Abstract
An efficient method was discovered for catalyzing the esterification under air using Novozym 435 to obtain pyridine esters. The following conditions were found to be optimal: 60 mg of Novozyme 435, 5.0 mL of n-hexane, a molar ratio of 2:1 for nicotinic acids (0.4 mmol) to alcohols (0.2 mmol), 0.25 g of molecular sieve 3A, a revolution speed of 150 rpm, a reaction temperature of 50 °C, and reaction time of 48 h. Under nine cycles of Novozym 435, the 80 % yield was consistently obtained. Optimum conditions were used to synthesize 23 pyridine esters, including five novel compounds. Among them, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O) showed phenethyl nicotinate (3g), (E)-hex-4-en-1-yl nicotinate (3m), and octyl nicotinate (3n) possessed strong aromas. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) revealed that the compounds 3g, 3m and 3n exhibited stability at the specified temperature. This finding provides theoretical support for adding pyridine esters fragrance to high-temperature processed food.

[PMID: 38042509 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2023.11.021] [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: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
Recently, there has been an accelerating interest in novel biocompatible wound dressings made of nano-sized materials, especially nanofibers. Electrospun nanofibers provide high surface area and mimic the extracellular matrix which enhances biocompatibility. Besides, nanofibrous structures have high active ingredient loading capacity as a result of their high surface-to-volume ratio and porosity. In the present study, curcumin-loaded poly(ω-pentadecalactone-co-δ-valerolactone)/gelatin (PDL-VL/Gel) nanofibrous membranes were fabricated to be used for healing skin wounds. Poly(ω-pentadecalactone-co-δ-valerolactone) copolymer has been enzymatically synthesized in previous studies, thus it improves the originality of the membrane. It was aimed to obtain a synergetic effect and increase the novelty of the work by blending synthetic and natural polymers. Moreover, it was preferred to provide antibacterial activity by the incorporation of a herbal ingredient (curcumin) as a natural alternative to commercial antibiotics. Varied amounts of curcumin (5-25 %, w:v) were electrospun together with PDL-VL/Gel (equal volume ratio) polymer blend (fiber diameters ranged between 554 and 1074 nm) and several characterizations (morphological and molecular structure, wettability characteristics, and thermal behavior) were applied to examine the curcumin incorporation. Afterwards, in vitro curcumin release studies were carried out and mathematical modeling was applied to release data to clarify the transport mechanism. Curcumin release profiles comprised of an initial burst release in the first hour followed by a sustained release through 24 h. Based on the antibacterial activity test results, 15 % curcumin loading ratio was found to be sufficient for the treatment of skin wounds infected by Gram-negative (E. coli) and Gram-positive (S. aureus and B. subtilis) bacteria. Additionally, nanofibrous membranes did not lead to cytotoxicity, and curcumin content further enhanced the viability of fibroblasts. Thus, the presented antibacterial nanofibrous membrane is suggested to be applied for the treatment of wound infections and accelerating the healing process.

Eur J Pharm Sci 2022; 170:106113. [PMID: 34986416 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2021.106113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2021] [Revised: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 12/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
In recent years, there is an increasing attention on biocompatible electrospun nanofibers for drug delivery applications since they provide high surface area, controlled and sustained drug release, and they mimic the extracellular matrix. In the present study, tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) antibiotic loaded poly(ω-pentadecalactone-co-ε-caprolactone)/gelatin/chitosan nanofibrous membranes were fabricated as a controlled drug delivery system. Poly(ω-pentadecalactone-co-ε-caprolactone) copolymer has been enzymatically synthesized in previous studies, thus it provides an originality to the membrane. Combination of a synthetic polymer, a protein, and a polysaccharide in order to obtain a synergetic effect is another novelty of this work and there exists limited examples for such electrospun membrane. Varied amounts of TCH was electrospun together with poly(ω-pentadecalactone-co-ε-caprolactone)/gelatin/chitosan (50/40/10 vol ratio) polymer blend (fiber diameters ranged between 85.7-225.2 nm) and several characterizations (morphological and molecular structure, wettability characteristics, and thermal behavior) were applied to examine the drug incorporation. Subsequently, in vitro drug release studies were conducted and mathematical modeling was applied for the detection of transport mechanism of drug. TCH release proceeded 14 days through an initial burst release in first hour and followed by a sustained release. 1% TCH-loaded sample was shown as optimal preparation with 96.5% total drug release and 11.8% initial burst release. TCH-loaded preparations demonstrated a good antibacterial activity against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) bacteria and a limited effect (no inhibition zone observed below 3% TCH concentration) against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacterium. Thus, TCH concentrations of ≥ 3% could be preferred to obtain a wide-spectrum effectiveness. The presented drug delivery system is suggested to be applied for treatment of skin infections as a wound dressing device.
