Shady NH, Mokhtar FA, Abdullah HS, Abdel-Aziz SA, Mohamad SA, Imam MS, El Afify SR, Abdelmohsen UR. In Vitro and Randomized Controlled Clinical Study of Natural Constituents' Anti-HPV Potential for Treatment of Plantar Warts Supported with In Silico Studies and Network Analysis. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:759. [PMID: 38931426 PMCID: PMC11206833 DOI: 10.3390/ph17060759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the anti-HPV potential of a Moringa olifera Lam seed, Nigella sativa L. seed, and Musa Acuminata peel herbal mixture in the form of polymer film-forming systems. A clinical trial conducted in outpatient clinics showed that the most significant outcome was wart size and quantity. Compared to the placebo group, the intervention group's size and number of warts were considerably better according to the results. Chemical profiling assisted by LC-HRMS led to the dereplication of 49 metabolites. Furthermore, network pharmacology was established for the mixture of three plants; each plant was studied separately to find out the annotated target genes, and then, we combined all annotated genes of all plants and filtered the genes to specify the genes related to human papilloma virus. In a backward step, the 24 configured genes related to HPV were used to specify only 30 compounds involved in HPV infection based on target genes. CA2 and EGFR were the top identified genes with 16 and 12 edges followed by PTGS2, CA9, and MMP9 genes with 11 edges each. A molecular docking study for the top active identified compounds of each species was conducted in the top target HPV genes, CA2 and EGFR, to investigate the mode of interaction between these compounds and the targets' active sites.

Chitosan based-nanoparticles and nanocapsules: Overview, physicochemical features, applications of a nanofibrous scaffold, and bioprinting. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 167:1176-1197. [PMID: 33197477 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.11.072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 71] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Revised: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Recent advancements in the synthesis, properties, and applications of chitosan as the second after cellulose available biopolymer in nature were discussed in this review. A general overview of processing and production procedures from A to Z was highlighted. Chitosan exists in three polymorphic forms which differ in degree of crystallinity (α, β, and γ). Thus, the degree of deacetylation, crystallinity, surface area, and molecular mass significantly affect most applications. Otherwise, the synthesis of chitosan nanofibers is suffering from many drawbacks that were recently treated by co-electrospun with other polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene oxide (PEO), and polycaprolactone (PCL). Ultimately, this review focuses on the area of new trend utilization of chitosan nanoparticles as nanospheres and nanocapsules, in cartilage and bone regenerative medicine. Owing to its biocompatibility, bioavailability, biodegradability, and costless synthesis, chitosan is a promising biopolymeric structure for water remediation, drug delivery, antimicrobials, and tissue engineering.

Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12112460. [PMID: 33114217 PMCID: PMC7690870 DOI: 10.3390/polym12112460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 10/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel and green method for the preparation of chitosan derivatives bearing organic acids was reported in this paper. In order to improve the antioxidant activity of chitosan, eight different hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan derivatives were successfully designed and synthesized via introducing of organic acids onto chitosan by mild and non-toxic ion exchange. The data of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), 1H NMR, and elemental analysis for chitosan derivatives indicated the successful conjugation of organic acid salt with hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC). Meanwhile, the antioxidant activity of the chitosan derivatives was evaluated in vitro. The results indicated that the chitosan derivatives possessed dramatic enhancements in DPPH-radical scavenging activity, superoxide-radical scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging ability, and reducing power. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was investigated in vitro on L929 cells and showed low cytotoxicity. Thus, the enhanced antioxidant property of all novel chitosan products might be a great advantage, while applied in a wide range of applications in the form of antioxidant in biomedical, food, and cosmetic industry.

Abstract
Chitosan is an innate cationic biological polysaccharide polymer, naturally obtained from chitin deacetylation, that possesses broad-spectrum properties such as antibacterial, biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxic, non-immunogenicity, and so on. Chitosan can be easily modified owing to its molecular chain that contains abundant active amino and hydroxyl groups, through various modifications. Not only does it possess excellent properties but it also greatly accelerates its solubility and endows it with additional special properties. It can be developed into bioactive materials with innovative properties, functions, and multiple uses, especially in the biomedical fields. In this paper, the unique properties and the relationship between the molecular structure of chitosan and its derivatives are emphasized, an overview of various excellent biomedical properties of chitosan and its current progress in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical field have prospected, to provide the theoretical basis for better development and utilization of new biomedical materials of chitosan and its derivatives.

Abstract
In this study, 2-urea-chitosan oligosaccharide derivatives (2-urea-COS derivatives) and 2,6-diurea-chitosan oligosaccharide derivatives (2,6-diurea-COS derivatives) were successfully designed and synthesized via intermediate 2-methoxyformylated chitosan oligosaccharide. All samples were characterized and compared based on FT-IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The antifungal effects of COS derivatives were tested against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, Phomopsis asparagus, and Botrytis cinereal. Their antioxidant properties, including superoxide radicals' scavenging activity, hydroxyl radicals' scavenging activity, and DPPH radicals' scavenging activity were also explored within different concentrations. COS derivatives bearing urea groups showed improved bioactivity compared with pristine COS and 2,6-diurea-COS derivatives had a higher biological activity than 2-urea-COS derivatives in tested concentrations. Additionally, L929 cells were used to carry out cytotoxicity test of COS and COS derivatives by CCK-8 assay. The results indicated that some of samples showed low cytotoxicity. These findings offered a suggestion that COS derivatives bearing urea groups are promising biological materials.

Formulation, Development and Scale-Up of Fixed-Dose Combination Tablets Containing Zidovudine, Lamivudine and Nevirapine. Curr HIV Res 2019; 17:360-367. [DOI: 10.2174/1570162x17666190927162155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2019] [Revised: 09/05/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Background:
The development of antiretroviral associations in a single dosage form aims
to ensure improved efficacy, low costs and better adherence to treatment.
Objective:
This work performed the pharmacotechnical development, coating, and stability studies
of fixed-dose combination tablets of zidovudine, lamivudine and nevirapine (300 + 200 + 150 mg,
respectively).
Methods:
Qualitative and quantitative planning of diluents (101 and 250 microcrystalline cellulose,
spray-dried monohydrate lactose and corn starch) and coating polymers (Opadry white II HP® and
Instacoat Aqua Moistshield II®) were analyzed, and direct compression (DC) and wet granulation
(WG) methods were tested aiming the development of the pharmaceutical form. Quality control was
carried out according to the specifications set by official compendia. The chosen formulation was
scaled-up and the industrial batches were submitted to accelerated and long-term stability studies.
Results:
The batches obtained by WG met the requirements, using 101 microcrystalline cellulose,
corn starch and Opadry white II HP®
as excipients. The DC trial was not possible due to the need of
a greater ratio of excipients to improve formulation properties.
Conclusion:
Thus, this study brings a new therapeutic alternative for HIV treatment, contributing to
the development of another possibility to simplify drug administration.
