Abstract
BACKGROUND A big health issue facing the world's population is cancer. An alarming increase in cancer patients was anticipated by worldwide demographic statistics, which showed that the number of patients with different malignancies was rapidly increasing. By 2025, probably 420 million cases were projected to be achieved. The most common cancers diagnosed are breast, colorectal, prostate, and lung. Conventional treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, have been practiced. OBJECTIVE In recent years, the area of cancer therapy has changed dramatically with expanded studies on the molecular-level detection and treatment of cancer. Recent advances in cancer research have seen significant advances in therapies such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy, although both have limitations in effectiveness and toxicity. METHODS The development of nanotechnology for anticancer drug delivery has developed several potentials as nanocarriers, which may boost the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of the drug product and substantially reduce the side effects. RESULTS The advancement in non-viral to viral-based protein-based nanocarriers for treating cancer has earned further recognition in this respect. Many scientific breakthroughs have relied on protein-based nanocarriers, and proteins are essential organic macromolecules for life. It allows targeted delivery of passive or active tumors using non-viral-based protein-based nanocarriers to viral-based protein nanocarriers. When targeting cancer cells, both animal and plant proteins may be used in a formulation process to create self-assembled viruses and platforms that can successfully eradicate metastatic cancer cells. CONCLUSION This review, therefore, explores in depth the applications of non-viral to viral proteinbased noncarriers with a specific focus on intracellular drug delivery and anti-cancer drug targeting ability.

Abstract
Buccal drug-delivery systems present a promising approach for the drug delivery to the buccal mucosa, addressing oral cavity-specific problems, enabling systemic delivery and minimizing adverse effects on biological systems. Numerous strategies have been proposed to load drug-containing nanoparticles (NPs) to the buccal mucosa for local and systemic applications. There has been considerable interest in the development of mucoadhesive buccal formulations, particularly hydrogel composites utilizing mucoadhesive films incorporating NPs. Drug permeability and controlled drug release through buccal drug delivery continues to pose a challenge despite the availability of various remedies. This review highlights the need for, mechanisms and latest advances in NP-based transbuccal drug delivery with a focus on various pathological disorders and examples and limitations of the different methods.

Abstract
Hybrid nanoparticles made up of zein and various stabilizers were developed and characterized. In detail, a zein concentration of 2 mg/ml was blended with various amounts of different phospholipids or PEG-derivatives in order to obtain formulations with suitable physico-chemical properties for drug delivery purposes. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was used as a model of a hydrophilic compound and its entrapment efficiency, release profile and cytotoxic activity were investigated. Photon correlation spectroscopy showed that the best formulations were obtained using DMPG, DOTAP and DSPE-mPEG2000 as stabilizers of zein nanoparticles, which were characterized by an average diameter of ~100 nm, a narrow size distribution and a significant time- and temperature-dependent stability. The interaction between protein and stabilizers was confirmed through FT-IR analysis, while TEM analysis showed the presence of a shell-like structure around the zein core. The release profiles of the drug from the zein/DSPE-mPEG2000 nanosystems, evaluated at two pHs (5.5 and 7.4), showed a prolonged and constant leakage of the drug. The encapsulation of DOX within zein/DSPE-mPEG2000 nanosystems did not compromise its biological efficacy, demonstrating the potential application of these hybrid nanoparticles as drug carriers.

Berberine-loaded zein/hyaluronic acid composite nanoparticles for efficient brain uptake to alleviate neuro-degeneration in the pilocarpine model of epilepsy. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2023:S0939-6411(23)00088-7.

Abstract
Berberine hydrochloride is a plant alkaloid with versatile medicinal applications, yet it has suffered from multiple limitations in its usage. Nonetheless, the acknowledged role of berberine in controlling seizures has fuelled the need to develop a nanosystem capable of delivering it safely and efficiently to the brain. Consequently, zein and hyaluronic acid were chosen for this purpose, and about twenty formulations with different preliminary factors were screened. Afterward, three promising formulations were loaded with berberine and characterized to select an optimum formulation for further in vivo inspection. The B2 formula of particle size of 297.2 nm ± 1.86 and % entrapment efficiency of 83.75% ± 1.39 has succeeded in the increment of the brain uptake of berberine. Moreover, compared to free berberine suspension, the severity of pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus in rats was depleted after the subcutaneous administration of B2. The hippocampal tissue of rats receiving B2 showed signs of reduced neuro-degeneration, remarkably lower expression levels of COX-2 and TNF-α, and enhanced antioxidant activity. Finally, the relative safety of the developed system was determined after searching for any sign of intoxication or behavioral changes. In conclusion, the developed berberine loaded composite nanoparticles successfully delivered berberine across the BBB securely to ameliorate the deteriorating impact of pilocarpine-induced epilepsy.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the most aggressive malignant tumor with difficulty in early diagnosis, very short survival time in advanced stage, and lack of effective treatment options. In this work, a novel combination chemotherapy strategy based on bioactive black phosphorus (BP) and gemcitabine (GEM) is developed for efficient treatment of pancreatic cancer. The combined cell cycle blockage in G2/M phase induced by BP and G0/G1 phase by GEM results in synergistic killing of pancreatic cancer cells with the combination index (CI) < 1. The iRGD modified zein nanoparticles co-loaded with BP quantum dots (BPQDs) and GEM are designed and prepared as a targeted nanoplatform (BP-GEM@NPs). After intravenous injection, the in vivo distribution and pharmacokinetics results demonstrate that BP-GEM@NPs shows excellent tumor targeting capability and significantly prolonged blood circulation time. The targeted co-delivery of BPQDs and GEM induces much more pancreatic tumor cell apoptosis and synergistically inhibits tumor growth in both subcutaneous xenograft and orthotopic models. Meanwhile, BP-GEM@NPs exhibit good biocompatibility without bring adverse effects. This work indicates the great potential of BP-GEM@NPs as a combination chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer and provides insights into development of biomedicine by exploring the intrinsic bioactivities of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Zein is a type of prolamine protein that is derived from corn, and it has been recognized by the US FDA as one of the safest biological materials available. Zein possesses valuable characteristics that have made it a popular choice for the preparation of drug carriers, which can be administered through various routes to improve the therapeutic effect of antitumor drugs. Additionally, zein contains free hydroxyl and amino groups that offer numerous modification sites, enabling it to be hybridized with other materials to create functionalized drug delivery systems. However, despite its potential, the clinical translation of drug-loaded zein-based carriers remains challenging due to insufficient basic research and relatively strong hydrophobicity. In this paper, we aim to systematically introduce the main interactions between loaded drugs and zein, administration routes, and the functionalization of zein-based antitumor drug delivery systems, in order to demonstrate its development potential and promote their further application. We also provide perspectives and future directions for this promising area of research.

Abstract
Polymeric micelle is a promising vehicle to improve the bioavailability and clinical outcomes of paclitaxel (PTX) which has been proven effective in the treatment of a wide range of cancers. However, conventional PTX formulation with the amphiphilic PEG-b-PLA usually suffers from insufficient PTX loading, low stability of PTX-micelles, and rapid PTX release due to low compatibility between PTX and PLA, limiting its clinical application. In this study, a novel nanoparticle platform was developed to improve the stability of PTX-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) and the delivery efficacy of PTX by integrating the flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) technique and a combination of amphiphilic PEG-PLA and super hydrophobic zein. The incorporation of zein led to the formation of distinct hydrophobic interiors of NPs which enhanced the interaction between PTX and NPs, therefore improving the encapsulation efficiency of PTX and sustained drug release compared with PEG-PLA micelles without zein. In addition, FNP allowed facile fabrication of PTX-NPs with smaller sizes and higher stability. These PTX-NPs showed superior sustained release of PTX and good cancer cell-killing in vitro. Among them, PTX-5k-16k-1Z NPs exhibited excellent biosafety and anti-tumor efficacy in a xenograft tumor model in mice, suggesting great potential in the delivery of hydrophobic drugs for cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this study, curcumin (Cur)-loaded chondroitin sulfate (CS)-sodium caseinate (NaCas)-stabilized foxtail millet prolamin (FP) composite nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated via a one-pot process. FP is capable of self-assembly via liquid antisolvent precipitation under neutral and alkaline conditions (pH 7.0-11.0). Under this condition, the microstructures of hydrophobic FP cores, amphiphilic NaCas and hydrophilic CS shells were fabricated readily by a one-pot method. With an optimal FP/NaCas/CS weight ratio of 3 : 2 : 4, FP-NaCas-CS NPs shared globular microstructures at about 145 nm, and hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic forces, and hydrogen bonds were the main driving forces for the formation and maintenance of stable FP-NaCas-CS NPs. CS coating enhanced the pH stability but reduced the ionic strength stability. The formed NPs were stable over a wide pH range from 2.0 to 8.0 and elevated salt concentrations from 0 to 3 mol L-1 NaCl. FP-NaCas-CS NPs exhibited a higher Cur encapsulation efficiency of 93.4% and re-dispersion capability after lyophilization. Moreover, CS coating promoted selective accumulation in CD44-overexpressing HepG2 cells, resulting in higher inhibition of tumor growth compared to free Cur and FP-NaCas NP-encapsulated Cur. As for comparison, encapsulated Cur exhibited reduced cytotoxicity on normal liver cells L-O2. This preclinical study suggests that FP-NaCas-CS NPs could be very beneficial in terms of encapsulating hydrophobic drugs, improving the effectiveness of cancer therapies and reducing side effects on normal tissues.

Abstract
In this work, we developed polysialic acid (PSA) modified zein nanoparticles for targeted delivery of honokiol (HNK) to enhance drug delivery efficiency and specific biodistribution at tumor sites. The antisolvent precipitation and electrostatic interaction methods were employed to fabricate the PSA-Zein-HNK nanoparticles, which exhibited mean size of 107.2 ± 10.1 nm and HNK encapsulation efficiency of 79.2 ± 2.3%. The PSA-Zein-HNK maintained a uniform dispersion in serum for 48 h, implying the improved colloid stability of zein nanoparticles via PSA coating. The cellular uptake of PSA-Zein-Cou6 nanoparticles in 4 T1 cells was 2.58-fold higher than non-targeting Zein-Cou6. In addition, the IC50 value at 48 h for PSA-Zein-HNK (4.37 μg/mL) was significantly higher than the Zein-HNK (7.74 μg/mL). Enhanced tumor accumulation of the PSA-Zein-HNK was confirmed in 4 T1 breast cancer-bearing mice by near-infrared fluorescence imaging, resulting in desirable antitumor efficacy and favorable biosafety. Besides, compared with non-targeting zein nanoparticles, the PSA-Zein-HNK achieved a higher tumor growth inhibition rate of 52.3%. In particular, the metastasis of breast cancer to the lung or liver was remarkably suppressed by PSA-Zein-HNK. Together, our results demonstrated that the PSA-Zein-HNK could be a potential tumor-targeted drug delivery strategy for efficient treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Biobased and biodegradable films were prepared by physically mixing 2,3-dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) with two other biopolymers, zein and gelatin, in three different proportions. The antimicrobial activities of the composite blends against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria increase with the increase of DAC content. Cell viability tests on mammalian cells showed that the materials were not cytotoxic. In addition, DAC and gelatin were able to promote thermal degradation of the blends. However, DAC increased the stiffness and decreased the glass transition temperature of the blends, while gelatin was able to decrease the stiffness of the film. Morphological analysis showed the effect of DAC on the surface smoothness of the blends. The contact angle confirmed that all blends were within the range of hydrophilic materials. Although all the blends showed impressive performance for wound dressing application, the blend with gelatin might be more suitable for this purpose due to its better mechanical performance and antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Oil bodies (OBs), which are found mainly in the seeds or nuts of oleaginous plants, are spherical droplets with a triacylglycerol core covered by phospholipid-protein layer. Oil body protein extracts (OBPEs), mainly oleosins, contribute to the unique physicochemical stability of OBs. The application of OBPEs in aqueous environment has been greatly limited by their highly hydrophobic structures. In this study, OBPEs were successfully extracted from peanut seeds and their profiles were characterized by LC-MS/MS. OBPEs nanoparticles were successfully assembled in aqueous environment for the first time using the antisolvent precipitation method. The mean diameter of OBPEs nanoparticles was 215.6 ± 1.8 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.238 ± 0.005. The morphology of these colloidal particles was found to be roughly spherical shape as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsions with good stability against coalescence could be formed at protein concentration as low as 0.1 mg/mL. Cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM) confirmed that spherical nanoparticles were packed at the oil-water interface. This research will greatly expand the applications of OBPEs in structuring the interfaces and developing novel formulations in the food and pharmaceutical fields.

Properties and Applications of Nanoparticles from Plant Proteins. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14133607. [PMID: 34203348 PMCID: PMC8269707 DOI: 10.3390/ma14133607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Revised: 06/12/2021] [Accepted: 06/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Nanoparticles from plant proteins are preferred over carbohydrates and synthetic polymeric-based materials for food, medical and other applications. In addition to their large availability and relatively low cost, plant proteins offer higher possibilities for surface modifications and functionalizing various biomolecules for specific applications. Plant proteins also avoid the immunogenic responses associated with the use of animal proteins. However, the sources of plant proteins are very diverse, and proteins from each source have distinct structures, properties and processing requirements. While proteins from corn (zein) and wheat (gliadin) are soluble in aqueous ethanol, most other plant proteins are insoluble in aqueous conditions. Apart from zein and gliadin nanoparticles (which are relatively easy to prepare), soy proteins, wheat glutenin and proteins from several legumes have been made into nanoparticles. The extraction of soluble proteins, hydrolyzing with alkali and acids, conjugation with other biopolymers, and newer techniques such as microfluidization and electrospraying have been adopted to develop plant protein nanoparticles. Solid, hollow, and core-shell nanoparticles with varying sizes and physical and chemical properties have been developed. Most plant protein nanoparticles have been used as carriers for drugs and as biomolecules for controlled release applications and for stabilizing food emulsions. This review provides an overview of the approaches used to prepare nanoparticles from plant proteins, and their properties and potential applications. The review's specific focus is on the preparation methods and applications, rather than the properties of the proteins, which have been reported in detail in other publications.

Enhanced Stability of Indocyanine Green by Encapsulation in Zein-Phosphatidylcholine Hybrid Nanoparticles for Use in the Phototherapy of Cancer. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13030305. [PMID: 33652884 PMCID: PMC7996753 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13030305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Revised: 02/13/2021] [Accepted: 02/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) is a clinically approved near-infrared dye that has shown promise as a photosensitizer for the phototherapy of cancer. However, its chemical instability in an aqueous solution has limited its clinical application. Encapsulating ICG in liposomes, phosphatidylcholine nanoparticles (PC-NP), has shown partial effectiveness in stabilizing it. Prompted by our recent finding that the zein-phosphatidylcholine hybrid nanoparticles (Z/PC-NP) provide an advanced drug carrier compared to PC-NP, we herein investigated the potential of Z/PC-NP as an improved ICG formulation. Dynamic light scattering analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy studies showed that ICG was encapsulated in Z/PC-NP without hampering the high colloidal stability of the Z/PC-NP. During storage, the Z/PC-NP almost completely inhibited the ICG aggregation, whereas the PC-NP did so partially. The Z/PC-NP also more effectively blocked the ICG degradation compared to the PC-NP. The phototoxicity of ICG encapsulated in Z/PC-NP on cancer cells was twofold higher than that in the PC-NP. The ICG encapsulated in Z/PC-NP, but not in PC-NP, maintained its photocytotoxicity after four-day storage. These findings highlight the promising potential of Z/PC-NP as an ICG formulation that provides a higher stabilization effect than PC-NP.

Abstract
With the rapid development of biology and nanotechnology, designing nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like activities has attracted huge attention in recent years. Herein, for the first time, we use zein as a new protein precursor to prepare N-rich carbonized zein nanosheets (C-Zein) via facile pyrolysis. Zein is an inert, biodegradable and sustainable natural biopolymer. After high-temperature carbonization, zein can be converted into highly catalytically active C-Zein, which can possess excellent peroxidase- and oxidase-like catalytic activities. Such intrinsic enzyme-like activities of C-Zein are closely related to its graphitization degree, the ratio of graphitic nitrogen and the formation of disordered graphene. Intriguingly, C-Zein also exhibits high photothermal conversion efficiency in the near-infrared (NIR) region. Coupling their unique photothermal and catalytic properties, the as-prepared C-Zein can act as a robust agent for synergistic photothermal-catalytic cancer treatment under the irradiation of NIR light. We expect that this work paves the way to use zein for designing efficient artificial enzymes and accelerate further growth in exploring its new biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Chondroitin sulfate-hybridized zein nanoparticles (zein/CS NPs) were developed for targeted delivery of docetaxel, which exhibited mean diameters of 157.8 ± 3.6 nm and docetaxel encapsulation efficiency of 64.2 ± 1.9 %. Docetaxel was released from the NPs in a sustained manner (∼72 h), following first-order kinetics. The zein/CS NPs showed improved colloidal stability, maintaining the initial size in serum for 12 h. The pre-treatment of CS reduced the uptake efficiency of the NPs by 23 % in PC-3 cells, suggesting the involvement of CD44-mediated uptake mechanism. The NPs showed 2.79-fold lower IC50 values than free docetaxel. Enhanced tumor accumulation of the NPs was confirmed in PC-3 xenograft mice by near-infrared fluorescence imaging (35.3-fold, versus free Cy5.5). The NPs exhibited improved pharmacokinetic properties (9.5-fold longer terminal half-life, versus free docetaxel) and anti-tumor efficacy comparable to Taxotere with negligible systemic toxicity, suggesting zein/CS NPs could be a promising nanoplatform for targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have been extensively used as carriers for the delivery of chemicals and biomolecular drugs, such as anticancer drugs and therapeutic proteins. Natural biomolecules, such as proteins, are an attractive alternative to synthetic polymers commonly used in nanoparticle formulation because of their safety. In general, protein nanoparticles offer many advantages, such as biocompatibility and biodegradability. Moreover, the preparation of protein nanoparticles and the corresponding encapsulation process involved mild conditions without the use of toxic chemicals or organic solvents. Protein nanoparticles can be generated using proteins, such as fibroins, albumin, gelatin, gliadine, legumin, 30Kc19, lipoprotein, and ferritin proteins, and are prepared through emulsion, electrospray, and desolvation methods. This review introduces the proteins used and methods used in generating protein nanoparticles and compares the corresponding advantages and disadvantages of each.

Abstract
Cancer has thwarted as a major health problem affecting the global population. With an alarming increase in the patient population suffering from diverse varieties of cancers, the global demographic data predicts sharp escalation in the number of cancer patients. This can be expected to reach 420 million cases by 2025. Among the diverse types of cancers, the most frequently diagnosed cancers are the breast, colorectal, prostate and lung cancer. From years, conventional treatment approaches like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been practiced. In the past few years, increasing research on molecular level diagnosis and treatment of cancers have significantly changed the realm of cancer treatment. Lately, uses of advanced chemotherapy and immunotherapy like treatments have gained significant progress in the cancer therapy, but these approaches have several limitations on their safety and toxicity. This has generated lot of momentum for the evolution of new drug delivery approaches for the effective delivery of anticancer therapeutics, which may improve the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effect of the drugs along with significant reduction in the side effects. In this regard, the protein-based nano-medicines have gained wider attention in the management of cancer. Proteins are organic macromolecules essential, for life and have quite well explored in developing the nano-carriers. Furthermore, it provides passive or active tumour cell targeted delivery, by using protein based nanovesicles or virus like structures, antibody drug conjugates, viral particles, etc. Moreover, by utilizing various formulation strategies, both the animal and plant derived proteins can be converted to produce self-assembled virus like nano-metric structures with high efficiency in targeting the metastatic cancer cells. Therefore, the present review extensively discusses the applications of protein-based nano-medicine with special emphasis on intracellular delivery/drug targeting ability for anticancer drugs.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the active targeted delivery of a hydrophobic drug, paclitaxel (PTX), via receptor-mediated endocytosis by folate receptors expressed on cancer cells using a protein-based nanoparticle system. PTX was loaded on zein nanoparticles and conjugated with folate (PTX/Zein-FA) to estimate its chemotherapeutic efficacy in folate receptor-expressing KB cancer cells. PTX/Zein-FA nanoparticles were successfully developed, with a nanoparticle size of ~180 nm and narrow polydispersity index (~0.22). Accelerated release of PTX in an acidic environment was observed for PTX/Zein-FA. An in vitro cellular study of PTX/Zein-FAs in KB cells suggested that PTX/Zein-FA improved the cytotoxic activity of PTX on folate receptors overexpressed in cancer cells by inducing proapoptotic proteins and inhibiting anti-apoptotic proteins. In addition, PTX/Zein-FA exhibited anti-migratory properties and could alter the cell cycle profile of KB cells. A549 cells, which are folate receptor-negative cancer cells, showed no significant enhancement in the in vitro cellular activities of PTX/Zein-FA. We describe the antitumor efficacy of PTX/Zein-FA in KB tumor-bearing mice with minimum toxicity in healthy organs, and the results were confirmed in comparison with free drug and non-targeted nanoparticles.

Abstract
The self-assembled natural and synthetic polymers are booming. However, natural polymers obtained from native or modified carbohydrate polymers (CPs), such as celluloses, chitosan, glucans, gums, pectins, and starches, have had special attention as raw material in the manufacture of self-assembled polymer composite materials having several forms: films, hydrogels, micelles, and particles. The easy manipulation of the architecture of the CPs, as well as their high availability in nature, low cost, and being sustainable and green polymers have been the main positive points in the use of them for different applications. CPs have been used as building blocks for composite structures, and their easy orientation and ordering has given rise to self-assembled CPs (SCPs). These macromolecules have been little studied for food applications. Nonetheless, their research has grown mainly in the last 5 years as encapsulated food additive wall materials, food coatings, and edible films. The multifaceted properties (systems sensitive to pH, temperature, ionic strength, types of ions, mechanical force, and enzymes) of these devices are leading to the development of advanced food materials. This review article focused on the analysis of SCPs for food applications in order to encourage other research groups for their preparation and implementation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cellulose being the first abundant biopolymers in nature has many fascinating properties, including low-cost, good biodegradability, and excellent biocompatibility, which made cellulose a real potential material to create nano-drug delivery systems (nano-DDS). This review aims to present and discuss some remarkable recent advances on the drug delivery applications of cellulosebased prodrugs and nanoparticles. METHODS By searching the research literatures over last decade, a variety featured studies on cellulosebased nano-DDS were summarized and divided into prodrugs, prodrug nanoparticles, solid or derivative nanopartilces, amphiphilic copolymer nanoparticles, and polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles. Various methods employed for the functionalization, pharmacodynamic actions and applications were described and discussed. RESULTS Many types of cellulose-based nano-DDS can ensure efficient encapsulation of various drugs and then overcome the free drug molecule shortcomings. Among all the method described, cellulosebased amphiphilic nanoparticles are most frequently used. These formulations have the higher drug loading capability, a simple and flexible way to achieve multi-functional. Apart from hydrophilic or hydrophobic modification, cellulose or its derivatives can form nanoparticles with different small molecules and macromolecules, leading to a large spectrum of cellulose-based nano-DDS and providing some unexpected advantages. CONCLUSION Thorough physicochemical characterization and profound understanding of interactions of the cellulose-based nano-DDS with cells and tissues is indispensable. Moreover, studies toward technics parameter optimization and scale up from the laboratory to production level should be undertaken. The development of intravenous and orally applicable cellulose-based nano-DDS will be an important research area, and these systems will have more commercial status in the market.

Abstract
Curcumin possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other properties. However, this compound exhibits low bioavailability because of its poor solubility and stability. In this paper, lysozyme nanoparticles were fabricated through solvent evaporation, and then, the solubilization and protection capability of curcumin were investigated. Lysozyme nanoparticles were characterized by dynamic light scattering technique, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The load capacity and stability in thermal environment were further explored. Results showed that the lysozyme nanoparticle displayed a spherical structure (127.9 ± 2.12 nm) with favorable distribution. The solubility of curcumin can increase to 22 μg/mL. After encapsulation by lysozyme nanoparticles, the retentive curcumin can reach up to 67.9% and 30.25% at 25°C and 50°C, respectively, significantly higher than that of free curcumin. Meanwhile, experiments on DPPH free radicals indicated the curcumin loaded by lysozyme nanoparticle possessed higher free radical scavenging activity than that of free curcumin with same treatments. The results confirmed that lysozyme nanoparticles exhibit potential applications in solubilizing and protecting the environment-sensitive hydrophobic functional components.

Abstract
Protein-based nanoparticles (NPs) with favorable properties including enhanced absorptivity and low toxicity still suffer a major challenge for rapid nutraceutical or drug release after oral administration. Hence, we introduced a secondary encapsulation for unstable factor to attain a controlled-release effect in a gastrointestinal environment. In this work, assembled nanoparticles engineered by nobiletin (NOB), zein, and tannin acid (TA) were first reported for drug delivery systems. The TA added was capable of obtaining further assembly to stabilize nobiletin in comparison with NOB-loaded zein NPs only. Sunflower pollens (SPGs) were selected as carriers for further oral delivery, while zein was chosen as a coating material for capping SPGs absolutely. As a result, the NOB/zein/TA NPs (NZT NPs) obtained had a stable size of 100 nm after 48 h. Besides, they could improve the chemical stability of NOB for at least 120 days at 4 °C compared with zein NPs (ZT NPs). Owing to the secondary capping by SPGs, the final system was able to release selectively via an oral route, that is, achieving no release in a gastric environment and slow release in an intestine environment. Generally, our research proposed a secondary protection model to prevent drug-loaded NPs from resolving after oral administration, which provided a new perspective for nutraceutical or drug encapsulation and controlled-release delivery.

Abstract
Purpose: Hydrophobic nutraceuticals are suffering from water solubility and physicochemical stabilities once administered to the body or food matrixes. The present study depicts the successful formulation of a zein-carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) complex to stabilize a water in oil (W/O) emulsion to protect them from environmental and gastrointestinal conditions. The formulated water in oil in water (W/O/W) system was used for nanoencapsulating of hydrophobic nutraceutical, rutin, via protein-polysaccharide complexes. Methods: Zein nano particles smaller than 100 nm were produced using poly ethylene glycol (PEG 400) and Tween 80, which eliminates the use of ethanolic solutions in preparation of zein nanoparticles (ZN). CMC was then added to the ZN under magnetic stirrer to provide zein-CMC complex. A concentration of 20% CMC showed the smallest particle size (<100 nm). Rutin was dispersed in water in oil in water (W/O/W) emulsion stabilized by zein-CMC complex. A set of experiments such as encapsulation efficiency (EE%), encapsulation stability (ES%), and releasing rate of rutin were measured during 30 days of storage at 4°C. Results: Results showed that, produced multiple emulsion prepared with lower concentrations of Tween 80 (0.5%), ethanol: PEG: water ratio of 0:80:20 showed smaller size (89.8±4.2 nm). ES% at pH values of 1.2, 6.8, and 7.4 were 86.63±6.19, 91.54±3.89, and 97.13±2.39 respectively, indicating high pH tolerability of formulated W/O/W emulsions. Conclusion: These findings could pave a new approach in stabilizing W/O/W emulsions for encapsulating and controlling the release of water insoluble nutraceuticals/drugs.

Abstract
Nanogels (NGs) with desirable stability have emerged as a promising platform for biomedical applications. Herein, a convenient approach was developed to encapsulate and protect tea polyphenols (TPs) by macromolecular self-assembly of lysozyme (Ly) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) through a heating treatment. Biodegradable Ly–CMC NGs were formed on the basis of molecules driven by electrostatic interaction and hydrophobic forces. The particle size and morphology of the Ly–CMC NGs were analyzed using a Malvern particle size analyzer, fluorescence spectrophotometer, and scanning electron microscope. The results showed that the heated NGs were spherical with better stability and smaller particle size. The encapsulation efficiency of TP-loaded NGs was 89.05 ± 3.14%, and it indicated that the Ly–CMC NGs may have a strong binding force with TPs. Moreover, TP-loaded NGs showed a sustained release feature. The DPPH and ABTS-scavenging rates of the TP-loaded NGs were 76.5% and 86.1%, respectively. The antitumor activity of the TP-loaded NGs can effectively inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells. Furthermore, TP-loaded NGs were proven to significantly enhance the induction of apoptosis in hepatoma cells and exhibit obvious cell cycle arrest. Our results demonstrate that the Ly–CMC NGs have extensive application prospects as a biocompatible and biodegradable delivery carrier of food functional factors to improve their antitumor effects.

Abstract
In this work, we use antisolvent precipitation to prepare zein/carboxymethylated short-chain amylose (CSA) complex nanoparticles for insulin encapsulation, showing that insulin-loaded zein/CSA complex nanoparticles are homogeneous, generally exhibiting sizes of <200 nm with a narrow distribution (polydispersity index < 0.100), spherical shape, and strong negative charge (-40 mV). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis reveals that the formation of the above nanoparticles is mainly driven by hydrophobic, hydrogen-bonding, and electrostatic interactions between CSA, insulin, and zein. In comparison to zein nanoparticles, zein/CSA complex nanoparticles feature much higher insulin encapsulation efficiency (45.8 versus 90.5%, respectively) and are essentially nontoxic to Caco-2 cells. Thus, this work provides new insights into the design of drug delivery systems and is expected to inspire their further development.

Abstract
Liposome, phosphatidylcholine nanoparticle (PC-NP), is an attractive colloidal carrier of hydrophobic drugs but its clinical development is often limited by low drug-loading capacity and the physical instability. Zein is a water-insoluble amphiphilic protein obtained from the corn. We herein investigated a possibility to develop zein-phosphatidylcholine hybrid nanoparticle (Z/PC-NP) as an advanced hydrophobic drug carrier. By employing the conventional liposome preparation method with the addition of zein, Z/PC-NP were produced. The extent of zein incorporation in PC-NP was affected by PC composition. DSC demonstrated the lowered phase transition temperature of PC by zein and FTIR showed the appearance of weakened but clear amide bonds of zein as well as increased levels of heterogeneous hydrogen bonding of Z/PC-NP compared to PC-NP. DLS, TEM and cryo-TEM studies suggested Z/PC-NP to be spherical nanoparticles composed of a zein core and a zein-PC hybrid shell. Z/PC-NP exhibited a higher loading capacity for hydrophobic model drugs (paclitaxel, docetaxel, celecoxib and curcumin), than did the zein nanoparticle and PC-NP, while exhibiting an intermediate drug release rate. The serum stability and the storage stability of Z/PC-NP were greater than those of PC-NP. Zein functioned as a cryoprotectant of PC-NP during freeze-drying. Z/PC-NP may provide a promising nanoparticle carrier of hydrophobic drugs.

Abstract
In this study, zein nanoparticles (NPs) with novel multifunctional coatings based on oxidative coupling assembly of polyphenols were synthesized for the first time. This coating was formed by oxidative self-polymerization of the organic ligands (polyphenols) in an alkaline condition, which could be biodegraded by acidic pH, as a result, impacting the pH-responsive property of the system. More importantly, the high level of intracellular glutathione (GSH) could induce the biodegradation of the polyphenol coatings, resulting in a fast release of trapped anticancer drugs in the cells. Based on confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and cytotoxicity experiments, drug-loaded and polyphenol-coated zein NPs were shown to possess highly efficient internalization and an apparent cytotoxic effect on HeLa cells. Notably, the CLSM observation illustrated that coated zein NPs showed delayed drug release compared with free drug or DOX-loaded zein NPs without coatings, resulting from the pH-responsive release of loaded drug in the extra/intracellular environment. Additionally, the short-time cytotoxicity and morphology observation also confirmed the delayed drug release behavior of coated NPs. These highly biocompatible and biodegradable polyphenol-coated zein NPs may be promising vectors in the field of controlled-release biomedical applications and cancer therapy.

Abstract
Lots of active substances are hydrophobic materials at ambient and body temperatures, decreasing their bioavailability and posing great challenges to successful incorporation into medication and functional foods. The goal of this research was to develop a nanoemulsion delivery system containing a hydrophobic crystalline bioactive component (nobiletin) to improve the anti-inflammatory activity. Nobiletin was incorporated into the oily phase, and the nanoemulsions were fabricated using high-speed and high-pressure homogenization. Particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential were evaluated by a commercial laser light scattering instrument. The anti-inflammatory activities were performed in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The developed nobiletin nanoemulsion had an average droplet size of 168.6 ± 3.8 nm and a PDI of 0.168, while the average diameter of the blank nanoemulsion was 157.3 ± 1.9 nm and its PDI was 0.161. The zeta potential values of nobiletin nanoemulsion and blank nanoemulsion were -68.45 ± 0.64 and -62.75 ± 0.21 mV, respectively. All obtained nanoemulsions kept physically stable during storage at 4, 25, and 37 °C. A nobiletin-loaded nanoemulsion showed an enhanced anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-induced macrophages, with a decrease in pro-inflammatory mediators and cytokines. The findings suggested that the nanoemulsion would be used as an effective delivery system for nobiletin to improve its anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract
In this study, well-defined folate (FA)-functionalized low density lipoproteins (LDL)/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) nanoparticles (NP) were first formulated, utilized in tumor targeting and pH-triggered drug release. CMC was modified with FA before the preparation of NP. A model anti-tumor drug, doxorubicin (DOX), was effectively loaded into the LDL/CMC-FA NP by ionic bonding and hydrophobic interactions. To enhance non-covalent encapsulation stability, self-assembly of DOX-loaded LDL/CMC-FA NP (NP-DOX) was cross-linked by multivalent cations such as Ca2+ (Ca2+-NP-DOX). The active targeting efficiency of NP-DOX and Ca2+-NP-DOX was tested against KB cells (FA-receptor over-expressing cells, FR+) and A549 cells (FA-receptor negative-expressing cells, FR-), using FA non-modified DOX-loaded LDL/CMC NP (NG-DOX) as control. The competition assay proved that free FA molecules prevented the cellular uptake of the NP by competitive binding to the FA receptors on the surface of KB cells. This new pH-responsive and FA-targeted nanocarrier may be a promising efficient drug delivery system for potential cancer therapy.

Abstract
A pH-responsive system by constructing a designable coordination bonding-based metal-tannic acid (TA) architecture on zein nanoparticles (NPs) has been investigated. Film formation was initiated by the adsorption of the polyphenol and directed by pH-dependent, multivalent coordination bonding. The prepared metal-TA coated zein NPs (zein-TA/metal NPs) demonstrated good stability to maintain particle size in cell culture medium at 37 °C. The microstructure of the NPs was revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). To confirm the surface chemical information of the NPs, XPS analysis was performed. Furthermore, in vitro viability studies revealed that the zein-TA/metal NPs showed no significant cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells for 24h. Because of the pH-responsive coordination bonding between TA and metal ions, the functional property of the metal-TA films was tailored for drug delivery. Biocompatible AuNPs were produced using zein-TA/metal NPs as reducing and stabilizing agents which were promising in the photothermal therapy of cancers and other diseases.
