Abstract
The skin is essential for body protection and regulating physiological processes. It is the largest organ and serves as the first-line barrier against UV radiation, harmful substances, and infections. Skin cancer is considered the most prevalent type of cancer worldwide, while melanoma skin cancer is having high mortality rates. Skin cancer, including melanoma and non-melanoma forms, is primarily caused by prolonged exposure to UV sunlight and pollution. Currently, treatments for skin cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, several factors hinder the effectiveness of these treatments, such as low efficacy, the necessity for high concentrations of active components to achieve a therapeutic effect, and poor drug permeation into the stratum corneum or lesions. Additionally, low bioavailability at the target site necessitates high doses, leading to skin irritation and further obstructing drug absorption through the stratum corneum. To overcome these challenges, recent research focuses on developing a medication delivery system based on nanotechnology as an alternative to this traditional approach. Nano-drug delivery systems have demonstrated great promise in treating skin cancer by providing a more effective means of delivering drugs with better stability and drug absorption. An overview of various lipid-based nanocarriers is given in this review article that are utilized to carry natural compounds to treat skin cancer.

A Critical Appraisal of the Protective Activity of Polyphenolic Antioxidants against Iatrogenic Effects of Anticancer Chemotherapeutics. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:133. [PMID: 38275658 PMCID: PMC10812703 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13010133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Polyphenolic compounds, encompassing flavonoids (e.g., quercetin, rutin, and cyanidin) and non-flavonoids (e.g., gallic acid, resveratrol, and curcumin), show several health-related beneficial effects, which include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antiviral, and anticarcinogenic properties, as well as the prevention of coronary heart diseases. Polyphenols have also been investigated for their counteraction against the adverse effects of common anticancer chemotherapeutics. This review evaluates the outcomes of clinical studies (and related preclinical data) over the last ten years, with a focus on the use of polyphenols in chemotherapy as auxiliary agents acting against oxidative stress toxicity induced by antitumor drugs. While further clinical studies are needed to establish adequate doses and optimal delivery systems, the improvement in polyphenols' metabolic stability and bioavailability, through the implementation of nanotechnologies that are currently being investigated, could improve therapeutic applications of their pharmaceutical or nutraceutical preparations in tumor chemotherapy.

N-lauric-O-carboxymethyl chitosan: Synthesis, characterization and application as a pH-responsive carrier for curcumin particles. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128421. [PMID: 38013085 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128421] [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: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
A pH-responsive amphiphilic chitosan derivative, N-lauric-O-carboxymethyl chitosan (LA-CMCh), is synthesized. Its molecular structures are characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, and XRD methods. The influencing factors are investigated, including the amount of lauric acid (LA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh), N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), and their molar ratio, reaction time, and reaction temperature on the substitution. The degrees of substitution (DS) of the lauric groups on the -NH2 groups are calculated based on the integrated data of 1H NMR spectra. The optimum reaction condition is obtained as a reaction time of 6 h, a reaction temperature of 80 °C, and a molar ratio of lauric acid to O-carboxymethyl chitosan to N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride to N-hydroxysuccinimide of 1:3:4.5:4.5, respectively. The crystallinity and initial decomposition temperature of LA-CMCh decrease, but the maximum decomposition temperature increases. The crystallinity is reduced due to the introduction of LA and the degree of hydrogen bonding among LA-CMCh molecules. LA-CMCh could self-aggregate into particles, which size and critical aggregation concentration depend on the degree of substitution and medium pH. LA-CMCh aggregates could load curcumin up to 21.70 %, and continuously release curcumin for >200 min. LA-CMCh shows nontoxicity to fibroblast HFF-1 cells and good antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli, indicating that it could be used as an oil-soluble-drug carrier.

Optimizing nanoliposomal formulations: Assessing factors affecting entrapment efficiency of curcumin-loaded liposomes using machine learning. Int J Pharm 2023; 646:123414. [PMID: 37714314 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Curcumin faces challenges in clinical applications due to its low bioavailability and poor water solubility. Liposomes have emerged as a promising delivery system for curcumin. This study aims to apply ensemble learning, a machine learning technique, to determine the most effective experimental conditions for formulating stable curcumin-loaded liposomes with a high entrapment efficiency (EE). METHODS Two liposomal formulations composed of HSPC:DPPG:Chol:DSPE-mPEG2000 and HSPC:Chol:DSPE-mPEG2000 at 55:5:35:5 and 55:40:5 M ratios, respectively, were prepared using the remote loading method, and their particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) were determined using Dynamic Light Scattering. To model the impact of five factors (molar ratios, particle size, sonication time, pH, and PDI) on EE%, the Least-squares boosting (LSBoost) ensemble learning algorithm was employed due to its capability to effectively handle nonlinear and non-stationary problems. The implementation and optimization of LSBoost were performed using MATLAB R2020a. The dataset was randomly split into training and testing sets, with 70% allocated for training. The mean absolute error (MAE) was used as the cost function to evaluate model performance. Additionally, a novel approach was employed to visualize the results using 3D plots, facilitating practical interpretation. RESULTS The optimal model exhibited an MAE of 3.61, indicating its robust predictive capability. The study identified several optimal conditions for achieving the highest EE value of 100%. However, to ensure both the highest EE value and a suitable particle size, it is recommended to set the following conditions: a molar ratio of 55:5:35:5, a PDI within the range of 0.09-0.13, a particle size of approximately 130 nm, a sonication time of 30 min, and a pH within the range of 7.2-8. It is worth mentioning that adjusting the molar ratio to 55:40:5 resulted in a maximum EE of 88.38%. CONCLUSION These findings underscore the high performance of ensemble learning in accurately predicting and optimizing the EE of the curcumin-loaded liposomes. The application of this technique provides valuable insights and holds promise for the development of efficient drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a major cause of death globally, accounting for around 13% of all deaths. Chemotherapy, the common treatment for cancer, can have side effects that lead to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and an increase in oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants are important for maintaining the health of cells and helping the immune system function properly. They play a crucial role in balancing the body's internal environment. Using natural antioxidants is an alternative to mitigate the harmful effects of oxidative stress. However, around 80% of natural antioxidants have limited effectiveness when taken orally because they do not dissolve well in water or other solvents. This poor solubility affects their ability to be absorbed by the body and limits their bioavailability. One strategy that has been considered is to increase their water solubility to increase their oral bioavailability. Chitosan-based nanoparticle (CSNP) systems have been extensively explored due to their reliability and simpler synthesis routes. This review focuses on the various methods of chitosan-based nanoformulation for developing effective oral dosage forms for natural antioxidants based on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics properties. Chitosan (CS) could be a model, because of its wide use in polymeric NPs research, thus providing a better understanding of the role of vehicles that carry natural antioxidants in maintaining the stability and enhancing the performance of cancer drugs.

Abstract
The skin is a complex and selective system from the perspective of permeability to substances from the external environment. Microemulsion systems have demonstrated a high performance in encapsulating, protecting and transporting active substances through the skin. Due to the low viscosity of microemulsion systems and the importance of a texture that is easy to apply in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical fields, gel microemulsions are increasingly gaining more interest. The aim of this study was to develop new microemulsion systems for topical use; to identify a suitable water-soluble polymer in order to obtain gel microemulsions; and to study the efficacy of the developed microemulsion and gel microemulsion systems in the delivery of a model active ingredient, namely curcumin, into the skin. A pseudo-ternary phase diagram was developed using AKYPO® SOFT 100 BVC, PLANTACARE® 2000 UP Solution and ethanol as a surfactant mix; caprylic/capric triglycerides, obtained from coconut oil, as the oily phase; and distilled water. To obtain gel microemulsions, sodium hyaluronate salt was used. All these ingredients are safe for the skin and are biodegradable. The selected microemulsions and gel microemulsions were physicochemically characterized by means of dynamic light scattering, electrical conductivity, polarized microscopy and rheometric measurements. To evaluate the efficiency of the selected microemulsion and gel microemulsion to deliver the encapsulated curcumin, an in vitro permeation study was performed.

Abstract
N,N,N-Trimethyl chitosan (TMC), a biocompatible and biodegradable derivative of chitosan, is currently used as a permeation enhancer to increase the translocation of drugs to the bloodstream in the lungs. This article discusses the effect of TMC on a mimetic pulmonary surfactant, Curosurf®, a low-viscosity lipid formulation administered to preterm infants with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Curosurf® exhibits a strong interaction with TMC, resulting in the formation of aggregates at electrostatic charge stoichiometry. At nanoscale, Curosurf® undergoes a profound reorganization of its lipid vesicles in terms of size and lamellarity. The initial micron-sized vesicles (average size 4.8 μm) give way to a froth-like network of unilamellar vesicles about 300 nm in size. Under such conditions, neutralization of the cationic charges by pulmonary surfactant may inhibit TMC permeation enhancer capacity, especially as electrostatic charge complexation is found at low TMC content. The permeation properties of pulmonary surfactant-neutralized TMC should then be evaluated for its applicability as a permeation enhancer for inhalation in the alveolar region.

Abstract
Despite having tremendous medicinal benefits, the practical applications of curcumin are limited, owing to two major challenges: poor aqueous solubility and lack of bioavailability. In this regard, biosurfactant-based micellar systems have surged recently for the development of novel and more effective formulations because of their biological relevance. This study deals with a comprehensive and comparative investigation on the effect of seven structurally different steroidal surfactants on the photophysical properties of curcumin and also evaluates these steroidal surfactants as possible drug delivery media for curcumin. The photophysical properties of curcumin exhibited a strong dependence on the structure of the steroidal surfactant; the extent of excited-state proton transfer between curcumin and the surfactants depends strongly on the type of the side chain in the surfactants, which mostly dictates the photophysics of curcumin in the presence of these structural variants. The solubility of curcumin and its stability at different pHs and temperatures and in the presence of salt are significantly enhanced in the presence of these surfactants. Furthermore, the curcumin-loaded micelles exhibited improved intracellular uptake and cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cancer cells than pristine curcumin. Among these steroidal surfactants, CHAPS, the zwitterionic derivative of cholic acid, was the most efficient one to offer better solubility and stability to curcumin under all conditions, and the death rate of MCF-7 cells by curcumin was found to be the highest in the presence of CHAPS, indicating the enhanced bioavailability of curcumin. Therefore, CHAPS-based colloids are found to be promising candidates as potential drug carriers for curcumin.

Abstract
Multivitamin-loaded and surface-modified liposomes tailored for simultaneous intestinal delivery of both lipophilic and hydrophilic bioactives were synthesized from sunflower phosphatidylcholine (SFPC). Liposomes (SL) were generated with the aid of a novel, organic solvent free, and environmentally benign process which utilizes venturi-based rapid expansion of supercritical solution (Vent-RESS). Vitamins E and C were used as model lipophilic and hydrophilic bioactives and demonstrated an average encapsulation efficiency of 92 and 70 %, respectively. Synthesized liposomes were coated with a pH-responsive double-wall of chitosan and β-lactoglobulin (βlg-Cs-SL) to develop a biocompatible vehicle for pH-triggered delivery of bioactive cargo(s). To compare the efficacy of this newly developed dual-coating, SL was also coated with a commercially available pH responsive polymer, Eudragit® S100 (Eu-SL). No organic solvent was used during the surface coating of SLs with these two different types of enteric coatings. The performance of these two coatings was studied by conducting morphological characterization through diameter and ζ-potential measurements along with confocal laser scanning and freeze-fracture cryogenic scanning electron microscopies. The stability of coated and uncoated SFPC liposomes was determined in simulated gastrointestinal fluids. For βlg-Cs-SL and Eu-SL, after 2 h of incubation in simulated gastric condition, less than 5 % of the encapsulated vitamins C and E were released, whereas for SL, 41 and 28 % of vitamins C and E were released within 2 h of incubation period. In simulated intestinal fluid, coated liposomes released most of their remaining payload when incubated for 4 h. The newly developed dual coating was found to be as effective as its commercially available counterpart, Eudragit® S100 coating; nevertheless, the biocompatible, non-toxic, and non-synthetic nature of this coating makes it an attractive alternative. Modeling the release kinetics of vitamins from coated liposome showed that the release of payload from surface coated liposomes proceeded through a multistep structural disintegration involving both Fickian and non-Fickian types of diffusion. The ability of these surface-coated liposomes to maintain structural integrity under the gastric condition followed by site-specific, pH-triggered release of encapsulated cargo in the intestine will make them highly suitable for oral administration of bioactive compounds in pharmaceutical and food applications.

Curcumin Modulates 1,2-dibehenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DBPC) Liposomes: Chitosan Oligosaccharide Lactate Influences Membrane Fluidity But Does Not Alter Phase Transition Temperature of DBPC Liposomes. J Fluoresc 2021; 32:155-163.

Abstract
1,2-dibehenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DBPC) is one of the important phospholipids found in cell membrane but not studied well. Importance of curcumin as a dietary supplement and for its medicinal properites is getting widely recoginsed. The present study for the first time explores the effect of curcumin on properties of DBPC liposomes by monitoring the fluorescence properties of curcumin. The phase transition temperature (Tm) of DBPC is assessed which confirms increase in curcumin concentration causes a slight drop in the Tm value. Chitosan is being applied for various drug delivery uses. The study establishes new insight on effect of chitosan oligosaccharide lactate on DBPC liposomes. It is found that in the absence of chitosan oligosaccharide lactate, curcumin partitions more strongly in the liquids crystalline phase than in the solid gel phase, however, the opposite result is obtained with the presence of chitosan oligosaccharide lactate which penetrates into the DBPC liposomes membranes at higher temperature, blocking thus the passage of curcumin into the lipid bilayer. However, addition of chitosan oligosaccharide lactate had no effect on the Tm. Fluorescence quenching study of curcumin establishes that the location of curcumin to be in the hydrophobic cavity of DBPC membrane.

Abstract
Present study prepared curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes using bovine milk, krill phospholipids and cholesterol; and investigated the effects of cholesterol on membrane characteristics, storage stability and antibacterial properties of the curcumin nanoliposomes. Bovine milk phospholipids which have higher saturation than krill phospholipids resulted in formation of curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes with higher encapsulation efficiency (84.78%), larger absolute value of zeta potential and vesicle size (size: 159.15 ± 5.27 nm, zeta potential: -28.3 ± 0.62 mV). Cholesterol helps to formation of a more hydrophobic, compact and tighter bilayer membrane structure which improved the storage stability of nanoliposomes under alkaline (66.25 ± 0.46%), heat (43.25 ± 0.69%) and sunlight (49.44 ± 1.78%) conditions. In addition, curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes can effectively target infectious bacteria which secrete pore-forming toxins such as Staphylococcus aureus by causing the bacterial cell wall to lysis. Findings from present work can guide future development of novel antibacterial agents for use in food preservation.

Abstract
Plants constitute a rich source of diverse classes of valuable phytochemicals (e.g., phenolic acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, alkaloids) with proven biological activity (e.g., antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, etc.). However, factors such as low stability, poor solubility and bioavailability limit their food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications. In this regard, a wide range of delivery systems have been developed to increase the stability of plant-derived bioactive compounds upon processing, storage or under gastrointestinal digestion conditions, to enhance their solubility, to mask undesirable flavors as well as to efficiently deliver them to the target tissues where they can exert their biological activity and promote human health. In the present review, the latest advances regarding the design of innovative delivery systems for pure plant bioactive compounds, extracts or essential oils, in order to overcome the above-mentioned challenges, are presented. Moreover, a broad spectrum of applications along with future trends are critically discussed.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur), a hydrophobic active pharmaceutical ingredient with high anticancer activity, has poor water solubility and low bioavailability. Although many delivery systems have been developed to improve their bioavailability, some limitation such as low drug loading efficiency and poor stability are still remained. The metal-polyphenol networks (MPNs) delivery system designed in this subject solved above problems and effectively improved the anticancer activity of Cur. The synthesized Cur@EGCG-Fe(III) is consisting of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), iron chloride (FeCl3) and Cur, and the well-designed structure endow Cur@EGCG-Fe(III) high loading efficiency, good water solubility and stability. After the Cur@EGCG-Fe(III) nanoparticles were internalized by MCF-7 cells, the Cur could be released in endo/lysosomal microenvironment (pH = 5.0), and the Cur delivery in the deep tumor could be realized. The distribution of Cur@EGCG-Fe(III) in MCF-7 cells was analyzed by laser confocal, and Cur@EGCG-Fe(III) could effectively deliver more Cur into MCF-7 cells in comparison with free Cur. In addition, the results of flow cytometry and western blot further indicated that Cur@EGCG-Fe(III) had a stronger ability to induce apoptosis than free Cur. Transwell cell migration and invasion experiments showed that Cur and EGCG-Fe(III) had a synergistic effect in inhibiting MCF-7 cell migration and invasion. In vitro hemolysis and in vivo experiments showed that the Cur@EGCG-Fe(III) had negligible effect on the blood environment and a great tumor-inhibition efficacy, indicating that the MPNs delivery system had a good blood compatibility and antitumor activity. Our results indicated that MPNs-coated Cur nanoparticle could be a new form of Cur delivery system for anticancer application.

Abstract
Ruthenium complexes have increased the scope for improvement in current cancer treatment by replacing platinum-based drugs. However, to reduce metal-associated toxicity, a biocompatible flavonoid, such as curcumin, is indispensable, as it offers uncompensated therapeutic benefits through formation of complexes. In this study, we synthesized metal-based flavonoid complexes using ruthenium(II) and curcumin by adopting a convenient reflux reaction, represented as Ru-Cur complexes. These complexes were thoroughly characterized using 1H, 13C NMR, XPS, FT-IR, and UV-vis spectroscopy. As curcumin is sparingly soluble in water and has poor chemical stability, we loaded Ru-Cur complexes into liposomes and further formed nanoparticles (NPs) using the thin layer evaporation method. These were named Ru-Cur loaded liposome nanoparticles (RCLNPs). The effects of RCLNPs on cell proliferation was investigated using human cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa). These RCLNPs exhibited significant cytotoxicity in HeLa cells. The anticancer properties of RCLNPs were studied using reactive oxygen species (ROS), LDH, and MTT assays as well as live-dead staining. Nuclear damage studies of RCLNPs were performed in HeLa cells using the Hoechst staining assay.

Abstract
Conventional liposomes still face many challenges associated with the poor physical and chemical stability, considerable loss of encapsulated cargo, lack of stimulus responsiveness, and rapid elimination from blood circulation. Integration of versatile functional biopolymers has emerged as an attractive strategy to overcome the limitation of usage of liposomes. This review comprehensively summarizes the most recent studies (2015-2020) and their challenges aiming at the exploration of biopolymer-liposome hybrid systems, including surface-modified liposomes, biopolymer-incorporated liposomes, guest-in-cyclodextrin-in-liposome, liposome-in-hydrogel, liposome-in-film, and liposome-in-nanofiber. The physicochemical principles and key technical information underlying the combined strategies for the fabrication of polymeric liposomes, the advantages and limitations of each of the systems, and the stabilization mechanisms are discussed through various case studies. Special emphasis is directed toward the synergistic efficiencies of biopolymers and phospholipid bilayers on encapsulation, protection, and controlled delivery of bioactives (e.g., vitamins, carotenoids, phenolics, peptides, and other health-related compounds) for the biomedical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and functional food applications. The major challenges, opportunities, and possible further developments for future studies are also highlighted.

Abstract
Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of skin cancer with a very poor prognosis and excessive resistance to current conventional treatments. Recently, the application of the liposomal delivery system in the management of skin melanoma has been widely investigated. Liposomal nanocarriers are biocompatible and less toxic to host cells, enabling the efficient and safe delivery of different therapeutic agents into the tumor site and further promoting their antitumor activities. Therefore, the liposomal delivery system effectively increases the success of current melanoma therapies and overcomes resistance. In this review, we present an overview of liposome-based targeted drug delivery methods and highlight recent advances towards the development of liposome-based carriers for therapeutic genes. We also discuss the new insights regarding the efficacy and clinical significance of combinatorial treatment of liposomal formulations with immunotherapy and conventional therapies in melanoma patients for a better understanding and successfully managing cancer.

Abstract
In recent years, liposomes have gained increasing attention for their potential applications as drug delivery systems in the pharmaceutic, cosmetic and food industries. However, they have a tendency to aggregate and are sensitive to degradation caused by several factors, which may limit their effectiveness. A promising approach to improve liposomal stability is to modify liposomal surfaces by forming polymeric layers. Among natural polymers, chitosan has received great interest due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. This review discussed the characteristics of this combined system, called chitosomes, in comparison to those of conventional liposomes. The coating of liposomes with chitosan or its derivatives improved liposome stability, provided sustained drug release and increased drug penetration across mucus layers. The mechanisms behind these results are highlighted in this paper. Alternative assembly of polyelectrolytes using alginate, sodium hyaluronate, or pectin with chitosan could further improve the liposomal characteristics. Chitosomal encapsulation could also ensure targeted delivery and boost the antimicrobial efficacy of essential oils (EOs). Moreover, chitosomes could be an efficient tool to overcome the major drawbacks related to the chemical properties of EOs (low water solubility, sensitivity to oxygen, light, heat, and humidity) and their poor bioavailability. Overall, chitosomes could be considered as a promising strategy to enlarge the use of liposomes.

Abstract
The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens has become a global threat and a cause of significant morbidity and mortality around the world. Natural products have been used as a promising approach to counter the infectious diseases associated with these pathogens. The application of natural products and their derivatives especially polyphenolic compounds as antibacterial agents is an active area of research, and prior studies have successfully treated a variety of bacterial infections using these polyphenolic compounds. However, delivery of polyphenolic compounds has been challenging due to their physicochemical properties and often poor aqueous solubility. In this regard, nanotechnology-based novel drug delivery systems offer many advantages, including improving bioavailability and the controlled release of polyphenolic compounds. This review summarizes the pharmacological mechanism and use of nano-formulations in developing controlled release delivery systems of naturally occurring polyphenols in infectious diseases.

Abstract
The developing public interest in traditional medicine, especially plants-based drug, has prompted extensive research on the potential of naturally existing compounds. Among these compounds, curcumin is currently one of the most studied substances. In this study, we elaborate the physical properties of diarachidonyl phosphatidyl choline (DAPC) liposome using fluorescence method, where curcumin at low concentration was used as a probe molecule. In the first place, the phase transition temperature of DAPC was determined by following the fluorescence intensity of curcumin as a function of temperature, along with evaluating the effect of concentration of curcumin in the presence or absence of chitosan oligosaccharide lactate as an additional protective layer. On the other hand, quenching reactions using CPB and KI as quenchers reflected the ease of entry of different concentrations of these quenchers to the curcumin located in the hydrophobic core of the liposome which give new insight about the lipophilicity and permeability of the DAPC membrane. Finally, the partition coefficient analysis was investigated. It was concluded that curcumin has a higher partition coefficient at a temperature above the phase transition temperature of DAPC liposomes where the liposome is in the fluid liquid crystalline phase. Modulation of liposomes properties in the presence of chitosan oligosaccharide lactate layer was for the first time investigated. Chitosan oligosaccharide lactate acts as protecting layer without changing the phase transition temperature, but it affects the membrane permeability depending on solid gel and liquid crystalline phase.

Abstract
Low water solubility frequently compromises the therapeutic efficacy of drugs and other biologically active molecules. Here, we report on coacervate polysaccharide nanoparticles (CPNs) that can transport and release a model hydrophobic drug, piroxicam, to the cells in response to changes in temperature. The proposed, temperature-responsive drug delivery system is based on ionic derivatives of natural polysaccharides—curdlan and hydroxypropyl cellulose. Curdlan was modified with trimethylammonium groups, while the anionic derivative of hydroxypropyl cellulose was obtained by the introduction of styrenesulfonate groups. Thermally responsive nanoparticles of spherical shape and average hydrodynamic diameter in the range of 250–300 nm were spontaneously formed in water from the obtained ionic polysaccharides as a result of the coacervation process. Their morphology was visualized using SEM and AFM. The size and the surface charge of the obtained objects could be tailored by adjusting the polycation/polyanion ratio. Piroxicam (PIX) was effectively entrapped inside the nanoparticles. The release profile of the drug from the CPNs-PIX was found to be temperature-dependent in the range relevant for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The pharmacological propensities of curcumin have been reported in a plethora of pre-clinical and clinical studies. However, innate attributes account for extremely low oral bioavailability which impedes its development as a therapeutic agent. Regardless, these drawbacks have not deterred researchers from optimizing its potentials. This review discussed the pharmacokinetic properties of curcumin relative to its outlook as a lead compound in drug discovery. Also, we highlighted therapeutic strategies that have expedited improvements in curcumin oral bioavailability and delivery to target sites over the years. Recent implementations of these strategies were also covered. More research efforts should be directed towards investigating the pharmacokinetic impacts of these novel curcumin formulations in human clinical studies since inter-species disparities could limit the accuracies of animal studies. We envisaged that integrative-clinical research would help determine 'actual' improvements in curcumin pharmacokinetics coupled with suitable administrative routes, optimal dosing, and drug-enzyme or drug-drug interactions. In addition, this could help determine formulations for achieving higher systemic exposure of parent curcumin thereby providing a strong impetus towards the development of curcumin as a drug candidate in disease treatment.

Abstract
The nanoemulsion-based delivery systems have gained particular attention due to effective encapsulation and protection of hydrophobic active compounds. However, several features like limited stability, cellular uptake or release of payloads still need to be addressed. We investigated the uptake of the nanocapsules based on the amphiphilic derivative of hyaluronate with oleic acid cores (oil-in-water nanoemulsion) and their anticancer activity in vitro. The core-shell nanocapsules exhibiting long term stability in dispersion showed an enhanced uptake by cancer cells and effectively killed them only if composed of hyaluronate-based shells and oleic acid cores - the anionic chitosan-based shells and/or corn oil cores were used for control experiments. We concluded that the nanocapsules stabilized by the amphiphilic derivative of hyaluronic acid may serve as very stable and efficient delivery systems for oil-soluble compounds without necessity of application of low molecular weight (co)surfactants. The in vitro studies indicated anticancer activity of such delivered oleic acid and crucial role of hyaluronate shell of the nanocapsules in its efficient delivery and enzyme-triggered disintegration inside cells. Corn oil was shown as a nutrient that can serve as an inert vehicle in the studied nanoemulsion that exhibit application potential in food, dietary supplement industry and medicine.

Abstract
The aim of the present work was to fabricate the curcumin-loaded rhamnolipid nanoparticles using the pH-driven method to enhance the physicochemical stability and redispersibility of curcumin. The mixture of curcumin and rhamnolipid could be spontaneously assembled into the curcumin-loaded rhamnolipid nanoparticles with a small size (107 nm) and negative charge (-45.5 mV). Curcumin molecules could bind to rhamnolipid molecules through hydrophobic effects and hydrogen bonds. The effect of different mass ratios of rhamnolipid and curcumin (1:2, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 6:1, and 8:1) on the functional property of the curcumin-loaded rhamnolipid nanoparticles was investigated. With the rise of rhamnolipid and curcumin mass ratio, the encapsulation efficiency of curcumin in the nanoparticles was increased from 44.59% to 81.12% and the loading capacity of curcumin was elevated from 10.14% to 31.67%. When the mass ratio of rhamnolipid and curcumin was 4:1, the curcumin-loaded rhamnolipid nanoparticles exhibited better physical stability, pH stability, and redispersibility. Moreover, the nanoparticles could effectively protect curcumin against the photodegradation and thermal degradation. Therefore, the rhamnolipid nanoparticles have the potential to be applied as a nanodelivery system for bioactive molecules in functional foods.

Abstract
This paper reports the characterization of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles obtained via the thermal decomposition of an organometallic precursor, which were then loaded into nanocapsules prepared via the emulsification process in the presence of an amphiphilic derivative of chitosan. The applied synthetic method led to the formation of a hydrophobic layer on the surface of nanoparticles that enabled their loading in the hydrophobic liquid inside of the polymer-based capsules. The average diameter of nanoparticles was determined to be equal to 15 nm, and they were thoroughly characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetometry, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. A core–shell structure consisting of a wüstite core and maghemite-like shell was revealed, resulting in an exchange bias effect and a considerable magnetocrystalline anisotropy at low temperatures and a superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature. Importantly, superparamagnetic behavior was observed for the aqueous dispersion of the nanocapsules loaded with the superparamagnetic nanoparticles, and the dispersion was shown to be very stable (at least 48 weeks). The results were analyzed and discussed with respect to the potential future applications of these nanoparticles and nanocapsules based on biopolymers as platforms designed for the magnetically navigated transport of encapsulated hydrophobic substances.

Abstract
Chitosan has attracted much attention in drug delivery, however, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)-based self-aggregated nanocarriers are seldom reported. In this paper, two kinds of CMC-based pH-responsive amphiphilic chitosan derivatives, N-2-hydroxylpropyl-3-butyl ether-O-carboxymethyl chitosan (HBCC) and N-2-hydroxylpropyl-3-(2-ethylhexyl glycidyl ether)-O-carboxymethyl chitosan (H2ECC), have been synthesized by the homogeneous reaction. The molecular structures were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The optimum reaction condition was obtained based on the data of 1H NMR spectrum: reaction time of 4 h, reaction temperature of 80 °C and nepoxyn-NH2 of 3/1, respectively. The XRD patterns showed the crystallinity of HBCC and H2ECC decreased due to the introduction of hydrophobic segments. The thermostability of HBCC and H2ECC was improved for the formation of heat-resistant stereo-complexed structures. The intermolecular hydrophobic interaction hindered the intermolecular mobility by increasing glass transition temperature of ca. 10 °C. Both HBCC and H2ECC have very low critical aggregation concentrations (HBCC: 0.66-1.56 g/L, H2ECC: 0.57-1.07 g/L) and moderate aggregate particle size, which is advantageous for utilization as a drug carrier. The curcumin loaded HBCC and H2ECC aggregates showed nontoxicity, meanwhile, HBCC and H2ECC showed good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. As a result of these two favorable properties, HBCC and H2ECC could be used as curcumin nanocarriers as well as antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Aim: A novel folated pluronic F127 (FA-F127) was synthesised, so as to modify liposomes with FA group on the surface, and evaluate the effects of FA-F127 modification on the properties of the modified liposomes.Methods: FA was linked to one end of pluronic F127, via the terminal OH group, to obtain FA-F127 and the structure was characterised. FA-F127 modified curcumin liposomes (cur-FA-F127-Lps) were prepared. The physicochemical characteristics of cur-FA-F127-Lps, including morphology and particle size, were studied. The in vitro cytotoxicity of cur-FA-F127-Lps against KB cancer cells was determined by MTT tests.Results: The effects of FA-F127 modification on the average particle size, PDI, curcumin encapsulation efficiency and microstructure were not significant. Compared with nonfolated F127 liposomes (cur-F127-Lps), cur-FA-F127-Lps exhibited significantly higher cytotoxicity towards KB cells.Conclusions: Folic acid modified liposomes provide a novel strategy to improve the chemotherapeutic efficacy of hydrophobic bioactive compounds.

Abstract
The brain is the body's control center, so when a disease affects it, the outcomes are devastating. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis are brain diseases that cause a large number of human deaths worldwide. Curcumin has demonstrated beneficial effects on brain health through several mechanisms such as antioxidant, amyloid β-binding, anti-inflammatory, tau inhibition, metal chelation, neurogenesis activity, and synaptogenesis promotion. The therapeutic limitation of curcumin is its bioavailability, and to address this problem, new nanoformulations are being developed. The present review aims to summarize the general bioactivity of curcumin in neurological disorders, how functional molecules are extracted, and the different types of nanoformulations available.

Abstract
A cationic derivative of pullulan was obtained by grafting reaction and used together with dextran sulfate to form polysaccharide-based nanohydrogel cross-linked via electrostatic interactions between polyions. Due to the polycation-polyanion interactions nanohydrogel particles were formed instantly and spontaneously in water. The nanoparticles were colloidally stable and their size and surface charge could be controlled by the polycation/polyanion ratio. The morphology of the obtained particles was visualized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The resulting structures were spherical, with hydrodynamic diameters in the range of 100-150 nm. The binding constant (Ka) of a model drug, piroxicam, to the cationic pullulan (C-PUL) was determined by spectrophotometric measurements. The value of Ka was calculated according to the Benesi-Hildebrand equation to be (3.6 ± 0.2) × 103 M-1. After binding to cationic pullulan, piroxicam was effectively entrapped inside the nanohydrogel particles and released in a controlled way. The obtained system was efficiently taken up by cells and was shown to be biocompatible.

Abstract
Fluorinated graphene has recently gained much attention for cancer drug delivery, owing to its peculiar properties including high electronegativity difference, magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent, and the photothermal effect. However, the hydrophobic nature of fluorinated graphene greatly hinders its application as a biological material. Herein, a novel green method is reported for synthesis of a pH-sensitive charge-reversal and water-soluble fluorinated graphene oxide, modified with polyethyleneimine anchored to sericin-polypeptide (FPS). This nanocarrier was further loaded with curcumin (Cur), and characterized as a nanocarrier for anti-cancer drug delivery. The synthesized nanocarriers contain two different pH-sensitive amide linkages, which are negatively charged in blood pH (≈7.4) and can prolong circulation times. The amide linkages undergo hydrolysis once they reach the mildly acidic condition (pH≈6.5, corresponding to tumor extracellular matrix), and subsequently once reached the lower acidic condition (pH≈5.5, corresponded to endo/lysosomes microenvironment), the FPS charge can be switched to positive (≈+28 mV), which aids the nuclear release. This nanocarrier was designed to selectively enhance cell internalization and nuclear-targeted delivery of curcumin in HeLa, SkBr3 and PC-3 cancer cells. Moreover, FPS-Cur demonstrated high curcumin loading capacity, prolonged curcumin release and promotion of apoptosis in HeLa, SkBr3 and PC-3 cells. Therefore, with its pH-responsive charge-reversal properties, FPS-Cur would be a promising candidate for chemotherapy of cervical, breast and prostate cancers.

Abstract
Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound found in turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizome that has potential biological benefits, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activity. Incorporation of curcumin into functional food and beverage products, however, is challenging due to its low water-solubility, poor chemical stability, rapid metabolism, and low oral bioavailability. Researchers are, therefore developing a suite of particle-based delivery systems to maximize the potential health benefits of curcumin. Colloidal delivery systems, such as micelles, microemulsions, nanoemulsions, emulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, biopolymer nanoparticles, and microgels have all been developed for this purpose. The functional performance of each of these delivery systems depends on its structure and physicochemical properties, such as particle composition, particle size, morphology, physicochemical stability, optical properties, rheology, and sensory attributes. As a result, each delivery system has its advantages and disadvantages for particular applications. Consequently, a delivery system must be specifically designed for the particular bioactive agent to be encapsulated, as well as the particular food matrix it will be incorporated into. In this review, we highlight the potential of the Delivery by Design (DbD) approach for identifying and selecting the most appropriate colloidal delivery system for a particular food application, using curcumin as a model bioactive agent.

Abstract
Background Curcumin is a natural polyphenol with anti-inflammatory, chemopreventive and anticancer activity. However, its high hydrophobicity and poor bioavailability limit its medical application. The development of nanocarriers for curcumin delivery is an attractive approach to overcome its low bioavailability and fast metabolism in the liver. We synthesized a blood compatible alginate-curcumin conjugate, AA-Cur, which formed colloidally stable micelles of approximately 200 nm and, as previously shown, exerted strong cytotoxicity against mouse cancer cell lines. Here we analyze in vivo toxicity and antitumor activity of AA-Cur in two different mouse tumor models. Method Potential toxicity of intravenously injected AA-Cur was evaluated by: i) analyses of blood parameters (morphology and biochemistry), ii) histology, iii) DNA integrity (comet assay), and iv) cytokine profiling (flow cytometry). Antitumor activity of AA-Cur was evaluated by measuring the growth of subcutaneously inoculated colon MC38-CEA- or orthotopically injected breast 4T1 tumor cells in control mice vs mice treated with AA-Cur. Results Injections of four doses of AA-Cur did not reveal any toxicity of the conjugate, thus indicating the safety of its use. AA-Cur elicited moderate anti-tumor activity toward colon MC38-CEA or breast 4T1 carcinomas. Conclusion The tested conjugate of alginate and curcumin, AA-Cur, is non-toxic and safe, but exhibits limited anticancer activity.

Abstract
Melanoma is the most fatal form of skin cancer. Current therapeutic approaches include surgical resection, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. However, these treatment strategies are associated with development of drug resistance and severe side effects. In recent years, natural compounds have also been extensively studied for their anti-melanoma effects, including tumor growth inhibition, apoptosis induction, angiogenesis and metastasis suppression and cancer stem cell elimination. Moreover, a considerable number of studies reported the synergistic activity of phytochemicals and standard anti-melanoma agents, as well as the enhanced effectiveness of their synthetic derivatives and novel formulations. However, clinical data confirming these promising effects in patients are still scanty. This review emphasizes the anti-tumor mechanisms and potential application of the most studied natural products for melanoma prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Polymer core-shell nanocapsules with magnetic nanoparticles embedded in their oil cores were fabricated and applied as nano(photo)reactors. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) coated with oleic acid were first synthesized and characterized structurally, and their magnetic properties were determined. The capsules with chitosan-based shells were then formed in a one-step process by sonication-assisted mixing of (1) an aqueous solution of the hydrophobically derived chitosan and (2) oleic acid containing the dispersed SPIONs. In this way, magnetic capsules with a diameter of approximately 500-600 nm containing encapsulated SPIONs with an average diameter of approximately 20-30 nm were formed as revealed by dynamic light scattering and scanning transmission electron microscopy measurements. The composition and magnetic properties of the formed capsules were also followed using dynamic light scattering, electron microscopies, and magnetic force microscopy. The water-dispersible capsules, thanks to their magnetic properties, were then navigated in a static magnetic field gradient and transferred between the water and oil phases, as evidenced by fluorescence microscopy. In this way, the capsules could be loaded in a controlled way with a hydrophobic reactant, perylene, which was later photooxidized upon transferring the capsules to the aqueous phase. The capsules were shown to serve as robust reloadable nanoreactors/nanocontainers that via magnetic navigation can be transferred between immiscible phases without disruption. These features make them promising reusable systems not only for loading and carrying lipophilic actives, conducting useful reactions in the confined environment of the capsules, but also for magnetically separating and guiding the encapsulated active molecules to the site of action.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world and one of the major public health problems. Despite the great advances in cancer therapy, the incidence and mortality rates of cancer remain high. Therefore, the quest for more efficient and less toxic cancer treatment strategies is still at the forefront of current research. Curcumin, the active ingredient of the Curcuma longa plant, has received great attention over the past two decades as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer agent. In this review, a summary of the medicinal chemistry and pharmacology of curcumin and its derivatives in regard to anticancer activity, their main mechanisms of action, and cellular targets has been provided based on the literature data from the experimental and clinical evaluation of curcumin in cancer cell lines, animal models, and human subjects. In addition, the recent advances in the drug delivery systems for curcumin delivery to cancer cells have been highlighted.

Abstract
Effective drug delivery is one of the most important issues associated with the administration of therapeutic agents that have low oral bioavailability. Curcumin is an active ingredient in the turmeric plant, which has low oral bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility. One strategy that has been considered for enhancing the aqueous solubility, and, thus, its oral bioavailability, is the use of chitosan as a carrier for curcumin. Chitosan is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer that is relatively water-soluble. Therefore, various studies have sought to improve the aqueous solubility of chitosan. The use of different pharmaceutical excipients and formulation strategies has the potential to improve aqueous solubility, formulation processing, and the overall delivery of hydrophobic drugs. This review focuses on various methods utilized for chitosan-based delivery of curcumin.
