Abstract
Quercetin (QRC) is a bioflavonoid with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer activities, yet QRC poor bioavailability has hampered its clinical implementation. The aim of the current work was to harness novasomes (NOVs), free fatty acid enriched vesicles, as a novel nano-cargo for felicitous QRC delivery with subsequent functionalization with selenium (SeNOVs), to extend the systemic bio-fate of NOVs and potentiate QRC anticancer efficacy through the synergy with selenium. QRC-NOVs were primed embedding oleic acid, Brij 35, and cholesterol adopting thin-film hydration technique according to Box–Behnken design. Employing Design-Expert® software, the impact of formulation variables on NOVs physicochemical characteristics besides the optimum formulation election were explored. Based on the optimal NOVs formulation, QRC-SeNOVs were assembled via electrostatic complexation/in situ reduction method. The MTT cytotoxicity assay of the uncoated, and coated nanovectors versus crude QRC was investigated in human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells. The in vivo pharmacokinetic and biodistribution studies after intravenous administrations of technetium-99m (99mTc)-labeled QRC-NOVs, QRC-SeNOVs, and QRC-solution were scrutinized in Ehrlich tumor-bearing mice. QRC-NOVs and QRC-SeNOVs disclosed entrapment efficiency of 67.21 and 70.85%, vesicle size of 107.29 and 129.16 nm, ζ potential of −34.71 and −43.25 mV, and accumulatively released 43.26 and 31.30% QRC within 24 h, respectively. Additionally, QRC-SeNOVs manifested a far lower IC50 of 5.56 μg/mL on RD cells than that of QRC-NOVs (17.63 μg/mL) and crude QRC (38.71 μg/mL). Moreover, the biodistribution study elicited higher preferential uptake of 99mTc-QRC-SeNOVs within the tumorous tissues by 1.73- and 5.67-fold as compared to 99mTc-QRC-NOVs and 99mTc-QRC-solution, respectively. Furthermore, the relative uptake efficiency of 99mTc-QRC-SeNOVs was 5.78, the concentration efficiency was 4.74 and the drug-targeting efficiency was 3.21. Hence, the engineered QRC-SeNOVs could confer an auspicious hybrid nanoparadigm for QRC delivery with fine-tuned pharmacokinetics, and synergized antitumor traits.

Abstract
Background Quercetin (QT) as a bioactive flavonoid has a potential therapeutic activity for numerous neuronal injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the low absorption rate of QT, especially through the blood-brain barrier, restricts its bioactivity in the body. The current research took the advantage of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to enhance the bioavailability of quercetin. Methods Quercetin conjugated with SPIONs was prepared by means of nanoprecipitation method and was characterized by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, and Fourier transformed infrared spectrometer analyses. Wistar male rats were orally fed by gavage with QT and QT-SPION at 50 and 100 mg/kg daily doses for 7 days. Using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, biodistribution of QT was evaluated in plasma and brain tissue. Results The outcomes of this research revealed a higher concentration in the plasma and brain of the rats fed with QT-SPION in comparison to free QT. Conclusion The results of this study confirm that SPION as a targeted drug delivery system enhances the bioavailability of quercetin in the brain about ten folds higher than free quercetin and could be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
In this paper, 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT)-loaded poly (n-butyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles (HCPT-PBCA-NPs) co-modified with polysorbate 80, soybean phospholipids, and polyethylene glycol (100) monostearate were successfully prepared via miniemulsion polymerization, and were characterized for particle size, morphology, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency (EE) and drug loading capacity (DL). The chemical structure of HCPT-PBCA-NPs and the state of HCPT in the PBCA-NPs were investigated by DSC, FTIR and 1H NMR. Additionally, drug release, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake capacity, cellular uptake mechanism, and in vivo behavior of NPs were investigated as well. The particles were 92.7nm in size with a high EE of 94.24%. FTIR, 1H NMR, and DSC demonstrated complete polymerization of BCA monomers and the drug was in a molecular or amorphous form inside the NPs. In vitro release of the drug from HCPT-PBCA-NPs exhibited sustained-release and less than 60% of HCPT was released from the NPs within 24h of dialysis. Cellular uptake study displayed that Caco-2 cell uptake of NPs was governed by active endocytosis, clathrin- and caveolin-mediated process, and increased with the increase of the NPs concentration and the time. The pharmacokinetic study in rats showed that encapsulation of HCPT into PBCA-NPs increased the Cmax and AUC0-t about 6.52 and 7.56 times, respectively, in comparison with the HCPT suspension. It was concluded that HCPT loaded PBCA-NPs prepared by miniemulsion polymerization could be promising in oral drug delivery.

Abstract
With the aim to enhance dissolution rate and bioavailability of paeonol, paeonol-loaded poly(butyl-2-cyanoacrylate) nanocapsules (Pae@PNCs) were prepared by interfacial spontaneous polymerization for the first time. Herein, a rotatable central composite design (RCCD) with three-factor five-level was applied to evaluate the optimization experiments. To the maximum percentage encapsulation efficiency (EE%) and minimum particle size (nm) of the Pae@PNCs, a quadratic polynomial model was generated to predict and evaluate the independent variables with respect to the dependent variables. RSM model goodness fitting were confirmed by the ANOVA Table (P<0.05) through variance analysis, which predicted values of EE (%) and particle size (R2 and adjusted R2 were close to 1, respectively) in good agreement with experimental values. By solving the regression equation and analyzing the response surface, three-dimensional model graphs and plots, the optimal result for the preparation of Pae@PNCs were found to be: pH (2.34), Poloxamer F-68 (0.80% m/v) and ethyl acetate/α-BCA ratio (16.67 v/v) for the highest EE% (73.58±2.76%) and the smallest particle size (42.06±1.20nm). The release profiles and antibacterial activity in vitro from the optimal Pae@PNCs were performed. The results indicated that it has slow and well-controlled release, and has strong antibacterial activity in vitro than paeonol. This understanding can help to predict the conditions of optimization of poly(butyl-2-cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles formation and to improve paeonol bioavailability and pharmacological properties.

Abstract
The effect of ethanol or acetone, as oil phase solvents, upon the form of paeonol-loaded poly(butyl-2-cyanoacrylate) encapsulated nanocapsules (Pae@PNCs) by interfacial spontaneously polymerization were investigated. Pae@PNCs characterizations including morphology, radius distribution, polydispersity index (PDI), particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency (EE%), drug loading (DL%) and in vitro paeonol release kinetics were evaluated. Results show that 100% acetone have a significant effect on forming nanocapsules, which showed the smaller size (168.3 ± 6.76 nm) under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and one radius distribution by the particle size analyser. The data showed that using 100% acetone to prepare Pae@PNCs was leading to smaller particle size and lower polydispersity index (PDI), higher zeta potential, better EE (%) and perfect DL (%), which is linear decrease in radius (r2 = 0.939) and PDI (r2 = 0.974) and linear increase EE% (r2 = 0.9879) and DL% (r2 = 0.9892) with the acetone concentration (range 10-100% v/v). Paeonol encapsulated into and adhered on PNCs were confirmed by UV-Visible spectra (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Drug release behavior in vitro showed that 100% acetone as solvents on developing Pae@PNCs have greater advantages in controlling and prolonging paeonol release. Results demonstrated that solvents have a significant influence on forming Pae@PNCs.
