J Liposome Res 2024:1-26.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast Cancer (TNBC) is one of the deadliest types, making up about 20% of all breast cancers. Chemotherapy is the traditional manner of progressed TNBC treatment; however, it has a short-term result with a high reversibility pace. The lack of targeted treatment limited and person-dependent treatment options for those suffering from TNBC cautions to be the worst type of cancer among breast cancer patients. Consequently, appropriate treatment for this disease is considered a major clinical challenge. Therefore, various treatment methods have been developed to treat TNBC, among which chemotherapy is the most common and well-known approach recently studied. Although effective methods are chemotherapies, they are often accompanied by critical limitations, especially the lack of specific functionality. These methods lead to systematic toxicity and, ultimately, the expansion of multidrug-resistant (MDR) cancer cells. Therefore, finding novel and efficient techniques to enhance the targeting of TNBC treatment is an essential requirement. Liposomes have demonstrated that they are an effective method for drug delivery; however, among a large number of liposome-based drug delivery systems annually developed, a small number have just received authorization for clinical application. The new approaches to using liposomes target their structure with various ligands to increase therapeutic efficiency and diminish undesired side effects on various body tissues. The current study describes the most recent strategies and research associated with functionalizing the liposomes' structure with different ligands as targeted drug carriers in treating TNBCs in preclinical and clinical stages.

José de Alencar Danda L, Christinne Rocha de Medeiros Schver G, Lamartine Soares Sobrinho J, Lee PI, Felts de La Roca Soares M. Amorphous solid dispersions in high-swelling, low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose for enhancing the delivery of poorly soluble drugs. Int J Pharm 2023:123122. [PMID: 37307959 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123122] [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: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) based on water-insoluble hydrophilic polymers can sustain supersaturation in their kinetic solubility profiles (KSPs) compared to soluble carriers. However, in the limit of very high swelling capacity, the achievable extent of drug supersaturation has not been fully examined. This study explores the limiting supersaturation behavior of ASDs of poorly soluble indomethacin (IND) and posaconazole (PCZ) based on a high-swelling excipient, low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose (L-HPC). Using IND as a reference, we showed that the rapid initial supersaturation buildup in the KSP of IND ASD can be simulated through sequential IND infusion steps, however at large times the KSP of IND release from ASD appears more sustained than direct IND infusion. This has been attributed to potential trapping of seed crystals generated in the L-HPC gel matrix thus limiting their growth and rate of desupersaturation. Similar result is also expected in PCZ ASD. Furthermore, the current drug loading process for ASD preparation resulted in the agglomeration of L-HPC based ASD particles, producing granules of up to 300-500µm (cf. 20µm individual particle), with distinct kinetic solubility profiles. This feature makes L-HPC particularly suitable as ASD carriers for fine tuning of supersaturation to achieve enhanced bioavailability for poorly soluble drugs.

Cataleptogenic Effect of Haloperidol Formulated in Water-Soluble Calixarene-Based Nanoparticles. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15030921. [PMID: 36986782 PMCID: PMC10059056 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15030921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a water-soluble form of haloperidol was obtained by coaggregation with calix[4]resorcinol bearing viologen groups on the upper rim and decyl chains on the lower rim to form vesicular nanoparticles. The formation of nanoparticles is achieved by the spontaneous loading of haloperidol into the hydrophobic domains of aggregates based on this macrocycle. The mucoadhesive and thermosensitive properties of calix[4]resorcinol–haloperidol nanoparticles were established by UV-, fluorescence and CD spectroscopy data. Pharmacological studies have revealed low in vivo toxicity of pure calix[4]resorcinol (LD50 is 540 ± 75 mg/kg for mice and 510 ± 63 mg/kg for rats) and the absence of its effect on the motor activity and psycho-emotional state of mice, which opens up a possibility for its use in the design of effective drug delivery systems. Haloperidol formulated with calix[4]resorcinol exhibits a cataleptogenic effect in rats both when administered intranasally and intraperitoneally. The effect of the intranasal administration of haloperidol with macrocycle in the first 120 min is comparable to the effect of commercial haloperidol, but the duration of catalepsy was shorter by 2.9 and 2.3 times (p < 0.05) at 180 and 240 min, respectively, than that of the control. There was a statistically significant reduction in the cataleptogenic activity at 10 and 30 min after the intraperitoneal injection of haloperidol with calix[4]resorcinol, then there was an increase in the activity by 1.8 times (p < 0.05) at 60 min, and after 120, 180 and 240 min the effect of this haloperidol formulation was at the level of the control sample.

Abstract
A poorly water soluble polar and non-polar bioactive complexes encapsulated in a nanocellulose-based polymeric network are the focus of this research. Ascorbic acid, resveratrol, holy basil extract, pomegranate extract, and niacin are all microencapsulated bioactive complexes that make up Zetalife®, a nutritional ingredient. It uses an interpenetrating polymeric network (IPN) with more dispersed nanocellulose and phospholipids to increase Zetalife® s bioavailability. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopic (FESEM) images were used in studying the morphology of encapsulated bioactive molecules. The average microbead size was determined to be 244.2 nm. After each month of storage, the sample's microbial content was measured to assess stability. In vitro release followed a first-order kinetic model with high R2.

Abstract
Drug delivery research pursues many types of carriers including proteins and other macromolecules, natural and synthetic polymeric structures, nanocarriers of diverse compositions and cells. In particular, liposomes and lipid nanoparticles represent arguably the most advanced and popular human-made nanocarriers, already in multiple clinical applications. On the other hand, red blood cells (RBCs) represent attractive natural carriers for the vascular route, featuring at least two distinct compartments for loading pharmacological cargoes, namely inner space enclosed by the plasma membrane and the outer surface of this membrane. Historically, studies of liposomal drug delivery systems (DDS) astronomically outnumbered and surpassed the RBC-based DDS. Nevertheless, these two types of carriers have different profile of advantages and disadvantages. Recent studies showed that RBC-based drug carriers indeed may feature unique pharmacokinetic and biodistribution characteristics favorably changing benefit/risk ratio of some cargo agents. Furthermore, RBC carriage cardinally alters behavior and effect of nanocarriers in the bloodstream, so called RBC hitchhiking (RBC-HH). This article represents an attempt for the comparative analysis of liposomal vs RBC drug delivery, culminating with design of hybrid DDSs enabling mutual collaborative advantages such as RBC-HH and camouflaging nanoparticles by RBC membrane. Finally, we discuss the key current challenges faced by these and other RBC-based DDSs including the issue of potential unintended and adverse effect and contingency measures to ameliorate this and other concerns.

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

Abstract
In this study, liposome and transfersome were successfully constructed using molecular dynamics simulation. Three drugs with different polarity, including 5-fluorouracil, ligustrazine, and osthole, were selected as model drugs to study the distribution of drugs in lipid vesicles by calculating the radial distribution function and the potential of mean force. The solubility parameters between drugs and different regions in lipid vesicles were calculated to characterize the compatibility of drugs in different regions in lipid vesicles, which provided the basis for the conclusion of this paper. It showed that the radial distribution function and the potential of mean force were consistent in the characterization of drug distribution in vesicles, and the drug distribution in vesicles was closely related to the compatibility between drugs and vesicles. Therefore, the radial distribution function and the potential of mean force can be used to characterize the distribution of drugs in vesicles, and molecular simulation technology has a great potential in studying the characteristics of vesicles.

Abstract
The objective of the current investigation was to develop a simple, rapid, and stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography method and to study the degradation behavior of sulfapyridine (SP) under different International Conference on Harmonization (ICH)-recommended conditions. The chromatographic method was developed using C18 (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μ) column, and mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid (30:70 v/v) at ambient temperature, at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The elution was monitored at 265 nm using a photodiode array detector. The developed method was subsequently validated as per ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines. The retention time of SP was observed as 4.56 min with the linearity range between 2 to 10 μg/mL. Limit of detection and limit of quantitation for SP were 0.115 and 0.35 μg/mL, respectively. Forced degradation studies were carried out on bulk samples of SP using prescribed acidic, basic, oxidative, thermal, and photolytic conditions. Extent of degradation in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid and under photolytic conditions was found to be 21.56% and 28.57%, respectively. The degradation products formed in stress conditions were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The utility of the method was verified by quantification of SP in different laboratory-made pharmaceutical preparations. The proposed method could be successfully used to quantify SP in different pharmaceutical dosage forms.

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

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a family of biodegradable cyclic hydrocarbons composed of α-(1,4) linked glucopyranose subunits, the more common containing 6, 7 or 8 glucose units are named α, β and γ-cyclodextrins respectively. Since the discovery of CDs, they have attracted interest among scientists and the first studies were about the properties of the native compounds and in particular their use as catalysts of organic reactions. Characteristics features of different types of cyclodextrins stimulated investigation in different areas of research, due to its non-toxic and non-inmunogenic properties and also to the development of an improved industrial production. In this way, many materials with important properties have been developed. This mini-review will focus on chemical systems that use cyclodextrins, whatever linked covalently or mediated by the non covalent interactions, to build complex systems developed mainly during the last five years.

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

Abstract
Praziquantel (PZQ) is the main treatment of Schistosomiasis mansoni. However, resistance to it was described. So, there is a necessity to develop novel drugs or to enhance the present drugs. This work aimed to assess the efficacy of PZQ alone and when loaded on liposomes in treatment of S. mansoni infection by parasitological and histopathological studies in experimental murine models. 112 male laboratories bred Swiss Albino mice were used in this work. They were divided into four groups: Group 1: control group; Group 2: infected then treated by PZQ (500 mg/kg) at 7, 30 and 45 days post infection; Group 3: infected then treated by liposome encapsulated PZQ (lip.PZQ) (500 mg/kg) at 7, 30 and 45 days post infection; Group 4: infected then treated by free liposomes at 7, 30 and 45 days post infection. The results showed that G3 caused the highest significant reduction of the total worm count, eggs/gram liver tissue and intestine (97.2%, 99.3%, 99.5%) respectively. Followed by G2 (85.1%, 97.6%, 89.8%) respectively. Regarding the histopathological studies, G3 showed the highest significant reduction in number and diameter of hepatic granuloma (97.6% and 98.1%), followed by G2 (77.2% and 75%) when compared to other groups. In conclusion, lip.PZQ is more effective than free PZQ from all aspects especially when administered 45 days PI.

Combining amorphous solid dispersions for improved kinetic solubility of posaconazole simultaneously released from soluble PVP/VA64 and an insoluble ammonio methacrylate copolymer.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of combining multiple ASDs based on water soluble and insoluble polymers to reach and maintain poorly soluble posaconazole (PCZ) supersaturation over time. ASDs of PCZ were obtained with PVP/VA64 or an ammonio methacrylate copolymer by solvent evaporation method with a fixed 20% (wt/wt%) drug loading ratio and physical mixtures of these ASDs were prepared at various proportions. ASDs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and compared to their respective physical mixture with crystalline PCZ. Crystalline PCZ equilibrium solubility was determined at pH 1.2-2 range. Dissolution profiles were constructed under non-sink condition with an adapted dissolution system. PXRD analysis demonstrated that both ASDs were at the amorphous state and FT-IR spectroscopy revealed that the analytical signal of PCZ was also absent in both ASDs. Equilibrium solubility of crystalline PCZ varied between 26.36 ± 0.32 (pH 2) to 609.33 ± 3.68 (pH 1.2) μg/mL. All ASDs reached higher concentrations than the equilibrium solubility of crystalline PCZ during dissolution. PVP/VA64 ASDs showed dominance over PCZ dissolution and recrystallization rates whereas Eudragit RS PO ASD alone did not cause PCZ recrystallization whatsoever. The combination containing 20 mg PVP/VA64 + 80 mg Eudragit RS PO as PCZ carriers obtained the highest AUC, suggesting that even after the PVP/VA64 part was completely dissolved, reaching a concentration above crystalline PC Cs, the insoluble polymer could still release PCZ slowly and maintain supersaturation over time. The research demonstrated a potential of combining multiple ASDs to achieve distinct dissolution profiles while increasing the kinetic solubility of poorly soluble drugs.

Abstract
Nerolidol, a naturally occurring sesquiterpene with antimicrobial activities, is a promising candidate as a natural alternative for synthetic preservatives in food. However, its application is limited by low aqueous solubility and stability. In this study, conventional liposomes and drug-in-cyclodextrin-in-liposomes (DCLs) were evaluated for the first time as encapsulating materials for nerolidol. The size, encapsulation efficiency (EE%), loading rate (LR%), photo- and storage stabilities of both systems were characterized. Moreover, the in vitro release of nerolidol from liposomes and DCLs was investigated over time. Nerolidol was efficiently entrapped in both carriers with high EE% and LR% values. In addition, DCLs prolonged the release of nerolidol over one week and enhanced the photostability more effectively than conventional liposomes. Finally, all formulations were stable after 12 months of storage at 4 °C (>60% incorporated nerolidol). Therefore, DCLs are promising carriers for new applications of sesquiterpenes in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Abstract
Niosomes were prepared from equimolar mixtures of two non-ionic surfactants, Span 80 and Tween 80. The capability of the vesicular systems was studied through the encapsulation of two azo dyes as molecular probes of different hydrophobicity (methyl orange (MO) and methyl yellow (MY)). To improve the efficiency of the niosomes to encapsulate the dyes, we employed an additional modification of the vesicular system, adding β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) or a modified amphiphilic β-CD (Mod-β-CD) to the niosomes. Neither the inclusion of dyes nor the incorporation of β-CD to the niosomes produces considerable modifications in size and morphology of the vesicles. However, in the presence of Mod-β-CD the niosomes became smaller, probably due to the anchoring of the cyclodextrin at the surface of vesicles through the hydrophobic chain, altering the curvature of the outer monolayer and reducing the surface charge of the interphase. The entrapment efficiency (EE) for MY was higher than that for MO in niosomes without cyclodextrin, however, the content of MO in the presence of β-CD increased considerably. Besides, the release of this dye under the same conditions was faster and reached 70% in 24 hours whereas in the absence of the macrocycle, the release was 15%, in the same time. UV-visible spectrophotometry and induced circular dichroism analysis allowed it to be established that MO is complexed with cyclodextrins inside vesicles, whereas MY interacts mainly with the niosome bilayer instead of with CD. Besides, the cavity of cyclodextrins is probably located in the interphase and preferably in the polar region of niosomes. Incorporation of β-cyclodextrin into niosomes considerably increased the encapsulated amount and the delivery rate of a hydrophilic molecular probe.![]()

Abstract
Dermal drug release systems are an important area of research because they can be applied to the skin in a non-invasive procedure using a lower concentration of drugs. In this study, we have developed two types of Layer-by-Layer (LbL) films for releasing emodin (EM). In one system, EM was intercalated with poly(ethylenimine) PEI and poly(vinyl sufonate) (PVS) polyelectrolytes, forming (PEI/PVS)2(PEI/EM)7; in another, EM was incorporated in liposomes obtained by mixing dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl glycerol (DPPG) and palmitoyl oleoyl phosphatidyl glycerol (POPG) lipids, forming (PEI/PVS)2(PEI/DPPG-POPG-EM)7. UV-vis and FTIR spectroscopies were used to characterize the LbL films. These showed that the depositions of material by LbL were efficient, with increases in the absorbance of each bilayer evidencing the presence of EM in the film. The (PEI/PVS)2(PEI/EM)7 and (PEI/PVS)2(PEI/DPPG-POPG-EM)7 films released EM in three and five days, respectively. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) assay of the (PEI/PVS)2(PEI/EM)7 results are in agreement with UV-vis measurements, which suggest that EM was protonated in acid environments, while the CV of (PEI/PVS)2(PEI/DPPG-POPG-EM)7 demonstrated distinct protonation behaviour for EM within the inner liposome structure, even in acid solutions. Therefore, this study presents two systems based on LbL films and provides additional details about the release of EM from these films to create a viable alternative for transdermal applications.
