Negatively charged chitosan nanoparticles prepared by ionotropic gelation for encapsulation of positively charged proteins. Int J Pharm 2023:123164. [PMID: 37356507 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123164] [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: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/27/2023]
Abstract
The nanoprecipitation of hydrogel nanoparticles by complex coacervation is investigated through a systematic study of the popular chitosan-polyphosphate pair of polyelectrolytes with opposite charges at pH 4. Polyphosphates of varying molar masses and electrical charges are investigated as alternatives to the commonly used tripolyphosphate, so as to assess the influence of the strength of electrostatic interactions on the fabrication possibility, the size of hydrogel particles, and their overall charge. Sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium polyphosphate allow the manufacture of such nanoparticles with either a positive or a negative charge, depending on the chitosan/polyphosphate ratio and the order of mixing. The classical way of mixing by pouring the polyphosphate solution into the chitosan solution yields microparticles. Inverting the order of mixing by pouring the chitosan solution into the polyphosphate solution allows the precipitation of negatively charged nanoparticles with diameters in the range 100-200 nm. Such charge inversion of the chitosan into negative is not possible with the common TPP. It was achieved using sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium polyphosphate having a larger negative charge. Charge inversion of chitosan allows an efficient encapsulation of positively charged proteins with an improved encapsulation efficiency than in the usual TPP-based coacervate. The encapsulation of the bovine serum albumin at pH 4 is given as a case study of a positively charged protein.

Abstract
In this study, novel Trojan particles were engineered for direct delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) and miR-34a as model drugs to the lungs to raise local drug concentration, decrease pulmonary clearance, increase lung drug deposition, reduce systemic side effects, and overcome multi-drug resistance. For this purpose, targeted polyelectrolyte nanoparticles (tPENs) developed with layer-by-layer polymers (i.e., chitosan, dextran sulfate, and mannose-g-polyethyleneimine) were spray dried into a multiple-excipient (i.e., chitosan, leucine, and mannitol). The resulting nanoparticles were first characterized in terms of size, morphology, in vitro DOX release, cellular internalization, and in vitro cytotoxicity. tPENs showed comparable cellular uptake levels to PENs in A549 cells and no significant cytotoxicity on their metabolic activity. Co-loaded DOX/miR-34a showed a greater cytotoxicity effect than DOX-loaded tPENs and free drugs, which was confirmed by Actin staining. Thereafter, nano-in-microparticles were studied through size, morphology, aerosolization efficiency, residual moisture content, and in vitro DOX release. It was demonstrated that tPENs were successfully incorporated into microspheres with adequate emitted dose and fine particle fraction but low mass median aerodynamic diameter for deposition into the deep lung. The dry powder formulations also demonstrated a sustained DOX release at both pH values of 6.8 and 7.4.

Whey Protein Isolate-Chitosan PolyElectrolyte Nanoparticles as a Drug Delivery System. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041724. [PMID: 36838712 PMCID: PMC9960267 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28041724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Whey protein isolate (WPI), employed as a carrier for a wide range of bioactive substances, suffers from a lack of colloidal stability in physiological conditions. Herein, we developed innovative stabilized PolyElectrolyte Nanoparticles (PENs) obtained by two techniques: polyelectrolyte complexation of negatively charged WPI and positively charged chitosan (CS), and ionic gelation in the presence of polyanion tripolyphosphate (TPP). Therefore, the WPI-based core was coated with a CS-based shell and then stabilized by TPP at pH 8. The nanostructures were characterized by physiochemical methods, and their encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release were evaluated. The spherical NPs with an average size of 248.57 ± 5.00 nm and surface charge of +10.80 ± 0.43 mV demonstrated high encapsulation efficiency (92.79 ± 0.69) and sustained release of a positively charged chemotherapeutic agent such as doxorubicin (DOX). Z-average size and size distribution also presented negligible increases in size and aggregates during the three weeks. The results obtained confirm the effectiveness of the simultaneous application of these methods to improve the colloidal stability of PEN.

Mucus-Penetrating Alginate-Chitosan Nanoparticles Loaded with Berberine Hydrochloride for Oral Delivery to the Inflammation Site of Ulcerative Colitis. AAPS PharmSciTech 2022; 23:179.

Abstract
The rectal enemas of berberine hydrochloride (BH) have emerged as one of the most effective strategies in the clinical treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). However, oral dosages of BH exhibit a poor anti-inflammatory effect of UC, which may attribute to premature absorption of BH by the upper gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, the thick colonic mucus layer obstructs the penetration of the drug, resulting in low bioavailability to the inflammatory site of the colon. The aim of this study was to develop the mucus-penetrating sodium alginate-chitosan nanoparticles (SA-CS NPs) for oral delivery of BH to the site of colonic ulcer lesions. BH-loaded SA-CS NPs were developed through the ionic gelation method and analyzed for physicochemical characteristics, release performance, penetrability, site retention, and therapeutic efficacy. The results showed that the NPs have a particle size of 257 nm with a negative charge, presenting desired pH-dependent release behavior. The permeation studies elucidated that negatively charged SA-CS NPs had 2.9 times higher mucus penetration ability than positively charged CS NPs. An ex vivo retention study indicated the high retention of BH-SA-CS NPs at the colon site for more than 16 h. In vivo therapeutic effectiveness demonstrated that the prepared NPs could not only alleviate colonic injury by decreasing the disease activity index and colon mucosa damage index, but also improve the immunologic function by decreasing the spleen index. In conclusion, the BH-SA-CS NPs could enhance the mucus permeability and deliver drugs to the colonic inflammation site, providing new insights into improving the therapeutic effect of UC.

Abstract
A novel polyelectrolyte nanocarrier was synthesized via layer-by-layer self-assembly of polycationic and polyanionic chains. The nanocarrier is composed of polyglutamate grafted chitosan core, dextran sulfate as a complexing agent, and polyethyleneimine shell decorated with folic acid. This polyelectrolyte complex has unique physicochemical properties so that the core is considered as an efficient carrier for LTX-315 and melittin peptides, and the shell is suitable for delivery of miR-34a. The spherical nanocarriers with an average size of 123 ± 5 nm and a zeta potential of -36 ± 1 mV demonstrated controlled-release of gene and peptides ensured a synergistic effect in establishing multiple cell death pathways on chemoresistance human breast adenocarcinoma cell line, MDA-MB-231. In vitro cell viability assays also revealed no cytotoxicity for the nanocarriers, and an IC50 of 15 μg/mL and 150 μg/mL for melittin and LTX-315, respectively, after 48 h, whereas co-delivery of melittin with miR-34a increased smart death induction by 54%.

Abstract
In transdermal drug delivery applications uniform drug distribution and sustained release are of great importance to decrease the side effects. In this direction in the present research, vanillin crosslinked chitosan (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blend based matrix-type transdermal system was prepared by casting and drying of aqueous solutions for local delivery of enrofloxacin (ENR) drug. Subsequently, the properties including the morphology, chemical structure, thermal behavior, tensile strength, crosslinking degree, weight uniformity, thickness, swelling and drug release of the CS-PVA blend films before and after crosslinking were characterized. In vitro drug release profiles showed the sustained release of ENR by the incorporation of vanillin as a crosslinker into the CS-PVA polymer matrix. Furthermore, the release kinetic profiles revealed that the followed mechanism for all samples was Higuchi and the increase of vanillin concentration in the blend films resulted in the change of diffusion mechanism from anomalous transport to Fickian diffusion. Overall, the obtained results suggest that the investigated vanillin crosslinked CS-PVA matrix-type films are potential candidates for transdermal drug delivery system.

Abstract
The alkaline milieu of chronic wounds severely impairs the therapeutic effect of antibiotics, such as rifampicin; as such, the development of new drugs, or the smart delivery of existing drugs, is required. Herein, two innovative polyelectrolyte nanoparticles (PENs), composed of an amphiphilic chitosan core and a polycationic shell, were synthesized at alkaline pH, and in vitro performances were assessed by 1H NMR, elemental analysis, FT-IR, XRD, DSC, DLS, SEM, TEM, UV/Vis spectrophotometry, and HPLC. According to the results, the nanostructures exhibited different morphologies but similar physicochemical properties and release profiles. It was also hypothesized that the simultaneous use of the nanosystem and an antioxidant could be therapeutically beneficial. Therefore, the simultaneous effects of ascorbic acid and PENs were evaluated on the release profile and degradation of rifampicin, in which the results confirmed their synergistic protective effect at pH 8.5, as opposed to pH 7.4. Overall, this study highlighted the benefits of nanoparticulate development in the presence of antioxidants, at alkaline pH, as an efficient approach for decreasing rifampicin degradation.

Abstract
This study explores the feasibility of modifying the surface liquid spraying method to prepare porous bioscaffolds intended for wound dressing applications. For this purpose, gentamicin sulfate was loaded into polylactide-polyvinyl alcohol bioscaffolds as a highly soluble (hygroscopic) model drug for in vitro release study. Moreover, the influence of inorganic salts including NaCl (10 g/L) and KMnO4 (0.4 mg/L), and post-thermal treatment (T) (80 °C for 2 min) on the properties of the bioscaffolds were studied. The bioscaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. In addition, other properties including porosity, swelling degree, water vapor transmission rate, entrapment efficiency, and the release of gentamicin sulfate were investigated. Results showed that high concentrations of NaCl (10 g/L) in the aqueous phase led to an increase of around 68% in the initial burst release due to the increase in porosity. In fact, porosity increased from 68.1 ± 1.2 to 94.1 ± 1.5. Moreover, the thermal treatment of the Polylactide-polyvinyl alcohol/NaCl (PLA-PVA/NaCl) bioscaffolds above glass transition temperature (Tg) reduced the initial burst release by approximately 11% and prolonged the release of the drug. These results suggest that thermal treatment of polymer above Tg can be an efficient approach for a sustained release.

The cross-linking process occurs via imine bond formation by reaction of NH2 groups of ZnTAPc and chitosan with aldehyde groups of the glutaraldehyde. Insertion of ZnTAPc interestingly increases its solubility in water medium. 2.0% and 4% w/w of the ZnTAPc were used with respect to chitosan polymer to generate hydrogel photosensitizer. FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and rheological measurements were applied to evaluate the properties of the prepared hydrogels. Finally, difloxacin HCl was selected as a fluoroquinolone drug for the assessment of the drug release features of the made hydrogels. The difloxacin release was affected by the amount of ZnTAPc and pH medium. The activity of the hydrogels in photosensitizing process was considered by computing the rate of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran adsorption reduction as a singlet oxygen chemical quencher.
