Abstract
The global issue of pollution caused by the misuse and indiscriminate application of pesticides has reached critical levels. In this vein, encapsulating pesticides with carriers offers a promising approach that impacts key parameters such as pesticide release kinetics, stability, and biocompatibility, enhancing the safe and effective delivery of agrochemicals. Encapsulated pesticides hold the potential to reduce off-target effects, decrease environmental contamination, and improve overall crop protection. This review highlights the potential benefits and challenges associated with the use of both organic and in-organic carriers in pesticide encapsulation, and the current state of research in this field. Overall, the encapsulation of pesticides with carriers presents a promising approach for the safe and effective delivery of these vital agricultural compounds. By harnessing the advantages of encapsulation, this technique offers a potential solution to mitigate the adverse effects of conventional pesticides and contribute towards sustainable and environmentally conscious farming practices. Further research and development in this field is necessary to optimize the encapsulation process, carrier properties and advance towards sustainable and environmentally friendly pesticide delivery systems.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering have emerged as a multidisciplinary promising field in the quest to address the limitations of traditional medical approaches. One of the key aspects of these fields is the development of such types of biomaterials that can mimic the extracellular matrix and provide a conducive environment for tissue regeneration. In this regard, chitosan has played a vital role which is a naturally derived linear bi-poly-aminosaccharide, and has gained significant attention due to its biocompatibility and unique properties. Chitosan possesses many unique physicochemical properties, making it a significant polysaccharide for different applications such as agriculture, nutraceutical, biomedical, food, nutraceutical, packaging, etc. as well as significant material for developing next-generation hydrogel and bio-scaffolds for regenerative medicinal applications. Moreover, chitosan can be easily modified to incorporate desirable properties, such as improved mechanical strength, enhanced biodegradability, and controlled release of bioactive molecules. Blending chitosan with other polymers or incorporating nanoparticles into its matrix further expands its potential in tissue engineering applications. This review summarizes the most recent studies of the last 10 years based on chitosan, blends, and nanocomposites and their application in bone tissue engineering, hard tissue engineering, dental implants, dental tissue engineering, dental fillers, and cartilage tissue engineering.

N-lauric-O-carboxymethyl chitosan: Synthesis, characterization and application as a pH-responsive carrier for curcumin particles. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128421. [PMID: 38013085 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
A pH-responsive amphiphilic chitosan derivative, N-lauric-O-carboxymethyl chitosan (LA-CMCh), is synthesized. Its molecular structures are characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, and XRD methods. The influencing factors are investigated, including the amount of lauric acid (LA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh), N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), and their molar ratio, reaction time, and reaction temperature on the substitution. The degrees of substitution (DS) of the lauric groups on the -NH2 groups are calculated based on the integrated data of 1H NMR spectra. The optimum reaction condition is obtained as a reaction time of 6 h, a reaction temperature of 80 °C, and a molar ratio of lauric acid to O-carboxymethyl chitosan to N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride to N-hydroxysuccinimide of 1:3:4.5:4.5, respectively. The crystallinity and initial decomposition temperature of LA-CMCh decrease, but the maximum decomposition temperature increases. The crystallinity is reduced due to the introduction of LA and the degree of hydrogen bonding among LA-CMCh molecules. LA-CMCh could self-aggregate into particles, which size and critical aggregation concentration depend on the degree of substitution and medium pH. LA-CMCh aggregates could load curcumin up to 21.70 %, and continuously release curcumin for >200 min. LA-CMCh shows nontoxicity to fibroblast HFF-1 cells and good antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli, indicating that it could be used as an oil-soluble-drug carrier.

Abstract
Biocompatible and biodegradable amphiphilic polymeric micelles (PLA-CMCS-g-OA) were prepared by surface grafting of oleic acid and polylactic acid onto carboxymethyl chitosan and were used as templates for the crystallization of camptothecin. The camptothecin (CPT) nanocrystals prepared by the novel micelle-templated antisolvent crystallization (mt-ASC) method demonstrated higher crystallinity, narrower particle size distribution, and slower release characteristic than those prepared by conventional antisolvent crystallization (c-ASC) using a high initial concentration and fast addition rate. In particular, the CPT release behavior of mt-ASC products in phosphate buffer solutions presented a pH-responsive characteristic with the increasing release rate of CPT under lower pH conditions. This work confirmed that amphiphilic nanomicelle-templated crystallization was an effective method for preparing drug nanocrystals.

Larvae and Dissipation Behavior in Soil. ACS OMEGA 2021; 6:30762-30768.

Abstract
Controlled-release pesticide formulations using natural polymers as carriers are highly desirable owing to their good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and improved pesticide utilization. In this study, the application potential of our previously prepared spinosad/chitosan controlled-release suspension (SCCS) was evaluated through both toxicity and dissipation tests. A comparison with the spinosad suspension concentrate and the commercial spinosad emulsion in water showed that the insecticidal activity of SCCS against Plutella xylostella larvae displayed the best quick-acting performance as well as long-term efficacy of more than 20 days. The 48 h LC50 for a 20-day efficacy was calculated to be 29.36 mg/L. The dissipation behavior of spinosad in the spinosad/chitosan microparticles in soil was found to follow the first-order kinetics, with a relatively shorter half-life (2.1 days) than that observed for the unformulated spinosad (3.1 days). This work showed the positive effect of chitosan on spinosad in improving insecticidal activity and reducing environmental risks in soil, which provided useful information on the application potential of pesticide-carrier systems based on natural polymer materials in crop protection and food safety.
