Abstract
Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders. Nanotechnology has emerged to optimize the pharmacological response. Therefore, the aim of this work was to develop and characterize liposomes and nanocapsules containing paroxetine hydrochloride and evaluate their antidepressant-like effect using the open field and tail suspension tests in mice. Liposomes and nanocapsules were prepared using the reverse-phase evaporation and nanoprecipitation methods, respectively. The particle size of the formulation ranged from 121.81 to 310.73 nm, the polydispersity index from 0.096 to 0.303, the zeta potential from -11.94 to -34.50 mV, the pH from 5.31 to 7.38, the drug content from 80.82 to 94.36 %, and the association efficiency was 98 %. Paroxetine hydrochloride showed slower release when associated with liposomes (43.82 %) compared to nanocapsules (95.59 %) after 10 h. In Vero cells, in vitro toxicity showed a concentration-dependent effect for paroxetine hydrochloride nanostructures. Both nanostructures decreased the immobility time in the TST at 2.5 mg/kg without affecting the number of crossings in the open field test, suggesting the antidepressant-like effect of paroxetine. In addition, the nanocapsules decreased the number of groomings, reinforcing the anxiolytic effect of this drug. These results suggest that the nanostructures were effective in preserving the antidepressant-like effect of paroxetine hydrochloride even at low doses.

Abstract
A co-delivery system based on multilayer microparticles was developed and characterized for the sequential release of phenolic compounds (PCs) using different encapsulation processes (spray drying: SD and drying-chilling spray: SDC) and wall materials to improve the stability and bioavailability of PCs. Samples were characterized in terms of process yield (PY%), phenolic retention efficiency (PRE%), chemical structure and crystallinity (NMR, FTIR, DXR), thermal stability (DSC and FT-IR), anti-radical capacity (ORAC and ABTS) and in vitro digestion. PRE% of samples by SD were higher (p < 0.05) than SDC due to the formation of PCs from CRF (cará-roxo flour). NMR, FTIR, DXR confirmed the presence of key components and interactions for the formation of the advanced co-delivery system. The SDC particles showed crystalline regions by XRD and were stable at ∼47 °C. All samples showed good release of PC in the intestinal phase, and antiradical capacity that reached 23.66 µmol TE g-1.

Navigating the challenges of lipid nanoparticle formulation: the role of unpegylated lipid surfactants in enhancing drug loading and stability. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2024; 6:669-679. [PMID: 38235101 PMCID: PMC10791113 DOI: 10.1039/d3na00484h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles have proved an attractive approach for drug delivery; however, the challenges of optimising formulation stability and increasing drug loading have limited progression. In this work, we investigate the role of unpegylated lipid surfactants (helper lipids) in nanoparticle formation and the effect of blending helper lipids with pegylated lipid surfactants on the formation and stability of lipid-based nanoparticles by nanoprecipitation. Furthermore, blends of unpegylated/pegylated lipid surfactants were examined for ability to accommodate higher drug loading formulations by means of a higher weight percentage (wt%) of drug relative to total mass of formulation components (i.e. drug, surfactants and lipids). Characterisation included evaluation of particle diameter, size distribution, drug loading and nanoformulation stability. Our findings demonstrate that the addition of unpegylated lipid surfactant (Lipoid S100) to pegylated lipid surfactant (Brij S20) enhances stability, particularly at higher weight percentages of the core material. This blending approach enables drug loading capacities exceeding 10% in the lipid nanoparticles. Notably, Lipoid S100 exhibited nucleating properties that aided in the formation and stabilisation of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, we examined the incorporation of a model drug into the lipid nanoparticle formulations. Blending the model drug with the core material disrupted the crystallinity of the core, offering additional potential benefits in terms of drug release and stability. This comprehensive investigation provides valuable insights into the interplay between surfactant properties, core material composition, and nanoparticle behaviour. The study enhances our understanding of lipid materials and offers guidance for the design and optimisation of lipid nanoparticle formulations.

Abstract
Polysaccharide/silica hybrid microcapsules were prepared using ionic gelation followed by spray-drying. Chitosan and alginate were used as biopolymer matrices, and in situ prepared silica was used as a structuring additive. The prepared microparticles were used in two very different applications: the encapsulation of hydrophilic molecules, and as a support for palladium nanoparticles used as catalysts for a model organic reaction, namely the reduction of p-nitrophenol by sodium borhydride. In the first application, erioglaucine disodium salt, taken as a model hydrophilic substance, was encapsulated in situ during the preparation of the microparticles. The results indicate that the presence of silica nanostructures, integrated within the polymer matrix, affect the morphology and the stability of the particles, retarding the release of the encapsulated substance. In the second application, chloropalladate was complexed on the surface of chitosan microparticles, and palladium(II) was subsequently reduced to palladium(0) to obtain heterogeneous catalysts with an excellent performance.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are natural polyesters produced by microorganisms as a source of intracellular energy reserves. Due to their desirable material characteristics, these polymers have been thoroughly investigated for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. A tissue engineering scaffold serves as a substitute of the native extracellular matrix (ECM) and plays a crucial role in tissue regeneration by providing temporary support for cells during natural ECM formation. In this study, porous, biodegradable scaffolds were prepared using native polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and PHB in nanoparticulate form using salt leaching method, to investigate the differences in the physicochemical properties such as crystallinity, hydrophobicity, surface morphology, roughness, and surface area and biological properties of the prepared scaffolds. As per the BET analysis, PHB nanoparticles-based (PHBN) scaffolds presented a significant difference in the surface area as compare to PHB scaffolds. PHBN scaffolds showed decreased crystallinity and improved mechanical strength as compared to PHB scaffolds. Thermogravimetry analysis shows delayed degradation of PHBN scaffolds. An examination of Vero cell lines' cell viability and adhesion over time revealed enhanced performance of PHBN scaffolds. Our research suggests that scaffold made of PHB nanoparticles could serve as a superior material for tissue engineering applications than its native form.

Abstract
Nowadays, antioxidants and antibacterial activity play an increasingly vital role in biosystems due to the biochemical and biological reactions that involve free radicals and pathogen growth, which occur in many systems. For this purpose, continuous efforts are being made to minimize these reactions, including the use of nanomaterials as antioxidants and bactericidal agents. Despite such advances, iron oxide nanoparticles still lack knowledge regarding their antioxidant and bactericidal capacities. This includes the investigation of biochemical reactions and their effects on nanoparticle functionality. In green synthesis, active phytochemicals give nanoparticles their maximum functional capacity and should not be destroyed during synthesis. Therefore, research is required to establish a correlation between the synthesis process and the nanoparticle properties. In this sense, the main objective of this work was to evaluate the most influential process stage: calcination. Thus, different calcination temperatures (200, 300, and 500 °C) and times (2, 4, and 5 h) were studied in the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles using either Phoenix dactylifera L. (PDL) extract (green method) or sodium hydroxide (chemical method) as the reducing agent. The results show that calcination temperatures and times had a significant influence on the degradation of the active substance (polyphenols) and the final structure of iron oxide nanoparticles. It was found that, at low calcination temperatures and times, the nanoparticles exhibited small sizes, fewer polycrystalline structures, and better antioxidant activities. In conclusion, this work highlights the importance of green synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles due to their excellent antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (FexOy-NPs) are currently being applied in numerous high-tech sectors, such as in chemical sectors for catalysis and in the medical sector for drug delivery systems and antimicrobial purposes, due to their specific, unique and magnetic properties. Nevertheless, their synthesis is under continuous investigation, as physicochemical methods are considered expensive and require toxic solvents. Thus, green nanotechnology has shown considerable promise in the eco-biogenesis of nanoparticles. In the current study, FexOy-NPs were synthesized by two different methods: via green synthesis through the use of polyphenols, which were extracted from Phoenix dactylifera L.; and via chemical synthesis, in which the reducing agent was a chemical (NaOH), and iron chloride was used as a precursor. Thus, polyphenol extraction and its ability to produce nanoparticles were evaluated based on the drying temperature used during the Phoenix dactylifera L. recollection, as well as the extraction solvent used. The results highlight the potential of polyphenols present in Phoenix dactylifera L. for the sustainable manufacture of FexOy-NPs. Finally, green and chemical syntheses were compared on the basis of physicochemical characteristics and functional properties.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The entrapment of lyophobic in superhydrophilic hydrogels is challenging because of the intrinsic incompatibility between hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules. To achieve such entrapment without affecting the hydrogel's formation, the electrospinning of nanodroplets or nanoparticles with a water-soluble polymer could reduce the incompatibility through the reduction of interfacial tension and the formation of a barrier film preventing coalescence or aggregation. EXPERIMENTS Nanodroplets or nanoparticles dispersion are electrospun in the presence of a hydrophilic polymer in hydrogel precursors. The dissolution of the hydrophilic nanofibers during electrospinning allows a redispersion of emulsion droplets and nanoparticles in the hydrogel's matrix. FINDINGS Superhydrophilic hydrogels with well-distributed hydrophobic nanodroplets or nanoparticles are obtained without detrimentally imparting the viscosity of hydrogel's precursors and the mechanical properties of the hydrogels. Compared with the incorporation of droplets without electrospinning, higher loadings of hydrophobic payload are achieved without premature leakage. This concept can be used to entrap hydrophobic agrochemicals, drugs, or antibacterial agents in simple hydrogels formulation.

Abstract
Metal/metal oxide nanoparticles show promise for various applications, including diagnosis, treatment, theranostics, sensors, cosmetics, etc. Their altered chemical, optical, magnetic, and structural properties have differential toxicity profiles. Depending upon their physical state, these NPs can also change their properties due to alteration in pH, interaction with proteins, lipids, blood cells, and genetic material. Metallic nanomaterials (comprised of a single metal element) tend to be relatively stable and do not readily undergo dissolution. Contrarily, metal oxide and metal alloy-based nanomaterials tend to exhibit a lower degree of stability and are more susceptible to dissolution and ion release when introduced to a biological milieu, leading to reactive oxygen species production and oxidative stress to cells. Since NPs have considerable mobility in various biological tissues, the investigation related to their adverse effects is a critical issue and required to be appropriately addressed before their biomedical applications. Short and long-term toxicity assessment of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles or their nano-formulations is of paramount importance to ensure the global biome's safety; otherwise, to face a fiasco. This article provides a comprehensive introspection regarding the effects of metal/metal oxides' physical state, their surface properties, the possible mechanism of actions along with the potential future strategy for remediation of their toxic effects.

Abstract
Nanoemulsions are kinetically stabilized emulsions with droplet sizes in the nanometer scale. These nanodroplets are able to confine spaces in which reactions of polymerization or precipitation can take place, leading to the formation of particles and capsules that can act as nanocarriers for biomedical applications. This review discusses the different possibilities of using nanoemulsions for preparing biomedical nanocarriers. According to the chemical nature, nanocarriers prepared in nanoemulsions are classified in polymeric, inorganic, or hybrid. The main synthetic strategies for each type are revised, including miniemulsion polymerization, nanoemulsion-solvent evaporation, spontaneous emulsification, sol-gel processes, and combination of different techniques to form multicomponent materials.

Abstract
This work describes the synthesis of poly(butylene adipate) (PBAd), by melt polycondensation, poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA), by ring opening polymerization, and the new block copolymer PLLA/PBAd in ratios 90/10, 95/5, 75/25 and 50/50. Due to the biocompatibility and low toxicity of neat PBAd and PLLA, these copolymers are suitable to be used in biomedical applications. The 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques were employed for structural characterization. The thermal transitions, with an emphasis on crystallization, were assessed by differential scanning calorimetry, supplemented by X-ray diffraction and polarized optical microscopy. Molecular mobility studies were conducted using two advanced techniques, broadband dielectric spectroscopy and thermally stimulated depolarization currents. The results from the structural techniques, in combination with each other, provided proof of the presence of PLLA and PBAd blocks and, moreover, the successful copolymer synthesis. The overall data showed that the different co-polymer compositions result directly in severe changes in the polymer crystal distribution and, indirectly, the formation of PBAd micro/nano domains surrounded by PLLA. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that both the continuity of the two polymers throughout the copolymer volume and the semicrystalline morphology can be tuned to a wide extent. The latter makes these systems quite promising envisaging biomedical applications, including the encapsulation of small molecules, e.g. drug solutions. The molecular mobility map was constructed for these systems for the first time, revealing the local (short scale) and segmental (larger nm scale) mobility of PBAd and PLLA, as well as intermediate behaviors of the copolymers.

CURRENT NANOSCIENCE 2020; 16:723-733. [DOI: 10.2174/1573413716666200203115101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2019] [Revised: 04/22/2019] [Accepted: 01/16/2020] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
Background:
Paclitaxel and spirulina when administered as nanoparticles, are potentially
useful.
Methods:
Nanoformualtions of Paclitaxel and Spirulina for gastric cancer were formulated and optimized
with Central composite rotatable design (CCRD) using Response surface methodology
(RSM).
Results:
The significant findings were the optimal formulation of polymer concentration 48 mg,
surfactant concentration 45% and stirring time of 60 min gave rise to the EE of (98.12 ± 1.3)%, DL
of (15.61 ± 1.9)%, mean diameter of (198 ± 4.7) nm. The release of paclitaxel and spirulina from the
nanoparticle matrix at pH 6.2 was almost 45% and 80% in 5 h and 120 h, respectively. The oral
bioavailability for the paclitaxel spirulina nanoparticles developed is 24.0% at 10 mg/kg paclitaxel
dose, which is 10 times of that for oral pure paclitaxel. The results suggest that RSM-CCRD could
efficiently be applied for the modeling of nanoparticles. The paclitaxel and spirulina release rate in
the tumor cells may be higher than in normal cells. Paclitaxel spirulina nanoparticle formulation may
have higher bioavailability and longer sustainable therapeutic time as compared with pure paclitaxel.
Conclusion:
Paclitaxel-Spirulina co-loaded nanoparticles could be effectively useful in gastric cancer
as chemotherapeutic formulation.
