Abstract
Long chain fatty acids in the colon play important roles in infant development. This study aimed to establish a colon-targeted long chain fatty acid release system in rat pups, with linoleic acid (LA) as the target model. LA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (LA-CS NPs) synthesized via ionic crosslinkage showed spherical surface morphology and favorable encapsulation efficiency (84.96 %). In vivo distribution studies of LA-CS NPs demonstrated a significant increase in LA concentration in the colonic content after a 12-hour administration period. Additionally, oral administration of the delivery system (CS NPs: 18 μg/g/d, LA-CS NPs: 24 μg/g/d) exhibited no detrimental effects on the health of rat pups. In conclusion, this study presents a promising strategy for the targeted delivery of fatty acid to the colon in rat pups.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur), the major bioactive component of turmeric (Curcuma longa) possesses many health benefits. However, low solubility, stability and bioavailability restricts its applications in food. Recently, nanocarriers such as complex coacervates, nanocapsules, liposomes, nanoparticles, nanomicelles, have been used as novel strategies to solve these problems. In this review, we have focused on the delivery systems responsive to the environmental stimuli such as pH-responsive, enzyme-responsive, targeted-to-specific cells or tissues, mucus-penetrating and mucoadhesive carriers. Besides, the metabolites and their biodistribution of Cur and Cur delivery systems are discussed. Most importantly, the interaction between Cur and their carriers with gut microbiota and their effects of modulating the gut health synergistically were discussed comprehensively. In the end, the biocompatibility of Cur delivery systems and the feasibility of their application in food industry is discussed. This review provided a comprehensive review of Cur nanodelivery systems, the health impacts of Cur nanocarriers and an insight into the application of Cur nanocarriers in food industry.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin (FUC) is a hydrophobic carotenoid that has a protective effect on the colon. To exert the beneficial effects of FUC in the colon and expand its application in functional food, FUC was encapsulated in carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan (CMKGM)-coated gliadin nanoparticles (Gli-CMKGM NPs) in this paper. Gli-CMKGM NPs were prepared at pH 5.0 with Gli/CMKGM mass ratio of 1:1. The formation of Gli-CMKGM NPs was associated with hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic attractions. Additionally, Gli-CMKGM NPs exhibited good stability to pH, salt, heating and storage. The results showed that FUC had been successfully encapsulated in Gli-CMKGM NPs, and the encapsulation efficiency of FUC-Gli-CMKGM NPs was significantly higher than that of uncoated FUC-Gli NPs. FUC-Gli-CMKGM NPs had a nano-spherical structure, and embedded FUC in Gli-CMKGM NPs improved their stabilities to photodegradation and thermal degradation. Furthermore, in vitro release and in vivo organ distribution studies showed that FUC-Gli-CMKGM NPs had an excellent colon targeting function. Overall, our findings illustrated the promise of CMKGM-coated Gli NPs for constructing targeted delivery systems for FUC.

Abstract
CONTEXT Curcumin (Cur) has a short duration of action which limits its therapeutic efficacy. Carbonic acid 17-(1,5-dimethyl-hexyl)-10,13-dimethyl-2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-tetradecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-yl ester 4-[7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-phenyl)-3,5-dioxo-hepta-1,6-dienyl]-2-methoxy-phenyl ester (CUD), as a small molecule derivative of Cur with superior stability, has been developed in our laboratory. OBJECTIVE CUD-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (CUD-SLN) were prepared to prolong the duration of the drug action of Cur. MATERIALS AND METHODS CUD-SLN were prepared with Poloxamer 188 (F68) and hydrogenated soybean phospholipids (HSPC) as carriers, and the prescription was optimized. The in vitro release of CUD and CUD-SLN was investigated. CUD-SLN (5 mg/kg) was injected into Sprague Dawley (SD) rats to investigate its pharmacokinetic behaviour. RESULTS CUD-SLN features high entrapment efficiency (96.8 ± 0.4%), uniform particle size (113.0 ± 0.8 nm), polydispersity index (PDI) (0.177 ± 0.007) and an appropriate drug loading capacity (6.2 ± 0.1%). Optimized CUD-SLN exhibited sustained release of CUD for about 48 h. Moreover, the results of the pharmacokinetic studies showed that, compared to Cur, CUD-SLN had a considerably prolonged half-life of 14.7 h, slowed its metabolism in vivo by 35.6-fold, and had an improved area under the curve (AUC0-t) of 37.0-fold. CONCLUSIONS CUD-SLN is a promising preparation for the development of a small molecule derivative of Cur.

Abstract
Oral colon-targeted delivery systems (OCDSs) have attracted great attention in the delivery of active compounds targeted to the colon for the treatment of colon and non-colon diseases with the advantages of enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects. Chitosan, the second-most abundant biopolymer next to cellulose, has great biocompatibility, is non-toxic, is sensitive to colonic flora and shows strong adhesion to colonic mucus, making it an ideal biomaterial candidate for the construction of OCDSs. Being rich in functional groups, the chitosan structure is easily modified, both physically and chemically, for the fabrication of delivery systems with diverse geometries, including nanoparticles, microspheres/microparticles, and hydrogels, that are resistant to the harsh environment of the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT). This review offers a detailed overview of the preparation of chitosan-based delivery systems as the basis for building OCDSs. A variety of natural polyphenols with potent biological activities are used to treat diseases of the colon, or to be metabolized as active ingredients by colonic microorganisms to intervene in remote organ diseases after absorption into the circulation. However, the poor solubility of polyphenols limits their application, and the acidic environment of the upper GIT and various enzymes in the small intestine disrupt their structure and activity. As a result, the development of OCDSs for polyphenols has become an emerging and popular area of current research in the past decade. Thus, the second objective of this review is to systematically summarize the most recent research findings in this area and shed light on the future development of chitosan-based OCDSs for nutritional and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Amongst assorted regio-selective and targeted oral drug delivery strategies accepted for the gastro-retentive drug delivery system (GRDDS), the floating drug delivery system (FDDS) holds a major share as clinically accepted formulations. The major objective of the present investigation was to explore the silk industry waste protein, silk fibroin (SF) as a possible electrospun nanocarrier for the FDDS. In a nutshell, electrospinning (ES) is one of the flexible and astonishing strategies for the fabrication of porous electrospun nanofibers (NFs), which offers the potential to amend the floating profile, dissolution rate, solubility, and release patterns of the drug, etc as per compendial requirements. Looking at the prospects of floating SF-NFs preparation, we have isolated and lyophilized the SF from industrial waste cocoons and prepared drug-loaded SF single polymer nanofibers (SPN). Lafutidine (LF) being a good candidate for GRDDS selected as a model drug, which is an excellent proton pump inhibitor, mainly used in the treatment of gastric ulcers. Finally, the obtained LF loaded SF-NFs (LF-SF-NFs) were successfully analyzed for physicochemical characteristics, porosity, swelling index, antioxidant activity, mucoadhesion strength, floating properties, enzymatic degradation, and accelerated stability study, etc. Further, these LF-SF-NFs were evaluated for percent drug content, weight variation, in-vitro dissolution in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid (HCl, pH:1.2) and fasted state simulated gastric fluid (FSSGF), and accelerated stability study. It has shown significant floating time >18 h, about 99% ± 0.58% floating buoyancy with sustained release up to 24 h. LF-SF-NFs showed good compatibility, entrapment efficiency, antioxidant activity, mucoadhesion strength, enzymatic degradation, and long term stability. Soon, the essential floating and drug release profiles can claim single polymer (SF) based electrospun protein NFs as a possible novel oral nanocarrier for FDDS.

Abstract
COVID-19, a disease induced by SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2), has been the cause of a worldwide pandemic. Though extensive research works have been reported in recent days on the development of effective therapeutics against this global health crisis, there is still no approved therapy against SARS-CoV-2. In the present study, plant-synthesized secondary metabolites (PSMs) have been prioritized to make a review focusing on the efficacy of plant-originated therapeutics for the treatment of COVID-19. Plant metabolites are a source of countless medicinal compounds, while the diversity of multidimensional chemical structures has made them superior to treat serious diseases. Some have already been reported as promising alternative medicines and lead compounds for drug repurposing and discovery. The versatility of secondary metabolites may provide novel antibiotics to tackle MDR (Multi-Drug Resistant) microbes too. This review attempted to find out plant metabolites that have the therapeutic potential to treat a wide range of viral pathogens. The study includes the search of remedies belonging to plant families, susceptible viral candidates, antiviral assays, and the mode of therapeutic action; this attempt resulted in the collection of an enormous number of natural therapeutics that might be suggested for the treatment of COVID-19. About 219 plants from 83 families were found to have antiviral activity. Among them, 149 plants from 71 families were screened for the identification of the major plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) that might be effective for this pandemic. Our investigation revealed that the proposed plant metabolites can serve as potential anti- SARS-CoV-2 lead molecules for further optimization and drug development processes to combat COVID-19 and future pandemics caused by viruses. This review will stimulate further analysis by the scientific community and boost antiviral plant-based research followed by novel drug designing.

Abstract
The yellow pigment curcumin, extracted from turmeric, is a renowned polyphenol with a broad spectrum of health properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, anti-allergic, anti-dermatophyte, and neuroprotective. However, these properties are followed by a poor pharmacokinetic profile which compromises its therapeutic potential. The association of low absorption by the small intestine and the extensive reductive and conjugative metabolism in the liver dramatically weakens the oral bioavailability. Several strategies such as inhibition of curcumin metabolism with adjuvants as well as novel solid and liquid oral delivery systems have been tried to counteract curcumin poor absorption and rapid elimination from the body. Some of these drug deliveries can successfully enhance the solubility, extending the residence in plasma, improving the pharmacokinetic profile and the cellular uptake.
