Abstract
Pulmonary drug delivery has the advantages of being rapid, efficient, and well-targeted, with few systemic side effects. In addition, it is non-invasive and has good patient compliance, making it a highly promising drug delivery mode. However, there have been limited studies on drug delivery via pulmonary inhalation compared with oral and intravenous modes. This paper summarizes the basic research and clinical translation of pulmonary inhalation drug delivery for the treatment of diseases and provides insights into the latest advances in pulmonary drug delivery. The paper discusses the processing methods for pulmonary drug delivery, drug carriers (with a focus on various types of nanoparticles), delivery devices, and applications in pulmonary diseases and treatment of systemic diseases (e.g., COVID-19, inhaled vaccines, diagnosis of the diseases, and diabetes mellitus) with an updated summary of recent research advances. Furthermore, this paper describes the applications and recent progress in pulmonary drug delivery for lung diseases and expands the use of pulmonary drugs for other systemic diseases.

Nano and microparticle drug delivery systems for the treatment of Brucella infections. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 169:115875. [PMID: 37979375 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115875] [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: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Nano-based drug delivery systems are increasingly used for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of several diseases, thanks to several beneficial properties, including the ability to target specific cells or organs, allowing to reduce treatment costs and side effects frequently associated with chemotherapeutic medications, thereby improving treatment compliance of patients. In the field of communicable diseases, especially those caused by intracellular bacteria, the delivery of antibiotics targeting specific cells is of critical importance to maximize their treatment efficacy. Brucella melitensis, an intracellular obligate bacterium surviving and replicating inside macrophages is hard to be eradicated, mainly because of the low ability of antibiotics to enter these phagocityc cells . Although different antibiotics regimens including gentamicin, doxycycline and rifampicin are in fact used against the Brucellosis, no efficient treatment has been attained yet, due to the intracellular life of the respective pathogen. Nano-medicines responding to environmental stimuli allow to maximize drug delivery targeting macropages, thereby boosting treatment efficacy. Several drug delivery nano-technologies, including solid lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, chitosan, niosomes, and their combinations with chitosan sodium alginate can be employed in combination of antibiotics to successfully eradicate Brucellosis infection from patients.

Abstract
Progress in macrophage research is crucial for numerous applications in medicine, including cancer and infectious diseases. However, the existing methods to manipulate living macrophages are labor-intense and inconvenient. Here, we show that macrophage membranes can be reconstituted after storage for months at 4 °C, with their CD206 receptor selectivity and specificity being similar to those in the living cells. Then, we have developed a mannose ligand, specific to CD206, linked with PEG as an IR spectroscopy marker to detect binding with the macrophage receptor. PEG was selected due to its unique adsorption band of the C-O-C group at IR spectra, which does not overlap with other biomolecules' spectroscopic feature. Next, competitive binding assay versus the PEG-bound ligand has enabled the selection of other higher-affinity ligands specific to CD206. Furthermore, those higher-affinity ligands were used to differentiate activated macrophages in a patient's bronchoalveolar (BAL) or nasopharyngeal (NPL) lavage. CD206- control cells (HEK293T) showed only non-specific binding. Therefore, biochips based on reconstituted macrophage membranes as well as PEG-trimannoside as an IR spectroscopic marker can be used to develop new methods facilitating macrophage research and macrophage-focused drug discovery.

Abstract
The World Health Organization identifies tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as a leading infectious killer. Although conventional treatments for TB exist, they come with challenges such as a heavy pill regimen, prolonged treatment duration, and a strict schedule, leading to multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains. The rise of MDR strains endangers future TB control. Despite these concerns, the hunt for an efficient treatment continues. One breakthrough has been the use of nanotechnology in medicines, presenting a novel approach for TB treatment. Nanocarriers, such as lipid nanoparticles, nanosuspensions, liposomes, and polymeric micelles, facilitate targeted delivery of anti-TB drugs. The benefits of nanocarriers include reduced drug doses, fewer side effects, improved drug solubility, better bioavailability, and improved patient compliance, speeding up recovery. Additionally, nanocarriers can be made even more targeted by linking them with ligands such as mannose or hyaluronic acid. This review explores these innovative TB treatments, including studies on nanocarriers containing anti-TB drugs and related patents.

Abstract
The pro-inflammatory response of alveolar macrophages to injurious physical forces during mechanical ventilation is regulated by the anti-inflammatory microRNA, miR-146a. Increasing miR-146a expression to supraphysiologic levels using untargeted lipid nanoparticles reduces ventilator-induced lung injury but requires a high initial dose of miR-146a making it less clinically applicable. In this study, we developed mannosylated lipid nanoparticles that can effectively mitigate lung injury at the initiation of mechanical ventilation with lower doses of miR-146a. We used a physiologically relevant humanized in vitro coculture system to evaluate the cell-specific targeting efficiency of the mannosylated lipid nanoparticle. We discovered that mannosylated lipid nanoparticles preferentially deliver miR-146a to alveolar macrophages and reduce force-induced inflammation in vitro. Our in vivo study using a clinically relevant mouse model of hemorrhagic shock-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome demonstrated that delivery of a low dose of miR-146a (0.1 nmol) using mannosylated lipid nanoparticles dramatically increases miR-146a levels in mouse alveolar macrophages and decreases lung inflammation. These data suggest that mannosylated lipid nanoparticles may have the therapeutic potential to mitigate lung injury during mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
The excessive inflammatory response is known to be a major challenge for diabetic wound healing, while bacteria secreted toxin, α-hemolysin (Hlα), was recently reported to prolong inflammation and delay diabetic wound healing. In this study, we designed a red blood cell membrane (RBCM)-mimicking liposome containing curcumin (named RC-Lip) for the treatment of diabetic wounds. RC-Lips were successfully fabricated using the thin film dispersion method, and the fusion of RBC membrane with the liposomal membrane was confirmed via surface protein analysis. RC-Lips efficiently adsorbed Hlα, thereby reducing the damage and pro-apoptotic effects of Hlα on keratinocytes. Furthermore, they remarkably facilitated liposome uptake into macrophages with advanced curcumin release and regulation of M2 macrophage polarization. In a diabetic mouse and infected wound model, RC-Lips treatment significantly promoted wound healing and re-epithelialization while downregulating interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and upregulating interleukin-10 (IL-10). In summary, the results showed that the spongiform RC-Lips effectively modulate the inflammatory response after adsorbing Hlα and regulating M2 macrophage polarization, leading to a significant promotion of wound healing in diabetic mice. Hence, this study provides a prospective strategy of efficiently mediating inflammatory response for diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections are representative difficult-to-cure lung diseases with high incidence. Conventional treatments have several limitations such as negative side effects and increased drug resistance due to long-term administration. To overcome these limitations, there is a growing need for more stable drug delivery systems. Among the various drug delivery platforms developed thus far, solid lipid nanoparticles can be effectively loaded with hydrophobic substances and their physicochemical properties can be easily manipulated through surface modification, which makes them highly suitable drug delivery materials. Recent studies have reported the successful development of nanoparticles capable of selectively delivering drugs by targeting lectin-like receptors overexpressed on the surface of immune cells. Among these lectin-like receptors, the mannose receptor is a promising target because it is expressed on the surface of macrophages and is involved in immune activity. This study sought to synthesize rifampicin-loaded mannose surface-modified solid lipid nanoparticles (Man-RIF SLNs). The Man-RIF SLN synthesis process was first optimized, after which the characteristics of the synthesized particles were analyzed using dynamic light scattering (DLS), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The surface modification with mannose was confirmed through FT-IR analysis. More importantly, the synthesized Man-RIF SLNs exhibited antibacterial and anti-biofilm properties against Mycobacterium intracellulare, a causative agent of non-tuberculous lung disease. Therefore, this study demonstrated that mannose receptor-targeted rifampicin delivery through solid lipid nanoparticles can be effectively applied to the treatment of non-tuberculous lung disease. Moreover, Man-RIF SLNs could also be used for the targeted delivery of drugs to several types of carcinoma cells or immune cells, as well as to treat lung diseases.

Abstract
The use of oral antibiotic therapy for the treatment of respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis has promoted the appearance of side effects as well as resistance to these treatments. The low solubility, high metabolism, and degradation of drugs such as rifabutin, have led to the use of combined and prolonged therapies, which difficult patient compliance. In this work, we develop inhalable formulations from biomaterials such as protamine to improve the therapeutic effect. Rifabutin-loaded protamine nanocapsules (NCs) were prepared by solvent displacement method and were physico-chemically characterized and evaluated for their dissolution, permeability, stability, cytotoxicity, hemocompatibility, internalization, and aerodynamic characteristics after a spray-drying procedure. Protamine NCs presented a size of around 200 nm, positive surface charge, and drug association up to 54%. They were stable as suspension under storage, as well as in biological media and as a dry powder after lyophilization in the presence of mannitol. Nanocapsules showed a good safety profile and cellular uptake with no tolerogenic effect on macrophages and showed good compatibility with red blood cells. Moreover, the aerodynamic evaluation showed a fine particle fraction deposition up to 30% and a mass median aerodynamic diameter of about 5 µm, suitable for the pulmonary delivery of therapeutics.

Abstract
Bleomycins (BLMs) are widely used in clinics as antitumor agents. However, BLM-based chemotherapies often accompany severe pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Human bleomycin hydrolase is a cysteine protease that can convert BLMs into inactive deamido-BLMs. In this study, mannose-modified hierarchically porous UiO-66 (MHP-UiO-66) nanoparticles (NPs) were used to encapsulate the recombinant human bleomycin hydrolase (rhBLMH). When rhBLMH@MHP-UiO-66 was intratracheally instilled into the lungs, the NPs were transported into the epithelial cells, and rhBLMH prevented the lungs from PF during BLM-based chemotherapies. Encapsulation of rhBLMH in the MHP-UiO-66 NPs protects the enzyme from proteolysis in physiological conditions and enhances cellular uptake. In addition, the MHP-UiO-66 NPs significantly enhance the pulmonary accumulation of intratracheally instilled rhBLMH, thus providing more efficient protection of the lungs against BLMs during the chemotherapies.

Abstract
The pro-inflammatory response of alveolar macrophages to injurious physical forces during mechanical ventilation is regulated by the anti-inflammatory microRNA, miR-146a. Increasing miR-146a expression to supraphysiologic levels using untargeted lipid nanoparticles reduces ventilator-induced lung injury, but requires a high initial dose of miR-146a making it less clinically applicable. In this study, we developed mannosylated lipid nanoparticles that can effectively mitigate lung injury at the initiation of mechanical ventilation with lower doses of miR-146a. We used a physiologically relevant humanized in vitro co-culture system to evaluate the cell-specific targeting efficiency of the mannosylated lipid nanoparticle. We discovered that mannosylated lipid nanoparticles preferentially deliver miR-146a to alveolar macrophages and reduce force-induced inflammation in vitro . Our in vivo study using a clinically relevant mouse model of hemorrhagic shock-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome demonstrated that delivery of a low dose miR-146a (0.1 nmol) using mannosylated lipid nanoparticles dramatically increases miR-146a in mouse alveolar macrophages and decreases lung inflammation. These data suggest that mannosylated lipid nanoparticles may have therapeutic potential to mitigate lung injury during mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
Visualization of the interaction of drugs with biological cells creates new approaches to improving the bioavailability, selectivity, and effectiveness of drugs. The use of CLSM and FTIR spectroscopy to study the interactions of antibacterial drugs with latent bacterial cells localized in macrophages create prospects to solve the problems of multidrug resistance (MDR) and severe cases. Here, the mechanism of rifampicin penetration into E. coli bacterial cells was studied by tracking the changes in the characteristic peaks of cell wall components and intracellular proteins. However, the effectiveness of the drug is determined not only by penetration, but also by efflux of the drugs molecules from the bacterial cells. Here, the efflux effect was studied and visualized using FTIR spectroscopy, as well as CLSM imaging. We have shown that because of efflux inhibition, eugenol acting as an adjuvant for rifampicin showed a significant (more than three times) increase in the antibiotic penetration and the maintenance of its intracellular concentration in E. coli (up to 72 h in a concentration of more than 2 μg/mL). In addition, optical methods have been applied to study the systems containing bacteria localized inside of macrophages (model of the latent form), where the availability of bacteria for antibiotics is reduced. Polyethylenimine grafted with cyclodextrin carrying trimannoside vector molecules was developed as a drug delivery system for macrophages. Such ligands were absorbed by CD206+ macrophages by 60-70% versus 10-15% for ligands with a non-specific galactose label. Owing to presence of ligands with trimannoside vectors, the increase in antibiotic concentration inside macrophages, and thus, its accumulation into dormant bacteria, is observed. In the future, the developed FTIR+CLSM techniques would be applicable for the diagnosis of bacterial infections and the adjustment of therapy strategies.

Mannosylated Systems for Targeted Delivery of Antibacterial Drugs to Activated Macrophages. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232416144. [PMID: 36555785 PMCID: PMC9787453 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232416144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Macrophages are a promising target for drug delivery to influence macrophage-associated processes in the body, namely due to the presence of resistant microorganisms in macrophages. In this work, a series of mannosylated carriers based on mannan, polyethylenimine (PEI) and cyclodextrin (CD) was synthesized. The molecular architecture was studied using FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The particle size, from small 10-50 nm to large 500 nm, depending on the type of carrier, is potentially applicable for the creation of various medicinal forms: intravenous, oral and inhalation. Non-specific capture by cells with a simultaneous increase in selectivity to CD206+ macrophages was achieved. ConA was used as a model mannose receptor, binding galactosylated (CD206 non-specific) carriers with constants of the order of 104 M-1 and mannosylated conjugates of 106-107 M-1. The results of such primary "ConA-screening" of ligands are in a good agreement in terms of the comparative effectiveness of the interaction of ligands with the CD206+ macrophages: non-specific (up to 10%) absorption of highly charged and small particles; weakly specific uptake of galactosylated polymers (up to 50%); and high affine capture (more than 70-80%) of the ligands with grafted trimannoside was demonstrated using the cytometry method. Double and multi-complexes of antibacterials (moxifloxacin with its adjuvants from the class of terpenoids) were proposed as enhanced forms against resistant pathogens. In vivo pharmacokinetic experiments have shown that polymeric carriers significantly improve the efficiency of the antibiotic: the half-life of moxifloxacin is increased by 2-3 times in conjugate-loaded forms, bio-distribution to the lungs in the first hours after administration of the drug is noticeably greater, and, after 4 h of observation, free moxifloxacin was practically removed from the lungs of rats. Although, in polymer systems, its content is significant-1.2 µg/g. Moreover, the importance of the covalent crosslinking carrier with mannose label was demonstrated. Thus, this paper describes experimental, scientifically based methods of targeted drug delivery to macrophages to create enhanced medicinal forms.

Abstract
Bacterial infections and especially resistant strains of pathogens localized in macrophages and granulomas are intractable diseases that pose a threat to millions of people. In this paper, the theoretical and experimental foundations for solving this problem are proposed due to two key aspects. The first is the use of a three-component polymer system for delivering fluoroquinolones to macrophages due to high-affinity interaction with mannose receptors (CD206). Cytometry assay determined that 95.5% macrophage-like cells were FITC-positive after adding high-affine to CD206 trimannoside conjugate HPCD-PEI1.8-triMan, and 61.7% were FITC-positive after adding medium-affine ligand with linear mannose label HPCD-PEI1.8-Man. The second aspect is the use of adjuvants, which are synergists for antibiotics. Using FTIR and NMR spectroscopy, it was shown that molecular containers, namely mannosylated polyethyleneimines (PEIs) and cyclodextrins (CDs), load moxifloxacin (MF) with dissociation constants of the order of 10−4–10−6 M; moreover, due to prolonged release and adsorption on the cell membrane, they enhance the effect of MF. Using CLSM, it was shown that eugenol (EG) increases the penetration of doxorubicin (Dox) into cells by an order of magnitude due to the creation of defects in the bacterial wall and the inhibition of efflux proteins. Fluorescence spectroscopy showed that 0.5% EG penetrates into bacteria and inhibits efflux proteins, which makes it possible to increase the maximum concentration of the antibiotic by 60% and maintain it for several hours until the pathogens are completely neutralized. Regulation of efflux is a possible way to overcome multiple drug resistance of both pathogens and cancer cells.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is among the greatest public health and safety concerns in the 21st century, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB, infects alveolar macrophages and uses these cells as one of its primary sites of replication. The current TB treatment regimen, which consist of chemotherapy involving a combination of 3-4 antimicrobials for a duration of 6-12 months, is marked with significant side effects, toxicity, and poor compliance. Targeted drug delivery offers a strategy that could overcome many of the problems of current TB treatment by specifically targeting infected macrophages. Recent advances in nanotechnology and material science have opened an avenue to explore drug carriers that actively and passively target macrophages. This approach can increase the drug penetration into macrophages by using ligands on the nanocarrier that interact with specific receptors for macrophages. This review encompasses the recent development of drug carriers specifically targeting macrophages actively and passively. Future directions and challenges associated with development of effective TB treatment is also discussed.

Abstract
Macrophages are the most important innate immune cells that participate in various inflammation-related diseases. Therefore, macrophage-related pathological processes are essential targets in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Since nanoparticles (NPs) can be preferentially taken up by macrophages, NPs have attracted most attention for specific macrophage-targeting. In this review, the interactions between NPs and the immune system are introduced to help understand the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of NPs in immune cells. The current design and strategy of NPs modification for specific macrophage-targeting are investigated and summarized.

Abstract
Rational search of a ligand for a specific receptor is a cornerstone of a typical drug discovery process. However, to make it more “rational” one would appreciate having detailed information on the functional groups involved in ligand-receptor interaction. Typically, the 3D structure of a ligand-receptor complex can be built on the basis of time-consuming X-ray crystallography data. Here, a combination of FTIR and fluorescence methods, together with appropriate processing, yields valuable information about the functional groups of both the ligand and receptor involved in the interaction, with the simplicity of conventional spectrophotometry. We have synthesized the “molecular containers” based on cyclodextrins, polyethyleneimines (PEI) or spermine with mannose-rich side-chains of different molecular architecture (reticulated, star-shaped and branched) with variable parameters to facilitate delivery to alveolar macrophages. We have shown that synthetic mannose-rich conjugates are highly affine to the model mannose receptor ConA: Kd ≈ 10−5–10−7 M vs. natural ligand trimannoside (10−5 M). Further, it was shown that molecular containers effectively load levofloxacin (dissociation constants are 5·10−4–5·10−6 M) and the eugenol adjuvant (up to 15–80 drug molecules for each conjugate molecule) by including them in the cyclodextrins cavities, as well as by interacting with polymer chains. Promising formulations of levofloxacin and its enhancer (eugenol) in star-shaped and polymer conjugates of high capacity were obtained. UV spectroscopy demonstrated a doubling of the release time of levofloxacin into the external solution from the complexes with conjugates, and the effective action time (time of 80% release) was increased from 0.5 to 20–70 h. The synergy effect of antibacterial activity of levofloxacin and its adjuvants eugenol and apiol on Escherichia coli was demonstrated: the minimum effective concentration of the antibiotic was approximately halved.

Abstract
This work pledge to extend the therapeutic windows of hybrid nanoparticulate systems by engineering mannose-decorated hybrid nanoparticles based on poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) and vegetable oil for efficient delivery of two lipophilic anti-inflammatory therapeutics (Celecoxib-CL and Indomethacin-IMC) to macrophages. The mannose surface modification of nanoparticles is achieved via O-palmitoyl-mannose spacer during the emulsification and nanoparticles assembly process. The impact of targeting motif on the hydrodynamic features (RH, PdI), stability (ζ-potential), drug encapsulation efficiency (DEE) is thoroughly investigated. Besides, the in vitro biocompatibility (MTT, LDH) and susceptibility of mannose-decorated formulations to macrophage as well their immunomodulatory activity (ELISA) are also evaluated. The monomodal distributed mannose-decorated nanoparticles are in the range of nanometric size (RH < 115 nm) with PdI < 0.20 and good encapsulation efficiency (DEE = 46.15% for CL and 76.20% for IMC). The quantitative investigation of macrophage uptake shows a 2-fold increase in fluorescence (RFU) of cells treated with mannose-decorated formulations as compared to non-decorated ones (p < 0.001) suggesting an enhanced cell uptake respectively improved macrophage targeting while the results of ELISA experiments suggest the potential immunomodulatory properties of the designed mannose-decorated hybrid formulations.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has been a dynamic field for formulation scientists with multidisciplinary research being conducted worldwide. Advancements in development of functional nanosystems have led to evolution of breakthrough technologies. Lipidic nanosystems, in particular, are highly preferred owing to their non-immunogenic safety profiles along with a range of versatile intrinsic properties. Surface modification of lipid nanoparticles by anchoring carbohydrates to these systems is one such attractive drug delivery technology. Carbohydrates confer interesting properties to the nanosystems such as stealth, biostability, bioavailability, reduced toxicity due to decreased immunogenic response, targeting potential as well as ease of commercial availability. The carbohydrate anchored systems can be developed using methods such as adsorption, incorporation (nanoprecipitation or solvent displacement method), crosslinking and grafting. Current review provides a detailed overview of potential lipid based nanoparticulate systems with an emphasis on liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructures lipid carriers and micelles. Review further explores basics of surface modification, methods applied therein, advantages of carbohydrates as surface modifiers, their versatile applications, techniques for characterization of carbohydrate anchored systems and vital regulatory aspects concerned with these specialized systems.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis refers to a unique form of chronic proinflammatory anomaly of the vasculature, presented as rupture-prone or occlusive lesions in arteries. In advanced stages, atherosclerosis leads to the onset and development of multiple cardiovascular diseases with lethal consequences. Inflammatory cytokines in atherosclerotic lesions contribute to the exacerbation of atherosclerosis. Pharmacotherapies targeting dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, and neutralizing inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, and IL-12/23) have displayed proven promises although contradictory results. Moreover, adjuvants such as melatonin, a pluripotent agent with proven anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and neuroprotective properties, also display potentials in alleviating cytokine secretion in macrophages through mitophagy activation. Here, we share our perspectives on this concept and present melatonin-based therapeutics as a means to modulate mitophagy in macrophages and, thereby, ameliorate atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Computer modeling of complexation of mono- and oligosaccharide ligands with the main (fourth) carbohydrate-binding domain of the mannose receptor CD206 (CRD4), as well as with the model receptor concanavalin A (ConA), was carried out for the first time, using methods of molecular dynamics and neural network analysis. ConA was shown to be a relevant model of CD206 (CRD4) due to similarity of the structural organization of the binding sites and high correlation of the values of free energies of complexation between the literature data and computer modeling (r > 0.9). Role of the main factors affecting affinity of the ligand–receptor interactions is discussed: the number and nature of carbohydrate residues, presence of Me-group in the O1 position, type of the glycoside bond in dimannose. Complexation of ConA and CD206 with ligands is shown to be energetically caused by electrostatic interactions (E) of the charged residues (Asn, Asp, Arg) with oxygen and hydrogen atoms in carbohydrates; contributions of hydrophobic and van der Waals components is lower. Possibility of the additional stabilization of complexes due to the CH–π stacking interactions of Tyr with the Man plane is discussed. The role of calcium and manganese ions in binding ligands has been studied. The values of free energies of complexation calculated in the course of molecular dynamics simulation correlate with experimental data (published for the model ConA): correlation coefficient r = 0.68. The Pafnucy neural network was trained based on the set of PDBbind2020 ligand–receptor complexes, which significantly increased accuracy of the energy predictions to r = 0.8 and 0.82 for CD206 and ConA receptors, respectively. A model of normalization of the complexation energy values for calculating the relevant values of ΔGbind, Kd is proposed. Based on the developed technique, values of the dissociation constants of a series of CD206 complexes with nine carbohydrate ligands of different structures were determined, which were not previously known. The obtained data open up possibilities for using computer modeling for the development of optimal drug carriers capable of active macrophage targeting, and also determine the limits of applicability of using ConA as a relevant model for studying parameters of the CD206 binding to various carbohydrate ligands.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient chronic disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which has affected mankind for more than 4,000 years. Compliance with the standard conventional treatment can assure recovery from tuberculosis, but emergence of drug resistant strains pose a great challenge for effective management of tuberculosis. The process of discovery and development of new therapeutic entities with better specificity and efficacy is unpredictable and time consuming. Hence, delivery of pre-existing drugs with improved targetability is the need of the hour. Enhanced delivery and targetability can ascertain improved bioavailability, reduced toxicity, decreased frequency of dosing and therefore better patient compliance. Nanoformulations are being explored for effective delivery of therapeutic agents, however optimum specificity is not guaranteed. In order to achieve specificity, ligands specific to receptors or cellular components of macrophage and Mycobacteria can be conjugatedto nanocarriers. This approach can improve localization of existing drug molecules at the intramacrophageal site where the parasites reside, improve targeting to the unique cell wall structure of Mycobacterium or improve adhesion to epithelial surface of intestine or alveolar tissue (lectins). Present review focuses on the investigation of various ligands like Mannose, Mycolic acid, Lectin, Aptamers etc. installed nanocarriers that are being envisaged for targeting antitubercular drugs.

Abstract
Rampant antimicrobial resistance calls for innovative strategies to effectively control bacterial infections, enhance antibacterial efficacy, minimize side effects, and protect existing antibiotics in the market. Therefore, to enhance the delivery of antibiotics and increase their bioavailability and accumulation at the site of infection, the surfaces of nano-drug delivery systems have been diversely modified. This strategy applies various covalent and non-covalent techniques to introduce specific coating materials that have been found to be effective against various sensitive and resistant microorganisms. In this review, we discuss the techniques of surface modification of nanocarriers loaded with antibacterial agents. Furthermore, saccharides, polymers, peptides, antibiotics, enzymes and cell membranes coatings that have been used for surface functionalization of nano-drug delivery systems are described, emphasizing current approaches for enhancing delivery, bioavailability, and efficacy of surface-modified antibacterial nanocarriers at infection sites. This article offers a critical overview of the potential of surface-modified antibacterial nanocarriers to overcome the limitations of conventional antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infections. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

Abstract
At present, some bacteria have developed significant resistance to almost all available antibiotics. One of the reasons that cannot be ignored is long-term exposure of bacteria to the sub-minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a targeted antibiotic delivery system to improve drug delivery behavior, in order to delay the generation of bacterial drug resistance. In recent years, with the continuous development of nanotechnology, various types of nanocarriers that respond to the infection microenvironment, targeting specific bacterial targets, and targeting infected cells, and so on, are gradually being used in the delivery of antibacterial agents to increase the concentration of drugs at the site of infection and reduce the side effects of drugs in normal tissues. Here, this article describes in detail the latest research progress on nanocarriers for antimicrobial, and commonly used targeted antimicrobial strategies. The advantages of the combination of nanotechnology and targeting strategies in combating bacterial infections are highlighted in this review, and the upcoming opportunities and remaining challenges in this field are rationally prospected.

Abstract
RNA interference-based gene silencing drugs are attracting attention for treating various diseases. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are carriers that efficiently deliver small interfering RNA (siRNA) to the cytoplasm of target cells. Recently, we developed potent and well-tolerated biodegradable LNPs with asymmetric ionizable lipids. Here, we evaluated the effect of LNPs on immune cells in mice. After intravenous administration, LNPs were efficiently incorporated into several tissue-resident macrophages, including liver macrophages, through an apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-independent mechanism. Administration of LNP-encapsulated siRNA against Irf5, encoding the transcription factor critical for inflammatory responses, sharply reduced its expression in macrophages in vivo, and persisted for as long as 7 days. The therapeutic potential of Irf5 siRNA-loaded LNPs in inflammatory diseases was tested in a concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatitis model, whose pathogenic mechanisms are dependent on cytokine secretion from macrophages. We found that Con A-induced liver injury was significantly attenuated after LNP injection. Serum aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase, and inflammatory cytokine levels were significantly reduced in mice injected with Irf5 siRNA-loaded LNPs compared to those injected with control siRNA-loaded LNPs. Our results suggest that administering biodegradable LNPs to deliver siRNA is a promising strategy for treating inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health as current antibiotics are becoming useless against resistant infectious pathogens. Consequently, new antimicrobial strategies are urgently required. Drug delivery systems represent a potential solution to improve current antibiotic properties and reverse resistance mechanisms. Among different drug delivery systems, solid lipid nanoparticles represent a highly interesting option as they offer many advantages for nontoxic targeted drug delivery. Several publications have demonstrated the capacity of SLNs to significantly improve antibiotic characteristics increasing treatment efficiency. In this review article, antibiotic-loaded solid lipid nanoparticle-related works are analyzed to summarize all information associated with applying these new formulations to tackle the antibiotic resistance problem. The main antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and relevant solid lipid nanoparticle characteristics are presented to later discuss the potential of these nanoparticles to improve current antibiotic treatment characteristics and overcome antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. Moreover, solid lipid nanoparticles also offer new possibilities for other antimicrobial agents that cannot be administrated as free drugs. The advantages and disadvantages of these new formulations are also discussed in this review. Finally, given the progress of the studies carried out to date, future directions are discussed.

Abstract
Respiratory disease is a common disease with a high incidence worldwide, which is a serious threat to human health, and is considered a societal and economic burden. The application of nanotechnology in drug delivery systems has created new treatments for respiratory diseases. Within this context, the present review systematically introduced the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles (NPs); reviewed the current research status of different nanocarriers in the treatment of respiratory diseases, including liposomes, solid lipid nanocarriers, polymeric nanocarriers, dendrimers, inorganic nanocarriers and protein nanocarriers; and discussed the main advantages and limitations of therapeutic nanomedicine in this field. The application of nanotechnology overcomes drug inherent deficiencies to a certain extent, and provides unlimited potential for the development of drugs to treat respiratory diseases. However, most of the related research work is in the preclinical experimental stage and safety assessment is still a challenging task. Future studies are needed to focus on the performance modification, molecular mechanism and potential toxicity of therapeutic nanomedicine.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) disease is caused due to the infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli which reside in alveolar macrophages (AMs). Clofazimine (CLF) has been reinstated clinically for the treatment of TB. However, major challenge of using CLF is its severe side-effects after oral administration. The present research was aimed to establish the safety and enhance the bioavailability of CLF by loading it into nanostructured lipid carriers (CLF-NLCs) and mannosylated NLCs (M-CLF-NLCs) to selectively target the drug toward AMs. The safety of CLF-NLCs and M-CLF-NLCs was evaluated by in vitro hemocompatibility studies, cell viability studies on macrophage J774 cell lines, and in vivo acute inhalation toxicity studies. The bioavailability was estimated by single-dose pharmacokinetics and biodistribution studies. Hemocompatibility studies showed normal RBCs count and least hemolysis of 0.23 ± 0.081% for M-CLF-NLCs treated group. Cell viability studies revealed greater safety of NLCs than CLF-drug dispersion in the concentration range of 2.5-25 μg/ml. In vivo acute toxicity studies revealed no physiological or behavioral changes and no mortality recorded over 14 days period. In pharmacokinetic studies, a maximum concentration of the drug (Cmax) of 35.44 ± 0.34 μg/g from M-CLF-NLCs after 48 h and longer residence time in lung tissues observed due to its sustained release and mannose receptor-mediated endocytosis. M-CLF-NLCs showed a maximum AUC0-∞ value of 2691.83 h μg/ml in lungs that indicated twofold greater bioavailability as compared to CLF-drug dispersion. Thus, mannosylated NLCs can be used as promising carriers for the safe and effective delivery of CLF via inhalation route for the management of TB disease.

Abstract
The main aim of the present investigation highlights the development of mannose appended rifampicin containing solid lipid nanoparticles (Mn-RIF-SLNs) for the management of pulmonary TB. The developed Mn-RIF-SLNs showed particle size of Mn-RIF-SLNs (479 ± 13 nm) which was found to be greater than that of unconjugated SLNs (456 ± 11 nm), with marginal reduction in percentage entrapment efficiency (79.41 ± 2.42%). The in vitro dissolution studies depicted an initial burst release followed by sustained release profile indicating biphasic release pattern, close-fitting Weibull model having least F-value. The cytotoxicity studies using J774A.1 cell line represented that the developed SLNs were non-toxic and safe as compared to free drug. Fluorescence imaging and flow cytometric (FACS) analysis depicted significant (1.79-folds) intracellular uptake of coumarin-6 (fluorescent marker) loaded Mn-C6-SLNs. The in vivo pharmacokinetic studies in sprague-dawley rats were performed and Mn-RIF-SLNs showed remarkable enhancement in terms of relative bioavailability (~17-folds) as compared to its drug solution via oral administration. The biodistribution studies revealed higher lung accumulation (1.8-folds) of Mn-RIF-SLNs as compared to the Un-RIF-SLNs. In conclusion, the developed Mn-RIF-SLNs could serve as a promising tool for delivering the drug cargo to the site of infection (lungs) in the treatment of TB.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is a topic of relevance worldwide because of the social and biological factors that triggered the disease and the economic burden on the health-care systems that imply its therapeutic treatment. Challenges to handle these issues include, among others, research on technological breakthroughs modifying the drug regimens to facilitate therapy adherence, avoid mycobacterium drug resistance, and minimize toxic side-effects. Lipid nanoparticles arise as a promising strategy in this respect as deduced from the reported scientific data. They are prepared from biodegradable and biocompatible starting materials and compared to the use of the free drugs, the entrapment of active molecules into the carriers might lead to both dose reduction and controlled delivery. Moreover, the target to the lung, the organ mainly affected by the disease, could be possible if the particle surface is modified. Although conclusive statements cannot be made considering the limited number of available research works, looking into what has been achieved up to now definitively encourages to continue investigations in this regard.

Exploiting surface endocytosis receptors using carbohydrate-conjugated nanocarriers brings outstanding approaches to an efficient delivery towards a specific target. Macrophages are cells of innate immunity found throughout the body. Plasticity of macrophages is evidenced by alterations in phenotypic polarization in response to stimuli, and is associated with changes in effector molecules, receptor expression, and cytokine profile. M1-polarized macrophages are involved in pro-inflammatory responses while M2 macrophages are capable of anti-inflammatory response and tissue repair. Modulation of macrophages’ activation state is an effective approach for several disease therapies, mediated by carbohydrate-coated nanocarriers. In this review, polymeric nanocarriers targeting macrophages are described in terms of production methods and conjugation strategies, highlighting the role of mannose receptor in the polarization of macrophages, and targeting approaches for infectious diseases, cancer immunotherapy, and prevention. Translation of this nanomedicine approach still requires further elucidation of the interaction mechanism between nanocarriers and macrophages towards clinical applications.

Abstract
Macrophages play a role in almost every disease such as cancer, infections, injuries, metabolic and inflammatory diseases and are becoming an attractive therapeutic target. However, understanding macrophage diversity, tissue distribution and plasticity will help in defining precise targeting strategies and effective therapies. Active targeting of macrophages using nanoparticles for therapeutic purposes is still at its infancy but holds promises since macrophages have shown high specific uptake of nanoparticles. Here, we highlight recent progress in active nanotechnology-based systems gaining pivotal roles to target diverse macrophage subsets in diseased tissues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium group contains several pathogenic bacteria including M. tuberculosis where the emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is alarming for human and animal health around the world. The condition has further aggravated due to the speed of discovery of the newer drugs has been outpaced by the rate of resistance developed in microorganisms, thus requiring alternative combat strategies. For this purpose, nano-antimicrobials have emerged as a potential option. OBJECTIVE The current review is focused on providing a detailed account of nanocarriers like liposome, micelles, dendrimers, solid lipid NPs, niosomes, polymeric nanoparticles, nano-suspensions, nano-emulsion, mesoporous silica and alginate-based drug delivery systems along with the recent updates on developments regarding nanoparticle-based therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostic methods developed or under pipeline with their potential benefits and limitations to combat mycobacterial diseases for their successful eradication from the world in future. RESULTS Distinct morphology and the underlying mechanism of pathogenesis and resistance development in this group of organisms urge improved and novel methods for the early and efficient diagnosis, treatment and vaccination to eradicate the disease. Recent developments in nanotechnology have the potential to meet both the aspects: nano-materials are proven components of several efficient targeted drug delivery systems and the typical physicochemical properties of several nano-formulations have shown to possess distinct bacteriocidal properties. Along with the therapeutic aspects, nano-vaccines and theranostic applications of nano-formulations have grown in popularity in recent times as an effective alternative means to combat different microbial superbugs. CONCLUSION Nanomedicine holds a bright prospect to perform a key role in global tuberculosis elimination program.

Abstract
The non-modified nanocarriers-based therapies for the treatment of cancer and other infectious diseases enhanced the chemical stability of therapeutically active agents, protected them from enzymatic degradation and extended their blood circulation time. However, the lack of specificity and off-target effects limit their applications. Mannose receptors overexpressed on antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages are one of the most desirable targets for treating cancer and other infectious diseases. Therefore, the development of mannosylated nanocarrier formulation is one of the most extensively explored approaches for targeting these mannose receptors. The present manuscript gives readers the background information on C-type lectin receptors followed by the roles, expression, and distribution of the mannose receptors. It further provides a detailed account of different mannosylated nanocarrier formulations. It also gives the tabular information on most relevant and recently granted patents on mannosylated systems. The overview of mannosylated nanocarrier formulations depicted site-specific targeting, enhanced pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profiles, and improved transfection efficiency of the therapeutically active agents. This suggests the bright future ahead for mannosylated nanocarriers in the treatment of cancer and other infectious diseases. Nevertheless, the mechanism behind the enhanced immune response by mannosylated nanocarriers and their thorough clinical and preclinical evaluation need to explore further.

Abstract
Many deadly infections are produced by microorganisms capable of sustained survival in macrophages. This reduces exposure to chemadrotherapy, prevents immune detection, and is akin to criminals hiding in police stations. Therefore, the use of glyco-nanoparticles (GNPs) as carriers of therapeutic agents is a burgeoning field. Such an approach can enhance the penetration of drugs into macrophages with specific carbohydrate targeting molecules on the nanocarrier to interact with macrophage lectins. Carbohydrates are natural biological molecules and the key constituents in a large variety of biological events such as cellular communication, infection, inflammation, enzyme trafficking, cellular migration, cancer metastasis and immune functions. The prominent characteristics of carbohydrates including biodegradability, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and the highly specific interaction of targeting cell-surface receptors support their potential application to drug delivery systems (DDS). This review presents the 21st century development of carbohydrate-based nanocarriers for drug targeting of therapeutic agents for diseases localized in macrophages. The significance of natural carbohydrate-derived nanoparticles (GNPs) as anti-microbial drug carriers is highlighted in several areas of treatment including tuberculosis, salmonellosis, leishmaniasis, candidiasis, and HIV/AIDS.

Abstract
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most alarming worldwide infectious diseases primarily in low-income countries, where the infection shows a higher and unvaried prevalence. In the last years, the emergence and spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains resistant to first-line anti-TB drugs are the cause of major concern and prompted the implementation of new treatments, including the development of new drugs and the repurposing of old ones. Areas covered: In this review, we discuss solutions against TB based on nanomaterials (NMTs), alone or combined with current anti-TB drugs. We will summarize drug delivery platforms tested in in vivo or in vitro models and their activity against mycobacteria. We will describe how the new nanotechnologies based on carbon nanomaterials, like carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide are now facing the panorama of the medical fight against TB. Expert opinion: We foresee that in the next decade carbon nanomaterials will be at the forefront in fighting emerging antibiotic-resistant Mtb strains by shortening treatment periods, reducing adverse effects and mitigating antibiotic use. However, toxicity and biodegradation studies should be done prior to the clinical translation of carbon nanomaterials.

Abstract
The application of nanomedicines is increasing rapidly with the promise of targeted and efficient drug delivery. Nanomedicines address the shortcomings of conventional therapy, as evidenced by several preclinical and clinical investigations indicating site-specific drug delivery, reduced side effects, and better treatment outcome. The development of suitable and biocompatible drug delivery vehicles is a prerequisite that has been successfully achieved by using simple and functionalized liposomes, nanoparticles, hydrogels, micelles, dendrimers, and mesoporous particles. A variety of drug delivery vehicles have been established for the targeted and controlled delivery of therapeutic agents in a wide range of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia, asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. After successful outcomes in preclinical and clinical trials, many of these drugs have been marketed for human use, such as Abraxane®, Caelyx®, Mepact®, Myocet®, Emend®, and Rapamune®. Apart from drugs/compounds, novel therapeutic agents, such as peptides, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and genes have also shown potential to be used as nanomedicines for the treatment of several chronic ailments. However, a large number of extensive clinical trials are still needed to ensure the short-term and long-term effects of nanomedicines in humans. This review discusses the advantages of various drug delivery vehicles for better understanding of their utility in terms of current medical needs. Furthermore, the application of a wide range of nanomedicines is also described in the context of major chronic diseases.

Abstract
The present study reports about new solid lipid nanoparticle assemblies (SLNas) loaded with rifampicin (RIF) surface-decorated with novel mannose derivatives, designed for anti-tuberculosis (TB) inhaled therapy by dry powder inhaler (DPI). Mannose is considered a relevant ligand to achieve active drug targeting being mannose receptors (MR) overexpressed on membranes of infected alveolar macrophages (AM), which are the preferred site of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Surface decoration of SLNas was obtained by means of newly synthesized functionalizing compounds used as surfactants in the preparation of carriers. SLNas were fully characterized in vitro determining size, morphology, drug loading, drug release, surface mannosylation, cytotoxicity, macrophage internalization extent and ability to bind MR, and intracellular RIF concentration. Moreover, the influence of these new surface functionalizing agents on SLNas aerodynamic performance was assessed by measuring particle respirability features using next generation impactor. SLNas exhibited suitable drug payload, in vitro release, and more efficient ability to enter macrophages (about 80%) compared to bare RIF (about 20%) and to non-functionalized SLNas (about 40%). The involvement of MR-specific binding has been demonstrated by saturating MR of J774 cells causing a decrease of RIF intracellular concentration of about 40%. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the surface decoration of particles produced a poor cohesive powder with an adequate respirability (fine particle fraction ranging from about 30 to 50%). Therefore, the proposed SLNas may represent an encouraging opportunity in a perspective of an efficacious anti-TB inhaled therapy.

Abstract
Macrophages are considered as the most flexible cells of the hematopoietic system that are distributed in the tissues to act against pathogens and foreign particles. Macrophages are essential in maintaining homeostatic tissue processes, repair and immunity. Also, play important role in cytokine secretion and signal transduction of the infection so as to develop acquired immunity. Accounting to their involvement in pathogenesis, macrophages present a therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory respiratory diseases. This review focuses on novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) including nanoparticles, liposomes, dendrimers, microspheres etc that can target alveolar macrophage associated with inflammation, intracellular infection and lung cancer. The physiochemical properties and functional moieties of the NDDS attributes to enhanced macrophage targeting and uptake. The NDDS are promising for sustained drug delivery, reduced therapeutic dose, improved patient compliance and reduce drug toxicity. Further, the review also discuss about modified NDDS for specificity to the target and molecular targeting via anti-microbial peptides, kinases, NRF-2 and phosphodiesterase.

Abstract
Background & objectives Mycobacterium avium causes atypical infection in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Conventional chemotherapy for M. avium infection is not efficient due to lengthy course of treatment and drug-associated toxic side effects. The present study was aimed at reducing dosing frequency of antimicrobial regimen consisting of azithromycin (AZM), rifabutin (RBT) and ethambutol (EMB) by encapsulation of drugs in nanoparticles (NPs) in experimental M. avium infection in mice. Methods Poly (DL-lactide-co-glycolide) NPs containing anti-M. avium drugs were prepared, characterized and studied for their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics parameters. Drug-loaded NPs were further analyzed for their therapeutic efficacy against experimental M. avium infection in mice. Results Drug-loaded NPs were of size 227.3±16.4 for RBT, 334.35±11.7 for AZM and 509.85±20.5 for EMB with smooth surface morphology and negative zeta potential. AZM, EMB and RBT from NPs were detectable for 6, 4 and 5 days, respectively, in the mice plasma, whereas free drugs were cleared from mice circulation within 24 h. Chemotherapeutic effects of weekly administered drug-loaded NPs were equivalent to daily administered free drugs. Interpretation & conclusions Our findings showed that NPs gave sustained release of drugs inside plasma and organs, thus decreasing dosage frequency, and their weekly dosage had therapeutic efficacy equivalent to daily dosage of free drugs.
