Drastic differences between the release kinetics of two highly related porphyrins in liposomal membranes: mTHPP and pTHPP. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 651:750-759. [PMID: 37572612 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.07.152] [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: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The release of hydrophobic compounds from liposomal membranes occurs by partitioning and is thus determined by the physicochemical properties (e.g. logP and water solubility) of the drug. We postulate that even minor structural differences, e.g. the position of the phenolic OH-group of the hydrophobic porphyrins mTHPP and pTHPP (meta vs. para substitution), distinctly affect their partitioning and release behavior from liposomes. EXPERIMENTS The release and redistribution of mTHPP and pTHPP from lecithin or POPC/POPG liposomes to different acceptor particles (DSPE-mPEG micelles and liposomes) was studied by asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation to separate donor and acceptor particles. Reversed phase HPLC was applied to detect differences in partitioning. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to obtain molecular insight in the different behavior of the two compounds inside a lipid bilayer. FINDINGS Despite the minor differences in chemical structure, mTHPP is more hydrophobic and redistributes much slower to both acceptor phases than pTHPP. MD simulations indicate that compared to pTHPP, mTHPP makes stronger hydrogen bonds with the lipid head groups, is oriented more parallel to the lipid tails and is embedded slightly deeper in the membrane.

Thermosensitive liposomes encapsulating hypericin: Characterization and photodynamic efficiency. Int J Pharm 2021; 609:121195.

Abstract
The potent photodynamic properties of Hypericin (Hyp) elicit a range of light-dose-dependent anti-tumor activities. However, its low water solubility hampers its broad application. Therefore, the administration of Hyp into biological systems requires drug carriers that would enable sufficient bioavailability. Stimuli-triggered nanocarriers, which are sensitive to endogenous or exogenous stimuli, have become an attractive replacement for conventional therapeutic regimens. Herein, we produced optimized Hyp thermosensitive liposomes (Hyp-TSL), self-assembled from DPPC, DSPC, DSPE-PEG2000. Hyp-TSL displayed a hydrodynamic diameter below 100 nm with an adequate encapsulation efficiency of 94.5 % and good colloidal stability. Hyp-TSL exhibited thermal sensitivity over a narrow range with a phase transition temperature of 41.1 °C, in which liposomal destruction was evident in AFM images after elevated temperature above the phase transition temperature. The uptake of TSL-Hyp into MDA-MB-231 cells was significantly increased with hyperthermic treatment of 42 °C when compared to the uptake at a average physiological temperature of 37 °C. Consequent enhancement of cellular reactive oxygen species was observed after hyperthermic treatment at 42 °C. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration of Hyp TSL was reduced by 3.8 fold after hyperthermic treatment at 42 °C in comparison to treatment at 37 °C. Hyp-TSL were considered safe for intravenous applications as compared by hemocompatibility studies, where coagulation time was <50 s and hemolytic potential was <10%. Conclusively, the enhancement in tumor drug availability correlated with improved therapeutic outcomes.

Chimeric Stimuli-Responsive Liposomes as Nanocarriers for the Delivery of the Anti-Glioma Agent TRAM-34. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22126271. [PMID: 34200955 PMCID: PMC8230631 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22126271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Nanocarriers are delivery platforms of drugs, peptides, nucleic acids and other therapeutic molecules that are indicated for severe human diseases. Gliomas are the most frequent type of brain tumor, with glioblastoma being the most common and malignant type. The current state of glioma treatment requires innovative approaches that will lead to efficient and safe therapies. Advanced nanosystems and stimuli-responsive materials are available and well-studied technologies that may contribute to this effort. The present study deals with the development of functional chimeric nanocarriers composed of a phospholipid and a diblock copolymer, for the incorporation, delivery and pH-responsive release of the antiglioma agent TRAM-34 inside glioblastoma cells. Nanocarrier analysis included light scattering, protein incubation and electron microscopy, and fluorescence anisotropy and thermal analysis techniques were also applied. Biological assays were carried out in order to evaluate the nanocarrier nanotoxicity in vitro and in vivo, as well as to evaluate antiglioma activity. The nanosystems were able to successfully manifest functional properties under pH conditions, and their biocompatibility and cellular internalization were also evident. The chimeric nanoplatforms presented herein have shown promise for biomedical applications so far and should be further studied in terms of their ability to deliver TRAM-34 and other therapeutic molecules to glioblastoma cells.

Abstract
In this study, liposome and transfersome were successfully constructed using molecular dynamics simulation. Three drugs with different polarity, including 5-fluorouracil, ligustrazine, and osthole, were selected as model drugs to study the distribution of drugs in lipid vesicles by calculating the radial distribution function and the potential of mean force. The solubility parameters between drugs and different regions in lipid vesicles were calculated to characterize the compatibility of drugs in different regions in lipid vesicles, which provided the basis for the conclusion of this paper. It showed that the radial distribution function and the potential of mean force were consistent in the characterization of drug distribution in vesicles, and the drug distribution in vesicles was closely related to the compatibility between drugs and vesicles. Therefore, the radial distribution function and the potential of mean force can be used to characterize the distribution of drugs in vesicles, and molecular simulation technology has a great potential in studying the characteristics of vesicles.

Abstract
Various bioactive ingredients have been extracted from Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) that affect tumor progression and metastasis. To further understand the mechanisms of CHMs in cancer therapy, this article summarizes the effects of five categories of CHMs and their active ingredients on tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment. Despite their treatment potential, the undesirable physicochemical properties (poor permeability, instability, high hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity, toxicity) and unwanted pharmacokinetic profiles (short half-life in blood and low bioavailability) restrict clinical studies of CHMs. Therefore, development of liposomes through relevant surface modifying techniques to achieve targeted CHM delivery for cancer cells, i.e., extracellular and intracellular targets and targets in tumor microenvironment or vasculature, have been reviewed. Current challenges of liposomal targeting of these phytoconstituents and future perspective of CHM applications are discussed to provide an informative reference for interested readers.

Abstract
Clofazimine is an orally administered, FDA-approved drug that massively bioaccumulates in macrophages, forming membrane-bound intracellular structures possessing nanoscale supramolecular features. Here, a library of phenazine compounds derived from clofazimine was synthesized and tested for their ability to accumulate and form ordered molecular aggregates inside cells. Regardless of chemical structure or physicochemical properties, bioaccumulation was consistently greater in macrophages than in epithelial cells. Microscopically, some self-assembled structures exhibited a pronounced, diattenuation anisotropy signal, evident by the differential absorption of linearly polarized light, at the peak absorbance wavelength of the phenazine core. The measured anisotropy was well above the background anisotropy of endogenous cellular components, reflecting the self-assembly of condensed, insoluble complexes of ordered phenazine molecules. Chemical variations introduced at the R-imino position of the phenazine core led to idiosyncratic effects on the compounds' bioaccumulation behavior, as well as on the morphology and organization of the resulting intracellular structures. Beyond clofazimine, these results demonstrate how the self-assembly of membrane-permeant, orally-bioavailable small molecule building blocks can endow cells with unnatural structural elements possessing chemical, physical and functional characteristics unlike those of other natural cellular components.

Abstract
Objective of this study was to assess the various steps leading to spherulite obtention by means of optical and cryoelectron microscopy. The formulation, resting and hydration steps were optimised. Green-based process and organic-based process were compared. It was found that spherulites could be obtained only when two key steps were followed: a prior resting phase of excipients and the shearing stress of the hydrated excipients. Moreover, the new formulation under study formed spherulites in the 100-200 nm range, which is smaller than previously reported spherulites. Such laboratory scale optimised process led the integration of spherulites in a larger number of prospective studies. Indeed, we finally showed that the encapsulated payload of a hydrophobic compound, such as the anti-angiogenic agent fisetin, was increased to a much higher degree than with a liposomal encapsulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION For poorly soluble compounds, a good bioavailability is typically needed to assess the therapeutic index and the suitability of the compound for technical development. In industry, the selection of the delivery technology is not only driven by technical targets, but also by constraints, such as production costs, time required for development and the intellectual property situation. AREAS COVERED This review covers current developments in parenteral and oral delivery technologies and products for poorly water-soluble compounds, such as nano-suspensions, solid dispersions and liposomes. In addition, the use of biorelevant dissolution media to assess dissolution and solubility properties is described. Suggestions are also included to systematically address development hurdles typical of poorly water-soluble compounds intended for parenteral or oral administration. EXPERT OPINION A holistic assessment is recommended to select the appropriate delivery technology by taking into account technical as well as intellectual property considerations. Therefore, first and foremost, a comprehensive physico-chemical characterization of poorly water-soluble compounds can provide the key for a successful selection and development outcome. In this context, the identified physical form of the compound in the formulation is used as a guide for a risk-benefit assessment of the selected oral delivery technology. The potential of nano-suspensions for intravenous administration is unclear. In the case of oral administration, nano-suspensions are mainly used to improve the oral absorption characteristics of micronized formulations. The development of an in situ instantaneous solubilization method, based on stable, standardized liposomes with low toxicity, opens new avenues to solubilize poorly water-soluble compounds.

Modeling the release kinetics of poorly water-soluble drug molecules from liposomal nanocarriers. JOURNAL OF DRUG DELIVERY 2011; 2011:376548.

Abstract
Liposomes are frequently used as pharmaceutical nanocarriers to deliver poorly water-soluble drugs such as temoporfin, cyclosporine A, amphotericin B, and paclitaxel to their target site. Optimal drug delivery depends on understanding the release kinetics of the drug molecules from the host liposomes during the journey to the target site and at the target site. Transfer of drugs in model systems consisting of donor liposomes and acceptor liposomes is known from experimental work to typically exhibit a first-order kinetics with a simple exponential behavior. In some cases, a fast component in the initial transfer is present, in other cases the transfer is sigmoidal. We present and analyze a theoretical model for the transfer that accounts for two physical mechanisms, collisions between liposomes and diffusion of the drug molecules through the aqueous phase. Starting with the detailed distribution of drug molecules among the individual liposomes, we specify the conditions that lead to an apparent first-order kinetic behavior. We also discuss possible implications on the transfer kinetics of (1) high drug loading of donor liposomes, (2) attractive interactions between drug molecules within the liposomes, and (3) slow transfer of drugs between the inner and outer leaflets of the liposomes.

Abstract
The natural flavonoid fisetin (3,3',4',7-tetrahydroxyflavone) has been shown to possess antiangiogenic and anticancer properties. Because of the limited water solubility of fisetin, our aim was to design and optimize a liposomal formulation that could facilitate its in vivo administration, taking into account the availability and cost of the various components. Several methods were evaluated such as probe sonication, homogeneization, film hydration and lipid cake formation. A selection of lipid and lipid-PEG was also performed via their incorporation in different formulations based on the size of the liposomes, their polydispersity index (PDI) and the fisetin encapsulation yield. An optimal liposomal formulation was developed with P90G and DODA-GLY-PEG2000, possessing a diameter in the nanometer scale (175nm), a high homogeneity (PDI 0.12) and a high fisetin encapsulation (73%). Fisetin liposomes were stable over 59 days for their particle diameter and still retained 80% of their original fisetin content on day 32. Moreover, liposomal fisetin retained the cytotoxicity and typical morphological effect of free fisetin in different tumour and endothelial cell lines. In conclusion, based on its physico-chemical properties and retention of fisetin biological effects, the developed liposomal fisetin preparation is therefore suitable for in vivo administration.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to prepare the gamma-oryzanol-loaded liposomes and investigate their physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity intended for cosmetic applications. Liposomes, Composing phosphatidylCholine (PC) and Cholesterol (Chol), CHAPS or sodium taurocholate (NaTC) were prepared by sonication method. Gamma-oryzanol-loaded liposomes were prepared by using 3, 5 and 10% gamma-oryzanol as an initial concentration. The formulation factors in a particular type and composition of lipid and initial drug loading on the physicochemical properties (i.e., particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, drug release) and antioxidant activity were studied. The particle sizes of bare liposomes were in nanometer range. The gamma-oryzanol-loaded liposomes in formulations of PC/CHAPS and PC/NaTC liposomes were smaller than PC/Chol liposomes. The incorporation efficiency of 10% gamma-oryzanol-loaded PC/Chol liposomes was less than gamma-oryzanol-loaded PC/CHAPS liposomes and PC/NaTC liposomes allowing higher in vitro release rate due to higher free gamma-oryzanol in buffer solution. The antioxidant activity of gamma-oryzanol-loaded liposomes was not different from pure gamma-oryzanol. Both gamma-oryzanol-loaded PC/CHAPS liposomes and PC/NaTC liposomes were showed to enhance the antioxidant activity in NHF cells. gamma-oryzanol-loaded PC/Chol liposomes demonstrated the lowest cytotoxicity in NHF cells. It was conceivably concluded that liposomes prepared in this study are suitable for gamma-oryzanol incorporation without loss of antioxidant activity.

Abstract
The sorption behavior of three benzyl alcohol derivatives with different hydrophobicities into sonicated and extruded DODAC dispersions has been studied using NMR spectroscopy and NMR diffusometry. We show that there is an increased sorption into a sonicated dispersion below the phase-transition temperature (T(m)) as compared to an extruded dispersion. This may be explained by the incomplete lipid chain freezing of charged lipids as a result of the sonication process. Around T(m), a sorption maximum is found that is attributed to the high bilayer disorder under this condition. In addition, a sorption increase and a fluidizing effect at increasing benzyl alcohol derivative concentrations are observed that provide additional evidence for the relevance of the bilayer fluidity on the sorption of hydrophobic components.

Abstract
The integral membrane protein CD40 was found on the surface of B lymphocytes that interact with CD40L on T cells during the immune response. The hydrophobic transmembrane domains of membrane proteins can be stabilized in detergent or in lipid bilayers such as liposomes. Membrane proteins can be incorporated into the liposome in a similar fashion to the way they are handled in vivo. In this study, a large amount of full-sequence CD40 was produced using a bacterial system that contained a Mistic construct. The CD40 was then reconstituted into liposomes by detergent-mediated reconstitution. All stages in the process of liposome disruption with various detergent ratios were easily observed by monitoring the optical density. The structure of the liposome and the reconstitution of CD40 were confirmed by cryo-TEM. The results of the present study show that the detergent ratio had an effect on the structure of the liposome and the amount of CD40 that was reconstituted into the liposome.
