Biswal AK, Saha S. Prolonging food shelf-life by dual actives release from multi-layered polymer particles. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2018; 175:281-290.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymer based 'controlled release packaging' technology has ability to release packaging actives in controlled manner to prolong the food shelf-life. Currently available systems are not sufficiently capable of releasing multiple actives in sustainable fashion. Hence, the purpose of this study was to develop dual actives (antioxidant and antibacterial) loaded multilayered microparticles in one step and to release them at rates suitable for long-term inhibition of bacterial growth as well as lipid oxidation in food. In order to achieve this goal, 2 kinds of multilayered polymer particles made up of PLLA (Poly(l-lactic acid)) and PLGA (Poly(dl-lactic-co-glycolic acid) with varying viscosity were developed using emulsion solvent evaporation method. Surprisingly, low viscous PLGA resulted tri-layered particles (PLGA/PLLA/PLGA: shell/middle/core) instead of bi-layered (PLGA/PLLA: shell/core) particles as observed for high viscous PLGA. The mechanism of formation of tri-layered particles was investigated in detail. The outermost layer consisted of relatively more hydrophilic polymer PLGA along with benzoic acid (antibacterial) and the inner core comprised of hydrophobic polymer PLLA and tocopherol (antioxidant). Release study demonstrated that release rate of dual actives were significantly accelerated from tri-layered particles in comparison to bi-layered one and their release profiles can be well explained with the help of Ridger-Peppas model. Both sets of particles exhibited long-term antibacterial (against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) as well as antioxidant effect over a period of 60 days. The results show for the first time the feasibility of using multilayered microparticles to prolong the food shelf-life by simultaneous release of multiple actives.

Abstract
With the advancement in medical science and understanding the importance of biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of therapeutic agents, modern drug delivery research strives to utilize novel materials and fabrication technologies for the preparation of robust drug delivery systems to combat acute and chronic diseases. Compared to traditional drug carriers, which could only control the release of the agents in a monotonic manner, the new drug carriers are able to provide a precise control over the release time and the quantity of drug introduced into the patient's body. To achieve this goal, scientists have introduced "programmed" and "on-demand" approaches. The former provides delivery systems with a sophisticated architecture to precisely tune the release rate for a definite time period, while the latter includes systems directly controlled by an operator/practitioner, perhaps with a remote device triggering/affecting the implanted or injected drug carrier. Ideally, such devices can determine flexible release pattern and intensify the efficacy of a therapy via controlling time, duration, dosage, and location of drug release in a predictable, repeatable, and reliable manner. This review sheds light on the past and current techniques available for fabricating and remotely controlling drug delivery systems and addresses the application of new technologies (e.g. 3D printing) in this field.

Abstract
Development of smart bioactive scaffolds is of importance in tissue engineering, where cell proliferation, differentiation and migration within scaffolds can be regulated by the interactions between cells and scaffold through the use of growth factors (GFs) and extra cellular matrix peptides. One challenge in this area is to spatiotemporally control the dose, sequence and profile of release of GFs so as to regulate cellular fates during tissue regeneration. This challenge would be addressed by rate-programming of nano-particulate delivery systems, where the release of GFs via polymeric nanoparticles is controlled by means of the methods of, such as externally-controlled and physicochemically/architecturally-modulated so as to mimic the profile of physiological GFs. Identifying and understanding such factors as the desired release profiles, mechanisms of release, physicochemical characteristics of polymeric nanoparticles, and externally-triggering stimuli are essential for designing and optimizing such delivery systems. This review surveys the recent studies on the desired release profiles of GFs in various tissue engineering applications, elucidates the major release mechanisms and critical factors affecting release profiles, and overviews the role played by the mathematical models for optimizing nano-particulate delivery systems. Potentials of stimuli responsive nanoparticles for spatiotemporal control of GF release are also presented, along with the recent advances in strategies for spatiotemporal control of GF delivery within tissue engineered scaffolds. The recommendation for the future studies to overcome challenges for developing sophisticated particulate delivery systems in tissue engineering is discussed prior to the presentation of conclusions drawn from this paper.

Mechanism of drug release from double-walled PDLLA(PLGA) microspheres. Biomaterials 2013; 34:3902-11.

Abstract
The drug release and degradation behavior of two double-walled microsphere formulations consisting of a doxorubicin-loaded poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) core (∼46 kDa) surrounded by a poly(d,l-lactic acid) (PDLLA) shell layer (∼55 and 116 kDa) were examined. It was postulated that different molecular weights of the shell layer could modulate the erosion of the outer coating and limit the occurrence of water penetration into the inner drug-loaded core on various time scales, and therefore control the drug release from the microspheres. For both microsphere formulations, the drug release profiles were observed to be similar. The degradation of the microspheres was monitored for a period of about nine weeks and analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, laser scanning confocal microscopy, and gel permeation chromatography. Interestingly, both microsphere formulations exhibited occurrence of bulk erosion of PDLLA on a similar time scale despite different PDLLA molecular weights forming the shell layer. The shell layer of the double-walled microspheres served as an effective diffusion barrier during the initial lag phase period and controlled the release rate of the hydrophilic drug independent of the molecular weight of the shell layer.

Abstract
Triple-layered microparticles comprising poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide, 50:50) (PLGA), poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate, 40 wt.% vinyl acetate) (EVA) were fabricated using a one-step solvent evaporation technique, with ibuprofen drug localized in the EVA core. The aim of this study was to investigate the drug release profiles of these triple-layered microparticles in comparison to double-layered (PLLA/EVA and PLGA/EVA) (shell/core) and single-layered EVA microparticles. Double- and triple-layered microparticles were shown to eliminate burst release otherwise observed for single-layered microparticles. For triple-layered microparticles, the migration of acidic PGA oligomers from the PLGA shell accelerated the degradation of the PLLA mid-layer and subsequently enhanced drug release in comparison to double-layered PLLA/EVA microparticles. Further studies showed that drug release rates can be altered by changing the layer thicknesses of the triple-layered microparticles, and through specific tailoring of layer thicknesses, a zero-order release can be achieved. This study therefore provides important mechanistic insights into how the distinctive structural attributes of triple-layered microparticles can be tuned to control the drug release profiles.

Abstract
Modern drug discovery technologies are discovering more and more potent therapeutic agents with narrow therapeutic windows, thus necessitating the improvement of current particulate drug delivery systems. Conventional single-layered polymeric particles have limited control over drug release profiles, including burst release, the inability to provide zero-order, pulsatile, time-delayed release and controlled release of multiple drugs. In an attempt to better control drug release kinetics, the development of multilayered microparticles has been introduced. In this review, we give an overview of the fabrication and characterization techniques of multilayered polymeric microparticles. We also focus on the one-step solvent evaporation technique, and the key process parameters in this technique that affect the formation of microparticle configurations. In addition, the benefits and challenges of multilayered microparticulate system for drug delivery were discussed. This review intends to portray how distinctive structural attributes and degradation behaviors of multilayered microparticles can be exploited to fine-tune drug release profiles and kinetics.

Abstract
Microencapsulates with defined core-shell structures are of interest for applications, such as controlled release and encapsulation, because of the feasibility of fine-tuning individual functionalities of different parts. Here, we report a new approach for efficient and scalable production of such particles. Eudragit RS (a co-polymer of ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and a low content of methacrylic acid ester with quaternary ammonium groups) was used as the main shell component, with silica as the core component, formed upon a single-step spray-drying assembly. The method is capable of forming uniform core-shell particles from homogeneous precursors without the use of any organic solvents. Evaporation-induced self-assembly attained the phase separation among different components during drying, resulting in the core-shell spatial configuration, while precise control over particle uniformity was accomplished via a microfluidic jet spray dryer. Direct control over shell thickness can be achieved from the ratio of the core and shell ingredients in the precursors. A fluorescent compound, rhodamine B, is used as a highly water-soluble model component to investigate the controlled release properties of these microencapsulates, with the release behaviors shown to be significantly dependent upon their architectures.
