antioxidant delivery to neuronal mitochondria by loading antioxidants into red blood cell (RBC) membrane-camouflaged human serum albumin nanoparticles bearing T807 and triphenylphosphine (TPP) molecules attached to the RBC membrane surface (T807/TPP-RBC-NPs). With the advantage of the suitable physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles and the unique biological functions of the RBC membrane, the T807/TPP-RBC-NPs are stabilized and promote sustained drug release, providing improved biocompatibility and long-term circulation. Under the synergistic effects of T807 and TPP, T807/TPP-RBC-NPs can not only penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) but also target nerve cells and further localize in the mitochondria. After encapsulating curcumin (CUR) as the model antioxidant, the research data demonstrated that CUR-loaded T807/TPP-RBC-NPs can relieve AD symptoms by mitigating mitochondrial oxidative stress and suppressing neuronal death both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, the intravenous neuronal mitochondria-targeted biomimetic engineered delivery nanosystems provides an effective drug delivery platform for brain diseases. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The efficient intravenous delivery of therapeutic agents to neuronal mitochondria in the brain remains a major challenge for drug delivery due to the complicated physiological and pathological environment. To address this need, various types of nanovessels have been fabricated using a variety of materials in the last few decades. However, problems with the synthetic materials still exist and even cause toxicology issues. New findings in nanomedicine are promoting the development of biomaterials. Herein, we designed a red blood cell (RBC) membrane-coated human serum albumin nanoparticle dual-modified with T807 and TPP (T807/TPP-RBC-NPs) to accomplish these objectives. After encapsulating curcumin as the model drug, the research data demonstrated that the intravenous neuronal mitochondria-targeted biomimetic engineered delivery nanosystems are a promising therapeutic candidate for mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Abstract
Viscoelastic blends of biodegradable polyesters with low and high molecular weight distributions have remarkably strong adhesion (significantly greater than 1 N/cm2) to soft, wet tissue. Those that transition from viscous flow to elastic, solidlike behavior at approximately 1 Hz demonstrate pressure-sensitivity yet also have sufficient elasticity for durable bonding to soft, wet tissue. The pressure-sensitive tissue adhesive (PSTA) blends produce increasingly stronger pull-apart adhesion in response to compressive pressure application, from 10 to 300 s. By incorporating a stiffer high molecular weight component, the PSTA exhibits dramatically improved burst pressure (greater than 100 kPa) when used as a tissue sealant. The PSTA's biodegradation mechanism can be switched from erosion (occurring primarily over the first 10 days) to bulk chemical degradation (and minimal erosion) depending on the chemistry of the high molecular weight component. Interestingly, fibrosis toward the PSTA is reduced when fast-occurring erosion is the dominant biodegradation mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanomedicine is a field of science that uses nanoscale materials for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. It has emerged as an important aspect of the therapeutics, but at the same time, also raises concerns regarding the safety of the nanomaterials involved. Recent applications of functionalized biodegradable nanomaterials have significantly improved the safety profile of nanomedicine. OBJECTIVE Our goal is to evaluate different types of biodegradable nanomaterials that have been functionalized for their biomedical applications. METHOD In this review, we used PubMed as our literature source and selected recently published studies on biodegradable nanomaterials and their applications in nanomedicine. RESULTS We found that biodegradable polymers are commonly functionalized for various purposes. Their property of being naturally degraded under biological conditions allows these biodegradable nanomaterials to be used for many biomedical purposes, including bio-imaging, targeted drug delivery, implantation and tissue engineering. The degradability of these nanoparticles can be utilized to control cargo release, by allowing efficient degradation of the nanomaterials at the target site while maintaining nanoparticle integrity at off-target sites. CONCLUSION While each biodegradable nanomaterial has its advantages and disadvantages, with careful design and functionalization, biodegradable nanoparticles hold great future in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a versatile synthetic copolymer that is widely used in pharmaceutical applications. This is because it is well-tolerated in the body, and copolymers of varying physicochemical properties are readily available via ring-opening polymerization. However, native PLGA polymers are hard to track as drug delivery carriers when delivered to subcellular spaces, due to the absence of an easily accessible "handle" for fluorescent labeling. Here we show a one-step, scalable, solvent-free, synthetic route to fluorescent blue (2-aminoanthracene), green (5-aminofluorescein), and red (rhodamine-6G) PLGA, in which every polymer chain in the sample is fluorescently labeled. The utility of initiator-labeled PLGA was demonstrated through the preparation of nanoparticles, capable of therapeutic subcellular delivery to T-helper-precursor-1 (THP-1) macrophages, a model cell line for determining in vitro biocompatibility and particle uptake. Super resolution confocal fluorescence microscopy imaging showed that dye-initiated PLGA nanoparticles were internalized to punctate regions and retained bright fluorescence over at least 24 h. In comparison, PLGA nanoparticles with 5-aminofluorescein introduced by conventional nanoprecipitation/encapsulation showed diffuse and much lower fluorescence intensity in the same cells and over the same time periods. The utility of this approach for in vitro drug delivery experiments was demonstrated through the concurrent imaging of the fluorescent drug doxorubicin (λex = 480 nm, λem = 590 nm) with carrier 5-aminofluorescein PLGA, also in THP-1 cells, in which the intracellular locations of the drug and the polymer could be clearly visualized. Finally, the dye-labeled particles were evaluated in an in vivo model, via delivery to the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with bright fluorescence again apparent in the internal tract after 3 h. The results presented in this manuscript highlight the ease of synthesis of highly fluorescent PLGA, which could be used to augment tracking of future therapeutics and accelerate in vitro and in vivo characterization of delivery systems prior to clinical translation.

Abstract
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), including c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), play important role in the regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and signaling cascades. Therefore, JNKs are key targets for the treatment of cytokine/JNK-driven diseases. Herein, we developed electrospray poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles doped with novel JNK inhibitor 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one oxime (IQ-1). Optimized electrospray parameters allowed us to produce IQ-1-doped microparticles with round shape, smooth and non-porous surface, and mean diameter of 0.9-1.3 μm. We have shown that IQ-1 was well integrated into the polymer matrix and had a prolonged release in two steps via non-Fickian release. The fabricated particles doped with IQ-1 exhibited anti-inflammatory effects, as indicated by inhibited neutrophil activation and cytokine secretion by human monocytic MonoMac-6 cells. Overall, our study demonstrates that PLGA microparticles doped with a novel JNK inhibitor (IQ-1) could be a promising delivery system for treatment of JNK-mediated diseases.

Abstract
Complexation with cyclodextrins (CDs) has been widely and successfully used in pharmaceutical field, mainly for enhancing solubility, stability and bioavailability of a variety of drugs. However, some important drawbacks, including rapid removal from the bloodstream after in vivo administration, or possible replacement, in biological media, of the entrapped drug moieties by other molecules with higher affinity for the CD cavity, can limit the CDs effectiveness as drug carriers. This review is focused on combined strategies simultaneously exploiting CD complexation, and loading of the complexed drug into various colloidal carriers (liposomes, niosomes, polymeric nanoparticles, lipid nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, micelles) which have been investigated as a possible means for circumventing the problems associated with both such carriers, when used separately, and join their relative benefits in a unique delivery system. Several examples of applications have been reported, to illustrate the possible advantages achievable by such a dual strategy, depending on the CD-nanocarrier combination, and mainly resulting in enhanced performance of the delivery system and improved biopharmaceutical properties and therapeutic efficacy of drugs. The major problems and/or drawbacks found in the development of such systems, as well as the (rare) case of failures in achieving the expected improvements have also been highlighted.

Abstract
Routes of drug administration and their corresponding physiochemical characteristics play major roles in drug therapeutic efficiency and biological effects. Each route of delivery has favourable aspects and limitations. The oral route of delivery is the most convenient, widely accepted and safe route. However, the oral route of chemotherapeutics to date have displayed high gastric degradation, low aqueous solubility, poor formulation stability and minimum intestinal absorption. Thus, mainstream anti-cancer drugs in current formulations are not suitable as oral chemotherapeutic formulations. The use of biopolymers such as chitosan, gelatin, hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid, for the synthesis of oral delivery platforms, have potential to help overcome problems associated with oral delivery of chemotherapeutics. Biopolymers have favourable stimuli-responsive properties, and thus can be used to improve oral bioavailability of anti-cancer drugs. These biopolymeric formulations can protect gastric-sensitive drugs from pH degradation, target specific binding sites for targeted absorption and consequently control drug release. In this review, the use of various biopolymers as oral drug delivery systems for chemotherapeutics will be discussed.

Abstract
Polymeric biomaterials have found widespread applications in nanomedicine, and poly(lactide-co-glycolide), (PLGA) in particular has been successfully implemented in numerous drug delivery formulations due to its synthetic malleability and biocompatibility. However, the need for preconception in these formulations is increasing, and this can be achieved by selection and elimination of design variables in order for these systems to be tailored for their specific applications. The starting materials and preparation methods have been shown to influence various parameters of PLGA-based nanocarriers and their implementation in drug delivery systems, while the implementation of computational simulations as a component of formulation studies can provide valuable information on their characteristics. This review provides a critical summary of the synthesis and applications of PLGA-based systems in bio-medicine and outlines experimental and computational design considerations of these systems.

Abstract
In this study, we explored the release characteristics of analgesics, namely levobupivacaine, lidocaine, and acemetacin, from electrosprayed poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microparticles. The drug-loaded particles were prepared using electrospraying techniques and evaluated for their morphology, drug release kinetics, and pain relief activity. The morphology of the produced microparticles elucidated by scanning electron microscopy revealed that the optimal parameters for electrospraying were 9 kV, 1 mL/h, and 10 cm for voltage, flow rate, and travel distance, respectively. Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry indicated that the analgesics had been successfully incorporated into the PLGA microparticles. The analgesic-loaded microparticles possessed low toxicity against human fibroblasts and were able to sustainably elute levobupivacaine, lidocaine, and acemetacin in vitro. Furthermore, electrosprayed microparticles were found to release high levels of lidocaine and acemetacin (well over the minimum therapeutic concentrations) and levobupivacaine at the fracture site of rats for more than 28 days and 12 days, respectively. Analgesic-loaded microparticles demonstrated their effectiveness and sustained performance for pain relief in fracture injuries.

Local delivery of minocycline-loaded PLGA nanoparticles from gelatin-coated neural implants attenuates acute brain tissue responses in mice. J Nanobiotechnology 2020; 18:27. [PMID: 32024534 PMCID: PMC7003334 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-020-0585-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2019] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neural interfaces often elicit inflammatory responses and neuronal loss in the surrounding tissue which adversely affect the function and longevity of the implanted device. Minocycline, an anti-inflammatory pharmaceutics with neuroprotective properties, may be used for reducing the acute brain tissue responses after implantation. However, conventional administration routes require high doses which can cause adverse systemic side effects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a new drug-delivery-system for local and sustained administration of minocycline in the brain. METHODS Stainless steel needles insulated with Parylene-C were dip-coated with non-crosslinked gelatin and minocycline-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (MC-NPs) were incorporated into the gelatin-coatings by an absorption method and subsequently trapped by drying the gelatin. Parylene-C insulated needles coated only with gelatin were used as controls. The expression of markers for activated microglia (CD68), all microglia (CX3CR1-GFP), reactive astrocytes (GFAP), neurons (NeuN) and all cell nuclei (DAPI) surrounding the implantation sites were quantified at 3 and 7 days after implantation in mice. RESULTS MC-NPs were successfully incorporated into gelatin-coatings of neural implants by an absorption method suitable for thermosensitive drug-loads. Immunohistochemical analysis of the in vivo brain tissue responses, showed that MC-NPs significantly attenuate the activation of microglial cells without effecting the overall population of microglial cells around the implantation sites. A delayed but significant reduction of the astrocytic response was also found in comparison to control implants. No effect on neurons or total cell count was found which may suggest that the MC-NPs are non-toxic to the central nervous system. CONCLUSIONS A novel drug-nanoparticle-delivery-system was developed for neural interfaces and thermosensitive drug-loads. The local delivery of MC-NPs was shown to attenuate the acute brain tissue responses nearby an implant and therefore may be useful for improving biocompatibility of implanted neuro-electronic interfaces. The developed drug-delivery-system may potentially also be used for other pharmaceutics to provide highly localized and therefore more specific effects as compared to systemic administration.

Abstract
Among the different synthetic polymers developed for biomedical applications, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has attracted considerable attention because of its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Nanocomposites based on PLGA and metal-based nanostructures (MNSs) have been employed extensively as an efficient strategy to improve the structural and functional properties of PLGA polymer. The MNSs have been used to impart new properties to PLGA, such as antimicrobial properties and labeling. In the present review, the different strategies available for the fabrication of MNS/PLGA nanocomposites and their applications in the biomedical field will be discussed, beginning with a description of the preparation routes, antimicrobial activity, and cytotoxicity concerns of MNS/PLGA nanocomposites. The biomedical applications of these nanocomposites, such as carriers and scaffolds in tissue regeneration and other therapies are subsequently reviewed. In addition, the potential advantages of using MNS/PLGA nanocomposites in treatment illnesses are analyzed based on in vitro and in vivo studies, to support the potential of these nanocomposites in future research in the biomedical field.

Abstract
The nervous system is known as a crucial part of the body and derangement in this system can cause potentially lethal consequences or serious side effects. Unfortunately, the nervous system is unable to rehabilitate damaged regions following seriously debilitating disorders such as stroke, spinal cord injury and brain trauma which, in turn, lead to the reduction of quality of life for the patient. Major challenges in restoring the damaged nervous system are low regenerative capacity and the complexity of physiology system. Synthetic polymeric biomaterials with outstanding properties such as excellent biocompatibility and non-immunogenicity find a wide range of applications in biomedical fields especially neural implants and nerve tissue engineering scaffolds. Despite these advancements, tailoring polymeric biomaterials for design of a desired scaffold is fundamental issue that needs tremendous attention to promote the therapeutic benefits and minimize adverse effects. This review aims to (i) describe the nervous system and related injuries. Then, (ii) nerve tissue engineering strategies are discussed and (iii) physiochemical properties of synthetic polymeric biomaterials systematically highlighted. Moreover, tailoring synthetic polymeric biomaterials for nerve tissue engineering is reviewed.

Abstract
Oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family have been introduced into the clinic to treat human malignancies for decades. Despite superior properties of EGFR-TKIs as small molecule targeted drugs, their applications are still restricted due to their low solubility, capricious oral bioavailability, large requirement of daily dose, high binding tendency to plasma albumin and initial/acquired drug resistance. Nanotechnology is a promising tool to improve efficacy of these drugs. Through non-oral routes. Various nanotechnology-based delivery approaches have been developed for providing efficient delivery of EGFR-TKIs with a better pharmacokinetic profile and tissue-targeting ability. This review aims to indicate the advantage of nanocarriers for EGFR-TKIs delivery.

Abstract
The encapsulation of drugs in nanoparticles serves as an effective way to modify pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy. Nanoparticles comprised of poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) are well suited for this purpose; they are accessible using multiple synthesis methods, are highly biocompatible and biodegradable, and possess desirable drug release properties. In the present study, we have explored the effects of various formulation parameters on the physical properties of PLGA nanoparticles synthesised using a microfluidic assisted nanoprecipitation method and loaded with a model drug. PLGA nanoparticles, with diameters ranging from 165–364nm, were produced using three alternate stabilisers; poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS), and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DMAB). Three additional formulations used PVA in addition to 20wt-% 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP), 1,2-di-O-octadecenyl-3-trimethylammonium propane (DOTMA), and oleic acid. Spectrophotometric analysis demonstrated that the use of PVA increased the loading efficiency over that of TPGS and DMAB formulations, while the inclusion of oleic acid in the PVA formulation resulted in a further 3-fold increase in loading efficiency. Invitro release studies demonstrate that the inclusion of lipid additives significantly alters release kinetics; release was most rapid and complete in the formulation containing oleic acid, while the addition of DOTAP and DOTMA significantly reduced release rates. Finally, the antimicrobial activity of each formulation was tested against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus, with minimum inhibitory concentrations nearing or exceeding that of free rifampicin.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Growth factor therapy has emerged as novel therapeutic strategy under investigation for CVD. In this sense, adrenomedullin-2 (ADM-2) has been recently identified as a new angiogenic factor able to regulate the regional blood flow and cardiovascular function. However, the therapeutic value of ADM-2 is limited by its short biological half-life and low plasma stability. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) micro- and nanoparticles have been investigated as growth factor delivery systems for cardiac repair. In this study, we aimed to develop PLGA nanoparticles containing ADM-2 intended for therapeutic angiogenesis. PLGA nanoparticles containing ADM-2 were prepared by a double emulsion modified method, resulting in 300 nm-sized stable particles with zeta potential around - 30 mV. Electron microscopy analysis by SEM and TEM revealed spherical particles with a smooth surface. High encapsulation efficiency was reached (ca.70%), as quantified by ELISA. ADM-2 associated to polymer nanoparticles was also determined by EDS elemental composition analysis, SDS-PAGE and LC-MS/MS for peptide identification. In vitro release assays showed the sustained release of ADM-2 from polymer nanoparticles for 21 days. Cell viability experiments were performed in J774 macrophages and H9c2 cardiomyocyte cells, about which PLGA nanoparticles loaded with ADM-2 did not cause toxicity in the range 0.01-1 mg/ml. Of note, encapsulated ADM-2 significantly induced cell proliferation in EA.hy926 endothelial cells, indicating the ADM-2 bioactivity was preserved after the encapsulation process. Collectively, these results demonstrate the feasibility of using PLGA nanoparticles as delivery systems for the angiogenic peptide ADM-2, which could represent a novel approach for therapeutic angiogenesis in CVD using growth factor therapy.

Developing multifunctional and biocompatible drug delivery nanoplatforms that integrate high drug loads and multiple imaging modalities avoiding cross-interferences is extremely challenging. Here we report on the successful chemical reaction of the high quantum yield biodegradable and photoluminescent polyester (BPLP) with the poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymer to fabricate biocompatible photoluminescent nanocapsules (NCs). Furthermore, we transform the PLGA-BPLP NCs into a magnetic resonance (MR)/photoluminescence dual-modal imaging theranostic platform by incorporating superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) into the polymeric shell. In vitro phantoms confirmed the excellent MRI-r2 relaxivity values of the NCs whilst the cellular uptake of these NCs was clearly observed by fluorescence optical imaging. Besides, the NCs (mean size ~270 nm) were loaded with ~1 wt% of a model protein (BSA) and their PEGylation provided a more hydrophilic surface. The NCs show biocompatibility in vitro, as hCMEC/D3 endothelial cells viability was not affected for particle concentration up to 500 μg/mL. Interestingly, NCs decorated with SPIONs can be exploited for magnetic guiding and retention.

Int J Nanomedicine 2019; 14:9535-9546. [PMID: 31824149 PMCID: PMC6900274 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s228652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2019] [Accepted: 11/19/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Glucose decorated PLGA and chitosan nanoparticles (GPNPs and GCNPs) have been developed to examine the possibility of preventing the facilitated glucose transport to the cells through blocking the glucose transporters (Gluts) overexpressed by tumor cells. METHODS The MTT assay was used to assess the cytotoxicity towards human colon tumor (HT-29) cells in 72 hrs. Fluorescence microscopy was employed to confirm the attachment of GPNPs to the cells. Moreover, the GPNPs effects on the apoptotic rate of HT-29 cells were analyzed. Finally, the expression levels of GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were assayed to investigate the response of HT-29 cells to blocking their Gluts by GPNPs. RESULTS The stability studies showed that the synthesized complexes were mostly stable (more than 80%) at various temperatures (4 to 40ºC) and pH (5.4 to 7.4) conditions. Results indicated that the survival rate of the cells was decreased to 43% and 46% after treatment with GCNPs and GPNPs, respectively. Also, the apoptosis assay results showed that the percentage of viable cells reduced to 47% after GPNPs treatment. These observations were justified by the specific interactions between the glucose terminals and the cells Gluts which resulted in blocking the entries of nutrients to the cells. It was revealed that the GLUT-1 mRNA expression after the first 24 h of treatment by GPNPs was upregulated to more than 145%, while the direction was reversed after 72 h (expression less than 45%), which coincided with the cells death. In the first 24 h, the glucose deprivation stimulated the expression of Glut-1 while the apoptotic enzymes expression was dominant at the end of 72 h treatment time. CONCLUSION Finally, it can be concluded that the glucose-nanoparticle complexes could be considered as promising agents in cancer therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Conventional chemotherapy is hampered by the presence of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). It is crucial to eradicating both the bulky breast cancer cells and BCSCs, using a combination of conventional chemotherapy and anti-CSCs drugs. However, the synergistic ratio of drug combinations cannot be easily maintained in vivo. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that the simultaneous delivery of two drugs via nanoliposomes could maintain the synergistic drug ratio for 12 h in vivo. However, nanoliposomes have the disadvantage of quick drug release, which makes it difficult to maintain the synergistic drug ratio for a long time. Herein, we developed a co-delivery system for docetaxel (DTX)-a first-line chemotherapy drug for breast cancer-and salinomycin (SAL)-an anti-BCSCs drug-in rigid nanoparticles constituted of polylactide-co-glycolide/D-alpha-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (PLGA/TPGS). METHODS Nanoparticles loaded with SAL and DTX at the optimized ratio (NSD) were prepared by the nanoprecipitation method. The characterization, cellular uptake, and cytotoxicity of nanoparticles were investigated in vitro, and the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, antitumor and anti-CSCs activity of nanoparticles were evaluated in vivo. RESULTS We demonstrated that a SAL/DTX molar ratio of 1:1 was synergistic in MCF-7 cells and MCF-7-MS. Moreover, the enhanced internalization of nanoparticles was observed in MCF-7 cells and MCF-7-MS. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of NSD against both MCF-7 cells and MCF-7-MS was stronger than the cytotoxicity of any single treatment in vitro. Significantly, NSD could prolong the circulation time and maintain the synergistic ratio of SAL to DTX in vivo for 24 h, thus exhibiting superior tumor targeting and anti-tumor activity compared to other treatments. CONCLUSION Co-encapsulation of SAL and DTX in PLGA/TPGS nanoparticles could maintain the synergistic ratio of drugs in vivo in a better manner; thus, providing a promising strategy for synergistic inhibition of breast cancer.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are able to deliver a variety of substances into eukaryotic cells. However, their usage is often hampered by a lack of specificity, leading to the undesired uptake of NPs by virtually all cell types. In contrast to this, yeast is known to be specifically taken up into immune cells after entering the body. Therefore, we investigated the interaction of biodegradable surface-modified poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) particles with yeast cells to overcome the unspecificity of the particulate carriers. Cells of different Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were characterized regarding their interaction with PLGA-NPs under isotonic and hypotonic conditions. The particles were shown to efficiently interact with yeast cells leading to stable NP/yeast-complexes allowing to associate or even internalize compounds. Notably, applying those complexes to a coculture model of HeLa cells and macrophages, the macrophages were specifically targeted. This novel nano-in-micro carrier system suggests itself as a promising tool for the delivery of biologically active agents into phagocytic cells combining specificity and efficiency.

Abstract
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) induced skin infections have become a challenging problem due to the escalating antibiotic resistance. Carvacrol (CAR) has been reported to be effective against MRSA. However, due to its characteristics, CAR exhibits low skin retention. In this study, CAR was formulated into site-specific nanoparticle (NPs) delivery system using poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), following incorporation into a hydrogel matrix to facilitate dermal delivery. The release study exhibited significantly higher release of CAR from PCL NPs in the presence of bacterial lipase, highlighting its potential for differential delivery. Moreover, encapsulation of CAR in PCL NPs resulted in a two-fold increase in its anti-MRSA activity. Dermatokinetic studies revealed that the NPs loaded hydrogel was able to enhance skin retention of CAR after 24 h (83.29 ± 3.15%), compared to free CAR-loaded hydrogel (0.85 ± 0.14%). Importantly, this novel approach exhibited effective antimicrobial activity in an ex-vivo skin infection model. Hence, these findings have proven the concept that the loading of CAR into a responsive NPs system can lead to sustained antimicrobial effect at the desired site, and may provide a novel effective approach for treatment of MRSA induced skin infections. However, further studies must be conducted to investigate in-vivo efficacy of the developed system in an appropriate infection model.

BEILSTEIN JOURNAL OF NANOTECHNOLOGY 2019; 10:2062-2072.

Abstract
Background: Nanoparticles are under investigation as carrier systems for anticancer drugs. The expression of efflux transporters such as the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCB1 is an important resistance mechanism in therapy-refractory cancer cells. Drug encapsulation into nanoparticles has been shown to bypass efflux-mediated drug resistance, but there are also conflicting results. To investigate whether easy-to-prepare nanoparticles made of well-tolerated polymers may circumvent transporter-mediated drug efflux, we prepared poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), polylactic acid (PLA), and PEGylated PLGA (PLGA-PEG) nanoparticles loaded with the ABCB1 substrate doxorubicin by solvent displacement and emulsion diffusion approaches and assessed their anticancer efficiency in neuroblastoma cells, including ABCB1-expressing cell lines, in comparison to doxorubicin solution. Results: The resulting nanoparticles covered a size range between 73 and 246 nm. PLGA-PEG nanoparticle preparation by solvent displacement led to the smallest nanoparticles. In PLGA nanoparticles, the drug load could be optimised using solvent displacement at pH 7 reaching 53 µg doxorubicin/mg nanoparticle. These PLGA nanoparticles displayed sustained doxorubicin release kinetics compared to the more burst-like kinetics of the other preparations. In neuroblastoma cells, doxorubicin-loaded PLGA-PEG nanoparticles (presumably due to their small size) and PLGA nanoparticles prepared by solvent displacement at pH 7 (presumably due to their high drug load and superior drug release kinetics) exerted the strongest anticancer effects. However, nanoparticle-encapsulated doxorubicin did not display increased efficacy in ABCB1-expressing cells relative to doxorubicin solution. Conclusion: Doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticles made by different methods from different materials displayed substantial discrepancies in their anticancer activity at the cellular level. Optimised preparation methods resulted in PLGA nanoparticles characterised by increased drug load, controlled drug release, and high anticancer efficacy. The design of drug-loaded nanoparticles with optimised anticancer activity at the cellular level is an important step in the development of improved nanoparticle preparations for anticancer therapy. Further research is required to understand under which circumstances nanoparticles can be used to overcome efflux-mediated resistance in cancer cells.

Abstract
The effective delivery of drugs to the eye remains a challenge. The eye has a myriad of defense systems and physiological barriers that leaves ocular drug delivery systems with low bioavailability profiles. This is mainly due to poor permeability through the epithelia and rapid clearance from the eye following administration. However, recent advances in both polymeric drug delivery and biomedical nanotechnology have allowed for improvements to be made in the treatment of ocular conditions. The employment of biodegradable polymers in ocular formulations has led to improved retention time, greater bioavailability and controlled release through mucoadhesion to the epithelia in the eye, amongst other beneficial properties. Nanotechnology has been largely investigated for uses in the medical field, ranging from diagnosis of disease to treatment. The nanoscale of these developing drug delivery systems has helped to improve the penetration of drugs through the various ocular barriers, thus improving bioavailability. This review will highlight the physiological barriers encountered in the eye, current conventional treatment methods as well as how polymeric drug delivery and nanotechnology can be employed to optimize drug penetration to both the anterior and posterior segment of the eye.

Abstract
We report on the synthesis and evaluation of biopolymeric spheres of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) containing different amounts of magnetite nanoparticles and Ibuprofen (PLGA-Fe3O4-IBUP), but also chitosan (PLGA-CS-Fe3O4-IBUP), to be considered as drug delivery systems. Besides morphological, structural, and compositional characterizations, the PLGA-Fe3O4-IBUP composite microspheres were subjected to drug release studies, performed both under biomimetically-simulated dynamic conditions and under external radiofrequency magnetic fields. The experimental data resulted by performing the drug release studies evidenced that PLGA-Fe3O4-IBUP microspheres with the lowest contents of Fe3O4 nanoparticles are optimal candidates for triggered drug release under external stimulation related to hyperthermia effect. The as-selected microspheres and their chitosan-containing counterparts were biologically assessed on macrophage cultures, being evaluated as biocompatible and bioactive materials that are able to promote cellular adhesion and proliferation. The composite biopolymeric spheres resulted in inhibited microbial growth and biofilm formation, as assessed against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans microbial strains. Significantly improved antimicrobial effects were reported in the case of chitosan-containing biomaterials, regardless of the microorganisms' type. The nanostructured composite biopolymeric spheres evidenced proper characteristics as prolonged and controlled drug release platforms for multipurpose biomedical applications.

Abstract
To enhance the bioavailability of protein therapeutants and improve the stability of storage and delivery, a series of branched amphiphilic block copolymers consisting of cholic acid (CA) initiated poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (CA-PLGA) and water-soluble polyethyleneimine cross-linked polyethylene glycol (PEI-PEG) denoted as CA-PLGA-b-(PEI-PEG) were synthesized and characterized. CA-PLGA-b-(PEI-PEG) presented low cytotoxicity by MTT and cck-8 assay. The cationic CA-PLGA-b-(PEI-PEG) micelles (diameter about 100 nm and zeta potential 34-61 mV) were prepared through self-assembly method, and complexed with insulin via electrostatic interaction to obtain nanoscale micelle/insulin complexes. The micelle/insulin complexes-loaded CA-PLGA microspheres (MIC-MS, 10.4 ± 3.85 μm) were manufactured by employing a double emulsion (W1/O/W2) method. The in vitro insulin release behavior and in vivo hypoglycaemic effect of MIC-MS on streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats were compared with those of the insulin-loaded CA-PLGA microspheres (INS-MS, 7.8 ± 2.57 μm). The initial burst in vitro release of MIC-MS was markedly lower than that of INS-MS (P < 0.01), and the pharmacological availability of MIC-MS via subcutaneous administration was 148.9% relative to INS-MS. Therefore, the cationic CA-PLGA-b-(PEI-PEG) micelles can effectively increase the bioavailability of insulin in CA-PLGA microspheres and can be considered as a potential protein carrier.

Formulation, Colloidal Characterization, and In Vitro Biological Effect of BMP-2 Loaded PLGA Nanoparticles for Bone Regeneration. Pharmaceutics 2019; 11:pharmaceutics11080388. [PMID: 31382552 PMCID: PMC6723283 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics11080388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2019] [Revised: 07/15/2019] [Accepted: 07/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) based on the polymer poly (lactide-co-glycolide) acid (PLGA) have been widely studied in developing delivery systems for drugs and therapeutic biomolecules, due to the biocompatible and biodegradable properties of the PLGA. In this work, a synthesis method for bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2)-loaded PLGA NPs was developed and optimized, in order to carry out and control the release of BMP-2, based on the double-emulsion (water/oil/water, W/O/W) solvent evaporation technique. The polymeric surfactant Pluronic F68 was used in the synthesis procedure, as it is known to have an effect on the reduction of the size of the NPs, the enhancement of their stability, and the protection of the encapsulated biomolecule. Spherical solid polymeric NPs were synthesized, showing a reproducible multimodal size distribution, with diameters between 100 and 500 nm. This size range appears to allow the protein to act on the cell surface and at the cytoplasm level. The effect of carrying BMP-2 co-adsorbed with bovine serum albumin on the NP surface was analyzed. The colloidal properties of these systems (morphology by SEM, hydrodynamic size, electrophoretic mobility, temporal stability, protein encapsulation, and short-term release profile) were studied. The effect of both BMP2-loaded NPs on the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells from human alveolar bone (ABSC) was also analyzed in vitro.

Abstract
Background:
The poor oral bioavailability of newly discovered chemical entities and marketed
formulations are usually related to poor aqueous solubility or poor permeability, leading to drug
failure in the development phases or therapeutic failure in a clinical setting. However, advancement in
drug formulations and delivery technologies have enabled scientists to improve the bioavailability of
formulations by enhancing solubility or permeability.
Objective:
This study reports the enhancement of the oral bioavailability of ibrutinib (IBR), a poorly
soluble anticancer drug in Wistar albino rats.
Methods:
IBR loaded nanoparticles were formulated through the nanoprecipitation method by utilizing
poly lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) as a safe, biodegradable and biocompatible polymer, and poloxamer
or pluronic 127 as a stabilizer. Animals were administered with a dose of 10 mg/kg of IBR suspension
or an equivalent amount of IBR loaded nanoparticles. Plasma samples were extracted and analyzed by
state of the art UPLC-MS/MS technique. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters and bioavailability were
calculated by non-compartmental analysis.
Results:
There was an approximately 4.2-fold enhancement in the oral bioavailability of IBR-loaded
nanoparticles, as compared to the pure IBR suspension. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax;
574.31 ± 56.20 Vs 146.34 ± 5.37 ng/mL) and exposure (AUC; 2291.65 ± 263.83 vs 544.75 ± 48.33 ng*
h/mL) of IBR loaded nanoparticles were significantly higher than those exhibited through pure IBR
suspension.
Conclusion:
The outcomes of the present study suggested the potential of PLGA nanoparticles in the
enhancement of bioavailability and the therapeutic efficacy of IBR.
