Foods 2024; 13:1711. [PMID: 38890937 PMCID: PMC11171559 DOI: 10.3390/foods13111711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Natural polyphenols have drawbacks such as instability and low bioavailability, which can be overcome by encapsulated slow-release systems. Natural polymer hydrogels are ideal materials for slow-release systems because of their high biocompatibility. In this study, Longzhua mushroom polysaccharide hydrogel (LMPH) was used to encapsulate rambutan peel polyphenols (RPP) and delay their release time to improve their stability and bioavailability. The mechanical properties, rheology, stability, swelling properties, water-holding capacity, RPP loading, and slow-release behavior of LMPH were investigated. The results showed that LMPH has adequate mechanical and rheological properties, high thermal stability, excellent swelling and water-holding capacity, and good self-healing behavior. Increasing the polysaccharide content not only improved the hardness (0.17-1.13 N) and water-holding capacity of LMPH (90.84-99.32%) but also enhanced the encapsulation efficiency of RPP (93.13-99.94%). The dense network structure slowed down the release of RPP. In particular, LMPH5 released only 61.58% at 48 h. Thus, a stable encapsulated slow-release system was fabricated using a simple method based on the properties of LMPH. The developed material has great potential for the sustained release and delivery of biologically active substances.

Multifunctional hydrogels for wound dressings using xanthan gum and polyacrylamide. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 217:944-955. [PMID: 35908675 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.07.181] [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: 03/12/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Developing advanced dressings that integrate multiple functions is one of the major challenges in current clinical wound treatment. In this study, Xanthan gum (XG) and polyacrylamide (PAAm) materials were used to prepare hydrogel dressings by one-pot method. With the combination of the PAAm network and the XG network, the PAAm-XG hydrogels showed the tensile strength of 0.36 MPa and the stretchability as large as 2078 %. The prepared PAAm-XG hydrogels had excellent water uptake efficiency with the swelling ratio of 1200 %. Besides, the developed dressings possessed outstanding biocompatibility, universal adhesion and self-healing ability. More importantly, the PAAm-XG hydrogels can be successfully loaded with Cefixime and human recombinant epidermal growth factor, and these loaded hydrogels released these bioactive molecules in sustained ways. As a result, both E. coli and S. aureus bacteria were inactivated after contacting with the Cefixime-loaded hydrogels for 24 h. Furthermore, in vivo data demonstrated that the PAAm-XG hydrogel dressings significantly accelerated the wound healing in a mouse model. All of these indicate that the multifunctional PAAm-XG hydrogels are promising candidates for wound treatment.

Abstract
Maintaining a moist and sterile environment is conducive to accelerating wound healing. To develop a natural wound dressing with good water retention capacity and antibacterial activity, we prepared a novel natural multifunctional hydrogel for infected wound healing, which combines the advantages of Aloe polysaccharide (AP) and honey. AP was extracted from Aloe barbadensis, and its structure was characterized by fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectoscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. AP is an acetylated mannan composed of (1 → 4)β-Manp, which is acetylated at C-2, C-3 and C-6 positions. AP/Honey@PVA hydrogel was prepared by cross-linking AP, honey, PVA with borax, which has good mechanical strength and excellent biocompatibility for blood cells, NIH-3T3 cells and L929 cells. The hydrogels showed significant inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans, as well as accelerated the healing of infected full-thickness wound. This study reveals the structure of AP and proves that AP and honey composite hydrogel has potential application prospect in the therapy of infected wounds.

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship of Enhancers of Licochalcone A and Glabridin Release and Permeation Enhancement from Carbomer Hydrogel. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14020262. [PMID: 35213995 PMCID: PMC8878673 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14020262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2021] [Revised: 01/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to systematically compare licochalcone A (LicA) and glabridin (Gla) (whitening agents) release and permeation from Carbomer 940 (CP) hydrogels with different enhancers, and evaluate the relationship between the quantitative enhancement efficacy and structures of the enhancers. An in vitro release study and an in vitro permeation experiment in solution and hydrogels using porcine skin were performed. We found that the Gla–CP hydrogel showed a higher drug release and skin retention amount than LicA–CP due to the higher solubility in medium and better miscibility with the skin of Gla than that of LicA. Enhancers with a higher molecular weight (MW) and lower polarizability showed a higher release enhancement effect (ERrelease) for both LicA and Gla. The Van der Waals forces in the drug–enhancers–CP system were negatively correlated with the drug release percent. Moreover, enhancers with a higher log P and polarizability displayed a higher retention enhancement effect in solution (ERsolution retention) for LicA and Gla. Enhancers decreased the whole intermolecular forces indrug–enhancers-skin system, which had a linear inhibitory effect on the drug retention. Moreover, C=O of ceramide acted asthe enhancement site for drug permeation. Consequently, Transcutol® P (TP) and propylene glycol (PG), seven enhancers showed a higher retention enhancement effect in hydrogel (ERhydrogel retention) for LicA and Gla. Taken together, the conclusions provide a strategy for reasonable utilization of enhancers and formulation optimization in topical hydrogel whitening.

Abstract
Xanthan is an important polysaccharide with many beneficial properties. Sulfated xanthan derivatives have anticoagulant and antithrombotic activity. This work proposes a new method for the synthesis of xanthan sulfates using sulfamic acid. Various N-substituted ureas have been investigated as process activators. It was found that urea has the greatest activating ability. BBD of xanthan sulfation process with sulfamic acid in 1,4-dioxane has been carried out. It was shown that the optimal conditions for the sulfation of xanthan (13.1 wt% sulfur content) are: the amount of sulfating complex per 1 g of xanthan is 3.5 mmol, temperature 90 °C, duration 2.3 h. Sulfated xanthan with the maximum sulfur content was analyzed by physicochemical methods. Thus, in the FTIR spectrum of xanthan sulfate, in comparison with the initial xanthanum, absorption bands appear at 1247 cm-1, which corresponds to the vibrations of the sulfate group. It was shown by GPC chromatography that the starting xanthan gum has a bimodal molecular weight distribution of particles, including a high molecular weight fraction with Mw > 1000 kDa and an LMW fraction with Mw < 600 kDa. It was found that the Mw of sulfated xanthan gum has a lower value (~612 kDa) in comparison with the original xanthan gum, and a narrower molecular weight distribution and is characterized by lower PD values. It was shown by thermal analysis that the main decomposition of xanthan sulfate, in contrast to the initial xanthan, occurs in two stages. The DTG curve has two pronounced peaks, with maxima at 226 and 286 °C.

Abstract
Xanthan gum (XG), a bacterial polysaccharide has numerous valuable characteristics in the food, biomedical, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture sector. However, XG has also its particular limitations such as its vulnerability to microbial contamination, inadequate mechanical and thermal stability, unusable viscosity, and poor water solubility. Therefore, XG's structure and conformation need to be modified enzymatically, chemically, or physically to improve its optimistic features and decrease the formation of crystals, increase antioxidant ability, and radical scavenging activity. We have found out different means to modify XG and elaborate the importance and significance of the modified structure of XG. In this review, different enzymes are reviewed for XG degradation, which modifies their structure from different points (main chain or side chain). This article also reviews various physical methods (ultrasound, shear, pressure, sonication, annealing, and heat treatments) based on prevailing publications to alter XG conformation and produce low molecular weight (LMW) and less viscous end-product. Moreover, some chemical means are also discussed that result in modified XG through crosslinking, grafting, acetylation, pyruvation, as well as by applying different chemical agents. Overall, the current progress on XG degradation is very auspicious to develop a new molecule with considerable uses, in various industries with future assessments.

Abstract
Though polyurethane (PU) hydrogel had great potential in topical drug delivery system, drug skin delivery behavior from hydrogel and the underlying molecular mechanism were still unclear. In this study, PU and Carbomer (CP as control) hydrogels were prepared with lidocaine (LID) and ofloxacin (OFX) as model drugs. In vitro skin permeation and tissue distribution study were conducted to evaluate the drug delivery behaviors. The underlying molecular mechanisms were characterized by drug release with octanol as release medium, rheological study, ATR-FTIR, NMR, and molecular simulation. The results showed that the skin permeation amount of LID-PU (45.50 ± 7.12 μg) was lower than LID-CP (45.50 ± 7.12 μg). And the LID diffusion coefficient of PU (26.21 μg/h0.5) was also lower than CP (31.30 μg/h0.5), which attributed to H-bonding between LID (-CONH) and PU (-NHCOO). However, the OFX-PU showed a higher skin permeation amount (10.06 ± 1.29 μg) than OFX-CP (5.28 ± 1.39 μg). And the OFX-PU also showed a higher diffusion coefficient (30.0 μg/h0.5) than OFX-CP (21.37 μg/h0.5), which was caused by increased mobility of hydrogel when interaction action site was C-O-C in PU. In conclusion, drug skin delivery behavior from PU hydrogel was controlled by molecular mobility and intermolecular interaction, which clarified the influence of the functional group of PU hydrogel on drug skin delivery behavior and broadened our understanding of PU hydrogel application in topical drug delivery system.

Abstract
Owing to their tunable properties, controllable degradation, and ability to protect labile drugs, hydrogels are increasingly investigated as local drug delivery systems. However, a lack of standardized methodologies used to characterize and evaluate drug release poses significant difficulties when comparing findings from different investigations, preventing an accurate assessment of systems. Here, we review the commonly used analytical techniques for drug detection and quantification from hydrogel delivery systems. The experimental conditions of drug release in saline solutions and their impact are discussed, along with the main mathematical and statistical approaches to characterize drug release profiles. We also review methods to determine drug diffusion coefficients and in vitro and in vivo models used to assess drug release and efficacy with the goal to provide guidelines and harmonized practices when investigating novel hydrogel drug delivery systems.

Abstract
In this study, a self-condensing vinyl copolymerization/redox (SCVP/Redox) system was constructed to prepare hyperbranched poly(methyl-6-O-methacryloyl-α-D-glucoside) by using Cu(III) as the initiator in aqueous solution, in which the –OH group in C-2, C-3 and C-4 position on pyranose rings could be initiated by Cu(III). The branched and linear units were clearly distinguished by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) to estimate the degree of branching (DB). When the ratio of Cu(III) to monomer fixed at 0.5:1, the DB value reached 0.32, which was higher than the product initiated by Ce(IV). Moreover, the inhibition activity of the products on amyloid fibrillation was investigated by using the hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) as a model based on the difference of the initiation sites. The results showed that the –OH groups in C-4 position might play an important role in this process.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 269:110854. [PMID: 32561025 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2020] [Revised: 05/25/2020] [Accepted: 05/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Coal dust diffusion during coal transportation and storage causes serious environmental pollution. The existing dust suppressant in previous studies was unable to achieve the expected effects owing to severe wind damage and rain erosion. Therefore, the current study synthesized and prepared an efficient and applicable dust suppressant for coal transportation and storage. Infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope experiments were conducted during the synthesis to analyze the microstructure changes in the synthetic products. Moreover, viscosity was used as the evaluation index in the single-factor experiments to obtain the optimal synthesis conditions. Performance measurement results showed that the prepared dust suppressant had a strong protective effect on coal powder and could effectively resist the impact of wind damage and rain erosion. Compared with other dust suppressants, the proposed dust suppressant prepared showed more evident positive effects and longer lasting action time in the quantitative test. Moreover, the dried product could synergistically combust with coal powder, thereby possibly mitigating the tedious post-treatment process and increasing the utilization rate of resources.

Abstract
Poor proliferation and migration of fibroblast, keratinocyte and endothelial cells delays the wound healing in diabetic patients and results into chronicity of wounds. Slow or decreased formation of blood vessels is another issue that increases the chronicity of non-healing wounds. These chronic wounds turn into an ulcer that may lead to limb amputation. Recently, nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as a potential agent for accelerating cell migration and proliferation to enhance wound healing. It increases the expression of necessary angiogenic growth factors which stimulates the proliferation and migration of major cell types involved in wound repair. Here we report the synthesis of chitosan (CS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and a NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP) to enhance the wound healing activities in chronic wounds. A three-fold increase in the proliferation of 3T3 cells was observed with NO-releasing CS-PVA hydrogels. In vitro cell migration assay demonstrated a four-fold faster migration of cells to the scratched area compared to the control group. The results depict that the use of CS-PVA hydrogel impregnated with the NO donor (SNAP) can be a promising material for promoting cell migration and subsequent accelerated healing of the chronic wounds in burns and diabetic patients.

Abstract
Natural polysaccharides are well known for their biocompatibility, non-toxicity and biodegradability. These properties are also inherent to xanthan gum (XG), a microbial polysaccharide. This biomaterial has been extensively investigated as matrices for tablets, nanoparticles, microparticles, hydrogels, buccal/transdermal patches, tissue engineering scaffolds with different degrees of success. However, the native XG has its own limitations with regards to its susceptibility to microbial contamination, unusable viscosity, poor thermal and mechanical stability, and inadequate water solubility. Chemical modification can circumvent these limitations and tailor the properties of virgin XG to fulfill the unmet needs of drug delivery, tissue engineering, oil drilling and other applications. This review illustrates the process of chemical modification and/crosslinking of XG via etherification, esterification, acetalation, amidation, and oxidation. This review further describes the tailor-made properties of novel XG derivatives and their potential application in diverse fields. The physicomechanical modification and its impact on the properties of XG are also discussed. Overall, the recent developments on XG derivatives are very promising to progress further with polysaccharide research. Due to presence of hydroxy and carboxy functional groups, xanthan gum is amenable to various chemical modification for producing derivatives such as carboxymethyl xanthan and carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl xanthan with desirable properties for end use.![]()

Abstract
PURPOSE Non-healing or slow healing chronic wounds are among serious complications of diabetes that eventually result in amputation of limbs and increased morbidities and mortalities. Chronic diabetic wounds show reduced blood vessel formation (lack of angiogenesis), inadequate cell proliferation and poor cell migration near wounds. In this paper, we report the development of a hydrogel-based novel wound dressing material loaded with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to promote cell proliferation, cell migration and angiogenesis for wound healing applications. METHODS Gelatin-methacryloyl (GelMA) based hydrogels loaded with different concentrations of rGO were fabricated by UV crosslinking. Morphological and physical characterizations (porosity, degradation, and swelling) of rGO incorporated GelMA hydrogel was performed. In vitro cell proliferation, cell viability and cell migration potential of the hydrogels were analyzed by MTT assay, live/dead staining, and wound healing scratch assay respectively. Finally, in vivo chicken embryo angiogenesis (CEO) testing was performed to evaluate the angiogenic potential of the prepared hydrogel. RESULTS The experimental results showed that the developed hydrogel possessed enough porosity and exudate-absorbing capacity. The biocompatibility of prepared hydrogel on three different cell lines (3T3 fibroblasts, EA.hy926 endothelial cells, and HaCaT keratinocytes) was confirmed by in vitro cell culture studies (live/dead assay). The GelMA hydrogel containing 0.002% w/w rGO considerably increased the proliferation and migration of cells as evident from MTT assay and wound healing scratch assay. Furthermore, rGO impregnated GelMA hydrogel significantly enhanced the angiogenesis in the chick embryo model. CONCLUSION The positive effect of 0.002% w/w rGO impregnated GelMA hydrogels on angiogenesis, cell migration and cell proliferation suggests that these formulations could be used as a functional wound healing material for the healing of chronic wounds.

Abstract
Insufficient cell proliferation, cell migration, and angiogenesis are among the major causes for nonhealing of chronic diabetic wounds. Incorporation of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) in wound dressings can be a promising approach to promote angiogenesis and healing of diabetic wounds. In this paper, we report the development of a novel nCeO2 containing electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) membrane for diabetic wound healing applications. In vitro cell adhesion studies, chicken embryo angiogenesis assay, and in vivo diabetic wound healing studies were performed to assess the cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and wound healing potential of the developed membranes. The experimental results showed that nCeO2 containing PHBV membranes can promote cell proliferation and cell adhesion when used as wound dressings. For less than 1% w/w of nCeO2 content, human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) were adhered parallel to the individual fibers of PHBV. For higher than 1% w/w of nCeO2 content, cells started to flatten and spread over the fibers. In ovo angiogenic assay showed the ability of nCeO2 incorporated PHBV membranes to enhance blood vessel formation. In vivo wound healing study in diabetic rats confirmed the wound healing potential of nCeO2 incorporated PHBV membranes. The study suggests that nCeO2 incorporated PHBV membranes have strong potential to be used as wound dressings to enhance cell proliferation and vascularization and promote the healing of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are abundant biomolecules, with a strong tendency to form supramolecular networks. A host of carbohydrate-based nanomaterials have been exploited for biomedical applications. These structures are based on simple mono- or disaccharides, as well as on complex, polymeric systems. Chemical modifications serve to tune the shapes and properties of these materials. In particular, carbohydrate-based nanoparticles and nanogels were used for drug delivery, imaging, and tissue engineering applications. Due to the reversible nature of the assembly, often based on a combination of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, carbohydrate-based materials are valuable substrates for the creations of responsive systems. Herein, we review the current research on carbohydrate-based nanomaterials, with a particular focus on carbohydrate assembly. We will discuss how these systems are formed and how their properties are tuned. Particular emphasis will be placed on the use of carbohydrates for biomedical applications. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.
