Int Microbiol 2024; 27:513-523. [PMID: 37500935 DOI: 10.1007/s10123-023-00412-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate for the first time the role of S. cerevisiae natural barriers and endogenous cytoplasmatic bodies on the stabilization of fisetin encapsulated via sonoprocessing coupled to freeze-drying (FD) or spray drying (SD). Both protocols of encapsulation improved the resistance of fisetin against thermal treatments (between 60 and 150 °C) and photochemical-induced deterioration (light exposition for 60 days) compared to non-encapsulated fisetin (antioxidant activity retention of approximately 55% and 90%, respectively). When stored under constant relative humidity (from 32.8 to 90%) for 60 days, yeast carriers improved the half-life time of fisetin by up to 4-fold. Spray dried particles were smaller (4.9 μm) and showed higher fisetin release after simulated gastrointestinal digestion (55.7%) when compared to FD. Freeze-dried particles, in turn, tended to agglomerate more than SD (zeta potential -19.7 mV), resulting in reduced loading features (6.3 mg/g) and less efficient protection of fisetin to heat, photo, and moisture-induced deterioration. Overall, spray-dried sonoprocessed fisetin capsules are an efficient way to preserve fisetin against harsh conditions. Altogether, this report shows that sonoprocessing coupled to drying is an efficient, creative, and straightforward route to protect and deliver lipophilic fisetin using yeast capsules for food applications.

Abstract
Imatinib (IMB) is a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor with great application potential for inhibiting corneal neovascularization (CNV), but its poor water solubility limits its application in eye disease treatment. In this study, novel IMB@glycymicelles entrapped in hydrogel (called IMB@glycymicelle-hydrogel) were prepared, characterized, and evaluated for their therapeutic effects on corneal alkali burn in mice. Imatinib could be successfully loaded in glycymicelles using glycyrrhizin as a nanocarrier with an optimized weight ratio of IMB:nanocarrier. The apparent solubility of IMB was significantly improved from 61.69 ± 5.55 μg/mL to bare IMB to 359,967.62 ± 20,059.42 μg/mL to IMB@glycymicelles. Then, the IMB@glycymicelles were entrapped in hydrogel fabricated with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and sodium hyaluronate (HA) to prolong retention time on the ocular surface. Rabbit eye tolerance tests showed that IMB@glycymicelle-hydrogel possessed good ocular safety profiles. In a mouse model of corneal alkali burns, the topical administration of IMB@glycymicelle-hydrogel showed strong efficacy by prompting corneal wound healing, recovering corneal sensitivity, relieving corneal opacities, and inhibiting CNV, and these efficacy evaluation parameters were better than those of the positive drug HA. Overall, these results demonstrated that IMB@glycymicelle-hydrogel may be a promising candidate for the effective treatment of alkali ocular damage.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 258:128950. [PMID: 38143068 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
Resveratrol (RES) is a functional polyphenol that suffers from low water solubility and poor bioavailability. A novel RES-loaded soy protein isolate-dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (SPI-DG) nanocomplex (RES@SPI-DG) was designed and evaluated in this study. RES@SPI-DG was prepared using a simple but novel self-assembly ultrasonic-assisted pH-driven method. The interactions between RES and SPI-DG were non-covalent bonds, including hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and van der Waals interactions. RES@SPI-DG exhibited high encapsulation efficiency (97.60 ± 0.38 %) and loading capacity (8.74 ± 0.03 %) of RES with a uniform small size (68.39 ± 1.10 nm). RES in RES@SPI-DG was in an amorphous state and demonstrated a 24-h apparent solubility 482.53-fold higher than bare RES. RES@SPI-DG also showed strong in vitro antioxidant properties. The pH-responsive hydrogel character of SPI-DG makes it an effective intestine-targeted delivery system that could retard the release of RES in a simulated stomach and accelerate it in a simulated intestine. In animal experiments, the bioavailability of RES@SPI-DG was 5.17 times higher than that of bare RES, and the biodistribution was also significantly improved. RES@SPI-DG demonstrated a strong hepatoprotective effect against overdose acetaminophen-induced liver injury. The SPI-DG complex might be a promising nano-platform for enhancing the bioavailability and efficacy of hydrophobic polyphenols such as RES.

Abstract
A novel functional food for hyperlipidemia named icariin (ICA) pro-glycymicelles (ICA-PGs) using glycyrrhizin as a phytonanomaterial was easily prepared with improved storage, pH, and salt stabilities. ICA-PGs can easily dissolve in water to self-assemble into a clear glycymicelle solution with high ICA encapsulation efficiency. The ICA in ICA-PGs exhibits significantly increased aqueous solubility, faster in vitro release, and higher bioaccessibility than bare ICA. The ICA-PGs exhibited improved in vitro activities including antioxidant, anti-α-glucosidase, anti-lipase, and anti-cholesterol esterase activities. The ICA-PG also demonstrated improved antioxidant activity in cells. In vivo evaluation confirmed that the ICA-PG demonstrated a significant protective effect against experimental hyperlipidemia in mice, exhibiting decreasing levels of triglycerides (TGs), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) in the serum, and restoring the hepatic morphology to the normal state. These results indicated that the ICA-PG could improve in vitro/in vivo profiles of ICA, providing a new concept and a promising functional food for hyperlipidemia.

Novel carvedilol-loaded pro-phytomicelles: formulation, characterization and enhanced protective efficacy against acetaminophen-inducedliverinjury in mice. Int J Pharm 2022; 625:122127. [PMID: 35995319 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.122127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 07/31/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The work describes a novel, small-molecule phytochemicals as nanomaterials based pro-micelles (pro-phytomicelles) drug delivery system, for oral delivery of carvedilol (CAR). This novel nanoformulation of CAR, named CAR pro-phytomicelles, was prepared with rebaudioside A (RA) and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (DG) as mixed nanomaterials. The formulation was optimized, leading to a 502-fold increase in solubility of CAR in water as a result of encapsulation within mixed phytomicelles based on DG and RA. CAR pro-phytomicelles samples could be instantly dissolved into aqueous media to formulate clear phytomicelle solutions with CAR encapsulation efficiency of 99.67 ± 0.02 %, and small micelle size of 15.62 ± 0.27 nm. CAR pro-phytomicelles exhibited good storage stability, rapid in vitro release in simulated intestinal fluid, and improved in vitro antioxidant activity. CAR pro-phytomicelles had good biocompatibility. Protective efficacy evaluation revealed that acetaminophen overdose could induce high mortality and severe liver injury in mice, while CAR pro-phytomicelle treatment exhibited significant protective effect against acetaminophen overdose. This protective efficacy was due to a mechanism that involved the regulation of high-mobility group box 1 and its signaling-related proinflammatory cytokines. These results show that pro-phytomicelles could provide a new concept and promising therapeutics as nanomedicines for improving the activities of CAR against acetaminophen-induced liver injury.
