Abstract
Hemolytic behavior of a series of different categories of Gemini surfactants was determined in their low concentration range. Cationic Gemini surfactants of different molecular architectures prove to be highly cytotoxic even at 0.1 mM. Anionic and amino acid-based Gemini surfactants were minimally cytotoxic, although their toxicity was concentration-dependent. With respect to monomeric surfactants of comparable hydrocarbon chain lengths, cationic Gemini surfactants were much more toxic than anionic Gemini surfactants. Incubation temperature was another important parameter that significantly drove the hemolysis irrespective of the molecular structure of the surfactant. Results indicated that the surface activity or liquid-blood cell membrane adsorption tendency of a surfactant molecule determined the degree of hemolytic anemia. Greater surface activity induced greater cytotoxicity, especially when the surfactant possessed a stronger ability to interact with the membrane proteins through hydrophilic interactions. That provided cationic Gemini surfactants a higher ability for hemolytic anemia because they were able to interact with an electronegative cell membrane with favorable interactions in comparison to anionic or amino acid-based Gemini surfactants. These findings are expected to help in designing surface-active drugs with a suitable molecular architecture that can avoid hemolytic anemia.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally with an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018 and a sustained rise in its incidence in both developing and developed countries. According to the WHO, about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer. Despite the emergence of many pioneer therapeutic options for patients with cancer, their efficacy is still time-limited and noncurative. Thus, continuous intensive screening for superior and safer drugs is still ongoing and has resulted in the detection of the anticancer properties of several phytochemicals. Among the spices, Crocus sativus L. (saffron) and its main constituents, crocin, crocetin, and safranal, have attracted the interest of the scientific community. Pharmacological experiments have established numerous beneficial properties for this brilliant reddish-orange dye derived from the flowers of a humble crocus family species. Studies in cultured human malignant cell lines and animal models have demonstrated the cancer prevention and antitumor activities of saffron and its main ingredients. This review provides an insight into the advances in research on the anticancer properties of saffron and its components, discussing preclinical data, clinical trials, and patents aiming to improve the pharmacological properties of saffron and its major ingredients.

Abstract
The heavy burden of oral diseases such as oral cancers, dental caries, periodontitis, etc. and their consequence on the patient's quality of life demonstrated an urgent demand for developing effective therapeutics. Quercetin as a natural derived flavonoid, could be utilized in the therapeutic formulation of various diseases such as diabetes, breast cancer and asthma, owing to its prominent pharmacological values. In the last decade, the applications of quercetin as a natural compound in oral treatment have attracted increasing interest due to its multifunction including antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic activities. Besides, considering the low bioavailability of quercetin, great efforts have been made in its drug delivery systems to address the problem of limited application. Therefore, this review summarized the cutting-edge researches on versatile effects and enhanced bioavailability of quercetin resulting from innovative drug delivery systems, particularly focused on its potential against oral diseases. The application of quercetin would provide novel and promising therapeutic approach for clinical treatment, promoting the development of global dental public health.

Pharmaceutical excipient salts effect on micellization and drug solubilization of PEO-PPO-ph-PPO-PEO block copolymer. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2020; 189:110857.

Abstract
Hydrophobic modification PEO-PPO copolymer BP123 was synthesized, with two aromatic rings in the centre linked to PEO-PPO blocks, and the identical PEO and PPO block numbers were possessed with commercial copolymer P123. The influence of three common pharmaceutical excipient salts sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium citrate (NaCA) and sodium benzoate (NaBZ) on self-assembly behaviors of BP123 and P123 was investigated via cloud point, surface tension, pyrene fluorescence and dynamic light scattering. Solubilization for hydrophobic drug simvastatin (SV) and in vitro drug release behavior were assessed accordingly. In the presence of NaCl or NaCA, cloud point and critical micellization concentration (CMC) decreased, micelles became more hydrophobic, micellar size and drug solubilization increased, drug release rate slowed, and the impact of NaCA was more significant than NaCl. Oppositely, cloud point and CMC increased with the addition of NaBZ. NaBZ could participate in the formation of micelles by hydrophobic aromatic ring, which greatly raised solubilization of SV. Moreover, a different performance occurred when NaBZ was added to BP123 or P123, due to the hydrophobic benzene rings in BP123, which prominently enhanced the interaction with hydrophobic drug, leading to obvious delay of drug release for BP123. This work is conducive to turning copolymer property in diverse pharmaceutical applications and in drug delivery systems as drug carriers.
