[PMID: 38171672 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121647] [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: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a flexible, water-soluble, non-immunogenic, as well as biocompatible polymer, and it could synergize with polysaccharides for food applications. The molecular modification strategies, including covalent bond interactions (amino groups, carboxyl groups, aldehyde groups, tosylate groups, etc.), and non-covalent bond interactions (hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, etc.) on PEG molecular chains are discussed. Its versatile structure, group modifiability, and amphiphilic block buildability could improve the functions of polysaccharides (e.g., chitosan, cellulose, starch, alginate, etc.) and adjust the properties of combined PEG/polysaccharides with outstanding chain tunability and matrix processability owing to plasticizing effects, compatibilizing effects, steric stabilizing effects and excluded volume effects by PEG, for achieving the diverse performance targets. The synergetic properties of PEG/polysaccharides with remarkable architecture were summarized, including mechanical properties, antibacterial activity, antioxidant performance, self-healing properties, carrier and delivery characteristics. The PEG/polysaccharides with excellent combined properties and embeddable merits illustrate potential applications including food packaging, food intelligent indication/detection, food 3D printing and nutraceutical food absorption. Additionally, prospects (like food innovation and preferable nutrient utilization) and key challenges (like structure-effectiveness-applicability relationship) for PEG/polysaccharides are proposed and addressed for food fields.

Abstract
The targeted delivery of cancer drugs to tumor-specific molecular targets represents a major challenge in modern personalized cancer medicine. Engineering of micron and submicron polymeric multilayer capsules allows the obtaining of multifunctional theranostic systems serving as controllable stimulus-responsive tools with a high clinical potential to be used in cancer therapy and detection. The functionalities of such theranostic systems are determined by the design and structural properties of the capsules. This review (1) describes the current issues in designing cancer cell-targeting polymeric multilayer capsules, (2) analyzes the effects of the interactions of the capsules with the cellular and molecular constituents of biological fluids, and (3) presents the key structural parameters determining the effectiveness of capsule targeting. The influence of the morphological and physicochemical parameters and the origin of the structural components and surface ligands on the functional activity of polymeric multilayer capsules at the molecular, cellular, and whole-body levels are summarized. The basic structural and functional principles determining the future trends of theranostic capsule development are established and discussed.

Exploiting the layer-by-layer nanoarchitectonics for the fabrication of polymer capsules: A toolbox to provide multifunctional properties to target complex pathologies. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 304:102680. [PMID: 35468354 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2022.102680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Polymer capsules fabricated via the layer-by-layer (LbL) approach have attracted a great deal of attention for biomedical applications thanks to their tunable architecture. Compared to alternative methods, in which the precise control over the final properties of the systems is usually limited, the intrinsic versatility of the LbL approach allows the functionalization of all the constituents of the polymeric capsules following relatively simple protocols. In fact, the final properties of the capsules can be adjusted from the inner cavity to the outer layer through the polymeric shell, resulting in therapeutic, diagnostic, or theranostic (i.e., combination of therapeutic and diagnostic) agents that can be adapted to the particular characteristics of the patient and face the challenges encountered in complex pathologies. The biomedical industry demands novel biomaterials capable of targeting several mechanisms and/or cellular pathways simultaneously while being tracked by minimally invasive techniques, thus highlighting the need to shift from monofunctional to multifunctional polymer capsules. In the present review, those strategies that permit the advanced functionalization of polymer capsules are accordingly introduced. Each of the constituents of the capsule (i.e., cavity, multilayer membrane and outer layer) is thoroughly analyzed and a final overview of the combination of all the strategies toward the fabrication of multifunctional capsules is presented. Special emphasis is given to the potential biomedical applications of these multifunctional capsules, including particular examples of the performed in vitro and in vivo validation studies. Finally, the challenges in the fabrication process and the future perspective for their safe translation into the clinic are summarized.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) core particles of MIL-101(Cr), aluminum fumarate (Basolite® A520), MIL-53-TDC, zirconium fumarate, and UiO-66 were modified by adsorption of thin polyelectrolyte (PE)-based shells without deterioration of their crystal structure. By applying different PEs and depositing a single layer (MOF/PE) or one to three layer-by-layer assembled bilayers (MOF/LbL), the mass percent of shell material in the composite was varied from 0.6-2.5% to 50%. Under a constant relative pressure of water vapor, the moisture uptake by a MOF/PE and a MOF/LbL is rather comparable with its S-shaped curvature to that of pristine MOFs. The relevant differences, such as a shift of the ascending adsorption part to lower/higher relative pressure or an increase/decrease in water uptake in selected regions, are associated with the core-shell structure and related to the morphological changes of the MOF powders. The hydrophilic surface promotes the formation of liquid menisci at the points of contact between particles and accelerates the moisture uptake and loss. A decrease in water sorption under an atmosphere with high humidity by some composites can be associated with the inhibition of liquid water condensation by the more hydrophobic shells.

Abstract
N-grafted copolymers of chitosan (460 kDa) with poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (2.4 kDa) or poly(vinyl alcohol) (2.0 kDa) as side chains were synthesized. Depending on the polymer-to-chitosan mass ratio the degree of amino group substitution with side chains in chitosan backbone was varied in the range of 0.01-0.33. Layer-by-layer films consisted of copolymers and dextran sulfate as polyanion were obtained. Thickness, hydrophilicity, and morphology of the films were investigated using QCM, UV-vis spectrophotometry, AFM, and contact angle measurements. The obtained films show enhanced protein-repellent properties in fetal bovine serum medium. The mass of adsorbed proteins on LbL films based on copolymer with a degree of substitution of 0.2 decreases by 50 % compared to unmodified chitosan. Protein-repellent properties of copolymer-based films are common for LbL films of grafted chitosan copolymers and depend on hydrophilic side chain density on the surface.

Abstract
Public perception of polymers has been drastically changed with the improved plastic management at the end of their life. However, it is widely recognised the need of developing biodegradable polymers, as an alternative to traditional petrochemical polymers. Chitosan (CH), a biodegradable biopolymer with excellent physiological and structural properties, together with its immunostimulatory and antibacterial activity, is a good candidate to replace other polymers, mainly in biomedical applications. However, CH has also several drawbacks, which can be solved by chemical modifications to improve some of its characteristics such as solubility, biological activity, and mechanical properties. Many chemical modifications have been studied in the last decade to improve the properties of CH. This review focussed on a critical analysis of the state of the art of chemical modifications by cross-linking and graft polymerization, between CH or CH derivatives and other biodegradable polymers (polysaccharides or proteins, obtained from microorganisms, synthetized from biomonomers, or from petrochemical products). Both techniques offer the option of including a wide variety of functional groups into the CH chain. Thus, enhanced and new properties can be obtained in accordance with the requirements for different applications, such as the release of drugs, the improvement of antimicrobial properties of fabrics, the removal of dyes, or as scaffolds to develop bone tissues.

Abstract
New insights about nanomaterials' biodistribution revealed their ability to achieve tumor accumulation by taking advantage from the dynamic vents occurring in tumor's vasculature. This paradigm-shift emphasizes the importance of extending nanomaterials' blood circulation time to enhance their tumor uptake. The classic strategy to improve nanomaterials' stability during circulation relies on their functionalization with poly(ethylene glycol). However, recent reports have been showing that PEGylated nanomaterials can suffer from the accelerated blood clearance phenomenon, emphasizing the importance of developing novel coatings for functionalizing the nanomaterials. To address this limitation, the modification of natural carriers' surface to enhance their stability appears to be a promising strategy. Herein, sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA)-functionalized bovine serum albumin (BSA) was synthesized for the first time to investigate the capacity of this modification to improve the resulting nanoparticles' physicochemical properties, colloidal stability and in vitro performance. This novel polymer was then employed in the formulation of nanoparticles loaded with IR780 for application in breast cancer phototherapy (IR/SBMA-BSA NPs). When compared to their non-functionalized equivalents, the IR/SBMA-BSA NPs presented a neutral surface charge and a higher stability in biologically relevant media. Due to these features, the IR/SBMA-BSA NPs could achieve a 1.9-fold greater uptake by breast cancer cells than IR/BSA NPs. Furthermore, the IR/SBMA-BSA NPs were cytocompatible towards normal cells and reduced breast cancer cells' viability up to 42%. The phototherapy mediated by IR/SBMA-BSA NPs could further decrease cancer cells' viability to about 12%. Overall, the IR/SBMA-BSA NPs have enhanced features that propel their application in breast cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) films with enhanced resistance to protein adsorption were obtained on the basis of N-grafted copolymers of chitosan with polyethylene glycol (PEG) or dextran (DEX). The copolymers with the backbone molecular weight of 18 and 450 kDa, side chains of PEG of 5.0 and 0.9 kDa, DEX of 6.0 kDa and the degree of amine groups substitution χSub as high as ∼0.25 were alternated with dextran sulfate (DS) to assemble up to 10 bilayer films. The film material contains 85±5% of water with virtually no effect of the copolymer structure. By utilizing the graft copolymers and applying suitable number of copolymer/DS bilayers to the surface, the mass of adsorbed fetal bovine serum proteins was decreased by 70-85% as compared to that on unmodified chitosan/DS film. In terms of overlapping side chains on the LbL surface the copolymers of PEG and DEX are equally effective in tailoring protein-resistant materials.
