Borneol and lactoferrin dual-modified crocetin-loaded nanoliposomes enhance neuroprotection in HT22 cells and brain targeting in mice. Eur J Med Chem 2024; 276:116674.

Abstract
Crocetin (CCT), a natural bioactive compound extracted and purified from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb saffron, has been shown to play a role in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly depression. However, due to challenges with solubility, targeting, and bioavailability, formulation development and clinical use of CCT are severely limited. In this study, we used the emulsification-reverse volatilization method to prepare CCT-loaded nanoliposomes (CN). We further developed a borneol (Bor) and lactoferrin (Lf) dual-modified CCT-loaded nanoliposome (BLCN) for brain-targeted delivery of CCT. The results of transmission electron microscope (TEM) and particle size analysis indicated that the size of BLCN (∼140 nm) was suitable for transcellular transport across olfactory axons (∼200 nm), potentially paving a direct path to the brain. Studies on lipid solubility, micropolarity, and hydrophobicity showed that BLCN had a relatively high Lf grafting rate (81.11 ± 1.33 %) and CCT entrapment efficiency (83.60 ± 1.04 %) compared to other liposomes, likely due to Bor improving the lipid solubility of Lf, and the combination promoting the orderly arrangement of liposome membrane molecules. Microplate reader and fluorescence microscopy analysis showed that BLCN efficiently promoted the endocytosis of fluorescent coumarin 6 into HT22 cells with a maximal fluorescence intensity of (13.48 ± 0.80 %), which was significantly higher than that of CCT (5.73 ± 1.17 %) and CN (12.13 ± 1.01 %). BLCN also exhibited sustained function, remaining effective for more than 12 h after reaching a peak at 1 h in cells, while CN showed a significant decrease after 4 h. The uptake mechanisms of BLCN in HT22 cells mainly involve energy-dependent, caveolae-mediated, and microtubule-mediated endocytosis, as well as micropinocytosis. Furthermore, BLCN displayed a significant neuroprotective effect on HT22 cells in glutamate-, corticosterone-, and H2O2-induced models. Tissue fluorescence image analysis of mice showed that BLCN exhibited substantial retention of fluorescent DiR in the brain after nasal administration for 12 h. These findings suggest that CCT has the potential for cellular uptake, neuroprotection, and targeted delivery to the brain following intranasal administration when encapsulated in Bor and Lf dual-modified nanoliposomes.

Abstract
This study explores the potential for optimizing a sustainable manufacturing process that maintains the essential characteristics of conventional liposomes using food-grade solvents and components. The focus was comparing the physicochemical, morphological, and interfacial properties of liposomes produced with these food-grade ingredients to those made by conventional methods. It was found that there was no significant difference in particle size (195.87 ± 1.40 nm) and ζ-potential (-45.13 ± 0.65 mV) between liposomes made from food-grade and conventional materials. The manufacturing process for liposomes, utilizing food-grade solvents and components, was optimized through the application of Plackett-Burman design and response surface methodology. This approach helped identify key parameters (soy lecithin, β-sitosterol, W/O ratio) and their optimal values (3.17 g, 0.25 g, 1:2.59). These findings suggest that it is possible to enhance the use of liposomes as an effective and safe delivery system in the food industry, adhering to the strict guidelines set by regulatory agencies.

Abstract
Bioactive compounds (BACs) have attracted much attention due to their potential health benefits. However, such substances have problems such as difficulty dissolving in water, poor stability, and low intestinal absorption, leading to serious limitations in practical applications. Nowadays, food colloidal delivery carriers have become a highly promising solution due to their safety, controllability, and efficiency. The use of natural macromolecules to construct delivery carriers can not only regulate the solubility, stability, and intestinal absorption of BACs but also effectively enhance the nutritional added value of functional foods, improve sensory properties, and extend shelf life. Moreover, smart-responsive colloidal delivery carriers can control the release characteristics of BACs, thus improving their absorption rate in the human body. This review describes the characteristics of several typical food colloid delivery carriers, focuses on their physical properties from static structure to dynamic release, summarizes their applications in delivery systems, and provides an outlook on the future development of food colloid delivery carriers. The different compositions and structures of food colloids tend to affect their stability and release behaviors, and the different surface properties and rheological characteristics of the carriers predestine their different application scenarios. The control of in vivo release properties and the effect on food media should be emphasized in the future exploration of safer and more controllable carrier systems.

Abstract
Sterol derivatives are a crucial part of liposomes, as their concentration and nature can induce significant alternations in their characteristic features. For natural liposomal-based (phospholipid-based) studies, the bulk literature is already present depicting the role of the concentration or nature of different sterol derivatives in modulation of membrane properties. However, the studies aiming at evaluating the effect of sterol derivatives on synthetic liposomal assemblies are limited to cholesterol (Chl), and a comparative effect with other sterol derivatives, such as ergosterol (Erg), has never been studied. To fill this research gap, through this work, we intend to provide insights into the concentration-dependent effect of two sterol derivatives (Chl and Erg) on a synthetic liposomal assembly (i.e., metallosomes) prepared via thin film hydration route using a double-tailed metallosurfactant fabricated by modifying cetylpyridinium chloride with cobalt (Co) (i.e., Co:CPC II). The morphological evaluations with cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) indicated that metallosomes retained their spherical morphology irrespective of the nature and concentration of sterol derivatives. However, the size, ζ-potential, and lamellar width values were significantly modified with the incorporation of sterol derivatives in a concentration-dependent manner. In-depth studies affirmed that the extent of modulation of the bilayer in terms of hydrophobicity, fluidity, and rigidity was more severe with Chl than Erg. Such differences in the membrane properties lead to their contrasting behavior in the delivery of the broad-spectrum active compound "curcumin". From entrapment to in vitro behavior, the metallosomes demonstrated dissimilar behavior as even though Erg-modified metallosomes (at higher concentrations of Erg) exhibited low entrapment efficiency, they still could easily release >80% of the entrapped drug. In vitro studies conducted with Staphylococcus aureus bacterial cultures further revealed an interesting pattern of activity as the incorporation of Chl reduced the toxicity of the self-assembly, whereas their Erg-modified counterparts yielded slightly augmented toxicity toward these bacterial cells. Furthermore, Chl- and Erg-modified assemblies also exhibited contrasting behavior in their interaction studies with bacterial DNA.

Abstract
To improve the poor water solubility and oral bioavailability of tyrosol, novel tyrosol liposomes (Tyr-LPs) were prepared by pH-driven method. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that Tyr-LPs were successfully encapsulated and tyrosol was in an amorphous state in liposomes. When tyrosol content in Tyr-LP was 1.33 mg/ml and the Tyr:LP (mass ratio) = 1:2, favorable dispersibility of Tyr-LP was exhibited, with an instability index of 0.049 ± 0.004, PDI of 0.274 ± 0.003, and the EE of 94.8 ± 2.5 %. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies showed that after oral administration of tyrosol or Tyr-LP (Tyr:LP = 1:2), concentration-versus-time curve (AUC0-720mins) and maximum concentration (Cmax) values of Tyr-LP was respectively 1.5-fold (P < 0.01) and 2.25-fold (P < 0.01) higher than tyrosol, which indicated that the oral bioavailability of tyrosol was effectively improved in Tyr-LPs. Our study thereby provides theoretical support for the application of Tyr-LP for optimal delivery of tryosol.

Abstract
The fragile membranes of liposomes limit their application by the food industry. In this study, we hypothesized that interactions between fatty acids with different chain lengths and phospholipids might enhance liposome stability. Decanoic acid modified liposomes (Lipo-DA) and stearic acid modified liposomes (Lipo-SA) were fabricated for encapsulation of hydrophilic peptides. Fluorescence spectroscopy and FTIR analysis showed molecular interactions existed between alkyl chains and phospholipids, resulting in greater compactness and hydrophobicity of the membranes in Lipo-DA and Lipo-SA. This led to a reduction in melting point characterized by differential scanning calorimetry analysis. Lipo-DA and Lipo-SA could delay the release of hydrophilic peptides compared with unmodified liposomes in simulated digestion. Moreover, Lipo-DA showed better stability during storage, while Lipo-SA exhibited precipitation, resulting in the lowest peptide retention. Our study showed that decanoic acid is suitable to enhance the stability of liposomes, although this approach has yet to be tested in food products.

Abstract
Deformable nanovesicles have a crucial role in topical drug delivery through the skin, due to their capability to pass intact the stratum corneum and epidermis (SCE) and significantly increase the efficacy and accumulation of payloads in the deeper layers of the skin. Namely, lipid-based ultradeformable nanovesicles are versatile and load bioactive molecules with different physicochemical properties. For this reason, this study aims to make oleic acid based nanovesicles (oleosomes) for the codelivery of icariin and sodium naproxen and increase their permeation through the skin. Oleosomes have suitable physicochemical properties and long-term stability for a potential dermal or transdermal application. The inclusion of oleic acid in the lipid bilayer increases 3-fold the deformable properties of oleosomes compared to conventional liposomes and significantly improves the percutaneous permeation of icariin and sodium naproxen through the human SCE membranes compared to hydroalcoholic solutions of both drugs. The tolerability studies on human volunteers demonstrate that oleosomes are safer and speed up the recovery of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) baselines compared to saline solution. These results highlight promising properties of icariin/sodium naproxen coloaded oleosomes for the treatment of skin disorders and suggest the potential future applications of these nanovesicles for further in vivo experiments.

Abstract
Novel p-coumaric acid (pCA)-loaded nanoliposomes were prepared by the thin-film hydration method, assisted with ultrasonic treatment, and optimized by the response surface methodology. The characterization showed that the fabricated pCA-loaded liposomes were nanosized spherical vesicles (83.55 ± 0.34 nm), exhibiting favorable dispersibility and encapsulation efficiency (55.70 ± 0.10 %). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis indicated that pCA was encapsulated into phospholipid bilayer through hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding. Tests of temperature stability and centrifugal stability suggested that pCA-loaded nanoliposomes were less sensitive to aggregation and fusion during storage. Incubation experiments revealed that pCA-loaded nanoliposomes had a good inhibitory effect on the expansion of disease area on fresh pod pepper fruit caused by Botrytis cinerea. Additionally, pCA-loaded nanoliposomes effectively extended shelf life of fresh pod peppers by reducing weight loss and naturally-infected decays. The findings presented a viable strategy for designing liposomal encapsulation technology to efficiently enhance antimicrobial activity of pCA in food preservation.

Abstract
Liposomes are spherical lipidic nanocarriers composed of natural or synthetic phospholipids with a hydrophobic bilayer and aqueous core, which are arranged into a polar head and a long hydrophobic tail, forming an amphipathic nano/micro-particle. Despite numerous liposomal applications, their use encounters many challenges related to the physicochemical properties strongly affected by their constituents, colloidal stability, and interactions with the biological environment. This review aims to provide a perspective and a clear idea about the main factors that regulate the liposomes' colloidal and bilayer stability, emphasising the roles of cholesterol and its possible alternatives. Moreover, this review will analyse strategies that offer possible approaches to provide more stable in vitro and in vivo liposomes with enhanced drug release and encapsulation efficiencies.

Phytosterol organic acid esters: Characterization, anti-inflammatory properties and a delivery strategy to improve mitochondrial function. Curr Res Food Sci 2024; 8:100702. [PMID: 38487178 PMCID: PMC10937313 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2024.100702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Phytosterol organic acid esters are important food resources and the components of biomembrane structure. Due to the lack of extraction and synthesis techniques, more research has been focused on phytosterols, and the research on phytosterol acid esters have encountered a bottleneck, but phytosterol acid esters confer substantial benefits to human health. In this study, stigmasteryl vanillate (VAN), stigmasteryl protocatechuate (PRO) and stigmasteryl sinapate (SIN) were prepared through the Steglich reaction. The processes are promotable and the products reach up to 95% purity. In addition, their stability was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. HPLC analysis revealed an enhancement in water solubility after esterification with phenolic acid. In an in vitro digestion model, the bioaccessibility of stigmasteryl phenolates was significantly higher than that of stigmasterols (STIs). Regarding the anti-inflammatory properties, VAN, PRO, and SIN exhibit superior effects against TNF-α induced pro-inflammatory responses compared to STI. All stigmasteryl phenolates supplementation increased the ATP production, the basal, and maximal oxygen consumption rate in mitochondrial stress test. Overall, we present a synthesis method for stigmasteryl phenolates. It will contribute to the development and research of phytosterol acid ester analysis, functions and utilization in food. Moreover, the nutrient-stigmasterol hybrids tactic we have constructed is practical and can become a targeted mitochondrial delivery strategy with enhanced anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
This study aims to introduce a new liposome to co-load Antarctic krill oil (AKO) and quercetin (QC) as a new delivery formulation to enrich the application of AKO and QC. The stability of liposomes could be increased by adding an appropriate quantity of soy lecithin (SL). Changes in the composition of the phospholipid membrane were strongly correlated with the stability and release capacity of loaded nutrients. SL2@QC/AKO-lips displayed a nearly spherical shape with higher oxidative stability and controlled the in vitro release performance of QC in simulated digestion. Moreover, in vitro studies indicated that new liposomes had no adverse effects on cell viability and could combine the physiological functions of AKO and QC to protect the HepG2 cells from oleic acid-induced steatosis and oxidative stress. The findings demonstrated that the AKO and QC co-loaded liposomes prepared with the addition of an appropriate quantity of SL had excellent loading efficiency of AKO/QC and good oxidative stability, security and functional activity.

Abstract
Liposomal vesicles tend to fuse and aggregate during lyophilization. To avoid these events, cryoprotectants are added to the dispersion before lyophilization. Herein, we have compared the effect of three commonly used cryoprotectants (mannitol, MTL; trehalose, THL; and β-cyclodextrin, β-CD) upon structural characteristics of liposomes. The formulation was prepared using ethanol injection method, and cryoprotectants were tested at three dose levels (2, 6, and 10 mM). We have elucidated their effect on soy lecithin (SL) liposomes formulated with and without cholesterol (CHL). Characterizations were performed using scattering, thermal, and spectroscopic techniques. CHL molecules interacted hydrophobically with the SL bilayer. In spite of triggering a noticeable increase in the hydrodynamic diameter (about 30 nm), CHL promoted the stabilization of vesicles. Hydrogen bonding interactions were verified by the shift in -OH stretching over 3300-3500 cm-1. This manifested in an increased phase transition temperature (Tm) of SL liposomes. Tm increased further upon incorporation of cryoprotectants, particularly with β-CD. Enthalpic changes were indicative of an affinity interaction between phospholipids and cryoprotectants, regardless of the presence of CHL. β-CD showed concentration-dependent changes in the energetics of this interaction. The affinity of cryoprotectant-liposome interaction has been ranked as β-CD ≫ THL > MNT.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) oxidation leads to the fusion of nanoliposomes and leakage of containment compounds during the storage period. This study aims to improve the oxidation resistance by partially substituting PC in the osteogenic peptides (OPs) loaded nanoliposomes with hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine (HPC). The investigation assessed the characteristics, stability, and bioaccessibility of these novel nanoliposomes. By altering the PC/HPC mass ratio from 1:0 to 0:1, an increase in the encapsulation efficiency (EE), loading capacity (LC), polydispersity index (PDI), and bioaccessibility of OPs-loaded nanoliposomes was observed. Additionally, there was a decrease in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), peroxide value (POV), non-volatile aldehyde, and ketone. The stability of salt decreased when using HPC alone (0:1). The performance of OPs-loaded nanoliposomes with a PC/HPC mass ratio of 1:3 was found to be satisfactory in terms of storage and pH stability. Fluorescence spectroscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed a tighter lipid aggregation, enhanced intermolecular van der Waals forces, and hydrogen bond formation in membranes of nanoliposomes containing HPC. The addition of HPC to the nanoliposomes delayed the release of peptides in simulated without affecting osteogenic activity. These results provide guidance for the development of oxidation-resistant nanoliposomes loaded with OPs products.

Abstract
The spontaneous formation of phospholipid vesicles was explored for the production of liposomal encapsulations of bioactive compounds. Low-energy processing methods were used to produce stable large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) and giant multilamellar vesicles (GMVs) from unrefined, deoiled soybean and sunflower lecithin dispersions. The presence of these structures was confirmed by particle size analysis, bright-field and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, the liposomes were determined to be in a liquid crystalline state. Through molecular modelling, these liposomes were predicted to be capable of encapsulating cannabinoids within their membrane based on their structural and chemical similarity to cholesterol. The encapsulation capacities of cannabis oil in soybean and sunflower LUVs and spontaneous GMVs were then assessed based on these models. These liposomes demonstrated high thermal and oxidative stability, making them suitable for various food applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mucus biomembrane is a primary barrier in delivering drugs to the brain via intranasal delivery. The negatively charged nanoformulations suffer from poor mucoadhesive ability and less retention time in the nasal cavity, which limits further therapeutic efficacy. The positively charged chitosan coating on liposomes may overcome the above issues. Hence, understanding the molecular interactions between the chitosan-coated liposomes and mucin is essential for developing an effective drug delivery system. METHODS The molecular interactions of mucin with sinapic acid-loaded liposomes (SA-LPs) and mucin with chitosan-coated sinapic acid-loaded liposomes (SA-CH-LPs) were assessed using different biophysical instrumental analyses by interpreting the UV-Vis spectra and observing the particle size, polydispersity index, surface charge, and rheological behavior. RESULTS The mucin interaction with SA-CH-LPs showed increased viscosity as compared to SA-LPs with mucin. Moreover, the mucin interaction with SA-CH-LPs showed stronger mucoadhesive properties as compared to SA-LPs with mucin. The electrostatic interaction between positively charged SA-CH-LPs and negatively charged mucin was responsible for the enhanced mucoadhesive property. CONCLUSION The positively charged SA-CH-LPs highly interact with mucin as compared to negatively charged SA-LPs. The mucoadhesive property of SA-CH-LPs could improve the retention of SA in the nasal cavity as compared to SA-LPs. These findings emphasize the importance of chitosan in modulating the mucoadhesive behavior of liposomes. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Overall, this study helps to understand the molecular interactions and mucoadhesive nature of the chitosan-coated liposomes with mucin, which is essential for biological activity in the physiological environment.

Abstract
LED-related blue-light-induced damage can cause eye diseases. However, drug delivery in patients with ocular diseases is faced with various challenges. In this study, we developed flexible liposomes based on trimethylated chitosan (TMC-Lipo) to deliver resveratrol for the treatment of retinal diseases. Flexible liposomes can easily cross various biological barriers. Chitosan and its derivatives have adhesive properties and are widely used in mucoadhesive drug delivery systems. Therefore, we wrapped flexible liposomes with trimethylated chitosan via electrostatic adsorption. The charge of the flexible liposomes became positive after encapsulation in TMC, and they remained stable in artificial tears. We assessed the safety of TMC-Lipo in cellular and zebrafish experiments and found that it can be safely used. In addition, treatment with TMC-Lipo significantly reduced H2O2-induced damage to ARPE-19 cells, restored mitochondrial membrane potential, and protected the cells. TMC-Lipo more easily reached the posterior ocular segment of the mice than liposome nanoparticles and attenuated blue-light-induced retinal cytopathy. Our study demonstrates that effective eye drop formulations can be developed based on trimethylated chitosan, which provides a promising approach for the treatment of ocular diseases.

Abstract
Although the introduction of glycerosomes has enriched strategies for efficient transdermal drug delivery, the inclusion of cholesterol as a membrane stabilizer has limited their clinical application. The current study describes the development and optimization of a new type of glycerosome (S-glycerosome) that is formed in glycerol solution with β-sitosterol as the stabilizer. Moreover, the transdermal permeation properties of lappaconitine (LA)-loaded S-glycerosomes and peppermint oil (PO)-mediated S-glycerosomes (PO-S-glycerosomes) are evaluated, and the lipid alterations in the stratum corneum are analyzed via lipidomics. The LA-loaded S-glycerosomes prepared by the preferred formulation from the uniform design have a mean size of 145.3 ± 7.81 nm and an encapsulation efficiency of 73.14 ± 0.35%. Moreover, the addition of PO positively impacts transdermal flux, peaking at 0.4% (w/v) PO. Tracing of the fluorescent probe P4 further revealed that PO-S-glycerosomes penetrate deeper into the skin than S-glycerosomes and conventional liposomes. Additionally, treatment with PO-S-glycerosomes alters the isoform type, number, and composition of sphingolipids, glycerophospholipids, glycerolipids, and fatty acids in the stratum corneum, with the most notable effect observed for ceramides, the main component of sphingolipids. Furthermore, the transdermal administration of LA-loaded PO-S-glycerosomes improved the treatment efficacy of xylene-induced inflammation in mice without skin irritation. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the feasibility of β-sitosterol as a stabilizer in glycerosomes. Additionally, the inclusion of PO improves the transdermal permeation of S-glycerosomes, potentially by altering the stratum corneum lipids.

Abstract
The emulsifying performance of glycerophospholipids alone is inferior to proteins, etc., while the sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol (Chol) naturally existing in biological membranes could interact with glycerophospholipids to influence the polar lipid arrangement. Inspired by the natural membranes, the effect of SM and Chol on the physicochemical stability of soy phospholipid (SPL)-stabilized emulsions during storage or under environmental stresses was determined. The results indicated that the addition of SM and/or Chol could improve the storage stability of the emulsions and protective effect on lutein significantly (p < 0.05). Except for UV irradiation, the addition of Chol significantly improved the stability of the emulsions against acid, salt, and heat. The strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds and condensed assembly formed by SM and Chol contributed to the best stability of SPL + SM + Chol-stabilized emulsions. The results gave insight into improving the emulsifying properties of glycerophospholipids with SM and Chol.

Abstract
Skin cancer is a challenging condition of the highest prevalence rate among other types of cancer. Thus, advancement of local therapeutic approaches for skin cancer is highly needed. Recently, the use of phytotherapeutics, like tanshinone IIA (Tan), as anticancer agents has become promising. In this work, we engineered Tan-loaded polycaprolactone nanofibers, biofunctionalized with levan and egg-lecithin (Tan@Lev/EL/PCL-NF) for local skin cancer therapy. Novel Tan@Lev/EL/PCL-NF were prepared using w/o-emulsion electrospinning, employing a 23-factorial design. Composite NF exhibited nanofiber diameter (365.56 ± 46.25 nm), favorable surface-hydrophilicity and tensile strength. Tan@Lev/EL/PCL-NF could achieve favorably controlled-release (100% in 5 days) and Tan skin-deposition (50%). In vitro anticancer studies verified prominent cytotoxicity of Tan@Lev/EL/PCL-NF on squamous-cell-carcinoma cell-line (SCC), with optimum cytocompatibility on fibroblasts. Tan@Lev/EL/PCL-NF exerted high apoptotic activity with evident nuclear fragmentation, G2/M-mitosis cell-cycle-arrest and antimigratory efficacy. In vivo antitumor activity was established in mice, confirming pronounced inhibition of tumor-growth (224.25 ± 46.89%) and relative tumor weight (1.25 ± 0.18%) for Tan@Lev/EL/PCL-NF compared to other groups. Tan@Lev/EL/PCL-NF afforded tumor-biomarker inhibition, upregulation of caspase-3 and knockdown of BAX and MKi67. Efficient anticancer potential was further confirmed by histomorphometric analysis. Our findings highlight the promising anticancer functionality of composite Tan@Lev/EL/PCL-NF, as efficient local skin cancer phytotherapy.

Abstract
The rigidity of nanoliposomes significantly influences their physical stability and in vitro and in vivo behaviors (e.g., cellular uptake, blood circulation, biodistribution, etc.). This study aimed to quantify the rigidity of the nanoliposomes composed of phytosterol with varying C3 branches and phospholipids (DPPC, DOPC) using atomic force microscopy. Young's modulus, determined by the Shell model, effectively differentiated between mechanical differences in nanoliposomes with varying components and component structure and phase states. FTIR results indicated that P-SG exhibited the highest Young's modulus (175.98 ± 10.53 MPa) due to the hydrogen bond between the glucose residue of steryl glycosides (SGs) and the phospholipid polar head. However, the rigidity of DOPC nanoliposomes was not significantly different due to the unsaturated bond. The addition of oligomeric proanthocyanidin (OPC) did not change the order of rigidity among the nanoliposomes, with P-SG-OPC having the highest Young's modulus (126.27 ± 2.06 MPa). In the simulated gastrointestinal tract experiment, P-SG-OPC exhibited the greatest stability, with minimal particle aggregation. Cellular uptake experiments revealed that DPPC nanoliposomes with high rigidity had optimal endocytosis, while DOPC nanoliposome uptake was independent of rigidity. In melanin production inhibition tests, the inhibitory effect correlated directly with Young's modulus and P-SG-OPC had the best inhibitory effect on melanin generation. Our findings in this study provide valuable insights into the design and optimization of nanoliposomes for the efficient delivery of active substances, offering potential solutions for improving the efficacy of drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Liposomes are considered the best nanocarrier for delivering cancer drugs such as chlorin e6 (Ce6) and paclitaxel (PTX). However, the poor stability and non-selectivity release of liposomes may severely limit their further applications. In this study, based on the characteristics of lutein (L) photo-response and orthoester (OE) acid-response, stable and dual-responsive liposomes (Dr-lips) have been prepared. The Dr-lips exhibited a spherical shape with a uniform size of approximately 58.27 nm. Moreover, they displayed a zeta potential ranging from -45.45 to -28.25 mV and showed excellent storage stability, indicating stable colloidal properties. Additionally, they achieved high drug encapsulation rates, with 92.27% for PTX and 90.34% for Ce6, respectively. Meanwhile, under near-infrared (NIR) light at 660 nm, Ce6 plays a key role in accelerating the photodegradation rate of lutein and PEG-OE-L while also enhancing tissue penetration ability. Additionally, Dr-lips loaded with Ce6 and PTX not only displayed excellent pH and photo dual-responsiveness for targeted delivering and releasing but also showed remarkable reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity and impressive anti-tumor activity in vitro. Therefore, it provides a novel strategy for optimizing stability and enhancing their targeted drug delivery of liposome.

Abstract
By avoiding the filtration step and utilizing the whole components of oats, the highest utilization rate of raw materials, improving the nutritional value of products and reducing environmental pollution, can be achieved in the production of whole-grain oat drinks. This study innovatively introduced a dynamic high-pressure microfluidizer (DHPM) into the processing of whole-grain oat pulp, which aimed to achieve the efficient crushing, homogenizing and emulsification of starch, dietary fiber and other substances. Due to DHPM processing, the instability index and slope value were reduced, whereas the β-glucan content, soluble protein content and soluble dietary fiber content were increased. In the samples treated with a pressure of 120 MPa and 150 MPa, 59% and 67% more β-glucan content was released, respectively. The soluble dietary fiber content in the samples treated with a pressure of 120 MPa and 150 MPa was increased by 44.8% and 43.2%, respectively, compared with the sample treated with a pressure of 0 MPa. From the perspective of the relative stability of the sample and nutrient enhancement, the processing pressure of 120 MPa was a good choice. In addition, DHPM processing effectively reduced the average particle size and the relaxation time of the water molecules of whole-grain oat pulp, whereas it increased the apparent viscosity of whole-grain oat pulp; all of the above changes alleviated the gravitational subsidence of particles to a certain extent, and thus the overall stability of the system was improved. Furthermore, CLSM and AFM showed that the samples OM-120 and OM-150 had a more uniform and stable structural system as a whole. This study could provide theoretical guidance for the development of a whole-grain oat drink with improved quality and consistency.

Effect of oligosaccharides as lyoprotectants on the stability of curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes during lyophilization. Food Chem 2023; 410:135436.

Abstract
Nanoliposome is a promising delivery system, whereas its commercial application is limited by the structural instability, cargo leakage and particles aggregation during the processing such as freeze-drying. In this study, the effect of four oligosaccharides, fructo-oligosaccharides, lactose, inulin and sucrose (control), on the physicochemical properties, structural stability, and in vitro semi-dynamic digestion behavior of curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes were investigated before and after lyophilization. The results showed that the addition of the oligosaccharides inhibited the changes in particle size and reduced curcumin leakage from lyophilized nanoliposomes. Oligosaccharides significantly improved the physical stability of lyophilized nanoliposomes and delayed curcumin release during in vitro digestion. In addition, oligosaccharides could decrease the hydrophobicity of liposomal membrane and the tightness of phospholipid molecule arrangement, with the increase in micropolarity and fluidity of the bilayer membranes. These results suggested that fructo-oligosaccharides, lactose and inulin could be effective lyoprotectants for lyophilized nanoliposomes.

Abstract
High consumption of plant sterols reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases in humans and provides health benefits. Increasing the amount of plant sterols in the diet is therefore necessary to reach the recommended daily dietary intake. However, food supplementation with free plant sterols is challenging because of their low solubility in fats and water. The objectives of this study were to investigate the capacity of milk-sphingomyelin (milk-SM) and milk polar lipids to solubilise β-sitosterol molecules in bilayer membranes organised as vesicles called sphingosomes. The thermal and structural properties of milk-SM containing bilayers composed of various amounts of β-sitosterol were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and temperature-controlled X-ray diffraction (XRD), the molecular interactions were studied using the Langmuir film technique, the morphologies of sphingosomes and β-sitosterol crystals were observed by microscopy. We showed that the milk-SM bilayers devoid of β-sitosterol exhibited a gel to fluid Lα phase transition for Tm = 34.5 °C and formed facetted spherical sphingosomes below Tm. The solubilisation of β-sitosterol within milk-SM bilayers induced a liquid-ordered Lo phaseabove 25 %mol (1.7 %wt) β-sitosterol and a softening of the membranes leading to the formation of elongated sphingosomes. Attractive molecular interactions revealed a condensing effect of β-sitosterol on milk-SM Langmuir monolayers. Above 40 %mol (25.7 %wt) β-sitosterol, partitioning occured with the formation of β-sitosterol microcrystals in the aqueous phase. Similar results were obtained with the solubilization of β-sitosterol within milk polar lipid vesicles. For the first time, this study highlighted the efficient solubilization of free β-sitosterol within milk-SM based vesicles, which opens new market opportunities for the formulation of functional foods enriched in non-crystalline free plant sterols.

Abstract
Computationally simulated micelle models provide useful structural information on the molecular and biological sciences. One strategy to study the self-aggregation process of surfactant molecules that make up a micelle is through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In this study, a theoretical approach with a coarse-grained MD simulation (CG-MD) was employed to evaluate the critical micellar concentration (CMC), the micellization process, building a tridimensional (3D) model system of a micelle using data from the experimentally enzymatically modified phospholipids (PL) by phospholipase A1 (PA1). This required enzymatic interesterification of soybean phosphatidylcholine (PC) with caprylic acid, along with purification and characterization by chromatographic techniques to measure the esterified fatty acids and the corresponding PL composition. The number of molecules used in the CG-MD simulation system was determined from the experimental CMC data which was 0.025%. The molecular composition of the system is: 1 C 18:2, 2 C 8:0/8:0, 3 C 8:0/18:3n-9, 4 C 8:0/18:0, 5 C8:0/18:2n-6, 6 C8:0/18:1n-9, and 7 C 8:0/16:0. According to our theoretical results, the micelle model is structurally stable with an average Rg of 3.64 ± 0.10 Å, and might have an elliptical form with a radius of 24.6 Å. Regarding CMC value there was a relationship between the experimental data of the modified PLs and the theoretical analysis by GC-MD, which suggest that the enzymatic modification of PLs does not affect their self-aggregation properties. Finally, the micellar system obtained in the current research can be used as a simple and useful model to design optimal biocompatible nanoemulsions as possible vehicles for bioactive small molecules.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Nanocarriers can deliver drugs to specific organs or cells, potentially bridging the gap between a drug's function and its interaction with biological systems such as human physiology. The untapped potential of nanotechnology stems from its ability to manipulate materials, allowing control over physical and chemical properties and overcoming drug-related problems, e.g., poor solubility or poor bioavailability. For example, most protein drugs are administered parenterally, each with challenges and peculiarities. Some problems faced by bioengineered macromolecule drugs leading to poor bioavailability are short biological half-life, large size and high molecular weight, low permeability through biological membranes, and structural instability. Nanotechnology emerges as a promising strategy to overcome these problems. Nevertheless, the delivery system should be carefully chosen considering loading efficiency, physicochemical properties, production conditions, toxicity, and regulations. Moving from the bench to the bedside is still one of the major bottlenecks in nanomedicine, and toxicological issues are the greatest challenges to overcome. This review provides an overview of biotech drug delivery approaches, associated nanotechnology novelty, toxicological issues, and regulations.

Abstract
Pesticides play an important role in agricultural disease and pest control. However, the low utilization efficiency and environmentally unfriendly disadvantages of conventional pesticide formulations cause substantial environmental and ecological damage. Constructing intelligent controlled-release pesticide systems via nanotechnology is a feasible way to overcome these defects. In this research, an emamectin benzoate-loaded liposome nano-vesicle (EB-Lip-NV) with a multicompartment structure and thermo-responsive characteristics was developed to accurately control nocturnal pests and improve insecticidal activity. EB-Lip-NV is an unusual low-temperature rapid-release system based on phase transitions of the liposome membrane. Compared with the conventional water-soluble granule (SG), the EB-Lip-NV exhibited higher control activity on Spodoptera exigua. More importantly, the control efficacy of Spodoptera exigua at 20 °C was around 1.4 times that at 40 °C because of low temperature-induced rapid release. This controlled-release behavior of EB-Lip-NV in response to temperature change could effectively control the population of nocturnal pests. In addition, the toxicity of the EB-Lip-NV towards zebrafish was lower than that of SG by above 50%. This study provides a new strategy for constructing intelligent controlled-release pesticide systems with improving utilization rate and reducing harm to the environment and non-target organisms.

Abstract
A four-step synthesis of five- and six-membered E/F ring spiroethers from tigogenin has been developed. An efficient strategy that features bis-Grignard reaction of dinorcholanic lactone with appropriate bis(bromomagnesio)alkanes followed by acid-mediated spirocyclization was employed to construct a new class of steroid compounds having E and F ring junction as an oxa-carbacyclic system. The synthesized carbaanalogs interact with liposomes and albumin, and also exhibit antibacterial and antifungal activity, demonstrating their pharmacological potential.

Quality by Design steered Development of Niclosamide Loaded Liposomal Thermogel for Melanoma: In vitro and Ex vivo Evaluation. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2022; 180:119-136.

Abstract
Melanoma is the most malignant form of skin cancer across the globe. Conventional therapies are currently ineffective which could be attributed to the rampant chemo-resistance, metastasis, inability to cross the skin barriers and accumulate within the tumor microenvironment. This advent brings in the principles of drug repurposing by repositioning Niclosamide (NIC), an anthelmintic drug for skin cancer. Incorporation into the liposomes facilitated enhanced melanoma cell uptake and apoptosis. Cytotoxicity studies revealed 1.756-fold enhancement in SK-MEL-28 cytotoxicity by NIC-loaded liposomes compared to free drug. Qualitative and quantitative cell internalization indicated greater drug uptake within the melanoma cells illustrating the efficacy of liposomes as efficient carrier systems. Nuclear staining showed blebbing and membrane shrinkage. Elevated ROS levels and apoptosis shown by DCFDA and acridine orange-ethidium bromide staining revealed greater melanoma cell death by liposomes compared to free drug. Incorporating NIC liposomes into the thermogel system restricted the liposomes as a depot onto the upper skin layers. Sustained zero order release up to 48 h with liposomes and 23.58-fold increase in viscosity led to the sol-to-gel transition at 33℃ was observed with liposomal thermogel. Ex vivo gel permeation studies revealed that C-6 loaded liposomes incorporated within the thermogel successfully formed a depot over the upper skin layer for 6 h to prevent transdermal delivery and systemic adverse effects. Thus, it could be concluded that NIC loaded liposomal thermogel system could be an efficacious therapeutic alternative for the management of melanoma.

Abstract
Liposomes have several advantages, such as the ability to be employed as a carrier/vehicle for a variety of drug molecules and at the same time they are safe and biodegradable. In the recent times, compared to other delivery systems, liposomes have been one of the most well-established and commercializing drug products of new drug delivery methods for majority of therapeutic applications. On the other hand, it has several limitations, particularly in terms of stability, which impedes product development and performance. In this review, we reviewed all the potential instabilities (physical, chemical, and biological) that a formulation development scientist confronts throughout the development of liposomal formulations as along with the ways to overcome these challenges. We have also discussed the effect of microbiological contamination on liposomal formulations with a focus on the use of sterilization methods used to improve the stability. Finally, we have reviewed quality control techniques and regulatory considerations recommended by the agencies (USFDA and MHLW) for liposome drug product development.

Abstract
Current treatments for osteoarthritis (OA) offer symptomatic relief but do not prevent or halt the disease progression. Chronic low-grade inflammation is considered a significant driver of OA. Specialized proresolution mediators are powerful agents of resolution but have a short in vivo half-life. In this study, we have engineered a Resolvin D1 (RvD1)-loaded nanoliposomal formulation (Lipo-RvD1) that targets and resolves the OA-associated inflammation. This formulation creates a depot of the RvD1 molecules that allows the controlled release of the molecule for up to 11 days in vitro. In surgically induced mice model of OA, only controlled-release formulation of Lipo-RvD1 was able to treat the progressing cartilage damage when administered a month after the surgery, while the free drug was unable to prevent cartilage damage. We found that Lipo-RvD1 functions by damping the proinflammatory activity of synovial macrophages and recruiting a higher number of M2 macrophages at the site of inflammation. Our Lipo-RvD1 formulation was able to target and suppress the formation of the osteophytes and showed analgesic effect, thus emphasizing its ability to treat clinical symptoms of OA. Such controlled-release formulation of RvD1 could represent a patient-compliant treatment for OA.

Abstract
Nanotechnology involves developing, characterising, and applying structures ranging in size from 1 to 100 nm. As a key advanced technology, it has contributed to a substantial impact across engineering, medicine, agriculture and food. With regards to their application in food, nanomaterials posses the ability to lead the quantitative and qualitative development of high-quality, healthier, and safer foods by outperforming traditional food processing technologies for increasing shelf life and preventing contaminations. Although rapid progress has been made in nanotechnology in food products, the toxicity of nanoparticles and nanomaterials is not very well known. As a result, nanomaterials are potentially toxic, therefore, considering the constantly increasing employment in food science, they need to be further characterised, and their use must be better regulated. We may face a crisis of nanotoxicity if the molecular mechanisms by which nanoparticles and nanomaterials interact with food and within living organisms is not fully understood. Food safety can be guaranteed only if we are thoroughly aware of nanomaterial properties and potential toxicity. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to have in the food sector a regulatory system capable of managing nanofood risks and nanotechnology, considering the health effects of food processing techniques based on nanotechnology. This present review discusses the impact and role nanotechnology play in food science. The specific application of Nanomaterials in food science, their advantages and disadvantages, the potential risk for human health and the analysis to detect nanocomponents are also highlighted.

The spatial arrangement of astaxanthin in bilayers greatly influenced the structural stability of DPPC liposomes. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2022; 212:112383.

Abstract
Liposomes are regarded as the ideal nanocarrier for concurrent or separate delivery of nutraceuticals in the food industries. Precise control of the structural stability is essential for the processing, storage, and nutrition delivery of liposomes. Astaxanthin was found to significantly affect the membrane stability of liposomes by inserting into the phospholipid bilayers in a similar way to cholesterol. Compared with cholesterol, astaxanthin could significantly improve the phase transition temperature, membrane fluidity, and membrane compactness of liposomes. Additionally, the membrane stability was well modulated by controlling the distribution patterns of astaxanthin (monomers, H- and J-aggregates) in bilayers. For instance, astaxanthin H-aggregates could endow the liposomal membrane with highest rigidity and compactness. Additionally, astaxanthin aggregates, especially J-aggregates could greatly improve storage stability of liposomes, thus providing a novel strategy to regulate and optimize the stability of liposomes for their diversified applications.

Abstract
Cryogenic machining is one of the most commonly used techniques for processing and preserving in food industry, and traditional antifreeze agents cannot regulate the mechanical stress damage caused by ice crystals formed during recrystallization or thawing. In this study, we successfully developed an express system of a novel recombinant snow flea antifreeze peptide (rsfAFP), which has significant ice recrystallization inhibition ability, thermal hysteresis activity and alters ice nucleation, thus regulating extracellular ice crystal morphology and recrystallization. We showed that rsfAFP improved the survival rate, acid-producing ability, freezing stability, and cellular metabolism activity of Streptococcus thermophilus. We further showed that rsfAFP interacts with the membrane and ice crystals to cover the outer layer of cells, forming a dense protective layer that maintains the physiological functions of S. thermophilus under freezing stress. These findings provide the scientific basis for using rsfAFP as an effective antifreeze agent for lactic acid bacteria cryopreservation or other frozen food.

Abstract
DHA loaded nanoliposomes, stabilized by β-sitosterol, were prepared by thin film hydration-sonication method. The characteristics and membranes properties of DHA-NLs with different β-sitosterol content were measured. The samples with the same formulation were used to measure the resistance of environment stress and controlled release & absorption of DHA in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that the maximal encapsulation efficiency of DHA-NLs was (86.95 ± 0.95)%, when the ratio of soybean lecithin to β-sitosterol was 5:1. The particle size of all samples was within 200 nm and relative retention rate was more than 60% after 3 weeks storage. The area under the curve of DHA concentration of DHA-NLs and DHA-emulsion groups was 1.32 and 1.08, respectively. In summary, the nanoliposomes were promising to improve the absorption of DHA in form of ethyl ester.

Abstract
Background Cancer is one of the devastating diseases in the world. The development of nanocarrier provides a promising perspective for improving cancer therapeutic efficacy. However, the issues with potential toxicity, quantity production, and excessive costs limit their further applications in clinical practice. Results Herein, we proposed a nanocarrier obtained from aloe with stability and leak-proofness. We isolated nanovesicles from the gel and rind of aloe (gADNVs and rADNVs) with higher quality and yield by controlling the final centrifugation time within 20 min, and modulating the viscosity at 2.98 mPa S and 1.57 mPa S respectively. The gADNVs showed great structure and storage stability, antioxidant and antidetergent capacity. They could be efficiently taken up by melanoma cells, and with no toxicity in vitro or in vivo. Indocyanine green (ICG) loaded in gADNVs (ICG/gADNVs) showed great stability in both heating system and in serum, and its retention rate exceeded 90% after 30 days stored in gADNVs. ICG/gADNVs stored 30 days could still effectively damage melanoma cells and inhibit melanoma growth, outperforming free ICG and ICG liposomes. Interestingly, gADNVs showed prominent penetrability to mice skin which might be beneficial to noninvasive transdermal administration. Conclusions Our research was designed to simplify the preparation of drug carrier, and reduce production cost, which provided an alternative for the development of economic and safe drug delivery system.

Abstract
As a sustainable strategy to valorize the main effluent of the cheese industry and potent environmental pollutant, whey, several biopolymer-whey vesicles loaded with gingerol were tailored for counteracting intestinal oxidative stress and boosting wound healing. An eco-friendly method was used to combine whey with four different water-dispersible biopolymers (xanthan gum, tragacanth, Arabic gum and sodium alginate), phospholipid and a natural antioxidant (gingerol). The results of cryogenic transmission microscopy and dynamic light scattering indicated that the vesicles were mostly unilamellar and small in size (∼100 nm) with low polydispersity index, high negative zeta potential and ability to entrap a high amount of gingerol (up to 94%). The vesicles could maintain their structures in acidic and neutral media and Turbiscan® technology confirmed their stability during the storage. Vesicles prepared with whey and tragacanth exhibited the highest capability to protect intestinal cells from damages induced by hydrogen peroxide. When Arabic and tragacanth gums were added to the whey vesicles, the closure rate of the scratched area was fast and no trace of the wound was observed after 72 h of treatment. These promising findings could open a new horizon in the application of whey in nanomedicine for the treatment of intestinal damages.
