[PMID: 39121643 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.104121] [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: 06/23/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The overuse of antibiotics has resulted in a surge of drug-resistant bacteria, making the pursuit of natural antimicrobials an urgent and significant trend. Encapsulation and nanoparticulation are effective ways to enhance the antibacterial properties of natural drugs. In this study, we encapsulated tannic acid (TA) with chitosan (CS) and poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) using the emulsion-solvent evaporation method to enhance the antimicrobial effect of TA. We prepared a bilayer membrane spherical nanoemulsion of TA-PLGA-CS (TPC) with uniform size of 559.87 ± 1.16 nm, and zeta potential of 59.53 ± 1.07 mV. TPC could be stably stored for 90 days at 4°C without affecting the properties of the emulsion, and the minimum bactericidal concentration against four strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) remained unchanged for 60 d. The results indicated that TPC enhanced the inhibitory effect of TA against E. coli. Scanning electron microscope images revealed that TPC treatment caused damage to the bacterial cell membrane. In addition, in vivo experiments indicated that TPC exhibited a superior therapeutic effect on artificial colibacillosis in chickens infested with Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli, as evidenced by the changes in body weight and a reduction bacterial load in heart. Furthermore, TPC reversed the down-regulation of catalase, glutathione peroxidase1 (GPX1), and GPX7 gene expression levels in intestinal tissues. Compared to the model group, TPC treatment elevated serum glutathione peroxidase activities and lowered myeloperoxidase and lactate dehydrogenase levels, offering antioxidant protection that was slightly better than that of doxycycline hydrochlorid group. In summary, we prepared a novel TA antimicrobial preparation with significant antioxidant potential and inhibitory effect against E. coli both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Inhalation drug delivery is superior for local lung disease therapy. However, there are several unique absorption barriers for inhaled drugs to overcome, including limited drug deposition at the target site, mucociliary clearance, pulmonary macrophage phagocytosis, and systemic exposure. Moreover, the respiratory disease state can affect or even destroy the physiology of the lung, thus influencing the in vivo fate of inhaled particles compared with that in healthy lungs. Nevertheless, limited information is available on this effect. Thus, in this review, we present pathological changes of the lung microenvironment under varied respiratory diseases and their influence on the in vivo fate of inhaled particles; such insights could provide a basis for rational inhalation particle design based on specific disease states.

Gonsalves A, Menon JU. Impact of Nebulization on the Physicochemical Properties of Polymer-Lipid Hybrid Nanoparticles for Pulmonary Drug Delivery. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5028.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have shown significant potential for pulmonary administration of therapeutics for the treatment of chronic lung diseases in a localized and sustained manner. Nebulization is a suitable method of NP delivery, particularly in patients whose ability to breathe is impaired due to lung diseases. However, there are limited studies evaluating the physicochemical properties of NPs after they are passed through a nebulizer. High shear stress generated during nebulization could potentially affect the surface properties of NPs, resulting in the loss of encapsulated drugs and alteration in the release kinetics. Herein, we thoroughly examined the physicochemical properties as well as the therapeutic effectiveness of Infasurf lung surfactant (IFS)-coated PLGA NPs previously developed by us after passing through a commercial Aeroneb® vibrating-mesh nebulizer. Nebulization did not alter the size, surface charge, IFS coating and bi-phasic release pattern exhibited by the NPs. However, there was a temporary reduction in the initial release of encapsulated therapeutics in the nebulized compared to non-nebulized NPs. This underscores the importance of evaluating the drug release kinetics of NPs using the inhalation method of choice to ensure suitability for the intended medical application. The cellular uptake studies demonstrated that both nebulized and non-nebulized NPs were less readily taken up by alveolar macrophages compared to lung cancer cells, confirming the IFS coating retention. Overall, nebulization did not significantly compromise the physicochemical properties as well as therapeutic efficacy of the prepared nanotherapeutics.

Abstract
With the development of nanotechnology and confronting the problems of traditional pharmaceutical formulations in treating lung diseases, inhalable nano-formulations have attracted interest. Inhalable nano-formulations for treating lung diseases allow for precise pulmonary drug delivery, overcoming physiological barriers, improving aerosol lung deposition rates, and increasing drug bioavailability. They are expected to solve the difficulties faced in treating lung diseases. However, limited success has been recorded in the industrialization translation of inhalable nano-formulations. Only one relevant product has been approved by the FDA to date, suggesting that there are still many issues to be resolved in the clinical application of inhalable nano-formulations. These systems are characterized by a dependence on inhalation devices, while the adaptability of device formulation is still inconclusive, which is the most important issue impeding translational research. In this review, we categorized various inhalable nano-formulations, summarized the advantages of inhalable nano-formulations over conventional inhalation formulations, and listed the inhalable nano-formulations undergoing clinical studies. We focused on the influence of inhalation devices on nano-formulations and analyzed their adaptability. After extensive analysis of the drug delivery mechanisms, technical processes, and limitations of different inhalation devices, we concluded that vibrating mesh nebulizers might be most suitable for delivering inhalable nano-formulations, and related examples were introduced to validate our view. Finally, we presented the challenges and outlook for future development. We anticipate providing an informative reference for the field.

Preparation, Optimization and In Vitro Characterization of Fluticasoneloaded Mixed Micelles Based on Stearic Acid-g-chitosan as a Pulmonary Delivery System. RECENT ADVANCES IN DRUG DELIVERY AND FORMULATION 2024; 18:61-76. [PMID: 38362679 DOI: 10.2174/0126673878262764240208054140] [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: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The primary objective of this study was to optimize formulation variables and investigate the in vitro characteristics of fluticasone propionate (FP)-loaded mixed polymeric micelles, which were composed of depolymerized chitosan-stearic acid copolymer (DC-SA) in combination with either tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate or dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine for pulmonary drug delivery. METHODS A D-optimal design was employed for the optimization procedure, considering lipid/ polymer ratio, polymer concentration, drug/ polymer ratio, and lipid type as independent variables. Dependent variables included particle size, polydispersion index, zeta potential, drug encapsulation efficiency, and loading efficiency of the polymeric micelles. Additionally, the nebulization efficacy and cell viability of the optimal FP-loaded DC-SA micellar formulations were evaluated. RESULTS The mixed polymeric micelles were successfully prepared with properties falling within the desired ranges, resulting in four optimized formulations. The release of FP from the optimal systems exhibited a sustained release profile over 72 hours, with 70% of the drug still retained within the core of the micelles. The nebulization efficiency of these optimal formulations reached up to 63%, and the fine particle fraction (FPF) ranged from 41% to 48%. Cellular viability assays demonstrated that FP-loaded DC-SA polymeric micelles exhibited lower cytotoxicity than the free drug but were slightly more cytotoxic than empty mixed micelles. CONCLUSION In conclusion, this study suggests that DC-SA/ lipid mixed micelles have the potential to serve as effective carriers for nebulizing poorly soluble FP.

Int J Pharm X 2023; 6:100192.

Abstract
The amount of drug depositing in the airways depends, among others, on the inhalation manoeuvre and breathing parameters. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of lung emptying before the inhalation of drugs on the lung doses. Thirty healthy adults were recruited. Their breathing profiles were recorded while inhaling through six different emptied DPI devices without breathe-out and after comfortable or forced exhalation. The corresponding emitted doses and aerosol size distributions were derived from the literature. The Stochastic Lung Model was used to estimate the deposited doses. In general, forceful exhalation caused increased flow rate and inhaled air volume. Increased flow rate led to the increase of the average lung dose for drugs with positive lung dose-flow rate correlation (e.g. Symbicort®: relative increase of 6.7%, Bufomix®: relative increase of 9.2%). For drugs with negative correlation of lung dose with flow rate (all the studied drugs except the above two) lung emptying caused increased (Foster® by 2.7%), almost unchanged (Seebri®, Relvar®, Bretaris®) and also decreased (Onbrez® by 6.6%) average lung dose. It is worth noting that there were significant inter-individual differences, and lung dose of each drug could be increased by a number of subjects. In conclusion, the change of lung dose depends on the degree of lung emptying, but it is also inhaler and drug specific. Forceful exhalation can help in increasing the lung dose only if the above specificities are taken into account.

Supercritical antisolvent-fluidized bed for the preparation of dry powder inhaler for pulmonary delivery of nanomedicine. Int J Pharm 2023; 648:123580.

Abstract
The supercritical antisolvent-fluidized bed coating process (SAS-FB) shows great potential as a technique to manufacture dry powder inhaler (DPI) that incorporate nanodrugs onto micronized matrix particles, capitalizing on the merits of both nanoparticle and pulmonary delivery. In this study, naringin (NAR), a pharmacologically active flavonoid with low solubility and in vivo degradation issues, was utilized as a model active pharmaceutical ingredient to construct nanomedicine-based DPI through SAS-FB. It is showed that processed NAR exhibited a near-spherical shape and an amorphous structure with an average size of around 130 nm. Notably, SAS-FB products prepared with different fluidized matrices resulted in varying deposition patterns, particularly when mixed with a coarse lactose to enhance the fine particle fraction (FPF) of the formulations. The FPF was positively associated with specific surface area of the SAS-FB products, while the specific surface area was directly related to surface roughness and particle size. In vitro dissolution studies using simulated lung fluid revealed that the NAR nanoparticles coated on the products were released immediately upon contact with solution, with a cumulative dissolution exceeding 90% within the first minute. Importantly, compared to oral raw NAR, the optimized DPI formulation demonstrated superior in vivo plasmatic and pulmonary AUC0→∞ by 51.33-fold and 104.07-fold respectively in a Sprague-Dawley rat model. Overall, SAS- FB technology provides a practical approach to produce nanomedicine DPI product that combine the benefits of nanoparticles with the aerodynamics properties of inhaled microparticles.

Abstract
Understanding the in vivo transport of nanoparticles provides guidelines for designing nanomedicines with higher efficacy and fewer side effects. Among many factors, the size of nanoparticles plays a key role in controlling their in vivo transport behaviors due to the existence of various physiological size thresholds within the body and size-dependent nano-bio interactions. Encouraged by the evolving discoveries of nanoparticle-size-dependent biological effects, we believe that it is necessary to systematically summarize the size-scaling laws of nanoparticle transport in vivo. In this review, we summarized the size effect of nanoparticles on their in vivo transport along their journey in the body: begin with the administration of nanoparticles via different delivery routes, followed by the targeting of nanoparticles to intended tissues including tumors and other organs, and eventually clearance of nanoparticles through the liver or kidneys. We outlined the tools for investigating the in vivo transport of nanoparticles as well. Finally, we discussed how we may leverage the size-dependent transport to tackle some of the key challenges in nanomedicine translation and also raised important size-related questions that remain to be answered in the future.

Abstract
The lack of effective treatments for pulmonary diseases presents a significant global health burden, primarily due to the challenges posed by the pulmonary barrier that hinders drug delivery to the lungs. Inhaled nanomedicines, with their capacity for localized and precise drug delivery to specific pulmonary pathologies through the respiratory route, hold tremendous promise as a solution to these challenges. Nevertheless, the realization of efficient and safe pulmonary drug delivery remains fraught with multifaceted challenges. This review summarizes the delivery barriers associated with major pulmonary diseases, the physicochemical properties and drug formulations affecting these barriers, and emphasizes the design advantages and functional integration of nanomedicine in overcoming pulmonary barriers for efficient and safe local drug delivery. The review also deliberates on established nanocarriers and explores drug formulation strategies rooted in these nanocarriers, thereby furnishing essential guidance for the rational design and implementation of pulmonary nanotherapeutics. Finally, this review cast a forward-looking perspective, contemplating the clinical prospects and challenges inherent in the application of inhaled nanomedicines for respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Nanoparticle applications are becoming increasingly popular in fields such as photonics, catalysis, magnetics, biotechnology, manufacturing of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and medicines. There is still a huge pile of undermining information about the potential toxicity of these products to humans, which can be encountered by neuroprotective antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Nanoparticles can be administered using a variety of methods, including oronasal, topical applications, and enteral and parenteral routes of administration. There are different properties of these nanomaterials that characterize different pathways. Crossing of the blood-brain barrier, a direct sensory nerve-to-brain pathway whose barriers are bypassed, these checks otherwise prevent the nanoparticles from entering the brain. This inflicts damage to sensory neurons and receptors by nanoparticles that lead to neurotoxicity of the central nervous system. A number of routes make nanoparticles able to penetrate through the skin. Exposure by various routes to these nanoparticles can result in oxidative stress, and immune suppression triggers inflammatory cascades and genome-level mutations after they are introduced into the body. To out-power, these complications, plant-based antioxidants, essential oils, and dietary supplements can be put into use. Direct nanoparticle transport pathways from sensory nerves to the brain via blood have been studied grossly. Recent findings regarding the direct pathways through which nanoparticles cross the blood-brain barriers, how nanoparticles elicit different responses on sensory receptors and nerves, how they cause central neurotoxicity and neurodegeneration through sensory nerve routes, and the possible mechanisms that outcast these effects are discussed.

Abstract
Dry powder inhalation therapy has been effective in treating localized lung diseases such asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), cystic fibrosis and lung infections. In vitro characterization of dry powder formulations includes the determination of physicochemical nature and aerosol performance of powder particles. The relationship between particle properties (size, shape, surface morphology, porosity, solid state nature, and surface hydrophobicity) and aerosol performance of an inhalable dry powder formulation has been well established. However, unlike oral formulations, there is no standard dissolution method for evaluating the dissolution behavior of the inhalable dry powder particles in the lungs. This review focuses on various dissolution systems and absorption models, which have been developed to evaluate dry powder formulations. It covers a summary of airway epithelium, hurdles to developing an in vitro dissolution method for the inhaled dry powder particles, fine particle dose collection methods, various in vitro dissolution testing methods developed for dry powder particles, and models commonly used to study absorption of inhaled drug.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Controlled/extended-release formulations offer numerous benefits over conventional especially reduced side effects, improved therapeutic outcomes and high patient compliance. Controlled release nanocrystal is extremely versatile technology with several advantages such as very high drug loading, ease of manufacturing, avoidance of dose dumping, reproducible drug release. Usually, nanonization of drug is performed to improve dissolution rate, intrinsic solubility and thereby bioavailability. Most of the times, this is done for immediate release dosage forms where objective is quick onset of action. However, nanocrystals can also provide a sustained, reproducible plasma concentration profile for weeks to months based on tissue microenvironment, surface coating administration route. AREAS COVERED This review briefly describes the methods for producing nanocrystals, summarizes preclinical research and commercial products demonstrating tremendous potential of controlled release nanocrystals. EXPERT OPINION Lipophilic drugs are attractive candidates for the development of nanocrystal based controlled release formulations. However, constraint should be practiced while generalizing the technology for the controlled release purpose. Not all drugs fit in the requirement from the perspectives of physicochemical properties or pharmacokinetic requirements. Additionally, technologies should be explored which can convert the nanocrystal into its final dosage form for administration yet preserves the benefits of small particle size and controlled release.

Abstract
Despite advancements in the medical and pharmaceutical fields, tuberculosis remains a major health problem globally. Patients do not widely accept the conventional approach to treating tuberculosis (TB) due to prolonged treatment periods with multiple high doses of drugs and associated side effects. A pulmonary route is a non-invasive approach to delivering drugs, hormones, nucleic acid, steroids, proteins, and peptides directly to the lungs, improving the efficacy of the treatment and consequently decreasing the adverse effect of the treatment. This route has been successfully developed for the treatment of various respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), tuberculosis (TB), lung cancer, and other pulmonary infections. The major approaches of inhalation delivery systems include nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers (MDIs), and dry powder inhalers (DPIs). However, dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are more advantageous due to their stability and ability to deliver a high dose of the drug to the lungs. The present review analyzes the modern therapeutic approach of inhaled dry powders, with a special focus on novel drug delivery system (NDDS) based DPIs for the treatment of TB. The article also discussed the challenges of preparing inhalable dry powder formulations for the treatment of TB. The clinical development of inhalable anti-TB drugs is also reviewed.

Abstract
Pulmonary delivery of nanomedicines is very promising in lung local disease treatments whereas several physiological barriers limit its application via the interaction with inhaled nanomedicines, namely bio-nano interactions. These bio-nano interactions may affect the pulmonary fate of nanomedicines and impede the distribution of nanomedicines in its targeted region, and subsequently undermine the therapeutic efficacy. Pulmonary diseases are under worse scenarios as the altered physiological barriers generally induce stronger bio-nano interactions. To mitigate the bio-nano interactions and regulate the pulmonary fate of nanomedicines, a number of manipulating strategies were established based on size control, surface modification, charge tuning and co-delivery of mucolytic agents. Visualized and non-visualized characterizations can be employed to validate the robustness of the proposed strategies. This review provides a guiding overview of the physiological barriers affecting the in vivo fate of inhaled nanomedicines, the manipulating strategies, and the validation methods, which will assist with the rational design and application of pulmonary nanomedicine.

Abstract
In the current work, we aimed to deliver high dose of voriconazole (VRC) to lung through dry powder for inhalation (DPIs). Furthermore, the research tested the hypothesis that drug nanocrystals can escape the clearance mechanisms in lung by virtue of their size and rapid dissolution. High dose nanocrystalline solid dispersion (NCSD) based DPI of VRC was prepared using a novel spray drying process. Mannitol (MAN) and soya lecithin (LEC) were used as crystallization inducer and stabilizer, respectively. The powders were characterized for physicochemical and aerodynamic properties. Chemical interactions contributing to generation and stabilization of VRC nanocrystals in the matrix of MAN were established using computational studies. Performance of NCSD (VRC-N) was compared with microcrystalline solid dispersion (VRC-M) in terms of dissolution, uptake in A549 and RAW 264.7 cells. Plasma and lung distribution of VRC-N and VRC-M in Balb/c mice upon insufflation was compared with the intravenous product. In VRC-N, drug nanocrystals of size 645.86 ± 56.90 nm were successfully produced at VRC loading of 45%. MAN created physical barrier to crystal growth by interacting with N- of triazole and F- of pyrimidine ring of VRC. An increase in drug loading to 60% produced VRC crystals of size 4800 ± 200 nm (VRC-M). The optimized powders were crystalline and showed deposition at stage 2 and 3 in NGI. In comparison to VRC-M, more than 80% of VRC-N dissolved rapidly in around 5-10 mins, therefore, showed higher and lower drug uptake into A549 and RAW 264.7 cells, respectively. In contrast to intravenous product, insufflation of VRC-N and VRC-M led to higher drug concentrations in lung in comparison to plasma. VRC-N showed higher lung AUC0-24 due to escape of macrophage clearance.

Abstract
Research on contamination of groundwater and drinking water is of major importance. Due to the rapid and significant progress in the last decade in nanotechnology and its potential applications to water purification, such as adsorption of heavy metal ion from contaminated water, a wide number of articles have been published. An evaluating frame of the main findings of recent research on heavy metal removal using magnetic nanoparticles, with emphasis on water quality and method applicability, is presented. A large number of articles have been studied with a focus on the synthesis and characterization procedures for bare and modified magnetic nanoparticles as well as on their adsorption capacity and the corresponding desorption process of the methods are presented. The present review analysis shows that the experimental procedures demonstrate high adsorption capacity for pollutants from aquatic solutions. Moreover, reuse of the employed nanoparticles up to five times leads to an efficiency up to 90%. We must mention also that in some rare occasions, nanoparticles have been reused up to 22 times.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is one of the leading causes of mortality accounting for almost 25% of cancer deaths throughout the world. The shortfall of affordable and effective first-line chemotherapeutics, the existence of resistant tumors, and the non-optimal route of administration contribute to poor prognosis and high mortality in LC. Administration of repurposed non-oncology drugs (RNODs) loaded in nanocarriers (NCs) via inhalation may prove as an effective alternative strategy to treat LC. Furthermore, their site-specific release through inhalation route using an appropriate inhalation device would offer improved therapeutic efficacy, thereby reducing mortality and improving patients' quality of life. The current manuscript offers a comprehensive overview on use of RNODs in LC treatment with an emphasis on their inhalation delivery and the associated challenges. The role of NCs to improve lung deposition and targeting of RNODs via inhalation are also elaborated. In addition, information about various RNODs in clinical trials for the treatment of LC, possibility for repurposing phytoceuticals against LC via inhalation and the bottlenecks associated with repurposing RNODs against cancer are also highlighted. Based on the reported studies covered in this manuscript, it was understood that delivery of RNODs via inhalation has emerged as a propitious approach. Hence, it is anticipated to provide effective first-line treatment at an affordable cost in debilitating LC from low and middle-income countries (LMIC).

Abstract
The novel particle generation processes of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)/drug have been extensively explored in recent decades due to their wide-range applications in the pharmaceutical industry. The Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions (RESS) is one of the promising techniques to obtain the fine particles (micro to nano-size) of APIs with narrow particle size distribution (PSD). In RESS, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2) and API are used as solvent and solute respectively. In this literature survey, the application of RESS in the formation of fine particles is critically reviewed. Solubility of API in SC CO2 and supersaturation are the key factors in tuning the particle size. The different approaches to model and predict the solubility of API in SC CO2 are discussed. Then, the effect of process parameters on mean particle size and the particle size distribution are interpreted in the context of solubility and supersaturation. Furthermore, the less-explored applications of RESS in preparation of solid-lipid nanoparticles, liposome, polymorphic conversion, cocrystallization and inclusion complexation are compared with traditional processes. The solubility enhancement of API in SC CO2 using co-solvent and its applications in particle generation are explored in published literature. The development and modifications in the conventional RESS process to overcome the limitations of RESS are presented. Finally, the perspective on RESS with special attention to its commercial operation is highlighted.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the second most common and lethal cancer in the world. Chemotherapy is the preferred treatment modality for lung cancer and prolongs patient survival by effective controlling of tumor growth. However, owing to the nonspecific delivery of anticancer drugs, systemic chemotherapy has limited clinical efficacy and significant systemic adverse effects. Inhalation routes, on the other hand, allow for direct delivery of drugs to the lungs in high local concentrations, enhancing their anti-tumor activity with minimum side effects. Preliminary research studies have shown that inhaled chemotherapy may be tolerated with manageable adverse effects such as bronchospasm and cough. Enhancing the anticancer drugs deposition in tumor cells and limiting their distribution to other healthy cells will therefore increase their clinical efficacy and decrease their local and systemic toxicities. Because of the controlled release and localization of tumors, nanoparticle formulations are a viable option for the delivery of chemotherapeutics to lung cancers via inhalation. The respiratory tract physiology and lung clearance mechanisms are the key barriers to the effective deposition and preservation of inhaled nanoparticle formulations in the lungs. Designing and creating smart nanoformulations to optimize lung deposition, minimize pulmonary clearance, and improve cancerous tissue targeting have been the subject of recent research studies. This review focuses on recent examples of work in this area, along with the opportunities and challenges for the pulmonary delivery of smart nanoformulations to treat lung cancers.

Abdulbaqi IM, Assi RA, Yaghmur A, Darwis Y, Mohtar N, Parumasivam T, Saqallah FG, Wahab HA. Pulmonary Delivery of Anticancer Drugs via Lipid-Based Nanocarriers for the Treatment of Lung Cancer: An Update. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:725. [PMID: 34451824 PMCID: PMC8400724 DOI: 10.3390/ph14080725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, responsible for approximately 18.4% of all cancer mortalities in both sexes combined. The use of systemic therapeutics remains one of the primary treatments for LC. However, the therapeutic efficacy of these agents is limited due to their associated severe adverse effects, systemic toxicity and poor selectivity. In contrast, pulmonary delivery of anticancer drugs can provide many advantages over conventional routes. The inhalation route allows the direct delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the target LC cells with high local concertation that may enhance the antitumor activity and lead to lower dosing and fewer systemic toxicities. Nevertheless, this route faces by many physiological barriers and technological challenges that may significantly affect the lung deposition, retention, and efficacy of anticancer drugs. The use of lipid-based nanocarriers could potentially overcome these problems owing to their unique characteristics, such as the ability to entrap drugs with various physicochemical properties, and their enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect for passive targeting. Besides, they can be functionalized with different targeting moieties for active targeting. This article highlights the physiological, physicochemical, and technological considerations for efficient inhalable anticancer delivery using lipid-based nanocarriers and their cutting-edge role in LC treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Drug particles inhaled via the respiratory system must first dissolve in the respiratory tract lining fluid (RTLF) that lies on the surfaces of airways and alveoli, so that they are absorbed and have therapeutic action. Artificial simulated RTLFs are often used for in vitro dissolution studies to determine the solubility and dissolution of inhaled drug particles. Such studies can be used to predict bioavailability minimizing the requirement for in vivo studies. Numerous studies have been conducted to develop bio-relevant simulated RTLFs; however, to date, there is no singular simulated RTLF that closely resembles human RTLF.Areas covered: This review focuses on the composition of natural and simulated RTLFs and their use in in vitro dissolution studies.Expert opinion: There is variation in the composition and thickness of RTLF along the respiratory tract. Identification of the actual concentration of components of endogenous RTLF present in different areas of the respiratory tract helps in the development of region-specific simulated RTLFs. It is recommended that region-specific simulated RTLFs can be prepared by varying concentration of major RTLF components like mucus/gel simulants, lipids/surfactants, peptides/proteins, and inorganic/organic salts.

Abstract
One of the simplest design concepts of inhaled sustained drug delivery to the lung is to utilize the slow dissolution of drug crystals with poor aqueous solubility. An optimum dissolution rate, and thereby a delivery profile locally in the lung tissue, can be achieved in a reliable way by selecting a compound with an appropriate combination of solubility and particle size. It is in our experience relatively straightforward to manufacture monomodal particle size distributions of poorly soluble drug crystals in the mass median diameter range of either a few micrometers or a few hundred nanometers, but very challenging to manufacture a monomodal distribution in the range intermediate to these two. In this manuscript, we describe an investigation with the objective of generating desired particle sizes in the whole size range from a few micrometers to a few hundred nanometers for inhaled sustained drug delivery, by utilizing Adaptive Focused Acoustic (AFA) milling and planetary bead-milling. By combining the two different milling techniques it was possible to produce two to three distinctly different monomodal or almost monomodal particle size distributions in the desired particle size range of each of the model drug compounds in milligram scale. The dissolution kinetics of the different particle sizes of the model drugs were measured experimentally as well as predicted theoretically, showcasing that the dissolution kinetics can be characterized, predicted and significantly changed in a controlled way by modifying the particle size. For one of the model drugs, it was shown in an in vivo rat study that the inhaled sustained drug delivery profile in the lung tissue could be significantly changed by modifying the particle size of the drug.

Abstract
Introduction: Airway mucus gel layer serves as a key delivery barrier that limits the performance of inhaled drug delivery nanoparticles. Conventional nanoparticles are readily trapped by the airway mucus and rapidly cleared from the lung via mucus clearance mechanisms. These nanoparticles cannot distribute throughout the lung airways, long-reside in the lung and/or reach the airway epithelium. To address this challenge, strategies to enhance particle penetration through the airway mucus have been developed and proof-of-concept has been established using mucus model systems..Areas covered: In this review, we first overview the biochemical and biophysical characteristics that render the airway mucus a challenging delivery barrier. We then introduce strategies to improve particle penetration through the airway mucus. Specifically, we walk through two classes of approaches, including modification of physicochemical properties of nanoparticles and modulation of barrier properties of airway mucus.Expert opinion: State-of-the-art strategies to overcome the airway mucus barrier have been introduced and experimentally validated. However, data should be interpreted in the comprehensive context of therapeutic delivery from the site of administration to the final destination to determine clinically-relevant approaches. Further, safety should be carefully monitored, particularly when it comes to mucus-altering strategies that may perturb physiological functions of airway mucus.

Abstract
Pulmonary delivery of lipid-based nanotherapeutics by inhalation presents an advantageous alternative to oral and intravenous routes of administration that avoids enzymatic degradation in gastrointestinal tract and hepatic first pass metabolism and also limits off-target adverse side effects upon heathy tissues. For lung-related indications, inhalation provides localized delivery in order to enhance therapeutic efficacy at the site of action. Optimization of physicochemical properties, selected drug and inhalation format can greatly influence the pharmacokinetic behavior of inhaled nanoparticle systems and their payloads. The present review analyzes a wide range of nanoparticle systems, their formulations and consequent effect on pharmacokinetic distribution of delivered active components after inhalation.

Abstract
The confined liquid impinging jets (CLIJ) technique was applied as a simple and effective approach to reducing the particle size of loratadine to enhance its solubility. The effect of anti-solvent (AS) to solution (S) flow rate ratio, organic phase concentration, Reynolds number (Re), and stabilizer concentration was investigated in this reduction process. After the synthesis, the chemical and physical properties of loratadine nanoparticles were determined through different characterization and analytical techniques. The results indicated that the particle size of loratadine decreases from 320 nm to 80 nm by increasing the AS/S ratio from 1 to 25. It was found that the particle size of loratadine was unchanged at the higher AS/S ratios. The loratadine nanoparticle size was optimized by changing the solution concentration, Re, and Tween 80 as a stabilizer. The finest loratadine nanoparticle size of about 53 nm was obtained with a narrow size distribution, which corresponds to solution concentration of 35 mg/mL, Re of 5687, and 0.1% (w/v) stabilizer concentration. It was revealed that the optimized loratadine nanoparticles completely dissolved after 11 min, indicating the loratadine nanoparticle dissolution rate 50 times faster than raw loratadine.

Abstract
Paclitaxel (as intravenous Taxol) is one of the most applied chemotherapeutics used for the treatment of lung cancer. This project involves the development of a dry powder nanocomposite microparticle (nCmP) aerosol containing PTX-loaded nanoparticles (NP) to be delivered via a dry powder inhaler to the lungs for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nanoparticles were formulated by a single emulsion and solvent evaporation method, producing smooth, neutral PTX NP of approximately 200 nm in size. PTX nCmP were obtained via spray drying PTX NP with mannitol, producing amorphous wrinkled particles that demonstrated optimal aerosol deposition for in vitro pulmonary delivery. Free PTX, PTX NP, and PTX nCmP were evaluated in vitro in both 2D monolayers and 3D multicellular spheroids (MCS). PTX NP enhanced cytotoxicity when compared to pure drug in the 2D evaluation. However, on a liquid culture 3D tumor spheroid model, PTX NP and pure PTX showed similar efficacy in growth inhibition of MCS. The PTX nCmP formulation had a comparable cytotoxicity impact on MCS compared with free PTX. Finally, PTX nCmP were evaluated in an air-grown 3D MCS platform that mimics the pulmonary environment, representing a new model for the assessment of dry powder formulations.

Abstract
Several key attributes of zebrafish make them an ideal model system for the discovery and development of regeneration promoting therapeutics; most notably their robust capacity for self-repair which extends to the central nervous system. Further, by enabling large-scale drug discovery directly in living vertebrate disease models, zebrafish circumvent critical bottlenecks which have driven drug development costs up. This review summarizes currently available zebrafish phenotypic screening platforms, HTS-ready neurodegenerative disease modeling strategies, zebrafish small molecule screens which have succeeded in identifying regeneration promoting compounds and explores how intravital imaging in zebrafish can facilitate comprehensive analysis of nanocarrier biodistribution and pharmacokinetics. Finally, we discuss the benefits and challenges attending the combination of zebrafish and nanoparticle-based drug optimization, highlighting inspiring proof-of-concept studies and looking toward implementation across the drug development community.

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious problems that researchers of multiple disciplines are working on. The number of new antibiotics and their targeted structures have continuously decreased emphasizing the demand of alternative therapy for bacterial infections. Photodynamic therapy is such a promising strategy that has been proven to be effective against a wide range of bacterial strains. In this study, an inhalable nanoformulation for photodynamic therapy against respiratory infections was developed in the form of nano-in-microparticles consisting of curcumin nanoparticles embedded in a mannitol matrix. The produced nano-in-microparticles exhibited suitable aerodynamic properties with a mass median aerodynamic diameter of 2.88 ± 0.13 µm and a high fine particle fraction of 60.99 ± 9.50%. They could be readily redispersed in an aqueous medium producing the original nanoparticles without any substantial changes in their properties. This was confirmed using dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy. Furthermore, the redispersed nanoparticles showed an efficient antibacterial photoactivity causing 99.99992% (6.1log10) and 97.75% (1.6log10) reduction in the viability of Staphylococcus saprophyticus subsp. bovis and Escherichia coli DH5 alpha respectively. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that nano-in-microparticles represent promising drug delivery systems for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy.

[PMID: 31261685 PMCID: PMC6678324 DOI: 10.3390/cancers11070906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2019] [Revised: 05/31/2019] [Accepted: 06/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent advances in locoregional chemotherapy have opened the door to new approaches for the clinical management of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) by facilitating the delivery of anti-neoplastic agents directly to the tumor site, while mitigating adverse effects typically associated with systemic administration. In particular, an innovative intra-abdominal chemotherapeutic approach, known as Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC), was recently introduced to the intraperitoneal (IP) therapy regimens as a palliative therapeutic option in patients with PC, presumably providing a better drug distribution pattern together with deeper drug penetration into tumor nodules within the peritoneal space. Furthermore, the progress of nanotechnology in the past few decades has prompted the application of different nanomaterials in IP cancer therapy, offering new possibilities in this field ranging from an extended retention time to sustained drug release in the peritoneal cavity. This review highlights the progress, challenges, and opportunities in utilizing cancer nanotherapeutics for locoregional drug delivery, with a special emphasis on the aerosolization approach for intraperitoneal therapies.

ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2019; 55:medicina55060294. [PMID: 31226865 PMCID: PMC6631245 DOI: 10.3390/medicina55060294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2019] [Revised: 06/11/2019] [Accepted: 06/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Background and Oobjectives: Lung cancer, a pressing issue in present-day society due to its high prevalence and mortality rate, can be managed effectively by long-term delivery of anticancer agents encapsulated in nanoparticles in the form of inhalable dry powder. This approach is expected to be of strategic importance in the management of lung cancer and is a developing area in current research. In the present investigation, we report on the formulation and characterization of docetaxel inhalable nanoparticles as a viable alternative for effective treatment of non-small cell lung cancer as a long-term delivery choice. Materials and Methods: Poloxamer (PLX-188) coated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles containing docetaxel (DTX-NPs) were prepared by simple oil in water (o/w) single emulsification-solvent evaporation process. The nanoparticles were collected as pellet by centrifugation, dispersed in mannitol solution, and lyophilized to get dry powder. Results: Optimized DTX-NPs were smooth and spherical in morphology, had particle size around 200 nm, zeta potential around −36 mV, and entrapment efficiency of around 60%. The in vitro anticancer assay was assessed and it was observed that nanoparticle-based formulation exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity when compared to the free form of the drug post 48 h. On examining for in vitro drug release, slow but continuous release was seen until 96 h following Higuchi release kinetics. DTX-NPs were able to maintain their desired characteristics when studied at accelerated conditions of stability. Conclusions: In-vivo study indicated that the optimized nanoparticles were well retained in lungs and that the drug level could be maintained for a longer duration if given in the form of DTX-NPs by the pulmonary route. Thus, the non-invasive nature and target specificity of DTX-NPs paves the way for its future use as a pulmonary delivery for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Development of inhalable curcumin loaded Nano-in-Microparticles for bronchoscopic photodynamic therapy. Eur J Pharm Sci 2019; 132:63-71. [PMID: 30797026 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2019.02.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2018] [Revised: 02/05/2019] [Accepted: 02/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is amongst the most rapidly developing therapeutic strategies against cancer. However, most photosensitizers are administered intravenously with very few reports about pulmonary applications. To address this issue, an inhalable formulation consisting of nanoparticles loaded with photosensitizer (i.e. curcumin) was developed. The nanoparticles were prepared using nanoprecipitation method. Dynamic light scattering measurements of the curcumin loaded nanoparticles revealed a hydrodynamic diameter of 181.20 ± 11.52 nm. In vitro irradiation experiments with human lung epithelial carcinoma cells (A549) showed a selective cellular toxicity of the nanoparticles upon activation using LED irradiating device. Moreover, curcumin nanoparticles exhibited a dose-dependent photocytotoxicity and the IC50 values of curcumin were directly dependent on the radiation fluence used. The nanoparticles were subsequently spray dried using mannitol as a stabilizer to produce Nano-in-Microparticles with appropriate aerodynamic properties for a sufficient deposition in the lungs. This was confirmed using the next generation impactor, which revealed a large fine particle fraction (64.94 ± 3.47%) and a mass median aerodynamic diameter of 3.02 ± 0.07 μm. Nano-in-Microparticles exhibited a good redispersibility and disintegrated into the original nanoparticles upon redispersion in aqueous medium. The Langmuir monolayer experiments revealed an excellent compatibility of the nanoparticles with the lung surfactant. Results from this study showed that the Nano-in-Microparticles are promising drug carriers for the photodynamic therapy of lung cancer.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are zero-dimensional nanomaterials and, based on their nature, they can be categorized into organic, inorganic, and composites nanoparticles. Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, nanoparticles are extensively used in a variety of fields, including medicine, pharmaceutics, and food industry. Although they have the potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases, it is fundamentally important to develop standardized toxicological studies, which can prevent the induction of neurotoxic effects. The focus of this review is to emphasize both the beneficial and negative effects of nanoparticles on brain health.

Abstract
In this study, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP)-loaded poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles were prepared for pulmonary administration. CIP-loaded PCL nanoparticles were prepared using solid-in-oil-in-water (s/o/w) emulsion solvent evaporation method, and the effects of various formulation parameters on the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were investigated. PCL nanoparticles showed spherical shapes with particle sizes around 143-489 nm. Encapsulation efficiency was found to be very low because of water-solubility properties of CIP. However, the surface modification of nanoparticles with chitosan caused an increase in the encapsulation efficiency of nanoparticles. At drug release study, CIP-loaded PCL nanoparticles showed initial burst effect for 4 h and then continuously released for 72 h. Nanocomposite microparticles containing CIP-loaded PCL nanoparticles were prepared freeze-drying method and mannitol was used as carrier material. Tapped density and MMADt results show that nanocomposite microparticles have suitable aerodynamic properties for pulmonary administration. Antimicrobial efficacy investigations showed that CIP-encapsulated PCL nanoparticles and nanocomposite microparticles inhibited the growth of bacteria. Also, when the antimicrobial activity of the nanoparticles at the beginning and at the sixth month was examined, it was found that the structure of the particulate system was still preserved. These results indicated that nanocomposite microparticles containing CIP-loaded PCL nanoparticles can be used for pulmonary delivery.

Abstract
Inhaled medication is the cornerstone in the treatment of patients across a spectrum of respiratory diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The benefits of inhaled therapy have long been recognised but the most important innovations have occurred over the past 60 years, beginning with the invention of the pressurised metered dose inhaler. However, despite over 230 different device and drug combinations currently being available, disease control is far from perfect. Here we look at how innovation in inhaler design may improve treatments for respiratory diseases and how new formulations may lead to treatments for diseases beyond the lungs. We look at the three main areas where innovation in inhaled therapy is most likely to occur: 1) device engineering and design; 2) chemistry and formulations; and 3) digital technology associated with inhalers. Inhaler design has improved significantly but considerable challenges still remain in order to continually innovate and improve targeted drug delivery to the lungs. Healthcare professionals want see innovations that motivate their patients to achieve their goal of improving their health, through better adherence to treatment. Patients want devices that are easy to use and to see that their efforts are rewarded by improvements in their condition. KEY POINTS The dictionary definition of innovation is the introduction of new things, ideas or ways of doing something. We show how this definition can be applied to inhaled therapy.We take a look at the past to see what drove innovation in inhaler design and how this has led to the current devices.We look at the current drivers of innovation in engineering, chemistry and digital technology and predict how this may translate to new devices.Can innovation help the healthcare professional manage their patients better?What does the patient expect from innovation in their device? EDUCATIONAL AIMS To understand the importance of inhaled medication in the treatment of lung diseases.To understand how innovation has helped advance some of the devices patients use today from basic and inefficient designs.To understand the obstacles that prevent patients from receiving optimal treatment from their inhalers.To understand how innovation in inhaler design can lead to improved treatment for patients and widen the range of diseases that can be treated via the inhaled route.

Abstract
Nanotechnology advancements have led to the development of its allied fields, such as nanoparticle synthesis and their applications in the field of biomedicine. Nanotechnology driven innovations have given a hope to the patients as well as physicians in solving the complex medical problems. Nanoparticles with a size ranging from 0.2 to 100 nm are associated with an increased surface to volume ratio. Moreover, the physico-chemical and biological properties of nanoparticles can be modified depending on the applications. Different nanoparticles have been documented with a wide range of applications in various fields of medicine and biology including cancer therapy, drug delivery, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biomolecules detection, and also as antimicrobial agents. However, the development of stable and effective nanoparticles requires a profound knowledge on both physico-chemical features of nanomaterials and their intended applications. Further, the health risks associated with the use of engineered nanoparticles needs a serious attention.

Abstract
Variously synthesized and fabricated Bi2Se3 nanoparticles (NPs) have recently been explored for their theranostic properties. Herein, we investigated the long term in-vivo biodistribution of Bi2Se3 NPs and systematically screened its immune-toxic potential over lungs and other secondary organs post intratracheal instillation. X-Ray CT scan and ICP MS results revealed significant particle localization and retention in lungs monitored for 1 h and 6 months time period respectively. Subsequent particle trafficking was observed in liver, the major reticuloendothelial organ followed by gradual but incomplete renal clearance. Pulmonary cytotoxicity was also found to be associated with persistent neutrophilic and ROS generation at all time points following NP exposure. The inflammatory markers along with ROS generation further promoted oxidative stress and exaggerated additional inflammatory pathways leading to cell death. The present study, therefore, raises serious concern about the hazardous effects of Bi2Se3 NPs and calls for further toxicity assessments through different administration routes and doses as well.
