Sahoo P. Complementary supramolecular drug associates in perfecting the multidrug therapy against multidrug resistant bacteria. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1352483.

Abstract
The inappropriate and inconsistent use of antibiotics in combating multidrug-resistant bacteria exacerbates their drug resistance through a few distinct pathways. Firstly, these bacteria can accumulate multiple genes, each conferring resistance to a specific drug, within a single cell. This accumulation usually takes place on resistance plasmids (R). Secondly, multidrug resistance can arise from the heightened expression of genes encoding multidrug efflux pumps, which expel a broad spectrum of drugs from the bacterial cells. Additionally, bacteria can also eliminate or destroy antibiotic molecules by modifying enzymes or cell walls and removing porins. A significant limitation of traditional multidrug therapy lies in its inability to guarantee the simultaneous delivery of various drug molecules to a specific bacterial cell, thereby fostering incremental drug resistance in either of these paths. Consequently, this approach prolongs the treatment duration. Rather than using a biologically unimportant coformer in forming cocrystals, another drug molecule can be selected either for protecting another drug molecule or, can be selected for its complementary activities to kill a bacteria cell synergistically. The development of a multidrug cocrystal not only improves tabletability and plasticity but also enables the simultaneous delivery of multiple drugs to a specific bacterial cell, philosophically perfecting multidrug therapy. By adhering to the fundamental tenets of multidrug therapy, the synergistic effects of these drug molecules can effectively eradicate bacteria, even before they have the chance to develop resistance. This approach has the potential to shorten treatment periods, reduce costs, and mitigate drug resistance. Herein, four hypotheses are presented to create complementary drug cocrystals capable of simultaneously reaching bacterial cells, effectively destroying them before multidrug resistance can develop. The ongoing surge in the development of novel drugs provides another opportunity in the fight against bacteria that are constantly gaining resistance to existing treatments. This endeavour holds the potential to combat a wide array of multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
A well-known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), flurbiprofen (FLR), was first conjugated individually with two naturally occurring amino acids such as L-phenylalanine (PHE) and L-alanine (ALA). These covalent amidic bioconjugates were further reacted individually with mafenide (a drug for treating burn wounds) and amantadine (an antiviral drug) to develop primary ammonium monocarboxylate (PAM) salts. Interestingly, both the PHE-containing multidrug salts exhibited significant gelation ability with various solvents including biologically potent water or methyl salicylate (MS). The isolated hydrogel (HG) as well as all the organogels obtained from multidrug gelators were extensively characterized by dynamic rheology and rheoreversibility studies. The hydrogel of FLR·PHE·MAF and MS gels of FLR·PHE·AMN/FLR·AMN were also selectively characterized by table-top and FEG-TEM analyses. The temperature-dependent 1H-NMR spectroscopy of the selected HG further provided insights into the gelation mechanism and the only isolated single-crystal of the weakly diffracted gelator FLR·AMN also revealed the presence of 1D hydrogen-bonded networks. The pure hydrogelator FLR·PHE·MAF salt (which is also an ambidextrous gelator) was found to be promising in both mechanical (rheoreversible) and biological applications and was found to be effective in cytotoxicity, biocompatibility, anti-cancer activity (MTT and cell migration assay), antibacterial response (zone inhibition, turbidity, INT, and resazurin assay) and haemolysis studies.

Abstract
Supramolecules-based drug delivery has attracted significant recent research attention as it could enhance drug solubility, retention time, targeting, and stimuli responsiveness. Among the different supramolecules and assemblies, the macrocycles and the supramolecular hydrogels are the two important categories investigated to a greater extent. Here, we provide the most recent advancements in these categories. Under macrocycles, reports on drug delivery by cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils, calixarenes/pillararenes, crown ethers and porphyrins are detailed. The second category discusses the supramolecular hydrogels of macrocycles/polymers and low molecular weight gelators. The updated information provided could be helpful to advance R & D in this vital area.

Abstract
Following a structural rationale, a series of simple organic salts derived from mafenide (a drug for treating burn wounds) and n-alkyl carboxylic acids (Me-(CH2)n-COOH; n = 1-3, 10-15) and various nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), namely, indomethacin (IND), diclofenac (DIC), meclofenamic acid (MEC), tolfenamic acid (TOL), and flufenamic acid (FLU) (designated as salts 1-14, respectively) were synthesized as potential hydrogelators. Gelation studies revealed that mafenide n-alkyl carboxylates with n = 11-14, i.e., salts 5-8, and the indomethacin salt of mafenide, i.e., salt 10, were hydrogelators. The corresponding hydrogels, namely, 5(HG)-8(HG) and 10(HG), were characterized by table-top and dynamic rheology and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Single-crystal structures of the nongelator salts 1-3 and the gelator salt 10 were determined by X-ray diffraction. The results obtained from various studies, which included the solubility, biostability, biocompatibility (MTT assay), and anti-inflammatory (PGE2 assay) response of salt 10, the antibacterial response (zone inhibition assay) of salt 10, its components, and 10(HG), and the release of salt 10 in vitro from the corresponding hydrogel bed to the bulk solvent at 37 °C in 24 h, suggested their plausible use in developing multidrug-derived topical hydrogels for self-delivery applications.

Abstract
Functional supramolecular gel materials have potential applications in sensors, optical switches, artificial antennae, drug delivery and so on. In this paper, quinoline-cored poly(aryl ether) dendritic organogelators were designed, synthesized and fully characterized. The gelation behaviour of the dendritic organogelator was tested in organic solvents, mixed solvents and ionic liquids. The dendron Q-G1 was found to be an efficient and versatile organogelator toward various apolar and polar organic solvents with the critical gelation concentrations (CGCs) approaching 1.2×10-2 mol/L, indicating one dendritic organogelator could immobilize 1.2×103 solvent molecules in the organogel network. Interestingly, these dendrons exhibited excellent gel formation in ionic liquids. Notably, these dendritic organogels were found to display multiple stimuli-responsive properties toward external stimuli including heat, ultrasound and shear stress, with a reversible sol-gel phase transition. In addition, the dendritic organogel could effectively adsorb heavy metals and organic dyes. The removal rate of Pb2+ was up to 20% and the adsorption rate for Rhodamine B was as high as 89%.

Abstract
This paper reports the use of a self-assembling hydrogel as a delivery vehicle for the Parkinson's disease drug l-DOPA. Based on a two-component combination of an l-glutamine amide derivative and benzaldehyde, this gel has very soft rheological properties and self-healing characteristics. It is demonstrated that the gel can be formulated to encapsulate l-DOPA. These drug-loaded gels are characterized, and rapid release of the drug is obtained from the gel network. This drug-loaded hydrogel has appropriate rheological characteristics to be amenable for injection. This system is therefore tested as a vehicle for nasal delivery of neurologically-active drugs-a drug delivery strategy that can potentially avoid first pass liver metabolism and bypass the blood-brain barrier, hence enhancing brain uptake. In vitro tests indicate that the gel has biocompatibility with respect to nasal epithelial cells. Furthermore, animal studies demonstrate that the nasal delivery of a gel loaded with 3 H-labeled l-DOPA out-performed a simple intranasal l-DOPA solution. This is attributed to longer residence times of the gel in the nasal cavity resulting in increased blood and brain concentrations. It is demonstrated that the likely routes of brain penetration of intranasally-delivered l-DOPA gel involve the trigeminal and olfactory nerves connecting to other brain regions.

Abstract
In this paper, a detailed study on the gelation properties of a series of terpyridine and dipyrazine-pyridine ligands in the presence of metal salts is reported. To reveal the driving forces for the self-assembly of the metallogelators, their crystal structure is scrutinized. Inspired by the gelation of CuCl2[Terpy- nCN], where "Terpy- nCN" is 4'-( n-cyanophenyl)-2,2',6',2″-terpyridine, to look into the aggregation behavior of the related analogues, synthesis of CuCl2[Dipyz-py- nCN] derivatives, where "Dipyz-py- nCN" is 4-( n-cyanophenyl)-2,6-di-pyrazin-2-yl-pyridine, with the same cyano groups is performed. We then find that the Dipyz-py counterpart forms crystals when the molecules are stacked in an alternating way, instead of the unidirectional one required for gel formation. A crystal engineering approach is applied to determine the interactions that are favorable for fabricating a fiber network that is likely to be present in both crystalline and gel states and to find the interaction that disturbs this delicate balance between gelation and crystallization in coordination compounds; then, we conclude that the subtle balance between the molecular shape and intermolecular interactions is the origin of the gelation and crystallization of the current molecular system. This enables us to find the mutual connection among the structure of molecules, assembly behavior, and intermolecular interactions. With our experiments, a deep understanding of the balance among solution, gelation, and crystallization with subtle molecular diversions is provided.

Abstract
Systemic drug delivery methods such as oral or parenteral administration of free drugs possess relatively low treatment efficiency and marked adverse side effects. The use of nanoparticles for drug delivery in most cases substantially enhances drug efficacy, improves pharmacokinetics and drug release and limits their side effects. However, further enhancement in drug efficacy and significant limitation of adverse side effects can be achieved by specific targeting of nanocarrier-based delivery systems especially in combination with local administration. The present review describes major advantages and limitations of organic and inorganic nanocarriers or living cell-based drug and nucleic acid delivery systems. Among these, different nanoparticles, supramolecular gels, therapeutic cells as living drug carriers etc. have emerged as a new frontier in modern medicine.

Abstract
Metal-ligand coordination involving hydrogen-bond-functionalized ligands was employed rationally to get an easy access to a series of metallogelators derived from 3-pyridyl derivatives of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [e.g., ibuprofen, sulindac, and flurbiprofen designated as 3-pyIBU, 3-pySUL, and 3-pyFLR, respectively] and biogenic metal centers [Zn(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), and Ag(I)]. A total of 13 metallogels (MG1-MG13) were obtained by allowing the ligands and the metal salts to react in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/water at room temperature. A slightly different solvent system (DMSO/water/MeOH) afforded four crystalline coordination complexes of 3-pyIBU, namely, [{Cu(3-pyIBU)4(DMSO)2}(NO3)2] (CC1), [{Ag(3-pyIBU)2}(BF4)] (CC2), [{Ag(3-pyIBU)2}(ClO4)] (CC3), and [{Cu(3-pyIBU)4(CH3OH)2}(OTf)] (CC4), which were fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. However, none of these coordination complexes produced metallogels-the results corroborated well with the rationale, based on which the metallogelators were obtained. Two selected metallogels (MG3 and MG9) could be leached out from the corresponding metallogels to the bulk solvent to the extent of 51 and 59%, respectively after 24 h of incubation at 37 °C, indicating their plausible use in topical application. Moreover, one of the selected metallogelators, i.e., MG9, displayed anti-inflammatory response and was able to inhibit the migration of highly aggressive human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231, suggesting its plausible use as anticancer agent.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical drugs with low water solubility have always received great attention within the scientific community. The reduced bioavailability and the need of frequent administrations have motivated the investigation of new drug delivery systems. Within this context, drug carriers that release their payload in a sustained way and hence reduce the administration rate are highly demanded. One interesting strategy to meet these requirements is the entrapment of the drugs into gels. So far, the most investigated materials for such drug-loaded gels are derived from polymers and based on covalent linkages. However, over the last decade the use of physical (or supramolecular) gels derived from low molecular weight compounds has experienced strong growth in this field, mainly due to important properties such as injectability, stimuli responsiveness and ease of synthesis. This review summarizes the use of supramolecular gels for the encapsulation and controlled release of small therapeutic molecules.

Partially Acetylated or Benzoylated Arabinose Derivatives as Structurally Simple Organogelators: Effect of the Ester Protecting Group on Gel Properties. Chemistry 2017.

Abstract
Sugar-based low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs) have been used for various applications for a long time. Herein, structurally simple, ester-protected arabinosides are reported as low-molecular-weight organogelators (LMOGs) that are able to gel aromatic solvents, as well as petrol and diesel. Studies on the mechanical strength of the gels, through detailed rheological experiments, indicate that gels from the 1,2-dibenzoylated arabinose gelator possess better mechanical properties than those from the 1,2-diacetylated gelator. These results are interpreted in terms of the tendency of the former to form fibers with comparatively lower diameter than those of the latter, based on detailed field-emission SEM and AFM studies. Investigations of the interactions responsible for the self-assembly of gelators through IR spectroscopy and wide-angle X-ray scattering reveal that the primary interactions responsible are hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl groups and ester C=O, which is absent in the solid state of the gelators. In addition, π interactions present in the 1,2-dibenzoylated derivative result in a more regular arrangement, which, in turn, leads to better mechanical properties of the gels compared with those of the 1,2-diacetylated gelator.

Abstract
The pain relief capabilities of methyl salicylate are well established and a multitude of over-the-counter products populate pharmacy shelves. Over-application of the topical preparation containing the drug, or its accidental ingestion, invariably result in salicylate poisoning and in severe cases can be fatal. The drug has been a regular feature of the US National Poison Database Survey over the past decade and continues to pose a risk to children and adults alike. The aim of the review has been to cast a spotlight on the drug and assess why its use remains problematic, how technology could offer more efficacious delivery regimes, and minimise the possibility of accidental or intentional misuse.

Abstract
A new series of primary ammonium monocarboxylate (PAM) salts of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), namely, tolfenamic acid (TA), and its β-alanine derivatives were generated. Nearly 67 % of the salts in the series showed gelling abilities with various solvents, including water (biogenic solvent) and methyl salicylate (typically used for topical gel formulations). Gels were characterized by rheology, electron microscopy, and so forth. Structure-property correlations based on single-crystal and powder XRD data of several gelator and nongelator salts revealed intriguing insights. Studies (in vitro) on an aggressive human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231) with the l-tyrosine methyl ester salt of TA (S7) revealed that the hydrogelator salt was more effective at killing cancer cells than the mother drug TA (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay); displayed better anti-inflammatory activity compared with that of TA (prostaglandin E2 assay); could be internalized within the cancer cells, as revealed by fluorescence microscopy; and inhibited effectively migration of the cancer cells. Thus, the easily accessible ambidextrous gelator salt S7 can be used for two purposes: as an anti-inflammatory topical gel and as an anticancer agent.
