Abstract
Owing to the rapid and significant progress in advanced materials and life sciences, nanotechnology is increasingly gaining in popularity. Among numerous bio-mimicking carriers, inverse lyotropic liquid crystals are known for their unique properties. These carriers make accommodation of molecules with varied characteristics achievable due to their complicated topologies. Besides, versatile symmetries of inverse LCNPs (lyotropic crystalline nanoparticles) and their aggregating bulk phases allow them to be applied in a wide range of fields including drug delivery, food, cosmetics, material sciences etc. In this review, in-depth summary, discussion and outlook for inverse lyotropic liquid crystals are provided.

Int J Pharm 2021; 602:120612. [PMID: 33905866 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2021.120612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Revised: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) is a photosensitizer topically used for photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of skin pre-cancers and cancers. In this study, our goal is to expand the application of MAL to dual intraoperative PDD and PDT of peritoneal carcinomatosis. A new liposomal MAL formulation (lipMAL) designed for systemic or intraperitoneal administration was developed. LipMALs prepared by ammonium sulfate gradient technique achieved MAL payload up to 18% (w/w) with drug encapsulation efficiency in the range of 15.1-31.5%. All lipMALs demonstrated controlled MAL release behavior, and achieved strong fluorescence in cancer cells (SKOV3) but minimal fluorescence in non-cancer peritoneal cells (B14FAF28-G3). LipMALs led to significantly higher fluorescence levels than free MAL groups (P < 0.05), up to 6.8-fold of the free MAL fluorescence levels in SKOV3 cells. The PDD performance of lipMALs was also compared with free MAL in SKOV3/ B14FAF28-G3 co-cultures simulating ovarian cancer micrometastases on peritoneal surface. The lipMAL-treated cancer colonies glew more brightly than the free MAL treated colonies and were clearly distinguishable from the dim peritoneum background with unaided eyes. LipMAL also achieved significantly stronger anticancer PDT effects than free MAL both in terms of cell viability and colony-formation (P < 0.05) while demonstrating minimal dark toxicity. To conclude, a new promising aid for the surgeons to achieve more complete resection of tumors and PC micrometastases and clean up any residual cancer cells undetected was developed.

Abstract
Metformin hydrochloride (Met) is commonly used for antidiabetic therapy though its antimelanoma action is also reported. Conventional oral administration method of Met is not appropriate for therapy of melanoma because of large dose, adverse reactions, and low efficiency. Here, a transdermal Met-loaded cubic phase was developed for local treatment of melanoma. In silico formulation optimization of the cubic phases was done, and the corresponding formulations were prepared and characterized. The optimized formulations were screened based on the stable microstructure and proper fluidity. Highly efficient mouse skin permeability of Met was found with the cubic phases compared to Met solutions. High antimelanoma effect of transdermal Met-loaded cubic phases also was shown by the significant decrease of tumor volume and the improvement of melanoma cell apoptosis on the B16 melanoma mice. Met-loaded cubic phases are a promising topically applied medication for local therapies of melanoma.

Abstract
Nonlamellar lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) lipid nanomaterials have emerged as a promising class of advanced materials for the next generation of nanomedicine, comprising mainly of amphiphilic lipids and functional additives self-assembling into two- and three-dimensional, inverse hexagonal, and cubic nanostructures. In particular, the lyotropic liquid crystalline lipid nanoparticles (LCNPs) have received great interest as nanocarriers for a variety of hydrophobic and hydrophilic small molecule drugs, peptides, proteins, siRNAs, DNAs, and imaging agents. Within this space, there has been a tremendous amount of effort over the last two decades elucidating the self-assembly behavior and structure-function relationship of natural and synthetic lipid-based drug delivery vehicles in vitro, yet successful clinical translation remains sparse due to the lack of understanding of these materials in biological bodies. This review provides an overview of (1) the benefits and advantages of using LCNPs as drug delivery nanocarriers, (2) design principles for making LCNPs with desirable functionalities for drug delivery applications, (3) current understanding of the LLC material-biology interface illustrated by more than 50 in vivo, preclinical studies, and (4) current patenting and translation activities in a pharmaceutical context. Together with our perspectives and expert opinions, we anticipate that this review will guide future studies in developing LCNP-based drug delivery nanocarriers with the objective of translating them into a key player among nanoparticle platforms comprising the next generation of nanomedicine for disease therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
Self-assembly of lipid-based liquid crystalline (LLC) nanoparticles is a formulation art arising from the hydrophilic-lipophilic qualities and the geometric packing of amphiphilic lipid molecules in an aqueous environment. The diversity of commercialized amphiphilic lipids and an increased understanding of the physicochemical factors dictating their membrane curvature has enabled versatile architectural design and engineering of LLC nanoparticles. While these exotic nanostructured materials are hypothesized to form the next generation of smart therapeutics for a broad field of biomedical applications, biological knowledge particularly on the systemic biocompatibility or cytotoxicity of LLC materials remains unclear. Here, an overview on the interactions between LLCs of different internal nanostructures and biological components (including soluble plasma constituents, blood cells, and isolated tissue cell lines) is provided. Factors affecting cell-nanoparticle tolerability such as the type of lipids, type of steric stabilizers, nanoparticle surface charges, and internal nanostructures (or lipid phase behaviors) are elucidated. The mechanisms of cellular uptake and lipid transfer between neighboring membrane domains are also reviewed. A critical analysis of these studies sheds light on future strategies to transform LLC materials into a viable therapeutic entity ideal for internal applications.

Abstract
Bile salts (BSs) are important for the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine. In this work, we scrutinized, with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), the crucial functions of bile salts beyond their capacity for the interfacial stabilization of submicrometer-sized lipid particles. By studying a wide compositional range of BS-lipid dispersions using two widely applied lipids for drug-delivery systems (one a monoglyceride being stabilizer-sensitive and the other an aliphatic alcohol being relatively stabilizer-insensitive), we identified the necessary BS to lipid ratios to guarantee full emulsification. A novel ad hoc developed global small-angle-X-ray scattering analysis method revealed that the addition of BS hardly changes the bilayer thicknesses in bicontinuous phases, while significant membrane thinning is observed in the coexisting fluid lamellar phase. Furthermore, we show that a BS strongly decreases the average critical packing parameter. At increasing BS concentration, the order of phases formed is (i) the bicontinuous diamond cubic ( Pn3 m), (ii) the bicontinuous primitive cubic ( Im3 m), and (iii) the fluid lamellar phase ( Lα). These distinctive findings on BS-driven "emulsification" and "membrane curvature reduction" provide new molecular-scale insights for the understanding of the interfacial action of bile salts on lipid assemblies.

Abstract
While stimuli-responsive polymers have received a huge amount of attention in the literature, responsive lipid-based mesophase systems offer unique opportunities in biomedical applications such as drug delivery and biosensing. The different mesophase equilibrium structures enables dynamic switching between nanostructures to facilitate drug release or as a transducer for recognition events. In drug delivery, this behavior offers researchers the means to deliver a therapeutic payload at a specific rate and time i.e. 'on-demand'. This review summarizes the distinctive features of these multifaceted materials and aggregates the current state of the art research from our groups and others into the use of these materials as bulk gels and nanostructured dispersions for drug delivery, biosensing and diagnostics.

Abstract
The phase behavior of 1-glyceryl monoleyl ether (GME) in mixtures of water and the solvents 1,5-pentanediol (POL) or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was investigated by ocular inspection, polarization microscopy, and small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD). Phase diagrams were constructed based on analyses of more than 200 samples prepared using the two different solvents at 20 °C. The inverse hexagonal phase formed by GME in excess of water was transformed into the cubic and sponge phase with the increasing amount of each solvent. Particularly POL allowed for the formation of an extended sponge phase area in the phase diagram, comprising up to 70% POL-water mixture. The phase behavior using NMP was found to be similar to the earlier investigated solvent propylene glycol. The extended sponge phase for the POL system was attributed to POLs strong surface/interfacial activity with the potential to stabilize the polar/apolar interface of the sponge phase. The cubic and sponge phases formed using POL were further studied by NMR in order to measure the partitioning of POL between the lipid and aqueous domains of the phases. The domain partition coefficient K (lipid domain/aqueous domain) for POL in cubic and sponge phases was found to be 0.78 ± 0.14 and constant for the two phases.
