Abstract
The efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs in tumor treatment is limited by their toxicity and side effects due to their inability to selectively accumulate in tumor tissue. In addition, chemotherapeutic agents are easily pumped out of tumor cells, resulting in their inadequate accumulation. To overcome these challenges, a drug delivery system utilizing the amphiphilic peptide Pep1 was designed. Pep1 can self-assemble into spherical nanoparticles (PL/Pep1) and encapsulate paclitaxel (PTX) and lapatinib (LAP). PL/Pep1 transformed into nanofibers in an acidic environment, resulting in longer drug retention and higher drug concentrations within tumor cells. Ultimately, PL/Pep1 inhibited tumor angiogenesis and enhanced tumor cell apoptosis. The use of shape-changing peptides as drug carriers to enhance cancer cell apoptosis is promising.

Abstract
Liposomes are promising drug carriers for a wide range of central nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), since they can protect active substances from degradation and could be administered intranasally, ensuring a direct access to the brain. Levodopa (LD), the drug commonly used to treat PD, spontaneously oxidizes in aqueous solutions and thus needs to be stabilized. Our investigation focuses on the preparation and the physico-chemical characterization of mixed liposomes to vehiculate LD and two natural substances (L-ascorbic acid and quercetin) that can prevent its oxidation and contribute to the treatment of Parkinson's disease. These co-loaded vesicles were prepared using a saturated phospholipid and structurally related cationic or analogue N-oxide surfactants and showed different properties, based on their composition. In particular, ex-vivo permeability tests using porcine nasal mucosa were performed, denoting that subtle variations of the lipids structure can significantly affect the delivery of LD to the target site.

Abstract
Pectin can improve the bioaccessibility of icaritin as a nanocarrier, and ultrasound can modify the pectin structure. However, the interaction between ultrasound-modified pectin (UMP) and icaritin remains unclearly. In this work, the effects of UMP on the physiochemical properties of icaritin/pectin micelles (IPMs) were investigated. The IPMs prepared with UMP (UMP-IPMs) showed lower encapsulation efficiencies and loading capacities, comparing with native IPMs. UMP-IPMs had smaller particle sizes (325-399 nm) than native IPMs (551 nm). The Mw, viscosity, G' and G" of pectin were determined. NMR spectra indicated that the repeating unit in pectins remained consistently before and after ultrasound treatment, and 7-OH of icaritin was involved in hydrogen bond formation with pectin. The larger chemical shift movement of 6-H and 7-OH for U3-IPMs than P0-IPMs suggested that stronger hydrogen bond interaction between icaritin and pectin. UMP-IPMs exhibited stronger anti-proliferation activities against HepG2 cells than native IPMs.

Abstract
The Pickering emulsion was prepared by short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) esterified debranched starch. The microstructure, particle size distribution, rheological properties and stability of the emulsions showed that the introduction of acyl groups improved the ability of starch to stabilize the emulsions, in which the butyrylated starch with longer acyl side chains exhibited higher emulsifying ability compared to acetylated and propionylated starches. Pickering emulsions stabilized with butyrylated starch as stabilizer have better stability after 30 days of storage. The particle size distribution of SCFAs-esterified starch emulsions with enzymatic debranching pretreatment was more concentrated and the droplet size was further reduced, which improved the instability factors such as flocculation, agglomeration or Ostwald ripening of emulsions induced by conventional SCFAs-esterified emulsions and further improved the stability of SCFAs-esterified emulsions. More importantly, butyrylated starch (with or without debranched pretreatment) emulsions exhibited smaller and more uniform droplet shapes and higher curcumin encapsulation efficiency (EE%) in SCFAs-esterified starch emulsions, and the EE% of curcumin in debranched butyrylated starch emulsion increasing from 10.04 % in native starch emulsions to 50.70 %.

Abstract
Flavonoids such as baohuoside I and icaritin are the major active compounds in Epimedii Folium (EF) and possess excellent therapeutic effects on various diseases. Encouragingly, in 2022, icaritin soft capsules were approved to reach the market for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China. Moreover, recent studies demonstrate that icaritin can serve as immune-modulating agent to exert anti-tumor effects. Nonetheless, both production efficiency and clinical applications of epimedium flavonoids have been restrained because of their low content, poor bioavailability, and unfavorable in vivo delivery efficiency. Recently, various strategies, including enzyme engineering and nanotechnology, have been developed to increase productivity and activity, improve delivery efficiency, and enhance therapeutic effects of epimedium flavonoids. In this review, the structure-activity relationship of epimedium flavonoids is described. Then, enzymatic engineering strategies for increasing the productivity of highly active baohuoside I and icaritin are discussed. The nanomedicines for overcoming in vivo delivery barriers and improving therapeutic effects of various diseases are summarized. Finally, the challenges and an outlook on clinical translation of epimedium flavonoids are proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study the potential of liposomes as a vitamin E (VE) and β-carotene (βC) delivery system was examined. The co-encapsulated liposomes of βC and VE (L-VE-βC) were prepared and characterized. Their antioxidant properties were evaluated by free radical scavenging activities of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), hydroxyl radical and lipid peroxidation assay. The in vitro sustained release behaviour was then investigated and discussed. RESULTS VE and βC were co-encapsulated in liposomes with high encapsulation efficiency, up to 92.49% and 86.16% for βC and VE, respectively. The antioxidant activities of L-VE-βC samples were significantly higher than that of single loaded liposome. Among different ratios of VE/βC, L-VE-βC at 5:3 exhibited the highest radical scavenging rates, with 66.80%, 56.58% and 34.39% for DPPH, ABTS and OH radical, respectively. L-VE-βC samples also had a good ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation, especially the sample with ratios of VE/βC at 5:3 and 3:1. In simulated gastrointestinal release, L-VE-βC exhibited an excellent sustained release behaviour in SGF with the accumulated rate at about 20%, while the release rate in SIF increased to over 80%, where they should be absorbed. The release kinetics analysis indicated that βC was released in the Higuchi model in stomach, and the Korsmeyr-Peppas model in intestine. CONCLUSION Compared to single loaded liposomes, the combined-loaded liposomes exhibited higher antioxidant activity and bioavailability, suggesting the potential applications in functional foods. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is a leading cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer. Current treatments for H. pylori are limited by the increase in antibiotic-resistant strains and low drug delivery to the infection site, indicating the need for effective delivery systems of antibiotics. Although liposomes are the most successful drug delivery carriers that have already been applied commercially, their acidic stability still stands as a problem. Herein, we developed a novel nanoliposome using cosmetic raw materials of mannosylerythritol lipid-B (MEL-B), soy bean lecithin, and cholesterol, namely, LipoSC-MELB. LipoSC-MELB exhibited enhanced stability under the simulated gastric-acid condition, owing to its strong intermolecular hydrogen-bond interactions caused by the incorporation of MEL-B. Moreover, amoxicillin-loaded LipoSC-MELB (LipoSC-MELB/AMX) had a particle size of approximately 100 nm and exhibited sustained drug release under varying pH conditions (pH 3-7). Besides, LipoSC-MELB/AMX exhibited significantly higher anti-H. pylori and anti-H. pylori biofilm activity as compared with free AMX. Furthermore, LipoSC-MELB was able to carry AMX across the barriers of gastric mucus and H. pylori biofilms. Remarkably, in vivo assays indicated that LipoSC-MELB/AMX was effective in treating H. pylori infection and its associated gastritis and gastric ulcers. Overall, the findings of this study showed that LipoSC-MELB was effective for gastromucosal delivery of amoxicillin to improve its bioavailability for the treatment of H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Hollow nanoparticles are preferred over solid ones for their high loading capabilities, sustained release and low density. Hollow zein particles are susceptible to aggregation with a slight variation in the ionic strength, pH and temperature of the medium. This study was aimed to fabricate quercetin-loaded hollow zein particles with chitosan and pectin coating to improve their physicochemical stability. Quercetin as a model flavonoid had a loading efficiency and capacity of about 86–94% and 2.22–5.89%, respectively. Infrared and X-ray diffraction investigations revealed the interaction of quercetin with zein and the change in its physical state from crystalline to amorphous upon incorporation in the composite particles. The chitosan/pectin coating improved the stability of quercetin-loaded hollow zein particles against heat treatment, sodium chloride and in a wide range of pH. The complex coating protected quercetin that was encapsulated in hollow zein particles from free radicals in the aqueous medium and enhanced its DPPH radical scavenging ability. The entrapment of quercetin in the particles improved its storage and photochemical stability. The storage stability of entrapped quercetin was enhanced both at 25 and 45 °C in hollow zein particles coated with chitosan and pectin. Therefore, composite hollow zein particles fabricated with a combination of polysaccharides can expand their role in the encapsulation, protection and delivery of bioactive components.

Abstract
The combination of chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel (PTX) and VEGF siRNA could inhibit cancer development with synergistic efficacy. However, efficient and safe delivery systems with high encapsulation efficiency of PTX and a long-time release of drugs are urgently needed. In this study, novel nanoparticles (PTX/siRNA/FALS) were constructed by using tripeptide lipid (L), sucrose laurate (S), and folate-PEG2000-DSPE (FA) to co-deliver PTX and siRNA. The cancer cell targeting nanoparticle carrier (PTX/siRNA/FALS) showed anticipated PTX encapsulation efficiency, siRNA retardation ability, improved cell uptake and sustained and controlled drug release. It led to significant anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo by efficient inhibition of VEGF expression and induction of cancer cell apoptosis. Importantly, the biocompatibility of the carriers and low dosage of PTX required for effective therapy greatly reduced the toxicity to mice. The targeting nanoparticles show potential as an effective co-delivery platform for RNAi and chemotherapy drugs, aiming to improve the efficacy of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Abstract Since time immemorial, plant derived natural products have been used for the treatment of various human diseases before the intervention of modern medicine. The basis of modern medicine is still being inspired from traditional medicine and therapies. However, despite
their tremendous therapeutic potential, these natural drugs often have poor bioavailability, metabolic instability, and aqueous insolubility. These factors greatly impede a natural drug’s commercialization potential as a mainstream medicine. Therefore, the development of nanocarrier
drug delivery systems is indispensable in overcoming the various constraints of the bottlenecks which occur with natural drugs. Of particular interest in this review are four plant materials endogenous to China with the common names of barrenwort or horny goat weed (Epimedium), Shu
Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa, RG), ginseng (Panax ginseng), and Dong Quai or female ginseng (Angelica sinensis, AS), each having been scientifically investigated for a wide range of therapeutic uses as has been originally discovered from the long history of traditional
usage and anecdotal information by local population groups in Asia. The integration of natural drugs from the East and nanocarrier drug delivery systems developed from the West is paving the way towards further accurate and efficient medicine therapy. We further discuss the potential benefits
of these plants and the enhancement of their therapeutic efficacy by nanotechnology intervention.

Abstract
The inherent thermodynamic instability of liposomes during production and storage has limited their widespread applications. Therefore, a novel structure of food-grade nanoliposomes stabilized by a 3D organogel network within the bilayer shell was developed through the extrusion process and successfully applied to encapsulate vitamin D3. A huge flocculation and a significant reduction of zeta potential (-17 mV) were observed in control nanoliposomes (without the organogel shell) after 2 months of storage at 4 °C, while the sample with a gelled bilayer showed excellent stability with a particle diameter of 105 nm and a high negative zeta potential (-63.4 mV), even after 3 months. The development of spherical vesicles was confirmed by TEM. Interestingly, the gelled bilayer shell led to improved stability against osmotically active divalent salt ions. Electron paramagnetic resonance confirmed the higher rigidity of the shell bilayer upon gelation. The novel liposome offered a dramatic increase in encapsulation efficiency and loading of vitamin D3 compared to those of control.

Improving Vesicular Integrity and Antioxidant Activity of Novel Mixed Soy Lecithin-Based Liposomes Containing Squalene and Their Stability against UV Light. Molecules 2020; 25:E5873.

Abstract
In order to improve the membrane lipophilicity and the affinity towards the environment of lipid bilayers, squalene (SQ) could be conjugated to phospholipids in the formation of liposomes. The effect of membrane composition and concentrations on the degradation of liposomes prepared via the extrusion method was investigated. Liposomes were prepared using a mixture of SQ, cholesterol (CH) and Tween80 (TW80). Based on the optimal conditions, liposome batches were prepared in the absence and presence of SQ. Their physicochemical and stability behavior were evaluated as a function of liposome constituent. From the optimization study, the liposomal formulation containing 5% (w/w) mixed soy lecithin (ML), 0.5% (w/w) SQ, 0.3% (w/w) CH and 0.75% (w/w) TW80 had optimal physicochemical properties and displayed a unilamellar structure. Liposome prepared using the optimal formulation had a low particle size (158.31 ± 2.96 nm) and acceptable %increase in the particle size (15.09% ± 3.76%) and %trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (%TEAC) loss (35.69% ± 0.72%) against UV light treatment (280-320 nm) for 6 h. The interesting outcome of this research was the association of naturally occurring substance SQ for size reduction without the extra input of energy or mechanical procedures, and improvement of vesicle stability and antioxidant activity of ML-based liposome. This study also demonstrated that the presence of SQ in the membrane might increase the acyl chain dynamics and decrease the viscosity of the dispersion, thereby limiting long-term stability of the liposome.

Impact of Quercetin Encapsulation with Added Phytosterols on Bilayer Membrane and Photothermal-Alteration of Novel Mixed Soy Lecithin-Based Liposome. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10122432. [PMID: 33291386 PMCID: PMC7762074 DOI: 10.3390/nano10122432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
This study used highly lipophilic agents with an aim to increase the oxidant inhibitory activity and enhance photothermal stability of a novel mixed soy lecithin (ML)-based liposome by changing the composition of formulation within the membrane. Specifically, the development and optimization of the liposome intended for improving Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) value and %TEAC loss was carried out by incorporating a natural antioxidant, quercetin (QU). In this context, a focus was set on QU encapsulation in ML-based liposomes and the concentration-dependent solubility of QU was investigated and calculated as encapsulation efficiency (EE). To explore the combined effects of the incorporation of plant sterols on the integrity and entrapment capacity of mixed phospholipid vesicles, conjugation of two types of phytosterols (PSs), namely β-sitosterol (βS) and stigmasterol (ST), to mixed membranes at different ratios was also performed. The EE measurement revealed that QU could be efficiently encapsulated in the stable ML-based liposome using 0.15 and 0.1 g/100 mL of βS and ST, respectively. The aforementioned liposome complex exhibited a considerable TEAC (197.23%) and enhanced TEAC loss (30.81%) when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light (280-320 nm) over a 6 h duration. It appeared that the presence and type of PSs affect the membrane-integration characteristics as well as photodamage transformation of the ML-based liposome. The association of QU with either βS or ST in the formulation was justified by their synergistic effects on the enhancement of the EE of liposomes. Parallel to this, it was demonstrated that synergistic PS effects could be in effect in the maintenance of membrane order of the ML-based liposome. The findings presented in this study provided useful information for the development and production of stable QU-loaded ML-based liposomes for food and nutraceutical applications and could serve as a potential mixed lipids-based delivery system in the disease management using antioxidant therapy.

Abstract
The prenylated flavonoid icaritin (ICT) is currently undergoing phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), based on a solid array of preclinical and clinical data. The antitumor activity originates from the capacity of the drug to modulate several signaling effectors in cancer cells, mainly the estrogen receptor splice variant ERα36, the transcription factors STAT3 and NFκB, and the chemokine receptor CXCR4. Recent studies have implicated additional components, including different microRNAs, the generation of reactive oxygen species and the targeting of sphingosine kinase-1. ICT also engages the RAGE-HMGB1 signaling route and modulates the apoptosis/autophagy crosstalk to promote its anticancer activity. In addition, ICT exerts profound changes on the tumor microenvironment to favor an immune-response. Collectively, these multiple biochemical and cellular characteristics confer to ICT a robust activity profile which can be exploited to treat HCC, as well as other cancers, including glioblastoma and onco-hematological diseases such as chronic myeloid leukemia. This review provides an update of the pharmacological properties of ICT and its metabolic characteristics. It also addresses the design of derivatives, including both natural products and synthetic molecules, such as SNG1153 also in clinical trial. The prenylated flavonoid ICT deserves attention as a multifunctional natural product potentially useful to improve the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
The effects of three kinds of sterols (cholesterol, β-sitosterol and ergosterol) on the stability, microstructure and membrane properties of soybean and egg yolk lecithin liposomes were investigated by light scattering, transmission electron microscope (TEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), fluorescence and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The vesicle size of cholesterol or β-sitosterol incorporated liposomes was higher than that of the control and ergosterol incorporated ones, while the zeta-potential was similar when the same lecithin was used. Due to the excellent emulsifying capacity, Tween-80 was introduced into the system and which could obviously maintain the liposomal vesicle size in fetal bovine serum. According to TEM and AFM, the phenomena of membrane fusion and deformation were observed respectively in ergosterol-incorporated liposomes. Results of fluorescence probe spectra revealed the most compact membrane structure was found in cholesterol-incorporated liposomes, which was in accordance with the strongest intermolecular interaction in bilayers obtained by FTIR results. Conversely, the membrane of ergosterol-incorporated liposomes was the most fragile and fluid, which was also identified with the lowest physical stability obtained by Turbiscan. These results systematically illustrated the relationship between the structure of sterols and the liposomal membrane stability, and provided some meaningful information on the choice of sterols and lecithin in preparation of liposomes for different purposes.

Abstract
AbstractLiposomes are known as convenient carriers for a broad range of actives. The release rate of actives can be adjusted/controlled by the addition of different surfactants. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two surfactants, Span 20 and Span 40, on liposomes release properties. In particular, the study shows how the membrane modification affects the mass transfer resistances and liposome size compared with the common liposomes. The aqueous extract of thyme was used as a model substance. It is a valuable source of natural antioxidants – polyphenols. The diffusion of polyphenols from native thyme extract (un-encapsulated) and from different types of liposomes was conducted using Franz diffusion cell. The results were approximated with Fick’s second law and they implied that liposomes modified with Span 20 provided the slowest release of polyphenolic compounds due to the highest value of mass transfer resistance (2.523 × 106s/m).

Abstract
A new technique of liposomal microencapsulation, consisting of supercritical fluid extraction followed by rapid expansion of the supercritical solution and vacuum-driven cargo loading, was successfully developed. It is a continuous flow-through process without usage of any toxic organic solvent. For use as a coating material, the solubility of soy phospholipids in supercritical carbon dioxide was first determined using a dynamic equilibrium system and the data was correlated with the Chrastil model with good agreement. Liposomes were made with D-(+)-glucose as a cargo and their properties were characterized as functions of expansion pressure, temperature, and cargo loading rates. The highest encapsulation efficiency attained was 31.7% at the middle expansion pressure of 12.41MPa, highest expansion temperature of 90°C, and lowest cargo loading rate of 0.25mL/s. The large unilamellar vesicles and multivesicular vesicles were observed to be a majority of the liposomes produced using this eco-friendly process.
