[PMID: 38978013 PMCID: PMC11229259 DOI: 10.1186/s12896-024-00874-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
The threat of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is increasing worldwide, making it significantly necessary to discover a novel way of dealing with related infections. The quick spread of MRSA isolates among infected individuals has heightened public health concerns and significantly limited treatment options. Vancomycin (VAN) can be applied to treat severe MRSA infections, and the indiscriminate administration of this antimicrobial agent has caused several concerns in medical settings. Owing to several advantageous characteristics, a niosomal drug delivery system may increase the potential of loaded antimicrobial agents. This work aims to examine the antibacterial and anti-biofilm properties of VAN-niosome against MRSA clinical isolates with emphasis on cytotoxicity and stability studies. Furthermore, we aim to suggest an effective approach against MRSA infections by investigating the inhibitory effect of formulated niosome on the expression of the biofilm-associated gene (icaR). The thin-film hydration approach was used to prepare the niosome (Tween 60, Span 60, and cholesterol), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), an in vitro drug release, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and entrapment efficiency (EE%) were used to investigate the physicochemical properties. The physical stability of VAN-niosome, including hydrodynamic size, polydispersity index (PDI), and EE%, was analyzed for a 30-day storage time at 4 °C and 25 °C. In addition, the human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) cell line was used to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of synthesized niosome. Moreover, minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations (MICs/MBCs) were applied to assess the antibacterial properties of niosomal VAN formulation. Also, the antibiofilm potential of VAN-niosome was investigated by microtiter plate (MTP) and real-time PCR methods. The FE-SEM result revealed that synthesized VAN-niosome had a spherical morphology. The hydrodynamic size and PDI of VAN-niosome reported by the DLS method were 201.2 nm and 0.301, respectively. Also, the surface zeta charge of the prepared niosome was - 35.4 mV, and the EE% ranged between 58.9 and 62.5%. Moreover, in vitro release study revealed a sustained-release profile for synthesized niosomal formulation. Our study showed that VAN-niosome had acceptable stability during a 30-day storage time. Additionally, the VAN-niosome had stronger antibacterial and anti-biofilm properties against MRSA clinical isolates compared with free VAN. In conclusion, the result of our study demonstrated that niosomal VAN could be promising as a successful drug delivery system due to sustained drug release, negligible toxicity, and high encapsulation capacity. Also, the antibacterial and anti-biofilm studies showed the high capacity of VAN-niosome against MRSA clinical isolates. Furthermore, the results of real-time PCR exhibited that VAN-niosome could be proposed as a powerful strategy against MRSA biofilm via down-regulation of icaR gene expression.

Abstract
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most prevalent form of leishmaniasis worldwide. Although various anti-leishmanial regimens have been considered, due to the lack of efficacy or occurrence of adverse reactions, design and development of novel topical delivery systems would be essential. This study aimed to prepare artemether (ART)-loaded niosomes and evaluate their anti-leishmanial effects against Leishmania major. ART-loaded niosomes were prepared through the thin-film hydration technique and characterized in terms of particle size, zeta potential, morphology, differential scanning calorimetry, drug loading, and drug release. Furthermore, anti-leishmanial effect of the preparation was assessed in vitro and in vivo. The prepared ART-loaded niosomes were spherical with an average diameter of about 100 and 300 nm with high encapsulation efficiencies of > 99%. The results of in vitro cytotoxicity revealed that ART-loaded niosomes had significantly higher anti-leishmanial activity, lower general toxicity, and higher selectivity index (SI). Half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of ART, ART-loaded niosomes, and liposomal amphotericin B were 39.09, 15.12, and 20 µg/mL, respectively. Also, according to the in vivo study results, ART-loaded niosomes with an average size of 300 nm showed the highest anti-leishmanial effects in animal studies. ART-loaded niosomes would be promising topical drug delivery system for the management of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defects has been a long-standing challenge in clinical practice. Among the various bone tissue engineering approaches, there has been substantial progress in the development of drug delivery systems based on functional drugs and appropriate carrier materials owing to technological advances in recent years. A large number of materials based on functional nanocarriers have been developed and applied to improve the complex osteogenic microenvironment, including for promoting osteogenic activity, inhibiting osteoclast activity, and exerting certain antibacterial effects. This Review discusses the physicochemical properties, drug loading mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages of nanoparticles (NPs) used for constructing drug delivery systems. In addition, we provide an overview of the osteogenic microenvironment regulation mechanism of drug delivery systems based on nanoparticle (NP) carriers and the construction strategies of drug delivery systems. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of NP carriers are summarized along with their prospects and future research trends in bone tissue engineering. This Review thus provides advanced strategies for the design and application of drug delivery systems based on NPs in the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Garcinia mangostana extract (GME) has severe pharmacokinetic deficiencies and is made up of a variety of bioactive components. GME has proven its anti-Acanthamoeba effectiveness. In this investigation, a GME-loaded niosome was developed to increase its potential therapeutic efficacy. A GME-loaded niosome was prepared by encapsulation in a mixture of span60, cholesterol, and chloroform by the thin film hydration method. The vesicle size, zeta potential, percentage of entrapment efficiency, and stability of GME-loaded niosomes were investigated. The values for GME-loaded niosome size and zeta potential were 404.23 ± 4.59 and -32.03 ± 0.95, respectively. The delivery system enhanced the anti-Acanthamoeba activity, which possessed MIC values of 0.25-4 mg mL-1. In addition, the niosomal formulation decreased the toxicity of GME by 16 times. GME-loaded niosome must be stored at 4 °C, as the quantity of remaining GME encapsulated is greater at this temperature than at room temperature. SEM revealed the damage to the cell membrane caused by trophozoites and cysts, which led to dead cells. In light of the above, it was found that GME-loaded niosomes had better anti-Acanthamoeba activity. The study suggested that GME-loaded niosomes could be used as an alternative to Acanthamoeba's therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Smart polypropylene (PP) hernia meshes were proposed to detect surgical infections and to regulate cell attachment-modulated properties. For this purpose, lightweight and midweight meshes were modified by applying a plasma treatment for subsequent grafting of a thermosensitive hydrogel, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm). However, both the physical treatment with plasma and the chemical processes required for the covalent incorporation of PNIPAAm can modify the mechanical properties of the mesh and thus have an influence in hernia repair procedures. In this work, the mechanical performance of plasma-treated and hydrogel-grafted meshes preheated at 37 °C has been compared with standard meshes using bursting and the suture pull out tests. Furthermore, the influence of the mesh architecture, the amount of grafted hydrogel, and the sterilization process on such properties have been examined. Results reveal that although the plasma treatment reduces the bursting and suture pull out forces, the thermosensitive hydrogel improves the mechanical resistance of the meshes. Moreover, the mechanical performance of the meshes coated with the PNIPAAm hydrogel is not influenced by ethylene oxide gas sterilization. Micrographs of the broken meshes evidence the role of the hydrogel as reinforcing coating for the PP filaments. Overall, results confirm that the modification of PP medical textiles with a biocompatible thermosensitive hydrogel do not affect, and even improve, the mechanical requirements necessary for the implantation of these prostheses in vivo.

Abstract
As the clinical complications induced by microbial infections are known to have life-threatening side effects, conventional anti-infective therapy is necessary, but not sufficient to overcome these issues. Some of their limitations are connected to drug-related inefficiency or resistance and pathogen-related adaptive modifications. Therefore, there is an urgent need for advanced antimicrobials and antimicrobial devices. A challenging, yet successful route has been the development of new biostatic or biocide agents and biomaterials by considering the indisputable advantages of biopolymers. Polymers are attractive materials due to their physical and chemical properties, such as compositional and structural versatility, tunable reactivity, solubility and degradability, and mechanical and chemical tunability, together with their intrinsic biocompatibility and bioactivity, thus enabling the fabrication of effective pharmacologically active antimicrobial formulations. Besides representing protective or potentiating carriers for conventional drugs, biopolymers possess an impressive ability for conjugation or functionalization. These aspects are key for avoiding malicious side effects or providing targeted and triggered drug delivery (specific and selective cellular targeting), and generally to define their pharmacological efficacy. Moreover, biopolymers can be processed in different forms (particles, fibers, films, membranes, or scaffolds), which prove excellent candidates for modern anti-infective applications. This review contains an overview of antimicrobial polyester-based formulations, centered around the effect of the dimensionality over the properties of the material and the effect of the production route or post-processing actions.

Abstract
Hydrocephalus is a neurological disease caused by an unusually high level of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which can be relieved by external ventricular drainage (EVD) insertion. However, the infection can lead to complications during the use of EVD. In this study, EVD was impregnated with three synergistic antibiotics, including rifampicin, clindamycin, and trimethoprim, to improve the antibacterial property. The impregnated drainage was studied for its characteristics in vitro and in vivo. Drug loading determination revealed that rifampicin had the highest concentration in the tube, followed by clindamycin and trimethoprim, respectively. In vitro cytotoxicity and hemolytic studies showed no toxic effects from antibiotics-impregnated EVD on fibroblast and red blood cells. For antibacterial testing, the impregnated EVD exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus MRSA and Staphylococcus epidermidis up to 14 and 90 days, respectively. Moreover, biocompatibility and drug release into the bloodstream and surrounding tissues were investigated by implantation in rabbits for 30 days. Histology and morphology results showed that fibroblast cells began to adhere to the drainage surface and inflammatory cell numbers were noticeably small after the long-term implantation. In addition, there was no drug leakage to the bloodstream and surrounding tissues. Hence, this impregnated EVD can potentially be used for antibacterial application.

Abstract
Most modern wound dressings assist the wound-healing process. In contrast, conventional wound dressings have limited antibacterial activity and promote sporadic fibroblast growth. Therefore, wound dressings with prolonged substance release must be improved. This research aimed to develop hydrogel films. These were synthesized from alginate and pectin, incorporated with mangosteen extract (ME), and encapsulated in niosomes (ME-loaded niosomes). Subsequently, we examined the in vitro release and physical characteristics of ME-loaded niosomes. These characteristics included particle pH, size, charge, polydispersity index (PDI), and drug loading properties. These properties included drug loading content (DLC), entrapment efficiency (EE), and yield (Y). Additionally, we examined the swelling ratio and biological characteristics of the hydrogel film. These characteristics included antibacterial activity, cytotoxicity (L929), cell attachment to the tested materials, cell migration, hemocompatibility, and in vivo irritation. Significant results were obtained using a 2:1 niosome preparation containing Span60 and cholesterol. Ratio influenced size, charge, PDI, DLC, EE, and Y. The results were 225.5 ± 5.83 nm, negatively charged, 0.38, 16.2 ± 0.87%, 64.8 ± 3.49%, and 87.3 ± 3.09%, respectively. Additionally, the release of encapsulated ME was pH sensitive because 85% of the ME can be released at a pH of 5.5 within seven days and decrease to 70% at a pH of 7.4. The maximum swelling ratios of patches with 0.5% and 1% Ca2+ crosslinking were 867 wt% and 1,025 wt%, respectively, after 30 min. These results suggested that a medium dose (15 mg) of niosomal ME incorporated in a hydrogel film provided better bacterial inhibition, cell migration, and cell adhesion in an in vitro model. Additionally, no toxicity was observed in the fibroblasts and red blood cells. Therefore, given the above-mentioned advantages, this product can be a promising candidate for wound dressing applications.

Abstract
Topical drug delivery presents a novel substitute to the conventional drug-distribution routes of oral delivery and injection. Apart from the simplicity and non-invasiveness, the skin also serves as a “reservoir” that sustains administration over a period of days. Nanocarriers provide new potential for the treatment of skin disease. The skin’s barrier function offers a considerable obstacle for the potential nanocarriers to infiltrate into the tissue. However, the barrier is partially weakened in case of damage or inflammation, as in the case of skin cancer. Nanoparticles may promote the penetration of the skin. Extensive research has been done into producing nanoparticles for topical distribution; nevertheless, relatively little progress has been achieved in transferring them to the clinic for treating skin malignancies. The prior art features the critical concepts of skin malignancies and techniques in current clinical care. The present review gives a complete viewpoint of the numerous nanoparticle technologies studied for the topical treatment of skin malignancies and outlines the hurdles that hamper its advancement from the bench to the bedside. The review also intends to give knowledge of the routes that control nanoparticle penetration into the skin and their interactions inside the tissue.

Thamvasupong P, Viravaidya-Pasuwat K. Controlled Release Mechanism of Vancomycin from Double-Layer Poly-L-Lactic Acid-Coated Implants for Prevention of Bacterial Infection. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:3493. [PMID: 36080569 PMCID: PMC9460839 DOI: 10.3390/polym14173493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Implantation failure due to bacterial infection incurs significant medical expenditure annually, and treatment tends to be complicated. This study proposes a method to prevent bacterial infection in implants using an antibiotic delivery system consisting of vancomycin loaded into poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) matrices. A thin layer of this antibiotic-containing polymer was formed on stainless steel surfaces using a simple dip-coating method. SEM images of the polymeric layer revealed a honeycomb structure of the PLLA network with the entrapment of vancomycin molecules inside. In the in vitro release study, a rapid burst release was observed, followed by a sustained release of vancomycin for approximately 3 days. To extend the release time, a drug-free topcoat of PLLA was introduced to provide a diffusion resistance layer. As expected, the formulation with the drug-free topcoat exhibited a significant extension of the release time to approximately three weeks. Furthermore, the bonding strength between the double-layer polymer and the stainless steel substrate, which was an important property reflecting the quality of the coating, significantly increased compared to that of the single layer to the level that met the requirement for medical coating applications. The release profile of vancomycin from the double-layer PLLA film was best fitted with the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, indicating a combination of Fickian diffusion-controlled release and a polymer relaxation mechanism. More importantly, the double-layer vancomycin-PLLA coating exhibited antibacterial activity against S. aureus, as confirmed by the agar diffusion assay, the bacterial survival assay, and the inhibition of bacterial surface colonization without being toxic to normal cells (L929). Our results showed that the proposed antibiotic delivery system using the double-layer PLLA coating is a promising solution to prevent bacterial infection that may occur after orthopedic implantation.

Abstract
The unprecedented aging of the world's population will boost the need for orthopedic implants and expose their current limitations to a greater extent due to the medical complexity of elderly patients and longer indwelling times of the implanted materials. Biocompatible metals with multifunctional bioactive coatings promise to provide the means for the controlled and tailorable release of different medications for patient-specific treatment while prolonging the material's lifespan and thus improving the surgical outcome. The objective of this work is to provide a review of several groups of biocompatible materials that might be utilized as constituents for the development of multifunctional bioactive coatings on metal materials with a focus on antimicrobial, pain-relieving, and anticoagulant properties. Moreover, the review presents a summary of medications used in clinical settings, the disadvantages of the commercially available products, and insight into the latest development strategies. For a more successful translation of such research into clinical practice, extensive knowledge of the chemical interactions between the components and a detailed understanding of the properties and mechanisms of biological matter are required. Moreover, the cost-efficiency of the surface treatment should be considered in the development process.

Abstract
![]()
Combination chemotherapy
has become a treatment modality for breast
cancer. However, serious side effects and high cytotoxicity associated
with this combination therapy make it a high-risk method for breast
cancer treatment. This study evaluated the anticancer effect of decorated
niosomal nanocarriers loaded with cisplatin (CIS) and epirubicin (EPI) in vitro (on SKBR3 and 4T1 breast cancer cells) and in vivo on BALB/c mice. For this purpose, polyethylene glycol
(PEG) and folic acid (FA) were employed to prepare a functionalized
niosomal system to improve endocytosis. FA-PEGylated niosomes exhibited
desired encapsulation efficiencies of ∼91.2 and 71.9% for CIS
and EPI, respectively. Moreover, cellular assays disclosed that a
CIS and EPI-loaded niosome (NCE) and FA-PEGylated niosomal CIS and
EPI (FPNCE) enhanced the apoptosis rate and cell migration in SKBR3
and 4T1 cells compared to CIS, EPI, and their combination (CIS+EPI).
For FPNCE and NCE groups, the expression levels of Bax, Caspase3, Caspase9, and Mfn1 genes increased, whereas the expression of Bcl2, Drp1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 genes was downregulated. Histopathology results showed
a reduction in the mitosis index, invasion, and pleomorphism in BALB/c
inbred mice with NCE and FPNCE treatment. In this paper, for the first
time, we report a niosomal nanocarrier functionalized with PEG and
FA for codelivery of CIS and EPI to treat breast cancer. The results
demonstrated that the codelivery of CIS and EPI through FA-PEGylated
niosomes holds great potential for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
The emergence of clinical complications and therapeutic challenges for treating various diseases necessitate the discovery of novel restorative functional materials. Polymer-based drug delivery systems have been extensively reported in the last two decades. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the progression of natural biopolymers based controlled therapeutic strategies, especially in drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. However, the solubility and functionalisation due to their complex network structure and intramolecular bonding seem challenging. This review explores the current advancement and prospects of the most promising natural polymers such as cellulose, starch and their derivatives-based drug delivery vehicles like hydrogels, films and composites, in combating major ailments such as bone infections, microbial infections, and cancers. In addition, selective drug targeting using metal-drug (MD) and MD-based polymeric missiles have been exciting but challenging for its application in cancer therapeutics. Owing to high biocompatibility of starch and cellulose, these materials have been extensively evaluated in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. This review presents a detailed impression of the current trends for the construction of biopolymer-based tissue engineering, drug/gene/protein delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Osteoconductive and osteoinductive coatings represent attractive and tunable strategies towards the enhanced biomechanics and osseointegration of metallic implants, providing accurate local modulation of bone-to-implant interface. Composite materials based on polylactide (PLA) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) are proved beneficial substrates for the modulation of bone cells' development, being suitable mechanical supports for the repair and regeneration of bone tissue. Moreover, the addition of osteogenic proteins represents the next step towards the fabrication of advanced biomaterials for hard tissue engineering applications, as their regulatory mechanisms beneficially contribute to the new bone formation. In this respect, laser-processed composites, based on PLA, Hap, and bone morphogenetic protein 4(BMP4), are herein proposed as bioactive coatings for metallic implants. The nanostructured coatings proved superior ability to promote the adhesion, viability, and proliferation of osteoprogenitor cells, without affecting their normal development and further sustaining the osteogenic differentiation of the cells. Our results are complementary to previous studies regarding the successful use of chemically BMP-modified biomaterials in orthopedic and orthodontic applications.

Abstract
Environmental problems, such as global warming and plastic pollution have forced researchers to investigate alternatives for conventional plastics. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA), one of the well-known eco-friendly biodegradables and biobased polyesters, has been studied extensively and is considered to be a promising substitute to petroleum-based polymers. This review gives an inclusive overview of the current research of lactic acid and lactide dimer techniques along with the production of PLA from its monomers. Melt polycondensation as well as ring opening polymerization techniques are discussed, and the effect of various catalysts and polymerization conditions is thoroughly presented. Reaction mechanisms are also reviewed. However, due to the competitive decomposition reactions, in the most cases low or medium molecular weight (MW) of PLA, not exceeding 20,000-50,000 g/mol, are prepared. For this reason, additional procedures such as solid state polycondensation (SSP) and chain extension (CE) reaching MW ranging from 80,000 up to 250,000 g/mol are extensively investigated here. Lastly, numerous practical applications of PLA in various fields of industry, technical challenges and limitations of PLA use as well as its future perspectives are also reported in this review.

Abstract
Over the years, there has been an increasing number of cardiac and orthopaedic implanted medical devices, which has caused an increased incidence of device-associated infections. The surfaces of these indwelling devices are preferred sites for the development of biofilms that are potentially lethal for patients. Device-related infections form a large proportion of hospital-acquired infections and have a bearing on both morbidity and mortality. Treatment of these infections is limited to the use of systemic antibiotics with invasive revision surgeries, which had implications on healthcare burdens. The purpose of this review is to describe the main causes that lead to the onset of infection, highlighting both the biological and clinical pathophysiology. Both passive and active surface treatments have been used in the field of biomaterials to reduce the impact of these infections. This includes the use of antimicrobial peptides and ionic liquids in the preventive treatment of antibiotic-resistant biofilms. Thus far, multiple in vivo studies have shown efficacious effects against the antibiotic-resistant biofilm. However, this has yet to materialize in clinical medicine.

Abstract
This study presents the development and characterisation of two novel bioactive coatings deposited on TiAlV and AISI 316LVM substrates. The coatings were prepared using 3D printing and electrospinning. The 3D-printed coating consisted of the cellulose nanofibril suspension, alginate, and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), while CMC and polyethylene oxide were used to prepare the electrospun coating. Both coatings were loaded with the antibiotic clindamycin (CLIN), which is a bacteriostatic lincosamide known for its activity against streptococci, staphylococci, pneumococci, Bacteroides species, and other anaerobes. Initial characterisation of the coatings was performed by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Furthermore, the contact angle measurements, swelling rate, and biodegradability of the coatings were investigated. The released concentration of CLIN in PBS (pH = 7.4 at 25 °C) was determined by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. The coatings’ biocompatibility was determined using an MTT (3(4,5 dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay using an osteoblast cell culture (hFOB 1.19, ATCC CRL 11372).

Abstract
Abstract
Purposes
Reactive oxygen species production is harmful to human’s health. The presence of antioxidants in the body may help to diminish reactive oxygen species. Trans-ferulic acid is a good antioxidant, but its low water solubility excludes its utilization. The study aims to explore whether a vesicular drug delivery could be a way to overcome the poor absorption of trans-ferulic acid hence improving its antimicrobial efficiency and antioxidant effect.
Methods
Niosomal vesicles containing the drug were prepared by film hydration method. The obtained vesicles were investigated in terms of morphology, size, entrapment efficiency, release behavior, cellular cytotoxicity, antioxidant, cellular protection study, and antimicrobial evaluations.
Results
The optimized niosomal formulation had a particle size of 158.7 nm and entrapment efficiency of 21.64%. The results showed that the optimized formulation containing 25 μM of trans-ferulic acid could enhance the viability of human foreskin fibroblast HFF cell line against reactive oxygen species production. The minimum effective dose of the plain drug and the niosomal formulation against Staphylococcus aurous (ATCC 29213) was 750 µg/mL and 375 µg/mL, respectively, and for Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), it was 750 µg/mL and 187/5 µg/mL, respectively. The formulation could also improve the minimum bactericidal concentration of the drug in Staphylococcus aurous, Escherichia coli, and Acinobacter baumannii (ATCC 19606).
Conclusion
These results revealed an improvement in both antibacterial and antioxidant effects of the drug in the niosomal formulation.

Drug-zein@lipid hybrid nanoparticles: Electrospraying preparation and drug extended release application. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 201:111629. [PMID: 33639514 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2021.111629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2020] [Revised: 01/30/2021] [Accepted: 02/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The reasonable selection and elaborate conversion of raw materials into desired functional products represent a main topic in modern material engineering. In this study, zein (a plant protein) and lipids (extracted from egg yolk) are converted into a new type of drug-polymer@lipid hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) via modified coaxial electrospraying. Tamoxifen citrate (TC) is used as a model anticancer drug to prepare TC-zein monolithic nanocomposites (MNCs) via traditional blended electrospraying; these MNCs are then used for comparison. Modified coaxial electrospraying is a continuous and robust process for the preparation of solid particles because of the action of unsolidifiable shell lipid solutions. HNPs have a round morphology with clear core-shell nanostructures, whereas MNCs have an indented flat morphology. Although both hold the drug in an amorphous state because of the fine compatibility of TC and zein, HNPs demonstrate a better sustained release of TC compared with MNCs in terms of retarding initial burst release (6.7 %±2.9 % vs. 37.2 %±4.3 %) and prolonged linear release period (20.47 h vs. 4.97 h for releasing 90 % of the loaded drug). Mechanisms by which the shell's lipid layer adjusts the release behavior of TC molecules are proposed. The present protocol based on coaxial electrospraying shows a new strategy of combining edible protein and lipids to fabricate advanced functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence of nosocomial infections and the emergence of new bacterial strands calls for the development of antibacterial coatings with localized antibacterial action that are capable of facing the challenges posed by increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics. The Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technique, based on the alternating assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, can be applied for the non-covalent modification of multiple substrates, including medical implants. Polyelectrolyte multilayers fabricated by the LbL technique have been extensively researched for the development of antibacterial coatings as they can be loaded with antibiotics, antibacterial peptides, nanoparticles with bactericide action, in addition to being capable of restricting adhesion of bacteria to surfaces. In this review, the different approaches that apply LbL for antibacterial coatings, emphasizing those that can be applied for implant modification are presented.

Abstract
Purpose Osteomyelitis, particularly chronic osteomyelitis, remains a major challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The traditional treatment for osteomyelitis, which involves antibiotics and debridement, does not provide a complete solution for infection and bone repair. Antibiotics such as vancomycin (VCM) are commonly used to treat osteomyelitis in clinical settings. VCM use is limited by a lack of effective delivery methods that provide sustained, high doses to entirely fill irregular bone tissue to treat infections. Methods We engineered a chitosan (CS)-based thermosensitive hydrogel to produce a VCM-nanoparticle (NPs)/Gel local drug delivery system. The VCM-NPs were formed with quaternary ammonium chitosan and carboxylated chitosan nanoparticles (VCM-NPs) by positive and negative charge adsorption to enhance the encapsulation efficiency and drug loading of VCM, with the aim of simultaneously preventing infection and repairing broken bones. This hydrogel was evaluated in a rabbit osteomyelitis model. Results The VCM-NPs had high encapsulation efficiency and drug loading, with values of 60.1±2.1% and 24.1±0.84%, respectively. When embedded in CS-Gel, the VCM-NPs maintained their particle size and morphology, and the injectability and thermosensitivity of the hydrogel, which were evaluated by injectability test and rheological measurement, were retained. The VCM-NPs/Gel exhibited sustained release of VCM over 26 days. In vitro tests revealed that the VCM-NPs/Gel promoted osteoblast proliferation and activity against Staphylococcus aureus. In vivo, VCM-NPs/Gel (with 10 mg vancomycin per rabbit) was used to treat rabbits with osteomyelitis. The VCM-NPs/Gel showed excellent anti-infection properties and accelerating bone repair under osteomyelitis conditions. Conclusion The reported multifunctional NPs hydrogel system for local antibiotic delivery (VCM-NPs/Gel) showed bone regeneration promotion and anti-infection properties, demonstrating significant potential as a scaffold for effective treatment of osteomyelitis.

Abstract
In 2020, the world is being ravaged by the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes a severe respiratory disease, Covid-19. Hundreds of thousands of people have succumbed to the disease. Efforts at curing the disease are aimed at finding a vaccine and/or developing antiviral drugs. Despite these efforts, the WHO warned that the virus might never be eradicated. Countries around the world have instated non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing and wearing of masks in public to curb the spreading of the disease. Antiviral polysaccharides provide the ideal opportunity to combat the pathogen via pharmacotherapeutic applications. However, a layer-by-layer nanocoating approach is also envisioned to coat surfaces to which humans are exposed that could harbor pathogenic coronaviruses. By coating masks, clothing, and work surfaces in wet markets among others, these antiviral polysaccharides can ensure passive prevention of the spreading of the virus. It poses a so-called "eradicate-in-place" measure against the virus. Antiviral polysaccharides also provide a green chemistry pathway to virus eradication since these molecules are primarily of biological origin and can be modified by minimal synthetic approaches. They are biocompatible as well as biodegradable. This surface passivation approach could provide a powerful measure against the spreading of coronaviruses.

Abstract
Surface modification of titanium implants by siRNA is quite efficient for improving implant osseointegration. Loading siRNA onto their surface is a crucial factor for siRNA-functionalized implants to realize their biological function. Direct binding of siRNA to implants has low siRNA binding and releasing rate, so usually it needs to be mediated by vectors. Polymeric, nonmaterial-mediated and lipid-based vectors are types of non-viral vectors which are commonly used for delivering siRNA. Three major methods of loading process, namely simple physical adsorption, layer-by-layer assembly and electrodeposition, are also summarized. A brief introduction, the basic principle and the general procedure of each method are included. The loading efficiency, which can be measured both qualitatively and quantitatively, together with gene knockdown efficiency, cytotoxicity assay and osteogenesis of the three methods are compared. A good many applications in osteogenesis have also been described in this review.

Abstract
To obtain a healthy human being with beneficial microflora against different pathogenic infections, classical antibiotics with nanosized biomaterials were used to inhibit the growth of bacterium by their potent synergistic effect. Hence, this study planned to load an oxazolidinone antibiotic named linezolid (LD) onto functionalized chitosan (CN) with 3, 5- dinitrosalyslic acid (DA) via microwave synthesis without harsh condition. The exploring synergistic effect of linezolid (LD) with CN/DA controllable nanostructure was compact efflux-mediated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) burden and other selected bactericide Gram-positive ((S. aureus), Gram-negative (E. coli), Fungi (C. albicans), Yeast (A. niger), and E. faecalis. The obtained results showed that LD was incorporated into both the internal and external surface of the aggregated CN/DA nanosystem with an average diameter of 150 nm ± 4 hints of the drug loading. Owing to the nature of functionalized CN, the release efficiency attains 98.4% within 100 min. The designed LD@CN/DA exhibited inhibition zone 54 mm, 59 mm, 69 mm, 54 mm, 57 mm, and 24 mm against the tested microbes respectively rather than individual LD. The major target of the current research is achieved by using LD@CN/DA as a nanoantibiotic system that has exceptional consistently active against multi-resistant pathogens, in between MRSA which resist LD. Also, cell viability was performed even after three days of direct cell culture on the surface of the designed nanoantibiotic. The mechanism of microbial inhibition was correlated and rationalized to different charges and the presence of oxygen species against microbial infections. Our findings provide a deep explanation about nanostructured antibiotics design with enhanced potentially pathogen-specific activity.

Abstract
The development of novel materials is necessary for adequate delivery of drugs to combat the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) burden due to the limitations of conventional methods and challenges associated with antimicrobial resistance. Hence, this study aimed to synthesise a novel oleylamine based zwitterionic lipid (OLA) and explore its potential to formulate chitosan-based pH-responsive lipid-polymer hybrid nanovesicles (VM-OLA-LPHVs1) to deliver VM against MRSA. The OLA was synthesised, and the structure characterised by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR and HR-MS. The preliminary biocompatibility of OLA and VM-OLA-LPHVs1 was evaluated on HEK-293, A-549, MCF-7 and HepG-2 cell lines using in vitro cytotoxicity assay. The VM-OLA-LPHVs1 were formulated by ionic gelation method and characterised in order to determine the hydrodynamic diameter (DH), morphology in vitro and in vivo antibacterial efficacy. The result of the in vitro cytotoxicity study revealed cell viability of above 75% in all cell lines when exposed to OLA and VM-OLA-LPHVs1, thus indicating their biosafety. The VM-OLA-LPHVs1 had a DH, polydispersity index (PDI), and EE% of 198.0 ± 14.04 nm, 0.137 ± 0.02, and 45.61 ± 0.54% respectively at physiological pH, with surface-charge (ζ) switching from negative at pH 7.4 to positive at pH 6.0. The VM release from the VM-OLA-LPHVs1 was faster at pH 6.0 compared to physiological pH, with 97% release after 72-h. The VM-OLA-LPHVs1 had a lower minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.59 μg/mL at pH 6.0 compared to 2.39 μg/mL at pH 7.4, against MRSA with 52.9-fold antibacterial enhancement. The flow cytometry study revealed that VM-OLA-LPHVs1 had similar bactericidal efficacy on MRSA compared to bare VM, despite an 8-fold lower VM concentration in the nanovesicles. Additionally, fluorescence microscopy study showed the ability of the VM-OLA-LPHVs1 to eliminate biofilms. The electrical conductivity, and protein/DNA concentration, increased and decreased respectively, as compared to bare VM which indicated greater MRSA membrane damage. The in vivo studies in a BALB/c mouse-infected skin model treated with VM-OLA-LPHVs1 revealed 95-fold lower MRSA burden compared to the group treated with bare VM. These findings suggest that OLA can be used as an effective novel material for complexation with biodegradable polymer chitosan (CHs) to form pH-responsive VM-OLA-LPHVs1 nanovesicles which show greater potential for enhancement and improvement of treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract
In this study, optimized cephalexin-loaded niosomal formulations based on span 60 and tween 60 were prepared as a promising drug carrier system. The niosomal formulations were characterized using a series of techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential measurement. The size and drug encapsulation efficiency are determined by the type and composition of surfactant. The developed niosomal formulations showed great storage stability up to 30 days with low change in size and drug entrapment during the storage, making them potential candidates for real applications. Moreover, the prepared niosomes showed negligible cytotoxicity for HepG2 cells, measured by MTT assay. The antibacterial properties of cephalexin-loaded niosome were investigated using S. aureus and E. coli as gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, respectively. The results showed that the encapsulation of antibiotic drug in niosomal formulation could enhance the antibacterial efficiency of the drug, where the minimum inhibitory concentration was droped from 8 µg/mL (cephalexin) to 4 µg/mL (cephalexin-loaded niosome) and from 4 µg/mL (cephalexin) to 1 µg/mL (cephalexin-loaded niosome) against E. coli and S. aureus, respectively. The findings of our study show that the improvement of cephalexin bioavailability and prolonged drug release profile could be obtained by niosomal formulation as a favorable antibiotic drug delivery system.

Abstract
Bone-related diseases seriously threaten people's health and research studies have been dedicated towards searching for new and effective treatment methods. Nanotechnologies have opened up a new field in recent decades and nanostructured materials, which exist in a variety of forms, are considered to be promising materials in this field. This article reviews the most recent progress in the development of nanostructured materials for bone-related diseases, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, bone metastasis, osteomyelitis, myeloma, and bone defects. We highlight the advantages and functions of nanostructured materials, including sustained release, bone targeting, scaffolding in bone tissue engineering, etc., in bone-related diseases. We also include the remaining challenges of these emerging materials.

Abstract
In this study, chlorhexidine-loaded poly(ε-caprolactone) nanospheres (CHX-NS) were prepared and successfully coated on the urinary catheters. Properties of CHX-NS were evaluated including drug loading content and the nanosphere size. Effects of different lyoprotectants for long-term storage of CHX-NS were also investigated. In vitro release study and antibacterial activity were also conducted using 20 cycles coated-urinary catheters. Results showed that the high-pressure emulsification-solvent evaporation technique provided the drug loading content at 1.14 ± 0.16% and the size of nanospheres was 152 ± 37 nm. The suitable lyoprotectant for long-term storage of CHX-NS was sucrose which provided noticeably no aggregation at the degree of reconstitution at 89.95%. The amount of CHX loading on coated catheters was at 4.55 ± 0.31 mg. Drug release from the coated catheters in artificial urine could be prolonged up to 2 weeks and bacteria proliferation was inhibited up to 14 days. These results suggest that the antimicrobial activity of CHX-NS reduces the adherence of the uropathogens to the catheter surface. Chlorhexidine-loaded polymeric nanospheres were fabricated which can be successfully coated on urinary catheters. These systems have potential use for prolonged antimicrobial applications.
