Abstract
Insulin is recognized as a crucial weapon in managing diabetes. Subcutaneous (s.c.) injections are the traditional approach for insulin administration, which usually have many limitations. Numerous alternative (non-invasive) slants through different routes have been explored by the researchers for making needle-free delivery of insulin for attaining its augmented absorption as well as bioavailability. The current review delineating numerous pros and cons of several novel approaches of non-invasive insulin delivery by overcoming many of their hurdles. Primary information on the topic was gathered by searching scholarly articles from PubMed added with extraction of data from auxiliary manuscripts. Many approaches (discussed in the article) are meant for the delivery of a safe, effective, stable, and patient friendly administration of insulin via buccal, oral, inhalational, transdermal, intranasal, ocular, vaginal and rectal routes. Few of them have proven their clinical efficacy for maintaining the glycemic levels, whereas others are under the investigational pipe line. The developed products are comprising of many advanced micro/nano composite technologies and few of them might be entering into the market in near future, thereby garnishing the hopes of millions of diabetics who are under the network of s.c. insulin injections.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 16:46. [PMID: 38258057 PMCID: PMC10819542 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16010046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of oral insulin drug delivery systems is still an ongoing challenge for pharmaceutical technology researchers, as the formulation process has to overcome a number of obstacles due to the adverse characteristics of peptides. The aim of this study was to formulate different sodium-alginate microparticles as a possible method for oral insulin administration. In our previous studies, the method has been successfully optimized using a small model peptide. The incorporation of insulin into alginate carriers containing nonionic surfactants has not been described yet. In order to enhance the absorption of insulin through biological barriers, Labrasol ALF and Labrafil M 2125 CS were selected as permeation-enhancing excipients. They were applied at a concentration of 0.10% (v/v%), along with various combinations of the two, to increase oral bioavailability. Encapsulation efficiency showed sufficient drug incorporation, as it resulted in over 80% in each composition. In vitro dissolution and enzymatic stability test results proved that, as a pH-responsive polymer, alginate bead swelling and drug release occur at higher pH, thus protecting insulin against the harsh environment of the gastrointestinal tract. The remaining insulin content was 66% due to SIF degradation after 120 min. Permeability experiments revealed the impact of permeation enhancers and natural polymers on drug absorption, as they enhanced drug transport significantly through Caco-2 cells in the case of alginate microparticle formulations, as opposed to the control insulin solution. These results suggest that these formulations are able to improve the oral bioavailability of insulin.

Abstract
The biomedical use of nanoparticles (NPs) has been the focus of intense research for over a decade. As most NPs are explored as carriers to alter the biodistribution, pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of associated drugs, the delivery of these NPs to the tissues of interest remains an important topic. To date, the majority of NP delivery studies have used tumor models as their tool of interest, and the limitations concerning tumor targeting of systemically administered NPs have been well studied. In recent years, the focus has also shifted to other organs, each presenting their own unique delivery challenges to overcome. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in leveraging NPs to overcome four major biological barriers including the lung mucus, the gastrointestinal mucus, the placental barrier, and the blood-brain barrier. We define the specific properties of these biological barriers, discuss the challenges related to NP transport across them, and provide an overview of recent advances in the field. We discuss the strengths and shortcomings of different strategies to facilitate NP transport across the barriers and highlight some key findings that can stimulate further advances in this field.

Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus is characterized by a hyperglycemic condition which can either be caused by the destruction of the beta cells or by the resistance developed against insulin in the cells. Insulin is a peptide hormone that regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus needs the use of Insulin for efficient management. However invasive methods of administration may lead to reduced adherence by the patients. Hence there is a need for a non-invasive method of administration. Oral Insulin has several merits over the conventional method including patient compliance, and reduced cost, and it also mimics endogenous insulin and hence reaches the liver by the portal vein at a higher concentration and thereby showing improved efficiency. However oral Insulin must pass through several barriers in the gastrointestinal tract. Some strategies that could be utilized to bypass these barriers include the use of permeation enhancers, absorption enhancers, use of suitable polymers, use of suitable carriers, and other agents. Several formulation types have been explored for the oral delivery of Insulin like hydrogels, capsules, tablets, and patches which have been described briefly by the article. A lot of attempts have been made for developing oral insulin delivery however none of them have been commercialized due to numerous shortcomings. Currently, there are several formulations from the companies that are still in the clinical phase, the success or failure of some is yet to be seen in the future.

Abstract
The complexation of polyelectrolytes with other oppositely charged structures gives rise to a great variety of functional materials with potential applications in a wide spectrum of technological fields. Depending on the assembly conditions, polyelectrolyte complexes can acquire different macroscopic configurations such as dense precipitates, nanosized colloids and liquid coacervates. In the past 50 years, much progress has been achieved to understand the principles behind the phase separation induced by the interaction of two oppositely charged polyelectrolytes in aqueous solutions, especially for symmetric systems (systems in which both polyions have similar molecular weight and concentration). However, in recent years, the complexation of polyelectrolytes with alternative building blocks such as small charged molecules (multivalent inorganic species, oligopeptides, and oligoamines, among others) has gained attention in different areas. In this review, we discuss the physicochemical characteristics of the complexes formed by polyelectrolytes and multivalent small molecules, putting a special emphasis on their similarities with the well-known polycation-polyanion complexes. In addition, we analyze the potential of these complexes to act as versatile functional platforms in various technological fields, such as biomedicine and advanced materials engineering.

Abstract
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are prominent scaffolds for drug developments and related research, particularly the endocytic delivery of biomacromolecules. Effective cargo release from endosomes prior to lysosomal degradation is a crucial step, where the rational design and selection of CPPs remains a challenge and calls for deeper mechanistic understandings. Here, we have investigated a strategy of designing CPPs that selectively disrupt endosomal membranes based on bacterial membrane targeting sequences (MTSs). Six synthesized MTS peptides all exhibit cell-penetrating abilities, among which two d-peptides (d-EcMTS and d-TpMTS) are able to escape from endosomes and localize at ER after entering the cell. The utility of this strategy has been demonstrated by the intracellular delivery of green fluorescent protein (GFP). Together, these results suggest that the large pool of bacterial MTSs may be a rich source for the development of novel CPPs.

Abstract
Physiologic pH is vital for the normal functioning of tissues and varies in different parts of the body. The varying pH of the body has been exploited to design pH-sensitive smart oral, transdermal and vaginal drug delivery systems (DDS). The DDS demonstrated promising results in hard-to-treat diseases such as cancer and Helicobacter pylori infection. In some cases, a change in pH of tissues or body fluids has also been employed as a useful diagnostic biomarker. This paper aims to comprehensively review the development and applications of pH-sensitive DDS as well as recent advances in the field.

Abstract
Subcutaneous administration of insulin has been practiced for the clinical supervision of diabetes pathogenesis but it is often ineffective to imitate the glucose homeostasis and is always invasive. Therefore, it causes patient discomfort and infection of local tissue. These issues lead to finding an alternative route for insulin delivery that could be effective, promising, and non-invasive. However, delivery of insulin orally is the most suitable route but the rapid breakdown of insulin by the gastrointestinal enzymes becomes a major barrier to this method. Therefore, nanocarriers (which guard insulin against degradation and facilitate its uptake) are preferred for oral insulin delivery. Among various categories of nanocarriers, bio-polymeric nanocarriers draw special attention owing to their hydrophilic, non-toxic, and biodegradable nature. This review provides a detailed overview of insulin-loaded biopolymer-based nanocarriers, which give future direction in the optimization and development of a clinically functional formulation for their effective and safe delivery.

Abstract
There is a current lack of fully efficient therapies for diabetes mellitus, a chronic disease where the metabolism of blood glucose is severely hindered by a deficit in insulin or cell resistance to this hormone. Therefore, it is crucial to develop new therapeutic strategies to treat this disease, including devices for the controlled delivery of insulin or encapsulation of insulin-producing cells. In this work, fucoidan (Fu) - a marine sulfated polysaccharide exhibiting relevant properties on reducing blood glucose and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects - was used for the development of versatile carriers envisaging diabetes advanced therapies. Fu was functionalized by methacrylation (MFu) using 8% and 12% (v/v) of methacrylic anhydride and further photocrosslinked using visible light in the presence of triethanolamine and eosin-y to produce hydrogel particles. Degree of methacrylation varied between 2.78 and 6.50, as determined by 1HNMR, and the produced particles have an average diameter ranging from 0.63 to 1.3 mm (dry state). Insulin (5%) was added to MFu solution to produce drug-loaded particles and the release profile was assessed in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) for 24 h. Insulin was released in a sustained manner during the initial 8 h, reaching then a plateau, higher in PBS than in SIF, indicating that lower pH favors drug liberation. Moreover, the ability of MFu particles to serve as templates for the culture of human pancreatic cells was assessed using 1.1B4 cell line during up to 7 days. During the culture period studied, pancreatic beta cells were proliferating, with a global viability over 80% and tend to form pseudo-islets, thus suggesting that the proposed biomaterial could be a good candidate as versatile carrier for diabetes treatment as they sustain the release of insulin and support pancreatic beta cells viability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common metabolic disease and multifactorial, harming patients worldwide. Extensive research has been carried out in the search for novel drug delivery systems offering reliable control of glucose levels for diabetics, aiming at efficient management of DM. AREAS COVERED Polymeric micelles (PMs) as smart drug delivery nanocarriers are discussed, focusing on oral drug delivery applications for the management of hyperglycemia. The most recent approaches used for the preparation of smart PMs employ molecular features of amphiphilic block copolymers (ABCs), such as stimulus sensitivity, ligand conjugation, and as a more specific example the ability to inhibit islet amyloidosis. EXPERT OPINION PMs provide a unique platform for self-regulated or spatiotemporal drug delivery, mimicking the working mode of pancreatic islets to maintain glucose homeostasis for prolonged periods. This unique characteristic is achieved by tailoring the functional chemistry of ABCs considering the physicochemical traits of PMs, including sensing capabilities, hydrophobicity, etc. In addition, the application of ABCs for the inhibition of conformational changes in islet amyloid polypeptide garnered attention as one of the root causes of DM. However, research in this field is limited and further studies at the clinical level are required.

Abstract
Microenvironment-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) can achieve targeted drug delivery, reduce drug side effects and improve drug efficacies. Among them, pH-responsive DDSs have gained popularity since the pH in the diseased tissues such as cancer, bacterial infection and inflammation differs from a physiological pH of 7.4 and this difference could be harnessed for DDSs to release encapsulated drugs specifically to these diseased tissues. A variety of synthetic approaches have been developed to prepare pH-sensitive DDSs, including introduction of a variety of pH-sensitive chemical bonds or protonated/deprotonated chemical groups. A myriad of nano DDSs have been explored to be pH-responsive, including liposomes, micelles, hydrogels, dendritic macromolecules and organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles, and micron level microspheres. The prodrugs from drug-loaded pH-sensitive nano DDSs have been applied in research on anticancer therapy and diagnosis of cancer, inflammation, antibacterial infection, and neurological diseases. We have systematically summarized synthesis strategies of pH-stimulating DDSs, illustrated commonly used and recently developed nanocarriers for these DDSs and covered their potential in different biomedical applications, which may spark new ideas for the development and application of pH-sensitive nano DDSs.

Abstract
Hydrogels are biocompatible polymer systems, which have become a hotspot in biomedical research. As hydrogels mimic the structure of natural extracellular matrices, they are considered as good scaffold materials in the tissue engineering area for repairing dental pulp and periodontal damages. Combined with different kinds of stem cells and growth factors, various hydrogel complexes have played an optimistic role in endodontic and periodontal tissue engineering studies. Further, hydrogels exhibit biological effects in response to external stimuli, which results in hydrogels having a promising application in local drug delivery. This review summarized the advances of hydrogels in oral science research, in the hopes of providing a reference for future applications.

Abstract
Engineering of colloidal particles and capsules despite substantial progress is still facing a number of unsolved issues including low loading capacity, non-uniform size and shape of carriers, tailoring different functionalities and versatility to encapsulated cargo. In this work, we propose a method for defined-shaped functionally asymmetric polymer capsule fabrication based on a soft lithography approach. The developed capsules consist of two classes of polymers - the main part "cup" is made out of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PAH-PSS) and "lid" is made of biodegradable polyether (PLGA). Asymmetric capsules combine advantages from both traditional layer-by-layer capsules and recently developed printed "pelmeni" capsules. This combination provides stimuli-responsiveness due to polyelectrolyte multilayer properties differing from PLGA. The inner volume of capsules can be loaded with a variety of active compounds and the capsule's geometry is defined due to the soft-lithography method. Capsules have a core-shell structure and monodisperse size distribution. Three methods to trigger cargo release have been demonstrated, namely temperature treatment, ultrasonication and pH shift. Steroidal drug dexamethasone was used to illustrate the applicability of the systems for triggered drug release. The application of proposed asymmetric capsules includes but is not limited to pharmacology, diagnostics, sensors, micro- and nanoreactors and chemical actuators.

Abstract
In the past decade, microneedle-based drug delivery systems showed promising approaches to become suitable and alternative for hypodermic injections and can control agent delivery without side effects compared to conventional approaches. Despite these advantages, the procedure of microfabrication is facing some difficulties. For instance, drug loading method, stability of drugs, and retention time are subjects of debate. Besides, the application of novel refining fabrication methods, types of materials, and instruments are other issues that need further attention. Herein, we tried to summarize recent achievements in controllable drug delivery systems (microneedle patches) in vitro and in vivo settings. In addition, we discussed the influence of delivered drugs on the cellular mechanism and immunization molecular signaling pathways through the intradermal delivery route. Understanding the putative efficiency of microneedle patches in human medicine can help us develop and design sophisticated therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
The design of carriers for insulin delivery has recently attracted major research attentions in the biomedical field. In general, the release of drug from polymers is driven via a variety of polymers. Several mechanisms such as matrix release, leaching of drug, swelling, and diffusion are usually adopted for the release of drug through polymers. Insulin is one of the most predominant therapeutic drugs for the treatment of both diabetes mellitus; type-I (insulin-dependent) and type II (insulin-independent). Currently, insulin is administered subcutaneously, which makes the patient feel discomfort, pain, hyperinsulinemia, allergic responses, lipodystrophy surrounding the injection area, and occurrence of miscarried glycemic control. Therefore, significant research interest has been focused on designing and developing new insulin delivery technologies to control blood glucose levels and time, which can enhance the patient compliance simultaneously through alternative routes as non-invasive insulin delivery. The aim of this review is to emphasize various non-invasive insulin delivery mechanisms including oral, transdermal, rectal, vaginal, ocular, and nasal. In addition, this review highlights different smart stimuli-responsive insulin delivery systems including glucose, pH, enzymes, near-infrared, ultrasound, magnetic and electric fields, and the application of various polymers as insulin carriers. Finally, the advantages, limitations, and the effect of each non-invasive route on insulin delivery are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most serious public health problems in the world. Repeated daily injections of subcutaneous insulin is the standard treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus; however, subcutaneous insulin injections can potentially cause local discomfort, patient noncompliance, hypoglycemia, failure to regulate glucose homeostasis, infections, and fat deposits at the injection sites. In recent years, numerous attempts have been made to produce safe and efficient nanoparticles for oral insulin delivery. Oral administration is considered the most effective alternative route to insulin injection, but it is accompanied by several challenges related to enzymatic proteolysis, digestive breakdown, and absorption barriers. A number of natural and synthetic polymeric, lipid-based, and inorganic nanoparticles have been investigated for use. Although improvements have recently been made in potential oral insulin delivery systems, these require further investigation before clinical trials are conducted. In this review, new approaches to oral insulin delivery for diabetes treatment are discussed, including polymeric, lipid-based, and inorganic nanoparticles, as well as the clinical trials performed for this purpose.

Abstract
It’s of great significance to develop insulin-loaded dissolving microneedles (MNs) which are fabricated with various methods and materials for transdermal delivery of insulin to effectively and efficiently treat diabetes. In this work, we present a kind of FITC-insulin tip-loaded dissolving MNs fabricated with the mixture of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sucrose using homemade PDMS MNs mold under vacuum conditions. The uniform appearance of MN arrays contributes to controlling the drug dosage well as required. Sufficient mechanical strength for penetrating tough stratum corneum can be obtained by vacuum frozen-drying for at least 6 h after peeling MNs off the mold. About 90% of the FITC-insulin is localized in the conical MN tips and can be released into the skin within 2 min after insertion. The in vivo insulin absorption study and hypoglycemic effect in diabetic mice demonstrate that the proposed insulin-loaded MNs can efficiently deliver the insulin to the systemic circulation and exhibit a similar effect to hypodermic injection on hypoglycemic administration. Together these results suggested that the efficient MN fabrication process proposed in this work shows great potential for mass production and practical application of drug-loaded dissolving MNs in the future.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is found to be among the most suffered and lethal diseases for mankind. Diabetes mellitus type-1 is caused by the demolition of pancreatic islets responsible for the secretion of insulin. Insulin is the peptide hormone (anabolic] that regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Upon the breakdown of the natural process of metabolism, the condition leads to hyperglycemia (increased blood glucose levels]. Hyperglycemia demands outsourcing of insulin. The subcutaneous route was found to be the most stable route of insulin administration but faces patient compliance problems. Oral Insulin delivery systems are the patient-centered and innovative novel drug delivery system, eliminating the pain caused by the subcutaneous route of administration. Insulin comes in contact across various barriers in the gastrointestinal tract, which has been discussed in detail in this review. The review describes about the different bioengineered formulations, including microcarriers, nanocarriers, Self-Microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDs), Self-Nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDs), polymeric micelles, cochleates, etc. Surface modification of the carriers is also possible by developing ligand anchored bioconjugates. A study on evaluation has shown that the carrier systems facilitate drug encapsulation without tampering the properties of insulin. Carrier-mediated transport by the use of natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic polymers have shown efficient results in drug delivery by protecting insulin from harmful environment. This makes the formulation readily acceptable for a variety of populations. The present review focuses on the properties, barriers present in the GI tract, overcome the barriers, strategies to formulate oral insulin formulation by enhancing the stability and bioavailability of insulin.

Abstract
Theranostic platforms that combine therapy with diagnosis not only prevent the undesirable biological responses that may occur when these processes are conducted separately, but also allow individualized therapies for patients. Polymer hydrogels have been employed to provide well-controlled drug release and targeted therapy in theranostics, where injectable hydrogels enable non-invasive treatment and monitoring with a single injection, offering greater patient comfort and efficient therapy. Efforts have been focused on applying injectable polymer hydrogels in theranostic research and clinical use. This review highlights recent progress in the design of injectable polymer hydrogels for cancer theranostics, particularly focusing on the elements/components of theranostic hydrogels, and their cross-linking strategies, structures, and performance with regard to drug delivery/tracking. Therapeutic agents and tracking modalities that are essential components of the theranostic platforms are introduced, and the design strategies, properties and applications of the injectable hydrogels developed via two approaches, namely chemical bonds and physical interactions, are described. The theranostic functions of the platforms are highly dependent on the architecture and components employed for the construction of hydrogels. Challenges currently presented by theranostic platforms based on injectable hydrogels are identified, and prospects of acquiring more comfortable and personalized therapies are proposed.

Abstract
Proteins and peptides are widely used in various areas including pharmaceutical, health, food, textile and biofuel industries. At present, pharmaceutical proteins and peptides have attracted the attention of many researchers. These types of drugs are superior to chemical drugs in many ways so that every year the number of drugs with a protein or peptide moiety is increasing. Due to high performance and low side effects, the demand for these drugs has increased year by year. The beginning of the protein and peptide drug industry dates back to 1982 with the introduction of the protein hormone insulin into the field of treatment. From this year onwards, a new number of protein and peptide drugs have entered the field of treatment every year. In this article, we focus on human therapeutic insulin. First, the history of the hormone will be introduced, then-current methods for insulin therapy will be discussed and finally, the treatments by this hormone in the future will be pointed. Reading this article would be very helpful for nano researchers, biochemists, organic chemists, material scientists and other people who are interested in soft and hard matters interfaces.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungIn der Behandlung des Typ-1-Diabetes ist die Therapie mit Insulin auch 100 Jahre nach seiner Entdeckung weiterhin eine lebensnotwendige Therapie. Der pharmakologische Fortschritt hat die Behandlung erheblich erleichtert und nähert sich der physiologischen Insulin-Sekretion zunehmend an. In der Behandlung des Typ-2-Diabetes hingegen ist die Insulin-Therapie bei den meisten Patienten zunächst nicht notwendig. Lebensstil-Interventionen und moderne Nicht-Insulin Antidiabetika können häufig zu einer lang andauernden Kontrolle der Erkrankung führen. Die Heterogenität des Typ-2-Diabetes führt jedoch dazu, dass einige Patienten früh von einer Insulin-Therapie profitieren. Auch beim Typ-2-Diabetes können moderne Insulin Präparate die Insulin-Behandlung deutlich erleichtern, auch in Kombination mit anderen Antidiabetika. Einleitung und Begleitung einer Insulin-Therapie gehören somit weiterhin zu den Kernaufgaben der Diabetologie.

Abstract
Protein aggregation is a widespread process leading to deleterious consequences in the organism, with amyloid aggregates being important not only in biology but also for drug design and biomaterial production. Insulin is a protein largely used in diabetes treatment, and its amyloid aggregation is at the basis of the so-called insulin-derived amyloidosis. Here, we uncover the major role of zinc in both insulin dynamics and aggregation kinetics at low pH, in which the formation of different amyloid superstructures (fibrils and spherulites) can be thermally induced. Amyloid aggregation is accompanied by zinc release and the suppression of water-sustained insulin dynamics, as shown by particle-induced x-ray emission and x-ray absorption spectroscopy and by neutron spectroscopy, respectively. Our study shows that zinc binding stabilizes the native form of insulin by facilitating hydration of this hydrophobic protein and suggests that introducing new binding sites for zinc can improve insulin stability and tune its aggregation propensity.

Abstract
A novel insulin composite delivery system was prepared and characterized. The composite consisted of a pH- and temperature-sensitive hydrogel, which is an oligomer serine-b-poly(lactide)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(lactide)-b-oligomer serine (OS-PLA-PEG-PLA-OS) pentablock copolymer, as matrix and chitosan-insulin electrosprayed nanospheres (CIN) as constituent materials. The properties of the OS-PLA-PEG-PLA-OS pentablock copolymer and the chitosan-insulin nanoparticles were characterized. The chitosan-insulin nanospheres uniformly distributed in the matrix had a reinforcing effect on the mechanical properties and prolonged the degradation time of the hydrogel depot under body conditions. The composite solutions accommodating different concentrations of the chitosan-insulin nanospheres were subcutaneously injected into induced diabetic BALB/c mice to study the in vivo insulin-release profile. The result showed that insulin concentrations in blood plasma were maintained at a steady-state level. Furthermore, the bio-properties of the insulin were retained and it showed a blood glucose level reducing effect for more than 60 hours after injection to a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mouse model. The results suggested that this injectable pH-temperature sensitive hydrogel containing chitosan-insulin electrosprayed nanosphere composites has promising potential applications for type 1 diabetes treatment.

Abstract
Herein, poly[quaternized 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-b-lauryl methacrylate-b-(oligo ethylene glycol)methacrylate] (QPDMAEMA-b-PLMA-b-POEGMA) cationic amphiphilic triblock terpolymers were used as vehicles for the complexation/encapsulation of insulin (INS). The terpolymers self-assemble in spherical micelles with PLMA cores and mixed QPDMAEMA/POEGMA coronas in aqueous solutions. The cationic micelles were complexed via electrostatic interactions with INS, which contains anionic charges at pH 7. The solutions were colloidally stable in all INS ratios used. Light-scattering techniques were used for investigation of the complexation ability and the size and surface charge of the terpolymer/INS complexes. The results showed that the size of the complexes increases as INS ratio increases, while at the same time the surface charge remains positive, indicating the formation of clusters of micelles/INS complexes in the solution. Fluorescence spectroscopy measurements revealed that the conformation of the protein is not affected after the complexation with the terpolymer micellar aggregates. It was observed that as the solution ionic strength increases, the size of the QPDMAEMA-b-PLMA-b-POEGMA/INS complexes initially decreases and then remains practically constant at higher ionic strength, indicating further aggregation of the complexes. atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements showed the existence of both clusters and isolated nanoparticulate terpolymer/protein complexes.

Abstract
Nanoplatforms have been used extensively as advanced carriers to enhance the effectiveness of drug delivery, mostly through passive aggregation provided by the enhanced permeability and retention effect. Mechanical stimuli provide a robust strategy to bolster drug delivery performance by increasing the accumulation of nanoplatforms at the lesion sites, facilitating on-demand cargo release and providing theranostic aims. In this review, we focus on recent advances of mechanoresponsive nanoplatforms that can accomplish targeted drug delivery, and subsequent drug release, under specific stimuli, either endogenous (shear stress) or exogenous (magnetic field and ultrasound), to synergistically combat atherosclerosis at the molecular level.

Abstract
Cancer remains a daunting and cureless disease, which is responsible for one-sixth of human deaths worldwide. These mortality rates have been expected to rise in the future due to the side effects of conventional treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery), which can be addressed by applying nanomedicine. In order to escape from biological barriers, such nanomedicine should be mimicked and designed to be stealthy while navigating in the bloodstream. To achieve this, scientists take advantage of erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs) as drug carriers and develop RBC membrane (RBCm) coating nanotechnology. Thanks to the significant advances in nanoengineering, various facile surface functionalization methods can be applied to arm RBCm with not only targeting moieties, but also imaging agents, therapeutic agents, and nanoparticles, which are useful for theranostic nanomedicine. This review focuses on refunctionalization of erythrocyte-based nanomedicine for enhancing cancer-targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic illness estimated to have affected 451 million individuals to date, with this number expected to significantly rise in the coming years. There are two main classes of this disease, namely type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Insulin therapy is pivotal in the management of diabetes, with diabetic individuals taking multiple daily insulin injections. However, the mode of administration has numerous drawbacks, resulting in poor patient compliance. In order to optimize insulin therapy, novel drug delivery systems (DDSes) have been suggested, and alternative routes of administration have been investigated. A novel aspect in the field of drug delivery was brought about by the coalescence of polymeric science and nanotechnology. In addition to polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs), insulin DDSes can incorporate the use of nanoplatforms/carriers. A combination of these systems can bring about novel formulations and lead to significant improvements in the drug delivery system (DDS) with regard to therapeutic efficacy, bioavailability, increased half-life, improved transport through physical and chemical barriers, and controlled drug delivery. This review will discuss how recent developments in polymer chemistry and nanotechnology have been employed in a multitude of platforms as well as in administration routes for the safe and efficient delivery of insulin for the treatment of DM.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the root of approximately one-third of global mortalities. Nanotechnology exhibits splendid prospects to combat atherosclerosis at the molecular level by engineering smart nanoagents with versatile functionalizations. Significant advances in nanoengineering enable nanoagents to autonomously navigate in the bloodstream, escape from biological barriers, and assemble with their nanocohort at the targeted lesion. The assembly of nanoagents with endogenous and exogenous stimuli breaks down their shells, facilitates intracellular delivery, releases their cargo to kill the corrupt cells, and gives imaging reports. All these improvements pave the way toward personalized medicine for atherosclerosis. This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in stimuli-responsive nanoagents for atherosclerosis management and its progress in clinical trials.

Abstract
Inspired by the motions of plant tissues in response to external stimuli, significant attention has been devoted to the development of actuating polymeric materials. In particular, polymeric actuators driven by organic molecules have been designed due to their combined superiorities of tunable functional monomers, designable chemical structures, and variable structural anisotropy. Here, the recent progress is summarized in terms of material synthesis, structure design, polymer-solvent interaction, and actuating performance. In addition, various possibilities for practical applications, including the ability to sense chemical vapors and solvent isomers, and future directions to satisfy the requirement of sensing and smart systems are also highlighted.

Formulation and Characterization of New Polymeric Systems Based on Chitosan and Xanthine Derivatives with Thiazolidin-4-One Scaffold. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12040558. [PMID: 30781782 PMCID: PMC6416560 DOI: 10.3390/ma12040558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2019] [Revised: 02/02/2019] [Accepted: 02/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
In the past many research studies have focused on the thiazolidine-4-one scaffold, due to the important biological effects associated with its heterocycle. This scaffold is present in the structure of many synthetic compounds, which showed significant biological effects such as antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidiabetic effects. It was also identified in natural compounds, such as actithiazic acid, isolated from Streptomyces strains. Starting from this scaffold new xanthine derivatives have been synthetized and evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal effects. The antibacterial action was investigated against Gram positive (Staphyloccoccus aureus ATCC 25923, Sarcina lutea ATCC 9341) and Gram negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922) bacterial strains. The antifungal potential was investigated against Candida spp. (Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Candida glabrata ATCC MYA 2950, Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019). In order to improve the antimicrobial activity, the most active xanthine derivatives with thiazolidine-4-one scaffold (XTDs: 6c, 6e, 6f, 6k) were included in a chitosan based polymeric matrix (CS). The developed polymeric systems (CS-XTDs) were characterized in terms of morphological (aspect, particle size), physic-chemical properties (swelling degree), antibacterial and antifungal activities, toxicity, and biological functions (bioactive compounds loading, entrapment efficiency). The presence of xanthine-thiazolidine-4-one derivatives into the chitosan matrix was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis. The size of developed polymeric systems, CS-XTDs, ranged between 614 µm and 855 µm, in a dry state. The XTDs were encapsulated into the chitosan matrix with very good loading efficiency, the highest entrapment efficiency being recorded for CS-6k, which ranged between 87.86 ± 1.25% and 93.91 ± 1.41%, depending of the concentration of 6k. The CS-XTDs systems showed an improved antimicrobial effect with respect to the corresponding XTDs. Good results were obtained for CS-6f, for which the effects on Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (21.2 ± 0.43 mm) and Sarcina lutea ATCC 9341 (25.1 ± 0.28 mm) were comparable with those of ciprofloxacin (25.1 ± 0.08 mm/25.0 ± 0.1 mm), which were used as the control. The CS-6f showed a notable antifungal effect, especially on Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019 (18.4 ± 0.42 mm), the effect being comparable to those of nystatin (20.1 ± 0.09 mm), used as the control. Based on the obtained results these polymeric systems, consisting of thiazolidine-4-one derivatives loaded with chitosan microparticles, could have important applications in the food field as multifunctional (antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant) packaging materials.

Abstract
Insulin, as the most important drug for the treatment of diabetes, can effectively control the blood glucose concentration in humans. Due to its instability, short half-life, easy denaturation and side effects, the administration way of insulin are limited to subcutaneous injection accompany with poor glucose control and low patient compliance. In recent years, emerging insulin delivery systems have been developed in diabetes research. In this review, a variety of stimuli-responsive insulin delivery systems with their response mechanism and regulation principle are described. Further, the introduction of stem cell transplantation and mobile application based delivery technologies are prudent for the diabetes treatment. This article also discusses the advantages and limitations of current strategies, along with the opportunities and challenges for future insulin therapy.

Abstract
We present an improved type of food gum (salecan) based hydrogels for oral delivery of insulin. Structural hydrogel formation was assessed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction. We found that the hydrogel modulus, morphology, and swelling properties can be controlled by varying the salecan dose during hydrogel formation. Insulin was introduced into the hydrogel using a swelling-diffusion approach and then further used a drug prototype. In vitro insulin release profiles demonstrated that the release of entrapped insulin was suppressed in acidic conditions but markedly increased at neutral pH. Cell viability and toxicity tests revealed that the salecan hydrogel constructs were biocompatible. Oral administration of insulin-loaded salecan hydrogels in diabetic rats resulted in a sustained decrease of fasting plasma glucose levels over 6 h postadministration. For nondiabetic animals, the relative pharmacological bioavailability of insulin was significantly larger (6.24%, p < 0.05) for insulin-loaded hydrogels compared to free insulin. These results encourage further development of salecan-based hydrogels as vehicles for controlled insulin delivery following oral administration.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to fabricate a novel binary hydrogel, and the insulin-loaded hydrogel was used as rectal suppository to prevent type I diabetes. The binary hydrogel was synthesized via solution polymerization. Its structure was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectra. The swelling behaviors of binary hydrogels were revealed in pH 1.2, 6.8 and 7.4 buffers, respectively. Their inner morphologies were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Insulin (INS) was selected as a model drug and encapsulated into the binary hydrogels. INS release study was carried out in pH 7.4 buffer. The hypoglycemic effects of INS-loaded hydrogels were studied by rectal administration. FTIR and Raman spectra confirmed the obtaining of binary hydrogels. The hydrogel showed a high swelling ratio in pH 7.4 (rectum environment). SEM photographs illustrated that many micro-pores in the inner of binary hydrogels, which could accommodate abundant guest molecule (e.g. INS). INS release profile suggested that INS-loaded hydrogels could diffuse INS at a sustained manner. Animal studies proved that INS-loaded binary hydrogel had an obvious hypoglycemic effect. Therefore, it could be speculated that the binary hydrogel had a potential application on treating type I diabetes by rectal administration.

Abstract
Injection of insulin is an effective therapy to treat most patients with the type I diabetes and some with type II diabetes. Additionally, the release of insulin under specific conditions has attracted widespread interest. In this study, a smart drug carrier that can release insulin depending on the changes in blood glucose levels was designed. Combining two popular molecules through facile synthetic processes, a drug carrier of reversible phenylboronate group modified cyclodextrin (β-CD-EPDME) was fabricated. The drug carrier is composed of cyclodextrin, which can encapsulate insulin, and phenylboronate, which is sensitive to the cis-diols in some saccharides. Moreover, β-CD-EPDME can successfully encapsulate insulin and almost completely release insulin in the presence of glucose. The detached phenylboronic acid moiety triggered by glucose can attack the β-CD cavity and form a host-guest complex, which can force out the encapsulated insulin within the cavity. In addition, the insulin released from the β-CD-EPDME@Insulin complex retains its secondary structure, and the drug carrier has been proven to have low cytotoxicity. Thus, this safe and glucose-responsive drug carrier shows the potential for use in the therapy of diabetes.

Abstract
Herein, a dual-responsive insulin delivery device by integrating glucose- and H2O2-responsive polymeric vesicles (PVs) with transcutaneous microneedles (MNs) has been designed. This novel microneedle delivery device achieves a goal of fast response, excellent biocompatibility, and painless administration. The PVs are self-assembled from a triblock copolymer including poly(ethylene glycol), poly(phenylboronic acid) (glucose-sensitive block), and poly(phenylboronic acid pinacol ester) (H2O2-sensitive block). After loading with insulin and glucose oxidase (GO x), the drug-loaded PVs display a basal insulin release as well as a promoted insulin release in response to hyperglycemic states. The insulin release rate responds quickly to elevated glucose and can be further promoted by the incorporated GO x, which will generate the H2O2 at high glucose levels and further break the chemical links of phenylboronic acid pinacol ester group. Finally, the transdermal delivery of insulin to the diabetic rats ((insulin + GO x)-loaded MNs) presents an effective hypoglycemic effect compared to that of subcutaneous injection or only insulin-loaded MNs, which indicates the as-prepared MNs insulin delivery system could be of great importance for the applications in the therapy of diabetes.
