ISOTHERMAL TITRATION CALORIMETRY (ITC) AS A PROMISING TOOL IN PHARMACEUTICAL NANOTECHNOLOGY. Int J Pharm 2023; 641:123063. [PMID: 37209790 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a technique for evaluating the thermodynamic profiles of connection between two molecules, allowing the experimental design of nanoparticles systems with drugs and/or biological molecules. Taking into account the relevance of ITC, we conducted, therefore, an integrative revision of the literature, from 2000 to 2023, on the main purposes of using this technique in pharmaceutical nanotechnology. The search were carried out in the Pubmed, Sciencedirect, Web of Science, and Scifinder databases using the descriptors "Nanoparticles", "Isothermal Titration Calorimetry", and "ITC". We have observed that the ITC technique has been increasingly used in pharmaceutical nanotechnology, seeking to understand the interaction mechanisms in the formation of nanoparticles. Additionally, to understand the behavior of nanoparticles with biological materials (proteins, DNA, cell membranes, among others), thereby helping to understand the behavior of nanocarriers in vivo studies. As a contribution, we intended to reveal the importance of ITC in the laboratory routine, which is itself a quick and easy technique to obtain relevant results that help to optimize the nanosystems formulation process.

Abstract
Characterization of dynamic processes occurring at the nanoparticle (NP) surface is crucial for developing new and more efficient NP catalysts and materials. Thus, a vast amount of research has been dedicated to developing techniques to characterize sorption equilibria. Over recent years, solution NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a preferred tool for investigating ligand-NP interactions. Indeed, due to its ability to probe exchange dynamics over a wide range of timescales with atomic resolution, solution NMR can provide structural, kinetic, and thermodynamic information on sorption equilibria involving multiple adsorbed species and intermediate states. In this contribution, we review solution NMR methods for characterizing ligand-NP interactions, and provide examples of practical applications using these methods as standalone techniques. In addition, we illustrate how the integrated analysis of several NMR datasets was employed to elucidate the role played by support-substrate interactions in mediating the phenol hydrogenation reaction catalyzed by ceria-supported Pd nanoparticles.

Abstract
Globally, a rising burden of complex diseases takes a heavy toll on human lives and poses substantial clinical and economic challenges. This review covers nanomedicine and nanotechnology-enabled advanced drug delivery systems (DDS) designed to address various unmet medical needs. Key nanomedicine and DDSs, currently employed in the clinic to tackle some of these diseases, are discussed focusing on their versatility in diagnostics, anticancer therapy, and diabetes management. First-hand experiences from our own laboratory and the work of others are presented to provide insights into strategies to design and optimize nanomedicine- and nanotechnology-enabled DDS for enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Computational analysis is also briefly reviewed as a technology for rational design of controlled release DDS. Further explorations of DDS have illuminated the interplay of physiological barriers and their impact on DDS. It is demonstrated how such delivery systems can overcome these barriers for enhanced therapeutic efficacy and how new perspectives of next-generation DDS can be applied clinically.

Abstract
The binding of aminoxyls to polymers extends their potential use as antioxidants and EPR-reporting groups and opens up new horizons for tailoring new smart materials. In this work, we synthesized and characterized non-sulfated and N-sulfated water-soluble amphiphilic chitosans with a critical micelle concentration of 0.02-0.05 mg/mL that contain 13-18% of aminoglycosides bound with various aminoxyls. Chitosan-polyaminoxyls (CPAs) formed micelles with hydrodynamic radii Rh of ca. 100 nm. The EPR spectra of CPAs were found to depend on the rigidity of the aminoxyl-polymer bond and structural changes caused by sulfation. CPAs demonstrated antioxidant capacity/activity in three tests against reactive oxygen species (ROS) of various nature. The charge of micelles and structure of aminoxyls significantly affected their antioxidant properties. CPAs were low toxic against tumor (HepG2, HeLa, A-172) and non-cancerous (Vero) cells (IC50 > 0.8 mM of aminoglycosides). Sulfated CPAs showed better water solubility and the ability of binding and retaining the anti-tumor antibiotic daunorubicin (DAU). DAU-loaded micelles of CPAs (CPAs-DAU) demonstrated a 1.5-4-fold potentiation of DAU cytotoxicity against several cell lines. CPAs-DAU micelles were found to affect the cell cycle in a manner markedly different from that of free DAU. Our results demonstrated the ability of CPAs to act as bioactive drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Successful delivery of anticancer drugs to intracellular targets requires different properties of the nanocarrier to overcome multiple transport barriers. However, few nanocarrier systems, to date, possess such properties, despite knowledge about the biological fate of inorganic and polymeric nanocarriers in relation to their fixed size, shape and surface properties. Herein, a polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticle (PLN) system is described with size and shape transformability and its mechanisms of cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking are studied. METHODS Pharmaceutical lipids were screened for use in transformable PLN. Mechanisms of cellular uptake and the role of fatty acid-binding proteins in intracellular trafficking of PLN were investigated in breast cancer cells. Intra-tumoral penetration and retention of doxorubicin (DOX) were evaluated by confocal microscopy. RESULTS The lead PLNs showed time-dependent size reduction and shape change from spherical to spiky shape. This transformability of PLNs and lipid trafficking pathways facilitated intracellular transport of DOX-loaded PLN (DOX-PLN) into mitochondria and nuclei. DOX-PLN significantly increased DOX penetration and retention over free DOX or non-transformable liposomal DOX particles at 4 h post-intravenous administration. CONCLUSION Transformability of PLN and lipid-biology interplay can be exploited to design new nanocarriers for effective drug delivery to tumor cells and intracellular targets.

Abstract
The interactions of exenatide, a Trp-containing peptide used as a drug to treat diabetes, with liposomes were studied by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), tryptophan (Trp) fluorescence, and microscale thermophoresis measurements. The results are not only important for better understanding the release of this specific drug from vesicular phospholipid gel formulations but describe a general scenario as described before for various systems. This study introduces a model to fit these data on the basis of primary and secondary peptide-lipid interactions. Finally, resolving apparent inconsistencies between different methods aids the design and critical interpretation of binding experiments in general. Our results show that the net cationic exenatide adsorbs electrostatically to liposomes containing anionic diacyl phosphatidylglycerol lipids (PG); however, the ITC data could not properly be fitted by any established model. The combination of electrostatic adsorption of exenatide to the membrane surface and its self-association (Kd = 46 μM) suggested the possibility of secondary binding of peptide to the first, primarily (i.e., lipid-) bound peptide layer. A global fit of the ITC data validated this model and suggested one peptide to bind primarily per five PG molecules with a Kd ≈ 0.2 μM for PC/PG 1:1 and 0.6 μM for PC/PG 7:3 liposomes. Secondary binding shows a weaker affinity and a less exothermic or even endothermic enthalpy change. Depending on the concentration of liposomes, secondary binding may also lead to liposomal aggregation as detected by dynamic light-scattering measurements. ITC quantifies primary and secondary binding separately, whereas microscale thermophoresis and Trp fluorescence represent a summary or average of both effects, possibly with the fluorescence data showing somewhat greater weighting of primary binding. Systems with secondary peptide-peptide association within the membrane are mathematically analogous to the adsorption discussed here.

Abstract
Intracellular activation of nanomaterials within cancer cells presents a powerful means to enhance anticancer specificity and efficacy. In light of upregulated lysosomal protease cathepsin-B (CathB) in many types of invasive cancer cells, herein, we exploit CathB-catalyzed biodegradation of acetylated rapeseed protein isolate (ARPI) to design polymer-drug nanocomplexes that can produce proapoptotic peptides in situ and synergize chemotherapy. ARPI forms nanocomplexes with chitosan (CS) and anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) [DOX-ARPI/CS nanoparticles (NPs)] by ionic self-assembly. The dual acidic pH- and CathB-responsive properties of the nanocomplexes and CathB-catalyzed biodegradation of ARPI enable efficient lysosomal escape and nuclei trafficking of released DOX, resulting in elevated cytotoxicity in CathB-overexpressing breast cancer cells. The ARPI-derived bioactive peptides exhibit synergistic anticancer effect with DOX by regulating pro- and antiapoptotic-relevant proteins ( p53, Bax, Bcl-2, pro-caspase-3) at mitochondria. In an orthotopic breast tumor model of CathB-overexpressing breast cancer, DOX-ARPI/CS NPs remarkably inhibit tumor growth, enhance tumor cell apoptosis and prolong host survival without eliciting any systemic toxicity. These results suggest that exploitation of multifunctional biomaterials to specifically produce anticancer agents inside cancer cells and trigger drug release to the subcellular target sites is a promising strategy for designing effective synergistic nanomedicines with minimal off-target toxicity.

Abstract
The binding of doxorubicin (DOX) to cross-linked Pluronic F127-g-PAA-EGDMA and L92-g-PAA-EGDMA microgels at different alpha (α) and salt concentrations was investigated using isothermal titration calorimetric (ITC), optical and scanning electron microscopic techniques (SEM). We seek to elucidate the mechanisms of interaction and the release of DOX from cross-linked microgels composed of Pluronic and poly(acrylic acid). The ITC results indicated a high binding affinity of DOX to the microgel, which is a function of salt concentrations due to the impact of electrostatic shielding on the DOX-binding process. Applying the polyelectrolyte theory allows the decoupling of the Gibbs free energy of binding that describes the role of non-electrostatic interaction of DOX and the microgel. The presence of DOX within the microgel resulted in the collapse of the microgel due to charge shielding, π-π interactions and self-association of polymer-bound DOX molecules. The diffusion of DOX through the microgel is controlled by the dissociation of COO-/DOX+ coupling pairs.
