Ozonated Sunflower Oil Embedded within Spray-Dried Chitosan Microspheres Cross-Linked with Azelaic Acid as a Multicomponent Solid Form for Broad-Spectrum and Long-Lasting Antimicrobial Activity. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:502. [PMID: 38675163 PMCID: PMC11054446 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16040502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Multicomponent solid forms for the combined delivery of antimicrobials can improve formulation performance, especially for poorly soluble drugs, by enabling the modified release of the active ingredients to better meet therapeutic needs. Chitosan microspheres incorporating ozonated sunflower oil were prepared by a spray-drying method and using azelaic acid as a biocompatible cross-linker to improve the long time frame. Two methods were used to incorporate ozonated oil into microspheres during the atomization process: one based on the use of a surfactant to emulsify the oil and another using mesoporous silica as an oil absorbent. The encapsulation efficiency of the ozonated oil was evaluated by measuring the peroxide value in the microspheres, which showed an efficiency of 75.5-82.1%. The morphological aspects; particle size distribution; zeta potential; swelling; degradation time; and thermal, crystallographic and spectroscopic properties of the microspheres were analyzed. Azelaic acid release and peroxide formation over time were followed in in vitro analyses, which showed that ozonated oil embedded within chitosan microspheres cross-linked with azelaic acid is a valid system to obtain a sustained release of antimicrobials. In vitro tests showed that the microspheres exhibit synergistic antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa, E. coli, S. aureus, C. albicans and A. brasiliensis. This makes them ideal for use in the development of biomedical devices that require broad-spectrum and prolonged antimicrobial activity.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 242:117762. [PMID: 38029812 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this research is to conduct a comprehensive characterization of chitosan while also improving its attributes by crosslinking with malonic acid, with a focus on its efficacy in removing hexavalent chromium, arsenite and fluoride ions. Crosslinking chitosan in 1:0.5 mass ratio forming a film led to substantial enhancement in confiscation of these target pollutants. The characterization of the adsorbent involved several techniques, including FT-IR, TGA-DSC, SEM-EDX, XRD, and BET surface area analysis. In batch adsorption experiments, Chitosan-malonic acid (CMA) was employed to remove CrVI, AsIII and F- from aqueous solutions. These experiments were conducted while varying conditions such as pH, dosage, concentration, temperature, and time. Through the implementation of response surface methodology (RSM), parameters were optimized, resulting in over 95% removal of CrVI, AsIII and F- ions. The isotherm and kinetics data demonstrated a good fit with the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo second-order kinetics, respectively. According to the Langmuir isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacities on CMA for CrVI, AsIII and F- were determined to be 687.05 mg g-1, 26.72 mg g-1 and 51.38 mg g-1 respectively under optimum pH of 4.0, 7.0 and 5.0 respectively under ambient temperature of 303 K. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and driven by enthalpy. The regenerability of the adsorbent was validated through five adsorption-desorption cycles, signifying its reusability. An assessment of the adsorbent's sustainability indicated an eco-friendly synthesis, as reflected by the low E-factor value of 0.0028.

Abstract
A wireless-based detection utilizing an innovative electrochemical card (eCard) sensor controlled by a smartphone was developed for targeting Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). A simple label-free electrochemical platform allows a convenient operation for point-of-care diagnosis. A disposable screen-printed carbon electrode was modified straightforwardly layer-by-layer with chitosan followed by glutaraldehyde, allowing a simple but effective, reproducible, and stable method for covalently immobilizing antibodies. The modification and immobilization processes were verified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The smartphone-based eCard sensor was used to quantify HBsAg by measuring the change in current response of the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox couple before and after the presence of HBsAg. Under the optimal conditions, the linear calibration curve for HBsAg was found to be 10-100,000 IU/mL with a detection limit of 9.55 IU/mL. The HBsAg eCard sensor was successfully applied to detect 500 chronic HBV-infected serum samples with satisfactory results, demonstrating the excellent applicability of this system. The sensitivity and specificity of this sensing platform were found to be 97.75% and 93%, respectively. As illustrated, the proposed eCard immunosensor offered a rapid, sensitive, selective, and easy-to-use platform for healthcare providers to rapidly determine the infection status of HBV patients.

Abstract
The tail tendons of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), a by-product from the meat-separation process in canned-tuna production, was used as an alternative source of collagen extraction. The acid-solubilized collagens using vinegar (VTC) and acetic-acid (ATC) extraction and pepsin-solubilized collagen (APTC) were extracted from tuna-tail tendon. The physiochemical properties and characteristics of those collagens were investigated. The obtained yield of VTC, ATC, and APTC were 7.88 ± 0.41, 8.67 ± 0.35, and 12.04 ± 0.07%, respectively. The determination of protein-collagen solubility, the effect of pH and NaCl on collagen solubility, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum, and microstructure of the collagen-fibril surface using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) were done. The protein solubility of VTC, ATC, and APTC were 0.44 ± 0.03, 0.52 ± 0.07, and 0.67 ± 0.12 mg protein/mg collagen. The solubility of collagen decreased with increasing of NaCl content. These three collagens were good solubility at low pH with the highest solubility at pH 5. The FTIR spectrum showed absorbance of Amide A, Amide B, Amide I, Amide II, and Amide III groups as 3286-3293 cm-1, 2853-2922 cm-1, 1634-1646 cm-1, 1543-1544 cm-1, and 1236-1237 cm-1, respectively. The SEM analysis indicated a microstructure of collagen surface as folding of fibril with small pore.

Abstract
Chitosan is a natural polymer with acceptable biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical stability; hence, it has been widely appraised for drug and gene delivery applications. However, there has been no comprehensive assessment to tailor-make chitosan cross-linkers of various types and functionalities as well as complex chitosan-based semi- and full-interpenetrating networks for drug delivery systems (DDSs). Herein, various fabrication methods developed for chitosan hydrogels are deliberated, including chitosan crosslinking with and without diverse cross-linkers. Tripolyphosphate, genipin and multi-functional aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and epoxides are common cross-linkers used in developing biomedical chitosan for DDSs. Methods deployed for modifying the properties and performance of chitosan hydrogels, via their composite production (semi- and full-interpenetrating networks), are also cogitated here. In addition, recent advances in the fabrication of advanced chitosan hydrogels for drug delivery applications such as oral drug delivery, transdermal drug delivery, and cancer therapy are discussed. Lastly, thoughts on what is needed for the chitosan field to continue to grow is also debated in this comprehensive review article.

Abstract
A chitosan (a glucosamine polysaccharide)-diatomaceous earth hybrid was studied for the adsorption of 4,4'-dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (4,4'-DDT), a persistent organic pollutant and organochlorine pesticide compound from water. The diverse adsorption process parameters were studied and the modified adsorbent was characterized through XRD, SEM-EDX, FT-IR, XRF, BET and TGA analysis. The concentration of 4,4'-DDT was measured using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) by adopting a validated analytical procedure. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms ascertained the adsorption capacity. The optimum pH and temperature for 4,4'-DDT adsorption were found to be between 5.0 and 7.0 and 20 and 30 °C respectively. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed that the adsorption of DDT on chitosan modified with diatomaceous earth was an exothermic process. The data obtained from kinetics and intra-particle diffusion showed that the composite material is able to sequester 4,4'-DDT and this is reflected in the Langmuir adsorption capacity of 0.968 mg g-1. The adsorbed 4,4'-DDT was successfully eluted with ethyl acetate and recycling studies showed that the modified chitosan can be used for three cycles with significant adsorption performance and this adsorbent proved its efficacy in removing 4,4'-DDT from farm water.

Abstract
Collagen is a kind of high macromolecular protein with unique tissue distribution and distinctive functions in the body. At present, most collagen products are extracted from the tissues and organs of mammals or marine fish. However, this method exhibits several disadvantages, including low efficiency and serious waste generation, which makes it difficult to meet the current market demand. With the rapid development of synthetic biology and the deepening of high-density fermentation technology, the collagen preparation by biosynthesis strategy emerges as the times require. Co-expression with the proline hydroxylase gene can solve the problem of non-hydroxylated collagen, but the yield may be affected. Therefore, improving the expression through molecular modification and dynamic regulation of synthesis is an entry point for future research. Due to the defects in certain properties of the natural collagen, modification of properties would be benefit for meeting the requirements of practical application. In this paper, in-depth investigations on recombinant expression, fermentation, and modification studies of collagen are conducted. Also, it summarizes the research progress of collagen in food, medicine, and beauty industry in recent years. Furthermore, the future development trend and application prospect of collagen are discussed, which would provide guidance for its preparation and application.

Abstract
The development of recombinant protein cross-linked injectable hydrogels with good mechanical strength and effective drug loading capacity for bone regeneration is extremely attractive and rarely reported. Here, we report the fabrication of a smart hydrogel delivery system by incorporating a rationally designed T4 lysozyme mutant (T4M) to mediate the localized delivery and synergistic release of Mg2+ and Zn2+ for bone repair. Apart from its intrinsic antibacterial properties, T4M bears abundant free amine groups on its surface to function as effective covalent crosslinkers to strengthen the hydrogel network as well as exhibits specific binding affinity to multivalent cations such as Zn2+. Moreover, the integrin receptor-binding Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence was introduced onto the C-terminus of T4 lysozyme to improve its cellular affinity and further facilitate rapid tissue regeneration. The final composite hydrogel displays excellent injectability, improved mechanical properties, antibacterial activity, and unique bioactivities. The effective loading of Mg2+/Zn2+ in the hydrogels could mediate the sequential and sustained release of Mg2+ and Zn2+, thereby resulting in synergistic enhancement on bone regeneration through modulation of the MAPK signaling pathway. We believe that the strategy proposed in this paper opens up a new route for developing protein cross-linked smart delivery systems for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Utility of plant-based materials in tissue engineering has exponentially increased over the years. Recent efforts in this area have been focused on substituting synthetic cross-linkers with natural ones derived from biological sources. These cross-linkers are essentially derived from the vegetative components of plants therefore suitably categorised as 'green' and renewable materials. Utilization of plant based cross-linkers in scaffolds and hydrogels offers several advantages compared to the synthetic ones. Natural compounds, like ferulic acid and genipin, when incorporated into scaffolds can promote cellular proliferation and growth, by regulation of growth factors. They participate in crucial activities, thus providing impetus for cell growth, function, differentiation and angiogenesis. Several natural compounds inherently possess anti-microbial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which enhance the inherent characteristics of the scaffolds. Versatility of natural cross-linkers can be exploited for diverse applications. Integrating such potent molecules can enable the scaffold to display relevant characteristics for each function. This review article focuses on the recent developments with plant based cross-linkers that are employed for scaffold synthesis and their applications, which may be explored to synthesize scaffolds suitable for diverse biomedical applications.

Abstract
Monocyte transendothelial migration is a multi-step process critical for the initiation and development of atherosclerosis. The chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is overexpressed during atheroma and its concentration gradients in the extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical for the transendothelial recruitment of monocytes. Based on prior observations, we hypothesize that both free and bound gradients of MCP-1 within the ECM are involved in directing monocyte migration. The interaction between a three-dimensional (3D), cell-free, collagen matrix and MCP-1; and its effect on monocyte migration was measured in this study. Our results showed such an interaction existed between MCP-1 and collagen, as 26% of the total MCP-1 added to the collagen matrix was bound to the matrix after extensive washes. We also characterized the collagen-MCP-1 interaction using biophysical techniques. The treatment of the collagen matrix with MCP-1 lead to increased monocyte migration, and this phenotype was abrogated by treating the matrix with an anti-MCP-1 antibody. Thus, our results indicate a binding interaction between MCP-1 and the collagen matrix, which could elicit a haptotactic effect on monocyte migration. A better understanding of such mechanisms controlling monocyte migration will help identify target cytokines and lead to the development of better anti-inflammatory therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
This present study deals with synthesis, characterization and antibacterial activity of cross-linked chitosan-glutaraldehyde. Results from this study indicated that cross-linked chitosan-glutaraldehyde markedly inhibited the growth of antibiotic-resistant Burkholderia cepacia complex regardless of bacterial species and incubation time while bacterial growth was unaffected by solid chitosan. Furthermore, high temperature treated cross-linked chitosan-glutaraldehyde showed strong antibacterial activity against the selected strain 0901 although the inhibitory effects varied with different temperatures. In addition, physical-chemical and structural characterization revealed that the cross-linking of chitosan with glutaraldehyde resulted in a rougher surface morphology, a characteristic Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) band at 1559 cm−1, a specific X-ray diffraction peak centered at 2θ = 15°, a lower contents of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, and a higher stability of glucose units compared to chitosan based on scanning electron microscopic observation, FTIR spectra, X-ray diffraction pattern, as well as elemental and thermo gravimetric analysis. Overall, this study indicated that cross-linked chitosan-glutaraldehyde is promising to be developed as a new antibacterial drug.

Abstract
Transformation of natural polymers to three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds for biomedical applications faces a number of challenges, viz., solubility, stability (mechanical and thermal), strength, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Hence, intensive research on suitable agents to provide the requisite properties has been initiated at the global level. In the present study, an attempt was made to engineer chitosan and collagen macromolecules using sebacic acid, and further evaluation of the mechanical stability and biocompatible property of the engineered scaffold material was done. A 3D scaffold material was prepared using chitosan at 1.0% (w/v) and sebacic acid at 0.2% (w/v); similarly, collagen at 0.5% (w/v) and sebacic acid at 0.2% (w/v) were prepared individually by freeze-drying technique. Analysis revealed that the engineered scaffolds displayed an appreciable mechanical strength and, in addition, were found to be biocompatible to NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells. Studies on the chemistry behind the interaction and the characteristics of the cross-linked scaffold materials suggested that non-covalent interactions play a major role in deciding the property of the said polymer materials. The prepared scaffold was suitable for tissue engineering application as a wound dressing material.
