[PMID: 35337167 PMCID: PMC8951268 DOI: 10.3390/ph15030370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Intranasal delivery is an alternative administration route to deliver levodopa (L-Dopa) to the brain. This drug delivery route offers high drug permeability across the nasal epithelium and rapid absorption into the central nervous system (CNS) while bypassing first-pass metabolism. In this study, we developed a library of polymeric nanocarrier systems for L-Dopa utilising poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and chitosan. A total of three PLGA nanoparticles formulations (P1, P2 and P3) were prepared using a modified water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) solvent evaporation technique, while four formulations of chitosan nanoparticles (C1, C2, C3 and C4) were prepared by ionic gelation method with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a cross-linking agent. Upon characterising nanocarriers developed, it was discovered that C2 demonstrated the best results with regard to droplet size (553 ± 52 nm), polydispersity index (0.522), zeta potential (+46.2 ± 2.3 mV), and encapsulation efficiency (82.38% ± 1.63). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) further corroborated the particle size analysis highlighting that C2 displayed uniform particle size with spherical morphology. Additionally, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) revealed that C2 was in an amorphous state while Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis showed that there were no chemical interactions that might change the chemical structure of L-Dopa within the polymeric nanoparticle matrix. Lastly, an in-vivo intranasal study in male Wistar rats showed that the absorption of L-Dopa when formulated as chitosan nanoparticles was significantly enhanced (p < 0.05) by approximately two-fold compared to unmodified L-Dopa. Therefore, this work illustrates that formulating L-Dopa into chitosan nanoparticles for intranasal delivery is a potentially viable formulation strategy to improve the bioavailability of the drug for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-structuring aimed at the acetic acid (A) transporter on intestinal epithelial cells and tumor cells is a new potential strategy to enhance oral bioavailability and anti-tumor efficacy. In this study, chitosan (CS) was modified with hydrophilic A and hydrophobic lipoic acid (L), to produce ACSL. A novel ACSL-modified multifunctional liposomes (Lip) loaded with docetaxel (DTX; DTX-ACSL-Lip) was then prepared and characterized. DTX-ACSL-Lip recorded higher pH sensitivity and slower release than DTX-Lip and showed dithiothreitol (DTT) response release. DTX-ACSL-Lip uptake by Caco-2 cells was also significantly enhanced mainly viaA transporters compared with DTX-Lip. ACSL modification of DTX-Lip also improved oral bioavailability by 10.70-folds, with a 3.45-fold increase in Cmax and a 1.19-fold prolongation in retention time of DTX in the blood. Moreover, the grafting degree of A significantly affected cell uptake and oral bioavailability. They also showed a significant (1.33-fold) increase in drug intratumoral distribution, as well as an increase in tumor growth inhibition rate from 54.34% to 87.51% without weight loss, compared with DTX-Lip. Therefore, modification of DTX-Lip with ACSL can significantly enhance the oral bioavailability and anti-tumor efficacy of DTX without obvious toxicity, confirming the potential of the dual strategy of targeting A transporter and controlled drug release in tumor cells in oral therapy of tumor.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to encapsulate resveratrol (RV) in trimethyl chitosan (TMC) nanoparticles cross-linked with tripolyphosphate (TPP) and/or alginate to achieve controlled release and improved cellular uptake. TMC (degree of quaternization of 78%) was prepared by reacting purified chitosan with iodomethane. Three types of RV-loaded TMC nanoparticles were prepared: TMC-TPP (TP-NPs), TMC-alginate (TA-NPs), and TMC-alginate-TPP (TAP-NPs). TA-NPs and TAP-NPs showed lower particle size and encapsulation efficiency (EE), better distribution, and more sustained release than TP-NPs due to the high molecular weight and viscous property of alginate. Caco-2 cellular uptake of RV was improved by TMC nanoencapsulation, and TP-NPs showed the highest uptake due to its significantly higher EE. Compared with TAP-NPs, TA-NPs with higher positive surface charge showed higher cellular uptake. Moreover, Caco-2 cell growth-inhibiting activity of RV was significantly increased by TMC nanoencapsulation and TP-NPs showed the significantly highest activity with a good agreement with the permeability results.

Abstract
The possibility of genipin-crosslinked O-carboxymethyl chitosan–gum Arabic coacervate as a pH-sensitive delivery vehicle was investigated. O-carboxymethyl chitosan–gum Arabic coacervates separated in pH 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 were crosslinked by genipin for different durations and the crosslinked products were subjected to crosslinking degree, swelling behavior, bovine serum albumin release profile, and microstructure characterization. Genipin-crosslinking greatly improved the stability of the coacervates against the simulated gastric solution and created certain pH-sensitivity. The coacervates displayed higher swelling ratios in the simulated gastric solution than in the simulated intestine and colon solutions; meanwhile, the coacervates prepared in pH 4.5 and 6.0 swelled more severely than the complex separated in pH 3.0. Nevertheless, the bovine serum albumin release in the simulated gastric solution from the microcapsules prepared in pH 6.0 was much lower than those prepared in pH 4.5 and 3.0, whose cumulative release percentages in the three simulated solutions were 17.14%, 55.23%, and 79.79%, respectively, in crosslinking duration 2 h. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that genipin-crosslinking improved the regularity and compactness of coacervate structure, whereas confocal laser scanning microscopy observation indicated that O-carboxymethyl chitosan content was possibly the major reason for the different swelling and bovine serum albumin release behavior of the coacervates. It was concluded that the genipin-crosslinked O-carboxymethyl chitosan–gum Arabic coacervate was a potential intestine-targeted delivery system and its delivery performance could be tailored by varying the crosslinking degree and coacervation acidity.
