Abstract
Nanotechnology carriers have become common in pharmaceutical products because of their benefits to drug delivery, including reduced toxicities and improved efficacy of active pharmaceutical ingredients due to targeted delivery, prolonged circulation time, and controlled payload release. While available examples of reduced drug toxicity through formulation using a nanocarrier are encouraging, current data also demonstrate that nanoparticles may change a drug’s biodistribution and alter its toxicity profile. Moreover, individual components of nanoparticles and excipients commonly used in formulations are often not immunologically inert and contribute to the overall immune responses to nanotechnology-formulated products. Said immune responses may be beneficial or adverse depending on the indication, dose, dose regimen, and route of administration. Therefore, comprehensive toxicology studies are of paramount importance even when previously known drugs, components, and excipients are used in nanoformulations. Recent data also suggest that, despite decades of research directed at hiding nanocarriers from the immune recognition, the immune system’s inherent property of clearing particulate materials can be leveraged to improve the therapeutic efficacy of drugs formulated using nanoparticles. Herein, I review current knowledge about nanoparticles’ interaction with the immune system and how these interactions contribute to nanotechnology-formulated drug products’ safety and efficacy through the lens of over a decade of nanoparticle characterization at the Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory.

Abstract
Aging-induced alternations of vasculature structures, phenotypes, and functions are key in the occurrence and development of vascular aging-related diseases. Multiple molecular and cellular events, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, cellular senescence, and epigenetic alterations are highly associated with vascular aging physiopathology. Advances in nanoparticles and nanotechnology, which can realize sensitive diagnostic modalities, efficient medical treatment, and better prognosis as well as less adverse effects on non-target tissues, provide an amazing window in the field of vascular aging and related diseases. Throughout this review, we presented current knowledge on classification of nanoparticles and the relationship between vascular aging and related diseases. Importantly, we comprehensively summarized the potential of nanoparticles-based diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in vascular aging and related diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, as well as chronic kidney diseases, and discussed the advantages and limitations of their clinical applications.

Abstract
Biodistribution of nanoencapsulated bioactive compounds is primarily determined by the size, shape, chemical composition and surface properties of the encapsulating nanoparticle, and, thus, less dependent on the physicochemical properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredient encapsulated. In the current work, we aimed to investigate the impact of formulation type on biodistribution profile for two clinically relevant nanoformulations. We performed a comparative study of biodistribution in healthy rats at several dose levels and durations up to 14-day post-injection. The studied nanoformulations were nanostructured lipid carriers incorporating the fluorescent dye IR780-oleyl, and polymeric nanoparticles containing the anticancer agent cabazitaxel. The biodistribution was approximated by quantification of the cargo in blood and relevant organs. Several clear and systematic differences in biodistribution were observed, with the most pronounced being a much higher (more than 50-fold) measured concentration ratio between cabazitaxel in all organs vs. blood, as compared to IR780-oleyl. Normalized dose linearity largely showed opposite trends between the two compounds after injection. Cabazitaxel showed a higher brain accumulation than IR780-oleyl with increasing dose injected. Interestingly, cabazitaxel showed a notable and prolonged accumulation in lung tissue compared to other organs. The latter observations could warrant further studies towards a possible therapeutic indication within lung and conceivably brain cancer for nanoformulations of this highly antineoplastic compound, for which off-target toxicity is currently dose-limiting in the clinic.

Development, formulation, and cellular mechanism of a lipophilic copper chelator for the treatment of Wilson's disease. Int J Pharm 2021; 609:121193. [PMID: 34673167 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2021.121193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2021] [Revised: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Copper homeostasis is finely regulated in human to avoid any detrimental impact of free intracellular copper ions. Upon copper accumulation, biliary excretion is triggered in liver thanks to trafficking of the ATP7B copper transporter to bile canaliculi. However, in Wilson's disease this protein is mutated leading to copper accumulation. Current therapy uses Cu chelators acting extracellularly and requiring a life-long treatment with side effects. Herein, a new Cu(I) pro-chelator was encapsulated in long-term stable nanostructured lipid carriers. Cellular assays revealed that the pro-chelator protects hepatocytes against Cu-induced cell death. Besides, the cellular stresses induced by moderate copper concentrations, including protein unfolding, are counteracted by the pro-chelator. These data showed the pro-chelator efficiency to deliver intracellularly an active chelator that copes with copper stress and surpasses current and under development chelators. Although its biological activity is more mitigated, the pro-chelator nanolipid formulation led to promising results. This innovative approach is of outmost importance in the quest of better treatments for Wilson's disease.

Abstract
Liver is the main organ for metabolism but is also subject to various pathologies, from viral, genetic, cancer or metabolic origin. There is thus a crucial need to develop efficient liver-targeted drug delivery strategies. Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is a C-type lectin expressed in the hepatocyte plasma membrane that efficiently endocytoses glycoproteins exposing galactose (Gal) or N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc). Its targeting has been successfully used to drive the uptake of small molecules decorated with three or four GalNAc, thanks to an optimisation of their spatial arrangement. Herein, we assessed the biological properties of highly stable nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) made of FDA-approved ingredients and formulated with increasing amounts of GalNAc. Cellular studies showed that a high density of GalNAc was required to favour hepatocyte internalisation via the ASGPR pathway. Interaction studies using surface plasmon resonance and the macrophage galactose-lectin as GalNAc-recognising lectin confirmed the need of high GalNAc density for specific recognition of these NLC. This work is the first step for the development of efficient nanocarriers for prolonged liver delivery of active compounds.
