Thermo-responsive composite nanoparticles based on hydroxybutyl chitosan oligosaccharide: Fabrication, stimulus release and cancer therapy. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 276:133842. [PMID: 39004251 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133842] [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: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Designing thermo-responsive nanocarriers based on biopolymers is fascinating and challenging for cancer therapy. In this study, thermo-responsive composite nanoparticles (CNPs) were prepared using hydroxybutyl chitosan oligosaccharide (HBCOS) and sodium caseinate (SC) via electrostatic interactions and covalent crosslinking. The temperature-responsive behaviors of CNPs were induced by the breakage of hydrogen bonds and the shrinkage of chains in nanoparticles. The CNPs exhibited concentration-independent thermo-responsive behavior, non-adsorption aggregation, and non-hemolysis, suggesting excellent stability and thermo-sensitivity. The initial release rate and final amount of DOX released from CNPs at 42 °C were higher than that at 37 °C, showing a thermo-responsive release, which was also more prominent at lower pH. The release of DOX from CNPs followed first order kinetics based on Fickian diffusion. In vitro cytotoxicity assays confirmed the thermo-responsive antitumor activity of DOX-loaded CNPs as the HT-29 cell viability incubated with DOX-loaded CNPs at 42 °C was significantly lower than that at 37 °C. Cellular uptake experiments proved that DOX-loaded CNPs accumulated in the cytoplasm after being endocytosed and promoted DOX release by increasing environment temperature. This study generated stable thermo-sensitive CNPs based on biopolymers, which can be used as potential nanocarriers for the controlled release of anticancer drugs for cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this study, the pH-responsive API-CMCS-SA (ACS) polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) based on 1-(3-amino-propyl) imidazole (API), stearic acid (SA), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) were fabricated for the effective transport of curcumin (CUR) in liver cancer. CUR-ACS-NPs with various degrees of substitution (DS) were employed to prepare through ultrasonic dispersion method. The effect of different DS on NPs formation was discussed. The obtained CUR-ACS-NPs (DSSA=12.4%) had high encapsulation rate (more than 85%) and uniform particle size (186.2 ± 1.42 nm). The CUR-ACS-NPs showed better stability than the other groups. Drug release from the CUR-ACS-NPs was pH-dependent, and more than 90% or 65% of CUR was released in 48 h in weakly acid medium (pH 5.0 or 6.0, respectively). Additionally, the CUR-ACS-NPs increased the intracellular accumulation of CUR and demonstrated high anticancer effect on HepG2 cells compared with the other groups. CUR-ACS-NPs prolonged the retention time of the drug, and the area under the curve (AUC) increased significantly in vivo. The in vivo antitumor study further revealed that the CUR-ACS-NPs exhibited the capability of inhibiting tumor growth and lower systemic toxicity. Meanwhile, CUR, CUR-CS-NPs, and CUR-ACS-NPs could be detected in the evaluated organs, including tumor, liver, spleen, lung, heart, and kidney in distribution studies. Among them, CUR-ACS-NPs reached the maximum concentration at the tumor site, indicating the tumor-targeting properties. In short, the results suggested that CUR-ACS-NPs could act a prospective drug transport system for effective delivery of CUR in cancer treatment.

N-lauric-O-carboxymethyl chitosan: Synthesis, characterization and application as a pH-responsive carrier for curcumin particles. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128421. [PMID: 38013085 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
A pH-responsive amphiphilic chitosan derivative, N-lauric-O-carboxymethyl chitosan (LA-CMCh), is synthesized. Its molecular structures are characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, and XRD methods. The influencing factors are investigated, including the amount of lauric acid (LA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh), N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), and their molar ratio, reaction time, and reaction temperature on the substitution. The degrees of substitution (DS) of the lauric groups on the -NH2 groups are calculated based on the integrated data of 1H NMR spectra. The optimum reaction condition is obtained as a reaction time of 6 h, a reaction temperature of 80 °C, and a molar ratio of lauric acid to O-carboxymethyl chitosan to N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride to N-hydroxysuccinimide of 1:3:4.5:4.5, respectively. The crystallinity and initial decomposition temperature of LA-CMCh decrease, but the maximum decomposition temperature increases. The crystallinity is reduced due to the introduction of LA and the degree of hydrogen bonding among LA-CMCh molecules. LA-CMCh could self-aggregate into particles, which size and critical aggregation concentration depend on the degree of substitution and medium pH. LA-CMCh aggregates could load curcumin up to 21.70 %, and continuously release curcumin for >200 min. LA-CMCh shows nontoxicity to fibroblast HFF-1 cells and good antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli, indicating that it could be used as an oil-soluble-drug carrier.

Abstract
In the nanomedicine field, there is a need to widen the availability of nanovectors to compensate for the increasingly reported side effects of poly(ethene glycol). Nanovectors enabling cross-linking can further optimize drug delivery. Cross-linkable polyoxazolines are therefore relevant candidates to address these two points. Here we present the synthesis of coumarin-functionalized poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline) block copolymers, namely, poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)-block-poly(2-phenyl-2-oxazoline) and poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)-block-poly(2-butyl-2-oxazoline). The hydrophilic ratio and molecular weights were varied in order to obtain a range of possible behaviors. Their self-assembly after nanoprecipitation or film rehydration was examined. The resulting nano-objects were fully characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cryo-TEM, multiple-angle dynamic and static light scattering. In most cases, the formation of polymer micelles was observed, as well as, in some cases, aggregates, which made characterization more difficult. Cross-linking was performed under UV illumination in the presence of a coumarin-bearing cross-linker based on polymethacrylate derivatives. Addition of the photo-cross-linker and cross-linking resulted in better-defined objects with improved stability in most cases.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system, which is highly invasive, metastatic, and insensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Chinese herbal medicine has always been an important source of anti-tumor drug development. Reineckia carnea Kunth is a traditional herb commonly used by the Miao nationality in southwest China. In this study, the extract of Reineckia carnea was isolated and purified by reverse phase preparative chromatography and other chromatographic techniques. According to the physicochemical properties and spectral data, the structure of the compound was identified, and a novel biflavone compound named Reineckia-biflavone A (RFA) was obtained. The result of antiproliferative activity showed that RFA had cytotoxicity on 786-O cells with an IC50 value of 19.34 μmol/L. The results of CCK-8 and hemolysis assays showed that RFA was not significantly cytotoxic to both red blood cells (RBC) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). By Hoechst 33258 apoptosis staining, typical apoptotic morphology was observed under fluorescence microscope. RFA could induce the apoptosis of 786-O cells with the increase of apoptosis rate. The cell cycle tests showed that the cell proportion was obviously arrested in the S phase. At the same time, RFA could decrease the mitochondrial membrane potential and increase the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration. Western blot showed that the expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins (Bax, Caspase-3, Cleaved Caspase-3, and Cytochrome c) in cells rose, while the expression level of anti-apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2) declined significantly. In conclusion, this study suggests that the RFA is a new biflavone determined by SciFinder retrieval. The apoptosis may be triggered by RFA through the mitochondrial pathway, which is mediated by up-regulating the intracellular calcium ion, down-regulating the mitochondrial membrane potential, and changing the apoptosis-related proteins.

Abstract
Herein, a novel molecule S4, which could form a uniform S4 spherical aggregate in water, was synthesized, and the S4 aggregate was used to load Dox to prepare the S4@Dox nanomedicine. The loading efficiency was 80.0 ± 4.5%. The pH response and slow release of Dox were the typical characteristics of the S4@Dox nanomedicine. In vitro experiments showed that cancer cells could successfully phagocytose S4 aggregates and the S4@Dox nanomedicine. The toxicity of S4 aggregates to MCF-7, HepG2, and H22 cells was low, and the S4@Dox nanomedicine had better antitumor activity and specific targeting, especially to the MCF-7 cells. The antitumor activity in vivo and in the tissue section showed that the S4@Dox nanomedicine could significantly reduce Dox toxicity, effectively induce the apoptosis of cancer cells, and effectively inhibit tumor growth, which showed that the nanomedicine had better antitumor activity.

Abstract
Due to the overwhelming percentage of poorly water-soluble drugs, pharmaceutical industry is in urgent need of efficient approaches for solubilization and permeability improvement. Salts consisting of lipophilic fatty acid anions and hydrophilic choline cations are found to be surface active and able to form ionic co-aggregates (ICAs) in water. Choline oleate-based ICAs significantly enhance oral absorption of paclitaxel (PTX) as compared with cremophor EL-based micelles (MCs). Aggregation-caused quenching probes enable tracking of intact ICAs in in vivo transport and cellular interaction. Prolonged intestinal retention of ICAs than MCs implies stronger solubilizing capability in vivo. Ex vivo imaging of major organs and intestinal tracts suggests transepithelial transport of intact ICAs. Cellular studies support the enhanced absorption of PTX and transmembrane transport of intact ICAs. In conclusion, ICAs, consisting of lipophilic ions and hydrophilic counter-ions, are of great potential in delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs by enhancing solubility and permeability.

Abstract
Abstract:
Marine sources have attracted much interest as an emerging source of biomaterials in drug delivery applications. Amongst all other marine biopolymers, polysaccharides have been the mostly investigated class of biomaterials. The low cytotoxic behavior, in combination with the newly explored health benefits of marine polysaccharides has made it one of the prime research areas in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. In this review, we focused on all available marine polysaccharides, including their classification based on biological sources. The applications of several marine polysaccharides in recent years for tissue-specific novel drug delivery including gastrointestinal, brain tissue, transdermal, ocular, liver, and lung have also been discussed here. The abundant availability in nature, cost-effective extraction, and purification process along with a favorable biodegradable profile will encourage researchers to continue investigating marine polysaccharides for exploring newer applications in targeting specific delivery of therapeutics.

Abstract
A highly hydrophobic and self-recoverable sponge was prepared with cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), N-alkylated chitosan (NCS), and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which was then endowed with hydrophobic properties via simple thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The three-dimensional (3D) interconnected microstructure of the prepared CNF/NCS/PVA sponge was found to have 96% porosity, ultra-low density (16.61-50.91 mg/cm3) and high hydrophobicity (water contact angle of 147°), which can absorb various organic solvents with an absorption capacity of 19.05-51.08 times of its original weight. Besides, the sponge could bear 80% strain and be cyclically compressed 50 times under the strain of 50%. The sponge can effectively separate oil/water mixtures and water-in-oil emulsions with high separation efficiency and fluxes. Moreover, the sponge could keep its good stability in various acidic, saline and mechanical abrasion conditions. The green preparation and good separation efficiency suggest a potential application of recyclable and versatile CNF/NCS/PVA sponges in oil/water separation.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the major causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Nowadays, liver-targeting drug delivery system has been proven as a promising strategy for overcoming HCC. Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is an ideal receptor for liver targeting, which is mainly expressed on hepatocytes. In this study, we developed several novel liver-targeting chitosan nanoparticles to selectively overcome HCC via ASGPR. Chitosan nanoparticles (Gly-CS-VE, Gal-Gly-CS-VE, Gly-CS-DCA, and Gal-Gly-CS-DCA) were prepared by grafting hydrophilic group (glycidol, Gly), hydrophobic group (deoxycholic acid, DCA or vitamin E succinate, VE), and ASGPR recognizing group (galactose, Gal). Subsequently, their characterizations were measured by 1H NMR, FT-IR, TEM, and DLS. Doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded in nanoparticles and released out in a pH-dependent manner. Most importantly, the galactosylated Gal-Gly-CS-VE and Gal-Gly-CS-DCA nanoparticles exhibited significantly stronger in vitro cell internalization, cytotoxicity, anti-migration capabilities and in vivo anticancer efficacies than the corresponding Gly-CS-VE and Gly-CS-DCA nanoparticles, as well as free DOX. Finally, the four chitosan nanoparticles exhibited good biocompatibility without causing any obvious histological damage to the major organs. Overall, the galactosylated chitosan nanoparticles were proven to be promising pharmaceutical formulations for selectively overcoming HCC, with great potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based biomaterials (e.g., chitosan, dextran, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate and heparin) have received great attention in healthcare, particularly in drug delivery for tumor therapy. They are naturally abundant and available, outstandingly biodegradable and biocompatible, and they generally have negligible toxicity and low immunogenicity. In addition, they are easily chemically or physically modified. Therefore, PSs-based nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively investigated for the enhancement of tumor treatment. In this review, we introduce the synthetic pathways of amphiphilic PS derivatives, which allow the constructs to self-assemble into NPs with various structures. We especially offer an overview of the emerging applications of self-assembled PSs-based NPs in tumor chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), gene therapy and immunotherapy. We believe that this review can provide criteria for a rational and molecular level-based design of PS-based NPs, and comprehensive insight into the potential of PS-based NPs used in multiple cancer therapies.

Abstract
Cancer-based magnetic theranostics has gained significant interest in recent years and can contribute as an influential archetype in the effective treatment of cancer. Owing to their excellent biocompatibility, minute sizes and reactive functional surface groups, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are being explored as potential drug delivery systems. In this study, MgFe2O4 ferrite MNPs were evaluated for their potential to augment the delivery of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). These MNPs were successfully synthesized by the glycol-thermal method and functionalized with the polymers; chitosan (CHI), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), respectively, as confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of the single-phase cubic spinel structures while vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis confirmed the superparamagnetic properties of all MNPs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) revealed small, compact structures with good colloidal stability. CHI-MNPs had the highest DOX encapsulation (84.28%), with the PVA-MNPs recording the lowest encapsulation efficiency (59.49%). The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) cytotoxicity assays conducted in the human embryonic kidney (HEK293), colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2), and breast adenocarcinoma (SKBR-3) cell lines showed that all the drug-free polymerized MNPs promoted cell survival, while the DOX loaded MNPs significantly reduced cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. The DOX-CHI-MNPs possessed superior anticancer activity (<40% cell viability), with approximately 85.86% of the drug released after 72 h in a pH-responsive manner. These MNPs have shown good potential in enhancing drug delivery, thus warranting further optimizations and investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exenatide (EXE) is an anti-hyperglycemic agent approved for treating type 2 diabetes by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, twice-daily injection of exenatide inconveniences most patients. OBJECTIVE In this study, biotinylated trimethylated chitosan (Bio-TMC) based nanoparticles were proposed to promote oral absorption of exenatide. Realizing the oral administration of exenatide is very important to alleviate patient suffering and improve patient compliance. METHODS Bio-TMC was synthesized, and the chemical structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Nanoparticles were prepared through polyelectrolyte interaction in the presence of sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HP-55). The formulations were physically and chemically characterized. In vitro release was investigated in different pH media. In vivo antidiabetic activities of biotin modified and non-biotin modified chitosan were evaluated in db/db mice. RESULTS EXE-loaded Bio-TMC/HP-55 nanoparticles were spherical in shape with a mean diameter of 156.2 nm and zeta potential of +11.3 mV. The drug loading efficiency and loading contents were 52.38% and 2.08%, respectively. In vitro release revealed that EXE-loaded Bio-TMC/HP-55 nanoparticles were released faster in pH 1.2 than pH 6.8 (63.71% vs. 50.12%), indicating that nanoparticles had enteric characteristics. Antidiabetic activity study revealed that after oral administration to diabetic mice, the relative pharmacological bioavailability (FPharm%) of the biotin modified nanoparticles was found to be 1.27-fold higher compared with the unmodified ones and the hypoglycemic effect was also better. CONCLUSION Bio-TMC/HP-55 nanoparticles are feasible as oral drug carriers of exenatide and have the potential to be extended to other drugs that are not readily oral, such as monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, genes, etc., thus, this would be beneficial for pharmaceutical industries. Further research will focus on the biodistribution of Bio-TMC/HP-55 nanoparticles after oral administration.

Abstract
Nanocarriers have emerged as a promising cancer drug delivery strategy. Multi-drug resistance caused by overexpression of multiple-drug excretion transporters in tumor cells is the major obstacle to successful chemotherapy. Vitamin E derivatives have many essential functions for drug delivery applications, such as biological components that are hydrophobic, stable, water-soluble enhancing compounds, and anticancer activity. In addition, vitamin E derivatives are also effective mitocan which can overcome multi-drug resistance by binding to P glycoproteins. Here, we developed a carboxymethyl chitosan/vitamin E succinate nano-micellar system (O-CMCTS-VES). The synthesized polymers were characterized by Fourier Transform IR, and 1H NMR spectra. The mean sizes of O-CMCTS-VES and DOX-loaded nanoparticles were around 177 nm and 208 nm. The drug loading contents were 6.1%, 13.0% and 10.6% with the weight ratio of DOX to O-CMCTS-VES corresponding 1:10, 2:10 and 3:10, and the corresponding EEs were 64.3%, 74.5% and 39.7%. Cytotoxicity test, hemolysis test and histocompatibility test showed that it had good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. Drug release experiments implied good pH sensitivity and sustained-release effect. The DOX/O-CMCTS-VES nanoparticles can be efficiently taken up by HepG2 cancer cells and the tumor inhibition rate is up to 62.57%. In the in vivo study by using H22 cells implanted Balb/C mice, DOX/O-CMCTS-VES reduced the tumor volume and weight efficiently with a TIR of 35.58%. The newly developed polymeric micelles could successfully be utilized as a nanocarrier system for hydrophobic chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of solid tumors. A nano-micellar system (O-CMCTS-VES) constituted by carboxymethyl chitosan and vitamin E succinate was fabricated. The micelles hold high cytocompatibility, hemocompatibility, tissue compatibility, and drug load contents. Drug release experiments implied good pH sensitivity and sustained-release effect of O-CMCTS-VES. O-CMCTS-VES loading DOX showed efficient anti-tumor effect in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Hepatitis B (HB) is a viral infectious disease that seriously endangers human health, and since there are no radical drugs to counter this, effective and safe therapies urgently need to be developed. HB virus (HBV) mainly infects hepatocytes (HCs), while the drugs are easily phagocytosed by Kupffer cells (KCs). In this study, the glutathione concentration difference between HCs and KCs was examined and utilized in an ideal drug-release strategy. Here, galactosylated chitosan-oligosaccharide-SS-octadecylamine (Gal-CSSO) was prepared to accurately deliver 10-23 DNAzyme DrzBC (blocking HBeAg expression) or DrzBS (blocking HBsAg expression) in targeted HB therapy. In vitro Gal-CSSO systems exhibited low cytotoxicity, endosomal escape, and glutathione responsiveness. The HBeAg and HBsAg secretion of HepG2.2.15 was significantly decreased by Gal-CSSO systems, and the maximum inhibition rates were 1.82-fold and 2.38-fold greater than those of commercial Lipofectamine 2000 (Lipo2000) systems. In vivo Gal-CSSO systems exhibited HC targeting and HC microenvironmental responsiveness without noticeable hepatotoxicity or systemic toxicity. The HBeAg and HBsAg titers of the HBV-infected mice were evidently decreased by Gal-CSSO systems, and the inhibition rates were 1.52-fold and 1.22-fold greater than those of Lipo2000 systems. This study presents a kind of glycolipid-like polymer micelles that promise efficient and safe gene therapy of HB.

Abstract
In this study, galactosamine-modified poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactide) (Gal-PEG-PLA) polymers were synthesized and Gal-PEG-PLA/D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) micelles named as GPP micelles were designed to promote the oral absorption of a hydrophobic drug, curcumin (CUR). CUR-loaded Gal-PEG-PLA/TPGS micelles (CUR@GPP micelles) were fabricated using the thin-film dispersion method. CUR@GPP micelles had a size of about 100 nm, a near-neutral zeta potential, drug loading (DL) of 14.6%, and sustained release properties. GPP micelles with high Gal density (GPP3 micelles) were superior in facilitating uptake in epithelial cells and improving intestinal permeation. In situ intestinal absorption studies suggested that the jejunum and ileum were the best absorption segments in the intestinal tract. Additionally, biodistribution results revealed that GPP3 micelles could be remarkably taken up by the jejunum and ileum. Pharmacokinetics revealed that the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0-24) for CUR@GPP3 micelles were both significantly increased, and that the relative bioavailability of CUR@GPP3 micelles to CUR-loaded mPEG-PLA/TPGS micelles (CUR@PP micelles) was 258.8%. Furthermore, CUR-loaded micelles could reduce damage to the liver and intestinal tissues. This study highlights the importance of Gal content in the design of targeting nanocarrier Gal-modified micelles, which have broad prospects for oral delivery of hydrophobic drugs. Therefore, they could serve as a promising candidate for targeted delivery to the liver.

Abstract
Chemical modification of chitosan derivatives with hydrophobic fatty acids to enhance their self-aggregation behavior is well established. Previously our group reported low molecular weight carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) which showed enhancement in apparent permeability of hydrophobic drug, tamoxifen. Further extension to this work, herein we synthesize a new polymer of oleic acid grafted low molecular weight carboxymethyl chitosan (OA-CMCS) for maneuvering biopharmaceutical performance of poorly water soluble drugs. This polymer was designed and synthesized via amidation reaction and well characterized by analytical tools like 1H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. OA-CMCS conjugate easily self-organized into micelles like structure in an aqueous medium and showed a low critical micellar concentration of 1 µg/mL. Poorly water-soluble drug, docetaxel (DTX) was used as a model drug in this study. Optimization of variables resulted in the formation of spherical DTX loaded OA-CMCS micelles in the size range of 213.4 ± 9.6 nm with an entrapment efficiency of 57.26 ± 1.25%. DTX loaded OA-CMCS micelles showed slow and sustained DTX release behavior in simulated body fluid during in vitro release study. The permeability of DTX loaded OA-CMCS micelles across the gastrointestinal tract were investigated by in vitro Caco-2 cells model. The apparent permeability of DTX loaded OA-CMCS micelles improved up to 6.57-fold in comparison to free DTX suspension which indicates the increase in paracellular absorption of DTX. Additionally, in vivo pharmacokinetic study demonstrates an increase in Cmax (1.97-fold) and AUC (2.62-fold) for DTX loaded OA-CMCS micelles compared to free DTX suspension. Hence, we propose OA-CMCS as a promising cargo to incorporate drugs for enhancement of biopharmaceutical performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioengineering products can help bone tissue regeneration. OBJECTIVE There is an ongoing research for more effective biomaterials in bone regeneration. Chitosan (Ch) grafted stearic acid (Ch-g-Sa) polymer was synthesized and its usability as a putty was evaluated in this study. METHODS The chemical structure of Ch-g-Sa polymer was investigated using Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR). Thermal properties of Ch-g-Sa polymer were determined by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Putties containing nano-hydroxyapatite were prepared and in-vitro degradation properties and viscosity of the putties were determined. RESULTS The cytotoxicity, oxidation effect and osteogenic potential of the putties were investigated on MC3T3 cells while the inflammatory effect of the putties was studied on THP-1 cells. For the determination of the osteogenic effect of the putties, ALP and RUNX2 gene expression of MC3T3 cells were studied. CONCLUSION Ch-g-Sa/HA putties are promising biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Micro-molecular drugs have special advantages to cope with challenging diseases, however their structure, physical and chemical properties, stability, and pharmacodynamics have more requirements for the way they are delivered into the body. Carrier-based drug delivery systems can circumvent many limited factors of drug delivery and increase their bioavailability. In this context, stable drug nanocarriers of alkaline amino acids (arginine, Arg) modified conjugated linoleic acid-carboxymethyl chitosan (CLA-CMCS) conjugate were developed, which could generate supramolecular micelles to effectively encapsulate the tyrosinase inhibitor phenylethyl resorcinol (PR). The resulting CCA-NPs were spherical nanoparticles with a mean size around 175 nm. The 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and cellular uptake investigation demonstrated that the CCA-NPs were non-cytotoxic and had excellent cell transport ability. In addition, these CCA-NPs were able to effectively deliver PR and inhibited melanin formation to reduce pigmentation by enhancing cellular uptake. In conclusion, our research indicated that nanocarriers based on self-assembly amphiphilic polymers constituted a promising and effective drug delivery system in hyperpigmentation targeting.

Abstract
In this study, pH-triggered polymeric micelle comprising α-tocopherol (TOC) and heparin (HEP) was developed and loaded with docetaxel (DTX). The amphiphilic copolymer was synthesized by grafting TOC onto HEP backbone by a pH-cleavable bond. DTX-loaded micelles were characterized in terms of critical micelle concentration (CMC), particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency (EE), pH-responsive behavior, and drug release. In vitro cytotoxicity of the micelles against breast cancer cells was investigated by MTT assay. The cellular uptake of coumarin-loaded micelles was also evaluated. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetics of DTX-loaded micelles was evaluated and compared with that of Taxotere®.HEP-CA-TOC copolymers showed low CMC values and high EE. At pH 7.4, the micelles remained stable in size and shape, whereas considerable changes in particle size and morphology were observed at pH 5.5. DTX-loaded micelles showed pH-dependent drug release profiles. Coumarin-loaded micelles showed higher cellular uptake than free coumarin. Therefore, the DTX-loaded micelles showed more toxicity against breast cancer cells than free DTX. A significant increase in T1/2 β, AUC0-∞ and MRT was observed in DTX-loaded micelle treated group as compared to the group treated with Taxotere®.The results suggest that the pH-sensitive HEP-modified micelles could be promising for enhanced intracellular drug delivery of DTX for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Although it is reported that the targeting ability of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based nanoparticles (NPs) is molecular weight (MW) dependent, the influence of HA MW on targeting efficiency of HA-functionalized NPs and the underlying mechanism remain elusive. In this study, we constituted three HA-functionalized Dox-loaded NPs (Dox/HCVs) different HA MWs (7, 63, and 102 kDa) and attempted to illustrate the effects of HA MW on the targeting efficiency. The three Dox/HCVs had similar physiochemical and pharmaceutical characteristics, but showed different affinity to CD44 receptor. Furthermore, Dox/HCV-63 exerted the best targeting effect and the highest cytotoxicity compared with Dox/HCV-7 and Dox/HCV-102. It was interesting to found that both the HA-CD44 binding affinity and induced CD44 clustering by HA-based NPs were HA MW-dependent, the two of which determine the apparent targeting efficacy of Dox/HCV NPs in the conflicting directions. Those results laid a good foundation for rationally designing HA-based NPs in cancer therapy.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to improve the aqueous solubility of naringenin by conjugating with water-soluble polysaccharide carrier, pectin. The pectin-naringenin conjugate was synthesized employing dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and dimethylaminopyridine. The conjugation was confirmed by various physicochemical characterizations. The results of differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and morphological analyses revealed semi-crystalline nature of the conjugate. The chromatographic analysis showed 37.069 µg naringenin/mg of conjugate. The conjugate was determined to have molecular weight of 6.22 × 104 kDa by static light scattering. In silico molecular mechanistic simulations performed for pectin and naringenin revealed the energetic and geometrical stability within the polysaccharide-polyphenol conjugate. The critical aggregation concentration was in the range of 44.67-56.23 μg/mL as determined by dynamic light scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy. On in vitro release, 99.4% (pH 1.2) and 57.62% (pH 7.4) of naringenin were found to be released over a period of 30 h and 48 h, respectively. Further, the release of naringenin followed Higuchi's square-root kinetics with diffusion as the possible release mechanism. A comparative evaluation for antioxidant activity revealed a significantly higher radical scavenging activity of conjugate over the naringenin. Further, the conjugate exhibited significantly higher antimicrobial action against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa while a comparable antimicrobial activity was observed against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The cytotoxicity studies of the synthesized conjugate showed anti-cancer activity against NIH: OVCAR-5 cells. In conclusion, the pectin-naringenin conjugate presented hydrocolloidal properties with improved therapeutic efficacy and delivery over the native polyphenol.

Abstract
Chitosan as a biopolymer is an attractive vehicle for biomedical applications due to its unique characteristics. In order to improve chitosan's physicochemical features, chemical modification has been carried out to make it more suitable for such approaches. The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate thiolated chitosan-lauric acid as a new chitosan derivative for biomedical use. Lauric acid was introduced to chitosan via stable amide bond between carboxylic acid group of fatty acid and the amine in the chitosan and thiolation was carried out using thioglycolic acid. Resulted polymers were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and TGA. Moreover, cell viability assessment of new derivative was performed using MTT method. FTIR and 1H NMR results showed that both substitution reactions were successfully completed. Furthermore, new synthesized polymer had no significant cytotoxicity against normal gingiva human cells (HGF1-PI 1).These findings confirm that this new derivative can be introduced as a suitable polymer for biomedical purposes such as mucosal drug delivery.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS)-acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) nanoparticles, which are well dispersed and stable in aqueous solution, have been prepared by interpolymer complexation of ASA in CS solution. The physicochemical properties of nanoparticles were investigated by using FT-IR, 1H NMR, scanning electron microscope(SEM), dynamic light scattering, and UV spectrophotometer. It was found that the carboxyl group of the ASA had firmly integrated on the amino group of CS and the ASA-CS nanoparticles were almost spherical in shape with an average diameter of less than (79.3 ± 24.6) nm in high reproducibility and showed high chemical stability against environmental changes. It was also found that the prepared nanoparticles carried a positive charge and showed the size in the range from 700 to 150 nm. The surface structure and zeta potential of nanoparticles can be controlled by different preparation processes. The factor experiment results indicated that the ASA-CS nanoparticles had satisfactory loading capacity (LC) and encapsulation efficiency (EE), 27.27% and 46.88% (data not shown), respectively. The experiments of in vitro ASA release showed that these nanoparticles provided a sustained and pH-dependent drug release manner, and the release behavior was influenced by the pH value of the medium. Preliminary pharmacology experiment exhibited prolonged circulation and higher bioavailability than that of ASA. All the results indicated that ASA/CS nanoparticles may have promising pharmaceutical application, and further pharmacological research is needed to confirm these beneficial effects.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes have been demonstrated to be promising candidates as biomarkers and biological carriers. Our study focuses on the development of a novel amphiphilic fluorescent probe with good photostability, high water solubility, excellent specificity and promising loading capability for tumor diagnosis and treatment. At first, BODIPY dye and O-carboxymethyl chitosan were prepared via a chemical reaction. Then, the prepared BODIPY dye and cRGD were bonded to O-carboxymethyl chitosan successively via an acylation reaction. Finally, we obtained the desired amphiphilic fluorescent probe: BODIPY–O-CMC–cRGD, which was based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) principle for selective visualization of tumors in vitro. Through a series of experiments, we found that this fluorescent probe possessed better fluorescence characteristics and tumor targeting properties. Simultaneously, by self-assembly, the amphiphilic probe encapsulated the other flexible structure of BODIPY2 and the rigid structure of porphyrin, which formed distinct nanoparticles with different particle sizes. Hence, we could observe different phagocytosis processes of the two nanoparticles in the tumor cells via the fluorescence of dyes by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Therefore, the results suggest that the fluorescent probe has advantages in tumor detection, and the constructed tumor-specific nanoparticles show high clinical potential to be utilized not only in visual and precise diagnosis but also in excellent drug delivery for tumor treatment. Henceforth, we will prepare new targeted and visualized pharmaceuticals by replacing BODIPY2 and porphyrin with antineoplastic drugs for future tumor treatment. The amphipathic fluorescence probe, BODIPY–O-CMC–cRGD, can be applied in visualized diagnoses and as drug delivery vehicles of visualized therapies in the future.![]()

Abstract
In this paper, the starch was firstly modified by quaternary reagent to obtain cationic starch. Then self-assembled folate-biotin-quaternized starch nanoparticles were prepared by a one-pot synthesis via N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide/4-dimethylaminopyridine-mediated esterification reaction. The physicochemical properties of the prepared folate-biotin-quaternized starch nanoparticles were characterized. The average diameter of folate-biotin-quaternized starch nanoparticles was 109 nm with polydispersity index of 0.183 and zeta potential of 28.59 mV. The folate-biotin-quaternized starch nanoparticles were used as co-carrier of siRNA and doxorubicin with satisfactory drug loading capacity (6.98%) and encapsulation efficiency (69.66 %), and siRNA could be efficiently encapsulated at 40/1 weight ratio of doxorubicin/folate-biotin-quaternized starch nanoparticles to siRNA. The folate-biotin-quaternized starch nanoparticles could effectively protect siRNA from degradation of serum RNAase for up to 48 h. The release characteristics of doxorubicin and siRNA from folate-biotin-quaternized starch nanoparticles were studied in different pH environment and the release behaviors of two drugs were all pH sensitive. The folate-biotin-quaternized starch nanoparticles as a potential co-carrier of anticancer agents and gene drugs was expected to achieve future practical application in vitro and in vivo.
