Bin Jumah MN, Al Othman SI, Alomari AA, Allam AA, Abukhadra MR. Synthesis and characterization of cellulose fibers modified zinc phosphate/hydroxyapatite core-shell as enhanced carrier of cisplatin: Loading, release, and cytotoxicity. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134169. [PMID: 39097057 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134169] [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: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/05/2024]
Abstract
The uncontrolled administration of the cisplatin drug (CPTN) resulted in numerous drawbacks. Therefore, effective, affordable, and biocompatible delivery systems were suggested to regulate the loading, release, and therapeutic effect of CPTN. Zinc phosphate/hydroxyapatite hybrid form (ZP/HP) and core-shell nano-rod morphology, as well as its functionalized derivative with cellulose (CF@ZP/HP), were synthesized by the facile dissolution precipitation method followed by mixing with cellulose fibers, respectively. The developed CF@ZP/HP displayed remarkable enhanced CPTN loading properties (418.2 mg/g) as compared to ZP/HP (259.8 mg/g). The CPTN loading behaviors into CF@ZP/HP follow the Langmuir isotherm properties (R2 > 0.98) in addition to the kinetic activities of the pseudo-first-order model (R2 > 0.96). The steric assessment validates the notable increase in the existing loading receptors after the functionalization of ZP/HP with CF from 57.7 mg/g (ZP/HP) to 90.5 mg/g. The functionalization also impacted the capacity of each existing receptor to be able to ensure 5 CPTN molecules. This, in addition to the loading energies (<40 kJ/mol), donates the loading of CPTN by physical multi-molecular processes and in vertical orientation. The CPTN releasing patterns of CF@ZP/HP exhibit slow and controlled properties (95.7 % after 200 h at pH 7.4 and 100 % after 120 h at pH 5.5), but faster than the properties of ZP/HP. The kinetic modeling of the release activities together with the diffusion exponent (>0.45) reflected the release of CPTN according to both erosion and diffusion mechanisms. The loading of CPTN into both ZP/HP and CF@ZP/HP also resulted in a marked enhancement in the anticancer activity of CPTN against human cervical epithelial malignancies (HeLa) (cell viability = 5.6 % (CPTN), 3.2 % (CPTN loaded ZP/HP), and 1.12 % (CPTN loaded CF@ZP/HP)).

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:134970.

Abstract
It's currently a challenge to design a drug delivery system for chemotherapy with high drug contents and minimal side effects. Herein, we constructed a novel one-dimensional binary-drug delivery system for cancer treatment. In this drug delivery system, drugs (doxorubicin (DOX) and resveratrol (RES)) self-assemble on bacterial cellulose nano-whiskers (BCW) and are subsequently encapsulated by polydopamine (PDA) with high encapsulation efficiencies (DOX: 81.53 %, RES: 70.32 %) and high drug loading efficiencies (DOX: 51.54 %, RES: 36.93 %). The cumulative release efficiencies can reach 89.27 % for DOX and 80.05 % for RES in acidic medium within 96 h. The BCW/(DOX + RES)/PDA can enter tumor cells easily through endocytosis and presents significant anti-cancer effects. Furthermore, the released-RES plays a protective role in normal cells through up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes activities and scavenging of reactive oxygen species. Taken together, the one-dimensional BCW/(DOX + RES)/PDA binary-drug delivery system can be used for the anticancer treatment along with slight side effects.

Modulating the Release Kinetics of Natural Product Actinomycin from Bacterial Nanocellulose Films and Their Antimicrobial Activity. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:847. [PMID: 39199804 PMCID: PMC11352114 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11080847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2024] [Revised: 08/10/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to create a more sustainable and controlled delivery system based on natural biopolymer bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) and bacterial natural product actinomycin (Act), with the applicative potential in the biomedical field. In order to provide improved interaction between BNC and the active compound, and thus to modulate the release kinetics, the TEMPO oxidation of BNC support was carried out. A mix of actinomycins from bacterial fermentation (ActX) were used as natural antimicrobial agents with an established bioactivity profile and clinical use. BNC and TEMPO-oxidized BNC films with incorporated active compounds were obtained and analyzed by FTIR, SEM, XPS, and XRD. The ActX release profiles were determined in phosphate-buffer solution, PBS, at 37 °C over time. FTIR analysis confirmed the improved incorporation and efficiency of ActX adsorption on oxidized BNC due to the availability of more active sites provided by oxidation. SEM analysis indicated the incorporation of ActX into the less-dense morphology of the TEMPO-oxidized BNC in comparison to pure BNC. The release kinetics of ActX were significantly affected by the BNC structure, and the activated BNC sample indicated the sustained release of active compounds over time, corresponding to the Fickian diffusion mechanism. Antimicrobial tests using Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 6571 confirmed the potency of this BNC-based system for biomedical applications, taking advantage of the capacity of modified BNC to control and modulate the release of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
The application of Chitosan (CS) in drug delivery systems, plant growth promotion, antibacterial potentiality and plant defense is significantly limited by its inability to dissolve in neutral solutions. In this work, CS with different molecular weights (Mw) has been oxidized, yielding five kinds of oxidized chitosan (OCS 1-5) with solubilities in neutral solutions. The results obtained from Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy clearly showed the successful oxidation of the hydroxyl group to form aldehyde and carboxyl groups. And the CS derivatives showed the wrinkled and lamellar structures on the surface of OCS. The results of antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum showed that the OCS dissolved in 2 % (V/V) acetic acid exhibited better performance of almost complete inhibition of mycelial growth compared with CS at the concentration of 500 μg/mL. Among the five OCS, OCS-4 exhibited the best antifungal effect and had the lowest EC50 value of 581.68 μg/mL in samples. OCS-4 displayed superior promoting effect on seed germination with a germination potential of 62.2 % at a concentration of 3 g/L and a germination rate of 74.5 %. Additionally, the other four OCS also showed excellent antifungal activity with dose-dependent manners. These results indicated that the OCS had excellent antifungal potential in agricultural production.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is generated by certain species of bacteria and comprises polysaccharides with unique physical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics. Due to its outstanding biocompatibility, high purity, excellent mechanical strength, high water absorption, and highly porous structure, bacterial cellulose has been recently investigated for biomedical application. However, the pure form of bacterial cellulose is hardly used as a biomedical material due to some of its inherent shortcomings. To extend its applications in drug delivery, modifications of native bacterial cellulose are widely used to improve its properties. Usually, bacterial cellulose modifications can be carried out by physical, chemical, and biological methods. In this review, a brief introduction to bacterial cellulose and its production and fabrication is first given, followed by up-to-date and in-depth discussions of modification. Finally, we focus on the potential applications of bacterial cellulose as a drug delivery system.

Abstract
In recent years, a significant amount of drugs have been taken orally, which are not as effective as desired. To solve this problem, bacterial cellulose-based dermal/transdermal drug delivery systems (BC-DDSs) with unique properties such as cell compatibility, hemocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties, and the ability to encapsulate various therapeutic agents with the controlled release have been introduced. A BC-dermal/transdermal DDS reduces first-pass metabolism and systematic side effects while improving patient compliance and dosage effectiveness by controlling drug release through the skin. The barrier function of the skin, especially the stratum corneum, can interfere with drug delivery. Few drugs can pass through the skin to reach effective concentrations in the blood to treat diseases. Due to their unique physicochemical properties and high potential to reduce immunogenicity and improve bioavailability, BC-dermal/transdermal DDSs are widely used to deliver various types of drugs for disease treatment. In this review, we describe the different types of BC-dermal/ transdermal DDSs, along with a critical discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of these systems. After the general presentation, the review is focused on recent advances in the preparation and applications of BC-based dermal/transdermal DDSs in various types of disease treatment.

Abstract
Oxidized bacterial nanocellulose (OBC) is reported to prevent microbial growth, but its antibacterial characteristics and mechanism are still unclear. Here, the antibacterial mechanism of OBC is explored by detecting and assessing the interaction of OBC with different carboxyl content on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The results show that OBC has strong antibacterial activity and antibiofilm activity against S. aureus and E. coli, which is positively correlated with the carboxyl content of OBC. After OBC treatment, the bacteria adhesion is inhibited and the cell membrane is destroyed leading to increased permeability. Further investigation reveals that the concentration of cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) that induced biofilm formation is significantly decreased to 1.81 pmol mg-1 after OBC treatment. In addition, OBC inactivates mature biofilms, with inactivation rates up to 79.3%. This study suggests that OBC has excellent antibacterial and antiadhesion properties, which can increase the cell membrane permeability and inhibit c-di-GMP formation. In addition, OBC also has a strong inactivation effect on mature biofilm, which can be used as an effective antibiofilm agent.

Abstract
The highly absorbent, antibacterial dressings with a sustained release of the antimicrobial are considered necessary measures to counteract chronic wound biofilm-based infections. This study aimed to analyze wet and dry bacterial cellulose (BC) materials, modified by chemical cross-linking, and impregnated with an antiseptic based on octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT) in the context of its antibiofilm/antibacterial activity, exudate absorption, and cytotoxicity. The native BC was obtained from cost-effective, ecological-friendly potato juice (leftover from the starch industry). The ability to absorb and retain OCT, exudate absorption capacity, the kinetics of OCT release as well as antibiofilm/antibacterial activity of modified BC materials against biofilm-forming and planktonic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were investigated. The performed analyses revealed that modified BC materials, thanks to their layered structure with numerous air spaces, were characterized by sustained exudate absorption and OCT release profile, which allowed them to exhibit high antimicrobial activity for up to 7 days, with a reduction of planktonic and biofilm cells of 84-100% and 69-93%, respectively. The modified BC materials showed also no cytotoxicity against fibroblast cell line L929 in vitro and were characterized by firm adhesion to the curved surfaces. These results indicate that cross-linked BC impregnated with OCT may be a particularly promising dressing material (obtained using sustainable processes), especially in the treatment of biofilm-infected, highly-exuding wounds.

Abstract
Throughout history, natural biomaterials have benefited society. Nevertheless, in recent years, tailoring natural materials for diverse biomedical applications accompanied with sustainability has become the focus. With the progress in the field of materials science, novel approaches for the production, processing, and functionalization of biomaterials to obtain specific architectures have become achievable. This review highlights an immensely adaptable natural biomaterial, bacterial cellulose (BC). BC is an emerging sustainable biopolymer with immense potential in the biomedical field due to its unique physical properties such as flexibility, high porosity, good water holding capacity, and small size; chemical properties such as high crystallinity, foldability, high purity, high polymerization degree, and easy modification; and biological characteristics such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, excellent biological affinity, and non-biotoxicity. The structure of BC consists of glucose monomer units polymerized via cellulose synthase in β-1-4 glucan chains, creating BC nano fibrillar bundles with a uniaxial orientation.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23073955. [PMID: 35409314 PMCID: PMC8999934 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23073955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are considered the leading cause of death in the world, accounting for approximately 85% of sudden death cases. In dogs and cats, sudden cardiac death occurs commonly, despite the scarcity of available pathophysiological and prevalence data. Conventional treatments are not able to treat injured myocardium. Despite advances in cardiac therapy in recent decades, transplantation remains the gold standard treatment for most heart diseases in humans. In veterinary medicine, therapy seeks to control clinical signs, delay the evolution of the disease and provide a better quality of life, although transplantation is the ideal treatment. Both human and veterinary medicine face major challenges regarding the transplantation process, although each area presents different realities. In this context, it is necessary to search for alternative methods that overcome the recovery deficiency of injured myocardial tissue. Application of biomaterials is one of the most innovative treatments for heart regeneration, involving the use of hydrogels from decellularized extracellular matrix, and their association with nanomaterials, such as alginate, chitosan, hyaluronic acid and gelatin. A promising material is bacterial cellulose hydrogel, due to its nanostructure and morphology being similar to collagen. Cellulose provides support and immobilization of cells, which can result in better cell adhesion, growth and proliferation, making it a safe and innovative material for cardiovascular repair.

Abstract
Nanocellulose, a biopolymer, has received wide attention from researchers owing to its superior physicochemical properties, such as high mechanical strength, low density, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Nanocellulose can be extracted from wide range of sources, including plants, bacteria, and algae. Depending on the extraction process and dimensions (diameter and length), they are categorized into three main types: cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC). CNCs are a highly crystalline and needle-like structure, whereas CNFs have both amorphous and crystalline regions in their network. BNC is the purest form of nanocellulose. The nanocellulose properties can be tuned by chemical functionalization, which increases its applicability in biomedical applications. This review highlights the fabrication of different surface-modified nanocellulose to deliver active molecules, such as drugs, proteins, and plasmids. Nanocellulose-mediated delivery of active molecules is profoundly affected by its topographical structure and the interaction between the loaded molecules and nanocellulose. The applications of nanocellulose and its composites in tissue engineering have been discussed. Finally, the review is concluded with further opportunities and challenges in nanocellulose-mediated delivery of active molecules.

Abstract
The uncontrolled release of pharmaceutical drugs into the environment raised serious concerns in the last decades as they can potentially exert adverse effects on living organisms even at the low concentrations at which they are typically found. Among them, platinum based cytostatic drugs (Pt CDs) are among the most used drugs in cancer treatments which are administered via intravenous infusion and released partially intact or as transformation products. In this review, the studies on environmental occurrence, transformation, potential ecotoxicity, and possible treatment for the removal of platinum cytostatic compounds are revised. The analysis of the literature highlighted the generally low total platinum concentration values (from a few tens of ng L−1 to a few hundred μg L−1) found in hospital effluents. Additionally, several studies highlighted how hospitals are sources of a minor fraction of the total Pt CDs found in the environment due to the slow excretion rate which is longer than the usual treatment durations. Only some data about the impact of the exposure to low levels of Pt CDs on the health of flora and fauna are present in literature. In some cases, adverse effects have been shown to occur in living organisms, even at low concentrations. Further ecotoxicity data are needed to support or exclude their chronic effects on the ecosystem. Finally, fundamental understanding is required on the platinum drugs removal by MBR, AOPs, technologies, and adsorption.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an important polysaccharide synthesized by some bacterial species under specific culture conditions, which presents several remarkable features such as microporosity, high water holding capacity, good mechanical properties and good biocompatibility, making it a potential biomaterial for medical applications. Since its discovery, BC has been used for wound dressing, drug delivery, artificial blood vessels, bone tissue engineering, and so forth. Additionally, BC can be simply manipulated to form its derivatives or composites with enhanced physicochemical and functional properties. Several polymers, carbon-based nanomaterials, and metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been introduced into BC by ex situ and in situ methods to design hybrid materials with enhanced functional properties. This review provides comprehensive knowledge and highlights recent advances in BC production strategies, its structural features, various in situ and ex situ modification techniques, and its potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Engineering biological processes has become a standard approach to produce various commercially valuable chemicals, therapeutics, and biomaterials. Among these products, bacterial cellulose represents major advances to biomedical and healthcare applications. In comparison to properties of plant cellulose, bacterial cellulose (BC) shows distinctive characteristics such as a high purity, high water retention, and biocompatibility. However, low product yield and extensive cultivation times have been the main challenges in the large-scale production of BC. For decades, studies focused on optimization of cellulose production through modification of culturing strategies and conditions. With an increasing demand for BC, researchers are now exploring to improve BC production and functionality at different categories: genetic, bioprocess, and product levels as well as model driven approaches targeting each of these categories. This comprehensive review discusses the progress in BC platforms categorizing the most recent advancements under different research focuses and provides systematic understanding of the progress in BC biosynthesis. The aim of this review is to present the potential of ‘modern genetic engineering tools’ and ‘model-driven approaches’ on improving the yield of BC, altering the properties, and adding new functionality. We also provide insights for the future perspectives and potential approaches to promote BC use in biomedical applications.

Abstract
The present work reports a versatile approach to the manufacture of chitosan beads with tunable pore size and targeted properties. To achieve this, the as prepared chitosan beads were allowed to interact with aqueous solutions of two types of oxidized pullulan derivatives. Depending on the functional groups present on the pullulan structure after oxidation, i.e., carboxyl or aldehyde, covalent or physical hybrid hydrogels could be prepared. The attachment of oxidized pullulan onto chitosan structure was checked by FTIR, RMN, XPS and thermal analysis. The morphology of the hybrid structures was evaluated by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). After structural evaluations, all the prepared hydrogels were characterized by means of dynamic vapor sorption and swelling degree studies, exhibiting a Case-II swelling mechanism. Drug model compounds, such as ibuprofen, bacitracin and neomycin were used for drug loading and release assays, proving high drug loading capacity and tunable release behavior. Drug loaded beads exhibited antibacterial activity and hemocompatibility experiments indicated no coagulation phenomena.

Biodegradable polyelectrolyte complexes of chitosan and partially crosslinked dextran phosphate with potential for biomedical applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 169:500-512.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are spontaneously formed by mixing oppositely charged polyelectrolyte solutions without the use of organic solvents and chemical crosslinkers are great candidate carriers for drug delivery. Herein, biodegradable antimicrobial polyelectrolyte complexes of chitosan - dextran phosphate (DPCS) containing cefazolin were developed and characterized in order to assess their suitability for biomedical applications. For this purpose, the simultaneous partial crosslinking and functionalization of dextran with phosphoric acid in a urea melt under reduced pressure were studied. The functional group content and molecular weight of dextran phosphate were varied in order to establish their influence on gel fraction yield, thermal properties and morphologies of the hydrogels. The stoichiometric PECs of DPCS showed good in vitro biocompatibility, pH sensitivity and biodegradability depending on the hydrogel composition. The release of drug from cefazolin-loaded DPCS hydrogels was through non-Fickian diffusion and displayed long sustained-release time. The drug-loaded hydrogels showed antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus. The tunable degradation behavior under physiological conditions in combination with biocompatibility of the pristine DPCS and high antibacterial efficacy drug-loaded hydrogels may render the presented materials interesting for biomedical applications.
