ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:6901-6911.

Abstract
The controlled release of cyclosporine A (CsA) microencapsulated in alginate microbeads is a novel drug delivery system for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. In this study, CsA-loaded nanospheres encapsulated in alginate microbeads were applied to evaluate their controlled release profile and anti-inflammatory activity. Initially, a controlled-release drug delivery system was created by encapsulating CsA-loaded PLGA nanospheres within alginate microbeads. CsA-loaded PLGA nanospheres had a diameter of 418.70 ± 59.08 nm, a zeta potential of -22 ± 0.57 mV, and a polydispersity index of 0.517 ± 0.010. CsA-loaded nanosphere-encapsulated alginate microbeads were stable for 37 days. After encapsulating CsA-loaded PLGA nanospheres in the alginate microbeads, 5.60% of CsA was released after 24 h, and approximately 85.90% of the drugs were diffused until day 64. The cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory properties of the CsA released from the microbeads were evaluated in vitro using a murine macrophage cell line (RAW 264.7 cells). CsA-loaded nanosphere-encapsulated alginate microbeads inhibited 39.47 ± 1.71% of nitric oxide production from the RAW 264.7 cells on day 3, whereas nanosphere-encapsulated alginate microbeads inhibited 18.45 ± 1.56% only. CsA released from CsA-loaded nanosphere-encapsulated alginate microbeads had a RAW cell viability of 82.73 ± 5.58% on day 3 compared to 87.59 ± 0.69% of nanosphere-encapsulated alginate microbeads. The efficacy of the CsA-loaded nanosphere-encapsulated alginate microbeads in protecting the immune system via a controlled drug delivery system was established through anti-inflammatory and cell viability evaluation. Based on this research, the controlled release of CsA-loaded nanosphere-encapsulated alginate microbeads provides an innovative treatment for inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Silymarin (SIL) is a poorly water-soluble flavonoid reported for different pharmacological properties. Its therapeutic applications are limited due to poor water solubility. In this study, the solubility of silymarin has been enhanced by preparing freeze-dried binary and ternary complexes using beta cyclodextrin (βCD) and d-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS). The stoichiometry of the drug and the carrier was selected from the phase solubility study. The dissolution study was performed to assess the effect of complexation on the release pattern of SIL. The formation of inclusion complexes was confirmed by different physicochemical studies. Finally, a cell viability assay (MCF 7; breast cancer cell line) was performed to compare the activity with free SIL. The phase solubilization results revealed the formation of a stable complex (binary) with a stability constant and complexation efficiency (CE) value of 288 mol L-1 and 0.045%. The ternary sample depicted a significantly enhanced stability constant and CE value (890 mol L-1 and 0.14%). The release study results showed a marked increase in the release pattern after addition of βCD (alone) in the binary mixture (49.4 ± 3.1%) as well as inclusion complex (66.2 ± 3.2%) compared to free SIL (32.7 ± 1.85%). Furthermore, with the addition of TPGS in SIL-βCD (ternary), the SIL release was found to be significantly enhanced from the SIL ternary mixture (79.2 ± 2.13%) in 120 min. However, fast SIL release was achieved with 99.2 ± 1.7% in 45 min for the SIL ternary complex. IR and NMR spectral analysis results revealed the formation of a stable complex with no drug-polymer interaction. The formation of complexes was also confirmed by the molecular docking study (docking scores of 4.1 and -6.4 kcal/mol). The in vitro cell viability result showed a concentration-dependent activity. The IC50 value of the SIL ternary complex was found to be significantly lower than that of free SIL. The findings of the study concluded that the prepared SIL inclusion complex can be used as an alternative oral delivery system to enhance solubility, dissolution, and biological activity against the tested cancer cell line.

Abstract
Today, polymer systems can be formed to respond to single stimuli or multiple stimuli by changing their properties. The use of these systems, which are designed to be sensitive to stimuli, is expanding in a wide range of applications. Herein, microspheres of sodium alginate (NaAlg) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) sensitive to dual stimuli for the controlled release of model drug paracetamol were produced by the ionotropic gelation method in the presence of Zn2+ ions. FTIR, DSC, TGA, SEM, and particle size measurements were used to describe the blend microspheres. Low critical solution temperatures (LCST) of polymer blends at different ratios were determined and the biggest change according to the LCST value of HPC was found to be approximately 1-2 °C lower than 41 °C in microspheres with a NaAlg/HPC ratio of 50/50. In vitro release experiments of paracetamol from microspheres were carried out in a gastrointestinal tract simulation environment at two different temperatures (37 °C and 47 °C). From the release profiles, paracetamol release varied depending on the NaAlg/HPC ratio, the paracetamol content in the microspheres, the exposure time to Zn2+ ions, and the pH of the medium. Among the microsphere formulations, the highest entrapment efficiency was 57.86%, obtained for B7 formulation microspheres with a NaAlg/HPC ratio of 70/30, a paracetamol loading percentage of 20%, and a crosslinking time of 5 min.RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTSMicrospheres of sodium alginate (NaAlg) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) sensitive to dual stimuli for the controlled release of model drug paracetamol were produced by the ionotropic gelation method in the presence of Zn2+ ions.LCST values of the microspheres with a NaAlg/HPC ratio of 50/50 were significantly lower by 1-2 °C than the LCST value of HPC, and the release results supported the temperature sensitivity of the microspheres.Among the microsphere formulations, the highest entrapment efficiency was 57.86% obtained for B7 formulation microspheres.These microspheres can be used as a temperature-sensitive drug delivery system in the biomedical field and also as an encapsulation system of cancer drugs for cancer treatment modalities such as hyperthermia.

Abstract
Novel drug delivery system endows a beneficial method for achieving a desired drug concentration at the appropriate site in the body. The concept of targeted drug delivery has been emerged to localize the drug in the targeted tissue of interest while reducing the relative concentration of the medication in the surrounding tissues. This could be easily accomplished by using different multi-particulate dosage forms like pellets, granules, microcapsules, liposomes, beads. But the major drawbacks associated with them are the use of harsh chemicals and an elevated temperature for their preparation. Preparation of microbeads by ionotropic gelation and emulsion gelation method overcomes these problems by neither using harsh chemicals nor elevated temperature for their preparation. Thus, this can be proved to be a better alternative over other dosage forms. Several parameters were studied in terms of their morphology, particle size, encapsulation efficiency, swelling ratio, mucoadhesivity, etc. The endeavor of present article is toward presenting a wider perspective of the comprehensive knowledge available in the field of microbeads. Thus, the intent of this review is to recapitulate the relevance of microbeads.

Abstract
An interpenetrating polymer network (IPNs) is a concoction of two or more polymers (natural, synthetic, and/or a combination of both) in which at least one polymer is synthesized or crosslinked in the intimate presence of the other. These three-dimensional networked systems have gained prominence in a series of biomedical applications, especially in the last two decades. The last decades witnessed a surge in the meaningful applications of interpenetrating polymer networks, especially in drug delivery as simple IPN systems advanced and resulted in the formation of highly efficient microspheres, nanoparticles, nanogels, and hydrogels, intelligent enough to sense and respond to changes in external stimuli such as temperature, pH, and ionic strength. The structure of the polymers, crosslinking agents, crosslinking density, and polymerization method play an integral role in determining the properties and application of IPNs in drug delivery. This review article is a modest effort to highlight the importance and applications of different types of interpenetrating polymer networks for the sustained, site-specific drug delivery of various therapeutic formulations, as witnessed in scientific research literature over the past 22 years (2000-2022). A special section of the manuscript is devoted to studying the efficacy of network polymers in vaccine delivery and highlighting the future scope (if any) of incorporating the IPN system in COVID-related vaccine/drug delivery. Four key focus areas in this review article [1, 2].

Abstract
A poorly water soluble polar and non-polar bioactive complexes encapsulated in a nanocellulose-based polymeric network are the focus of this research. Ascorbic acid, resveratrol, holy basil extract, pomegranate extract, and niacin are all microencapsulated bioactive complexes that make up Zetalife®, a nutritional ingredient. It uses an interpenetrating polymeric network (IPN) with more dispersed nanocellulose and phospholipids to increase Zetalife® s bioavailability. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopic (FESEM) images were used in studying the morphology of encapsulated bioactive molecules. The average microbead size was determined to be 244.2 nm. After each month of storage, the sample's microbial content was measured to assess stability. In vitro release followed a first-order kinetic model with high R2.

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
Oral delivery of therapeutics is the preferred route of administration due to ease of administration which is associated with greater patient medication adherence. One major barrier to oral delivery and intestinal absorption is rapid clearance of the drug and the drug delivery system from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. To address this issue, researchers have investigated using GI mucus to help maximize the pharmacokinetics of the therapeutic; while mucus can act as a barrier to effective oral delivery, it can also be used as an anchoring mechanism to improve intestinal residence. Nano-drug delivery systems that use materials which can interact with the mucus layers in the GI tract can enable longer residence time, improving the efficacy of oral drug delivery. This review examines the properties and function of mucus in the GI tract, as well as diseases that alter mucus. Three broad classes of mucus-interacting systems are discussed: mucoadhesive, mucus-penetrating, and mucolytic drug delivery systems. For each class of system, the basis for mucus interaction is presented, and examples of materials that inform the development of these systems are discussed and reviewed. Finally, a list of FDA-approved mucoadhesive, mucus-penetrating, and mucolytic drug delivery systems is reviewed. In summary, this review highlights the progress made in developing mucus-interacting systems, both at a research-scale and commercial-scale level, and describes the theoretical basis for each type of system.

Abstract
The dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs has been a longstanding and important issue in pharmaceutics during the past several decades. Nanotechnologies and their products have been broadly investigated for providing novel strategies for resolving this problem. In the present study, a new orodispersible membrane (OM) comprising electrospun nanofibers is developed for the fast dissolution of diclofenac sodium (DS). A modified coaxial electrospinning was implemented for the preparation of membranes, during which an unspinnable solution of sucralose was explored as the sheath working fluid for smoothing the working processes and also adjusting the taste of membranes. SEM and TEM images demonstrated that the OMs were composed of linear nanofibers with core-sheath inner structures. XRD and ATR-FTIR results suggested that DS presented in the OMs in an amorphous state due to the fine compatibility between DS and PVP. In vitro dissolution measurements and simulated artificial tongue experiments verified that the OMs were able to release the loaded DS in a pulsatile manner. The present protocols pave the way for the fast dissolution and fast action of a series of poorly water-soluble active ingredients that are suitable for oral administration.

Abstract
Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) are two active pharmaceutical ingredients, derived from cannabis plant. In the present study, CBD and CBG were formulated with polyvinyl(pyrrolidone) (PVP) and Eudragit L-100, using electrohydrodynamic atomization (electrospinning). The produced fibers were smooth and uniform in shape, with average fiber diameters in the range of 700-900 nm for PVP fibers and 1-5 μm for Eudragit L-100 fibers. The encapsulation efficiency for both CB and CBG was high (over 90%) for all formulations tested. Both in vitro release and disintegration tests of the formulations in simulated gastric fluids (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluids (SIF) indicated the rapid disintegration and dissolution of the fibers and the subsequent rapid release of the drugs. The study concluded that the electrospinning process is a fast and efficient method to produce drug-loaded fibers suitable for the per os administration of cannabinoids.

Abstract
Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels are crosslinked by two or more polymer networks, providing free volume space in the three-dimensional network structure, and providing conditions for the sustained and controlled release of drugs. The IPN hydrogels based on the natural polymer sodium alginate can form a stable porous network structure. Due to its excellent biocompatibility, the loaded drug can be sustained to the maximum extent without affecting its pharmacological effect. Sodium alginate-based IPN hydrogels have broad application prospects in the field of sustained and controlled drug release. This paper begins with an overview of the formation of alginate-based IPN hydrogels; summarizes the types of alginate-based IPN hydrogels; and discusses the pharmaceutical applications of alginate-based IPN hydrogels. We aim to give an overview of the research on IPN hydrogels based on sodium alginate in sustained and controlled drug release systems.

Abstract
Currently, pharmaceutical research is directed wide range for developing new drugs for oral administration to target disease. Acyclovir formulation is having common issues of short half-life and poor permeability, causing messy treatment which results in patient incompliance. The present study formulates a lipid polymeric hybrid nanoparticles for antiviral acyclovir (ACV) agent with Phospholipon® 90G (lecithin), chitosan, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) to improve controlled release of the drugs. The study focused on the encapsulation of the ACV in lipid polymeric particle and their sustained delivery. The formulation developed for the self-assembly of chitosan and lecithin to form a shell encapsulating acyclovir, followed by PEGylation. Optimisation was performed via Box-Behnken Design (BBD), forming nanoparticles with size of 187.7 ± 3.75 nm, 83.81 ± 1.93% drug-entrapped efficiency (EE), and + 37.7 ± 1.16 mV zeta potential. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images displayed spherical nanoparticles formation. Encapsulation of ACV and complexity with other physical parameters are confirmed through analysis using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. Nanoparticle produced was capable of achieving 24-h sustained release in vitro on gastric and intestinal environments. Ex vivo study proved the improvement of acyclovir's apparent permeability from 2 × 10-6 to 6.46 × 10-6 cm s-1. Acyclovir new formulation was achieved to be stable up to 60 days for controlled release of the drugs. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Background/Aim. Vinegars are of the main international traditional
nutraceuticals which have been used as vaginal health protectant due to
vagina pH balance maintenance and antimicrobial properties. Since the main
used form of vinegar was liquid, it was difficult for vaginal application
with low residence time; in this study a vaginal mucoadhesive gel of vinegar
was designed. Methods. Xanthan gum (XG) and tragacanth (TG) were utilized as
natural gel forming polymers. The effects of Xanthan gum and tragacanth on
mucoadhesion strength and drug release of the gel formulations were
optimized using a 3 level (32) factorial design. Several physico-chemical
properties of the gel formulations including gel viscosity, spreadability,
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of hydrogel chains, and release
kinetic were also investigated. Results. demonstrated that tragacanth
possesses a statistically significant effect on release rate control
(p-value=0.0027) while both tragacanth and xanthan gum have significant
effect (p value= 0.0001 and 0.0017, respectively) on mucoadhesion property.
Conclusion. Design of experiment suggested that formulation F7 with 5%
xanthan gum and 1% tragacanth (mucoadhesion = 0.4632 N and release rate =
88.8% in 6 hours) can be considered as the optimum formulation with some
modifications.
