RSC Adv 2024; 14:3070-3084. [PMID: 38239437 PMCID: PMC10795518 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08074a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
A dual stimuli-responsive nanocarrier was developed from smart biocompatible chitosan and soluplus graft copolymers. The copolymerization was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The optimized chitosan-soluplus nanoparticles (CS-SP NPs) were further used for the encapsulation of a poorly water-soluble anticancer drug. Tamoxifen citrate (TC) was used as the model drug and it was loaded in CS-SP NPs. TC CS-SP NPs were characterized in terms of particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity, morphology, encapsulation efficiency, and physical stability. The nanoparticles showed homogenous spherical features with a size around 94 nm, a slightly positive zeta potential, and an encapsulation efficiency around 96.66%. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), in vitro drug release, and cytotoxicity confirmed that the created nano-system is smart and exhibits pH and temperature-responsive behavior. In vitro cellular uptake was evaluated by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. The nanoparticles revealed a triggered increase in size upon reaching the lower critical solution temperature of SP, with 70% of drug release at acidic pH and 40 °C within the first hour and a 3.5-fold increase in cytotoxicity against MCF7 cells incubated at 40 °C. The cellular uptake study manifested that the prepared nanoparticles succeeded in delivering drug molecules to MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. In summary, the distinctive characteristics provided by these novel CS-SP NPs result in a promising nano-platform for effective drug delivery in cancer treatment.

Baroudi A, García-Payo C, Khayet M. Chitosan-Based Composite Membranes with Different Biocompatible Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Physicochemical Properties and Drug-Release Study. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:2804. [PMID: 37447450 DOI: 10.3390/polym15132804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitosan (CS) composite membranes were prepared using different biocompatible metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs): titanium dioxide (TiO2); iron oxide (Fe3O4); and aluminum oxide (Al2O3). For each nanoparticle, the CS-based composite membranes were prepared with two NPs contents in the CS solution, high (H) and low (L) NPs concentrations. To establish both concentrations, the NPs saturation point in the CS polymeric matrix was determined. The influence of NP concentrations on the physicochemical properties of the CS films was assessed. The prepared CS membranes were characterized with different techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and zeta potential. It was found that the addition of NPs in the CS matrix improved both swelling and mechanical properties. Nanocomposite CS membranes could be prepared using Al2O3 NPs. Swelling experiments revealed different pH-sensitive mechanisms, which might be beneficial in biomedical applications since solute permeation through CS-based composite membranes could be controlled by adjusting environmental conditions. When aspirin transport (ASA) through the prepared membranes was carried out in different release media, SGF (simulating gastric fluid) and SIF (simulating intestinal fluid without enzymes), it was observed that the Fickian diffusion coefficient (D) was conditioned by the pH of the release solution. In SGIT (simulating gastrointestinal transit) medium, a transition time (ttrans) was detected due to the shrinkage of the CS polymeric chains, and the drug release depended not only on the Fickian's diffusion but also on the shrinkage of the biopolymer, obeying Peppas and Sahlin equation.

Abstract
Biopolymers have become very attractive as they are degradable, biocompatible, non-toxic and renewable. Due to the intrinsic reactive amino groups, chitosan is vibrant in the midst of other biopolymers. Using the versatility of these amino groups, various structural modifications have been accomplished on chitosan through certain chemical reactions. Chemical modification of chitosan via imine functionalization (RR'CNR″; R: alkyl/aryl, R': H/alkyl/aryl and R″: chitosan ring) is significant as it recommends the resultant chitosan-based Schiff bases (CSBs) for the important applications in the fields like biology, catalysis, sensors, water treatment, etc. CSBs are usually synthesized by the Schiff condensation reaction between chitosan's amino groups and carbonyl compounds with the removal of water molecules. In this review, we first introduce the available synthetic approaches for the preparation of CSBs. Then, we discuss the biological applications of CSBs including antimicrobial activity, anticancer activity, drug carrier ability, antioxidant activity and tissue engineering capacity. Successively, the applications of CSBs in other fields such as catalysis, adsorption and sensors are demonstrated.

Abstract
Chitosan powder irradiated by electron beam at different doses, up to 250 kGy, was used to prepare membranes for drug release applications. The irradiation effect on the molecular weight of powder chitosan, the characteristics of the prepared membranes, and their transport of sulfamerazine sodium salt (SULF) were investigated. The effect of the addition of glutaraldehyde (GLA) as a crosslinking agent in the chitosan solution used for the preparation of the membranes was also studied. A decrease in the chitosan molecular weight with the increase in the irradiation dose was observed, while the membranes prepared with the irradiated chitosan at higher dose exhibited lower swelling. However, an opposite behavior was detected when the membranes were prepared with GLA-crosslinked chitosan. A GLA crosslinking agent reduced the crystallinity of the chitosan membranes and the swelling, whereas the water contact angle and SULF transport increased with the increase in the irradiation dose.

Abstract
Chitosan (a biopolymer) anchored Cu(II) and Ni(II) Schiff base complexes, [M(OIAC)Cl2] (M: Cu/Ni and OIAC: ([2-oxo-1H-indol-3-ylidene]amino)chitosan) were electron beam irradiated by different doses (100 Gy, 1 kGy and 10 kGy). The electron beam has shown potential impact on biopolymer's support, in detail chain linking and chain scissoring, as evidenced by viscosity studies, FT-IR and X-ray diffraction spectroscopic techniques. Due to these structural changes, thermal properties of the complexes were found to be changed. The surface of these heterogeneous complexes was also effectually altered by electron beam. As a consequence, pores and holes were created as probed by SEM technique. The catalytic activity of both non-irradiated and irradiated complexes was investigated in the aerobic oxidation of cyclohexane using hydrogen peroxide oxidant. The catalytic ability of the complexes was enhanced significantly after irradiation as the result of surface changes. The reusability of the complexes was also greatly affected because of the structural variations in polymeric support. In terms of both better catalytic activity along with the reusability, 1 kGy is suggested as the best dose to attain adequate increase in catalytic activity and good reusability.
