Int J Pharm 2024; 657:124048. [PMID: 38537925 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124048] [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: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) is an anticancer agent used in cancer chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to design nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) of DOX as smart chemotherapy to improve its photostability and anticancer efficacy. The characteristics of DOX and DOX-loaded NLCs were investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, particle size, and zeta potential study. The cytotoxicity of DOX was evaluated against three cancer cell lines (HeLa, A549, and CT-26). The particle size and zeta potential were in the range 58.45-94.08 nm and -5.80 mV - -18.27 mV, respectively. The chemical interactions, particularly hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, between DOX and the main components of NLCs was confirmed by FTIR. NLCs showed the sustained release profile of DOX. The photostability results revealed that the NLC system improved the photostability of DOX. Cytotoxicity results using the three cell lines showed that all formulations improved the anticancer efficacy of free DOX, and the efficacy was dependent on cell type and particle size. These results suggest that DOX-loaded NLCs are promising chemotherapeutic agents for cancer treatment.

Tissue Eng Regen Med 2023; 20:879-892. [PMID: 37580648 PMCID: PMC10519900 DOI: 10.1007/s13770-023-00567-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The formation of an inhibitory inflammatory microenvironment after spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a great challenge for nerve regeneration. The poor local microenvironment exacerbates nerve cell death; therefore, the reconstruction of a favorable microenvironment through small-molecule drugs is a promising strategy for promoting nerve regeneration. METHODS In the present study, we synthesized curcumin-loaded micelle nanoparticles (Cur-NPs) to increase curcumin bioavailability and analyzed the physical and chemical properties of Cur-NPs by characterization experiments. We established an in vivo SCI model in rats and examined the ability of hind limb motor recovery using Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan scoring and hind limb trajectory assays. We also analyzed neural regeneration after SCI using immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS The nanoparticles achieved the intelligent responsive release of curcumin while improving curcumin bioavailability. Most importantly, the released curcumin attenuated local inflammation by modulating the polarization of macrophages from an M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype to an M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype. M2-type macrophages can promote cell differentiation, proliferation, matrix secretion, and reorganization by secreting or expressing pro-repair cytokines to reduce the inflammatory response. The enhanced inflammatory microenvironment supported neuronal regeneration, nerve remyelination, and reduced scar formation. These effects facilitated functional repair in rats, mainly in the form of improved hindlimb movements. CONCLUSION Here, we synthesized pH/temperature dual-sensitive Cur-NPs. While improving the bioavailability of the drug, they were also able to achieve a smart responsive release in the inflammatory microenvironment that develops after SCI. The Cur-NPs promoted the regeneration and functional recovery of nerves after SCI through anti-inflammatory effects, providing a promising strategy for the repair of SCIs.

Abstract
The residual and scattered small tumor tissue or cells after surgery are the main reason for tumor recurrence. Chemotherapy has a powerful ability to eradicate tumors but always accompanied by serious side effects. In this work, tissue-affinity mercapto gelatin (GelS) and dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid (HAD) were employed to fabricate a hybridized cross-linked hydrogel scaffold (HG) by multiple chemical reactions, which could integrate the doxorubicin (DOX) loaded reduction-responsive nano-micelle (PP/DOX) into this scaffold via click reaction to obtain the bioabsorbable nano-micelle hybridized hydrogel scaffold (HGMP). With the degradation of HGMP, PP/DOX was slowly released and formed targeted PP/DOX with degraded gelatin fragments as target molecules, which increased the intracellular accumulation, and inhibited the aggregation of B16F10 cells in vitro. In mouse models, HGMP absorbed the scattered B16F10 cells and released targeted PP/DOX to suppress tumorigenesis. For another, implantation of HGMP at the surgical site reduced the recurrence rate of postoperative melanoma and inhibited the growth of recurrent tumors. Meanwhile, HGMP significantly relieved the damage of free DOX to hair follicle tissue. This bioabsorbable nano-micelle hybridized hydrogel scaffold provided a valuable strategy for adjuvant therapy after tumor surgery.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur) has anticancer properties but exhibits poor aqueous solubility, permeability, and photostability. In this study, we aimed to develop a solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) system to enhance Cur bioavailability. The characteristics of Cur-loaded SLNs prepared by sonication were evaluated using UV-vis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The mean particle size of the stearic acid-based, lauric acid-based, and palmitic acid-based SLNs was 14.70-149.30, 502.83, and 469.53 nm, respectively. The chemical interactions between Cur and lipids involved hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. The formulations with high van der Waals forces might produce a neat arrangement between Cur and lipids, leading to a decrease in particle size. The Cur formulations showed enhanced cytotoxicity in HeLa, A549, and CT-26 cells compared with pure Cur. Additionally, the anticancer effect is dependent on particle size and the type of cell line. Therefore, Cur-loaded SLNs have the potential for use in anticancer therapy.

Abstract
The underprivileged pharmacodynamic action of curcumin, which arose from its low water solubility and rapid metabolism, restricts its therapeutic performance. In this study, (2-Hydroxy isopropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) as a macrocycle host molecule was employed to enhance the availability and control release of curcumin by forming a host-guest inclusion complex within an in-situ forming alginate hydrogel. The formation of the inclusion complexes of curcumin with a single host molecule was characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA, SEM, and DLS analyses. The inclusion complex of curcumin and HPβCD (HPβCD-Cur) showed a high encapsulation efficiency of 88.2 %. According to DLS results, aqueous dispersion of HPβCD-Cur exhibited a unimodal histogram after 2 and 7 days with average particles size of 207.5 and 230.6 nm, respectively. This observation could be because of the formation of an inclusion complex that effectively distributed in solution and prevented curcumin agglomeration. The prepared alginate hydrogel containing HPβCD-Cur demonstrated >87 % reduction in colonies of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which significantly is higher than that for Alg/Cur (<69 %). The Alg/HPβCD-Cur hydrogel exhibited a high water uptake of 470 % after 2 h, and a curcumin cumulative release of 80 % over 72 h, with proper cytocompatibility. Consequently, it was shown that the HPβCD carrier could act as an apt host molecule that can properly encapsulate curcumin and enhance its release from the Alg/HPβCD-Cur hydrogel.

Abstract
COVID-19 disease has put life of people in stress worldwide from many aspects. Since the virus has mutated in absolutely short period of time the challenge to find a suitable vaccine has become harder. Infection to COVID-19, especially at severe life threatening states is highly dependent on the strength of the host immune system. This system is partially dependent on the balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant. Besides, this virus still has unknown mechanism of action companied by a probable commune period. From another hand, some reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels can be helpful on the state determination of the disease. Thus it could be possible to use modern bioanalytical techniques for their detection and determination, which could indicate the disease state at the golden time window since they have the potential to show whether specific DNA, RNA, enzymes and proteins are affected. This also could be used as a preclude study or a reliable pathway to define the best optimized time of cure beside effective medical actions. Herein, some ROS and their relation with SARS-CoV-2 virus have been considered. In addition, modern bioelectroanalytical techniques on this approach from quantitative and qualitative points of view have been reviewed.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to enhance the antitumor effect of piperine by constructing the nanoparticles modified with transferrin (Tf-PIP-NPs) and evaluating their efficacy in vitro and in vivo. The Tf-PIP-NPs were prepared by the solvent evaporation method, and their properties were characterized. The effects of Tf-PIP-NPs on cytotoxicity, cell uptake, apoptosis, and mitochondrial membrane potential were evaluated in HepG2 cells, MDA-MB-231 cells, and 4T1 cells. In a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model, the antitumor efficacy of Tf-PIP-NPs was assessed in terms of tumor volumes, changes in body weight, HE staining, and immunohistochemical analysis. With a mean particle size of 112.2 ± 1.27 nm, the zeta potential of (- 28.0 ± 1.6 mV) Tf-PIP-NPs were rapidly internalized by tumor cells after 1 h through the transferrin receptor (TfR)-mediated endocytosis pathway, significantly inducing cellular apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential loss. Although Tf-PIP-NPs had no significant difference with PIP-NPs in tumor volume inhibition due to the presence of tumor microenvironment, it could significantly upregulate the expression of related pro-apoptotic proteins and induce tumor necrosis. We used the self-assembly properties of glycyrrhizic acid (GL) and polymer-PLGA to encapsulate piperine and modified with the transferrin, which provided a promising approach to improve the antitumor efficacy for anticarcinogen.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) is a phenolic compound that is safe for human consumption. It exhibits chemopreventive, antiproliferative, antiangiogenic, and antimetastatic effects. However, these benefits can be hampered due to the lipophilic nature, rapid metabolism, low bioavailability, and fast elimination of the molecule. Considering this, the present work reviews the use of CUR-based nanosystems as anticancer agents, including conventional nanosystems (i.e., liposomes, nanoemulsions, nanocrystals, nanosuspensions, polymeric nanoparticles) and nanosystems that respond to external stimuli (i.e., magnetic nanoparticles and photodynamic therapy). Previous studies showed that the effects of CUR were improved when loaded into nanosystems as compared to the free compound, as well as synergist effects when it is co-administrated alongside with other molecules. In order to maximize the beneficial health effects of CUR, critical factors need to be strictly controlled, such as particle size, morphology, and interaction between the encapsulating material and CUR. In addition, there is an area of study to be explored in the development of CUR-based smart materials for nanomedical applications. Imaging-guided drug delivery of CUR-based nanosystems may also directly target specific cells, thereby increasing the therapeutic and chemopreventive efficacy of this versatile compound.

Abstract
Bacterial resistance to antimicrobial drugs is one of the biggest threats to human health and novel drugs, and strategies are needed to obviate this resistance crisis. An innovative strategy for designing novel antimicrobial drugs is based on the hybridization of an antimicrobial agent with a second functional entity. Here, we use a cell-penetrating peptide-octaarginine (R8) as the second functional entity and develop a complex or hybrid of R8 and curcumin that possibly targets the bacterial cell membrane. Minimum inhibitory concentration assays show that the antibacterial activity of the complex is enhanced in a synergistic manner and rapid killing kinetics are obtained, emphasizing a bactericidal mode of action. In addition, electron microscopy images reveal bacterial membrane disruption by the complex. The R8-curcumin complex also displays activity against HeLa cells.

Abstract
This study aimed to design the ideal nanonizing vehicle for poorly water-soluble model curcumin (CCM) using fattigation-platform nanotechnology, and to investigate the effects of fatty acid salts chain length on nanonizing CCM and its efficient delivery to different cancer cells. HSA-fatty acid conjugates were synthesized by EDC/NHS coupling. Fattigation-platform nanomicelles (NMs), prepared by film hydration, exhibited uniform and spherical morphology, although, each NM varied in particle size, zeta potential, and critical micelle concentration according to the types of fatty acid. Preliminary solubility studies of albumin conjugates with 5 types of fatty acid salts of different chain lengths revealed that C14 exhibited the highest solubilization of CCM. CCM-loaded HSA-C14 NMs demonstrated the highest drug content (5.35 ± 0.48%) and loading efficiency (95.93 ± 1.87%) compared to other NMs. It exhibited enhanced drug release rate and reduced micelle size in biorelevant dissolution medium. Interestingly, this solubilization approach was well applied in poorly water-soluble docetaxel trihydrate (DTX). Preliminary solubility results of DTX was also corresponded to the stable nanonization phenomenon in biorelevant dissolution medium. Compared to the CCM EtOH solution, HSA-C14 NMs showed higher internalization in cancer cell lines A549 and MCF-7, and consequently, exhibited significantly increased cytotoxicity against both cell lines. Therefore, this study provides a new solubilization approach for poorly water-soluble drugs using fatty acid salts of different chain lengths and their micellar formations via nanonization, which could be a promising tool for targeted cancer therapy using poorly water-soluble drugs.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease, which can cause endless suffering to the patients and severely impact their normal lives. To treat RA, the drugs in use have many serious side effects, high cost, or only focus on their anti-inflammatory mechanisms without taking joint lubrication into consideration. Therefore, in this study, we aim to construct a novel anti-RA drug composed of hyaluronic acid/curcumin (HA/Cur) nanomicelle to resolve these problems. Characterizations show that Cur is bound to HA by ester linkages and self-assembles to form a spherical nanomicelle with a diameter of around 164 nm under the main driving of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic forces. The nanomicelle enjoys excellent biocompatibility that effectively promotes the proliferation of chondrocytes. When injected to the RA rats, the nanomicelle significantly lowers the edema degree of the arthritic rats compared to other groups; more critically, a dramatic decrease in friction between the surfaces of cartilage around the joints has been found, which protects the cartilage from the RA-induced damage. Additionally, systematic mechanism investigation indicates that the nanomicelle diminishes the expression of related cytokines and vascular endothelial growth factor, finally leading to the excellent performance. The newfound nanomicelle has a potential for clinical practice of RA therapy, which will contribute significantly to alleviating the pain of patients and improving the quality of life for them.

Abstract
In the present investigation we have prepared and characterized curcumin (CN)-containing chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) coated with Eudragit FS 30D for colon-specific drug delivery for treatment of ulcerative colitis. METHODS CS-NPs were prepared by ionic gelation using tripolyphosphate. To specify pH sensitive delivery, CS-CN-NPs were coated with Eudragit FS 30D by using a solvent evaporation method. Different process parameters were evaluated, and the optimized formulation was characterized by particle size, size distribution, zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency before lyophilization. The lyophilized product was further subjected to Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and particle morphology and in vitro drug release in different media were studied. RESULTS the kinetics of in vitro drug release from the CS-CN-NPs revealed sustained release behaviour of the developed carriers. In vivo biodistribution study by gamma-scintigraphy showed good accumulation of the developed nanocarriers in the colonic region. CONCLUSION sustained and pH stimulated delivery of CN to the colon was successfully attained via coating of CS-NPs with Eudragit FS 30D to circumvent poor absorption and availability of CN.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop the surface modification of docetaxel nanocrystals (DTX-NCs) with apo-Transferrin human (Tf) for improving the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of DTX. DTX-NCs were prepared by a nanoprecipitation method, and the surface modified with Tf by an adsorption method (Tf-DTX-NCs). The morphology and particle size of DTX-NCs and Tf-DTX-NCs were characterized using a field emission scanning electron microscope and zetasizer. An in vitro drug release study was performed in phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.5% (w/v) Tween 80 for 24 hours. Cellular uptake was studied at 0.5, 1, and 2 hours. A cytotoxicity study was performed using the A549 (human lung cancer) cell line after 24-, 48-, and 72-hour treatments. The mean sizes were 295±97 and 398±102 nm for DTX-NCs and Tf-DTX-NCs, respectively. Tf-DTX-NCs and DTX-NCs exhibited rapid drug release, whereas DTX (pure) was slowly released. Tf-DTX-NCs showed higher cellular uptake than DTX-NCs in confocal microscopic and quantitative studies. Moreover, at DTX concentration of 100 µg/mL, Tf-DTX-NCs (82.6%±0.8%) showed higher cytotoxicity than DTX-NCs (77.4%±4.1%) and DTX (pure; 20.1%±4.6%) for 72-hour treatment. In conclusion, Tf-DTX-NCs significantly improved the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of DTX in the A549 cell line.

Abstract
To overcome the toxicity of excipient or blank nanoparticles for drug delivery nano-system, the surface modified paclitaxel nanocrystals (PTX-NC) have been developed. PTX-NCs were prepared by nano-precipitation method. The surface of PTX-NCs were modified by grafting with apo-transferrin (Tf) or hyaluronic acid (HA). The physical properties of PTX-NCs were evaluated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), zeta-sizer, zeta-potential, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry. In vitro drug release study was performed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with or without 0.5% (w/v) Tween 80 for 24h. Cellular uptake was studied at time intervals of 0.5, 1, and 2h in MCF-7 cells, and cell growth inhibition study was performed for 24h using MCF-7 cells (cancer cells), and HaCaT cells (normal cells). Three different types of PTX-NCs with a mean size of 236.0±100.6nm (PTX-NC), 302.0±152.0nm (Tf-PTX-NC) and 339±180.6nm (HA-PTX-NC) were successfully prepared. The drug release profiles showed 29.1%/6.9% (PTX (pure)), 40.7%/23.9% (PTX-NC), 50.5%/25.1% (Tf-PTX-NC) and 46.8/24.8% (HA-PTX-NC) in PBS with/without 0.5% (w/v) Tween 80 for 24h, respectively. As per the results, the drug release of PTX-NCs showed the faster release as compared to that of PTX (pure). Surface modified PTX-NCs exhibited higher values for cell permeability than unmodified PTX-NC in the cellular uptake study. Surface modified PTX-NCs inhibited the cell growth approximately to 60% in MCF-7 cells, however effect of surface modified PTX-NCs on normal cell line was lower than the PTX-NC and PTX (pure). In conclusion, biological macromolecules (Tf or HA) surface modified PTX-NC enhanced the cellular uptake and the cell growth inhibition.
