Local delivery of methotrexate/glycyrrhizin-loaded hyaluronic acid nanofiber for the management of oral cancer. Int J Pharm 2024; 660:124311. [PMID: 38848798 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124311] [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: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
The challenges in treating oral cancer include the limited effectiveness and systemic side effects of conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Hyaluronic acid (HA) based Glycyrrhizin (GL) and Methotrexate (MT) loaded localized delivery systems, specifically nanofiber (NF) based platforms, were developed to address these challenges. The electrospinning method was used for the successful fabrication of a homogenous NF membrane and characterized for morphology, drug entrapment efficiency, tensile strength, and ex-vivo mucoadhesive study. Also, it was evaluated for in-vitro drug release profile, ex-vivo drug permeability, in-vitro anti-inflammatory, apoptosis assay by MTT and flow, and against specific cell lines in order to determine their potential for therapeutic use. Superior tensile breaking force (50 g), mucoadhesive strength of 153 gm/cm2, drug permeability, and releasing properties of designed NF, making them perfect requirements for oral cavity delivery. The anticancer potential of MT in the MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis was significantly increased in oral epidermal carcinoma cell (KB cell) for drug-loaded NF with 63.97 ± 1.99 % apoptosis, at 24 h. With these incorporated, GL with MT in NF had an anti-inflammatory potential, also demonstrated in-vitro and in-vivo. In the Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) induced mice model, the optimal formulation's shows better potential for tumor regression when comparing the developed NF formulation to the drugs. Experimental results show that by lowering mucositis-related inflammation and enhancing the effectiveness of oral cancer treatment, a developed nanofiber-based local drug delivery system offers a feasible strategy for managing oral cancer.

Abstract
In the 21st century, chemotherapy stands as a primary treatment method for prevalent diseases, yet drug resistance remains a pressing challenge. Utilizing electrospinning to support chemotherapy drugs offers sustained and controlled release methods in contrast to oral and implantable drug delivery modes, which enable localized treatment of distinct tumor types. Moreover, the core-sheath structure in electrospinning bears advantages in dual-drug loading: the core and sheath layers can carry different drugs, facilitating collaborative treatment to counter chemotherapy drug resistance. This approach minimizes patient discomfort associated with multiple-drug administration. Electrospun fibers not only transport drugs but can also integrate metal particles and targeted compounds, enabling combinations of chemotherapy with magnetic and heat therapies for comprehensive cancer treatment. This review delves into electrospinning preparation techniques and drug delivery methods tailored to various cancers, foreseeing their promising roles in cancer treatment.

Int J Pharm 2023; 636:122860. [PMID: 36933584 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
Silymarin (SME) shows multiple therapeutic actions against several cancers, however, low aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability issues restrict its clinical use. In this study, SME was loaded in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) and further incorporated in mucoadhesive in-situ gel (SME-NLCs-Plx/CP-ISG) for localized treatment of oral cancer. Using a 33 Box-Behnken design (BBD), an optimized SME-NLC formula was developed with the ratios of solid lipids, surfactant concentration, and sonication time as independent variables, while particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), and % encapsulation efficiency (EE) as dependent variables, resulting in 315.5 ± 0.1 nm PS, 0.341 ± 0.01 PDI, and 71.05 ± 0.05 % EE. Structural studies confirmed the formation of SME-NLCs. SME-NLCs incorporated in-situ gel demonstrated a sustained release for SME, indicating enhanced retention on the buccal mucosal membrane. The in-situ gel containing SME-NLCs showed a marked decrease in IC50 value (24.90 ± 0.45 µM) than SME-NLCs (28.40 ± 0.89 µM) and plain SME (36.60 ± 0.26 µM). The studies demonstrated that Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation potential and SME-NLCs-Plx/CP-ISG induced apoptosis at Sub-G0 phase owing to higher penetration of SME-NLCs led to higher inhibition against human KB oral cancer cells. Therefore, SME-NLCs-Plx/CP-ISG can be the alternative to chemotherapy and surgery with site-specific delivery of SME to oral cancer patients.

Abstract
Enzymatic hydrolysis has been validated as an appropriate strategy for improving the properties of natural protein. Here, we used enzymatic hydrolysis sodium caseinate (Eh NaCas) as a nano-carrier for enhancing the solubility, stability, and antioxidant and anti-biofilm activities of hydrophobic encapsulants. Tanshinone IIA (TA) was loaded into the hydrophobic regions of Eh NaCas by self-assembly, and the encapsulation efficiency could reach 96.54 ± 0.14% under an optimized host-guest ratio. After Eh NaCas packed, the TA-loaded Eh NaCas nanoparticles (Eh NaCas@TA) showed regular spheres, uniform particle size distribution and more optimal drug release. Moreover, the solubility of TA in aqueous solution increased over 2.4 × 105 times, and the TA guest molecules displayed excellent stability under light and other harsh environments. Interestingly, the vehicle protein and TA exhibited synergistic antioxidant effects. Furthermore, Eh NaCas@TA forcefully restrained the growth and destroyed the biofilm construction of Streptococcus mutans compared to free TA, showing positive antibacterial activity. The establishment of these results demonstrated the feasibility and functionality of edible protein hydrolysates as nano-carriers for loading natural plant hydrophobic extracts.

Abstract
Excessive acetaminophen (APAP) induces excess reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to liver damage. Pterostilbene (PTE) has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, but poor solubility limits its biological activity. In this study, we prepared PTE-loaded Soluplus/poloxamer 188 mixed micelles (PTE-MMs), and the protective mechanism against APAP-induced liver injury was investigated. In vitro results showed that PTE-MMs protected H2O2-induced HepG2 cell proliferation inhibition, ROS accumulation, and mitochondrial membrane potential destruction. Immunofluorescence results indicated that PTE-MMs significantly inhibited H2O2-induced DNA damage and cGAS-STING pathway activation. For in vivo protection studies, PTE-MMs (25 and 50 mg/kg) were administered orally for 5 days, followed by APAP (300 mg/kg). The results showed that APAP significantly induced injury in liver histopathology as well as an increase in serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels. Moreover, the above characteristics of APAP-induced acute liver injury were inhibited by PTE-MMs. In addition, APAP-induced changes in the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and GSH in liver tissue were also inhibited by PTE-MMs. Immunohistochemical results showed that PTE-MMs inhibited APAP-induced DNA damage and cGAS-STING pathway activation in liver tissues. For in vivo therapeutic effect study, mice were first given APAP (300 mg/kg), followed by oral administration of PTE-MMs (50 mg/kg) for 3 days. The results showed that PTE-MMs exhibited promising therapeutic effects on APAP-induced acute liver injury. In conclusion, our study shows that the Soluplus/poloxamer 188 MM system has the potential to enhance the biological activity of PTE in the protection and therapeutic of liver injury.

Abstract
Herbal medicine has a long history of medical efficacy with low toxicity, side effects and good biocompatibility. However, the bioavailability of the extract of raw herbs and bioactive compounds is poor because of their low water solubility. In order to overcome the solubility issues, electrospinning technology can offer a delivery alternative to resolve them. The electrospun fibers have the advantages of high specific surface area, high porosity, excellent mechanical strength and flexible structures. At the same time, various natural and synthetic polymer-bound fibers can mimic extracellular matrix applications in different medical fields. In this paper, the development of electrospinning technology and polymers used for incorporating herbal medicine into electrospun nanofibers are reviewed. Finally, the recent progress of the applications of these herbal medicine nanofibers in biomedical (drug delivery, wound dressing, tissue engineering) and food fields along with their future prospects is discussed.

Abstract
The in vitro antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities of a few plant extracts were widely known for decades, and they were used for application in the conventional way. Specifically, electrospun nanofibrous mats have recently exhibited great antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities. The herbal extracts infused into these formations are expected to have a more efficient and integrated effect on in vitro biological applications. The purpose of this study is to develop polycaprolactone- (PCL-) based nanofiber mats that are infused with a traditional plant extract using Clerodendrum phlomidis leaves to improve the synthesized nanofibers' antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant efficacy. This study examined the morphology, thermal properties, mechanical properties, structure, and in vitro drug release studies of electrospun nanofibers. Antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities of the electrospun nanofibrous mats were also studied. The HRTEM and FESEM pictures of PCL and PCL-CPM nanofibers provide that smooth, defect-free, and homogeneous nanofibers were found to be 602.08 ± 75 nm and 414.15 ± 82 nm for PCL and PCL-CPM nanofibers, respectively. The presence of Clerodendrum phlomidis extract in the electrospun nanofibers was approved by UV-visible and FTIR spectroscopy. The incorporation of Clerodendrum phlomidis extract to nanofiber mats resulted in substantial antibacterial activity against bacterial cells. PCL-CPM mats exposed to oral cancer (HSC-3) and renal cell carcinoma (ACHN) cell lines displayed promising anticancer activity with less than 50% survival rate after 24 h of incubation. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay performed on PCL-CPM nanofibers revealed the antioxidant scavenging activity with maximum inhibition of 34% suggesting the role of the secondary metabolites release from scaffold. As a result, the findings of this study revealed that Clerodendrum phlomidis extract encapsulating PCL electrospun nanofibers has a high potential for usage as a biobased antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant agent.

Abstract
Most common intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction regimens for the management of glaucoma include the topical use of eye drops, a dosage form that is associated with short residence time at the site of action, increased dosing frequency, and reduced patient compliance. In situ gelling nanofiber films comprising poly(vinyl alcohol) and Poloxamer 407 were fabricated via electrospinning for the ocular delivery of timolol maleate (TM), aiming to sustain the IOP-lowering effect of the β-blocker, compared to conventional eye drops. The electrospinning process was optimized, and the physicochemical properties of the developed formulations were thoroughly investigated. The fiber diameters of the drug-loaded films ranged between 123 and 145 nm and the drug content between 5.85 and 7.83% w/w. Total in vitro drug release from the ocular films was attained within 15 min following first-order kinetics, showing higher apparent permeability (Papp) values across porcine corneas compared to the drug's solution. The fabricated films did not induce any ocular irritation as evidenced by both the hen's egg test on chorioallantoic membrane and the in vivo Draize test. In vivo administration of the ocular films in rabbits induced a faster onset of action and a sustained IOP-lowering effect up to 24 h compared to TM solution, suggesting that the proposed ocular films are promising systems for the sustained topical delivery of TM.

Kim S, Kim JJ, Jeong JH, Kim Y, Park J, Jeong DI, Kim HJ, Hwang C, Ahn SH, Ko HJ, Cho HJ. Fast dissolving nanofiber mat for the local antimicrobial application of roxithromycin in oral cavity. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 131:112537. [PMID: 34857312 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2021] [Revised: 10/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Fast disintegrating and dissolving nanofiber (NF) mat was devised to deliver roxithromycin for the treatment of the respiratory tract infection. NF membrane was made by an electrospinning process with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), and d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) for local application of roxithromycin. Roxithromycin has a poor water solubility thus HP-β-CD is introduced for enhancing drug solubility by forming an inclusion complex in this study. The addition of TPGS provided multiple roles such as accelerating wetting, disintegration, and dissolution speed and overcoming bacterial resistance. Roxithromycin was successfully entrapped in NF structure and drug amorphization occurred during the electrospinning process. PVA/HP-β-CD/TPGS/roxithromycin (PHTR) NF exhibited faster wetting, disintegration, and dissolution speed rather than the other NF mats. PHTR NF displayed higher antibacterial potentials in Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) and Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus) compared to other NF mat formulations. The administration of PHTR NF to oral cavity in pneumococcal disease mouse model provided the most efficient therapeutic potentials in lung tissue. Designed multiple phase-based NF mat may be one of powerful local drug delivery systems for the therapy of respiratory tract infection.

Abstract
Betulinic acid (3β-Hydroxy-20(29)-lupaene-28-oic acid, BA) has excellent anti-cancer activity but poor solubility and low bioavailability. To improve the antitumor activity of BA, a polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol (PVCL-PVA-PEG) graft copolymer (Soluplus) encapsulated BA micelle (Soluplus-BA) was fabricated. The Soluplus-BA micelles presented a mean size of 54.77 ± 1.26 nm and a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.083. The MTT assay results showed that Soluplus-BA micelles increased the inhibitory effect of BA on MDA-MB-231 cells, mainly due to the enhanced accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the destruction of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Soluplus-BA micelles induced the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) as the γH2AX foci increased. Moreover, Soluplus-BA also inhibited the tube formation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and inhibited the neovascularization of the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). This angiogenesis inhibitory effect may be accomplished by regulating the HIF-1/VEGF-FAK signaling pathway. The in vivo study confirmed the improved anti-tumor effect of Soluplus-BA and its inhibitory effect on angiogenesis, demonstrating the possibility of Soluplus-BA as an effective anti-breast cancer drug delivery system.

Abstract
Fast Dissolving/Disintegrating Dosage Forms (FDDFs) are a group of dosage forms which dissolve or disintegrate quickly, leading to fast distribution of active ingredients at the site of administration; thereby providing ease of oral ingestion of solid unit dosage forms and have the potential to enhance transmucosal absorption. With time, the use of FDDFs in alternative systems has significantly increased. Homeopathic systems and traditional Chinese medicine have embraced FDDFs for the delivery of active compounds. Most of the patents in this area are from China or by the Chinese innovators. In Europe and US, FDDFs have been extensively studied for the delivery of natural active compounds. It was fascinating to know that some new dosage forms and new routes of delivering active compounds are also making their way to the family of FDDFs. The dose of active compound, size of dosage forms, standardization of extracts, polyherbal mixtures, stability of active compounds, safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics are challenging issues for developing FDDF herbal formulations or phytopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Dysregulation of the tyrosine kinase signaling pathway is closely related to tumor development, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors are important targets for potential anticancer strategies. In particular, sorafenib, as a representative drug of multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitors, has
an important clinical status and is widely used for treating various solid tumors and diabetic complications. However, poor aqueous solubility of sorafenib, poor bioavailability of commonly used oral dose forms, poor accumulation at tumor sites, and severe off-target effects that tend to induce
intolerable systemic side effects in patients have greatly reduced its therapeutic efficiency and limited its extensive clinical application. To improve the properties of sorafenib, increase the efficiency of clinical treatment, and overcome the increasingly prominent phenomenon of sorafenib
resistance, multiple investigations have been conducted. Numerous studies have reported that the properties of nanomaterials, such as small particle size, large specific surface area, high surface activity and high adsorption capacity, make nanotechnology promising for the construction of
ideal sorafenib nanodelivery systems to achieve timed and targeted delivery of sorafenib to tumors, prolong the blood circulation time of the drug, improve the utilization efficiency of the drug and reduce systemic toxic side effects. This review summarizes the progress of research applications
in nanotechnology related to sorafenib, discusses the current problems, and expresses expectations for the prospect of clinical applications of sorafenib with improved performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electrospinning is developing rapidly from an earlier laboratory method into an industrial process. The clinical applications are approached in various ways through electrospun medicated nanofibers. The fast-dissolving oral drug delivery system (DDS) among them is one of the most promising routes in the near future for commercial applications. METHODS Related papers are investigated, including the latest research results, on electrospun nanofiber-based fast-dissolution DDSs. RESULTS Several relative topics have been concluded: 1) the development of electrospinning, ranging from 1-fluid blending to multi-fluid process and potential applications in the formation of medicated nanofibers involving poorly water-soluble drugs; 2) Selection of appropriate polymer matrices and drug carriers for filament formation; 3) Types of poorly water-soluble drugs ideal for fast oral delivery; 4) The methods for evaluating fast-dissolving nanofibers; 5) The mechanisms that promote the fast dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs by electrospun nanofibers; 6) the important issues for further development of electrospun medicated nanofibers as oral fast-dissolving drug delivery systems. Conclusions & Perspectives: The unique properties of electrospun-medicated nanofibers can be used as oral fast dissolving DDSs of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, some significant issues need to be investigated, such as scalable productions and solid dosage form conversions.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease has been associated with increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Recently, we have shown that a critical balance between cytosolic ROS and mitochondrial ROS is crucial in cardiovascular health and that modulation of mitochondrial ROS helps prevent detrimental effects of cytosolic ROS on endothelial cells (EC) in transgenic animals. Here, we report the development of a controlled delivery system for a mitochondria‐targeted antioxidant, JP4‐039, from an electrospun scaffold made of FDA‐approved biocompatible polymeric nanofibers. We demonstrate that the active antioxidant moiety was preserved in released JP4‐039 for over 72 h using electron paramagnetic resonance. We also show that both the initial burst release of the drug within the first 20 min and the ensuing slow and sustained release that occurred over the next 24 h improved tube formation in human coronary artery ECs (HCAEC) in vitro. Taken together, these findings suggest that electrospinning methods can be used to upload mitochondrial antioxidant (JP4‐039) onto a biocompatible nanofibrous PLGA scaffold, and the uploaded drug (JP4‐039) retains nitroxide antioxidant properties upon release from the scaffold, which in turn can reduce mitochondrial ROS and improve EC function in vitro.

Abstract
Electrospinning has emerged as most viable approach for the fabrication of nanofibers with several beneficial features that are essential to various applications ranging from environment to biomedicine. The electrospun nanofiber based drug delivery systems have shown tremendous advancements over the controlled and sustained release complemented from their high surface area, tunable porosity, mechanical endurance, offer compatible environment for drug encapsulation, biocompatibility, high drug loading and tailorable release characteristics. The dosage formulation of poorly water-soluble drugs often faces several challenges including complete dissolution with maximum therapeutic efficiency over a short period of time especially through oral administration. In this context, challenges associated with the dosage formulation of poorly-water soluble drugs can be addressed through combining the beneficial features of electrospun nanofibers. This review describes major developments progressed in the preparation of electrospun nanofibers based "fast dissolving" drug delivery systems by employing variety of polymers, drug molecules and encapsulation approaches with primary focus on oral delivery. Furthermore, the review also highlights current scientific challenges and provide an outlook with regard to future prospectus.

Abstract
The electrospinning of hydrocortisone/cyclodextrin complex nanofibers was performed in order to develop a fast-dissolving oral drug delivery system. Hydrocortisone is a water-insoluble hydrophobic drug, yet, the water solubility of hydrocortisone was significantly enhanced by inclusion complexation with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CyD). In this study, hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD complexes were prepared in aqueous solutions having molar ratios of 1/1, 1/1.5 and 1/2 (hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD). Highly concentrated aqueous solutions of HP-β-CyD (180%, w/v) were used for hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD systems (1/1, 1/1.5 and 1/2) in order to perform electrospinning without the use of an additional polymer matrix. The turbidity of hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD (1/1 and 1/1.5) aqueous solutions indicated the presence of some uncomplexed crystals of hydrocortisone whereas the aqueous solution of hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD (1/2) was homogeneous indicating that hydrocortisone becomes totally water-soluble by inclusion complexation with HP-β-CyD. Nonetheless, the electrospinning of hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD systems (1/1, 1/1.5 and 1/2) successfully yielded defect-free uniform nanofibrous structures. Moreover, the electrospinning process was quite efficient that hydrocortisone was completely preserved without any loss yielding hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD nanofibers having the initial molar ratios (1/1, 1/1.5 and 1/2). The structural and thermal characterization of the hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD nanofibers revealed that hydrocortisone was totally inclusion complexed with HP-β-CyD and was in the amorphous state in hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD (1/2) nanofibers whereas some uncomplexed crystalline hydrocortisone was present in hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD (1/1 and 1/1.5) nanofibers. Nevertheless, hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD (1/1, 1/1.5 and 1/2) complex aqueous systems were electrospun in the form of nanofibrous webs having a free-standing and flexible nature. The hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD (1/1, 1/1.5 and 1/2) nanofibrous webs have shown fast-dissolving behavior in water or when they were in contact with artificial saliva. Yet, the hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD (1/2) nanofibrous web dissolved more quickly than the hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD (1/1 and 1/1.5) nanofibrous webs due to the full inclusion complexation and the amorphous state of hydrocortisone in this sample. In short, the results suggest that polymer-free electrospun nanofibrous webs produced from hydrocortisone/HP-β-CyD could be quite applicable for fast-dissolving oral drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) often becomes resistant to targeted therapies, and in addition, dose-dependent toxicities limit the effectiveness of therapeutic agents. Therefore, identifying novel drug delivery approaches to achieve optimal dosing of therapeutic agents can be beneficial in managing toxicities and to attain optimal therapeutic effects. Previously, we have demonstrated that Honokiol, a natural compound with potent anti-tumorigenic and anti-inflammatory effects, can induce cancer cell apoptosis and inhibit the growth of renal tumors in vivo. In cancer treatment, implant-based drug delivery systems can be used for gradual and sustained delivery of therapeutic agents like Honokiol to minimize systemic toxicity. Electrospun polymeric fibrous scaffolds are ideal candidates to be used as drug implants due to their favorable morphological properties such as high surface to volume ratio, flexibility and ease of fabrication. In this study, we fabricated Honokiol-loaded Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) electrospun scaffolds; and evaluated their structural characterization and biological activity. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance data proved the existence of Honokiol in the drug loaded polymeric scaffolds. The release kinetics showed that only 24% of the loaded Honokiol were released in 24hr, suggesting that sustained delivery of Honokiol is feasible. We calculated the cumulative concentration of the Honokiol released from the scaffold in 24hr; and the extent of renal cancer cell apoptosis induced with the released Honokiol is similar to an equivalent concentration of direct application of Honokiol. Also, Honokiol-loaded scaffolds placed directly in renal cell culture inhibited renal cancer cell proliferation and migration. Together, we demonstrate that Honokiol delivered through electrospun PLGA-based scaffolds is effective in inhibiting the growth of renal cancer cells; and our data necessitates further in vivo studies to explore the potential of sustained release of therapeutic agents-loaded electrospun scaffolds in the treatment of RCC and other cancer types.

Abstract
In this study, the polymer-free electrospinning was performed in order to produce cyclodextrin/ibuprofen inclusion complex nanofibers, which could have potential as the fast dissolving oral drug delivery system. Ibuprofen is a poorly water-soluble nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug; however, the water solubility of ibuprofen can be significantly enhanced by inclusion complexation with cyclodextrins. Here, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPβCyD) was chosen both as a nanofiber matrix and host molecule for inclusion complexation in order to enhance water solubility and fast dissolution of ibuprofen. Ibuprofen was inclusion-complexed with HPβCyD in highly concentrated aqueous solutions of HPβCyD (200%, w/v) having two different molar ratios: 1:1 and 2:1 (HPβCyD/ibuprofen). The HPβCyD/ibuprofen-IC (1:1) aqueous solution was turbid having some undissolved/uncomplexed ibuprofen, whereas HPβCyD/ibuprofen-IC (2:1) aqueous solution was homogeneous and clear, indicating that ibuprofen was totally complexed with HPβCyD and becomes water soluble. Then, both HPβCyD/ibuprofen-IC solutions (1:1 and 2:1) were electrospun into bead-free and uniform nanofibers having ∼200 nm fiber diameter. The electrospun HPβCyD/ibuprofen-IC nanofibers were obtained as nanofibrous webs having self-standing and flexible character, which is appropriate for fast dissolving oral drug delivery systems. Ibuprofen was completely preserved during the electrospinning process, and the resulting electrospun HPβCyD/ibuprofen-IC nanofibers were produced without any loss of ibuprofen by preserving the initial molar ratio of 1:1 and 2:1 (HPβCyD/ibuprofen). X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry measurements indicated the presence of some crystalline ibuprofen in HPβCyD/ibuprofen-IC (1:1) nanofibers, whereas ibuprofen was totally in the amorphous state in HPβCyD/ibuprofen-IC (2:1) nanofibers. Nonetheless, both HPβCyD/ibuprofen-IC (1:1 and 2:1) nanofibrous webs have shown very fast dissolving character when contacted with water or when wetted with artificial saliva. In brief, our results revealed that electrospun HPβCyD/ibuprofen-IC nanofibrous webs have potential as fast dissolving oral drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV) and the ethanol extract of Angelica gigas Nakai (AGN Ex)-based nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using the nanocrystal concept. AGN/RSV NPs with 224 nm hydrodynamic size, unimodal size distribution, and negative zeta potential values were developed with the emulsification and solvent evaporation techniques. The crystalline properties of AGN Ex and RSV were transformed during the emulsification and solvent evaporation processes, thus, AGN NPs and AGN/RSV NPs exhibited amorphous states. AGN/RSV NPs held up their initial hydrodynamic size after 24 h of incubation in serum-included media. Sustained release profiles (for 5 days) of decursin (D) and decursinol angelate (DA) (the representative markers of AGN Ex) and RSV were observed at normal physiological pH (pH 7.4). In ovarian cancer (SKOV-3) cells, although AGN/RSV NPs showed a lower cellular entry rate rather than AGN NPs, the cellular accumulated amount of AGN/RSV NPs was similar with that of AGN NPs after 4 h of incubation. The antiproliferation efficiency of AGN/RSV NPs group was significantly higher than the AGN Ex, AGN NPs, and AGN NPs + RSV groups in SKOV-3 cells. AGN/RSV NPs can be one of the promising candidates for therapeutic nanoplatforms against ovarian cancers.

Abstract
Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) possesses a set of valuable biological properties: antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, etc. However, CAPE is poorly soluble in aqueous environment which is limiting its possible therapeutic applications. In the present study novel fibrous materials enhancing CAPE solubility and accelerating CAPE release were developed. The materials were prepared from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) by electrospinning and by electrospinning combined with dip-coating. The effects of the composition - without/with addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and of the design of fiber (CAPE in the bulk of the fiber or incorporated in the PVP coating) on some of the properties of these materials were studied. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry analyses revealed that CAPE was in the amorphous state in CAPE-loaded fibers and in the PVP coating. The new CAPE-containing materials exhibited good antioxidant activity. The microbiological screening demonstrated that incorporation of CAPE in the fibers or in the coating induced complete killing of Gram-positive S. aureus and led to inhibition of the growth of Gram-negative E. coli by the fibrous materials. Moreover, pathogenic S. aureus did not adhere onto CAPE-containing fibrous mats. Therefore, the obtained materials are promising candidates for use as wound dressing materials.

Abstract
This work deals with fast-dissolving drug delivery systems of meloxicam (MX) derived from electrospun polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) nanofiber mats. Electrospinning of solutions with different solvent systems [dimethylformamide (DMF) and ethyl alcohol (EtOH)] was performed. Prepared films were evaluated for morphology, physical, and mechanical properties. MX content, dissolving time, MX release, and cytotoxicity of films were investigated. In vivo studies were also performed in healthy human volunteers. The results showed that MX/HPβCD complexes improved the solubility of MX. PVP also increased MX solubility and the stability of MX/HPβCD complexes. Films were successfully prepared by two solvent systems with fiber in the nanometer range. MX was well incorporated into the films (100% efficiency). The X-ray patterns and DSC experiment indicated an amorphous form of MX. A fast disintegration time and burst release of MX was obtained from EtOH system. Cytotoxicity testing of the films produced by EtOH system proved safer than the DMF system. In vivo studies revealed that films rapidly dissolved in the mouth and had a less bitter taste than MX. These results suggest that electospun films from EtOH system may be a good candidate for fast-dissolving drug delivery systems to increase palatability of dosage forms.
