[PMID: 34578094 PMCID: PMC8470023 DOI: 10.3390/polym13183193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Infection with pathogenic microorganisms is of great concern in many areas, especially in healthcare, but also in food packaging and storage, or in water purification systems. Antimicrobial polymer nanocomposites have gained great popularity in these areas. Therefore, this study focused on new approaches to develop thin antimicrobial films based on biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) with clay mineral natural vermiculite as a carrier for antimicrobial compounds, where the active organic antimicrobial component is antifungal ciclopirox olamine (CPX). For possible synergistic effects, a sample in combination with the inorganic antimicrobial active ingredient zinc oxide was also prepared. The structures of all the prepared samples were studied by X-ray diffraction, FTIR analysis and, predominantly, by SEM. The very different structure properties of the prepared nanofillers had a fundamental influence on the final structural arrangement of thin PCL nanocomposite films as well as on their mechanical, thermal, and surface properties. As sample PCL/ZnOVER_CPX possessed the best results for antimicrobial activity against examined microbial strains, the synergic effect of CPX and ZnO combination on antimicrobial activity was proved, but on the other hand, its mechanical resistance was the lowest.

Abstract
Ciclopirox olamine (CPO) is a topical wide-spectrum antimycotic agent that possesses antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. Loading CPO into a hybridized vesicular system is expected to enhance its buccal permeation and hence, therapeutic activity, whereas the frequent administration and side effects are reduced. Vesicular systems with high penetration ability were prepared based on cholesterol, Lipoid S45 or Phospholipon 90H, with span 60 while incorporating a penetration enhancer (Labrafac or labrasol) followed by full assessment of their size, entrapment efficiency, and drug release profiles. The optimum formulation, composed of Lipoid S45 and Labrafac, possessed the smallest vesicle size (346.1 nm), highest entrapment efficiency (94.4%), and sustained CPO release pattern, and was characterized for its morphology and thermal properties. This powerful mixture of the penetration enhancers (Lipoid S45 and Labrafac) in the designed hybridized vesicles was thoroughly investigated for their characteristics after being incorporated in bioadhesive gel. Moreover, enhanced antifungal activity was demonstrated either upon testing the designed formulation on agar plates or in vivo upon treating infected rabbits with the proposed formulation. Results suggest that the presented bioadhesive gel incorporating the CPO-loaded vesicles can be a promising delivery system that can offer a prolonged localized antifungal treatment with enhanced therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Self aggregation, sorption, and interaction of Congo red, with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), Ag(+) ions and silver nanoparticles have been determined spectrophotometrically. Congo red self-aggregation was identified from UV-visible spectra due to the shrinkage in an absorption band at 495 nm. The shape of the absorbance spectrum changed entirely with increasing [Congo red] but wavelength maxima remain unchanged. The molar absorptivity was found to be 9804 mol(-1) dm(3) cm(-1) at 495 nm. Absorption spectra of Congo red with Ag(+) ions show an isosbestic point. The complex formation constant and difference in absorption coefficients were found to be 8.5 × 10(4) mol(-1) dm(3) and 11,764 mol(-1) dm(3) cm(-1), respectively. Silver nano-particles could not be used for the catalytic degradation of Congo red because it results in the formation of a strong complex with them. Sodium dodecylsulfate did not show any significant interaction with this dye. Congo red was also used as a probe to determine the critical micellar concentration of CTAB.

Abstract
The human nail plate is a formidable barrier to drug permeation. Development of therapeutics for management of nail diseases thus remains a challenge. This article reviews the current knowledge and recent advances in the field of transungual drug delivery and provides guidance on development of topical/ungual therapeutics for management of nail diseases, with special emphasis on management of onychomycosis, the most common nail disease. Selection of drug candidates, drug delivery approaches, and evaluation of formulations are among the topics discussed. A comprehensive mathematical description for transungual permeation is also introduced.

Toward repurposing ciclopirox as an antibiotic against drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. PLoS One 2013; 8:e69646.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant infections caused by gram-negative bacteria are a major healthcare concern. Repurposing drugs circumvents the time and money limitations associated with developing new antimicrobial agents needed to combat these antibiotic-resistant infections. Here we identified the off-patent antifungal agent, ciclopirox, as a candidate to repurpose for antibiotic use. To test the efficacy of ciclopirox against antibiotic-resistant pathogens, we used a curated collection of Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates that are representative of known antibiotic resistance phenotypes. We found that ciclopirox, at 5–15 µg/ml concentrations, inhibited bacterial growth regardless of the antibiotic resistance status. At these same concentrations, ciclopirox reduced growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates, but some of these pathogens required higher ciclopirox concentrations to completely block growth. To determine how ciclopirox inhibits bacterial growth, we performed an overexpression screen in E. coli. This screen revealed that galE, which encodes UDP-glucose 4-epimerase, rescued bacterial growth at otherwise restrictive ciclopirox concentrations. We found that ciclopirox does not inhibit epimerization of UDP-galactose by purified E. coli GalE; however, ΔgalU, ΔgalE, ΔrfaI, or ΔrfaB mutant strains all have lower ciclopirox minimum inhibitory concentrations than the parent strain. The galU, galE, rfaI, and rfaB genes all encode enzymes that use UDP-galactose or UDP-glucose for galactose metabolism and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis. Indeed, we found that ciclopirox altered LPS composition of an E. coli clinical isolate. Taken together, our data demonstrate that ciclopirox affects galactose metabolism and LPS biosynthesis, two pathways important for bacterial growth and virulence. The lack of any reported fungal resistance to ciclopirox in over twenty years of use in the clinic, its excellent safety profiles, novel target(s), and efficacy, make ciclopirox a promising potential antimicrobial agent to use against multidrug-resistant problematic gram-negative pathogens.

Abstract
The interaction of brilliant red X-3B (BRX) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in three pH media has been characterized by the spectral correction technique. The binding number maximum of BRX was determined to be 102 at pH 2.03, 82 at pH 3.25 and 38 at pH 4.35 and the binding mechanism was analyzed in detail. The effects of ionic strength from 0 to 1 mol L(-1) and temperature from 20 to 70 degrees C on the binding were investigated. The results showed that the interaction of BRX with BSA responded to the Langmuir adsorption isothermal model and the binding constant was determined. From the correlation between the binding number and the number of basic amino acid residues, the ion-pair attraction induced the union of non-covalent bonds including H-bond, van der Waals force and hydrophobic bond and the binding model was illustrated. The binding of BRX to BSA has resulted in change of the BSA conformation confirmed by means of circular dichroism. Using this interaction at pH 2.03, a sensitive method named the absorbance ratio difference spectrometry was established and applied to the protein assay and the limit of detection of protein was only 6 microg L(-1). Two samples were determined and the results were in agreement with those obtained by the classical coomassie brilliant blue colorimetry.
