Phase transition and potential biomedical applications of thermoresponsive compositions based on polysaccharides, proteins and DNA: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 249:126054. [PMID: 37532189 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
Smart thermoresponsive polymers have long attracted attention as materials of a great potential for biomedical applications, mainly for drug delivery, tissue engineering and wound dressing, with a special interest to injectable hydrogels. Poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) is the most important synthetic thermoresponsive polymer due to its physiologically relevant transition temperature. However, the use of unmodified PNIPAM encounters such problems as low biodegradability, low drug loading capacity, slow response to thermal stimuli, and insufficient mechanical robustness. The use of natural polysaccharides and proteins in combinations with PNIPAM, in the form of grafted copolymers, IPNs, microgels and physical mixtures, is aimed at overcoming these drawbacks and creating dual-functional materials with both synthetic and natural polymers' properties. When developing such compositions, special attention should be paid to preserving their key property, thermoresponsiveness. Addition of hydrophobic and hydrophilic fragments to PNIPAM is known to affect its transition temperature. This review covers various classes of natural polymers - polysaccharides, fibrous and non-fibrous proteins, DNA - used in combination with PNIPAM for the prospective biomedical purposes, with a focus on their phase transition temperatures and its relation to the natural polymer's structure.

Abstract
Curdlan (CN)-doped montmorillonite/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide) [CN/MT/P(NIPA-co-MBA)] smart nanocomposites (NCs) were developed for efficient erlotinib HCl (ERL) delivery to lung cancer cells. The placebo NCs demonstrated excellent biodegradability, pH/thermo-responsive swelling profiles and declined molar mass (M¯c) between the crosslinks with increasing temperature. The XRD, FTIR, DSC, TGA, and SEM analyses revealed the architectural chemistry of these NC scaffolds. The NCs loaded with ERL (F-1-F-3) displayed acceptable diameter (734-1120 nm) and zeta potential (+1.16 to -11.17 mV), outstanding drug entrapping capability (DEE, 78-99%) and sustained biphasic ERL elution patterns (Q8h, 53-91%). The ERL release kinetics of the optimal matrices (F-3) obeyed Higuchi model and their transport occurred through anomalous diffusion. The mucin adsorption behaviour of these matrices followed Freudlich isotherms. As compared to pure ERL, the formulation (F-3) displayed an improved anti-proliferative potential and induced apoptosis more effectively on A549 cells. Thus, the CN-doped smart NCs could be utilized as promising drug-cargoes for lung cancer therapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy as the main cancer treatment method has non-specific effects and various side-effects. Accordingly, significant attempts have been conducted to enhance its efficacy through design and development of "smart" drug delivery systems (DDSs). In this context, natural gums, as a nice gift by the nature, can be exploited as stimuli-responsive DDSs for cancer treatment in part due to their renewability, availability, low cost, bioactivity, biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, biodegradability, and acceptable stability in both in vitro and in vivo conditions. However, some shortcomings (e.g., poor mechanical properties and high hydration rate) restrict their biomedical application ranges that can be circumvented through modification process (e.g., grafting of stimuli-responsive polymers or small molecules) to obtain tailored biomaterials. This review article aimed to compile the stimuli-responsive DDSs based on natural gums. In addition, different types of stimuli, the fundamental features of natural gums, as well as their chemical modification approaches are also shortly highlighted.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels have been an attractive topic in biomaterials. However, during gelation in vivo, they are easy to disperse due to tissue exudates, thus leading to failure of controlled drug release. To solve this problem, we present a novel polysaccharide-based injectable hydrogel via self-crosslinking of aldehyde-modified xanthan (Xan-CHO) and carboxymethyl-modified chitosan (NOCC). The physical properties were optimized by adjusting the mass ratio of Xan-CHO and NOCC. Experiments revealed that this material exhibited the characteristics of self-healing, anti-enzymatic hydrolysis, biocompatibility and biodegradability. The releasing curve demonstrated stable release of BSA-FITC within 10 h after injection in liquids. After incorporation with a vascular endothelial growth factor, there was an interaction between this biomaterial and the host, which accelerated the reconstruction of the abdominal wall in rats. Therefore, this injectable hydrogel, as a drug delivery system, can prevent drug outburst in a variety of settings and function as a tissue scaffold.

Abstract
Materials which adjust their properties in response to environmental factors such as temperature, pH and ionic strength are rapidly evolving and known as smart materials. Hydrogels formed by smart polymers have various applications. Among the smart polymers, thermoresponsive polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) is very important because of its well defined structure and property specially its temperature response is closed to human body and can be finetuned as well. Mechanical properties are critical for the performance of stimuli responsive hydrogels in diverse applications. However, native PNIPAM hydrogels are very fragile and hardly useful for any practical purpose. Intense researches have been done in recent decade to enhance the mechanical features of PNIPAM hydrogel. In this review, several strategies including interpenetrating polymer network (IPN), double network (DN), nanocomposite (NC) and slide ring (SR) hydrogels are discussed in the context of PNIPAM hydrogel.

Abstract
The current studies entail systematic quality by design (QbD)-based development of stimuli-responsive gastroretentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) of acyclovir using polysaccharide blends for attaining controlled drug release profile and improved patient compliance. The patient-centric quality target product profile was defined and critical quality attributes (CQAs) earmarked. Risk assessment studies, carried out through Ishikawa fish bone diagram and failure mode, effect, and criticality analysis, helped in identifying the plausible risks or failure modes affecting the quality attributes of the drug product. A face-centered cubic design was employed for systematic development and optimization of the concentration of sodium alginate (X 1) and gellan (X 2) as the critical material attributes (CMAs) in the stimuli-responsive formulations, which were evaluated for CQAs viz. viscosity, gel strength, onset of floatation, and drug release characteristics. Mathematical modeling was carried out for generation of design space, and optimum formulation was embarked upon, exhibiting formulation characteristics marked by excellent floatation and bioadhesion characteristics along with promising drug release control up to 24 h. Drug-excipient compatibility studies through FTIR and DSC revealed absence of any interaction(s) among the formulation excipients. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies in Wistar rats corroborated extension in the drug absorption profile from the optimized stimuli-responsive GR formulations vis-à-vis the marketed suspension (ZOVIRAX®). Establishment of in vitro/in vivo correlation (IVIVC) revealed a high degree of correlation between the in vitro and in vivo data. In a nutshell, the present investigations report the successful development of stimuli-responsive GRDDS of acyclovir, which can be applicable as a platform approach for other drugs too.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are gaining increasing attention as components of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems, particularly since they can be obtained in a well characterized and reproducible way from the natural sources. Ionic polysaccharides can be readily crosslinked to render hydrogel networks sensitive to a variety of internal and external variables, and thus suitable for switching drug release on-off through diverse mechanisms. Hybrids, composites and grafted polymers can reinforce the responsiveness and widen the range of stimuli to which polysaccharide-based systems can respond. This review analyzes the state of the art of crosslinked ionic polysaccharides as components of delivery systems that can regulate drug release as a function of changes in pH, ion nature and concentration, electric and magnetic field intensity, light wavelength, temperature, redox potential, and certain molecules (enzymes, illness markers, and so on). Examples of specific applications are provided. The information compiled demonstrates that crosslinked networks of ionic polysaccharides are suitable building blocks for developing advanced externally activated and feed-back modulated drug delivery systems.
