Abstract
ObjectiveThe aim was to develop matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) responsive nanoparticle system for the delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5Fu) anticancer drug.SignificanceThe MMP1 in the cancer microenvironment induced drug release have advantage of targeted drug release and reduce the distribution of drug to the healthy tissuesMethodG5 polyamidoamine PAMAM dendrimer (G5) coated gold nanoparticles were synthesized and loaded with 5Fu. The drug loaded nanoparticles were further coated with collagen I (Col-I) peptide which is a substrate for MMP1 enzyme (Col-I 5Fu@G5AuNP).ResultThe nanoparticles were highly monodispersed with a particle size of 30 nm and showed high drug encapsulation efficiency. The release of drug from the nanoparticles in HEPES buffer pH 7.4 was faster, higher and better controlled when incubated with MMP1 enzyme. The half-maximum inhibitory concentration for Col-I 5Fu@G5AuNP was eight times lower than the 5Fu against MCF-7, suggesting the improved delivery and anticancer activity of 5Fu after encapsulation in the developed enzyme-responsive nanocarrier system. The computed tomography (CT) x-ray attenuation of Col-I@G5AuNP showed a good contrasting property.ConclusionThe formulation Col-I 5Fu@G5AuNP has improved anticancer activity than free drug and the CT imaging results are promising for its theranostic applications for breast cancer.

Gold nanoparticles for skin drug delivery. Int J Pharm 2022; 625:122122. [PMID: 35987319 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.122122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug carriers are being pursued intensely to overcome the skin barrier and improve even hydrophilic or macromolecular drug delivery into or across the skin efficiently. Over the past few years, the application of gold nanoparticles as a novel kind of drug carrier for skin drug delivery has attracted increasing attention because of their unique properties and versatility. In this review, we summarized the possible factors contributing to the penetration behaviors of gold nanoparticles, including size, surface chemistry, and shape. Drug loading, release, and penetration patterns were captured towards implicating the design of gold nanoparticles for dermal or transdermal drug delivery. Physical methods applicable for future enhancing the delivery efficacy of GNPs were also presented, which mainly included microneedles and iontophoresis. As a promising "drug", the inherent activities of GNPs were finally discussed, especially regarding their application in the treatment of skin disease. Thus, this paper provided a comprehensive review of the use of gold nanoparticles for skin drug delivery, which would help the design of multifunctional systems for skin drug delivery based on gold nanoparticles.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to prepare 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-loaded biogenic gold nanoparticles with pluronic-based coating (PFGNPs), their optimization (full factorial predicted OBPN-1) and in vitro-ex vivo evaluation. Several formulations were prepared, selected for optimization using Design Expert®, and compared for morphology, 5-FU release kinetics, compatibility, cell line toxicity, in vitro hemocompatibility, and ex vivo intestinal permeation across the rat duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The pluronic-coated 5-FU-carrying GNPs were spherical, 29.11-178.21 nm in diameter, with a polydispersity index (PDI) range of 0.191-292, and a zeta potential (ZP) range of 11.19-29.21 (-mV). The optimized OBPN-1 (desirability = 0.95) demonstrated optimum size (175.1 nm), %DL as 73.8%, ZP as 21.7 mV, % drug release (DR) as 75.7%, and greater cytotoxicity (viability ~ 8.9%) against the colon cancer cell lines than 5-FU solution (~ 24.91%), and less hemocompatibility. Moreover, OBPN-1 exhibited 4.5-fold permeation across the rat jejunum compared with 5-FU solution. Thus, the PFGNPs exhibit high DL capacity, sustained delivery, hemocompatibility, improved efficacy, and enhanced permeation profiles compared with 5-FU solution and several other NPs preparations suggesting it is a promising formulation for effective colon cancer control with reduced side effects.

Abstract
The study investigated in situ biosynthesis of albumin capped 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) loaded gold nanoparticles (NPs) using bacterial extract for enhanced efficacy against MCF-7 and in silico prediction using a GastroPlus® software. The optimized formulations were characterized for morphology, size, zeta potential, drug loading (%DL) and entrapment (%EE), compatibility, in vitro drug release, in vitro hemolysis, cellular toxicity and apoptosis studies. The results exhibited highly dispersed albumin capped mono-metallic stable NPs. Spherical size, negative zeta potential and polydispersity index were in range of 38.25–249.62 nm, 18.18–29.87 mV and 0.11–0.283, respectively. F11, F7 and F3 showed a progressive increase in %DL and %EE with increased concentration of the cellular lysate (100% > 50% > 10%). The drug release was relatively extended over 48 h as compared to drug solution (96.64% release within 5 h). The hemolysis result ensured hemocompatibility (<14%) at the explored concentration. The biogenic F11 was more cytotoxic (81.99% inhibition by F11 and 72.04% by pure 5-FU) to the MCF-7 cell lines as compared to others which may be attributed to the preferential accumulation by the tumor cell and capped albumin as the source of energy to the cancer cells. Finally, GastroPlus® predicted the key factors responsible for improved pharmacokinetics parameters and regional absorption from various segments of human intestine. Thus, the approach can be more efficacious and suitable to control breast cancer when administered transdermally or orally.

Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate-Loaded Gold Nanoparticles: Preparation and Evaluation of Anticancer Efficacy in Ehrlich Tumor-Bearing Mice. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2020; 13:ph13090254. [PMID: 32961982 PMCID: PMC7559993 DOI: 10.3390/ph13090254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2020] [Revised: 09/13/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a pleiotropic compound with anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. To enhance EGCG anticancer efficacy, it was loaded onto gold nanoparticles (GNPs). EGCG-GNPs were prepared by a simple green synthesis method and were evaluated using different techniques. Hemocompatibility with human blood and in vivo anticancer efficacy in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma-bearing mice were evaluated. EGCG/gold chloride molar ratio had a marked effect on the formation and properties of EGCG-GNPs where well-dispersed spherical nanoparticles were obtained at a molar ratio not more than 0.8:1. The particle size ranged from ~26 to 610 nm. High drug encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of ~93 and 32%, respectively were obtained. When stored at 4 °C for three months, EGCG-GNPs maintained over 90% of their drug payload and had small changes in their size and zeta potential. They were non-hemolytic and had no deleterious effects on partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, and complement protein C3 concentration. EGCG-GNPs had significantly better in vivo anticancer efficacy compared with pristine EGCG as evidenced by smaller tumor volume and weight and higher mice body weight. These results confirm that EGCG-GNPs could serve as an efficient delivery system for EGCG with a good potential to enhance its anticancer efficacy.

Abstract
Taking the articular and periarticular structures as a litmus test for gold-based nanoformulations, the potential of gold nanoparticles in protecting the normal physiological functions of these structures particularly in geriatric patients is one of the research areas of current interest. Aside from its use to make the traditional and fashionable ornaments for human usage, the gold metal is also known for its rich therapeutic activity. This is especially true when the gold is converted from its bulk form into nanosized form before its administering into the human body. Since it is the age of nanocomponents in medical and pharmaceutical research areas, this review is therefore mainly focused on nanoparticulate systems consisting of aurum. Accumulating research reports nevertheless show concrete evidence indicating the potential of gold-based nanoformulations to manage joint syndromes such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This review embarks from preparation techniques and characterization methods to therapeutical application potentials of gold-based nanoformulations.

Mitochondrial Dysfunctions May Be One of the Major Causative Factors Underlying Detrimental Effects of Benzalkonium Chloride. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:8956504. [PMID: 32104543 PMCID: PMC7035552 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8956504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2019] [Revised: 12/23/2019] [Accepted: 01/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is currently the most commonly used antimicrobial preservative in ophthalmic solutions, nasal sprays, and cosmetics. However, a large number of clinical and experimental investigations showed that the topical administration of BAC-containing eye drops could cause a variety of ocular surface changes, from ocular discomfort to potential risk for future glaucoma surgery. BAC-containing albuterol may increase the risk of albuterol-related systemic adverse effects. BAC, commonly present in personal care products, in cosmetic products can induce irritation and dose-dependent changes in the cell morphology. The cationic nature of BAC (it is a quaternary ammonium) suggests that one of the major targets of BAC in the cell may be mitochondria, the only intracellular compartment charged negatively. However, the influence of BAC on mitochondria has not been clearly understood. Here, the effects of BAC on energy parameters of rat liver mitochondria as well as on yeast cells were examined. BAC, being a "weaker" uncoupler, potently inhibited respiration in state 3, diminished the mitochondrial membrane potential, caused opening of the Ca2+/Pi-dependent pore, blocked ATP synthesis, and promoted H2O2 production by mitochondria. BAC triggered oxidative stress and mitochondrial fragmentation in yeast cells. BAC-induced oxidative stress in mitochondria and yeast cells was almost totally prevented by the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SkQ1; the protective effect of SkQ1 on mitochondrial fragmentation was only partial. Collectively, these data showed that BAC acts adversely on cell bioenergetics (especially on ATP synthesis) and mitochondrial dynamics and that its prooxidant effect can be partially prevented by the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SkQ1.

Abstract
Spironolactone (SP), an aldosterone antagonist with anti-androgen properties, has shown promising results in the treatment of female acne. However, its systemic side effects limit its clinical benefits. This study aimed to prepare and evaluate LeciPlexes for SP topical delivery. LeciPlexes were prepared by a one-step procedure and characterized using various techniques. Optimum LeciPlex preparation was incorporated into 1% methylcellulose gel and SP permeability was tested ex vivo in Sprague-Dawley rat skin. The maximum drug encapsulation efficiency obtained was 93.6 ± 6.9% and was dependent on the drug/phospholipid and surfactant/phospholipid ratios. A zeta potential of +49.3 ± 3.5 to +57.7 ± 3.3 mV and a size of 108 ± 25.3 to 668.5 ± 120.3 nm were observed for the LeciPlexes. FT-IR and DSC studies confirmed the incorporation of SP into the LeciPlexes through hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. SP release from the LeciPlex formulations was significantly slower than from the drug suspension. Cumulative SP permeated through rat skin from LeciPlex gel was about 2-fold higher than SP control gel. Cumulative SP deposited in the stratum corneum and other skin layers from the LeciPlex gel was about 1.8- and 2.6-fold higher than SP control gel, respectively. This new SP LeciPlex formulation is a promising carrier for the treatment of female acne.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the most promising and studied inorganic nanomaterials for different biomedical applications. Plasmonic NPs have excellent biocompatibility, long-term stability against physical and chemical degradation, relevant optical properties, well-known synthesis methods and tuneable surface functionalities. Herein, we review recently reported bioconjugated plasmonic NPs using different chemical approaches and loading cargoes (such as drugs, genes, and proteins) for enhancement of transdermal delivery across biological tissues. The main aim is to understand the interaction of the complex skin structure with biomimetic plasmonic NPs. This knowledge is not only important in enhancing transdermal delivery of pharmaceutical formulations but also for controlling undesired skin penetration of industrial products, such as cosmetics, sunscreen formulations and any other mass-usage consumable that contains plasmonic NPs.

Abstract
Rilpivrine is BCS class II drug used for treatment of HIV infection. The drug has low aqueous solubility (0.0166 mg/ml) and dissolution rate leading to low bioavailability (32%). Aim of this work was to enhance solubility and dissolution of rilpivirine using beta-cyclodextrin-based nanosponges. These nanosponges are biocompatible nanoporous particles having high loading capacity to form supramolecular inclusion and non-inclusion complexes with hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs for solubility enhancement. Beta-cyclodextrin was crosslinked with carbonyl diimidazole and pyromellitic dianhydride to prepare nanosponges. The nanosponges were loaded with rilpivirine by solvent evaporation method. Binary and ternary complexes of drug with β-CD, HP-β-CD, nanosponges, and tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate were prepared and characterized by phase solubility, saturation solubility in different media, in vitro dissolution, and in vivo pharmacokinetics. Spectral analysis by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry was performed. Results obtained from spectral characterization confirmed inclusion complexation. Phase solubility studies indicated stable complex formation. Saturation solubility was found to be 10-13-folds higher with ternary complexes in distilled water and 12-14-fold higher in 0.1 N HCl. Solubility enhancement was evident in biorelevant media. Molecular modeling studies revealed possible mode of entrapment of rilpivirine within β-CD cavities. A 3-fold increase in dissolution with ternary complexes was observed. Animal studies revealed nearly 2-fold increase in oral bioavailability of rilpivirine. It was inferred that electronic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals forces are involved in the supramolecular interactions.

Abstract
Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an antimetabolite drug used in the treatment of various malignancies, such as colon and skin cancers. However, its systemic administration results in severe side effects. Topical 5-FU delivery for the treatment of skin cancer could circumvent these shortcomings, but it is limited by the drug poor permeability through the skin. To enhance 5-FU efficacy against skin cancer and reduce its systemic side effects, it was loaded into a gold nanoparticle (GNP)-based topical delivery system. 5-FU was loaded onto GNPs capped with CTAB through ionic interactions between 5-FU and CTAB. GNPs were prepared at different 5-FU/CTAB molar ratios and evaluated using different techniques. GNP stability and drug release were studied as a function of salt concentration and solution pH. Optimum 5-FU/CTAB-GNPs were incorporated into gel and cream bases, and their ex vivo permeability was evaluated in mice dorsal skin. The in vivo anticancer efficacy of the same preparations was evaluated in A431 tumor-bearing mice. The GNPs had spherical shape and a size of ∼16-150 nm. Maximum 5-FU entrapment was achieved at 5-FU/CTAB molar ratio of 1:1 and pH 11.5. Drug release from GNPs was sustained and pH-dependent. 5-FU GNP gel and cream had around 2-fold higher permeability through mice skin compared with free 5-FU gel and cream formulations. Further, in vivo studies in a mouse model having A431 skin cancer cells implanted in the subcutaneous space showed that the GNP gel and cream achieved 6.8- and 18.4-fold lower tumor volume compared with the untreated control, respectively. These results confirm the potential of topical 5-FU/CTAB-GNPs to enhance drug efficacy against skin cancer.
