Vatansever O, Bahadori F, Bulut S, Eroglu MS. Coating with cationic inulin enhances the drug release profile and in vitro anticancer activity of lecithin-based nano drug delivery systems. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 237:123955. [PMID: 36906213 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023]
Abstract
Core-shell structured lipidic nanoparticles (LNPs) were developed using lecithin sodium acetate (Lec-OAc) ionic complex as a core unit and quaternized inulin (QIn) as the shell part. Inulin (In) was modified using glycidyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (GTMAC) as a positively charged shell part and used for coating the negatively surface charged Lec-OAc. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the core was determined as 1.047 × 10-4 M, which is expected to provide high stability in blood circulation as a drug-carrying compartment. The amounts of curcumin (Cur) and paclitaxel (Ptx) loaded to LNPs (CurPtx-LNPs), and quaternized inulin-coated LNPs (Cur-Ptx-QIn-LNPs) were optimized to obtain mono-dispersed particles with maximum payload. The total amount of 2.0 mg of the drug mixture (1 mg Cur and 1 mg Ptx) was the optimized quantity for QIn-LNPs and CurPtx-QIn-LNPs due to the favorable physicochemical properties determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies. This inference was confirmed by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR). SEM and TEM images clearly revealed the spherical shapes of LNPs and QIn-LNPs, and QIn covered the LNPs completely. The cumulative release measurements of Cur and Ptx from CurPtx-QIn-LNPs, along with the kinetic studies, showed a significant decrease in the release period of drug molecules with the effect of the coating. At the same time, Korsmeyer-Peppas was the best diffusion-controlled release model. Coating of the LNPs with QIn increased the cell-internalization of NPs to the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines, resulting in a better toxicity profile than the empty LNPs.

Abstract
In light of regulatory considerations, there are ongoing efforts to identify Triton X-100 (TX-100) detergent alternatives for use in the biological manufacturing industry to mitigate membrane-enveloped pathogen contamination. Until now, the efficacy of antimicrobial detergent candidates to replace TX-100 has been tested regarding pathogen inhibition in endpoint biological assays or probing lipid membrane disruption in real-time biophysical testing platforms. The latter approach has proven especially useful to test compound potency and mechanism of action, however, existing analytical approaches have been limited to studying indirect effects of lipid membrane disruption such as membrane morphological changes. A direct readout of lipid membrane disruption by TX-100 detergent alternatives would be more practical to obtain biologically relevant information to guide compound discovery and optimization. Herein, we report the use of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to investigate how TX-100 and selected replacement candidates-Simulsol SL 11W (Simulsol) and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-affect the ionic permeability of tethered bilayer lipid membrane (tBLM) platforms. The EIS results revealed that all three detergents exhibited dose-dependent effects mainly above their respective critical micelle concentration (CMC) values while displaying distinct membrane-disruptive behaviors. TX-100 caused irreversible membrane disruption leading to complete solubilization, whereas Simulsol caused reversible membrane disruption and CTAB induced irreversible, partial membrane defect formation. These findings establish that the EIS technique is useful for screening the membrane-disruptive behaviors of TX-100 detergent alternatives with multiplex formatting possibilities, rapid response, and quantitative readouts relevant to antimicrobial functions.

Abstract
With the progress and advancement in discovery of novel antimicrobial drugs, efficient solubility plays an important component for a drug to express its out-turn effectively. A biocompatible neutral/non-ionic surfactant, Triton X-100 (Tx-100), was successfully employed to solubilize an antibiotic drug, sulfamethazine (SMZ), through micellization process. The association process of Tx-100 toward SMZ was confirmed through the characteristic spectral change in absorption and emission spectroscopy. The morphological behavior of the complex was studied from small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Changes in size(s) and charge(s) of the micelles were monitored using zeta (z) potential technique. This present study emphasized the molecular mechanism and characteristics of Tx-100 as an effective drug solubilizing and carrier agent. Thus, the drug-loaded micellar system can enhance cellular uptake and increase the antibacterial effects of drugs in the biological system(s). Schematic illustration of drug-surfactant micelle formation and target release of drug at the targeted site.

Abstract
The present work aims to investigate the effects of various additives on the stability of graphene nanoplatelet (GnP)-based nanofluid phase change material (NFPCM) for cold thermal energy storage (CTES). The NFPCMs are prepared by dispersing six different types of surfactants (anionic, cationic, and non-ionic types) in deionized (DI) water at a mass ratio of 1:0.5 GnP to surfactant. NFPCMs can be found to be stable with a suitable surfactant even after 30 days using zeta-potential distribution, UV-vis absorption, visual inspection, and sedimentation tests at low temperature. The maximum enhancement in thermal conductivity of 8.3% and 48.3% is recorded in both liquid and solid states for the NFPCM with gum arabic (GA) respectively. The viscosity was enhanced by the dispersion of non-ionic surfactants, where the anionic surfactant (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS)) NFPCM had a 29.9% lower augmentation compared to DI water. Furthermore, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results demonstrate that the phase change properties of the NFPCM are significantly affected depending on the surfactant type. The maximum phase change enthalpy is lowered (10.6%) in the Tween 80 NFPCM as compared to the base PCM. The long-term stability with the highest thermal transport property of the NFPCM storage unit integrated with the chiller is capable of achieving environmental pollution remediation by minimising the time it takes to charge the PCM.

Abstract
Self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers with hydrophilic and hydrophobic units results in micelles (polymeric nanoparticles), where polymer concentrations are above critical micelle concentrations (CMCs). Recently, micelles with metal nanoparticles (MNPs) have been utilized in many bio-applications because of their excellent biocompatibility, pharmacokinetics, adhesion to biosurfaces, targetability, and longevity. The size of the micelles is in the range of 10 to 100 nm, and different shapes of micelles have been developed for applications. Micelles have been focused recently on bio-applications because of their unique properties, size, shape, and biocompatibility, which enhance drug loading and target release in a controlled manner. This review focused on how CMC has been calculated using various techniques. Further, micelle importance is explained briefly, different types and shapes of micelles are discussed, and further extensions for the application of micelles are addressed. In the summary and outlook, points that need focus in future research on micelles are discussed. This will help researchers in the development of micelles for different applications.

Abstract
Understanding the self-assembly behavior of block copolymers is of great importance due to their usefulness in a wide range of applications. In this work, the physical properties of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA polymer) are studied for the first time in solution using the fluorescence technique and curcumin as a molecular probe. First, curcumin at a concentration of 2 μM was added to different concentrations of PLGA, and the fluorescence of curcumin was tracked. It was found that the critical micellar concentration (CMC) was equal to 0.31 g/L and the critical micellar temperature (CMT) was obtained to be 25 °C. Furthermore, an insight on the effect of NaCl salt on the CMC value of PLGA is assessed through curcumin probing. A decrease in the CMC has been observed with the increase in the concentration of NaCl, which could be due to the salting out effect. Moreover, in order to understand the aggregation behavior of PLGA in different solutions, CMC experiments were investigated using chloroform as a solvent. Results showed that the solvent does not affect the CMC value of the polymer; however, it only affects the shape of the obtained micelle forming a reversed micelle. Finally, fluorescence quenching of curcumin with hydrophobic cetyl-pyridinium bromide (CPB) and hydrophilic KI quenchers was established, where it was proved that curcumin is located near the hydrophobic pocket of the Stern layer of the PLGA micelle.

Abstract
Solid-state SERS sensors are desirable point-of-care tools due to their portability. However, the level of SERS sensitivity achieved in liquid phase is rarely duplicated in the solid phase. We report herein the fabrication of a SERS sensor using alumina beads as the solid support and demonstrate its high SERS sensitivity with the model analyte 4-aminophenyl disulfide (4-APDS). The key to sensitivity is a hydrophilic-hydrophobic surface gradient constructed by sequentially coating with the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and fluorous 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane. The surface gradient, together with chloride etching, allows the detection of 4-APDS at the low concentration of 10-15 M. The practicality of the sensor beads is evidenced by successfully tracking the SERS fingerprints of five food colorant standards in the SERS spectra of a popular candy product. These SERS sensor beads are easy to prepare, convenient to use, and highly responsive as a SERS platform for the analysis of colorants.

Abstract
The laser ablation synthesis in solution (LASiS) method has been widely utilized due to its significant prospects in laser microprocessing of nanomaterials. In this study, the LASiS method with the addition of different surfactant charges (cationic CTAB, nonionic TX-100, and anionic SDS) was used to produce Au NPs. An Nd:YAG laser system at 532 nm excitation with some synthetic parameters, including different laser fluences, ablation times, and surfactant concentrations was performed. The obtained Au NPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and zeta potential analyzer. The Au NPs exhibited the maximum absorption peak at around 520 nm for all samples. The color of Au NPs was changed from red to reddish by increasing the laser fluence. The surfactant charges also played different roles in the Au NPs’ growth during the synthesis process. The average sizes of Au NPs were found to be 8.5 nm, 5.5 nm, and 15.5 nm with the medium containing CTAB, TX-100, and SDS, respectively. Besides, the different surfactant charges induced different performances to protect Au NPs from agglomeration. Overall, the SDS and CTAB surfactants exhibited higher stability of the Au NPs compared to the Au NPs with TX-100 surfactant.

Abstract
The energy conversion performance of the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a function of triboelectric charges which depend on the intrinsic properties of materials to hold charges or the dielectric properties of triboelectric materials. In this work, Ag nanoparticles were synthesized and used to incorporate into natural rubber (NR) in order to enhance the dielectric constant for enhancing the electrical output of TENG. It was found that the size of Ag nanoparticles was reduced with the increasing CTAB concentration. Furthermore, the CTAB surfactant helped the dispersion of metallic Ag nanoparticles in the NR-insulating matrix, which promoted interfacial polarization that affected the dielectric properties of the NR composite. Ag nanoparticle-incorporated NR films exhibited an improved dielectric constant of up to almost 40% and an enhanced TENG performance that generated the highest power density of 262.4 mW/m2.

Abstract
Micellization is a phenomenon of central importance in surfactant solutions. Here, we demonstrate that the diffusion-based spreading of the free boundary between a micellar aqueous solution and pure water yields a one-dimensional spatial profile of surfactant concentration that can be used to identify the critical micelle concentration, here denoted as C*. This can be achieved because dilution of micelles into water leads to their dissociation at a well-defined position along the concentration profile and an abrupt increase in the diffusion coefficient. Rayleigh interferometry was successfully employed to determine C* values for three well-known surfactants in water at 25 °C: Triton X-100 (TX-100), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and poly(oxyethylene)(4)Lauryl Ether (Brij-30). The dependence of C* on salt concentration was also characterized for TX-100 in the presence of Na2SO4, NaCl, and NaSCN. Accurate values of C* can be directly identified by visual inspection of the corresponding concentration-gradient profiles. To apply the method of least squares to experimental concentration profiles, a mathematical expression was derived from Fick's law and the pseudophase separation model of micellization with the inclusion of appropriate modifications. While Rayleigh interferometry was employed in our experiments, this approach can be extended to any experimental technique that yields one-dimensional profiles of surfactant concentration. Moreover, diffusion-driven surfactant disaggregation is precise, noninvasive, requires single-sample preparation, and applies to both nonionic and ionic surfactants. Thus, this work provides the foundation of diffusion-driven dilution methods, thereby representing a valuable addition to existing techniques for the determination of C*.

RSC Adv 2021; 11:2194-2201. [PMID: 35424167 PMCID: PMC8693728 DOI: 10.1039/d0ra08114k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Highly monodispersed silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) were synthesised using a fluorinated surfactant, HOCH2CH(CF3)CO2H, and its efficiency was compared with efficiencies of five other surfactants. The size of the SiNPs (∼50-200 nm) was controlled by controlling the surfactant amount. The short alkyl-chain fluoro surfactant was found to be more efficient at producing monodispersed SiNPs than its long alkyl-chain fluoro or non-fluorinated surfactant counterparts.

Abstract
Declines in crop yield due to pests and diseases require the development of safe, green and eco-friendly pesticide formulations. A major problem faced by the agricultural industry is the use of conventional agrochemicals that contribute broad-spectrum effects towards the environment and organisms. As a result of this issue, researchers are currently developing various pesticide formulations using different nanotechnology approaches. The progress and opportunities in developing nanoemulsions as carriers for plant protection or nanodelivery systems for agrochemicals in agricultural practice have been the subject of intense research. New unique chemical and biologic properties have resulted in a promising pesticide nanoformulations for crop protection. These innovations-particularly the nanoemulsion-based agrochemicals-are capable of enhancing the solubility of active ingredients, improving agrochemical bioavailability, and improving stability and wettability properties during the application, thus resulting in better efficacy for pest control and treatment. All of these-together with various preparation methods towards a greener and environmentally friendly agrochemicals-are also discussed and summarized in this review.
