Recent Progress in Multifunctional Stimuli-Responsive Combinational Drug Delivery Systems for the Treatment of Biofilm-Forming Bacterial Infections. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:976. [PMID: 39204321 PMCID: PMC11359499 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16080976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Drug-resistant infectious diseases pose a substantial challenge and threat to medical regimens. While adaptive laboratory evolution provides foresight for encountering such situations, it has inherent limitations. Novel drug delivery systems (DDSs) have garnered attention for overcoming these hurdles. Multi-stimuli responsive DDSs are particularly effective due to their reduced background leakage and targeted drug delivery to specific host sites for pathogen elimination. Bacterial infections create an acidic state in the microenvironment (pH: 5.0-5.5), which differs from normal physiological conditions (pH: 7.4). Infected areas are characterized by the overexpression of hyaluronidase, gelatinase, phospholipase, and other virulence factors. Consequently, several effective stimuli-responsive DDSs have been developed to target bacterial pathogens. Additionally, biofilms, structured communities of bacteria encased in a self-produced polymeric matrix, pose a significant challenge by conferring resistance to conventional antimicrobial treatments. Recent advancements in nano-drug delivery systems (nDDSs) show promise in enhancing antimicrobial efficacy by improving drug absorption and targeting within the biofilm matrix. nDDSs can deliver antimicrobials directly to the biofilm, facilitating more effective eradication of these resilient bacterial communities. Herein, this review examines challenges in DDS development, focusing on enhancing antibacterial activity and eradicating biofilms without adverse effects. Furthermore, advances in immune system modulation and photothermal therapy are discussed as future directions for the treatment of bacterial diseases.

Development of a tobramycin-loaded calcium alginate microsphere/chitosan composite sponge with antibacterial effects as a wound dressing. Biomed Mater 2024; 19:045030.

Abstract
Traditional dressings exhibit several disadvantages, as they frequently lead to bacterial infections, cause severe tissue adhesion and perform a relatively single function. Therefore, in this study, a composite sponge dressing with antibacterial properties and excellent physicochemical properties was developed. Six groups of tobramycin-loaded calcium alginate microspheres were prepared by changing the amount of tobramycin added, and the optimal group was selected. Then, seven groups of tobramycin-loaded calcium alginate microsphere/chitosan composite sponges were fabricated via a solvent blending process and a freeze-drying method. The surface morphology, physicochemical properties,in vitrodegradation properties,in vitrodrug release properties, antibacterial properties and cytotoxicity of the composite sponges were examined. Group 3.0 contained the best microspheres with the largest drug loading capacity, good swelling performance and cumulative drug release rate, obvious and sustained antibacterial activity, and good cytocompatibility. The tobramycin-loaded calcium alginate microsphere/chitosan composite sponges exhibited three-dimensional porous structures, and their porosity, swelling rate, water absorption and water retention rates and water vapor transmission rate met the standards needed for an ideal dressing. The comprehensive performance of the sponge was best when 20 mg of drug-loaded microspheres was added (i.e. group 20). The cumulative drug release rate of the sponge was 29.67 ± 4.14% at 7 d, the diameters of the inhibition zones against the three bacteria were greater than 15 mm, and L929 cell proliferation was promoted. These results demonstrated that the tobramycin-loaded calcium alginate microsphere/chitosan composite sponge with 20 mg of tobramycin-loaded microspheres shows promise as a dressing for infected wounds.

Abstract
Tetracyclines (TCs) are a class of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents recognized for their multifaceted properties, including anti-inflammatory, angiogenic and osteogenic effects. This versatility positions them as suitable candidates for drug repurposing, benefitting from well-characterized safety and pharmacological profiles. In the attempt to explore both their antibacterial and pleiotropic effects locally, innovative therapeutic strategies were set on engineering tetracycline-loaded micro and nanoparticles to tackle a vast number of clinical applications. Moreover, the conjoined drug carrier can function as an active component of the therapeutic approach, reducing off-target effects and accumulation, synergizing to an improvement of the therapeutic efficacy. In this comprehensive review we will critically evaluate recent advances involving the use of tetracyclines loaded onto micro- or nanoparticles, intended for biomedical applications, and discuss emerging approaches and current limitations associated with these drug carriers. Owing to their distinctive physical, chemical, and biological properties, these novel carriers have the potential to become a platform technology in personalized regenerative medicine and other therapeutic applications.

Abstract
This research underlines the potential of alginate multilayered gel microspheres for the layered encapsulation and the simultaneous delivery of vitamin B2 (VB) and β-carotene (BC). Chitosan was used to improve the stability and controlled release ability of alginate-based gel microspheres. It was shown that a clear multilayered structure possessed the characteristics of pH response, and excellent thermal stability. The sodium alginate concentration and the number of layers had notable effects on mechanical properties and particle size of gel microspheres. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses further proved that VB and BC were encapsulated within the gel microspheres. Compared with the three-layer VB-loaded gel microspheres, the total release of VB from the three-layer VB and BC-loaded gel decreased from 93.23% to 85.58%. The total release of BC from the three-layer VB and BC-loaded gel increased from 66.11% to 69.24% compared with three-layer BC-loaded gel. The simultaneous encapsulation of VB and BC in multilayered gel microspheres can markedly improve their bioaccessibility and bioavailability. These results showed the multilayer gel microspheres synthesized herein have potential for applications in the layered encapsulation and simultaneous delivery of various bioactive substances to the intestinal tract.

Abstract
Although aminoglycosides are one of the common classes of antibiotics that have been widely used for treating infections caused by pathogenic bacteria, the evolution of bacterial resistance mechanisms and their inherent toxicity have diminished their applicability. Biocompatible carrier systems can help sustain and control the delivery of antibacterial compounds while reducing the chances of antibacterial resistance or accumulation in unwanted tissues. In this study, novel chitosan gel beads were synthesized by a double ionic co-crosslinking mechanism. Tripolyphosphate and alginate, a polysaccharide obtained from marine brown algae, were employed as ionic cross-linkers to prepare the chitosan-based networks of gel beads. The in vitro release of streptomycin and kanamycin A was bimodal; an initial burst release was observed followed by a diffusion mediated sustained release, based on a Fickian diffusion mechanism. Finally, in terms of antibacterial properties, the particles resulted in growth inhibition of Gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria.

Abstract
Accumulation and exposure of organophosphate pesticides are of great concern today owing to their abundant usage and potential health hazards. Harmful effects of organophosphate pesticide exposure and limitations of the available treatment methods necessitate the development of reliable, selective, cost-effective, and sensitive methods of detection. We developed a novel biosensor based on the enzymatic action of recombinant organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) expressed in E. coli. We report the development of colorimetric biosensors made of His-Nus-OPH as well as His-Nus-OPH loaded alginate microspheres. The colorimetric detection method developed using solution-phase and alginate-encapsulated His-Nus-OPH exhibited detection limits of 0.045 and 0.039 mM, respectively, for ethyl paraoxon, and 0.101 and 0.049 mM, respectively, for methyl parathion. Additionally, fluorescence measurement using pH-sensitive fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was used to sense the quantity of organophosphorus pesticides. The fluorometric detection method using solution-phase His-Nus-OPH, with ethyl paraoxon and methyl parathion as the substrate, reveals the lower limit of detection as 0.014 mM and 0.044 mM, respectively. Our results demonstrate the viability of His-Nus-OPH for OP detection with good sensitivity, LOD, and linear range. We report the first use of N-terminal His-NusA-tagged OPH, which enhances solubility significantly and presents a significant advance for the scientific community.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based hydrogel particles (PbHPs) are very promising carriers aiming to control and target the release of drugs with different physico-chemical properties. Such delivery systems can offer benefits through the proper encapsulation of many drugs (non-steroidal and steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, etc) ensuring their proper release and targeting. This review discusses the different phases involved in the production of PbHPs in pharmaceutical technology, such as droplet formation (SOL phase), sol-gel transition of the droplets (GEL phase) and drying, as well as the different methods available for droplet production with a special focus on prilling technique. In addition, an overview of the various droplet gelation methods with particular emphasis on ionic cross-linking of several polysaccharides enabling the formation of particles with inner highly porous network or nanofibrillar structure is given. Moreover, a detailed survey of the different inner texture, in xerogels, cryogels or aerogels, each with specific arrangement and properties, which can be obtained with different drying methods, is presented. Various case studies are reported to highlight the most appropriate application of such systems in pharmaceutical field. We also describe the challenges to be faced for the breakthrough towards clinic studies and, finally, the market, focusing on the useful approach of safety-by-design (SbD).

Abstract
With the advantages of unicellular eukaryotic structure and easy manipulation, yeast becomes a popular tool for biochemical, genetic and medicinal studies. In order to construct an efficient anti-inflammatory drug screening platform, we engineered yeast as a double-molecule carrier, of which an inserted domain (I domain) of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 was displayed on yeast surface and a green fluorescent protein (GFP) was expressed inside cytosol. The I domain specifically targeted a surface marker of mammalian cells, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, whose number is correlated with the level of cellular inflammation. Examination of GFP intensity enables swift quantification of the yeast-mammalian cell binding and thus it reflects inflammatory potency, herein the inflammatory index, of a chemical imposed to cells. The inflammatory potency of a total of 1340 chemicals was indexed. Among them, 1 inflammation-inducing and 1 inflammation-reducing compounds were verified both in vitro and in vivo. Our method demonstrated a swift, facile and high-throughput screening platform at the protein level for inflammation and related diseases drug discovery without using sophisticated instruments.
