Antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130389. [PMID: 38403207 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
Curcumin, a bioactive compound derived from the rhizome of Curcuma longa, has gained widespread attention for its potential therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer effects. However, its poor aqueous solubility, instability and limited bioavailability have hindered its clinical applications. New beads formulations based on sodium alginate biopolymer (SA) and poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) were successfully prepared and evaluated as a potential drug vehicle for extended release of curcumin (Cur). Pristine and curcumin loaded calcium alginate/poly vinyl alcohol beads (CA/PVA and CA/PVA/Cur) at different compositions of SA and PVA were prepared by an ionotropic gelation method of SA followed by two freeze-thawing (FT) cycles for further crosslinking of PVA. Characterization techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Visible spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to confirm the successful microencapsulation of curcumin within the CA/PVA microcapsules. Furthermore, the swelling of pristine beads, pH-sensitive properties and in vitro release studies of curcumin loaded beads were investigated at 37 °C in simulated gastric fluid (SGF), simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) and simulated colonic fluid (SCF). The effect of the polymer blend ratio, the encapsulation efficiency (EE %) of curcumin, the loading capacity (LC μg/mg), the sphericity factor (SF), the antioxidant activity of the elaborated beads and their antimicrobial properties against bacteria and fungi were just as much evaluated. The obtained results indicate that the swelling and the behavior of the developed beads were influenced by the pH of the test medium and the PVA content. The introduction of PVA into the SA matrix greatly enhanced the physicochemical properties, the encapsulation efficiency and the loading capacity of the elaborated microparticles. Results also suggested that the antioxidant activity of the loaded beads (CA/PVA/Cur) showed a higher DPPH radical scavenging activity while the bacterial and fungal strains proved sensitive to the different formulations used in the assay. Moreover, the important drug encapsulation efficiency and the sustainable drug release of these materials make them promising for the development of new drug carrier systems for colon targeting.

Abstract
The present paper describes the preparation and characterization of novel microbeads from alginate filled with nanoclay such as halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). HNTs were used as support for the growth of layered double hydroxide (LDH) crystals producing a flower-like structure (HNT@LDH). Such nanofiller was loaded with grapefruit seed oil (GO), an active compound with antimicrobial activity, up to 50% wt. For comparison, the beads were also loaded with HNT and LDH separately, and filled with the same amount of GO. The characterization of the filler was performed using XRD and ATR spectroscopy. The beads were analyzed through XRD, TGA, ATR and SEM. The functional properties of the beads, as nanocarriers of the active compound, were investigated using UV-vis spectroscopy. The release kinetics were recorded and modelled as a function of the structural characteristics of the nanofiller.

Abstract
Bioprinting is an additive manufacturing technique that combines living cells, biomaterials, and biological molecules to develop biologically functional constructs. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is commonly used as anin vitromodeling system and is a more accurate representation ofin vivoconditions in comparison to two-dimensional cell culture. Although 3D bioprinting has been utilized in various tissue engineering and clinical applications, it only takes into consideration the initial state of the printed scaffold or object. Four-dimensional (4D) bioprinting has emerged in recent years to incorporate the additional dimension of time within the printed 3D scaffolds. During the 4D bioprinting process, an external stimulus is exposed to the printed construct, which ultimately changes its shape or functionality. By studying how the structures and the embedded cells respond to various stimuli, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of the functionality of native tissues. This review paper will focus on the biomaterial breakthroughs in the newly advancing field of 4D bioprinting and their applications in tissue engineering and regeneration. In addition, the use of smart biomaterials and 4D printing mechanisms for tissue engineering applications is discussed to demonstrate potential insights for novel 4D bioprinting applications. To address the current challenges with this technology, we will conclude with future perspectives involving the incorporation of biological scaffolds and self-assembling nanomaterials in bioprinted tissue constructs.

Photocrosslinkable gelatin-treated dentin matrix hydrogel as a novel pulp capping agent for dentin regeneration: I. synthesis, characterizations and grafting optimization. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:536. [PMID: 37542230 PMCID: PMC10401831 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03236-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, treated dentin matrix (TDM) has been introduced as a bioactive hydrogel for dentin regeneration in DPC. However, no study has introduced TDM as a photocrosslinkable hydrogel with a natural photoinitiating system. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the synthesis, characterizations and grafting optimization of injectable gelatin- glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)/TDM hydrogels as a novel photocrosslinkable pulp capping agent for dentin regeneration. METHODS G-GMA/TDM hydrogel was photocrosslinked using a new two-component photoinitiating system composed of riboflavin as a photoinitiator under visible light and glycine as a first time coinitiator with riboflavin. The grafting reaction conditions of G-GMA/TDM e.g. GMA concentration and reaction time were optimized. The kinetic parameters e.g. grafting efficiency (GE) and grafting percentage (GP%) were calculated to optimize the grafting reaction, while yield (%) was determined to monitor the formation of the hydrogel. Moreover, G-GMA/TDM hydrogels were characterized by swelling ratio, degradation degree, and cytotoxicity. The instrumental characterizations e.g. FTIR, 1H-NMR, SEM and TGA, were investigated for verifying the grafting reaction. Statistical analysis was performed using F test (ANOVA) and Post Hoc Test (P = 0.05). RESULTS The grafting reaction dramatically increased with an increase of both GMA concentration and reaction time. It was realized that the swelling degree and degradation rate of G-GMA/TDM hydrogels were significantly reduced by increasing the GMA concentration and prolonging the reaction time. When compared to the safe low and moderate GMA content hydrogels (0.048, 0.097 M) and shorter reaction times (6, 12, 24 h), G-GMA/TDM with high GMA contents (0.195, 0.391 M) and a prolonged reaction time (48 h) demonstrated cytotoxic effects against cells using the MTT assay. Also, the morphological surface of G-GMA/TDM freeze-dried gels was found more compacted, smooth and uniform due to the grafting process. Significant thermal stability was noticed due to the grafting reaction of G-GMA/TDM throughout the TGA results. CONCLUSIONS G-GMA/TDM composite hydrogel formed by the riboflavin/glycine photoinitiating system is a potential bioactive and biocompatible system for in-situ crosslinking the activated-light pulp capping agent for dentin regeneration.

Dynamic modulation and epoxy functionalization of protein-mediated enoate ester-based hybrid cryogels. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 223:1158-1179.

Abstract
The current work is focused on the preparation of protein-mediated poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate) copolymer as a self-template for in situ synthesis of hybrid gels. Gelatin, collagen, biotin, and l-arginine were used to create hybrid materials with adjustable swelling and elastic properties. Hybrid cryogels tended to swell more than hybrid hydrogels due to their porous nature. Collaged-doped cryogels had the highest swelling, whereas gelatin-doped hybrids showed enhanced elastic modulus. All hybrid gels exhibited pH-sensitive swelling to controlled release applications depending on the degree of protonation of NH2 and COOH groups in the side chains. At low pH conditions, hybrid cryogels exhibited a higher swelling tendency compared to hydrogels. Ion-stimulus-response of hybrid gels was studied to evaluate the effect of salt concentration and features of ambient ions on swelling. Depending on the polyelectrolytic or polyampholytic nature, the extent of swelling in NaCl and KCl solutions varied according to the charge distribution in the network chains. Hybrid gels showed excellent adsorption performance for methyl orange by the presence of epoxy, hydroxyl groups, amino and carboxyl groups providing sufficient active sites. Adsorption capacity of hybrid cryogels is higher than that of hydrogels. The removal rate 97/%, reached an equilibrium state in a short period, suggested that collagen-doped hybrid cryogels have a potential application to remove dyestuff from wastewater. In relation to the decrease of methyl orange concentration in solution, adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Avrami model has provided a better experimental-calculated fit and adsorption thermodynamics analysis indicated that the adsorption was a spontaneous process with a negative standard free energy. The characteristic findings from this research will provide insights into the design and application of enoate-ester and protein-based combinations in the food, biomedical and cosmetic fields.

Abstract
The clinical need for photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been growing for several decades. Notably, PDT is often used in oncology to treat a variety of tumors since it is a low-risk therapy with excellent selectivity, does not conflict with other therapies, and may be repeated as necessary. The mechanism of action of PDT is the photoactivation of a particular photosensitizer (PS) in a tumor microenvironment in the presence of oxygen. During PDT, cancer cells produce singlet oxygen (1O2) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon activation of PSs by irradiation, which efficiently kills the tumor. However, PDT's effectiveness in curing a deep-seated malignancy is constrained by three key reasons: a tumor's inadequate PS accumulation in tumor tissues, a hypoxic core with low oxygen content in solid tumors, and limited depth of light penetration. PDTs are therefore restricted to the management of thin and superficial cancers. With the development of nanotechnology, PDT's ability to penetrate deep tumor tissues and exert desired therapeutic effects has become a reality. However, further advancement in this field of research is necessary to address the challenges with PDT and ameliorate the therapeutic outcome. This review presents an overview of PSs, the mechanism of loading of PSs, nanomedicine-based solutions for enhancing PDT, and their biological applications including chemodynamic therapy, chemo-photodynamic therapy, PDT-electroporation, photodynamic-photothermal (PDT-PTT) therapy, and PDT-immunotherapy. Furthermore, the review discusses the mechanism of ROS generation in PDT advantages and challenges of PSs in PDT.

Abstract
Thymoquinone (TQ), the main active constituent of Nigella sativa, has demonstrated broad-spectrum antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, which suggest its potential use in secondary infections caused by COVID-19. However, clinical deployment has been hindered due to its limited aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability. Therefore, a targeted delivery system to the lungs using nanotechnology is needed to overcome limitations encountered with TQ. In this project, a novel TQ-loaded poly(ester amide) based on L-arginine nanoparticles was prepared using the interfacial polycondensation method for a dry powder inhaler targeting delivery of TQ to the lungs. The nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR and NMR to confirm the structure. Transmission electron microscopy and Zetasizer results confirmed the particle diameter of 52 nm. The high-dose formulation showed the entrapment efficiency and loading capacity values of TQ to be 99.77% and 35.56%, respectively. An XRD study proved that TQ did not change its crystallinity, which was further confirmed by the DSC study. Optimized nanoparticles were evaluated for their in vitro aerodynamic performance, which demonstrated an effective delivery of 22.7–23.7% of the nominal dose into the lower parts of the lungs. The high drug-targeting potential and efficiency demonstrates the significant role of the TQ nanoparticles for potential application in COVID-19 and other respiratory conditions.

Abstract
Bone is one of the most sophisticated and dynamic tissues in the human body, and is characterized by its remarkable potential for regeneration. In most cases, bone has the capacity to be restored to its original form with homeostatic functionality after injury without any remaining scarring. Throughout the fascinating processes of bone regeneration, a plethora of cell lineages and signaling molecules, together with the extracellular matrix, are precisely regulated at multiple length and time scales. However, conditions, such as delayed unions (or nonunion) and critical-sized bone defects, represent thorny challenges for orthopedic surgeons. During recent decades, a variety of novel biomaterials have been designed to mimic the organic and inorganic structure of the bone microenvironment, which have tremendously promoted and accelerated bone healing throughout different stages of bone regeneration. Advances in tissue engineering endowed bone scaffolds with phenomenal osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity, vascularization and neurotization effects as well as alluring properties, such as antibacterial effects. According to the dimensional structure and functional mechanism, these biomaterials are categorized as zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and four-dimensional biomaterials. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the astounding advances in emerging biomaterials for bone regeneration by categorizing them as zero-dimensional to four-dimensional biomaterials, which were further elucidated by typical examples. Hopefully, this review will provide some inspiration for the future design of biomaterials for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based hydrogels are particularly attractive materials for biomedical applications. However, their use is restricted due to their brittleness and poor mechanical properties. Here, to overcome such limitations, we report an original, green, simple, and efficient strategy to synthesize a polysaccharide-based hydrogel of chitosan (Cht) and a vinyl-functionalized PVA (PVA-MA), a non-toxic synthetic polymer that is widely known to improve the mechanical properties and stability of materials containing polysaccharides. The hydrogel was crosslinked through an aza-Michael addition among the amino groups of Cht with the vinyl moieties of PVA-MA catalyzed by boric acid (B(OH)3), an eco-friendly inorganic compound. Characterization analyses revealed that the prepared hydrogel has a porous-like morphology, an outstanding liquid uptake capacity (>665%), and improved stability in a physiological fluid for long periods. In summary, this original and simple strategy showed to be efficient in the synthesis of hydrogels with attractive properties for the biomedical field application.

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
Four-dimensional (4D) bioprinting, in which the concept of time is integrated with three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting as the fourth dimension, has currently emerged as the next-generation solution of tissue engineering as it presents the possibility of constructing complex, functional structures. 4D bioprinting can be used to fabricate dynamic 3D-patterned biological architectures that will change their shapes under various stimuli by employing stimuli-responsive materials. The functional transformation and maturation of printed cell-laden constructs over time are also regarded as 4D bioprinting, providing unprecedented potential for bone tissue engineering. The shape memory properties of printed structures cater to the need for personalized bone defect repair and the functional maturation procedures promote the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. In this review, we introduce the application of different stimuli-responsive biomaterials in tissue engineering and a series of 4D bioprinting strategies based on functional transformation of printed structures. Furthermore, we discuss the application of 4D bioprinting in bone tissue engineering, as well as the current challenges and future perspectives. STATEMENTS OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this review, we have demonstrated the 4D bioprinting technologies, which integrate the concept of time within the traditional 3D bioprinting technology as the fourth dimension and facilitate the fabrications of complex, functional biological architectures. These 4D bioprinting structures could go through shape or functional transformation over time via using different stimuli-responsive biomaterials and a series of 4D bioprinting strategies. Moreover, by summarizing potential applications of 4D bioprinting in the field of bone tissue engineering, these emerging technologies could fulfill unaddressed medical requirements. The further discussions about future challenges and perspectives will give us more inspirations about widespread applications of this emerging technology for tissue engineering in biomedical field.

Abstract
In last few years, therapeutic peptides/proteins are rapidly growing in drug market considering their higher efficiency and lower toxicity than chemical drugs. However, the administration of therapeutic peptides/proteins is mainly limited in parenteral approach. Oral therapy which was hampered by harsh gastrointestinal environment and poorly penetrating epithelial barriers often results in low bioavailability (less than 1%-2%). Therefore, delivery systems that are rationally designed to overcome these challenges in gastrointestinal tract and ameliorate the oral bioavailability of therapeutic peptides/proteins are seriously promising. In this review, we summarized various multifunctional delivery systems, including lipid-based particles, polysaccharide-based particles, inorganic particles, and synthetic multifunctional particles that achieved effective oral delivery of therapeutic peptides/proteins.

Abstract
Three-dimensionally printed constructs are static and do not recapitulate the dynamic nature of tissues. Four-dimensional (4D) bioprinting has emerged to include conformational changes in printed structures in a predetermined fashion using stimuli-responsive biomaterials and/or cells. The ability to make such dynamic constructs would enable an individual to fabricate tissue structures that can undergo morphological changes. Furthermore, other fields (bioactuation, biorobotics, and biosensing) will benefit from developments in 4D bioprinting. Here, the authors discuss stimuli-responsive biomaterials as potential bioinks for 4D bioprinting. Natural cell forces can also be incorporated into 4D bioprinted structures. The authors introduce mathematical modeling to predict the transition and final state of 4D printed constructs. Different potential applications of 4D bioprinting are also described. Finally, the authors highlight future perspectives for this emerging technology in biomedicine.

Abstract
Growth factors are powerful molecules that regulate cellular growth, proliferation, healing, and cellular differentiation. A delivery matrix that incorporates growth factors with high loading efficiencies, controls their release, and maintains bioactivity would be a powerful tool for regenerative medicine. Alginate has several unique properties that make it an excellent platform for the delivery of proteins. Mild gelling conditions can minimize the risk of protein denaturation; moreover, alginate can serve as protection from degradation until protein release. Various modifications have been proposed to tune alginate binding and release proteins, simultaneously adjusting alginate degradability, mechanical stiffness, swelling, gelation properties and cell affinity. The primary objective of this article is to review the literature related to recent advances in the application of alginate matrices in protein delivery in regenerative medicine. A special emphasis is put on the relevance of delivery of growth factors and chemokine.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate a novel bioactive wound dressing from alginate hydrogel-electrospun silk fibroin (SF) fibers with the ability to deliver amniotic fluid (AF) to the wound site. AF is highly enriched with multiple therapeutic agents that can promote cellular response and wound healing. In this study, electrospun SF fibers were first fabricated by electrospinning method and then combined with the alginate hydrogel (ALG) containing AF. Different dressings were made by changing the alginate to AF ratio. The scanning electron microscopy images revealed that SF fibers were fully covered with alginate hydrogel. In addition, the modulus of the dressing decreased by lowering ALG/AF ratios, while a reverse trend was observed for the elongation-at-break. In vitro AF release profiles indicated that an increase in the concentration of ALG leads to a reduction in the AF amount. Fibroblast culturing on the fabricated dressings demonstrated that cellular proliferation, spreading, and secretion of collagen enhanced with increasing AF. Taken together, our results provide a novel bioactive dressing with great potentials for speeding up the healing process in severe wounds.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in strategies for the development of small intestine (and colon)-specific oral drug-delivery systems to maximize the efficiency of therapeutic agents and reduce side effects. However, only a few strategies are capable of working in the complicated environment of the human intestinal tract. In this study, the preparation of a basic pH/temperature-responsive co-polymer (p-NIVIm) and its in-vitro-drug delivery function in the pH range of 1-8 and temperature range of 25-42 °C are reported. The basic copolymer was prepared by radical copolymerization of N-isopropyl acryl amide (NIPAAm) and N-vinylimidazole (VIm). The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of p-NIVIm was higher in stomach pH (~1.0) conditions (36.5-42 °C) and lower in small intestine and/or colon pH (~8.0) conditions (35.8-38.2 °C). The ability to uptake a model protein (BSA) at body temperature and to release it in conditions of 37 °C and pH 1-8 was determined. The drug loading capacity (0.231 mg per 1.0 mg copolymer) and efficiency (92.4%) were high at 37 °C/pH 7. The drug carrier showed a slow release pattern at pH 1 (~0.084 mg; ~35%) and then a sudden release pattern (~0.177 mg; ~73%) at pH 8. The cytotoxicity of p-NIVIm to MCF-7 cells in vitro was minimal at concentrations <168.9 μg/mL after 72 h. The prepared copolymer with its pH-/temperature-responsive protein-entrapping and -releasing behavior at body temperature may potentially be applied as a novel small intestine (and colon)-specific oral drug delivery system.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising alternative approach for improved cancer treatment. In PDT, a photosensitizer (PS) is administered that can be activated by light of a specific wavelength, which causes selective damage to the tumor and its surrounding vasculature. The success of PDT is limited by the difficulty in administering photosensitizers (PSs) with low water solubility, which compromises the clinical use of several molecules. Incorporation of PSs in nanostructured drug delivery systems, such as polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs), solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), hydrogels, liposomes, liquid crystals, dendrimers, and cyclodextrin is a potential strategy to overcome this difficulty. Additionally, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems may improve the transcytosis of a PS across epithelial and endothelial barriers and afford the simultaneous co-delivery of two or more drugs. Based on this, the application of nanotechnology in medicine may offer numerous exciting possibilities in cancer treatment and improve the efficacy of available therapeutics. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to review nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems for photodynamic therapy of cancer.
