Abstract
Green coffee bean extract (GCBE) provides diversified health benefits. However, its reported low bioavailability impeded its utilization in various applications. In this study, GCBE-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were prepared to improve the bioavailability through enhanced intestinal absorption of GCBE. During the preparation of promising GCBE-loaded SLNs, the lipid concentration, surfactant concentration, and co-surfactant amount are crucial that were optimized using the Box-Behnken design, while particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), ζ-potential, entrapment efficiency, and cumulative drug release were the measured responses. GCBE-SLNs were successfully developed by a high shear homogenization technique using geleol as a solid lipid, tween 80 as a surfactant, and propylene glycol as Co-SAA. The optimized SLNs contained 5.8% geleol, 5.9% tween 80, and 80.4 mg PG resulting in a small particle size of 235.7 ± 12.5 nm, reasonably acceptable PDI of 0.417 ± 0.023, and ζ-potential of -15 ± 0.14 mV, with a high entrapment efficiency of 58.3 ± 0.85% and cumulative release of 7575 ± 0.78%. Furthermore, the performance of the optimized GCBE-SLN was evaluated using an ex vivo everted sac model where the intestinal permeation of GCBE was improved due to nanoencapsulation using SLN. Consequently, the results enlightened the auspicious potential of exploiting oral GCBE-SLNs for boosting intestinal absorption of chlorogenic acid.

Anti-CD44 and EGFR Dual-Targeted Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for Delivery of Doxorubicin to Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cell Line: Preparation, Statistical Optimization, and In Vitro Characterization. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:6253978. [PMID: 35845934 PMCID: PMC9279089 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6253978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Background Despite being more aggressive than other types of breast cancer, there is no suitable treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we designed doxorubicin-containing solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) decorated with anti-EGFR/CD44 dual-RNA aptamers, which are overexpressed in TNBC. For more efficiency in the nuclear delivery of doxorubicin, dexamethasone (Dexa) was chemically attached to the surface of nanoparticles. Methods To prepare the cationic SLNs, 6-lauroxyhexyl BOC-ornithine (LHON) was synthesized and was chemically attached to dexamethasone to form Dexa-LHON complexes. The doxorubicin-containing SLNs were prepared via double emulsification (w/o/w) and the solvent evaporation technique. The preparation of SLNs was statistically optimized using the central composite response surface methodology. Independent factors were the GMS/lecithin concentration ratio and the amount of Tween 80, while responses considered were particle size, polydispersity index, and entrapment efficiency of the nanoparticles. The optimized nanoparticles were studied morphologically using transmission electron microscopy, and in vitro release of doxorubicin from nanoparticles was studied in phosphate-buffered saline. Then, the designated aptamers were attached to the surface of nanoparticles using electrostatic interactions, and their cytotoxicity was assessed in vitro. Results The size, PDI, zeta potential, EE%, and LE% of the prepared nanoparticles were 101 ± 12.6 nm, 0.341 ± 0.005, +13.6 ± 1.83 mV, 69.98 ± 7.54%, and 10.2 ± 1.06%, respectively. TEM images revealed spherical nanoparticles with no sign of aggregation. In vitro release study exhibited that 96.1 ± 1.97% of doxorubicin was released within 48 h of incubation. The electrostatic attachment of the designated aptamers to the nanoparticles' surface was confirmed by reducing the zeta potential to −15.6 ± 2.07 mV. The in vitro experiments revealed that the SLNs/DOX/Dexa/CD44 or EGFR aptamers were substantially more successful than SLNs/DOX/Dexa at inhibiting cell proliferation. Using the MDA-MB-468 cell line, we discovered that SLN/DOX/Dexa/CD44/EGFR aptamers were more effective than other constructs in inhibiting cell proliferation (p < 0.001). The reduction of cell viability using this construct suggests that targeting numerous proliferation pathways is effective. Conclusion Overall, the finding of this investigation suggested that SLNs/DOX/Dexa/CD44/EGFR could be a promising new enhanced anticancer delivery system and deserved further preclinical consideration.

Abstract
Pulmonary mold infections are life-threatening diseases with high morbi-mortalities. Treatment is based on systemic antifungal agents belonging to the families of polyenes (amphotericin B) and triazoles. Despite this treatment, mortality remains high and the doses of systemic antifungals cannot be increased as they often lead to toxicity. The pulmonary aerosolization of antifungal agents can theoretically increase their concentration at the infectious site, which could improve their efficacy while limiting their systemic exposure and toxicity. However, clinical experience is poor and thus inhaled agent utilization remains unclear in term of indications, drugs, and devices. This comprehensive literature review aims to describe the pharmacokinetic behavior and the efficacy of inhaled antifungal drugs as prophylaxes and curative treatments both in animal models and humans.

Abstract
Chronic pulmonary diseases encompass different persistent and lethal diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cystic fibrosis (CF), asthma, and lung cancers that affect millions of people globally. Traditional pharmacotherapeutic treatment approaches (i.e., bronchodilators, corticosteroids, chemotherapeutics, peptide-based agents, etc.) are not satisfactory to cure or impede diseases. With the advent of nanotechnology, drug delivery to an intended site is still difficult, but the nanoparticle's physicochemical properties can accomplish targeted therapeutic delivery. Based on their surface, size, density, and physical-chemical properties, nanoparticles have demonstrated enhanced pharmacokinetics of actives, achieving the spotlight in the drug delivery research field. In this review, the authors have highlighted different nanoparticle-based therapeutic delivery approaches to treat chronic pulmonary diseases along with the preparation techniques. The authors have remarked the nanosuspension delivery via nebulization and dry powder carrier is further effective in the lung delivery system since the particles released from these systems are innumerable to composite nanoparticles. The authors have also outlined the inhaled particle's toxicity, patented nanoparticle-based pulmonary formulations, and commercial pulmonary drug delivery devices (PDD) in other sections. Recently advanced formulations employing nanoparticles as therapeutic carriers for the efficient treatment of chronic pulmonary diseases are also canvassed.
