Abstract
In this research, the extract of Ephedra intermedia Schrenk & C.A.Mey. was encapsulated using the mini-emulsion polymerization method based on methyl methacrylate polymers with a nanometer size. The encapsulated extract was characterized using different analytical techniques. Furthermore, the loading efficiency and release of the plant extract were examined. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed the formation of an expectational product. The TEM and SEM imaging showed a spherical morphology for the prepared encapsulated extract. The average size of poly-methyl-methacrylate nanoparticles containing Ephedra extract was found to be approximately 47 nm. The extract loading efficiency and encapsulation efficiency test demonstrated a dose-depending behavior on E. intermedia extract for both analyses, which is highly advantageous for traversing biological barriers. The release assay shows a controlled release for the extract at phosphate buffer solution (PBS). A 38 % release was calculated after 36 hours. The results obtained from the present study reveal that encapsulating the plant extract is a suitable alternative to control and increase their medicinal properties.

Abstract
Macrophage hyperfunction or dysfunction is tightly associated with various diseases, such as osteoporosis, inflammatory disorder, and cancers. However, nearly all conventional drug delivery system (DDS) nanocarriers utilize endocytosis for entering target cells; thus, the development of macrophage-targeting and phagocytosis-inducing DDS nanocarriers for treating these diseases is required. In this study, we developed a hepatitis B virus (HBV) envelope L particle (i.e., bio-nanocapsule (BNC)) outwardly displaying a tandem form of protein G-derived IgG Fc-binding domain and protein L-derived IgG Fab-binding domain (GL-BNC). When conjugated with the macrophage-targeting ligand, mouse IgG2a (mIgG2a), the GL-BNC itself, and the liposome-fused GL-BNC (i.e., GL-virosome) spontaneously initiated aggregation by bridging between the Fc-binding domain and Fab-binding domain with mIgG2a. The aggregates were efficiently taken up by macrophages, whereas this was inhibited by latrunculin B, a phagocytosis-specific inhibitor. The mIgG2a-GL-virosome containing doxorubicin exhibited higher cytotoxicity toward macrophages than conventional liposomes and other BNC-based virosomes. Thus, GL-BNCs and GL-virosomes may constitute promising macrophage-targeting and phagocytosis-inducing DDS nanocarriers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE We have developed a novel macrophage-targeting and phagocytosis-inducing bio-nanocapsule (BNC)-based nanocarrier named GL-BNC, which comprises a hepatitis B virus envelope L particle outwardly displaying protein G-derived IgG Fc- and protein L-derived IgG Fab-binding domains in tandem. The GL-BNC alone or liposome-fused form (GL-virosomes) could spontaneously aggregate when conjugated with macrophage-targeting IgGs, inducing phagocytosis by the interaction between IgG Fc of aggregates and FcγR on phagocytes. Thereby these aggregates were efficiently taken up by macrophages. GL-virosomes containing doxorubicin exhibited higher cytotoxicity towards macrophages than ZZ-virosomes and liposomes. Our results suggested that GL-BNCs and GL-virosomes would serve as promising drug delivery system nanocarriers for targeting delivery to macrophages.

Preclinical evaluation of cisplatin-incorporated bio-nanocapsules as chemo-radiotherapy for human hepatocellular carcinoma. Oncol Rep 2017; 38:2259-2266.

Abstract
The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has continued to increase worldwide, and advanced HCC is difficult to treat using the currently available therapeutics. Chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum, CDDP) is expected to confer a curative benefit on HCC patients; however, its application is limited due to side-effects such as acute nephrotoxicity as well as the conventionally limited application of chemoradiotherapy for HCC. For the practical application of this drug in the clinical setting, we formulated a novel drug carrier-comprising bio-nanocapsule (BNC) and liposomal CDDP (BNC-LP-CDDP) that recognizes the human liver and releases CDDP. BNC-LP-CDDP showed selectively high cytotoxicity for HCC cells, and markedly reduced the survival fractions of HCC when combined with ionizing radiation (IR) treatment in in vitro assays. In particular, the treatment of mice bearing human HCC with BNC-LP-CDDP and 3 Gy IR showed 95.68% growth inhibition, whereas IR treatment alone showed 65.6% growth inhibition. Moreover, BNC-LP-CDDP led to the withdrawal of CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity. These results indicate that BNC-LP-CDDP in combination with IR markedly enhanced the chemo-radiotherapeutic efficacy and eliminated CDDP induced nephrotoxicity, thus, suggesting the potential for its clinical application as human HCC therapy.
