Abstract
In this study, the potential of aluminum nitride (h-AlN), boron nitride (h-BN) and silicon carbide (h-SiC) nanosheets as the drug delivery systems (DDS) of isoniazid (INH) was scrutinized through density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. We performed DFT periodic calculations on the geometry and electronic features of nanosheets adsorbed with INH by the DFT functional (DZP/GGA-PBE) employed in the SIESTA code. In the energetically favorable model, an oxygen atom of the C-O group of the INH molecule interacts with a Si atom of the h-SiC at 2.077 Å with an interaction energy of -1.361 eV. Charge transfer (CT) calculation by employing the Mulliken, Hirshfeld and Voronoi approaches reveals that the monolayers and drug molecules act as donors and acceptors, respectively. The density of states (DOS) calculations indicate that the HOMO-LUMO energy gap (HLG) of the h-SiC nanosheet declines significantly from 2.543 to 1.492 eV upon the adsorption of the INH molecule, which causes an electrical conductivity increase and then produces an electrical signal. The signal is linked to the existence of INH, demonstrating that h-SiC may be an appropriate sensor for INH sensing. The decrease in HLG for the interaction of INH and h-SiC is the uppermost (up to 41%) representing the uppermost sensitivity, whereas the sensitivity trend is σ(h-SiC) > σ(h-AlN) > σ(h-BN). Quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) investigations is employed to scrutinize the nature of the INH/nanosheet interactions. The QTAIM analysis reveals that the interaction of the INH molecule and h-SiC has a partially covalent nature, while INH/h-AlN model electrostatic interaction occurs in the system and noncovalent and electrostatic interaction for the INH/h-BN model. Finally, the state-of-the-art DFT-MD simulations utilized in this study can mimic ambient conditions. The results obtained from the MD simulation show that it takes more time to bond the INH drug and h-SiC, and the INH/h-SiC system becomes stable. The results of the current research demonstrate the potential of h-SiC as a suitable sensor and drug delivery platform for INH drugs to remedy tuberculosis.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, necessitating innovative approaches for effective treatment. Conventional TB therapy encounters several limitations, including extended treatment duration, drug resistance, patient noncompliance, poor bioavailability, and suboptimal targeting. Advanced drug delivery strategies have emerged as a promising approach to address these challenges. They have the potential to enhance therapeutic outcomes and improve TB patient compliance by providing benefits such as multiple drug encapsulation, sustained release, targeted delivery, reduced dosing frequency, and minimal side effects. This review examines the current landscape of drug delivery strategies for effective TB management, specifically highlighting lipid nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, emulsion-based systems, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and hydrogels as promising approaches. Furthermore, emerging therapeutic strategies like targeted therapy, long-acting therapeutics, extrapulmonary therapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy are emphasized. The review also discusses the future trajectory and challenges of developing drug delivery systems for TB. In conclusion, nanomedicine has made substantial progress in addressing the challenges posed by conventional TB drugs. Moreover, by harnessing the unique targeting abilities, extended duration of action, and specificity of advanced therapeutics, innovative solutions are offered that have the potential to revolutionize TB therapy, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes and patient compliance.

Food Res Int 2023; 172:113136. [PMID: 37689900 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to fabricate a novel codelivery system to simultaneously load β-carotene and curcumin in a controlled and synergistic manner. We hypothesized that the aggregates of octenylsuccinated Gastrodia elata starch (OSGES) could efficiently load and control the release of β-carotene and curcumin in combination. Mechanisms underlying the self-assembly of OSGES, coloading, and corelease of β-carotene and curcumin by relevant aggregates were studied. The OSGES could form aggregates with a size of 120.2 nm containing hydrophobic domains surrounded by hydrophilic domains. For coloading, the increased solubilities were attributed to favorable interactions between β-carotene and curcumin as well as interactions with octenyl and starch moieties via hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond interactions, respectively. The β-carotene and curcumin molecules occupied the interior and periphery of hydrophobic domains of OSGES aggregates, respectively, and they did not exist in isolation but interacted with each other. The β-carotene and curcumin combination-loaded OSGES aggregates with a size of 310.5 nm presented a more compact structure than β-carotene-only and curcumin-only loaded OSGES aggregates with sizes of 463.5 and 202.9 nm respectively, suggesting that a transition from a loose cluster to a compact cluster was accompanied by coloading. During in vitro digestion, the joint effect of β-carotene and curcumin prolonged their release and increased their bioaccessibility due to competition between favorable hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond interactions and the unfavorable structure erosion and relaxation of the loaded aggregates. Therefore, OSGES aggregates were designed for the codelivery of β-carotene and curcumin, indicating their potential to be applied in functional foods and dietary supplements.

Abstract
In this study the efficacy of different edible lipids for drug permeation enhancement of vancomycin through biological membrane was investigated using molecular dynamic simulation. In this regard, at first the ability of the lipids for complex formation with the drug was evaluated for number of most common edible lipids including tripalmitin (TPA), trimyristin (TMY), labrafil (LAB), glycerol monostearate (GMS), glycerol monooleate (GMO), Distearoylphosphorylethanolamine (DSPE), dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE), Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), cholesterol (CL), stearic acid (SA), palmitic acid (PA) and oleic acid (OA). Then the complexes were pulled thorough a bilayer membrane while the changes in force were probed. The results showed that besides the SA, PA and OA the other examined lipids were able to perform a perfect molecular complex with the drug. Also the results of pulling simulation revealed that the least of force was needed for drug transmittance through the membrane when it was covered by LAB, TMY and DSPE. These results indicated that these lipids can be the excellent materials of choice as permeation enhancer for preparing a proper oral formulation of vancomycin.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been considerable interest in icariin (ICA) and its derivates, icariside II (ICS) and icaritin (ICT), due to their wide range of potential applications in preventing cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, delaying the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, treating erectile dysfunction, etc. However, their poor water solubility and membrane permeability, resulting in low bioavailability, dampens their potential beneficial effects. In this regard, several strategies have been developed, such as pharmaceutical technologies, structural transformations, and absorption enhancers. All these strategies manage to improve the bioavailability of the above-mentioned flavonoids, thus increasing their concentration in the desired places. This paper focuses on gathering the latest knowledge on strategies to improve bioavailability for enhancing the efficacy of icariin, icariside II, and icaritin. We conclude that there is an opportunity for many further improvements in this field. To the best of our knowledge, no such review articles scoping the bioavailability improvement of icariin and its derivates have been published to date. Therefore, this paper can be a good starting point for all those who want to deepen their understanding of the field.

Abstract
Gemcitabine hydrochloride is an established chemotherapeutic agent in several solid tumors. In spite of outstanding therapeutic efficacy, there are some serious fetal side effects with gemcitabine in higher concentrations which necessitate developing a sensitive sensor for its quantification. Herein, a fluorescent metal-nanoparticles conjugated carbon quantum dot (MN-CQD) was prepared by a mixture of citric acid/ammonia sulfate and different metals using hydrothermal method. Based on the primary experiments, the efficiency of Ag nanoparticle-CQDs for gemcitabine determination was found to be much better than others. The AgNp-CQDs fluorescence was quenched by gemcitabine anticancer drug via photo-induced charge transfer which renders the system into fluorescence "OFF" status. Under the experimental conditions, the linear range of detection was 0.003-0.1 μM in an aqueous solution with a correlation coefficient of 0.96 and a limit of detection equal to 0.002 µM. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for gemcitabine determination was 3.4% (n = 3). Finally, after optimizing the conditions, the concentration of analyte was determined in real samples including human plasma and urine. These results confirm that the as prepared fluorescence based nanosensor can be used for sensitive quantification of gemcitabine in real samples.

Abstract
Accumulative evidence of using double stranded (ds) RNA encapsulated into virus like particle (VLP) nanocarrier has open feasibility to fight against shrimp viral infection in aquaculture field. In this study, we co-encapsulated VP37 and VP28 dsRNA into hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) like particle and investigated its protection against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Five micrograms of each dsRNA were used as starting materials to load into VLP, while the loading efficiency was slightly different, i.e, VP37 dsRNA had somewhat a better load into VLP's cavity. It was apparent that co-encapsulation of dual dsRNA showed a superior WSSV silencing ability than the single dsRNA counterpart as evidence by the lower WSSV gene expression and its copy number in the gill tissues. Besides, we also demonstrated that co-encapsulated dual dsRNA into IHHNV-VLP stimulated the increased number of hemocytes and the corresponding PO activity as well as up-regulated proPO gene expression in hemocytes to resist viral invasion after an acute stage of WSSV infection. This synergistic action of dual dsRNA encapsulated into IHHNV-VLPs could thus act to delay time of shrimp death and reduced shrimp cumulative mortality greater than the single, naked dsRNA treatment and positive control groups. The obtaining results would encourage the feasibility to use it as a new weapon to fight WSSV infection in shrimp aquaculture.

Abstract
The worldwide increased bacterial resistance toward antimicrobial therapeutics has led investigators to search for new therapeutic options. Some of the options currently exploited to treat drug-resistant infections include drug-associated nanosystems. Additionally, the use of bacteriophages alone or in combination with drugs has been recently revisited; some studies utilizing nanosystems for bacteriophage delivery have been already reported. In this review article, we focus on nine pathogens that are the leading antimicrobial drug-resistant organisms, causing difficult-to-treat infections. For each organism, the bacteriophages and nanosystems developed or used in the last 20 years as potential treatments of pathogen-related infections are discussed. Summarizing conclusions and future perspectives related with the potential of such nano-antimicrobials for the treatment of persistent infections are finally highlighted.

Abstract
In this review, we outline the growing role that molecular dynamics simulation is able to play as a design tool in drug delivery. We cover both the pharmaceutical and computational backgrounds, in a pedagogical fashion, as this review is designed to be equally accessible to pharmaceutical researchers interested in what this new computational tool is capable of and experts in molecular modeling who wish to pursue pharmaceutical applications as a context for their research. The field has become too broad for us to concisely describe all work that has been carried out; many comprehensive reviews on subtopics of this area are cited. We discuss the insight molecular dynamics modeling has provided in dissolution and solubility, however, the majority of the discussion is focused on nanomedicine: the development of nanoscale drug delivery vehicles. Here we focus on three areas where molecular dynamics modeling has had a particularly strong impact: (1) behavior in the bloodstream and protective polymer corona, (2) Drug loading and controlled release, and (3) Nanoparticle interaction with both model and biological membranes. We conclude with some thoughts on the role that molecular dynamics simulation can grow to play in the development of new drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Application of proteinous drugs can be associated with difficulties during both in storage/transportation and in the body when they are used. However, using pharmaceutical carbohydrates that are widely employed in drug delivery systems, besides the drug can be protected, these systems leading to gradually release the drug over time, or deliver it to the target cell. Using a combination of molecular modeling and simulation techniques, in this study the effects of five carbohydrate polymers of Chitosan, Alginate, Cyclodextrin, Hyaluronic acid and Pectin on structure and dynamics of interleukin2 protein at 298 K and 343 K, are investigated. Data achieved using molecular modeling methods showed that when the temperature rises, the protein stability decreases. Among different polymers, Chitosan and Cyclodextrin have shown to be able to protect protein against the negative effects of high temperatures in comparison with other polymers which suggests that the use of Cyclodextrin biopolymer for the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations of interleukin2 can be the best possible choice among other polymers investigated in this research.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most alarming worldwide infectious diseases primarily in low-income countries, where the infection shows a higher and unvaried prevalence. In the last years, the emergence and spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains resistant to first-line anti-TB drugs are the cause of major concern and prompted the implementation of new treatments, including the development of new drugs and the repurposing of old ones. Areas covered: In this review, we discuss solutions against TB based on nanomaterials (NMTs), alone or combined with current anti-TB drugs. We will summarize drug delivery platforms tested in in vivo or in vitro models and their activity against mycobacteria. We will describe how the new nanotechnologies based on carbon nanomaterials, like carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide are now facing the panorama of the medical fight against TB. Expert opinion: We foresee that in the next decade carbon nanomaterials will be at the forefront in fighting emerging antibiotic-resistant Mtb strains by shortening treatment periods, reducing adverse effects and mitigating antibiotic use. However, toxicity and biodegradation studies should be done prior to the clinical translation of carbon nanomaterials.

Chitosan/gelatin as a new nano-carrier system for calcium hydroxide delivery in endodontic applications: Development, characterization and process optimization. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2018; 92:540-546.

Abstract
The main aim of this study is preparation, optimization and in vitro characterization of Chitosan/Gelatin nano-carriers (NCs) for calcium hydroxide (CH) to improve its therapeutic potential. The designed system can be used in the endodontic applications demanding a sustained release of calcium and hydroxyl ions. Modeling and optimization of CH loaded polymeric NCs were performed using response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite surface statistical design. The effect of Chitosan concentration (0.1-1% w/v), Gelatin concentration (0.1-1% w/v) and CH concentration (0.05-0.4% w/v) on the particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), drug loading (DL) and encapsulation efficiency (EE) of CH loaded polymeric NCs were investigated. Optimized CH loaded polymeric NCs formulation which obtained using RSM showed spherical and smooth surface with a particle size of 292 nm, PDI of 0.32, DL of 88.8% and EE of 99%. Optimized formulation was evaluated for in vitro calcium ion release in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 7.4 for 14 days. The presence of hydrogen bonding and some intermolecular interactions between Chitosan/Gelatin polymeric materials were confirmed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. These interactions enable Chitosan/Gelatin NCs to load CH and maintain sustained release of Calcium ions from CH during experimental period.
