Singh P, Mahar R. Cyclodextrin in drug delivery: Exploring scaffolds, properties, and cutting-edge applications. Int J Pharm 2024; 662:124485. [PMID: 39029633 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124485] [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: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are unique cyclic compounds that can form inclusion complexes via host-guest complexation with a wide range of molecules, thereby altering their physicochemical properties. These molecules offer the formation of inclusion complexes without the formation of covalent bonds, making them suitable for a variety of applications in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. Due to their supramolecular host-guest properties, CDs are being utilized in the fabrication of biomaterials, metal-organic frameworks, and nano-drug carriers. Additionally, CDs in combination with biomolecules are biocompatible and can deliver nano to macromolecules at the site of drug actions. However, the availability of free hydroxyl groups and a simple crosslinking process for supramolecular fabrication show immense opportunities for researchers in the field of tissue engineering and biomedical applications. In this review article, we have covered the historical development, various types of chemical frameworks, unique chemical and physical properties, and important applications of CDs in drug delivery and biomedical sciences.

Citric acid cross-linked pomegranate peel extract-loaded pH-responsive β-cyclodextrin/carboxymethyl tapioca starch hydrogel film for diabetic wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133366. [PMID: 38914385 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133366] [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: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
Pomegranate peel extract (PPE) hydrogel films filled with citric acid (CA) and β-cyclodextrin-carboxymethyl tapioca starch (CMS) were designed mainly to prevent wound infections and speed up the healing process. FTIR and NMR studies corroborated the carboxymethylation of neat tapioca starch (NS). CMS exhibited superior swelling behavior than NS. The amount of CA and β-CD controlled the physicochemical parameters of developed PPE/CA/β-CD/CMS films. Optimized film (OF) exhibited acceptable swellability, wound fluid absorptivity, water vapor transmission rate, water contact angle, and mechanical properties. Biodegradable, biocompatible, and antibacterial films exhibited pH dependence in the release of ellagic acid for up to 24 h. In mice model, PPE/CA/β-CD/CMS hydrogel film treatment showed promising wound healing effects, including increased collagen deposition, reduced inflammation, activation of the Wingless-related integration site (wnt) pathway leading to cell division, proliferation, and migration to the wound site. The expression of the WNT3A gene did not show any significant differences among all the studied groups. Developed PPE-loaded CA/β-CD/CMS film promoted wound healing by epithelialization, granulation tissue thickness, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis, hence could be recommended as a biodegradable and antibacterial hydrogel platform to improve the cell proliferation during the healing of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Herein, we synthesized hydrogel films from crosslinked polyethylene oxide (PEO) and guar gum (GG) which can offer hydrophilicity, antibacterial efficacy, and neovascularization. This study focuses on synthesis and material/biological characterization of rosemary (RM) and citric acid (CA) loaded PEO/GG hydrogel films. Scanning Electron Microscopy images confirmed the porous structure of the developed hydrogel film matrix (PEO/GG) and the dispersion of RM and CA within it. This porous structure promotes moisture adsorption, cell attachment, proliferation, and tissue layer formation. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) further validated the crosslinking of the PEO/GG matrix, as confirmed by the appearance of C-O-C linkage in the FTIR spectrum. PEO/GG and PEO/GG/RM/CA revealed similar degradation and release kinetics in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, Simulated Body Fluid, and Phosphate Buffer Saline (degradation of ∼55 % and release of ∼60 % RM in 168 h.). The developed hydrogel film exhibited a zone of inhibition against Escherichia. coli (2 mm) and Staphylococcus. aureus (9 mm), which can be attributed to the presence of RM in the hydrogel film. Furthermore, incorporating CA in the hydrogel film promoted neovascularization, as confirmed by the Chorioallantoic Membrane Assay. The developed RM and CA-loaded PEO/GG-based hydrogel films offered suitable in-vitro properties that may aid in potential wound healing applications.

Abstract
Fertilizers with enhanced efficiency or high-efficiency fertilizers increase the nutrient availability, minimize losses, and reduce costs, thereby increasing crop yields and food production while mitigating environmental impacts. This research evaluates the synthesis of biodegradable hydrogels from cassava starch and citric acid for agrochemical applications. Hydrogels were synthesized using water as the solvent and applied for the controlled release of macronutrients (N and K). Four concentrations of nutrient-containing salts were tested (0.5 to 10.0% w/w). Materials were analyzed using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and swelling studies. The presence of nutrients reduced both the crosslinking efficacy and the water absorption capacity, with the latter dropping from 183.4 ± 0.6% to 117.9 ± 3.7% and 157.4 ± 25.0% for hydrogels loaded with NH4Cl and KCl, respectively. The cumulative release of K and N from the hydrogel was monitored for 144 h and examined using kinetics models, revealing that the releases follow Fickian's diffusion and anomalous diffusion, respectively. Additionally, the material was formed using cassava with peel previously milled to reduce the production costs, and its potential for nutrient-controlled delivery was evaluated, with the finding that this hydrogel decreases the release rate of nitrogen. The results suggest that these biomaterials may have promising applications in the agrochemical industry in the making of high-efficiency fertilizers.

Abstract
A novel thermal-responsive β-cyclodextrin-based magnetic hydrogel [β-cyclodextrin-graft-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/Fe3O4 (β-CD-g-PNIPAAm/Fe3O4)] was fabricated as a novel nanomedicine for chemo/hyperthermia treatment of cancer cells. Firstly, β-CD was modified by maleic anhydride (MA) followed by copolymerization with NIPAAm monomer and thiol-end capped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of a crosslinker through acrylamide-thiol polymerization system to afford a magnetic hydrogel. The saturation magnetization (δ s) value for developed hydrogel was determined to be 8.2 emu g-1. The hydrogel was physically loaded with an anticancer agent, doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox). The encapsulation efficiency (EE) of drug into the hydrogel was obtained as 73 %. The system represented acceptable thermal-triggered drug release behavior that best fitted with Higuchi model, demonstrating the release of drug is mostly controlled by diffusion mechanism. The anticancer performance of the β-CD-g-PNIPAAm/Fe3O4-Dox was evaluated using MCF7 cells by MTT-assay. In addition, flow cytometry analyses showed considerable cellular uptake of Dox in the cells treated with β-CD-g-PNIPAAm/Fe3O4-Dox (∼70 %) compared to free Dox (∼28 %). As results, in time period of 48 h by combination of chemo- and hyperthermia-therapies, the developed system displayed greater anticancer efficiency than the free Dox.

Abstract
The investigation of exosomes holds substantial importance in the field of disease diagnosis and prognosis, where in the rapid and low-loss isolation of exosomes emerges as a crucial step owing to their exceedingly low concentration in bodily fluids. Herein, bifunctional immunoaffinity magnetic nanoparticles (BI-NPs) were successfully constructed by binding Ti4+ and antibody to magnetic nanoparticles through host-guest interaction. Exosomes in the cell culture supernatant could be effectively captured by the BI-NPs and then gently eluted with α-CD and 10% ammonia solution. Following the elution process, the content of captured exosome protein was determined to be up to 97 μg/mL. A total of 2822 protein groups were identified in the exosomes isolated by BI-NPs, 1060 protein groups were derived from exosomes. At the same time, the mass of exosome protein obtained by BI-NPs was more than 2 times that of UC isolation, and the above results indicated that BI-NPs had high purity enrichment performance. This is attributed to the fact that BI-NPs combine the dual affinity of Ti4+ and antibody to achieve efficient enrichment of exosomes, in addition to the mild elution property of BI-NPs due to the presence of the host-guest system. BI-NPs offer a novel approach for the isolation of exosomes, in order to further promote the application of exosomes in the required fields.

Abstract
This study focuses on the investigation of the significance of polymers in drug delivery approaches. The carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and dextrin-based hydrogel membrane were prepared and employed for the sustained release of third-generation oral antibiotic (cefixime). Different proportions of CMC, PVA and dextrin were blended and hydrogel membranes were fabricated via solvent casting method. The prepared membrane was characterized by FTIR, SEM, UV-visible, TGA and swelling analysis. Cefixime drug was incorporated in the CMC/PVA/dextrin matrix and drug release was investigated. The sustained release of the tested drug (cefixime) was investigated and the drug was released in 120 min in the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution. The antibacterial activity of the prepared membrane was promising against Proteus vulgaris, salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis strains. The swelling capabilities, thermal stability and non-toxic nature of the prepared CMC/PVA/dextrin membrane could have potential applications for cefixime drug in delivery in a controlled way for the treatment of infectious diseases.

Abstract
The most prevalent carbohydrate on Earth is cellulose, a polysaccharide composed of glucose units that may be found in diverse sources, such as cell walls of wood and plants and some bacterial and algal species. The inherent availability of this versatile material provides a natural pathway for exploring and identifying novel uses. This study comprehensively analyzes cellulose and its derivatives, exploring their structural and biochemical features and assessing their wide-ranging applications in tissue fabrication, surgical dressings, and pharmaceutical delivery systems. The use of diverse cellulose particles as fundamental components gives rise to materials with distinct microstructures and characteristics, fulfilling the requirements of various biological applications. Although cellulose boasts substantial potential across various sectors, its exploration has predominantly unfolded within industrial realms, leaving the biomedical domain somewhat overlooked in its initial stages. This investigation, therefore, endeavors to shed light on the contemporary strides made in synthesizing cellulose and its derivatives. These innovative techniques give rise to distinctive attributes, presenting a treasure trove of advantages for their compelling integration into the intricate tapestry of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Natural polysaccharides are being studied for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, and low cost in the fabrication of various hydrogel devices. However, due to their insufficient physicochemical and mechanical qualities, polysaccharide hydrogels alone are not acceptable for biological applications. Various synthetic crosslinkers have been tested to overcome the drawbacks of standalone polysaccharide hydrogels; however, the presence of toxic residual crosslinkers, the generation of toxic by-products following biodegradation, and the requirement of toxic organic solvents for processing pose challenges in achieving the desired non-toxic biomaterials. Natural crosslinkers such as citric acid, tannic acid, vanillin, gallic acid, ferulic acid, proanthocyanidins, phytic acid, squaric acid, and epigallocatechin have been used to generate polysaccharide-based hydrogels in recent years. Various polysaccharides, including cellulose, alginate, pectin, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan, have been hydrogelized and investigated for their potential in drug delivery and tissue engineering applications using natural crosslinkers. We attempted to provide an overview of the synthesis of polysaccharide-based hydrogel systems (films, complex nanoparticles, microspheres, and porous scaffolds) based on green crosslinkers, as well as a description of the mechanism of crosslinking and properties with a special emphasis on drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Due to the features of high porosity, high water content, and tunable viscoelasticity, hydrogels have attracted numerous attentions in the promotion of wound closure. However, the lack of abilities to adapt the wounds of complex shapes and prevent postoperative adhesion limits their therapeutic outcomes in wound healing. To address the above challenges, the supramolecular chitin-based (SMCT) hydrogels are created via the host-guest pre-assembly strategy of β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and adamantane (Ad). The reversible host-guest crosslinks endow the SMCT hydrogels with highly dynamic networks, which can better accommodate irregularly shaped wounds compared with the covalent chitin-based hydrogels with similar mechanical properties. In addition, the SMCT hydrogels show rapid in vivo degradability (degradation time ≈ 2 days) due to the enzyme-triggered degradability of chitin, which do not need to be removed from the wounds after service and thus avoid the secondary damage to skin during dressing change. Owing to the hydrophobic cavity of βCD, the SMCT hydrogels can facilitate the load and release of curcumin with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidative activities, thereby significantly improving the wound healing efficiency. This work provides valuable guidance to the design of self-adaptive and fast-degradable hydrogels that hold great potential for enhancing the wound healing in skin and other tissues.

The β-cyclodextrins (β-CD) are biocompatible macrocyclic candidates for the preparation of various composites with enhanced functions. While nontoxic and biodegradable citric acid (CA) is the favorite crosslinking agent for fabricating hierarchical advanced structures. The carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on CA can serve as "structural bridges" and enhance the solubility of β-CD. Leading to the construction of CA cross-linked β-CD with marvelous complicated structures and targeted functions. Here, we directly categorized the grafted composite materials into two main types such as organic and inorganic materials. Particularly, some representative composite materials are listed and analyzed in detail according to their preparation, advantages of unique characteristics, as well as the possible applications in environmental and biomedical fields such as adsorption of pollutants, sensors, and biomedical applications.

Food Sci Nutr 2024; 12:116-130. [PMID: 38268910 PMCID: PMC10804110 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.3746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass, bone microarchitecture disruption, and collagen loss, leading to increased fracture risk. In the current study, collagen peptides were extracted from milkfish scales (MS) to develop potential therapeutic candidates for osteoporosis. MS was used to synthesize a crude extract of fish scales (FS), collagen liquid (COL), and hydroxyapatite powder (HA). COL samples were further categorized according to the peptide size of total COL (0.1 mg/mL), COL < 1 kDa (0.1 mg/mL), COL: 1-10 kDa (0.1 mg/mL), and COL > 10 kDa (0.1 mg/mL) to determine it. Semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (sqRT-PCR) and immunofluorescence labeling were used to assess the expression levels of specific mRNA and proteins in vitro. For in vivo studies, mice ovariectomy (OVX)-induced postmenopausal osteoporosis were developed, while the sham surgery (Sham) group was treated as a control. Collagen peptides (CP) from MS inhibited osteoclast differentiation in RAW264.7 cells following an insult with nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL). CP also enhanced osteoblast proliferation in MG-63 cells, possibly through downregulating NFATc1 and TRAP mRNA expression and upregulating ALP and OPG mRNA levels. Furthermore, COL1 kDa also inhibited bone density loss in osteoporotic mice. Taken together, CP may reduce RANKL-induced osteoclast activity while promoting osteoblast synthesis, and therefore may act as a potential therapeutic agent for the prevention and control of osteoporosis.

Abstract
A series of hydrogels were synthesized from renewable and low-cost micro-sized cellulose fiber. The single-network hydrogel was composed of cellulose fiber and a small amount of another polysaccharide, chitosan, which 'glued' individual cellulose fiber pieces together through Schiff-base bonding. The double-network hydrogel was constructed by adding a secondary network, the covalently crosslinked polyacrylamide, into the single-network hydrogel, which was synthesized by conducting Schiff-base reaction and free radical polymerization at the same time in a facile one-pot process. In both single- and double-network hydrogels, cellulose fiber constituted the dominant component. Both types of hydrogels exhibited good swelling properties. The double-network hydrogel showed much improved stability against soaking in water and higher salt tolerance. Germination experiment with choy sum seeds sowed on hydrogel surface showed that the seeds were able to germinate and further develop roots, shoots, and true leaves, demonstrating the potential of the biomass-derived hydrogels for soilless plant growing applications.

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Bioadhesive Hydrogels for Topical Application and Sustained Drug Release: The Effect of Polyvinylpyrrolidone on the Physicomechanical Properties of Hydrogel. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2360. [PMID: 37765328 PMCID: PMC10537184 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15092360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrogels are homogeneous three-dimensional polymeric networks capable of holding large amounts of water and are widely used in topical formulations. Herein, the physicomechanical, rheological, bioadhesive, and drug-release properties of hydrogels containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were examined, and the intermolecular interactions between the polymers were explored. A three-level factorial design was used to form HPMC-PVP binary hydrogels. The physicomechanical properties of the binary hydrogels alongside the homopolymeric HPMC hydrogels were characterized using a texture analyzer. Rheological properties of the gels were studied using a cone and plate rheometer. The bioadhesiveness of selected binary hydrogels was tested on porcine skin. Hydrophilic benzophenone-4 was loaded into both homopolymeric and binary gels, and drug-release profiles were investigated over 24 h at 33 °C. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to understand the inter-molecular drug-gel interactions. Factorial design analysis supported the dominant role of the HPMC in determining the gel properties, rather than the PVP, with the effect of both polymer concentrations being non-linear. The addition of PVP to the HPMC gels improved adhesiveness without significantly affecting other properties such as hardness, shear-thinning feature, and viscosity, thereby improving bioadhesiveness for sustained skin retention without negatively impacting cosmetic acceptability or ease of use. The release of benzophenone-4 in the HPMC hydrogels followed zero-order kinetics, with benzophenone-4 release being significantly retarded by the presence of PVP, likely due to intermolecular interactions between the drug and the PVP polymer, as confirmed by the FTIR. The HPMC-PVP binary hydrogels demonstrate strong bioadhesiveness resulting from the addition of PVP with desirable shear-thinning properties that allow the formulation to have extended skin-retention times. The developed HPMC-PVP binary hydrogel is a promising sustained-release platform for topical drug delivery.

Abstract
The development of an approach or a material for wound healing treatments has drawn a lot of attention for decades and has been an important portion of the research in the medical industry. Especially, there is growing interest and demand for the generation of wound care products using eco-friendly conditions. Electrospinning is one of these methods that enables the production of nanofibrous materials with attractive properties for wound healing under mild conditions and by using sustainable sources. In this study, starch-derived cyclodextrin (hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD)) was used both for forming an inclusion complex (IC) with acyclovir, a well-known antiviral drug, and for electrospinning of free-standing nanofibers. The nanofibers were produced in an aqueous system, without using a carrier polymer matrix and toxic solvent/chemical. The ultimate HPβCD/acyclovir-IC nanofibers were thermally cross-linked by using citric acid, listed in the generally regarded as safe (GRAS) category by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The cross-linked HPβCD/acyclovir-IC nanofibers displayed stability in aqueous medium. The hydrogel-forming feature of nanofibers was confirmed with their high swelling profile in water in the range of ∼610-810%. Cellulose acetate (CA)/acyclovir nanofibers were also produced as the control sample. Due to inclusion complexation with HPβCD, the solubility of acyclovir was improved, so cross-linked HPβCD/acyclovir-IC nanofibrous hydrogels displayed a better release performance compared to CA/acyclovir nanofibers. Here, a pH-dependent release profile was obtained (pH 5.4 and pH 7.4) besides their attractive swelling features. Therefore, the cross-linked HPβCD/acyclovir-IC nanofibrous hydrogel can be a promising candidate as a wound healing dressing for the administration of antiviral drugs by holding the unique properties of CD and electrospun nanofibers.

Abstract
Among different form of cyclodextrin (CD), β-CD has been taken a special attraction in pharmaceutical science due to lowest aqueous solubility and adequate cavity size. When β-CD forms inclusion complex with drugs then biopolymers such as polysaccharides in combination plays a vital role as a vehicle for safe release of drugs. It is noticed that, β-CD assisted polysaccharide-based composite achieves better drug release rate through host-guest mechanism. Present review is a critical analysis of this host-guest mechanism for release of drugs from polysaccharide supported β-CD inclusion complex. Various important polysaccharides such as cellulose, alginate, chitosan, dextran, etc. in relevant to drug delivery are logically compared in present review by their association with β-CD. Efficacy of mechanism of drug delivery by different polysaccharides with β-CD is analytically examined in schematic form. Drug release capacity at different pH conditions, mode of drug release, along with characterization techniques adopted by individual polysaccharide-based CD complexes are comparatively established in tabular form. This review may explore better visibility for researchers those are working in the area of controlled release of drugs by vehicle consist of β-CD associated polysaccharide composite through host-guest mechanism.

Abstract
The aim of present work was to synthesize and characterize carboxymethyl tamarind gum-polyvinyl alcohol (CMTG-PVA) hydrogel films using citric acid (CA) as a crosslinker. Hydrogel films were prepared by solvent casting technique. The films were evaluated for total carboxyl content (TCC), tensile strength, protein adsorption, permeability properties, hemocompatibility, swellability, moxifloxacin (MFX) loading and release, in-vivo wound healing activity and characterized using instrumental techniques. An optimal increase in amount of PVA and CA increased the TCC and tensile strength of the hydrogel films. Hydrogel films exhibited low protein adsorption and microbial permeation, good permeability to water vapour and oxygen, and sufficient hemocompatibility. The films prepared using high concentration of PVA and low concentration of CA showed good swellability in phosphate buffer and simulated wound fluids. MFX loading in the hydrogel films was found in the range of 384-440 mg/g. The hydrogel films sustained the release of MFX up to 24 h. The release followed Non-Fickian mechanism. ATR-FTIR, solid state 13C NMR and TGA analysis indicated formation of ester crosslinks. In-vivo study revealed good wound healing activity for hydrogel films. From the overall study, it can be concluded that the citric acid crosslinked CMTG-PVA hydrogel films can be effectively used for wound treatment.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin and its derivative (CDs) are natural building blocks for linking with other components to afford functional biomaterials. Hydrogels are polymer network systems that can form hydrophilic three-dimensional network structures through different cross-linking methods and are developing as potential materials in biomedical applications. Natural polysaccharide hydrogels (NPHs) are widely adopted in biomedical field with good biocompatibility, biodegradability, low cytotoxicity, and versatility in emulating natural tissue properties. Compared with conventional NPHs, CD regulated natural polysaccharide hydrogels (CD-NPHs) maintain good biocompatibility, while improving poor mechanical qualities and unpredictable gelation times. Recently, there has been increasing and considerable usage of CD-NPHs while there is still no review comprehensively introducing their construction, classification, and application of these hydrogels from the material point of view regarding biomedical fields. To draw a complete picture of the current and future development of CD-NPHs, we systematically overview the classification of CD-NPHs, and provide a holistic view on the role of CD-NPHs in different biomedical fields, especially in drug delivery, wound dressing, cell encapsulation, and tissue engineering. Moreover, the current challenges and prospects of CD-NPHs are discussed rationally, providing an insight into developing vibrant fields of CD-NPHs-based biomedicine, and facilitating their translation from bench to clinical medicine.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins, cyclic oligosaccharides composed of five or more α-D-glucopyranoside units linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds, are widely used both in their native forms as well as the components of more sophisticated materials. Over the last 30 years, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) has been used to characterize cyclodextrins (CDs) and CD-including systems, such as host-guest complexes or even more sophisticated macromolecules. In this review, the examples of such studies have been gathered and discussed. Due to the variety of possible ssNMR experiments, the most common approaches have been presented to provide the overview of the strategies employed to characterize those useful materials.

Abstract
In the early 2000s, a method for cross-linking cyclodextrins (CDs) with citric acid (CTR) was developed. This method was nontoxic, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive compared to the others previously proposed in the literature. Since then, the CD/CTR biopolymers have been widely used as a coating on implants and other materials for biomedical applications. The present review aims to cover the chemical properties of CDs, the synthesis routes of CD/CTR, and their applications as drug-delivery systems when coated on different substrates. Likewise, the molecules released and other pharmaceutical aspects involved are addressed. Moreover, the different methods of pretreatment applied on the substrates before the in situ polymerization of CD/CTR are also reviewed as a key element in the final functionality. This process is not trivial because it depends on the surface chemistry, geometry, and physical properties of the material to be coated. The biocompatibility of the polymer was also highlighted. Finally, the mechanisms of release generated in the CD/CTR coatings were analyzed, including the mathematical model of Korsmeyer-Peppas, which has been dominantly used to explain the release kinetics of drug-delivery systems based on these biopolymers. The flexibility of CD/CTR to host a wide variety of drugs, of the in situ polymerization to integrate with diverse implantable materials, and the controllable release kinetics provide a set of advantages, thereby ensuring a wide range of future uses.

Abstract
In the past couple of years, cellulose has attracted a significant amount of attention and research interest due to the fact that it is the most abundant and renewable source of hydrogels. With increasing environmental issues and an emerging demand, researchers around the world are focusing on naturally produced hydrogels in particular due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and abundance. Hydrogels are three-dimensional (3D) networks created by chemically or physically crosslinking linear (or branching) hydrophilic polymer molecules. Hydrogels have a high capacity to absorb water and biological fluids. Although hydrogels have been widely used in food applications, the majority of them are not biodegradable. Because of their functional characteristics, cellulose-based hydrogels (CBHs) are currently utilized as an important factor for different aspects in the food industry. Cellulose-based hydrogels have been extensively studied in the fields of food packaging, functional food, food safety, and drug delivery due to their structural interchangeability and stimuli-responsive properties. This article addresses the sources of CBHs, types of cellulose, and preparation methods of the hydrogel as well as the most recent developments and uses of cellulose-based hydrogels in the food processing sector. In addition, information regarding the improvement of edible and functional CBHs was discussed, along with potential research opportunities and possibilities. Finally, CBHs could be effectively used in the industry of food processing for the aforementioned reasons.

Abstract
The progress of nanotechnology enables us to make use of the special properties of materials on the nanoscale and open up many new fields of biomedical research. Among them, thermosensitive nanomaterials stand out in many biomedical fields because of their “intelligent” behavior in response to temperature changes. However, this article mainly reviews the research progress of thermosensitive nanomaterials, which are popular in biomedical applications in recent years. Here, we simply classify the thermally responsive nanomaterials according to the types of polymers, focusing on the mechanisms of action and their advantages and potential. Finally, we deeply investigate the applications of thermosensitive nanomaterials in drug delivery, tissue engineering, sensing analysis, cell culture, 3D printing, and other fields and probe the current challenges and future development prospects of thermosensitive nanomaterials.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage from wounds with deep and irregular cavities is short of efficient hemostats. Here we report a citric acid-cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose nanofiber (CA-CMCNF) aerogel for the control of bleeding from penetrating wounds. The compressed CA-CMCNF aerogel could quickly swell into its original shape in water in seconds. The maximum mass and volume expansion ratios were over 6800 and 3000%, respectively. The water-swellable property allows the aerogel to self-expand and fill in the cavities of wounds. The in situ-generated expansion pressure resisted the systolic blood pressure, and the plentiful carboxyl groups triggered the active coagulation pathway, both contributing to the hemostatic capability of the aerogel. Additionally, the aerogel had good biocompatibility and excellent antibacterial capability. The animal experiments revealed that the aerogels significantly reduced both the hemostasis time and the amount of bleeding in a liver penetrating model. Therefore, this study provides a safe and robust hemostatic aerogel for controlling bleeding from penetrating wounds.

Abstract
Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer materials that can swell but are insoluble in water. Hydrogels can be synthesized with synthetic or natural polymers, but natural polymers are preferred because they are similar to natural tissues, which can absorb a high water content, are biocompatible, and are biodegradable. The three-dimensional structure of the hydrogel affects its water insolubility and ability to maintain its shape. Cellulose hydrogels are preferred over other polymers because they are highly biocompatible, easily accessible, and affordable. Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMCNa) is an example of a water-soluble cellulose derivative that can be synthesized using natural materials. A crosslinking agent is used to strengthen the properties of the hydrogel. Chemical crosslinking agent is used more often than physical crosslinking agent. In this review, article, different types of crosslinking agents are discussed based on synthetic and natural crosslinking agents. Hydrogels that utilize synthetic crosslinking agent have advantages, such as adjustable mechanical properties and easy control of the chemical composition. However, hydrogels that use natural crosslinking agent have better biocompatibility and less latent toxic effect.

Abstract
In recent years, cellulose has attracted much attention because of its excellent properties, such as its hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, biodegradability, biocompatibility, low cost and low toxicity. In addition, cellulose and its derivatives contain abundant hydrophilic functional groups (such as hydroxyl, carboxyl and aldehyde groups), which are good raw materials for synthesizing biocompatible hydrogels. In this paper, the application prospects of cellulose and its derivatives-based hydrogels in biomedical tissue engineering are summarized and discussed through the analysis of recent research. Firstly, we discuss the structure and properties of cellulose, nano celluloses (NC) from different sources (including cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and bacterial nano celluloses (BNC)) and cellulose derivatives (including cellulose ethers and cellulose esters) obtained by different modification methods. Then, the properties and preparation methods of physical and chemical cellulose hydrogels are described, respectively. The application of cellulose-based hydrogels as a tissue engineering scaffold (skin, bone and cartilage) in the biomedical field is introduced. Finally, the challenges and prospects of cellulose-based hydrogels in tissue engineering are summarized.

Abstract
Lignin-containing bamboo cellulose, fractionated from a pilot-scale microwave liquefaction of bamboo was dissolved in tetrabutylammonium acetate/dimethyl sulfoxide (TBAA/DMSO) for the fabrication of highly flexible, transparent and UV-blocking films. Tea polyphenol (TP) or citric acid (CA) was added during the dissolving process in order to modify the film's properties. The results showed that the addition of TP obviously improved the elongation at break (triple that of the control) and UV-blocking ability of the films. Both the addition of TP and CA could increase the water contact angle of the films. The films incorporated with TP and CA were much more thermal stable than previously reported similar films. The proposed film fabrication mechanism revealed that stable hydrogen bonds formed between the lignin-cellulose matrix and TP/CA, resulting in the enhancement on the properties of the films. This present study showed that lignin-containing cellulose with the incorporation of TP/CA had great potential in the preparation of films in place of plastic.

Abstract
Citric acid, a tricarboxylic acid, has found wide application in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry due to its biocompatibility, versatility, and green, environmentally friendly chemistry. This review emphasizes the pharmaceutical uses of citric acid as a strategic ingredient in drug formulation while focusing on the impact of its physicochemical properties. The functionality of citric acid is due to its three carboxylic groups and one hydroxyl group. These allow it to be used in many ways, including its ability to be used as a crosslinker to form biodegradable polymers and as a co-former in co-amorphous and co-crystal applications. This paper also analyzes the effect of citric acid in physiological processes and how this effect can be used to enhance the attributes of pharmaceutical preparations, as well as providing a critical discussion on the issues that may arise out of the presence of citric acid in formulations.

Fish Collagen Peptides Protect against Cisplatin-Induced Cytotoxicity and Oxidative Injury by Inhibiting MAPK Signaling Pathways in Mouse Thymic Epithelial Cells. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20040232.

Abstract
Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) account for the most abundant and dominant stromal component of the thymus, where T cells mature. Oxidative- or cytotoxic-stress associated injury in TECs, a significant and common problem in many clinical settings, may cause a compromised thymopoietic capacity of TECs, resulting in clinically significant immune deficiency disorders or impairment in the adaptive immune response in the body. The present study demonstrated that fish collagen peptides (FCP) increase cell viability, reduce intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and impede apoptosis by repressing the expression of Bax and Bad and the release of cytochrome c, and by upregulating the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL in cisplatin-treated TECs. These inhibitory effects of FCP on TEC damage occur via the suppression of ROS generation and MAPK (p38 MAPK, JNK, and ERK) activity. Taken together, our data suggest that FCP can be used as a promising protective agent against cytotoxic insults- or ROS-mediated TEC injury. Furthermore, our findings provide new insights into a therapeutic approach for the future application of FCP in the prevention and treatment of various types of oxidative- or cytotoxic stress-related cell injury in TECs as well as age-related or acute thymus involution.

Design and Characterization of Agarose/HPMC Buccal Films Bearing Ondansetron HCl In Vitro and In Vivo: Enhancement Using Iontophoretic and Chemical Approaches. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:1662194.

Abstract
The study was aimed at designing and characterizing the ondansetron hydrochloride (OND) bearing agarose (AG), and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) mucoadhesive buccal films employing glycerol as a plasticizer. The buccal delivery of ondansetron hydrochloride was remarkably boosted by employing physical (iontophoresis) and chemical enhancement approaches (chemical penetration enhancers). To explore the influence of different formulation components, i.e., agarose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), and glycerol on various evaluating parameters, i.e., tensile strength, swelling index, ex vivo mucoadhesion time, and subsequently on in vitro drug release, a D-optimal design was opted. A buccal film bearing OND was mounted on bovine buccal mucosa for ex vivo permeation studies and impact of chemical and physical enhancement techniques on the permeation profile was also analysed. A linear release profile was revealed in in vitro drug release of OND over 60 minutes and outcomes ascertained the direct relationship between HPMC content and in vitro drug release and inverse relationship was depicted by AG content. The FTIR and DSC thermal analysis was executed to determine the physicochemical interactions and results exposed no chemical interactions between drug and polymers. The drug (OND) appeared as tiny crystals on smooth film surface during scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. A notable enhancement in permeation flux, i.e., 761.02 μg/min of OND during ex vivo permeation studies was witnessed after the application of current (0.5-1 mA) without any time lag and with enhancement ratio of 3.107. A time lag of 15 minutes, 19 minutes, and 26 minutes with permeation flux of 475.34 μg/min, 399.35 μg/min, and 244.81 μg/min was observed after chemical enhancer pretreatment with propylene glycol, Tween 80, and passive, respectively. Rabbit was employed as the experimental animal for pharmacokinetic studies (in vivo) and cats for pharmacological activity (in vivo), and the results illustrated the enhanced bioavailablity (2.88 times) in the iontophoresis animal group when compared with the rabbits of control group. Likewise, a remarkable reduction in emesis events was recorded in cats of iontophoresis group. Conclusively, the histopathological examinations on excised buccal mucosa unveiled no severe necrotic or cytopathetic outcomes of current.

Abstract
Water pollution, which has become a global problem in parallel with environmental pollution, is a problem that needs to be solved urgently, considering the gradual depletion of water resources. The inadequacy of the water treatment methods and the materials used somehow directed the researchers to look for dual character structures such as biocompatible and biodegradable β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). β-CD, which is normally insoluble in water, is used in demanding wastewater applications by being modified with the help of different agents to be water soluble or transformed into polymeric adsorbents as a result of co-polymerization via cross-linkers. In this way, in addition to the host-guest interactions offered by β-CD, secondary forces arising from these interactions provide advantages in terms of regeneration and reusability. However, the adsorption efficiency and synthesis steps need to be improved. Based on the current studies presented in this review, in which cross-linkers and modification methods are also mentioned, suggestions for novel synthesis methods of new-generation β-CD-based materials, criticisms, and recent methods of removal of micropollutants such as heavy metals, industrial dyes, harmful biomolecules, and pharmaceutics wastes are mentioned.

Abstract
The contamination of hydrosoluble pesticides in water could generate a serious problem for biotic and abiotic components. The removal of a hazardous agrochemical (paraquat) from water was achieved by adsorption processes using poly(vinyl alcohol)-cyclodextrin nanosponges, which were prepared with various formulations via the crosslinking between citric acid and β-cyclodextrin in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol). The physicochemical properties of nanosponges were also characterized by different techniques, such as gravimetry, thermogravimetry, microscopy (SEM and Stereo), spectroscopy (UV-visible, NMR, ATR-FTIR, and Raman), acid-base titration, BET surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction, and ion exchange capacity. The C10D-P2 nanosponges displayed 60.2% yield, 3.14 mmol/g COOH groups, 0.335 mmol/g β-CD content, 96.4% swelling, 94.5% paraquat removal, 0.1766 m2 g-1 specific surface area, and 5.2 × 10-4 cm3 g-1 pore volume. The presence of particular peaks referring to specific functional groups on spectroscopic spectra confirmed the successful polycondensation on the reticulated nanosponges. The pseudo second-order model (with R2 = 0.9998) and Langmuir isotherm (with R2 = 0.9979) was suitable for kinetics and isotherm using 180 min of contact time and a pH of 6.5. The maximum adsorption capacity was calculated at 112.2 mg/g. Finally, the recyclability of these nanosponges was 90.3% of paraquat removal after five regeneration times.

Abstract
Nontoxic materials with natural origin are promising materials in the designing and preparation of the new drug delivery systems (DDSs). Today's, citric acid (CA) has attracted a great deal of attention because of its special features; green nature, biocompatibility, low price, biodegradability, and commercially available property. So, CA has been employed in the preparation of the various platforms to induce a suitable property on their structure. Recently, several research groups investigated the CA-based platforms in different forms like tablets, dendrimers, hyperbranched polymers, (co)polymer, hydrogels, and nanoparticles as efficient DDSs. By considering an increasing amount of published articles in this field, for the first time, in this review, an overview of the published works regarding CA applications in the design of various DDSs is presented with a detailed and insightful discussion.

AAPS PharmSciTech 2021; 22:181. [PMID: 34129154 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-021-02054-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, two hydrophilic polymers hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) are used to synthesize highly responsive and spongy polymeric matrices. Porous and stimulus-responsive polymeric network was developed to improve the solubility of acyclovir (ACV) at significant level. Grafting was successfully carried out by free radical polymerization technique. Spongy matrices were characterized by percentage entrapment efficiency, drug loading, solubility studies, FTIR, powder X-ray diffraction, TGA, DSC, XRD, SEM, swelling studies, and in vitro studies. Acute oral toxicity studies were conducted to determine the safety of oral administration of prepared HPMC-βCD-g-poly(AMPS) formulation. Porous and spongy structures were depicted in SEM images. Complex formation and thermal stability of constituents and drug (ACV) were analyzed by FTIR, TGA, and DSC spectra. XRD analysis revealed reduction in acyclovir crystallinity in spongy matrices. Particle size of optimized formulation was found in the range of 197 ± 2.55 nm. The momentous difference with reference product committed that drug solubility and release characteristics were markedly enhanced by the developed spongy matrices. Toxicity studies endorsed that developed spongy matrices were non-toxic and compatible to biological system. The efficient method of preparation, enhanced solubility, excellent physico-chemical characteristics, high dissolution, and non-toxic HPMC-βCD-g-poly(AMPS) spongy matrices may be a promising approach for oral delivery of poorly soluble drugs.

Abstract
Three different polysaccharides, xanthan gum, chitosan and locust bean gum, were crosslinked with or without β-cyclodextrin, using citric acid in different ratios, to create 'green' hydrogel matrices. The crosslinking of these polysaccharides was produced through an inexpensive and innocuous solvent-free synthesis process. A favorable swelling behavior of the hydrophilic matrices facilitates the sorption of the solutes tested. Interestingly, the amount of β-cyclodextrin groups is not the only factor to yield the best sorption capability for hydrophobic model molecules: polysaccharides themselves also influence the sorption depending on their characteristic functional groups, the conformation of their chains and, as mentioned above, their degrees of swelling. In order to ascertain the effect of the polysaccharides on the sorption capabilities of a model sorbate (1-naphthol), isotherms using a wide range of solute concentrations were analyzed, and the Hill equation yielded the best fitting results and provided some insight into the mechanisms of interaction.

Abstract
The incorporation of cyclodextrins into polymeric crosslinked gels of hydrophilic nature can be useful for promoting the sorption of hydrophobic molecules and/or modulating the release of active principles. The covalent addition of these excipients to the matrix integrates their solubilizing effect that can contribute to increase the capacity of retention of hydrophobic substances. In this study, three diverse polysaccharides, chitosan, xanthan gum, and locust bean gum, were crosslinked with or without β-cyclodextrin, using citric acid in different ratios, to create hydrogel matrices. Through a green synthetic path, the efficient production of soluble and insoluble (hydrogel) networks functionalized with β-cyclodextrin was achieved by means of a solventless procedure. The characterization of their chemical composition, swelling in water, and their sorption and release behavior were also carried out in this work.

Abstract
This review summarizes the preparation methods of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and the progress in the research pertaining to their surface modification. Moreover, the preparation and surface modification of nanocellulose were comprehensively introduced based on the existing literature. The review focuses on the mechanical treatment of cellulose, the surface modification of fibrillated fibers during pretreatment, the surface modification of nanocellulose and the modification of CNFs and their functional application. In the past five years, research on cellulose nanofibrils has progressed with developments in nanomaterials research technology. The number of papers on nanocellulose alone has increased by six times. However, owing to its high energy consumption, high cost and challenging industrial production, the applications of nanocellulose remain limited. In addition, although nanofibrils exhibit strong biocompatibility and barrier and mechanical properties, their high hydrophilicity limits their practical application. Current research on cellulose nanofibrils has mainly focused on the industrial production of CNFs, their pretreatment and functional modification and their compatibility with other biomass materials. In the future, with the rapid development of modern science and technology, the demand for biodegradable biomass materials will continue to increase. Furthermore, research on bio-based nanomaterials is expected to advance in the direction of functionalization and popularization.

Abstract
Kynurenic acid demonstrates antioxidant, neuroprotective and free radical scavenging properties. However, low aqueous solubility of kynurenic acid limits its therapeutic activity. In the present study, cyclodextrin nanosponges were used to improve the solubility and therapeutic activity of kynurenic acid. The formation of kynurenic acid loaded nanosponge was confirmed by different characterization techniques. The solubility of kynurenic acid was significantly increased with nanosponge (111.1 μg/ml) compared to free kynurenic acid (16.4 μg/ml) and β-cyclodextrin (28.6 μg/ml). High drug loading (19.06%) and encapsulation efficiency (95.31%) were achieved with NS. The particle size and zeta potential of kynurenic acid loaded nanosponge was around 255.8 nm and -23 mV respectively. Moreover, higher solubilization of kynurenic acid loaded nanosponge produced better antioxidant activity compared to free kynurenic acid. The kynurenic acid loaded nanosponge and blank nanosponge were found nontoxic in the cytotoxicity assay. Thus, these studies demonstrated that nanosponges can be used as a carrier for the delivery of kynurenic acid.
