Abstract
The unique structure of G4.0 PAMAM dendrimers allows a drug to be enclosed in internal spaces or immobilized on the surface. In the conducted research, the conditions for the formation of the active G4.0 PAMAM complex with doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) were optimized. The physicochemical properties of the system were monitored using dynamic light scattering (DLS), circular dichroism (CD), and fluorescence spectroscopy. The Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring (QCM-D) method was chosen to determine the preferential conditions for the complex formation. The highest binding efficiency of the drug to the cationic dendrimer was observed under basic conditions when the DOX molecule was deprotonated. The decrease in the zeta potential of the complex confirms that DOX immobilizes through electrostatic interaction with the carrier's surface amine groups. The binding constants were determined from the fluorescence quenching of the DOX molecule in the presence of G4.0 PAMAM. The two-fold way of binding doxorubicin in the structure of dendrimers was visible in the Isothermal calorimetry (ITC) isotherm. Fluorescence spectra and release curves identified the reversible binding of DOX to the nanocarrier. Among the selected cancer cells, the most promising anticancer activity of the G4.0-DOX complex was observed in A375 malignant melanoma cells. Moreover, the preferred intracellular location of the complexes concerning the free drug was found, which is essential from a therapeutic point of view.

Abstract
For the design of an efficient drug delivery system utilizing an ionic liquid (IL) as a carrier, it is prudent to gain molecular/atomistic level insights of a drug with IL in terms of binding and dynamics. In this scenario, the influence of anionic counterpart of imidazolium-based ILs, namely, 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium octyl sulfate [BMIM][OSU] and 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride [BMIM][Cl] in their submicellar region ([IL] = 20 mM) on the model water-soluble anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was probed by employing an arsenal of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) approaches. The salient feature of the present study includes the significant interaction of DOX with [BMIM][OSU], whereas the lack of such an interaction with [BMIM][Cl] is gauged by 1H NMR translation self-diffusometry and is further corroborated by 13C chemical shift perturbation. The two-step model was utilized to estimate the bound fraction (pb) and equivalent partition coefficient (K) of DOX with [BMIM][OSU]. A combination of selective and nonselective spin-lattice relaxation rates (R1SEL and R1NS, respectively) enables to gauze the significant interaction of DOX with [BMIM][OSU] over [BMIM][Cl]. Furthermore, 1D transient and truncated driven nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) data analyses in the initial rate limit permits the evaluation of the cross-relaxation efficacy of DOX with the investigated ILs. An Arrhenius-type temperature dependence of the drug's self-diffusion was observed for DOX, DOX-[BMIM][OSU], and DOX-[BMIM][Cl] aqueous mixtures and the corresponding activation energies were evaluated.

Abstract
Surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) show great promise as novel green solvents due to their low vapor pressure, high thermal stability, high electrical conductivity, and bio-friendly nature to replace traditional volatile organic solvents in industrial processes. In the present work, the combination of coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with conductivity measurements was employed to explain the correlation between the micelle morphology and physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of self-assembly. A homologous series of SAIL molecules, 1-n-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [Cnmim][Br] (n = 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12), were chosen at various concentrations to shed light on this issue. Simultaneously two factors of concentration and alkyl chain length affected the morphology to control the physical and thermodynamic features. Moreover, the nature of the headgroup for two SAILs with the longest alkyl chain was assessed by shifting from imidazolium into ammonium. First, the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the degree of counterion dissociation of micelles, and the standard Gibbs energy of micellization of SAILs were determined using conductivity data. The micelle morphology such as the aggregation number, micelle radius, and moment of inertia was computed before, around, and after the CMC by MD simulation. Simulated results in accordance with the experimental measurements provide a quantitative understanding of the micellar properties. Increasing the alkyl chain length was associated with a non-spherical bigger micelle while the ammonium-based surfactant with a lower repulsion between neighboring monomers in micelles induced bigger and more spherical aggregates. Raising the SAIL concentration did not considerably influence the sphericity of the micelle except for the SAIL with the longest tail. The umbrella sampling method calculated the potential of mean force (PMF) for pulling a monomer of SAIL from a pre-assembled micelle into the solution. The dissociation energy of a SAIL monomer from a micelle increased with the tail length or with shifting into the ammonium head group and was substantially influenced by micelle morphology. Comparison between a sphere micelle with an oval one demonstrated that the dissociation of a SAIL monomer from a non-spherical shape needed a higher amount of energy. An improved understanding of how the shape of the SAIL micelles controls the physicochemical properties and stability helps to extend their application to different chemical processes.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are emerging systems with applications in varying areas of biomedical research. This study aims at developing a biocompatible, dual function choline ester-based IL with chloride as anion ([Ch] IL) for stabilizing nucleic acids (DNA) and enhancing cellular uptake of drugs. The ability of IL to complex with DNA was characterized using electrophoresis, dye displacement and UV absorbance. The effect of pH on complex stability and protection of DNA from nuclease were also studied. Even though [Ch] IL had positive zeta potential and showed effective complex formation, at physiological pH the zeta potential of the complex decreased and became negative, thereby, destabilizing the complex. To address this, citric acid (CA) was added to [Ch] IL which facilitated strong complexation. Further, DNA could be retrieved from these complexes without compromising its purity and integrity. Additionally, [Ch] IL was found to improve the cellular uptake of doxorubicin by improving its solubility in water. Thus, we demonstrate that the [Ch] IL developed here can enhance nucleic acid stability, drug solubilization and cell penetration. Our results show that the developed [Ch] IL can be used for long term storage of nucleic acids as well as for enhancing permeation of drugs in vivo.

Abstract
In this study, special attention was paid to the correlation between the degree of ionization of the components and the effective formation of the complex under alkaline conditions. Using UV-Vis, 1H NMR, and CD, structural changes of the drug depending on the pH were monitored. In the pH range of 9.0 to 10.0, the G4.0 PAMAM dendrimer can bind 1 to 10 DOX molecules, while the efficiency increases with the concentration of the drug relative to the carrier. The binding efficiency was described by the parameters of loading content (LC = 4.80-39.20%) and encapsulation efficiency (EE = 17.21-40.16%), whose values increased twofold or even fourfold depending on the conditions. The highest efficiency was obtained for G4.0PAMAM-DOX at a molar ratio of 1:24. Nevertheless, regardless of the conditions, the DLS study indicates system aggregation. Changes in the zeta potential confirm the immobilization of an average of two drug molecules on the dendrimer's surface. Circular dichroism spectra analysis shows a stable dendrimer-drug complex for all the systems obtained. Since the doxorubicin molecule can simultaneously act as a therapeutic and an imaging agent, the theranostic properties of the PAMAM-DOX system have been demonstrated by the high fluorescence intensity observable on fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
The present communication offers a comprehensive overview of the self-assembly of bile salts emphasizing their mixed smart aggregates with a variety of amphiphiles. Using an updated literature survey, we have explored the dissimilar interactions of bile salts with different types of surfactants, phospholipids, ionic liquids, drugs, and a variety of natural and synthetic polymers. While assembling this review, special attention was also provided to the potency of bile salts to alter the size/shape of aggregates formed by several amphiphiles to use these aggregates for solubility improvement of medicinally important compounds, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and also to develop their smart delivery vehicles. A fundamental understanding of bile salt mixed aggregates will enable the development of new strategies for improving the bioavailability of drugs solubilized in newly developed potential hosts and to formulate smart aggregates of desired morphology for specific targeted applications. It enriches our existing knowledge of the distinct interactions exerted in mixed systems of bile salts with variety of amphiphiles. By virtue of this, researchers can get innovative ideas to construct novel nanoaggregates from bile salts by incorporating various amphiphiles that serve as a building block for smart aggregates for their numerous industrial applications.

Abstract
Self-assembled structures have attracted much attention for their potential applications in biological and electrochemical studies. Understanding the aggregation mechanism is necessary for utilizing the structures and improving the properties. In this study, the tubular cluster aggregations formed by the 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium salicylate ([C12mim][Sal]) have been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The rod-like and funnel-shaped structures were observed during the simulations, and finally, the nanotube structure enclosed by a bilayer membrane was formed. For the first time, the point cloud fitting method was used to obtain the axis equation of the tubular cluster. Based on the equation, the structure of tubular clusters was analyzed in detail. The imidazolium ring and anions were distributed at the ionic liquid-water interface, while the dodecyl groups were buried in the nanotube membrane away from the water. Electrostatic interactions between cations and anions played a dominant role in stabilizing the structure of the nanotube. The tubular cluster size, membrane thickness, and permeability of water molecules through the membrane of the cluster were also calculated. Furthermore, the orientation analysis revealed that multitudinous aggregation structures could be formed by the long alkyl chain in aqueous solution, which might be beneficial for the strengthening and separating processes.

Abstract
In the formulation of efficient drug delivery systems, it is essential to unravel the structural and dynamical aspects of the drug's interaction with biological membranes. This has been done for the anticancer drug-membrane system comprising doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), a water-soluble anticancer drug, and the micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the latter serving as a useful mimic for membrane proteins. Using a multimodal NMR approach involving 1H, 2H, and 13C as probe nuclei and through the determination of chemical shifts, spin-relaxation, nuclear Overhauser enhancements (NOE), and translational self-diffusion (SD), the binding characteristics of the DOX with SDS have been determined. The perturbation to 13C chemical shifts of SDS indicate the penetration of DOX into the SDS micelle, which is further revealed by 1H-1H NOESY and SD measurements. 2H spin-relaxation measurements and their analysis using a two-step model show DOX induced SDS micellar volume changes, which determine the correlation times involved in the DOX-SDS mobility.

Abstract
A tubular-shaped Janus nanoparticle based on polydopamine that responds to near-infrared, magnetic, and pH stimuli is reported. The robust tubular polydopamine structure was obtained by optimizing the halloysite template-to-dopamine ratio during synthesis. The inner and outer surfaces of the tube were exposed at different steps of the template-sonication--etching process, enabling the differential surface modification of these surfaces. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) were grafted to the outer and inner surface of the nanotube, respectively. The PEG-coated surface limited aggregation of the nanoparticles at elevated temperatures. The PNIPAM-coated interior enhanced doxorubicin loading and endowed the nanoparticle with temperature-responsive behavior. The deposition of precipitated Fe3O4 nanoparticles further modified the nanoparticles. The resulting magnetic Janus nanoparticles responded to pH, temperature, and magnetic fields. Temperature changes could be induced by near-infrared laser, and all three stimuli were found to influence release rates of adsorbed doxorubicin from the nanoparticles. The interaction of the stimuli on release kinetics was elucidated using a linear mixed model; reduced pH and NIR irradiation enhanced release while applying a static magnetic field retarded release. Furthermore, the mechanism was shifted toward Fickian behavior by applying a static magnetic field and low pH conditions. However, NIR irradiation only shifted the behavior toward Fickian behavior at low pH.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted growing interest as designer solvents/materials for exploring unrealized functions in many areas of research including drug formulations and delivery owing to their inherent tunable physicochemical and biological properties. The use of ILs in the pharmaceutical industry can address challenges related to the use of conventional organic solvent-based chemical permeation enhancers. Their tunability in forming ion pairs with a diverse range of ions enables the task-specific optimization of ILs at the molecular level. In particular, ILs comprising second- and third-generation cations and anions have been extensively used to design biocompatible drug delivery systems to address the challenges related to conventional topical and transdermal drug delivery, including limited permeability, high cytotoxicity, and skin irritation. This review highlights the progress in IL-related research with particular emphasis on the very recent conceptual developments in transdermal drug delivery. Technological advancement and approaches for the formation of IL-based topical and transdermal delivery systems, as well as their promising application in drug delivery, are also discussed.

Abstract
The investigation of the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules and the formation of micelles/vesicles has attracted significant attention. However, in situ and real-time methods for such studies are rare. Here, a surface-sensitive second harmonic generation (SHG) technique was applied to study the formation of vesicles in solutions of an anti-cancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX), and a generally used surfactant (sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, AOT). With the aid of two-photon fluorescence (TPF), Rayleigh scattering and TEM, we revealed the structural evolution of the aggregated micelles/vesicles. It was found that AOT and DOX molecules rapidly aggregated and formed micelles in the solution. The residual DOX then acted as a "glue" that induced the aggregating/growing of the micelles and the transformation from aggregates to vesicles. The existence of lipid films, which was considered as the necessary intermediate state for vesicle formation, was excluded via the SHG observations, indicating that hollow shells may be directly transformed from solid aggregated micelles in the self-assembly formation of complex vesicles. The combined spectroscopic methods were also used to investigate the formation of vesicles from a commonly used lipid (i.e., 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-(1-glycerol) sodium salt, DOPG) from its stacked bilayers. The swelling, curving and sealing of the DOPG bilayers for vesicle formation was monitored and clear dynamics were revealed. This work shows that the vesicle formation mechanism varies with the initial state of the surfactant/lipid molecules. It not only demonstrates the capability of the combined spectroscopic methods in investigating the aggregated systems but also provides new insight for understanding the formation of vesicles.

Abstract
Unilamellar vesicles in solution could open up new horizons for reaction and material delivery, but the formation mechanism especially for the permeability of the small molecule through the vesicle membrane is still unknown. In this study, the formation and permeability of the unilamellar vesicles formed by the ionic liquid 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium salicylate ([C12mim][Sal]) have been investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. Starting from a random distribution of ionic liquids, the entire process of vesicle formation could be observed on a nanosecond time scale, during which planar and cup-like structures are formed at the intermediate stage. Energy analysis reveals that the electrostatic interactions between cations and anions play a dominant role in forming and stabilizing the vesicle. Radial density distribution functions indicate that the final stable vesicle is a spherical bilayer structure. Besides, it was found that the structure of vesicles is maintained with the increase of temperature, while the water molecules in the vesicles could be completely exchanged quickly. These results suggest that vesicles may be beneficial for the enrichment or release of molecules.

Abstract
One of the congenital flaws of metabolism, phenylketonuria (PKU), is known to be related to the self-assembly of toxic fibrillar aggregates of phenylalanine (Phe) in blood at elevated concentrations. Our experimental findings using l-phenylalanine (l-Phe) at millimolar concentration suggest the formation of fibrillar morphologies in the dry phase, which in the solution phase interact strongly with the model membrane composed of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-phosphocholine (LAPC) lipid, thereby decreasing the rigidity (or increasing the fluidity) of the membrane. The hydrophobic interaction, in addition to the electrostatic attraction of Phe with the model membrane, is found to be responsible for such phenomena. On the contrary, various microscopic observations reveal that such fibrillar morphologies of l-Phe are severely ruptured in the presence of its enantiomer d-phenylalanine (d-Phe), thereby converting the fibrillar morphologies into crushed flakes. Various biophysical studies, including the solvation dynamics experiment, suggest that this l-Phe in the presence of d-Phe, when interacting with the same model membrane, now reverts the rigidity of the membrane, i.e., increases the rigidity of the membrane, which was lost due to interaction with l-Phe exclusively. Fluorescence anisotropy measurements also support this reverse rigid character of the membrane in the presence of an enantiomeric mixture of amino acids. A comprehensive understanding of the interaction of Phe with the model membrane is further pursued at the single-molecular fluorescence detection level using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) experiments. Therefore, our experimental conclusion interprets a linear correlation between increased permeability and enhanced fluidity of the membrane in the presence of l-Phe and certifies d-Phe as a therapeutic modulator of l-Phe fibrillar morphologies. Further, the study proposes that the rigidity of the membrane lost due to interaction with l-Phe was reinstated-in fact, increased-in the presence of the enantiomeric mixture containing both d- and l-Phe.

Abstract
"Mother nature" utilizes molecular self-assembly as an efficient tool to design several fascinating supramolecular architectures from simple building blocks like amino acids, peptides, and nucleobases. The self-assembling behavior of various biologically important molecules, morphological outcomes, molecular mechanism of association, and finally their applications in the real world draw broad interest from chemical and biological point of views. In this present Feature Article, the amyloid hypothesis is extended to include nonproteinaceous single metabolites that invoke a new paradigm for the pathology of inborn metabolic disorders. In this scenario, we dedicate this paper to understanding the morphological consequences and mechanistic insight of the self-assembly of some important amino acids (e.g., l-phenylalanine, l-tyrosine, glycine, etc.) and nucleobases (adenine and eight uracil moiety derivatives). Using proper spectroscopic and microscopic tools, distinct assembling mechanisms of different amino acids and nucleobases have been established. Again, lanthanides, polyphenolic compounds such as crown ethers, and a worldwide drink, beer, are elegantly employed as inhibitors of the resulting fibrillar aggregated structures. As a consequence, this study will cover literally a vast region in the self-assembling outcomes of single biologically important molecules, and therefore, we expect that a detailed understanding of such morphological outcomes using spectroscopic and microscopic approaches may open a new paradigm in this burgeoning field.

Abstract
pH/reduction dual-triggered chicken-feather-keratin-based prodrug nanoparticles (C-PK/- SS-Hy-D NPs) were designed via a facile one-pot oxidation coupling reaction between the thiol-functional acid-labile prodrug M-Hy-D and the PEGylated keratin (PK) graft copolymer, for tumor intracellular doxorubicin (DOX) delivery. Due to the encapsulation of the pH and the reduction of the dual-responsive small prodrug D-Hy- SS-Hy-D, a high drug content of 45.8% was obtained in the proposed prodrug nanoparticles. They exhibited excellent pH and reduction of dual-triggered drug release, with cumulative drug release of 88.6% within 51 h in the simulated tumor intracellular microenvironment, while the premature drug leakage was only 13.7% in the simulated normal physiological medium. The in vitro experiments revealed the enhanced antitumor efficacy of the C-PK/- SS-Hy-D NPs than the free DOX at a higher dosage of >10 μg/mL.
