Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. It was estimated that 90 % of cancer-related deaths were attributable to the development of multi-drug resistance (MDR) during chemotherapy, which results in ineffective chemotherapy. Hydrophobic natural products plays a pivotal role in the field of cancer therapy, with the potential to reverse MDR in tumor cells, thereby enhancing the efficacy of tumor therapy. However, their targeted delivery is considered a major hurdle in their application. The advent of numerous approaches for encapsulating bioactive ingredients in the nanodelivery systems has improved the stability and targeted delivery of these biomolecules. The manuscript comprehensively analyses the nanodelivery systems of bioactive compounds with potential cancer therapy applications, including liposomes, emulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles (NPs), and polymeric NPs. Then, the advantages and disadvantages of various nanoagents in the treatment of various cancer types are critically discussed. Further, the application of multiple-compbine delivery methods to overcome the limitations of single-delivery have need critically analyzed, which thus could help in the designing nanodrug delivery systems for bioactive compounds in clinical settings. Therefore, the review is timely and important for development of efficient nanodelivery systems involving hydrophobic natural products to improve pharmacokinetic properties for effective cancer treatment.

Albumin Oxidation and Albumin Glycation Discordance During Type 2 Diabetes Therapy: Biological and Clinical Implications. Metab Syndr Relat Disord 2024; 22:372-384.

Abstract
Aims: Cys34 albumin redox modifications (reversible "cysteinylation" and irreversible "di/trioxidation"), besides being just oxidative stress biomarkers, may have primary pathogenetic roles to initiate and/or aggravate cell, tissue, and vascular damage in diabetes. In an exploratory "proof-of-concept" pilot study, we examined longitudinal changes in albumin oxidation during diabetes therapy. Methods: Mass spectrometric analysis was utilized to monitor changes in human serum albumin (HSA) post-translational modifications {glycation [glycated albumin (GA)], cysteinylation [cysteinylated albumin (CA) or human non-mercaptalbumin-1; reversible], di/trioxidation (di/trioxidized albumin or human non-mercaptalbumin-2; irreversible), and truncation (truncated albumin)} during ongoing therapy. Four informative groups of subjects were evaluated [type 1 diabetes (T1DM), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), prediabetes-obesity, and healthy controls] at baseline, and subjects with diabetes were followed for a period up to 280 days. Results: At baseline, T2DM was associated with relatively enhanced albumin cysteinylation (CA% total) compared with T1DM (P = 0.004), despite comparable mean hyperglycemia (P values: hemoglobin A1c = 0.09; GA = 0.09). T2DM, compared with T1DM, exhibited selectively and significantly higher elevations of all the "individual" glycated cum cysteinylated ("multimodified") albumin isoforms (P values: CysHSA+1G = 0.003; CysHSA+2G = 0.007; and CysHSA+3G = 0.001). Improvements in glycemic control and decreases in albumin glycation during diabetes therapy in T2DM were not always associated with concurrent reductions of albumin cysteinylation, and in some therapeutic situations, albumin cysteinylation worsened (glycation-cysteinylation discordance). Important differences were observed between the effects of sulfonylureas and metformin on albumin molecular modifications. Conclusions: T2DM was associated with higher oxidative (cysteinylation) and combined (cysteinylation plus glycation) albumin molecular modifications, which are not ameliorated by improved glucose control alone. Further studies are required to establish the clinical significance and optimal therapeutic strategies to address oxidative protein damage and resulting consequences in diabetes.

Abstract
Curcumin conjugated heterocyclic compounds are potent candidates with drug likeness against various bacterial pathogens. A set of curcumin-based pyrrole conjugates (CPs) were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR and HR-MS techniques. The results of free radical scavenging activity of the synthesized CPs, evaluated by FRAP and CUPRAC assays, showed the potency of these compounds as effective antioxidants. CP3 exhibits the highest antioxidant activity amongst the CPs. The bactericidal efficacy of CPs was screened against ESKAP bacterial pathogens, and CPs were found to possess better antibacterial property than curcumin, specifically against staphylococcus aureus bacteria. In addition, serum albumin (BSA and HSA) binding interaction of these CPs were determined by UV-visible and fluorescence spectrophotometric techniques. In-silico molecular docking study was performed to determine the binding patterns of molecular targets against Staphylococcus aureus tyrosyl tRNA synthetase, and serum albumin proteins. The structure-activity relationship showed that the presence of multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, and electron withdrawing groups on the structure of CP molecule, enhances its antioxidant and antibacterial activity, respectively.

Abstract
Odanacatib (ODN) is a selective cathepsin K inhibitor that acts as an anti-resorptive agent to treat osteoporosis. ODN is also found effective in reducing the effect of severe periodontitis. The interaction between ODN and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated using spectroscopic, microscopic, and in silico approaches to characterize their binding. The fluorescence intensity of HSA increased upon the addition of increasing concentrations of ODN accompanied by blueshift in the fluorescence spectrum, which suggested hydrophobic formation around the microenvironment of the fluorophores upon ODN binding. A moderate binding affinity was obtained for ODN-HSA binding, with binding constant (Ka) values of ∼104 M-1. Circular dichroism results suggested that the overall secondary and tertiary structures of HSA were both only slightly altered upon ODN binding. The surface morphology of HSA was also affected upon ODN binding, showing aggregate formation. Drug displacement and molecular docking results revealed that ODN preferably binds to site III in subdomain IB of HSA, while molecular dynamics simulations indicated formation of a stable protein complex when site III was occupied by ODN. The ODN-HSA complex was mainly stabilized by a combination of hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces. These findings provide additional information to understand the interaction mechanism of ODN in blood circulation and may help in future improvements on the adverse effects of ODN.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR), a polyphenolic compound, shows promising biological properties, particularly antioxidant activity. However, its medical applications are limited due to its low water solubility, bioavailability, and pH-instability. CUR-loaded albumin microparticles (CUR-HSA-MPs) of submicron size in the range of 800 to 900 nm and a zeta potential of -15 mV were prepared. The CUR loading efficiency was up to 65%. A maximum release of 37% of the encapsulated CUR was observed within 6 h when the CUR-HSA-MPs were dispersed in 50% ethanol in PBS at pH 7, while in RPMI 1640 medium the release was 7%. This demonstrates a sustainable release. The in vitro cytotoxicity of CUR-HSA-MPs showed promising anticancer potential against human hepatocellular carcinoma (Huh-7) and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines, although this effect was less pronounced in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFB) and human cholangiocyte (MMN) cell lines. Confocal microscopy was used to confirm the uptake of CUR-HSA-MPs by cancer cells. Our studies revealed that HSA-MPs are potentially promising vehicles for increasing the solubility and bioavailability of CUR.

Abstract
Molecular interactions and controlled expression of enzymatic activities are fundamental to all cellular functions in an organism. The active polyphenol in turmeric known as curcumin (CCM) is known to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. Ribonucleases (RNases) are the hydrolytic enzymes that plays important role in ribonucleic acid (RNA) metabolism. Uncontrolled and unwanted cleavage of RNA by RNases may be the cause of cell death leading to disease states. The protein ribonuclease A (RNase A) in the superfamily of RNases cleaves the RNA besides its role in different diseases like autoimmune diseases, and pancreatic disorders. Interaction of CCM with RNase A have been reported along with the possible role of CCM to inhibit the RNase A enzymatic activity. The interaction strength was found to be 104 M-1 order from spectroscopic results. Quenching of RNase A fluorescence by CCM was 104 M-1 order. Non-radiative energy transfer from RNase A (donor) to CCM (acceptor) suggested a distance of 2.42 nm between the donor-acceptor pair. Circular dichroism studies revealed no structural changes in RNase A after binding. Binding-induced conformational variation in protein was observed from synchronous fluorescence studies. Agarose gel electrophoresis revealed a partial inhibition of the RNase A activity by CCM though not significant. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies suggested the residues of RNase A involved in the interaction with supporting the experimental finding for the partial inhibition of the enzyme activity. This study may help in designing new CCM analogues or related structures to understand their differential inhibition of the RNase A activity.

Abstract
Combination nanomedicine is a potent strategy for cancer treatment. Exploiting different mechanisms of action, a novel triple drug delivery system of 5-fluorouracil, curcumin, and piperine co-loaded human serum albumin nanoparticles (5FU-CUR-PIP-HSA-NPs) was developed via the self-assembly method for suppressing breast tumor. Both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs were successfully encapsulated in the HSA NPs with a high drug loading efficiency (DLE) of 10%. Successful clinical translation of nanomedicines, however, is a challenging process requiring considerable preclinical in vitro and in vivo animal tests. The aim of this study was to develop a homemade preclinical 3D culture model in the standard 96-well plates in a cost and time-effective novel approach for the rapid generation of homogenous compact tumor spheroids for disease modeling, and anticancer therapeutic/nanomedicine screening. The knowledge of drug screening can be enhanced by employing such a model in a high-throughput manner. Accordingly, to validate the formulated drug delivery system and investigate the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity effect of the nanoformulation, 3D tumor spheroids were employed. The practicality of the nanomedicine system was substantiated in different tests. The in vitro uptake of the NPs into the tight 3D tumor spheroids was facilitated by the semi-spherical shape of the NPs with a proper size and surface charge. 5FU-CUR-PIP-HSA-NPs demonstrated high potency of migration inhibition as a part of successful anti-metastatic therapy as well. The remarkable differences in 2D and 3D cytotoxicities emphasize the importance of employing 3D tumor models as an intermediate step prior to in vivo animal experiments for drug/nanomedicine screening.

Abstract
In this study, a novel method was developed to encapsulate hydrophobic compounds by self-assembly of cod protein (CP) triggered by breaking disulfide bonds. Curcumin (Cur), a representative lipid-soluble polyphenol, was selected as a model to evaluate the potential of CP nanoparticles as novel and accessible nanocarriers. Results showed that the protein structure gradually unfolded with increasing dithiothreitol (DTT) concentration, indicating that S-S cleavage was conducive to forming a looser structure. The resultant unfolded CP exposed more hydrophobic sites, facilitating its interaction with hydrophobic compounds. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) of formed CP-Cur nanoparticles was relatively high, reaching 99.09%, 98.8%, and 89.77% when the mass ratios of CP to Cur were 20:1, 10:1, and 5:1 (w/v), respectively. The hydrophobic interaction, weak van der Waals, and hydrogen bond were the forces contributing to the formation of CP-Cur nanoparticles, whereas the hydrophobic interaction played a crucial role. The CP-Cur complex exhibited increased stability and a homogeneous-stable structural phase. Thus, this research not only proposed a novel and simple encapsulation method of hydrophobic bioactive compounds but also provided a theoretical reference for the application of reductants in food or pharmacy system.

Abstract
We report drug nanocrystals stabilized with host-specific serum proteins with high loading (∼63% w/w). The human serum derived curcumin nanoparticles (Cur-NanoSera) showed superior in vitro anticancer efficiency compared to a free drug with substantial hemocompatibility. The preadsorbed protein coating impeded further protein corona formation, even with repeated serum exposures. Acute and subacute toxicity evaluations post single and dual injections of C57BL/6 mice indicated that Cur-NanoSera showed no prominent inflammatory response or organ damage in the in-bred mice. Passive accumulation of Cur-NanoSera in tumor tissue significantly suppressed its growth in a syngeneic breast tumor model in addition to controlling tumor burden associated splenomegaly.

Abstract
To improve the reliability of in vitro release studies of drug delivery systems, we developed a novel in vitro method for the evaluation of drug release from polymeric micelles in complex biological media. Polymeric micelles based on poly(N-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylamide)-block-poly(N-2-benzoyloxypropyl methacrylamide) (p(HPMAm)-b-p(HPMAm-Bz)) of which 10% of the chains was functionalized with biotin at the p(HPMAm) terminus were prepared using a solvent extraction method. The size of the micelles when loaded with a hydrophobic agent, namely paclitaxel (a clinically used cytostatic drug) or curcumin (a compound with multiple pharmacological activities), was around 65 nm. The biotin decoration allowed the binding of the micelles to streptavidin-coated magnetic beads which occurred within 10 min and reached a binding efficiency of 90 ± 6%. Drug release in different media was studied after the magnetic separation of micelles bound to the streptavidin-coated beads, by determination of the released drug in the media as well as the retained drug in the micellar fraction bound to the beads. The in vitro release of paclitaxel and curcumin at 37 °C in PBS, PBS containing 2% v/v Tween 80, PBS containing 4.5% w/v bovine serum albumin, mouse plasma, and whole mouse blood was highly medium-dependent. In all media studied, paclitaxel showed superior micellar retention compared to curcumin. Importantly, the presence of serum proteins accelerated the release of both paclitaxel and curcumin. The results presented in this study show great potential for predicting drug release from nanomedicines in biological media which in turn is crucial for their further pharmaceutical development.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The paper reports the spectrofluorimetric and calorimetric study of binding of two hydrophobic biologically active molecules with antioxidant ability, flavonoids quercetin, and curcumin, to human serum albumin (HSA) in water, aqueous DMSO (0.05 and 0.1 mol. fraction of DMSO), and aqueous ethanol (0.05 mol. fraction of EtOH). Both flavonoids induce the quenching of HSA fluorescence. The stability constants of associates, as well as the changes in enthalpy of the reaction between quercetin and protein, were evaluated. The influence of solvent composition and additions of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin as a solubilizer of hydrophobic molecules, on the association processes is discussed. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10973-022-11216-8.

Abstract
Albumin is an appealing carrier in nanomedicine because of its unique features. First, it is the most abundant protein in plasma, endowing high biocompatibility, biodegradability, nonimmunogenicity, and safety for its clinical application. Second, albumin chemical structure and conformation allows interaction with many different drugs, potentially protecting them from elimination and metabolism in vivo, thus improving their pharmacokinetic properties. Finally, albumin can interact with receptors overexpressed in many diseased tissues and cells, providing a unique feature for active targeting of the disease site without the addition of specific ligands to the nanocarrier. For this reason, albumin, characterized by an extended serum half-life of around 19 days, has the potential of promoting half-life extension and targeted delivery of drugs. Therefore, this article focuses on the importance of albumin as a nanodrug delivery carrier for hydrophobic drugs, taking advantage of the passive as well as active targeting potential of this nanocarrier. Particular attention is paid to the breakthrough NAB-Technology, with emphasis on the advantages of Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane), compared to the solvent-based formulations of Paclitaxel, i.e., CrEL-paclitaxel (Taxol) in a clinical setting. Finally, the role of albumin in carrying anticancer compounds is depicted, with a particular focus on the albumin-based formulations that are currently undergoing clinical trials. The article sheds light on the power of an endogenous substance, such as albumin, as a drug delivery system, signifies the importance of the drug vehicle in drug performance in the biological systems, and highlights the possible future trends in the use of this drug delivery system.

Abstract
The interaction of 14 anti-inflammatory drugs with human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated using fluorescence quenching, molecular docking studies, and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methodology. Binding of anti-inflammatory drugs to HSA plays a fundamental role in their transport, distribution, delivery, and elimination. Binding constants of these drugs to HSA, obtained using the fluorescence quenching method, were within the range 0.01 × 104 M-1 (acetaminophen) to 1881.05 × 104 M-1 (meloxicam). Binding sites and binding constants of these anti-inflammatory drugs were estimated using molecular docking. Inspection of the obtained values for docking score, logKb and Kb , showed that the drugs in this data set have a relatively strong binding constant for HSA. QSAR modelling was applied for binding constants obtained from fluorescence quenching and theoretical molecular descriptors. This modelling led to a linear two-parameter model with a correlation coefficient of 0.95 and adequate robustness. The descriptor results showed the importance of a bonding network and electronegativity as the discriminative structural factors in binding affinity for the HSA molecule.

Abstract
Human serum albumin is the most abundant protein in plasma with the ability to bind to a variety of drug molecules. Magnetic nanoparticles are being extensively used in drug delivery due to its intrinsic magnetic properties. In this work, we have synthesized human serum albumin-coated citrate-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles by CDI coupling. Furthermore, folic acid was decorated on human serum albumin by EDC and NHS coupling to confer targetability. Two cytotoxic drugs 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and curcumin were co-delivered. Wherein, the former is an anticancer agent and latter is a drug resistance depressor of former. The nanoparticles showed good aqueous dispersibility with a zeta potential of - 49.1 mV and magnetic core size in the range of 10-15 nm, thus exhibiting good magnetic property with magnetic saturation of 33.59 emu/g. Controlled drug release behavior was noticed in both drugs with faster release profile of 5FU. Nanoparticles also showed good cytotoxicity with lower IC50 values in the presence of magnetic field. The contrasting difference was noticed in folic acid-decorated and non-decorated composites, similarly in the presence of magnetic field where cell uptake was enhanced.
