[PMID: 39187099 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) poses a universal concern owing to the widespread use of antibiotics in various sectors. Nanotechnology emerges as a promising solution to combat ABR, offering targeted drug delivery, enhanced bioavailability, reduced toxicity, and stability. This comprehensive review explores concepts of antibiotic resistance, its mechanisms, and multifaceted approaches to combat ABR. The review provides an in-depth exploration of polymeric nanoparticles as advanced drug delivery systems, focusing on strategies for targeting microbial infections and contributing to the fight against ABR. Nanoparticles revolutionize antimicrobial approaches, emphasizing passive and active targeting. The role of various molecules, including small molecules, antimicrobial peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, and stimuli-responsive systems, is being explored in recent research works. The complex comprehension mechanisms of ABR and strategic use of nanotechnology present a promising avenue for advancing antimicrobial tactics, ensuring treatment efficacy, minimizing toxic effects, and mitigating development of ABR. Polymeric nanoparticles, derived from natural or synthetic polymers, are crucial in overcoming ABR. Natural polymers like chitosan and alginate exhibit inherent antibacterial properties, while synthetic polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and polycaprolactone (PCL) can be engineered for specific antibacterial effects. This comprehensive study provides a valuable source of information for researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers engaged in the urgent quest to overcome ABR.

[PMID: 39273503 PMCID: PMC11394794 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25179556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2024] [Revised: 08/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Personal protective equipment (PPE) has attracted more attention since the outbreak of the epidemic in 2019. Advanced nano techniques, such as electrospinning, can provide new routes for developing novel PPE. However, electrospun antibacterial PPE is not easily obtained. Fibers loaded with photosensitizers prepared using single-fluid electrospinning have a relatively low utilization rate due to the influence of embedding and their inadequate mechanical properties. For this study, monolithic nanofibers and core-shell nanofibers were prepared and compared. Monolithic F1 fibers comprising polyethylene oxide (PEO), poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (PVA-co-PE), and the photo-antibacterial agent vitamin K3 (VK3) were created using a single-fluid blending process. Core-shell F2 nanofibers were prepared using coaxial electrospinning, in which the extensible material PEO was set as the core section, and a composite consisting of PEO, PVA-co-PE, and VK3 was set as the shell section. Both F1 and F2 fibers with the designed structural properties had an average diameter of approximately 1.0 μm, as determined using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. VK3 was amorphously dispersed within the polymeric matrices of F1 and F2 fibers in a compatible manner, as revealed using X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Monolithic F1 fibers had a higher tensile strength of 2.917 ± 0.091 MPa, whereas the core-shell F2 fibers had a longer elongation with a break rate of 194.567 ± 0.091%. Photoreaction tests showed that, with their adjustment, core-shell F2 nanofibers could produce 0.222 μmol/L ·OH upon illumination. F2 fibers had slightly better antibacterial performance than F1 fibers, with inhibition zones of 1.361 ± 0.012 cm and 1.296 ± 0.022 cm for E. coli and S. aureus, respectively, but with less VK3. The intentional tailoring of the components and compositions of the core-shell nanostructures can improve the process-structure-performance relationship of electrospun nanofibers for potential sunlight-activated antibacterial PPE.

Abstract
Chronic wounds present considerable challenges which delay their effective healing. Currently, there are several biomaterial-based wound dressings available for healing diverse wound types. However, most of commercial wound dressings are too expensive to be affordable to the patients belonging to the middle and lower socioeconomic strata of the society. Thus, in this investigation affordable triple layered nanofibrous bandages were fabricated using the layer-by-layer approach. Here, the topmost layer comprised of a hydrophilic poly vinyl alcohol layer, cross-linked with citric acid. The middle layer comprising of cellulose acetate was loaded with silver nanoparticles as an antibacterial agent, while the lowermost layer was fabricated using hydrophobic polycaprolactone. The triple-layered nanofibrous bandages having a nano-topography, exhibited a smooth, uniform and bead-free morphology, with the nanofiber diameter ranging between 200 and 300 nm. The nanofibers demonstrated excellent wettability, slow in vitro degradation, controlled release of nano‑silver and potent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative (E.coli) and Gram-positive (S. aureus) bacteria. The fabricated bandages had excellent mechanical strength upto 12.72 ± 0.790 M. Pa, which was suitable for biomedical and tissue engineering applications. The bandage demonstrated excellent in vitro hemocompatibility and biocompatibility. In vivo excisional wound contraction, along with H and E and Masson's Trichrome staining further confirmed the potential of the nanofibrous bandage for full-thickness wound healing. Pre-clinical investigations thus indicated the possibility of further evaluating the triple-layered nanofibrous dressing in clinical settings.

Study on the Effect of Pharmaceutical Excipient PEG400 on the Pharmacokinetics of Baicalin in Cells Based on MRP2, MRP3, and BCRP Efflux Transporters. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:731. [PMID: 38931853 PMCID: PMC11206988 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16060731] [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: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Pharmaceutical excipient PEG400 is a common component of traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations. Studies have demonstrated that pharmaceutical excipients can directly or indirectly influence the disposition process of active drugs in vivo, thereby affecting the bioavailability of drugs. In order to reveal the pharmacokinetic effect of PEG400 on baicalin in hepatocytes and its mechanism, the present study first started with the effect of PEG400 on the metabolic disposition of baicalin at the hepatocyte level, and then the effect of PEG400 on the protein expression of baicalin-related transporters (BCRP, MRP2, and MRP3) was investigated by using western blot; the effect of MDCKII-BCRP, MDCKII-BCRP, MRP2, and MRP3 was investigated by using MDCKII-BCRP, MDCKII-MRP2, and MDCKII-MRP3 cell monolayer models, and membrane vesicles overexpressing specific transporter proteins (BCRP, MRP2, and MRP3), combined with the exocytosis of transporter-specific inhibitors, were used to study the effects of PEG400 on the transporters in order to explore the possible mechanisms of its action. The results demonstrated that PEG400 significantly influenced the concentration of baicalin in hepatocytes, and the AUC0-t of baicalin increased from 75.96 ± 2.57 μg·h/mL to 106.94 ± 2.22 μg·h/mL, 111.97 ± 3.98 μg·h/mL, and 130.42 ± 5.26 μg·h/mL (p ˂ 0.05). Furthermore, the efflux rate of baicalin was significantly reduced in the vesicular transport assay and the MDCKII cell model transport assay, which indicated that PEG400 had a significant inhibitory effect on the corresponding transporters. In conclusion, PEG400 can improve the bioavailability of baicalin to some extent by affecting the efflux transporters and thus the metabolic disposition of baicalin in the liver.

Abstract
Electrospun biomimetic materials based on polyester of natural origin poly-3-hudroxybutyrate (PHB) modified with hemin (Hmi) and fibrinogen (Fbg) represent a great interest and are potentially applicable in various fields. Here, we describe formulation of the new fibrous PHB-Fbg and PHB-Hmi-Fbg materials with complex structure for biomedical application. The average diameter of the fibers was 3.5 μm and 1.8 μm respectively. Hmi presence increased porosity from 80 % to 94 %, significantly reduced the number of defects, ensured the formation of a larger number of open pores, and improved mechanical properties. Hmi presence significantly improved the molding properties of the material. Hmi facilitated effective Fbg adsorption on the of the PHB wound-healing material, ensuring uniform localization of the protein on the surface of the fibers. Next, we evaluated cytocompatibility, cell behavior, and open wound healing in mice. The results demonstrated that PHB-Fbg and PHB-Hmi-Fbg electrospun materials had pronounced properties and may be promising for early-stage wound healing - the PHB-Hmi-Fbg sample accelerated wound closure by 35 % on the 3rd day, and PHB-Hmi showed 45 % more effective wound closure on the 15th day.

Abstract
Introduction Cartilage regeneration is a challenging issue due to poor regenerative properties of tissues. Electrospun nanofibers hold enormous potentials for treatments of cartilage defects. However, nanofibrous materials used for the treatment of cartilage defects often require physical and/or chemical modifications to promote the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of cells. Thus, it is highly desirable to improve their surface properties with functionality. We aim to design hydrophilic, adhesive, and compound K-loaded nanofibers for treatments of cartilage defects. Methods Hydrophilic and adhesive compound K-containing polycaprolactone nanofibers (CK/PCL NFs) were prepared by coatings of gallic acid-conjugated chitosan (CHI-GA). Therapeutic effects of CHI-GA/CK/PCL NFs were assessed by the expression level of genes involved in the cartilage matrix degradation, inflammatory response, and lipid accumulations in the chondrocytes. In addition, Cartilage damage was evaluated by safranin O staining and immunohistochemistry of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) using OA animal models. To explore the pathway associated with therapeutic effects of CHI-GA/CK/PCL NFs, cell adhesion, phalloidin staining, and the expression level of integrins and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARs) were evaluated. Results CHI-GA-coated side of the PCL NFs showed hydrophilic and adhesive properties, whereas the unmodified opposite side remained hydrophobic. The expression levels of genes involved in the degradation of the cartilage matrix, inflammation, and lipogenesis were decreased in CHI-GA/CK/PCL NFs owing to the release of CK. In vivo implantation of CHI-GA/CK/PCL NFs into the cartilage reduced cartilage degradation induced by destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) surgery. Furthermore, the accumulation of lipid deposition and expression levels of IL-1β was reduced through the upregulation of PPAR. Conclusion CHI-GA/CK/PCL NFs were effective in the treatments of cartilage defects by inhibiting the expression levels of genes involved in cartilage degradation, inflammation, and lipogenesis as well as reducing lipid accumulation and the expression level of IL-1β via increasing PPAR.

Abstract
Synthetic polymers, such as PCL and PLGA, are among the main material choices in tissue engineering because of their stable structures and strong mechanical properties. In this study, we designed polycaprolactone (PCL)/polylactic-co-glycolate acid (PLGA) nanofibers doped with carbonate hydroxyapatite (CHA) and egg white (EW) with enhanced properties. The addition of CHA and EW significantly influenced the properties and morphology of PCL/PLGA nanofibers; whereby the CHA substitution (PCL/PLGA/CHA) greatly increased the mechanical properties related to the Young's modulus and EW doping (PCL/PLGA/CHA/EW) increased the elongation at break. Bioactivity tests of PCL/PLGA/CHA/EW after immersion in the SBF for 3 to 9 days showed increased fiber diameters and a good swelling capacity that could improve cell adhesion, while biocompatibility tests with NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells showed good cell proliferation (85%) after 48 h and antibacterial properties against S. aureus.

Abstract
Skin wound healing is one of the most challenging processes for skin reconstruction, especially after severe injuries. In our study, nanofiber membranes were prepared for wound healing using an electrospinning process, where the prepared nanofibers were made of different weight ratios of polycaprolactone and bioactive glass that can induce the growth of new tissue. The membranes showed smooth and uniform nanofibers with an average diameter of 118 nm. FTIR and XRD results indicated no chemical interactions of polycaprolactone and bioactive glass and an increase in polycaprolactone crystallinity by the incorporation of bioactive glass nanoparticles. Nanofibers containing 5% w/w of bioactive glass were selected to be loaded with atorvastatin, considering their best mechanical properties compared to the other prepared nanofibers (3, 10, and 20% w/w bioactive glass). Atorvastatin can speed up the tissue healing process, and it was loaded into the selected nanofibers using a dip-coating technique with ethyl cellulose as a coating polymer. The study of the in vitro drug release found that atorvastatin-loaded nanofibers with a 10% coating polymer revealed gradual drug release compared to the non-coated nanofibers and nanofibers coated with 5% ethyl cellulose. Integration of atorvastatin and bioactive glass with polycaprolactone nanofibers showed superior wound closure results in the human skin fibroblast cell line. The results from this study highlight the ability of polycaprolactone-bioactive glass-based fibers loaded with atorvastatin to stimulate skin wound healing.

Development of SiC-TiO 2-Graphene neem extracted antimicrobial nano membrane for enhancement of multiphysical properties and future prospect in dental implant applications. Heliyon 2022; 8:e10603. [PMID: 36158080 PMCID: PMC9489977 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e10603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This paper presents the coating technology on Nano membrane using SiC-TiO2-Graphene with varying percentages of Azadirachta indica (Neem) extract with an objective to develop new coating materials. The nanomembranes have been synthesized by electrospinning machine over aluminum foil paper using the raw materials PVA grain, SiC, TiO2, Graphene, and neem. The nanomembranes have been characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, Surface Roughness, antibacterial, and Cytotoxicity test. FTIR analysis established the presence of PVA and neem indicating the formation of different organic compounds. It also confirmed that no chemical reaction occurred during the synthesis process. The membrane's roughness analysis obtained average roughness values from 1.15 to 3.84. The formation of homogeneous and smooth membranes with the formation of micropores was confirmed by SEM analysis. Miller Indices identified different types of crystal structures in XRD analysis. Antibacterial activity increased with the increase of the percentage of neem confirmed by the antibacterial test. No toxic effects were observed from the membrane during the cytotoxicity test. The obtained data confirmed that the synthesized nanomembrane could be used in different biomedical applications.
