Abstract
Co-encapsulated xanthoxylin (GX-50) and vitamin C (Vc) microcapsules (GX-50-Vc-M) were prepared by the combination of a water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) double emulsion with complex coacervation. The W1/O/W2 double emulsion was prepared by two-step emulsification, and it has a uniform particle size of 8.388 μm and high encapsulation efficiencies of GX-50 (85.95%) and Vc (67.35%) under optimized process conditions. Complex coacervation occurs at pHs 4.0-4.7, which has the highest encapsulation efficiency of GX-50 and Vc at pH 4.5. The complex coacervate with tannic acid solidifying (namely, wet microcapsules) has better mechanical properties and also enhances the ability of co-encapsulation of active ingredients. The resulting microcapsules by freeze-drying of wet microcapsules were characterized by UV-vis absorbance spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FI-IR), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH·) radical scavenging, and in vitro permeation measurements. Under optimal conditions, the encapsulation efficiency and drug loading of GX-50-Vc-M for GX-50 and Vc are, respectively, 78.38 ± 0.51 and 59.34 ± 0.56%, and 35.6 ± 0.68 and 29.8 ± 0.92%. A slight shift in the FTIR peak between single GX-50 or Vc and GX-50-Vc-M confirmed the successful co-encapsulation of GX-50 and Vc in microcapsules. GX-50-Vc-M has bridged irregular spherical aggregates, while GX-50 and Vc are, respectively, encapsulated in hydrophobic and hydrophilic cavities of microcapsules in an amorphous dissolved state. GX-50-Vc-M has the highest DPPH· radical scavenging rate of 62.51%, and the scavenging process of GX-50-Vc-M on DPPH· radicals is more in line with the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation model. Moreover, the in vitro permeation of GX-50 and Vc in GX-50-Vc-M can reach maximum values of 40 and 60%, respectively. This concludes that GX-50-Vc-M is a promising delivery system for the penetration of the antioxidant into the deeper layers of the skin for the antioxidant effect.

Gradzielski M. Polyelectrolyte-Surfactant Complexes As a Formulation Tool for Drug Delivery. LANGMUIR : THE ACS JOURNAL OF SURFACES AND COLLOIDS 2022; 38:13330-13343.

Abstract
Aqueous polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes (PESCs) are very rich with respect to their properties and the structures formed by them. By design they normally contain hydrophobic micellar surfactant aggregates complexed by long polyelectrolyte chains, thereby combining the formation of small hydrophobic domains given by the surfactant with large-scale structuring due to the presence of the polyelectrolyte chain. In addition, they contain highly polar regions of surfactant head groups in contact with polyelectrolyte, forming a shell around the micellar aggregates, which often also possesses a certain hydrophobic character. Accordingly, the ability for solubilization of water-insoluble compounds of different sorts is particularly versatile in PESCs. Their solubilization sites with very different polarities and hydrophobic characters make them very flexible in adapting to the requirements of a given drug molecule. This renders them attractive for potential applications in drug delivery. In addition, modification of the rheological properties via self-assembly and network formation can be very important in PESC applications. In the following, we discuss the structures of PESCs and their properties, with a focus on the solubilization properties. Subsequently, examples are described where PESCs have been employed in the context of drug solubilization and delivery. These comprise examples with individual aggregates, cross-linked hydrogels, and ones taking advantage of the high solubilization capacity of microemulsions.

Abstract
To deal with increasingly severe periods of dehydration related to global climate change, it becomes increasingly important to understand the complex strategies many organisms have developed to cope with dehydration and desiccation. While it is undisputed that late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins play a key role in the tolerance of plants and many anhydrobiotic organisms to water limitation, the molecular mechanisms are not well understood. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of the physiological roles of LEA proteins and discuss their potential molecular functions. As these are ultimately linked to conformational changes in the presence of binding partners, post-translational modifications, or water deprivation, we provide a detailed summary of current knowledge on the structure-function relationship of LEA proteins, including their disordered state in solution, coil to helix transitions, self-assembly, and their recently discovered ability to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation. We point out the promising potential of LEA proteins in biotechnological and agronomic applications, and summarize recent advances. We identify the most relevant open questions and discuss major challenges in establishing a solid understanding of how these intriguing molecules accomplish their tasks as cellular sentinels at the limits of surviving water scarcity.

Abstract
Lyotropic liquid crystals result from the self-assembly process of amphiphilic molecules, such as lipids, into water, being organized in different mesophases. The non-lamellar formed mesophases, such as bicontinuous cubic (cubosomes) and inverse hexagonal (hexosomes), attract great scientific interest in the field of pharmaceutical nanotechnology. In the present review, an overview of the engineering and characterization of non-lamellar lyotropic liquid crystalline nanosystems (LLCN) is provided, focusing on their advantages as drug delivery nanocarriers and innovative vaccine platforms. It is described that non-lamellar LLCN can be utilized as drug delivery nanosystems, as well as for protein, peptide, and nucleic acid delivery. They exhibit major advantages, including stimuli-responsive properties for the “on demand” drug release delivery and the ability for controlled release by manipulating their internal conformation properties and their administration by different routes. Moreover, non-lamellar LLCN exhibit unique adjuvant properties to activate the immune system, being ideal for the development of novel vaccines. This review outlines the recent advances in lipid-based liquid crystalline technology and highlights the unique features of such systems, with a hopeful scope to contribute to the rational design of future nanosystems.

Modulating Role of Co-Solutes in Complexation between Bovine Serum Albumin and Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14061245. [PMID: 35335575 PMCID: PMC8953846 DOI: 10.3390/polym14061245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 03/12/2022] [Accepted: 03/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The action of three types of co-solutes: (i) salts (NaCl, NaBr, NaI), (ii) polymer (polyethylene glycol; PEG-400, PEG-3000, PEG-20000), and (iii) sugars (sucrose, sucralose) on the complexation between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and sodium polystyrene sulfonate (NaPSS) was studied. Three critical pH parameters were extracted from the pH dependence of the solution’s turbidity: pHc corresponding to the formation of the soluble complexes, pHΦ corresponding to the formation of the insoluble complexes, and pHopt corresponding to the charge neutralization of the complexes. In the presence of salts, the formation of soluble and insoluble complexes as well as the charge neutralization of complexes was hindered, which is a consequence of the electrostatic screening of attractive interactions between BSA and NaPSS. Distinct anion-specific trends were observed in which the stabilizing effect of the salt increased in the order: NaCl < NaBr < NaI. The presence of PEG, regardless of its molecular weight, showed no measurable effect on the formation of soluble complexes. PEG-400 and PEG-3000 showed no effect on the formation of insoluble complexes, but PEG-20000 in high concentrations promoted their formation due to the molecular crowding effect. The presence of sugar molecules had little effect on BSA-NaPSS complexation. Sucralose showed a minor stabilizing effect with respect to the onset of complex formation, which was due to its propensity to the protein surface. This was confirmed by the fluorescence quenching assay (Stern-Volmer relationship) and all-atom MD simulations. This study highlights that when evaluating the modulatory effect of co-solutes on protein-polyelectrolyte interactions, (co-solute)-protein interactions and their subsequent impact on protein aggregation must also be considered.

Abstract
Cubosomes and hexosomes are nanostructured liquid crystalline particles, known as biocompatible nanocarriers for drug delivery. In recent years, there has been good interest in using cubosomes and hexosomes for the delivery of bioactive compounds in functional foods. These systems feature thermodynamic stability, encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances, and have a high tolerance to environmental stresses and potential for controlled release. This review outlines the recent advances in cubosomes and hexosomes in the food industry, focusing on their structure, composition, formation mechanisms, and factors influencing phase transformation between cubosomes and hexosomes. The potential applications especially for the bioactive delivery are presented. The integration of cubosomes and hexosomes with other emerging encapsulation technologies such as surface coating, gelation, and incorporation of polymers are also discussed.

Abstract
Monoolein cubic phase immobilizing hydrophobically modified gelatin (HmGel) in its water channel was prepared by a melt-hydration method. The cubic phase was micronized into cubosomes by using hydrophobically modified quaternized cellulose nanofiber (HmQCNF) as a stabilizer. The phase transition temperature of the cubic phase was about 68-70 °C. Small angle X-ray diffraction revealed that HmGel-loaded cubosome stabilized with HmCNF was a diamond type of cubic phase. HmGel-loaded cubosomes stailized with HmQCNF were dependent on the pH value in terms of the release of their payload (i.e, methylene blue) much more strongly than HmGel-loaded cubosomes stabilized with Pluronic F127.

Abstract
The influence of two tuning agents, polyglycerol ester (PE) and triblock copolymer (TC), on the properties of glycerol monooleate (MO) liquid crystalline phase (LCP) was investigated to achieve the therapeutic concentration of vancomycin hydrochloride (VHCl) into the eye, topically during 60 min (1 h) and intravitreally during 2880 min (48 h). Different techniques were used to elucidate the impact of surfactants on the structure of the LCP: polarized light microscopy (PLM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and in vitro release tests I and II (simulating local and intravitreal application in the eye). The structure analysis by SAXS depicts that the inclusion of PE into the MO LCP provided partial transition of a hexagonal phase into a lamellar phase, and TC induced a partial transition of a hexagonal phase into an LCP which identification was difficult. The LCP modulated with PE and TC demonstrated different VHCl's release patterns and were evaluated by comparing our release data with the literature data. The comparison indicated that the LCP modulated with 30% w/w PE could be a promising VHCl delivery system intravitreally during 2880 min.

Abstract
Nanostructure bicontinuous cubic phase self-assembled materials are receiving expanding applications as biocompatible delivery systems in various therapeutic fields. The functionalization of cubosome, spongosome, hexosome and liposome nanocarriers by pH-sensitive lipids and/or pH-sensitive polymer shells offers new opportunities for oral and topical drug delivery towards a new generation of cancer therapies. The electrochemical behavior of drug compounds may favor pH-triggered drug release as well. Here, we highlight recent investigations, which explore the phase behavior of mixed nonlamellar lipid/fatty acid or phospholipid systems for the design of pH-responsive and mucoadhesive drug delivery systems with sustained-release properties. X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques are widely used in the development of innovative delivery assemblies through detailed structural analyses of multiple amphiphilic compositions from the lipid/co-lipid/water phase diagrams. pH-responsive nanoscale materials and nanoparticles are required for challenging therapeutic applications such as oral delivery of therapeutic proteins and peptides as well as of poorly water-soluble substances. Perspective nanomedicine developments with smart cubosome nanocarriers may exploit compositions elaborated to overcome the intestinal obstacles, dual-drug loaded pH-sensitive liquid crystalline architectures aiming at enhanced therapeutic efficacy, as well as composite (lipid/polyelectrolyte) types of mucoadhesive controlled release colloidal cubosomal formulations for the improvement of the drugs' bioavailability.

Abstract
Liquid droplets of protein-polyelectrolyte complexes (PPCs) have been developed as a new candidate for stabilization and concentration of protein drugs. However, it remains unclear whether additives affect the precipitation and redissolution yields of PPCs. In the present study, we investigated the PPC formation of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) and poly-L-glutamic acid (polyE) in the presence of various additives that have diverse effects, such as protein stabilization. Alcohols, including ethanol, successfully increased the PPC precipitation yield to over 90%, and the PPCs formed were completely redissolved at physiological ionic strength. However, poly(ethylene glycol), sugars, and amino acids did not improve the precipitation and redissolution yields of PPCs over those observed when no additives were included. Circular dichroism spectrometry showed that the secondary structure of polyE as well as electrostatic interactions play important roles in increasing the PPC precipitation yield when ethanol is used as an additive. The maximum concentration of IgG reached 100 mg/ml with the use of ethanol, which was 15% higher efficiency of the protein yield after precipitation and redissolution than that in the absence of additives. Thus, the addition of a small amount of ethanol is effective for the concentration and stabilization of precipitated PPCs containing IgG formulations.

Abstract
UV and NIR-responsive monoolein cubic phase was prepared by including poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI)/cinnamic acid (CA) conjugate and gold nanoparticle (GNP) within its structure. UV irradiation elevated significantly the release % of Auramine O loaded in cubic phase containing PEI/CA, possibly because of the trans-to-cis isomerization of CA. NIR irradiation also increased significantly the release % of FITC-dextran loaded in cubic phase containing PEI/CA. The release % of the dye loaded in cubic phase containing PEI/CA and GNP was elevated more markedly by NIR irradiation, possibly due to the phase transition of cubic phase and the disassembling of PEI/CA assembly.

Abstract
The coacervation of systems containing colloids (e.g. proteins or micelles) and polyelectrolytes (notably ionic polysaccharides) is often accompanied by precipitation. This can introduce inhomogeneity, irreversibility and irreproducible kinetics in applications in food science and bioengineering, with negative impact on texture and stability of food products, and unpredictable delivery of active "payloads." The relationship between coacervation and precipitation is obscure in that coacervates might be intermediates in the formation of precipitates, or else the two phenomena might proceed by different but possibly simultaneous mechanisms. This review will summarize the recent literature on coacervation/precipitation in protein-polyelectrolyte systems for which reports are most abundant, particularly in the context of food science. We present current findings and opinions about the relationship between the two types of phase separation. Results vary considerably depending not only on the protein-polyelectrolyte pairs chosen, but also on conditions including macromolecular concentrations and ionic strength. Nevertheless, we offer some general approaches that could explain a variety of observations.

Abstract
Cubosomes are nanostructured liquid crystalline particles, made of certain amphiphilic lipids in definite proportions, known as biocompatible carriers in drug delivery. Cubosomes comprise curved bicontinuous lipid bilayers that are organized in three dimensions as honeycombed structures and divided into two internal aqueous channels that can be exploited by various bioactive ingredients, such as chemical drugs, peptides and proteins. Owing to unique properties such as thermodynamic stability, bioadhesion, the ability of encapsulating hydrophilic, hydrophobic and amphiphilic substances, and the potential for controlled release through functionalization, cubosomes are regarded as promising vehicles for different routes of administration. Based on the most recent reports, this review introduces cubosomes focusing on their structure, preparation methods, mechanism of release and potential routes of administration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Given the benefits of polymer drug delivery implants over traditional periodic systemic administration, the development of biomaterial systems with the necessary properties (biocompatibility, degradation, stabilization, controllability) is paramount. Silk fibroin represents a promising, naturally derived polymer for local, controlled, sustained drug release from fully degrading implants and the polymer can be processed into a broad array of material formats. AREAS COVERED This review provides an overview of silk biomaterials for drug delivery, especially those that can function as long-term depots. Fundamentals of structure and assembly, processing options, control points and specific examples of implantable silk drug delivery systems (sponges, films) and injectable systems (microspheres, hydrogels) from the 1990s and onwards are reviewed. EXPERT OPINION Owing to its unique material properties, stabilization effects and tight controllability, silk fibroin is a promising biomaterial for implantable and injectable drug delivery applications. Many promising control points have been identified, and characterization of the relationships between silk processing and/or material properties and the resulting drug loading and release kinetics will ultimately enhance the overall utility of this unique biomaterial. The ever-expanding biomaterial 'tool kit' that silk provides will eventually allow the simultaneous optimization of implant structure, material properties and drug release behavior that is needed to maximize the cost-efficiency, convenience, efficacy and safety of many new and existing therapeutics, especially those that cannot be delivered by means of traditional administration approaches.
