Abstract
Despite the development of new generations of antibiotics, vancomycin remained as a high-efficacy antibiotic for treating the infections caused by MRSA. Researchers have explored various nanoformulations, aiming to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of vancomycin. Such novel formulations improve the effectiveness of drug cargoes in treating bacterial infections and minimizing the risk of adverse effects. The vast of researches have focuses on enhancing the permeation ability of vancomycin through different biological barriers especially those of gastrointestinal tract. Increasing the drug loading and tuning the drug release from nanocarrier are other important goal for many conducted studies. This study reviews the newest nano-based formulations for vancomycin as a key antibiotic in treating hospitalized bacterial infections.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2309586. [PMID: 38686448 PMCID: PMC11234439 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202309586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Easy injection, long-lasting barrier, and drug loading are the critical properties of submucosal injection materials for endoscopic surgery. However, conventional injectable polymers face challenges in simultaneously attaining these properties due to the inherent conflict between injectability and in situ stability. Here, a multi-arm star polymer hydrogel (denoted as βCP hydrogel) with long-lasting submucosal barrier (exceeding 120 min), rapid hemostasis, and sustained antibacterial properties is successfully developed by grafting poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PEGMA) side-chains from β-CD via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). During the onset of shearing, βCP hydrogel experiences the unwinding of polymer side-chains between neighboring star polymers, which facilitates the process of endoscopic injectability. After submucosal injection, βCP hydrogel undergoes the winding of polymer side-chains, thereby establishing a long-lasting barrier cushion. Meanwhile, owing to its distinctive structures with a hydrophobic inner cavity and an outer layer of hydrophilic polymer side-chains, βCP hydrogel enables simultaneous loading and on-demand release of diverse categories of drugs. This unique performance can adapt to the diverse demands during different stages of wound healing in a porcine endoscopic surgery model. These results indicate an appealing prospect for new application of star polymers as a good submucosal injection material in endoscopic treatments.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 252:126284. [PMID: 37572821 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126284] [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: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023]
Abstract
Agarose hydrogels are three-dimensional hydrophilic polymeric frameworks characterised by high water content, viscoelastic properties, and excellent ability as cell and drug delivery systems. However, their hydrophilicity as gel systems makes loading of hydrophobic drugs difficult and often ineffective. The incorporation of amphiphilic molecules (e.g. cyclodextrins) into hydrogels as hosts able to form inclusion complexes with hydrophobic drugs could be a possible solution. However, if not properly confined, the host compounds can get out of the network resulting in uncontrolled release. Therefore, in this work, β-cyclodextrins-based host-guest supramolecular hydrogel systems were synthesised, with β-cyclodextrins (β-CD) covalently bound to the polymeric network, preventing leakage of the host molecules. Hydrogels were prepared at two different β-CD-functionalized polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/agarose ratios, and characterised chemically and physically. Then ibuprofen, a drug often used as a gold standard in studies involving β-CD both in its hydrophilic and hydrophobic forms, was selected to investigate the release behavior of the synthesised hydrogels and the influence of β-CD on the release. The presence of β-CD linked to the polymeric 3D network ensured a higher and prolonged release profile for the hydrophobic drug and also seemed to have some influence on the hydrophilic one.

Regulable preparation of silk fibroin composite cryogel by dual-directional crosslink for achieving self-cleaning, superelasticity and multifunctional water purification. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 453:131383. [PMID: 37080023 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Recently, the cryogel as a special type of hydrogel was widely used in the field of medicine due to its porous structure and good biocompatibilit. However, great challenges existed for its irregular pore size and incompressible property, limiting its application in other fields. In this study, a novel silk fibroin-based cryogel (named SF@PVA/CS) with regulable pore size, excellent elasticity and durability was constructed using a green dual-directional crosslink strategy. The SF@PVA/CS was prepared by using silk fibroin (SF) as bone scaffold, and chitosan (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as polymer hydrogel which was introduced into the inner bone scaffold of SF. Such a brand-new cryogel possessed three-dimensional dual network structure, which can overcome the shortcoming of unregulatable pore size and incompressibility of traditional cryogel. Additionally, the developed SF@PVA/CS membrane was used for water purification for the first time, which exhibited superior selective permeation, excellent anti-fouling and brilliant self-cleaning property, and it can achieve the purification of both oil/water emulsion and methylene blue solution. This study expanded the application of SF-based cryogel, providing a novel routine for designing new-type composite cryogel and widening the application of dual-directional crosslink strategy developed in this study for facilitating the purification of wastewater.

Abstract
Here, super-macroporous cryogel from a natural polysaccharide, pullulan was synthesized using a cryo-crosslinking technique with divinyl sulfone (DVS) as a crosslinker. The hydrolytic degradation of the pullulan cryogel in various simulated body fluids (pH 1.0, 7.4, and 9.0 buffer solutions) was evaluated. It was observed that the pullulan cryogel degradation was much faster in the pH 9 buffer solution than the pH 1.0 and 7.4 buffer solutions in the same time period. The weight loss of the pullulan cryogel at pH 9.0 within 28 days was determined as 31% ± 2%. To demonstrate the controllable drug delivery potential of pullulan cryogels via degradation, an antibiotic, ciprofloxacin, was loaded into pullulan cryogels (pullulan-cipro), and the loading amount of drug was calculated as 105.40 ± 2.6 µg/mg. The release of ciprofloxacin from the pullulan-cipro cryogel was investigated in vitro at 37.5 °C in physiological conditions (pH 7.4). The amount of drug released within 24 h was determined as 39.26 ± 3.78 µg/mg, which is equal to 41.38% ± 3.58% of the loaded drug. Only 0.1 mg of pullulan-cipro cryogel was found to inhibit half of the growing Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) colonies for 10 min and totally eradicated within 2 h by the release of the loaded antibiotic. No significant toxicity was determined on L929 fibroblast cells for 0.1 mg drug-loaded pullulan cryogel. In contrast, even 1 mg of drug-loaded pullulan cryogel revealed slight toxicity (e.g., 66% ± 9% cell viability) because of the high concentration of released drug.

Abstract
Cryogels, composed of synthetic and natural materials, have emerged as versatile biomaterials with applications in tissue engineering, controlled drug delivery, regenerative medicine, and therapeutics. However, optimizing cryogel properties, such as mechanical strength and release profiles, remains challenging. To advance the field, researchers are exploring advanced manufacturing techniques, biomimetic design, and addressing long-term stability. Combination therapies and drug delivery systems using cryogels show promise. In vivo evaluation and clinical trials are crucial for safety and efficacy. Overcoming practical challenges, including scalability, structural integrity, mass transfer constraints, biocompatibility, seamless integration, and cost-effectiveness, is essential. By addressing these challenges, cryogels can transform biomedical applications with innovative biomaterials.
