[PMID: 38244732 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
Effective loading and delivering the wound healing-based materials to the wound site and area with an optimum concentration and limited cytotoxicity are essential for a complete and fast healing process. Here, we have designed Zn/Al-LDH nanoparticles-loaded CMC films for encapsulation and delivery of gallic acid (GA) in order to develop an effective and efficient wound-healing scaffold. The physicochemical properties of the prepared Zn/Al-LDH nanohybrids were thoroughly characterized by several characterization techniques, such as FESEM, Hi-TEM, FTIR, and XRD techniques. The thermal properties of the scaffolds were evaluated by DSC and TGA analysis. The release profiles of GA from fabricated films were studied over 8 h by UV-vis spectroscopy. In vitro drug release studies in PBS solutions with pH 7.4 showed a mono-phasic profile in which the liberation of the drug mainly occurred by scaffold erosion and increased by increasing the experiment period. The in vitro antibacterial activity of Zn/Al-LDH-GA-loaded CMC films was assessed by disk diffusion and cell viability contact tests. The results showed the desired antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. Incorporating GA within CMC and CMC-Zn/Al-LDH films rereleased good cytocompatibility at the studied incubation time and different concentrations toward human normal HFF cell line than the free drug. The results of the present study indicated that the Zn/Al-LDH and Zn/Al-LDH-GA-loaded CMC have promising wound healing features to further develop a better future for clinical remedy of the different non-healing and hard-to-heal wounds.

[PMID: 37392214 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04813-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023]
Abstract
Combining the unique advantages of two-dimensional transition metal carbon/nitrogen compounds (MXene) and the excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance of noble metal materials, MXene/Ag NPs films were proposed as nanocarriers for SERS-traceable drug delivery. The films were prepared by two-step self-assembly on positively charged silicon wafers using virtue of the high evaporation of ethyl acetate, the Marangoni effect, and an oil/water/oil three-phase system. With 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) as the probe molecule, the SERS detection limit was 10-8 M and had shown a good linear relationship in the range of 10-8-10-3 M. Simultaneously, the film had good uniformity, repeatability, and stability. When Ti3C2Tx/Ag NPs films were used as nanocarriers, the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded onto the surface through 4-MBA, and the tracking and monitoring were realized by SERS. The addition of glutathione (GSH) triggered the thiol exchange reaction, resulting in the shedding of 4-MBA from the surface of the film, which indirectly achieved the efficient release of DOX. Furthermore, the loading of DOX and the drug release effect triggered by GSH maintained a certain stability in serum, which provided a potential possibility for the subsequent loading and release of drugs by films with three-dimensional structures as scaffolds in biological therapy. Self-assembled MXene/Ag NPs film nanocarriers for SERS-traceable drug delivery and GSH-triggered high-efficiency drug release.

Abstract
The newly-emerged pathological conditions and increased rates of drug resistance necessitate application of the state-of-the-art technologies for accelerated discovery of the therapeutic candidates and obtaining comprehensive knowledge about their targets, action mechanisms, and interactions within the body including those between the receptors and drugs. Using the physics- and chemistry-based modern techniques for theranostic purposes, preparing smart carriers, local delivery of genes or drugs, and enhancing pharmaceutical bioavailability could be of great value against the hard-to-treat diseases and growing drug resistance. Besides the artificial intelligence- and quantum-based techniques, crystal engineering capable of designing new molecules with appropriate characteristics, improving the stability and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs, and efficient carrier development could play a crucial role in manufacturing efficient pharmaceuticals and reducing the adverse events. In this context, identifying the structures and behaviors of crystals and predicting their characteristics are of great value. Electron diffraction by accelerated analysis of the chemicals and sensitivity to charge alterations, electromechanical tools for controlled delivery of therapeutics, mechatronics via fabrication of multi-functional smart products including the organ-on-chip devices for healthcare applications, and optomechatronics by overcoming the limitations of conventional biomedical techniques could address the unmet biomedical requirements and facilitate development of more effective theranostics with improved outcomes.

Abstract
Infectious diseases (ID) are serious threats against the global health and socio-economic conditions. Vaccination usually plays a key role in disease prevention, however, insufficient efficiency or immunogenicity may be quite challenging. Using the advanced vectors for delivery of vaccines with suitable efficiency, safety, and immune-modulatory activity, and tunable characteristics could be helpful, but there are no systematic reviews confirming the capabilities of the vaccine delivery systems for covering various types of pathogens. Furthermore, high rates of the infections, transmission, and fatal ratio and diversity of the pathogens and infection mechanisms may negatively influence vaccine effectiveness. The absence of highly-effective antibiotics against the resistant strains of bacteria and longevity of antibiotic testing have provoked increasing needs towards the application of more accurate and specific theranostic strategies including the nanotechnology-based ones. Nanobionics which is based on the charge storage and transport in the molecular structures, could be of key value in the molecular diagnostic tests and highly-specific electro-analytical methods or devices. Such devices based on the early disease diagnostics might be of critical significance against various types of diseases. This article highlights the significance of nanobionics against ID.

Abstract
Colon cancer (CC) is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Insufficient drug concentration, non-specificity, or serious adverse effects of the conventional chemotherapeutic agents necessitate application of more effective treatment options. Herein, poly-ursolic acid, a polymer with anticancer effect, has been self-assembled for producing nanoparticles (NPs) for delivery of irinotecan (IRN) which is usually associated with poor solubility and severe adverse effects. NPs showed therapeutic efficiency by themselves in vivo and in vitro. IRN-loaded NPs with appropriate physicochemical characteristics, released IRN in a controlled fashion and demonstrated more efficient cytotoxicity, lower clearance rate and distribution volume, higher Cmax and AUC, prolonged t1/2, increased accumulation in tumor, and therapeutic effects in vivo as compared to free drug. There was no significant alteration of body weight or damage to the major organs. The prepared bioactive nanoplatform via improvement of IRN efficiency could be applied for inducing synergistic toxicity against CC.

Abstract
A grand family of two-dimensional (2D) materials and their heterostructures have been discovered through the extensive experimental and theoretical efforts of chemists, material scientists, physicists, and technologists. These pioneering works contribute to realizing the fundamental platforms to explore and analyze new physical/chemical properties and technological phenomena at the micro-nano-pico scales. Engineering 2D van der Waals (vdW) materials and their heterostructures via chemical and physical methods with a suitable choice of stacking order, thickness, and interlayer interactions enable exotic carrier dynamics, showing potential in high-frequency electronics, broadband optoelectronics, low-power neuromorphic computing, and ubiquitous electronics. This comprehensive review addresses recent advances in terms of representative 2D materials, the general fabrication methods, and characterization techniques and the vital role of the physical parameters affecting the quality of 2D heterostructures. The main emphasis is on 2D heterostructures and 3D-bulk (3D) hybrid systems exhibiting intrinsic quantum mechanical responses in the optical, valley, and topological states. Finally, we discuss the universality of 2D heterostructures with representative applications and trends for future electronics and optoelectronics (FEO) under the challenges and opportunities from physical, nanotechnological, and material synthesis perspectives.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) with high metastasis rates has been known as a major cause of death worldwide. Lack of the specificity and insufficient concentrations of traditional chemotherapeutics at tumor site and their severe adverse effects necessitate development of new treatment strategies such as designing suitable nanocarriers for delivery of drugs, improving their pharmacological profiles and reducing adverse effects. We have developed a platform based on the poly-ursolic acid (poly-UA), a polymeric system with potential anticancer effect. Following the self-assembly of poly-UA into the nanoparticles (NPs), they were applied for delivery of mithramycin A (Mith-A), a promising candidate for CRC therapy, however, with some limitations such as rapid clearance and serious side effects. Mith-A-loaded poly-UA NPs with suitable physicochemical properties and efficient drug entrapment, released Mith-A in a controlled manner and provided suitable toxicity against the CT-26 colorectal cancer cells, increased accumulation in tumor, and protection against the detrimental features of the disease. Poly-UA NPs demonstrated therapeutic efficiency (in vivo and in vitro) by themselves. The prepared NPs induced no remarkable alteration of body weights or damages to the major organs in animals bearing tumor indicating the safety of NPs. The bioactive nanoformulation along with improving the pharmacological profile of Mith-A could provide a synergistic toxicity against the CRC.
