Nanoparticles of nucleotide-free analogue of vitamin B 12 formed in protein nanocarriers and their neuroprotective activity in vivo. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2024; 244:114165. [PMID: 39217725 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.114165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 08/16/2024] [Accepted: 08/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Recently, we have described the first supermolecular nanoentities of vitamin B12 derivative, viz. monocyano form of heptabutyl cobyrinate, unique nanoparticles with strong noncovalent intermolecular interactions, emerging optical and catalytic properties. Their nearest analogue, heptamethyl cobyrinate (ACCby), exhibits bioactivity. Here, we demonstrate the first example of the formation of nanoparticles of this nucleotide-free analogue of vitamin B12 in protein nanocarriers and neuroprotective activity in vivo of the own nanoform of the drug. The preparation and characterization of nanocarriers based on bovine serum albumin (BSA) loaded with vitamin B12 (viz. cyano- and aquacobalamins) and ACCby were performed. Nucleotide-free analogue of vitamin B12 is tightly retained by the protein structure and exists in an incorporated state in the form of nanoparticles. The effect of encapsulated drugs on the character and severity of primary generalized seizures in rats induced by the pharmacotoxicant thiosemicarbazide was studied. Cyanocobalamin and ACCby exhibited a neuroprotective effect. The best influence of the encapsulation on the effectiveness of the drugs was achieved in the case of AСCby, whose bioavailability as a neuroprotector did not change upon introduction in BSA particles, i.e., 33 % of surviving animals were observed upon ACCby administration in free form and in encapsulated state. No surviving rats were observed without the administration of drugs. Thus, BSA nanocarriers loaded by nanoparticles of nucleotide-free analogues of vitamin B12, including hydrophobic ones, can be recommended for neuroprotection and targeted delivery.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are structures that possess unique properties with high surface area-to-volume ratio. Their small size, up to 100 nm, and potential for surface modifications have enabled their use in a wide range of applications. Various factors influence the properties and applications of NPs, including the synthesis method and physical attributes such as size and shape. Additionally, the materials used in the synthesis of NPs are primary determinants of their application. Based on the chosen material, NPs are generally classified into three categories: organic, inorganic, and carbon-based. These categories include a variety of materials, such as proteins, polymers, metal ions, lipids and derivatives, magnetic minerals, and so on. Each material possesses unique attributes that influence the activity and application of the NPs. Consequently, certain NPs are typically used in particular areas because they possess higher efficiency along with tenable toxicity. Therefore, the classification and the base material in the NP synthesis hold significant importance in both NP research and application. In this paper, we discuss these classifications, exemplify most of the major materials, and categorize them according to their preferred area of application. This review provides an overall review of the materials, including their application, and toxicity.

Abstract
Water contamination by multiple pollutants is a serious environmental issue originating from the many diverse sources of pollution. It has worsened with the appearance of new contaminants, named emerging micropollutants, such as drug residues which are considered a potential threat to human health and/or ecosystems. These require prior treatment before release into the environment. Simultaneous adsorption and photocatalysis as well as solid-liquid separation are promising technologies for water treatment. In order to obtain low cost photoactive nanocomposites, porous and magnetic Fe3O4-hydroxyapatite (wFeHAp) nanocomposites were prepared by soft chemistry from the dissociation of natural phosphate into Ca2+ and H3PO4 precursors, further neutralized by ammonia in the presence of preformed Fe3O4 particles. The magnetic nanocomposites were characterized and examined as effective antibacterial agents. Fe3O4 association with apatite modifies the surface properties of the wFeHAp nanocomposite materials, yielding efficient antimicrobial activity for S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli and K. pneumoniae strains. The photocatalytic removal of ciprofloxacin (CPF) and oxytetracyclin (OXT) antibiotics in water was also evaluated. The wFeHAp nanocomposites adsorbed and degraded the selected antibiotics successfully. Toxicity evaluation of the treated water after photodegradation using the four strains demonstrates the absence of toxic by-products at the end of the reaction. Therefore, Fe3O4@HAp nanoparticles are valuable for antimicrobial and photocatalysis applications.

Abstract
Proteins and enzymes are versatile biomaterials for a wide range of medical applications due to their high specificity for receptors and substrates, high degradability, low toxicity, and overall good biocompatibility. Protein nanoparticles are formed by the arrangement of several native or modified proteins into nanometer-sized assemblies. In this review, we will focus on artificial nanoparticle systems, where proteins are the main structural element and not just an encapsulated payload. While under natural conditions, only certain proteins form defined aggregates and nanoparticles, chemical modifications or a change in the physical environment can further extend the pool of available building blocks. This allows the assembly of many globular proteins and even enzymes. These advances in preparation methods led to the emergence of new generations of nanosystems that extend beyond transport vehicles to diverse applications, from multifunctional drug delivery to imaging, nanocatalysis and protein therapy.

Abstract
Fagonia cretica L. is a tropical plant of family Zygophyllaceae with wide range of medicinally important secondary metabolites. The low cellular uptake of the polar compounds in the extract of the plant limits its biological application. In present study efficacy of F. cretica modified bioactive nano-formulations for in vitro modulation of TRAIL mediated extrinsic apoptotic pathway as cancer therapy was investigated. F. cretica methanolic extracts were formulated at nano-scale for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, albumin conjugation and liposomes encapsulation to enhance targeted bioactivity against cancer. Physical characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles was done by SEM, EDX and Zeta potential analyzer. In vitro cell viability assay MTT was done for MCF-7, Hep-2, HUH-7 and HCEC cell lines. Relative expression variation of the apoptotic pathway-associated genes was done by qRT-PCR. SEM revealed spherical shape of 56.62 ± 8.04, 143 ± 11.54 and 83.36 ± 38.73 nm size and zeta potential - 18.6, - 15.5 and - 18.3 mV for liposomes, silver and albumin nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles showed highest anticancer activity in vitro than albumin and liposomes nanoparticles with IC50 0.101 ± 0.004, 0.177 ± 0.03 and 0.434 ± 0.022 mg/mL in MCF-7, Hep-2 and HUH-7 respectively. F. cretica albumin and silver nanoparticles upregulated the in vitro TRAIL, DR4, DR5 and FADD gene expression at statistically significant levels in Hep-2 cell lines. Nano-formulations of F. cretica proved therapeutically important biomolecules in vitro. The hypothesized modulation of extrinsic apoptosis pathway genes through the plant nanoparticles proved novel medicinal options for effective treatment of cancer and enhancing the bioavailability of the active plant metabolites.

Abstract
Treatment of Ischemic Stroke is inordinately challenging due to its complex aetiology and constraints in shuttling therapeutics across blood-brain barrier. Ropinirole hydrochloride (Rp), a propitious neuroprotectant with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties (3A) is repurposed for remedying ischemic stroke and reperfusion (I/R) injury. The drug's low bioavailability in brain however, limits its therapeutic efficacy. The current research work has reported sub-100 nm gamma-L-Glutamyl-L-Cysteine coated Human Serum Albumin nanoparticles encapsulating Rp (C-Rp-NPs) for active targeting in ischemic brain to encourage in situ activity and reduce unwanted toxicities. Confocal microscopy and brain distribution studies confirmed the enhanced targeting potentiality of optimized C-Rp-NPs. The pharmacokinetics elucidated that C-Rp-NPs could extend Rp retention in systemic circulation and escalate bioavailability compared with free Rp solution (Rp-S). Additionally, therapeutic assessment in transient middle cerebral occlusion (tMCAO) model suggested that C-Rp-NPs attenuated the progression of I/R injury with boosted therapeutic index at 1000 times less concentration compared to Rp-S via reinstating neurological and behavioral deficits, while reducing ischemic neuronal damage. Moreover, C-Rp-NPs blocked mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mtPTP), disrupted apoptotic mechanisms, curbed oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, and elevated dopamine levels post tMCAO. Thus, our work throws light on fabrication of rationally designed C-Rp-NPs with enormous clinical potential.

Abstract
As a technique of producing fabric engineering scaffolds, three-dimensional (3D) printing has tremendous possibilities. 3D printing applications are restricted to a wide range of biomaterials in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Due to their biocompatibility, bioactiveness, and biodegradability, biopolymers such as collagen, alginate, silk fibroin, chitosan, alginate, cellulose, and starch are used in a variety of fields, including the food, biomedical, regeneration, agriculture, packaging, and pharmaceutical industries. The benefits of producing 3D-printed scaffolds are many, including the capacity to produce complicated geometries, porosity, and multicell coculture and to take growth factors into account. In particular, the additional production of biopolymers offers new options to produce 3D structures and materials with specialised patterns and properties. In the realm of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM), important progress has been accomplished; now, several state-of-the-art techniques are used to produce porous scaffolds for organ or tissue regeneration to be suited for tissue technology. Natural biopolymeric materials are often better suited for designing and manufacturing healing equipment than temporary implants and tissue regeneration materials owing to its appropriate properties and biocompatibility. The review focuses on the additive manufacturing of biopolymers with significant changes, advancements, trends, and developments in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering with potential applications.

Abstract
Albumin-based nanoparticles are an emerging platform for the delivery of various chemotherapeutics because of their biocompatibility, safety, and ease of surface modification for specific targeting. The most widely used method for the preparation of albumin nanoparticles is by desolvation process using glutaraldehyde (GLU) as a cross-linker. However, limitations of GLU like toxicity and interaction with drugs force the need for alternative cross-linkers. In the present study, several cross-linking systems were evaluated for the preparation of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) nanoparticles (ABNs) encapsulating Doxorubicin (Dox). Based on the results obtained from morphological characterization, in vitro release, and therapeutic efficacy in cells, N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP)-modified ABNs (ABN-SPDP) was chosen. Since ABN-SPDP are formed with disulfide linkage, the drug release is facilitated under a highly reducing environment present in the tumor sites. The cytotoxicity studies of those ABN-SPDP were performed in three different breast cell lines, highlighting the mechanism of cell death. The Dox-encapsulated ABN-SPDP showed toxicity in both the breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231), but, remarkably, a negligible effect was observed in non-tumoral MCF-10A cells. In addition to the hydrophilic Dox, this system could be used as a carrier for hydrophobic drugs like SN38. The system could be employed for the preparation of nanoparticles based on human serum albumin (HSA), which further enhances the feasibility of this system for clinical use. Hence, the albumin nanoparticles developed herein present an excellent potential for delivering various drugs in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Biodegradable natural polymers have been investigated extensively as the best choice for encapsulation and delivery of drugs. The research has attracted remarkable attention in the pharmaceutical industry. The shortcomings of conventional dosage systems, along with modified and targeted drug delivery methods, are addressed by using polymers with improved bioavailability, biocompatibility, and lower toxicity. Therefore, nanomedicines are now considered to be an innovative type of medication. This review critically examines the use of natural biodegradable polymers and their drug delivery systems for local or targeted and controlled/sustained drug release against fatal diseases.

Abstract
Development of novel therapeutic strategies to eradicate malignant tumors is of paramount importance in cancer research. In a recent study, we have introduced a facile protocol for the preparation of corrole-protein nanoparticles (NPs). These NPs consist of a corrole-core coated with protein. We now report that a novel lipophilic corrole, (2)Ga, delivered as human serum albumin (HSA)-coated NPs, displayed antineoplastic activity towards human prostate cancer DU-145 cells. Cryo-TEM analysis of these NPs revealed an average diameter of 50.2 ± 8.1 nm with a spherical architecture exhibiting low polydispersity. In vitro cellular uptake of (2)Ga/albumin NPs was attributable to rapid internalization of the corrole through ligand binding-dependent extracellular release and intercalation of the corrole cargo into the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane. This finding is in contrast with a previously reported study on corrole-protein NPs that displayed cellular uptake via endocytosis. Investigation of the non-light-induced mechanism of action of (2)Ga suggested the induction of necrosis through plasma membrane destabilization, impairment of calcium homeostasis, lysosomal stress and rupture, as well as formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). (2)Ga also exhibited potent light-induced cytotoxicity through ROS generation. These findings demonstrate a rapid cellular uptake of (2)Ga/protein NPs along with targeted induction of tumor cell necrosis.

Abstract
Angiogenesis plays a critical role within the human body, from the early stages of life (i.e., embryonic development) to life-threatening diseases (e.g., cancer, heart attack, stroke, wound healing). Many pharmaceutical companies have expended huge efforts on both stimulation and inhibition of angiogenesis. During the last decade, the nanotechnology revolution has made a great impact in medicine, and regulatory approvals are starting to be achieved for nanomedicines to treat a wide range of diseases. Angiogenesis therapies involve the inhibition of angiogenesis in oncology and ophthalmology, and stimulation of angiogenesis in wound healing and tissue engineering. This review aims to summarize nanotechnology-based strategies that have been explored in the broad area of angiogenesis. Lipid-based, carbon-based and polymeric nanoparticles, and a wide range of inorganic and metallic nanoparticles are covered in detail. Theranostic and imaging approaches can be facilitated by nanoparticles. Many preparations have been reported to have a bimodal effect where they stimulate angiogenesis at low dose and inhibit it at higher doses.

Abstract
Recently several scientific-technological advances in the health area have developed. Among them, we can highlight research addressing nanoscience and nanotechnology focusing on the development of formulations for the cancer treatment. This work describes the synthesis and characterization of bovine serum albumin (BSA) polyelectrolytic nanoparticles for controlled release using silicon dihydroxide phthalocyanine [SiPc (OH)2] as a photosensitizer model for application in Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). BSA nanoparticles were prepared by the one-step desolvation process and the nanoparticulate system was coated with polyelectrolytes using poly-(4-styrene sulfonate - PSS) as a strong polyanion and polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) as a weak polycation by the technique self-assembling layer-by-layer (LbL). The formulation was characterized and available in cellular culture. The profile of drug release was investigated and compared to that of free [SiPc (OH)2]. The nanoparticles have a mean diameter of 226.9 nm, a narrow size distribution with polydispersive index of 0.153, smooth surface and spherical shape. [SiPc(OH)2] loaded nanoparticles maintain its photophysical behaviour after encapsulation. The polyelectrolytic nanoparticles improved efficiency in release and photocytotoxicity assay when compared to pure drug. The results demonstrate that photosensitizer adsorption on BSA nanoparticles together with biopolymer layer-by-layer assembly provides a way to manufacture biocompatible nanostructured materials that are intended for use as biomaterials for Photodynamic Therapy applications.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death all over the world. The development of nanoplatform provides a promising strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. As the foundation of the nanoplatform, the composition of nanocarrier decides the basic properties. Protein exists in all kinds of life and participates in any life activities, having great potentials to serve as a nanocarrier because of its excellent biocompatibility, abundance of functional groups, and inherent biological activity. As a result, protein-based nanoplatforms have evoked extensive interests for tumor imaging and therapy. This review presents the latest progresses on the advancement of protein-based nanoplatforms, introducing the most common protein nanocarriers (such as human/bovine serum albumin, ferritin, human transferrin) thoroughly including their physiochemical properties and specific applications. Also, other kinds of protein are briefly involved. Finally, the prospects and challenges of the development of protein-based nanoplatforms are summarized. This article is categorized under: Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Protein and Virus-Based Structures Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Albumin Nano-Encapsulation of Piceatannol Enhances Its Anticancer Potential in Colon Cancer Via Downregulation of Nuclear p65 and HIF-1α. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12010113.

Abstract
Piceatannol (PIC) is known to have anticancer activity, which has been attributed to its ability to block the proliferation of cancer cells via suppression of the NF-kB signaling pathway. However, its effect on hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is not well known in cancer. In this study, PIC was loaded into bovine serum albumin (BSA) by desolvation method as PIC–BSA nanoparticles (NPs). These PIC–BSA nanoparticles were assessed for in vitro cytotoxicity, migration, invasion, and colony formation studies and levels of p65 and HIF-1α. Our results indicate that PIC–BSA NPs were more effective in downregulating the expression of nuclear p65 and HIF-1α in colon cancer cells as compared to free PIC. We also observed a significant reduction in inflammation induced by chemical colitis in mice by PIC–BSA NPs. Furthermore, a significant reduction in tumor size and number of colon tumors was also observed in the murine model of colitis-associated colorectal cancer, when treated with PIC–BSA NPs as compared to free PIC. The overall results indicate that PIC, when formulated as PIC–BSA NPs, enhances its therapeutic potential. Our work could prompt further research in using natural anticancer agents as nanoparticels with possible human clinical trails. This could lead to the development of a new line of safe and effective therapeutics for cancer patients.

Abstract
Antioxidants interact with free radicals, terminating the adverse chain reactions and converting them to harmless products. Antioxidants thus minimize the oxidative stress and play a crucial role in the treatment of free radicals-induced diseases. However, the effectiveness of natural and/or synthetic antioxidants is limited due to their poor absorption, difficulties to cross the cell membranes, and degradation during delivery, hence contributing to their limited bioavailability. To address these issues, antioxidants covalently linked with nanoparticles, entrapped in nanogel, hollow particles, or encapsulated into nanoparticles of diverse origin have been used to provide better stability, gradual and sustained release, biocompatibility, and targeted delivery of the antioxidants with superior antioxidant profiles. This review aims to critically evaluate the recent scientific evaluations of nanoparticles as the antioxidant delivery vehicles, as well as their contribution in efficient and enhanced antioxidant activities.

Abstract
Biologically stable 90Y-labelled albumin microspheres (AMS) were developed by optimizing the process of their preparation. Three formulations of 90Y-AMS were initially prepared with high radiolabelling yield but depending on the step when the radionuclide 90Y and DTPA chelator were added, radiolabelled microspheres with different in vitro and in vivo stability were obtained. DTPA was proved as a useful chelating agent that tightly links radionuclide 90Y to albumin. Also, AMS radiolabelled via DTPA during preparation and before microspheres stabilization, showed significant in vitro and in vivo stability ready for the potential use in selective internal radiation therapy.

Abstract
Decompression illness (DCI) is a complex clinical syndrome caused by supersaturation of respiratory gases in blood and tissues after abrupt reduction in ambient pressure. The resulting formation of gas bubbles combined with pulmonary barotrauma leads to venous and arterial gas embolism. Severity of DCI depends on the degree of direct tissue damage caused by growing bubbles or indirect cell injury by impaired oxygen transport, coagulopathy, endothelial dysfunction, and subsequent inflammatory processes. The standard therapy of DCI requires expensive and not ubiquitously accessible hyperbaric chambers, so there is an ongoing search for alternatives. In theory, perfluorocarbons (PFC) are ideal non-recompressive therapeutics, characterized by high solubility of gases. A dual mechanism allows capturing of excess nitrogen and delivery of additional oxygen. Since the 1980s, numerous animal studies have proven significant benefits concerning survival and reduction in DCI symptoms by intravenous application of emulsion-based PFC preparations. However, limited shelf-life, extended organ retention and severe side effects have prevented approval for human usage by regulatory authorities. These negative characteristics are mainly due to emulsifiers, which provide compatibility of PFC to the aqueous medium blood. The encapsulation of PFC with amphiphilic biopolymers, such as albumin, offers a new option to achieve the required biocompatibility avoiding toxic emulsifiers. Recent studies with PFC nanocapsules, which can also be used as artificial oxygen carriers, show promising results. This review summarizes the current state of research concerning DCI pathology and the therapeutic use of PFC including the new generation of non-emulsified formulations based on nanocapsules.

Abstract
This paper describes a new nuclear imaging agent, 2-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl)−1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid of human albumin (HAC), potentially suitable for application in the Radio-guided Occult Lesion Localization (ROLL) of non-palpable mammalian cancerous lesions, as a tool to overtake the short radio-signal half-life of the technetium-99m based radiopharmaceutical currently used. This conjugate is a microsized powder aggregate, water-insoluble between pH 3 and 8.5, obtained by conjugating the protein with the macrocyclic chelating agent DOTA through a one-pot reaction in aqueous medium. The product has been fully characterized and is stable to the thermal conditions adopted for labeling; after radiolabeling with longer half-life radionuclides such as 177Lu or 111In, it has shown radiochemical purity (RCP) >90% and resulted stable when stored in saline or plasma for 6 days at 37 °C. A μPET/CT study, performed in vivo on adult female rats, showed that the radioactivity of HAC labeled with 64Cu remained located in the mammary glands for at least 40 h, without diffusion or drainage in healthy tissues or in the lymphatic circulation. This new imaging agent might make the ROLL procedure more accessible, safe and flexible, promoting a significant time and cost reduction of this intervention. Moreover, HAC might also be used in other radio-guided surgical procedures in oncology.

Abstract
Flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) by fast mixing of drug-containing organic solvent and water in a microchamber is a powerful and scalable technology to produce solid drug nanoparticles with high payload. The embedded therapeutic drugs, however, are largely limited to hydrophobic small molecules. By transferring proteins into organic solvent via hydrophobic ion pairing, the scope of FNP applications is expanded. This platform technology is capable of producing protein nanoparticles with tunable sizes (from ≈30 nm to sub-micrometers), high-production scale (grams per hour), high drug loading efficiency (>90%), and excellent reproducibility, opening a new paradigm for formulation of biological pharmaceuticals. As a proof-of-concept, insulin nanoparticles are made to address a major medical challenge; oral administration. A relative insulin bioavailability of 13.2% is achieved, enabling sustained reduction of blood glucose levels in a diabetic rat model.

Abstract
Recent work has highlighted the potential of metallocorroles as versatile platforms for the development of drugs and imaging agents, since the bioavailability, physicochemical properties and therapeutic activity can be dramatically altered by metal ion substitution and/or functional group replacement. Significant advances in cancer treatment and imaging have been reported based on work with a water-soluble bis-sulfonated gallium corrole in both cellular and rodent-based models. We now show that cytotoxicities increase in the order Ga < Fe < Al < Mn < Sb < Au for bis-sulfonated corroles; and, importantly, that they correlate with metallocorrole affinities for very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), the main carrier of lipophilic drugs. As chemotherapeutic potential is predicted to be enhanced by increased lipophilicity, we have developed a novel method for the preparation of cell-penetrating lipophilic metallocorrole/serum-protein nanoparticles (NPs). Cryo-TEM revealed an average core metallocorrole particle size of 32 nm, with protein tendrils extending from the core (conjugate size is ~100 nm). Optical imaging of DU-145 prostate cancer cells treated with corrole NPs (≤100 nM) revealed fast cellular uptake, very slow release, and distribution into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes. The physical properties of corrole NPs prepared in combination with transferrin and albumin were alike, but the former were internalized to a greater extent by the transferrin-receptor-rich DU-145 cells. Our method of preparation of corrole/protein NPs may be generalizable to many bioactive hydrophobic molecules to enhance their bioavailability and target affinity.

Abstract
Aim: Investigated strategy exploits the utilization of quercetin as a chemosensitizer for docetaxel (DTX), which was incorporated into albumin nanoparticles (NPs; bovine serum albumin NPs [BSA–NPs]). Material & methods: BSA–NPs containing both drugs were optimized, extensively characterized for different quality attributes and performance was investigated using series of in vitro and in vivo investigations. Results: Co-encapsulated BSA–NPs exhibited size: 209.26 ± 9.84 nm, polydispersibility index: 0.184 ± 0.05 and good entrapment efficiency (∼75% for DTX and ∼68% for quercetin). Higher in vitro cytotoxicity, cell uptake and apoptosis were achieved in MCF-7 cell line. Similarly, higher P-glycoprotein efflux inhibition was observed in MDA-MB-231. About 2.5-fold increase in bioavailability of DTX was achieved with improved antitumor efficacy and reduced in vivo toxicity. Conclusion: Developed BSA–NPs provide an effective and safer alternative approach using co-delivery of chemosensitizer.

Abstract
From therapeutic delivery to sustainable packaging, manipulation of biopolymers into nanostructures imparts biocompatibility to numerous materials with minimal environmental pollution during processing. While biopolymers are appealing natural based materials, the lack of nanoparticle (NP) physicochemical consistency has decreased their nanoscale translation into actual products. Insights regarding the macroscale and nanoscale property variation of gelatin, one of the most common biopolymers already utilized in its bulk form, are presented. Novel correlations between macroscale and nanoscale properties were made by characterizing similar gelatin rigidities obtained from different manufacturers. Samples with significant differences in clarity, indicating sample purity, obtained the largest deviations in NP diameter. Furthermore, a statistically significant positive correlation between macroscale molecular weight dispersity and NP diameter was determined. New theoretical calculations proposing the limited number of gelatin chains that can aggregate and subsequently get crosslinked for NP formation were presented as one possible reason to substantiate the correlation analysis. NP charge and crosslinking extent were also related to diameter. Lower gelatin sample molecular weight dispersities produced statistically smaller average diameters (<75 nm), and higher average electrostatic charges (∼30 mV) and crosslinking extents (∼95%), which were independent of gelatin rigidity, conclusions not shown in the literature. This study demonstrates that the molecular weight composition of the starting material is one significant factor affecting gelatin nanoscale properties and must be characterized prior to NP preparation. Identifying gelatin macroscale and nanoscale correlations offers a route toward greater physicochemical property control and reproducibility of new NP formulations for translation to industry.

Abstract
This study described a curcumin (CUR) loaded bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA@CUR NPs), which could solubilize the poorly water-soluble drug and increase the therapeutic efficacy of the drug. BSA@CUR NPs were synthesized by a simple coacervation procedure. The resultant BSA@CUR NPs showed a spherical shape, with a diameter of 92.59±16.75nm (mean ± SD) nm and a ζ-potential of - 9.19mV. The in vitro drug release study of CUR showed a sustained and controlled release pattern. Cellular toxicity of BSA NPs was also investigated on HFF2 cell lines. Additionally, a hemolysis test of as prepared NPs were performed for investigation of hemocompatibility. Hemolysis assay and cytotoxicity study results on HFF-2 cell line show that as prepared BSA NPs are biocompatible. The in vitro anticancer activity of the BSA@CUR NPs were performed by MTT assay on MCF-7 cancer cells. These results suggest that BSA@CUR NPs are a new drug delivery system for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Bevacizumab-loaded nanoparticles (B-NP) were prepared by a desolvation process followed by freeze-drying, without any chemical, physical or enzymatic cross-linkage. Compared with typical HSA nanoparticles cross-linked with glutaraldehyde (B-NP-GLU), B-NP displayed a significantly higher mean size (310 nm vs. 180 nm) and a lower negative zeta potential (-15 mV vs. -36 mV). On the contrary, B-NP displayed a high payload of approximately 13% when measured by a specific ELISA, whereas B-NP-GLU presented a very low bevacizumab loading (0.1 μg/mg). These results could be related to the inactivation of bevacizumab after reacting with glutaraldehyde. From B-NP, bevacizumab was released following an initial burst effect, proceeded by a continuous release of bevacizumab at a rate of 6 μg/h. Cytotoxicity studies in ARPE cells were carried out at a single dose up to 72 h and with repeated doses over a 5-day period. Neither bevacizumab nor B-NP altered cell viability even when repeated doses were used. Finally, B-NP were labeled with 99mTc and administered as eye drops in rats. 99mTc-B-NP remained in the eye for at least 4 h while 99mTc-HSA was rapidly drained from the administration point. In summary, HSA nanoparticles may be an appropriate candidate for ocular delivery of bevacizumab.

Abstract
The study was designed to prepare and evaluate chitosan stabilized-albumin nanoparticles as NELL-1 protein carriers(Chi/NNPs). The Chi/NNPs were prepared by desolvation method and then stabilized by chitosan through electrostatic interaction. The Chi/NNPs were characterized for drug loading efficiency, surface morphology, particle size, surface charge. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled chitosan was used to confirm the homogeneity of chitosan coating on the BSA nanoparticles. The NELL-1 bioactivity of Chi/NNPs and the release kinetics were investigated in vitro. It was observed that the mean particle size with chitosan (0.075 wt%,0.15 wt%, 0.3 wt%, respectively) and the surface charge were 368.663 ± 15.470 nm, 382.881 ± 18.767 nm, 390.480 ± 11.465 nm and +25.03 ± 1.42 mV, +30.27 ± 1.80 mV, +31.03 ± 2.05 mV respectively. Drug entrapment efficiency ranged from 87.83% to 89.30%. The Chi/NNPs prepared with the 0.15 wt% chitosan were able to successfully control the release of NELL-1 and maintain a sustained release for up to 8 days. Furthermore, more than 82.67 ± 8.74% of the loaded protein's bioactivity was preserved in Chi/NNPs over the period of the investigation. Our findings suggest that Chi/NNPs as promising protein delivery nanocarriers have the ability to maintain sustained release kinetics and to preserve the bioactivity of released NELL-1.

Abstract
Due to the limited chemical stability of the natural hyperforin molecule, a more stable form of hyperforin, i.e., the hyperforin dicyclohexylammonium salt (HYP-DCHA) has been used for ex vivo and in vitro experiments in recent years, but its actual stability under typical cell culture conditions has never been studied before. In this contribution the stability of HYP-DCHA was examined under typical cell culture conditions. Different cell culture media with and without fetal calf serum (FCS) supplementation were studied with regard to further stabilization of HYP-DCHA determined with HPLC analysis. Furthermore, albumin nanoparticles were examined as a stabilizing carrier system for HYP-DCHA. In this context, the interaction between HYP-DCHA and albumin nanoparticles (ANP) was examined with regard to size and loading with HYP . The effects of HYP-DCHA either supplied in cell culture medium or loaded on ANP on viability and cytotoxicity were studied in vitro on HaCaT monolayers (human keratinocyte cell line). HYP-DCHA supplied in FCS-containing medium was recovered completely after 24h of incubation. However, a lack of FCS caused a total loss of HYP-DCHA after less than 24h incubation time. Supplying HYP-DCHA loaded on ANP in an FCS-free medium resulted in a recovery of about 60% after 24h incubation. HYP-DCHA supplied in medium along with FCS showed a slow dose-dependent decrease in viability of HaCaT cells without any cytotoxic effects (antiproliferative effect). Treatment with HYP-DCHA with a lack of FCS resulted in a significantly faster decrease in viability which was mainly due to cytotoxicity. The latter was true for HYP-DHCA-loaded ANP where increased cytotoxicity was observed despite the presence of FCS. The results show that the stability of the widely used HYP-DCHA is rather limited under cell culture conditions. Especially a lack of FCS leads to degradation and/or oxidation of HYP-DCHA probably causing an increased cytotoxicity. In contrast, FCS supplementation fairly stabilizes HYP-DCHA under cell culture conditions while albumin nanoparticles may serve the same stabilization purpose despite increasing cytotoxic effects onto the cells themselves.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the biggest impacts that the nanotechnology has made on medicine and biology, has been in the area of drug delivery systems (DDSs). Many drugs suffer from serious problems concerning insolubility, instability in biological environments, poor uptake into cells and tissues, sub-optimal selectivity for targets and unwanted side effects. Nanocarriers can be designed as DDSs to overcome many of these drawbacks. One of the most versatile building blocks to prepare these nanocarriers is the ubiquitous, readily available and inexpensive protein, serum albumin. Areas covered: This review covers the use of different types of albumin (human, bovine, rat, and chicken egg) to prepare nanoparticle and microparticle-based structures to bind drugs. Various methods have been used to modify the albumin structure. A range of targeting ligands can be attached to the albumin that can be recognized by specific cell receptors that are expressed on target cells or tissues. Expert opinion: The particular advantages of albumin used in DDSs include ready availability, ease of chemical modification, good biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity. The regulatory approvals that have been received for several albumin-based therapeutic agents suggest that this approach will continue to be successfully explored.

Abstract
Human Serum Albumin (HSA) is the most abundant plasma protein in human blood, and therefore, it is the material of choice for the development of particulate formulations due to its biodegradable and biocompatible nature. Over the last decade, HSA nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared mostly using desolvation techniques and evaluated as promising drug carriers. In addition, controlling the particle size has become a primary concern while formulating such nanoparticulate systems. Since many of these HSA-based carrier systems have often demonstrated batch-to-batch fabrication variability, significant efforts have been made to develop and characterize HSA-based NPs featuring a robust and controllable particle size, by using a desolvation/cross-linking-type Divinyl Sulfone (DVS)-mediated nanofabrication method. For this purpose and for global multi-parameter fabrication process optimization, a statistically significant Design of Experiment (DoE, MINITAB® 17 DoE software) methodology has been successfully implemented. It aimed to disclose an optimal set of HSA NP fabrication conditions in order to afford highly reproducible and stable 23.05 ± 5.3 nm-sized DoE-globally optimized core HSA NPs. Due to the use of bifunctional DVS as a cross-linker for the preparation of such DoE-optimized HSA NPs, their surface contains a variety of free functional groups which are available for further second step functional modifications. Moreover, related hybrid organic/inorganic nanosystems consisting of DoE-optimized HSA NPs that encapsulated hydrophilic (NH4)2Ce(IV)(NO3)6 (Ceric Ammonium Nitrate - CAN) modified γ-Fe2O3 NPs (CAN-maghemite or CAN-γ-Fe2O3 NPs), which enable medical imaging using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have also been fabricated and characterized. The resulting hybrid magnetic NPs are a quite powerful T2* contrast agent (r2* of 482 mM-1 s-1), which may be used as a powerful dual phase platform for both therapeutic (drug delivery) and diagnostic imaging (MRI) applications.

Abstract
Advances in the understanding of neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) biology and function have demonstrated that this receptor, primarily identified for the transfer of passive immunity from mother infant, is involved in several biological and immunological processes. In fact, FcRn is responsible for the long half-life of IgG and albumin in the serum, by creating an intracellular protein reservoir, which is protected from lysosomal degradation and, importantly, trafficked across the cell. Such discovery has led researchers to hypothesize the role for this unique receptor in the controlled delivery of therapeutic agents. A great amount of FcRn-based strategies are already under extensive investigation, in which FcRn reveals to have profound impact on the biodistribution and half-life extension of therapeutic agents. This review summarizes the main findings on FcRn biology, function and distribution throughout different tissues, together with the main advances on the FcRn-based therapeutic opportunities and model systems, which indicate that this receptor is a potential target for therapeutic regimen modification.

Abstract
Curcumin and its derivatives; curcuminoids have been proven as potential remedies in different diseases. However, their delivery carries several challenges owing to their poor aqueous solubility, photodegradation, chemical instability, poor bioavailability and rapid metabolism. This review explores and criticizes the numerous attempts that were adopted through the years to entrap/encapsulate this valuable drug in nanocarriers aiming to reach its most appropriate and successful delivery system.

Abstract
The formulation and characterization of gentamicin-loaded microspheres as a delivery system targeting enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 (E. coli K88) was investigated. Glycated albumin with lactose (BSA-glucose-β (4-1) galactose) was used as the microsphere matrix (MS-Lac) and gentamicin included as the transported antibiotic. The proposed target strategy was that exposed galactoses of MS-Lac could be specifically recognized by E. coli K88 adhesins, and the delivery of gentamicin would inhibit bacterial growth. Lactosylated microspheres (MS-Lac1, MS-Lac2 and MS-Lac3) were obtained using a water-in-oil emulsion, containing gentamicin, followed by crosslinking with different concentrations of glutaraldehyde. Electron microscopy displayed spherical particles with a mean size of 10–17 µm. In vitro release of gentamicin from MS-Lac was best fitted to a first order model, and the antibacterial activity of encapsulated and free gentamicin was comparable. MS-Lac treatments were recognized by plant galactose-specific lectins from Ricinus communis and Sophora japonica and by E. coli K88 adhesins. Results indicate MS-Lac1, produced with 4.2 mg/mL of crosslinker, as the best treatment and that lactosylated microsphere are promising platforms to obtain an active, targeted system against E. coli K88 infections.
