Abstract
A novel phospholipid-based nanovesicle (PBN) was developed to encapsulate (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major polyphenol in green tea, to mask its bitter taste and expand its application in food products. The PBN was formed using W/O emulsion-transfer methods and showed a multilayer membrane nanovesicle structure (around 200 nm) observed with TEM. The PBN possessed a high encapsulation efficiency (92.1%) for EGCG. The bitterness of EGCG was significantly reduced to 1/12 after encapsulation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated the EGCG mainly interacted with the upper chain/glycerol/head group region of the lipid bilayerin PBN. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) showed the addition of γ-cyclodextrin in PBN enhanced EGCG's adsorption with phospholipids and allowed for its good sustained release. Encapsulating EGCG in PBN inhibited its complexation with mucin, reducing bitterness and astringency. This provides a new method to improve EGCG's flavor, potentially expanding its application in the food industry.

Abstract
Liposomal vesicles tend to fuse and aggregate during lyophilization. To avoid these events, cryoprotectants are added to the dispersion before lyophilization. Herein, we have compared the effect of three commonly used cryoprotectants (mannitol, MTL; trehalose, THL; and β-cyclodextrin, β-CD) upon structural characteristics of liposomes. The formulation was prepared using ethanol injection method, and cryoprotectants were tested at three dose levels (2, 6, and 10 mM). We have elucidated their effect on soy lecithin (SL) liposomes formulated with and without cholesterol (CHL). Characterizations were performed using scattering, thermal, and spectroscopic techniques. CHL molecules interacted hydrophobically with the SL bilayer. In spite of triggering a noticeable increase in the hydrodynamic diameter (about 30 nm), CHL promoted the stabilization of vesicles. Hydrogen bonding interactions were verified by the shift in -OH stretching over 3300-3500 cm-1. This manifested in an increased phase transition temperature (Tm) of SL liposomes. Tm increased further upon incorporation of cryoprotectants, particularly with β-CD. Enthalpic changes were indicative of an affinity interaction between phospholipids and cryoprotectants, regardless of the presence of CHL. β-CD showed concentration-dependent changes in the energetics of this interaction. The affinity of cryoprotectant-liposome interaction has been ranked as β-CD ≫ THL > MNT.

Abstract
Natural antimicrobials have recently gained increasing interest over synthetic antimicrobials to overcome foodborne pathogens and food microbial contamination. Essential oils (EOs) obtained from Boswellia sacra resins (BO) were utilized for respiratory disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, malignant tumors, and viral infections. Like other EOs, the therapeutic potential of BO is hindered by its low solubility and bioavailability, poor stability, and high volatility. Several studies have shown excellent physicochemical properties and outstanding therapeutic capabilities of EOs encapsulated into various nanocarriers. This study extracted BO from B. sacra resins via hydrodistillation and encapsulated it into hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrins (HPβCD) using the freeze-drying method. The developed inclusion complexes of BO (BO-ICs) had high encapsulation efficiency (96.79 ± 1.17%) and a polydispersity index of 0.1045 ± 0.0006. BO-ICs showed presumably spherical vesicles (38.5 to 59.9 nm) forming multiple agglomerations (136.9 to 336.8 nm), as determined by UHR-TEM. Also, the formation and stability of BO-ICs were investigated using DSC, FTIR, FE-SEM, UHR-TEM, 1H NMR, and 2D HNMR (NOESY). BO-ICs showed greater thermal stability (362.7 °C). Moreover, compared to free BO, a remarkable enhancement in the antimicrobial activities of BO-ICs was shown against three different bacteria: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. BO-ICs displayed significant antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with an MIC90 of 3.93 mg mL-1 and an MIC50 of 0.57 mg mL-1. Also, BO-ICs showed an increase in BO activity against Escherichia coli with an MIC95 of 3.97 mg mL-1, compared to free BO, which failed to show an MIC95. Additionally, BO-ICs showed a more significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC95 of 3.92 mg mL-1. BO encapsulation showed significantly improved antimicrobial activities owing to the better stability, bioavailability, and penetration ability imparted by encapsulation into HPβCD.

Beilstein J Org Chem 2023; 19:1570-1579. [PMID: 37915555 PMCID: PMC10616703 DOI: 10.3762/bjoc.19.115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are known for their ability to extract lipid components from synthetic and biological membranes and therefore to induce an increase of membrane permeability. However, the effect of cholesterol (CHOL) content in the membrane on the CD permeabilizing effect was not considered yet. Given that an increase in CHOL content reduces the membrane permeability, the aim of this work was to reveal how CHOL would modulate the CDs effect on the membrane. Hence, liposomes made of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and various CHOL contents (DPPC/CHOL 100:10, 100:25, 100:50, and 100:100) encapsulating the hydrophilic fluorophore, sulforhodamine B (SRB), were prepared and exposed to the native CDs (α-CD, β-CD, γ-CD) and four β-CD derivatives: the randomly methylated-β-CD (RAMEB), the low methylated-β-CD (CRYSMEB), the hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HP-β-CD) and the sulfobutyl ether-β-CD (SBE-β-CD) at different CD/DPPC molar ratios (1:1, 10:1, and 100:1). The membrane permeability was monitored following the release of SRB with time. The results demonstrated that the CDs effect on the membrane depends on the CD type, CD concentration, and membrane CHOL content. The investigated CDs exhibited an instantaneous permeabilizing effect promoting vesicle leakage of SRB from the various membranes; this effect increased with CDs concentration. Among the studied CDs, α-CD, β-CD, and RAMEB were the most permeabilizing CDs on the different membranes. Similar modifications of SRB release from the various liposomal formulations were obtained with HP-β-CD, CRYSMEB, and SBE-β-CD. γ-CD was the less potent CD in affecting the membrane permeability. The CDs effect also depended on the CHOL content: at the CD/DPPC molar ratio (100:1), RAMEB and β-CD considerably permeabilized the membrane of high CHOL content (50%, 100%) while the remaining CDs showed a decreasing permeabilizing effect upon CHOL content membrane increase.

Effect of oligosaccharides as lyoprotectants on the stability of curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes during lyophilization. Food Chem 2023; 410:135436.

Abstract
Nanoliposome is a promising delivery system, whereas its commercial application is limited by the structural instability, cargo leakage and particles aggregation during the processing such as freeze-drying. In this study, the effect of four oligosaccharides, fructo-oligosaccharides, lactose, inulin and sucrose (control), on the physicochemical properties, structural stability, and in vitro semi-dynamic digestion behavior of curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes were investigated before and after lyophilization. The results showed that the addition of the oligosaccharides inhibited the changes in particle size and reduced curcumin leakage from lyophilized nanoliposomes. Oligosaccharides significantly improved the physical stability of lyophilized nanoliposomes and delayed curcumin release during in vitro digestion. In addition, oligosaccharides could decrease the hydrophobicity of liposomal membrane and the tightness of phospholipid molecule arrangement, with the increase in micropolarity and fluidity of the bilayer membranes. These results suggested that fructo-oligosaccharides, lactose and inulin could be effective lyoprotectants for lyophilized nanoliposomes.

Abstract
As a plant-derived pentacyclic triterpenoid, β-amyrin has been heterogeneously synthesized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, β-amyrin is intracellularly produced in a lower gram scale using recombinant S. cerevisiae, which limits the industrial applications. Although many strategies have been proven to be effective to improve the production of β-amyrin, the intracellularly accumulation is still a challenge in reaching higher titer and simplifying the extraction process. To solve this problem, the amphiphilic β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) has been previously employed to aid the efflux of β-amyrin out of the cells. Nevertheless, the supplemented β-CD in the medium is not consistent with β-amyrin synthesis and has the disadvantage of rather high cost. Therefore, an aided-efflux system based on in situ synthesis of β-CD was developed in this study to enhance the biosynthesis of β-amyrin and its efflux. The in situ synthesis of β-CD was started from starch by the surface displayed cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) on yeast cells. As a result, the synthesized β-CD could capture 16% of the intracellular β-amyrin and improve the total production by 77%. Furthermore, more strategies including inducing system remodeling, precursor supply enhancement, two-phase fermentation and lipid synthesis regulation were employed. Finally, the production of β-amyrin was increased to 73 mg/L in shake flask, 31 folds higher than the original strain, containing 31 mg/L of extracellular β-amyrin. Overall, this work provides novel strategies for the aided-efflux of natural products with high hydrophobicity in engineered S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Bicalutamide (BCL) is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug that represents an alternative to castration in the treatment of prostate cancer, due to its relatively long half-life and tolerable side effects. However, it possesses a very low water solubility that can affect its oral bioavailability. In this work, we developed inclusion complexes of BCL with the highly soluble hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CyD) and sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CyD) to increase the water solubility and anticancer activity of BCL. The inclusion complexes were prepared using the freeze-drying method and were then characterized in a solid state via differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray analysis and in solution via phase-solubility studies and UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy. The BCL/HP-β-CyD and BCL/SBE-β-CyD inclusion complexes were amorphous and rapidly dissolved in water. Both the 1H-NMR spectra and molecular modeling studies confirmed the penetration of the 2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile ring of BCL within the cavity of both cyclodextrins (CyDs). Due to the consistent improvement of the water solubility of BCL, the inclusion complexes showed higher antiproliferative activity toward the human prostate androgen-independent cell lines, DU-145 and PC-3, with respect to free BCL. These results demonstrate the ability of HP-β-CyD and SBE-β-CyD to complex BCL, permitting the realization of liquid formulations with potentially high oral bioavailability and/or possible parenteral administration.

Abstract
Galactosyltransferase (GalT) is an important enzyme in synthesizing exopolysaccharide (EPS), the major polymer of biofilms protecting cells from severe conditions. However, the contribution to, and regulatory mechanism of GalT, in stressor resistance are still unclear. Herein, we successfully overexpressed GalT in Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM by genetic engineering. The GalT activity and freeze-drying survival rate of the recombinant strain were significantly enhanced. The EPS yield also increased by 17.8%, indicating a positive relationship between freeze-drying resistance and EPS. RNA-Seq revealed that GalT could regulate the flux of the membrane transport system, pivotal sugar-related metabolic pathways, and promote quorum sensing to facilitate EPS biosynthesis, which enhanced freeze-drying resistance. The findings concretely prove that the mechanism of GalT regulating EPS biosynthesis plays an important role in protecting lactic acid bacteria from freeze-drying stress.

Abstract
Due to the unstable chemical properties and poor water solubility of carotenoids, their processing adaptation and oral bioavailability are poor, limiting their application in hydrophilic food systems. Lipid-biomacromolecular compounds can be excellent carriers for carotenoid delivery by taking full advantage of the solubilization of lipids to non-polar nutrients and the water dispersion and gastrointestinal controlled release properties of biomacromolecules. This paper reviewed the research progress of lipid-biomacromolecular compounds as encapsulation and delivery carriers of carotenoids and summarized the material selection and preparation methods for biomacromolecular compounds. By considering the interaction between the two, this paper briefly discussed the effect of these compounds on carotenoid water solubility, stability, and bioavailability, emphasizing their delivery effect on carotenoids. Finally, various challenges and future trends of lipid-biomacromolecular compounds as carotenoid delivery carriers were discussed, providing new insight into efficient loading and delivery of carotenoids.

ABSTRACT This study was conducted to determine the sterilization effect of a combination of high pressure thermal sterilization (HPTS) and ε-polylysine (ε-PL) on Bacillus subtilis spores. The spores were treated with HPTS (550 MPa at 25, 65, and 75°C) and ε-PL at 0.1 and 0.3%. HPTS and ε-PL synergistically decreased the number of surviving spores and increased the release of the intracellular components in the spore suspension, with the maximal effects from treatment with 550 MPa at 75°C plus 0.3% ε-PL. Maximum fluidity and permeability of the cell inner membrane were observed with 550 MPa at 75°C plus 0.3% ε-PL. Changes in membrane lipids were detected from 3,000 to 2,800 cm-1 by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results provide new insights into the mechanism by which HPTS and ε-PL synergistically sterilize B. subtilis spores. HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
We report a radially and azimuthally polarized (raPol) microscope for high detection and estimation performance in single-molecule orientation-localization microscopy (SMOLM). With 5000 photons detected from Nile red (NR) transiently bound within supported lipid bilayers (SLBs), raPol SMOLM achieves 2.9 nm localization precision, 1.5° orientation precision, and 0.17 sr precision in estimating rotational wobble. Within DPPC SLBs, SMOLM imaging reveals the existence of randomly oriented binding pockets that prevent NR from freely exploring all orientations. Treating the SLBs with cholesterol-loaded methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD-chol) causes NR's orientational diffusion to be dramatically reduced, but curiously NR's median lateral displacements drastically increase from 20.8 to 75.5 nm (200 ms time lag). These jump diffusion events overwhelmingly originate from cholesterol-rich nanodomains within the SLB. These detailed measurements of single-molecule rotational and translational dynamics are made possible by raPol's high measurement precision and are not detectable in standard SMLM.

Abstract
The essential oil component α-pinene has multiple biological activities. However, its application is limited owing to its volatility, low aqueous solubility, and chemical instability. For the aim of improving its physicochemical properties, α-pinene was encapsulated in conventional liposomes (CLs) and drug-in-cyclodextrin-in-liposomes (DCLs). Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin/α-pinene (HP-β-CD/α-pinene) inclusion complexes were prepared in aqueous solution, and the optimal solubilization of α-pinene occurred at HP-β-CD:α-pinene molar ratio of 7.5:1. The ethanol-injection method was applied to produce different formulations using saturated (Phospholipon 90H) or unsaturated (Lipoid S100) phospholipids in combination with cholesterol. The size, the phospholipid and cholesterol incorporation rates, the encapsulation efficiency (EE), and the loading rate (LR) of α-pinene were determined, and the storage stability of liposomes was assessed. The results showed that α-pinene was efficiently entrapped in CLs and DCLs with high EE values. Moreover, Lipoid S100 CLs displayed the highest LR (22.9 ± 2.2%) of α-pinene compared to the other formulations. Both carrier systems HP-β-CD/α-pinene inclusion complex and Lipoid S100 CLs presented a gradual release of α-pinene. Furthermore, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of α-pinene was maintained upon encapsulation in Lipoid S100 CLs. Finally, it was found that all formulations were stable after three months of storage at 4 °C.

Abstract
Encapsulation of cargoes in nanocontainers is widely used in different fields to solve the problems of their solubility, homogeneity, stability, protection from unwanted chemical and biological destructive effects, and functional activity improvement. This approach is of special importance in biomedicine, since this makes it possible to reduce the limitations of drug delivery related to the toxicity and side effects of therapeutics, their low bioavailability and biocompatibility. This review highlights current progress in the use of lipid systems to deliver active substances to the human body. Various lipid compositions modified with amphiphilic open-chain and macrocyclic compounds, peptide molecules and alternative target ligands are discussed. Liposome modification also evolves by creating new hybrid structures consisting of organic and inorganic parts. Such nanohybrid platforms include cerasomes, which are considered as alternative nanocarriers allowing to reduce inherent limitations of lipid nanoparticles. Compositions based on mesoporous silica are beginning to acquire no less relevance due to their unique features, such as advanced porous properties, well-proven drug delivery efficiency and their versatility for creating highly efficient nanomaterials. The types of silica nanoparticles, their efficacy in biomedical applications and hybrid inorganic-polymer platforms are the subject of discussion in this review, with current challenges emphasized.

Abstract
In this work, the effects of simvastatin (SIM), (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) and their complex (SIM:HPβCD) on the structure and properties of lipid membranes were investigated for the first time by Langmuir technique combined with PM-IRRAS spectroscopy. An improved understanding of the differences of the interactions between free SIM, and SIM in the form of an inclusion complex with HPβCD with the lipid membrane will improve the development of preparation methods for in vivo applications. Monolayers of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC), cholesterol (Chol) and their mixture DMPC:Chol (7:3) served as simple models of one leaflet of the cell membrane. The penetration of well-organized lipid layers by simvastatin lead to their fluidization but the extent of this unwanted effect was smaller when the drug was delivered in the form of the SIM:HPβCD complex. Surface pressure vs. time dependencies showed that the drug encapsulated with cyclodextrin dissociated from the complex upon contact with the lipid layer and the weak interactions between the exterior polar part of the HPβCD and the polar headgroups of the lipid layer facilitated smooth incorporation of the released lipophilic drug into the membrane. At a longer time-scale, the HPβCD ligand released from the complex removed some cholesterol, but not DMPC, from the lipid layer, hence, similarly to the enzyme inhibiting action of statins - it lead to the decrease of the amount of cholesterol in the membrane. Delivery of simvastatin in the form of an inclusion complex with HPβCD is proposed as an approach improving its bioavailability in the cholesterol-lowering therapies.

Abstract
Complexation with cyclodextrins (CDs) has been widely and successfully used in pharmaceutical field, mainly for enhancing solubility, stability and bioavailability of a variety of drugs. However, some important drawbacks, including rapid removal from the bloodstream after in vivo administration, or possible replacement, in biological media, of the entrapped drug moieties by other molecules with higher affinity for the CD cavity, can limit the CDs effectiveness as drug carriers. This review is focused on combined strategies simultaneously exploiting CD complexation, and loading of the complexed drug into various colloidal carriers (liposomes, niosomes, polymeric nanoparticles, lipid nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, micelles) which have been investigated as a possible means for circumventing the problems associated with both such carriers, when used separately, and join their relative benefits in a unique delivery system. Several examples of applications have been reported, to illustrate the possible advantages achievable by such a dual strategy, depending on the CD-nanocarrier combination, and mainly resulting in enhanced performance of the delivery system and improved biopharmaceutical properties and therapeutic efficacy of drugs. The major problems and/or drawbacks found in the development of such systems, as well as the (rare) case of failures in achieving the expected improvements have also been highlighted.

Abstract
Beta-lapachone (β-Lap) is an anticancer drug activated by the NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), an enzyme over-expressed in a large variety of tumors. B-Lap is poorly soluble in water and in most biocompatible solvents. Micellar systems, liposomes and cyclodextrins (CDs) have been proposed for its solubilization. In this work, we analyzed the properties and in vitro efficacy of β-Lap loaded in polymer nanoparticles, liposome bilayers, complexed with sulfobutyl-ether (SBE)- and hydroxypropyl (HP)-β cyclodextrins, or double loaded in phospholipid vesicles. Nanoparticles led to the lowest drug loading. Encapsulation of [β-Lap:CD] complexes in vesicles made it possible to slightly increase the encapsulation rate of the drug in liposomes, however at the cost of poor encapsulation efficiency. Cytotoxicity tests generally showed a higher sensitivity of NIH 3T3 and PNT2 cells to the treatment compared to PC-3 cells, but also a slight resistance at high β-Lap concentrations. None of the studied β-Lap delivery systems showed significant enhanced cytotoxicity against PC-3 cells compared to the free drug. Cyclodextrins and double loaded vesicles, however, appeared more efficient drug delivery systems than liposomes and nanoparticles, combining both good solubilizing and cytotoxic properties. Ligand-functionalized double loaded liposomes might allow overcoming the lack of selectivity of the drug.

Abstract
The potential use of liposomes as carriers for food active ingredients can be limited by their physical and chemical instabilities in aqueous dispersions, especially for long-term storage. Lyophilization, a process commonly used in the food industry, can also be applied to stabilize and preserve liposomes and to extend their shelf-life. In this work, liposomes with potential use for designing functional foods were prepared with soy phospholipids and rutin. Homogenization and ultrasound were used for particle size reduction. Liposomal stability was evaluated by Dynamic Light Scattering, microscopy and rheological properties. Spherical and unilamellar liposomes were obtained in this work. Zeta potential (ξ = values were around -40 mV), which indicates a great suspension stability even for more than 30 days of storage. Rutin exerted a protective effect by both preventing damage to the liposome bilayer and maintaining the spherical structure after 56 days of storage. Lyophilization caused an increase in the size of the vesicles, reaching sizes around 419 nm and aggregation of vesicles with probably structural damage after 21 storage days. However, it helped to keep the rutin encapsulated (81.9%) for longer time, when compared to refrigerated liposomes. Rheological measurements showed, in general, that the power law model fitted most of the experimental results and dynamic rheological tests showed a sol-gel phase transition between 35 and 45 °C. Lyophilization caused a significant change in all evaluated rheological parameters. For the in vitro release tests, the liposomal bilayer acted as a barrier for the rutin release to the food simulating medium; therefore, the release rate of the antioxidant from the rutin encapsulated liposome was slow compared to the free rutin release rate.

Abstract
Given the successful entry of several liposomal drug products into market, and some with decades of clinical efficacy, liposomal drug delivery systems have proven capabilities to overcome certain limitations of traditional drug delivery, especially for toxic and biologic drugs. This experience has helped promote new liposomal approaches to emerging drug classes and current therapeutic challenges. All approved liposomal dosage forms are parenteral formulations, a pathway demonstrating greatest safety and efficacy to date. Due to the intrinsic instability of aqueous liposomal dispersions, lyophilization is commonly applied as an important solution to improve liposomal drug stability, and facilitate transportation, storage and improve product shelf-life. While lyophilization is a mature pharmaceutical technology, liposome-specific lyophilization platforms must be developed using particular lyophilization experience and strategies. This review provides an overview of liposome formulation-specific lyophilization approaches for parenteral use, excipients used exclusively in liposomal parenteral products, lyophilized liposome formulation design and process development, long-term storage, and current regulatory guidance for liposome drug products. Readers should capture a comprehensive understanding of formulation and process variables and strategies for developing parenterally administered liposomal drugs.

Abstract
Liposomes loaded with drug–cyclodextrin complexes are widely used as drug delivery systems, especially for species with low aqueous solubility and stability. Investigation of the intimate interactions of macrocycles with liposomes are essential for formulation of efficient and stable drug-in-cyclodextrin-in-liposome carriers. In this work, we reported the preparation of unilamellar vesicles of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) embedded with native β-cyclodextrin and two synthetic derivatives: heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TMCD) and heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DACD). We then studied the effect of these macrocycles on the liposomal size, membrane viscosity, and liposomal stability at different temperatures and concentrations. We observed that TMCD and DACD affected vesicle size and the change of size was related to CD concentration. Irrespective of its nature, the macrocycle established interactions with the phospholipidic head groups, preventing cyclodextrins to diffuse into the lipid bilayer, as confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations. Such supramolecular structuring improves liposome stability making these colloid systems promising carriers for biologically active compounds.

Novel Findings about Double-Loaded Curcumin-in-HPβcyclodextrin-in Liposomes: Effects on the Lipid Bilayer and Drug Release. Pharmaceutics 2018; 10:pharmaceutics10040256. [PMID: 30513858 PMCID: PMC6321242 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics10040256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2018] [Revised: 11/20/2018] [Accepted: 11/21/2018] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, the encapsulation of curcumin (Cur) in “drug-in-cyclodextrin-in-liposomes (DCL)” by following the double-loading technique (DL) was proposed, giving rise to DCL–DL. The aim was to analyze the effect of cyclodextrin (CD) on the physicochemical, stability, and drug-release properties of liposomes. After selecting didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) as the cationic lipid, DCL–DL was formulated by adding 2-hydroxypropyl-α/β/γ-CD (HPβCD)–Cur complexes into the aqueous phase. A competitive effect of cholesterol (Cho) for the CD cavity was found, so cholesteryl hemisuccinate (Chems) was used. The optimal composition of the DCL–DL bilayer was obtained by applying Taguchi methodology and regression analysis. Vesicles showed a lower drug encapsulation efficiency compared to conventional liposomes (CL) and CL containing HPβCD in the aqueous phase. However, the presence of HPβCD significantly increased vesicle deformability and Cur antioxidant activity over time. In addition, drug release profiles showed a sustained release after an initial burst effect, fitting to the Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic model. Moreover, a direct correlation between the area under the curve (AUC) of dissolution profiles and flexibility of liposomes was obtained. It can be concluded that these “drug-in-cyclodextrin-in-deformable” liposomes in the presence of HPβCD may be a promising carrier for increasing the entrapment efficiency and stability of Cur without compromising the integrity of the liposome bilayer.

[PMID: 30154315 PMCID: PMC6161153 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics10030139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 124] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2018] [Revised: 08/03/2018] [Accepted: 08/08/2018] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Nowadays, the freeze-drying of liposome dispersions is still necessary to provide a solid dosage form intended for different routes of administration (i.e., parenteral, oral, nasal and/or pulmonary). However, after decades of studies the optimization of process conditions remains still challenging since the freezing and the dehydration destabilize the vesicle organization with the concomitant drug leakage. Starting from the thermal properties of phospholipids, this work reviews the main formulation and process parameters which can guarantee a product with suitable characteristics and increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process. In particular, an overview of the cryo- and/or lyo-protective mechanisms of several excipients and the possible use of co-solvent mixtures is provided. Attention is also focused on the imaging methods recently proposed to characterize the appearance of freeze-dried products and liposome dispersions upon reconstitution. The combination of such data would allow a better knowledge of the factors causing inter-vials variability in the attempt to improve the quality of the final medicinal product.
