Food Chem 2023; 429:136719. [PMID: 37454622 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136719] [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: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to develop a cellulose-based active food packaging material using paper, a biodegradable, sustainable, recyclable, renewable, and relatively low-cost material. For electrospray coating, fulvic acid (FA), which has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and sericin (S) were used as an active agent and a carrier medium, respectively. Solutions prepared at various concentrations and ratios of FA and S were analyzed, the properties of the active packaging material were examined, and the effect on the quality of pears was studied. The optimum conditions of electrospraying for minimum droplet size and maximum antibacterial effect were 0.8 g/mL concentration of solutions, 1:1 FA:S ratio, 20 kV voltage, 0.75 mL/h flow rate, and 23 cm collector-needle tip distance. FA had static, lethal, and inhibitory effects on Pseudomonas syringae and P. digitatum, the common pathogenic microorganisms on pears. The antioxidant activity of FA was higher than that of S (872.96 mM vs. 239.36 mM). At the end of the 90-day storage period, pears stored in the active packaging material at 7 °C and 90% RH showed better preserved color and texture, matured later, had a lower antimicrobial load, and were more appreciated in sensory evaluation than other samples.

Vortioxetine liposomes as a novel alternative to improve drug stability under stress conditions: toxicity studies and evaluation of antidepressant-like effect. Pharmacol Rep 2022; 74:969-981. [PMID: 36076124 DOI: 10.1007/s43440-022-00412-w] [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: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vortioxetine hydrobromide (VXT), a new therapeutic option in the treatment of major depressive disorder, is a poorly soluble drug, and instability under stress conditions has been reported. The aim of the present study was to prepare VXT liposomes (VXT-Ls) with an antidepressant-like effect, to improve drug stability and reduce toxicity of the free drug. METHODS Liposomes were prepared using the thin lipid film hydration method and properly characterized. Forced degradation studies were conducted in photolytic and oxidative conditions. The cytotoxicity was evaluated in VERO cells through MTT assay and in vivo toxicity was assessed in mice. The antidepressant-like effect in mice was confirmed using the open-field test paradigm and tail suspension test. RESULTS The optimized VXT-Ls have multilamellar vesicles with an average size of 176.74 nm ± 2.43. The liposomal formulation increased the stability of VXT. VERO cell viability was maintained at around 40% when the VXT-Ls were tested at higher concentrations and no signs of acute toxicity were observed in mice. The antidepressant-like effect was effective, for VXT-Ls, at doses ranging from 2.5 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg, measured by the tail suspension test in mice. The non-liposomal formulation was effective at a dose of 10 mg/kg. The open field test was performed and any unspecific changes in locomotor activity were revealed. CONCLUSIONS Liposomes seem to be a promising alternative for an oral VXT formulation at lower doses (2.5 mg/kg).

Kumar R, Thakur AK, Banerjee N, Chaudhari P. A critical review on the particle generation and other applications of rapid expansion of supercritical solution. Int J Pharm 2021; 608:121089. [PMID: 34530097 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2021.121089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 08/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The novel particle generation processes of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)/drug have been extensively explored in recent decades due to their wide-range applications in the pharmaceutical industry. The Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions (RESS) is one of the promising techniques to obtain the fine particles (micro to nano-size) of APIs with narrow particle size distribution (PSD). In RESS, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2) and API are used as solvent and solute respectively. In this literature survey, the application of RESS in the formation of fine particles is critically reviewed. Solubility of API in SC CO2 and supersaturation are the key factors in tuning the particle size. The different approaches to model and predict the solubility of API in SC CO2 are discussed. Then, the effect of process parameters on mean particle size and the particle size distribution are interpreted in the context of solubility and supersaturation. Furthermore, the less-explored applications of RESS in preparation of solid-lipid nanoparticles, liposome, polymorphic conversion, cocrystallization and inclusion complexation are compared with traditional processes. The solubility enhancement of API in SC CO2 using co-solvent and its applications in particle generation are explored in published literature. The development and modifications in the conventional RESS process to overcome the limitations of RESS are presented. Finally, the perspective on RESS with special attention to its commercial operation is highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The advances in products based on nanotechnology have directed extensive research on low-cost, biologically compatible, and easily degradable materials. MAIN BODY Sericin (SER) is a protein mainly composed of glycine, serine, aspartic acid, and threonine amino acids removed from the silkworm cocoon (particularly Bombyx mori and other species). SER is a biocompatible material with economic viability, which can be easily functionalized due to its potential crosslink reactions. Also, SER has inherent biological properties, which makes possible its use as a component of pharmaceutical formulations with several biomedical applications, such as anti-tumor, antimicrobials, antioxidants and as scaffolds for tissue repair as well as participating in molecular mechanisms attributed to the regulation of transcription factors, reduction of inflammatory signaling molecules, stimulation of apoptosis, migration, and proliferation of mesenchymal cells. CONCLUSION In this review, the recent innovations on SER-based nano-medicines (nanoparticles, micelles, films, hydrogels, and their hybrid systems) and their contributions for non-conventional therapies are discussed considering different molecular mechanisms for promoting their therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic disease characterized by progressive skin sores. Currently, treatments for CL are limited to parenteral administration of the drug, which presents severe adverse effects and low cure rates. Therefore, this study aimed to develop poly(vinyl-alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels containing Amphotericin B (AmB) intended for topical treatment of CL. Hydrogels were evaluated in vitro for their potential to eliminate promastigote forms of Leishmania spp., to prevent secondary infections, to maintain appropriate healing conditions, and to offer suitable biocompatibility. AmB was incorporated into the system in its non-crystalline state, allowing it to swell more and faster than the system without the drug. Furthermore, the AmB release profile showed a continuous and controlled behavior following Higuchi´s kinetic model. AmB-loaded-PVA-hydrogels (PVA-AmB) also showed efficient antifungal and leishmanicidal activity, no cytotoxic potential for VERO cells, microbial impermeability and water vapor permeability compatible with the healthy skin's physiological needs. Indeed, these results revealed the potential of PVA-AmB to prevent secondary infections and to maintain a favorable environment for the healing process. Hence, these results suggest that PVA-AmB could be a suitable and efficient new therapeutic approach for the topical treatment of CL.

Protective effect of Thai silk extracts on drug-induced phototoxicity in human epidermal A431 cells and a reconstructed human epidermis model. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2018; 188:50-59.

Abstract
Bombyx mori silk extracts, derived from the cocoon degumming process of draw and dye silk in the textile industry, are mainly composed of sericin protein. To add value to the Thai silk extracts, and hence the silk industry, a simple enrichment process was recently developed and the enriched silk extracts were then applied in nano-cosmeceutical products and nano-delivery systems. In this study, the protective effect of Thai silk extracts from three different strains of Bombyx mori on the drug-induced phototoxicity was evaluated in vitro using chlorpromazine (CPZ), a commonly used antipsychotic drug, as a representative phototoxic drug. The human epidermal A431 cell line and reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) model were used as the in vitro skin model. The silk extracts significantly improved the viability of A431 cells after CPZ exposure and ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation, as shown by the significantly increased CPZ and UVA IC50 values and the decreased proportion of apoptotic cells. The protective effect of these silk extracts against the CPZ-induced UVA-phototoxicity in A431 cells was associated with the attenuation of intracellular oxidative stress via an increased intracellular glutathione level. Likewise, the silk extracts exhibited a protective effect on the CPZ-induced UVA-phototoxicity in the RhE model, in terms of an improved tissue viability and attenuation of the released inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1α. These findings support the potential usefulness of silk extracts in novel applications, especially in the protection of drug-induced phototoxicity.

Abstract
Introduction Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most predominant and fatal pathogens at wound infection sites. MRSA is difficult to treat because of its antibiotic resistance and ability to form biofilms at the wound site. Methods In this study, a novel nanoscale liquid film-forming system (LFFS) loaded with benzalkonium bromide was produced based on polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan. Results This LFFS showed a faster and more potent effect against MRSA252 than benzalkonium bromide aqueous solution both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the LFFS had a stronger ability to destroy biofilms (5 mg/mL) and inhibit their formation (1.33 μg/mL). The LFFS inflicted obvious damage to the structure and integrity of MRSA cell membranes and caused increases in the release of alkaline phosphate and lactate dehydrogenase in the relative electrical conductivity and in K+ and Mg2+ concentrations due to changes in the MRSA cell membrane permeability. Conclusion The novel LFFS is promising as an effective system for disinfectant delivery and for application in the treatment of MRSA wound infections.
