Abstract
Polysaccharides (PSAs) are carbohydrate-based macromolecules widely used in the biomedical field, either in their pure form or in blends/nanocomposites with other materials. The relationship between structure, properties, and functions has inspired scientists to design multifunctional PSAs for various biomedical applications by incorporating unique molecular structures and targeted bulk properties. Multiple strategies, such as conjugation, grafting, cross-linking, and functionalization, have been explored to control their mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, hydrophilicity, degradability, rheological features, and stimuli-responsiveness. For instance, custom-made PSAs are known for their worldwide biomedical applications in tissue engineering, drug/gene delivery, and regenerative medicine. Furthermore, the remarkable advancements in supramolecular engineering and chemistry have paved the way for mission-oriented biomaterial synthesis and the fabrication of customized biomaterials. These materials can synergistically combine the benefits of biology and chemistry to tackle important biomedical questions. Herein, we categorize and summarize PSAs based on their synthesis methods, and explore the main strategies used to customize their chemical structures. We then highlight various properties of PSAs using practical examples. Lastly, we thoroughly describe the biomedical applications of tailor-made PSAs, along with their current existing challenges and potential future directions.

Abstract
Recent advances in the field of drug delivery have opened new avenues for the development of novel nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) in cancer therapy. Self-assembled nanoparticles (SANPs) based on tumour microenvironment have great advantages in improving antitumor effect, and pH-responsive SANPs prepared by the combination of pH-responsive nanomaterials and self-assembly technology can effectively improve the efficacy and reduce the systemic toxicity of antitumor drugs. In this review, we describe the characteristics of self-assembly and its driving force, the mechanism of pH-responsive NDDS, and the nanomaterials for pH-responsive SANPs type. A series of pH-responsive SANPs for tumour-targeted drug delivery are discussed, with an emphasis on the relation between structural features and theranostic performance.

Abstract
Curcumin is a diverse natural pharmacological agent involved in various signal transduction mechanisms. Therapeutically, this potent molecule faces different challenges and issues related to low bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility, less permeability, faster elimination and clearance. Experts in synthetic chemistry and pharmaceuticals are continuously sparing their efforts to overcome these pharmacokinetic challenges by using different structural modification strategies and developing novel drug delivery systems. In this mini-review article, we are focusing on development of curcumin derivatives by different possible routes like conjugation with biomolecules, natural polymers, synthetic polymers, natural products, metal conjugates and co- administration with natural metabolic inhibitors. In addition to that, it was also focused on the preparation of modified formulations such as micelles, microemulsions, liposomes, complexes with phospholipids, micro and nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, nano lipid carriers, biopolymer nanoparticles and microgels to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the curcumin without altering its pharmacodynamics activity. This review helps to understand the problems associated with curcumin and different strategies to improve its pharmacokinetic profile.

Development and performance evaluation of self-assembled pH-responsive curcumin-bacterial exopolysaccharide micellar conjugates as bioactive delivery system. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130372. [PMID: 38395275 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130372] [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: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
The present study reports the synthesis of micellar conjugates, wherein curcumin (Cur), a bioactive compound with poor bioavailability, was covalently bonded to a bacterial exopolysaccharide (EPS). These conjugates were synthesized by utilizing succinic acid that linked Cur to the pyranosyl moiety of the EPS. The Cur-EPS conjugates appeared as spherical micelles in aqueous solution and were found to have an average hydrodynamic diameter of 254 ± 2.7 nm. The micellar conjugates showed superior stability than Cur as evident from their negative surface charge (-27 ± 1.8 mV) and low polydispersity index (PDI) (0.33 ± 0.04). The in vitro studies on release kinetics helped elucidate the pH-responsive characteristics of the Cur-EPS conjugate, as 87.50 ± 1.45 % of Cur was released at an acidic pH of 5.6, in contrast to 30.15 ± 2.61 % at systemic pH of 7.4 at 150 h. The conjugates were hemocompatible and exhibited cytotoxic effect against the osteosarcoma cell line (MG-63) after 48 h treatment. They also demonstrated superior antibacterial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant activities in comparison to free Cur. Therefore, the Cur-EPS conjugates have potential pharmaceutical applications as therapeutic biomaterial that can be applied as a drug delivery system.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass represents an abundant and eco-friendly material widely explored in recent years. The main lignocellulosic fractions include cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Nonetheless, the heterogeneity and complexity of these components pose challenges in achieving the desired properties. Conversely, their attractive functional groups can covalently link with other biomolecules, facilitating the creation and enhancement of material properties. Lignocellulosic molecules can form different linkages with other biomolecules through classic and modern methods. Bioconjugation has emerged as a suitable alternative to create new nuances, empowering the linkage between lignocellulosic materials and biomolecules through linkers. These conjugates (lignocellulosic-linkers-biomolecules) attract attention from stakeholders in medicine, chemistry, biology, and agriculture. The plural formations of these biocomplexes highlight the significance of these arrangements. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the progress of lignocellulosic-biomolecule complexes and discusses different types of covalent bioconjugated systems, considering the formation of linkers, applicability, toxicity, and future challenges.

Abstract
Plant-based phytochemicals, including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and other metabolites, have attracted considerable attention due to their central role in synthesizing nanomaterials with various biomedical applications. Hemicelluloses are the second most abundant among naturally occurring heteropolymers, accounting for one-third of all plant constituents. In particular, xylans, mannans, and arabinoxylans are structured polysaccharides derived from hemicellulose. Mannans and xylans are characterized by their linear configuration of β-1,4-linked mannose and xylose units, respectively. At the same time, arabinoxylan is a copolymer of arabinose and xylose found predominantly in secondary cell walls of seeds, dicotyledons, grasses, and cereal tissues. Their widespread use in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and gene delivery is based on their properties, such as cell adhesiveness, cost-effectiveness, high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low immunogenicity. Moreover, it can be easily functionalized, which expands their potential applications and provides them with structural diversity. This review comprehensively addresses recent advances in the field of biomedical applications. It explores the potential prospects for exploiting the capabilities of mannans and xylans in drug delivery, gene delivery, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC), as a natural renewable polymer material, has the advantages of porous nanonetwork structure, high degree of polymerization, high purity, high crystallinity, excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, BC lacks antibacterial properties, which leads to the limitation of BC material in food packaging and medical materials. In this study, a new antibacterial material using the combination of montmorillonite (MMT), BC and exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by Weissella confusa H2 was synthesized. Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that BC-EPS, BC-MMT and BC-EPS-MMT composite membranes conformed to the typical type I cellulose structure. Compared to BC membrane, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the porosity of BC-EPS, BC-MMT and BC-EPS-MMT composite membranes was low and compact. The physical properties of BC-EPS, BC-MTT and BC-EPS-MTT composite membranes showed lower water vapor transmittance. The BC-MTT and BC-EPS-MTT composite membranes exhibit a lower swelling ratio in 120 min. The thermal properties show that BC-EPS, BC-MTT and BC-EPS-MTT composite membranes have higher thermal stability (352 °C, 310 °C, 314 °C). Additionally, both BC-MMT and BC-EPS-MMT demonstrated strong inhibitory effects against various bacterial strains, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella paratyphi A, and Bacillus subtilis. The exceptional properties exhibited by composite membranes establishes them as a highly promising option in the field of food packaging and medical material applications.

Abstract
Targeted delivery of drug molecules to diseased sites is a great challenge in pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. Fabrication of drug delivery systems (DDS) to target and/or diagnose sick cells is an effective means to achieve good therapeutic results along with a minimal toxicological impact on healthy cells. Biopolymers are becoming an important class of materials owing to their biodegradability, good compatibility, non-toxicity, non-immunogenicity, and long blood circulation time and high drug loading ratio for both macros as well as micro-sized drug molecules. This review summarizes the recent trends in biopolymer-based DDS, forecasting their broad future clinical applications. Cellulose chitosan, starch, silk fibroins, collagen, albumin, gelatin, alginate, agar, proteins and peptides have shown potential applications in DDS. A range of synthetic techniques have been reported to design the DDS and are discussed in the current study which is being successfully employed in ocular, dental, transdermal and intranasal delivery systems. Different formulations of DDS are also overviewed in this review article along with synthesis techniques employed for designing the DDS. The possibility of these biopolymer applications points to a new route for creating unique DDS with enhanced therapeutic qualities for scaling up creative formulations up to the clinical level.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC) are difficult to cure, and available treatment is associated with troubling side effects. In addition, current therapies have limited efficacy and are characterized by high costs, and a large segment of the IBD and CRC patients are refractive to the treatment. Moreover, presently used anti-IBD therapies in the clinics are primarily aimed on the symptomatic control. That is why new agents with therapeutic potential against IBD and CRC are required. Currently, polyphenols have received great attention in the pharmaceutical industry and in medicine due to their health-promoting properties. They may exert anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-cancer activity, via inhibiting production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes or factors associated with carcinogenesis (e.g., matrix metalloproteinases, vascular endothelial growth factor), suggesting they may have therapeutic potential against IBD and CRC. However, their use is limited under both processing conditions or gastrointestinal interactions, reducing their stability and hence their bioaccessibility and bioavailability. Therefore, there is a need for more effective carriers that could be used for encapsulation of polyphenolic compounds. In recent years, natural polysaccharides have been proposed for creating carriers used in the synthesis of polyphenol encapsulates. Among these, hemicelluloses are particularly noteworthy, being characterized by good biocompatibility, biodegradation, low immunogenicity, and pro-health activity. They may also demonstrate synergy with the polyphenol payload. This review discusses the utility and potential of hemicellulose-based encapsulations of polyphenols as support for treatment of IBD and CRC.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur) is a natural pigment with excellent biological activity. The poor stability and insolubility of Cur in water severely limit its application. Therefore, to overcome these dilemmas which are big hindrances in their application, a novel derivative (COCS-Cur) was prepared by the esterification reaction of carboxylated chitosan (COCS) and Cur. The structure and properties of conjugate were determined through a series of characterizations. The derivatives had excellent solubility as well as stability. In addition, antioxidant and photodynamic antibacterial experiments proved that COCS-Cur had the excellent free radical scavenging ability and photodynamic antibacterial activity. The derivatives presented a better antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) than Escherichia coli (E. coli). Noteworthy, the COCS-Cur derivatives showed no obvious toxicity which makes them a stronger contender and potential antimicrobial agent or functional nutrient for application in the food industry.

Abstract
Biowaste, produced from nature, is preferred to be a good source of carbon and ligninolytic machinery for many microorganisms. They are complex biopolymers composed of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose traces. This biomass can be depolymerized to its nano-dimensions to gain exceptional properties useful in the field of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, high-strength materials, etc. Nano-sized biomass derivatives overcome the inherent drawbacks of the parent material and offer promises as a potential material for a wide range of applications with their unique traits such as low-toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability and environmentally friendly nature with versatility. This review focuses on the production of value-added products feasible from nanocellulose, nano lignin, and xylan nanoparticles which is quite a novel study of its kind. Dawn of nanotechnology has converted bio waste by-products (hemicellulose and lignin) into useful precursors for many commercial products. Nano-cellulose has been employed in the fields of electronics, cosmetics, drug delivery, scaffolds, fillers, packaging, and engineering structures. Xylan nanoparticles and nano lignin have numerous applications as stabilizers, additives, textiles, adhesives, emulsifiers, and prodrugs for many polyphenols with an encapsulation efficiency of 50%. This study will support the potential development of composites for emerging applications in all aspects of interest and open up novel paths for multifunctional biomaterials in nano-dimensions for cosmetic, drug carrier, and clinical applications.

Abstract
Active ingredients of Chinese medicine (AIFCM) are pharmacological substances taken from traditional Chinese medicine that show promise in treating gastrointestinal cancer. Compared with traditional chemotherapeutic drugs, AIFCM have advantages such as multi-target and multi-level treatment
of gastrointestinal cancer. Nanocarriers have the following advantages, better bioavailability, passive or active targeting of tumor sites and responsive release of drugs. The use of nanocarriers for delivery of AIFCM in treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, can overcome the disadvantages
of some AIFCM, such as insolubility and low bioavailability. In this review, we first outline the background on gastrointestinal cancer, main curative factors and conventional therapeutic approaches. Then, the mechanisms for AIFCM in gastrointestinal cancer therapy are presented in the following
four aspects: gene regulation, immune modulation, cellular pathway transduction, and alteration of intestinal flora. Thirdly, preparation of various nanocarriers and results when combining AIFCM in gastrointestinal cancer are presented. Fourth, application of novel targeted nanocarriers and
responsive nanocarriers in gastrointestinal tumors is further introduced. Finally, the application of AIFCM in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer is summarized and prospected, hoping to shed some light on the nanocarrier-bound AIFCM in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer.

Abstract
To treat acute kidney injury with high efficiency and low toxicity, a novel nanoplatform was developed to remove excess reactive oxygen species (ROS). Lutein (LU) and celastrol (Cel) were loaded into low molecular weight chitosan (CS) to prepare Cel@LU-CA-CS nanomicelles. Renal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cell uptake experiments showed that the drugs could be internalized in renal tubular via the megalin receptor. In this study, the amide bond formed by the reaction of citraconic anhydride (CA) with an amino group of CS could be destroyed under acidic conditions. Therefore, the drugs were released in HK-2 cells due to the acidic environment of the lysosome. In vitro studies showed that the nanomicelles could reduce toxicity in non-target organs and enhance therapeutic efficacy in acute kidney injury (AKI). In addition, Cel@LU-CA-CS micelles had alleviated kidney oxidative stress disorder and stabilized the mitochondrial membrane potential quickly. Next, in vivo studies proved that Cel@LU-CA-CS micelles could inhibit the activation of the NF-κB p65 and p38 MAPK inflammatory signaling pathways. Therefore, the micelles further reduced the overexpression of related inflammatory factors. In conclusion, Cel@LU-CA-CS nanomicelles could treat AKI with high efficiency and low toxicity, and inhibit renal fibrosis.

Abstract
In the in-depth research that has been conducted on nanometer biomaterials, how to use the biomass resources with high activity and low toxicity to prepare nanomaterials for biomedical applications has attracted much attention. To realize efficient and comprehensive utilization of biomass, bagasse xylan/andrographolide (BX/AD) was ued as a raw material and glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) as an esterification agent to synthesize bagasse xylan/andrographolide esterified derivative (GA-BX/AD). Then, the bagasse xylan/andrographolide grafted and esterified derivative (GA-BX/AD-g-IA) was synthesized by the graft crosslinking reactions using itaconic acid (IA) as graft monomer. The better synthesis conditions were optimized by single factor experiments, the degree of esterification substitution (DS) was 0.43, and the grafting rate (G) of the product reached 42%. The structure and properties of the product were characterized by FTIR, XRD, DTG, SEM, and 1H NMR. The results showed that the product morphology was significantly changed, and the nanoparticles were spherical with a particle size of about 100 nm. The anti-cancer activity of the product was measured. The molecular docking simulations revealed that the product had good docking activity with human glucocorticoid protein (6CFN) with a binding free energy of 14.38 kcal/mol. The MTT assay showed that the product had a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of human liver cancer cells (BEL-7407) and gastric cancer cells (MGC80-3), with inhibition ratio of 38.41 ± 5.32% and 32.69 ± 4.87%. Therefore, this nanomaterial is expected to be applied to the development and utilization of drug carriers and functional materials.

Abstract
Silk-fibroin based edible coating to enhance the shelf-life of perishable food This edible coating iscost-effective, biodegradable, and non-toxic. Coating can be prepared in two ways: nanofiber-based coating and dip-coating. Coating maintainstexture,stiffness and nutrient content of food for longtime.
As per the report of the United Nations, half of the fruits and vegetables loses annually. Industries are trying to reduce the postharvest loss by using coatings. Wax coating is the most preferred way to preserve fruits and veggies. Sometimes wax is mixed with some chemical compounds that are known to be carcinogenic. Recently many edible films have been developed using natural polymers to enhance the shelf life of food. The edible films act as a barrier between the food and the external environment to prevent the direct interaction of food with atmospheric gases and microbes, which reduce the rate of respiration, keeping the food fresh for an extended period. But, the cost of edible biofilms is high and restricted at the industrial level; the local fruits and vegetable vendors are not able to buy such costly biofilms. We have developed the solution for dip-coating and nanofiber coating using a blend of silk fibroin, PVA, honey and curcumin, which is a cost-effective method for fruits and vegetable vendors. The material used for coating is FDA approved. The techniques utilized for synthesizing the biofilm are electrospinning and dip-coating. Coating found to increase the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
Polymer-based prodrug nanocarriers with tumor-targeting and controlled-release properties are in great demand for enhanced cancer treatment. Hyaluronic acid (HA), which has excellent biocompatibility and targeting ability for cluster determinant 44 (CD44), has been proposed for delivering drugs that have poor solubility and high toxicity. Herein, podophyllotoxin (PPT) was conjugated to HA via ester and disulfide linkages to construct a pH- and reduction-responsive prodrug (HA-S-S-PPT). The micelles self-assembled from HA-S-S-PPT prodrug efficiently accumulated at tumor site due to HA receptor-mediated endocytosis. HA-S-S-PPT micelles exhibited 33.1% higher cumulative release than HA-NH-CO-PPT micelles (sensitive only to pH) owing to their dual responsiveness to pH and reduction. HA-S-S-PPT micelles achieved excellent antitumor activity in vivo, with the tumor inhibition rate reaching 92%, significantly higher than that of HA-NH-CO-PPT micelles (65%), and negligible systemic toxicity. This controllable-targeting nanoparticle system provides a potential platform for clinical application of PPT.

Abstract
Herein, xylan-g-PMMA was synthesized by grafting poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) onto xylan and characterized by FT-IR and HSQC NMR spectroscopies, and the xylan-g-PMMA/TiO2 solution was used to electrospun nanofibers at the voltage of 15 Kv, which was the first time employing xylan to electrospun nanofibers. Moreover, the electrospinning operating parameters were optimized by assessing the electrospinning process and the morphology of electrospun fibers, as follows: the mixed solvent of DMF and chloroform in a volume ratio of 5:1, an anhydroxylose unit (AXU)/MMA molar ratio lower than 1:2, the flow speed of 0.00565–0.02260 mL/min, and a receiving distance of 10–15 cm. Diameters of the electrospun fibers increased with increasing DMF content in the used solvent mixture, MMA dosage, and receiving distance. TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully dispersed in electrospun xylan-g-PMMA nanofibers and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray diffraction spectrum, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and their application for methylene blue (MB) degradation presented above 80% photocatalytic efficiency, showing the good potential in water treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Curcumin has become increasingly popular in functional foods and beverages field as a result of its high biological activity. Nevertheless, the application of curcumin is usually limited by its poor water solubility, low absorption, rapid metabolism and instability. Accordingly, the development of an appropriate wall material is crucial for its effective use. In the present study, curcumin-octenyl succinic anhydride modified pullulan (Cur-OSAP) micelles were successfully prepared by an anti-solvent co-precipitation method. RESULTS Octenyl succinic anhydride modified pullulan (OSAP) micelles exhibited the highest encapsulation efficiency (57.31%) and loading capacity (5.73%) of curcumin when the mass ratio of OSAP to curcumin was 10:1 and the degree of substitution of OSAP was 0.0469, at which point Cur-OSAP micelles formed via hydrogen binding and hydrophobic interactions, as confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and fluorescence techniques. The transmission electron microscopy results showed that the Cur-OSAP micelles were roughly spherical in shape with diameters in the approximate range 30-60 nm. CONCLUSION The encapsulation of OSAP greatly improved photostability and sustained release properties of curcumin in Cur-OSAP micelles. These findings suggest that OSAP can be used as a carrier to encapsulate and protect hydrophobic food ingredients. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Pang L, Zhang L, Zhou H, Cao L, Shao Y, Li T. Reactive Oxygen Species-Responsive Nanococktail With Self-Amplificated Drug Release for Efficient Co-Delivery of Paclitaxel/Cucurbitacin B and Synergistic Treatment of Gastric Cancer. Front Chem 2022; 10:844426. [PMID: 35308794 PMCID: PMC8931329 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2022.844426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Application of drug combinations is a powerful strategy for the therapy of advanced gastric cancer. However, the clinical use of such combinations is greatly limited by the occurrence of severe systemic toxicity. Although polymeric-prodrug-based nanococktails can significantly reduce toxicity of drugs, they have been shown to have low intracellular drug release. To balance between efficacy and safety during application of polymeric-prodrug-based nanococktails, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanococktail (PCM) with self-amplification drug release was developed in this study. In summary, PCM micelles were co-assembled from ROS-sensitive cucurbitacin B (CuB) and paclitaxel (PTX) polymeric prodrug, which were fabricated by covalently grafting PTX and CuB to dextran via an ROS-sensitive linkage. To minimize the side effects of the PCM micelles, a polymeric-prodrug strategy was employed to prevent premature leakage. Once it entered cancer cells, PCM released CuB and PTX in response to ROS. Moreover, the released CuB further promoted ROS generation, which in turn enhanced drug release for better therapeutic effects. In vivo antitumor experiments showed that the PCM-treated group had lower tumor burden (tumor weight was reduced by 92%), but bodyweight loss was not significant. These results indicate that the developed polymeric prodrug, with a self-amplification drug release nanococktail strategy, can be an effective and safe strategy for cancer management.

Abstract
In cancer therapy, stimulus-responsive drug delivery systems are of particular interest for reducing side effects in healthy tissues and improving drug selectivity in the tumoral ones. Here, a strategy for the preparation of a photo-responsive cross-linked trilayer deposited onto an oil-in-water nanoemulsion via a layer-by-layer technique is reported. The system is made of completely biocompatible materials such as soybean oil, egg lecithin and glycol chitosan, with heparin as the polymeric shell. The oil core is pre-loaded with curcumin as a model lipophilic active molecule with anti-tumoral properties. The trilayer cross-linkage is performed via a photoinitiator-free thiol-ene 'click' reaction. In particular, the system is implemented with an o-nitrobenzyl group functionalized with a thiol moiety which can perform both the thiol-ene 'click' reaction and the cleavage meant for controlled drug release at two different wavelengths, respectively. So the preparation and characterization of a photo-responsive natural nanocarrier (PNC) that is stable under physiological conditions owing to the thiol-ene cross-linkage are reported. PNC performance has been assessed in vitro on melanoma cells as well as in vivo on xenograft tumour-induced mice.

Abstract
Free radicals are generated as byproducts of normal metabolic processes as well as due to exposure to several environmental pollutants. They are highly reactive species, causing cellular damage and are associated with a plethora of oxidative stress-related diseases and disorders. Antioxidants can control autoxidation by interfering with free radical propagation or inhibiting free radical formation, reducing oxidative stress, improving immune function, and increasing health longevity. Antioxidant functionalized metal nanoparticles, transition metal oxides, and nanocomposites have been identified as potent nanoantioxidants. They can be formulated in monometallic, bimetallic, and multi-metallic combinations via chemical and green synthesis techniques. The intrinsic antioxidant properties of nanomaterials are dependent on their tunable configuration, physico-chemical properties, crystallinity, surface charge, particle size, surface-to-volume ratio, and surface coating. Nanoantioxidants have several advantages over conventional antioxidants, involving increased bioavailability, controlled release, and targeted delivery to the site of action. This review emphasizes the most pioneering types of nanoantioxidants such as nanoceria, silica nanoparticles, polydopamine nanoparticles, and nanocomposite-, polysaccharide-, and protein-based nanoantioxidants. This review overviews the antioxidant potential of biologically synthesized nanomaterials, which have emerged as significant alternatives due to their biocompatibility and high stability. The promising nanoencapsulation nanosystems such as solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, and liposome nanoparticles are highlighted. The advantages, limitations, and future insights of nanoantioxidant applications are discussed.

Abstract
Sodium alginate products have been extensively used for wound-dressing. In present study, a series of thermo-sensitive cross-linked poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted sodium alginate (Alg-g-pNIPAM) copolymers were synthesized for delivery of curcumin to wound. FTIR, 1H NMR, elemental analysis and DSC showed successful polymerization and precise structure of copolymers. Thermogelation at 27-42 °C depending on the copolymer concentration, chain-length of pNIPAM and pH was observed. The optimum copolymer with proper rheological and syringeability properties showed excellent thermogelling at a wide range of pH and concentration, and could prolong the release of curcumin up to 72 h. In-vivo wound contraction and histopathological evaluations revealed that in addition to the higher efficacy in wound contraction, the curcumin formulation (Cur-F) significantly reduced the inflammation, enhanced the collagenesis and resulted in increased number of fibroblasts. Well-known anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin and in situ-forming nature of Alg-g-pNIPAM can make the system an excellent candidate for further investigations.

Abstract
Polysaccharide (PS) based nanoparticles (NP) are of great interest for biomedical applications. A key challenge in this regard is the functionalization of these nanomaterials. The aim of the present work was the development of reactive PS-NP that can be coupled with an amino group containing compounds under mild aqueous conditions. A series of cellulose phenyl carbonates (CPC) and xylan phenyl carbonates (XPC) with variable degrees of substitution (DS) was obtained by homogeneous synthesis. The preparation of PS-NP by self-assembling of these hydrophobic derivatives was studied comprehensively. While CPC mostly formed macroscopic aggregates, XPC formed well-defined spherical NP with diameters around 100 to 200 nm that showed a pronounced long-term stability in water against both particle aggregation as well as cleavage of phenyl carbonate moieties. Using an amino group functionalized dye it was demonstrated that the novel XPC-NP are reactive towards amines. A simple coupling procedure was established that enables direct functionalization of the reactive NP in an aqueous dispersion. Finally, it was demonstrated that dye functionalized XPC-NP are non-cytotoxic and can be employed in advanced biomedical applications.

Abstract
Curcumin is a poly phenolic compound extracted from turmeric. Over the past years, it has acquired significant interest among researchers due to its numerous pharmacological activities like anti- cancer, anti-alzheimer, anti-diabetic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and so on. However, the clinical use of curcumin is still obstructed due to tremendously poor bioavailability, rapid metabolism, lower gastrointestinal absorption, and low permeability through cell that makes its pharmacology thrilling. These issues have led to enormous surge of investigation to develop curcumin nano formulations which can overcome these restrictive causes. The scientists all across the universe are working on designing several drug delivery systems viz. liposomes, micelles, magnetic nano carriers, etc. for curcumin and its composites which not only improve its physiochemical properties but also enhanced its therapeutic applications. The review aims to systematically examine the treasure of information about the medicinal use of curcumin. This article delivers a general idea of the current study piloted to overwhelm the complications with the bioavailability of curcumin which have exhibited an enhanced biological activity than curcumin. This article explains the latest and detailed study of curcumin and its conjugates, its phytochemistry and biological perspectives and also proved curcumin as an efficient drug candidate for the treatment of numerous diseases. Recent advancements and futuristic viewpoints are also deliberated, which shall help researchers and foster commercial translations of improved nanosized curcumin combination for the treatment of various diseases.

Abstract
The use of medicinal plants is as ancient as human civilization. The development of phytochemistry and pharmacology facilitates the identification of natural bioactive compounds and their mechanisms of action, including against cancer. The efficacy and the safety of a bioactive compound depend on its optimal delivery to the target site. Most natural bioactive compounds (phenols, flavonoids, tannins, etc.) are unable to reach their target sites due to their low water solubility, less cellular absorption, and high molecular weight, leading to their failure into clinical translation. Therefore, many scientific studies are going on to overcome the drawbacks of natural products for clinical applications. Several studies in India, as well as worldwide, have proposed the development of natural products-based nanoformulations to increase their efficacy and safety profile for cancer therapy by improving the delivery of natural bioactive compounds to their target site. Therefore, we are trying to discuss the development of natural products-based nanoformulations in India to improve the efficacy and safety of natural bioactive compounds against cancer.

Abstract
To deal with serious environmental damage resulting from plastic packaging materials, biodegradable films using natural products have gained considerable attention. Here, we provide a simple, fast, and environmentally-friendly route to construct a biodegradable film using chitosan (CS), bacterial cellulose (BC), and curcumin (Cur). Composite films (CSn-BC-Cur) using CS with different molecular weights were investigated, and their water moisture content (MC), water solubility (WS), contact angle (CA), mechanical properties, barrier properties, and antioxidant properties were compared. The obtained films were characterized by SEM, XRD, and TGA. The results showed that chitosan with a higher molecular weight presented higher contact angles and mechanical properties, along with a lower moisture content, water vapor transmission rate, and oxygen transmission rate. Furthermore, when the composite film was placed in 95 % ethanol, it released active substances. The results suggest that these composite films can be used as promising materials for food packaging.

Abstract
Self-delivering nanocarrier based on the small-molecule prodrug nanoassemblies (NAs) have been widely used for the efficient delivery of chemotherapeutics, but the effect of kinetic stability of NAs on their delivery performance has not been illuminated. In this study, two camptothecin (CPT)-oleic acid (OA) prodrugs were used to fabricate self-assembling nanorods with similar size distribution, zeta potential and morphology but having sharply different kinetic stability, which provided an ideal platform to investigate the effects of kinetic stability. It is found that the nanorods with high kinetic stability showed a lower in vitro cytotoxicity, but were more effective to inhibit the tumor growth probably by decreasing the premature CPT release and subsequent generation of the inactive carboxylate CPT. However, such kinetically stable nanorods also resulted in the increased toxicity, probably due to the high prodrug accumulation in tissues after multiple injections. These results outlined the pivotal role of kinetic stability in determining antitumor efficacy of prodrug NAs, which provided a new insight into the delivery mechanism for the small-molecule prodrug self-delivering nanosystems.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) of chemotherapy is one of the significant concerns in cancer therapy. Here in our study, cisplatin (DDP) and oleanolic acid (OA) were co-loaded in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Nsi) to construct DDP/OA-Nsi and solve the DDP-resistance in lung cancer therapy. The cytotoxicity and apoptosis assays demonstrated that in DDP-resistant A549/DDP cells, the cytotoxicity of DDP/OA-Nsi was significantly higher than that of free DDP or DDP single delivery system (DDP-Nsi). The intracellular drug accumulation study revealed that the intracellular DDP concentration in the DDP/OA-Nsi group was also higher than that in free DDP and DDP-Nsi groups. In the A549/DDP xenograft tumor model, DDP/OA-Nsi showed the best anticancer effect. In summary, DDP/OA-Nsi was a promising drug delivery system to solve MDR in lung cancer therapy.

Abstract
A novel PMet-P(cdmPEG2K) polymeric micellar carrier was developed for tumor-targeted co-delivery of DOX and nucleic acids (NA), based on polymetformin and a structure designed to lose the PEG shell in response to the acidic extracellular tumor environment. NA/DOX co-loaded micelleplexes exhibited enhanced inhibition of cell proliferation compared to DOX-loaded micelles, and displayed a higher level of cytotoxicity at an acidic pH (6.8) which mimicks the tumor microenvironment. The PMet-P(cdmPEG2K) micelles achieved significantly improved transfection with either a reporter plasmid or Cy3-siRNA, and enhanced DOX intracellular uptake in 4T1.2 cells at pH 6.8. Importantly, PMet-P(cdmPEG2K) micelles showed excellent pEGFP (EGFP expression plasmid) transfection in an aggressive murine breast cancer (4T1.2) model. By using a plasmid encoding IL-12 (pIL-12), we investigated the combined effect of chemotherapy and gene therapy. PMet-P(cdmPEG2K) micelles co-loaded with DOX and pIL-12 were more effective at inhibiting tumor growth compared to micelles loaded with DOX or pIL-12 alone. In addition, this micellar system was effective in co-delivery of siRNA and DOX into tumor cells. Our results suggest that PMet-P(cdmPEG2K) has the potential for chemo and nucleic acid combined cancer therapy.

Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26030676. [PMID: 33525445 PMCID: PMC7866076 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26030676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity, lignocellulosic-derived nanoparticles are very potential materials for drug carriers in drug delivery applications. There are three main lignocellulosic-derived nanoparticles discussed in this review. First, lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) are an amphiphilic nanoparticle which has versatile interactions toward hydrophilic or hydrophobic drugs. The synthesis methods of LNPs play an important role in this amphiphilic characteristic. Second, xylan nanoparticles (XNPs) are a hemicellulose-derived nanoparticle, where additional pretreatment is needed to obtain a high purity xylan before the synthesis of XNPs. This process is quite long and challenging, but XNPs have a lot of potential as a drug carrier due to their stronger interactions with various drugs. Third, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are a widely exploited nanoparticle, especially in drug delivery applications. CNCs have low cytotoxicity, therefore they are suitable for use as a drug carrier. The research possibilities for these three nanoparticles are still wide and there is potential in drug delivery applications, especially for enhancing their characteristics with further surface modifications adjusted to the drugs.

Abstract
The conventional mono-chemotherapy still suffers from unsatisfied potency for cancer therapy due to tumor heterogeneity and the occurrence of drug resistance. Combination chemotherapy based on the nanosized drug delivery systems (nDDSs) has been developed as a promising platform to circumvent the limitations of mono-chemotherapy. In this work, starting from cisplatin and curcumin (Cur), we prepared a dual drug backboned shattering polymeric nDDS for synergistic chemotherapy. By in situ polymerization of the Cur, platinum (IV) complex-based prodrug monomer (DHP), L-lysine diisocyanate (LDI), and then conjugation with a hydrophilic poly (ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (mPEG) derivative, a backbone-type platinum (IV) and Cur linkage containing mPEG-poly(platinum-co-Cur)-mPEG (PCPt) copolymer was synthesized. Notably, the platinum (IV) (Pt (IV)) and Cur were incorporated into the hydrophobic segment of PCPt with the fixed drugs loading ratio and high drugs loading content. The batch-to-batch variability could be decreased. The resulting prodrug copolymer then self-assembled into nanoparticles (PCPt NPs) with an average diameter around 100 nm, to formulate a synergetic nDDS. Importantly, PCPt NPs could greatly improve the solubility and stability of Cur. In vitro drug release profiles have demonstrated that PCPt NPs were stable in PBS 7.4, rapid burst release was greatly decreased, and the Pt and Cur release could be largely enhanced under reductive conditions due to the complete dissociation of the hydrophobic main chain of PCPt. In vitro cell viability test indicated that PCPt NPs were efficient synergistic chemotherapy units. Moreover, PCPt NPs were synergistic for cisplatin-resistant cell lines A549/DDP cells, and they exhibited excellent reversal ability of tumor resistance to cisplatin. This work provides a promising strategy for the design and synthesis of nDDS for combination chemotherapy.

Abstract
In this study, novel redox-sensitive nanoparticles based on xylan-lipoic acid (Xyl-LA) conjugate were developed for tumor targeted delivery of niclosamide (Nic) in cancer therapy. The niclosamide loaded xylan-lipoic acid conjugate nanoparticles (Xyl-LA/Nic NPs) showed redox responsive behaviour in presence of reductive glutathione (GSH), which indicate their suitability for intracellular drug release. The obtained Xyl-LA/Nic NPs exhibited uniform particle size (196 ± 1.64 nm), high loading capacity (~28.6 wt %) and excellent blood compatibility. The anticancer activity of the Niclosamide and the Xyl-LA/Nic NPs against the colon carcinoma cell lines (HCT-15, Colo-320) were evaluated by MTT assay and the overall results indicate that the Xyl-LA/Nic NPs significantly enhanced the therapeutic efficiency of niclosamide in cancer therapy.

Abstract
The delivery of agrochemicals is typically achieved by the spraying of fossil-based polymer dispersions, which might accumulate in the soil and increase microplastic pollution. A potentially sustainable alternative is the use of biodegradable nano- or micro-formulations based on biopolymers, which can be degraded selectively by fungal enzymes to release encapsulated agrochemicals. To date, no hemicellulose nanocarriers for drug delivery in plants have been reported. Xylan is a renewable and abundant feedstock occurring naturally in high amounts in hemicellulose - a major component of the plant cell wall. Herein, xylan from corncobs was used to produce the first fungicide-loaded xylan-based nanocarriers by interfacial polyaddition in an inverse miniemulsion using toluene diisocyanate (TDI) as a crosslinking agent. The nanocarriers were redispersed in water and the aqueous dispersions were proven to be active in vitro against several pathogenic fungi, which are responsible for fungal plant diseases in horticulture or agriculture. Besides, empty xylan-based nanocarriers stimulated the growth of fungal mycelium, which indicated the degradation of xylan in the presence of the fungi, and underlined the degradation as a trigger to release a loaded agrochemical. This first example of crosslinked xylan-based nanocarriers expands the library of biodegradable and biobased nanocarriers for agrochemical release and might play a crucial role for future formulations in plant protection.

Abstract
Development of new drugs are confronted with some barriers and challenges, since these projects are mainly expensive, complex, time consuming with lack of success, there is an urgent need to reformulate the current poorly water soluble anti-cancer drugs. In this study, a new type of polymer-curcumin conjugates based on glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) was developed for cancer therapy. The copolymer was used for delivery of curcumin (CUR) as an anticancer drug to cancer cells. Our method is based on the facile conjugation of CUR to amine-containing polymeric vehicles through imine linkage bonds, which could remain stable in normal physiological condition while readily dissociate by an acidic environment and make the prodrug active to liberate its payload CUR to inhibit cell growth. The results demonstrated that fabricated amphiphilic PDCs were self-assembled into nanosized micelles in aqueous solution and the micelles showed an average size of 180 nm with a good polydispersity index. Drug release studies demonstrated that this nano-conjugate is fairly stable at physiologic environments but prone to mild acidic conditions which would trigger the release of conjugated CUR. Moreover, the PDCs micelles exhibited excellent cytotoxicity effect on 4T1 mouse breast cancer cell line but no significant toxicity was observed for the copolymer. In addition, the copolymer did not display remarkable toxicity against A. salina even at high doses of copolymer. In addition, the synthesized PDCs exhibited hemolysis lowers than 6%. The safety of copolymers as a drug vehicle was also confirmed by LD50, since all mice which treated with 5000 mg/Kg (limited dose) were still alive after one week. Our findings revealed that these unique pH-sensitive PDCs may provide a promising approach for delivery of the anticancer drugs to cancer cells.[Formula: see text].

Abstract
Cancer is a global health challenge. There are drawbacks to conventional chemotherapy such as poor bioavailability, development of drug resistance and severe side effects. Novel drug delivery system may be an alternative to optimize therapeutic effects. When such systems consist of natural materials, they offer important advantages: they are usually highly biocompatible, biodegradable, nontoxic and nonimmunogenic. Furthermore, natural materials can be easily modified for conjugation with a wide range of therapeutic agents and targeting ligands, according to the therapeutic purpose. This article reviews different natural ingredients and their applications in drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. Firstly, an overview of the polysaccharides and protein-based polymers that have been extensively investigated for drug delivery are described. Secondly, recent advances in using various natural ingredient-based polymeric nanoparticles for cancer therapy are reviewed. The characteristics of these delivery systems are summarized, followed by a discussion of future development and clinical potential. This review aims to summarize current knowledge and provide a basis for developing effective tailor-made formulations for cancer therapy in the future.
