Cristelo C, Sá AF, Lúcio M, Sarmento B, Gama FM. Vitamin D loaded into lipid nanoparticles shows insulinotropic effect in INS-1E cells. Eur J Pharm Sci 2024; 196:106758. [PMID: 38570054 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106758] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests a beneficial role of vitamin D (VitD) supplementation in addressing the widespread VitD deficiency, but currently used VitD3 formulations present low bioavailability and toxicity constrains. Hence, poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs), solid-lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) were investigated to circumvent these issues. PLGA NPs prepared by emulsification or nanoprecipitation presented 74 or 200 nm, and association efficiency (AE) of 68 % and 17 %, respectively, and a rapid burst release of VitD3. Both SLN and NLCs presented higher polydispersity and larger NPs size, around 500 nm, which could be reduced to around 200 nm by use of hot high-pressure homogenization in the case of NLCs. VitD3 was efficiently loaded in both SLNs and NLCs with an AE of 82 and 99 %, respectively. While SLNs showed burst release, NLCs allowed a sustained release of VitD3 for nearly one month. Furthermore, NLCs showed high stability with maintenance of VitD3 loading for up to one month at 4 °C and no cytotoxic effects on INS-1E cells up to 72 h. A trending increase (around 30 %) on glucose-dependent insulin secretion was observed by INS-1E cells pre-treated with VitD3. This effect was consistently observed in the free form and after loading on NLCs. Overall, this work contributed to further elucidation on a suitable delivery system for VitD3 and on the effects of this metabolite on β cell function.

Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:260. [PMID: 38254751 PMCID: PMC10813700 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16020260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Oral Mucositis (OM) is the most common side effect due to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which are the conventional treatment options for head and neck cancers. OM is a severe inflammatory condition characterized by multifactorial etiopathogenesis. It further negatively affects patients' quality of life by severe impairment of normal oral functions. Consequently, it is mandatory to identify new effective therapeutic approaches to both prevent and treat OM while also avoiding any recurrence. Polyphenols recently attracted the interest of the scientific community due to their low toxicity and wide range of biological activities making them ideal candidates for several applications in the odontostomatological field, particularly against OM. This review collects the in vivo studies and the clinical trials conducted over the past 13 years evaluating the preventive and curative effects of several polyphenolic compounds towards chemo- and radiotherapy-induced OM, both when administered alone or as a plant-extracted phytocomplex. The literature fully confirms the usefulness of these molecules, thus opening the possibility of their clinical application. However, polyphenol limitations (e.g., unfavourable physicochemical properties and susceptibility to degradation) have emerged. Consequently, the interest of the scientific community should be focused on developing innovative delivery systems able to stabilize polyphenols, thus facilitating topical administration and maximizing their efficacy.

Shi H, Ding C, Yuan J. Effect and Mechanism of Soluble Starch on Bovine Serum Albumin Cold-Set Gel Induced by Microbial Transglutaminase: A Significantly Improved Carrier for Active Substances. Foods 2023; 12:4313. [PMID: 38231786 DOI: 10.3390/foods12234313] [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: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Soluble starch (SS) could significantly accelerate the process of bovine serum albumin (BSA) cold-set gelation by glucono-δ-lactone (GDL) and microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) coupling inducers, and enhance the mechanical properties. Hardness, WHC, loss modulus (G″) and storage modulus (G') of the gel increased significantly, along with the addition of SS, and gelation time was also shortened from 41 min (SS free) to 9 min (containing 4.0% SS); the microstructure also became more and more dense. The results from FTIR, fluorescence quenching and circular dichroism (CD) suggested that SS could bind to BSA to form their composites, and the hydrogen bond was probably the dominant force. Moreover, the ability of SS to bind the original free water in BSA gel was relatively strong, thereby indirectly increasing the concentration of BSA and improving the texture properties of the gel. The acceleration of gelling could also be attributed to the fact that SS reduced the negative charge of BSA aggregates and further promoted the rapid formation of the gel. The embedding efficiency (EE) of quercetin in BSA-SS cold-set gel increased from 68.3% (SS free) to 87.45% (containing 4.0% SS), and a controlled-released effect was detected by simulated gastrointestinal digestion tests. The work could put forward new insights into protein gelation accelerated by polysaccharide, and provide a candidate for the structural design of new products in the food and pharmaceutical fields.

Food Res Int 2023; 168:112728. [PMID: 37120194 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
The anti-solvent precipitation method has been investigated to produce biopolymeric nanoparticles in recent years. Biopolymeric nanoparticles have better water solubility and stability when compared with unmodified biopolymers. This review article focuses on the analysis of the state of the art available in the last ten years about the production mechanism and biopolymer type, as well as the used of these nanomaterials to encapsulate biological compounds, and the potential applications of biopolymeric nanoparticles in food sector. The revised literature revealed the importance to understand the anti-solvent precipitation mechanism since biopolymer and solvent types, as well as anti-solvent and surfactants used, can alter the biopolymeric nanoparticles properties. In general, these nanoparticles have been produced using polysaccharides and proteins as biopolymers, especially starch, chitosan and zein. Finally, it was identified that those biopolymers produced by anti-solvent precipitation were used to stabilize essential oils, plant extracts, pigments, and nutraceutical compounds, promoting their application in functional foods.

Abstract
In contrast to their well-known physiological properties, phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, have been less frequently examined for their physiochemical properties (e.g., surface activity). A natural quercetin self-stabilizing Pickering emulsion was fabricated and characterized in the present study. The antisolvent precipitation method was used to modify quercetin (in dihydrate form), and the obtained particles were characterized by light microscope, atom force microscope, XRD, and contact angle. The antisolvent treatment was found to reduce the particle size, crystallinity, and surface hydrophobicity of quercetin. We then examined the effects of the antisolvent ratio, particle concentration, and oil fraction on the properties of the quercetin particle-stabilized emulsions. In addition, increasing the antisolvent ratio (1:1~1:10) effectively improved the emulsification performance of the quercetin particles. The emulsion showed good storage stability, and the particle size of the emulsion decreased with the rising particle concentration and increased with the rising oil phase ratio. The findings indicate that natural quercetin treated with antisolvent method has a good ability to stabilize Pickering emulsion, and this emulsion may have good prospective application potential for the development of novel and functional emulsion foods.

Abstract
Natural antioxidant polyphenolic compounds obtained from different plants are considered antioxidants for curing various chronic pathological diseases such as cardiovascular disorders and cancer. Quercetin (a polyphenolic flavonol) has attracted much attention from dietitians and medicinal chemists due to its wide variety of pharmacological activities, including anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, anti-carcinogenic, anti-asthmatic, anti-viral, and antioxidant activities. Furthermore, structurally, it is well suited to stabilize emulsions. The present review depicts the important role of the quercetin nanoemulsion technique, used to enhance the solubility of target materials both in vivo and in vitro as well as to decrease the risk of degradation and metabolism of drugs. Researchers have used cryo-TEM to study the morphology of quercetin nanoemulsions. The effects of various parameters such as pH, salts, and solvent concentration on quercetin nanoemulsion have been investigated for quercetin nanoemulsion. Many studies have used UV–Vis spectroscopy and HPLC for the characterization of these particles such as solubility, stability, and encapsulating efficiency.

Abstract
Flavonoids are natural compounds that are attracting great interest in the biomedical field thanks to the wide spectrum of their biological properties. Their employment as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic drugs, as well as for many other pharmacological applications, is extensively investigated. One of the most successful ways to increase their therapeutic efficacy is to encapsulate them into a polymeric matrix in order to control their concentration in the physiological fluids for a prolonged time. The aim of this article is to provide an updated overview of scientific literature on the polymeric systems developed so far for the controlled release of flavonoids. The different classes of flavonoids are described together with the polymers most commonly employed for drug delivery applications. Representative drug delivery systems are discussed, highlighting the most common techniques for their preparation. The flavonoids investigated for polymer system encapsulation are then presented with their main source of extraction and biological properties. Relevant literature on their employment in this context is reviewed in relationship to the targeted pharmacological and biomedical applications.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2022; 102:6273-6284.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein-polysaccharide complexes have been widely used to stabilize high-internal-phase emulsion (HIPEs). However, it is still unknown whether soy protein isolate-dextran (SPI-Dex) complexes can stabilize HIPEs or what is the effect of Dex concentration on the HIPEs. Furthermore, the non-covalent interaction mechanism between SPI and Dex is also unclear. Therefore, we fabricated SPI-Dex complexes and used them to stabilize HIPEs-loaded quercetin and explore the interaction mechanism between SPI and Dex, as well as the effect of Dex concentration on the particle size, ζ-potential, microstructure, rheology, quercetin encapsulation efficiency, and gastrointestinal fate of the HIPEs. RESULTS Spectral analysis (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy) results identified the formation of SPI-Dex complexes, and indicated that the addition of Dex changed the spatial structure of SPI, whereas thermodynamic analysis (ΔH > 0, ΔS > 0) showed that hydrophobic interactions were the main driving forces in the formation of SPI-Dex complexes. Compared with HIPEs stabilized by SPI, the SPI-Dex complex-stabilized HIPEs had smaller particles (3000.33 ± 201.22 nm), as well as higher ζ-potential (-21.73 ± 1.10 mV), apparent viscosities, modulus, and quercetin encapsulation efficiency (98.19 ± 0.14%). In addition, in vitro digestion revealed that SPI-Dex complex-stabilized HIPEs significantly reduced the release of free fatty acid and improved quercetin bioaccessibility. CONCLUSION HIPEs stabilized by SPI-Dex complexes delayed the release of free fat acid and improved the bioaccessibility of quercetin, and may be help in designing delivery systems for bioactive substances with specific properties. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Nowadays, nano/micro-encapsulation as a pioneering technique may significantly improve the bioavailability and durability of Natural bioactives. For this purpose, chitosan as a bioactive cationic natural polysaccharide has been frequently used as a carrier because of its distinct chemical and biological properties, including polycationic nature, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Moreover, polysaccharide-based nano/micro-formulations are a new and extensive trend in scientific research and development in the disciplines of biomedicine, bioorganic/ medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics, agrochemistry, and the food industry. It promises a new paradigm in drug delivery systems and nanocarrier formulations. This review aims to summarize current developments in approaches for designing innovative chitosan micro/nano-matrix, with an emphasis on the encapsulation of natural bioactives. The special emphasis led to a detailed integrative scientific achievement of the functionalities and abilities for encapsulating natural bioactives and mechanisms regulated in vitro/in vivo release in various biological/physiological environments.

Abstract
Flavonoids possess an impressive therapeutic potential, thereby imparting them a nutraceutical character. As it becomes increasingly common to consume foods associated with healing properties, it is imperative to understand the associations of different foods with different classes of nutraceutic compounds, and their mechanisms of therapeutic action. At the same time, it is important to address the limitations thereof so that plausible future directions may be drawn. This review summarizes the food associations of flavonoids, and discusses the mechanisms responsible for imparting them their nutraceutic properties, detailing the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) signaling pathway, inhibition of inflammatory signaling pathways such as toll-like receptor (TLR), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase-2 (LOX-2) mediators. Further on, the review explains the mechanism of flavonoids metabolism, reasons for low bioavailability and thereafter recapitulates the role of technological interventions to overcome the limitations, with a particular focus on nanoformulations that utilize the synergy between flavonoids and biocompatible materials used as nanocarriers, as reported in works spanning over a decade. It is the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) classified carriers that will become the basis for developing functional formulations. It is promisingly noteworthy that some flavonoid formulations have been commercialized and mentioned therein. Such commercially viable and safe for consumption technological applications pave way for bringing science to the table, and add value to the innate properties of flavonoids.

Abstract
In recent years, interest in the development of nanometric materials with specific characteristics has grown; however, there are few scientific contributions that associate encapsulation methodologies and matrices with the particle objective (metabolic directions, type of administration, biological impact, and biocompatibility). This review focuses on describing the benefits and disadvantages of different techniques for designing custom particles and alternatives for the biofunctionalization nanomaterials regarding the biological impact of a nanomaterial with potential use in foods known as nutraceuticals. The study of optical properties, physicochemical factors, and characteristics such as rheological can predict its stability in the application matrix; however, not only should the characterization of a nanocomposite with applications in food be considered, but also the biological impact that it may present.

QbD Supported Optimization of the Alginate-Chitosan Nanoparticles of Simvastatin in Enhancing the Anti-Proliferative Activity against Tongue Carcinoma. Gels 2022; 8:gels8020103.

Abstract
The goal of the current study is to develop a chitosan alginate nanoparticle system encapsulating the model drug, simvastatin (SIM-CA-NP) using a novel polyelectrolytic complexation method. The formulation was optimized using the central composite design by considering the concentrations of chitosan and alginate at five different levels (coded as +1.414, +1, 0, −1, and −1.414) in achieving minimum particle size (PS-Y1) and maximum entrapment efficiency (EE-Y2). A total of 13 runs were formulated (as projected by the Design-Expert software) and evaluated accordingly for the selected responses. On basis of the desirability approach (D = 0.880), a formulation containing 0.258 g of chitosan and 0.353 g of alginate could fulfill the prerequisites of optimum formulation in achieving 142.56 nm of PS and 75.18% EE. Optimized formulation (O-SIM-CAN) was further evaluated for PS and EE to compare with the theoretical results, and relative error was found to be within the acceptable limits, thus confirming the accuracy of the selected design. SIM release from O-SIM-CAN was retarded significantly even beyond 96 h, due to the encapsulation in chitosan alginate carriers. The cell viability study and Caspase-3 enzyme assay showed a notable difference in contrast to that of plain SIM and control group. All these stated results confirm that the alginate-chitosan nanoparticulate system enhanced the anti-proliferative activity of SIM.

Abstract
In our study Voriconazole (VOR) was selected as an active agent to be used for the treatment of ocular fungal infections. To overcome low aqueous solubility of VOR, inclusion complexes with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD), hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrin (HP-CD), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD), methyl-β-cyclodextrin (M-β-CD) and sulfabutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) were formulated. Characterization studies revealed that inclusion complexes were formulated successfully with lyophilization method. Aqueous solubility of VOR was enhanced up to 86 fold with the formation of the inclusion complexes. MTT analyses results revealed the safety of the complexes on 3T3 mouse fibroblast cell lines while Microbroth Dilution Method revealed the remarkable antifungal activities of the complexes.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 96:153890. [PMID: 35026510 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2021.153890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2021] [Revised: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/11/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Herbal Nano Medicines (HNMs) are nano-sized medicine containing herbal drugs as extracts, enriched fractions or biomarker constituents. HNMs have certain advantages because of their increased bioavailability and reduced toxicities. There are very few literature reports that address the common challenges of herbal nanoformulations, such as selecting the type/class of nanoformulation for an extract or a phytochemical, selection and optimisation of preparation method and physicochemical parameters. Although researchers have shown more interest in this field in the last decade, there is still an urgent need for systematic analysis of HNMs. PURPOSE This review aims to provide the recent advancement in various herbal nanomedicines like polymeric herbal nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, phytosomes, nano-micelles, self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system, nanofibers, liposomes, dendrimers, ethosomes, nanoemulsion, nanosuspension, and carbon nanotube; their evaluation parameters, challenges, and opportunities. Additionally, regulatory aspects and future perspectives of herbal nanomedicines are also being covered to some extent. METHODS The scientific data provided in this review article are retrieved by a thorough analysis of numerous research and review articles, textbooks, and patents searched using the electronic search tools like Sci-Finder, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Elsevier, Google Scholar, ACS, Medline Plus and Web of Science. RESULTS In this review, the authors suggested the suitability of nanoformulation for a particular type of extracts or enriched fraction of phytoconstituents based on their solubility and permeability profile (similar to the BCS class of drugs). This review focuses on different strategies for optimising preparation methods for various HNMs to ensure reproducibility in context with all the physicochemical parameters like particle size, surface area, zeta potential, polydispersity index, entrapment efficiency, drug loading, and drug release, along with the consistent therapeutic index. CONCLUSION A combination of herbal medicine with nanotechnology can be an essential tool for the advancement of herbal medicine research with enhanced bioavailability and fewer toxicities. Despite the challenges related to traditional medicine's safe and effective use, there is huge scope for nanotechnology-based herbal medicines. Overall, it is well stabilized that herbal nanomedicines are safer, have higher bioavailability, and have enhanced therapeutic value than conventional herbal and synthetic drugs.

Abstract
Foxtail millet nanoparticles with smaller mean size at ∼130 nm and narrower polydispersity index at ∼0.05 were prepared in citric acid-potassium phosphate buffer (pH 8.0). Through lecithin (Lec)/sodium alginate (Alg) coating, a hydrophobic FP core, a Lec monolayer, and a hydrophilic Alg shell were formed spontaneously. Dissociation experiment revealed that electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding were main driving forces for the formation and maintenance of stable FP-Lec/Alg NPs. In addition, Lec/Alg coated NPs exerted an important role in sustaining the controlled release of the encapsulated quercetin under simulated gastrointestinal tract conditions. Cellular uptake test exhibited that FP-Lec-Alg NPs cold enter epithelial cells in a time-dependent manner, showing the maximum uptake efficiency were 22% and 24%, respectively, after 2 h of incubation. About 220 nm NPs can be recovered by adding 10% (w/v) sucrose. FP-Lec-Alg NPs were found to be promising delivery materials to deliver quercetin and improve its bioavailability.

Abstract
Since its invention, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has come forth as a powerful member of the “scanning probe microscopy” (SPM) family and an unparallel platform for high-resolution imaging and characterization for inorganic and organic samples, especially biomolecules, biosensors, proteins, DNA, and live cells. AFM characterizes any sample by measuring interaction force between the AFM cantilever tip (the probe) and the sample surface, and it is advantageous over other SPM and electron micron microscopy techniques as it can visualize and characterize samples in liquid, ambient air, and vacuum. Therefore, it permits visualization of three-dimensional surface profiles of biological specimens in the near-physiological environment without sacrificing their native structures and functions and without using laborious sample preparation protocols such as freeze-drying, staining, metal coating, staining, or labeling. Biosensors are devices comprising a biological or biologically extracted material (assimilated in a physicochemical transducer) that are utilized to yield electronic signal proportional to the specific analyte concentration. These devices utilize particular biochemical reactions moderated by isolated tissues, enzymes, organelles, and immune system for detecting chemical compounds via thermal, optical, or electrical signals. Other than performing high-resolution imaging and nanomechanical characterization (e.g., determining Young’s modulus, adhesion, and deformation) of biosensors, AFM cantilever (with a ligand functionalized tip) can be transformed into a biosensor (microcantilever-based biosensors) to probe interactions with a particular receptors of choice on live cells at a single-molecule level (using AFM-based single-molecule force spectroscopy techniques) and determine interaction forces and binding kinetics of ligand receptor interactions. Targeted drug delivery systems or vehicles composed of nanoparticles are crucial in novel therapeutics. These systems leverage the idea of targeted delivery of the drug to the desired locations to reduce side effects. AFM is becoming an extremely useful tool in figuring out the topographical and nanomechanical properties of these nanoparticles and other drug delivery carriers. AFM also helps determine binding probabilities and interaction forces of these drug delivery carriers with the targeted receptors and choose the better agent for drug delivery vehicle by introducing competitive binding. In this review, we summarize contributions made by us and other researchers so far that showcase AFM as biosensors, to characterize other sensors, to improve drug delivery approaches, and to discuss future possibilities.

Abstract
One of the critical quality attributes of nanoparticle formulations is drug release. Their release properties should therefore be well characterized with predictive and discriminative methods. However, there is presently still no standard method for the release testing of extended release nanoformulations. Dialysis techniques are widely used in the literature but suffer from severe drawbacks. Burst release of formulations can be masked by slow permeation kinetics of the free drug through the dialysis membrane, saturation in the membrane, and absence of agitation in the membrane. In this study, the release profile of poly(lactic co-glycolic) (PLGA) nanocapsules loaded with all-trans retinoic acid was characterized using an innovative sample and separate set-up, the NanoDis System, and compared to the release profile measured with a dialysis technique. The NanoDis System showed clear superiority over the dialysis method and was able to accurately characterize the burst release from the capsules and furthermore discriminate between different all-trans retinoic acid nanoparticle formulations.

Abstract
Polyphenols comprises of a large group of naturally occurring plant secondary metabolites having various nutritional and health benefits. They are safe and are found abundantly in the diet. Current research on polyphenols focuses on their mechanism and their benefits on the human health. However, due to their low solubility and bioavailability, delivery from conventional route has been a challenge and their translation into clinical applications has been limited. Topical and transdermal delivery of polymeric nanoparticles will act as a novel therapeutic approach for promising delivery of polyphenols. In this review, we have evaluated the existing scientific literature and summarized the potential use of polymeric nanoparticles as a carrier for polyphenolic compounds for delivery via topical and transdermal routes for the treatment of skin cancers such as melanoma.

Abstract
(1) Introduction: in recent decades, interdisciplinary research on the utilization of natural products as “active moiety carriers” was focused on due to their superior safety profile, biodegradability, biocompatibility and the ability for sustained or controlled release activity. The nano-based neuroprotective strategy is explored as an imperative treatment for diabetic neuropathy (DN). Avanafil (AV), that selectively inhibits the degradation of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, thereby increasing the levels of cGMP, makes a decisive mediator for cytoprotection. (2) Methods: AVnanocomplex formulations were prepared by a modified anti-solvent precipitation method and the method was optimized by Box–Behnken design. An optimized formulation was characterized and evaluated for various in vitro parameters; (3) results:based on the desirability approach, the formulation containing 2.176 g of chitosan, 7.984 g of zein and 90% v/v ethanol concentration can fulfill the prerequisites of optimum formulation (OB-AV-NC).OB-AV-NC was characterized and evaluated for various parameters. The neuroprotective mechanism of AV was evaluated by pretreatment of PC12 cells with plain AV, avanafil nanocomplex (NC) without antioxidants (AV-NC) and with antioxidants (α-Lipoic acid LP; Ellagic Acid EA), AV-LP-EA-Nanocomplex has also shown considerable attenuation in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation with a significant increase in the PC 12 viability under HG conditions in comparison to pure AV; (4) conclusion: the nanocomplex of AV prepared to utilize natural polymers and antioxidants aided for high solubility of AV and exhibited desired neuroprotective activity.This can be one of the promisingstrategy to translate the AV nanocomplex with safety and efficacy in treating DN.

Abstract
Numerous foods, plants, and their bioactive constituents (BACs), named nutraceuticals and phytochemicals by experts, have shown many beneficial effects including antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiulcer, anti-cholesterol, hypoglycemic, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant activities. Producers, consumers, and the market of food- and plant-related compounds are increasingly attracted by health-promoting foods and plants, thus requiring a wider and more fruitful exploitation of the healthy properties of their BACs. The demand for new BACs and for the development of novel functional foods and BACs-based food additives is pressing from various sectors. Unfortunately, low stability, poor water solubility, opsonization, and fast metabolism in vivo hinder the effective exploitation of the potential of BACs. To overcome these issues, researchers have engineered nanomaterials, obtaining food-grade delivery systems, and edible food- and plant-related nanoparticles (NPs) acting as color, flavor, and preservative additives and natural therapeutics. Here, we have reviewed the nanotechnological transformations of several BACs implemented to increase their bioavailability, to mask any unpleasant taste and flavors, to be included as active ingredients in food or food packaging, to improve food appearance, quality, and resistance to deterioration due to storage. The pending issue regarding the possible toxic effect of NPs, whose knowledge is still limited, has also been discussed.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the structural and physicochemical properties of native Banxia starch (BXS) and autoclaving-cooling treated Banxia starch (CTBXS) and its related impacts on production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and human gut microbiota by in vitro fecal fermentation. BXS had semicircle to spherical granules, whereas CTBXS exhibited block-shape. According to XRD and TGA, BXS had a C-type crystalline pattern, while CTBXS had a B-type crystalline pattern. CTBXS had better thermal stability than BXS. In addition, BXS exhibited significantly higher solubility and swelling power than CTBXS, and CTBXS had higher content of SDS than BXS. Moreover, BXS and CTBXS could change the composition and abundance of gut microbiota, could also promote the production of SCFAs. This study is beneficial to well understand the in vitro digestion and fecal fermentation behaviors of BXS and CTBXS, and can be developed as a potential functional food with the aim of improving colonic health.

Abstract
The goal of this study is to develop optimized chitosan-coated Simvastatin (SIM) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded in an in situ gel (ISG) formulation via a face-centered central composite design (FCCCD). Coated SIM-NPs were doped with Quercetin (QRC) using a modified nanoprecipitation method. The concentrations of poloxamer 188 (A) and chitosan (B) at five different levels, plus/minus alpha (+1.414 and −1.414: axial points), plus/minus 1 (factorial points) and the center point were optimized for particle size (PS-Y1), entrapment efficacy (EE-Y2) and stability index (SI-Y3). Based on the desirability approach, a formulation containing poloxamer 188 0.24% and chitosan 0.43% renders the prerequisites of optimum formulation for preparing SIM–QRC NP-loaded ISG. Scanning microscopy showed spherical SIM-NPs, indicating monodispersity in the range of 0.50 ± 0.04 nm with a charge of +32.42 mV. The optimized formulation indicated the highest EE 79.67% and better stability at 4 °C. Drug release from SIM–QRC NP-loaded ISG was slower to plateau by up to 96 h and, at the end of 168 h, only 65.12% of SIM was released in a more controlled manner in comparison to SIM–QRC NPs and plain SIM. ISG formulation showed a considerable increase in apoptosis occurrence through caspase-3 mediation and it also enhanced the tumor suppressor protein levels. Enhanced biological activity of SIM was observed due to QRC enabling promising drug and polymer synergistic interaction. The proposed formulation can provide a breakthrough in localized therapy, overcoming the potential drawbacks of systemic chemotherapy for tongue carcinoma.

Abstract
Quercetin is reported to have numerous pharmacological actions, including antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. The main mechanism responsible for its pharmacological activities is its ability to quench reactive oxygen species (ROS) and, hence, decrease the oxidative stress responsible for the development of various diseases. Despite its proven therapeutic potential, the clinical use of quercetin remains limited because of its low aqueous solubility, bioavailability, and substantial first-pass metabolism. To overcome this, several novel formulations have been reported. In this review, we focus on the applications of quercetin extract as well as its novel formulations for treating different disorders. We also examine its proposed mechanism of action of quercetin.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a field of research that has been stressed as a very valuable approach for the prevention and treatment of different human health disorders. This has been stressed as a delivery system for the therapeutic fight against an array of pathophysiological situations. Actually, industry has applied this technology in the search for new oral delivery alternatives obtained upon the modification of the solubility properties of bioactive compounds. Significant works have been made in the last years for testing the input that nanomaterials and nanoparticles provide for an array of pathophysiological situations. In this frame, this review addresses general questions concerning the extent to which nanoparticles offer alternatives that improve therapeutic value, while avoid toxicity, by releasing bioactive compounds specifically to target tissues affected by specific chemical and pathophysiological settings. In this regard, to date, the contribution of nanoparticles to protect encapsulated bioactive compounds from degradation as a result of gastrointestinal digestion and cellular metabolism, to enable their release in a controlled manner, enhancing biodistribution of bioactive compounds, and to allow them to target those tissues affected by biological disturbances has been demonstrated.

Abstract
Currently, nanotechnology represents an important tool and an efficient option for extending the shelf life of foods. Reducing particle size to nanometric scale gives materials distinct and improved properties compared to larger systems. For food applications, this technology allows the incorporation of hydrophilic and lipophilic substances with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that can be released during storage periods to increase the shelf life of diverse products, including whole and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, and cheese, among others. Edible coatings are usually prepared with natural polymers that are non-toxic, economical, and readily available. Nanosystems, in contrast, may also be prepared with biodegradable synthetic polymers, and liquid and solid lipids at room temperature. In this review, recent developments in the use of such nanosystems as nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanocomposites, and nanoemulsions, are discussed critically. The use of polymers as the support matrix for nanodispersions to form edible coatings for food preservation is also analyzed, but the central purpose of the article is to describe available information on nanosystems and their use in different food substrates to help formulators in their work.

Abstract
Exploiting specific interactions with titania (TiO2) has been proposed for the separation and recovery of a broad range of biomolecules and natural products, including therapeutic polyphenolic flavonoids which are susceptible to degradation, such as quercetin. Functionalizing mesoporous silica with TiO2 has many potential advantages over bulk and mesoporous TiO2 as an adsorbent for natural products, including robust synthetic approaches leading to high surface area, and stable separation platforms. Here, TiO2-surface-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) are synthesized and characterized as a function of TiO2 content (up to 636 mg TiO2/g). The adsorption isotherms of two polyphenolic flavonoids, quercetin and rutin, were determined (0.05-10 mg/mL in ethanol), and a 100-fold increase in the adsorption capacity was observed relative to functionalized nonporous particles with similar TiO2 surface coverage. An optimum extent of functionalization (approximately 440 mg TiO2/g particles) is interpreted from characterization techniques including grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and nitrogen adsorption, which examined the interplay between the extent of TiO2 functionalization and the accessibility of the porous structures. The recovery of flavonoids is demonstrated using ligand displacement in ethanolic citric acid solution (20% w/v), in which greater than 90% recovery can be achieved in a multistep extraction process. The radical scavenging activity (RSA) of the recovered and particle-bound quercetin as measured by a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay demonstrates greater than 80% retention of antioxidant activity by both particle-bound and recovered quercetin. These mesoporous titanosilicate materials can serve as a synthetic platform to isolate, recover, and potentially deliver degradation-sensitive natural products to biological systems.

Abstract
Edible nanoencapsulation vehicles (ENVs) designed for the delivery of phytochemicals have gained increasing research interest. The major driving force for this trend is the potential bioavailability enhancement effect for phytochemicals when delivered via ENVs. ENVs affect the bioefficacy of phytochemicals by influencing their dispersion and gastrointestinal stability, rate and site of release, transportation efficiency across the endothelial layer, systemic circulation and biodistribution, and regulation of gut microflora. Enhanced bioefficacy can be achieved by rational design of the size, surface property, matrix materials, and compartment structure of ENVs according to properties of phytochemicals. Future investigations may lay particular emphasis on examining the relevance between results gained by in vitro digestion simulations and those obtained via in vivo digestion simulations, structural evolutions of ENVs during digestion and absorption, impacts of ENVs on the metabolism of phytochemicals, and using ENVs for deciphering the reciprocal interactions between phytochemicals and gut microbiota.

Abstract
The study aimed to design and develop carvedilol loaded silk fibroin-casein nanoparticles using 32 full factorial design. Silk fibroin and casein concentration were selected as the independent variables and their effect were observed on dependent variables: particle size, polydispersity index, encapsulation efficiency, drug release, and dissolution efficiency. The developed optimized formulation was characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and Powder X-ray diffraction. Surface morphology of optimized formulation using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy revealed spherical nature of particles without any evidence of aggregation. The optimized formulation showed a 2.04-fold increase in Cmax, and 6.87-fold increase in bioavailability as compared to aqueous suspension. The formulation showed sustained release as confirmed by increases in mean residence time. The in vivo in silico simulation using physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) model and population simulation (100 subjects) revealed a reasonable degree of superimposition of simulated and observed pharmacokinetic parameters based on overall fold error (≤2.0). The enhanced bioavailability with sustained effect demonstrates potential of silk fibroin as an alternative carrier for drug delivery and presents Gastoplus™ as efficient tool for in vivo in silico simulations.

Abstract
Rapidly evolving technical and regulatory landscapes of the pharmaceutical product development necessitates risk management with application of multivariate analysis using Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Quality by Design (QbD). Poorly soluble, high dose drug, Satranidazole was optimally nanoprecipitated (SAT-NP) employing principles of Formulation by Design (FbD). The potential risk factors influencing the critical quality attributes (CQA) of SAT-NP were identified using Ishikawa diagram. Plackett-Burman screening design was adopted to screen the eight critical formulation and process parameters influencing the mean particle size, zeta potential and dissolution efficiency at 30min in pH7.4 dissolution medium. Pareto charts (individual and cumulative) revealed three most critical factors influencing CQA of SAT-NP viz. aqueous stabilizer (Polyvinyl alcohol), release modifier (Eudragit® S 100) and volume of aqueous phase. The levels of these three critical formulation attributes were optimized by FbD within established design space to minimize mean particle size, poly dispersity index, and maximize encapsulation efficiency of SAT-NP. Lenth's and Bayesian analysis along with mathematical modeling of results allowed identification and quantification of critical formulation attributes significantly active on the selected CQAs. The optimized SAT-NP exhibited mean particle size; 216nm, polydispersity index; 0.250, zeta potential; -3.75mV and encapsulation efficiency; 78.3%. The product was lyophilized using mannitol to form readily redispersible powder. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the conversion of crystalline SAT to amorphous form. In vitro release of SAT-NP in gradually pH changing media showed <20% release in pH1.2 and pH6.8 in 5h, while, complete release (>95%) in pH7.4 in next 3h, indicative of burst release after a lag time. This investigation demonstrated effective application of risk management and QbD tools in developing site-specific release SAT-NP by nanoprecipitation.

Abstract
Polyhydroxybutyrate- co-hydroxyvalerate has been identified as a useful polymer for biomedical application due to its biocompatibility and processability. Polyhydroxybutyrate- co-hydroxyvalerate nanoparticles loaded with quercetin, an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral polyphenol with limited solubility, were obtained using a high-speed double-emulsion technique. The nanoparticle size and the dissolution of quercetin were controlled simultaneously through high-speed stirring (15,000 r/min) in the emulsification process. The size range of quercetin-loaded polyhydroxybutyrate- co-hydroxyvalerate nanoparticles was between 250 and 650 nm. Spherical shape with no aggregation of nanoparticles was confirmed by electron microscopy. Loaded nanoparticles showed less thermal degradation than unloaded nanoparticles. An encapsulation efficiency of 51% was found. Most of the quercetin was released from the nanoparticles within the first 5 h of water immersion. A biocompatibility analysis of the nanoparticles showed no cytotoxicity and no significant difference between loaded and unloaded nanoparticles.

Abstract
Nanosponges (NSs) are a new age branched cyclodextrin (CD) polymeric systems exhibiting tremendous potential in pharmaceutical, agro science, and biomedical applications. Over the past decade, different varieties of NS based on the type of CD and the crosslinker have been developed tailored for specific applications. NS technology has been instrumental in achieving solubilization, stabilization, sustained release, enhancement of activity, permeability enhancement, protein delivery, ocular delivery, stimuli sensitive drug release, enhancement of bioavailability, etc. There is a major explosion of research in the area of NS-aided cancer therapeutics. A wide of anticancer molecules both from a pharmacological and physicochemical perspective have been developed as NS formulations by several groups including ours. Our objective in this review is to capture a systematic and comprehensive snapshot of the state-of-the-art of NS-aided cancer therapeutics reported so far. This review will provide an ideal platform for both the formulation scientists working on new polymeric/drug development and cancer biologists/scientists to understand the current nanotechnologies in CD-based NS-aided cancer therapeutics. The scope of the review is limited to small molecules and CD-based NS. The review covers in detail the problems associated with anticancer small molecules, and the solution provided by CD-based NS specifically for camptothecin, curcumin, paclitaxel, tamoxifen, resveratrol, quercetin, oxygen-NS, temozolomide, doxorubicin, and 5-Fluorouracil.

Eur J Pharm Sci 2016; 84:92-102. [PMID: 26780593 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2016.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2015] [Revised: 12/14/2015] [Accepted: 01/05/2016] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
With Quality by Design (QbD), a systematic approach involving design and development of all production processes to achieve the final product with a predetermined quality, you work within a design space that determines the critical formulation and process parameters. Verification of the quality of the final product is no longer necessary. In the current study, the QbD approach was used in the preparation of lipid nanoparticle formulations to improve skin penetration of 5-Fluorouracil, a widely-used compound for treating non-melanoma skin cancer. 5-Fluorouracil-loaded lipid nanoparticles were prepared by the W/O/W double emulsion - solvent evaporation method. Artificial neural network software was used to evaluate the data obtained from the lipid nanoparticle formulations, to establish the design space, and to optimize the formulations. Two different artificial neural network models were developed. The limit values of the design space of the inputs and outputs obtained by both models were found to be within the knowledge space. The optimal formulations recommended by the models were prepared and the critical quality attributes belonging to those formulations were assigned. The experimental results remained within the design space limit values. Consequently, optimal formulations with the critical quality attributes determined to achieve the Quality Target Product Profile were successfully obtained within the design space by following the QbD steps.
