Int J Pharm 2024; 649:123672. [PMID: 38052280 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123672] [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: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
The peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase Pin1 positively regulates numerous cancer-driving pathways, and it is overexpressed in several malignancies, including high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). The findings that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induces Pin1 degradation strongly support that ATRA treatment might be a promising approach for HGSOC targeted therapy. Nevertheless, repurposing ATRA into the clinics for the treatment of solid tumors remains an unmet need mainly due to the insurgence of resistance and its ineffective delivery. In the present study, niosomes have been employed for improving ATRA delivery in HGSOC cell lines. Characterization of niosomes including hydrodynamic diameter, ζ-potential, morphology, entrapment efficiency and stability over time and in culture media was performed. Furthermore, pH-sensitiveness and ATRA release profile were investigated to demonstrate the capability of these vesicles to release ATRA in a stimuli-responsive manner. Obtained results documented a nanometric and monodispersed samples with negative ζ-potential. ATRA was efficiently entrapped, and a substantial release was observed in the presence of acidic pH (pH 5.5). Finally, unloaded niosomes showed good biocompatibility while ATRA-loaded niosomes significantly increased ATRA Pin1 inhibitory activity, which was consistent with cell growth inhibition. Taken together, ATRA-loaded niosomes might represent an appealing therapeutic strategy for HGSOC therapy.

Abstract
Niosomes are lipid-based nanovesicles that have the potential to act as drug-delivery vehicles for a variety of agents. They are effective drug delivery systems for both ASOs and AAV vectors, with advantages such as improved stability, bioavailability, and targeted administration. In the context of brain-targeted drug delivery, niosomes have been investigated as a drug delivery system for brain targeting, but more research is needed to optimize their formulation to improve their stability and release profile and address the challenges of scale-up and commercialization. Despite these challenges, several applications of niosomes have demonstrated the potential of novel nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery to the brain. This review briefly overviews the current use of niosomes in treating brain disorders and diseases.

Abstract
Given the numerous adverse effects of lung cancer treatment, more research on non-toxic medications is urgently needed. Curcumin (CUR) and berberine (BBR) combat drug resistance by controlling the expression of multidrug resistant pump (MDR1). Fascinatingly, combining these medications increases the effectiveness of preventing lung cancer. Their low solubility and poor stability, however, restrict their therapeutic efficacy. Because of the improved bioavailability and increased encapsulation effectiveness of water-insoluble medicines, surfactant-based nanovesicles have recently received a great deal of attention. The current study sought to elucidate the Combination drug therapy by herbal nanomedicine prevent multidrug resistance protein 1: promote apoptosis in Lung Carcinoma. The impact of several tween (20, 60, and 80) types with varied hydrophobic tails on BBR/CUR-TNV was evaluated. Additionally, the MDR1 activity and apoptosis rate of the BBR/CUR-TNV combination therapy were assessed. The encapsulation effectiveness of TNV was affected by the type of tween. With the TNV made from tween 60, cholesterol, and PEG (47.5: 47.5:5), more encapsulation effectiveness was attained. By combining CUR with BBR, especially when given in TNV, apoptosis increased. Additionally, when CUR and BBR were administered in combination, they significantly reduced the risk of MDR1 development. The current work suggests that the delivery of berberine and curcumin as a combination medication therapy via tween-based nanovesicles may be a potential lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
Gradually, loss of skin elasticity and elastic properties occurs after 30 years of age and will be associated with several changes, including creating wrinkles, skin laxity (sagging skin), and skin blemishes. In general, people all over the world are looking for ways to keep their facial skin young over time. There are several strategies to skin rejuvenate, including invasive and non-invasive methods. However, invasive methods have less popularity than non-invasive methods due to their need for specialist physicians (medical expertise), localized neuropathic pains for patients, the prevalence and incidence of skin infections, and high-cost clinical services. In the meantime, skin hydration is one of the simplest non-invasive methods for skin rejuvenation, and HA, with anti-aging and skin collagen-stimulating properties, has been introduced as a natural skin moisturizing agent. Therefore, since this composition maintains facial skin moisture and radiance, and improves its elasticity, it has always been considered by experts and specialist physicians. On the other hand, due to its lipophilic properties, hydrophilic macromolecules containing HA cannot pass through the stratum corneum. However, they have temporary and superficial softening effects on the skin. Hence, some nanocarriers have been suggested to overcome this problem and develop the properties and positive influences of HA on skin rejuvenation. Therefore, the present study aimed to introduce some new non-invasive approaches in facial skin rejuvenation, including applying liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes, and ionic liquids, to transport HA into the inner and deeper layers of the skin, including Dermis. In this review article, we examine non-invasive methods using nanoparticles to deliver HA to the epidermis and dermis of the skin for skin rejuvenation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Goose meat is rough and embedded with dense connective tissue, impairing protein solubility. Therefore, to improve the functional properties of goose myofibrillar protein (GMP), ultrasound was used to assist the phosphorylation of GMP. RESULTS The fact that GMP attached covalently with the phosphate group of sodium tripolyphosphate (GMP-STP) was disclosed directly by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, ultrasound significantly improved the hydrophobicity and solubility of GMP-STP, which could be attributed to the conversion of α-helix to β-sheet, β-turns, and random coils by sonication. The spatial stabilization of the protein phosphorylation process was boosted by ultrasound, making the droplets more dispersed, and thus an improvement in the functional properties of GMP-STP was observed. Water-holding capacity, oil-binding capacity, and emulsifying and foaming properties were best at an ultrasound power of 400 W. CONCLUSION Ultrasound-assisted phosphorylation has great potential to modulate the structure-function relationship of proteins. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
These days, the eradication of bacterial infections is more difficult due to the mechanism of resistance that bacteria have developed towards traditional antibiotics. One of the medical strategies used against bacteria is the therapy with drug delivery systems. Non-ionic vesicles are nanomaterials with good characteristics for encapsulating drugs, due to their bioavailability and biodegradability, which allow the drugs to reach the specific target and reduce their side effects. In this work, the antibiotic Rifamycin S was encapsulated. The rifamycin antibiotics family has been widely used against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but recent studies have also shown that rifamycin S and rifampicin derivatives have bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus. In this work, a strain of S. aureus was selected to study the antimicrobial activity through Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) assay. Three formulations of niosomes were prepared using the thin film hydration method by varying the composition of the aqueous phase, which included MilliQ water, glycerol solution, or PEG400 solution. Niosomes with a rifamycin S concentration of 0.13 μg/g were satisfactorily prepared. Nanovesicles with larger size and higher encapsulation efficiency (EE) were obtained when using glycerol and PEG400 in the aqueous media. Our results showed that niosomes consisting of an aqueous glycerol solution have higher stability and EE across a diversity of temperatures and pHs, and a lower MIC of rifamycin S against S. aureus.

Abstract
Tuberculosis remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, accounting for nearly 1.3 million deaths every year. Tuberculosis treatment is challenging because of the toxicity, decreased bioavailability at the target site of the conventional drugs and, most importantly, low adherence of patients; this leads to drug resistance. Here, we describe the development of suitable nanocarriers with specific physicochemical properties to efficiently deliver two potent antimycobacterial compounds. We prepared nanoemulsions and niosomes formulations and loaded them with two different MmpL3 inhibitors previously identified (NEs + BM635 and NIs + BM859). NEs + BM635 and NIs + BM859 were deeply characterized for their physicochemical properties and anti-mycobacterial activity. NEs + BM635 and NIs + BM859 showed good hydrodynamic diameter, ζ-Potential, PDI, drug-entrapment efficiency, polarity, and microviscosity and stability. Even though both formulations proved to perform well, only NIs + BM859 showed potent antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis (MIC = 0.6 µM) compared to that of the free compound. This is most probably caused by the fact that BM635, being highly hydrophobic, encounters maximum hindrance in diffusion, whereas BM859, characterized by high solubility in aqueous medium (152 µM), diffuses more easily. The niosomal formulation described in this work may be a useful therapeutic tool for tuberculosis treatment, and further studies will follow to characterize the in vivo behavior of the formulation.

Abstract
Inspired by the salt-in effect, the potential use of protein-glutaminase (PG) to increase the intrinsic charges of chicken breast myofibrillar proteins (CMPs) for enhanced water solubility was tested. The degree of deamidation (DD) and solubility of CMPs increased with PG reaction time. Over 60% of CMPs were soluble in water under a DD of 6.5% due to specific conversion of glutamine to glutamic acid. PG deamidation could remarkably increase the net charge of CMPs with a merit in maintaining most of the amino acid and protein subunit compositions. Such a high electrostatic repulsion exerted a transformation of β-sheet into α-helix, unfolded the structure to expose hydrophobic residues, and allowed the dissociation of myofibril and release of subunits (myosin, actin or their oligomers), leading to a stable colloidal state. This work may foster the engineering advances of protein micro-modification in the tailor manufacture of muscle protein-based beverages.

Abstract
Currently, carriers of active ingredients in the form of particles of a size measured in nanometers are the focus of interest of research centers worldwide. So far, submicrometer emulsions, liposomes, as well as microspheres, and nanospheres made of biodegradable polymers have been used in medicine. Recent studies show particular interest in nanoparticles based on lipids, and at the present time, are even referred to as the "era of lipid carriers". With the passage of time, lipid nanoparticles of the so-called first and second generation, SLN (Solid Lipid Nanoparticles) and nanostructured lipid carriers and NLC (Nanostructured Lipid Carriers), respectively, turned out to be an alternative for all imperfections of earlier carriers. These carriers are characterized by a number of beneficial functional properties, including, among others, structure based on lipids well tolerated by the human body, high stability, and ability to carry hydro- and lipophilic compounds. Additionally, these carriers can enhance the distribution of the drug in the target organ and alter the pharmacokinetic properties of the drug carriers to enhance the medical effect and minimize adverse side effects. This work is focused on the current review of the state-of-the-art related to the synthesis and applications of popular nanoparticles in medicine, with a focus on their use, e.g., in COVID-19 vaccines.

Functionalized niosomes as a smart delivery device in cancer and fungal infection. Eur J Pharm Sci 2021; 168:106052.

Abstract
Various diseases remain untreated due to lack of suitable therapeutic moiety or a suitable drug delivery device, especially where toxicities and side effects are the primary reason for concern. Cancer and fungal infections are diseases where treatment schedules are not completed due to severe side effects or lengthy treatment protocols. Advanced treatment approaches such as active targeting and inhibition of angiogenesis may be preferred method for the treatment for malignancy over the conventional method. Niosomes may be a better alternative drug delivery carrier for various therapeutic moieties (either hydrophilic or hydrophobic) and also due to ease of surface modification, non-immunogenicity and economical. Active targeting approach may be done by targeting the receptors through coupling of suitable ligand on niosomal surface. Moreover, various receptors (CD44, folate, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) & Vascular growth factor receptor (VGFR)) expressed by malignant cells have also been reviewed. The preparation of suitable niosomal formulation also requires considerable attention, and its formulation depends upon various factors such as selection of non-ionic surfactant, method of fabrication, and fabrication parameters. A combination therapy (dual drug and immunotherapy) has been proposed for the treatment of fungal infection with special consideration for surface modification with suitable ligand on niosomal surface to sensitize the receptors (C-type lectin receptors, Toll-like receptors & Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors) present on immune cells involved in fungal immunity. Certain gene silencing concept has also been discussed as an advanced alternative treatment for cancer by silencing the mRNA at molecular level using short interfering RNA (si-RNA).

Abstract
The general characteristics of the effect of surfactants on the activity of lysozyme were demonstrated. The kinetics of bacterial cell lysis is consistent with the Michaelis-Menten equation and the presence of surfactants does not shift the pH-optimum of activity. Surfactants do not change the Km value but instead, affect the Vmax value. The experimental dependencies are well described by theoretical equations, which assume three surfactant binding sites on the lysozyme molecule. The dependencies of the activity of lysozyme on the surfactant concentration are either a step type (i.e., a higher plateau becomes a lower plateau), or a dependency with a maximum and continuation of the curve in the form of a plateau but with an increase in the surfactant concentration. It can be assumed that there is a mechanism for the regulation of lysozyme activity by an unknown natural factor that has a suitable hydrophobic radical capable of binding to the surface of lysozyme.

Abstract
Niosomes are increasingly explored for enhancing drug penetration and retention in ocular tissues for both posterior and anterior eye delivery. They have been employed in encapsulating both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, but their use is still plagued with challenges of stability and poor entrapment efficiency particularly with hydrophilic drugs. As a result, focus is on understanding the parameters that affect their stability and their optimization for improved results. Pilocarpine hydrochloride (HCl), a hydrophilic drug is used in the management of intraocular pressure in glaucoma. We aimed at optimizing pilocarpine HCl niosomes and evaluating the effect of sonication on its stability-indicating properties such as particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential and entrapment efficiency. Pilocarpine niosomes were prepared by ether injection method. Composition concentrations were varied and the effects of these variations on niosomal properties were evaluated. The effects of sonication on niosomes were determined by sonicating optimized drug-loaded formulations for 30 min and 60 min. Tween 60 was confirmed to be more suitable over Span 60 for encapsulating hydrophilic drugs, resulting in the highest entrapment efficiency (EE) and better polydispersity and particle size indices. Optimum sonication duration as a process variable was determined to be 30 min which increased EE from 24.5% to 42% and zeta potential from (-)14.39 ± 8.55 mV to (-)18.92 ± 7.53 mV. In addition to selecting the appropriate surfactants and varying product composition concentrations, optimizing sonication parameters can be used to fine-tune niosomal properties to those most desirable for extended eye retainment and maintenance of long term stability.

Abstract
Unraveling the proteins interacting with nanoparticles (NPs) in biological fluids, such as blood, is pivotal to rationally design NPs for drug delivery. The protein corona (PrC), formed on the NP surface, represents an interface between biological components and NPs, dictating their pharmacokinetics and biodistribution. PrC composition depends on biological environments around NPs and on their intrinsic physicochemical properties. We generated different formulations of non-ionic surfactant/non-phospholipid vesicles, called niosomes (NIOs), using polysorbates which are biologically safe, cheap, non-toxic and scarcely immunogenic. PrC composition and relative protein abundance for all designed NIOs were evaluated ex vivo in human plasma (HP) by quantitative label-free proteomics. We studied the correlation of the relative protein abundance in the corona with cellular uptake of the PrC-NIOs in healthy and cancer human cell lines. Our results highlight the effects of polysorbates on nano-bio interactions to identify a protein pattern most properly aimed to drive the NIO targeting in vivo, and assess the best conditions of PrC-NIO NP uptake into the cells. This study dissected the biological identity in HP of polysorbate-NIOs, thus contributing to shorten their passage from preclinical to clinical studies and to lay the foundations for a personalized PrC.

Abstract
We have demonstrated the synthesis, characterization, and application of nitrogen-doped red-emitting carbon dots (NRCDs) for dual sensing of indium (In3+) and palladium (Pd2+) in water. The detection of In3+ was associated with "turn-on" fluorescence response with a red shift, while in the presence of Pd2+, the fluorescence intensity of NRCDs was quenched to show a "turn-off" response. The interaction of NRCDs with the metal ions was investigated using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy studies. The synthesized nanoprobes possessed good biocompatibility and photostability and were found to be suitable candidates for bioimaging due to their emission profiles in the near-infrared (NIR) window. Applicability of the as-prepared NRCDs was demonstrated in the NIR region when they were loaded in vesicle membranes with and without cations and subjected to confocal imaging successfully.

Abstract
Niosomes, liposomes and proniosomes are the most abundantly used vesicular systems for the transdermal delivery of drugs. Proniosomes are nonhydrated niosomes, which, upon hydration, form niosomes. Various researches have proved the advantages of proniosomes over the other conventional dosage forms currently available in the market. Proniosomes overcome physical stability problems involved with other vesicular systems such as leaking, fusion and aggregation. The stability and shelf life of proniosomes especially have been found to be much better and prolonged in comparison to other vesicular systems such as liposomes. The present review has been written in an effort to bring yet another viewpoint from a different angle and curated to compile the latest updates in this highly attractive delivery system from today's research point.

Abstract
Niosomes structural framework comprises of non-ionic surfactant-based microscopic lamellar structures which carries the potential to sustain the effect of drug from its delivery system. In present work, the attempt was made to identify the effect of different ingredients such as effect of Tweens and natural mucilage of Lallemantia royaleana Benth. on the performance of developed niosomal gel formulations in order to prolong the duration of action of drug and to minimize its side effects of topical conventional drug administration. All Ibuprofen loaded niosomes formulationswere prepared by ether injection method; using cetosteryl alcohol with different variants of Tweens and Spans. Various evaluation parameters were performed to confirm niosome formation. Further, the niosomes were incorporated into gel system and evaluated for in-vitro permeability study (ex-vivo) on excised rat skin by membrane diffusion method and in-vivo study by carrageenan induced rat paw edema model. The best selected niosome formulation F9 gave no sedimentation, layer separation and unchanged particle shapes and thus selected for gel preparation using Lallemantia royaleana Benth. mucilage and carbopol in different ratios. Ex-vivo and in-vivo studies indicated high skin retention and penetration rates within the skin for tests niosomal gel formulations (G1 & G2). The present study suggested that developed topical gel formulation provides enhance permeability and longer duration of drug action over conventional gels.

Abstract
Literature on bilgewater focuses on empirically determined treatment methods and lacks specific information on emulsion characteristics. Therefore, this review discusses potential emulsion stabilization mechanisms that occur in bilgewater and evaluates common approaches to study their behavior. Current knowledge on emulsion formation, stabilization, and destabilization is outlined to provide researchers and bilgewater treatment operators with the knowledge needed to determine emulsion prevention and treatment strategies. Furthermore, a broad assessment of bilgewater emulsion characterization techniques, from general water quality analysis to advanced droplet stability characterization methods are discussed in detail. Lastly, a survey of typical bilgewater characteristics and information on standard synthetic bilgewater mixtures used in the testing of oil pollution abatement equipment are presented. Overall, the goal of this article is to provide a better understanding of physical and thermodynamic properties of emulsions to help improve bilgewater treatment and management.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to prepare niosome formulations for the simultaneous encapsulation, dual drug therapy, of two anticancer drugs by the ecological probe sonication method. Poloxamer and sorbitan monostearate were used as surface active agents in niosomes, and the water soluble doxorubicin and poorly-water soluble paclitaxel were used as anticancer drugs. Thorough physicochemical analysis were performed for the niosomes, and their cytotoxicity and activity were evaluated on MCF-7 and PC3-MM2 cancer cell lines. Prepared niosomes were small in size with sizes ranging from 137 nm to 893 nm, and entrapment efficiencies were high, ranging from 91.24% to 99.99%. During the four weeks stability testing, the particle size remained stable. The niosomal formulations showed in vitro sustained drug release profiles for doxorubicin and clearly increased the dissolution rate of poorly water soluble paclitaxel. The incorporation of both the drugs into niosomes improved cell penetration and antiproliferative activity of the drugs PC3-MM2 cell lines. As a conclusion, doxorubicin and paclitaxel loaded niosome formulations resulted in relatively stable, small sized niosomes with improved drug release profiles, low toxicity, better cell penetration and antiproliferative activity. The niosomes showed synergistic effect due to the presence of both drugs, which can overcome multidrug resistance.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) display excellent plasmonic properties, which are expected to assist fluorescence enhancement for dyes, and the phenomenon is known as "metal-enhanced fluorescence" (MEF). In this study, we demonstrate AuNP-induced MEF for a modified bipyridine-based construct 4-(pyridine-2-yl)-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinoline (PPQ) when it binds with biologically important Zn2+. Importantly, this phenomenon is observed under aqueous conditions in a biocompatible bilayer vesicle platform. When PPQ binds with Zn2+ to form the complex in the presence of appropriate AuNPs, MEF is evident once compared with the fluorescence intensity in the absence of AuNPs. Among the three different sizes of AuNPs used, the enhancement is observed with an average diameter of 33 nm, whereas 18 and 160 nm do not show any enhancement. A possible mechanism is ascribed to the radiating plasmons of the AuNPs, which can couple with the emission frequencies of the fluorophore under a critical distance-dependent arrangement. We witness that the enhancement in fluorescence is accompanied with a reduction in lifetime components. It is proposed that the mechanism may be predominantly derived from the enhancement of an intrinsic radiative decay rate and partly from the localized electric field effect. Overall, this work shows a rational approach to design fluorophore-metal configurations with the desired emissive properties and a basis for a useful nanophotonic technology under biological conditions.

Long-Lasting, Antinociceptive Effects of pH-Sensitive Niosomes Loaded with Ibuprofen in Acute and Chronic Models of Pain. Pharmaceutics 2019; 11:pharmaceutics11020062.

Abstract
Ibuprofen is one of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) widely used to treat pain conditions. NSAIDs encounter several obstacles to passing across biological membranes. To overcome these constraints, we decided to study the effects of a new pH-sensitive formulation of niosomes containing Polysorbate 20 derivatized by Glycine and loaded with ibuprofen (NioIbu) in several animal models of pain in mice. We performed two tests commonly used to study acute antinociceptive activity, namely the writhing test and the capsaicin test. Our results demonstrated that NioIbu, administered 2 h before testing, reduced nociception, whereas the free form of ibuprofen was ineffective. In a model of inflammatory pain, hyperalgesia induced by zymosan, NioIbu induced a long-lasting reduction in hyperalgesia in treated mice. In a model of neuropathic pain induced by sciatic nerve chronic constriction, NioIbu reduced both neuropathy-induced allodynia and hyperalgesia. The results obtained in our experiments suggest that pH-sensitive niosomes containing Polysorbate 20 derivatized by Glycine is an effective model for NSAIDs delivery, providing durable antinociceptive effects and reducing the incidence of side effects.

Enhancing the Therapeutic Efficacy of Tamoxifen Citrate Loaded Span-Based Nano-Vesicles on Human Breast Adenocarcinoma Cells. AAPS PharmSciTech 2018; 19:1529-1543. [PMID: 29470829 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-018-0962-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2017] [Accepted: 01/23/2018] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Serious adverse effects and low selectivity to cancer cells are the main obstacles of long term therapy with Tamoxifen (Tmx). This study aimed to develop Tmx-loaded span-based nano-vesicles for delivery to malignant tissues with maximum efficacy. The effect of three variables on vesicle size (Y1), zeta potential (Y2), entrapment efficiency (Y3) and the cumulative percent release after 24 h (Y4) were optimized using Box-Behnken design. The optimized formula was prepared and tested for its stability in different storage conditions. The observed values for the optimized formula were 310.2 nm, - 42.09 mV, 75.45 and 71.70% for Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4, respectively. The examination using electron microscopy confirmed the formation of rounded vesicles with distinctive bilayer structure. Moreover, the cytotoxic activity of the optimized formula on both breast cancer cells (MCF-7) and normal cells (BHK) showed enhanced selectivity (9.4 folds) on cancerous cells with IC50 values 4.7 ± 1.5 and 44.3 ± 1.3 μg/ml on cancer and normal cells, respectively. While, free Tmx exhibited lower selectivity (2.5 folds) than optimized nano-vesicles on cancer cells with IC50 values of 9.0 ± 1.1 μg/ml and 22.5 ± 5.3 μg/ml on MCF-7 and BHK cells, respectively. The promising prepared vesicular system, with greater efficacy and selectivity, provides a marvelous tool to overcome breast cancer treatment challenges.

Fliposomes: trans-2-aminocyclohexanol-based amphiphiles as pH-sensitive conformational switches of liposome membrane - a structure-activity relationship study. Chem Phys Lipids 2017; 210:129-141. [PMID: 29111431 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2017.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2017] [Revised: 10/10/2017] [Accepted: 10/11/2017] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Recently developed lipids with the trans-2-aminocyclohexanol (TACH) moiety represent unique pH-sensitive conformational switches ("flipids") that can trigger the membrane of liposome-based drug delivery systems at lowered pH as seen in many pathological scenarios. A library of flipids with various TACH-based headgroups and hydrocarbon tails were designed, prepared, and characterized to systematically elucidate the relationship between their chemical structures and their ability to form and to trigger liposomes. Liposomes (fliposomes) consisting of a flipid, POPC and PEG-ceramide were stable at 4°C, pH 7.4 for up to several months and yet released the encapsulated fluorophore in seconds upon acidification. The colloidal properties and encapsulation efficiencies of the fliposomes depended on the structure features of the flipids such as the polarity of the headgroups and the shape and fluidity of the lipid tails. The pH-triggered release also depended on the flipid structure, where shorter linear tails yielded more efficient release. The release of fliposomes was enhanced at different narrow pH ranges, depending on the basicity of the flipid headgroup, which can be estimated either by calculated pKa or by acid/base titration of the flipids while its conformation is monitored by 1H NMR. The structure-activity relationship of the flipids supports "lipid tail conformational shortening" as the mechanism to disrupt lipid membranes and would provide great flexibility in the design of pH-sensitive drug delivery systems.

Abstract
In this study, the feasibility of ultrasonic processing (UP) technique as green preparation method for production of poorly soluble model drug substance, diacerein, loaded niosomes was demonstrated. Also, the effects of different surfactant systems on niosomes' characteristics were analyzed. Niosomes were prepared using both the green UP technique and traditional thin-film hydration (TFH) technique, which requires the use of environmentally hazardous organic solvents. The studied surfactant systems were Span 20, Pluronic L64, and their mixture (Span 20 and Pluronic L64). Both the production techniques produced well-defined spherical vesicles, but the UP technique produced smaller and more monodisperse niosomes than TFH. The entrapment efficiencies with the UP method were lower than with TFH, but still at a feasible level. All the niosomal formulations released diacerein faster than pure drug, and the drug release rates from the niosomes produced by the UP method were higher than those from the TFH-produced niosomes. With UP technique, the optimum process conditions for small niosomal products with low PDI values and high entrapment efficiencies were obtained when 70% amplitude and 45-min sonication time were used. The overall results demonstrated the potency of UP technique as an alternative fast, cost-effective, and green preparation approach for production of niosomes, which can be utilized as drug carrier systems for poorly soluble drug materials.

Abstract
pH-sensitive nonionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) by polysorbate-20 (Tween-20) or polysorbate-20 derivatized by glycine (added as pH sensitive agent), were developed to deliver Ibuprofen (IBU) and Lidocaine (LID). For the physical-chemical characterization of vesicles (mean size, size distribution, zeta potential, vesicle morphology, bilayer properties and stability) dynamic light scattering (DLS), small angle X-ray scattering and fluorescence studies were performed. Potential cytotoxicity was evaluated on immortalized human keratinocyte cells (HaCaT) and on immortalized mouse fibroblasts Balb/3T3. In vivo antinociceptive activity (formalin test) and anti-inflammatory activity tests (paw edema induced by zymosan) in murine models were performed on drug-loaded niosomes. pH-sensitive niosomes were stable in the presence of 0 and 10% fetal bovine serum, non-cytotoxic and able to modify IBU or LID pharmacological activity in vivo. The synthesis of stimuli responsive surfactant, as an alternative to add pH-sensitive molecules to niosomes, could represent a promising delivery strategy for anesthetic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
Lipid vesicular systems composed of hydrated amphihiles with or without bilayer inducing agents such as cholesterol. On the basis of used amphiphilic molecule different nomenclature are used as liposomes, ufasomes and niosomes. Nonionic surfactants with mono-, di- or trialkyl chains form niosomes which are lipid vesicles with more chemical stability in comparison with phospholipids of liposomes. Both hydrophobic and hydrophilic chemicals can be encapsulated in niosomes as a new drug delivery system. This drug carrier system could have administered via injection, oral, pulmonary, vaginal, rectal, ophthalmic, nasal or transdermal routes with penetration enhancing potential. This chapter presents a detailed explain about niosome forming components, methods of preparation and routes of administration. Many examples for drug delivery potential of niosomes are also available in this review. Vaccine adjuvant and genetic substances vector capabilities are not given here.

Abstract
The use of nanocarriers, which respond to different stimuli controlling their physicochemical properties and biological responsivness, shows a growing interest in pharmaceutical science. The stimuli are activated by targeting tissues and biological compartments, e.g., pH modification, temperature, redox condition, enzymatic activity, or can be physically applied, e.g., a magnetic field and ultrasound. pH modification represents the easiest method of passive targeting, which is actually used to accumulate nanocarriers in cells and tissues. The aim of this paper was to physicochemically characterize pH-sensitive niosomes using different experimental conditions and demonstrate the effect of surfactant composition on the supramolecular structure of niosomes. In this attempt, niosomes, made from commercial (Tween21) and synthetic surfactants (Tween20 derivatives), were physicochemically characterized by using different techniques, e.g., transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering. The changes of niosome structure at different pHs depend on surfactants, which can affect the supramolecular structure of colloidal nanocarriers and their potential use both in vitro and in vivo. At pH 7.4, the shape and structure of niosomes have been maintained; however, niosomes show some differences in terms of bilayer thicknesses, water penetration, membrane coupling, and cholesterol dispersion. The acid pH (5.5) can increase the bilayer fluidity, and affect the cholesterol depletion. In fact, Tween21 niosomes form large vesicles with lower curvature radius at acid pH; while Tween20-derivative niosomes increase the intrachain mobility within a more interchain correlated membrane. These results demonstrate that the use of multiple physicochemical procedures provides more information about supramolecular structures of niosomes and improves the opportunity to deeply investigate the effect of stimuli responsiveness on the niosome structure.

Abstract
Myosin, a major muscle protein, can be solubilised in a low ionic strength solution containing L-histidine (His). To elucidate which chemical constituents in His are responsible for this solubilisation, we investigated the effects of 5mM His, imidazole (Imi), L-α-alanine (Ala), 1-methyl-L-histidine (M-his) and L-carnosine (Car) on particle properties of myosin suspensions and conformational characteristics of soluble myosin at low ionic strength (1 mM KCl, pH 7.5). His, Imi and Car, each containing an imidazole ring, were able to induce a myosin suspension, which had small particle size species and high absolute zeta potential, thus increasing the solubility of myosin. His, Imi and Car affected the tertiary structure and decreased the α-helix content of soluble myosin. Therefore, the imidazole ring of His appeared to be the significant chemical constituent in solubilising myosin at low ionic strength solution, presumably by affecting its secondary structure.

Abstract
Synthetic compounds derived from cinnamic acid were tested in cultures containing the promastigote form of Leishmania amazonensis and the dimethylsulphoxide solution of B2 compound (2.0 mg/mL) led to a 92% decrease of leishmania in 96 h of treatment. Then, different liposomal systems (diameters ∼200 nm) were prepared by the extrusion method in the presence and absence of compounds studied. DSC thermograms of the liposomes in the presence of these compounds caused changes in ΔH, Tm and ΔT1/2, compared to controls, indicating that there was an interaction of the compounds with the lipid bilayer. Assays with negatively charged liposomal systems containing these drugs in L. amazonensis cultures led to a 50-80% decrease in the number of leishmanias with a concentration to 100 times lower when compared to the B2 initial test. These liposomal systems are promoting more interaction and delivery of the compounds and proved to be an efficient, stable and promising system.

Abstract
Targeted drug delivery has been the major topic in drug formulation and delivery. As nanomedicine emerges to create nano scale therapeutics and diagnostics, it is still essential to embed targeting capability to these novel systems to make them useful. Here we discuss various targeting approaches for delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic nano materials in view of search for more universal methods to target diseased tissues. Many diseases are accompanied with hypoxia and acidosis. Coating nanoparticles with pH Low Insertion Peptides (pHLIPs) increases efficiency of targeting acidic diseased tissues. It has been showing promising results to create future nanotheranostics for cancer and other diseases which are dominating in the present world.
