Abstract
Recently, oral deliverable strategies of multiple nutraceuticals for ulcerative colitis (UC) mitigation have attracted increasing attention. This study aimed to fabricate facile oral assemblies loaded with egg-white-derived peptides (EWDP) and curcumin based on carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and an γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (MOF). Herein, outer CMCS could coassemble with EWDP (both nutraceuticals and building blocks) into cobweb-like fibrils to promote bridging with inner MOF via coordinative noncovalent interactions (hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, and electrostatic interaction). Compared with conventional γ-cyclodextrin/MOF-based composites, the above coassembly could also endow the biocompatible assemblies with superior nanoscale colloidal properties, processing applicability (curcumin storage stability, bioaccessibility, and aqueous solubility), and bioactivity. Moreover, the oral synergism of EWDP and curcumin (initially nonsynergistic) for UC mitigation was achieved by alleviating inflammatory damage and gut microbiota imbalance. Overall, the novel assemblies could be a promising amplifier and platform to facilitate oral formulations of various nutraceuticals for food processing and UC relief.

An Effective and Promising Strategy for Plant Protection: Synthesis of L-Carvone-Based Thiazolinone-Hydrazone/Nanochitosan Complexes with Antifungal Activity and Sustained Releasing Performance. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4595. [PMID: 38731815 PMCID: PMC11083649 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25094595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of novel natural product-derived nano-pesticide systems with loading capacity and sustained releasing performance of bioactive compounds is considered an effective and promising plant protection strategy. In this work, 25 L-carvone-based thiazolinone-hydrazone compounds 4a~4y were synthesized by the multi-step modification of L-carvone and structurally confirmed. Compound 4h was found to show favorable and broad-spectrum antifungal activity through the in vitro antifungal activity evaluation of compounds 4a~4y against eight phytopathogenic fungi. Thus, it could serve as a leading compound for new antifungal agents in agriculture. Moreover, the L-carvone-based nanochitosan carrier 7 bearing the 1,3,4-thiadiazole-amide group was rationally designed for the loading and sustained releasing applications of compound 4h, synthesized, and characterized. It was proven that carrier 7 had good thermal stability below 200 °C, dispersed well in the aqueous phase to form numerous nanoparticles with a size of~20 nm, and exhibited an unconsolidated and multi-aperture micro-structure. Finally, L-carvone-based thiazolinone-hydrazone/nanochitosan complexes were fabricated and investigated for their sustained releasing behaviors. Among them, complex 7/4h-2 with a well-distributed, compact, and columnar micro-structure displayed the highest encapsulation efficiency and desirable sustained releasing property for compound 4h and thus showed great potential as an antifungal nano-pesticide for further studies.

Specifically, we first provided a detailed introduction to the physicochemical characteristics and biological activities of natural marine biocomponents in their raw state. Furthermore, the assembly processes, potential functionalities of each building block, and a thorough evaluation of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of advanced marine biomaterial-based systems and their effects on molecular pathophysiological processes were fully elucidated. Finally, a list of unresolved issues and pivotal challenges of marine-derived biomaterials applications, such as standardized distinction of raw materials, long-term biosafety in vivo, the feasibility of scale-up, etc., was presented. This review is expected to serve as a roadmap for fundamental research and facilitate the rational design of marine biomaterials for diverse emerging applications.

Abstract
Nanocarriers have been extensively developed in the biomedical field to enhance the treatment of various diseases. However, to effectively deliver therapeutic agents to desired target tissues and enhance their pharmacological activity, these nanocarriers must overcome biological barriers, such as mucus gel, skin, cornea, and blood-brain barriers. Polysaccharides possess qualities such as excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, unique biological properties, and good accessibility, making them ideal materials for constructing drug delivery carriers. Nanogels, as a novel drug delivery platform, consist of three-dimensional polymer networks at the nanoscale, offering a promising strategy for encapsulating different pharmaceutical agents, prolonging retention time, and enhancing penetration. These attractive properties offer great potential for the utilization of polysaccharide-based nanogels as drug delivery systems to overcome biological barriers. Hence, this review discusses the properties of various barriers and the associated constraints, followed by summarizing the most recent development of polysaccharide-based nanogels in drug delivery to overcome biological barriers. It is expected to provide inspiration and motivation for better design and development of polysaccharide-based drug delivery systems to enhance bioavailability and efficacy while minimizing side effects.

Abstract
In this study, nine chitosan derivatives containing aromatic five-membered heterocycles were prepared and the effects of different grafting methods on the biological activities of chitosan derivatives were investigated. The structures of all the compounds were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, while the antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial activities of the chitosan derivatives were tested. The experimental data suggested that the chitosan derivatives had outstanding inhibitory ability against Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cucumbrum, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. At the same time, some of the compounds showed strong scavenging ability against DPPH radical and superoxide radical. Cytotoxicity experiments have demonstrated that some chitosan derivatives are non-toxic to L929 cells. More importantly, compared to chitosan, these chitosan derivatives have good water solubility and can be used as potential polymers for antifungal and antibacterial biomaterials in agriculture.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) is a disease caused by genetic and environmental factors, and the main clinical manifestation is hyperglycemia. Currently, insulin injections are still the first-line treatment for diabetes. However, repeated injections may cause insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, and other serious side effects. Thus, it is imperative to develop new diabetes treatments. Protein-based diabetes drugs, such as fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21), have a longer-lasting glycemic modulating effect with high biosafety. However, the instability of these protein drugs limits their applications. In this study, we extract protein hypoglycemic drugs with oral and injectable functions. The FGF-21 analog (NA-FGF) was loaded into the chitosan derivative-based nanomaterials, N-2-Hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan/carboxymethyl chitosan (N-2-HACC/CMCS), to prepare NA-FGF-loaded N-2-HACC/CMCS microspheres (NA-FGF-N-2-HACC/CMCS MPs). It was well demonstrated that NA-FGF-N-2-HACC/CMCS MPs have great biocompatibility, biostability, and durable drug-release ability. In addition to injectable drug delivery, our prepared microspheres were highly advantageous for oral administration. The in vitro and in vivo experimental results suggested that NA-FGF-N-2-HACC/CMCS MPs could be used as a promising candidate and universal nano-delivery system for both oral and injectable hypoglycemic regulation.

Abstract
The oral route has long been recognized as the most preferred route for drug delivery as it offers high patient compliance and requires minimal expertise. Unlike small molecule drugs, the harsh environment of the gastrointestinal tract and low permeability across the intestinal epithelium make oral delivery extremely ineffective for macromolecules. Accordingly, delivery systems that are rationally constructed with suitable materials to overcome barriers to oral delivery are exceptionally promising. Among the most ideal materials are polysaccharides. Depending on the interaction between polysaccharides and proteins, the thermodynamic loading and release of proteins in the aqueous phase can be realized. Specific polysaccharides (dextran, chitosan, alginate, cellulose, etc.) endow systems with functional properties, including muco-adhesiveness, pH-responsiveness, and prevention of enzymatic degradation. Furthermore, multiple groups in polysaccharides can be modified, which gives them a variety of properties and enables them to suit specific needs. This review provides an overview of different types of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers based on different kinds of interaction forces and the influencing factors in the construction of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers. Strategies of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers to improve the bioavailability of orally administered proteins/peptides were described. Additionally, current restrictions and future trends of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers for oral delivery of proteins/peptides were also covered.

Abstract
Salmonella Typhi is an intracellular bacterium causing a variety of enteric diseases, being typhoid fever the most common. Current modalities for treating S. typhi infection are subjected to multi-drug resistance. Herein, a novel macrophage targeting approach was developed via coating bioinspired mannosylated preactivated hyaluronic acid (Man-PTHA) ligands on a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) loaded with the anti-bacterial drug ciprofloxacin (CIP). The shake flask method was used to determine the drug solubility in the different excipients (oil, surfactants and co-surfactants). Man-PTHA were characterized by physicochemical, in vitro, and in vivo parameters. The mean droplet size was 257 nm, with a PDI of 0.37 and zeta potential of -15 mV. In 72 h, 85 % of the drug was released in a sustained manner, and the entrapment efficiency was 95 %. Outstanding biocompatibility, mucoadhesion, muco-penetration, anti-bacterial action and hemocompatibility were observed. Intra-macrophage survival of S. typhi was minimal (1 %) with maximum nanoparticle uptake, as shown by their higher fluorescence intensity. Serum biochemistry evaluation showed no significant changes or toxicity, and histopathological evaluation confirmed the entero-protective nature of the bioinspired polymers. Overall, results confirm that Man-PTHA SNEDDS can be employed as novel and effective delivery systems for the therapeutic management of S. typhi infection.

Nanoparticles (NPs) used for oral administration have greatly improved drug bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Nevertheless, NPs are limited by biological barriers, such as gastrointestinal degradation, mucus barrier, and epithelial barrier. To solve these problems, we developed the PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs loaded with anti-inflammatory hydrophobic drug curcumin (CUR) (CUR@PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs) by self-assembled amphiphilic polymer, composed of the N-2-Hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (N-2-HACC), hydrophobic palmitic acid (PA), and cysteine (Cys). After oral administration, the CUR@PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs had good stability and sustained release under gastrointestinal conditions, followed by adhering to the intestine to achieve drug mucosal delivery. Additionally, the NPs could penetrate mucus and epithelial barriers to promote cellular uptake. The CUR@PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs could open tight junctions between cells for transepithelial transport while striking a balance between mucus interaction and diffusion through mucus. Notably, the CUR@PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs improved the oral bioavailability of CUR, which remarkably relieved colitis symptoms and promoted mucosal epithelial repair. Our findings proved that the CUR@PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs had excellent biocompatibility, could overcome mucus and epithelial barriers, and had significant application prospects for oral delivery of the hydrophobic drugs.

Abstract
The high expression of reduced glutathione (GSH) and low pH in tumor sites have encouraged new ideas for targeted drug release. The tumor microenvironment is a crucial target for studying the anti-tumor efficiency of photothermal therapy because the microenvironment plays a key role in cancer progression, local resistance, immune escaping, and metastasis. Herein, active mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin and functionalized with N,N'-bis(acryloyl)cystamine (BAC) and cross-linked carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) were used to induce simultaneous redox- and pH-sensitive activity to achieve photothermal enhanced synergistic chemotherapy. The inherent disulfide bonds of BAC were able to deplete glutathione, thus increasing the oxidative stress in tumor cells and enhancing the release of doxorubicin. Additionally, the imine bonds between CMC and BAC were stimulated and decomposed in the acidic tumor microenvironment, improving the efficiency of light conversion through exposure to polydopamine. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo investigations demonstrated that this nanocomposite exhibited improved selective doxorubicin release in conditions mimicking the tumor microenvironment and low toxicity towards non-cancerous tissues, suggesting there is high potential for the clinical translation of this synergistic chemo-photothermal therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) and its derivatives have been applied extensively in the biomedical field owing to advantageous characteristics including biodegradability, biocompatibility, antibacterial activity and adhesive properties. The low solubility of CS at physiological pH limits its use in systems requiring higher dissolving ability and a suitable drug release rate. Besides, CS can result in fast drug release because of its high swelling degree and rapid water absorption in aqueous media. As a water-soluble derivative of CS, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) has certain improved properties, rendering it a more suitable candidate for wound healing, drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. This review will focus on the antibacterial, anticancer and antitumor, antioxidant and antifungal bioactivities of CMC and the most recently described applications of CMC in wound healing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, bioimaging and cosmetics.

Abstract
Chitosan and its derivatives are widely used in vaccine adjuvants and delivery systems. Vaccine antigens encapsulated in or conjugated onto N-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan/N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs) induce strong cellular, humoral, and mucosal immune responses, but the mechanism of action is not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the molecular mechanism of composite NPs by upregulating the cGAS-STING signalling pathway to enhance the cellular immune response. We showed that the N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs could be taken up by RAW264.7 cells and produced high levels of IL-6, IL-12p40, and TNF-α. The N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs activated BMDCs, promoted Th1 responses, and enhanced the expression of cGAS, TBK1, IRF3, and STING, as further demonstrated by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Moreover, the NP-induced expression of I-IFNs, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in macrophages was closely related to cGAS-STING. These findings provide a reference for chitosan derivative nanomaterials as vaccine adjuvants and delivery systems and demonstrate that N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs can engage the STING-cGAS pathway to trigger the innate immune response.

Abstract
Nowadays, the most common approaches in the prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases are along with undeniable limitations. Thus, the ever-increasing need for using biocompatible natural materials and novel practical modalities is required. Applying biomaterials, such as chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs: FDA-approved long-chain polymer of N-acetyl-glucosamine and D-glucosamine for some pharmaceutical applications), can serve as an appropriate alternative to overcome these limitations. Recently, the biomedical applications of CS NPs have extensively been investigated. These NPs and their derivatives can not only prepare through different physical and chemical approaches but also modify with various molecules and bioactive materials. The potential properties of CS NPs, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, serum stability, solubility, non-immunogenicity, anti-inflammatory properties, appropriate pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and so forth, have made them excellent candidates for biomedical applications. Therefore, CS NPs have efficiently applied for various biomedical applications, like regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, biosensors for the detection of microorganisms, and drug delivery systems (DDS) for the suppression of diseases. These NPs possess a high level of biosafety. In summary, CS NPs have the potential ability for biomedical and clinical applications, and it would be remarkably beneficial to develop new generations of CS-based material for the future of medicine.

Abstract
In the times of dynamically developing regenerative medicine, more and more attention is focused on the use of natural polymers. This is due to their high biocompatibility and biodegradability without the production of toxic compounds, which means that they do not hurt humans and the natural environment. Chitosan and its derivatives are polymers made most often from the shells of crustaceans and are biodegradable and biocompatible. Some of them have antibacterial or metal-chelating properties. This review article presents the development of biomaterials based on chitosan and its derivatives used in regenerative medicine, such as a dressing or graft of soft tissues or bones. Various examples of preparations based on chitosan and its derivatives in the form of gels, films, and 3D structures and crosslinking products with another polymer are discussed herein. This article summarizes the latest advances in medicine with the use of biomaterials based on chitosan and its derivatives and provides perspectives on future research activities.

Abstract
Cell-targeted delivery is an advanced strategy which can effectively solve health problems. However, the presence of synthetic materials in delivery systems may trigger side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to develop cell-targeted delivery systems with excellent biosafety. Edible materials not only exhibit biosafety, but also can be used to construct cell-targeted delivery systems such as ligands, carriers, and nutraceuticals. Moreover, oral administration is the appropriate route for cell-targeted delivery systems constructed of edible materials (CDSEMs), which is the same as the pattern of food intake, resulting in good patient compliance. In this review, relevant studies of oral CDSEMs are collected to summarize the construction method, action mechanism, and health impact. The gastrointestinal stability of delivery systems can be improved by anti-digestible materials. The design of the surface structure, shape, and size of carrier is beneficial to overcoming the mucosal barrier. Additionally, some edible materials show dual functions of a ligand and carrier, which is conductive to simplifying the design of CDSEMs. This review can provide a better understanding and prospect for oral CDSEMs and promote their application in the health field.

Abstract
This is a report on the encapsulation amoxicillin (AMX) in the N-2-Hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (N-2-HACC) and N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) nanoparticles (NPs) for biomedical applications. The N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs have broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. In order to achieve sustained and slow drug release, improve drug transport efficiency and bioavailability, prolong drug residence time, and reduce pollution, we synthesized highly efficient, easily absorbed and rapidly degradable nano-formulation veterinary antibiotics in this study. The N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs were used for the encapsulation of AMX, and the cytocompatibility, in vitro release, in vivo drug release kinetics and antimicrobial activity of N-2-HACC/CMCS/AMX NPs were investigated. The NPs displayed a round shape and smooth surface, and the NPs allowed the sustained release of AMX at a much slower rate than that of non-coated AMX. The NPs exhibited excellent cytocompatibility and the antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, the NPs could store at 4 °C, -20 °C and 25 ± 5 °C for 30 d. These results suggested that the N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs could be availed as a candidate for drug delivery carrier to achieve sustained and slow release, improve bioavailability, prolong residence time at the target site, and reduce the dosage of drug.

Abstract
The immunogenicity and toxicity of N-2-Hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan/N, O-carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs) as a universal vaccine adjuvant/delivery system remains unclear. The present study indicated that the positively charged N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs showed a regular spherical morphology, with a particle size of 219 ± 13.72 nm, zeta potential of 37.28 ± 4.58 mV, had hemocompatibility and biodegradation. Acute toxicity, repeated dose toxicity, abnormal toxicity, muscle stimulation, whole body allergic reaction evaluation in vitro, and cytotoxicity in vivo confirmed N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs is safe and non-toxic. N-2-HACC/OVA/CMCS NPs were prepared to evaluate the immunogenicity, which showed a particle size of 248.1 ± 15.53 nm, zeta potential of 17.24 ± 1.28 mV, encapsulation efficiency of 92.43 ± 0.96 %, and loading capacity of 42.97 ± 0.07 %. Oral or intramuscular route with the N-2-HACC/OVA/CMCS NPs in mice not only induced higher IgG, IgG1, IgG2a, and sIgA antibody titers, but also significantly produced higher levels of IL-6, IL-4, IFN-γ, and TNF-α, demonstrating that the N-2-HACC/OVA/CMCS NPs enhance humoral, cellular, and mucosal immune responses. Our results not only support the N-2-HACC/CMCS NPs to be a safe and potential universal nano adjuvant/delivery system in vaccine development, especially mucosal vaccines, but also rich the database knowledge of adjuvant/delivery systems, and provide new direction to introduce more licensed adjuvants.

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.
