Abstract
Natural products have been widely recognized in clinical treatment because of their low toxicity and high activity. It is worth paying attention to modifying the biopolymer into nanostructures to give natural active ingredients additional targeting effects. In this study, based on the multifunctional modification of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), a nanoplatform encapsulating the unstable drug (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) was designed to deliver to atherosclerotic plaques. Acetalization cyclodextrin (PH-CD), which responds to low-pH environments, and hyaluronic acid cyclodextrin, which targets the CD44 receptor on macrophage membranes, were synthesized from β-CD and hyaluronic acid using acetalization and transesterification, respectively. The resulting dual-carrier nanoparticles (Double-NPs) loaded with ECG were prepared using a solvent evaporation method. The Double-NPs effectively scavenged reactive oxygen species, promoted macrophage migration, inhibited macrophage apoptosis, and suppressed abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells. Furthermore, the Double-NPs actively accumulated in atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE-/- mice fed with a high-fat diet, leading to a reduced plaque area, inflammatory infiltration, and plaque instability. Our findings demonstrate that the newly developed ECG nanopreparation represents an effective and safe nanotherapy for diseases such as atherosclerosis.

Comparative Investigation into the Roles of Imipenem:Cyclodextrin Complexation and Antibiotic Combination in Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance in Gram-Negative Bacteria. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1508. [PMID: 37895978 PMCID: PMC10609816 DOI: 10.3390/ph16101508] [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: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Extensively drug-resistant (XDR), multidrug-resistant (MDR) and pandrug-resistant (PDR) Gram-negative microorganisms (GNBs) are considered a significant global threat. β-lactam and aminoglycoside combinations and imipenem:cyclodextrin inclusion complexes were studied for the treatment of lethal GNBs. This is because of the broad empiric coverage of the two drugs and their possession of different spectra of activity. Two cyclodextrins (β- and hydroxy propyl β-cyclodextrins) were utilized for inclusion complex formation with imipenem using the physical and kneading methods. In silico investigation using the molecular docking and Fourier-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were employed to estimate binding constant and confirm complex formation, respectively. The in vitro effects of amikacin and imipenem combination in comparison to the effect of imipenem-β- and hydroxy propyl β-cyclodextrin (CD) complexes against Klebsiella spp. and Acinetobacter baumannii were studied. The isolated microorganisms' antimicrobial responsiveness to various antibiotics (19 antibiotics) was evaluated. It was found that piperacillin/tazobactam and gentamycin (resistance rates were 33.3% and 34%, respectively) were the most effective antimicrobials. The in vitro studies have been performed by the checkerboard technique and time-killing assay. The studied combination of amikacin and imipenem showed a substantial drop in bacterial count (p < 0.05). The in vitro studies demonstrated a synergism for the investigated combination. Conventional PCR was used in molecular studies to identify the resistance genes bla IMP and aac (6')-Ib. The blaIMP and aac (6')-Ib were recorded in 38.2% and 3.6% of the studied isolates, respectively. The in vitro studies showed synergistic effects among the tested antibiotics with FICIs of ≤0.5. Finally, the study compared the reduction in bacterial count between the tested antibiotic combinations and imipenem:CD physical and kneaded mixtures. Imipenem:CD inclusion complexes demonstrated a significant bacterial count reduction over the antibiotic combination. These results highlight the emerging role of CDs as safe biofunctional excipients in the combat against superbug bacterial resistance.

[PMID: 37662769 PMCID: PMC10472013 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry introduces us to the macrocyclic host cyclodextrin, which has a hydrophobic cavity. The hydrophobic cavity has a higher affinity for hydrophobic guest molecules and forms host-guest complexation with non-covalent interaction. Three significant cyclodextrin kinds are α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, and γ-cyclodextrin. The most often utilized is β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). An effective weapon against bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics is cyclodextrin. Several different kinds of cyclodextrin nanocarriers (β-CD, HP-β-CD, Meth-β-CD, cationic CD, sugar-grafted CD) are utilized to enhance the solubility, stability, dissolution, absorption, bioavailability, and permeability of the antibiotics. Cyclodextrin also improves the effectiveness of antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides, metallic nanoparticles, and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Again, cyclodextrin nanocarriers offer slow-release properties for sustained-release formulations where steady-state plasma antibiotic concentration is needed for an extended time. A novel strategy to combat bacterial resistance is a stimulus (pH, ROS)-responsive antibiotics released from cyclodextrin carrier. Once again, cyclodextrin traps autoinducer (AI), a crucial part of bacterial quorum sensing, and reduces virulence factors, including biofilm formation. Cyclodextrin helps to minimize MIC in particular bacterial strains, keep antibiotic concentrations above MIC in the infection site and minimize the possibility of antibiotic and biofilm resistance. Sessile bacteria trapped in biofilms are more resistant to antibiotic therapy than bacteria in a planktonic form. Cyclodextrin also involves delivering antibiotics to biofilm and resistant bacteria to combat bacterial resistance.

Abstract
The real problem in pharmaceutical preparation is drugs' poor aqueous solubility, low permeability through biological membranes, and short biological t1/2. Conventional drug delivery systems are not able to overcome these problems. However, cyclodextrins (CDs) and their derivatives can solve these challenges. This article aims to summarize and review the history, properties, and different applications of cyclodextrins, especially the ability of inclusion complex formation. It also refers to the effects of cyclodextrin on drug solubility, bioavailability, and stability. Moreover, it focuses on preparing and applying gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as novel drug delivery systems. It also studies the uses and effects of cyclodextrins in this field as novel drug carriers and targeting devices. The system formulated from AuNPs linked with CD molecules combines the advantages of both CD and AuNPs. Cyclodextrins benefit in increasing aqueous drug solubility, loading capacity, stability, and size control of gold NPs. Also, AuNPs are applied as diagnostic and therapeutic agents because of their unique chemical properties. Plus, AuNPs possess several advantages such as ease of detection, targeted and selective drug delivery, greater surface area, high loading efficiency, and higher stability than microparticles. In the present article, we tried to present the potential pharmaceutical applications of CD-derived AuNPs in biomedical applications including antibacterial, anticancer, gene-drug delivery, and various targeted drug delivery applications. Also, the article highlighted the role of CDs in the preparation and improvement of catalytic enzymes, the formation of self-assembling molecular print boards, the fabrication of supramolecular functionalized electrodes, and biosensors formation.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides, consisting of a macrocyclic ring of glucose subunits linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. The shape of CD molecules is similar to a truncated cone with a hydrophobic inner cavity and a hydrophilic surface, which allows the formation of inclusion complexes with various molecules. This review article summarises over 200 reports published by the end of 2021 that discuss the complexation of CDs with antibiotics and antibacterial agents, including beta-lactams, tetracyclines, quinolones, macrolides, aminoglycosides, glycopeptides, polypeptides, nitroimidazoles, and oxazolidinones. The review focuses on drug-delivery applications such as improving solubility, modifying the drug-release profile, slowing down the degradation of the drug, improving biological membrane permeability, and enhancing antimicrobial activity. In addition to simple drug/CD combinations, ternary systems with additional auxiliary substances have been described, as well as more sophisticated drug-delivery systems including nanosponges, nanofibres, nanoparticles, microparticles, liposomes, hydrogels, and macromolecules. Depending on the desired properties of the drug product, an accelerated or prolonged dissolution profile can be achieved when combining CD with antibiotics or antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
RATIONALE Tebipenem pivoxil (TBPM-PI) has been developed as the first oral carbapenem drug in the world to treat otolaryngological and respiratory infections in pediatric patients. Due to its structural properties and external factors, some related impurities, which may cause side effects in patients, might be formed during the synthesis and storage of TBPM-PI. It was vital to rapidly separate and identify the related impurities to guarantee the safe use of TBPM-PI. METHODS A method using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (QTOF-MS/MS) was developed to separate and detect TBPM-PI and related impurities in an oral pharmaceutical formulation. LC/MS and MS/MS spectra of these compounds in the formulation were acquired to confirm their elemental compositions and propose their structures based on LC/MS data and fragmentation pathways of available reference substances. RESULTS LC/MS parameters and MS/MS fragmentation pathways of reference substances of TBPM-PI and related impurities were summarized in detail. Based on this, a total of 23 related impurities were found and characterized in the oral pharmaceutical formulation. Eight of these were verified by comparison with reference substances and the structures of the other 15 were proposed for the first time. In addition, four of these compounds were produced by the reaction of excipients and pre-existing related impurities. CONCLUSIONS A UHPLC/QTOF-MS method was established and used for the separation and identification of 23 related impurities in a TBPM-PI oral pharmaceutical formulation. Moreover, it was proved that new related impurities could be produced by the reaction of excipients in the pharmaceutical formulation and related impurities in the corresponding active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the current research was the development hard cellulose capsules containing cefpodoxime proxetil (CEF) (BCS-Class II) encapsulated nanospheres of inclusion complexes with β-CD, HP-β-CD and M-β-CD for efficient antibacterial therapy. SIGNIFICANCE The reason for this phenomenon is to bring an innovative approach to effective oral antimicrobial therapy with hard cellulose capsules containing spray dried nanospheres of CEF with β-CD, HP-β-CD and M-β-CD by means of increased solubility, dissolution rate and improved antibacterial efficiency with lower oral dose. METHODS Phase solubility analyses was performed to evaluate the drug/CD interaction, involving the stoichiometry and apparent stability constant. Following the preparation of inclusion complexes by spray-drying method, complexes were characterized for physical, solid-state and microbiological analyses. In vitro dissolution from hard cellulose capsules containing CEF and CEF/β-CD, CEF/HP-β-CD and CEF/M-β-CD complexes were performed. RESULTS According to AL type phase solubility curves, complexes were formulated as 1:1 molar ratio. The solubility of pure CEF was determined as 0.241 ± 0.002 mg mL-1, the solubility of inclusion complexes increased solubility from 3 to 5 times. The strong host-guest interaction was confirmed for CEF/HP-β-CD and CEF/M-β-CD complexes with SEM, DSC, FT-IR and 1H-NMR analyses. Inclusion complexes were more efficient on bacterial cells (2-4 fold) than pure CEF both Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Hard-cellulose capsules filled with inclusion complexes exhibited significantly faster release than unprocessed CEF. CONCLUSION Hard-cellulose capsules containing CEF/HP-β-CD and CEF/M-β-CD complexes appear to be superior alternative to commercially available CEF tablets for effective antibacterial therapy.

Abstract
Biomolecules are very attractive nanomaterial components, generally, due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, abundance, renewability, and sustainability, as compared to other resources for nanoparticle-based delivery systems. Biomolecule-based nanoencapsulation and nanodelivery systems can be designed and engineered for antimicrobial cargos in order to surmount classical and current challenges, including the emergence of multi-drug resistant strains of microorganisms, the low effectiveness and limitations in the applicability of the present antimicrobials, and biofilm formation. This feature article highlights the recent applications and capabilities of biomacromolecule-based nanomaterials for the delivery and activity enhancement of antimicrobials, and disruption of biofilms. Unique properties of some nanomaterials, arising from specific biomacromolecules, were also emphasized. We expect that this review will be helpful to researchers in engineering new types of antimicrobial nanocarriers, hybrid particles and colloidal systems with tailored properties.

Abstract
The formation of cefuroxime axetil+cyclodextrin (CA+CD) complexes increases the aqueous solubility of CA, improves its physico-chemical properties, and facilitates a biomembrane-mediated drug delivery process. In CD-based tablet formulations, it is crucial to investigate the molecular details of complexes in final pharmaceutical preparation. In this study, Raman spectroscopy and mapping were applied for the detection and identification of chemical groups involved in α-, β-, γ-, and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD (2-HP- β-CD)+CA complexation process. The experimental studies have been complemented by molecular dynamics-based investigations, providing additional molecular details of CA+CD interactions. It has been demonstrated that CA forms the guest–host type inclusion complexes with all studied CDs; however, the nature of the interactions is slightly different. It seems that both α- and β-CD interact with furanyl and methoxy moieties of CA, γ-CD forms a more diverse pattern of interactions with CA, which are not observed in other CDs, whereas 2HP-β-CD binds CA with the contribution of hydrogen bonding. Apart from supporting this interpretation of the experimental data, molecular dynamics simulations allowed for ordering the CA+CD binding affinities. The obtained results proved that the molecular details of the host–guest complexation can be successfully predicted from the combination of Raman spectroscopy and molecular modeling.

A long-term controlled drug-delivery with anionic beta cyclodextrin complex in layer-by-layer coating for percutaneous implants devices. Carbohydr Polym 2021; 257:117604. [PMID: 33541637 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2020.117604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2020] [Revised: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 12/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
This study demonstrated a drug-delivery system with anionic beta cyclodextrin (β-CD) complexes to retain tetracycline (TC) and control its release from multilayers of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(l-lysine) (PLL) in a ten double layers ([PAA/PLL]10) coating onto titanium. The drug-delivery capacity of the multilayer system was proven by controlled drug release over 15 days and sustained released over 30 days. Qualitative images confirmed TC retention within the layer-by-layer (LbL) over 30 days of incubation. Antibacterial activity of TC/anionic β-CD released from the LbL was established against Staphylococcus aureus species. Remarkably, [PAA/PLL]10/TC/anionic β-CD antibacterial effect was sustained even after 30 days of incubation. The non-cytotoxic effect of the multilayer system revealed normal human gingival fibroblast growth. It is expected that this novel approach and the chemical concept to improve drug incorporation into the multilayer system will open up possibilities to make the drug release system more applicable to implantable percutaneous devices.

Tedizolid-Cyclodextrin System as Delayed-Release Drug Delivery with Antibacterial Activity. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 22:ijms22010115. [PMID: 33374358 PMCID: PMC7795824 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22010115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Progressive increase in bacterial resistance has caused an urgent need to introduce new antibiotics, one of them being oxazolidinones with their representative tedizolid. Despite the broad spectrum of activity of the parent tedizolid, it is characterized by low water solubility, which limits its use. The combination of the active molecule with a multifunctional excipient, which is cyclodextrins, allows preservation of its pharmacological activity and modification of its physicochemical properties. Therefore, the aim of the study was to change the dissolution rate and permeability through the model membrane of tedizolid by formation of solid dispersions with a cyclodextrin. The research included identification of tedizolid-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (tedizolid/HP-β-CD) inclusion complex by thermal method (Differential Scanning Colorimetry), spectroscopic methods (powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy), and molecular docking. The second part of the research concerned the physicochemical properties (dissolution and permeability) and the biological properties of the system in terms of its microbiological activity. An increase in the dissolution rate was observed in the presence of cyclodextrin, while maintaining a high permeation coefficient and high microbiological activity. The proposed approach is an opportunity to develop drug delivery systems used in the treatment of resistant bacterial infections, in which, in addition to modifying the physicochemical properties caused by cyclodextrin, we observe a favorable change in the pharmacological potential of the bioactives.

Abstract
The nutraceutical system of curcumin-piperine in 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was prepared by using the kneading technique. Interactions between the components of the system were defined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Application of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin as a carrier-solubiliser improved solubility of the curcumin-piperine system, its permeability through biological membranes (gastrointestinal tract, blood-brain barrier) as well as the antioxidant, antimicrobial and enzyme inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase.

Abstract
Background: A novel multicomponent complex (MC) of ketoconazole (KET) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) was developed with the purpose of improving the solubility as well as the antifungal and antibiofilm activity of KET against Candida albicans. Results & methodology: The interactions among the components were studied using nuclear magnetic resonance, thermal analysis, powder x-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Phase-solubility studies demonstrated a considerable increase in the solubility of the MC. An enhancement in antibiofilm and antifungal activity of MC was determined against C. albicans by XTT assay and microbiological studies. Conclusion: This MC, with improvements in the drug pharmaceutical performance, might have an important potential in the development of new pharmaceutical formulations of KET.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate changes in the solubility and antimicrobial efficacy of cefuroxime axetil (CA) when incorporated into cyclodextrin (CD). While choosing the CD, the validated in silico model was used. A theoretical model based on docking and molecular mechanics/generalized born surface area was validated using a curated dataset of API (active pharmaceutical ingredient)-CD stability constants. The library of commonly used cyclodextrins was virtually screened, indicating CA -hydroxypropyl-βCD (HPβCD) as the most thermodynamically favored system. Solid-state CA-HPβCD system was prepared and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRPD) methods. The dissolution profiles of the CA and its cyclodextrin system were evaluated. Microbiological activity of the CA-HPβCD inclusion system was studied based on changes in minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and related to ones of the pure CA. The theoretical model was successfully validated, obtaining an average correlation with experimental data R = 0.7. The dissolution study showed significantly improved dissolution profiles of CA-HPβCD compared to CA. HPβCD increases the antimicrobial efficacy of CA up to 4-fold compared to pure CA.

Machine Learning Approach for Determining the Formation of β-Lactam Antibiotic Complexes with Cyclodextrins Using Multispectral Analysis. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24040743.

Abstract
The problem of determining the formation of complexes of β-lactam antibiotics with cyclodextrins (CDs) and the interactions involved in this process were addressed by machine learning on multispectral images. Complexes of β-lactam antibiotics, including cefuroxime axetil, cefetamet pivoxil, and pivampicillin, as well as CDs, including αCD, βCD, γCD, hydroxypropyl-αCD, methyl-βCD, hydroxypropyl-βCD, and hydroxypropyl-γCD, were prepared in all combinations. Thermograms confirming the formation of cyclodextrin complexes were obtained using differential scanning calorimetry. Transmission Fourier-transform infrared (tFTIR) and complementary attenuated total reflectance FTIR (ATR) coupled with machine learning were techniques chosen as a nondestructive alternative. The machine learning algorithm was used to determine the formation of complexes in samples using solely their tFTIR and ATR spectra at the prediction stage. Parameterized method 7 (PM7) was used to support the analysis by molecular modeling of the complexes. The model developed through machine learning properly distinguished samples with formed complexes form noncomplexed samples with a cross-validation accuracy of 90.4%. Analysis of the contribution of spectral bands to the model indicated interactions of ester groups of β-lactam antibiotics with CDs, as well as some interactions of cephem ring in cefetamet pivoxil and penam moiety in pivampicillin. Molecular modeling with PM7 helped to explain experimental results and allowed to propose possible binding modes.
