Abstract
Pain management remains among the most common and largely unmet clinical problems today. Local anesthetics play an indispensable role in pain management. The main limitation of traditional local anesthetics is the limited duration of a single injection. To address this problem, catheters are often placed or combined with other drugs in clinical practice to increase the time that local anesthetics act. However, this method does not meet the needs of clinical analgesics. Therefore, many researchers have worked to develop local anesthetic extended-release types that can be administered in a single dose. In recent years, drug extended-release systems have emerged dramatically due to their long duration and efficacy, providing more possibilities for the application of local anesthetics. This paper summarizes the types of local anesthetic drug delivery systems and their clinical applications, discusses them in the context of relevant studies on local anesthetics, and provides a summary and outlook on the development of local anesthetic extended-release agents.

Reg Anesth Pain Med 2024:rapm-2024-105634. [PMID: 39223097 DOI: 10.1136/rapm-2024-105634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to optimize the formulation of magnetically targeted lidocaine microspheres, reduce the microsphere particle size, and increase the drug loading and encapsulation rate of lidocaine. The optimized microspheres were characterized, and their pharmacokinetics and effective radii of action were studied. METHODS The preparation of magnetically targeted lidocaine microspheres was optimized using ultrasonic emulsification-solvent evaporation. The Box-Behnken design method and response surface method were used for optimization. The optimized microspheres were characterized and tested for their in vitro release. Blood concentrations were analyzed using a non-compartment model, and the main pharmacokinetic parameters (half-life (t1/2 ), maximum blood concentration, area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC), time to peak (Tmax ), and mean retention time (MRT) were calculated. Pathological sections were stained to study the safety of the microsphere tissues. A rabbit sciatic nerve model was used to determine the "standard time (t0 )" and effective radius of the microspheres. RESULTS The optimized lidocaine microspheres exhibited significantly reduced particle size and increased drug loading and encapsulation rates. Pharmacokinetic experiments showed that the t1/2 , Tmax , and MRT of magnetically targeted lidocaine microspheres were significantly prolonged in the magnetic field, and the AUC0-48 and AUC0-∞ were significantly decreased. Its pharmacodynamic radius was 31.47 mm. CONCLUSION Magnetically targeted lidocaine microspheres provide sustained long-lasting release, neurotargeting, nerve blocking, and high tissue safety. This preparation has a significantly low blood concentration and a slow release in vivo, which can reduce local anesthetic entry into the blood. This may be a novel and effective method for improving postoperative comfort and treating chronic pain. This provides a countermeasure for exploring the size of the magnetic field for the application of magnetic drug-carrying materials.

Abstract
Virgin olive oil, the main source of fat in the Mediterranean diet, contains a substantial amount of squalene which possesses natural antioxidant properties. Due to its highly hydrophobic nature, its bioavailability is reduced. In order to increase its delivery and potentiate its actions, squalene has been loaded into PLGA nanoparticles (NPs). The characterization of the resulting nanoparticles was assessed by electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential and high-performance liquid chromatography. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and cell viability assays were carried out in AML12 (alpha mouse liver cell line) and a TXNDC5-deficient AML12 cell line (KO), which was generated by CRISPR/cas9 technology. According to the results, squalene was successfully encapsulated in PLGA NPs, and had rapid and efficient cellular uptake at 30 µM squalene concentration. Squalene reduced ROS in AML12, whereas ROS levels increased in KO cells and improved cell viability in both when subjected to oxidative stress by significant induction of Gpx4. Squalene enhanced cell viability in ER-induced stress by decreasing Ern1 or Eif2ak3 expressions. In conclusion, TXNDC5 shows a crucial role in regulating ER-induced stress through different signaling pathways, and squalene protects mouse hepatocytes from oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stresses by several molecular mechanisms depending on TXNDC5.

Abstract
Thermoresponsive supramolecular assemblies have been extensively explored in diverse formats, from injectable hydrogels to nanoscale carriers, for a variety of applications including drug delivery, tissue engineering and thermo-controlled catalysis. Understanding the molecular bases behind thermal sensitivity of materials is fundamentally important for the rational design of assemblies with optimal combination of properties and predictable tunability for specific applications. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in this area with a specific focus on the parameters and factors that influence thermoresponsive properties of soft materials. We summarize and analyze the effects of structures and architectures of molecules, hydrophilic and lipophilic balance, concentration, components and external additives upon the thermoresponsiveness of the corresponding molecular assemblies.

Abstract
The on-demand administration of anaesthetic drugs can be a promising alternative for chronic pain management. To further improve the efficacy of drug delivery vectors, high drug loadings combined with a spatiotemporal control on the release can not only relief the pain according to patient's needs, but also improve the drawbacks of conventional burst release delivery systems. In this study, a hybrid nanomaterial was developed by loading bupivacaine nanocrystals (BNCs) into oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA)-based thermoresponsive nanogels and coupling them to NIR-absorbing biodegradable copper sulphide nanoparticles (CuS NPs). Those CuS NPs were surface modified with polyelectrolytes using layer-by-layer techniques to be efficiently attached to the surface of nanogels by means of supramolecular interactions. The encapsulation of bupivacaine in the form of nanocrystals allowed to achieve CuS@BNC-nanogels having drug loadings as high as 65.5 wt%. The nanocrystals acted as long-lasting drug reservoirs, leading to an elevated localized drug content, which was useful for their application in prolonged pain relief. The CuS@BNC-nanogels exhibited favorable photothermal transducing properties upon NIR-light irradiation. The photothermal effect granted by the CuS NPs triggered the nano-crystallized drug release to be boosted by the collapse of the thermoresponsive nanogels upon heating. Remote control was achieved for on-demand release at a specific time and place, indicating their potential use as an externally activated triggerable drug-delivery system. Furthermore, cell viability tests and flow cytometry analysis were performed showing satisfactory cytocompatibility in the dose-ranging study having a subcytotoxic concentration of 0.05 mg/mL for CuS@BNC-nanogels. This remotely activated nanoplatform is a promising strategy for long-lasting controlled analgesia and a potential alternative for clinical pain management.

Abstract
Pain is one of the most common medical conditions and affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. Current pain treatments mainly rely on opioid analgesics and remain unsatisfactory. The life-threatening side effects and addictive properties of opioids demand new therapeutic approaches. Nanomedicine may be able to address these challenges as it allows for sensitive and targeted treatments without some of the burdens associated with current clinical pain therapies. This review discusses the physiology of pain, the current landscape of pain treatment, novel targets for pain treatment, and recent and ongoing efforts to effectively treat pain using nanotechnology-based approaches. We highl ight advances in nanoparticle-based drug delivery to reduce side effects, gene therapy to tackle the source of pain, and nanomaterials-based scavenging to proactively mediate pain signaling.

Abstract
The development of thermoresponsive nanogels loaded with nanocrystals of the local anesthetic bupivacaine nanocrystals (BNCs) for prolonged peripheral nerve pain relief is reported here. BNCs were prepared using the antisolvent precipitation method from the hydrophobic form of bupivacaine (bupivacaine free base). The as-prepared BNCs were used stand-alone or encapsulated in temperature-responsive poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA)-based nanogels, resulting in bupivacaine NC-loaded nanogels (BNC-nanogels) of monodisperse size. The synthesis protocol has rendered high drug loadings (i.e., 93.8 ± 1.5 and 84.8 ± 1.2 wt % for the NC and BNC-nanogels, respectively) and fast drug dissolution kinetics in the resulting composite material. In vivo tests demonstrated the efficacy of the formulation along with an extended duration of sciatic nerve block in murine models of more than 8 h with a formulation containing only 2 mg of the local anesthetic thanks to the thermoresponsive character of the polymer, which, at body temperature, becomes hydrophobic and acts as a diffusion barrier for the encapsulated drug nanocrystals. The hydrophobicity of the encapsulated bupivacaine free base probably facilitates its pass through cell membranes and also binds strongly to their hydrophobic lipid bilayer, thereby protecting molecules from diffusion to extracellular media and to the bloodstream, reducing their clearance. When using BNC-nanogels, the duration of the anesthetic blockage lasted twice as long as compared to the effect of just BNCs or a conventional bupivacaine hydrochloride solution both containing equivalent amounts of the free drug. Results of the in vivo tests showed enough sensory nerve block to potentially relieve pain, but still having mobility in the limb, which enables motor function when required. The BNC-nanogels presented minimal toxicity in the in vivo study due to their sustained drug release and excellent biocompatibility. The encapsulation of nano-sized crystals of bupivacaine provides a prolonged regional anesthesia with reduced toxicity, which could be advantageous in the management of chronic pain.

Abstract
Nanogels, or nanostructured hydrogels, are one of the most interesting materials in biomedical engineering. Nanogels are widely used in medical applications, such as in cancer therapy, targeted delivery of proteins, genes and DNAs, and scaffolds in tissue regeneration. One salient feature of nanogels is their tunable responsiveness to external stimuli. In this review, thermosensitive nanogels are discussed, with a focus on moieties in their chemical structure which are responsible for thermosensitivity. These thermosensitive moieties can be classified into four groups, namely, polymers bearing amide groups, ether groups, vinyl ether groups and hydrophilic polymers bearing hydrophobic groups. These novel thermoresponsive nanogels provide effective drug delivery systems and tissue regeneration constructs for treating patients in many clinical applications, such as targeted, sustained and controlled release.

Abstract
Red and NIR light-responsive polymeric nanocarriers capable of on-demand drug delivery
have gained tremendous attention for their great potential in cancer therapy. Various strategies have
been applied to fabricate such nanocarriers, and they have demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy
and minimal toxicity to normal tissues. Here, we will review the current developments in various
red and NIR light-responsive polymeric nanocarriers with respect to their use in on-demand drug
delivery, including facilitation of drug internalization and boosting of drug release at targeted sites.
We summarize their components and design strategies, and highlight the mechanisms by which the
photoactivatable variations enhance drug uptake and drug release. We attempt to provide new insights
into the fabrication of red and NIR light-responsive polymeric nanocarriers for on-demand
drug delivery.

Abstract
Here, a novel strategy for fabricating plasmonic-polymer hybrid nanostructures via the in situ thermal synthesis of copper sulfide (CuS) nanocrystals within poly(N-vinyl caprolactam)-based microgels is presented. In particular, the carboxyl groups inside the microgels enriched Cu2+ ions via electrostatic interaction, which further facilitated the nucleation inside the microgel matrix. The increase in nanocrystals' sizes with more added precursors indicated nanocrystals' continuous growth. The plasmon resonances in CuS nanocrystals were obtained due to the high-density free carriers in the covellite CuS. Both the sizes and the plasmon resonances of the as-synthesized CuS nanocrystals could be modulated by adjusting the amount of precursor. The fabricated hybrid nanostructures possessed good temperature responsivity, adjustable loading capacity, good colloidal stability, and pH dependent plasmon resonance. Furthermore, effective photothermal conversion performance was obtained under the illumination of a 980 nm NIR laser for controlling the phase transition of microgels, revealing promising potential in remotely controlled release of drugs.

Abstract
The conventional Drug Delivery System (DDS) has limitations such as leakage of the drug, toxicity to normal cells and loss of drug efficiency, while the stimuli-responsive DDS is non-toxic to cells, avoiding the leakage and degradation of the drug because of its targeted drug delivery to the pathological site. Thus nanomaterial chemistry enables - the development of smart stimuli-responsive DDS over the conventional DDS. Stimuliresponsive DDS ensures spatial or temporal, on-demand drug delivery to the targeted cancer cells. The DDS is engineered by using the organic (synthetic polymers, liposomes, peptides, aptamer, micelles, dendrimers) and inorganic (zinc oxide, gold, magnetic, quantum dots, metal oxides) materials. Principally, these nanocarriers release the drug at the targeted cells in response to external and internal stimuli such as temperature, light, ultrasound and magnetic field, pH value, redox potential (glutathione), and enzyme. The multi-stimuli responsive DDS is more promising than the single stimuli-responsive DDS in cancer therapy, and it extensively increases drug release and accumulation in the targeted cancer cells, resulting in better tumor cell ablation. In this regard, a handful of multi-stimuli responsive DDS is in clinical trials for further approval. A comprehensive review is crucial for addressing the existing knowledge about multi-stimuli responsive DDS, and hence, we summarized the emerging strategies in tailored ligand functionalized stimuli-responsive nanocarriers as the DDS for cancer therapies.

Abstract
Introduction: Recent technological progress in pain management includes patient´s stratification depending on their disease subtype, prognosis, risk, or treatment response using data analysis and genetic testing in order to select the most appropriate drug for each group. A spatiotemporal control on the release of the selected anesthetic drug is also desirable in order to minimize side effects and to provide the patient with the appropriate dose above the therapeutic threshold and below the maximum desirable concentration. Light can be used non-invasively as an exogenous trigger to allow multiple drug administrations with precise spatiotemporal control. By controlling light fluence/irradiance, pulse structure, and duration of the irradiation drug release kinetics can be controlled in a pulsatile manner to release totally or partially the drug loaded into particulate carriers.Areas covered: Recent advances in the field of light-triggered nanoparticles used in pain management specially those studies which include preclinical models are reviewed.Expert opinion: Two decades later after the first light-sensitive drug delivery systems reported still several limitations hinder their clinical translation. Additional efforts should be undertaken to understand the nanoparticles biological fate, to satisfy their large-scale production, and to facilitate the technology to apply this therapeutic approach at a low cost.

Abstract
Extended-release local anesthetics (LAs) have drawn increasing attention with their promising role in improving analgesia and reducing adverse events of LAs. Nano-structured carriers such as liposomes and polymersomes optimally meet the demands of/for extended-release, and have been utilized in drug delivery over decades and showed satisfactory results with extended-release. Based on mature technology of liposomes, EXPAREL, the first approved liposomal LA loaded with bupivacaine, has seen its success in an extended-release form. At the same time, polymersomes has advances over liposomes with complementary profiles, which inspires the emergence of hybrid carriers. This article summarized the recent research successes on nano-structured extended-release LAs, of which liposomal and polymeric are mainstream systems. Furthermore, with continual optimization, drug delivery systems carry properties beyond simple transportation, such as specificity and responsiveness. In the near future, we may achieve targeted delivery and controlled-release properties to satisfy various analgesic requirements.

Abstract
Nanogels and microgels are soft, deformable, and penetrable objects with an internal gel-like structure that is swollen by the dispersing solvent. Their softness and the potential to respond to external stimuli like temperature, pressure, pH, ionic strength, and different analytes make them interesting as soft model systems in fundamental research as well as for a broad range of applications, in particular in the field of biological applications. Recent tremendous developments in their synthesis open access to systems with complex architectures and compositions allowing for tailoring microgels with specific properties. At the same time state-of-the-art theoretical and simulation approaches offer deeper understanding of the behavior and structure of nano- and microgels under external influences and confinement at interfaces or at high volume fractions. Developments in the experimental analysis of nano- and microgels have become particularly important for structural investigations covering a broad range of length scales relevant to the internal structure, the overall size and shape, and interparticle interactions in concentrated samples. Here we provide an overview of the state-of-the-art, recent developments as well as emerging trends in the field of nano- and microgels. The following aspects build the focus of our discussion: tailoring (multi)functionality through synthesis; the role in biological and biomedical applications; the structure and properties as a model system, e.g., for densely packed arrangements in bulk and at interfaces; as well as the theory and computer simulation.
