Abstract
Biofilm-associated disorders contribute to elevated morbidity and death rates among patients. We propose synthesizing niosomal structures containing the antibiotics tetracycline and ampicillin ((Tet/Amp)-Nio) and investigating their impact on standard strains of S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa. The antibacterial and anti-biofilm effects of synthesized niosomes against standard pathogenic bacterial strains were studied, and also its cytotoxic activity was investigated against human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) cell line. The optimal formulation (F2) had an average particle size of 196.90 ± 4.57 nm, a PDI of 0.223 ± 0.013, a Zeta-potential of -19.25 ± 1.19 mV, a %EE of 70.92 ± 1.75% for Tet and 58.34 ± 1.85% for Amp, and a %Release rate of 49.34 ± 1.78% for Tet and 62.67 ± 1.19% for Amp. The release of Tet and Amp drugs over 48 h was 47% and 61%, respectively, from the (Tet/Amp)-Nio formulation. Also, our findings demonstrated that the Tet/Amp)-Nio have potent antibacterial, anti-biofilm, and lower cytotoxic activity compared to the Tet + Amp. In addition, (Tet/Amp)-Nio can upregulate the expression level of matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP2) and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) genes, which shows their great activity in the wound healing process. The findings of the current investigation suggest that (Tet/Amp)-Nio enhances its antibacterial and antibiofilm effects against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniae isolates. These formulations may serve as a novel approach for targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Background One of the targeted drug delivery systems is the use of nanocarriers, and one of these drug delivery systems is niosome. Niosome have a nano-vesicular structure and are composed of non-ionic surfactants. Objective: In this study, various niosome-encapsulated meropenem formulations were prepared. Subsequently, their antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities were evaluated against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Methods The physicochemical properties of niosomal formulations were characterized using a field scanning electron microscope, X-Ray diffraction, Zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering. Antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities were evaluated using broth microdilution and minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration, respectively. In addition, biofilm gene expression analysis was performed using quantitative Real-Time PCR. To evaluate biocompatibility, the cytotoxicity of niosome-encapsulated meropenem in a normal human diploid fibroblast (HDF) cell line was investigated using an MTT assay. Results An F1 formulation of niosome-encapsulated meropenem with a size of 51.3 ± 5.84 nm and an encapsulation efficiency of 84.86 ± 3.14 % was achieved. The synthesized niosomes prevented biofilm capacity with a biofilm growth inhibition index of 69 % and significantly downregulated icaD, FnbA, Ebps, and Bap gene expression in MRSA strains (p < 0.05). In addition, the F1 formulation increased antibacterial activity by 4-6 times compared with free meropenem. Interestingly, the F1 formulation of niosome-encapsulated meropenem indicated cell viability >90 % at all tested concentrations against normal HDF cells. The results of the present study indicate that niosome-encapsulated meropenem increased antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities without profound cytotoxicity in normal human cells, which could prove useful as a good drug delivery system.

Abstract
Doxycycline (DOX) is an antimicrobial agent that is susceptible to photosensitivity and thermal degradation. It addition, it causes gastrointestinal side effects when taken orally. Therefore, the development of alternative formulations is necessary to improve drug stability and promote patient compliance. The aim of the present study was to encapsulate DOX in niosomes as a nanocarrier to deliver DOX transdermally and enhance its stability in the formulation. DOX niosomes were prepared using nonionic surfactants, cholesterol, and dihexadecyl phosphate (DCP). After that, niosomes were characterized in terms of practical size (PS), zeta potential (ZP), morphology, and entrapment efficacy (EE%). DOX niosomal gels were then prepared using Carbopol and penetration enhancers (poly(ethylene glycol) 400 (PEG 400) and propylene glycol (PG)). The flux of DOX from the optimized formula was 322.86 μg/cm2/h over 5 h, which equates to 71.2% of DOX. Furthermore, neither the DOX niosomal gel (D3) nor the comparable blank niosomal gel had a negative influence on human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells. The findings of the antimicrobial effectiveness of DOX niosomes indicated that the niosomal formulation improved the antibacterial activity of DOX against E. coli. Permeation studies demonstrated significantly higher DOX permeation when the niosomal gel was applied to rat skin, compared to the conventional gel. Permeability parameters such as flux and the permeability coefficient increased more than 10-fold using the niosomal gels compared with those of conventional gels. In conclusion, a new niosomal gel formulation could serve as an effective alternative for the commercially available form of DOX.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130323.

Abstract
Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most important diseases of brassicas. The antagonistic bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa ZF129 can suppress clubroot while its effectiveness is often unstable. To control clubroot more effectively, the macrobeads for controlled release of ZF129 were prepared using microencapsulation technology. Macrobeads with various ratios of chitosan (2 % w/w): carrageenan (0.3 % w/v) were prepared by an ionotropic gelation method and the bacteria ZF129 was loaded into macrobeads. The 1:1 chitosan: carrageenan showed the maximum swelling ratio (634 %), and the maximum survival rate (61.52 ± 1.12 %) after freeze-drying. Fourier transform infrared revealed the electrostatic interactions between chitosan and carrageenan. The macrobeads can efficiently release ZF129 strains into phosphate buffer solution and reach equilibrium in 48 h. The maximum number of bacteria cells to be released in the soil was observed after 25-30 days. The control efficacy of ZF129 macrobeads (chitosan: carrageenan, 1:1) and ZF129 culture against clubroot disease was 76.33 ± 3.65 % and 59.76 ± 4.43 % in greenhouse experiments, respectively and the control efficacy was calculated as 60.74 ± 5.00 % for ZF129 macrobeads and 40.94 ± 4.05 % for ZF129 culture under field experiments, respectively. The ZF129 macrobeads had significant growth-promoting effects on pak choi and Chinese cabbage. The encapsulation method described in this study is a prudent approach toward efficient biopesticides utilization with reduced environmental implications.

Abstract
Combination therapy has been considered one of the most promising approaches for improving the therapeutic effects of anticancer drugs. This is the first study that uses two different antioxidants in full-characterized niosomal formulation and thoroughly evaluates their synergistic effects on breast cancer cells. In this study, in-silico studies of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs (ascorbic acid: Asc and curcumin: Cur) interactions and release were investigated and validated by a set of in vitro experiments to reveal the significant improvement in breast cancer therapy using a co-delivery approach by niosomal nanocarrier. The niosomal nanoparticles containing surfactants (Span 60 and Tween 60) and cholesterol at 2:1 M ratio were prepared through the film hydration method. A systematic evaluation of nanoniosomes was carried out. The release profile demonstrated two phases (initial burst followed by sustained release) and a pH-dependent release schedule over 72 h. The optimized niosomal preparation displayed superior storage stability for up to 2 months at 4 °C, exhibiting extremely minor changes in pharmaceutical encapsulation efficiency and size. Free dual drugs (Asc + Cur) and dual-drug loaded niosomes (Niosomal (Asc + Cur)) enhanced the apoptotic activity and cytotoxicity and inhibited cell migration which confirmed the synergistic effect of co-encapsulated drugs. Also, significant up-regulation of p53 and Bax genes was observed in cells treated with Asc + Cur and Niosomal (Asc + Cur), while the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 gene was down-regulated. These results were in correlation with the increase in the enzyme activity of SOD, CAT, and caspase, and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon treatment with the mentioned drugs. Furthermore, these anti-cancer effects were higher when using Niosomal (Asc + Cur) than Asc + Cur. Histopathological examination also revealed that Niosomal (Asc + Cur) had a lower mitosis index, invasion, and pleomorphism than Asc + Cur. These findings indicated that niosomal formulation for co-delivery of Asc and Cur would offer a promising delivery system for an effective breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
As therapeutic agents that allow for minimally invasive administration, injectable biomaterials stand out as effective tools with tunable properties. Furthermore, hydrogels with responsive features present potential platforms for delivering therapeutics to desired sites in the body. Herein, temperature-responsive hydrogel scaffolds with embedded targeted nanoparticles were utilized to achieve controlled drug delivery via local drug administration. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) hydrogels, prepared with an ethylene-glycol-based cross-linker, demonstrated thermo-sensitive gelation ability upon injection into environments at body temperature. This hydrogel network was engineered to provide a slow and controlled drug release profile by being incorporated with curcumin-loaded nanoparticles bearing high encapsulation efficiency. A core (alginate)-shell (chitosan) nanoparticle design was preferred to ensure the stability of the drug molecules encapsulated in the core and to provide slower drug release. Nanoparticle-embedded hydrogels were shown to release curcumin at least four times slower compared to the free nanoparticle itself and to possess high water uptake capacity and more mechanically stable viscoelastic behavior. Moreover, this therapy has the potential to specifically address tumor tissues over-expressing folate receptors like ovaries, as the nanoparticles target the receptors by folic acid conjugation to the periphery. Together with its temperature-driven injectability, it can be concluded that this hydrogel scaffold with drug-loaded and embedded folate-targeting nanoparticles would provide effective therapy for tumor tissues accessible via minimally invasive routes and be beneficial for post-operative drug administration after tumor resection.

Abstract
New natural analgesic compounds that act in KORs are important alternatives for potential therapeutical use in medicine. In this work, we report and compare here the antinociceptive activity displayed by cyclic and linear diterpenes, obtained from the genus Baccharis. The antinociceptive activities determined were relatively strong, in comparison whit morphine. The antinociceptive mechanism of action was made through naloxone administration (a non-selective antagonist of opioid receptors). The more active compounds were vehiculized successfully in niosomes at nanometric scale. The observed antinociceptive activity for Bartemidiolide oxide (BARTO), obtain from Baccharis artemisioides, was greater than Flabeloic acid dimer (DACD), the first compound isolated from Baccharis flabellata that was reported possessing antinociceptive effects. We also conducted docking calculations and molecular dynamics simulations, which suggested that the newly identified diterpenes might share the molecular action mechanism reported for Salvinorin A (SalA). Molecular simulations have allowed us to appreciate some subtle differences between molecular interactions of these ligands stabilizing their respective complexes; such information might be useful for designing and searching for new inhibitors of KORs.

Abstract
We aim to assess the antibacterial and anti-biofilm properties of Niosome-encapsulated Imipenem. After isolating Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates and determining their microbial sensitivity, their ability to form biofilms was examined using plate microtiter assay. Various formulations of Niosome-encapsulated Imipenem were prepared using the thin-film hydration method, Minimum Biofilm Inhibitory Concentration (MBIC) and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) were determined, and biofilm genes expression was examined. Drug formulations' toxicity effect on HDF cells were determined using MTT assay. Out of the 162 separated S. epidermidis, 106 were resistant to methicillin. 87 MRSE isolates were vancomycin-resistant, all of which could form biofilms. The F1 formulation of niosomal Imipenem with a size of 192.3 ± 5.84 and an encapsulation index of 79.36 ± 1.14 was detected, which prevented biofilm growth with a BGI index of 69% and reduced icaD, FnbA, EbpS biofilms' expression with P ≤ 0.001 in addition to reducing MBIC and MIC by 4-6 times. Interestingly, F1 formulation of niosomal Imipenem indicated cell viability over 90% at all tested concentrations. The results of the present study indicate that Niosome-encapsulated Imipenem reduces the resistance of MRSE to antibiotics in addition to increasing its anti-biofilm and antibiotic activity, and could prove useful as a new strategy for drug delivery.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RES) is a stilbene group of natural polyphenolic compounds in trees, peanuts, and grapes. RES is revealed with anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective effects. Though it is proven with prominent therapeutic activity, low aqueous solubility, poor bioavailability, and short half-life had hindered its use to exploit the potential. Also, the first-pass metabolism and undergoing enterohepatic recirculation are obscure in the minds of researchers for their in vitro studies. Many approaches have been investigated and shown promising results in manipulating their physicochemical properties to break this barrier. Nanocarriers are one of them to reduce the first-pass metabolism and to overcome other hurdles. This article reviews and highlights such encapsulation technologies. Nanoencapsulated RES improves in vitro antioxidant effect, and this review also highlights the new strategies and the concept behind how resveratrol can be handled and implemented with better therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Hydrogels belong to the most promising materials in polymer and materials science at the moment. As they feature soft and tissue-like character as well as high water-content, a broad range of applications are addressed with hydrogels, e.g. tissue engineering and wound dressings but also soft robotics, drug delivery, actuators and catalysis. Ways to tailor hydrogel properties are crosslinking mechanism, hydrogel shape and reinforcement, but new features can be introduced by variation of hydrogel composition as well, e.g. via monomer choice, functionalization or compartmentalization. Especially, multicompartment hydrogels drive progress towards complex and highly functional soft materials. In the present review the latest developments in multicompartment hydrogels are highlighted with a focus on three types of compartments, i.e. micellar/vesicular, droplets or multi-layers including various sub-categories. Furthermore, several morphologies of compartmentalized hydrogels and applications of multicompartment hydrogels will be discussed as well. Finally, an outlook towards future developments of the field will be given. The further development of multicompartment hydrogels is highly relevant for a broad range of applications and will have a significant impact on biomedicine and organic devices.

Abstract
Vesicular systems such as niosomes provide an alternative to improve drug delivery systems. The efficiency of a drug delivery vehicle is strongly dependent on its components which decide its interaction with partitioned drug(s) and locus of site of partitioning. A quantitative understanding of the physical chemistry underlying partitioning of drugs in complex systems of self-assemblies such as niosomes is scarcely available. In order to obtain quantitative mechanistic insights into partitioning and release of drugs [mitoxantrone (MTX) and ketoprofen (KTP)] in systems of niosomes, we have employed ultrasensitive calorimetry, spectroscopy and microscopy to establish correlations between functionality and energetics which could provide guidance towards rational drug design and choice of suitable non-ionic surfactant-based drug delivery vehicles. Electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods were used for characterization and assessing the morphology of niosomes. We present here a calorimetry-based approach in assessing the partitioning of the anticancer drugs mitoxantrone and ketoprofen in niosomes and their release to human serum albumin (HSA) employing isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and comparison with equilibrium dialysis. The thermodynamic signatures and kinetics of release were analyzed to obtain insights into the role of the functional groups on the drugs in the partitioning process. The assessment of thermal and conformational stability of proteins during drug binding and the effect of drug delivery vehicles on proteins is also crucial. To assess these effects, DSC studies on HSA in the presence and absence of drugs and niosomes were also performed. Finally, the efficacy of the system to impact the cell viability of the MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast carcinoma cell line was analysed using MTT assay.

Abstract
With the increased occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, alternatives to classical antibiotics are urgently needed for treatment of various infectious diseases. Medicinal plant extracts are among the promising candidates due to their bioactive components. The aim of this study was to prepare niosome-encapsulated Echinacea angustifolia extract and study its efficacy against multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. Encapsulation was first optimized by Design of Experiments, followed by the empirical study. The obtained niosomes were further characterized for the size and morphology using dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Spherical niosomes had a diameter of 142.3 ± 5.1 nm, as measured by DLS. The entrapment efficiency (EE%) of E. angustifolia extract reached up to 77.1% ± 0.3%. The prepared niosomes showed a controlled drug release within the tested 72 h and a storage stability of at least 2 months at both 4 and 25 °C. The encapsulated E. angustifolia displayed up to 16-fold higher antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant K.pneumoniae strains, compared to the free extract. Additionally, the niosome exhibited negligible cytotoxicity against human foreskin fibroblasts. We anticipate that the results presented herein could contribute to the preparation of other plant extracts with improved stability and antibacterial activity, and will help reduce the overuse of antibiotics by controlled release of natural-derived drugs.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenol which produces several benefits to human health, being the trans-isomer the most bioactive. However, its systemic absorption is limited due to its low water solubility, that reduces the oral bioavailability, and its chemical instability (owing to the trans-cis RSV isomer conversion upon light irradiation). Thus, encapsulation of this bioactive compound is required to protect it from destructive environmental conditions. Here, trans-RSV was encapsulated in food grade nanovesicles formed by Tween 80 and Span 80, with or without the addition of dodecanol (Dod) as membrane stabilizer. The size and shape of niosomes were evaluated by microscopy (TEM) and light scattering. RSV was successfully encapsulated in the vesicular systems (49-57%). The effect of Dod in the membrane bilayer was evaluated on the RSV in vitro release experiments under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The total antioxidant capacity of the encapsulated polyphenol was measured using radicals' assays (DPPH and ABTS). The niosomes were able to maintain almost the total antioxidant capacity of encapsulated RSV, also preserved the ~85% of trans-RSV, thus offering considerable protection against high energy irradiation. These results make these systems suitable for different applications, particularly for photosensitive compounds.

Abstract
Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a polyphenolic compound existing in trees, peanuts and grapes and exhibits a broad spectrum of promising therapeutic activities, but it is unclear whether this entity targets the sites of action after oral administration. In vivo applicability of resveratrol has limited success so far, mainly due to its incompetent systemic delivery resulting from its low water solubility, poor bioavailability and short biological half-life. First-pass metabolism and presence of enterohepatic recirculation create doubt on the biological application of high doses typically used for in vitro trials. To augment bioavailability, absorption and uptake of resveratrol by cellular internalization, countless approaches have been implemented which involve the use of nanocarriers. Nanocarriers are a well-known delivery system used to reduce first-pass hepatic metabolism, overcome enterohepatic recirculation and accelerate the absorption of drugs via lymphatic pathways.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is applied in a number of medical applications and HA of different molecular weight (Mw) are used in different pharmaceutical preparations. In determination of Mw by muti-angle laser light-scattering (MALS), refractive index increment (dn/dc) is an important parameter for accuracy. Herein, the influence of dn/dc on the Mw of HA in stroke-physiological saline solution is investigated by MALS in this work. Additionally, the Mw variation of HA in the manufacturing process of preparations is measured. It is shown that each HA sample corresponds to a specific value of dn/dc, which is varied from 1.38 to 1.74 L/g with the Mw increasing from 13.5 to 2840 kDa in solution. It is indicated by the results from both MALS approach and viscometry that appropriate dn/dc should be selected for Mw determination. In steam sterilization process of preparations at 121 °C, the Mw and conformation of HA can be accurately and rapidly determined by MALS. This work provides a precise method to determine the Mw of HA in the medical applications and preparation industries.
