Akbarzadeh Gondoghdi P, Khorsandi M, Mokhtarpour M, Shekaari H, Hamishehkar H. Effect of 2-hydroxyethylammonium carboxylate protic ionic liquids on the solubility and cytotoxicity of indomethacin. BMC Chem 2024; 18:109. [PMID: 38831344 PMCID: PMC11145891 DOI: 10.1186/s13065-024-01212-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Recently, there is a particular interest to utilize protic ionic liquids (PILs) in drug solubility. This study is exploring the effect of three protic ionic liquids (PILs) based on 2-hydroxyethylammonium carboxylate [2-hydroxyethylammonium acetate (MEAA), 2-hydroxyethylammonium lactate (MEAL), and 2-hydroxyethylammonium propionate (MEAP)] on the solubility of the very poorly soluble drug in water, indomethacin (IMC). The shake flask method was used to measure the experimental solubility of IMC at the different temperatures range (298.15-313.15) K. The results demonstrate significantly enhancment the solubility of IMC in PILs compared to pure water, with an approximate increase of 200 times. The experimental solubility data have been correlated using the empirical models which showed the performance as the order: Modified Apelblat-Jouyban-Acree > Van't Hoff-Jouyban-Acree > Modified Apelblat equations and also the performance for the Wilson model indicated as the order (absolute relative deviation): 2-hydroxyethylammonium acetate (3.030) > 2-hydroxyethylammonium propionate (3.239) > 2-hydroxyethylammonium lactate (7.665). Then the thermodynamic dissolution properties were obtained by usage of Gibbs and Van't Hoff equations to investigate the thermodynamic behavior of the IMC in the aqueous solution PILs. Eventually, the cytotoxicity of the co-solvents (PILs) under study was evaluated using a standard MTT assay. The results showed that the cell viability percentage increased in the following order: MEAA < MEAP < MEAL. These findings indicated that these PILs had low to moderate toxicity. It is noteworthy that the functional groups of the anions were not the only determinant factor of the cytotoxicity. Other factors encompassing concentration, exposure time, and cell line characteristics also had significant effects.

Potential Use of the Cholesterol Transfer Inhibitor U18666A as a Potent Research Tool for the Study of Cholesterol Mechanisms in Neurodegenerative Disorders. Mol Neurobiol 2024; 61:3503-3527.

Abstract
Cholesterol is an essential component of mammalian cell membranes and a precursor for crucial signaling molecules. The brain contains the highest level of cholesterol in the body, and abnormal cholesterol metabolism links to many neurodegenerative disorders. The results indicate that faulty cholesterol metabolism is a common feature among people living with neurodegenerative conditions. The researchers suggest that restoring cholesterol levels may become a beneficial new strategy in treating certain neurodegenerative conditions. Several neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease, and Parkinson's disease (PD), have been connected to abnormalities in brain cholesterol metabolism. Consequently, using a lipid research tool is vital to study further and understand the effect of lipids in neurodegenerative disorders such as NPC, AD, PD, and Huntington's disease (HD). U18666A, also known as 3-(2-(diethylamino) ethoxy) androst-5-en-17-one, is a pharmaceutical drug that suppresses cholesterol trafficking and is a well-known class-2 amphiphile. U18666A has performed many functions, allowing for essential discoveries in lipid studies and shedding light on the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, U18666A prevented the downregulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors that are induced by LDL and led to the buildup of cholesterol in lysosomes. Numerous studies show that U18666A impacts the function of cholesterol trafficking to control the metabolism and transport of amyloid precursor proteins (APPs). Treating cortical neurons with U18666A may provide a new in vitro model system for studying the underlying molecular process of NPC, AD, HD, and PD. In this article, we review the mechanism and function of U18666A as a vital tool for studying cholesterol mechanisms in neurological diseases related to abnormal cholesterol metabolism, such as AD, NPC, HD, and PD.

Tuning of the Anti-Breast Cancer Activity of Betulinic Acid via Its Conversion to Ionic Liquids. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:496. [PMID: 38675157 PMCID: PMC11053683 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16040496] [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: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Betulinic acid (BA) is a natural pentacyclic triterpene with diverse biological activities. However, its low water solubility limits its pharmaceutical application. The conversion of pharmaceutically active molecules into ionic liquids (ILs) is a promising strategy to improve their physicochemical properties, stability, and/or potency. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of 15 novel ILs containing a cation ethyl ester of a polar, non-polar, or charged amino acid [AAOEt] and an anion BA. Except for [ValOEt][BA], we observed preserved or up to 2-fold enhanced cytotoxicity toward hormone-dependent breast cancer cells MCF-7. The estimated IC50 (72 h) values within the series varied between 4.8 and 25.7 µM. We found that the most cytotoxic IL, [LysOEt][BA]2, reduced clonogenic efficiency to 20% compared to that of BA. In addition, we evaluated the effect of a 72 h treatment with BA or [LysOEt][BA]2, the most cytotoxic compound, on the thermodynamic behavior of MCF-7 cells. Based on our data, we suggest that the charged amino acid lysine included in the novel ILs provokes cytotoxicity by a mechanism involving alteration in membrane lipid organization, which could be accompanied by modulation of the visco-elastic properties of the cytoplasm.

Binding Study of Antibacterial Drug Ciprofloxacin with Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids Having Different Halide Anions: A Spectroscopic and Density Functional Theory Analysis. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:42699-42710. [PMID: 38024745 PMCID: PMC10653064 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
Herein, we have shown the interaction of an antibiotic drug ciprofloxacin (CIP) with three surface-active ionic liquids (ILs), having the same cation and different anions, namely, 1-decyl-3-methylimidazoliumtetrafluoroborate [C10mim][BF4], 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [C10mim][Br], and 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [C10mim][Cl]. This study has been performed by exploiting various spectroscopic techniques such as steady-state fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence, and UV-visible spectroscopy. The fluorescence emission study of CIP with ILs was performed at various concentrations of all the three ILs. The emission spectra of CIP decreased in the presence of ILs, suggesting complex formation between CIP-IL. The effect of different concentrations of ILs on the emission spectra of CIP was exploited in terms of quenching and binding parameters. Further, fluorescence emission study was validated by the time-resolved fluorescence technique by measuring the average lifetime (τavg) of CIP in the presence of all the three ILs. The τavg value of the drug changed with the addition of ILs, which suggests complex formation between the drug and ILs. This complex formation was also confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy results of CIP with all the three ILs. Further, for evaluating the thermodynamic parameters of the CIP-IL interactions, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was performed. The ITC experiment yielded the thermodynamic parameters, ΔH (change in the enthalpy of association), ΔG (Gibbs free energy change), ΔS (entropy change), and binding constant (Ka). The binding parameters driven by ITC revealed that CIP-IL interactions are spontaneous in nature and enthalpy-driven, involving hydrophobic forces. Further, the classical density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed, which provided deep insight for CIP-IL complex formation.

Abstract
This mini-review focuses on the various roles that ionic liquids (ILs) play in the development and applications of biopolymer-based drug delivery systems (DDSs). Biopolymers are particularly attractive as drug delivery matrices due to their biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, biodegradability, and strength, whereas ILs can assist the formation of drug delivery systems. In this work, we showcase the different strategies that were explored using ILs in biopolymer-based DDSs, including impregnation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)-ILs into biopolymeric materials, employment of the ILs to simplify the process of making the biopolymer-based DDSs, and using the ILs either as dopants or as anchoring agents.

Abstract
Topical drug delivery provides several benefits over other conventional routes by providing localizing therapeutic effects and also avoids the gastrointestinal tract circumventing the first-pass metabolism and enzymatic drug degradation. Being painless, the topical route also prevents the difficulties linked with the parenteral route. However, there are limitations to the current topical systems which necessitate the need for further research to find functional excipients to overcome these limitations. This review deals in depth with the ionic liquids concerning their physicochemical properties and applicability as well as their role in the arena of topical drug delivery in permeation enhancement, bioavailability enhancement of the drugs by solvation, and drug moiety modification. The review gives a detailed insight into the recent literature on ionic liquid-based topical formulations like ionic liquid-based emulsions, active pharmaceutical ingredient-ionic liquids, ionic liquid-based bacterial cellulose membranes, topical small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery, and ionogels as a possible solutions for overcoming the challenges associated with the topical route. This review also takes into account the toxicological aspects and biomedical applications of ionic liquids.

Abstract
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by deficient activity of human phenylalanine hydroxylase (hPAH), which can lead to neurologic impairments in untreated patients. Although some therapies are already available for PKU, these are not without drawbacks. Enzyme-replacement therapy through the delivery of functional hPAH could be a promising strategy. In this work, biophysical methods were used to evaluate the potential of [N1112(OH)][C4F9SO3], a biocompatible fluorinated ionic liquid (FIL), as a delivery system of hPAH. The results herein presented show that [N1112(OH)][C4F9SO3] spontaneously forms micelles in a solution that can encapsulate hPAH. This FIL has no significant effect on the secondary structure of hPAH and is able to increase its enzymatic activity, despite the negative impact on protein thermostability. The influence of [N1112(OH)][C4F9SO3] on the complex oligomerization equilibrium of hPAH was also assessed.

Abstract
The α- and β-tubulins are the major polypeptide components of microtubules (MTs), which are attractive targets for anticancer drug development. Indole derivatives display a variety of biological activities including antitumor activity. In recent years, a great number of indole derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors have sprung up, which encourages medicinal chemists to pursue promising inhibitors with improved antitumor activities, excellent physicochemical, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. In this review, the recent progress from 2010 to present in the development of indole derivatives as tubulin polymerization inhibitors was summarized and reviewed, which would provide useful clues and inspirations for further design of outstanding tubulin polymerization inhibitors.

[PMID: 34069716 PMCID: PMC8160721 DOI: 10.3390/ph14050486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2021] [Revised: 05/08/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
COVID-19 has been affecting millions of individuals worldwide and, thus far, there is no accurate therapeutic strategy. This critical situation necessitates novel formulations for already existing, FDA approved, but poorly absorbable drug candidates, such as niclosamide (NIC), which is of great relevance. In this context, we have rationally designed NIC-loaded hydrotalcite composite nanohybrids, which were further coated with Tween 60 or hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), and characterized them in vitro. The optimized nanohybrids showed particle sizes <300 nm and were orally administrated to rats to determine whether they could retain an optimum plasma therapeutic concentration of NIC that would be effective for treating COVID-19. The pharmacokinetic (PK) results clearly indicated that hydrotalcite-based NIC formulations could be highly potential options for treating the ongoing pandemic and we are on our way to understanding the in vivo anti-viral efficacy sooner. It is worth mentioning that hydrotalcite–NIC nanohybrids maintained a therapeutic NIC level, even above the required IC50 value, after just a single administration in 8–12 h. In conclusion, we were very successfully able to develop a NIC oral formulation by immobilizing with hydrotalcite nanoparticles, which were further coated with Tween 60 or HPMC, in order to enhance their emulsification in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Green solvents such as ionic liquids (ILs) unlock possibilities for developing innovative biomedical and pharmaceutical solutions. ILs are the most investigated solvents for compound extractions, as reaction media and/or catalysts, and a desired eco-friendly solvent to process biomacromolecules for biomaterial production. Investigations demonstrate that the tunable nature and physicochemical features of ILs are also beneficial for building up delivery systems through their combination with bioactive compounds. Bioactive compounds from synthetic origins, like ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and natural sources such as curcumin, flavonoids, and polyphenols are essential starting points as preventive and therapeutic agents for treating diseases. Therefore, the association of those compounds with ILs opens up windows of opportunities in this research field. This Review assesses some of the main and important recent information and the current challenges concerning delivery platforms based on ILs combined with bioactive compounds of both natural and synthetic origins. Moreover, the chemistry, bioavailability, and biological functions of the main bioactive compounds used in the ILs-based delivery platforms are described. These data are presented and are discussed, together with the main delivery routes of the systems.
