Abstract
Edible oil-based switchable-hydrophilicity solvent liquid-liquid microextraction was coupled with smartphone digital image colorimetry for the determination of total curcuminoids. Images of the colored extracts were captured in a laboratory-made colorimetric box, which were then split into their red-green-blue channels. Optimum extraction conditions were achieved using 550 μL of almond oil as the extraction solvent and 0.40 M sodium hydroxide for hydrolysis of the oil to the salt of its fatty acid. Phosphoric acid (2.0 mL, 4.0 M) was used as the hydrophilicity-switching trigger, while pH of the sample solution adjusted to 5.50 and extraction time of 1.0 min, were found to be optimum. Optimum detection conditions were achieved at a distance of 7.0 cm from the detection camera, a region of interest of 175 px2, a detection wavelength of 420 nm and 50.0% brightness of the light source. The limit of detection was found to be 0.020 μg mL-1. A good linearity was achieved as indicated by coefficients of determination above 0.9965. The proposed method was used for the determination of total curcuminoids in tea and turmeric samples with percentage relative recoveries of 95.0-105.0% and percentage relative standard deviations below 8.7%.

Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) are the two surgical techniques generally used for periodontitis disease treatment. These techniques are based on a barrier membrane to direct the growth of new bone and gingival tissue at sites with insufficient volumes or dimensions of bone or gingiva for proper function, esthetics, or prosthetic restoration. Numerous studies have highlighted biocompatibility, space-creation, cell-blocking, bioactivity, and proper handling as essential characteristics of a membrane's performance. Given that bacterial infection is the primary cause of periodontitis, we strongly believe that addressing the antimicrobial properties of these membranes is of utmost importance. Indeed, the absence of effective inhibition of periodontal pathogens has been recognized as a primary factor contributing to the failure of GTR/GBR membranes. Therefore, we suggest considering antimicrobial properties as one of the key factors in the design of GTR/GBR membranes. Antibiotics are potent medications frequently administered systemically to combat microbes and mitigate bacterial infections. Nevertheless, the excessive use of antibiotics has resulted in a surge in bacterial resistance. To overcome this challenge, alternative antibacterial substances have been developed. In this review, we explore the utilization of alternative substances with antimicrobial properties for topical application in membranes. The use of antibacterial nanoparticles, phytochemical compounds, and antimicrobial peptides in this context was investigated. By carefully selecting and integrating antimicrobial agents into GTR/GBR membranes, we can significantly enhance their effectiveness in combating periodontitis. These antibacterial substances not only act as barriers against pathogenic bacteria but also promote the process of periodontal healing.

Abstract
The maintenance of oral health is of utmost importance for an individual's holistic well-being and standard of living. Within the oral cavity, symbiotic microorganisms actively safeguard themselves against potential foreign diseases by upholding a multifaceted equilibrium. Nevertheless, the occurrence of an imbalance can give rise to a range of oral infectious ailments, such as dental caries, periodontitis, and oral candidiasis. Presently, clinical interventions encompass the physical elimination of pathogens and the administration of antibiotics to regulate bacterial and fungal infections. Given the limitations of various antimicrobial drugs frequently employed in dental practice, the rising incidence of oral inflammation, and the escalating bacterial resistance to antibiotics, it is imperative to explore alternative remedies that are dependable, efficacious, and affordable for the prevention and management of oral infectious ailments. There is an increasing interest in the creation of novel antimicrobial agents derived from natural sources, which possess attributes such as safety, cost-effectiveness, and minimal adverse effects. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of natural products on the development and progression of oral infectious diseases. Specifically, these products exert their influences by mitigating dental biofilm formation, impeding the proliferation of oral pathogens, and hindering bacterial adhesion to tooth surfaces. The review also encompasses an examination of the various classes of natural products, their antimicrobial mechanisms, and their potential therapeutic applications and limitations in the context of oral infections. The insights garnered from this review can support the promising application of natural products as viable therapeutic options for managing oral infectious diseases.

Abstract
This study developed a biomimetic composite bioink consisting of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) /chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) for extrusion-based 3D bioprinting. Additionally, curcumin(Cur)-loaded nanoparticles were incorporated which increased the proliferation and antibacterial activity of biomimetic skin constructs. The hydrogel, curcumin-loaded NPs, and the biocomposite was characterized chemically and physically. The results indicated proper modified gelatin with tunable physical characteristics, e.g., swelling ratio and biodegradability up to 1200 % and 25 days, respectively. In addition, the characterized CSNPs showed good distribution with a size of 370 nm and a zeta potential of 41.1 mV. We investigated the mechanical and cytocompatibility properties of chitosan nanoparticles encapsulated in hydrogel for emulating an extracellular matrix suitable for skin tissue engineering. CSNPs entrapped in GelMA (15 % w/v) exhibited controlled drug release during 5 days, which was fitted into various kinetic models to study the mass transfer mechanism behavior. Also, the composite hydrogels were effective as a barrier against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria at a concentration of 50 μg/ml nanoparticles in GelMA 15 %. Furthermore, the biocomposite was applied on Wistar rats for wound healing. As a result, this study provides a GelMA-NP50-Cur3 scaffold that promotes cell proliferation and decreases microbial infections in wounds.

Abstract
Encapsulation and nutrient addition in bacterial formulations have disadvantages concerning cell viability during release, storage, and under field conditions. Then, the objective of this work was to encapsulate a bacterial consortium with hydrocarbon-degrading capacities in different matrices composed of cross-linked alginate/ polyvinyl alcohol /halloysite beads (M1, M2, and M3) containing nanoliposomes loaded with or without nutrients and evaluate their viability and release in a liquid medium, and soil (microcosmos). Also, evaluate their capacity to remove total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) for 165 days and matrices characterization. The encapsulate consortium showed a quick adaptation to contaminated soil and a percentage of removal (PR) of TPH up to 30% after seven days. All the matrices displayed a PR of up to 90% after 165 days. The matrix M2 displayed significant resistance to degradation and higher cell viability with a PR of 94%. This result supports the encapsulation of bacteria in a sustainable matrix supplemented with nutrients as a well-looked strategy for improving viability and survival and, therefore, enhancing their effectiveness in the remediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) is among the most natural and effective antitumor drugs for cancer treatment. These drugs have low solubility and short half-lives that reduce their effectiveness in drug release systems. Herein, a hydrogel nanocarrier containing chitosan (CS), alumina (γ-Al2O3), and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) was prepared by the water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double nanoemulsion method. DLS revealed a nanocarrier size of 227 nm, with a zeta potential of -37.8 mV, which corroborates its stability. FE-SEM showed its quasi-spherical shape, FT-IR and XRD confirmed the presence of all the components in the nanocomposite and gave information about the intermolecular interactions between them and the crystalline nature of the nanocarrier, respectively. The drug loading (48 %) and entrapment efficiency (86 %) were higher than those reported previously for other CUR nanocarriers. The drug release profile revealed a controlled and stable release, and a pH-sensitive behavior, with faster CUR release in an acid environment. The breast cancer cell line was examined by cytotoxicity and cell apoptosis analyses. The results showed that the slow release over time and the programmed cell death were due to interactions between CUR and the nanocarrier. Considering the results obtained herein, CS/γAl2O3/CQDs/CUR can be considered as a promising new nanosystem for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Polysaccharides, due to their remarkable features, have gained significant prominence in the sustainable production of nanoparticles (NPs). High market demand and minimal production cost, compared to the chemically synthesised NPs, demonstrate a drive towards polysaccharide-based nanoparticles (PSNPs) benign to environment. Various approaches are used for the synthesis of PSNPs including cross-linking, polyelectrolyte complexation, and self-assembly. PSNPs have the potential to replace a wide diversity of chemical-based agents within the food, health, medical and pharmacy sectors. Nevertheless, the considerable challenges associated with optimising the characteristics of PSNPs to meet specific targeting applications are of utmost importance. This review provides a detailed compilation of recent accomplishments in the synthesis of PSNPs, the fundamental principles and critical factors that govern their rational fabrication, as well as various characterisation techniques. Noteworthy, the multiple use of PSNPs in different disciplines such as biomedical, cosmetics agrochemicals, energy storage, water detoxification, and food-related realms, is accounted in detail. Insights into the toxicological impacts of the PSNPs and their possible risks to human health are addressed, and efforts made in terms of PSNPs development and optimising strategies that allow for enhanced delivery are highlighted. Finally, limitations, potential drawbacks, market diffusion, economic viability and future possibilities for PSNPs to achieve widespread commercial use are also discussed.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:125134.

Abstract
A novel pH-sensitive nanocarrier containing chitosan (CS), polyacrylic acid (PAA), and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was designed via water/oil/water (W/O/W) emulsification to administer curcumin (CUR) drug. g-C3N4 nanosheets with a high surface area and porous structure were produced via simple one-step pyrolysis process using thiourea as precursor, and incorporated into CS/PAA hydrogel. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to assess the crystalline structure of the nanocarrier and the interactions between its components, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed a spherical structure and confirmed the g-C3N4 impregnation into the CS/PAA matrix. Zeta potential and dynamic light scattering (DLS) provided information about the surface charge and average size distribution. High CUR loading and entrapment efficiencies were obtained, which were further improved upon addition of g-C3N4. The release kinetics of drug-loaded CS/PAA/g-C3N4 nanocomposites were investigated at pH = 5.4 and pH = 7.4, and the results showed an excellent controlled pH-sensitive release profile. Cell apoptosis and in vitro cytotoxicity were investigated using flow cytometry and MTT analyses. CS/PAA/g-C3N4/CUR resulted in the highest rate of apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, demonstrating the excellent nanocomposite efficacy in eliminating cancerous cells. CS/PAA hydrogel coated with g-C3N4 shows great potential for pH-sensitive controlled drug release.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the effect and mechanism responsible for how curcumin affects the biofilm formation by Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). DESIGN The antibacterial activity of curcumin was evaluated by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The mass of the biofilm was measured by crystal violet staining. Transcriptome sequencing was used to obtain all the transcript information associated with the biological activity of curcumin-treated S. mutans. Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to examine the expression levels of related biofilm formation genes. RESULTS The MIC value for curcumin was 64 μM. Curcumin inhibited the formation of a biofilm by S. mutans and degraded mature biofilms. A gene ontology enrichment analysis showed that the DEGs were significantly relevant to biofilm formation. In addition, 17 significantly enriched Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways (p ≤ 0.01) were identified and were potentially associated with the biochemical metabolic processes of S. mutans. DEGs associated with the biofilm formation of S. mutants, including gtfB, gtfC, rgpG, spaP, spxA1, spxA2, bacA, lrgB, and gshAB. The qRT-PCR results were consistent with transcriptome sequencing that the expression levels of gtfB, gtfC, rgpG, and spaP significantly decreased in the curcumin-treated group, whereas the expression levels of spx1, spx2, bacA, lrgB, and gshAB were up-regulated. CONCLUSIONS Curcumin showed marked inhibitory effects against the formation of biofilms by S. mutans and degradation of formed biofilms.

Abstract
Cancer, as one of the most challenging diseases of the last century, has a significant number of patients and deaths every year. Various strategies have been explored for the treatment of cancer. Chemotherapy is one of the methods of treating cancer. Doxorubicin is one of the compounds used in chemotherapy to kill cancer cells. Due to their unique properties and low toxicity, metal oxide nanoparticles are effective in combination therapy and increase the effectiveness of anti-cancer compounds. The limited in vivo circulatory period, poor solubility, and inadequate penetration of doxorubicin (DOX) restrict its use in cancer treatment, notwithstanding its attractive characteristics. It is possible to circumvent some of the difficulties in cancer therapy by using green synthesized pH-responsive nanocomposite consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), titanium dioxide (TiO2) modified with agarose (Ag) macromolecules. TiO2 incorporation into the PVP-Ag nanocomposite resulted in limited increased loading and encapsulation efficiencies from 41 % to 47 % and 84 % to 88.5 %, respectively. DOX diffusion among normal cells is prevented by the PVP-Ag-TiO2 nanocarrier at pH = 7.4, though the acidic intracellular microenvironments activate the PVP-Ag-TiO2 nanocarrier at pH = 5.4. Characterization of the nanocarrier was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometry, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potential. The average particle size and the zeta potential of the particles showed values of 349.8 nm and +57 mV, respectively. In vitro release after 96 h showed a release rate of 92 % at pH 7.4 and a release rate of 96 % at pH 5.4. Meanwhile, the initial release after 24 h was 42 % for pH 7.4 and 76 % for pH 5.4. As shown by an MTT analysis on MCF-7 cells, the toxicity of DOX-loaded PVP-Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite was substantially greater than that of unbound DOX and PVP-Ag-TiO2. After integrating TiO2 nanomaterials into the PVP-Ag-DOX nanocarrier, flow cytometry data showed a greater stimulation of cell death. These data indicate that the DOX-loaded nanocomposite is a suitable alternative for drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Dental caries is the most common oral disease, with high prevalence rates in adolescents and low-income and lower-middle-income countries. This disease originates from acid production by bacteria, leading to demineralization of the dental enamel and the formation of cavities. The treatment of caries remains a global challenge and the development of effective drug delivery systems is a potential strategy. In this context, different drug delivery systems have been investigated to remove oral biofilms and remineralize dental enamel. For a successful application of these systems, it is necessary that they remain adhered to the surfaces of the teeth to allow enough time for the removal of biofilms and enamel remineralization, thus, the use of mucoadhesive systems is highly encouraged. Among the systems used for this purpose, liquid crystalline systems, polymer-based nanoparticles, lipid-based nanoparticles, and inorganic nanoparticles have demonstrated great potential for preventing and treating dental caries through their own antimicrobial and remineralization properties or through delivering drugs. Therefore, the present review addresses the main drug delivery systems investigated in the treatment and prevention of dental caries.

Production and Anti-Inflammatory Performance of PVA Hydrogels Loaded with Curcumin Encapsulated in Octenyl Succinic Anhydride Modified Schizophyllan as Wound Dressings. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28031321. [PMID: 36770985 PMCID: PMC9921521 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28031321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Amphiphilic polysaccharides can be used as wall materials and applied to encapsulate hydrophobic active chemicals; moreover, there is significant demand for novel medical high-molecular-weight materials with various functions. In order to prepare amphiphilic schizophyllan (SPG), octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) was chosen to synthesize OSA-modified schizophyllan (OSSPG) using an esterified reaction. The modification of OSSPG was demonstrated through FT-IR and thermal analysis. Moreover, it was found that OSSPG has a better capacity for loading curcumin, and the loading amount was 20 μg/mg, which was 2.6 times higher than that of SPG. In addition, a hydrogel made up of PVA, borax, and C-OSSPG (OSSPG loaded with curcumin) was prepared by means of the one-pot method, based on the biological effects of curcumin and the immune-activating properties of SPG. The mechanical properties and biological activity of the hydrogel were investigated. The experimental results show that the dynamic cross-linking of PVA and borax provided the C-OSSPG/BP hydrogel dressing with exceptional self-healing properties, and it was discovered that the C-OSSPG content increased the hydrogel's swelling and moisturizing properties. In fibroblast cell tests, the cells treated with hydrogel had survival rates of 80% or above. Furthermore, a hydrogel containing C-OSSPG could effectively promote cell migration. Due to the excellent anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin, the hydrogel also significantly reduces the generation of inflammatory factors, such as TNF-α and IL-6, and thus has a potential application as a wound dressing medicinal material.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections can kill 700,000 individuals globally each year and is considered among the top 10 global health threats faced by humanity as the arsenal of antibiotics is becoming dry and alternate antibacterial molecule is in demand. Nanoparticles of curcumin exhibit appreciable broad-spectrum antibacterial activity using unique and novel mechanisms and thus the process deserves to be reviewed and further researched to clearly understand the mechanisms. Based on the antibiotic resistance, infection, and virulence potential, a list of clinically important bacteria was prepared after extensive literature survey and all recent reports on the antibacterial activity of curcumin and its nanoformulations as well as their mechanism of antibacterial action have been reviewed. Curcumin, nanocurcumin, and its nanocomposites with improved aqueous solubility and bioavailability are very potential, reliable, safe, and sustainable antibacterial molecule against clinically important bacterial species that uses multitarget mechanism such as inactivation of antioxidant enzyme, reactive oxygen species-mediated cellular damage, and inhibition of acyl-homoserine-lactone synthase necessary for quorum sensing and biofilm formation, thereby bypassing the mechanisms of bacterial antibiotic resistance. Nanoformulations of curcumin can thus be considered as a potential and sustainable antibacterial drug candidate to address the issue of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Curcumin has been used as a photosensitizer (PS) for antimicrobial photodynamic chemotherapy (PACT). However, its low solubility, instability, and poor bioavailability challenge its in vivo application. This study aimed to synthesize curcumin-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (curcumin-NP) and determine their antimicrobial and cytotoxic effects. Nanoparticles (NP) were synthesized using polycaprolactone (PCL) as a polymer by the nanoprecipitation method. Curcumin-NP was characterized by particle size, polydispersity index and zeta potential, scanning electron microscopy, and curcumin encapsulation efficiency (EE). Curcumin-NP was compared to free curcumin solubilized in 10% DMSO as photosensitizers for PACT in single and multispecies Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Streptococcus oralis biofilms. Chlorhexidine 0.12% (CHX) and ultrapure water were used as positive and negative controls. The cytotoxic effect of curcumin-NP was evaluated on human periodontal ligament fibroblast cells (HPLF). Data were analyzed by ANOVA (α=0.05). Curcumin-NP exhibited homogeneity and stability in solution, small particle size, and 67.5% EE of curcumin. Curcumin-NP presented reduced antibiofilm activity at 500 µg/ml, although in planktonic cultures it showed inhibitory and bactericidal effect. Curcumin-NP and curcumin with and without photoactivation were not cytotoxic to HPLF cells. Curcumin-NP has antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties, with better effects when associated with blue light, being a promising therapy for preventing and treating peri-implant diseases.

Abstract
Despite its widespread usage as a chemotherapy drug in cancer treatment, doxorubicin (DOX) has limitations such as short in vivo circulation time, low solubility, and poor permeability. In this regard, a pH‐responsive chitosan (CS)‐ montmorillonite (MMT)‐ nitrogen‐doped carbon quantum dots (NCQDs) nanocomposite was first developed, loaded with DOX, and then incorporated into a double emulsion to further develop the sustained release. The incorporated NCQDs into the CS‐MMT hydrogel exhibited enhanced loading and entrapment efficiencies. The presence of NCQDs nanoparticles in the CS‐MMT hydrogel also resulted in an extended pH‐responsive release of DOX over a period of 96 h compared to that of CS‐MMT‐DOX nanocarriers at pH 5.4. Based on the Korsmeyer‐Peppas model, there was a controlled DOX release at pH 5.4, while no diffusion was observed at pH 7.4, indicating fewer side effects. MTT assay showed that the cytotoxicity of DOX‐loaded CS‐MMT‐NCQDs hydrogel nanocomposite was significantly higher than those of free DOX (p < 0.001) and CS‐MMT‐NCQDs (p < 0.001) on MCF‐7 cells. Flow cytometry results demonstrated that a higher apoptosis induction achieved after incorporating NCQDs nanoparticles into CS‐MMT‐DOX nanocarrier. These findings suggest that the DOX‐loaded nanocomposite is a promising candidate for the targeted treatment of cancer cells.

Abstract
Oral cavity is an ideal habitat for more than 1,000 species of microorganisms. The diverse oral microbes form biofilms over the hard and soft tissues in the oral cavity, affecting the oral ecological balance and the development of oral diseases, such as caries, apical periodontitis, and periodontitis. Currently, antibiotics are the primary agents against infectious diseases; however, the emergence of drug resistance and the disruption of oral microecology have challenged their applications. The discovery of new antibiotic-independent agents is a promising strategy against biofilm-induced infections. Natural products from traditional medicine have shown potential antibiofilm activities in the oral cavity with high safety, cost-effectiveness, and minimal adverse drug reactions. Aiming to highlight the importance and functions of natural products from traditional medicine against oral biofilms, here we summarized and discussed the antibiofilm effects of natural products targeting at different stages of the biofilm formation process, including adhesion, proliferation, maturation, and dispersion, and their effects on multi-species biofilms. The perspective of antibiofilm agents for oral infectious diseases to restore the balance of oral microecology is also discussed.

Abstract
The development of restorative materials containing antibacterial agents is an alternative to reduce the progression of caries lesions. OBJECTIVE to compare the influence of the degree of crosslinking of chitosan particles loaded with dibasic calcium phosphate (DCPA) on the mechanical properties, degree of conversion (DC), and antimicrobial properties of experimental composites. METHODS Chitosan/DCPA particles were synthesized by the electrospraying, crosslinked by 0, 8, or 16 h in glutaraldehyde, and characterized by zeta potential and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against S. mutans. Experimental resin composites of Bis-GMA and TEGDMA and 59.5% of barium glass were synthesized, chitosan/DCPA particles were added at 0 or 0.5 wt% with the different crosslinking time. The materials were subject to DC analysis, three-point bending test at 24 h and 7 days, and antimicrobial assays. Data were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey test (α = 0.05). RESULTS The particles with longer crosslinking time presented higher zeta potential and MIC, and the composite containing these particles showed significantly higher biofilm inhibition than the control group. The other two groups were similar to each other and the control. The composite containing particles with 88 h crosslinking time showed the lowest flexural strength at 7 days in water, and materials with non-crosslinked particles and longer crosslinking time presented flexural strength similar to control. The flexural modulus and DC showed no statistical difference among groups. SIGNIFICANCE composite resin containing 0.5% chitosan/DCPA particles crosslinked by 16 h showed a reduction of biofilm formation without affecting the mechanical properties in relation to the control.

A novel pH-responsive nanoniosomal emulsion for sustained release of curcumin from a chitosan-based nanocarrier: emphasis on the concurrent improvement of loading, sustained release, and apoptosis induction. Biotechnol Prog 2022; 38:e3280. [PMID: 35678755 DOI: 10.1002/btpr.3280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2022] [Revised: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Curcumin application as an anti-cancer drug is faced with several impediments. This study has developed a platform that facilitates the sustained release of curcumin, improves loading efficiency, and anti-cancer activity. Montmorillonite (MMT) nanoparticles were added to chitosan (CS)-agarose (Aga) hydrogel and then loaded with curcumin (Cur) to prepare a curcumin-loaded nanocomposite hydrogel. The loading capacity increased from 63% to 76% by adding MMT nanoparticles to a chitosan-agarose hydrogel. Loading the fabricated nanocomposite in the nanoniosomal emulsion resulted in sustained release of curcumin under acidic conditions. Release kinetics analysis showed diffusion and erosion are the dominant release mechanisms, indicating non-fickian (or anomalous) transport based on the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. FTIR spectra confirmed that all nanocomposite components were present in the fabricated nanocomposite. Besides, XRD results corroborated the amorphous structure of the prepared nanocomposite. Zeta potential results corroborated the stability of the fabricated nanocarrier. Cytotoxicity of the prepared CS-Aga-MMT-Cur on MCF-7 cells was comparable to that of curcumin-treated cells (p <0.001). Moreover, the percentage of apoptotic cells increased due to the enhanced release profile resulting from the addition of MMT to the hydrogel and the incorporation of the fabricated nanocomposite into the nanoniosomal emulsion. To recapitulate, the current delivery platform improved loading, sustained release, and curcumin anti-cancer effect. Hence, this platform could be a potential candidate to mitigate cancer therapy restrictions with curcumin. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
To combat the public health threat posed by multiple-drug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, new drugs with novel chemistry and modes of action are needed. In this study, several drugs including Hesperidin (HES), curcumin (CUR), and Amphotericin B (AmpB) drug–nanoparticle formulations were tested for antibacterial strength against MDR Gram-positive bacteria, including Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli K1, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, and Serratia marcescens. Nanoparticles were synthesized and subjected to Atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, and Zetasizer for their detailed characterization. Antibacterial assays were performed to determine their bactericidal efficacy. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays were carried out to measure drugs’ and drug–nanoparticles’ cytotoxic effects on human cells. Spherical NPs ranging from 153 to 300 nm were successfully synthesized. Results from antibacterial assays revealed that drugs and drug–nanoparticle formulations exerted bactericidal activity against MDR bacteria. Hesperidin alone failed to exhibit antibacterial effects but, upon conjugation with cinnamic-acid-based magnetic nanoparticle, exerted significant bactericidal activity against both the Gram-positive and Gram-negative isolates. AmpB-LBA-MNPs produced consistent, potent antibacterial efficacy (100% kill) against all Gram-positive bacteria. AmpB-LBA-MNPs showed strong antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Intriguingly, all the drugs and their conjugated counterpart except AmpB showed minimal cytotoxicity against human cells. In summary, these innovative nanoparticle formulations have the potential to be utilized as therapeutic agents against infections caused by MDR bacteria and represent a significant advancement in our effort to counter MDR bacterial infections.

Abstract
Curcuma longa Linn. (C. longa), popularly known as turmeric, belongs to the Zingiberaceae family and has a long historical background of having healing properties against many diseases. In Unani and Ayurveda medicine, C. longa has been used for liver obstruction and jaundice, and has been applied externally for ulcers and inflammation. Additionally, it is employed in several other ailments such as cough, cold, dental issues, indigestion, skin infections, blood purification, asthma, piles, bronchitis, tumor, wounds, and hepatic disorders, and is used as an antiseptic. Curcumin, a major constituent of C. longa, is well known for its therapeutic potential in numerous disorders. However, there is a lack of literature on the therapeutic potential of C. longa in contrast to curcumin. Hence, the present review aimed to provide in-depth information by highlighting knowledge gaps in traditional and scientific evidence about C. longa in relation to curcumin. The relationship to one another in terms of biological action includes their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anticancer, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, immunomodulatory, antifertility, antimicrobial, antiallergic, antidermatophytic, and antidepressant properties. Furthermore, in-depth discussion of C. longa on its taxonomic categorization, traditional uses, botanical description, phytochemical ingredients, pharmacology, toxicity, and safety aspects in relation to its major compound curcumin is needed to explore the trends and perspectives for future research. Considering all of the promising evidence to date, there is still a lack of supportive evidence especially from clinical trials on the adjunct use of C. longa and curcumin. This prompts further preclinical and clinical investigations on curcumin.

Abstract
Active packaging that can be used to release active molecules food products during storage has been a central part in food science research over the last decades. This paper presents the development of an active film made from banana starch incorporated with curcumin-loaded orange oil nanoemulsion. Results showed that inclusion of the curcumin-loaded nanoemulsions reduced water vapor permeability, given the hydrophobic nature of curcumin. Likewise, elongation at break was also increased due to the plasticizing effect of the nanoemulsion. Finally, this paper reports the release profiles of curcumin from the active film into different food simulants. Results showed that curcumin release is diffusion driven in both aqueous and non-aqueous food simulants, however it seems that while the complete nanoemulsion droplets are released in the aqueous simulant, in non-aqueous simulant only curcumin molecules are released.

Abstract
Oral microbial dysbiosis is the major causative factor for common oral infectious diseases including dental caries and periodontal diseases. Interventions that can lessen the microbial virulence and reconstitute microbial ecology have drawn increasing attention in the development of novel therapeutics for oral diseases. Antimicrobial small molecules are a series of natural or synthetic bioactive compounds that have shown inhibitory effect on oral microbiota associated with oral infectious diseases. Novel small molecules, which can either selectively inhibit keystone microbes that drive dysbiosis of oral microbiota or inhibit the key virulence of the microbial community without necessarily killing the microbes, are promising for the ecological management of oral diseases. Here we discussed the research progress in the development of antimicrobial small molecules and delivery systems, with a particular focus on their antimicrobial activity against typical species associated with oral infectious diseases and the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Curcumin is the primary polyphenol in turmeric's curcuminoid class. It has a wide range of therapeutic applications, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, antibacterial, and anticancer effects against various cancers, but has poor solubility and low bioavailability. Objective: To improve curcumin's bioavailability, plasma concentration, and cellular permeability processes. The nanocurcumin approach over curcumin has been proven appropriate for encapsulating or loading curcumin (nanocurcumin) to increase its therapeutic potential. Conclusion: Though incorporating curcumin into nanocurcumin form may be a viable method for overcoming its intrinsic limitations, and there are reasonable concerns regarding its toxicological safety once it enters biological pathways. This review article mainly highlights the therapeutic benefits of nanocurcumin over curcumin.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) is a natural substance extracted from turmeric that has antimicrobial properties. Due to its ability to absorb light in the blue spectrum, CUR is also used as a photosensitizer (PS) in antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT). However, CUR is hydrophobic, unstable in solutions, and has low bioavailability, which hinders its clinical use. To circumvent these drawbacks, drug delivery systems (DDSs) have been used. In this review, we summarize the DDSs used to carry CUR and their antimicrobial effect against viruses, bacteria, and fungi, including drug-resistant strains and emergent pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2. The reviewed DDSs include colloidal (micelles, liposomes, nanoemulsions, cyclodextrins, chitosan, and other polymeric nanoparticles), metallic, and mesoporous particles, as well as graphene, quantum dots, and hybrid nanosystems such as films and hydrogels. Free (non-encapsulated) CUR and CUR loaded in DDSs have a broad-spectrum antimicrobial action when used alone or as a PS in aPDT. They also show low cytotoxicity, in vivo biocompatibility, and improved wound healing. Although there are several in vitro and some in vivo investigations describing the nanotechnological aspects and the potential antimicrobial application of CUR-loaded DDSs, clinical trials are not reported and further studies should translate this evidence to the clinical scenarios of infections.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life threatening disease that is caused by a dysregulated host immune response to infection, resulting in tissue damage and organ dysfunction, which account for a high in-hospital mortality (approximately 20%). However, there are still no effective and specific therapeutics for clinical sepsis management. Nanomaterial-based strategies have emerged as promising tools for improving the therapeutic efficacy of sepsis by combating lethal bacterial infection, modulating systemic inflammatory response, preventing multiple organ failure, etc. This review has comprehensively summarized the recent advancements in nanomaterial-based strategies for the management of sepsis and severe complications, in which those nanosystems act either as inherent therapeutics or as nanocarriers for the precise delivery of agents. These formulations mechanically possess antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-oxidative effects, achieving multifunctional synergistic treatment efficacy against sepsis. Furthermore, several cell membrane-derived biomimetic nanoplatforms have been used as decoys to trap and neutralize the pathogenic toxins. The critical role of other adjuvant therapies in sepsis management, including the combination of nanotechnology and stem cell therapy, is also highlighted. Overall, this review provides insights into innovative nanotechnology-based strategies applied in sepsis treatment.

Optimization and antimicrobial efficacy of curcumin loaded solid lipid nanoparticles against foodborne bacteria in hamburger patty. J Food Sci 2021; 86:2242-2254. [PMID: 33931881 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.15732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to design a delivery system of curcumin (CU) loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (CU-CSLNs) for evaluating the antimicrobial properties in hamburger patty. Solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) was prepared through a homogenizing technique. A response surface methodology was applied to optimize the CU-CSLNs to minimize the particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), as well as to maximize the zeta potential to avoid aggregation of particles. The optimized sample revealed a spherical morphology under scanning electron microscope (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) with particle sizes of 126.87 ± 0.94 nm and 0.21 ± 0.025 PDI. The zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency (EE %) were found to be -30 ± 0.3 mV and 99.96 ± 0.01%, respectively. The CSLNs exhibited higher in vitro antimicrobial effect (142 µg·ml-1 ) against Staphylococcus aureus and generic Escherichia coli as compared to free CU (1000 µg·ml-1 ). Finally, the CSLNs antimicrobial effect was tested in hamburger patty inoculated with foodborne pathogens during eight days of storage at 4 °C. The results indicated that CSLNs had a higher antimicrobial effect than free CU. This study provides insight into the preparation of the novel antimicrobial nanoparticles for food safety applications.

Abstract
Nanotechnology and nanoparticles (NPs) are at the forefront of modern research, particularly in the case of healthcare therapeutic applications. Polymeric NPs, specifically, hold high promise for these purposes, including towards oral diseases. Careful optimisation of the production of polymeric NPs, however, is required to generate a product which can be easily translated from a laboratory environment to the actual clinical usage. Indeed, considerations such as biocompatibility, biodistribution, and biodegradability are paramount. Moreover, a pre-clinical assessment in adequate in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo model is also required. Last but not least, considerations for the scale-up are also important, together with an appropriate clinical testing pathway. This review aims to eviscerate the above topics, sourcing at examples from the recent literature to put in context the current most burdening oral diseases and the most promising polymeric NPs which would be suitable against them.

Abstract
Biofilms play an essential role in chronic and healthcare-associated infections and are more resistant to antimicrobials compared to their planktonic counterparts due to their (1) physiological state, (2) cell density, (3) quorum sensing abilities, (4) presence of extracellular matrix, (5) upregulation of drug efflux pumps, (6) point mutation and overexpression of resistance genes, and (7) presence of persister cells. The genes involved and their implications in antimicrobial resistance are well defined for bacterial biofilms but are understudied in fungal biofilms. Potential therapeutics for biofilm mitigation that have been reported include (1) antimicrobial photodynamic therapy, (2) antimicrobial lock therapy, (3) antimicrobial peptides, (4) electrical methods, and (5) antimicrobial coatings. These approaches exhibit promising characteristics for addressing the impending crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Recently, advances in the micro- and nanotechnology field have propelled the development of novel biomaterials and approaches to combat biofilms either independently, in combination or as antimicrobial delivery systems. In this review, we will summarize the general principles of clinically important microbial biofilm formation with a focus on fungal biofilms. We will delve into the details of some novel micro- and nanotechnology approaches that have been developed to combat biofilms and the possibility of utilizing them in a clinical setting.

Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 182:11-25.

Abstract
Despite quercetin (QC) promising features for cancer therapy, low solubility, poor permeability, and short biological half-life time significantly confine its application in cancer therapy. In this study, a novel approach is developed to improve loading efficiency and attain quercetin sustained-release concurrently. In this direction, hydrogel nanocomposite of agarose (AG)-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-hydroxyapatite (HAp) was loaded with QC. Incorporating HAp nanoparticles in the AG-PVP hydrogel improved the loading efficiency up to 61%. Also, the interactions between nanoparticle, drug, and hydrogel polymers rendered the nanocomposite pH-responsive at acidic conditions and controlled the burst release at neutral conditions. Then, QC-loaded hydrogel was encapsulated into the water in oil in water nanoemulsions to further sustain the drug release. As a result, the pH-responsive release of QC with prolonged-release over 96 h was observed. In more detail, according to the Korsmeyer-Peppas mathematical model, the mechanism of release was anomalous (diffusion-controlled) at pH 7.4 and anomalous transport (dissolution-controlled) at pH 5.4. The presence of all nanocomposite components was confirmed with FTIR analysis, and XRD results approved the incorporation of QC in the fabricated nanocomposite. The homogeneous surface of the nanocomposite in FESEM images showed good compatibility between components. The zeta potential analysis confirmed the good stability of the nanocarriers. Besides, the fabricated AG-PVP-HAp-QC platform showed significant cytotoxicity on MCF-7 cells compared to QC as a free drug (p < 0.001) and to quercetin-loaded AG-PVP (AG-PVP-QC) (p < 0.001) with enhanced apoptosis induction after the addition of HAp. Accordingly, this delivery platform ameliorated loading and sustained-release of QC, as well as its anticancer activity by releasing the drug at an effective therapeutic level over a long period to induce apoptosis. Thus, turning this drug delivery system into a potential candidate for further biomedical applications.

Abstract
To overcome the poor aqueous solubility and bioavailability of curcumin, emphasize its functional features, and broaden its applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, many nanoscale systems have been widely applied for its encapsulation and delivery. Over many decades, chitosan as a natural biopolymer has been extensively studied due to its polycationic nature, biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and non-allergenic. Various chitosan-based nanocarriers with unique properties for curcumin delivery, including but not limited to, self-assembled nanoparticles, nanocomposites, nanoemulsions, nanotubes, and nanofibers, have been designed. This review focuses on the most-recently reported fabrication techniques of different types of chitosan-based nanocarriers. The functionalities of chitosan in each formulation which determine the physicochemical properties such as surface charge, morphology, encapsulation driving force, and release profile, were discussed in detail. Moreover, the current pharmaceutical applications of curcumin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles were elaborated. The role of chitosan in facilitating the delivery of curcumin and improving the therapeutic effects on many chronic diseases, including cancer, bacterial infection, wound healing, Alzheimer's diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and hepatitis C virus, were illustrated. Particularly, the recently discovered mechanisms of action of curcumin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles against the abovementioned diseases were highlighted.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of the supporting structures of teeth caused by development of dental plaques and accumulation of microorganism around the gingival tissue. Curcumin has been shown to improve clinical parameters in periodontal diseases. However, the efficacy of curcumin in the elimination of periodontal pathogens is not clearly defined. The purpose of this study was to carry out a systematic review of the antibacterial activity of curcumin against periodontal pathogens. An electronic literature search in Medline, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Google scholar was performed up to February 29, 2020, to identify studies assessing the antibacterial activity of curcumin against periodontal pathogens. From 1238 publications, three clinical trials and five in vitro studies met the eligibility criteria. All three clinical studies reported improvement in restoring gingival health in clinical and microbiological parameters, following adjunctive use of curcumin for treatment of periodontitis. All five in vitro studies showed that curcumin could inhibit the growth of bacterial strains. Three of the five in vitro studies evaluated the effect of curcumin on mixed biofilm of periopathogens, which showed a significant inhibitory effect of curcumin on periodontal biofilms. This systematic review found that curcumin has antibacterial activity against periopathogens. The anti-biofilm activity of curcumin is reported as one of the mechanisms for this phenomenon. Curcumin could improve the clinical parameters of periodontal tissue not only by inhibition of the pathogens but also by modulating the host response.

Abstract
This study targets to develop curcumin-loaded polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanocrystals (PVA/CNCs) membrane as localized delivery system for breast/liver cancer. A novel strategy was developed for enhancing encapsulation capacity and maximizing therapeutic efficiency of curcumin-loaded PVA/CNCs membranes. Membranes were prepared by solution-casting method using citric acid as crosslinker. SEM revealed that PVA/CNCs ratio (80:20) was chosen as the optimum for loading curcumin. FT-IR indicated that, curcumin was incorporated into PVA/CNCs in amorphous-phase via intermolecular hydrogen bond between curcumin and membrane components. Curcumin showed biphasic-release through burst-release of 41% of curcumin during the first hour, followed by sustained-release of 70% and 94% during 24 h and 48 h, respectively. In vitro cytotoxicity of PVA/CNCs/Curcumin membrane exhibited a selective inhibition proliferation of breast and liver cancer cells in a concentration-dependent without any toxic effect on normal cells. At high concentration (8 mg/ml) of PVA/CNCs/Curcumin, reduced viability to 35% and 7% of MCF-7 and Huh-7 cells, respectively; meanwhile high HFB-4 normal cell viability ≥80% was investigated. Antimicrobial activity of PVA/CNCs/Curcumin was investigated by multi-drug-resistant strains, and MIC values. PVA/CNCs/Curcumin membranes with concentration (40 mg/ml) showed broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities, thus inhibited ~96-99% of microbial growth. PVA/CNCs/Curcumin membranes could be as promised anti-infective biomaterials for breast and liver cancer wound healing.

Abstract
Interest in novel delivery systems that improve the cytoprotective and antioxidant effects of natural drugs has been explored recently due to the increase in the incidence of chronic diseases in which oxidation mechanisms are involved. Curcumin is a phenolic compound recently shown to be clinically significant due to its anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant properties. However, this molecule possesses a low bioavailability and a high degradation rate in the presence of light. Therefore, we prepared nanoparticles of poly-ε-caprolactone and Pluronic® F-68 as a stabilizer and loaded these with curcumin (Cur–PCL nanoparticles) for antioxidant and cytoprotective applications. The nanoparticles did not induce cell death, but they did reduce cell proliferation without affecting cell migration and cell adhesion. Interestingly, Cur–PCL and poly-ε-caprolactone nanoparticles reduced the oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide and presented a cytoprotective effect. Remarkably, poly-ε-caprolactone nanoparticles showed a decrement of 30% in reactive oxygen species presence compared to the positive control. The decrease of reactive oxygen species derived from the administration of poly-ε-caprolactone nanoparticles could be attributed to the presence of Pluronic® F-68. Taken together, these data indicated that these nanoparticles might have a clinical application in disorders related to reactive oxygen species formation.

Abstract
Introduction: Curcumin is an important bioactive compound present in Curcuma longa, and is well known for its bioactivities such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, antiparasitic and antioxidant activity. The use of curcumin is limited owing to its poor solubility in water, fast degradation, and low bioavailability. This problem can be solved by using nano-curcumin, which is soluble in water and enhances its activity against various microbial pathogens and parasites.Areas covered: We have reviewed curcumin, curcumin-loaded nanoparticles and their activities against various pathogenic microbes (antifungal, antiviral and antiprotozoal) and parasites, as curcumin has already demonstrated broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. It has also inhibited biofilm formation by various bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antimicrobial activity of curcumin can be increased in the presence of light radiation due to its photo-excitation. Further, it has been found that the activity of curcumin nanoparticles is enhanced when used in combination with antibiotics. Finally, we discussed the toxicity and safety issues of curcumin.Expert opinion: Since many microbial pathogens have developed resistance to antibiotics, the combination of curcumin with different nanoparticles will prove to be a boon for their treatment. Moreover, curcumin and curcumin-loaded nanoparticles can also be used against various parasites.

Abstract
Antibacterial dressing can prevent the occurrence of many infections of wounds. Bacterial cellulose (BC) has the ability to carry and transfer the medicine to achieve a wound healing bandage. In this study, Carbon Quantum Dots-Titanium dioxide (CQD-TiO2) nanoparticles (NP) were added to BC as antibacterial agents. FTIR Spectroscopy illuminated that NPs were well-bonded to BC. Interestingly, MIC test proved that BC/CQD-TiO2 nanostructure (NS) has anti-bacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus. The findings indicated that, CQD-TiO2 NPs have stronger antibacterial properties with better tensile strength compared to CQD NPs, in a concentration-dependent manner. Toxicity of CQD-TiO2 NPs on human L929 fibroblast cells was also evaluated. Most importantly, the results of the scratch test indicated that the NS was effective in wound healing in L929 cells. The approach in this study may provide an alternative to make an antibacterial wound dressing to achieve an effective drug-based bandage.

Abstract
Nowadays, fossil fuel is the most important source of energy. However, the sulfur oxide release through oxidation of the available sulfur and the resultant air pollution has turned into an issue. In biodesulfurization (BDS) process, the sulfur from the recalcitrant organic compounds dissolved in crude oil fractions will be removed biologically. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit good catalytic performance in dibenzothiophene (DBT) oxidation. Molecular dynamic simulation is the best and the only way to reach this end. Through this study, molecular dynamic simulations are applied to compute the effects of starch/CNTs on BDS process of DBT during 5 ns. The changes of cell length, energy, dynamic temperature, relative concentration of DBT, and radial distribution function (RDF) in the absence and presence of starch/CNTs were investigated. Regarding to the energy diagram, the fluctuation because of temperature fluctuations reaches the stable state. The high level of the first peak in RDF diagram showed the high and long desulfurization by microorganism. All the results showed stable and reasonable equilibrium state of the system. According to the graphs, the simultaneous in the presence of starch/CNT and Rhodococcus erythropolis increase the removal efficiency of nitrate reached 85% and in the absence of nanoparticle was 35.44%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Starch nanoparticles have become among the most interesting nanovehicles for drug delivery because of their relatively easy synthesis, biocompatibility, and numerous botanical sources. Starch nanoparticles obtained from green bananas were cross-linked with citric acid and loaded with β-carotene. RESULTS Mean particle size, encapsulation efficiency, and β-carotene release in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids and food simulants were studied. Cross-linked nanoparticles showed higher loading efficiency and encapsulation capacity, indicating that they can accommodate more molecules than their unmodified counterparts, while mathematical models showed a diffusion of released β-carotene into food simulant media. CONCLUSIONS Cross-linked nanoparticles showed more controlled release under gastric conditions, mainly in the simulated intestinal fluid, indicating that they are suitable as vehicles for intestine-specific targeting. This controlled released was also observed in food simulants, with lower release values in the more aqueous simulants. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
