Studies on cationic ocular emulsions containing bipartitioned oil droplets to codeliver cyclosporin A and etodolac. Nanomedicine (Lond) 2024; 19:1035-1050. [PMID: 38686958 PMCID: PMC11221375 DOI: 10.2217/nnm-2023-0364] [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: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: To prepare ocular emulsions containing bipartitioned oil droplets to entrap cyclosporin A (0.05% w/w) and etodolac (0.2% w/w) by using castor, olive and silicon oils. Methods: The physicochemical characterizations of prepared emulsions were performed. The drug's biodistribution profiles and pharmacokinetic parameters from emulsions were checked using the ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method in the ocular tissues of the healthy rabbit eye model. Results: The emulsions displayed 365.13 ± 7.21 nm size and 26.45 ± 2.09 mV zeta potential. The ferrying of two drugs after releasing from emulsions occurred across corneal/conjunctival tissues to enter the vitreous and sclera following a single drop administration into the rabbit's eyes. Conclusion: The dual drug-loaded emulsions were more likely to produce synergistic anti-inflammatory activity for managing moderate-to-severe dry eye disease.

Abstract
For the first time, the co-delivery of chloroquine phosphate and flavopiridol by intra-articular route was achieved to provide local joint targeting in Complete Freund's Adjuvant-induced arthritis rat model. The presence of paired-bean structure onto the dispersed oil droplets of o/w nanosized emulsions allows efficient entrapment of two drugs (85.86-96.22 %). The dual drug-loaded emulsions displayed a differential in vitro drug release behavior, near normal cell viability in MTT assay, better cell uptake (internalization) and better reducing effect of mean immunofluorescence intensity of inflammatory proteins such as NF-κB and iNOS at in vitro RAW264.7 macrophage cell line. The radiographical study, ELISA test, RT-PCR study and H & E staining also indicated a reduction in joint tissue swelling, IL-6 and TNF-α levels diminution, fold change diminution in the mRNA expressions for NF-κB, IL-1β, IL-6 and PGE2 and maintenance of near normal histology at bone cartilage interface respectively. The results of metabolomic pathway analysis performed by LC-MS/MS method using the rat blood (plasma) collected from disease control and dual drug-loaded emulsions treatment groups revealed a new follow-up study to understand not only the disease progression but also the formulation therapeutic efficacy assessment.

Abstract
Multicompartment structures have the potential for biomedical applications because they can act as multifunctional systems and provide simultaneous delivery of drugs and diagnostics agents of different types. Moreover, some of them mimic biological cells to some extent with organelles as separate sub-compartments. This article analyses multicompartment colloidal structures with smaller sub-units covered with lipid or polymer membranes that provide additional protection for the encapsulated substances. Vesosomes with small vesicles encapsulated in the inner pools of larger liposomes are the most studied systems to date. Dendrimer molecules are enclosed by a lipid bilayer shell in dendrosomes. Capsosomes, polymersomes-in-polymer capsules, and cubosomes-in-polymer capsules are composed of sub-compartments encapsulated within closed multilayer polymer membranes. Janus or Cerberus emulsions contain droplets composed of two or three phases: immiscible oils in O/W emulsions and aqueous polymer or salt solutions that are separated into two or three phases and form connected droplets in W/O emulsions. In more cases, the external surface of engulfed droplets in Janus or Cerberus emulsions is covered with a lipid or polymer monolayer. eLiposomes with emulsion droplets encapsulated into a bilayer shell have been given little attention so far, but they have very great prospects. In addition to nanoemulsion droplets, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers and inorganic nanoparticles can be loaded into eLiposomes. Molecular engineering of the external membrane allows the creation of ligand-targeted and stimuli-responsive multifunctional systems. As a result, the efficacy of drug delivery can be significantly enhanced.

Abstract
We report a modified approach to the batch scale preparation of completely engulfed core-shell emulsions or partially engulfed Janus emulsions with colorful optical properties, containing water, olive oil, and silicone oil. The in situ reduction of gold chloride, forming gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) at the olive oil interface in the absence or presence of chitosan, leads to the formation of compartmentalized olive-silicone oil emulsion droplets in water. In the absence of additional reducing components, time-dependent morphological transformations from partial engulfment to complete engulfment were observed. Similar experiments in the presence of chitosan or presynthesized AuNPs show an opposite time-dependent trend of transformation of core-shell structures into partially engulfed ones. This behavior can be understood by a time-dependent rearrangement of the AuNPs at the interface and changes of the interfacial tension. The Pickering effect of AuNPs at oil-water and oil-oil interfaces brings not only color effects to individual microdroplets, which are of special relevance for the preparation of new optical elements, but also a surprising self-assembly of droplets.

Abstract
Janus droplets can function as excellent templates for fabricating physically and chemically anisotropic particles. Here, we report new surfactant-laden Janus droplets with curvature controllability and enhanced stability against coalescence, suitable for fabricating shape-anisotropic polymer microparticles. Using a microfluidic flow-focusing device on a glass chip, nanoliter-sized biphasic droplets, comprising an acrylate monomer segment and a silicone-oil (SO) segment containing a surfactant, were produced in a co-flowing aqueous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution. At equilibrium, the droplets formed a Janus geometry based on the minimization of interfacial energy, and each of the two Janus segments were uniform in size with coefficient-of-variation values below 3%. By varying the concentration of the surfactant in the SO phase, the curvature of the interface between the two lobes could be shifted among concave, planar, and convex shapes. In addition, the Janus droplets exhibited significantly improved stability against coalescence compared with previously reported Janus droplets carrying no surfactant that coalesced rapidly. Finally, via off-chip photopolymerization, concave-convex, planar-convex, and biconvex lens-shaped particles were fabricated.

Abstract
AbstractJanus particles represent a unique group of patchy particles combining two or more different physical or chemical functionalities at their opposite sides. Especially, individual Janus particles (JPs) with both chemical and geometrical anisotropy as well as their assembled layers provide considerable advantages over the conventional monofunctional particles or surfactant molecules offering (a) a high surface-to-volume ratio; (b) high interfacial activity; (c) target controlling and manipulation of their interfacial activity by external signals such as temperature, light, pH, or ionic strength and achieving switching between stable emulsions and macro-phase separation; (d) recovery and recycling; (e) controlling the mass transport across the interface between the two phases; and finally (f) tunable several functionalities in one particle allowing their use either as carrier materials for immobilized catalytically active substances or, alternatively, their site-selective attachment to substrates keeping another functionality active for further reactions. All these advantages of JPs make them exclusive materials for application in (bio-)catalysis and (bio-)sensing. Considering “green chemistry” aspects covering biogenic materials based on either natural or fully synthetic biocompatible and biodegradable polymers for the design of JPs may solve the problem of toxicity of some existing materials and open new paths for the development of more environmentally friendly and sustainable materials in the very near future. Considering the number of contributions published each year on the topic of Janus particles in general, the number of contributions regarding their environmentally friendly and sustainable applications is by far smaller. This certainly pinpoints an important challenge and is addressed in this review article. The first part of the review focuses on the synthesis of sustainable biogenic or biocompatible Janus particles, as well as strategies for their recovery, recycling, and reusability. The second part addresses recent advances in applications of biogenic/biocompatible and non-biocompatible JPs in environmental and biotechnological fields such as sensing of hazardous pollutants, water decontamination, and hydrogen production. Finally, we provide implications for the rational design of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials based on Janus particles.

Abstract
Magnetite containing aerogels were synthesized by freeze-drying olive oil/silicone oil-based Janus emulsion gels containing gelatin and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC). The magnetite nanoparticles dispersed in olive oil are processed into the gel and remain in the macroporous aerogel after removing the oil components. The coexistence of macropores from the Janus droplets and mesopores from freeze-drying of the hydrogels in combination with the magnetic properties offer a special hierarchical pore structure, which is of relevance for smart supercapacitors, biosensors, and spilled oil sorption and separation. The morphology of the final structure was investigated in dependence on initial compositions. More hydrophobic aerogels with magnetic responsiveness were synthesized by bisacrylamide-crosslinking of the hydrogel. The crosslinked aerogels can be successfully used in magnetically responsive clean up experiments of the cationic dye methylene blue. Magnetite containing aerogels were synthesized by freeze-drying olive oil/silicone oil-based Janus emulsion gels containing gelatin and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC).![]()

Abstract
Reversible alteration between different emulsion morphologies like core-shell and Janus is conventionally triggered by altering the interfacial energy between different phases. In contrast, here, we show that the morphology of dispersed droplets can be changed also when the emulsion is sufficiently confined between two parallel plates. In particular, we use three immiscible phases: silicone oil, paraffin oil, and aqueous solution of surface-active agents like agarose, sodium dodecylsulfate, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to generate oil-in-water emulsions consisting of complex morphologies of the dispersed droplets. In the unconfined state, the core-shell drops appear with paraffin oil at the core and silicone oil at the shell. However, the morphology of oil droplets changes to Janus when the emulsion is confined between two parallel plates. We have shown that the meniscus of the continuous phase that forms between the parallel plates alters the pressure field in the emulsion and the total energy of the system, which trigger such morphological transition.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been broadly studied for applications in clinically motivated fields such as tissue regeneration, drug delivery, and wound healing, as well as in a wide variety of consumer and industry uses. While the control of mechanical properties and network structures are important in all of these applications, for regenerative medicine applications in particular, matching the chemical, topographical and mechanical properties for the target use/tissue is critical. There have been multiple alternatives developed for fabricating materials with microstructures with goals of controlling the spatial location, phenotypic evolution, and signaling of cells. The commonly employed polymers such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), polypeptides, and polysaccharides (as well as others) can be processed by various methods in order to control material heterogeneity and microscale structures. We review here the more commonly used polymers, chemistries, and methods for generating microstructures in biomaterials, highlighting the range of possible morphologies that can be produced, and the limitations of each method. With a focus in liquid-liquid phase separation, methods and chemistries well suited for stabilizing the interface and arresting the phase separation are covered. As the microstructures can affect cell behavior, examples of such effects are reviewed as well. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Heterogeneous hydrogels with enhanced matrix complexity have been studied for a variety of biomimetic materials. A range of materials based on poly(ethylene glycol), polypeptides, proteins, and/or polysaccharides, have been employed in the studies of materials that by virtue of their microstructure, can control the behaviors of cells. Methods including microfluidics, photolithography, gelation in the presence of porogens, and liquid-liquid phase separation, are presented as possible strategies for producing materials, and their relative advantages and disadvantages are discussed. We also describe in more detail the various processes involved in LLPS, and how they can be manipulated to alter the kinetics of phase separation and to yield different microstructured materials.
