[PMID: 39105753 PMCID: PMC11318742 DOI: 10.1080/17435889.2024.2350356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024] Open
Abstract
The nanostructured drug-delivery systems for colon-targeted drug delivery are a promising field of research for localized diseases particularly influencing the colonic region, in other words, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and colorectal cancer. There are various drug-delivery approaches designed for effective colonic disease treatment, including stimulus-based formulations (enzyme-triggered systems, pH-sensitive systems) and magnetically driven drug-delivery systems. In addition, targeted drug delivery by means of overexpressed receptors also offers site specificity and reduces drug resistance. It also covers GI tract-triggered emulsifying systems, nontoxic plant-derived nanoformulations as advanced drug-delivery techniques as well as nanotechnology-based clinical trials toward colonic diseases. This review gives insight into advancements in colon-targeted drug delivery to meet site specificity or targeted drug-delivery requirements.

Li T, Zhu J, Yu Q, Zhu Y, Wu C, Zheng X, Chen N, Pei P, Yang K, Wang K, Hu L. Dietary Flavonoid Quercetin Supplement Promotes Antiviral Innate Responses Against Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Infection by Reshaping the Bacteriome and Host Metabolome in Mice. Mol Nutr Food Res 2024; 68:e2300898. [PMID: 38752791 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.202300898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
SCOPE Active ingredients in functional foods exhibit broad-spectrum antiviral activity. The objective of this study is to investigate the protective effect of quercetin derived from bee propolis, a natural product with antiviral activity and modulating effects on the gut microbiota, against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection. METHODS AND RESULTS Through a cellular-based study, this study demonstrates that quercetin can modulate the activity of interferon-regulating factor 3 (IRF3). In vivo, it shows that quercetin protects mice from VSV infection by enhancing interferon production and inhibiting the production of proinflammatory cytokines. The study conducts 16S rRNA-based gut microbiota and nontargets metabolomics analyses to elucidate the mechanisms underlying quercetin-mediated bidirectional communication between the gut microbiome and host metabolome during viral infection. Quercetin not only ameliorates VSV-induced dysbiosis of the intestinal flora but also alters serum metabolites related to lipid metabolism. Cross-correlations between the gut bacteriome and the serum metabolome indicate that quercetin can modulate phosphatidylcholine (16:0/0:0) and 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3-methyluracil to prevent VSV infection. CONCLUSION This study systematically elucidates the anti-VSV mechanism of quercetin through gut bacteriome and host metabolome assays, offering new insights into VSV treatment and revealing the mechanisms behind a novel disease management strategy using dietary flavonoid supplements.

Biosynthesis of Quercetin-Loaded Melanin Nanoparticles for Improved Antioxidant Activity, Photothermal Antimicrobial, and NIR/pH Dual-Responsive Drug Release. Foods 2023; 12:4232. [PMID: 38231693 DOI: 10.3390/foods12234232] [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: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Quercetin (QCT) is a promising dose-dependent nutraceutical that usually suffers from poor water solubility and low bioavailability issues. In this work, a novel QCT-loaded nanoscale delivery system was constructed based on the oxidative self-polymerization of melanin (Q@MNPs). The FT-IR, XRD, and Zeta potential analyses confirmed that QCT was successfully absorbed on the melanin nanoparticles (MNPs) via Π-Π and hydrogen bonding interactions. The encapsulation efficiency and particle size of Q@MNPs were 43.78% and 26.68 nm, respectively. Q@MNPs improved the thermal stability of QCT and the antioxidant properties in comparison to MNPs. Meanwhile, Q@MNPs presented fantastic photothermal conversion capacity and stability triggered by the NIR laser, which significantly enhanced the antibacterial capability with a sterilization rate of more than 98% against E. coli and S. aureus. More importantly, Q@MNPs exhibited NIR/pH dual-responsive drug release behavior and good biocompatibility (at concentrations of < 100 μg/mL). Thus, Q@MNPs show promising prospects for flavonoid delivery.
