Abstract
Lung cancer is the second-most common cancer and has the highest mortality among all cancer types. Nanoparticle (NP) drug delivery systems have been used to improve the therapeutic effectiveness of lung cancer, but rapid clearance and poor targeting limit their clinical utility. Here, we developed a nanomicelle-microsphere composite, in which doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded with spermine (Spm) modified poly (ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG-PCL) micelles, and then the nanomicelles were noncovalently adsorbed on the surface of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres. The attachment was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. In vitro cell experiments, MTT assays and intracellular uptake assays were used to demonstrate the cytotoxicity and the cellular uptake of micelles in A549 cells. In vivo biodistribution studies were conducted, an orthotopic lung cancer implantation model based on C57BL/6 mice was established, and then real-time fluorescence imaging analysis was used to study the targeted efficacy of the complex. A nanomicelle-microsphere composite was successively constructed. Moreover, Spm-modified micelles significantly enhanced cytotoxicity and displayed more efficient cellular uptake. Notably, an orthotopic lung cancer implantation model based on C57BL/6 mice was also successively established, and in vivo biodistribution studies confirmed that the complex greatly improved the distribution of DOX in the lungs and displayed notable tumor targeting. These results suggested that the nanomicelle-microsphere composite has potential application prospects in the targeted treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
Innovative methods and materials have been developed to overcome limitations associated with current drug delivery systems. Significant developments have led to the use of a variety of materials (as excipients) such as inorganic and metallic structures, marking a transition from conventional polymers. Inorganic materials, especially those possessing significant porosity, are emerging as good candidates for the delivery of a range of drugs (antibiotics, anticancer and anti-inflammatories), providing several advantages in formulation and engineering (encapsulation of drug in amorphous form, controlled delivery and improved targeting). This review focuses on key selected developments in porous drug delivery systems. The review provides a short broad overview of porous polymeric materials for drug delivery before focusing on porous inorganic materials (e.g. Santa Barbara Amorphous (SBA) and Mobil Composition of Matter (MCM)) and their utilisation in drug dosage form development. Methods for their preparation and drug loading thereafter are detailed. Several examples of porous inorganic materials, drugs used and outcomes are discussed providing the reader with an understanding of advances in the field and realistic opportunities.

Abstract
We report the preparation of polymer capsules containing liposomal subcompartments, termed capsosomes, and their ability for the sustained delivery of protein therapeutics. Capsosomes were formed through the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of polymers and protein-loaded liposomes, followed by the formation of a capsule membrane based on disulfide cross-linked poly(methacrylic acid). The loading capacities of a model cargo (lysozyme) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), an important neurotrophin that has significant physiological functions on the nervous system, were determined, and the long-term release kinetics of the proteins was investigated in simulated physiological conditions. The capsosomes exhibited protein loading and release behavior that can be tuned by the lipid composition of the liposomal compartments, where inclusion of anionic lipids resulted in enhanced protein loading and slower release over the course of 80 days. These findings highlight the potential of capsosomes for the long-term delivery of protein therapeutics.

Abstract
In the present research, the aqueous stability of leuprolide acetate (LA) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) medium was studied (pH = 2.0-7.4). For this purpose, the effect of temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH on the stability of LA during 35 days was investigated. Results showed that the aqueous stability of LA was higher at low temperatures. Degassing of the PBS medium partially increased the stability of LA at 4 °C, while did not change at 37 °C. The degradation of LA was accelerated at lower pH values. In addition, complexes of LA with different portions of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) were prepared through freeze-drying procedure and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses. Studying their aqueous stability at various pH values (2.0-7.4) showed LA/β-CD complexes exhibited higher stability when compared with LA at all pH values. The stability of complexes was also improved by increasing the portion of LA/β-CD up to 1/10.
