Abstract
Electrochemical experiments such as potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and gravimetric studies have been used to examine the corrosion inhibitory efficacy of 4-[(4-nitrobenzylidene)-amino]-antipyrine (4-NBAAP) on mild steel (MS) in 1 M HCl. 4-NBAAP inhibits the corrosion of MS through a mixed inhibition mechanism, according to the electrochemical investigation. The efficiency of 4-NBAAP increases with an increase in the inhibitor concentration and decreases with an increase in temperature. The adsorption of 4-NBAAP molecules on the MS surface follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. To find the relationship between the 4-NBAAP molecular structure and inhibitive effect, a few thermodynamic parameters were computed. The experimental results obtained from gravimetric and different electrochemical investigations prove the superiority of the inhibitor at higher concentrations in controlling the corrosion process of the steel in aggressive environments. Also, quantum chemical studies were performed to provide further insights into the inhibition mechanism.

Abstract
Until now, chemotherapy, which has a series of side effects, has been the most widely employed treatment for different types of cancer. However, bioactive products have been utilized as alternative medicines for tumors due to their bioactivities with low or no side effects in normal cells. This research reported for the first time that curcumin (CUR) and paclitaxel (PTX) have significant anti-cancer activity against normal human gingival fibroblast (HGF) and tongue squamous cell carcinoma fibroblast (TSCCF) cell lines. The results showed that CUR (13.85 µg mL-1) and PTX (8.17 µg mL-1) significantly inhibited TSCCF cell viability, with no significant effect on normal HGF cells. SEM showed morphological changes in cells treated with CUR and PTX, especially with TSCCF cells, compared to HGF normal cells. For TSCCF, the results showed the highest necrosis was achieved with CUR (58.8%) and PTX (39%) as compared to the control (2.99%). For normal HGF cells, the highest early and late apoptosis was achieved with PTX. Further, DCFH-DA analyses showed no significant ROS stimulation in TSCCF and HGF cell lines treated with CUR and PTX. The 1H NMR analysis results show the presence of methoxy and hydroxyl groups and aromatic hydrogens in the CUR structure. In conclusion, the results confirmed that CUR is more specific to the oral cancer cells but not normal cells by inducing apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with decreased TSCCF cell viability, and the cytotoxicity of CUR and PTX is not through the ROS pathway.

Abstract
In our present work, we synthesized a new encapsulated complex denoted as RIBO-TSC4X, which was derived from an important vitamin riboflavin (RIBO) and p-sulfonatothiacalix[4]arene(TSC4X). The synthesized complex RIBO-TSC4X was then characterized by utilizing several spectroscopic techniques such as 1H-NMR, FT-IR, PXRD, SEM, and TGA. Job's plot has been employed to show the encapsulation of RIBO (guest) with TSC4X (host) having a 1:1 molar ratio. The molecular association constant of the complex entity (RIBO-TSC4X) was found to be 3116.29 ± 0.17 M-1, suggesting the formation of a stable complex. The augment in aqueous solubility of the RIBO-TSC4X complex compared to pure RIBO was investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy, and it was viewed that the newly synthesized complex has almost 30 times enhanced solubility over pure RIBO. The enhancement of thermal stability upto 440 °C for the RIBO-TSC4X complex was examined by TG analysis. This research also forecasts RIBO's release behavior in the presence of CT-DNA, and at the same time, BSA binding study was also carried out. The synthesized RIBO-TSC4X complex exhibited comparatively better free radical scavenging activity, thereby minimizing oxidative injury of the cell as evident from a series of antioxidant and anti-lipid peroxidation assay. Furthermore, the RIBO-TSC4X complex showed peroxidase-like biomimetic activity, which is very useful for several enzyme catalyst reactions.

The Formulation of Curcumin: 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin Complex with Smart Hydrogel for Prolonged Release of Curcumin. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:382.

Abstract
Curcumin comes from the plant species Curcuma longa and shows numerous pharmacological activities. There are numerous curcumin formulations with gels or cyclodextrins in order to increase its solubility and bioavailability. This paper presents the formulation of complex of curcumin with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in a thermosensitive hydrogel, based on N-isopropylmethacrylamide and N-isopropylacrylamide with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a crosslinker. The product was characterized by chemical methods and also by FTIR, HPLC, DSC, SEM, XRD. The results show that synthesis was successfully done. With an increase in the quantity of crosslinker in the hydrogels, the starting release and the release rate of curcumin from the formulation of the complex with hydrogels decreases. The release rate of curcumin from the gel complex formulation is constant over time. It is possible to design a formulation that will release curcumin for more than 60 days. In order to determine the mechanism and kinetics of curcumin release, various mathematical models were applied by using the DDSolver package for Microsoft Excel application. The Korsmeyer-Peppas model best describes the release of curcumin from the gel formulation of the complex, while the values for the diffusion exponent (0.063-0.074) shows that mechanism of the release rate is based on diffusion.

Abstract
Curcumin has a limited clinical application because of its extremely poor accessibility. In the present study, improved curcumin bioavailability within a castor oil polyurethane/layered double hydroxide (LDH) wound cover was achieved by preparing a curcumin p-sulfonic acid calix[4]arene (SC4A) inclusion complex. Then, it was utilized to intercalate MgAl-layered double hydroxide (MgAl-LDH) nanosheets. The incorporation of the nanostructure into a PU/Cur-SC4A-LDH film provided bacteria-killing performance against both Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria. This finding is due to an increase in curcumin bioavailability in the PU matrix. Furthermore, all PU nanocomposites exhibited appropriate cytocompatibility based on an MTT assay. Mainly, the proliferation of L929 fibroblast cells in contact with the PU/Cur-SC4A-LDH sample was significantly further enhanced than that for other nanocomposites within 7 days. This observation can be related to the better availability of curcumin on the film's surface, which causes an improvement in the proliferation rate of cells. Regarding the histological results, the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) images showed faster epidermal layer formation and a larger quantity of matured hair follicles for PU/Cur-SC4A-LDH-healed wounds in comparison with those for the negative control over a period of 28 days. Thus, this practical healing ability of the PU/Cur-SC4A-LDH nanocomposite makes it a promising candidate as a wound dressing film.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alkaloids exist in various herbal medicine widely and exhibit diverse biological and pharmacological activities. p-Sulphonatocalix[6]arenes (SC6A) and p-sulphonatocalix[8]arenes (SC8A) are water-soluble supramolecular macrocycles and are applied to the extraction of alkaloids from herbal products. OBJECTIVE In this study, an innovative method of SC6A/SC8A assisted extraction of the alkaloids from herbs was established. METHODS SC6A and SC8A were designed to extract 27 alkaloids from seven herbal medicines. Based on the significant solubilisation and extraction effect, Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix (Fangji, FJ) was selected to obtain the optimal extraction process by adopting single factor test and orthogonal experiment. Then, the alkaloids and SC6A/SC8A were separated by one-step alkalisation and SCnA were reused. The host-guest complexes between alkaloids and SCnA were determined by competitive fluorescence titration, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR) analysis. RESULTS The optimum condition for SC6A assisted extraction was 5:1:80 (g/g/mL) for herbs/SC6A/solution ratio, 355-250 μm particle size and ultrasonicate 0.5 h, whilst 10:1:40 (g/g/mL) for herbs/SC8A/solution ratio, 355-250 μm particle size and ultrasonicate 0.5 h for SC8A assisted extraction. The total yield of alkaloids (fangchinoline and tetrandrine) from FJ was increased by 4.87 times and 5.97 times with SC6A and SC8A. Moreover, a good reusability of SC6A/SC8A was achieved by alkalisation dissociation. Host-guest complexes were determined by competitive fluorescence titration at a molar ratio of 1:1 between most alkaloids (25/27, except evodiamine and rutaecarpine) and SC6A/SC8A. The complex structure was proved by DSC, FTIR and 1 H-NMR analysis. CONCLUSION The study provided an effective eco-friendly and energy-saving extraction method of alkaloids from herbal medicine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Folium nelumbinis is used as vegetable, functional food and herbal medicine in Asia. p-Sulfonatocalix[6]arene (SC6A) is a water-soluble supramolecular macrocycle and has never been applied to the extraction of herbal products. OBJECTIVE In this study, SC6A-assisted extraction of nuciferine from Folium nelumbinis has been carried out to develop an eco-friendly extraction process with high extraction efficacy and easy operation. METHODS Single-factor experiments were adopted to obtain the optimal conditions for the SC6A-assisted extraction of nuciferine from Folium nelumbinis, and then nuciferine and SC6A were separated easily by one-step alkalization. The host-guest complexes between nuciferine and SC6A were analyzed by competitive fluorescence titration, DSC, FT-IR and 1 H-NMR. RESULTS The optimal SC6A/Folium nelumbinis/solution ratio for extraction was 0.4:1:20 (g/g/mL), with a granulometric fraction below 180 μm and an extraction time of 1 h with soaking. The purity and recovery of nuciferine extracted with SC6A were increased 29.24 and 35.73 times compared with extraction with aqueous solution, respectively. Moreover, a good reusability of SC6A in the extraction of nuciferine was demonstrated. Competitive fluorescence titration, DSC, FT-IR and 1 H-NMR characterization indicated that SC6A could form host-guest complexes with nuciferine at a ratio of 1:1. CONCLUSION The study provided an eco-friendly, safe and effective nuciferine extraction method, which can be used for the development of nutrition supplements containing nuciferine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study, p-sulfonatocalix[6]arenes (SCA6) was proposed to construct a host-guest complexation to carry mitoxantrone (MIT) to maintain its anti-proliferation effect on HepG2 cells as well as to attenuate cardiotoxicity on H9C2 cells as a nano-size drug delivery system. METHODS SCA6 binding to MIT evidenced through competitive fluorescence titration method. The complex was characterized using UV-visible, Fourier transform infrared, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopies and differential scanning calorimetry analysis. The cytotoxicity was examined by a cell counting kit-8 assay on six cells. High content analysis, cell apoptosis and cell cycle experiments were measured to investigate the mechanism of detoxification in H9C2. KEY FINDINGS The host-guest complexation was formed with a stoichiometry ratio of 1:1. Cytotoxicity study demonstrated that MIT/SCA6 complex could improve the cell viability on H9C2, MCF-7, A549, Hek293 and L02 cells and remained cytotoxicity effect on HepG2 cells. High content analysis showed that MIT/SCA6 complex could enhance the cell viability, mitochondrial mass and mitochondrial membrane potential and ameliorate the nuclear swelling on H9C2 cells. Moreover, the complex were arrested in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle and same with MIT, while the detoxication was attributed to reducing early apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS The host-guest complexation between SCA6 and MIT had the ability to attenuate cardiotoxicity and provided a potential strategy for the application of soluble calixarenes in chemotherapy.

Abstract
In this study, core-shell biopolymer nanoparticles were fabricated for the encapsulation and delivery of curcumin using a pH-driven method. The influences of the coating composition on the physicochemical properties and curcumin release characteristics of the core-shell nanoparticles were studied. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that curcumin was encapsulated in an amorphous state inside the nanoparticles. Particle size and ζ-potential measurements indicated that the biopolymer nanoparticles were relatively stable under different environmental conditions: long term storage, heating, pH changes and salt. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the curcumin was increased after encapsulation within the nanoparticles, whereas the gastrointestinal release of curcumin was prolonged. These results were attributed to the ability of alginate and NaCas to form a thick layer around the nanoparticles, which increased the steric and electrostatic repulsion between them, as well as inhibiting the release of curcumin.

A supramolecular complex of hydrazide-pillar[5]arene and bisdemethoxycurcumin with potential anti-cancer activity. Bioorg Chem 2021; 110:104764. [PMID: 33657507 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.104764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2020] [Revised: 01/21/2021] [Accepted: 02/20/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Pillar[5]arene complexes of the naturally occurring compound bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) were acquired for improving the water solubility and stability of BDMC. As a family member of curcuminoid compounds, BDMC has many interesting therapeutic properties. However, its low aqueous solubility and stability resulted in poor availability and restricted the clinical efficacy. Pillar[5]arenes with hydrophilic ends and a hydrophobic cavity could include with BDMC based on size matching. The synthesized hydrazide-pillar[5]arene (HP5A) and BDMC had a strong host-guest interaction with a 1:1 binding stoichiometry. Furthermore, the HP5A ⊃ BDMC complex could self-assemble into well-defined fibers in water/ethanol solution. This supramolecular complex worked well in vitro for inhibiting the proliferation of hepatoma carcinoma cells HepG2. Remarkably, this method of complexation with pillar[5]arenes visibly reduced the undesirable side effects on normal cells without weakening the anti-cancer activity of the drugs. We expected that the obtained host-guest complex and fibrous assembly would provide a promising platform for delivering drugs with low water solubility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the current study, we have investigated the effect of each of curcumin (CUR) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) either separate or mixed together (CUR + SMX) on biochemical, hematological and histological alternations associated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis in mice. RESULTS CCl4, caused changes of several biomarkers, proving its hepatotoxic effects, such as an increase in aminotransferases liver enzymes alanine and aspartate transaminases (ALT, AST), malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO) formation, with a decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GSSG), total antioxidant capacity (TAO), glutathione (GSH), total protein, and albumin, compared to a negative control mice group. Compared to the CCl4 group of mice, the CUR and SMX separate and/or together (CUR + SMX) treatments showed significance in (p < 0.001), ameliorated liver injury (characterized by an elevation of (ALT, AST) and a decrease (p < 0.001) in serum albumin and total protein), antioxidant (characterized by a decrease in (p < 0.001) MDA, NO; an increase (p < 0.001) SOD, GSSG, TAO; and reducing GSH), hematological changes (characterized by a decrease (p < 0.001) in white blood cells count and an increase (p < 0.001) in platelets count, hematocrit levels, hemoglobin concentration, and (p < 0.05) red blood cells count), SDS-PAGE electrophoresis with a decrease in protein synthesis and changes in histological examinations. CONCLUSIONS CUR and SMX either separate or together (SUR + SMX) may be considered promising candidates in the prevention and treatment of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Naringenin is considered as an important flavonoid in phytochemistry because of its important effect on cancer chemoprevention. Unfortunately its poor solubility has restricted its therapeutic applications. In this study, an efficient water-soluble fluorescent calix[4]arene (compound 5) was synthesized as host macromolecule to increase solubility and cytotoxicity in cancer cells of water-insoluble naringenin as well as to clarify localization of naringenin into the cells. Complex formed by host-guest interaction between compound 5 and naringenin was analyzed with UV-visible, fluorescence, FTIR spectroscopic techniques and molecular modeling studies. Stern-Volmer analysis showed binding constant value of Ksv 3.5 × 107 M-1 suggesting strong interaction between host and guest. Binding capacity shows 77% of naringenin was loaded on compound 5. Anticarcinogenic effects of naringenin complex were evaluated on human colorectal carcinoma cells (DLD-1) and it was found that 5-naringenin complex inhibits proliferation of DLD-1 cells 3.4-fold more compared to free naringenin. Fluorescence imaging studies show 5-naringenin complex was accumulated into the cytoplasm instead of the nucleus. Increased solubility and cytotoxicity of naringenin with fluorescent calix[4]arene makes it one of the potential candidates as a therapeutic enhancer. For deep understanding of host-guest interaction mechanisms, complementary multiscale molecular modeling studies were also carried out.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
