Int J Pharm 2024; 664:124567. [PMID: 39127173 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124567] [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: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 08/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Bacteria can evade antimicrobial therapy by hiding inside host cells such as macrophages. Here we examine the ability of PLGA nanoparticles to deliver antibiotics to intracellular bacteria, specifically focusing upon the impact of nanoparticle size. Different sized Rhodamine-B conjugated PLGA nanoparticles were synthesized and uptake examined in two macrophage cell lines, as well as different epithelial cells, to determine the optimal properties for macrophage uptake. These studies demonstrate macrophages display a consistent increase in uptake with increased PLGA nanoparticle diameter. In a bacteria-macrophage co-culture model, we then examined the efficacy of different sized antibiotic-loaded PLGA nanoparticles against intracellular infections with K. pneumoniae and S. aureus. Increasing the size of antibiotic-loaded PLGA nanoparticles significantly increased their potency against intracellular K. pneumoniae. However, this was not observed for S. aureus, potentially due to the observation these nanoparticles failed to access the compartment in which S. aureus reside. This work demonstrates for the first time that increasing the size of antibiotic-loaded PLGA nanoparticles can significantly enhance antimicrobial efficacy against K. pneumoniae intracellular macrophage infections. However, our S. aureus studies indicate this is not a 'one size fits all' approach for all intracellular infections.

Abstract
Targeting of current therapies to treat or prevent loss of pancreatic islet β-cells in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) may provide improved efficacy and reduce off target effects. Current efforts to target the β-cell are limited by a lack of β-cell specific targets and the inability to test multiple targeting moieties with the same delivery vehicle. Here we fabricate a novel tailorable polycaprolactone nanocapsule (NC) where multiple different targeting peptides can be interchangeably attached for β-cell specific delivery. Incorporation of a cationic surfactant in the NC shell allows for the attachment of Exendin-4 and an antibody for ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 3 (ENTPD3) for β-cell specific targeting. The average NC size ranges from 250-300nm with a polydispersity index under 0.2. The NCs are non-toxic, stable in media culture, and can be lyophilized and reconstituted. NCs coated with targeting peptide were taken up by human cadaveric islet β-cells and human stem cell-derived β-like cells (sBC) in vitro with a high level of specificity. Furthermore, NCs successfully delivered both hydrophobic and hydrophilic cargo to human β-cells. Finally, Exendin-4 coated NCs were stable and targeted the mouse pancreatic islet β-cell in vivo . Our unique NC design allows for the interchangeable coating of targeting peptides for future screening of targets with improved cell specificity. The ability to target and deliver thera-peutics to human pancreatic β-cells opens avenues for improved therapies and treatments to help the delay onset, prevent, or reverse T1D.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) nanogels are a versatile class of nanomaterials with specific properties, such as biocompatibility, hygroscopicity, and biodegradability. HA nanogels exhibit excellent colloidal stability and high encapsulation capacity, making them promising tools for a wide range of biomedical applications. HA nanogels can be fabricated using various methods, including polyelectrolyte complexation, self-assembly, and chemical crosslinking. The fabrication parameters can be tailored to control the physicochemical properties of HA nanogels, such as size, shape, surface charge, and porosity, enabling the rational design of HA nanogels for specific applications. Stimulus-responsive nanogels are a type of HA nanogels that can respond to external stimuli, such as pH, temperature, enzyme, and redox potential. This property allows the controlled release of encapsulated therapeutic agents in response to specific physiological conditions. HA nanogels can be engineered to encapsulate a variety of therapeutic agents, such as conventional drugs, genes, and proteins. They can then be delivered to target tissues with high efficiency. HA nanogels are still under development, but they have the potential to become powerful tools for a wide range of theranostic or solely therapeutic applications, including anticancer therapy, gene therapy, drug delivery, and bioimaging.

Abstract
Despite advances in new approaches for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy, intravenous chemotherapy remains one of the main treatment options; however, it has limitations associated with off-target toxicity, tumor cell resistance due to molecular complexity and CRC heterogeneity, which lead to tumor recurrence and metastasis. In oncology, nanoparticle-based strategies have been designed to avoid systemic toxicity and increase drug accumulation at tumor sites. Hyaluronic acid (HA) has obtained significant attention thanks to its ability to target nanoparticles (NPs) to CRC cells through binding to cluster-determinant-44 (CD44) and hyaluronan-mediated motility (RHAMM) receptors, along with its efficient biological properties of mucoadhesion. This review proposes to discuss the state of the art in HA-based nanoparticulate systems intended for localized treatment of CRC, highlighting the importance of the mucoadhesion and active targeting provided by this polymer. In addition, an overview of CRC will be provided, emphasizing the importance of CD44 and RHAMM receptors in this type of cancer and the current challenges related to this disease, and important concepts about the physicochemical and biological properties of HA will also be addressed. Finally, this review aims to contribute to the advancement of accuracy treatment of CRC by the design of new platforms based on by HA.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of a complex combination of proteins, proteoglycans, and other biomolecules. ECM-based materials have been demonstrated to have high biocompatibility and bioactivity, which may be harnessed for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. Herein, nanoparticles incorporating ECM-based materials and their applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering are reviewed. Proteins such as gelatin, collagen, and fibrin as well as glycosaminoglycans including hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and heparin have been employed for cancer therapeutic delivery, gene delivery, and wound healing and regenerative medicine. Strategies for modifying and functionalizing these materials with synthetic and natural polymers or to enable stimuli-responsive degradation and drug release have increased the efficacy of these materials and nano-systems. The incorporation and modification of ECM-based materials may be used to drive drug targeting and increase tissue-specific cell differentiation more effectively.

Abstract
Peptides can act as targeting molecules, analogously to oligonucleotide aptamers and antibodies. They are particularly efficient in terms of production and stability in physiological environments; in recent years, they have been increasingly studied as targeting agents for several diseases, from tumors to central nervous system disorders, also thanks to the ability of some of them to cross the blood-brain barrier. In this review, we will describe the techniques employed for their experimental and in silico design, as well as their possible applications. We will also discuss advancements in their formulation and chemical modifications that make them even more stable and effective. Finally, we will discuss how their use could effectively help to overcome various physiological problems and improve existing treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to perform an in vivo examination using a critical-size periodontal canine model to investigate the capability of a 3D-printed soft membrane for guided tissue regeneration (GTR). This membrane is made of a specific composition of gelatin, elastin, and sodium hyaluronate that was fine-tuned and fully characterized in vitro in our previous study. The value of this composition is its potential to be employed as a suitable replacement for collagen, which is the main component of conventional GTR membranes, to overcome the cost issue with collagen. METHODS Critical-size dehiscence defects were surgically created on the buccal surface of the roots of canine bilateral mandibular teeth. GTR treatment was performed with the 3D-printed membrane and two commercially available collagen membranes (Botiss Jason® and Smartbrane-Regedent membranes) and a group without any membrane placement was considered as the control group. The defects were submerged with tension-free closure of the gingival flaps. Histologic and histometric analyses were employed to assess the periodontal healing over an 8-week experimental period. RESULTS Histometric evaluations confirmed higher levels of new bone formation in the 3D-printed membrane group. Moreover, in all defects treated with the membranes, the formation of periodontal tissues, bone, periodontal ligaments, and cementum was observed after 8 weeks, while in the control group, only connective tissue was found in the defect sites. There was no clinical sign of inflammation or recession of gingiva in any of the groups. SIGNIFICANCE The 3D-printed gelatin/elastin/sodium hyaluronate membrane can be safe and effective for use in GTR for periodontal tissue regeneration therapies, with better or comparable results to the commercial collagen membranes.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox) is the standard chemotherapeutic agent for acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) treatment. However, 40% of Dox-treated AML cases relapsed due to the presence of leukemic stem cells (LSCs). Thus, poloxamer 407 and CKR- and EVQ-FLT3 peptides were used to formulate Dox-micelles (DMs) and DM conjugated with peptides (CKR and EVQ) for improving AML-LSC treatment. Results indicated that DMs with a weight ratio of Dox to P407 of 1:200 had a particle size of 23.3 ± 1.3 nm with a high percentage of Dox entrapment. They were able to prolong drug release and maintain physicochemical stability. Following effective DM preparation, P407 was modified and conjugated with FLT3 peptides, CKR and EVQ to formulate DM-CKR, DM-EVQ, and DM-CKR+DM-EVQ. Freshly synthesized DMs displaying FLT3 peptides showed particle sizes smaller than 50 nm and a high drug entrapment level, comparable with DMs. DM-CKR+DM-EVQ was considerably more toxic to KG-1a (AML LSC-like cell model) than Dox-HCl. These FLT3-targeted DMs could increase drug uptake and induce apoptosis induction. Due to an increase in micelle-LSC binding and uptake, DMs displaying both peptides tended to improve the potency of Dox compared to a single peptide-coupled micelle.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have a tremendous potential in medicinal applications, and recent studies have pushed the boundaries in nanotherapy, including in osteoarthritis treatments. The aim of this study was to develop new poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) surfaces decorated with hyaluronic acid (HA) to enhance targeted drug specificity to the osteoarthritic knee joint. HA was selected since it binds to specific receptors expressed in many cells, such as the cluster determinant 44 (CD44), a major receptor of chondrocytes, and because of its function in the synovial fluid (SF), such as maintenance of high fluid viscosity. The PLGA polymer was grafted to sodium hyaluronate using dimethoxy-PEG (PLGA-HA) and compared with control PLGA NPs (not grafted). NPs were characterized by 1H-NMR and IR spectroscopy. Then, near-infrared (NIR) dye and gold (20 nm) were encapsulated in the formulated NPs and used to access NPs’ performance in in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo experiments. To test the NPs’ CD44 receptor specificity, an antibody assay was performed. All NPs presented a size in the range viable for cell-uptake, no cytotoxicity to chondrocytes was registered. Although all the NPs had a high capacity to be absorbed by the cells, PLGA-HA NPs showed significantly higher affinity towards the chondrocytic C28/I2 cell line. In conclusion, PLGA NPs grafted to sodium hyaluronate showed increased binding to cartilage cells and tissue and enhanced accumulation at the target site. Thus, this study presents a safe drug-delivery system with improved receptor specificity, which may represent an advantageous alternative to current nanotherapies.

Abstract
To increase the in vivo stability of cationic gene carriers and avoid the adverse effects of their positive charge, we synthesized a new shielding material by conjugating low molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) to a hyaluronic acid (HA) core. The HA-PEG conjugate assembled with the positively charged complex, forming a protective layer through electrostatic interactions. DNA/polyetherimide/HA-PEG (DNA/PEI/HA-PEG) nanoparticles had higher stability than both DNA/polyethyleneimine (DNA/PEI) and DNA/PEI/HA complexes. Furthermore, DNA/PEI/HA-PEG nanoparticles also showed a diminished nonspecific response toward serum proteins in vivo. The in vivo transfection efficiency was also enhanced by the low cytotoxicity and the improved stability; therefore, this material might be promising for use in gene delivery applications.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a polysaccharide consisting of repeating disaccharides of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and d-glucuronic acid. There are increasing interests in utilizing self-assembled HA nanoparticles (HA-NPs) for targeted imaging and therapy. The principal endogenous receptor of HA, cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44), is overexpressed on many types of tumor cells as well as inflammatory cells in human bodies. Active targeting from HA-CD44 mediated interaction and passive targeting due to the enhanced permeability retention (EPR) effect could lead to selective accumulation of HA-NPs at targeted disease sites. This review focuses on the synthesis strategies of self-assembled HA-NPs, as well as their applications in therapy and biomedical imaging.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based biomaterials (e.g., chitosan, dextran, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate and heparin) have received great attention in healthcare, particularly in drug delivery for tumor therapy. They are naturally abundant and available, outstandingly biodegradable and biocompatible, and they generally have negligible toxicity and low immunogenicity. In addition, they are easily chemically or physically modified. Therefore, PSs-based nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively investigated for the enhancement of tumor treatment. In this review, we introduce the synthetic pathways of amphiphilic PS derivatives, which allow the constructs to self-assemble into NPs with various structures. We especially offer an overview of the emerging applications of self-assembled PSs-based NPs in tumor chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), gene therapy and immunotherapy. We believe that this review can provide criteria for a rational and molecular level-based design of PS-based NPs, and comprehensive insight into the potential of PS-based NPs used in multiple cancer therapies.

Abstract
In this study, a nanodrug carrier (mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-SS-cysteamine hydrochloride (CS)-hyaluronic acid (HA)) for targeted drug delivery was prepared using MSNs, in which HA was used as a targeting ligand and blocking agent to control drug release. Coumarin is a fluorescent molecule that targets mitochondria. Two conjugates (XDS-DJ and 5-FUA-4C-XDS) were synthesized by chemically coupling nitrogen mustard and 5-fluorouracil with coumarin, which was further loaded into MSN-SS-CS-HA nanocarriers. MTT analysis demonstrated that the nanocomposite MSN-SS-CS@5-FUA-4C-XDS/HA displayed stronger cytotoxicity toward HCT-116 cells than HeLa or QSG-7701 cells. Furthermore, MSN-SS-CS@5-FUA-4C-XDS/HA was able to target the mitochondria of HCT-116 cells, causing decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and excessive production of reactive oxygen species. These results indicate that MSN-SS-CS@5-FUA-4C-XDS/HA has the potential to be a nanodrug delivery system for the treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
Silk biomaterials are important for applications in biomedical fields due to their outstanding mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and tunable biodegradation. Chemical functionalization of silk by various chemistries can be leveraged to enhance and tune these features and enable the expansion of silk-based biomaterials into additional fields. Sugars are particularly relevant for intracellular communication, signal transduction events, as well as in hydrated extracellular matrices such as in cartilage, vitreous, and brain tissues. Multiple reaction pathways are demonstrated (carboxylation of serines followed by carbodiimide coupling with glucosamine, carboxylation of tyrosines followed by carbodiimide coupling with glucosamine; direct carbodiimide coupling of the inherent carboxylic acids of silk (aspartic and glutamic acid) with glucosamine) for the covalent conjugation of glucosamine onto silk with characterization by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR), liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS), water contact angle (WCA), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results indicate that different pathways substitute different amounts of glucosamine onto silk chains, with control over resulting material properties, including hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity and biological responses. The aqueous processability of these conjugates into functional material formats (films, sponges) is assessed. These new classes of bio-inspired materials can lead to multifunctional biomaterials for potential applications in different fields of biomedical engineering.

Abstract
Hydrogels are an important class of biomaterials with the unique property of high-water content in a crosslinked polymer network. In particular, chemically crosslinked hydrogels have made a great clinical impact in past years because of their desirable mechanical properties and tunability of structural and chemical properties. Various polymers and step-growth crosslinking chemistries are harnessed for fabricating such covalently crosslinked hydrogels for translational research. However, selecting appropriate crosslinking chemistries and polymers for the intended clinical application is time-consuming and challenging. It requires the integration of polymer chemistry knowledge with thoughtful crosslinking reaction design. This task becomes even more challenging when other factors such as the biological mechanisms of the pathology, practical administration routes, and regulatory requirements add additional constraints. In this review, key features of crosslinking chemistries and polymers commonly used for preparing translatable hydrogels are outlined and their performance in biological systems is summarized. The examples of effective polymer/crosslinking chemistry combinations that have yielded clinically approved hydrogel products are specifically highlighted. These hydrogel design parameters in the context of the regulatory process and clinical translation barriers, providing a guideline for the rational selection of polymer/crosslinking chemistry combinations to construct hydrogels with high translational potential are further considered.

Abstract
β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) was grafted onto hyaluronic acid (HA) in a single step to generate a supramolecular biopolymer (HA-β-CD) that was explored for targeted drug delivery applications. Along with its excellent biocompatibility, the prepared HA-β-CD exhibits not only exceptionally high loading capacity for the model drugs doxorubicin and Rhodamine B through the formation of inclusion complexes with the β-CD component, but also the capability of targeted drug delivery to cancerous cells with a high level of expression of CD44 receptors, attributable to its HA component. The polymer can release the drug under slightly acidic conditions. With all its attributes, HA-β-CD may be a promising cancer-cell-targeting drug carrier.

Abstract
Site-selective uptake and specific biodistribution of chemotherapeutic drugs are essential prerequisites for targeted cancer therapy. Especially, antibody and peptide conjugated drugs have been attempted as localized therapeutic agents. However, the characteristics of drug conjugated nanosystems are less explored, which are limited with their toxicity, low therapeutic efficacy, complicated synthesis, and high costs. Herein, we report a biocompatible (about 95%) molecularly engineered anticancer drug conjugated nanomicelles (∼200 nm in size) for site-selective CD44 overexpressed cancer cell rupture and tumor growth inhibition. Microscopic analysis demonstrates the distinct visualization of organic-organic interfaces (∼5 nm), which are corroborated with spectroscopic measurements confirmed the conjugation of niclosamide drug with hyaluronic acid (NIC-HA). Uniformly distributed hemocompatible (about 99%) organic nanomicelles exhibit the cellular membrane and cytoplasmic targeting with significant cellular rupture (IC50 of 4 μM for MDA MB 231 cells) indicating their inherent targeting ability for cancer cells and cancer stem cells. An inclusive in vitro and in vivo analysis for targeted antitumor activity (HT1080 tumor xenograft model) of NIC-HA nanoconjugates (∼24.6% loading) exhibited promising cancer cell death and tumor growth inhibition (60%, p < 0.05) due to STAT-3 signaling pathway inhibition and induction of apoptosis in CD44-positive triple negative breast cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Presently, identifying natural compounds as emulsifiers is a popular topic in the food industry. Rapeseed protein isolate (RPI) is a natural plant protein with excellent emulsifying properties, but it has not been systematically developed and utilized. RESULTS This study investigated the surface hydrophobicity, wettability, and protein solubility of RPI to further explain its emulsifying behavior in emulsion systems. Nanoemulsions stabilized by RPI at varying protein concentration, pH, and ionic strength were prepared. The size distribution, zeta potential, flocculation index, creaming index, microstructure, rheology, and protein secondary structure of emulsions were measured. The emulsion stabilized by 20 g L-1 RPI at pH 10.0, 200 mmol L-1 ionic strength revealed an appropriate droplet size of 555 nm and the most internal gel strength without creaming phenomenon. Circular dichroism spectroscopy showed a positive correlation between emulsion stability and α-helix ratio, indicating the environment factors affected emulsion stability by acting on its hydrogen bonds. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that RPI is a practical emulsifier for stabilizing nanoemulsions. About 20 g L-1 RPI can stabilize 100 mL L-1 oil in water; stable emulsions can be formed at most pH conditions (except 7.0); ion addition will aggravate the emulsion flocculation, but also increase the internal gel strength. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This research focused on the aim of tackling the urgent demand of printable biomaterials, hence we synthetized and characterized three gellan gum-graft-poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) copolymers (GGm-PLGA a, b and c) which differed in the graft substitution degree. We investigated the effect of the polyester chain grafted onto hydrophilic backbone of gellan gum in terms of physicochemical properties and the ability of the system to print 3D cell laden constructs. In particular, we evaluated thermo-rheological, ionotropic crosslinking, shear thinning, swelling and stability properties of these copolymers and their derived biomaterials and findings related to the degree of functionalization. Moreover, the optimization of the 3D process parameters and the effect of different water/DPBS mixtures was investigated, demonstrating the feasibility of the system to print 3D constructs. Finally, biological tests revealed that fibroblasts and chondrocytes remained viable after printing and over a culture period of seven days into scaffolds.

Abstract
The study was focused on the evaluation of two copolymers as micellar carriers for kaempferol delivery. The copolymers comprised identical hydrophilic blocks of poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and different hydrophobic blocks of either poly(ε-caprolactone) (PDMAEMA9-b-PCL70-b-PDMAEMA9) or poly(propylene oxide) (PDMAEMA13-b-PPO69-b-PDMAEMA13). The calculation of Flory-Huggins parameters and determination of encapsulation efficiency showed that PDMAEMA-b-PCL-b-PDMAEMA copolymer possessed higher capacity for kaempferol loading. The diameter of the micelles before and after lyophilization was not changed, suggesting that the micelles could be lyophilized and redispersed before administration. The in vitro release of kaempferol from PDMAEMA-b-PPO-b-PDMAEMA micelles was faster than the release from PDMAEMA-b-PCL-b-PDMAEMA micelles, probably due to the higher affinity of kaempferol to this copolymer. Further, the higher affinity resulted in a retention of antioxidant activity of kaempferol in the presence of DPPH and KO2 radicals. Thus, PDMAEMA-PCL-PDMAEMA was considered more appropriate carrier because of the higher encapsulation efficiency and preservation of antioxidant activity of the drug.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural mucopolysaccharide and has many useful advantages, including biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity, chemical versatility, non-toxicity, biodegradability, and high hydrophilicity. Numerous tumor cells overexpress several receptors that have a high binding affinity for HA, while these receptors are poorly expressed in normal body cells. HA-based drug delivery carriers can offer improved solubility and stability of anticancer drugs in biological environments and allow for the targeting of cancer treatments. Based on these benefits, HA has been widely investigated as a promising material for developing the advanced clinical cancer therapies in various formulations, including nanoparticles, micelles, liposomes, and hydrogels, combined with other materials. We describe various approaches and findings showing the feasibility of improvement in theragnosis probes through the application of HA.

Abstract
In recent years, nano drug delivery system has been widely concerned because of its good therapeutic effect. However, the process from blood circulation to cancer cell release of nanodrugs will be eliminated by the human body's own defense trap, thus reducing the therapeutic effect. In recent years, a "3S" transition concept, including stability transition, surface transition and size transition, was proposed to overcome the barriers in delivery process. Hyaluronic (HA) acid has been widely used in delivery of anticancer drugs due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and specific targeting to cancer cells. In this paper, the strategies and methods of HA-based nanomaterials using "3S" theory are reviewed. The applications and effects of "3S" modified nanomaterials in various fields are also introduced.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Curcumin (CUR) is a general ingredient of traditional Chinese medicine, which has potential antitumor effects. However, its use clinically has been limited due to its low aqueous solubility and bioavailability. In order to improve the therapeutic effect of CUR on osteosarcoma (i.e., bone cancer), a multifunctional micelle was developed here by combining active bone accumulating ability with tumor CD44 targeting capacity. METHODS The CUR loaded micelles were self-assembled by using alendronate-hyaluronic acid-octadecanoic acid (ALN-HA-C18) as an amphiphilic material. The obtained micelles were characterized for size and drug loading. In addition, the in vitro release behavior of CUR was investigated under PBS (pH 5.7) medium containing 1% Tween 80 at 37℃. Furthermore, an hydroxyapatite (the major inorganic component of bone) affinity experiment was studied. In vitro antitumor activity was evaluated. Finally, the anti-tumor efficiency was studied. RESULTS The size and drug loading of the CUR loaded ALN-HA-C18 micelles were about 118 ± 3.6 nm and 6 ± 1.2%, respectively. CUR was released from the ALN-HA-C18 micelles in a sustained manner after 12 h. The hydroxyapatite affinity experiment indicated that CUR loaded ALN-HA-C18 micelles exhibited a high affinity to bone. CUR loaded ALN-HA-C18 micelles exhibited much higher cytotoxic activity against MG-63 cells compared to free CUR. Finally, CUR loaded ALN-HA-C18 micelles effectively delayed anti-tumor growth properties in osteosarcoma bearing mice as compared with free CUR. CONCLUSION The present study suggested that ALN-HA-C18 is a novel promising micelle for osteosarcoma targeting and delivery of the hydrophobic anticancer drug CUR.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been widely investigated in cancer therapy due to its excellent characteristics. HA, which is a linear anionic polymer, has biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-immunogenicity, non-inflammatory, and non-toxicity properties. Various HA nanomedicines (i.e., micelles, nanogels, and nanoparticles) can be prepared easily using assembly and modification of its functional groups such as carboxy, hydroxy and N-acetyl groups. Nanometer-sized HA nanomedicines can selectively deliver drugs or other molecules into tumor sites via their enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. In addition, HA can interact with overexpressed receptors in cancer cells such as cluster determinant 44 (CD44) and receptor for HA-mediated motility (RHAMM) and be degraded by a family of enzymes called hyaluronidase (HAdase) to release drugs or molecules. By interaction with receptors or degradation by enzymes inside cancer cells, HA nanomedicines allow enhanced targeting cancer therapy. In this article, recent studies about HA nanomedicines in drug delivery systems, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, diagnostics (because of the high biocompatibility), colloidal stability, and cancer targeting are reviewed for strategies using micelles, nanogels, and inorganic nanoparticles.

Abstract
The objective of present study was to explore whether polysaccharide could be employed as potential crystal growth inhibitor and provides synergistic effect on the supersaturation maintaining of lovastatin (LOV) in combination of nucleation inhibitor. Soluplus (SOL) and hyaluronic acid (HA) were selected as the most effective nucleation and crystal growth inhibitor respectively. The interaction between SOL and HA was elucidated via characterizing the particle size, zeta potential, surface hydrophobicity, solvent relaxation time (T2) and FT-IR. The supersaturated drug solution was spray dried into amorphous solid dispersion, then, the in vitro release, moisture uptake and physical stability were investigated. The synergistic effect between SOL and HA was dependent on drug concentration, drug/carrier and SOL/HA weight ratio, which facilitated both in vitro and in vivo performance. It was disclosed that HA could insert into SOL structure providing both electrostatic and steric stabilization. In conclusion, the combination of nucleation and crystal growth inhibitors is a promising approach for supersaturated drug delivery system.

Abstract
In recent years, biomacromolecules have been widely used in anti-tumor delivery systems due to the biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, their applications are limited due to the lack of specific targeting. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural polysaccharide and presents in extracellular matrix and synovial fluid which can specifically recognize receptors over-expressed by tumor cells. In addition, they can self-assemble into nanoparticles. HA nanoparticles provide new hierarchical targeting strategies: passively targeting tumor tissue by enhanced permeability and retention effect, actively targeting tumor cells by cluster determinant 44 (CD44) receptor, and then entering cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis. In this review, the synthesis of HA nanoparticles is described in detail from several aspects and applications are also discussed for improving the delivery of hydrophobic drugs, nucleic acids and photosensitizers into the tumor cells. In addition, the modification of HA for improving the targeting and drug releasing characteristics are also discussed.

Abstract
In this work, we investigate whether S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO)-conjugated hyaluronic acid-based self-assembled nanoparticles (GSNO-HANPs) can be useful as a chemosensitizing agent to improve the anticancer activity of doxorubicin (DOX). The GSNO-HANPs were prepared by aqueous assembly of GSNO-conjugated HA with grafted poly(lactide- co-glycolide). Aqueous GSNO stability shielded within the assembled environments of the GSNO-HANPs was greatly enhanced, compared to that of free GSNO. The NO release from the GSNO-HANPs was facilitated in the presence of hyaluronidase-1 (Hyal-1) and ascorbic acid at intracellular concentrations. Microscopic analysis showed GSNO-HANPs effectively generated NO within the cells. We observed that NO made the human MCF-7 breast cancer cells vulnerable to DOX. This chemosensitizing activity was supported by the observation of an increased level of ONOO- (peroxynitrite), a highly reactive oxygen species, upon co-treatment with the GSNO-HANPs and DOX. Apoptosis assays showed that GSNO-HANP alone exhibited negligible cytotoxic effects and reinforced apoptotic activity of DOX. Animal experiments demonstrated the effective accumulation of GSNO-HANPs in solid MCF-7 tumors and effectively suppressed tumor growth in combination with DOX. This hyaluronic acid-based intracellularly NO-releasing nanoparticles may serve as a significant chemosensitizing agent in treatments of various cancers.

Abstract
In recent years scientific community has drawn a great deal of attention towards understanding the enigma of cluster of differentiation-44 (CD44) in order to deliver therapeutic agents more selectively towards tumor tissues. Moreover, its over-expression in variety of solid tumors has attracted drug delivery researchers to target this receptor with nanomedicines. Conventional nanomedicines based on biodegradable polymers such as poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) are often associated with insufficient cellular uptake by cancer cells, due to lack of active targeting moiety on their surface. Therefore, to address this limitation, CD44 targeted PLGA nanomedicines has gained considerable interest for enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents. In this review, we have elaborately discussed the recent progress in the design and synthesis of CD44 targeted PLGA nanomedicines used to improve tumor-targeted drug delivery. We have also discussed strategies based on co-targeting of CD44 with other targeting moieties such as folic acid, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2), monoclonal antibodies using PLGA based nanomedicines.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is among the most important bioactive polymers in mammals, playing a key role in a number of biological functions. In the last decades, it has been increasingly studied as a biomaterial for drug delivery systems, thanks to its physico-chemical features and ability to target and enter certain cells. The most important receptor of HA is ‘Cluster of Differentiation 44’ (CD44), a cell surface glycoprotein over-expressed by a number of cancers and heavily involved in HA endocytosis. Moreover, CD44 is highly expressed by keratinocytes, activated macrophages and fibroblasts, all of which can act as ‘reservoirs’ for intracellular pathogens. Interestingly, both CD44 and HA appear to play a key role for the invasion and persistence of such microorganisms within the cells. As such, HA is increasingly recognised as a potential target for nano-carriers development, to pursuit and target intracellular pathogens, acting as a ‘Trojan Horse’. This review describes the biological relationship between HA, CD44 and the entry and survival of a number of pathogens within the cells and the subsequent development of HA-based nano-carriers for enhancing the intracellular activity of antimicrobials.

Abstract
Curcumin is a polyphenol that exhibits several biological activities, but its low aqueous solubility results in low bioavailability. To improve curcumin bioavailability, this study has focused on developing a polyelectrolyte complexation method to form layer-by-layer assembled nanoparticles, for curcumin delivery, with positively charged chitosan (CS) and negatively charged acylated cruciferin (ACRU), a rapeseed globulin. Nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared from ACRU and CS (2:1) at pH 5.7. Three samples with weight of 5%, 10%, and 15% of curcumin, respectively, in ACRU/CS carrier were prepared. To verify the stability of the NPs, encapsulation efficiency and size of the 5% Cur-ACRU/CS NPs were determined at intervals of 5 days in a one month period. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry confirmed the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond formation between the carrier and core. The result showed that hollow ACRU/CS nanocapsules (ACRU/CS NPs) and curcumin-loaded ACRU/CS nanoparticles (Cur-ACRU/CS NPs) were homogenized spherical with average sizes of 200-450 nm and zeta potential of +15 mV. Encapsulation and loading efficiencies were 72% and 5.4%, respectively. In vitro release study using simulated gastro (SGF) and intestinal fluids (SIF) showed controlled release of curcumin in 6 h of exposure. Additionally, the Cur-ACRU/CS NPs are nontoxic to cultured Caco-2 cells, and the permeability assay indicated that Cur-ACRU/CS NPs had improved permeability efficiency of free curcumin through the Caco-2 cell monolayer. The findings suggest that ACRU/CS NPs can be used for encapsulation and delivery of curcumin in functional foods.

Abstract
The use of drug-eluting stents (DESs) is a promising strategy for non-vascular diseases, especially human biliary cancer. However, the implementation of DESs suffers from two major obstacles: the side effects of drugs and the difficulty of controlling the drug release. These problems can be overcome if the stent elutes targeting nanoparticles that release drugs at time intervals that are dictated by the mechanisms of those drugs. We designed temporally controlled polymeric multi-prodrug nanoparticles (TCMPNs) that can be eluted from stents comprising polyurethane (PU) nanofiber as a polymeric matrix and paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded, CD44-targeting, hyaluronic acid-conjugated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and gemcitabine (GEM) (P-H-G). TCMPNs enable two different types of drugs to be released temporally; PTX is released first owing to the collapse of the structure in the endosomes, and GEM, which induces synergistic anticancer activities, is hydrolyzed from P-H-G later in response to low pH. Embedded in the PU nanofiber, the TCMPNs demonstrate low initial burst behavior and sustainable release of the prodrug in vitro. Furthermore, TCMPN-eluting stents (TESs) exhibit continuous synergistic efficacy as available targeted cellular uptake prodrug delivery systems in tumor-bearing mice. These results demonstrate that this technology will open up cancer therapy by combining localized delivery and functional multi-drug-loaded nanoparticles.

Abstract
The cluster-determinant 44 (CD44) receptor has a high affinity for hyaluronic acid (HA) binding and is a desirable receptor for active targeting based on its overexpression in cancer cells compared with normal body cells. The nanocarrier affinity can be increased by conjugating drug-loaded carriers with HA, allowing enhanced cancer cell uptake via the HA-CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway. In this review, we discuss recent advances in HA-based nanocarriers and micelles for cancer therapy. In vitro and in vivo experiments have repeatedly indicated HA-based nanocarriers to be a target-specific drug and gene delivery platform with great promise for future applications in clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
In the last 20years, the availability of precision chemical tools (e.g. controlled/living polymerizations, 'click' reactions) has determined a step change in the complexity of both the macromolecular architecture and the chemical functionality of biodegradable polyesters. A major part in this evolution has been played by the possibilities that controlled macromolecular branching offers in terms of tailored physical/biological performance. This review paper aims to provide an updated overview of preparative techniques that derive hyperbranched, dendritic, comb, grafted polyesters through polycondensation or ring-opening polymerization mechanisms.
