Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts with melting points typically <100 °C, composed of specific anions and cations. Recently, IL application has expanded into material engineering and biomedicine. Due to their unique properties, ILs have garnered significant interest in pharmacological research as solubilizers, transdermal absorption enhancers, antibacterial agents, and stabilizers of insoluble pharmaceutical active ingredients. The improvement of skin permeability by ILs is closely associated with their specific physicochemical characteristics, which are identified by their ionic composition. However, the existing literature on transdermal medication administration is insufficient in terms of a comprehensive knowledge base. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of the design principles involved in IL synthesis. Additionally, it discusses the methods utilized to assess skin permeability and provides a focused outline of IL application in transdermal drug administration.

Abstract
Noscapine, a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid, was first isolated from Papaver somniferum and identified by Rabiquet in 1817. It has been used as an anti-tussive agent since the mid-1950 s. After the discovery of its anti-mitotic potential, it was into the limelight once again. Due to its low toxicity, high bioactivity and oral administration, It was regarded as a formidable framework for subsequent modification and advancement in the pursuit of innovative chemotherapeutic agents. Up to now, the rational derivatives of the noscapine have been designed and the biological activities of these analogues have been extensively investigated. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the chemical characteristics of noscapine and its semi-synthetic derivatives up to the present, encompassing a concise investigation into the biological properties of these compounds and additionally a discussion about biosynthesis and total synthesis of noscapine is also provided. In summary, our aim is to contribute to a more thorough comprehension of this structure. It can be asserted that a promising future lies ahead for noscapine and its engineered derivatives as noteworthy candidates for pharmaceutical drugs.

Abstract
In recent decades, ionic liquids (ILs) have garnered research interest for their noteworthy properties, such as thermal stability, low or no flammability, and negligible vapour pressure. Moreover, their tunability offers limitless opportunities to design ILs with properties suitable for applications in many industrial fields. This study aims to synthetise two series of methylimidazolium ILs bearing long alkyl chain in their cations (C9, C10, C12, C14, C16, C18, C20) and with tetrafluoroborate (BF4) and the 1,3-dimethyl-5-sulfoisophthalate (DMSIP) as counter ions. The ILs were characterised using 1H-NMR and MALDI-TOF, and their thermal behaviour was investigated through DSC and TGA. Additionally, the antimicrobial, anticancer, and cytotoxic activities of the ILs were analysed. Moreover, the most promising ILs were incorporated at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 wt%) into polyvinyl chloride (PVC) by solvent casting to obtain antimicrobial blend films. The thermal properties and stability of the resulting PVC/IL films, along with their hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, IL surface distribution, and release, were studied using DSC and TGA, contact angle (CA), SEM, and UV-vis spectrometry, respectively. Furthermore, the antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties of blends were analysed. The in vitro results demonstrated that the antimicrobial and antitumor activities of pure ILs against t Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens strains, and the breast cancer cell line (MCF7), respectively, were mainly dependent on their structure. These activities were higher in the series containing the BF4 anion and increased with the increase in the methylimidazolium cation alkyl chain length. However, the elongation of the alkyl chain beyond C16 induced a decrease in antimicrobial activity, indicating a cut-off effect. A similar trend was also observed in terms of in vitro biocompatibility. The loading of both the series of ILs into the PVC matrix did not affect the thermal stability of PVC blend films. However, their Tonset decreased with increased IL concentration and alkyl chain length. Similarly, both the series of PVC/IL films became more hydrophilic with increasing IL concentration and alkyl chain. The loading of ILs at 5% concentration led to considerable IL accumulation on the blend film surfaces (as observed in SEM images) and, subsequently, their higher release. The biocompatibility assessment with healthy human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells and the investigation of antitumoral properties unveiled promising pharmacological characteristics. These findings provide strong support for the potential utilisation of ILs in biomedical applications, especially in the context of cancer therapy and as antibacterial agents to address the challenge of antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, the unique properties of the PVC/IL films make them versatile materials for advancing healthcare technologies, from drug delivery to tissue engineering and antimicrobial coatings to diagnostic devices.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic salts with a low melting point. This is due to the fact that their alkyl side chains, which are covalently connected to the ion, hinder the crystallization of ILs. The low melting point of ILs has led to their widespread use as relatively harmless solvents. However, ILs do have toxic properties, the mechanism of which is largely unknown, so identifying the cellular targets of ILs is of practical importance. In our work, we showed that imidazolium ILs are not able to penetrate model membranes without damaging them. We also found that inactivation of multidrug resistance (MDR) pumps in yeast cells does not increase their sensitivity to imidazolium ILs. The latter indicates that the target of toxicity of imidazolium ILs is not in the cytoplasm. Thus, it can be assumed that the disruption of the barrier properties of the plasma membrane is the main reason for the toxicity of low concentrations of imidazolium ILs. We also showed that supplementation with imidazolium ILs restores the growth of cells with kinetically blocked glycolysis. Apparently, a slight disruption of the plasma membrane caused by ILs can, in some cases, be beneficial for the cell.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to model the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in different ionic liquids (ILs) based on the σ-moments of cations, anions, and APIs that were used as molecular descriptors calculated using the σ-profiles of three categories of descriptors based on conductor-like screening model for real solvents. The database of 83 API-ILs systems composed of 14 APIs, 12 cations, and 7 anions (25 ILs combinations) was collected as 850 data points at different temperature ranges. A hybrid Improved Grey Wolf Support vector regression, abbreviated as I-GWO-SVR(r), algorithm was selected as the learning method. Based on a comprehensive comparison with 11 different models, various statistical factors, and graphical analyses, including an external validation test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and sensitivity analysis, the capability and validity of the proposed approach have been assessed and verified. The overall study confirmed that the proposed new model provided the best results in terms of predicting the solubility of APIs in ILs.

Abstract
In this work, we describe the synthesis, interactions with bovine serum albumin, and cytotoxicity of new ionic liquids based on 5-fluorouracil (API-ILs) with different cations (imidazolium, choline, isoquinolinium, guanidinium). The secondary and tertiary structure of BSA in solutions with different concentrations of API-ILs was monitored by the circular dichroism (CD) technique. The addition of API-ILs does not lead to structural changes in BSA. A quenching of fluorescence spectra intensity of BSA in presence of all API-ILs was observed, allowing the quantification of binding between API-ILs and BSA. The preferred localization of both ions in API-ILs differs significantly depending on the structure of the cation according to molecular docking. The aggregation of BSA in presence of API-ILs was analyzed by the dynamic light scattering (DLS) method, revealing a moderate increase in particle size. Cytotoxicity and selectivity of API-ILs on cancer and normal cell lines were estimated, showing a clear modification of the pharmaceutic activity of ionic liquid compared to 5-fluorouracil.

Abstract
Long-chain imidazole-based ionic liquids (compounds 2, 4, 9) and lysosomotropic detergents (compounds 7, 3, 8) with potent anticancer activity were synthesized. Their inhibitory activities against neuroblastoma and leukaemia cell lines were predicted by the new in silico QSAR models. The cytotoxic activities of the synthesized imidazole derivatives were investigated on the SK-N-DZ (human neuroblastoma) and K-562 (human chronic myeloid leukaemia) cell lines. Compounds 2 and 7 showed the highest in vitro cytotoxic effect on both cancer cell lines. The docking procedure of compounds 2 and 7 into the NAD+ coenzyme binding site of deacetylase Sirtuin-1 (SIRT-1) showed the formation of protein-ligand complexes with calculated binding energies of - 8.0 and - 8.1 kcal/mol, respectively. The interaction of SIRT1 with compounds 2, 7 and 9 and the interaction of Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) with compounds 7 and 9 were also demonstrated by thermal shift assay. Compounds 2, 4, 7 and 9 inhibited SIRT1 deacetylase activity in the SIRT-Glo assay. Compounds 7 and 9 showed a moderate inhibitory activity against Aurora kinase A. In addition, compounds 3, 4, 8 and 9 inhibited the Janus kinase 2 activity. The results obtained showed that long-chain imidazole derivatives exhibited cytotoxic activities on K562 leukaemia and SK-N-DZ neuroblastoma cell lines. Furthermore, these compounds inhibited a panel of molecular targets involved in leukaemia and neuroblastoma tumorigenesis. All these results suggest that both long-chain imidazole-based ionic liquids and lysosomotropic detergents may be an effective alternative for the treatment of neuroblastoma and chronic myeloid leukemia and merit further investigation.

Comparative assessment of 9-bromo noscapine ionic liquid and noscapine: Synthesis, in-vitro studies plus computational & biophysical evaluation with human hemoglobin. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 247:125791. [PMID: 37442512 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
Noscapine is a proficient anticancer drug active against wide variety of tumors including lung cancer. Over time, several noscapine analogues have been assessed to maximize the efficiency of the drug, amongst which 9-bromo noscapine remains one of the most potent analogues till date. In the present work, we have synthesized 9-bromo noscapine ionic liquid [9-Br-Nos]IBr2, an active pharmaceutical ingredient based ionic liquid (API-IL) to address the existing issues of solubility and targeted drug delivery in the parent alkaloid as well as the synthesized analogues. We have devised a novel two-step synthesis route (first-ever ionic to ionic bromination) to obtain the desired [9-Br-Nos]IBr2 which is advantageous to its organic analogue in terms of increased solubility, lesser reaction time and better yield. Furthermore, we have compared 9-bromo noscapine ionic liquid with noscapine based on its binding interaction with human hemoglobin (Hb) studied via computational along with spectroscopic studies, and bioactivity against non-small cell lung cancer. We inferred formation of a complex between [9-Br-Nos]IBr2 and Hb in the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1, similar to noscapine. At 298 K, [9-Br-Nos]IBr2-Hb binding was found to exhibit Kb and ∆G of 36,307 M-1 and -11.5 KJmol-1, respectively, as compared to 159 M-1 and -12.5 KJmol-1 during Noscapine-Hb binding. This indicates a more stronger and viable interaction between [9-Br-Nos]IBr2 and Hb than the parent compound. From computational studies, the observed higher stability of [9-Br-Nos]I and better binding affinity with Hb with a binding energy of -91.75 kcalmol-1 supported the experimental observations. In the same light, novel [9-Br-Nos]IBr2 was found to exhibit an IC50 = 95.02 ± 6.32 μM compared to IC50 = 128.82 ± 2.87 μM for noscapine on A549 (non-small lung cancer) cell line at 48 h. Also, the desired ionic liquid proved to be more cytotoxic inducing a mortality rate of 87 % relative to 66 % evoked by noscapine at concentrations of 200 μM after 72 h.

Abstract
The development of effective drug formulations and delivery systems for newly developed or marketed drug molecules remains a significant challenge. These drugs can exhibit polymorphic conversion, poor bioavailability, and systemic toxicity, and can be difficult to formulate with traditional organic solvents due to acute toxicity. Ionic liquids (ILs) are recognized as solvents that can improve the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of drugs. ILs can address the operational/functional challenges associated with traditional organic solvents. However, many ILs are non-biodegradable and inherently toxic, which is the most significant challenge in developing IL-based drug formulations and delivery systems. Biocompatible ILs comprising biocompatible cations and anions mainly derived from bio-renewable sources are considered a green alternative to both conventional ILs and organic/inorganic solvents. This review covers the technologies and strategies developed to design biocompatible ILs, focusing on the design of biocompatible IL-based drug formulations and delivery systems, and discusses the advantages of these ILs in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Furthermore, this review will provide guidance on transitioning to biocompatible ILs rather than commonly used toxic ILs and organic solvents in fields ranging from chemical synthesis to pharmaceutics.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma rapidly acquires resistance to chemotherapy, remaining a fatal disease. Immunotherapy is one of the breakthroughs in cancer treatment, which includes immune checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy, and neoantigen vaccines. However, immunotherapy has not achieved satisfactory results in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Immunogenic death comprises proinflammatory cell death, which provides a way to enhance tumor immunogenicity and promote an immune response in solid tumors. Herein, an ionic liquid ablation agent (LAA), synthesized from choline and geranic acid, which triggers necrosis-induced immunotherapy by remodeling an immunosuppressive "cold" tumor to an immune activated "hot" tumor is described. The results indicate that LAA-treated tumor cells can enhance immunogenicity, inducing dendritic cell maturation, macrophage M1 polarization, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration. The results of the present study provide a novel strategy for solid tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
In this work, we have developed noscapine based ionic liquids i.e., Noscapine (MeNOS) and 9-Bromonoscapine (MeBrNOS) as cation supported with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (NTf2-) as anion. We have reported the mechanism of binding interaction between noscapine based ILs and human hemoglobin (Hb) using various spectroscopic and computational techniques. The corresponding thermodynamics studies showed that the binding is exothermic in nature and major forces responsible for binding are Van der waals and hydrogen bonding interaction. The fluorescence spectra showed that the intensity of Hb decreases in the presence of [MeNOS]NTf2 and [MeBrNOS]NTf2 both shows static quenching. The secondary structural changes in Hb were observed and calculated by using CD spectroscopy. Molecular docking studies revealed that both the ILs show strong binding in β1 fragment of the tetrameric structure of Hb, but the binding of [MeNOS]NTf2 is relatively stronger than [MeBrNOS]NTf2 and the results are supported by MD simulations.

Abstract
Designing drug delivery systems for therapeutic compounds whose receptors are located in the cytosol of cells is challenging as a bilayer cell membrane is negatively charged. The newly designed drug delivery systems should assist the mentioned drugs in passing the membrane barriers and achieving their targets. This study concentrated on developing novel ionic liquids (ILs) that interact effectively with cell membranes. These ILs are based on glucose-containing choline and are expected to be non-toxic. The binding energies of the known pharmaceutically active ionic liquids were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level in the gas phase and compared with those of our newly designed carbohydrate-based ionic liquids. Subsequently, we employed MD simulations to obtain information about the interactions of these known and designed ILs with the cell membrane. In our approach, we adopted QM and MD studies and illustrated that there could be a link between the QM and MD results.

Abstract
Synthesis of dimeric nitro-substituted imidazolium salts under the conventional/solvent-free method is reported. The solvent-free method is more important than the conventional one because of its shorter reaction time, higher yield from easily available starting material, environmental safety, and so forth. Counter anion exchange is carried out using inorganic salt, which is dissolved in deionized water at room temperature. In antibacterial studies, dimeric nitro-substituted imidazolium cations with bromide counter anions showed excellent inhibition against E. coli and P. aeruginosa bacteria. These experimental results were further supported by molecular docking studies. All the compounds (3-6) (a-d) showed excellent antibacterial activity than the standard drugs (gentamycin, nalidixic acid, oflaxacin, ciproflaxacin, and amikacin). Molecular docking studies showed strong hydrogen bonding, polar and hydrophobic interactions between the dimeric imidazolium salts, and Escherichia coli/Pseudomonas aeruginosa/Proteus vulgaris/Staphylococcus aureus receptors.

Abstract
We present the effective synthesis and structural characterization of three novel imidazolium-thiohydantoin ligands (IMTHs, 5a–c) and their Mn(iii) complexes (Mn(iii)IMTHs, 6a–c) in this study. The findings of elemental analyses, spectral analyses and magnetic measurements will be used to infer the stoichiometry, coordination styles, and geometrical aspects of Mn(iii)IMTHs. The new compounds were evaluated for their chemotherapeutic potential against ESKAPE pathogens and liver cancer (HepG2). According to the MIC and MBC values, the bactericidal and bacteriostatic activities of IMTHs have been significantly improved following coordination with the Mn(iii) ion. The MTT assay results showed that all Mn(iii)IMTHs had the potential to reduce the viability of liver carcinoma (HepG2) cells in a dose-dependent manner, with the BF4-supported complex (6b) outperforming its counterparts (6a and 6c) as well as a clinical anticancer drug (VBL). Additionally, Mn-IMTH2 (6b) showed the highest level of selectivity (SI = 32.05) for targeting malignant cells (HepG2) over healthy cells (HL7702). We present the effective synthesis and structural characterization of three novel imidazolium-thiohydantoin ligands (IMTHs, 5a–c) and their Mn(iii) complexes (Mn(iii)IMTHs, 6a–c) in this study.![]()

Abstract
Current interest toward ionic liquids (ILs) stems from some of their novel characteristics, like low vapor pressure, thermal stability, and nonflammability, integrated through high ionic conductivity and broad range of electrochemical strength. Nowadays, ionic liquids represent a new category of chemical-based compounds for developing superior and multifunctional substances with potential in several fields. ILs can be used in solvents such as salt electrolyte and additional materials. By adding functional physiochemical characteristics, a variety of IL-based electrolytes can also be used for energy storage purposes. It is hoped that the present review will supply guidance for future research focused on IL-based polymer nanocomposites electrolytes for sensors, high performance, biomedicine, and environmental applications. Additionally, a comprehensive overview about the polymer-based composites' ILs components, including a classification of the types of polymer matrix available is provided in this review. More focus is placed upon ILs-based polymeric nanocomposites used in multiple applications such as electrochemical biosensors, energy-related materials, biomedicine, actuators, environmental, and the aviation and aerospace industries. At last, existing challenges and prospects in this field are discussed and concluding remarks are provided.

Abstract
Topical drug delivery provides several benefits over other conventional routes by providing localizing therapeutic effects and also avoids the gastrointestinal tract circumventing the first-pass metabolism and enzymatic drug degradation. Being painless, the topical route also prevents the difficulties linked with the parenteral route. However, there are limitations to the current topical systems which necessitate the need for further research to find functional excipients to overcome these limitations. This review deals in depth with the ionic liquids concerning their physicochemical properties and applicability as well as their role in the arena of topical drug delivery in permeation enhancement, bioavailability enhancement of the drugs by solvation, and drug moiety modification. The review gives a detailed insight into the recent literature on ionic liquid-based topical formulations like ionic liquid-based emulsions, active pharmaceutical ingredient-ionic liquids, ionic liquid-based bacterial cellulose membranes, topical small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery, and ionogels as a possible solutions for overcoming the challenges associated with the topical route. This review also takes into account the toxicological aspects and biomedical applications of ionic liquids.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma (MM) is the most lethal skin cancer. Despite a 4% reduction in mortality over the past few years, an increasing number of new diagnosed cases appear each year. Long-term therapy and the development of resistance to the drugs used drive the search for more and more new agents with anti-melanoma activity. This review focuses on the most recent synthesized anti-melanoma agents from 2020-2022. For selected agents, apart from the analysis of biological activity, the structure-activity relationship (SAR) is also discussed. To the best of our knowledge, the following literature review delivers the latest achievements in the field of new anti-melanoma agents.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are known for their unique physicochemical properties. However, despite the great number of published papers, still little attention has been paid to their biological activity. Anticancer potential and the molecular mechanisms underlying the toxicity of these compounds are especially interesting and still unexplored. In the current work, a broad analysis of the cytotoxicity towards colon and breast cancers as well as glioblastoma of the ILs with pyridinium, piperidinium, pyrrolidinium, and imidazolium cations and trifluoromethanesulfonate or bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anions indicated previously as the most toxic for normal human dermal fibroblasts were presented. In the case of MCF-7 cells, the activity of 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate was more than twice as high as cisplatin. It was found that the inhibition of the cell cycle of colon cancer and glioblastoma cells occurs in different phases. More importantly, the different types of cell death were detected for both selected ILs, namely 1-hexyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethane-sulfonate, on colon cancer and glioblastoma, respectively, apoptosis and autophagy, confirmed at the gene and protein levels. Additionally, kinetic studies of the reactive oxygen species indicated that the tested ILs disturbed the cellular redox homeostasis.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of nonmolecular compounds composed only of ions. Compared with traditional organic solvents, ILs have the advantages of wide chemical space, diverse and flexible structures, negligible vapor pressure, and high thermal stability, which make them widely used in many fields of modern science, such as chemical synthesis and catalytic decomposition, electrochemistry, biomass conversion, and biotransformation biotechnology. Because of their special characteristics, ILs have been favored in the pharmaceutical field recently, especially for the development of efficient drug delivery systems. So far, ILs have been successfully designed to promote the dissolution of poorly soluble drugs and the destruction of physiological barriers, such as the tight junction between the stratum corneum and the intestinal epithelium. In addition, ILs can also be combined with other drug strategies to stabilize the structure of small molecules. This Review mainly introduces the application of ILs in drug delivery, emphasizes the potential mechanism of ILs, and presents the key research directions of ILs in the future.

Abstract
We investigated the intermolecular dynamics and static structure in the aqueous solutions of lidocaine hydrochloride (LDHCl) in the concentration range of [LDHCl] = 0-2.00 M using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES), small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). For the fs-RIKES experiments, the concentration dependence of the difference low-frequency spectra of the aqueous LDHCl solutions relative to the neat water, which was mainly due to the intermolecular vibrations, was characterized using an exponential function with a characteristic concentration of ∼1 M. For the SWAXS experiments, we observed a manifestation of an excess scattering component centered within a range of 8-10 nm-1 in the aqueous LDHCl solutions. The results of Fourier inversion and further deconvolution analyses unambiguously demonstrated that lidocaines assemble into a nanometer-sized micelle-like structure with the innermost core (∼0.3 nm) and outer shell (∼0.5 nm), respectively. The DLS experiments also found nanometer-sized aggregates and further indicated evidence of the clusters of the aggregates. The results of viscosities, densities, and surface tensions of the solutions and the quantum chemistry calculations supported the unique features of the microscopic intermolecular interaction and the micelle-like aggregation.

Abstract
A novel series of thiazolium ionic liquids (TILs) bound to chloride (2a-c), tetrafluoroborate (BF4) (3a-c), and bis-(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) (Tf2N) anions (4a-c) was synthesized and their physicochemical characteristics were investigated using various microanalytical techniques. The pharmacological potential of the new TILs was assessed as chemotherapeutic agents for bacterial infections and ovarian cancer (SKOV-3). Notably, ILs with the same cations become more bactericidal upon their binding with the strongest chaotropic anion (TN2f). The in vitro toxicity of the TILs toward ovarian carcinoma cell lines (SKOV-3) and normal human skin fibroblast cells (HSF) revealed that all tested TILs have the capacity to induce a dose- and time-dependent decline in SKOV-3 cell viability, with Tf2N-linked TILs (4a-c) having a preferable efficacy. In addition, the new compounds showed excellent selectivity for cancer cells (SKOV-3) over healthy cells (HSF). [iPBzTh][Tf2N] (4b) is the most cytotoxic and specific one and may act as a promising anti-ovarian cancer agent.

Abstract
The antitumor activity of imidazolium salts is highly dependent upon their lipophilicity that can be tuned by the introduction of different hydrophobic substituents on the nitrogen atoms of the imidazolium ring of the molecule. Taking this into consideration, we have synthesized and characterized a series of tripodal imidazolium salts derived from L-valine and L-phenylalanine containing different hydrophobic groups and tested them against four cancer cell lines at physiological and acidic pH. At acidic pH (6.2) the anticancer activity of some of the tripodal compounds changes dramatically, and this parameter is crucial to control their cytotoxicity and selectivity. Moreover, several of these compounds displayed selectivity against the control healthy cell line higher than four. The transmembrane anion transport studies revealed moderate transport abilities suggesting that the observed biological activity is likely not the result of just their transport activity. The observed trends in biological activity at acidic pH agree well with the results for the CF leakage assay. These results strongly suggest that this class of compounds can serve as potential chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Interest in ionic liquids (ILs), called green or designer solvents, has been increasing because of their excellent properties such as thermal stability and low vapor pressure; thus, they can replace harmful organic chemicals and help several industrial fields e.g., energy-storage materials production and biomaterial pretreatment. However, the claim that ILs are green solvents should be carefully considered from an environmental perspective. ILs, given their minimal vapor pressure, may not directly cause atmospheric pollution. However, they have the potential to cause adverse effects if leaked into the environment, for instance if they are spilled due to human mistakes or technical errors. To estimate the risks of ILs, numerous ILs have had their toxicity assessed toward several micro- and macro-organisms over the past few decades. Since the toxic effects of ILs depend on the method of estimating toxicity, it is necessary to briefly summarize and comprehensively discuss the biological effects of ILs according to their structure and toxicity testing levels. This can help simplify our understanding of the toxicity of ILs. Therefore, in this review, we discuss the key findings of toxicological information of ILs, collect some toxicity data of ILs to different species, and explain the influence of IL structure on their toxic properties. In the discussion, we estimated two different sensitivity values of toxicity testing levels depending on the experiment condition, which are theoretical magnitudes of the inherent sensitivity of toxicity testing levels in various conditions and their changes in biological response according to the change in IL structure. Finally, some perspectives, future research directions, and limitations to toxicological research of ILs, presented so far, are discussed.

Abstract
Numerous studies are continuously being carried out in pursuit of formulations with higher performance. Problems such as poor drug solubility, which hinders drug incorporation into delivery systems and bioavailability, or limitations concerning the stability and performance of the formulations may cause difficulties, since solving all these drawbacks at once is a huge challenge. Ionic liquids (ILs), due to their tunable nature, may hypothetically be synthesized for a particular application. Therefore, predicting the impact of a particular combination of ions within an IL in drug delivery could be a useful strategy. Eight ILs, two choline amino acid ILs, two imidazole halogenated ILs, and four imidazole amino acid ILs, were prepared. Their applicability at non-toxic concentrations, for improving solubility and the incorporation of the poorly soluble, ferulic, caffeic, and p-coumaric acids, as well as rutin, into topical emulsions, was assessed. Next, the impact of the ILs on the performance of the formulations was investigated. Our study showed that choosing the appropriate IL leads to a clear upgrade of a topical emulsion, by optimizing multiple features of its performance, such as improving the delivery of poorly soluble drugs, altering the viscosity, which may lead to better sensorial features, and increasing the stability over time.

Abstract
In drug discovery and drug development, it is estimated that around 40% of commercialized and 90% of under-study drugs have inadequate pharmaceutical properties, severely impairing its therapeutic efficacy. Thus, there is a strong demand to find strategies to enhance the delivery of such drugs. Ionic liquids are a novel class of liquids composed of a combination of organic salts that are of particular interest alone or in combination with drug delivery systems. This review is focused on the recent efforts using ionic liquids in drug solubility, formulation and drug delivery with specific emphasis on nanotechnology. The latest developments using hybrid delivery systems obtained upon the combination of drug delivery systems and ionic liquids will also be addressed.

The Impact of [C16Pyr][Amp] on the Aggressiveness in Breast and Prostate Cancer Cell Lines. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21249584. [PMID: 33339207 PMCID: PMC7765672 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21249584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2020] [Revised: 12/05/2020] [Accepted: 12/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Breast (BrCa) and prostate (PCa) cancers are the most common malignancies in women and men, respectively. The available therapeutic options for these tumors are still not curative and have severe side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more effective antineoplastic agents. Herein, BrCa, PCa, and benign cell lines were treated with two ionic liquids and two quinoxalines and functional experiments were performed-namely cell viability, apoptosis, cytotoxicity, and colony formation assays. At the molecular level, an array of gene expressions encompassing several molecular pathways were used to explore the impact of treatment on gene expression. Although both quinoxalines and the ionic liquid [C2OHMIM][Amp] did not show any effect on the BrCa and PCa cell lines, [C16Pyr][Amp] significantly decreased cell viability and colony formation ability, while it increased the apoptosis levels of all cell lines. Importantly, [C16Pyr][Amp] was found to be more selective for cancer cells and less toxic than cisplatin. At the molecular level, this ionic liquid was also associated with reduced expression levels of CPT2, LDHA, MCM2, and SKP2, in both BrCa and PCa cell lines. Hence, [C16Pyr][Amp] was shown to be a promising anticancer therapeutic agent for BrCa and PCa cell lines.

Abstract
Antibiotics are considered one of the great "miracles" of the 20th century. Now in the 21st century in the post-antibiotic era, the miracle is turning into a nightmare, due to the growing problem of the resistance of microorganisms to classic antimicrobials and the non-investment by the pharmaceutical industry in new antimicrobial agents. Unfortunately, the current COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the global risks associated with uncontrolled infections and the various forms of impact that such a pandemic may have on the economy and on social habits besides the associated morbidity and mortality. Therefore, there is an urgent need to recycle classic antibiotics, as is the case in the use of ionic liquids (ILs) based on antibiotics. Thus, the aim of the present review is to summarize the data on ILs, mainly those with antimicrobial action and especially against resistant strains. The main conclusions of this article are that ILs are flexible due to their ability to modulate cations and anions as a salt, making it possible to combine the properties of both and multiplying the activity of separate cations and anions. Also, these compounds have low cost methods of production, which makes it highly attractive to explore them, especially as antimicrobial agents and against resistant strains. ILs may further be combined with other therapeutic strategies, such as phage or lysine therapy, enhancing the therapeutic arsenal needed to fight this worldwide problem of antibacterial resistance. Thus, the use of ILs as antibiotics by themselves or together with phage therapy and lysine therapy are promising alternatives against pathogenic microorganisms, and may have the possibility to be used in new ways in order to restrain uncontrolled infections.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are solvents with salt structures. Typically, they contain organic cations (ammonium, imidazolium, pyridinium, piperidinium or pyrrolidinium), and halogen, fluorinated or organic anions. While ILs are considered to be environmentally-friendly compounds, only a few reasons support this claim. This is because of high thermal stability, and negligible pressure at room temperature which makes them non-volatile, therefore preventing the release of ILs into the atmosphere. The expansion of the range of applications of ILs in many chemical industry fields has led to a growing threat of contamination of the aquatic and terrestrial environments by these compounds. As the possibility of the release of ILs into the environment s grow systematically, there is an increasing and urgent obligation to determine their toxic and antimicrobial influence on the environment. Many bioassays were carried out to evaluate the (eco)toxicity and biodegradability of ILs. Most of them have questioned their "green" features as ILs turned out to be toxic towards organisms from varied trophic levels. Therefore, there is a need for a new biodegradable, less toxic "greener" ILs. This review presents the potential risks to the environment linked to the application of ILs. These are the following: cytotoxicity evaluated by the use of human cells, toxicity manifesting in aqueous and terrestrial environments. The studies proving the relation between structures versus toxicity for ILs with special emphasis on directions suitable for designing safer ILs synthesized from renewable sources are also presented. The representants of a new generation of easily biodegradable ILs derivatives of amino acids, sugars, choline, and bicyclic monoterpene moiety are collected. Some benefits of using ILs in medicine, agriculture, and the bio-processing industry are also presented.

Abstract
A covalent conjugate between an antibacterial ionic liquid and an antimicrobial peptide was produced via "click" chemistry, and found to retain the parent peptide's activity against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria, and antibiofilm action on a resistant clinical isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae, while exhibiting much improved stability towards tyrosinase-mediated modifications. This unprecedented communication is a prelude for the promise held by ionic liquids -based approaches as tools to improve the action of bioactive peptides.

Abstract
A poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) obtained by polymerizing an ionic liquid (IL) monomer exhibits the characteristics of low cost and good biocompatibility, and it retains the excellent properties of the monomer. However, there is still a need to develop PILs for biomedical applications, which has been paid little attention. Herein, an amphiphilic block polymer containing a PIL block is synthesized, which simultaneously includes a targeted ligand, a photo-responsive block, and a pH-responsive block. The resultant amphiphilic block polymer can self-assemble into drug-loaded nanoparticles with a size of ∼80 nm in aqueous solution, and its drug loading capacity is as high as 70%. Moreover, the drug releasing mechanism of these drug-loaded nanoparticles can be triggered by light and pH stimuli. These novel amphiphilic PIL-based drug-loaded nanoparticles show highly effective antitumor effects, providing a promising approach for the delivery and controlled release of chemotherapy drugs in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Newer imidazolium ionic liquid (IL) halides 4a-f appending variety of fluorinated phenylacetamide side chains were designed and synthesized through quaternization of 1-methyl and/or 1,2-dimethylimidazole with appropriate 2-chloro-N-(fluorinatedphenyl)acetamides. The resulting ILs were converted to their respective ionic liquid analogues carrying fluorinated counteranions (PF6 -, BF4 -, and/or CF3COO-) 5a-r. All newly synthesized ILs were fully characterized using several spectroscopic experiments such as 1H, 13C, 11B, 19F, 31P NMR, and mass analysis. The synthesized ionic liquids were investigated for their DNA binding and anticancer activities. The obtained DNA binding constants ranged from 1.444 × 105 to 3.518 × 105, indicating a reasonably good binding affinity. The percentage of anticancer activities ranged from 48 to 59 with H-1229 cell line, showing quite good anticancer potential. The modeling studies indicated the interactions of the reported molecules with DNA via hydrogen bonds. These were in agreement with those of DNA binding and anticancer results. Briefly, the designed ionic liquids may be used as good anticancer candidates for treating human cancer.

Abstract
The preparation and characterization of ionic liquids and organic salts (OSILs) that contain anionic penicillin G [secoPen] and amoxicillin [seco-Amx] hydrolysate derivatives and their in vitro antibacterial activity against sensitive and resistant Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains is reported. Eleven hydrolyzed β-lactam-OSILs were obtained after precipitation in moderate-to-high yields via the neutralization of the basic ammonia buffer of antibiotics with different cation hydroxide salts. The obtained minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data of the prepared compounds showed a relative decrease of the inhibitory concentrations (RDIC) in the order of 100 in the case of [C2OHMIM][seco-Pen] against sensitive S. aureus ATCC25923 and, most strikingly, higher than 1000 with [C16Pyr][seco-Amx] against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ATCC 43300. These outstanding in vitro results showcase that a straightforward transformation of standard antibiotics into hydrolyzed organic salts can dramatically change the pharmaceutical activity of a drug, including giving rise to potent formulations of antibiotics against deadly bacteria strains.

Abstract
:
The unique properties of ionic liquids make them quite appealing for diverse applications,
from “green” solvents (1st generation ionic liquids) to finely tuned materials (2nd generation
ionic liquids). A decade ago, a 3rd generation of ionic liquids emerged which is focused
on their prospective clinical applications, either as drugs per se or as adjuvants in drug formulations.
In recent years, research focused on the use of ionic liquids for topical drug delivery
has been increasing and holds great promise towards clinical application against skin cancers.
This article highlights the growing relevance of ionic liquids in medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical
technology, which is opening new windows of opportunity.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) present a vast number of solvents capable of replacing toxic organic solvents in chemical, biotechnology and biomedical applications. ILs are inexpensive and environmentally friendly as the materials can be recycled conveniently. Chemists use a variety of cation and anion combinations to produce an IL that fits the requirements of the sustainable future through the pursuit of greener chemical processes. As such, the development of various types of ILs has been recognized as the emergence of environmentally friendly solvents to attain enhanced protein stability in vitro. The literature survey reveals that there exist a large number of scholarly articles as well as elegant reviews on protein stability in ILs. Biomolecules have adapted to antagonistic environmental stresses that normally denature proteins, and the mechanism of adaptation that protects the cellular components against denaturation involves the intracellular concentration of co-solvents. In this regard, recent experimental results distinctly demonstrated that ILs are stabilizing proteins against denaturing stresses, and their presence in the cells does not alter protein functional activities. However, a review focusing particularly on the refolding and counteracting effects of the ILs against denatured proteins by multiple stresses is still missing. This perspective unveils the studies that have been conducted to improve protein stabilities with ILs as well as the refolding and counteracting abilities of these ILs against the denatured proteins under the influence of multiple stresses. We believe that ILs can provide significant environmental and economic advantages for biochemical processes in the near future. Essentially, numerous investigations are required to allow us to further explore the stabilizing properties of ILs over proteins.
