Abstract
Two series of pyrene-labeled poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)s referred to as PyEG5-PEGnMA and PyC4-PEGnMA were prepared to probe the region surrounding the polymethacrylate backbone by using the fluorescence of the dye pyrene. PyEG5-PEGnMA and PyC4-PEGnMA were prepared by copolymerizing the EGnMA methacrylate monomers with penta(ethylene glycol) 1-pyrenemethyl ether methacrylate or 1-pyrenebutyl methacrylate, respectively. In organic solvents, the much longer 18 non-hydrogen atom linker connecting the pyrene moieties to the polymethacrylate backbone in the PyEG5-PEGnMA samples enabled the deployment of the pyrenyl labels into the solution. In water, however, an excited pyrene for PyEG5-PEGnMA was found to probe a same volume as for the PyC4-PEGnMA samples where a much shorter 6 non-hydrogen atom spacer connected pyrene to the backbone. Another surprising observation, considering that the hydrophobicity of pyrene induces strong pyrene aggregation for many pyrene-labeled water-soluble polymers (Py-WSPs) in water, was the little pyrene aggregation found for the PyEG5-PEGnMA and PyC4-PEGnMA samples in water. These effects could be related to the organic-like domain (OLD) generated by the oligo(ethylene glycol) side chains densely arranged around the polymethacrylate backbone of the polymeric bottlebrush (PBB). Additional fluorescence experiments conducted with the penta(ethylene glycol) 1-pyrenemethyl ether derivative indicated that the cylindrical OLD surrounding the polymethacrylate backbone had a chemical composition similar to that of ethylene glycol. Binding of hydrophobic pyrene molecules to unlabeled PEGnMA bottlebrushes in water further supported the existence of the OLD. The demonstration, that PEGnMA samples form an OLD in water, which can host and protect hydrophobic cargoes like pyrene, should lead to the development of improved PEGnMA-based drug delivery systems.

Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1088. [PMID: 37760190 PMCID: PMC10525255 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10091088] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Injectable hydrogels offer numerous advantages in various areas, which include tissue engineering and drug delivery because of their unique properties such as tunability, excellent carrier properties, and biocompatibility. These hydrogels can be administered with minimal invasiveness. In this study, we synthesized an injectable hydrogel by rehydrating lyophilized mixtures of guar adamantane (Guar-ADI) and poly-β-cyclodextrin (p-βCD) in a solution of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) maintained at pH 7.4. The hydrogel was formed via host-guest interaction between modified guar (Guar-ADI), obtained by reacting guar gum with 1-adamantyl isocyanate (ADI) and p-βCD. Comprehensive characterization of all synthesized materials, including the hydrogel, was performed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and rheology. The in vitro drug release study demonstrated the hydrogel's efficacy in controlled drug delivery, exemplified by the release of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and anastrozole, both of which followed first-order kinetics. Furthermore, the hydrogel displayed excellent biocompatibility and served as an ideal scaffold for promoting the growth of mouse osteoblastic MC3T3 cells as evidenced by the in vitro biocompatibility study.

Abstract
The characteristics of dairy products, such as texture, color, flavor, and nutritional profile, are significantly influenced by the presence of milk fat. However, saturated fatty acids account for 65% of total milk fat. With increased health awareness and regulatory recommendations, consumer preferences have evolved toward low/no saturated fat food products. Reducing the saturated fat content of dairy products to meet market demands is an urgent yet challenging task, as it may compromise product quality and increase production costs. In this regard, oleogels have emerged as a viable milk fat replacement in dairy foods. This review focuses on recent advances in oleogel systems and explores their potential for incorporation into dairy products as a milk fat substitute. Overall, it can be concluded that oleogel can be a potential alternative to replace milk fat fully or partially in the product matrix to improve nutritional profile by mimicking similar rheological and textural product characteristics as milk fat. Furthermore, the impact of consuming oleogel-based dairy foods on digestibility and gut health is also discussed. A thorough comprehension of the application of oleogels in dairy products will provide an opportunity for the dairy sector to develop applications that will appeal to the changing consumer needs.

Abstract
Slow-release delivery systems are needed to ensure long-term sustained treatments for retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, which are currently treated with anti-angiogenic agents that require frequent intraocular injections. These can cause serious co-morbidities for the patients and are far from providing the adequate drug/protein release rates and required pharmacokinetics to sustain prolonged efficacy. This review focuses on the use of hydrogels, particularly on temperature-responsive hydrogels as delivery vehicles for the intravitreal injection of retinal therapies, their advantages and disadvantages for intraocular administration, and the current advances in their use to treat retinal diseases.

ANNALES PHARMACEUTIQUES FRANÇAISES 2023; 81:284-299. [PMID: 36037932 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharma.2022.08.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fenofibrate (FNF), an anti-hyperlipidemic agent, suffers from poor water solubility (0.000707mg/ml) and belongs to class II drug as per BCS, shows a slow dissolution rate. The current investigation aimed to fabricate a fast-dissolving tablet of FNF (not available in the commercial market) using solid dispersion technique employing Vitamin E-D-α-Tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (vitamin E TPGS) as molecular biomaterial to enhance dissolution rate and reduce the time required to reach the systemic circulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Firstly, carrier material was selected based on the release study via preparing solid dispersion using the melting method, and prepared solid dispersion was characterized. Secondly, fast-dissolving tablets from solid dispersion were fabricated using the direct compression tool and characterized for X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, friability, hardness, content uniformity, weight variation and in vitro disintegration test. RESULTS The X-ray diffraction study confirmed the successful formation of solid dispersion using vitamin E TPGS by analyzing the change in physical state. The fabricated solid dispersion exhibited higher drug content than a physical mixture of FNF. An excipient interference study was also performed in methanol and 0.75% w/v sodium lauryl sulphate. It revealed no significant alterations in the absorption peak of FNF as analyzed using UV spectroscopy at 287nm. In addition, water absorption ratio phase solubility and wetting time were also assessed. In -vitro release of FNF from developed tablets was found significantly higher (93.23%±3.11; p<0.001) as compared to prepared compressed tablet of pure FNF (12.21±2.34%). The dissolution rate was also determined, and data were then kept to various kinetic models such as zero-order chemical kinetic, first-order chemical kinetic, Hixon-Crowell and Higuchi chemical kinetic. CONCLUSION A complete and sequential in vitro and physicochemical characterization of developed formulation was carried out to set-up improved and effective treatment for high blood cholesterol.

Abstract
PURPOSE Age-related eye diseases are becoming more prevalent. A notable increase has been seen in the most common causes including glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and cataract. Current clinical treatments vary from tissue replacement with polymers to topical eye drops and intravitreal injections. Research and development efforts have increased using polymers for sustained release to the eye to overcome treatment challenges, showing promise in improving drug release and delivery, patient experience, and treatment compliance. Polymers provide unique properties that allow for specific engineered devices to provide improved treatment options. Recent work has shown the utilization of synthetic and biopolymer derived biomaterials in various forms, with this review containing a focus on polymers Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for ocular use. METHODS This provides an overview of some prevalent synthetic polymers and biopolymers used in ocular delivery and their benefits, brief discussion of the various types and synthesis methods used, and administration techniques. Polymers approved by the FDA for different applications in the eye are listed and compared to new polymers being explored in the literature. This article summarizes research findings using polymers for ocular drug delivery from various stages: laboratory, preclinical studies, clinical trials, and currently approved. This review also focuses on some of the challenges to bringing these new innovations to the clinic, including limited selection of approved polymers. RESULTS Polymers help improve drug delivery by increasing solubility, controlling pharmacokinetics, and extending release. Several polymer classes including synthetic, biopolymer, and combinations were discussed along with the benefits and challenges of each class. The ways both polymer synthesis and processing techniques can influence drug release in the eye were discussed. CONCLUSION The use of biomaterials, specifically polymers, is a well-studied field for drug delivery, and polymers have been used as implants in the eye for over 75 years. Promising new ocular drug delivery systems are emerging using polymers an innovative option for treating ocular diseases because of their tunable properties. This review touches on important considerations and challenges of using polymers for sustained ocular drug delivery with the goal translating research to the clinic.

Abstract
Traditional antibacterial hydrogels have a broad-spectrum bactericidal effect and are widely used as wound dressings. However, the biological toxicity and drug resistance of these antibacterial hydrogels cannot meet the requirements of long-term clinical application. Imidazolium poly(ionic liquids) (PILs) are polymeric antibacterial agents exhibiting strong antibacterial properties, as they contain a strong positive charge. In this study, two imidazolium PILs, namely poly(N-butylimidazolium propiolic acid sodium) (PBP) and poly(N-(3,6-dioxaoctane) imidazolium propiolic acid sodium) (PDP), as high efficiency antibacterial agents, were synthesized by polycondensation reaction. Then, the PILs were compounded with polyethylene glycol (PEG) by a thiol-yne click reaction to prepare injectable antibacterial hydrogels. An in vitro assay showed that the injectable antibacterial hydrogels could not only quickly kill Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), but also had low toxicity for human skin fibroblasts cells (HSFs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), respectively. Additionally, the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) inflammation model revealed that the injectable antibacterial hydrogels also had anti-inflammatory effects, which would be advantageous to accelerate wound healing.

Abstract
Vitamin E is a common compound used for tocopherols and tocotrienols (α, β, γ, δ); it is the component of many natural products of both plant and animal origin. Thanks to its powerful antioxidant capacity, vitamin E has been very successful in hip and knee arthroplasty, used to confer resistance to oxidation to irradiated UHMWPE. The positive results of these studies have made vitamin E an important object of research in the biomedical field, highlighting other important properties, such as anti-bacterial, -inflammatory, and -cancer activities. In fact, there is an extensive literature dealing with vitamin E in different kinds of material processing, drug delivery, and development of surface coatings. Vitamin E is widely discussed in the literature, and it is possible to find many reviews that discuss the biological role of vitamin E and its applications in food packaging and cosmetics. However, to date, there is not a review that discusses the biomedical applications of vitamin E and that points to the methods used to detect it within a solid. This review specifically aims to compile research about new biomedical applications of vitamin E carried out in the last 20 years, with the intention of providing an overview of the methodologies used to combine it with implantable biomaterials, as well as to detect and characterize it within these materials.

Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the synthesis, characterization and drug release behaviors of organo-hydrogels containing pH-sensitive Agar (A), Glycerol (G), Sweet Almond oil (Wu et al. in J Mol Struct 882:107-115, 2008). Organo-hydrogels, which contained Agar, Glycerol and different amounts of Sweet Almond oil, were synthesized via the free-radical polymerization reaction with emulsion technique using glutaraldehyde or methylene bis acrylamide crosslinkers. Then, the degree of swelling, bond structures, blood compatibility and antioxidant properties of the synthesized organo-hydrogels were examined. In addition, Organo-hydrogels which loaded with Ceftriaxone and Oxaliplatin were synthesized with the same polymerization reaction and release kinetics were investigated. In vitro release studies were performed at media similar pH to gastric fluid (pH 2.0), skin surface (pH 5.5), blood fluid (pH 7.4) and intestinal fluid (pH 8.0), at 37 °C. The effects on release of crosslinker type and sweet almond oil amount were investigated. Kinetic parameters were determined using release results and these results were applied to zero and first-order equations and Korsmeyer-Peppas and Higuchi equations. Diffusion exponential was calculated for drug diffusion of organo-hydrogels and values consistent with release results were found.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels have received considerable interest in the biomedical field due to their potential applications in minimally invasive local drug delivery, more precise implantation, and site-specific drug delivery into poorly reachable tissue sites and into interface tissues, where wound healing takes a long time. Injectable hydrogels, such as in situ forming and/or shear-thinning hydrogels, can be generated using chemically and/or physically crosslinked hydrogels. Yet, for controlled and local drug delivery applications, the ideal injectable hydrogel should be able to provide controlled and sustained release of drug molecules to the target site when needed and should limit nonspecific drug molecule distribution in healthy tissues. Thus, such hydrogels should sense the environmental changes that arise in disease states and be able to release the optimal amount of drug over the necessary time period to the target region. To address this, researchers have designed stimuli-responsive injectable hydrogels. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels change their shape or volume when they sense environmental stimuli, e.g., pH, temperature, light, electrical signals, or enzymatic changes, and deliver an optimal concentration of drugs to the target site without affecting healthy tissues.

Abstract
The mechanical properties of temperature-responsive and biocompatible poly(oligo-ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate)-based gels were investigated using dynamic viscoelasticity measurements so as to find applications in tissue and biomedical engineering. The gels were copolymerized using two ethylene glycol methacrylate monomers with diethylene glycol side chains: diethylene glycol methacrylate (MeO2MA), which contains two ethylene oxide units, and oligo-ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA) with either four or five ethylene oxide units. The storage (G') and loss (G'') moduli of these gels exhibit unique temperature-responsive behavior and depend on the copolymerization ratio. In MeO2MA-rich gels, phase separation occurred with increasing temperature, resulting in a significant increase in G' and the disappearance of the frequency dependence of G''. Although phase separation of OEGMA-rich gels was also observed with increasing temperature, it resulted in only a slight increase in the storage modulus due to the steric hindrance of the side chain. The mechanical properties of these gels are thus found to be strongly affected by a slight difference in the number of ethylene oxide groups in their side chains.

Abstract
The very recent Covid-19 pandemic has made the need to understand biocompatible polymers as support material in drug delivery systems and controlled release clearer, especially for organo-hydrogels. This study aims to synthesize various new polymeric materials called gels, hydrogels, and organo-hydrogels according to the monomer used and to investigate their use as drug release systems. The agar-glycerol (AG) pair was used to synthesize the polymers, N, N, methylene bisacrylamide (MBA, m) and glutaraldehyde (GA, g) were used as cross-linkers and peppermint oil (PmO) was included to obtain the organo-hydrogels. Therefore, one AG gel and two p (AG-m) and p (GA-g) hydrogels were synthesized within the scope of the study. Six different organo-hydrogels based on p(AG-m-PmO) or p (AG-g-PmO) were also synthesized by varying the amount of peppermint oil. Paracetamol and carboplatin were selected as the sample drugs. Synthesized gels, hydrogels and organo-hydrogels were characterized by FTIR and SEM analysis. Additionally, swelling behaviors of the synthesized gels were investigated in different media (ID water, tap water, ethanol, acetone, ethanol/ID water (1:1), acetone/ID water (1:1) and gasoline) and at different pHs. Moreover, it was determined that organo-hydrogels were blood compatible and had antioxidant properties based on hemolysis, blood clotting and antioxidant analysis. Therefore, the release of paracetamol (a known antipyretic-painkiller, recommended and used in the treatment of Covid-19) and carboplatin (widely used in cancer treatment) were studied. Evidently, as the amount of PMO oil increases, the -OH groups in organo-hydrogels will increase and the chemical and physical bonding rates will increase; therefore it was observed that increasing peppermint oil in the organo-hydrogels structure to 0.3 mL stimulated the release of the drugs. For instance, maximum paracetamol release amount from p(AG-g-PmO) and p(AG-m-PmO) organo-hydrogels was calculated to be 72.3% at pH 7.4 and 69.8% at pH 2.0, respectively. The maximum carboplatin release amount from p(AG-g-PmO) and p(AG-m-PmO) organo-hydrogels was calculated to be 99.7% at pH 7.4 and 100% at pH 7.4, respectively. It was concluded that the synthesized organo-hydrogels might easily be used as drug carrier and controlled drug release materials. Novel organo-hydrogels were synthesized using agar, glycerol and peppermint oil for drug carrier and controlled release. Biocompatibility and antioxidant properties of organo-hydrogels were investigated. Covid-19 and cancer sensitive drugs (Paracetamol and Carboplatin) were accomplished. The superior properties of the synthesized organo-hydrogels make them useful in biomedical, pharmaceutical and drug delivery systems applications.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver toxicity is one of the most common reasons for the failure of drugs in clinical trials and frequent withdrawal from the market. Reasons for such failures include the low predictive power of in vivo studies, that is mainly caused by metabolic differences between humans and animals, and intraspecific variances. In addition to factors such as age and genetic background, changes in drug metabolism can also be caused by disease-related changes in the liver. Such metabolic changes have also been observed in clinical settings, for example, in association with a change in liver stiffness, a major characteristic of an altered fibrotic liver. For mimicking these changes in an in vitro model, this study aimed to develop scaffolds that represent the rigidity of healthy and fibrotic liver tissue. We observed that liver cells plated on scaffolds representing the stiffness of healthy livers showed a higher metabolic activity compared to cells plated on stiffer scaffolds. Additionally, we detected a positive effect of a scaffold pre-coated with fetal calf serum (FCS)-containing media. This pre-incubation resulted in increased cell adherence during cell seeding onto the scaffolds. In summary, we developed a scaffold-based 3D model that mimics liver stiffness-dependent changes in drug metabolism that may more easily predict drug interaction in diseased livers.

Abstract
The innate graded structural and compositional profile of musculoskeletal tissue interfaces is disrupted and replaced by fibrotic tissue in the context of disease and degeneration. Tissue engineering strategies focused on the restoration of the transitional complexity found in those junctions present special relevance for regenerative medicine. Herein, we developed a gelatin-based multiphasic hydrogel system, where sections with distinct composition and microstructure were integrated in a single unit. In each phase, hydroxyapatite particles or cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were incorporated into an enzymatically cross-linked gelatin network to mimic bone or tendon tissue, respectively. Stiffer hydrogels were produced with the incorporation of mineralized particles, and magnetic alignment of CNC resulted in anisotropic structure formation. The evaluation of the biological commitment with human adipose-derived stem cells toward the tendon-to-bone interface revealed an aligned cell growth and higher synthesis and deposition of tenascin in the anisotropic phase, while the activity of the secreted alkaline phosphatase and the expression of osteopontin were induced in the mineralized phase. These results highlight the potential versatility offered by gelatin-transglutaminase enzyme tandem for the development of strategies that mimic the graded, composite, and complex intersections of the connective tissues.

Abstract
Nanoencapsulation of α-tocopherol (α-TOC) by blending sodium oleate (NaOl) and rebaudioside A (RebA) was successfully prepared by self-assembly method under mild conditions. The optimized nanoemulsion showed the loading capacity of α-TOC was 30 wt% of sodium oleate. FTIR analysis suggested that hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions were the major forces in α-TOC-NaOl/RebA complexes that were spherical and possessed well-distinguishable core-shell structures. The freeze-dried α-TOC-NaOl/RebA complexes had great stability under ambient conditions. The release profile of α-TOC showed a first-order kinetics reaching around 67.9% after 90 h at 25 °C. Nanoencapsulation improved dispersibility and greatly increased the antioxidant activity of α-TOC. Therefore, the stable α-TOC-NaOl/RebA core-shell complexes prepared from “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) ingredients have great potential to supplement α-TOC in food and cosmetic products.

Abstract
Here, we report the self-assembly of Amoc (9-anthracenemethoxycarbonyl)-capped dipeptides, which self-assemble to form injectable, self-healable, and shape-memory hydrogels with inherent antibacterial properties. Amoc-capped dipeptides self-assemble to form nanofibrillar networks, which are established by several spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The inherent antibacterial properties of hydrogels are evaluated using two Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and three Gram-negative Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella typhi bacteria. These hydrogels exhibit potent antibacterial efficacy against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC50) for the hydrogels on Gram-positive bacteria are in the range of 10-200 μM hydrogelator concentrations. The biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of the hydrogels are evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), hemolysis, and lipid peroxidation (LPO) assay on human blood cells. The hydrogels are hemocompatible and they decrease LPO values on human red blood cells probably via increased cellular stability against oxidative stress. Furthermore, MTT data show that the hydrogels are biocompatible and promote cell viability and proliferation on cultured human white blood cells. Taken together, these results may suggest that our designed injectable hydrogels could be useful to prevent localized bacterial infections.

Abstract
Injectable scaffolds find many applications on the biomedical field due to several advantages on preformed scaffolds such as being able to fill any defect can be used in minimal invasion surgeries and are ready to use products. The most critical parameter for an injectable scaffold usage is its injectability, which can be related with rheological properties. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to increase knowledge about the critical parameters influencing injectability of biopolymers used for injectable scaffolds. Rheological and mechanical properties of a biopolymer blend in combination with injectability tests for a given design space controlled by the concentrations of both polymers and temperatures was made. Then those results were modeled to better understand the impact of parameters on injectability. The biopolymer blend chosen was Chitosan physically blended with Poly(ethylene glycol) where variations of both polymer concentrations and molecular weights were tested. Rheological and mechanical properties of all samples were determined, together with the injection force using a compression test at different injection conditions. All solutions were clear and transparent suggesting perfect miscibility. Rheological results were modeled using Ostwald-Waelle law and revealed a shear thinning pseudo-plastic solution at any composition and temperature, being chitosan concentration the most influencing variable. Compression tests results revealed mean injection forces ranging from 9.9 ± 0.06N to 29.9 ± 0.65N and it was possible to accurately estimate those results. Simulations revealed draw speed as the most influencing parameter. Cell viability tests revealed a non-cytotoxic biopolymer blend.

Abstract
Nanocomposite microgels that selectively adsorb and release halogen compounds were developed. These nanocomposite microgels consist of poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (pMEA) and a poly(oligo ethylene glycol methacrylate) hydrogel matrix. Therefore, the methoxy groups of the former are crucial for the halogen bonding, while the presence of the latter adds colloidal stability and allows controlled uptake/release of the halogen compounds. Such nanocomposite microgels may not only be used as dispersed carriers, but also in films and columnar formations. Thus, these unprecedented polymer/polymer nanocomposite microgels resolve a variety of problems associated with, e.g., the removal of halogen compounds from wastewater, or with the delivery of halogen-containing drugs.

Abstract
Drug administration by intra-articular injection is an emerging popular treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA). This method of drug administration minimizes the toxic effects of the drugs administered systemically, and maximizes local effects. However, traditional oral drugs delivered via intra-articular injection are limited by the lack of sustained release. Injectable materials such as hydrogels or hydrogel microspheres have been extensively studied for their applications as intra-articular injection for the treatment of OA, which is attribute to their minimally invasive manner, extended drug retention time and high loading efficiency. In this review, we summarized hydrogel types and hydrogel characteristics for intra-articular injection, and the drugs, proteins and cells used in the injectable delivery systems. Through this review, we hope to inspire researchers to construct novel hydrogel-based delivery system for the intra-articular injection treatment of knee OA.
