Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 273:132700. [PMID: 38879998 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132700] [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: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Ocular disorders, encompassing both common ailments like dry eye syndrome and more severe situations for instance age-related macular degeneration, present significant challenges to effective treatment due to the intricate architecture and physiological barriers of the eye. Polysaccharides are emerging as potential solutions for drug delivery to the eyes due to their compatibility with living organisms, natural biodegradability, and adhesive properties. In this review, we explore not only the recent advancements in polysaccharide-based technologies and their transformative potential in treating ocular illnesses, offering renewed optimism for both patients and professionals but also anatomy of the eye and the significant obstacles hindering drug transportation, followed by an investigation into various drug administration methods and their ability to overcome ocular-specific challenges. Our focus lies on biological adhesive polymers, including chitosan, hyaluronic acid, cellulose, cyclodextrin, and poloxamer, known for their adhesive characteristics enhancing drug retention on ocular surfaces and increasing bioavailability. A detailed analysis of material designs used in ophthalmic formulations, such as gels, lenses, eye drops, nanofibers, microneedles, microspheres, and nanoparticles, their advantages and limitations, the potential of formulations in improving therapeutic outcomes for various eye conditions. Moreover, we underscore the discovery of novel polysaccharides and their potential uses in ocular drug delivery.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2024; 237:113855. [PMID: 38513298 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113855] [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: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
Local drug delivery has been exploited recently to treat hearing loss, as this method can both bypass the blood-labyrinth barrier and provide sustained drug release. Combined drug microcrystals (MCs) offer additional advantages for sensorineural hearing loss treatment via intratympanic (IT) injection due to their shape effect and combination strategy. In this study, to endow viscous effects of hydrogels, nonspherical dexamethasone (DEX) and lipoic acid (LA) MCs were incorporated into silk fibroin (SF) hydrogels, which were subsequently administered to the tympanic cavity to investigate their pharmaceutical properties. First, we prepared DEX and LA MCs by a traditional precipitation technique followed by SF hydrogel incorporation (SF+DEX+LA). After characterization of the physicochemical features, including morphology, rheology, and dissolution, both a suspension of combined DEX and LA MCs (DEX+LA) and SF+DEX+LA were administered to guinea pigs by IT injection, after which the pharmacokinetics, biodegradation and biocompatibility were evaluated. To our surprise, compared to the DEX+LA group, the pharmacokinetics of the SF+DEX+LA hydrogel group did not improve significantly, which may be ascribed to their nonspherical shape and deposition effects of the drugs MCs. The cochlear tissue in each group displayed good morphology, with no obvious inflammatory reactions. This combined MC suspension has the clear advantages of no vehicle, easy scale-up preparation, and good biocompatibility and outcomes, which paves the way for practical treatment of hearing loss via local drug delivery.

Abstract
Immune ophthalmopathy is a collection of autoimmune eye diseases. Immunosuppressants are drugs that can inhibit the body's immune response. Considering drug side effects such as hepatorenal toxicity and the unique structure of the eye, incorporating immunosuppressants into ophthalmic nanodrug delivery systems, such as microparticles, nanoparticles, liposomes, micelles, implants, and in situ gels, has the advantages of improving solubility, increasing bioavailability, high eye-target specificity, and reducing side effects. This study reviews recent research and applications of this aspect to provide a reference for the development of an ophthalmic drug delivery system.

Abstract
Chronic ocular diseases can seriously impact the eyes and could potentially result in blindness or serious vision loss. According to the most recent data from the WHO, there are more than 2 billion visually impaired people in the world. Therefore, it is pivotal to develop more sophisticated, long-acting drug delivery systems/devices to treat chronic eye conditions. This review covers several drug delivery nanocarriers that can control chronic eye disorders non-invasively. However, most of the developed nanocarriers are still in preclinical or clinical stages. Long-acting drug delivery systems, such as inserts and implants, constitute the majority of the clinically used methods for the treatment of chronic eye diseases due to their steady state release, persistent therapeutic activity, and ability to bypass most ocular barriers. However, implants are considered invasive drug delivery technologies, especially those that are nonbiodegradable. Furthermore, in vitro characterization approaches, although useful, are limited in mimicking or truly representing the in vivo environment. This review focuses on long-acting drug delivery systems (LADDS), particularly implantable drug delivery systems (IDDS), their formulation, methods of characterization, and clinical application for the treatment of eye diseases.

Abstract
Eyes are directly exposed to the outer environment and susceptible to infections, leading to various ocular disorders. Local medication is preferred to treat eye diseases due to its convenience and compliance. However, the rapid clearance of the local formulations highly limits the therapeutic efficacy. In the past decades, several carbohydrate bioadhesive polymers (CBPs), such as chitosan and hyaluronic acid, have been used in ophthalmology for sustained ocular drug delivery. These CBP-based delivery systems have improved the treatment of ocular diseases to a large extent but also caused some undesired effects. Herein, we aim to summarize the applications of some typical CBPs (including chitosan, hyaluronic acid, cellulose, cyclodextrin, alginate and pectin) in treating ocular diseases from the general view of ocular physiology, pathophysiology and drug delivery, and to provide a comprehensive understanding of the design of the CBP-based formulations for ocular use. The patents and clinical trials of CBPs for ocular management are also discussed. In addition, a discussion on the concerns of CBPs in clinical use and the possible solutions is presented.

Abstract
The clinical benefits of diquafosol tetrasodium (DQS), a hydrophilic P2Y2 receptor agonist for dry eye, have been hindered by a demanding dosing regimen. Nevertheless, it is challenging to achieve sustained release of DQS with conventional drug delivery vehicles which are mainly designed for hydrophobic small molecule drugs. To address this, we developed an affinity hydrogel for DQS by taking advantage of borate-mediated dynamic covalent complexation between DQS and hydroxypropyl guar. The resultant formulation (3% DQS Gel) was characterized by sustained release, low corneal permeation, and extended ocular retention, which were desirable attributes for ocular surface drug delivery. Both in vitro and in vivo studies had been carried out to verify the biocompatibility of 3% DQS Gel. Using corneal fluorescein staining, the Schirmer's test, PAS staining, quantitative PCR and immunohistological analyses as outcome measures, the superior therapeutic effects of 3% DQS Gel over PBS, the hydrogel vehicle and free DQS were demonstrated in a mouse dry eye model. Our DQS delivery strategy reported herein is readily applicable to other hydrophilic small molecule drugs with cis-diol moieties, thus providing a general solution to improve clinical outcomes of numerous diseases.

Abstract
Steroids (anti-inflammatory drugs) combined with antioxidants are frequently prescribed to treat cisplatin (CP)-induced hearing loss in the clinic. Compared to systemic administration of free drugs, local drug delivery systems offer better therapeutic qualities and patient compliance since they not only can bypass the blood-labyrinth barrier but also can perform sustained release. In this work, dexamethasone (DEX) and lipoic acid (LA) non-spherical microcrystals (MCs) were prepared without complicated chemical modification. Following a series of physical characterizations, including morphology, stability and injectability, dissolution and round window membrane distribution of MCs, DEX MCs, LA MCs and the simple mixture of DEX MCs + LA MCs (combination group) were administered in guinea pigs by intratympanic injection. We found that LA MCs enabled improvement of DEX absorption in the combination group compared to a single dose. In addition, no significant morphological changes or inflammatory responses were observed in cochlear tissue, indicating good biocompatibility. Finally, the combination group also demonstrated synergistic therapeutic effect for protecting hair cells against CP-induced damage. The local co delivery of DEX MCs and LA MCs offers a new strategy for the treatment of CP-induced inner ear injury since they provide sustained anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects simultaneously.

Abstract
It is important to achieve precise surface charge manipulation of non-spherical drug microcrystals using facile and time-efficient methods for local drug delivery. In this study, silk-coated dexamethasone (DEX) non-spherical microcrystals were synthesized by precipitation technique followed by alternate deposition of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) (or PAH-coated Fe3O4) and silk fibroin (SF) via layer-by-layer assembly. EDC and glutaraldehyde were employed to manipulate positive or negative charge of particles by simple chemical cross-linking reactions, respectively. In vivo assessment was carried out by intratympanic (IT) injection of DEX non-spherical microcrystals in guinea pigs. In vivo pharmacokinetic results demonstrate that negatively charged DEX microcrystals appeared to improve outcomes of inner ear delivery in comparison to positively-charged counterparts. This is partly because of the adhesive features of the SF. The present study may provide new ideas to construct surface charge-tunable drug delivery vehicles that are capable of crossing biological barriers, especially for inner ear delivery due to the simple and practical strategy.
