Abstract
The degradation of peptide drugs limits the application of peptide drug microspheres. Structural changes of peptides at the water-oil interface and the destruction of their spatial structure in the complex microenvironment during polymer degradation can affect drug release and in vivo biological activity. This study demonstrates that adding hydroxyethyl starch (HES) to the internal aqueous phase (W1) significantly enhances the stability of semaglutide and optimizes its release behavior in PLGA microspheres. The results showed that this improvement was due to a spontaneous exothermic reaction (ΔH = -132.20 kJ mol-1) facilitated by hydrogen bonds. Incorporating HES into the internal aqueous phase using the water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) emulsion method yielded PLGA microspheres with a high encapsulation rate of 94.38 %. Moreover, microspheres with HES demonstrated well-controlled drug release over 44 days, unlike the slower and incomplete release in microspheres without HES. The optimized h-MG2 formulation achieved a more complete drug release (83.23 %) and prevented 30.65 % of drug loss compared to the HES-free microspheres within the same period. Additionally, the optimized semaglutide microspheres provided nearly three weeks of glycemic control with adequate safety. In conclusion, adding HES to the internal aqueous phase improved the in-situ drug stability and release behavior of semaglutide-loaded PLGA microspheres, effectively increasing the peptide drug payload in PLGA microspheres.

Carbohydr Polym 2023; 312:120838. [PMID: 37059563 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
The oral route has long been recognized as the most preferred route for drug delivery as it offers high patient compliance and requires minimal expertise. Unlike small molecule drugs, the harsh environment of the gastrointestinal tract and low permeability across the intestinal epithelium make oral delivery extremely ineffective for macromolecules. Accordingly, delivery systems that are rationally constructed with suitable materials to overcome barriers to oral delivery are exceptionally promising. Among the most ideal materials are polysaccharides. Depending on the interaction between polysaccharides and proteins, the thermodynamic loading and release of proteins in the aqueous phase can be realized. Specific polysaccharides (dextran, chitosan, alginate, cellulose, etc.) endow systems with functional properties, including muco-adhesiveness, pH-responsiveness, and prevention of enzymatic degradation. Furthermore, multiple groups in polysaccharides can be modified, which gives them a variety of properties and enables them to suit specific needs. This review provides an overview of different types of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers based on different kinds of interaction forces and the influencing factors in the construction of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers. Strategies of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers to improve the bioavailability of orally administered proteins/peptides were described. Additionally, current restrictions and future trends of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers for oral delivery of proteins/peptides were also covered.

Abstract
One of the major applications of Serum Albumins is their use as delivery systems for lipophilic compounds in biomedicine. Their biomedical application is based on the similarity with Human Serum Albumin (HSA), as a fully biocompatible protein. In general, Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is treated as comparable to its human homologue and used as a model protein for fundamental studies since it is available in high amounts and well understood. This protein can act as a carrier for lipophilic compounds or as protective shell in an emulsion-based vehicle. Polysaccharides are generally included in these formulations in order to increase the stability and/or applicability of the carrier. In this review, the main biomedical applications of Albumins as drug delivery systems are first presented. Secondly, the differences between BSA and HSA are highlighted, exploring the similarities and differences between these proteins and their interaction with polysaccharides, both in solution and adsorbed at interfaces. Finally, the use of Albumins as emulsifiers for emulsion-based delivery systems, concretely as Liquid Lipid Nanocapsules (LLNs), is revised and discussed in terms of the differences encountered in the molecular structure and in the interfacial properties. The specific case of Hyaluronic Acid is considered as a promising additive with important applications in biomedicine. The literature works are thoroughly discussed highlighting similarities and differences between BSA and HSA and their interaction with polysaccharides encountered at different structural levels, hence providing routes to control the optimal design of delivery systems.

Abstract
Chemometrics is chemical discipline in which mathematical and statistical methods are coupled with chemical data to extract useful information which cannot be extracted by the use of conventional methods. When experimental techniques are assisted by chemometric methods, very interesting studies will be performed which enable us to obtain valuable information about the system under our study. Chemico-biological interactions are very useful studies which are performed to obtain information about binding of small molecules with biological macromolecules. Recently, these studies have been assisted by chemometric methods to perform advanced studies which can help us to have a deep insight to them. Literature survey showed us that multivariate analysis of the chemico-biological interactions is becoming popular and nowadays, chemometricians are using multivariate chemometric methods for resolving chemico-biological interactions. This article focuses on the works published in the literature to provide a background for those who are interested to work in this field and finally, the results will be discussed and concluded.

Abstract
Increasing peak bone mass during adolescence and reducing bone loss in later life are two approaches to reduce the risk of osteoporosis with aging. Osteoporosis affects a large proportion of the elderly population worldwide and the incidence is increasing. Milk consumption is an accepted strategy in building peak bone mass and therefore may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. In childhood calcium, phosphorous, and growth factors are the important components to support bone growth but in adults the positive influence on bone density/maintenance may also be due to other bioactive proteins/peptides or lipids in milk acting directly in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Lactose has been known to increase calcium absorption; galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are derived from lactose and are non-digestible oligosaccharides. They have been shown to improve mineral balance and bone properties as well as causing increases in bifidobacteria in the gut, therefore a prebiotic effect. Supplementation with fortified milk and dairy products with added prebiotics, increased both calcium and magnesium absorption and caused some modulation of gut microbiota in animals and humans. Fermented milk is now also recognized to contain highly active components such as vitamins, peptides, oligosaccharides, and organic acids. In this review, the role of milk and milk components in improving calcium absorption and thereby supporting bone health is discussed. In addition, some reference is made to the significance of combining the inherent beneficial components from milk with fortificants/nutrients that will support bone health through adulthood. Novel data suggesting differences in diversity of the microbiota between healthy and osteoporotic women are provided.

Abstract
Sodium benzoate (SB) is widely used as a preservative in food industry, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a major carrier protein similar to human serum albumin (HSA), the study of the binding between the two has great significance on human health. In this paper, we systematically investigated the binding of SB and BSA under the simulated physiological conditions combining with various common analytical methods, e.g., fluorescence, UV-vis absorption, synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectra, as well as molecular docking method. The fluorescence quenching measurements were respectively carried out at 298 K, 303 K and 308 K using the Stern-Volmer method. The results reveal that ground state SB-BSA complex was formed within the binding constants from 2.02 × 104 to 7.9 × 103 M-1. Meanwhile, the negative values of ΔH 0 (- 43.92 kJ mol-1) and ΔS 0 (- 111.6 J mol-1 K-1) demonstrated that both the hydrogen binding interaction and van der Waals forces contributed to stabilizing the SB-BSA complex. The site marker competitive experiments show that the SB and BSA bound at site I. Furthermore, the experimental results of UV-vis absorption, synchronous fluorescence and CD spectra indicate that the binding of SB and BSA may change the conformation of BSA. In addition, the molecular docking experiment suggests that hydrogen bond was formed in the interaction between SB and BSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quinoline yellow (QY), a synthetic colourant widely used in the food industry, has caused extensive concerns because of its potentially harmful effects on human health. In the present work, the interactions between QY and human serum albumin (HSA) were characterized by multiple spectroscopic methods, a chemometric algorithm, and molecular modelling studies. RESULTS The concentration profiles and pure spectra obtained for the components (QY, HSA and QY-HSA complex) from analyses of the expanded UV-visible absorption data matrices by multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares confirmed the QY-HSA interaction process. QY quenched the fluorescence of HSA through formation of a QY-HSA complex that was stabilized by moderate affinity. Hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bonding play major roles in the binding of QY to HSA. Site-specific marker-induced displacement results suggest that QY binds to subdomain IIA of HSA. This was corroborated by the molecular docking results. Decreases in HSA surface hydrophobicity and free sulfhydryl group content indicate that QY causes a contraction of the peptide strand in HSA, hiding the hydrophobic patches of the protein. Analyses by UV-visible absorption, circular dichroism, and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy found that QY causes microenvironmental perturbations around the fluorophores and secondary structure changes in HSA. CONCLUSION This work shows that QY binds to HSA, affecting its structural and functional properties, and provides new insights into the binding mechanism and a comprehensive understanding of the toxicity of QY to biological processes. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
