Morais RP, de Oliveira CC, Riegel-Vidotti IC, Marino CEB. pH stimulus-responsive hybrid nanoparticles: A system designed for follicular delivery of brazilian plant-derived 5-alpha-reductase enzyme inhibitors. Int J Pharm 2024; 650:123689. [PMID: 38072149 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123689] [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: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
The 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, present in pilosebaceous units, plays a crucial role in the appearance of cutaneous hyperandrogenism manifestations (hirsutism, acne, and androgenetic alopecia). Its inhibition is an excellent strategy to reverse these conditions. Given the limitations of existing treatments, with transient effects and delayed therapeutic response, as well as the possibility of causing undesirable side effects, this study sought to develop new drug delivery systems to overcome these limitations. In other words, innovative stimuli-responsive hybrid nanoparticles were synthesized using silica/natural polysaccharides, encapsulating 5-alpha-reductase enzyme inhibitors derived from the plant Stryphnodendron adstringens (Mart.) Coville (commonly known as 'Barbatimão'). Silica core was synthesized by the modified Stöber method. The pH responsive polysaccharides used to coat the porous silica cores were chitosan, and sodium alginate, this coating was carried out using the Layer-by-Layer technique. The hybrid nanoparticles were characterized at molecular and physical-chemical levels. Furthermore, encapsulation efficiency, pH-dependent release behavior, and cytotoxicity were evaluated. Amorphous mesoporous structure with adequate size for follicular delivery (between 300 and 600 nm) in addition to effective phytocompound loading capacity, above 80 % was obtained. Based on the release studies, it was possible to observe pH responsiveness. The ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) obtained from "Barbatimão" bark extract was released in a controlled and more efficient manner by the alginate-coated nanoparticle (SNP_EAF_SA) at pH 7.4, which corresponds to the pH at the deepest area of hair follicles. Furthermore, SNP_EAF_SA proved to be less cytotoxic compared to EAF and chitosan-coated hybrid nanoparticles (SNP_EAF_CH). Characterization, release, and cytotoxicity results indicate that SNP_EAF_SA is a promising system for on-demand follicular delivery of antiandrogenic actives contained in EAF.

[PMID: 37923235 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2023.108277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
With the thrive of nanotechnology, silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been extensively adopted in the agriculture, food, cosmetic, and even biomedical industries. Due to the mass production and use, SiNPs inevitably entered the environment, resulting in ecological toxicity and even posing a threat to human health. Although considerable investigations have been conducted to assess the toxicity of SiNPs, the correlation between SiNPs exposure and consequent health risks remains ambiguous. Since the biological impacts of SiNPs can differ from their design and application, the toxicity assessment for SiNPs may be extremely difficult. This review discussed the application of SiNPs in different fields, especially their biomedical use, and documented their potential release pathways into the environment. Meanwhile, the current process of assessing SiNPs-related toxicity on various model organisms and cell lines was also detailed, thus estimating the health threats posed by SiNPs exposure. Finally, the potential toxic mechanisms of SiNPs were also elaborated based on results obtained from both in vivo and in vitro trials. This review generally summarizes the biological effects of SiNPs, which will build up a comprehensive perspective of the application and toxicity of SiNPs.

Biocompatible nanoscale silica particles fabricated from aminopropyltriethoxysilane functionalized brick ash induced versatile pesticidal activity. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 238:117090. [PMID: 37683791 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
The present study is aimed to evaluate pesticidal activity and biocompatibility including ecotoxicity of functionalized silica nanoparticles that synthesized by simple, in vitro, green technology principles. Sol-gel method was adopted for the synthesis of silica nanoparticles and was functionalized by Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), characterized and confirmed the uniform, monodispersive, highly stable particles with the size range of 10-200 nm. The synthesized Nano silica was screened against the developmental stages of Spodoptera litura. Pesticidal study revealed that the functionalized nanoparticles were effective against all the life stages of the insect by recording high mortality and the drastic reduction in the larval, pupae, adult emergence, and adult longevity stages. The ecotoxic effect of synthesized nano-silica was tested on soil parameters, growth parameters of Arachis hypogaea, and compatibility with Trichoderma viride. This study revealed there was no toxic effect on soil, growth parameters of Arachis hypogaea, and most significantly the growth of Trichoderma viride was not inhibited. A biocompatibility study was done by using Zebrafish and Rabbit model. The study divulges there was no toxic effect on all the developmental stages of the Embryo. Further, the nanoparticles did not exhibit any dermatotoxicological effect which confirmed no signs and symptoms of inflammation. Nano-silica emerges as a promising eco-friendly and non-toxic substitute for conventional insecticides. Its utilization has the potential to augment both environmental preservation and economic prosperity on a national scale. Furthermore, the integration of silica-based nanoparticles with biocidal agents demonstrates notable biocompatibility and the capacity to hinder bacterial adhesion.

Drug Delivery through Epidermal Tissue Cells by Functionalized Biosilica from Diatom Microalgae. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:438. [PMID: 37623719 PMCID: PMC10456091 DOI: 10.3390/md21080438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Diatom microalgae are a natural source of fossil biosilica shells, namely the diatomaceous earth (DE), abundantly available at low cost. High surface area, mesoporosity and biocompatibility, as well as the availability of a variety of approaches for surface chemical modification, make DE highly profitable as a nanostructured material for drug delivery applications. Despite this, the studies reported so far in the literature are generally limited to the development of biohybrid systems for drug delivery by oral or parenteral administration. Here we demonstrate the suitability of diatomaceous earth properly functionalized on the surface with n-octyl chains as an efficient system for local drug delivery to skin tissues. Naproxen was selected as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory model drug for experiments performed both in vitro by immersion of the drug-loaded DE in an artificial sweat solution and, for the first time, by trans-epidermal drug permeation through a 3D-organotypic tissue that better mimics the in vivo permeation mechanism of drugs in human skin tissues. Octyl chains were demonstrated to both favour the DE adhesion onto porcine skin tissues and to control the gradual release and the trans-epidermal permeation of Naproxen within 24 h of the beginning of experiments. The evidence of the viability of human epithelial cells after permeation of the drug released from diatomaceous earth, also confirmed the biocompatibility with human skin of both Naproxen and mesoporous biosilica from diatom microalgae, disclosing promising applications of these drug-delivery systems for therapies of skin diseases.

Abstract
In recent years, numerous reports have described bioactive peptides (biopeptides)/hydrolysates produced from various food sources. Biopeptides are considered interesting for industrial application since they show numerous functional properties (e.g., anti-aging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties) and technological properties (e.g., solubility, emulsifying, and foaming). Moreover, they have fewer side effects than synthetic drugs. Nevertheless, some challenges must be overcome before their administration via the oral route. The gastric, pancreatic, and small intestinal enzymes and acidic stomach conditions can affect their bioavailability and the levels that can reach the site of action. Some delivery systems have been studied to avoid these problems (e.g., microemulsions, liposomes, solid lipid particles). This paper summarizes the results of studies conducted on biopeptides isolated from plants, marine organisms, animals, and biowaste by-products, discusses their potential application in the nutricosmetic industry, and considers potential delivery systems that could maintain their bioactivity. Our results show that food peptides are environmentally sustainable products that can be used as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory agents in nutricosmetic formulations. Biopeptide production from biowaste requires expertise in analytical procedures and good manufacturing practice. It is hoped that new analytical procedures can be developed to simplify large-scale production and that the authorities adopt and regulate use of appropriate testing standards to guarantee the population's safety.

Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2023; 182:128-140.

Abstract
The role of inorganic nanoparticles in our society is increasing every day, from its use in sunscreens to their introduction in analytical laboratories, pharmacy, medicine, agricultural and other uses. Therefore, in order to establish precautions as well as correct handling of this type of material by operators, it is important to determine the ability of these compounds to travel through the different layers of the skin and to study their possible toxicological effects. In this sense, several authors have studied the ability of inorganic nanoparticles to penetrate the skin barrier by diverse methodologies in in vivo and in vitro modes. In the first case, most of the studies have been performed with animal skins that can imitate the human one (porcine, mouse and guinea pigs, among others), although human skin from surgery have been also explored. However, the use of animals is a common model that should be avoided in the following years due to ethical issues. In this sense, the use of in vitro methodologies is also usually selected to study the dermal absorption of nanoparticles through the skin. Nevertheless, most of the studies are performed with authentic animal skins, instead of the use of synthetic skins that imitate the permeability of our skin system, which has been scarcely studied. In addition, most of the literature is focused in achieving high-transdermal uptake to use nanoparticles (not only inorganic) as carriers for drugs, but little efforts have been done in the study of their inherent percutaneous absorption and toxicity. For these reasons, this review covers the current state-of-the-art of dermal absorption of inorganic nanoparticles in skin and their possible toxicity taking into account that people can be in contact with these nanomaterials in daily life, work or other places. In this sense, the observed results showed that the nanoparticles rarely reach the blood circulatory system, and no big toxicological effects were commonly found when in vivo and actual skin was used. In addition, similar results were found when synthetic skins were used, demonstrating the possibility of avoiding animals in these studies. In any case, more studies covering the dermal absorption of nanoparticles should be performed to have a better understanding of how nanoparticles can affect our health.

Abstract
Nanomaterials use in cosmetics is markedly enhancing, so their exposure and toxicity are important parameters to consider for their risk assessment. This review article provides an overview of the active cosmetic ingredients used for cosmetic application, including dermal cosmetics and also hair dye cosmetics, as well as their safety assessment, enriched with a compilation of the safety assessment tests available to evaluate the different types of toxicity. In fact, despite the increase in research and the number of papers published in the field of nanotechnology, the related safety assessment is still insufficient. To elucidate the possible effects that nanosized particles can have on living systems, more studies reproducing similar conditions to what happens in vivo should be conducted, particularly considering the complex interactions of the biological systems and active cosmetic ingredients to achieve newer, safer, and more efficient nanomaterials. Toward this end, ecological issues and the toxicological pattern should also be a study target.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a predominant chronic metabolic syndrome, resulting in various complications and high mortality associated with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Approximately 15-30% of diabetic patients suffer from DFUs, which is expected to increase annually. The major challenges in treating DFUs are associated with wound infections, alterations to inflammatory responses, angiogenesis and lack of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Furthermore, the lack of targeted therapy and efficient wound dressings for diabetic wounds often results in extended hospitalization and limb amputations. Hence, it is essential to develop and improve DFU-specific therapies. Nanomaterial-based innovative approaches have tremendous potential for preventing and treating wound infections of bacterial origin. They have greater benefits compared to traditional wound dressing approaches. In this approach, the physiochemical features of nanomaterials allow researchers to employ different methods for diabetic wound healing applications. In this review, the status and prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and amputations due to DFUs in India, the pathophysiology of DFUs and their complications are discussed. Additionally, nanomaterial-based approaches such as the use of nanoemulsions, nanoparticles, nanoliposomes and nanofibers for the treatment of DFUs are studied. Besides, emerging therapeutics such as bioengineered skin substitutes and nanomaterial-based innovative approaches such as antibacterial hyperthermia therapy and gene therapy for the treatment of DFUs are highlighted. The present nanomaterial-based techniques provide a strong base for future therapeutic approaches for skin regeneration strategies in the treatment of diabetic wounds.
