[PMID: 37453520 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
The non-scientific disposal of antibiotics has resulted in massive contamination of the bioactive molecules in the aquatic ecosystem. The presence of antibiotics in the effluents limits the biodegradation of micropollutants by affecting the micro-ecological balance. Hence this study aims to remove doxycycline antibiotics from wastewater using biochar. Elemental analysis of the biochar revealed C, Si and N as most abundant content while BET analysis confirmed the mesoporous nature of the adsorbent. The XRD and Raman spectra confirmed amorphic sp2 carbon dominant structure in the biochar. The adsorption mechanism was predicted, correlating the charge distribution and FTIR analysis. The effects of different process parameters were studied using CCD, ANOVA, and RSM. Moreover, the different kinetic models revealed that the pseudo-second-order kinetics model was the best fit and film layer diffusion was the dominant contributor. The isotherm study indicated the high adsorption capacity of the biochar and its non-ionic nature. Thermodynamics study established the spontaneity and exothermic nature. The results suggested no significant change in antibiotic removal efficiency across different system (pond water (97.13%), river water (98.11%), seawater (96.84%), tap water (99.13%), and distilled water (99.74%)). For the desorption of the antibiotic from the biochar surface, 90% ethanol was the most efficient (98.9%), and upon recrystallization by solvent evaporation, 98.7% of the antibiotic of the initial load was recovered. Hence, the implementation of this described process would enable resource recovery along with water treatment, which is not possible with existing approaches. The cost analysis of the whole process revealed that biochar preparation was the bulk expense and the process would be self-sustainable even if the price of the recovered antibiotic would be set at less than half ($41/kg) of the current market price ($94/kg) of the API. Thus, the process endorses a successful circular economy approach toward societal and economic sustainability.

Abstract
Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient's risk factors and the debridement of supra and subgingival biofilm. This debridement can be performed with or without the use of some adjuvant therapies, including physical or chemical agents, host modulating agents, subgingivally locally delivered antimicrobials, or systemic antimicrobials. Therefore, the main aim of this article is to review in a narrative manner the existing literature regarding the adjuvant application of local agents, either subgingivally delivered antibiotics and antiseptics or supragingivally applied rinses and dentifrices, during the different steps in periodontal therapy performed in Europe.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a persistent inflammation of the soft tissue around the teeth that affects 60% of the population in the globe. The self-maintenance of the inflammatory process can cause periodontal damage from the alveolar bone resorption to tooth loss in order to contrast the effects of periodontitis, the main therapy used is scaling and root planing (SRP). At the same time, studying the physiopathology of periodontitis has shown the possibility of using a local drug delivery system as an adjunctive therapy. Using local drug delivery devices in conjunction with SRP therapy for periodontitis is a potential tool since it increases drug efficacy and minimizes negative effects by managing drug release. This review emphasized how the use of local drug delivery agents and natural agents could be promising adjuvants for the treatment of periodontitis patients affected or not by cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other system problems. Moreover, the review evidences the current issues and new ideas that can inspire potential later study for both basic research and clinical practice for a tailored approach.

Abstract
The excessive inappropriate use of systemic antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, which pose a significant risk to the success of treatment. This study has approached this problem by developing doxycycline-loaded liposome doped with curcumin (NL-Cur+Dox) for combination antibacterial therapy against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. The characterization of formulation revealed encapsulation of both drugs in NL-Cur+Dox with an average size of 239 nm and sustained release behavior. Transmission electron microscopy analysis confirmed the vesicular-shaped nanocarriers without any aggregation or crystallization. The cytotoxic and hemolytic activities of NL-Cur+Dox were evaluated. The anti-biofilm and anti-metabolic effects of NL-Cur+Dox -mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) were examined. The data indicated that NL-Cur+Dox -mediated aPDT led to a significant reduction of biofilm (82.7%, p = 0.003) and metabolic activity (75%, p < 0.001) of A. actinomycetemcomitans compared to the control. NL-Cur+Dox had no significant cytotoxicity to human gingival fibroblast cells under selected conditions (p = 0.074). In addition, the hemolytic activity of NL-Cur+Dox were negligible (< 5%). These findings demonstrate the potential application of such potent formulations in reducing one of the main bacteria causing periodontitis where the NL-Cur+Dox could be exploited to achieve an improved phototherapeutic efficiency.

Abstract
Mathematical models are used to characterize and optimize drug release in drug delivery systems (DDS). One of the most widely used DDS is the poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based polymeric matrix owing to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and easy manipulation of its properties through the manipulation of synthesis processes. Over the years, the Korsmeyer-Peppas model has been the most widely used model for characterizing the release profiles of PLGA DDS. However, owing to the limitations of the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, the Weibull model has emerged as an alternative for the characterization of the release profiles of PLGA polymeric matrices. The purpose of this study was to establish a correlation between the n and β parameters of the Korsmeyer-Peppas and Weibull models and to use the Weibull model to discern the drug release mechanism. A total of 451 datasets describing the overtime drug release of PLGA-based formulations from 173 scientific articles were fitted to both models. The Korsmeyer-Peppas model had a mean Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) value of 54.52 and an n value of 0.42, while the Weibull model had a mean AIC of 51.99 and a β value of 0.55, and by using reduced major axis regression values, a high correlation was found between the n and β values. These results demonstrate the ability of the Weibull model to characterize the release profiles of PLGA-based matrices and the usefulness of the β parameter for determining the drug release mechanism.

Abstract
Nowadays, among 3rd generation drug delivery systems, biodegradable polymeric based long-acting injectable depot has achieved tremendous success in clinical application. So far, there have been two dozen of commercial products of Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres available in the market. Recently, continuous manufacturing concept has been successfully applied on oral solid formulation from buzzword to reality. However, the polymeric injectable microspheres are still stayed at batch manufacturing phase due to the lack of understanding of knowledge matrix. In this study, micro-mixer as a plug-and-play emulsification modules, Raman spectroscopy and focused beam reflectance measurement as real-time monitoring modules are integrated into a novel semi-continuous manufacturing streamline to provides more efficient upscaling flexibility in microspheres production. In this end to end semi-continuous manufacturing process, amphiphilic block polymer monomethoxy-poly (ethylene glycol) modified PLGA (mPEG-PLGA) was used for encapsulating Gallic acid. Additionally, with guarantee of good robustness, the correlation relationship between critical process parameters, critical material attributes and critical quality attributes were investigated. The time-space evolution process and mechanism for formation of PEG-PLGA microsphere with particular morphology were elaborated. Altogether, this study firstly established semi-continuous manufacturing streamline for PLGA/PEG-PLGA microspheres, which would not only lower the cost of production, narrow process variability and smaller equipment/environmental footprint but also applied in-process control (IPC) and QbD principle on complicated production process of microspheres. Therefore, this study build confidence in the industrial development of PLGA/PEG-PLGA microspheres and establish best practice standards, which might be a quantum leap for developing PLGA microspheres in the future.

Physical and Functional Characterization of PLGA Nanoparticles Containing the Antimicrobial Peptide SAAP-148. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032867. [PMID: 36769188 PMCID: PMC9918011 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Synthetic antimicrobial and antibiofilm peptide (SAAP-148) commits significant antimicrobial activities against antimicrobial resistant (AMR) planktonic bacteria and biofilms. However, SAAP-148 is limited by its low selectivity index, i.e., ratio between cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity, as well as its bioavailability at infection sites. We hypothesized that formulation of SAAP-148 in PLGA nanoparticles (SAAP-148 NPs) improves the selectivity index due to the sustained local release of the peptide. The aim of this study was to investigate the physical and functional characteristics of SAAP-148 NPs and to compare the selectivity index of the formulated peptide with that of the peptide in solution. SAAP-148 NPs displayed favorable physiochemical properties [size = 94.1 ± 23 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) = 0.08 ± 0.1, surface charge = 1.65 ± 0.1 mV, and encapsulation efficiency (EE) = 86.7 ± 0.3%] and sustained release of peptide for up to 21 days in PBS at 37 °C. The antibacterial and cytotoxicity studies showed that the selectivity index for SAAP-148 NPs was drastically increased, by 10-fold, regarding AMR Staphylococcus aureus and 20-fold regarding AMR Acinetobacter baumannii after 4 h. Interestingly, the antibiofilm activity of SAAP-148 NPs against AMR S. aureus and A. baumannii gradually increased overtime, suggesting a dose-effect relationship based on the peptide's in vitro release profile. Using 3D human skin equivalents (HSEs), dual drug SAAP-148 NPs and the novel antibiotic halicin NPs provided a stronger antibacterial response against planktonic and cell-associated bacteria than SAAP-148 NPs but not halicin NPs after 24 h. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed the presence of SAAP-148 NPs on the top layers of the skin models in close proximity to AMR S. aureus at 24 h. Overall, SAAP-148 NPs present a promising yet challenging approach for further development as treatment against bacterial infections.

Abstract
As the clinical complications induced by microbial infections are known to have life-threatening side effects, conventional anti-infective therapy is necessary, but not sufficient to overcome these issues. Some of their limitations are connected to drug-related inefficiency or resistance and pathogen-related adaptive modifications. Therefore, there is an urgent need for advanced antimicrobials and antimicrobial devices. A challenging, yet successful route has been the development of new biostatic or biocide agents and biomaterials by considering the indisputable advantages of biopolymers. Polymers are attractive materials due to their physical and chemical properties, such as compositional and structural versatility, tunable reactivity, solubility and degradability, and mechanical and chemical tunability, together with their intrinsic biocompatibility and bioactivity, thus enabling the fabrication of effective pharmacologically active antimicrobial formulations. Besides representing protective or potentiating carriers for conventional drugs, biopolymers possess an impressive ability for conjugation or functionalization. These aspects are key for avoiding malicious side effects or providing targeted and triggered drug delivery (specific and selective cellular targeting), and generally to define their pharmacological efficacy. Moreover, biopolymers can be processed in different forms (particles, fibers, films, membranes, or scaffolds), which prove excellent candidates for modern anti-infective applications. This review contains an overview of antimicrobial polyester-based formulations, centered around the effect of the dimensionality over the properties of the material and the effect of the production route or post-processing actions.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in regulating gene expression and are considered new molecular targets in bone tissue engineering. However, effective delivery of miRNAs to the defect areas and transfection of the miRNAs into osteogenic progenitor cells has been an obstacle in the application. In this work, miRNA-218 (miR-218) was used as an osteogenic miRNA regulator, and a multifunctional peptide-conjugated gene carrier poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-g-polyethylenimine-b-polyethylene glycol-R9-G4-IKVAVW (PPP-RGI) was developed to condense with miR-218 to form PPP-RGI/miR-218 complexes that were further encapsulated into monodisperse injectable microspheres for enhanced bone regeneration. The PPP-RGI was synthesized via conjugating R9-G4-IKVAVW (RGI), a multifunctional peptide, onto poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-g-polyethylenimine-b-polyethylene glycol (PPP). A microfluidic and synchronous photo-cross-linking process was further developed to encapsulate the PPP-RGI/miR-218 complexes into monodisperse gelatin methacryloyl microspheres. The monodisperse microspheres controlled the delivery of PPP-RGI/miR-218 to the designated defect site, and PPP-RGI facilitated the transfection of miR-218 into osteogenic progenitor cells. An in vivo calvarial defect model showed that the PPP-RGI/miR-218-loaded microspheres significantly enhanced bone tissue regeneration. This work provides a novel approach to effectively deliver miRNA and transfect targeting cells in vivo for advanced regenerative therapies.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the feasibility of the 3D printed scaffold for periapical bone defects. Methods In this study, antimicrobial peptide KSL-W-loaded PLGA sustainable-release microspheres (KSL-W@PLGA) were firstly prepared followed by assessing the drug release behavior and bacteriostatic ability against Enterococcus faecalis and Porphyromonas gingivalis. After that, we demonstrated that KSL-W@PLGA/collagen (COL)/silk fibroin (SF)/nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) (COL/SF/nHA) scaffold via 3D-printing technique exhibited significantly good biocompatibility and osteoconductive property. The scaffold was characterized as to pore size, porosity, water absorption expansion rate and mechanical properties. Moreover, MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded into sterile scaffold materials and investigated by CCK-8, SEM and HE staining. In the animal experiment section, we constructed bone defect models of the mandible and evaluated its effect on bone formation. The Japanese white rabbits were killed at 1 and 2 months after surgery, the cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) and micro-CT scanning, as well as HE and Masson staining analysis were performed on the samples of the operation area, respectively. Data analysis was done using ANOVA and LSD tests. (α = 0.05). Results We observed that the KSL-W@PLGA sustainable-release microspheres prepared in the experiment were uniform in morphology and could gradually release the antimicrobial peptide (KSL-W), which had a long-term antibacterial effect for at least up to 10 days. HE staining and SEM showed that the scaffold had good biocompatibility, which was conducive to the adhesion and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells. The porosity and water absorption of the scaffold were (81.96 ± 1.83)% and (458.29 ± 29.79)%, respectively. Histological and radiographic studies showed that the bone healing efficacy of the scaffold was satisfactory. Conclusions The KSL-W@PLGA/COL/SF/nHA scaffold possessed good biocompatibility and bone repairing ability, and had potential applications in repairing infected bone defects. Clinical significance The 3D printed scaffold not only has an antibacterial effect, but can also promote bone tissue formation, which provides an alternative therapy option in apical periodontitis.

Abstract
The state-of-the-art sustained drug delivery systems are related to features to improve pharmacological transport through a controlled ratio between drug release and the desired therapeutic effect. Microspheres of biodegradable polymers, such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), play an important role in these approaches, directing the release in a specific region of interest. In this way, the encapsulation of doxycycline (DOX) as a microbial agent turns the PLGA microspheres into a potential device for the treatment of topic oral diseases. Thus, this work aimed to produce DOX-loaded PLGA microspheres and see how they interfered with mesenchymal stem cell viability and in the sustained release in antimicrobial assays. Scanning electron microscopy showed the spherical microstructured pattern, revealing assorted sized distribution, with major diameters ranging 1–3 µm. The encapsulation efficiency presented a mean of 80% in both methods to obtain the microspheres (sonication and magnetic rotation). The DOX release test revealed a gradual and continuous profile of 30–40% between 120 and 168 h. Mesenchymal stem cells cultured in PLGA with or without DOX at several concentrations revealed no effect on the cell metabolic activity. Striking morphology changes were observed by confocal microscopy after 1 to 3 days under culture. The live/dead assay indicated that when microsphere densities were increased (from 10 to 100 µg/mL) cultured cells presented an internalized pattern of microspheres in both groups of PLGA containing DOX or not, while slight cell death signals were identified nearby microsphere clusters. Microbiological assays performed by the agar diffusion test pointed out that an inhibition zone was identified in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) cultures at earlier times of DOX release. Despite the well-known use of PLGA as a drug delivery vehicle, when synthesized with DOX, it presents both characteristics of the desired treatment to prevent healthy tissue damage while avoiding bacterial growth in a microenvironment with anatomical features, such as grooves, projections, and other tough conditions that favor the development of oral diseases.

Design of Smart Nanomedicines for Effective Cancer Treatment. Int J Pharm 2022; 621:121791. [PMID: 35525473 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Nanomedicine is a novel field of study that involves the use of nanomaterials to address challenges and issues that are associated with conventional therapeutics for cancer treatment including, but not limited to, low bioavailability, low water-solubility, narrow therapeutic window, nonspecific distribution, and multiple side effects of the drugs. Multiple strategies have been exploited to reduce the nonspecific distribution, and thus the side effect of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), including active and passive targeting strategies and externally controllable release of the therapeutic cargo. Site-specific release of the drug prevents it from impacting healthy cells, thereby significantly reducing side effects. API release triggers can be either externally applied, as in ultrasound-mediated activation, or induced by the tumor. To rationally design such nanomedicines, a thorough understanding of the differences between the tumor microenvironment versus that of healthy tissues must be pared with extensive knowledge of stimuli-responsive biomaterials. Herein, we describe the characteristics that differentiate tumor tissues from normal tissues. Then, we introduce smart materials that are commonly used for the development of smart nanomedicines to be triggered by stimuli such as changes in pH, temperature, and enzymatic activity. The most recent advances and their impact on the field of cancer therapy are further discussed.

Abstract
Over recent decades, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) based nano- and micro- drug delivery vehicles have been rapidly developed since PLGA was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Common factors that influence PLGA particle properties have been extensively studied by researchers, such as particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), surface morphology, zeta potential, and drug loading efficiency. These properties have all been found to be key factors for determining the drug release kinetics of the drug delivery particles. For drug delivery applications the drug release behavior is a critical property, and PLGA drug delivery systems are still plagued with the issue of burst release when a large portion of the drug is suddenly released from the particle rather than the controlled release the particles are designed for. Other properties of the particles can play a role in the drug release behavior, such as the glass transition temperature (Tg). The Tg, however, is an underreported property of current PLGA based drug delivery systems. This review summarizes the basic knowledge of the glass transition temperature in PLGA particles, the factors that influence the Tg, the effect of Tg on drug release behavior, and presents the recent awareness of the influence of Tg on drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease that affects tooth-supporting soft/hard tissues of the dentition. The dental plaque biofilm is considered as a primary etiological factor in susceptible patients; however, other factors contribute to progression, such as diabetes and smoking. Current management utilizes mechanical biofilm removal as the gold standard of treatment. Antibacterial agents might be indicated in certain conditions as an adjunct to this mechanical approach. However, in view of the growing concern about bacterial resistance, alternative approaches have been investigated. Currently, a range of antimicrobial agents and protocols have been used in clinical management, but these remain largely non-validated. This review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of adjunctive antibiotic use in periodontal management and to compare them to recently suggested alternatives. Evidence from in vitro, observational and clinical trial studies suggests efficacy in the use of adjunctive antimicrobials in patients with grade C periodontitis of young age or where the associated risk factors are inconsistent with the amount of bone loss present. Meanwhile, alternative approaches such as photodynamic therapy, bacteriophage therapy and probiotics showed limited supportive evidence, and more studies are warranted to validate their efficiency.

Abstract
Core-shell microspheres hold great promise as a drug delivery system because they offer several benefits over monolithic microspheres in terms of release kinetics, for instance a reduced initial burst release, the possibility of delayed (pulsatile) release, and the possibility of dual-drug release. Also, the encapsulation efficiency can significantly be improved. Various methods have proven to be successful in producing these core-shell microspheres, both the conventional bulk emulsion solvent evaporation method and methods in which the microspheres are produced drop by drop. The latter have become increasingly popular because they provide improved control over the particle characteristics. This review assesses various production methods for core-shell microspheres and summarizes the characteristics of formulations prepared by the different methods, with a focus on their release kinetics.

[PMID: 34884657 PMCID: PMC8658019 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222312852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
This study deals with the process of optimization and synthesis of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) microspheres with encapsulated Cl-amidine. Cl-amidine is an inhibitor of peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs), a group of calcium-dependent enzymes, which play critical roles in a number of pathologies, including autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as cancer. While Cl-amidine application has been assessed in a number of in vitro and in vivo models; methods of controlled release delivery remain to be investigated. P(3HB) microspheres have proven to be an effective delivery system for several compounds applied in antimicrobial, wound healing, cancer, and cardiovascular and regenerative disease models. In the current study, P(3HB) microspheres with encapsulated Cl-amidine were produced in a size ranging from ~4–5 µm and characterized for surface morphology, porosity, hydrophobicity and protein adsorption, in comparison with empty P(3HB) microspheres. Cl-amidine encapsulation in P(3HB) microspheres was optimized, and these were found to be less hydrophobic, compared with the empty microspheres, and subsequently adsorbed a lower amount of protein on their surface. The release kinetics of Cl-amidine from the microspheres were assessed in vitro and expressed as a function of encapsulation efficiency. There was a burst release of ~50% Cl-amidine in the first 24 h and a zero order release from that point up to 16 days, at which time point ~93% of the drug had been released. As Cl-amidine has been associated with anti-cancer effects, the Cl-amidine encapsulated microspheres were assessed for the inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in the mammalian breast cancer cell line SK-BR-3, including in the presence of the anti-proliferative drug rapamycin. The cytotoxicity of the combinatorial effect of rapamycin with Cl-amidine encapsulated P(3HB) microspheres was found to be 3.5% more effective within a 24 h period. The cells treated with Cl-amidine encapsulated microspheres alone, were found to have 36.5% reduction in VEGF expression when compared with untreated SK-BR-3 cells. This indicates that controlled release of Cl-amidine from P(3HB) microspheres may be effective in anti-cancer treatment, including in synergy with chemotherapeutic agents. Using controlled drug-delivery of Cl-amidine encapsulated in Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) microspheres may be a promising novel strategy for application in PAD-associated pathologies.

Abstract
Bacterial infections constitute a threat to public health as antibiotics are becoming less effective due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistant strains and biofilm and persister formation. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered excellent alternatives to antibiotics; however, they suffer from limitations related to their peptidic nature and possible toxicity. The present review critically evaluates the chemical characteristics and antibacterial effects of lipid and polymeric AMP delivery systems and coatings that offer the promise of enhancing the efficacy of AMPs, reducing their limitations and prolonging their half-life. Unfortunately, the antibacterial activities of these systems and coatings have mainly been evaluated in vitro against planktonic bacteria in less biologically relevant conditions, with only some studies focusing on the antibiofilm activities of the formulated AMPs and on the antibacterial effects in animal models. Further improvements of lipid and polymeric AMP delivery systems and coatings may involve the functionalization of these systems to better target the infections and an analysis of the antibacterial activities in biologically relevant environments. Based on the available data we proposed which polymeric AMP delivery system or coatings could be profitable for the treatment of the different hard-to-treat infections, such as bloodstream infections and catheter- or implant-related infections.

Abstract
Vectors and carriers play an indispensable role in gene therapy and drug delivery. Non-viral vectors are widely developed and applied in clinical practice due to their low immunogenicity, good biocompatibility, easy synthesis and modification, and low cost of production. This review summarized a variety of non-viral vectors and carriers including polymers, liposomes, gold nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes from the aspects of physicochemical characteristics, synthesis methods, functional modifications, and research applications. Notably, non-viral vectors can enhance the absorption of cargos, prolong the circulation time, improve therapeutic effects, and provide targeted delivery. Additional studies focused on recent innovation of novel synthesis techniques for vector materials. We also elaborated on the problems and future research directions in the development of non-viral vectors, which provided a theoretical basis for their broad applications.

Abstract
PLGA (Lactic- co-glycolic acid) coated chitosan microspheres loaded with hydroxyapatite and doxycycline hyclate complex were developed in the present study for periodontal delivery. A modified single emulsion method was adopted for the development of microspheres. Formulation was optimized on the basis of particle size, drug loading and encapsulation efficiency with the central composite design using 23 factorial design. Microspheres were optimized and electron microscopy revealed their spherical shape and porous nature. In-vitro study showed initial burst and then sustained release behavior of the formulation for 14 days. Further, in-vitro antibacterial study performed on E. coli (ATCC-25922) and S. aureus (ATCC-29213) revealed concentration dependent activity. Also, in-vitro cyto-toxicity assessment ensures biocompatibility of the formulation with the fibroblast's cells. Overall, the quality by design assisted PLGA microspheres, demonstrated the desired attributes and were found suitable for periodontal drug delivery.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding and supporting the teeth, which causes periodontal structural damage, alveolar bone resorption, and even tooth loss. Its prevalence is very high, with nearly 60% of the global population affected. Hence, periodontitis is an important public health concern, and the development of effective healing treatments for oral diseases is a major target of the health sciences. Currently, the application of local drug delivery systems (LDDS) as an adjunctive therapy to scaling and root planning (SRP) in periodontitis is a promising strategy, giving higher efficacy and fewer side effects by controlling drug release. The cornerstone of successful periodontitis therapy is to select an appropriate bioactive agent and route of administration. In this context, this review highlights applications of LDDS with different properties in the treatment of periodontitis with or without systemic diseases, in order to reveal existing challenges and future research directions.

Abstract
This study explores the feasibility of modifying the surface liquid spraying method to prepare porous bioscaffolds intended for wound dressing applications. For this purpose, gentamicin sulfate was loaded into polylactide-polyvinyl alcohol bioscaffolds as a highly soluble (hygroscopic) model drug for in vitro release study. Moreover, the influence of inorganic salts including NaCl (10 g/L) and KMnO4 (0.4 mg/L), and post-thermal treatment (T) (80 °C for 2 min) on the properties of the bioscaffolds were studied. The bioscaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. In addition, other properties including porosity, swelling degree, water vapor transmission rate, entrapment efficiency, and the release of gentamicin sulfate were investigated. Results showed that high concentrations of NaCl (10 g/L) in the aqueous phase led to an increase of around 68% in the initial burst release due to the increase in porosity. In fact, porosity increased from 68.1 ± 1.2 to 94.1 ± 1.5. Moreover, the thermal treatment of the Polylactide-polyvinyl alcohol/NaCl (PLA-PVA/NaCl) bioscaffolds above glass transition temperature (Tg) reduced the initial burst release by approximately 11% and prolonged the release of the drug. These results suggest that thermal treatment of polymer above Tg can be an efficient approach for a sustained release.

Abstract
Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is the most prevalent polymer drug delivery vehicle in use today. There are about 20 commercialized drug products in which PLGA is used as an excipient. In more than half of these formulations, PLGA is used in the form of microparticles (with sizes in the range between 60 nm and 100 μm). The primary role of PLGA is to control the kinetics of drug release toward achieving sustained release of the drug. Unfortunately, most drug-loaded PLGA microparticles exhibit a common drawback: an initial uncontrolled burst of the drug. After 30 years of utilization of PLGA in controlled drug delivery systems, this initial burst drug release still remains an unresolved challenge. In this Review, we present a summary of the proposed mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon and the known factors affecting the burst release process. Also, we discuss examples of recent efforts made to reduce the initial burst release of the drug from PLGA particles.

Experimental Studies and Modeling of the Degradation Process of Poly(Lactic- co-Glycolic Acid) Microspheres for Sustained Protein Release. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12092042. [PMID: 32911693 PMCID: PMC7569845 DOI: 10.3390/polym12092042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 09/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres (PLGA MS)for controlled protein release by double emulsion-solvent evaporation were produced and characterized for their morphological and technological features. MS autocatalytic degradation was described by a mathematical model based on a Michaelis and Menten-like chemical balance. Here, for the first time MS degradation was correlated to the advancement of MS degradation front with respect to the degraded radius, derived from mass loss experiments. The model can satisfactorily describe the kinetics of advancement of the degradation front experimentally derived for all MS formulations, especially when produced at higher PLGA concentrations.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, electrospun nanofibers have been actively explored for a range of applications, including those related to biomedicine, environmental science, energy harvesting, catalysis, photonics, and electronics. Regarding biomedical applications, one can readily produce nanofiber-based scaffolds with controlled compositions, structures, alignments, and functions by varying the material, design of collector, number of spinnerets, and electrospinning parameters. This report highlights both preclinical and translational applications of electrospun nanofibers and bioprinted constructs presented at the 2019 International Conference on Electrospinning, together with some perspectives on their future development.

In-situ forming implants for the treatment of periodontal diseases: Simultaneous controlled release of an antiseptic and an anti-inflammatory drug. Int J Pharm 2019; 572:118833. [PMID: 31715363 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2019.118833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2019] [Revised: 10/23/2019] [Accepted: 10/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Different types of in-situ forming implants based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) for the controlled dual release of an antiseptic drug (chlorhexidine) and an anti-inflammatory drug (ibuprofen) were prepared and thoroughly characterized in vitro. N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) was used as water-miscible solvent, acetyltributyl citrate (ATBC) as plasticizer and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) was added to enhance the implants' stickiness/bioadhesion upon formation within the periodontal pocket. Different drug forms exhibiting substantially different solubilities were used: chlorhexidine dihydrochloride and digluconate as well as ibuprofen free acid and lysinate. The initial drug loadings were varied from 1.5 to 16.1%. In vitro drug release, dynamic changes in the pH of the surrounding bulk fluid and in the systems' wet mass as well as polymer degradation were monitored. Importantly, the release of both drugs, chlorhexidine and ibuprofen, could effectively be controlled simultaneously during several weeks. Interestingly, the tremendous differences in the drug forms' solubilities (e.g., factor >5000) did not translate into major differences in the resulting release kinetics. In the case of ibuprofen, this can likely (at least in part) be attributed to significant drug-polymer interactions (ibuprofen acts as a plasticizer for PLGA). In the case of chlorhexidine, the release of the much less soluble dihydrochloride was even faster compared to the more soluble digluconate (when combined with ibuprofen free acid). In the case of ibuprofen, at higher initial drug loadings also limited solubility effects within the implants seem to play a role, in contrast to chlorhexidine. In the latter case, instead, increased system porosity effects likely dominate at higher drug loadings.
