Mesoporous Matrices as a Promising New Generation of Carriers for Multipolymorphic Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Aripiprazole. Mol Pharm 2023; 20:5655-5667. [PMID: 37756382 PMCID: PMC10630940 DOI: 10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.3c00524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
The enhancement of the properties (i.e., poor solubility and low bioavailability) of currently available active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is one of the major goals of modern pharmaceutical sciences. Among different strategies, a novel and innovative route to reach this milestone seems to be the application of nanotechnology, especially the incorporation of APIs into porous membranes composed of pores of nanometric size and made of nontoxic materials. Therefore, in this work, taking the antipsychotic API aripiprazole (APZ) infiltrated into various types of mesoporous matrices (anodic aluminum oxide, native, and silanized silica) characterized by similar pore diameters (d = 8-10 nm) as an example, we showed the advantage of incorporated systems in comparison to the bulk substance considering the crystallization kinetics, molecular dynamics, and physical stability. Calorimetric investigations supported by the temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that in the bulk system the recrystallization of polymorph III, which next is converted to the mixture of forms IV and I, is visible, while in the case of confined samples polymorphic forms I and III of APZ are produced upon heating of the molten API with different rates. Importantly, the two-step crystallization observed in thermograms obtained for the API infiltrated into native silica templates may suggest crystal formation by the interfacial and core molecules. Furthermore, dielectric studies enabled us to conclude that there is no trace of crystallization of spatially restricted API during one month of storage at T = 298 K. Finally, we found that in contrast to the crystalline and amorphous bulk samples, all examined confined systems show a logarithmic increase in API dissolution over time (very close to a prolonged release effect) without any sign of precipitation. Our data demonstrated that mesoporous matrices appear to be interesting candidates as carriers for unstable amorphous APIs, like APZ. In addition to protecting them against crystallization, they can provide the desired prolonged release effect, which may increase the drug concentration in the blood (resulting in higher bioavailability). We believe that the "nanostructirization" in terms of the application of porous membranes as a novel generation of drug carriers might open unique perspectives in the further development of drugs characterized by prolonged release.

Abstract
The incorporation of polymeric components into aerogels based on clay produces a significant improvement in the physical and thermal properties of the aerogels. In this study, clay-based aerogels were produced from a ball clay by incorporation of angico gum and sodium alginate using a simple, ecologically acceptable mixing method and freeze-drying. The compression test showed a low density of spongy material. In addition, both the compressive strength and the Young's modulus of elasticity of the aerogels showed a progression associated to the decrease in pH. The microstructural characteristics of the aerogels were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical structure was studied by infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transform (FTIR). The TGA curves from a non-oxidizing atmosphere indicated that the clay had a mass loss of 9% above 500 °C and that due to the presence of polysaccharides, the aerogels presented a decomposition of 20% at temperatures above 260 °C. The DSC curves of the aerogels demonstrated a displacement in higher temperatures. In conclusion, the results showed that aerogels of ball clay with the incorporation of polysaccharides, which are still minimally studied, have potential application as thermal insulation considering the mechanical and thermal results obtained.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a physical/biochemical barrier that protects brain parenchyma from potential hazards exerted by different xenobiotics found in the systemic circulation. This barrier is created by "a lipophilic gate" as well as a series of highly organized influx/efflux mechanisms. The BBB bottleneck adversely affects the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents in treating different CNS malignancies such as glioblastoma, an aggressive type of cancer affecting the brain. In the present study, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were conjugated with the transactivator of transcription (TAT) peptide, a cell-penetrating peptide, to produce MSN-NH-TAT with the aim of improving methotrexate (MTX) penetration into the brain. The TAT-modified nanosystem was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. In vitro hemolysis and cell viability studies confirmed the biocompatibility of the MSN-based nanocarriers. In addition, in vivo studies showed that the MTX-loaded MSN-NH-TAT improved brain-to-plasma concentration ratio, brain uptake clearance, and the drug's blood terminal half-life, compared with the use of free MTX. Taken together, the results of the present study indicate that MSN functionalization with TAT is crucial for delivery of MTX into the brain. The present nanosystem represents a promising alternative drug carrier to deliver MTX into the brain via overcoming the BBB.

Abstract
In the present study, the behavior of the calcium channel blocker cilnidipine (CLN) infiltrated into silica (SiO2) and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) porous membranes characterized by a similar pore size (d = 8 nm and d = 10 nm, respectively) as well as the bulk sample has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The obtained data suggested the existence of two sets of CLN molecules in both confined systems (core and interfacial). They also revealed the lack of substantial differences in inter- and intramolecular dynamics of nanospatially restricted samples independently of the applied porous membranes. Moreover, the annealing experiments (isothermal time-dependent measurements) performed on the confined CLN clearly indicated that the whole equilibration process under confinement is governed by structural relaxation. It was also found that the βanneal parameters obtained from BDS and FTIR data upon equilibration of both confined samples are comparable (within 10%) to each other, while the equilibration constants are significantly different. This finding strongly emphasizes that there is a close connection between the inter- and intramolecular dynamics under nanospatial restriction.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have great potential for applications as a drug delivery system (DDS) due to their unique properties such as large pore size, high surface area, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and stable aqueous dispersion. The MSN-mediated DDS can carry chemotherapeutic agents, optical sensors, photothermal agents, short interfering RNA (siRNA), and gene therapeutic agents. The MSN-assisted imaging techniques are applicable in cancer diagnosis. However, their synthesis via a chemical route requires toxic chemicals and is challenging, time-consuming, and energy-intensive, making the process expensive and non-viable. Fortunately, nature has provided a viable alternative material in the form of biosilica from marine resources. In this review, the applications of biosilica nanoparticles synthesized from marine diatoms in the field of drug delivery, biosensing, imaging agents, and regenerative medicine, are highlighted. Insights into the use of biosilica in the field of DDSs are elaborated, with a focus on different strategies to improve the physico-chemical properties with regards to drug loading and release efficiency, targeted delivery, and site-specific binding capacity by surface functionalization. The limitations, as well as the future scope to develop them as potential drug delivery vehicles and imaging agents, in the overall therapeutic management, are discussed.

Abstract
Due to the high number of poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients, oral drug delivery development has become challenging. One of the strategies to enhance drug solubility and to achieve high oral bioavailability is to formulate such compounds into amorphous solid dispersions. In recent years, porous materials have been investigated as possible carriers into which a drug can be adsorbed, such as mesoporous silica, in particular. Unlike the ordered mesoporous network of silica, non-ordered silica already has a "generally regarded as safe" status, and is already used as an excipient in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that products that contain solid dispersions with non-ordered carriers will reach the market sooner and more easily than those with ordered mesoporous carriers. The emphasis of this review is therefore on non-ordered commercially available mesoporous silica and the progress that has been made in development of the use of these materials for improved dissolution rates in oral drug delivery. First, a thorough categorisation of the drug loading methods is presented, followed by discussion on the most important characteristics of solid dispersions (i.e., physical state, stability, drug release). Finally, manufacturability and production of a final solid dosage form are considered.

Abstract
Cellulose and chitosan with remarkable biocompatibility and sophisticated physiochemical characteristics can be a new dawn to the advanced drug nano-carriers in cancer treatment. This study aims to synthesize layer-by-layer bionanocomposites from chitosan and rice straw cellulose encapsulated 5-Fluorouracil (CS-CF/5FU BNCs) using the ionic gelation method and the sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) cross-linker. Data from X-ray and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed successful preparation of CS-CF/5FU BNCs. Based on images of scanning electron microscopy, 48.73 ± 1.52 nm was estimated for an average size of the bionanocomposites as spherical chitosan nanoparticles mostly coated rod-shaped cellulose reinforcement. 5-Fluorouracil indicated an increase in thermal stability after its encapsulation in the bionanocomposites. The drug encapsulation efficiency was found to be 86 ± 2.75%. CS-CF/5FU BNCs triggered higher drug release in a media simulating the colorectal fluid with pH 7.4 (76.82 ± 1.29%) than the gastric fluid with pH 1.2 (42.37 ± 0.43%). In in vitro cytotoxicity assays, cellulose fibers, chitosan nanoparticles and the bionanocomposites indicated biocompatibility towards CCD112 normal cells. Most promisingly, CS-CF/5FU BNCs at 250 µg/mL concentration eliminated 56.42 ± 0.41% of HCT116 cancer cells and only 8.16 ± 2.11% of CCD112 normal cells. Therefore, this study demonstrates that CS-CF/5FU BNCs can be considered as an eco-friendly and innovative nanodrug candidate for potential colorectal cancer treatment.

Abstract
Infectious or immune diseases have caused serious threat to human health due to their complexity and specificity, and emerging drug delivery systems (DDSs) have evolved into the most promising therapeutic strategy for drug-targeted therapy. Various mesoporous biomaterials are exploited and applied as efficient nanocarriers to loading drugs by virtue of their large surface area, high porosity, and prominent biocompatibility. Nanosized mesoporous nanocarriers show great potential in biomedical research, and it has become the research hotspot in the interdisciplinary field. Herein, recent progress and assembly mechanisms on mesoporous inorganic biomaterials (e.g., silica, carbon, metal oxide) are summarized systematically, and typical functionalization methods (i.e., hybridization, polymerization, and doping) for nanocarriers are also discussed in depth. Particularly, structure-activity relationship and the effect of physicochemical parameters of mesoporous biomaterials, including morphologies (e.g., hollow, core-shell), pore textures (e.g., pore size, pore volume), and surface features (e.g., roughness and hydrophilic/hydrophobic) in DDS application are overviewed and elucidated in detail. As one of the important development directions, advanced stimuli-responsive DDSs (e.g., pH, temperature, redox, ultrasound, light, magnetic field) are highlighted. Finally, the prospect of mesoporous biomaterials in disease therapeutics is stated, and it will open a new spring for the development of mesoporous nanocarriers.

Sulfonic Acid Derivative-Modified SBA-15, PHTS and MCM-41 Mesoporous Silicas as Carriers for a New Antiplatelet Drug: Ticagrelor Adsorption and Release Studies. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13132913. [PMID: 32610486 PMCID: PMC7372400 DOI: 10.3390/ma13132913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 06/12/2020] [Accepted: 06/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Three mesoporous, siliceous materials, i.e., SBA-15 (Santa Barbara Amorphous), PHTS (Plugged Hexagonal Templated Silica) and MCM-41 (Mobil Composition of Matter), functionalized with a sulfonic acid derivative, were successfully prepared and applied as the carriers for the poorly water-soluble drug, ticagrelor. The siliceous carriers were characterized using nitrogen sorption analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and elemental analysis. The adsorption studies were conducted in acetonitrile. At the highest equilibrium concentrations, the amount of ticagrelor Qe that adsorbed onto the examined silicas was in the range of 83 to 220 mg/g, increasing in the following order: PHTS-(CH2)3-SO3H < SBA-15-(CH2)3-SO3H < MCM-41-(CH2)3-SO3H. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using the Freundlich, Jovanovich, Langmuir, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Dubinin-Astakhov and Redlich-Peterson models. In order to find the best-fit isotherm for each model, a nonlinear fitting analysis was carried out. Based on the minimized values of the ARE function, the fit of the isotherms to the experimental points for ticagrelor adsorption onto the modified silicas can be ordered as follows: SBA-15-(CH2)3-SO3H (Redlich-Peterson > Dubinin-Astakhov > Temkin), PHTS-(CH2)3-SO3H (Redlich-Peterson > Temkin > Dubinin-Astakhov), MCM-41-(CH2)3-SO3H (Redlich-Peterson > Dubinin-Astakhov > Langmuir). The values of adsorption energy (above 8 kJ/mol) indicate the chemical nature of ticagrelor adsorption onto propyl-sulfonic acid-modified silicas. The results of release studies indicated that at pH 4.5, modified SBA-15 and MCM-41 carriers accelerate the drug dissolution process, compared to the dissolution rate of free crystalline ticagrelor. Intriguingly, modified PHTS silica provides prolonged drug release kinetics compared to other siliceous adsorbents and to the dissolution rate of crystalline ticagrelor. A Weibull release model was employed to describe the release profiles of ticagrelor from the prepared carriers. The time necessary to dissolve 50% and 90% of ticagrelor from mesoporous adsorbents at pH 4.5 increased in the following order: SBA-15-(CH2)3-SO3H < MCM-41-(CH2)3-SO3H < PHTS-(CH2)3-SO3H.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis is a malignant skin disease characterized as keratinocyte hyperproliferation and aberrant differentiation. Our previous work reported that a bibenzyl compound, erianin, has a potent inhibitory effect on keratinocyte proliferation. To improve its poor water-solubility, increase anti- proliferation activity, and enhance the skin delivery, erianin loaded dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres (E/DMSNs) were employed. Results In this work, DMSNs with pore size of 3.5 nm (DMSN1) and 4.6 nm (DMSN2) were fabricated and E/DMSNs showed pore-size-dependent, significantly stronger anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effect than free erianin on human immortalized keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells, resulting from higher cellular uptake efficiency. In addition, compared to free erianin, treatment with E/DMSNs was more effective in reducing mitochondrial membrane potential and increasing cytoplasmic calcium levels, which were accompanied by regulation of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) pathway. Porcine skin was utilized in the ex vivo accumulation and permeation studies, and the results indicated higher drug retention and less drug penetration in the skin when administered as the E/DMSNs-loaded hydrogel compared to the erianin-loaded hydrogel. Conlusions This work not only illustrated the further mechanisms of erianin in anti-proliferation of HaCaT cells but also offer a strategy to enhance the efficiency of erianin and the capacity of skin delivery through the DMSNs drug delivery systems.

In-Vitro and In-Vivo Evaluation of Velpatasvir- Loaded Mesoporous Silica Scaffolds. A Prospective Carrier for Drug Bioavailability Enhancement. Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:E307. [PMID: 32231052 PMCID: PMC7238066 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics12040307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2020] [Revised: 03/06/2020] [Accepted: 03/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The limited aqueous solubility of many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is responsible for their poor performance and low drug levels in blood and at target sites. Various approaches have been adopted to tackle this issue. Most recently, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) have gained attention of pharmaceutical scientists for bio-imaging, bio-sensing, gene delivery, drug solubility enhancement, and controlled and targeted drug release. Here, we have successfully incorporated the poorly water soluble antiviral drug velpatasvir (VLP) in MSN. These spherical particles were 186 nm in diameter with polydispersity index of 0.244. Blank MSN have specific surface area and pore diameter of 602.5 ± 0.7 m2/g and 5.9 nm, respectively, which reduced after successful incorporation of drug. Drug was in amorphous form in synthesized VLP-loaded silica particles (VLP-MSN) with no significant interaction with carrier. Pure VLP showed poor dissolution with progressive increment in pH of dissolution media which could limit its availability in systemic circulation after oral administration. After VLP loading in silica carriers, drug released rapidly over a wide range of pH values, i.e., 1.2 to 6.8, thus indicating an improvement in the solubility profile of VLP. These particles were biocompatible, with an LD50 of 448 µg/mL, and in-vivo pharmacokinetic results demonstrated that VLP-MSN significantly enhanced the bioavailability as compared to pure drug. The above results clearly demonstrate satisfactory in-vitro performance, biocompatibility, non-toxicity and in-vivo bioavailability enhancement with VLP-MSN.

Abstract
Drug repurpose or reposition is recently recognized as a high-performance strategy for developing therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. This approach can significantly reduce the risk of failure, shorten R&D time, and minimize cost and regulatory obstacles. On the other hand, nanotechnology-based delivery systems are extensively investigated in cancer therapy due to their remarkable ability to overcome drug delivery challenges, enhance tumor specific targeting, and reduce toxic side effects. With increasing knowledge accumulated over the past decades, nanoparticle formulation and delivery have opened up a new avenue for repurposing drugs and demonstrated promising results in advanced cancer therapy. In this review, recent developments in nano-delivery and formulation systems based on soft (i.e., DNA nanocages, nanogels, and dendrimers) and condensed (i.e., noble metal nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks) nanomaterials, as well as their theranostic applications in drug repurpose against cancer are summarized.

Abstract
To effectively inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 cells) by the combination method of chemotherapy and magnetic hyperthermia, we fabricated a biomimetic drug delivery (CSiFePNs) system composed of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) containing superparamagnetic ferroferric oxide and Paclitaxel (PTX) coated with MDA-MB-231 cell membranes (CMs). In the in vitro cytotoxicity tests, the MDA-MB-231 cells incubated with CSiFePNs obtained IC50 value of 0.8 μgL-1, 3.5-fold higher than that of SiFePNs. The combination method of chemotherapy and magnetic hyperthermia can effectively inhibit the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells.

Abstract
The objective of our study was to prepare mesoporous silica nanoparticles with a core-shell structure (CSMSNs) and improve the dissolution and bioavailability of celecoxib (Cxb), a water-insoluble drug, by changing its needle-like crystal form. CSMSNs are prepared by a core-shell segmentation self-assembly method. The SBET and Vt of CSMSNs were 890.65 m2/g and 1.23 cm3/g, respectively. Cxb was incorporated into CSMSNs by the solvent evaporation method. The gastrointestinal irritancy of the CSMSNs was evaluated by a gastric mucosa irritation test. In vitro dissolution and in vivo pharmacokinetic tests were carried out to study the improvement in the dissolution behavior and oral bioavailability of Cxb. In conclusion, gastric mucosa irritation study indicated the good biocompatibility of CSMSNs. The cumulative dissolution of CSMSNs-Cxb is 86.2% within 60 min in SIF solution, which may be ascribed to the crystal form change caused by control of the nanochannel for CSMSNs. Moreover, CSMSNs could enhance the 9.9-fold AUC of Cxb. The cumulative dissolution and bioavailability of Cxb were both significantly enhanced by CSMSNs. CSMSNs with a core-shell structure are suitable as a carrier for a poorly water-soluble drug (Cxb).

Abstract
With almost 2 million new HIV infections worldwide each year, the prevention of HIV infection is critical for stopping the pandemic. The only approved form of pre-exposure prophylaxis is a costly daily pill, and it is recognized that several options will be needed to provide protection to the various affected communities around the world. In particular, many at-risk people would benefit from a prevention method that is simple to use and does not require medical intervention or a strict daily regimen. We show that silk fibroin protein can be formulated into insertable discs that encapsulate either an antibody (IgG) or the potent HIV inhibitor 5P12-RANTES. Several formulations were studied, including silk layering, water vapor annealing and methanol treatment to stabilize the protein cargo and impact the release kinetics over weeks. In the case of IgG, high concentrations were released over a short time using methanol treatment, with more sustained results with the use of water vapor annealing and layering during device fabrication. For 5P12-RANTES, sustained release was obtained for 31 days using water vapor annealing. Further, we show that the released inhibitor 5P12-RANTES was functional both in vitro and in ex vivo colorectal tissue. This work shows that silk fibroin discs can be developed into formidable tools to prevent HIV infection.

Abstract
Applicability of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in loading dipyridamole (DDM), a poorly soluble drug, was evaluated. Additionally, the effect of drug-loading efficiency on the release behavior of the MWCNT-DDM system was also investigated. DDM as a model drug was incorporated into MWCNTs with different drug-loading rates (10, 25 and 50%) using the solvent deposition method. The MWCNT-DDM system was successfully established and characterized using common solid-state characterization methods. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption analysis and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were carried out to observe the progress of drug loading. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to systematically assess the crystalline state of the DDM after being loaded into the MWCNTs. Improvements in dissolution rate were evaluated by the dissolution test. The results revealed that with the increase of drug loading, the form of DDM in the MWCNTs changed from amorphous to crystalline state. Also, the release rate of DDM decreased upon increasing the drug-loading rate of carriers. In conclusion, MWCNTs are proven to be promising carriers for loading DDM.

Abstract
A drug release model based on mesocellular foam silica (MCF) for Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) II drugs was conducted. A three-level two-factorial factorial design was carried out for the exploration of the influence of the pore size of MCF (X1) and drug-loading degree (X2) for drug release behaviors. Cumulative release in 1 h (Y1), cumulative release in 24 h (Y2), and rate constant k (Y3) were selected as dependent response variables. A series of MCFs (7MCF, 12MCF, and 17MCF) with arithmetic increased pore diameters was synthesized as drug carriers. The morphologies and structures of MCFs and pore size distributions were detected by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption analysis. With celecoxib as a model drug, nine drug-loaded samples were prepared and further characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction analyses. The release behavior was examined by in vitro dissolution. Factorial design results demonstrated that cumulative release in 1 h and the rate constant k were mainly affected by X2, while cumulative release in 24 h was influenced by both X1 and X2. Furthermore, quadratic equations of Y1, Y2, and Y3 were conducted, respectively. This work was expected to provide some scientific references for designing specific drug delivery models with mesoporous silica carrier.

Abstract
The present paper reported a biomimetic synthesis of mesoporous silicas (BMSs) at room temperature by using synthesized polymers (C16-l-His, C16-l-Pro and C16-l-Trp) which derived from amino acid with ring structures as template under basic condition via co-structural-directing-agent method. The formation mechanism of BMSs and effect of initial synthesis conditions (such as surfactant structure, pH and co-solvents) on morphology and structure of BMSs were systematically studied. Synthesized BMSs were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms. The results showed that the surfactant structure was the dominant factor to direct the final mesostructure of BMSs, since the structure of surfactant affected the structure and size of clusters. Meanwhile the generation of BMSs required very rigorous alkaline condition which controlled the ionization degree of the surfactant and thus contributing to adequate stacking energy. Higher pH resulted in construction of channels with higher curvature. The presence of ethanol was found to facilitate the formation of BMSs with larger particle size. In application, aspirin can be loaded into BMSs with high efficiency, and the drug crystalline state of aspirin transformed from crystalline state to amorphous state during this process, which undoubtedly lead to the improvement of drug dissolution from 72.8% to 100% within 90 min. It is convincible that the biomimetic method presented here provided novel insight on precisely control of mesoporous silica and undoubtedly promoted the application of mesoporous silica materials.

Abstract
Naturally derived prodrugs have a wide range of pharmacological activities, including anticancer, antioxidant, and antiviral effects. However, significant barriers inhibit their use in medicine, e.g. their hydrophobicity. In this comprehensive study, we investigated simple and effective nanoformulations consisting of amine-functionalized and conjugated with folic acid (FA) mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Two types of MSNs were studied: KCC- 1, with mean size 324 nm and mean pore diameter 3.4 nm, and MCM - 41, with mean size 197 and pore diameter 2 nm. Both types of MSNs were loaded with three anticancer prodrugs: curcumin, quercetin, and colchicine. The nanoformulations were tested to target in vitro human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) and HeLa cancer cells. The amine-functionalized and FA-conjugated curcumin-loaded, especially KCC-1 MSNs penetrated all cells organs and steadily released curcumin. The FA-conjugated MSNs displayed higher cellular uptake, sustained intracellular release, and cytotoxicity effects in comparison to non-conjugated MSNs. The KCC-1 type MSNs carrying curcumin displayed the highest anticancer activity. Apoptosis was induced through specific signaling molecular pathways (caspase-3, H2O2, c-MET, and MCL-1). The nanoformulations displayed also an enhanced antioxidant activity compared to the pure forms of the prodrugs, and the effect depended on the time of release, type of MSN, prodrug, and assay used. FA-conjugated MSNs carrying curcumin and other safe natural prodrugs offer new possibilities for targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are attracting increasing interest for potential biomedical applications. With tailored mesoporous structure, huge surface area and pore volume, selective surface functionality, as well as morphology control, MSNs exhibit high loading capacity for therapeutic agents and controlled release properties if modified with stimuli-responsive groups, polymers or proteins. In this review article, the applications of MSNs in pharmaceutics to improve drug bioavailability, reduce drug toxicity, and deliver with cellular targetability are summarized. Particularly, the exciting progress in the development of MSNs-based effective delivery systems for poorly soluble drugs, anticancer agents, and therapeutic genes are highlighted.

Abstract
Here, the mesoporous silica (Sylysia 350) was selected as mesoporous material, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) was selected as crystallization inhibitor, and febuxostat (FBT) was selected as model drug, respectively. The FBT-Sylysia-HPMC nanomatrix (FBT@SHN) was prepared. The characteristics of FBT@SHN were investigated in vitro and in vivo. Our results indicated that the FBT in FBT@SHN was in amorphous form. The solubility and dissolution of FBT in FBT@SHN were significantly increased. The oral bioavailability of FBT in FBT@SHN was greatly improved 5.8-fold compared with that in FBT suspension. This nanomatrix could be used as a drug delivery platform for improving the oral bioavailability.

Abstract
Sizing drugs down to the submicron and nanometer scale using nanoparticles has been extensively used in pharmaceutical industries to overcome the poor aqueous solubility of potential therapeutic agents. Here, we report the encapsulation and release of resveratrol, a promising anti-inflammatory and anticancer nutraceutical, from the mesopores of MCM-48-type silica nanospheres of various particle sizes, i.e., 90, 150, and 300 nm. Furthermore, the influence of the carrier pore size on drug solubility was also evaluated (3.5 vs 7 nm). From our results, it is observed that the saturated solubility could depend not only on the pore size but also on the particle size of the nanocarriers. Moreover, with our resveratrol-mesoporous silica nanoparticles formulation, we have observed that the permeability of resveratrol encapsulated in MCM-48 nanoparticles (90 nm) can be enhanced compared to a resveratrol suspension when tested through the human colon carcinoma cell monolayer (Caco-2). Using an in vitro NF-κB assay, we showed that resveratrol encapsulation did not alter its bioactivity and, at lower concentration, i.e., 5 μg mL-1, resveratrol encapsulation provided higher anti-inflammatory activity compared to both resveratrol suspension and solution. All combined, the reported results clearly highlight the potential of small size mesoporous silica nanoparticles as next generation nanocarriers for hydrophobic drugs and nutraceuticals.

Abstract
The oral pathway is considered as the most common method for drug administration, although many drugs, especially the highly pH- and/or enzymatic biodegradable peptide drugs, are very difficult to formulate and achieve a good intestinal absorption. Efficient systematic absorption of an active substance, delivered via oral ingestion, is only achievable if the drug (1) is substantially present as a solution in the gastrointestinal tract, (2) is able to penetrate through the intestinal mucus, (3) overcomes the different gastrointestinal barriers, and (4) provides an effective therapeutic dose. Therefore, optimization of oral bioavailability of poorly-soluble drugs still remains a significant challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. Even though numerous conventional drug carriers have successfully solved some of the issues related to oral delivery of poorly-soluble drugs, only few of them met commercialization requirements. These drawbacks have led the scientific world to reconsider its approaches toward targeted drug delivery systems and researchers started looking for alternative vectorized carriers. In this area, nanoparticle-based materials have several significant advantages over free and non-formulated drugs. For example, nanosized porous silica carriers allow for more sustained and controlled drug release or improved oral bioavailability. Thus, in the present review, we will highlight the most important features of nanostructured silica drug carriers, such as particle size, particle shape, surface roughness or surface functionalization, and underline the key advantages of these nanosupports. In particular, this article will discuss recent progress and challenges in the area of mesoporous silica nanocarriers used for oral drug delivery. Additional emphasis will be set on the biological and chemical features of the gastrointestinal tract as well as currently tested nanoformulations and strategies to avoid drug degradation in the gastrointestinal environment.

Abstract
The present study established indometacin (IMC) delivery system with chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSNs) and amino-modified chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Amino-CMSNs) that previously reported as pharmaceutical excipients, and their systemic biological effects, mainly consisting of in vitro drug intestinal permeability, haemolysis assay, in vivo pharmacokinetics, anti-inflammation pharmacodynamics and gastric irritation, were addressed. It turned out that the two IMC delivery systems established by CMSN and Amino-CMSN significantly improved drug intestinal permeability due to the improved drug dissolution caused by conversion of drug crystalline state to amorphous phase. Further, IMC-loaded Amino-CMSN was the superior choice because of its higher dissolution rate. Furthermore, CMSN and Amino-CMSN were safe to be circulated in blood, and Amino-CMSN with significant lower haemolysis ratio than CMSN was better for the minimum haemolytic behaviour. Oral bioavailability and anti-inflammation effect of IMC delivery systems established by CMSN and Amino-CMSN were enhanced compared with IMC, which was attributed to the primary cause of the improvement of IMC dissolution, and Amino-CMSN exhibited better biological effect. As a result of these facts, it is believed that the effective delivery of IMC by Amino-CMSN will provide a new candidate to formulate poorly soluble drugs so as to significantly develop pharmaceutical application.

Abstract
New approaches in pharmaceutical chemistry have resulted in more complex drug molecules in the quest to achieve higher affinity to their targets. However, these 'highly active' drugs can also suffer from poor water solubility. Hence, poorly water soluble drugs became a major challenge in drug formulation, and this problem is increasing, as currently about 40 of the marketed drugs and 90% of drug candidates are classified as poorly water soluble. Various approaches exist to circumvent poor water solubility and poor dissolution rate in aqueous environment, however, each having disadvantages and certain limitations. Recently, mesoporous silica materials (MSMs) have been proposed to be used as matrices for enhancing the apparent solubility and dissolution rate of different drug molecules. MSMs are ideal candidates for this purpose, as silica is a "generally regarded as safe" (GRAS) material, is biodegradable, and can be readily surface-modified in order to optimize drug loading and subsequent release in the human body. The major advantage of mesoporous silica as drug delivery systems (DDSs) for poorly water soluble drugs lies in their pore size, pore morphology, and versatility in alteration of the surface groups, which can result in optimized interactions between a drug candidate and MSM carrier by modifying the pore surfaces. Furthermore, the drug of interest can be loaded into these pores in a preferably amorphous state, which can increase the drug dissolution properties dramatically. The highlights of this review include a critical discussion about the modification of the physico-chemical properties of MSMs and how these physico-chemical modifications influence the drug loading and the subsequent dissolution of poorly water soluble drugs. It aims to further promote the use of MSMs as alternative strategy to common methods like solubility enhancement by cyclodextrins, micronization, or microemulsion techniques. This review can provide guidance on how to tailor MSMs to achieve optimized drug loading and drug dissolution.

Abstract
In recent years, nanosuspension has been considered effective in the delivery of water-soluble drugs. One of the main challenges to effective drug delivery is designing an appropriate nanosuspension preparation approach with low energy input and erosion contamination, such as the bottom-up method. This review focuses on bottom-up technologies for preparation of nanosuspensions. The features and advantages of drug nanosuspension, including bottom-up methods as well as the corresponding characterization techniques, solidification methods, and drug delivery dosage forms, are discussed in detail. Certain limitations of commercial nanosuspension products are also reviewed.

Abstract
Hybrid mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) modified with polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) through the biodegradable disulfide bonds were prepared to achieve 'on demand' drug release. In this system, PEG chains were chosen as the representative gatekeepers that can block drugs within the mesopores of MSNs. After the addition of glutathione (GSH), the gatekeepers were removed from the pore outlets of MSNs, followed by the release of encapsulated drugs. In this research, the effects of grafting density of gatekeepers on the drug release and biocompatibility of silica carriers were also investigated. First, PEG modified MSNs were prepared by the condensation reaction between the carboxyl groups of MSN and the hydroxyl of PEG. The structure of the resultant MSN-SS-PEG was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Rhodamine B (RhB) as the model drug was loaded into MSNs. The in vitro assay results indicated that RhB was released rapidly after the addition of 10 mM GSH; M1-SS-PEG had the best capping efficiency compared with M0.5 and M1.5 groups. Moreover, hemolysis assay, serum protein adsorption and cell viability test indicated that with the increase of PEG grafting density, the biocompatibility of silica carriers increased.

Abstract
The purposes of this investigation are to design mesoporous carbon (MC) with spherical pore channels and incorporate CEL to it for changing its needlelike crystal form and improving its dissolution and bioavailability. A series of solid-state characterization methods, such as SEM, TEM, DSC and XRD, were employed to systematically investigate the existing status of celecoxib (CEL) within the pore channels of MC. The pore size, pore volume and surface area of samples were characterized by nitrogen physical absorption. Gastric mucosa irritation test was carried out to evaluate the safety of mesoporous carbon as a drug carrier. Dissolution tests and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies were conducted to confirm the improvement in drug dissolution kinetics and oral bioavailability. Uptake experiments were conducted to investigate the mechanism of the improved oral bioavailability. The results of solid state characterization showed that MC was prepared successfully and CEL was incorporated into the mesoporous channels of the MC. The crystallinity of CEL in MC was affected by different loading methods, which involve evaporation method and melting method. The dissolution rate of CEL from MC was found to be significantly higher than that of pure CEL, which attributed to reduced crystallinity of CEL. The gastric mucosa irritation test indicated that the MC caused no harm to the stomach and produced a protective effect on the gastric mucosa. Uptake experiments indicated that MC enhanced the amount of CEL absorbed by Caco-2 cells. Moreover, oral bioavailability of CEL loaded within the MC was approximately 1.59-fold greater than that of commercial CEL. In conclusion, MC was a safe carrier to load water insoluble drug by controlling the crystallinity or crystal form with improvement in drug dissolution kinetics and oral bioavailability.
