Abstract
The onset and progression of ulcerative colitis (UC) are intricately linked to the worsening of intestinal inflammation, an imbalance in oxidative stress, and impairment of the intestinal mucosal barrier. Although chlorogenic acid (CA) shows potential in effectively alleviating the symptoms of UC, its clinical application is hindered by its poor bioavailability, stability, rapid metabolism, and quick excretion. This study utilized a one-step enzyme-catalyzed polymerization technique to create chlorogenic acid nanoparticles (CA NPs), aiming to improve the bioavailability and stability of CA. The CA NPs exhibited an optimal nanosize (106.65 ± 4.12 nm) and showed increased cellular uptake over time. Importantly, CA NPs significantly prolonged retention time in inflamed colonic tissues, enhancing accumulation and providing a targeted therapy for UC. Animal studies confirmed the substantial benefits of CA NPs, including reduced weight loss, lessened reduction in colon length, and a lowered disease activity index (DAI) score in DSS-induced UC mice. Moreover, CA NPs effectively reduced oxidative stress and levels of inflammatory factors in the colonic tissues of UC mice, thus mitigating tissue damage and restoring the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier. In conclusion, our research proposes a novel approach to increase the bioavailability and stability of CA, offering a promising avenue for its effective application in preventing UC.

Abstract
Designing highly efficient orally administrated nanotherapeutics with specific inflammatory site-targeting functions in the gastrointestinal tract for ulcerative colitis (UC) management is a noteworthy challenge. Here, we focused on exploring a specific targeting oral nanotherapy, serving as "one stone," for the directed localization of inflammation and the regulation of redox homeostasis, thereby achieving effects against "two birds" for UC treatment. Our designed nanotherapeutic agent OPNs@LMWH (oxidation-sensitive ε-polylysine nanoparticles at low-molecular weight heparin) exhibited specific active targeting effects and therapeutic efficacy simultaneously. Our results indicate that OPNs@LMWH had high integrin αM-mediated immune cellular uptake efficiency and preferentially accumulated in inflamed tissues. We also confirmed its effectiveness in the treatment experiment of colitis in mice by ameliorating oxidative stress and inhibiting the activation of inflammation-associated signaling pathways while simultaneously bolstering the protective mechanisms of the colonic epithelium. Overall, these findings underscore the compelling dual functionalities of OPNs@LMWH, which enable effective oral delivery to inflamed sites, thereby facilitating precise UC management.

Abstract
Due to its chronic nature and complex pathophysiology, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) poses significant challenges for treatment. The long-term therapies for patients, often diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40, call for innovative strategies to target inflammation, minimize systemic drug exposure, and improve patients' therapeutic outcomes. Among the plethora of strategies currently pursued, bioinspired and bioderived nano-based formulations have garnered interest for their safety and versatility in the management of IBD. Bioinspired nanomedicine can host and deliver not only small drug molecules but also biotherapeutics, be made gastroresistant and mucoadhesive or mucopenetrating and, for these reasons, are largely investigated for oral administration, while surprisingly less for rectal delivery, recommended first-line treatment approach for several IBD patients. The use of bioderived nanocarriers, mostly extracellular vesicles (EVs), endowed with unique homing abilities, is still in its infancy with respect to the arsenal of nanomedicine under investigation for IBD treatment. An emerging source of EVs suited for oral administration is ingesta, that is, plants or milk, thanks to their remarkable ability to resist the harsh environment of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Inspired by the unparalleled properties of natural biomaterials, sophisticated avenues for enhancing therapeutic efficacy and advancing precision medicine approaches in IBD care are taking shape, although bottlenecks arising either from the complexity of the nanomedicine designed or from the lack of a clear regulatory pathway still hinder a smooth and efficient translation to the clinics. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

Fexofenadine-loaded chitosan coated solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs): A potential oral therapy for ulcerative colitis. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2024; 196:114205. [PMID: 38311187 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2024.114205] [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: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
The targeting and mucoadhesive features of chitosan (CS)-linked solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were exploited to efficiently deliver fexofenadine (FEX) into the colon, forming a novel and potential oral therapeutic option for ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment. Different FEX-CS-SLNs with varied molecular weights of CS were prepared and optimized. Optimized FEX-CS-SLNs exhibited 229 ± 6.08 nm nanometric size, 36.3 ± 3.18 mV zeta potential, 64.9 % EE, and a controlled release profile. FTIR, DSC, and TEM confirmed good drug entrapment and spherical particles. Mucoadhesive properties of FEX-CS-SLNs were investigated through mucin incubation and exhibited considerable mucoadhesion. The protective effect of FEX-pure, FEX-market, and FEX-CS-SLNs against acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rats was examined. Oral administration of FEX-CS-SLNs for 14 days before ulcerative colitis induction reversed UC symptoms and almost restored the intestinal mucosa to normal integrity and inhibited Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (73.6 %), protein kinase B (73.28 %), and elevated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (185.9 %) in colonic tissue. Additionally, FEX-CS-SLNs inhibited tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) to (70.79 % & 72.99 %) in colonic tissue. The ameliorative potential of FEX-CS-SLNs outperformed that of FEX-pure and FEX-market. The exceptional protective effect of FEX-CS-SLNs makes it a potentially effective oral system for managing ulcerative colitis.

Auricularia auricula Anionic Polysaccharide Nanoparticles for Gastrointestinal Delivery of Pinus koraiensis Polyphenol Used in Bone Protection under Weightlessness. Molecules 2024; 29:245.

Abstract
Auricularia auricula polysaccharides used in Pinus koraiensis polyphenol encapsulation and delivery under weightlessness are rarely reported. In this study, an anionic polysaccharide fragment named AAP Iα with a molecular weight of 133.304 kDa was isolated and purified to construct a polyphenol encapsulation system. Nanoparticles named NPs-PP loaded with a rough surface for Pinus koraiensis polyphenol (PP) delivery were fabricated by AAP Iα and ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL). SEM and the DLS tracking method were used to observe continuous changes in AAP Iα, ε-PL and PP on the nanoparticles' rough surface assembly, as well as the dispersion and stability. Hydrophilic, monodisperse and highly negative charged nanoparticles can be formed at AAP Iα 0.8 mg/mL, ε-PL 20 μg/mL and PP 80 μg/mL. FT-IR was used to determine their electrostatic interactions. Release kinetic studies showed that nanoparticles had an ideal gastrointestinal delivery effect. NPs-PP loaded were assembled through electrostatic interactions between polyelectrolytes after hydrogen bonding formation in PP-AAP Iα and PP-ε-PL, respectively. Colon adhesion properties and PP delivery in vivo of nanoparticles showed that NPs-PP loaded had high adhesion efficiency to the colonic mucosa under simulated microgravity and could enhance PP bioavailability. These results suggest that AAP Iα can be used in PP encapsulation and delivery under microgravity in astronaut food additives.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) targeted drug delivery systems have gained growing attention as potential carriers for the treatment of different diseases, especially local colonic diseases. They have lower side effects as well as enhanced oral delivery efficiency because of various therapeutics that are vulnerable to acidic and enzymatic degradation in the upper GIT are protected. The novel and unique design of self-assembled nanostructures, such as micelles, hydrogels, and liposomes, which can both respond to external stimuli and be further modified, making them ideal for specific, targeted medical needs and localized drug delivery treatments through the oral route. Therefore, the aim of this review was to summarize and critically discuss the pharmaceutical significance and therapeutic feasibility of a wide range of natural and synthetic biomaterials for efficient drug targeting to GIT using the self-assembly method. Among various types of biomaterials, natural and synthetic polymer-based nanostructures have shown promising targeting potential due to their innate pH responsiveness, sustained and controlled release characteristics, and microbial degradation in the GIT that releases the encapsulated drug moieties.

Abstract
The quality of life is significantly impacted by colon-related diseases. There have been a lot of interest in the oral colon-specific drug delivery system (OCDDS) as a potential carrier to decrease systemic side effects and protect drugs from degradation in the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Hydrogels are effective oral colon-targeted drug delivery carriers due to their high biodegradability, substantial drug loading, and great biocompatibility. Natural polysaccharides give the hydrogel system unique structure and function to effectively respond to the complex environment of the GIT and deliver drugs to the colon. In this paper, the physiological factors of colonic drug delivery and the pathological characteristics of common colonic diseases are summarized, and the latest advances in the design, preparation and characterization of natural polysaccharide hydrogels are reviewed, which are expected to provide new references for colon-targeted oral hydrogel systems using natural polysaccharides as raw materials.

Abstract
Based on the biocompatibility and macrophage targeting of natural polysaccharides, combined with the physiological and pathological characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract and colonic mucosa of ulcerative colitis (UC), we prepare dexamethasone (Dex)-loaded oral colon-targeted nano-in-micro drug delivery systems coated with multilayers of chitosan (CS), hyaluronic acid (HA), and finally Eudragit S100 (ECHCD MPs) using a layer-by-layer coating technique for UC treatment through regulating the M1/M2 polarization of intestinal macrophages. HA/CS/Dex nanoparticles (HCD NPs) are ingested by macrophages via CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis to regulate M1-to-M2 macrophage polarization and exert anti-inflammatory effects. Moreover, ECHCD MPs show better colon-targeting properties than Dex-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CD NPs) and HCD NPs which is demonstrated by stronger mucoadhesion to inflamed colon tissues. After oral administration, ECHCD MPs exert significant anti-UC effects. Therefore, ECHCD MPs are proven to be as promising oral colon-targeting drug delivery systems for Dex and have potential application in UC treatment.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory disorder that affects the gastrointestinal tract. IBD has become an increasingly common condition in both developed and developing nations over the last few decades, owing to a variety of factors like a rising population and diets packed with processed and junk foods. While the root pathophysiology of IBD is unknown, treatments are focused on medications aimed to mitigate symptoms. Alginate (AG), a marine-derived polysaccharide, is extensively studied for its biocompatibility, pH sensitivity, and crosslinking nature. This polymer is thoroughly researched in drug delivery systems for IBD treatment, as it is naturally available, non-toxic, cost effective, and can be easily and safely cross-linked with other polymers to form an interconnected network, which helps in controlling the release of drugs over an extended period. There are various types of drug delivery systems developed from AG to deliver therapeutic agents; among them, nanotechnology-based systems and hydrogels are popular due to their ability to facilitate targeted drug delivery, reduce dosage, and increase the therapeutic efficiency. AG-based carrier systems are not only used for the sustained release of drug, but also used in the delivery of siRNA, interleukins, and stem cells for site directed drug delivery and tissue regenerating ability respectively. This review is focussed on pathogenesis and currently studied medications for IBD, AG-based drug delivery systems and their properties for the alleviation of IBD. Moreover, future challenges are also be discoursed to improve the research of AG in the field of biopharmaceuticals and drug delivery.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory condition with ulcerations throughout the colon. The existing remedies have some limitations such as drug inactivation, poor absorption, and adverse reactions. The present study aimed to design novel microsponge formulations to enhance remission of the dexamethasone (as a model pharmaceutical ingredient) in the colon. Microsponges were prepared by using the quasi-emulsion technique. The optimal formulation was selected by applying the design of experiments approach which used methylcellulose (MC) (0.75-2%, w/w), polyvinylalcohol (PVA)(0.5-1%, w/w), and tween 80 (TW80) (1.5-2.5%, w/w). The critical quality attributes were selected as particle size and entrapment efficiency. The particle size and encapsulation efficiency were found as 140.38 ± 9.2 µm and 77.96 ± 3.4 %. After the optimization; morphological, thermal, and physicochemical characterization studies were performed. Ultimately, the optimal formulation was investigated by using the acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis model in rats. The physicochemical characterization studies confirmed that the formulation components were compatible with each other. The in vitro release mechanisms were fitted to First order kinetics at pH 1.2 (R2:0.9563), and Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetics at pH 4.5 (R2: 0.9877), and pH 6.8 (R2: 0.9706). The medicated microsponges exhibited remarkable recovery compared to the control group of the in vivo ulcerative colitis model (p<0.05). It could be concluded that microsponges were evaluated as a promising alternative drug delivery system for the management of ulcerative colitis.

Mucoadhesive Nanoparticles Enhance the Therapeutic Effect of Dexamethasone on Experimental Ulcerative Colitis by the Local Administration as an Enema. Drug Des Devel Ther 2023; 17:191-207.

Abstract
Background As the first-line drug to treat ulcerative colitis (UC), long-term use of glucocorticoids (GCs) produces severe toxic and side effects. Local administration as enema can increase the local GCs concentrations and reduce systemic exposure to high oral doses by directly delivering GCs to the inflammation site in the distal colorectum. However, UC patients are often accompanied by diarrhea, leading to the short colonic residence time of GCs and failure to exert their function fully. Purpose A kind of mucoadhesive nanoparticles (NPs) loading different dexamethasone derivatives (DDs) were developed, which could attach to the positively charged inflammatory colonic mucosa through electrostatic adsorption after administered by enema, thereby improving the local concentration and achieving effective targeted therapy for UC. Methods Two DDs, dexamethasone hemisuccinate and dexamethasone phosphate, were synthesized. In NPs preparation, The core PEI-DDs NPs were built by the electrostatic adsorption of DDs and the cationic polymer polyethyleneimine (PEI). Then, the natural polyanionic polysaccharide sodium alginate (SA) was electronically coated around NPs to construct the final SA-PEI-DDs NPs, followed by the in vitro stability and release tests, in vitro and in vivo colonic mucosal adhesion tests. In the in vivo anti-UC test, the experimental colitis mice were induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid. The body weight and disease activity index changes were measured, and the myeloperoxidase activity, pro-inflammatory cytokines concentration, and hematoxylin and eosin staining were also investigated to evaluate the therapeutic effect of NPs. Results The structures of two DDs were demonstrated by 1H-NMR and MS. Both NPs were negatively charged and achieved high loading efficiency of DDs, while their particle sizes were significantly different. NPs showed good stability and sustained release properties in the simulated colonic environment. Moreover, the negative charge on the of NPs surface made them easier to adhere to the positively charged inflammatory colonic mucosa, thereby enhancing the enrichment and retention of DDS in the colitis site. Furthermore, the NPs exhibited better therapeutic effects than free Dex on the experimental colitis mice induced by TNBS through the enema rectal. Conclusion These results indicated the mucoadhesive NPs as a kind of novel nano-enema showed great potential to achieve efficient treatment on UC.

Polydopamine-coated thalidomide nanocrystals promote DSS-induced murine colitis recovery through Macrophage M2 polarization together with the synergistic anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic effects. Int J Pharm 2022; 630:122376.

Abstract
High levels of proinflammatory cytokines, macrophage polarization status and immune-mediated angiogenesis play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Thalidomide, an anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antiangiogenic agent, is used off-label for treatment of IBD. The therapeutic potential of thalidomide is limited by its poor solubility and side effects associated with its systemic exposure. To address these issues and promote its therapeutic effects on IBD, thalidomide nanocrystals (Thali NCs) were prepared and coated with polydopamine (PDA), a potential macrophage polarization modulator, to form PDA coated Thali NCs (Thali@PDA). Thali@PDA possessed a high drug loading and displayed average particle size of 764.7 ± 50.30 nm. It showed a better anti-colitis effect than bare thalidomide nanocrystals at the same dose of thalidomide. Synergistic effects of polydopamine on anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic activities of thalidomide were observed. Furthermore, PDA coating could direct polarization of macrophages towards M2 phenotype, which boosted therapeutic effects of Thali@PDA on IBD. Upon repeated dosing of Thali@PDA for one week, symptoms of IBD in mice were significantly relieved, and histomorphology of the colitis colons were normalized. Key proinflammatory cytokine levels in the inflamed intestines were significantly decreased. Toxicity study also revealed that Thali@PDA is a safe formulation.

Abstract
Ophiopogon japonicus polysaccharides (OJPs) have great anti-inflammation and immunomodulatory abilities. However, the low bioavailability of OJPs reduces its applicability in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Chitosan (CS) has excellent mucoadhesive properties and absorption-enhancing ability in oral administration. Casein hydrolysate (CL) has good interfacial diffusivity and emulsifying ability, and can interact with polysaccharides to form complexes combining the individual properties of both. Therefore, chitosan and casein hydrolysate are good candidates for developing nanoformulations for oral delivery. In this study, bioactive polysaccharides (OJPs), CS and CL, were combined to prepare CS/OJPs/CL co-assembled biodegradable nanoparticles. The interactions between polysaccharides (CS and OJPs) and peptide (CL) resulted in the formation of nanoparticles with an average particle size of 198 nm and high OJPs loading efficiency. The colloidal properties of the nanoparticles were pH-dependent, which were changed significantly in simulated digestive fluid at different pH values. OJPs released from the CS/OJPs/CL nanoparticles were greatly affected by pH and enzymatic degradation (trypsin and lysozyme). The nanoparticles were easily internalized by macrophages, thereby enhancing the OJPs’ inhibitory ability against Ni2+-induced cytotoxicity and LPS-induced nitric oxide production. This study demonstrates that prepared polysaccharide/protein co-assembled nanoparticles can be potential nanocarriers for the oral delivery of bioactive polysaccharides with anti-inflammatory functions.

Abstract
In this work, we report the fabrication and functional demonstration of a kind of dually responsive nanoparticles (NPs) as a potential drug delivery vector. The pH value, corresponding to the acidic microenvironment at the tumor site, and mannitol, to the extracellular trigger agent, were employed as the dually responsive factors. The function of dual responses was achieved by breaking the dynamic covalent bonds between phenylboronic acid (PBA) groups and diols at low pH value (pH 5.0) and/or under the administration of mannitol, which triggered the decomposition of the complex NPs and the concomitant release of anticancer drug of doxorubicin (DOX) loaded inside the NPs. The NPs were composed of modified chitosan (PQCS) with quaternary ammonium and PBA groups on the side chains, heparin (Hep), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), in which quaternary ammonium groups offer the positive charge for the cell-internalization of NPs, PBA groups serve for the formation of dynamic bonds in responding to pH change and mannitol addition, PVA furnishes the NPs with diol groups for the interaction with PBA groups and the formation of dynamic NPS, and Hep plays the roles of reducing the cytotoxicity of highly positively-charged chitosan and forming of complex NPs for DOX up-loading. A three-step fabrication process of drug-loaded NPs was described, and the characterization results were comprehensively demonstrated. The sustained drug release from the drug-loaded NPs displayed obvious pH and mannitol dependence. More specifically, the cumulative DOX release was increased more than 1.5-fold at pH 5.0 with 20 mg mL−1 mannitol. Furthermore, the nanoparticles were manifested with effective antitumor efficient and apparently enhanced cytotoxicity in response to the acidic pH value and/or mannitol.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex phenomenon particularly owing to the rise in antimicrobial resistance. This has attracted the attention of the scientific community to search for new alternative solutions. Among these, silver being antimicrobial has been used since ancient times. Considering this fact, the main goal of our study was to evaluate the wound-healing ability of mycofabricated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). We have focused on the formulation of silver nanogel for the management of wounds in albino Wistar rats. Mycosynthesized AgNPs from Fusarium oxysporum were used for the development of novel wound-healing antimicrobial silver nanogel with different concentrations of AgNPs, i.e., 0.1, 0.5, and 1 mg g-1. The formulated silver nanogel demonstrated excellent wound-healing activity in the incision, excision, and burn wound-healing model. In the incision wound-healing model, silver nanogel at a concentration of 0.5 mg g-1 exhibited superior wound-healing effect, whereas in the case of excision and burn wound-healing model, silver nanogel at the concentrations of 0.1 and 1 mg g-1 showed enhanced wound-healing effect, respectively. Moreover, silver nanogel competently arrests the bacterial growth on the wound surface and offers an improved local environment for scald wound healing. Histological studies of healed tissues and organs of the rat stated that AgNPs at less concentration (1 mg g-1) do not show any toxic or adverse effect on the body and promote wound healing of animal tissue. Based on these studies, we concluded that the silver nanogel prepared from mycosynthesized AgNPs can be used as a promising antimicrobial wound dressing.

[PMID: 35093456 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2021] [Revised: 01/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Painong San is a prescription composed of traditional Chinese medicine, which has been used to treat colitis. The Painong San's usage recorded in "Jingui Yaolve" by Zhongjing Zhang in the Later Han Dynasty is powder. However, the decoction is often used in reality. It's unclear which dosage form of Painong San is more suitable for colitis treatment and why? AIM OF THE STUDY This study aims to evaluate the different therapeutic effects of Painong San (a powder of Painong San) and Painong Decoction (a decoction of Painong San) on a dextran sulfate sodium salt-induced colitis model and the possible reasons of these different effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS The contents of paeoniflorin, naringin, heperidin and neohesperidin in Painong San and Painong decoction were determined by an ultra-performance liquid chromatography system. The therapeutic effect on colitis was evaluated by intragastric administration of Painong San or Painong Decoction in dextran sulfate sodium salt-induced mouse model. The accumulated release rate of Painong San in vitro was analyzed with artificial gastric juice, artificial intestinal juice, and artificial colon juice. The concentrations of four compounds in the blood, intestinal contents, and intestinal fluids were detected by an-ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry system. In situ intestinal perfusion experiments were used to observe the adhesion of Painong San to the intestine's surface. The expression of Mucin-2 and Trefoil Factor 3 in the colon was studied by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the contents of the four compounds in Painong San and Painong Decoction. In vivo, Painong San has a better therapeutic effect than Painong Decoction in the treatment of colitis. Painong San could be released slowly in the simulated human digestion environment in vitro, and more Painong San particles were released on the intestinal surface in the colitis state in the healthy state. Painong San could increase the bioavailability of hesperidin and neohesperidin, and their concentrations in local intestinal tissue, intestinal fluid and intestinal contents. The expression of trefoil Factor 3 protein on the surface of the colon tended to be in the intestinal cavity and overlapped with the expression of mucin-2. Trefoil Factor 3 accumulates in the intestinal cavity of the colon in the state of colitis, which may increase the adhesion of Painong San particles. CONCLUSION In conclusion, this experiment proved that Painong San is a more suitable dosage form for the treatment of dextran sulfate sodium salt-induced colitis than Painong Decoction, which may be related to the enhancement of Painong San particle adhesion to the intestine in colitis. This study provides a reference for the selection of clinical dosage forms for traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract
The unique properties and applications of nanotechnology in targeting drug delivery, cosmetics, fabrics, water treatment and food packaging have received increased focus the last two decades. The application of nanoparticles in medicine is rapidly evolving, requiring careful investigation of toxicity before clinical use. Chitosan, a derivative of the natural polysaccharide chitin, has become increasingly relevant in modern medicine because of its unique properties as a nanoparticle. Chitosan is already widely used as a food additive and in food packaging, bandages and wound dressings. Thus, with an increasing application worldwide, cytotoxicity assessment of nanoparticles prepared from chitosan is of great interest. The purpose of this review is to provide an updated status of cytotoxicity studies scrutinizing the safety of chitosan nanoparticles used in biomedical research. A search in Ovid Medline from 23 March 1998 to 4 January 2022, with the combination of the search words Chitosan or chitosan, nanoparticle or nano particle or nanosphere or nanocapsule or nano capsule, toxicology or toxic or cytotoxic and mucosa or mucous membrane resulted in a total of 88 articles. After reviewing all the articles, those involving non-organic nanoparticles and cytotoxicity assays conducted exclusively on nanoparticles with anti-tumor effect (i.e., having cytotoxic effect) were excluded, resulting in 70 articles. Overall, the chitosan nanoparticles included in this review seem to express low cytotoxicity regardless of particle composition or cytotoxicity assay and cell line used for testing. Nonetheless, all new chitosan derivatives and compositions are recommended to undergo careful characterization and cytotoxicity assessment before being implemented on the market.

Abstract
Oral cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), has posed a grave challenge to global health due to its high incidence, metastasis, and mortality rates. Despite numerous studies and favorable improvements in the therapeutic strategies over the past few decades, the prognosis of this disease remains dismal. Moreover, several drawbacks are associated with the conventional treatment; including permanent disfigurement and physical impairment that are attributed to surgical intervention, and systemic toxicity that results from aggressive radio- or chemotherapies, which impacts patients’ prognosis and post-treatment quality of life. The highly vascularized, non-keratinized oral mucosa appears as a potential route for cytotoxic drug administration in treating oral cancer. It acts as a non-invasive portal for drug entry targeting the local oral lesions of the early stages of cancer and the systemic metastasis sites of advanced cancer. The absorption of the poorly aqueous-soluble anti-cancer drugs can be enhanced due to the increased permeability of the ulcerous mucosa lining in the disease state and by bypassing the hepatic first-pass metabolism. However, some challenges in oral transmucosal drug delivery include the drugs’ taste, the limited surface area of the membrane lining the oral cavity, and flushing and enzymatic degradation by saliva. Therefore, mucoadhesive nanocarriers have emerged as promising platforms for controlled, targeted drug delivery in the oral cavity. The surface functionalization of nanocarriers with various moieties allows for drug targeting, bioavailability enhancement, and biodistribution at the site of action, while the mucoadhesive feature prolongs the drug’s residence time for preferential accumulation to optimize the therapeutic effect and reduce systemic toxicity. This review has been focused to highlight the potential of various nanocarriers (e.g., nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, nanocapsules, and liposomes) in conferring targeting, solubility and bioavailability enhancement of actives and mucoadhesive properties as novel tumor-targeted drug delivery approaches in oral cancer treatment.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a functionalized layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled film entrapped with oxaliplatin (OX) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) siRNA in the localized treatment of colon cancer. The LbL film was prepared by the sequential layering of chitosan (CS) and alginate to attain desired physical and mechanical properties. The film was functionalized by coating folic acid-conjugated CS on one side. On the other side, polycaprolactone was coated as a backing layer to provide directional drug release. OX was entrapped within the layers of the film, while STAT3 siRNA was complexed with CS to form nanoparticles before entrapment in the LbL film. The CS-siRNA nanoparticles were taken up by the colon carcinoma, Caco-2 cells within 3 h and provided concentration-dependent reduction in STAT3 protein expression. The functionalized LbL film (F-LbL film) selectively adhered to the colon cancer tissue in the mice model, whereas the nonfunctionalized film adhered to the normal colon tissue. The combination of OX and STAT3 siRNA provided significantly greater tumor regression, survival rate, and STAT3 protein suppression after localized delivery through oral administration compared with intravenous administration. Taken together, the F-LbL film can selectively bind to colon tumors for localized delivery of drugs to treat colon cancer.

Chitosan/Alginate Nanoparticles for the Enhanced Oral Antithrombotic Activity of Clam Heparinoid from the Clam Coelomactra antiquata. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20020136.

Abstract
Chitosan/alginate nanoparticles (DG1-NPs and DG1/Cur-NPs) aiming to enhance the oral antithrombotic activity of clam heparinoid DG1 were prepared by ionotropic pre-gelation. The influence of parameters, such as the concentration of sodium alginate (SA), chitosan (CTS), CaCl2, clam heparinoid DG1, and curcumin (Cur), on the characteristics of the nanoparticles, were investigated. Results indicate that chitosan and alginate can be used as polymer matrices to encapsulate DG1, and nanoparticle characteristics depend on the preparation parameters. Nano-particles should be prepared using 0.6 mg/mL SA, 0.33 mg/mL CaCl2, 0.6 mg/mL CTS, 7.2 mg/mL DG1, and 0.24 mg/mL Cur under vigorous stirring to produce DG1-NPS and DG1/Cur-NPS with small size, high encapsulation efficiency, high loading capacity, and negative zeta potential from approximately −20 to 30 mV. Data from scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry, and differential scanning calorimetry analyses showed no chemical reaction between DG1, Cur, and the polymers; only physical mixing. Moreover, the drug was loaded in the amorphous phase within the nanoparticle matrix. In the acute pulmonary embolism murine model, DG1-NPs enhanced the oral antithrombotic activity of DG1, but DG1/Cur-NPs did not exhibit higher antithrombotic activity than DG1-NPs. Therefore, the chitosan/alginate nanoparticles enhanced the oral antithrombotic activity of DG1, but curcumin did not further enhance this effect.

Abstract
In this study, oral colon-targeted adhesion core-shell nanoparticles were designed by applying FA-Zein as the core and using pectin as the shell to enhance the low bioavailability exhibited by glycyrrhizic acid (GA) and the anti-inflammatory effect in specific parts of the intestine. As indicated by the results, the nanoparticles (NPs) remained stable in the stomach and small intestine, while pectins began to degrade and release GA in considerable amounts in the colon with the abundant flora. Subsequently, folate-acid targeting was further assessed with Raw 264.7 and NCM 460 cells. Lastly, NPs were reported to exhibit high adhesion on the colon by using the DSS-induced ulcerative colitis mouse model. Moreover, as indicated by in vitro and in vivo studies, nanoparticles could decrease the levels of MPO and TNF-α by reducing macrophages and neutrophils. In brief, this study provides an ideal loaded natural anti-inflammatory drug delivery system to treat ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to construct a pH and redox sensitive nanoparticle to effectively deliver ginsenoside Rh2 for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Herein, glycogen was modified by urocanic acid and α-lipoic acid (α-LA) to obtain an amphiphilic polymer (LA-UaGly). Such polymer LA-UaGly could self-assemble to form nanoparticles (Blank NPs) in water with excellent stability, which could also successfully encapsulated ginsenoside Rh2 to form Rh2 nanoparticles (Rh2 NPs) with encapsulation efficiency of 74.36 ± 0.34%. DLS analysis indicated Rh2 NPs were spherical with a particle size of 128.9 ± 0.3 nm. As expected, Rh2 NPs exhibited typical pH and redox dual response release behaviour as well as the excellent in vivo safety. In vitro tests showed that Rh2 NPs could effectively internalize and release Rh2 into RAW264.7 cells, and protect cells from apoptosis (p < 0.05). More interestingly, Rh2 NPs exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity via significantly inhibiting the overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) and inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) (p < 0.05). In vivo experiments suggested that Rh2 NPs significantly ameliorated the weight loss, colon length, disease activity index (DAI) score, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in mice caused by dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS) (p < 0.05). Simultaneously, pathological analysis proved that Rh2 NPs could significantly reduce histological damage and inflammatory infiltration in mice. Rh2 NPs could also effectively regulate the intestinal flora of mice by improving the species uniformity and abundance of the intestinal flora of mice and restoring the species diversity of the intestinal flora. In addition, both in vivo and in vitro experiments proved that Rh2 NPs had stronger anti-inflammatory activity than Rh2. This study provides a promising strategy for the effective treatment of UC.

Abstract
Herein, a flexible oral colon-targeting delivery system, mediated by electrostatic layer-by-layer alternate deposition with pectin-trimethyl chitosan (TMC) onto liposomes-loading celastrol (Cel/PT-LbL Lipo), was fabricated to enhance anti-UC efficacy. Along with layer-by-layer coating, Cel/Lipo exhibited surface charge reversal, a slight increase in particle size, and a sustained drug release profile in a simulative gastrointestinal tract medium. Based on its bilayer coating of polysaccharides, Cel/PT-LbL Lipo alleviated cytotoxicity of celastrol in colon epithelial NCM460 cells. Due to the strong mucoadhesion of TMC with mucin, PT-LbL Lipo benefited colon localization and prolonged retention ability of its payloads. Ultimately, Cel/PT-LbL Lipo significantly mitigated colitis symptoms and accelerated colitis repair in DSS-treated mice by regulating the levels of pro-inflammatory factors related to the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway. Collectively, this study demonstrates that the pectin/trimethylated chitosan coating may allow for Cel/PT-LbL Lipo to function as a more beneficial therapeutic strategy for UC treatment.

Current treatment strategies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) seek to alleviate the undesirable symptoms of the disorder. Despite the higher specificity of newer generation therapeutics, e.g. monoclonal antibodies, adverse effects still arise from their interference with non-specific systemic immune cascades. To circumvent such undesirable effects, both conventional and newer therapeutic options can benefit from various targeting strategies. Of course, both the development and the assessment of the efficiency of such targeted delivery systems necessitate the use of suitable in vivo and in vitro models representing relevant pathophysiological manifestations of the disorder. Accordingly, the current review seeks to provide a comprehensive discussion of the available preclinical models with emphasis on human in vitro models of IBD, along with their potentials and limitations. This is followed by an elaboration on the advancements in the field of biology- and nanotechnology-based targeted drug delivery systems and the potential rooms for improvement to facilitate their clinical translation.

Abstract
Although magnolol (Mag), an anti-inflammatory natural compound, has been demonstrated to play protective effects on ulcerative colitis (UC), its application as an alternative therapeutic reagent for UC treatment is still greatly impeded due to its poor stability in the gastrointestinal tract and insufficient accumulation in the inflamed colon lesion. Nano-/microsized drug delivery systems can potentially overcome some challenges regarding the oral administration of phytochemicals, which still confront premature early drug release, degradation of NPs, or the sustained drug release of MPs. In this study, we primarily loaded Mag into the core-shell zein-based nanoparticles with chondroitin sulfate coating (Mag@CS-Zein NPs) with an average size of 142.27 ± 5.11 nm, showing significant macrophage-targeting and enhanced colon epithelial cellular uptake capacity. Then, we embedded Mag@CS-Zein NPs into hydrogel microspheres via an electrospraying technology. The Mag@CS-Zein NPsinMPs presented a uniform-sized sphere with an average size of 164.36 ± 6.29 μm and sustained drug-release profiles. Compared to CS-Zein NPs, the developed CS-Zein NPsinMPs exhibited prolonged colon retention on the inflammatory surface, as seen from ex vivo and in vivo imaging fluorescence adhesion experiments. Based on the advantage of the combination of hybrid nanoparticles-in-microparticles, oral administration of Mag@CS-Zein NPsinMPs significantly alleviated colitis symptoms in DSS-treated mice by regulating the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10) and factor accelerated colonic mucosal barrier repair via upregulating the expression of ZO-1 and occludin. This study provides great insights into the oral drug delivery of natural compounds for UC therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to determine the immunoadjuvant efficacy of mixed cross-linked dextran microspheres (CDM) and tetanus toxoid (TT)-loaded trimethyl chitosan (TMC) nanospheres in dry powder form. MATERIALS AND METHODS The TMC nanoparticles (NPs) containing TT were produced using the ionic gelation method. Co-administration of TT-loaded TMC NPs and CDM as an absorption enhancer was performed to improve immunity against the antigen. Dry powder formulations were delivered via the nasal route in a rabbit model. RESULTS Among immunization groups, mixing of CDM with TT encapsulated in TMC NPs could elicit the highest titer of systemic IgG antibody. Furthermore, the addition of CDM to TT-loaded TMC enhanced the sIgA response relative to the TT solution. CONCLUSION The TMC NPs had a considerable effect on mucosal and systemic immunity against the TT antigen. Therefore, the CDM excipient can be utilized for nasal immunization to elevate systemic and mucosal responses.
