Performance of magnetic nanocomposite based on xanthan gum-grafted-poly(acrylamide) crosslinked by borax for the effective elimination of amoxicillin from aquatic environments. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 361:142548. [PMID: 38852637 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of using nanocomposite (NCs) of xanthan gum grafted polyacrylamide crosslinked Borax - iron oxide nanoparticle (XG-g-pAAm-CL-Borax-IONP) to remove the amoxicillin antibiotic (AMX) from an aquatic environment. To confirm the structural characteristics of the prepared XG-g-pAAm-CL-Borax-IONP NCs, unique characterization methods (XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, BET, TGA, Zeta, and VSM) were used. Adsorption experimental setups were performed with the influence of solution pH (4-9), the effect of adsorbent dose (0.003-0.02 g), the effect of contact time (5-45 min), and the effect of initial AMX concentration (50-400 mg/L) to achieve the most efficient adsorption conditions. Based on the Freundlich isotherm model, XG-g-pAAm-CL-Borax-IONP NCs provided the maximum AMX adsorption capacity of 1183.639 mg/g. This research on adsorption kinetics also established that the pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.991) is outstanding compatibility with the experimental results. AMX adsorption on the NCs may occur through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, diffusion, and trapping into the polymer network. Even after five cycles, these NCs still displayed the best performance. Based on these results, XG-g-pAAm-CL-Borax-IONP NCs may be a viable material for the purification of AMX from contaminated water.

Abstract
Regioselective enzymatic polycondensation of the bio-based cellulose derived polyol, Triol-citro, and dimethyl adipate using Candida antarctica Lipase B (CaLB) was investigated. A Design of Experiment approach with MODDE® Pro 13 was used to determine important factors in the branching behavior of this polymer, and reactant ratio, temperature, reaction time and enzyme wt % were the studied factors. Multifunctional polyesters with pendant hydroxy groups were synthesized and fully characterized using 2D NMR techniques to determine degree of branching. Branching was minimal, with a maximum of 16 % observed, and monomer ratio, temperature and reaction time were all determined to be significant factors. In this work, Mn of up to 13 kDa were achieved, while maintaining degree of branching below 15 %, resulting in a linear polyester with the potential to be further functionalized.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:132003. [PMID: 38697426 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132003] [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: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Self-assembled protein fibers have attracted much attention in the fields of medicine and food because of their high aspect ratio, polymorphic structure and strong surface hydrophobicity. In this study, three different gelation types of polysaccharides/β-lactoglobulin fiber (Fblg) composite gels, including ionic alginate-Fblg gels, synergistic xanthan-Fblg gels, and double network agar-Fblg gels, were first prepared. The interactions between the polysaccharides and the Fblgs, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite gels were investigated using the light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, rheology and texture analysis in order to reveal their formation mechanisms. Then the loading and release properties of the water-soluble drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and the hydrophobic drug curcumin (Cur) through these composite gels were further studied with release mechanisms determined by fitting different release models. It was found that the mechanical properties of the composite gels were determined by the mesh density of the three-dimensional networks formed inside the gels. The network structure and mechanical strength of the alginate-Fblg gels became weaker with the increase of Fblg content at pH 4 due to their attractive interaction which hindered the binding of Ca2+ to ALG, while the network and the strength of the alginate-Fblg gels didn't change much at pH 7 due to the repulsion between Alg and Fblg. The xanthan-Fblg gels formed lamellar structures with enhanced gel network and mechanical strength due to the hydrogen bonding and the electrostatic interaction with Fblg. The Agar-Fblg composite gel formed at 60 °C (above the gelation temperature of agar of 40 °C) had a denser double network structure and higher mechanical strength than that formed at 0 °C due to inhibition of diffusion of Ca2+ as salt bridges for Fblg. The hydrophilic drugs were loaded in the meshes of the composite gels and their release was determined by the structure of the composite gel networks, whereas the hydrophobic drugs were loaded by attaching to the Fblgs in the composite gels and their release was determined by the loading ability and strength of the gels. The study not only provided a new idea for the preparation and application of polysaccharide-protein fiber composite hydrogels, but also provided insights for improving the efficiency of drug carriers.

Abstract
Wound healing, a critical biological process vital for tissue restoration, has spurred a global market exceeding $15 billion for wound care products and $12 billion for scar treatment. Chronic wounds lead to delayed or impaired wound healing. Natural bioactive compounds, prized for minimal side effects, stand out as promising candidates for effective wound healing. In response, researchers are turning to nanotechnology, employing the encapsulation of these agents into drug delivery carriers. Drug delivery system will play a crucial role in enabling targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to promote tissue regeneration and address underlying issues such as inflammation, infection, and impaired angiogenesis in chronic wound healing. Drug delivery carriers offer distinct advantages, exhibiting a substantial ratio of surface area to volume and altered physical and chemical properties. These carriers facilitate sustained and controlled release, proving particularly advantageous for the extended process of wound healing, that typically comprise a diverse range of components, integrating both natural and synthetic polymers. Additionally, they often incorporate bioactive molecules. Despite their properties, including poor solubility, rapid degradation, and limited bioavailability, various natural bioactive agents face challenges in clinical applications. With a global research, emphasis on harnessing nanomaterial for wound healing application, this research overview engages advancing drug delivery technologies to augment the effectiveness of tissue regeneration using bioactive molecules. Recent progress in drug delivery has poised to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of natural compounds in wound healing applications.

Abstract
Recently, degradable biopolymers have become increasingly important as potential environmentally friendly biomaterials, providing a wide range of applications in various fields. Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are biomacromolecules, which due to their unique properties have found applications in biomedicine, foodstuff, textiles, cosmetics, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, nanoelectronics, and environmental remediation. One of the important commercial polysaccharides produced on an industrial scale is xanthan. In recent years, the range of its application has expanded significantly. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is another unique EPS with a rapidly increasing range of applications. Due to the great prospects for their practical application, the development of their highly efficient production remains an important task. The present review summarizes the strategies for the cost-effective production of such important biomacromolecules as xanthan and BC and demonstrates for the first time common approaches to their efficient production and to obtaining new functional materials for a wide range of applications, including wound healing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, environmental remediation, nanoelectronics, and 3D bioprinting. In the end, we discuss present limitations of xanthan and BC production and the line of future research.

Novel Hydrolytic Degradable Crosslinked Interpenetrating Polymeric Networks (IPNs): An Efficient Hybrid System to Manage the Controlled Release and Degradation of Misoprostol. Gels 2023; 9:697. [PMID: 37754378 PMCID: PMC10529051 DOI: 10.3390/gels9090697] [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: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to make pH-sensitive HPMC/Neocel C19-based interpenetrating polymeric networks (IPNs) that could be used to treat different diseases. An assembled novel carrier system was demonstrated in this study to achieve multiple functions such as drug protection and self-regulated release. METHODS Misoprostol (MPT) was incorporated as a model drug in hydroxyl-propyl-methylcellulose (HPMC)- and Neocel C19-based IPNs for controlled release. HPMC- and Neocel C19-based IPNs were fabricated through an aqueous polymerization method by utilizing the polymers HPMC and Neocel C19, the initiator ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS), the crosslinker methylenebisacrylamide (MBA), and the monomer methacrylic acid (MAA). An IPN based on these materials was created using an aqueous polymerization technique. Samples of IPN were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal analysis (TGA), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The effects of the pH levels 1.2 and 7.4 on these polymeric networks were also studied in vitro and through swelling experiments. We also performed in vivo studies on rabbits using commercial tablets and hydrogels. RESULTS The thermal stability measured using TGA and DSC for the revised formulation was higher than that of the individual components. Crystallinity was low and amorphousness was high in the polymeric networks, as revealed using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The results from the SEM analysis demonstrated that the surface of the polymeric networks is uneven and porous. Better swelling and in vitro results were achieved at a high pH (7.4), which endorses the pH-responsive characteristics of IPN. Drug release was also increased in 7.4 pH (80% in hours). The pharmacokinetic properties of the drugs showed improvement in our work with hydrogel. The tablet MRT was 13.17 h, which was decreased in the hydrogels, and its AUC was increased from 314.41 ng h/mL to 400.50 ng h/mL in hydrogels. The blood compatibility of the IPN hydrogel was measured using different weights (100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg, and 600 mg; 5.34%, 12.51%, 20.23%, and 29.37%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS As a result, IPN composed of HPMC and Neocel C19 was successfully synthesized, and it is now possible to use it for the controlled release of MPT.

Abstract
PURPOSE Numerous carbohydrate polymers are frequently used in wound-dressing films because they are highly effective materials for promoting successful wound healing. In this study, we prepared amikacin (AM)-containing hydrogel films through the cross-linking of chitosan (CS) with folic acid along with methacrylic acid (MA), ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS), and methylenebisacrylamide (MBA). In the current studies, an effort has been made to look at the possibilities of these materials in developing new hydrogel film wound dressings meant for a slow release of the antibiotic AM and to enhance the potential for wound healing. METHODS Free-radical polymerization was used to generate the hydrogel film, and different concentrations of the CS polymer were used. Measurements were taken of the film thickness, weight fluctuation, folding resistance, moisture content, and moisture uptake. HPLC, FTIR, SEM, DSC, and AFM analyses were some of the different techniques used to confirm that the films were successfully developed. RESULTS The AM release profile demonstrated regulated release over a period of 24 h in simulated wound media at pH 5.5 and 7.4, with a low initial burst release. The antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacterial strains exhibited substantial effectiveness, with inhibitory zones measuring approximately 20.5 ± 0.1 mm. Additionally, in vitro cytocompatibility assessments demonstrated remarkable cell viability, surpassing 80%, specifically when evaluated against human skin fibroblast (HFF-1) cells. CONCLUSIONS The exciting findings of this study indicate the promising potential for further development and testing of these hydrogel films, offering effective and controlled antibiotic release to enhance the process of wound healing.

Abstract
The use of polysaccharides with good film-forming properties in food packaging systems is a promising area of research. Xanthan gum (XG), an extracellular polysaccharide, has many industrial uses, including as a common food additive (E415). It is an effective thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer that prevents ingredients from separating. Nevertheless, XG-based polymer films have some disadvantages, such as poor mechanical properties and high hydrophilic features, which reduce their stability when exposed to moisture and create difficulties in processing and handling. Thus, the objective of this work was to stabilize a XG matrix by cross-linking it with glycerol diglycidyl ether, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, or epichlorohydrin below the freezing point of the reaction mixture. Cryogelation is an ecological, friendly, and versatile method of preparing biomaterials with improved physicochemical properties. Using this technique, XG-based cryogels were successfully prepared in the form of microspheres, monoliths, and films. The XG-based cryogels were characterized by FTIR, SEM, AFM, swelling kinetics, and compressive tests. A heterogeneous morphology with interconnected pores, with an average pore size depending on both the nature of the cross-linker and the cross-linking ratio, was found. The use of a larger amount of cross-linker led to both a much more compact structure of the pore walls and to a significant decrease in the average pore size. The uniaxial compression tests indicated that the XG-based cryogels cross-linked with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether exhibited the best elasticity, sustaining maximum deformations of 97.67%, 90.10%, and 81.80%, respectively.

Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a cytotoxic drug with a low half-life. These features can cause some problems such as burst drug release and numerous side effects. In the present study, a pH-sensitive nanocomposite of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/γ-alumina developed by using water in oil in water (W/O/W) double emulsion method. The fabricated emulsion has been employed as the 5-FU carrier to investigate its effects on drug half-life, side effects, drug loading efficiency (DLE), and drug entrapment efficiency (DEE). Analyzing the FTIR and XRD indicated the successful loading of 5-FU into the nanocarrier and affirmed the synthesized nanocomposite's chemical bonding and crystalline features. Furthermore, by using DLS and Zeta potential assessment, size and undersize distribution, as well as the stability of the drug-loaded nanocomposite were determined, which demonstrated the monodisperse and stable nanoparticles. Moreover, the nanocomposites with spherical shapes and homogeneous surfaces were shown in FE-SEM, which indicated good compatibility for the constituents of the nanocomposites. Moreover, by employing BET analysis the porosity has been investigated. Drug release pattern was studied, which indicated a controlled drug release behavior with above 96 h drug retention. Besides, the loading and entrapment efficiencies were obtained 44 % and 86 %, respectively. Furthermore, the curve fitting technique has been employed and the predominant release mechanism has been determined to evaluate the best-fitted kinetic models. MTT assay and flow cytometry assessment has been carried out to investigate the cytotoxic effects of the fabricated drug-loaded nanocomposite on MCF-7 and normal cells. The results showed enhanced cytotoxicity and late apoptosis for the PVP/CMC/γ-alumina/5-FU. Based on the MTT assay outcomes on normal cell lines (L929), which indicated above 90 % cell viability, the biocompatibility and biosafety of the synthesized nanocarrier have been confirmed. Moreover, due to the porosity of the PVP/CMC/γ-alumina, this nanocarrier can exploit from high specific surface area and be more sensitive to environmental conditions such as pH. These outcomes propose that the novel pH-sensitive PVP/CMC/γ-alumina nanocomposite can be a potential candidate for drug delivery applications, especially for cancer therapy.

[PMID: 37102893 PMCID: PMC10137999 DOI: 10.3390/gels9040281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the synthesis parameters and the incorporation of natural polyphenolic extract within hydrogel networks on the mechanical and morphological properties of physically cross-linked xanthan gum/poly(vinyl alcohol) (XG/PVA) composite hydrogels prepared by multiple cryo-structuration steps. In this context, the toughness, compressive strength, and viscoelasticity of polyphenol-loaded XG/PVA composite hydrogels in comparison with those of the neat polymer networks were investigated by uniaxial compression tests and steady and oscillatory measurements under small deformation conditions. The swelling behavior, the contact angle values, and the morphological features revealed by SEM and AFM analyses were well correlated with the uniaxial compression and rheological results. The compressive tests revealed an enhancement of the network rigidity by increasing the number of cryogenic cycles. On the other hand, tough and flexible polyphenol-loaded composite films were obtained for a weight ratio between XG and PVA of 1:1 and 10 v/v% polyphenol. The gel behavior was confirmed for all composite hydrogels, as the elastic modulus (G') was significantly greater than the viscous modulus (G″) for the entire frequency range.

Superporous acrylic acid and HPMC hydrogels of mefenamic acid: Formulation, characterization and optimization by central composite design. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:1057627. [PMID: 36588944 PMCID: PMC9797584 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.1057627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to devise the superporous hydrogels (SPHs) of mefenamic acid (MA) to acquire the sustained action of the MA in the body. The superporous hydrogels of mefenamic acid were formulated by employing the gas blowing method. The central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was applied to optimize the effect of independent formulation factors like acrylic acid (AC), HPMC and glycerol (GLY) over dependent variables like porosity, viscosity, drug content and swelling ratio of superporous hydrogels in water, phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) and in 0.1N HCl (pH 1.2). A number of characteristics such as void fraction, surface morphology by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and in vitro drug release study were governed along with physico-chemical analysis by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and appraised statistically by employing the ANOVA. The comparative analgesic activity of optimized superporous hydrogel formulation SPH17 was also analyzed by using tail flick method. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Differential scanning calorimetry studies approved the physical compatibility between the polymers and the drug. The Scanning electron microscopy study specified micrographic insight about the structure of formed formulations comprising presence of pores, fibers and drug-hole aggregates. The superporous hydrogels were detected to be low dense as they expressed density lower than 0.75 g/cc. The decrease in concentration of the polymers and cross linker contributed towards the increase in the void fraction of the superporous hydrogel formulations. The optimized formulation SPH 17 exhibited a highly sustained release of MA for up to 10 h in the both 0.1 N HCl and phosphate buffer (66.6%) media. The non-fickian release of drug revealed the coupling of the diffusion and polymer relaxation mechanism of the drug release from the formulations. The obtained outcomes suggested that analgesic effect of SPH 17 was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of simple suspension of mefenamic acid and total analgesic effect duration for superporous hydrogel was also doubled as compared to the duration of analgesic effect produced by drug suspension. The successfully formulated SPH with HPMC K100M as a gelling agent had sustained the action of the mefenamic acid (MF) by improving its poor solubility and permeability. The introduction of inter-penetrating polymeric network (acrylic acid) using glycerol as a cross linker impart increased residence time to superporous hydrogels which ultimately enhanced the feasibility of using superporous hydrogel as oral sustained release devices particularly for gastric retention.

In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin-grafted-poly(acrylic acid)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Semi-Interpenetrating Matrices of Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15111399.

Abstract
In this paper, we fabricated semi-interpenetrating polymeric network (semi-IPN) of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin-grafted-poly(acrylic acid)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (HP-β-CD-g-poly(AA)/PVP) by the free radical polymerization technique, intended for colon specific release of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP). Different proportions of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), acrylic acid (AA), and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) were reacted along with ammonium persulphate (APS) as initiator and methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) as crosslinker to develop a hydrogel system with optimum swelling at distal intestinal pH. Initially, all formulations were screened for swelling behavior and AP-8 was chosen as optimum formulation. This formulation was capable of releasing a small amount of drug at acidic pH (1.2), while a maximum amount of drug was released at colonic pH (7.4) by the non-Fickian diffusion mechanism. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed successful grafting of components and development of semi-IPN structure without any interaction with DSP. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed the thermal stability of developed semi-IPN. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed reduction in crystallinity of DSP upon loading in the hydrogel. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images revealed a rough and porous hydrogel surface. The toxicological evaluation of semi-IPN hydrogels confirmed their bio-safety and hemocompatibility. Therefore, the prepared hydrogels were pH sensitive, biocompatible, showed good swelling, mechanical properties, and were efficient in releasing the drug in the colonic environment. Therefore, AP-8 can be deemed as a potential carrier for targeted delivery of DSP to treat inflammatory bowel diseases.

Abstract
Poor solubility is a global issue of copious pharmaceutical industries as large number of drugs in development stage as well as already marketed products are poorly soluble which results in low dissolution and ultimately dosage increase. Current study is aimed at developing a polyvinylpyrrolidone- (PVP-K30-) based nanogel delivery system for solubility enhancement of poorly soluble drug olanzapine (OLP), as solubilization enhancement is the most noteworthy application of nanosystems. Crosslinking polymerization with subsequent condensation technique was used for the synthesis of nanogels, a highly responsive polymeric networks in drug's solubility. Developed nanogels were characterized by percent entrapment efficiency, sol-gel, percent swelling, percent drug loaded content (%DLC), percent porosity, stability, solubility, in vitro dissolution studies, FTIR, XRD, and SEM analysis. Furthermore, cytotoxicity study was conducted on rabbits to check the biocompatibility of the system. Particle size of nanogels was found with 178.99 ± 15.32 nm, and in vitro dissolution study exhibited that drug release properties were considerably enhanced as compared to the marketed formulation OLANZIA. The solubility studies indicated that solubility of OLP was noticeably improved up to 36.7-fold in phosphate buffer of pH 6.8. In vivo cytotoxicity study indicated that prepared PVP-K30-based formulation was biocompatible. On the basis of results obtained, the developed PVP-K30-co-poly (AMPS) nanogel delivery system is expected to be safe, effective, and cost-effective for solubility improvement of poorly soluble drugs.

Abstract
The current study reports the fabrication and biological evaluation of hydroxy propyl β-cyclodextrin-g-poly(acrylic acid)/gelatin (HP-β-CD-g-poly(AA)/gelatin) semi-interpenetrating networks (semi-IPN) for colonic delivery of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP). The prepared hydrogels showed pH-dependent swelling and mucoadhesive properties. The mucoadhesive strength of hydrogels increased with an increasing concentration of gelatin. Based on the swelling and mucoadhesive properties, AG-1 was chosen as the optimized formulation (0.33% w/w of gelatin and 16.66% w/w of AA) for further analysis. FTIR revealed the successful development of a polymeric network without any interaction with DSP. SEM images revealed a slightly rough surface after drug loading. Drug distribution at the molecular level was confirmed by XRD. In vitro drug release assay showed pH-dependent release, i.e., a minute amount of DSP was released at a pH of 1.2 while 90.58% was released over 72 h at pH 7.4. The optimized formulation did not show any toxic effects on a rabbit’s vital organs and was also hemocompatible, thus confirming the biocompatible nature of the hydrogel. Conclusively, the prepared semi-IPN hydrogel possessed the necessary features, which can be exploited for the colonic delivery of DSP.

Abstract
The present study aimed to develop a pH-sensitive chitosan-based hydrogel for controlled delivery of an anti-hepatitis B drug, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Free radical polymerization was utilized to graft acrylamide and acrylic acid using N,N-methylene bisacrylamide as the crosslinker. Physicochemical characterization confirmed the synthesis of thermally stable chitosan-g-poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) hydrogels with well-defined pores within a fibrous surface. The prepared hydrogels exhibited pH and ionic strength sensitivity, with the swelling significantly lower under acidic and strong ionic strength conditions but higher in neutral and basic solutions. In addition, cytotoxicity studies on HeLa cell lines proved the cytocompatibility of the drug delivery material and its readiness for physiological applications. The encapsulation of TDF in the hydrogels was optimized and an encapsulation efficiency and a drug loading percentage of 96% and 10% were achieved, respectively. More interestingly, in vitro release studies demonstrated a pH-dependent release of TDF from hydrogels. The release at pH 7.4 was found to be up to five times higher than at pH 1.2 within 96 h. This further suggested that the newly developed hydrogel-loaded TDF could be proposed as a smart delivery system for oral delivery of anti-hepatitis B drugs.

Abstract
In this work, series of pH-responsive hydrogels (FMA1–FMA9) were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated as potential carrier for oral delivery of an antiviral drug, acyclovir (ACV). Different proportions of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), chitosan (CS), methacrylic acid (MAA) and N′ N′-methylenebis-acrylamide (MBA) were used to fabricate hydrogels via free radical polymerization technique. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed fabrication of new polymeric network, with successful incorporation of ACV. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated presence of slightly porous structure. Thermal analysis indicated enhanced thermal stability of polymeric network. Swelling studies were carried out at 37 °C in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids. The drug release data was found best fit to zero-order kinetics. The preliminary investigation of developed hydrogels showed a pH-dependent swelling behavior and drug release pattern. Acute oral toxicity study indicated no significant changes in behavioral, clinical, or histopathological parameters of Wistar rats. Pharmacokinetic study indicated that developed hydrogels caused a significant increase in oral bioavailability of ACV in rabbit plasma as compared to oral suspension when both were administered at a single oral dose of 20 mg kg−1 bodyweight. Hence, developed hydrogel formulation could be used as potential candidate for controlled drug delivery of an antiviral drug acyclovir.

Abstract
One of the best methods to prevent wound infection and speed up wound healing is wound dressing based on nanofiber-polymer scaffolds, which have acceptable antimicrobial performance and appropriate skin regeneration capabilities. In this paper, the electrospinning method was applied to synthesize the polyvinylpyrrolidone-acrylic acid hydrogel (PVPA)-eggshell membrane (ESM)-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets nanocomposite dressings with different reduced graphene oxide contents (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt.%). Thus, smooth nanofibers were fabricated, including a high amount of rGO, which reduced the fiber diameter. Based on the results, rGO played an important role in water impermeability. The results showed that by increasing the rGO concentration from 0.5 to 2 wt%, the contact angle value increased persistently. Results showed that compared to PVPA-ESM, the mechanical strength and strain of PVPA-ESM/1 wt% rGO significantly enhanced 28% and 23%, respectively. Incorporation of 1 wt% rGO enhanced swelling ratio from 875% for PVPA-ESM to 1235% after 420 min, while increasing the rGO to 2 wt% increased the degradation rate of the composites. According to the in vitro cell culture studies, PVPA-ESM wound dressings with 0.5-1 wt% rGO content enhanced PC12 cell viability compared to the wound dressings without rGO nanosheets. Generally, rGO-loaded PVPA-ESM nanofiber wound dressing can be considered as a potential candidate to be used in skin regeneration applications.

Abstract
This work shows the synthesis of a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) hydrogel by heat-activated polymerization and explores the production of hydrogels with an open porous network by lyophilisation to allow the three-dimensional culture of human oral mucosa stem cells (hOMSCs). The swollen hydrogel showed a storage modulus similar to oral mucosa and elastic solid rheological behaviour without sol transition. A comprehensive characterization of porosity by scanning electron microscopy, mercury intrusion porosimetry and nano-computed tomography (with spatial resolution below 1 μm) showed that lyophilisation resulted in the heterogeneous incorporation of closed oval-like pores in the hydrogel with broad size distribution (5 to 180 μm, d50 = 65 μm). Human oral mucosa biopsies were used to isolate hOMSCs, expressing typical markers of mesenchymal stem cells in more than 95% of the cell population. Direct contact cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that PVP hydrogel have no negative effect on cell metabolic activity, allowing the culture of hOMSCs with normal fusiform morphology. Pore connectivity should be improved in future to allow cell growth in the bulk of the PVP hydrogel.
