Abstract
In the present work, we study different physicochemical properties related to LADME processes of volasertib, a Polo-like kinase 1 inhibitor in advanced clinical trials. Firstly, the protonation equilibria, the extent of ionization at the physiological pH and pKa values of this drug are studied combining spectroscopic techniques and computational calculations. Secondly, the binding process of volasertib to the human serum albumin (HSA) protein is analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy. We report a high binding constant to HSA (Ka = 4.10 × 106 M-1) and their pharmacokinetic implications are discussed accordingly. The negative enthalpy and entropy (ΔH0 = -54.49 kJ/mol; ΔS0 = -58.90 J K-1 mol-1) determined for the binding process suggests the implication of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions in the formation of the HSA-volasertib complex. Additionally, volasertib is encapsulated in an alginate/montmorillonite bionanocomposite as a proof of concept for an oral delivery nanocarrier. The physical properties of that nanocomposite as well as volasertib delivery kinetics are analyzed.

Abstract
Intercalation compounds represent a unique class of materials that can be anisotropic (1D and 2D-based topology) or isotropic (3D) through their guest/host superlattice repetitive organisation. Intercalation refers to the reversible introduction of guest species with variable natures into a crystalline host lattice. Different host lattice structures have been used for the preparation of intercalation compounds, and many examples are produced by exploiting the flexibility and the ability of 2D-based hosts to accommodate different guest species, ranging from ions to complex molecules. This reaction is then carried out to allow systematic control and fine tuning of the final properties of the derived compounds, thus allowing them to be used for various applications. This review mainly focuses on the recent applications of intercalation layered compounds (ILCs) based on layered clays, zirconium phosphates, layered double hydroxides and graphene as heterogeneous catalysts, for environmental and health purposes, aiming at collecting and discussing how intercalation processes can be exploited for the selected applications.

Abstract
Nanoclay-composite hydrogels represent a promising avenue for advancing bone tissue engineering. Traditional hydrogels face challenges in providing mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and bioactivity necessary for successful bone regeneration. The incorporation of nanoclay into hydrogel matrices offers a potential unique solution to these challenges. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the fabrication, physico-chemical/biological performance, and applications of nanoclay-composite hydrogels in bone tissue engineering. Various fabrication techniques, including in situ polymerization, physical blending, and 3D printing, are discussed. In vitro and in vivo studies evaluating biocompatibility and bioactivity have demonstrated the potential of these hydrogels for promoting cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Their applications in bone defect repair, osteochondral tissue engineering and drug delivery are also explored. Despite their potential in bone tissue engineering, nanoclay-composite hydrogels face challenges such as optimal dispersion, scalability, biocompatibility, long-term stability, regulatory approval, and integration with emerging technologies to achieve clinical application. Future research directions need to focus on refining fabrication techniques, enhancing understanding of biological interactions, and advancing towards clinical translation and commercialization. Overall, nanoclay-composite hydrogels offer exciting opportunities for improving bone regeneration strategies.

Abstract
Thyroid cancer, the most prevalent cancer of the endocrine system and cervical region, has experienced a significant increase in incidence over recent decades. Nanomedicine has fundamentally revolutionized cancer treatment, particularly through the development of multifunctional nano-therapeutics. The progress in this field has been facilitated by the distinctive properties of nanomaterials, such as their capacity to perform several functions, be modified, and offer various detection methods. These features allow for non-invasive and practical diagnostic techniques through versatile imaging. Surface engineering plays a pivotal role in the design of multifunctional nano-systems for localized drug delivery against thyroid cancer. Nano-systems can be customized via surface modification techniques, such as functionalization with targeting ligands and inclusion of therapeutic drugs. This customization allows the nano-systems to specifically target cancer cells while reducing the impact on non-target cells. As a result, bovine serum albumin-coated nanostructures have emerged as powerful diagnostic and targeting nanosystems for thyroid cancer. This targeted strategy enhances the effectiveness of cancer treatment while reducing overall body toxicity. This comprehensive review aims to provide an extensive overview of the latest advancements in surface-engineered nanoparticle-based approaches for both diagnosing and treating thyroid cancer. It highlights the promising research endeavors aimed at creating novel and effective multifunctional nanomedicine for localized delivery to thyroid cancer sites. The review examines different nanomedicines that have been developed for cancer treatment and diagnosis. It also analyzes the current trends, future possibilities, and obstacles in this rapidly advancing sector. By synthesizing the current state of knowledge on surface-engineered multifunctional nano-systems, this review contributes to a better understanding of their potential applications in thyroid cancer treatment and paves the way for future research directions in this promising field of nanomedicine.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 271:132531. [PMID: 38777011 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we investigate the influence of montmorillonite (MMT) on the loading and release of Piper betle L. extract (PLE)-a medicinal herb containing active secondary metabolites with antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. MMT (1 %, 3 %, 5 %) was blended into the chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) biocomposite film by the solution evaporation method, and then PLE was loaded onto this biocomposite using the immersion method. The tensile strength and the ability to absorb exudates of the CS/PVA film improved with the increase in MMT content. The MMT 3 % film was considered to have the best properties: good mechanical properties with a tensile strength of 27.44 ± 0.27 MPa and elongation at break of 14.57 ± 0.30 %, potential for wound dressing due to its ability to absorb wound exudate (swelling degree 61.70 ± 0.30 %) and a suitable water vapor transmission rate (1999 ± 47 g/m2·d). The presence of MMT (1 %, 3 %, 5 %) in the CS/PVA film led to an increase in the PLE loading efficiency of the films compared to the film without MMT, up to 1.65, 1.73, and 1.87 times, respectively. The MMT 3 % and 5 % films also exhibited a sustained PLE release effect for up to 24 h. MMT increased PLE bioavailability through bioactivity tests: antibacterial activity against both E. coli and S. aureus, antioxidant activity, effective healing of 2nd-degree burn wounds, and biocompatibility with the L929 fibroblasts cell line. The combination of physicochemical properties and biological activities proved that the MMT/PLE drug delivery system based on the CS/PVA biocomposite is promising for wound dressing.

Abstract
Skin cancer remains one of the most prominent types of cancer. Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer are commonly found together, with melanoma being the more deadly type. Skin cancer can be effectively treated with chemotherapy, which mostly uses small molecular medicines, phytoceuticals, and biomacromolecules. Topical delivery of these therapeutics is a non-invasive way that might be useful in effectively managing skin cancer. Different skin barriers, however, presented a major obstacle to topical cargo administration. Transferosomes have demonstrated significant potential in topical delivery by improving cargo penetration through the circumvention of diverse skin barriers. Additionally, the transferosome-based gel can prolong the residence of drug on the skin, lowering the frequency of doses and their associated side effects. However, the choice of appropriate transferosome compositions, such as phospholipids and edge activators, and fabrication technique are crucial for achieving improved entrapment efficiency, penetration, and regulated particle size. The present review discusses skin cancer overview, current treatment strategies for skin cancer and their drawbacks. Topical drug delivery against skin cancer is also covered, along with the difficulties associated with it and the importance of transferosomes in avoiding these difficulties. Additionally, a summary of transferosome compositions and fabrication methods is provided. Furthermore, topical delivery of small molecular drugs, phytoceuticals, and biomacromolecules using transferosomes and transferosomes-based gel in treating skin cancer is discussed. Thus, transferosomes can be a significant option in the topical delivery of drugs to manage skin cancer efficiently.

Abstract
Spontaneous bone regeneration encounters substantial restrictions in cases of bone defects, demanding external intervention to improve the repair and regeneration procedure. The field of bone tissue engineering (BTE), which embraces a range of disciplines, offers compelling replacements for conventional strategies like autografts, allografts, and xenografts. Among the diverse scaffolding materials utilized in BTE applications, hydrogels have demonstrated great promise as templates for the regeneration of bone owing to their resemblance to the innate extracellular matrix. In spite of the advancement of several biomaterials, chitosan (CS), a natural biopolymer, has garnered significant attention in recent years as a beneficial graft material for producing injectable hydrogels. Injectable hydrogels based on CS formulations provide numerous advantages, including their capacity to absorb and preserve a significant amount of water, their minimally invasive character, the existence of porous structures, and their capability to adapt accurately to irregular defects. Moreover, combining CS with other naturally derived or synthetic polymers and bioactive materials has displayed its effectiveness as a feasible substitute for traditional grafts. We aim to spotlight the composition, production, and physicochemical characteristics and practical utilization of CS-based injectable hydrogels, explicitly focusing on their potential implementations in bone regeneration. We consider this review a fundamental resource and a source of inspiration for future research attempts to pioneer the next era of tissue-engineering scaffold materials.

Abstract
In the study, the proliferation of industries has been associated with an increase in the production of industrial wastewater and subsequent environmental pollution, wherein dyes emerge as prominent pollutants. The characteristics of nanoclay modified with octadecylamine, were elucidated throughvarious techniques, including Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (FE-SEM/EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller Surface Area Analysis (BET). The research delved into the impact of variables such as pH, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, temperature, and ultrasonication time on the removal of Acid Black 1 (AB1) through an ultrasonic process, employing a central composite design (CCD). Optimal conditions for the adsorption process were determined: pH at 5.46, adsorbent mass at 4 mg/30 mL, initial dye concentration at 20 mg/L, ultrasound time at 20 min, and temperature at 50 °C, resulting in a remarkable 96.49% adsorption efficiency. The fitting of experimental equilibrium data to different isotherm models, including Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin, indicated thatthe Freundlich model was the most suitable. Analysis of the adsorption data with various kinetic models such as pseudo-first and second-order models, and intraparticle diffusion models, revealed the applicability of the second-order equation model. A thermodynamic study unveiled that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. In conclusion, the study highlights the significant capability ofmontmorillonite nanoclay modified with octadecylamine in removing AB1 dye, rendering it a viable option for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Recent efforts have focused on developing improved drug delivery systems with enhanced therapeutic efficacy and minimal side effects. Micelles, self-assembled from amphiphilic block copolymers in aqueous solutions, have gained considerable attention for drug delivery. However, there is a need to further enhance their efficiency. These micelles offer benefits like biodegradability, biocompatibility, sustained drug release, and improved patient compliance. Yet, researchers must address stability issues and reduce toxicity. Nanoscale self-assembled structures have shown promise as efficient drug carriers, offering an alternative to conventional methods. Fine-tuning at the monomeric and molecular levels, along with structural modifications, is crucial for optimal drug release profiles. Various strategies, such as entrapping hydrophobic drugs and using polyethylene oxide diblock copolymer micelles to resist protein adsorption and cellular adhesion, protect the hydrophobic core from degradation. The polyethylene oxide corona also provides stealth properties, prolonging blood circulation for extended drug administration. Amphiphilic copolymers are attractive for drug delivery due to their adjustable properties, allowing control over micelle size and morphology. Emerging tools promise complex and multifunctional platforms. This article summarizes about the challenges as far as the use of micelles is concerned, including optimizing performance, rigorous pre-clinical and clinical research, and suggests further improvement for drug delivery efficacy.

Abstract
Ionically cross-linked alginate hydrogels are used in a wide range of applications, such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and food packaging. A shortcoming of these gels is that they lose their strength and degrade at low pH values. To develop gels able to preserve their integrity in a wide range of pH values, Ca-alginate-montmorillonite nanocomposite gels are prepared, and their chemical structure, morphology, and mechanical response are analyzed. As the uniformity of nanocomposite gels is strongly affected by concentrations of MMT and CaCl2, it is revealed that homogeneous gels can be prepared with 4 wt.% MMT and 0.5 M CaCl2 at the highest. The viscoelastic behavior of nanocomposite gels in aqueous solutions with pH = 7 and pH = 2 is investigated by means of small-amplitude compressive oscillatory tests. It is shown that Ca-alginate-MMT nanocomposite gels preserve their integrity while being swollen at pH = 2. The experimental data are fitted by a model with only two material parameters, which shows that the elastic moduli increase linearly with a concentration of MMT at all pH values under investigation due to formation of physical bonds between alginate chains and MMT platelets. The presence of these bonds is confirmed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The morphology of nanocomposite gels is studied by means of wide-angle X-ray diffraction, which reveals that intercalation of polymer chains between clay platelets increases the interlayer gallery spacing.

Abstract
The development of innovative approaches to deliver medications has been growing now for the last few decades and generates a growing interest in the dermatopharmaceutical field. Transdermal drug delivery in particular, remains an attractive alternative route for many therapeutics. However, due to the limitations posed by the barrier properties of the stratum corneum, the delivery of many pharmaceutical dosage forms remains a challenge. Most successful therapies using the transdermal route have been ones containing smaller lipophilic molecules with molecular weights of a few hundred Daltons. To overcome these limitations of size and lipophilicity of the drugs, transferosomes have emerged as a successful tool for transdermal delivery of a variety of therapeutics including hydrophilic actives, larger molecules, peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids. Transferosomes exhibit a flexible structure and higher surface hydrophilicity which both play a critical role in the transport of drugs and other solutes using hydration gradients as a driving force to deliver the molecules into and across the skin. This results in enhanced overall permeation as well as controlled release of the drug in the skin layers. Additionally, the physical-chemical properties of the transferosomes provide increased stability by preventing degradation of the actives by oxidation, light, and temperature. Here, we present the history of transferosomes from solid lipid nanoparticles and liposomes, their physical-chemical properties, dermal kinetics, and their recent advances as marketed dosage forms. This article is categorized under: Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Lipid-Based Structures Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

Abstract
Materials for Cs+ adsorption continue to be important for the treatment of various solutions. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with large specific surface areas promise adsorption properties for various gases, vapors, and ions. However, the utilization of MOFs for alkali ion capture, specifically, Cs+ capture is still in its infancy. Herein, MOFs are hybridized with polyoxometalates (POMs) to study the effect of i) MOF type, ii) POM type, and iii) POM loading amounts on Cs+ capture. In particular, the composite of ZIF-8 and [α-PMo12 O40 ]3- (PMo12 /ZIF-8) adsorbed Cs+ ions effectively when compared to pristine ZIF-8. In addition, the reduction of Mo within the POM from MoVI to MoV by ascorbic acid during the Cs+ uptake process doubled the Cs+ uptake capacity of PMo12 /ZIF-8. This observation can be attributed to the increased overall negative charge of the POM facilitating Cs+ uptake to compensate for the charge imbalance. Hybridization with other MOFs (MIL-101 and UiO-66) largely suppresses the Cs+ uptake, highlighting the importance of hydrophobicity in Cs+ capture. Furthermore, PMo12 /ZIF-8 led to an outstanding Cs+ uptake (291.5 mg g-1 ) with high selectivity (79.6%) from quinary mixtures of alkali metal cations even among other representative porous materials (Prussian blue and zeolites).

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are well-known and important class of hydrotalcite-type anionic clays (HTs) materials that are cost-effective with additional advantages of facile synthesis, composition, tenability, and reusability. These convincing characteristics are liable for their applications in various fields related to energy, environment, catalysis, biomedical, and biotechnology. HTs/LDHs are generally synthesized from low cost abundantly available chemical precursors through the aqueous synthetic pathways under mild reaction conditions. These materials can be termed green materials based on their non-toxic nature, availability of precursors, facile and low-cost production using aqueous medium conditions with less hazardous effluents. Diverse and fascinating characteristics have been attributed to HTs/LDHs like anion exchange ability, surface basicity, biocompatibility, controlled release of the anion specific area, porosity, easy surface modification, and pH dependent biodegradability. Hence, HTs/LDHs and their modified and/or functionalized nanohybrids/nanocomposites are reported as the potential drug delivery carriers with a capability to stabilize the susceptible bioactive molecules, may enhance the solubility of poorly soluble drugs along with controlled drug/bioactive molecule release and delivery. These clay and bioactive hybrid materials have good biocompatibility, less cytotoxicity, and better site-targeting with improved cellular uptake than that of free parent biomolecules. These lamellar solids of micro/nanostructure are compatible, host-guest materials and able to fabricate with drugs/cosmeceutical/bio- or synthetic polymers without any change in their molecular structure and reactivity along with improvement in their stabilities. Other important features are facile synthesis, basicity, high stability with easy storage, and efficient administration with low bio-toxicity. This study enlightens the applications of HTs/LDHs along with their hybrids/composites in the field of drug/cosmeceutical/gene delivery systems of natural/synthetic biomolecules.

Abstract
In recent years, the coagulation properties of inorganic minerals such as kaolin and zeolite have been demonstrated. This study aimed to assess the hemostatic properties of three local clays from China: natural kaolin from Hainan, natural halloysite from Yunnan, and zeolite synthesized by our group. The physical and chemical properties, blood coagulation performance, and cell biocompatibility of the three materials were tested. The studied materials were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All three clays showed different morphologies and particle size, and exhibited negative potentials between pH 6 and 8. The TGA and DSC curves for kaolin and halloysite were highly similar. Kaolin showed the highest water absorption capacity (approximately 93.8% ± 0.8%). All three clays were noncytotoxic toward L929 mouse fibroblasts. Kaolin and halloysite showed blood coagulation effects similar to that exhibited by zeolite, indicating that kaolin and halloysite are promising alternative hemostatic materials.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is a huge worldwide health burden, impacting women in impoverished nations in particular. Traditional therapeutic approaches, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, frequently result in systemic toxicity and ineffectiveness. Nanomedicine has emerged as a viable strategy for targeted delivery of therapeutic drugs to cancer cells while decreasing off-target effects and increasing treatment success in recent years. Nanomedicine for cervical cancer introduces several novel aspects that distinguish it from previous treatment options such as tailored delivery system, precision targeting, combination therapies, real-time monitoring and diverse nanocarriers to overcome the limitations of one another. This abstract presents recent advances in nanomedicine-based tailored delivery systems for the treatment of cervical cancer. Liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, and carbon nanotubes have all been intensively studied for their ability to transport chemotherapeutic medicines, nucleic acids, and imaging agents to cervical cancer cells. Because of the way these nanocarriers are designed, they may cross biological barriers and preferentially aggregate at the tumor site, boosting medicine concentration and lowering negative effects on healthy tissues. Surface modification of nanocarriers with targeting ligands like antibodies, peptides, or aptamers improves specificity for cancer cells by identifying overexpressed receptors or antigens on the tumor surface. Furthermore, nanomedicine-based techniques have made it possible to co-deliver numerous therapeutic drugs, allowing for synergistic effects and overcoming drug resistance. In preclinical and clinical investigations, combination treatments comprising chemotherapeutic medicines, gene therapy, immunotherapy, and photodynamic therapy have showed encouraging results, opening up new avenues for individualized and multimodal treatment regimens. Furthermore, the inclusion of contrast agents and imaging probes into nanocarrier systems has enabled real-time monitoring and imaging of treatment response. This enables the assessment of therapy efficacy, the early diagnosis of recurrence, and the optimization of treatment regimens.

Abstract
Following the introduction of osteo-immunomodulation as a new and important strategy to enhance material osseointegration, achieving an appropriate immune response after biomaterial implantation has become a significant challenge for efficient bone repair. In this study, a nanosilicate-reinforced sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel was fabricated by introducing montmorillonite (MMT) nanoparticles. Meanwhile, an immunogenically bioactive agent, harmine (HM), was loaded and released to induce macrophage differentiation into the M2 type. The fabricated SA/MMT/HM (SMH) hydrogel exhibited improved mechanical stiffness and stability, which also efficiently promoted macrophage anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype polarization and enhanced the secretion of pro-tissue healing cytokines for inducing a favorable immunomodulatory microenvironment for the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Furthermore, a rat air-pouch model and a critical-size bone defect model were used and the results showed that the SMH hydrogel increased the proportion of M2 macrophages and markedly reduced local inflammation, while enhancing desirable new bone formation. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the SMH hydrogel accelerated the M1-to-M2 transition of macrophages by inhibiting relevant inflammatory signaling pathways and activating the PI3K-AKT1 signaling pathway. Taken together, this high-intensity immunomodulatory hydrogel may be a promising biomaterial for bone regeneration and provide a valuable base and positive enlightenment for massive bone defect repair.

Abstract
The pH-sensitive and magnetic-triggered release ensures the effective delivery of drugs. Chitosan carries amine pendants that encourage the fabrication of pH-responsive carriers. Montmorillonite (MMt), an attractive nano-clay in drug delivery possessing high encapsulation properties, was magnetized through the co-precipitation of Fe3+/Fe2+ ions. The study aimed to integrate the magnetic montmorillonite (mMMt) into the chitosan matrix and crosslinked by citric acid (CA) to achieve the nanocomposite carrier with double-responsive features for effective drug delivery. The release evaluation revealed that coating the mMMt with CA-crosslinked chitosan prevented the burst release of Ciprofluxcacin (Cip). The nanocomposite showed a high sustained release, and the release rate in the neutral environment (pH 7.4) was remarkably higher than in acidic media (pH 5.8). The new nanocomposite carrier showed high encapsulation efficiency to Cip (about 98 %). The study was developed by investigating external magnetic effects on the release rate, which lead to an increase in the release rate. The kinetics studies confirmed the diffusion mechanism for Cip release in all experimental media. The Cip-loaded nanocomposite carriers showed antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering has risen to tackle the challenges of the current clinical need concerning bone fractures that is already considered a healthcare system problem. Scaffold systems for the repair of this tissue have yielded different combinations including biomaterials with nanotechnology or biological agents. Herein, three-dimensional porous hydrogels were engineered based on gelatin as a natural biomaterial and reinforced with synthetic saponite nanoclays. Scaffolds were biocompatible and shown to enhance the inherent properties of pristine ones, in particular, proved to withstand pressures similar to load-bearing tissues. Studies with murine mesenchymal stem cells found that scaffolds had the potential to proliferate and promote cell differentiation. In vivo experiments were conducted to gain insight about the ability of these cell-free scaffolds to regenerate bone, as well as to determine the role that these nanoparticles in the scaffold could play as a drug delivery system. SDF-1 loaded scaffolds showed the highest percentage of bone formation, which was corroborated by osteogenic markers and new blood vessels. Albeit a first attempt in the field of synthetic nanosilicates, these results suggest that the designed constructs may serve as delivery platforms for biomimetic agents to mend bony defects, circumventing high doses of therapeutics and cell-loading systems.

Abstract
The rapid proliferative biological behavior of primary foci of anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) makes it a lethal tumor. According to the specific iodine uptake capacity of thyroid cells and enhanced endocytosis of ATC cells, we designed a kind of nanoclay drug-loading system and showed a promising treatment strategy for ATC. Introducing potassium iodide (KI) improves the homoaggregation of clay nanoparticles and then affects the distribution of nanoparticles in vivo, which makes KI@DOX-KaolinMeOH enriched almost exclusively in thyroid tissue. Simultaneously, the improvement of dispersibility of KI@DOX-KaolinMeOH changes the target uptake of ATC cells by improving the endocytosis and nanoparticle-induced autophagy, which regulate the production of autolysosomes and autophagy-enhanced chemotherapy, eventually contributing to a tumor inhibition rate of more than 90% in the primary foci of ATC. Therefore, this facile strategy to improve the homoaggregation of nanoclay by introducing KI has the potential to become an advanced drug delivery vehicle in ATC treatment.

Abstract
Advanced functional two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials offer unique advantages in drug delivery systems for disease treatment. Kaolinite (Kaol), a nanoclay mineral, is a natural 2D nanomaterial because of its layered silicate structure with nanoscale layer spacing. Recently, Kaol nanoclay is used as a carrier for controlled drug release and improved drug dissolution owing to its advantageous properties such as surface charge, strong biocompatibility, and naturally layered structure, making it an essential development direction for nanoclay-based drug carriers. This review outlines the main physicochemical characteristics of Kaol and the modification methods used for its application in biomedicine. The safety and biocompatibility of Kaol are addressed, and details of the application of Kaol as a drug delivery nanomaterial in antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer treatment are discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects of Kaol-based drug delivery nanomaterials in biomedicine are discussed. This review recommends directions for the further development of Kaol nanocarriers by improving their physicochemical properties and expanding the bioapplication range of Kaol.

Abstract
Hydrogels are widely used for therapeutic delivery applications due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to control release kinetics by tuning swelling and mechanical properties. However, their clinical utility is hampered by unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties, including high initial burst release and difficulty in achieving prolonged release, especially for small molecules (<500 Da). The incorporation of nanomaterials within hydrogels has emerged as viable option as a method to trap therapeutics within the hydrogel and sustain release kinetics. Specifically, two-dimensional nanosilicate particles offer a plethora of beneficial characteristics, including dually charged surfaces, degradability, and enhanced mechanical properties within hydrogels. The nanosilicate-hydrogel composite system offers benefits not obtainable by just one component, highlighting the need for detail characterization of these nanocomposite hydrogels. This review focuses on Laponite, a disc-shaped nanosilicate with diameter of 30 nm and thickness of 1 nm. The benefits of using Laponite within hydrogels are explored, as well as examples of Laponite-hydrogel composites currently being investigated for their ability to prolong the release of small molecules and macromolecules such as proteins. Future work will further characterize the interplay between nanosilicates, hydrogel polymer, and encapsulated therapeutics, and how each of these components affect release kinetics and mechanical properties.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS In the field of Pickering emulsion, original inside/ouside Janus clays nanoparticles are investigated for their emulsification properties. Imogolite is a tubular nanomineral of the clay family having both inner and outer hydrophilic surfaces. A Janus version of this nanomineral with an inner surface fully covered by methyl groups can be obtained directly by synthesis (Imo-CH3, hybrid imogolite). The hydrophilic/hydrophobic duality of the Janus Imo-CH3 allows the nanotubes to be dispersed in an aqueous suspension and enables emulsification of non-polar compounds due to the hydrophobic inner cavity of the nanotube. EXPERIMENTS Through the combination of Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), interfacial observations and rheology, the stabilization mechanism of imo-CH3 in oil-water emulsions has been investigated. FINDINGS Here, we show that interfacial stabilization of an oil-in-water emulsion is rapidly obtained at a critical Imo-CH3 concentration as low as 0.6 wt%. Below this concentration threshold, no arrested coalescence is observed, and excess oil is expelled from the emulsion through a cascading coalescence mechanism. The stability of the emulsion above the concentration threshold is reinforced by an evolving interfacial solid layer resulting from the aggregation of Imo-CH3 nanotubes that is triggered by the penetration of confined oil front into the continuous phase.

Abstract
In this study, the magnetite nanoparticles were immobilized on the sepiolite needles via co-precipitation of iron ions. Then, the resulted magnetic sepiolite (mSep) nanoparticles were coated with chitosan biopolymer (Chito) in the presence of citric acid (CA) to prepare mSep@Chito core-shell drug nanocarriers (NCs). TEM images showed magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles with small sizes (less than 25 nm) on the sepiolite needles. Sunitinib anticancer drug loading efficiencies were ⁓45 and 83.7 % for the NCs with low and high content of Chito, respectively. The in-vitro drug release results exhibited that the mSep@Chito NCs have a sustained release behavior with high pH-dependent properties. Cytotoxic results (MTT assay) showed that the sunitinib-loaded mSep@Chito2 NC had a significant cytotoxic effect on the MCF-7 cell lines. Also, the in-vitro compatibility of erythrocytes, physiological stability, biodegradability, and antibacterial and antioxidant activities of NCs was evaluated. The results showed that the synthesized NCs had excellent hemocompatibility, good antioxidant properties, and were sufficiently stable and biocompatible. Based on the antibacterial data, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for mSep@Chito1, mSep@Chito2, and mSep@Chito3 were obtained as 125, 62.5, and 31.2 μg/mL towards S. aureus, respectively. All in all, the prepared NCs could be potentially used as a pH-triggered system for biomedical applications.

Abstract
We developed novel composite films based on biocompatible components, such as halloysite clay nanotubes and sulphated galactan (Funori) from red seaweed Gloiopeltis. The filling of the nanotubes within the sulphated galactan matrix was carried out by a green protocol (aqueous casting method) assuring that Funori/halloysite nanocomposites can be totally considered as sustainable materials. The amount of halloysite in the composites was systematically changed to explore the effects of the nanofiller concentration on the mesoscopic properties of the films. We observed that the halloysite content significantly affects the initial water contact angle and the light attenuation coefficient of the Funori based films. These results were interpreted according to SEM images, which showed that the surface morphologies of the nanocomposites depend on the halloysite amounts filled within the polymeric matrix. The mechanical characterization of the nanocomposites was conducted by tensile experiments performed using a linear stress ramp. Moreover, tensile tests were conducted in oscillatory regime at variable temperature to investigate the viscoelastic properties of the nanocomposites. Finally, we filled the biopolymeric matrix with halloysite nanotubes containing sodium diclofenac. The drug release kinetics from the nanocomposites at variable halloysite contents were studied to evaluate their suitability as oral dissolving films for pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
MXene is a magical class of 2D nanomaterials and emerging in many applications in diverse fields. Due to the multiple advantageous characteristics of its fundamental components, such as structural, physicochemical, optical, and occasionally even biological characteristics. However, it is limited in the biomedical industry due to poor physiological stability, decomposition rate, and lack of controlled and sustained drug release. These limitations can be overcome when MXene forms composites with other 2D materials. The efficiency of pure MXene in biomedicine is inferior to that of MXene-based composites. The availability of functionality on the exterior part of MXene has a key role in the modification of their surface and their characteristics. This review provides an extensive discussion on the synthesizing of MXene and the role of the surface functionalities on the efficiency of MXene. In addition, a detailed discussion of the biomedical applications of MXene, including antibacterial activity, regenerative medicine, CT scan capability, drug delivery, diagnostics, MRI and biosensing capability. Furthermore, an outline of the future problems and challenges of MXene-based materials for biomedical applications was narrated. Thus, these salient features showcase the potential of MXene-based material and will be a breakthrough in biomedical applications in the near future.

Abstract
Drug nano-carriers are crucial for achieving targeted treatment against cancer disorders with minimal side effects. In this study, a pH-responsive nanocomposite based on halloysite nanotube (HNT) coated with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel for controlled delivery of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), a hydrophobic chemotherapy drug prescribed for different types of cancers was synthesized for the first time using the water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) technique. The developed CMC/PEG/HNT/5-FU nanocomposite was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) to get information about the particle size, surface charge, interactions between functional groups, crystalline structure and morphology, respectively. High efficiencies in terms of drug entrapment and loading (46 % and 87 %, respectively) were attained. In-vitro drug release results revealed an improved and sustained 5-FU delivery in an acid environment compared to the physiological medium, corroborating the pH-sensitivity of the developed nano-carrier. Flow cytometry and MTT assays demonstrated that the 5-FU loaded nanocomposite had considerable cytotoxicity on MCF-7 breast cancer cells while it is not toxic against L929 fibroblast cells. The nanocomposite synthesized herein could serve as a platform for the pH-sensitive release of anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract
To meet modern society’s requirements for sustainability and environmental protection, innovative and smart surface coatings are continually being developed to improve or impart surface functional qualities and protective features. These needs regard numerous different sectors, such as cultural heritage, building, naval, automotive, environmental remediation and textiles. In this regard, researchers and nanotechnology are therefore mostly devoted to the development of new and smart nanostructured finishings and coatings featuring different implemented properties, such as anti-vegetative or antibacterial, hydrophobic, anti-stain, fire retardant, controlled release of drugs, detection of molecules and mechanical resistance. A variety of chemical synthesis techniques are usually employed to obtain novel nanostructured materials based on the use of an appropriate polymeric matrix in combination with either functional doping molecules or blended polymers, as well as multicomponent functional precursors and nanofillers. Further efforts are being made, as described in this review, to carry out green and eco-friendly synthetic protocols, such as sol–gel synthesis, starting from bio-based, natural or waste substances, in order to produce more sustainable (multi)functional hybrid or nanocomposite coatings, with a focus on their life cycle in accordance with the circular economy principles.

J Inorg Biochem 2023; 240:112099. [PMID: 36584559 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2022.112099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Studies on the immobilization of oxindolimine‑copper(II) or zinc(II) complexes [ML] in synthetic beidellite (BDL) clay were developed to obtain a suitable inorganic carrier capable of promoting the modified-release of metallopharmaceuticals. Previous investigations have shown that the studied metal complexes are promising antitumor agents, targeting DNA, mitochondria, and some proteins. They can bind to DNA, causing oxidative damage via formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In mitochondria they lead to a decrease in membrane potential, acting as decoupling agents, and therefore efficiently inducing apoptosis. Additionally, they inhibit human topoisomerase IB and cyclin dependent kinases, proteins involved in the cell cycle. BDL clays in the sodium form were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by a set of physicochemical techniques while the BDL-[ML] hybrid materials were prepared by ion exchange method. The characterization of pristine clay and the obtained hybrids were performed by Infrared, Raman, electron paramagnetic resonance and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, specific surface area, zeta potential and surface ionic charge measurements. The [ML] release assays under the same cell incubation conditions were performed monitoring metals by X-ray fluorescence. The BDL-[CuL] hybrid materials were stable and able to derail tumor HeLa cells, with corresponding IC50 values in the 0.11-0.41 mg mL-1 range. By contrast, the analogous hybrid samples of zinc(II) and the pristine BDL proved to be non-toxic facing the same cells. These results indicate a promising possibility of using synthetic beidellite as a carrier of such antitumor metal complexes.

Abstract
Montmorillonite (MMT) has been frequently utilized as drug vehicles due to its high specific surface area, excellent cation exchange capacity and biocompatibility. However, the significant flocculation of MMT under physiological condition restricted its application to drug delivery. To conquer this problem, the graft-type PEGylated chitosan (PEG-CS) adducts were synthesized as intercalator to stabilize MMT dispersion. Through electrostatic attraction between the chitosan and MMT, the PEG-CS adducts were adsorbed on MMT surfaces and intercalated into MMT. The resulting PEG-CS/MMT nanosheets possessed PEG-rich surfaces, thus showing outstanding dispersion in serum-containing environment. Moreover, the physicochemical characterization revealed that the increased mass ratio of PEG-CS to MMT led to the microstructure transition of PEG-CS/MMT nanosheets from multilayered to exfoliated structure. Interestingly, the PEG-CS/MMT nanosheets with mass ratio of 8.0 in freeze-dried state exhibited a hierarchical lamellar structure organized by the intercalated MMT bundles and unintercalated PEG-CS domains. Notably, the multilayered PEG-CS/MMT nanosheets showed the capability of loading doxorubicin (DOX) superior to the exfoliated counterparts. Importantly, the DOX@PEG-CS/MMT nanosheets endocytosed by TRAMP-C1 cells liberated the drug progressively within acidic organelles, thereby eliciting cell apoptosis. This work provides a new strategy of achieving the controllable dispersion stability of MMT nanoclays towards application potentials in drug delivery.

Abstract
Halloysite particles (HNTs) are naturally occurring aluminosilicate nanotubes of low toxicity that have shown great promise for drug and biomolecule delivery into human and animal cells. Kaolinite particles retain the same layered structure as HNT, but do not form nanotubes. In this study, the spectrophotometric and sedimentation properties of the two clays in aqueous solutions and their abilities to associate with both small and large nucleic acids have been investigated. Both clays scattered ultraviolet light strongly and this characteristic of HNT was not affected by either vacuum treatment to remove trapped gases or by sonication. Vacuum treatment increased the binding of small nucleic acids to HNT and this association was further enhanced by addition of divalent metal ions. By contrast, only small RNAs were bound efficiently by kaolinite in the presence of Mg2+ ions. Large linear double-stranded DNAs and circular plasmid DNAs bound poorly to kaolinite under all conditions, but these nucleic acids could form strong associations with HNT. Differences in binding data were largely consistent with measurements of the available surface areas of each clay. These results demonstrate that interactions with each clay are critically dependent on both the type and the conformation of each nucleic acid.

Abstract
In this work physical carrageenan/chitosan (Car/Chit) hydrogels are prepared by electrostatic complexation between the two oppositely charged polysaccharides. The hydrogels have storage moduli in the order of 5-10 kPa and swelling ratios in the order of 5000-6000 %. At conditions where both polysaccharides are highly charged (pH 5) the swelling ratios are lower than the ones at conditions of lower dissociation i.e., at pH 2 and 7 and the opposite trend is found for the storage modulus. Chit appears to act as a crosslinker for Car as increasing its concentration the swelling ratio decreases and the moduli increase. The hydrogels can incorporate the nanoclay Laponite (Lap) and form hybrid nanocomposites where the intercalation by the two biopolymers leads to exfoliation of the clay nanoplatelets in the presence of both Car and Chit. The composite hydrogels retain the mechanical properties of the Car/Chit hydrogels at the studied pH range (pH 2 to pH 7). This shows the prepared hydrogels can be potentially used as multifunctional biomaterials for drug delivery, tissue engineering and bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Adsorption of polymers on clay in aqueous solutions has wide applications in environmental, medical, and energy-related areas, but the interactions between polymers and clay under varied conditions are still not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the adsorption mechanisms of four polymers belonging to different categories, namely anionic poly(acrylic acid) (poly-AA), cationic poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (poly-DADMAC), nonionic polyacrylamide (poly-AM), and the copolymer of AA and DADMAC (poly-AADADMAC). By using molecular dynamics simulations, we compared the desorption kinetics of these polymers at different temperatures and found that poly-AA and poly-AM have the weakest and strongest adsorption abilities, respectively. Polymer adsorptions are slightly more stable at higher pressures, and high salinity favors the adsorption of charged polymers. Further analysis suggests that the adsorption of anionic poly-AA is less stable than that of cationic poly-DADMAC because the latter is attracted to the negatively charged surface by direct coulombic forces, and poly-AM is stabilized by van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. This study provides insights on how to enhance the adsorption affinity of polymers on a clay surface and may help the design or improvement of polymer/clay nanocomposite materials.

Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally aluminosilicate clay minerals that have the benefits of large surface areas, high mechanical properties, easy functionalization, and high biocompatibility, HNTs have been developed as multifunctional nanoplatforms for various bioapplications. Although some reviews have summarized the properties and bioapplications of HNTs, it remains unclear how to functionalize the modifications of HNTs for their personalized bioapplications. In this review, based on the physicochemical properties of HNTs, we summarized the methods of functionalized modifications (surface modification and structure modification) on HNTs. Also, we highlighted their personalized bioapplications (anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, cancer theranostics, bone regenerative, and biosensing) by stressing on the main roles of HNTs. Finally, we provide perspectives on the future of functionalized modifications of HNTs for docking specific biological applications.

Abstract
Over past decades, nanotechnology has contributed to the biomedical field in areas including detection, diagnosis, and drug delivery via opto-electronic properties or enhancement of biological effects. Though generally considered inert delivery vehicles, a plethora of past and present evidence demonstrates that nanomaterials also exude unique intrinsic biological activity based on composition, shape, and surface functionalization. These intrinsic biological activities, termed self-therapeutic properties, take several forms, including mediation of cell-cell interactions, modulation of interactions between biomolecules, catalytic amplification of biochemical reactions, and alteration of biological signal transduction events. Moreover, study of biomolecule-nanomaterial interactions offers a promising avenue for uncovering the molecular mechanisms of biology and the evolution of disease. In this review, we observe the historical development, synthesis, and characterization of self-therapeutic nanomaterials. Next, we discuss nanomaterial interactions with biological systems, starting with administration and concluding with elimination. Finally, we apply this materials perspective to advances in intrinsic nanotherapies across the biomedical field, from cancer therapy to treatment of microbial infections and tissue regeneration. We conclude with a description of self-therapeutic nanomaterials in clinical trials and share our perspective on the direction of the field in upcoming years.

Abstract
Purpose The repair and treatment of infected bone defects (IBD) is a common challenge faced by orthopedic clinics, medical materials science, and tissue engineering. Methods Based on the treatment requirements of IBD, we utilized multidisciplinary knowledge from clinical medicine, medical materials science, and tissue engineering to construct a high-efficiency vancomycin sustained-release system with nanodiamond (ND) and prepare a composite scaffold. Its effect on IBD treatment was assessed from materials, cytology, bacteriology, and zoology perspectives. Results The results demonstrated that the Van-ND-45S5 scaffold exhibited an excellent antibacterial effect, biocompatibility, and osteogenesis in vitro. Moreover, an efficient animal model of IBD was established, and a Van-ND-45S5 scaffold was implanted into the IBD. Radiographic and histological analyses and bone repair-related protein expression, confirmed that the Van-ND-45S5 scaffold had good biocompatibility and osteogenic and anti-infective activities in vivo. Conclusion Collectively, our findings support that the Van-ND-45S5 scaffold is a promising new material and approach for treating IBD with good antibacterial effects, biocompatibility, and osteogenesis.

Engineered Nanoparticles, Natural Nanoclay and Biochar, as Carriers of Plant-Growth Promoting Bacteria. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:4474. [PMID: 36558327 PMCID: PMC9783841 DOI: 10.3390/nano12244474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The potential of biochar and nanoparticles to serve as effective delivery agents for beneficial bacteria to crops was investigated. Application of nanoparticles and biochar as carriers for beneficial bacteria improved not only the amount of nitrogen-fixing and phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria in soil, but also improved chlorophyll content (1.2-1.3 times), cell viability (1.1-1.5 times), and antioxidative properties (1.1-1.4 times) compared to control plants. Treatments also improved content of phosphorus (P) (1.1-1.6 times) and nitrogen (N) (1.1-1.4 times higher) in both tomato and watermelon plants. However, the effect of biochars and nanoparticles were species-specific. For example, chitosan-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles with adsorbed bacteria increased the phosphorus content in tomato by 1.2 times compared to a 1.1-fold increase when nanoclay with adsorbed bacteria was applied. In watermelon, the situation was reversed: 1.1-fold increase in the case of chitosan-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles and 1.2 times in case of nanoclay with adsorbed bacteria. Our findings demonstrate that use of nanoparticles and biochar as carriers for beneficial bacteria significantly improved plant growth and health. These findings are useful for design and synthesis of novel and sustainable biofertilizer formulations.

Nano-Clays for Cancer Therapy: State-of-the Art and Future Perspectives. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12101736. [PMID: 36294875 PMCID: PMC9605470 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12101736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
To date, cancer continues to be one of the deadliest diseases. Current therapies are often ineffective, leading to the urgency to develop new therapeutic strategies to improve treatments. Conventional chemotherapeutics are characterized by a reduced therapeutic efficacy, as well as them being responsible for important undesirable side effects linked to their non-specific toxicity. In this context, natural nanomaterials such as clayey mineral nanostructures of various shapes (flat, tubular, spherical and fibrous) with adjustable physico-chemical and morphological characteristics are emerging as systems with extraordinary potential for the delivery of different therapeutic agents to tumor sites. Thanks to their submicron size, high specific surface area, high adsorption capacity, chemical inertia and multilayer organization of 0.7 to 1 nm-thick sheets, they have aroused considerable interest among the scientific community as nano systems that are highly biocompatible in cancer therapy. In oncology, the nano-clays usually studied are halloysite, bentonite, laponite, kaolinite, montmorillonite and sepiolite. These are multilayered minerals that can act as nanocarriers (with a drug load generally between 1 and 10% by weight) for improved stabilization, efficient transport and the sustained and controlled release of a wide variety of anticancer agents. In particular, halloysite, montmorillonite and kaolinite are used to improve the dissolution of therapeutic agents and to delay and/or direct their release. In this review, we will examine and expose to the scientific community the extraordinary potential of nano-clays as unique crystalline systems in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Nanoclays have been developed as drug delivery systems, but their mechanisms of DOX delivery are unclear. Herein, unmodified nanoclays (halloysite, kaolinite, montmorillonite) were comprehensively studied on their in vitro binding and release mechanisms of DOX from both experimental and theoretical aspects. These nanoclays with high loading capacity (>50%) and encapsulation efficiency capacity (>90%) of DOX are attributed to the exposed hydroxyl groups and the Lewis base sites on the surfaces. Density functional theory calculations also confirmed that DOX is preferentially adsorbed on the Al-OH surfaces while adsorption on Si-O surfaces is limited. Besides this, the pH-responsive profiles of DOX release from nanoclays are related to the protonation of negatively charged nanoclays in weakly acidic solutions that makes it easier to dissociate with positively charged DOX. The in-depth mechanistic method in this work is widely applicable and demonstrates that nanoclays can be used as efficient nanocarriers for more biomedical applications.

Abstract
Chelation is considered the best method for detoxification by promoting excretion of actinides (Am, Np, Pu, Th, U) from the human body after internal contamination. Chemical agents that possess carboxylic acid or hydroxypyridinonate groups play a vital role in actinide decorporation. In this review article, we provide considerable background details on the chelation chemistry of actinides with an aim to formulate better decorporation agents. Nanocarriers for pulmonary delivery represent an exciting prospect in the development of novel therapies for actinide decorporation that both reduce toxic side effects of the agent and improve its retention in the body. Recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of using a nebulizer or an inhaler to administer chelating agents for the decorporation of actinides. Effective chelation therapy with large groups of internally contaminated people can be a challenge unless both the agent and the nanocarrier are readily available from strategic national stockpiles for radiological or nuclear emergencies. Sunflower lecithin is particularly adept at alleviating the burden of administration when used to form liposomes as a nanocarrier for pulmonary delivery of diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid (DTPA) or hydroxypyridinone (HOPO). Better physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models must be developed for each agent in order to minimize the frequency of multiple doses that can overload the emergency response operations.

Abstract
Purpose Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are a versatile and highly investigated clay mineral due to their natural availability, low cost, strong mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and binding properties. The present work explores its role for retarding and controlling the drug release from the composite polymer matrix material. Methods For this purpose, nanocomposite films comprising propranolol HCl and different concentrations of HNTs were formulated using the “solution casting method”. The menthol in a concentration of 1% w/v was used as a permeation enhancer, and its effect on release and permeation was also determined. Quality characteristics of the nanocomposite were determined, and in vitro release and permeation studies were performed using the Franz diffusion system. The data was analyzed using various mathematical models and permeation parameters. Optimized formulation was also subjected to skin irritation test, FTIR, DSC, and SEM study. Systemic absorption and disposition of propranolol HCl from the nanocomposites were predicted using the GastroPlus TCAT® model. Results The control in drug release rate was associated with the higher concentration of HNTs. F8 released 50% of propranolol within 8 hours (drug, HNTs ratio, 1:2). The optimized formulation (F6) with drug: HNTs (2:1), exhibited drug release 80% in 4 hours, with maximum flux of 145.812 µg/cm2hr. The optimized formulation was found to be a non-irritant for skin with a shelf life of 35.46 months (28–30 ℃). The in silico model predicted Cmax, Tmax, AUCt, and AUCinf as 32.113 ng/mL, 16.58 h, 942.34 ng/mL×h, and 1102.9 ng/mL×h, respectively. Conclusion The study demonstrated that HNTs could be effectively used as rate controlling agent in matrix type transdermal formulations.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering has come on the scene to overcome the difficulties of the current treatment strategies. By combining biomaterials, active agents and growth factors, cells and nanomaterials, tissue engineering makes it possible to create new structures that enhance bone regeneration. Herein, hyaluronic acid and alginate were used to create biologically active hydrogels, and montmorillonite nanoclay was used to reinforce and stabilize them. The developed scaffolds were found to be biocompatible and osteogenic with mMSCs in vitro, especially those reinforced with the nanoclay, and allowed mineralization even in the absence of differentiation media. Moreover, an in vivo investigation was performed to establish the potential of the hydrogels to mend bone and act as cell-carriers and delivery platforms for SDF-1. Scaffolds embedded with SDF-1 exhibited the highest percentages of bone regeneration as well as of angiogenesis, which confirms the suitability of the scaffolds for bone. Although there are a number of obstacles to triumph over, these bioengineered structures showed potential as future bone regeneration treatments.

Abstract
Nanobioconjugates are nanoscale drug delivery vehicles that have been conjugated to or decorated with biologically active targeting ligands. These targeting ligands can be antibodies, peptides, aptamers, or small molecules such as vitamins or hormones. Most research studies in this field have been devoted to targeting cancer. Moreover, the nanostructures can be designed with an additional level of targeting by being designed to be stimulus-responsive or "smart" by a judicious choice of materials to be incorporated into the hybrid nanostructures. This stimulus could be an acidic pH, raised temperature, enzyme, ultrasound, redox potential, an externally applied magnetic field, or laser irradiation. In this case, the smart capability can increase the accumulation at the tumor site or the on-demand drug release, while the ligand ensures selective binding to the tumor cells. The present review highlights some interesting studies classified according to the nanostructure material. These materials include natural substances (polysaccharides), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (and halloysite nanotubes), metal-organic frameworks and covalent-organic frameworks, metal nanoparticles (gold and silver), and polymeric micelles.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 812:152222.

Abstract
The performance and mechanism of denitrification enhanced by three clay minerals, montmorillonite (Mmt), illite and kaolinite, were first studied. Batch experiments indicated that clay minerals significantly enhanced denitrification at certain concentrations (0.1-1 g/L). The denitrification rate with 1 g/L Mmt was increased by 5.0-fold. The mechanism of clay minerals promoting denitrification was analyzed from three aspects: electron transfer characteristics, interfacial interaction and metabolism activity. Electrochemical tests showed that the clay minerals promoted electron transfer rate by improving current efficiency and electronic accommodation capacity. The biofilm formation on the clay minerals interface indicated that micro-domain catalytic phases were formed, which was beneficial to improve the nitrate reduction rate. In addition, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase activities in Mmt-supplemented system were increased by 283.3%, 128.1% and 126.2%, respectively; and extracellular polymeric substance secretion was enhanced, indicating that the addition of clay minerals promoted microbial metabolic activity. Higher microbial diversity and enrichment of electroactive bacteria were observed in the Mmt-supplemented system. Based on the above exploration, the multifaceted synergistic mechanism was proposed to account for the enhanced denitrification performance on clay minerals. Overall, this study expanded understanding of the roles of clay minerals on denitrification and provided strategies for accelerating the biological transformation process.

Abstract
Inorganic materials can provide a set of tools to decontaminate solid, liquid or air containing viral particles. The use of disinfectants can be limited or not practical in scenarios where continuous cleaning is not feasible. Physicochemical differences between viruses raise the need for effective formulations for all kind of viruses. In the present work we describe two types of antimicrobial inorganic materials: i) a novel soda-lime glass (G3), and ii) kaolin containing metals nanoparticles (Ag or CuO), as materials to disable virus infectivity. Strong antiviral properties can be observed in G3 glass, and kaolin-containing nanoparticle materials showing a reduction of viral infectivity close to 99%. in the first 10 min of contact of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). A potent virucidal activity is also present in G3 and kaolin containing Ag or CuO nanoparticles against all kinds of viruses tested, reducing more than 99% the amount of HSV-1, Adenovirus, VSV, Influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 exposed to them. Virucidal properties could be explained by a direct interaction of materials with viruses as well as inactivation by the presence of virucidal elements in the material lixiviates. Kaolin-based materials guarantee a controlled release of active nanoparticles with antiviral activity. Current coronavirus crisis highlights the need for new strategies to remove viruses from contaminated areas. We propose these low-cost inorganic materials as useful disinfecting antivirals in the actual or future pandemic threats.
