Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 252:126438. [PMID: 37604421 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126438] [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: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
Benign electrospinning of chitosan in aqueous medium is an open challenge mainly due to its insolubility in neutral pH and inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. Here, we developed a simple and widely-used methodology to improve the chitosan electrospinnability through the sulfation of chitosan and its further mixing with poly(vinyl alcohol) for the first time. The FTIR, 1H NMR and elemental analyses showed the successful sulfation of chitosan. Furthermore, the viscosity and electrical conductivity measurements revealed the high solubility of chitosan sulfate (CS) in aqueous media. In the next step, a uniform electrospun nanofibrous mat of CS/PVA was fabricated with a fiber diameter ranging from 90 to 340 nm. The crosslinked CS/PVA (50/50) nanofibrous mat as the optimum sample showed a swelling ratio of 290 ± 4 % and a high Young's modulus of 3.75 ± 0.10 GPa. Finally, malachite green (MG) as a cationic drug model was loaded into different samples of chitosan film, CS film, and CS/PVA (50/50) nanofibrous mat and its release behavior was studied. The results of these analyses revealed that the CS/PVA (50/50) nanofibrous mat can successfully load higher contents of the MG and also release it in a sustained manner.

Abstract
Significance: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most widely prescribed drugs to treat inflammation and related ailments. In recent years, loading these drugs onto nanodevices like nanoparticles, nanofibers, etc. as a drug delivery system has gained momentum due to its desirable properties and advantages. The purpose of this review is to examine the existing research on the potential and novel use of nanofiber-assisted delivery of NSAIDs. Recent Advances: Electrospun nanofibers have recently garnered considerable attention from researchers in a variety of sectors. They have proved to be promising vehicles for drug delivery systems because of their exceptional and favorable features like prolonged drug release, controllable porosity, and high surface area. In this article, various polymers and even combinations of polymers loaded with single or multiple drugs were analyzed to achieve the desired drug release rates (burst, sustained, and biphasic) from the electrospun nanofibers. Critical Issues: The administration of these medications can induce major adverse effects, causing patients discomfort. Thus, encapsulating these drugs within electrospun nanofibers helps to reduce the severity of side effects while also providing additional benefits such as targeted and controlled drug release, reduced toxicity, and long-lasting effects of the drug with lower amounts of administration. Future Directions: This review covers previous research on the delivery of NSAIDs using electrospun nanofibers as the matrix. Also, this study intends to aid in the development of enhanced drug delivery systems for the treatment of inflammation and related issues.

Abstract
Cellulose acetate (CA), a very promising derivative of cellulose, has come into the focus of research due to its highly desired good film-forming ability for food packaging applications. Frequently, this derivative is used in combination with other compounds (polymers, nanoparticles) in order to obtain active materials. Here, we report the preparation of thin films made of cellulose acetate loaded with chitosan (CS) using the solution blow spinning (SBS) method. Films are prepared by SBS processing of the polymers mixture solution, considering the following variables: (i) the concentration of cellulose acetate and chitosan in the solution and (ii) the solvent system consisting of acetic or formic acid. The prepared materials are characterized in terms of physical properties, roughness (optical profilometer), porosity, wettability (contact angle measurements), chemical structure (Fourier transform infrared spectrometry), and electrokinetic properties (zeta potential). SBS enables the preparation of CA/CS films with high water vapor permeability, high porosity, and also higher water contact angle compared with pure CA films. The electrokinetic properties of composites are influenced by the inclusion of chitosan, which causes a shift of the isoelectric point (IEP) towards higher pH values, but the magnitude of the shift is not in correlation with chitosan concentration. Adsorption kinetic studies using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein reveal that chitosan modified cellulose acetate films manifest low affinity towards proteins that suggests prevention of biofilm formation on its surface.

Abstract
Quercetin is a strong antioxidant with low bioavailability due to its high crystallinity. A further drawback is that Quercetin has potentially toxic effects at high concentrations. To improve this low water solubility, as well as control the concentration of the flavonoid in the body, Quercetin is incorporated into a polymeric matrix to form an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) stable enough to resist the recrystallization of the drug. For this purpose, miscible poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and Quercetin (Q) blends are prepared, provided that they have complementary interacting groups. For compositions in which the flavonoid remains in an amorphous state thanks to the interactions with polymer chains, various PCL/Q drug release platforms are fabricated: micrometric films by solvent casting, nanometric films by spin coating, and nanofibers by electrospinning. Then, the potential use of bacterial S-layer proteins as release-preventive membranes is tested on PCL–Quercetin blends, due to their ability to construct a biomimetic coating including nanometric pores. For all the platforms, the SbpA coating can maintain a stable release under the toxicity level of Quercetin. Accordingly, a PCL/Q system with an S-layer coating allows the design of versatile bioavailable Quercetin eluting devices that prevent toxicity and biofouling issues. S-Layer coating on PCL–Quercetin miscible blends acts as a release controller from films and scaffolds, as well as antifouling agent.![]()

Abstract
A simple method to rapidly customize and to also mass produce oral dosage forms is arguably a current bottleneck in the development of modern personalized medicine. Specifically, delayed-release mechanisms with well-controlled dosage profiles for combinations of traditional Chinese herbal extracts and Western medications are not well established. Herein, we demonstrate a novel multidrug-loaded membrane sandwich with structures infused with ibuprofen (IBU) and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide (GLP) using three-dimensional electrohydrodynamic printing and electrospinning techniques. The resulting flexible membrane consists of microscaled, multilayered cellulose acetate (CA) membranes loaded with IBU in the shape of either concentric squares or circles, as the top and bottom layers of a sandwich structure. In between the CA-IBU layers are randomly electrospun polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) layers loaded with GLP. The complete fibrous membrane sandwich can be folded and embedded into a 0-size capsule to achieve oral compliance. Simulated in vitro testing of gastric and intestinal fluids demonstrated a triphasic release profile. There was an immediate release of GLP after gastric juices dissolved the capsule shell and the PVP, followed by the short-term release of 60% of the IBU within an hour afterward, and the remaining IBU was released in a sustained manner following a Fickian diffusion profile. In summary, this multidrug (both hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic) oral system with precision-designed structures should enable personalized therapeutic dosing.
