Abstract
Excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during strong or unfamiliar exercise cause exercise-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (EIGS), leading to poor health and decreased exercise performance. The application of conventional antioxidants can neither ameliorate EIGS nor improve exercise performance because of their rapid elimination and severe side effects on the mitochondria. Hence, a self-assembling nanoparticle-type antioxidant (RNPO ) that is selectively located in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract for an extended time after oral administration is developed. Interestingly, orally administered RNPO significantly enhances the running time until exhaustion in mice with increasing dosage, whereas conventional antioxidants (TEMPOL) tends to reduce the running time with increasing dosage. The running (control) and TEMPOL groups show severe damage in the GI tract and increased plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels after 80 min of running, resulting in fewer red blood cells (RBCs) and severe damage to the skeletal muscles and liver. However, the RNPO group is protected against GI tract damage and elevation of plasma LPS levels, similar to the nonrunning (sedentary) group, which prevents damage to the whole body, unlike in the control and TEMPOL groups. Based on these results, it is concluded that continuous scavenging of excessive intestinal ROS protects against gut damage and further improves exercise performance.

Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13081116. [PMID: 34452077 PMCID: PMC8398606 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13081116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2021] [Revised: 07/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Drug delivery systems (DDSs) limited to a single function or single-drug loading are struggling to meet the requirements of clinical medical applications. It is of great significance to fabricate DDSs with multiple functions such as magnetic targeting or fluorescent labeling, as well as with multiple-drug loading for enhancing drug efficacy and accelerating actions. In this study, inspired by the dual-chamber structure of rapeseed pods, biomimetic magnetic–luminescent bifunctional drug delivery carriers (DDCs) of 1.9 ± 0.3 μm diameter and 19.6 ± 4.4 μm length for dual drug release were fabricated via double-needle electrospraying. Morphological images showed that the rapeseed pod-like DDCs had a rod-like morphology and Janus dual-chamber structure. Magnetic nanoparticles and luminescent materials were elaborately designed to be dispersed in two different chambers to endow the DDCs with excellent magnetic and luminescent properties. Synchronously, the Janus structure of DDCs promoted the luminescent intensity by at least threefold compared to single-chamber DDCs. The results of the hemolysis experiment and cytotoxicity assay suggested the great blood and cell compatibilities of DDCs. Further inspired by the core–shell structure of rapeseeds containing oil wrapped in rapeseed pods, DDCs were fabricated to carry benzimidazole molecules and doxorubicin@chitosan nanoparticles in different chambers, realizing the sequential release of benzimidazole within 12 h and of doxorubicin from day 3 to day 18. These rapeseed pod-like DDSs with excellent magnetic and luminescent properties and sequential release of dual drugs have potential for biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery, bioimaging, and sustained treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Owing to their tunable properties, controllable degradation, and ability to protect labile drugs, hydrogels are increasingly investigated as local drug delivery systems. However, a lack of standardized methodologies used to characterize and evaluate drug release poses significant difficulties when comparing findings from different investigations, preventing an accurate assessment of systems. Here, we review the commonly used analytical techniques for drug detection and quantification from hydrogel delivery systems. The experimental conditions of drug release in saline solutions and their impact are discussed, along with the main mathematical and statistical approaches to characterize drug release profiles. We also review methods to determine drug diffusion coefficients and in vitro and in vivo models used to assess drug release and efficacy with the goal to provide guidelines and harmonized practices when investigating novel hydrogel drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Amphiphilic assemblies made from diverse synthetic building blocks are well known for their biomedical applications. Here, we report the synthesis of gemini-type amphiphilic molecules that form stable assemblies in water. The assembly property of molecule M2 in aqueous solutions was first inferred from peak broadening observed in the proton NMR spectrum. This was supported by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy analysis. The assembly formed from M2 (M2agg) was used to solubilize the hydrophobic drugs curcumin and doxorubicin at physiological pH. M2agg was able to effectively solubilize curcumin as well as protect it from degradation under UV irradiation. Upon solubilization in M2agg, curcumin showed excellent cell permeability and higher toxicity to cancer cells over normal cells, probably because of enhanced cellular uptake and increased stability. M2agg also showed pH-dependent release of doxorubicin, resulting in controlled toxicity on cancer cell lines, making it a promising candidate for the selective delivery of drugs to cancer cells.

Abstract
Combination therapy by two or multiple drugs with different mechanisms of action is a promising strategy in cancer treatment. In this regard, a wide range of chemotherapeutics has used simultaneously to achieve the synergistic effect and overcome the adverse side effects of single-drug therapy. Herein, we developed a biocompatible nanoparticle-based system composed of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and amino acid l-lysine for efficient co-delivery of model chemotherapeutic methotrexate (MTX) and polyphenol compound curcumin (CUR) to the MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The drugs could release in a sustained and acidic-facilitate manner. In vitro cytotoxicity results represented the superior anti-tumor efficacy of the dual-drug-loaded nanocarriers. Possible inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptosis in the cells treated with different formulations of CUR and MTX were explored by cell cycle analysis and DAPI staining. Overall, the engineered nanosystem can be used as suitable candidates to achieve efficient multi-drug delivery for combination cancer therapy.

Abstract
Tissue response to intestinal injury or disease releases pro-inflammatory host stress signals triggering microbial shift to pathogenic phenotypes. One such phenotype is increased protease production resulting in collagen degradation and activation of host matrix metalloproteinases contributing to tissue breakdown. We have shown that surgical injury depletes local intestinal phosphate concentration triggering bacterial virulence and that polyphosphate replenishment attenuates virulence and collagenolytic activity. Mechanistic studies of bacterial and host protease expression contributing to tissue breakdown are difficult to achieve in vivo necessitating the development of novel in vitro tissue models. Common techniques for screening in vitro protease activity, including gelatin zymography or fluorogenic protease-sensitive substrate kits, do not readily translate to 3D matrix degradation. Here, we report the application of an in vitro assay in which collagenolytic pathogens are cultured in the presence of a proteolytically degradable poly(ethylene) glycol scaffold and a non-degradable phosphate and/or polyphosphate nanocomposite hydrogel matrix. This in vitro platform enables quantification of pathogen-induced matrix degradation and screening of sustained release of phosphate-based therapeutic efficacy in attenuating protease expression. To evaluate matrix degradation as a function of bacterial enzyme levels secreted, we also present a novel method to quantify hydrogel degradation. This method involves staining protease-sensitive hydrogels with Sirius red dye to correlate absorbance of the degraded gel solution with hydrogel weight. This assay enables continuous monitoring and greater accuracy of hydrogel degradation kinetics compared to gravimetric measurements. Combined, the proposed in vitro platform and the presented degradation assay provide a novel strategy for screening efficacy of therapeutics in attenuating bacterial protease-induced matrix degradation.

Abstract
By targeting CD44 receptors, inhibiting multidrug resistance (MDR), controlling drug release, and synergistically inhibiting tumor growth, a multilayered nanosystem was developed to serve as a multifunctional platform for the treatment of drug-resistant breast cancers. The multilayer nanosystem is composed of a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) core, a liposome second layer, and a chitosan third layer. The chitosan-multilayered nanoparticles (Ch-MLNPs) can co-deliver three chemotherapeutic agents: doxorubicin (DOX), paclitaxel (PTX), and silybin. The three drugs are released from the multilayered NPs in a controlled and sequential manner upon internalization and localization in the cellular endosomes. The presence of a chitosan layer allows the nanosystem to target a well-characterized MDR breast cancer biomarker, the CD44s receptor. In vitro cytotoxicity study showed that the nanosystem loaded with triple drugs, DOX-PTX-silybin, resulted in better antitumor efficacy than the single-drug or dual-drug nano-formulations. Likely attributed to the MDR-inhibition effect of silybin, the co-delivered DOX and PTX exhibited a better synergistic effect on MDR breast cancer cells than on non-MDR breast cancer cells. The in vivo study also showed that the multilayered nanosystem promoted MDR inhibition and synergy between chemotherapeutic agents, leading to significant tumor reduction in a xenograft animal model. Ch-MLNPs reduced the tumor volume by fivefold compared to that of the control group without causing overt cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Background A previous study developed a novel luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) receptor-targeted liposome. The aim of this study was to further assess the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and anti-tumor efficacy of LHRH receptor-targeted liposomes loaded with the anticancer drug mitoxantrone (MTO). Methods Plasma and tissue distribution profiles of LHRH receptor-targeted MTO-loaded liposomes (LHRH-MTO-LIPs) were quantified in healthy mice or a xenograft tumor nude mouse model of MCF-7 breast cancer, and were compared with non-targeted liposomes and a free-drug solution. Results The LHRH-MTO-LIPs demonstrated a superior pharmacokinetic profile relative to free MTO. The first target site of accumulation is the kidney, followed by the liver, and then the tumor; maximal tumor accumulation occurs at 4 h post-administration. Moreover, the LHRH-MTO-LIPs exhibited enhanced inhibition of MCF-7 breast cancer cell growth in vivo compared with non-targeted MTO-loaded liposomes (MTO-LIPs) and free MTO. Conclusion The novel LHRH receptor-targeted liposome may become a viable platform for the future targeted treatment of cancer.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of drug delivery is to increase the bioavailability and reduce the toxic side effects of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) by releasing them at a specific site of action. In the case of antitumor therapy, association of the therapeutic agent with a carrier system can minimize damage to healthy, nontarget tissues, while limit systemic release and promoting long circulation to enhance uptake at the cancerous site due to the enhanced permeation and retention effect (EPR). Stimuli-responsive systems have become a promising way to deliver and release payloads in a site-selective manner. Potential carrier systems have been derived from a wide variety of materials, including inorganic nanoparticles, lipids, and polymers that have been imbued with stimuli-sensitive properties to accomplish triggered release based on an environmental cue. The unique features in the tumor microenvironment can serve as an endogenous stimulus (pH, redox potential, or unique enzymatic activity) or the locus of an applied external stimulus (heat or light) to trigger the controlled release of API. In liposomal carrier systems triggered release is generally based on the principle of membrane destabilization from local defects within bilayer membranes to effect release of liposome-entrapped drugs. This review focuses on the literature appearing between November 2008-February 2016 that reports new developments in stimuli-sensitive liposomal drug delivery strategies using pH change, enzyme transformation, redox reactions, and photochemical mechanisms of activation.

Abstract
Codelivery of multiple chemotherapeutics with different action mechanisms is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. In this study, we developed a novel polymer-dendrimer hybrid nanoparticle-based nanosystem for efficient and controlled codelivery of two model chemotherapeutics, doxorubicin (DOX) and paclitaxel (PTX). The nanosystem was characterized to have a nano-in-nano structure with a size of around 150 nm. The model drugs could feasibly be loaded into the nanosystem ratiometrically with high drug-loading contents by controlling the feeding drug ratios. Also, the model drugs could be released from the nanosystem following a sequential release manner-specifically, quick PTX release and sustained DOX release. Acidic pH was found to enhance the release of both drugs. Moreover, the nanosystem was taken up by cancer cells rapidly and efficiently, and the delivered drugs could release sustainably and efficiently in cells to reach their action targets. In vitro cytotoxicity results demonstrated that, by optimizing drug ratios, the dual-drug-loaded nanosystem could result in better antitumor efficacy than the single-drug-loaded nanosystem or free dual-drug combination. Furthermore, the dual-drug-loaded nanosystem could induce significant changes in both the nucleus and tubulin patterns synergistically. All data suggest that the nano-in-nano polymer-dendrimer hybrid nanoparticle-based nanosystem is a promising candidate to achieve controlled multidrug delivery for effective combination cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is one of the leading causes of death and only second to heart diseases. Recently, preclinical studies have demonstrated that curcumin had a number of anticancer properties. Thus, we planned to synthesize a series of curcumin analogs to assess their antiproliferation efficacy. RESULTS A series of (1E,4E)-1-aryl-5-(2-((quinazolin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)-1,4-pentadien-3-one derivatives (curcumin analogs) were synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR, and elemental analysis techniques. All of the prepared compounds were screened for antitumor activities against MGC-803, PC3, and Bcap-37 cancer cell lines. A significant inhibition for cancer cells were observed with compound 5f and also less toxic on NIH3T3 normal cells. The mechanism of cell death induced by compound 5f was further investigated by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, Hoechst 33,258 staining, TUNEL assay, and flow cytometry cytometry, which revealed that the compound can induce cell apoptosis in MGC-803 cells. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that most of the derivatives could inhibit the growth of human cancer cell lines. In addition, compound 5f could induce apoptosis of cancer cells, and it should be subjected to further investigation as a potential anticancer drug candidate.

The impact of sphingosine kinase inhibitor-loaded nanoparticles on bioelectrical and biomechanical properties of cancer cells. LAB ON A CHIP 2016; 16:188-98.

Abstract
Cancer progression and physiological changes within the cells are accompanied by alterations in the biophysical properties. Therefore, the cell biophysical properties can serve as promising markers for cancer detection and physiological activities. To aid in the investigation of the biophysical markers of cells, a microfluidic chip has been developed which consists of a constriction channel and embedded microelectrodes. Single-cell impedance magnitudes at four frequencies and entry and travel times are measured simultaneously during their transit through the constriction channel. This microchip provides a high-throughput, label-free, automated assay to identify biophysical signatures of malignant cells and monitor the therapeutic efficacy of drugs. Here, we monitored the dynamic cellular biophysical properties in response to sphingosine kinase inhibitors (SphKIs), and compared the effectiveness of drug delivery using poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with SphKIs versus conventional delivery. Cells treated with SphKIs showed significantly higher impedance magnitudes at all four frequencies. The bioelectrical parameters extracted using a model also revealed that the highly aggressive breast cells treated with SphKIs shifted electrically towards that of a less malignant phenotype; SphKI-treated cells exhibited an increase in cell-channel interface resistance and a significant decrease in specific membrane capacitance. Furthermore, SphKI-treated cells became slightly more deformable as measured by a decrease in their channel entry and travel times. We observed no significant difference in the bioelectrical changes produced by SphKI delivered conventionally or with NPs. However, NPs-packaged delivery of SphKI decreased the cell deformability. In summary, this study showed that while the bioelectrical properties of the cells were dominantly affected by SphKIs, the biomechanical properties were mainly changed by the NPs.

Abstract
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is the currently employed therapeutic intervention against AIDS where a drug combination is used to reduce the viral load. The present work envisages the development of a stealth anti-CD4 conjugated immunoliposomes containing two anti-retroviral drugs (nevirapine and saquinavir) that can selectively home into HIV infected cells through the CD4 receptor. The nanocarrier was characterized using transmission electron microscopy, FTIR, differential scanning calorimetry, particle size and zeta potential. The cell uptake was also evaluated qualitatively using confocal microscopy and quantitatively by flow cytometry. The drug to lipid composition was optimized for maximum encapsulation of the two drugs. Both drugs were found to localize in different regions of the liposome. The release of the reverse transcriptase inhibitor was dominant during the early phases of the release while in the later phases, the protease inhibitor is the major constituent released. The drugs delivered via anti-CD4 conjugated immunoliposomes inhibited viral proliferation at a significantly lower concentration as compared to free drugs. In vitro studies of nevirapine to saquinavir combination at a ratio of 6.2:5 and a concentration as low as 5 ng/mL efficiently blocked viral proliferation suggesting that co-delivery of anti-retroviral drugs holds a greater promise for efficient management of HIV-1 infection.

Abstract
Targeted delivery systems of nanobiomaterials are necessary to be developed for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Nanobiomaterials can be engineered to recognize cancer-specific receptors at the cellular levels and to deliver anticancer drugs into the diseased sites. In particular, nanobiomaterial-based nanocarriers, so-called nanoplatforms, are the design of the targeted delivery systems such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles/micelles, nanoconjugates, norganic materials, carbon-based nanobiomaterials, and bioinspired phage system, which are based on the nanosize of 1-100 nm in diameter. In this review, the design and the application of these nanoplatforms are discussed at the cellular levels as well as in the clinics. We believe that this review can offer recent advances in the targeted delivery systems of nanobiomaterials regarding in vitro and in vivo applications and the translation of nanobiomaterials to nanomedicine in anticancer therapy.
