Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 250:126228. [PMID: 37558030 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
The pH-sensitive and magnetic-triggered release ensures the effective delivery of drugs. Chitosan carries amine pendants that encourage the fabrication of pH-responsive carriers. Montmorillonite (MMt), an attractive nano-clay in drug delivery possessing high encapsulation properties, was magnetized through the co-precipitation of Fe3+/Fe2+ ions. The study aimed to integrate the magnetic montmorillonite (mMMt) into the chitosan matrix and crosslinked by citric acid (CA) to achieve the nanocomposite carrier with double-responsive features for effective drug delivery. The release evaluation revealed that coating the mMMt with CA-crosslinked chitosan prevented the burst release of Ciprofluxcacin (Cip). The nanocomposite showed a high sustained release, and the release rate in the neutral environment (pH 7.4) was remarkably higher than in acidic media (pH 5.8). The new nanocomposite carrier showed high encapsulation efficiency to Cip (about 98 %). The study was developed by investigating external magnetic effects on the release rate, which lead to an increase in the release rate. The kinetics studies confirmed the diffusion mechanism for Cip release in all experimental media. The Cip-loaded nanocomposite carriers showed antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases, and current treatment regimens suffer from limited efficacy, nonspecific toxicity, and chemoresistance. With the advantages of good biocompatibility, large specific surface area, excellent cation exchange capacity, and easy availability, clay minerals have been receiving ever-increasing interests in cancer treatment. They can act as carriers to reduce the toxic side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs, and some of their own properties can kill cancer cells, etc. Compared with other morphologies clays, layered clay minerals (LCM) have attracted more and more attention due to adjustable interlayer spacing, easier ion exchange, and stronger adsorption capacity. In this review, the structure, classification, physicochemical properties, and functionalization methods of LCM are summarized. The state-of-the-art progress of LCM in antitumor therapy is systematically described, with emphasis on the application of montmorillonite, kaolinite, and vermiculite. Furthermore, the property-function relationships of LCM are comprehensively illustrated to reveal the design principles of clay-based antitumor systems. Finally, foreseeable challenges and outlook in this field are discussed.

Abstract
Numerous compounds present in the ocean are contributing to the development of the biomedical field. Agarose, a polysaccharide derived from marine red algae, plays a vital role in biomedical applications because of its reversible temperature-sensitive gelling behavior, excellent mechanical properties, and high biological activity. Natural agarose hydrogel has a single structural composition that prevents it from adapting to complex biological environments. Therefore, agarose can be developed into different forms through physical, biological, and chemical modifications, enabling it to perform optimally in different environments. Agarose biomaterials are being increasingly used for isolation, purification, drug delivery, and tissue engineering, but most are still far from clinical approval. This review classifies and discusses the preparation, modification, and biomedical applications of agarose, focusing on its applications in isolation and purification, wound dressings, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and 3D printing. In addition, it attempts to address the opportunities and challenges associated with the future development of agarose-based biomaterials in the biomedical field. It should help to rationalize the selection of the most suitable functionalized agarose hydrogels for specific applications in the biomedical industry.

Abstract
In the present research work, a highly recyclable catalyst of Ag-based agarose (HRC-Ag/Agar) hydrogel was successfully fabricated through a simple and efficient in situ reduction method without the aid of additional surface active agent. The interaction between the rich hydroxyl functional (-OH) groups in agarose and Ag can effectively control the growth and dispersion of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) in the HRC-Ag/Agar hydrogel and keep Ag NPs free from chemical contamination, which also guarantees the reusability of HRC-Ag/Agar hydrogel as catalysts. HRC-Ag/Agar hydrogel without freeze drying and calcination was investigated for their potential applications as highly active/recyclable catalysts in reducing aromatic organic pollutants (p-nitrophenol (4-NP), methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB)) by KBH4. The optimal HRC-Ag/Agar-1.9 hydrogel can complete the catalytic reduction of 4-NP within 11 min. Moreover, HRC-Ag/Agar-1.9 hydrogel achieves the high conversion rate (> 99%) through ten catalytic runs. Similarly, HRC-Ag/Agar-1.9 hydrogel was able to achieve a reduction efficiency of RhB at 98% within 17 min and that of MB at 95% within 40 min. The advantages of simple synthetic procedure, no secondary pollution, strong stability and easily separated make the HRC-Ag/Agar hydrogel have great potential prospect for environmental applications.

Abstract
Hydrogels are a promising drug delivery system for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility and similarity to native tissue. Programming the release rate from hydrogels is critical to ensure release of desired dosage over specified durations, particularly with the advent of more complicated medical regimens such as combinatorial drug therapy. While it is known how hydrogel structure affects release, the parameters that can be explicitly controlled to modulate release ab initio could be useful for hydrogel design. In this review, we first survey common physical models of hydrogel release. We then extensively go through the various input parameters that we can exercise direct control over, at the levels of synthesis, formulation, fabrication and environment. We also illustrate some examples where hydrogels can be programmed with the input parameters for temporally and spatially defined release. Finally, we discuss the exciting potential and challenges for programming release, and potential implications with the advent of machine learning.

Abstract
Implementing novel oral drug delivery systems with controlled drug release behavior is valuable in cancer therapy. Herein, a green synthetic approach based on the sol-gel technique was adopted to prepare MgFe2O4 nanoparticles at different calcination temperatures using citric acid as a chelating/combustion agent. In this context, pH-responsive and magnetic carboxymethyl starch/alginate hydrogel beads (CMCS-SA) containing the MgFe2O4 nanoparticles were developed as potential drug carriers for the anticancer drug (Doxorubicin, Dox) release in simulated gastrointestinal fluids. Furthermore, in vitro release behaviors validated that these beads illustrated excellent stability in the simulated stomach liquids. In contrast, the data in simulated intestinal fluids showed sustained release of Dox because of their pH-sensitive swelling characteristics. Notably, applying an external magnetic field (EMF) could accelerate drug release from the beads. The in vitro release of drugs from gel beads was mainly accomplished by a combination of diffusion, swelling and erosion. Moreover, the cell cytotoxicity test and laser confocal results showed no harmful effects on normal cells (3T3) but were significant cytotoxic to colon cancer cell lines (HCT116) by drug-loaded hydrogel beads. Therefore, the prepared gel beads could be qualified as latent platforms for controlling the release of anticancer drugs in cancer treatment.

Silk Fibroin Hydrogel Reinforced With Magnetic Nanoparticles as an Intelligent Drug Delivery System for Sustained Drug Release. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:891166.

Abstract
Due to the well-known biocompatibility, tunable biodegradability, and mechanical properties, silk fibroin hydrogel is an exciting material for localized drug delivery systems to decrease the therapy cost, decrease the negative side effects, and increase the efficiency of chemotherapy. However, the lack of remote stimuli response and active drug release behavior has yet to be analyzed comparatively. In this study, we developed magnetic silk fibroin (SF) hydrogel samples through the facile blending method, loaded with doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and incorporated with different concentrations of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), to investigate the presumable ability of controlled and sustained drug release under the various external magnetic field (EMF). The morphology and rheological properties of SF hydrogel and magnetic SF hydrogel were compared through FESEM images and rheometer analysis. Here, we demonstrated that adding magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) into SFH decreased the complex viscosity and provided a denser porosity with a bigger pore size matrix structure, which allowed the drug to be released faster in the absence of an EMF. Release kinetic studies show that magnetic SF hydrogel could achieve controlled release of DOX in the presence of an EMF. Furthermore, the drug release from magnetic SF hydrogel decreased in the presence of a static magnetic field (SMF) and an alternating magnetic field (AMF), and the release rate decreased even more with the higher MNPs concentration and magnetic field strength. Subsequently, Wilms’ tumor and human fibroblast cells were cultured with almost the same concentration of DOX released in different periods, and cell viability was investigated using MTT assay. MTT results indicated that the Wilms’ tumor cells were more resistant to DOX than the human fibroblasts, and the IC50 values were calculated at 1.82 ± 0.001 and 2.73 ± 0.004 (μg/ml) for human fibroblasts and Wilms’ tumor cells, respectively. Wilms’ tumor cells showed drug resistance in a higher DOX concentration, indicating the importance of controlled drug delivery. These findings suggest that the developed magnetic SFH loaded with DOX holds excellent potential for intelligent drug delivery systems with noninvasive injection and remotely controlled abilities.

Hu X, Wang Y, Zhang L, Xu M. Simple ultrasonic-assisted approach to prepare polysaccharide-based aerogel for cell research and histocompatibility study. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 188:411-420. [PMID: 34375664 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.08.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Revised: 07/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Salecan, a water-soluble microbial polysaccharide with attractive biocompatible characteristics, is very suitable for aerogel fabrication. However, the practical application of salecan-based aerogels for cell culture was limited by complicated preparation method, lack of cell anchorage signals, and the ability to modulate this properly. Here, a smart aerogel was designed by ultrasonic-assisted self-assembly of salecan and cationic starch (CAS) without any organic and toxic crosslinkers. The ultrasound waves generated a marked impact on self-assemble process by means of ultrasonic cavitation. Aerogel network was produced by strong electrostatic attractions between the polysaccharides. Especially, salecan/CAS ratio can be precisely modulated to tailor the hydrophilicity, mechanical stiffness, and morphologic property. The specific surface area of the aerogels gradually increased with the increase in salecan/CAS ratio. These aerogels were non-cytotoxic, and the incorporation of salecan into them promoted cell-matrix interactions by directionally supporting cell adhesion and proliferation. Most strikingly, in vivo experiment revealed that the histological features in the main organs of the mice were similar to those observed in the PBS-treated control group, and no sign of the histopathological abnormality or tissue destruction was observed, indicating the excellent histocompatibility of the aerogels. This study offered a new and powerful avenue to fabricate functional biomaterial.

Abstract
Smart hydrogels which can respond to external stimuli have been widely focused with increasing interest. Thereinto, magnetic-responsive hydrogels that are prepared by embedding magnetic nanomaterials into hydrogel networks are more advantageous in biomedical applications due to their rapid magnetic response, precisely temporal and spatial control and non-invasively remote actuation. Upon the application of an external magnetic field, magnetic hydrogels can be actuated to perform multiple response modes such as locomotion, deformation and thermogenesis for therapeutic purposes without the limit of tissue penetration depth. This review summarizes the latest advances of magnetic-responsive hydrogels with focus on biomedical applications. The synthetic methods of magnetic hydrogels are firstly introduced. Then, the roles of different response modes of magnetic hydrogels played in different biomedical applications are emphatically discussed in detail. In the end, the current limitations and future perspectives for magnetic hydrogels are given.

Abstract
This work aimed to design montmorillonite-incorporated pH-responsive and magnetic κ-carrageenan/chitosan hydrogels via a completely green route for controlled release of sunitinib anticancer drug. This was accomplished by ionic cross-linking of two biopolymers, κ-carrageenan and chitosan, in the presence of magnetic montmorillonite (mMMt) nanoplatelets. Interestingly, it was observed that the amount of mMMt affected not only the microstructure of hydrogels, but also the drug loading efficiency of nanocomposite hydrogels was noticeably increased by introducing mMMt (from 69 to 96%). The in vitro sunitinib release experiments showed that a low content of loaded sunitinib was released from all hydrogels in the buffered solution with pH 7.4. In contrast, a relatively sustained release with a high content of drug release was observed in the acidic solution of pH 5.5. During 48 h, the hydrogels nanocomposite containing a high content of mMMt showed cumulative release of 64.0 and 8.6% at pH 5.5 and 7.4, respectively. During two days, while the cumulative release of sunitinib was obtained 84.3% for the magnetic-free hydrogel, the magnetic ones showed 74.4 and 64% with the low and high contents of magnetic MMt, respectively. The developed κ-carrageenan/chitosan hydrogels with a high capacity of drug loading and subsequent pH-sensitive drug release can be considered in prolonged cancer therapy with reduced side effects.

Abstract
In this work, an innovative composite hydrogel composed of curdlan (CD)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels with a 3-d network structure was successfully prepared by freeze-thaw processing. The presence of interactions, changes in crystallinity, and thermal behaviour were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetry (TGA and DTG), respectively. The morphology of the hydrogels was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). With the increase of PVA concentration, the composite hydrogel had a greater mechanical strength while remaining remarkably ductile as evinced by tensile test results. PVA content affects the swelling and water retention of CD/PVA hydrogels. The results of CCK-8 assay showed that CD/PVA hydrogels have no cytotoxic effect on the mouse fibroblast L929 cells. The AO/EB double-staining experiment further proved that the cells in the composite hydrogels had good cytocompatibility. The porous biohydrogels developed in the present work can provide an ideal cell growth environment as a scaffold. CD/PVA hydrogels highlight the value of this system for cell adhesion and proliferation, and further soft tissue engineering application.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer death with a high probability of treatment failure. Doxorubicin (DOXO) is an efficient antitumor drug; however, most CRC cells show resistance to its effects. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are potential cancer management tools that can serve as diagnostic agents and also can optimize and personalize treatments. This work aims to evaluate the aptitude of magnetic nanotheranostics composed of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles coated with folic acid intended to the sustained release of DOXO. The administration of DOXO by means of these MNPs resulted in the enhancement of cell death respect to the free drug administration. Chromatin compaction and cytoplasmic protrusions were observed. Mitochondrial transmembrane potential disruption and increased PARP protein cleavage confirmed apoptosis. The nanosystem was also tested as a vectoring tool by exposing it to the stimuli of a static magnetic field in vitro. CRC-related magnetic nanotechnology still remains in pre-clinical trials. In this context, this contribution expands the knowledge of the behavior of MNPs in contact with in vitro models and proposes the nanodevices studied here as potential theranostic agents for the monitoring of the progress of CRC and the evolution of its treatment.

Abstract
The very recent Covid-19 pandemic has made the need to understand biocompatible polymers as support material in drug delivery systems and controlled release clearer, especially for organo-hydrogels. This study aims to synthesize various new polymeric materials called gels, hydrogels, and organo-hydrogels according to the monomer used and to investigate their use as drug release systems. The agar-glycerol (AG) pair was used to synthesize the polymers, N, N, methylene bisacrylamide (MBA, m) and glutaraldehyde (GA, g) were used as cross-linkers and peppermint oil (PmO) was included to obtain the organo-hydrogels. Therefore, one AG gel and two p (AG-m) and p (GA-g) hydrogels were synthesized within the scope of the study. Six different organo-hydrogels based on p(AG-m-PmO) or p (AG-g-PmO) were also synthesized by varying the amount of peppermint oil. Paracetamol and carboplatin were selected as the sample drugs. Synthesized gels, hydrogels and organo-hydrogels were characterized by FTIR and SEM analysis. Additionally, swelling behaviors of the synthesized gels were investigated in different media (ID water, tap water, ethanol, acetone, ethanol/ID water (1:1), acetone/ID water (1:1) and gasoline) and at different pHs. Moreover, it was determined that organo-hydrogels were blood compatible and had antioxidant properties based on hemolysis, blood clotting and antioxidant analysis. Therefore, the release of paracetamol (a known antipyretic-painkiller, recommended and used in the treatment of Covid-19) and carboplatin (widely used in cancer treatment) were studied. Evidently, as the amount of PMO oil increases, the -OH groups in organo-hydrogels will increase and the chemical and physical bonding rates will increase; therefore it was observed that increasing peppermint oil in the organo-hydrogels structure to 0.3 mL stimulated the release of the drugs. For instance, maximum paracetamol release amount from p(AG-g-PmO) and p(AG-m-PmO) organo-hydrogels was calculated to be 72.3% at pH 7.4 and 69.8% at pH 2.0, respectively. The maximum carboplatin release amount from p(AG-g-PmO) and p(AG-m-PmO) organo-hydrogels was calculated to be 99.7% at pH 7.4 and 100% at pH 7.4, respectively. It was concluded that the synthesized organo-hydrogels might easily be used as drug carrier and controlled drug release materials. Novel organo-hydrogels were synthesized using agar, glycerol and peppermint oil for drug carrier and controlled release. Biocompatibility and antioxidant properties of organo-hydrogels were investigated. Covid-19 and cancer sensitive drugs (Paracetamol and Carboplatin) were accomplished. The superior properties of the synthesized organo-hydrogels make them useful in biomedical, pharmaceutical and drug delivery systems applications.

Abstract
A magnetic nanocarrier was synthesized in which Fe3O4 nanoparticles were encapsulated into double layers of polysaccharide shells. The first shell, which was composed of cross-linked salep polysaccharide, contained multiple nitrogen atoms in its structure and provided numerous sites for multiple functionalization. A fluorescence dye and doxorubicin, as widely used chemotherapy agent, were easily attached to the first shell and then a second shell of PEGylated carboxymethyl cellulose enveloped the drug loaded carrier to enhance its biocompatibility and regulates the drug release behavior. The results of drug loading and release behavior showed that the resulting nanocarrier can carry large amounts of drug molecules and a remarkable pH-sensitive release was observed in vitro. The hemolysis and coagulation assays proved the biocompatibility of nanocarrier toward red blood cells and the MTT experiments confirmed that the drug loaded nanocarrier is highly toxic for MCF-7 cancer cells while the unloaded nanocarrier was almost nontoxic. Further flow cytometry experiments and confocal microscopy demonstrated that the double layered magnetic nanocarrier can penetrate into the cells and efficiently release the drug molecules into the cell nucleus. Moreover, the results of MRI experiments performed on the nanocarrier showed that it can be serve as a negative MRI contrast agent.

Abstract
To provide a novel approach for the clinical treatment of cartilage tissue defects, we prepared a new type of magnetic nanocomposite hydrogel with an optimal raw material ratio using Fe3O4, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and type-II collagen (COLII). Briefly, five groups of PVA and collagen hydrogel matrices with different mass ratios were prepared by a combination of repeated thawing cycles and foam-frozen ice crystal separation methods. Microscopic characterization was conducted using electron microscopy, and the biomechanical properties of each group of hydrogels were then tested. The highest performing component hydrogel matrix was selected after which Fe3O4 with different mass ratios was introduced to construct a new Fe3O4/PVA/COLII hydrogel. The prepared composite hydrogels were also microscopically characterized using electron microscopy along with scanning, measurements for porosity and moisture content, and biomechanical, infrared spectrum and degradation performance testing. CCK-8 detection and staining to determine the amount of living and dead cells were also performed. Collectively, these results showed that PVA/COLII,95:5 was the optimal hydrogel matrix. Using this hydrogel matrix, five groups of composite hydrogels with different Fe3O4 mass ratios were then prepared. There was no significant difference in the microscopic characteristics between these different hydrogels. Fe3O4/PVA/COLII,5:95:5 had better physical properties as well as swelling performance and cell compatibility. The PVA/COLII,95:5 hydrogel matrix was determined to be the best, while the new magnetic nanocomposite hydrogel Fe3O4/PVA/COLII,5:95:5 had good, comprehensive properties.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a promising strategy for the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues or organs. Biomaterials are one of the most important components in tissue engineering. Recently, magnetic hydrogels, which are fabricated using iron oxide-based particles and different types of hydrogel matrices, are becoming more and more attractive in biomedical applications by taking advantage of their biocompatibility, controlled architectures, and smart response to magnetic field remotely. In this literature review, the aim is to summarize the current development of magnetically sensitive smart hydrogels in tissue engineering, which is of great importance but has not yet been comprehensively viewed.

Abstract
This review is an extensive evaluation and essential analysis of the design and formation of hydrogels (HGs) for drug delivery. We review the fundamental principles of HGs (their chemical structures, physicochemical properties, synthesis routes, different types, etc.) that influence their biological properties and medical and pharmaceutical applications. Strategies for fabricating HGs with different diameters (macro, micro, and nano) are also presented. The size of biocompatible HG materials determines their potential uses in medicine as drug carriers. Additionally, novel drug delivery methods for enhancing treatment are discussed. A critical review is performed based on the latest literature reports.

Abstract
Magnetic hydrogels have promising applications in flexible electronics, biomedical devices, and soft robotics. However, most existing magnetic hydrogels are fragile and suffer insufficient magnetic response. In this paper, we present a new approach to fabricate a strong, tough, and adhesive magnetic hydrogel with nontoxic polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogel as the matrix and the functional additive [3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate coated Fe3O4] as the inclusions. This magnetic hydrogel not only offers a relatively high modulus and toughness compared to the pure hydrogel but also responds to the magnetic field rapidly because of high magnetic particle content (up to 60%, with respect to the total weight of the polymers and water). The hydrogel can be bonded to hydroxyl-rich hard and soft surfaces. Magnetic hydrogel with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating exhibits excellent underwater performance. The bonding between magnetic hydrogel and PDMS is very stable even under cyclic loading. An artificial muscle and its magnetomechanical coupling performance are demonstrated using this hydrogel. The adhesive tough magnetic hydrogel will open up extensive applications in many fields, such as controlled drug delivery systems, coating of soft devices, and microfluidics. The strategy is applicable to other functional soft materials.

Abstract
Drug delivery nanosystems have been thriving in recent years as a promising application in therapeutics, seeking to solve the lack of specificity of conventional chemotherapy targeting and add further features such as enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, biosensing and hyperthermia. The combination of magnetic nanoparticles and hydrogels introduces a new generation of nanosystems, the magnetogels, which combine the advantages of both nanomaterials, apart from showing interesting properties unobtainable when both systems are separated. The presence of magnetic nanoparticles allows the control and targeting of the nanosystem to a specific location by an externally applied magnetic field gradient. Moreover, the application of an alternating magnetic field (AMF) not only allows therapy through hyperthermia, but also enhances drug delivery and chemotherapeutic desired effects, which combined with the hydrogel specificity, confer a high therapeutic efficiency. Therefore, the present review summarizes the magnetogels properties and critically discusses their current and recent biomedical applications, apart from an outlook on future goals and perspectives.
