Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of death globally, and conventional treatments have limited efficacy with severe side effects. The use of nanotechnology has the potential to reduce the side effects of drugs by creating efficient and controlled anticancer drug delivery systems. Nanoparticles (NPs) used as drug carriers offer several advantages, including enhanced drug protection, biodistribution, selectivity and, pharmacokinetics. Therefore, this review is devoted to various organic (lipid, polymeric) as well as inorganic nanoparticles based on different building units and providing a wide range of potent anticancer drug delivery systems. Within these nanoparticulate systems, chitosan (CS)-based NPs are discussed with particular emphasis due to the unique properties of CS and its derivatives including non-toxicity, biodegradability, mucoadhesivity, and tunable physico-chemical as well as biological properties allowing their alteration to specifically target cancer cells. In the context of streamlining the nanoparticulate drug delivery systems (DDS), innovative nanoplatform-based cancer therapy pathways involving passive and active targeting as well as stimuli-responsive DDS enhancing overall orthogonality of developed NP-DDS towards the target are included. The most up-to-date information on delivering anti-cancer drugs using modern dosage forms based on various nanoparticulate systems and, specifically, CSNPs, are summarised and evaluated concerning their benefits, limitations, and advanced applications.

Abstract
In this study, three types of dodecyl chitosan quaternary ammonium salts, each with different spacer groups were synthesized. These chitosan derivatives are N',N'-dimethyl-N'-dodecyl-ammonium chloride-N-amino-acetyl chitosan (DMDAC), N'-dodecyl-N-isonicotinyl chitosan chloride (DINCC) and N',N'-dimethyl-N'-dodecyl-ammonium chloride-N-benzoyl chitosan (DMDBC). The synthesized products were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectrometers, nuclear magnetic resonance, thermogravimetric analysis, and elemental analysis. The antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were investigated. The experimental results indicated that the introduction of hydrophobic groups of spacer groups could enhance the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of the chitosan derivatives. The antibacterial rates of the chitosan derivatives were over 90 % for both E. coli and S. aureus at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. The chitosan derivatives removed >50 % of the mature biofilm of E. coli and over 90 % of the mature biofilm of S. aureus at a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL. Further, the synthesized chitosan derivatives were determined to be non-toxic to L929 cells. Among them, DMDBC exhibited the most promising overall performance and show potential for wide-ranging applications in food preservation, disinfectants, medical, and other fields.

Abstract
Dental caries (DC) is one of the most common oral diseases and is mainly caused by Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). The use of antibiotics against S. mutans usually has side effects, including developing resistance. N-2-Hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (N-2-HACC), a natural product, has great potential utility in antibacterial agents owing to its low toxicity and good biocompatibility. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to explore the antimicrobial activity of N-2-HACC against S. mutans through the permeability of the cell wall, integrity of cell membrane, protein and nucleic acid synthesis, respiratory metabolism, and biofilm formation. Our results confirmed that the MIC of N-2-HACC against S. mutans was 0.625 mg/mL with a 90.01 ± 1.54% inhibition rate. SEM observed the formation of cavities on the surface of S. mutans after 12 h N-2-HACC treatment. The level of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity was higher in the N-2-HACC treatment group than in the control group, indicating that N-2-HACC can improve the permeability of the cell wall. Also, N-2-HACC treatment can destroy the cell membrane of S. mutans by increasing conductivity and absorbance at 260 nm, decreasing cell metabolic activity, and enhancing the fluorescence at 488 nm. Respiratory metabolism revealed that the activities of the Na+-K+-ATP enzyme, pyruvate kinase (PK), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were decreased after N-2-HACC treatment, revealing that N-2-HACC can inhibit glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) of S. mutans. Moreover, N-2-HACC can also decrease the contents of the nucleic acid and solution protein of S. mutans, interfere with biofilm formation, and decrease the mRNA expression level of biofilm formation-related genes. Therefore, these results verify that N-2-HACC has strong antibacterial activity against S. mutans, acting via cell membrane integrity damage, increasing the permeability of cell walls, interfering with bacterial protein and nucleic acid synthesis, perturbing glycolysis and the TCA cycle, and inhibiting biofilm formation. It is suggested that N-2-HACC may represent a new potential synthetically modified antibacterial material against S. mutans.

Abstract
Candida species comprise a ubiquitous pathogenic fungal genus responsible for causing candidiasis. They are one of the primary causatives of several mucosal and systemic infections in humans and can survive in various environments. In this study, we investigated the antifungal, anti-biofilm, and anti-hyphal effects of six N-substituted phthalimides against three Candida species. Of the derivatives, N-butylphthalimide (NBP) was the most potent, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 100 µg/ml and which dose-dependently inhibited biofilm at sub-inhibitory concentrations (10-50 µg/ml) in both the fluconazole-resistant and fluconazole-sensitive Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis. NBP also effectively inhibited biofilm formation in other pathogens including uropathogenic Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, along with the polymicrobial biofilms of S. epidermidis and C. albicans. NBP markedly inhibited the hyphal formation and cell aggregation of C. albicans and altered its colony morphology in a dose-dependent manner. Gene expression analysis showed that NBP significantly downregulated the expression of important hyphal- and biofilm-associated genes, i.e., ECE1, HWP1, and UME6, upon treatment. NBP also exhibited mild toxicity at concentrations ranging from 2 to 20 µg/ml in a nematode model. Therefore, this study suggests that NBP has anti-biofilm and antifungal potential against various Candida strains.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traditional pesticides have poor-water solubility, high toxicity and low bioavailability. Therefore, it is of great significance for the sustainable and healthy development of the pesticide industry to develop efficient and ecofriendly new chemical pesticide products and formulations. OBJECTIVES This study aims to synthesize a series of derivatives based on chalcone structure (HPPO), and then use the amphiphilic and self-assembly characteristics of N-succinyl-chitosan (NSCS) to prepare HPPO@NSCS nanoparticles (HPPO@NSCS NPs) in order to realize the green application of HPPO, and investigate the antifungal activity and mechanisms of HPPO@NSCS NPs. METHODS NSCS was synthesized by structural modification using chitosan as the carrier. Based on its amphiphilic and self-assembly characteristics, HPPO-16@NSCS NPs were reasonably prepared by combining with active small molecule HPPO-16. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of NSCS and HPPO-16@NSCS NPs. The inhibitory activity of nanopesticides against Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) was tested in vivo and in vitro. The mechanism of antifungal action was discussed from the observation of pathogen morphology, fluorescence staining and enzyme activity determination. RESULTS 28 small molecules based on chalcone structure (HPPO-1-28), NSCS and HPPO-16@NSCS were successfully synthesized. The application of HPPO-16@NSCS could impair the development, cell structure, cellular energy utilization, and metabolism pathways of the fungi. The protective effects of HPPO-16@NSCS NPs on rice leaves and leaf sheaths were 80.9 and 76.1 %, respectively, which were better than those of azoxystrobin. CONCLUSION This study reveals that these simple chalcone derivatives can be further explored as viable antibacterial alternatives and NSCS as a novel pesticide matrix can be used for the delivery of more insoluble pesticides.

Abstract
Oral diseases are prevalent but challenging diseases owing to the highly movable and wet, microbial and inflammatory environment. Polymeric materials are regarded as one of the most promising biomaterials due to their good compatibility, facile preparation, and flexible design to obtain multifunctionality. Therefore, a variety of strategies have been employed to develop materials with improved therapeutic efficacy by overcoming physicobiological barriers in oral diseases. In this review, we summarize the design strategies of polymeric biomaterials for the treatment of oral diseases. First, we present the unique oral environment including highly movable and wet, microbial and inflammatory environment, which hinders the effective treatment of oral diseases. Second, a series of strategies for designing polymeric materials towards such a unique oral environment are highlighted. For example, multifunctional polymeric materials are armed with wet-adhesive, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory functions through advanced chemistry and nanotechnology to effectively treat oral diseases. These are achieved by designing wet-adhesive polymers modified with hydroxy, amine, quinone, and aldehyde groups to provide strong wet-adhesion through hydrogen and covalent bonding, and electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, by developing antimicrobial polymers including cationic polymers, antimicrobial peptides, and antibiotic-conjugated polymers, and by synthesizing anti-inflammatory polymers with phenolic hydroxy and cysteine groups that function as immunomodulators and electron donors to reactive oxygen species to reduce inflammation. Third, various delivery systems with strong wet-adhesion and enhanced mucosa and biofilm penetration capabilities, such as nanoparticles, hydrogels, patches, and microneedles, are constructed for delivery of antibiotics, immunomodulators, and antioxidants to achieve therapeutic efficacy. Finally, we provide insights into challenges and future development of polymeric materials for oral diseases with promise for clinical translation.

Abstract
Since they are difficult and sometimes impossible to treat, infections sustained by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, emerging especially in nosocomial environments, are an increasing global public health concern, translating into high mortality and healthcare costs. In addition to having acquired intrinsic abilities to resist available antibiotic treatments, MDR bacteria can transmit genetic material encoding for resistance to non-mutated bacteria, thus strongly decreasing the number of available effective antibiotics. Moreover, several pathogens develop resistance by forming biofilms (BFs), a safe and antibiotic-resistant home for microorganisms. BFs are made of well-organized bacterial communities, encased and protected in a self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix, which impedes antibiotics' ability to reach bacteria, thus causing them to lose efficacy. By adhering to living or abiotic surfaces in healthcare settings, especially in intensive care units where immunocompromised older patients with several comorbidities are hospitalized BFs cause the onset of difficult-to-eradicate infections. In this context, recent studies have demonstrated that quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), acting as membrane disruptors and initially with a low tendency to develop resistance, have demonstrated anti-BF potentialities. However, a paucity of innovation in this space has driven the emergence of QAC resistance. More recently, quaternary phosphonium salts (QPSs), including tri-phenyl alkyl phosphonium derivatives, achievable by easy one-step reactions and well known as intermediates of the Wittig reaction, have shown promising anti-BF effects in vitro. Here, after an overview of pathogen resistance, BFs, and QACs, we have reviewed the QPSs developed and assayed to this end, so far. Finally, the synthetic strategies used to prepare QPSs have also been provided and discussed to spur the synthesis of novel compounds of this class. We think that the extension of the knowledge about these materials by this review could be a successful approach to finding effective weapons for treating chronic infections and device-associated diseases sustained by BF-producing MDR bacteria.

Abstract
A chitosan derivative (Pyr-CS-HTAP) having pyrene (Pyr) and N-[(2-hydroxyl-3-trimethylammonium)] propyl (HTAP) units conjugated at C6 and C2 positions, respectively, was synthesized and characterized. Dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy revealed that Pyr-CS-HTAP self-assembled into spherical nanoparticles with a hydrodynamic diameter of 211 ± 5 nm and a ζ-potential of +49 mV. The successful binding of Pyr-CS-HTAP with nucleic acid was ascertained by fluorescence resonance energy-transfer analysis and gel electrophoresis. Pyr-CS-HTAP facilitated the cellular uptake of nucleic acid up to 99%. Co-localization analysis using fluorescence microscopy revealed the endosomal escape of the Pyr-CS-HTAP/nucleic acid complexes and the successful release of the nucleic acid cargoes from the polyplexes into the nucleus. It is strongly believed that Pyr-CS-HTAP can potentially be developed into a fluorescently trackable gene delivery system in the future.

Abstract
Biofilm infections are associated with most human bacterial infections and are prone to bacterial multidrug resistance. There is an urgent need to develop an alternative approach to antibacterial and antibiofilm agents. Herein, two positively charged semiconductor conjugated polymer nanoparticles (SPPD and SPND) were prepared for additive antibacterial and antibiofilm activities with the aid of positive charge and photothermal therapy (PTT). The positive charge of SPPD and SPND was helpful in adhering to the surface of bacteria. With an 808 nm laser irradiation, the photothermal activity of SPPD and SPND could be effectively transferred to bacteria and biofilms. Under the additive effect of positive charge and PTT, the inhibition rate of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) treated with SPPD and SPND (40 μg/mL) could reach more than 99.2%, and the antibacterial activities of SPPD and SPND against S. aureus biofilms were 93.5 and 95.8%. SPPD presented better biocompatibility than SPND and exhibited good antibiofilm properties in biofilm-infected mice. Overall, this additive treatment strategy of positive charge and PTT provided an optional approach to combat biofilms.

Abstract
In this study, a series of novel hydrophobic/hydrophilic hybrid (HHH) coatings with the feature of preventing the fouling phenomenon was fabricated based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), as matrix and two hydrophilic polymers: chitosan and sodium polyacrylate, as dispersed phases. Antibacterial activity, pseudo-barnacle adhesion strength, surface free energy, water contact angle, and water absorption were performed for all samples. Evaluating field immersion of the samples was performed in the natural seawater. The results showed that the dispersed phase containing PDMS coatings showed simultaneously both of antibacterial activity and foul release behavior. Among the samples, the PCs4 coating containing 4 wt% Cs indicated the lowest pseudo barnacle adhesion strength (0.04 MPa), the lowest surface free energy (18.94 mN/m), the highest water contact angle (116.05°), and the percentage of fouling organisms 9.8 % after 30 days immersion. The HHH coatings can be considered as novel eco-friendly antifouling/foul release coatings for aquaculture applications.

Abstract
Persistent bacterial infection caused by biofilms is one of the most serious problems that threatened human health. The development of antibacterial agents remains a challenge to penetrate biofilm and effectively treat the underlying bacterial infection. In the current study, chitosan-based nanogels were developed for encapsulating the Tanshinone IIA (TA) to enhance the antibacterial and anti-biofilm efficacy against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). The as-prepared nanogels (TA@CS) displayed excellent encapsulation efficiency (91.41 ± 0.11 %), uniform particle sizes (393.97 ± 13.92 nm), and enhanced positive potential (42.27 ± 1.25 mV). After being coated with CS, the stability of TA under light and other harsh environments was greatly improved. In addition, TA@CS displayed pH responsiveness, allowing it to selectively release more TA in acidic conditions. Furthermore, the positively charged TA@CS were equipped to target negatively charged biofilm surfaces and efficiently penetrate through biofilm barriers, making it promising for remarkable anti-biofilm activity. More importantly, when TA was encapsulated into CS nanogels, the antibacterial activity of TA was enhanced at least 4-fold. Meanwhile, TA@CS inhibited 72 % of biofilm formation at 500 μg/mL. The results demonstrated that the nanogels constituted CS and TA had antibacterial/anti-biofilm properties with synergistic enhanced effects, which will benefit pharmaceutical, food, and other fields.

Abstract
In this work, chemical modification of chitosan using cationic thiazolium groups was investigated with the aim to improve water solubility and antimicrobial properties of chitosan. Enzymatic synthesis and ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) chemistry were employed to synthesize and attach to chitosan through the amine groups the molecule bearing thiazolium moieties, quaternized 4-(2-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl) ethoxy)-4-oxobutanoic acid (MTBAQ). On the basis of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR), around 95 % of the available amine groups of chitosan (of 25 % degree of acetylation) reacted. The resulting derivative was water soluble at physiological pH and exhibit excellent antimicrobial activity against Listeria innocua, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin Resistant S. aureus Gram-positive bacteria (MIC = 8-32 μg/ mL), whereas its efficiency decreases against fungi Candida albicans and Eschericia coli Gram-negative bacterium. Subsequently, the thiazolium chitosan derivative was employed as antimicrobial component (up to 7 wt%) of chitosan/glycerol based films. The incorporation of the chitosan derivative does not modify significantly the characteristics of the film in terms of thermal and mechanical properties, while enhances considerably the antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
Amino functionalized chitosan has attracted much attention because of the fascinated bioactivities. In our study, a novel water-soluble amino functionalized chitosan bearing free amino group at C-2 and quaternary ammonium moiety contained free amino group at C-6 (5c) was prepared by a four-step method. The structural characterization was identified by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The water-solubility and antioxidant activities against hydroxyl, DPPH radicals and reducing power were estimated. The results displayed that amino functionalized chitosan 5c exhibited improved water-solubility and antioxidant ability, especially its DPPH scavenging rate reached about 90 % at the minimum test concentration of 0.10 mg/mL. Besides, antibacterial tests showed that amino functional chitosan 5c had best antibacterial activities, which indicated that amino group made main contribution to the enhanced bioactivities. In short, the novel chitosan 5c possessed enhanced water-solubility and excellent antioxidant and antibacterial activities, which could provide novel strategy for the development of antioxidant and antibacterial agents in biomedicine and food fields.

Abstract
The surface structure and topography of biomaterials play a crucial role in directing cell behaviors and fates. Meanwhile, asymmetric dressings that mimic the natural skin structure have been identified as an effective strategy for enhancing wound healing. Inspired by the skin structure and the superhydrophobic structure of the lotus leaf, an asymmetric composite dressing was obtained by constructing an asymmetric structure and wettability surface modification on both sides of the sponge based on electrospinning. Among them, the collagen and quaternized chitosan sponge was fabricated by freeze-drying, followed by an aligned poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/gelatin nanofiber hydrophilic inner layer and hierarchical micronanostructure PCL/polystyrene microsphere highly hydrophobic outer layer constructed on each side of the sponge. The proposed asymmetric composite dressing combines topological morphology with the material's properties to effectively prevent bacterial colonization/infection and promote wound healing by directing cellular behavior. In vitro experimental results confirmed that the aligned nanofiber inner layer effectively promotes cell adhesion, proliferation, directed cell growth, and migration. Meanwhile, the sponge has good water absorption and antibacterial properties, while the biomimetic hydrophobic outer layer exhibits strong mechanical properties and resistance to bacterial adhesion. In vivo results showed that the composite dressing can reduce inflammatory response, prevent infection, accelerate angiogenesis and epithelial regeneration, and significantly accelerate the healing of severe burns. Thus, the proposed bionic asymmetric dressing is expected to be a promising candidate for severe burn wound healing.

Abstract
The balance or dysbiosis of the microbial community is a major factor in maintaining human health or causing disease. The unique microenvironment of the oral cavity provides optimal conditions for colonization and proliferation of microbiota, regulated through complex biological signaling systems and interactions with the host. Once the oral microbiota is out of balance, microorganisms produce virulence factors and metabolites, which will cause dental caries, periodontal disease, etc. Microbial metabolism and host immune response change the local microenvironment in turn and further promote the excessive proliferation of dominant microbes in dysbiosis. As the product of interdisciplinary development of materials science, stomatology, and biomedical engineering, oral biomaterials are playing an increasingly important role in regulating the balance of the oral microbiome and treating oral diseases. In this perspective, we discuss the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of oral microbiota dysbiosis and introduce emerging materials focusing on oral microbiota dysbiosis in recent years, including inorganic materials, organic materials, and some biomolecules. In addition, the limitations of the current study and possible research trends are also summarized. It is hoped that this review can provide reference and enlightenment for subsequent research on effective treatment strategies for diseases related to oral microbiota dysbiosis.

Enhanced Eradication of Enterococcus faecalis Biofilms by Quaternized Chitosan-Coated Upconversion Nanoparticles for Photodynamic Therapy in Persistent Endodontic Infections. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:909492. [PMID: 35711785 PMCID: PMC9195144 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.909492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Due to the persistent presence of Enterococcus faecalis biofilms in apical root canals, persistent endodontic infections (PEIs) have always been an intractable disease to solve. The conventional root canal disinfectants (e.g., calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine) are arduous to scavenge the stubborn infection. With the progress of nanomedicine in the biomedical field, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is emerging as a prospective anti-infective therapy for PEIs. Herein, quaternized chitosan (QCh) modified upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP)@SiO2/methylene blue (MB) are developed with enhanced antibacterial/biofilm performance for aPDT in PEIs. QCh is coated on the UCNP@SiO2/MB by testing the changes in diameter, chemical functional group, and charge. Interestingly, QCh also increases the conversion efficiency of UCNP to generate more reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, the prepared UCNP@SiO2/MB@QCh exhibits highly effective antibacterial activity against free E. faecalis and related biofilm in vitro and extracted teeth. Importantly, the additional QCh with positive charges enhance UCNP@SiO2/MB@QCh contact with E. faecalis (negative charges) through electrostatic interaction. Then, UCNP@SiO2/MB@QCh could stick close to the E. faecalis and generate ROS under the irradiation by a 980 nm laser. The in vitro cellular test shows that UCNP@SiO2/MB@QCh has acceptable cytocompatibility. Thus, UCNP@SiO2/MB@QCh could offer a novel strategy for the potential aPDT clinical applications in the treatment of PEIs.

[PMID: 34883601 PMCID: PMC8659217 DOI: 10.3390/polym13234097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 11/13/2021] [Accepted: 11/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Herein, a novel chitosan derivative nanoparticle was proposed to function as a delivery carrier. First of all, an improvement was made to the way N-2-hydroxypropyl trimcthyl ammonium chloride chitosan (N-2-HACC) was synthesized. Moreover, the solution to one-step synthesis of N-2-HACC from chitosan (CS) was developed. Different from the previous report, the synthesis process was simplified, and there was a reduction in the amount of 2,3-epoxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (EPTAC) used. With its excellent water solubility maintained, the relatively low degree of substitution was controlled to facilitate the cross-linking reaction. The results obtained from 1H-NMR, FTIR spectroscopy, and XRD indicated a smooth EPTAC onto CS for the formation of N-2-HACC with 59.33% the degree of substitution (DS). According to our results, N-2-HACC could be dissolved in various organic solvents, deionized water, 1% acetic acid aqueous solution, and others at room temperature. Finally, a novel chitosan nanoparticle material was prepared using the self-assembly method with β-glycerophosphate sodium (β-GC), with excellent immune properties achieved, thus providing a new strategy for chitosan self-assembled nanoparticles.
