Tailored synthesis of pH-responsive biodegradable microcapsules incorporating gelatin, alginate, and hyaluronic acid for effective-controlled release. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132178. [PMID: 38735614 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132178] [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: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
In response to escalating environmental concerns and the urgent need for sustainable drug delivery systems, this study introduces biodegradable pH-responsive microcapsules synthesized from a blend of gelatin, alginate, and hyaluronic acid. Employing the coacervation process, capsules were created with a spherical shape, multicore structure, and small sizes ranging from 10 to 20 μm, which exhibit outstanding vitamin E encapsulation efficiency. With substantial incorporation of hyaluronic acid, a pH-responsive component, the resulting microcapsules displayed noteworthy swelling behavior, facilitating proficient core ingredient release at pH 5.5 and 7.4. Notably, these capsules can effectively deliver active substances to the dermal layer under specific skin conditions, revealing promising applications in topical medications and cosmetics. Furthermore, the readily biodegradable nature of the designed capsules was demonstrated through Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) testing, with over 80 % of microcapsules being degraded by microorganisms after one week of incubation. This research contributes to the development of responsive microcapsules and aligns with broader environmental initiatives, offering a promising pathway to mitigate the impact of microplastics while advancing various applications.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:2047.

Abstract
In this study, multilayer microcapsules (two-layer and four-layer) based on furcellaran (FUR) and chitosan (CHIT) were produced, enclosing a tripeptide with an antioxidant effect-glutathione-in different concentrations. In addition, for the first time, an empty, four-layer microcapsule based on CHIT and FUR (ECAPS) was obtained, which can be used to contain sensitive, active substances of a hydrophobic nature. Layering was monitored using zeta potential, and the presence of the resulting capsules was confirmed by SEM imaging. In the current study, we also investigated whether the studied capsules had any effect on the Hep G2 cancer cell line. An attempt was also made to identify the possible molecular mechanism(s) by which the examined capsules suppressed the growth of Hep G2 cells. In this report, we demonstrate that the capsules suppressed the growth of cancer cells. This mechanism was linked to the modulation of the AKT/PI3K signaling pathway and the induction of the G2/M arrest cell cycle. Furthermore, the results indicate that the tested multilayer microcapsules induced cell death through an apoptotic pathway.

Abstract
In this study, micron-sized monodisperse SiO2 microspheres were used as sacrificial templates, and chitosan/polylactic acid (CTS/PLA) bio-microcapsules were produced using the layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly method. Microcapsules isolate bacteria from their surroundings, forming a separate microenvironment and greatly improving microorganisms' ability to adapt to adverse environmental conditions. Morphology observation indicated that the pie-shaped bio-microcapsules with a certain thickness could be successfully prepared through LBL assembly method. Surface analysis showed that the LBL bio-microcapsules (LBMs) had large fractions of mesoporous. The biodegradation experiments of toluene and the determination of toluene degrading enzyme activity were also carried out under external adverse environmental conditions (i.e., unsuitable initial concentrations of toluene, pH, temperature, and salinity). The results showed that the removal rate of toluene by LBMs can basically reach more than 90% in 2 days under adverse environmental conditions, which is significantly higher than that of free bacteria. In particular, the removal rate of toluene by LBMs can reach four times that of free bacteria at pH 3, which indicates that LBMs maintain a high level of operational stability for toluene degradation. Flow cytometry analysis showed that LBL microcapsules could effectively reduce the death rate of the bacteria. The results of the enzyme activity assay showed that the enzyme activity was significantly stronger in the LBMs system than in the free bacteria system under the same unfavorable external environmental conditions. In conclusion, the LBMs were more adaptable to the uncertain external environment, which provided a feasible bioremediation strategy for the treatment of organic contaminants in actual groundwater.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer self-assembly (L-b-L assembly) makes possible to obtain polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) and one of the polyelectrolytes could be replaced by a dye molecule to obtain multilayers which may exhibit optical properties of great interest. On the other hand, μCp has become a routine technique for the preparation of micro- and nanostructured surfaces. In our development in progress of a surface engineering strategy to transfer J-Agg cyanine dyes onto surfaces by integrating L-b-L process and μCp, this contribution highlights how surface analysis imaging techniques can bring valuable information for the development of the process involving a double Multilayers Transfer Printing (MTP) with a Moiré effect. Key parameters sustaining image interpretation are difference in deposit thickness (optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy), in roughness (atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy), in charge effect (scanning electron microscopy) and the chemical contrast between unprinted and printed areas (time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry).

Abstract
One strategy to prepare phase-separated co-assembly is to use the existing assembly as a platform to architect structures. For this purpose, the edge of a sheet or tube-shaped molecular assembly, which is less hydrophilic than the bulk region can become a starting point to build assembly units to realize more complex structures. In this study, we succeeded in preparing rod-shaped nanocapsules with previously unachieved sealing efficiency (>99%) by fine-tuning the properties of cationic amphiphilic polypeptides to seal the ends of neutral charge nanotubes. In addition, we demonstrated the nanocapsule's reversible responsiveness to salt. In high salt concentrations, a decrease in electrostatic repulsion between cationic polypeptides caused tearing and shrinking of the nanocapsule's sealing dome, which resulted in an opened nanotube. On the other hand, when salt was removed, the electrostatic repulsion among the cationic peptides localizing on the edge of opened nanocapsules was recovered, and the sealing membrane swelled up like an accordion to create a distance between the peptides, resulting in the restoration of the seal.

Abstract
Capsules with shells based on nanoparticles of different nature co-assembled at the interface of liquid phases of emulsion are promising carriers of lipophilic drugs. To obtain such capsules, theoretically using the Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory and experimentally using dynamic light-scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods, the interaction of like-charged silica nanoparticles and detonation nanodiamonds in an aqueous solution was studied and their ratios selected for the formation of submicron-sized colloidosomes. The resulting colloidosomes were modified with additional layers of nanoparticles and polyelectrolytes, applying LbL technology. As a model anti-cancer drug, thymoquinone was loaded into the developed capsules, demonstrating a significant delay of the release as a result of colloidosome surface modification. Fluorescence flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy showed efficient internalization of the capsules by MCF7 cancer cells. The obtained results demonstrated a high potential for nanomedicine application in the field of the drug-delivery system development.

Abstract
A continuous flow cascade of multi-step catalytic reactions is a cutting-edge concept to revolutionize stepwise catalytic synthesis yet is still challenging in practical applications. Herein, a method for practical one-pot cascade catalysis is developed by combining Pickering emulsions with continuous flow. Our method involves co-localization of different catalytically active sub-compartments within droplets of a Pickering emulsion yielding cell-like microreactors, which can be packed in a column reactor for continuous flow cascade catalysis. As exemplified by two chemo-enzymatic cascade reactions for the synthesis of chiral cyanohydrins and chiral ester, 5 − 420 fold enhancement in the catalysis efficiency and as high as 99% enantioselectivity were obtained even over a period of 80 − 240 h. The compartmentalization effect and enriching-reactant properties arising from the biomimetic microreactor are theoretically and experimentally identified as the key factors for boosting the catalysis efficiency and for regulating the kinetics of cascade catalysis. A continuous flow cascade of multi-step catalytic reactions would provide significant advantages in faster reaction times, waste reduction, and lowered step-count of syntheses, yet this ideal remains challenging in practical applications. Here the authors describe continuous flow cascade catalysis through co-localization of two catalytically active subcompartments within Pickering emulsion droplets.

Abstract
Compared with injection, oral drug delivery is a better mode of administration because of its security, low pain and simplicity. Insulin is the first choice for clinical treatment of type 1 diabetes, but, because insulin inability to resist gastrointestinal (GI) digestion results in poor oral bioavailability of insulin. Herein, we developed a targeted oral delivery system for diabetes. ConA-INS-KGM nanoparticles were prepared, loaded with insulin, fabricated from konjac glucomannan (KGM) and concanavalin A (ConA) through a crosslinking method, as an insulin oral delivery system in response to different blood glucose levels. The size of nanoparticles was characterized by TEM, which showed that these nanoparticles were formed spherical particles with a diameter of about 500 nm. In vitro release of insulin from these nanoparticles was studied, which indicated that insulin release is reversible at different glucose concentrations. In vivo tests demonstrated that they are safe and have high biocompatibility. Using the nanoparticles to treat diabetic mice, we found that they can control blood sugar levels for 6 h, retaining their glucose-sensitive properties during this time. Therefore, these nanoparticles have significant potential as glucose-responsive systems for diabetes and show great applications in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Polymersomes that incorporate aggregation-induced emission (AIE) moieties are attractive inherently fluorescent nanoparticles with biomedical application potential for cell/tissue imaging and tracking, as well as phototherapeutics. An intriguing feature that has not been explored yet is their ability to adopt a range of asymmetric morphologies. Structural asymmetry allows nanoparticles to be exploited as active (motile) systems. Here, we present the design and preparation of AIE fluorophore integrated (AIEgenic) cucurbit-shaped polymersome nanomotors with enzyme-powered motility. The cucurbit scaffold was constructed via morphology engineering of biodegradable fluorescent AIE-polymersomes, followed by functionalization with enzymatic machinery via a layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly process. Because of the enzyme-mediated decomposition of chemical fuel on the cucurbit-like nanomotor surface, enhanced directed motion was attained, when compared with the spherical counterparts. These cucurbit-shaped biodegradable AIE-nanomotors provide a promising platform for the development of active delivery systems with potential for biomedical applications.

Currently, the potential applications of polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles in the biomedical field are being extensively studied, such as cell internalization, biocompatible surface modification, biological imaging, nano-drug delivery, cancer diagnosis, and treatment. However, the subsequent toxicological response to PDA nanoparticles, especially on nervous system damage was still largely unknown. In this regard, the evaluation of the neurotoxicity of PDA nanoparticles was performed in the developing zebrafish larvae. Results of the transmission electron microscope (TEM), diameter analysis, 1H NMR, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that PDA nanoparticles had high stability without any depolymerization; the maximum non-lethal dose (MNLD) and LD10 of PDA nanoparticles for zebrafish were determined to be 0.5 mg/mL and 4 mg/mL. Pericardial edema and uninflated swim bladders were observed in zebrafish larvae after exposure to PDA nanoparticles. At a concentration higher than MNLD, the fluorescence images manifested that the PDA nanoparticles could inhibit the axonal growth of peripheral motor neurons in zebrafish, which might affect the movement distances and speed, disturb the movement trace, finally resulting in impaired motor function. However, in further investigating the mechanism of PDA nanoparticles-induced neurotoxicity in zebrafish larvae, we did not find apoptosis of central neurocytes. Our data suggested that PDA nanoparticles might trigger neurotoxicity in zebrafish, which could provide an essential clue for the safety assessment of PDA nanoparticles.

[PMID: 34202983 PMCID: PMC8234856 DOI: 10.3390/ma14123411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
A bio-inspired nanofibrous MnO2-TiO2-carbon composite was prepared by utilizing natural cellulosic substances (e.g., ordinary quantitative ashless filter paper) as both the carbon source and structural matrix. Mesoporous MnO2 nanosheets were densely immobilized on an ultrathin titania film precoated with cellulose-derived carbon nanofibers, which gave a hierarchical MnO2-TiO2-carbon nanoarchitecture and exhibited excellent electrochemical performances when used as an anodic material for lithium-ion batteries. The MnO2-TiO2-carbon composite with a MnO2 content of 47.28 wt % exhibited a specific discharge capacity of 677 mAh g−1 after 130 repeated charge/discharge cycles at a current rate of 100 mA g−1. The contribution percentage of MnO2 in the composite material is equivalent to 95.1% of the theoretical capacity of MnO2 (1230 mAh g−1). The ultrathin TiO2 precoating layer with a thickness ca. 2 nm acts as a crucial interlayer that facilitates the growth of well-organized MnO2 nanosheets onto the surface of the titania-carbon nanofibers. Due to the interweaved network structures of the carbon nanofibers and the increased content of the immobilized MnO2, the exfoliation and aggregation, as well as the large volume change of the MnO2 nanosheets, are significantly inhibited; thus, the MnO2-TiO2-carbon electrodes displayed outstanding cycling performance and a reversible rate capability during the Li+ insertion/extraction processes.

Abstract
Copigmentation and encapsulation are the two most commonly used techniques for anthocyanin stabilization. However, each of these techniques by itself suffers from many challenges associated with the simultaneous achievement of color intensification and high stability of anthocyanins. Integrating copigmentation and encapsulation may overcome the limitation of usage of a single technique. This review summarizes the most recent studies and their challenges aiming at combining copigmentation and encapsulation techniques. The effective approaches for encapsulating copigmented anthocyanins are described, including spray/freeze-drying, emulsification, gelation, polyelectrolyte complexation, and their combinations. Other emerging approaches, such as layer-by-layer deposition and ultrasonication, are also reviewed. The physicochemical principles underlying the combined strategies for the fabrication of various delivery systems are discussed. Particular emphasis is directed toward the synergistic effects of copigmentation and encapsulation, for example, modulating roles of copigments in the processes of gelation and complexation. Finally, some of the major challenges and opportunities for future studies are highlighted. The trend of integrating copigmentation and encapsulation has been just started to develop. The information in this review should facilitate the exploration of the combination of multistrategy and the fabrication of robust delivery systems for copigmented anthocyanins.

Abstract
Dialdehyde polysaccharide (DAP), containing multiple aldehyde groups, can react with materials having amino groups via Schiff base crosslinking. Besides, it can also react with materials having carbonyl/hydroxyl groups via aldol reactions. Based on these intriguing properties, DAPs can be employed as versatile building blocks to fabricate functional materials used in biomedical field, wastewater treatment, leather manufacture, and electrochemistry field. This review aims to provide an overview of the recent advances in fabricating biomaterials, adsorbents, leather tanning agents, and electrochemical materials based on DAPs. The basic fabricating strategy and principle of these materials and their performances are overall summarized, along with a discussion of associated scalability challenges, technological strategies to overcome them, and the prospect for commercial translations of this versatile material. Blending the versatility of DAP with material science and technological advances can provide a powerful tool to develop more DAP-based functional materials in a scalable way.

Abstract
Rapid development of versatile layer-by-layer technology has resulted in important breakthroughs in the understanding of the nature of molecular interactions in multilayer assemblies made of polyelectrolytes. Nowadays, polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) are considered to be non-equilibrium and highly dynamic structures. High interest in biomedical applications of PEMs has attracted attention to PEMs made of biopolymers. Recent studies suggest that biopolymer dynamics determines the fate and the properties of such PEMs; however, deciphering, predicting and controlling the dynamics of polymers remains a challenge. This review brings together the up-to-date knowledge of the role of molecular dynamics in multilayers assembled from biopolymers. We discuss how molecular dynamics determines the properties of these PEMs from the nano to the macro scale, focusing on its role in PEM formation and non-enzymatic degradation. We summarize the factors allowing the control of molecular dynamics within PEMs, and therefore to tailor polymer multilayers on demand.

Abstract
Self-organized nano- and microscale polymer compartments such as polymersomes, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), polyion complex vesicles (PICsomes) and layer-by-layer (LbL) capsules have increasing potential in many sensing applications. Besides modifying the physicochemical properties of the corresponding polymer building blocks, the versatility of these compartments can be markedly expanded by biomolecules that endow the nanomaterials with specific molecular and cellular functions. In this review, we focus on polymer-based compartments that preserve their structure, and highlight the key role they play in the field of medical diagnostics: first, the self-assembling abilities that result in preferred architectures are presented for a broad range of polymers. In the following, we describe different strategies for sensing disease-related signals (pH-change, reductive conditions, and presence of ions or biomolecules) by polymer compartments that exhibit stimuli-responsiveness. In particular, we distinguish between the stimulus-sensitivity contributed by the polymer itself or by additional compounds embedded in the compartments in different sensing systems. We then address necessary properties of sensing polymeric compartments, such as the enhancement of their stability and biocompatibility, or the targeting ability, that open up new perspectives for diagnostic applications.

Abstract
Biological structures have emerged through millennia of evolution, and nature has fine-tuned the material properties in order to optimise the structure-function relationship. Following this paradigm, polydopamine (PDA), which was found to be crucial for the adhesion of mussels to wet surfaces, was hence initially introduced as a coating substance to increase the chemical reactivity and surface adhesion properties. Structurally, polydopamine is very similar to melanin, which is a pigment of human skin responsible for the protection of underlying skin layers by efficiently absorbing light with potentially harmful wavelengths. Recent findings have shown the subsequent release of the energy (in the form of heat) upon light excitation, presenting it as an ideal candidate for photothermal applications. Thus, polydopamine can both be used to (i) coat nanoparticle surfaces and to (ii) form capsules and ultra-small (nano)particles/nanocomposites while retaining bulk characteristics (i.e., biocompatibility, stability under UV irradiation, heat conversion, and activity during photoacoustic imaging). Due to the aforementioned properties, polydopamine-based materials have since been tested in adhesive and in energy-related as well as in a range of medical applications such as for tumour ablation, imaging, and drug delivery. In this review, we focus upon how different forms of the material can be synthesised and the use of polydopamine in biological and biomedical applications.

Abstract
As a mussel-inspired material, polydopamine (PDA), possesses many properties, such as a simple preparation process, good biocompatibility, strong adhesive property, easy functionalization, outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency, and strong quenching effect. PDA has attracted increasingly considerable attention because it provides a simple and versatile approach to functionalize material surfaces for obtaining a variety of multifunctional nanomaterials. In this review, recent significant research developments of PDA including its synthesis and polymerization mechanism, physicochemical properties, different nano/microstructures, and diverse applications are summarized and discussed. For the sections of its applications in surface modification and biomedicine, we mainly highlight the achievements in the past few years (2016-2019). The remaining challenges and future perspectives of PDA-based nanoplatforms are discussed rationally at the end. This timely and overall review should be desirable for a wide range of scientists and facilitate further development of surface coating methods and the production of PDA-based materials.

Abstract
Conventional delivery systems for hydrophilic material still face critical challenges toward practical applications, including poor retention abilities, lack of stimulus responsiveness, and low bioavailability. Here, we propose a robust encapsulation strategy for hydrophilic cargo to produce a wide class of aqueous core-shell-shell coconut-like nanostructures featuring excellent stability and multifunctionality. The numerous active groups (-SH, -NH2, and -COOH) of the protein-polysaccharide wall material enable the formation of shell-cross-linked nanocapsules enclosing a liquid water droplet during acoustic cavitation. A subsequent pH switch can trigger the generation of an additional shell through the direct deposition of non-cross-linked protein back onto the cross-linked surface. Using anthocyanin as a model hydrophilic bioactive, these nanocapsules show high encapsulation efficiency, loading content, tolerance to environmental stresses, biocompatibility, and high cellular uptake. Moreover, the composite double shells driven by both covalent bonding and electrostatics provide the nanocapsules with pH/redox dual stimuli-responsive behavior. Our approach is also feasible for any shell material that can be cross-linked via ultrasonication, offering the potential to encapsulate diverse hydrophilic functional components, including bioactive molecules, nanocomplexes, and water-dispersible inorganic nanomaterials. Further development of this strategy should hold promise for designing versatile nanoengineered core-shell-shell nanoplatforms for various applications, such as the oral absorption of hydrophilic drugs/nutraceuticals and the smart delivery of therapeutics.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a most commonly used method to prepare various microcapsules based on the electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, covalent bonding, and so on. Among these interactions, Schiff base bond formed in covalent assembly not only has an advantage in stability, but also enables the assembled microcapsules with autofluorescence and pH sensitivity. In this Article, we will mainly describe the construction of biomimetic microcapsules through Schiff base mediated LbL assembly. The structures and properties of the assembled microcapsules are introduced and their applications as drug carriers are highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Capsules containing a dye were prepared by the LbL method with iron oxide nanoparticles (50 nm) in different layers of the shell. METHOD The capsules were dispersed in a gel and subjected to focused ultrasonic irradiation at three different powers and exposure times. RESULT It was found that the inclusion of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles in any of the polyelectrolyte shells (4, 6, 8 and 10) strengthened the capsules with respect to capsules without nanoparticles. Incorporation of nanoparticles in shell 8 provided the most resistance to fragmentation under focused ultrasonic irradiation. The relative degree of capsule stability is dependent on both the power of the ultrasound and the exposure time. CONCLUSION The presence of iron oxide nanoparticles not only conferred more resistance to fragmentation but also provided a route to protein labelled dye release through sonoporation that was not present for capsules without nanoparticles.

Abstract
A highly active surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate was developed by facile deposition of silver nanoparticles onto cellulose fibers of ordinary laboratory filter paper. This was achieved by means of the silver mirror reaction in a manner to control both the size of the silver nanoparticles and the silver density of the substrate. This paper-based substrate is composed of a particle-on-fiber structure with the unique three-dimensional network morphology of the cellulose matrix. For such a SERS substrate with optimized size of the silver nanoparticles (ca. 70 nm) and loading density of silver (17.28 wt %), a remarkable detection limit down to the sub-attomolar (1 × 10-16 M) level and an enhancement factor of 3 × 106 were achieved by using Rhodamine 6G as the analyte. Moreover, this substrate was applied to monitor the molecular recognition through multiple hydrogen bonds in between nucleosides of adenosine and thymidine. This low-cost, highly sensitive, and biocompatible paper-based SERS substrate holds considerable potentials for the detection and analyses of chemical and biomolecular species.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) films with enhanced resistance to protein adsorption were obtained on the basis of N-grafted copolymers of chitosan with polyethylene glycol (PEG) or dextran (DEX). The copolymers with the backbone molecular weight of 18 and 450 kDa, side chains of PEG of 5.0 and 0.9 kDa, DEX of 6.0 kDa and the degree of amine groups substitution χSub as high as ∼0.25 were alternated with dextran sulfate (DS) to assemble up to 10 bilayer films. The film material contains 85±5% of water with virtually no effect of the copolymer structure. By utilizing the graft copolymers and applying suitable number of copolymer/DS bilayers to the surface, the mass of adsorbed fetal bovine serum proteins was decreased by 70-85% as compared to that on unmodified chitosan/DS film. In terms of overlapping side chains on the LbL surface the copolymers of PEG and DEX are equally effective in tailoring protein-resistant materials.

Abstract
Engineering of multifunctional drug nanocarriers combining stability and good release properties remains a great challenge. In this work, natural polymers κ-carrageenan (κ-CAR) and chitosan (CS) were deposited onto olive oil nanoemulsion droplets (NE) via layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly to study the release mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory diflunisal (DF) as a lipophilic drug model. The nano-systems were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential (ζ-potential) measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to confirm the NE-coating with polymer layers. In addition, kinetic release studies of DF were developed by the dialysis diffusion bag technique. Mathematical models were applied to investigate the release mechanisms. The results showed that stable and suitably sized nanocapsules (~300 nm) were formed. Also, the consecutive adsorption of polyelectrolytes by charge reversal was evidenced. More interestingly, the drug release mechanism varied depending on the number of layers deposited. The nanosized systems containing up to two layers showed anomalous transport and first order kinetics. Formulations with three and four layers exhibited Case II transport releasing diflunisal with zero order kinetics. Hence, our results suggest that these polyelectrolyte nanocapsules have great potential as a multifunctional nanocarrier for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Drug delivery monitoring and tracking in the human body are two of the biggest challenges in targeted therapy to be addressed by nanomedicine. The ability of imaging drugs and micro-/nanoengineered drug carriers and of visualizing their interactions at the cellular interface in a label-free manner is crucial in providing the ability of tracking their cellular pathways and will help understand their biological impact, allowing thus to improve the therapeutic efficacy. We present a fast, label-free technique to achieve high-resolution imaging at the mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum that provides chemical information. Using our custom-made benchtop infrared microscope using a high-repetition-rate pulsed laser (80 MHz, 40 ps), we were able to acquire images with subwavelength resolution (0.8 × λ) at very high speeds. As a proof-of-concept, we embarked on the investigation of nanoengineered polyelectrolyte capsules (NPCs) containing the anticancer drug, docetaxel. These NPCs were synthesized using a layer-by-layer approach built upon a calcium carbonate (CaCO3) core, which was then removed away with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The obtained MIR images show that NPCs are attached to the cell membrane, which is a good step toward an efficient drug delivery. This has been confirmed by both three-dimensional confocal fluorescence and stimulated emission depletion microscopy. Coupled with additional instrumentation and data processing advancements, this setup is capable of video-rate imaging speeds and will be significantly complementing current super-resolution microscopy techniques while providing an unperturbed view into living cells.

Abstract
A lot of efforts have been devoted to engineering the delivery of hydrophobic drugs due to the high demand of chemotherapy against cancer. While early developed liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles did not meet the requirements of high drug loading efficiency, pure drug nanoparticles appeared to meet these together with high stability. Current drug delivery systems demand an improved performance over the whole aspects of stability, loading capacity, and therapeutic effects. As a result, both new techniques based on traditional methods and totally new procedures are under investigation. In this review, we focus on the evaluation of pure drug nanolloids fabricated by different engineering protocols with emphasis on the size and morphology, delivery and controlled release, and therapeutic effects of these drug nanocolloids.

Abstract
In order to improve azithromycin's antibacterial activity in acidic medium, monomethoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (aspartic acid-graft-imidazole) copolymer was synthesized through allylation, free radical addition, ring-opening polymerization and amidation reactions with methoxy poly (ethylene glycol) as raw material. Drug loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency of azithromycin-loaded micelles prepared via thin film hydration method were 11.58±0.86% and 96.06±1.93%, respectively. The drug-loaded micelles showed pH-dependent property in the respects of particle size, zeta potential at the range of pH 5.5-7.8. It could control drug in vitro release and demonstrate higher release rate at pH 6.0 than that at pH 7.4. In vitro antibacterial experiment indicated that the activity of azithromycin-loaded micelles against S. aureus was superior to free azithromycin in medium at both pH 6.0 and pH 7.4. Using fluorescein as substitute with pH-dependent fluorescence decrease property, laser confocal fluorescence microscopy analysis confirmed that cellular uptake of micelles was improved due to protonation of copolymer's imidazole groups at pH 6.0. The enhanced cellular uptake and release of drug caused its activity enhancement in acidic medium when compared with free drug. The micellar drug delivery system should be potential application in the field of bacterial infection treatment.
