Abstract
Gram-positive bacterial infections are among the most serious diseases related with high mortality rates and huge healthcare costs especially with the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains that limits treatment options. Thus, development of new antibiotics combating these multi-drug resistant bacteria is crucial. Oxazolidinone antibiotics are the only totally synthetic group of antibiotics that showed activity against multi-drug resistant Gram positive bacteria including MRSA because of their unique mechanism of action in targeting protein synthesis. This group include approved marketed members (tedizolid, linezolid and contezolid) or those under development (delpazlolid, radezolid and sutezolid). Due to the significant impact of this class, larger number of analytical methods were required to meet the needs of both clinical and industrial studies. Analyzing these drugs either alone or with other antimicrobial agents commonly used in ICU, in the presence of pharmaceutical or endogenous biological interferences, or in the presence of matrix impurities as metabolites and degradation products poses a big analytical challenge. This review highlights current analytical approaches published in the last decade (2012-2022) that dealt with the determination of these drugs in different matrices and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. Various techniques have been described for their determination including chromatographic, spectroscopic, capillary electrophoretic and electroanalytical methods. The review comprises six sections (one for each drug) with their related tables that depict critical figures of merit and some experimental conditions for the reviewed methods. Furthermore, future perspectives about the analytical methodologies that can be developed in the near future for determination of these drugs are suggested.

Int J Pharm 2023:123067. [PMID: 37257794 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123067] [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: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
This study deals with the development of novel poly(lactic acid-co-polyethylene glycol) nanoparticles (PLA-PEG NPs) for the efficient and prolonged delivery of Linezolid (LNZ), a synthetic antibacterial agent used against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). A two-step synthetic strategy based on carbodiimide coupling and copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was first exploited for the conjugation of PLA with PEG. The encapsulation of LNZ into medium-molecular-weight PLA-PEG NPs was carried out by different methods including nanoprecipitation and dialysis. The optimal PLA-PEG@LNZ nanoformulation resulted in 3.5% LNZ payload (15% encapsulation efficiency, with a 10:3 polymer to drug ratio) and sustained release kinetics with 65% of entrapped antibiotic released within 80 h. Moreover, the zeta potential values (from -31 to -39 mV) indicated a good stability without agglomeration even after freeze-drying and lyophilization. The PLA-PEG@LNZ NPs exerted antimicrobial activity against a panel of Gram-positive bacteria responsible for human infections, such as S. aureus, MRSA, S. epidermidis, S. lugdunensis and vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE). Moreover, PLA-PEG@LNZ NPs showed inhibitory activity on both planktonic growth and preformed biofilm of MRSA. The antibacterial activity of LNZ incorporated in polymeric NPs was well preserved and the nanosystem served as an antibiotic enhancer with a potential role in MRSA-associated infections management.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24097963. [PMID: 37175671 PMCID: PMC10178203 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24097963] [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: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Orange peel, which is a rich source of polyphenolic compounds, including hesperidin, is produced as waste in production. Therefore, optimization of the extraction of hesperidin was performed to obtain its highest content. The influence of process parameters such as the kind of extraction mixture, its temperature and the number of repetitions of the cycles on hesperidin content, the total content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant (DPPH scavenging assay) as well as anti-inflammation activities (inhibition of hyaluronidase activity) was checked. Methanol and temperature were key parameters determining the efficiency of extraction in terms of the possibility of extracting compounds with the highest biological activity. The optimal parameters of the orange peel extraction process were 70% of methanol in the extraction mixture, a temperature of 70 °C and 4 cycles per 20 min. The second part of the work focuses on developing electrospinning technology to synthesize nanofibers of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) loaded with hesperidin-rich orange peel extract. This is a response to the circumvention of restrictions in the use of hesperidin due to its poor bioavailability resulting from low solubility and permeability. Dissolution studies showed improved hesperidin solubility (over eight-fold), while the PAMPA-GIT assay confirmed significantly better transmucosal penetration (over nine-fold). A DPPH scavenging assay of antioxidant activity as well as inhibition of hyaluronidase to express anti-inflammation activity was established for hesperidin in prepared electrospun nanofibers, especially those based on HPβCD and PVP. Thus, hesperidin-rich orange peel nanofibers may have potential buccal applications to induce improved systemic effects with pro-health biological activity.

Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes with Antibiotics and Antibacterial Agents as Drug-Delivery Systems—A Pharmaceutical Perspective. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14071389. [PMID: 35890285 PMCID: PMC9323747 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14071389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 06/23/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides, consisting of a macrocyclic ring of glucose subunits linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. The shape of CD molecules is similar to a truncated cone with a hydrophobic inner cavity and a hydrophilic surface, which allows the formation of inclusion complexes with various molecules. This review article summarises over 200 reports published by the end of 2021 that discuss the complexation of CDs with antibiotics and antibacterial agents, including beta-lactams, tetracyclines, quinolones, macrolides, aminoglycosides, glycopeptides, polypeptides, nitroimidazoles, and oxazolidinones. The review focuses on drug-delivery applications such as improving solubility, modifying the drug-release profile, slowing down the degradation of the drug, improving biological membrane permeability, and enhancing antimicrobial activity. In addition to simple drug/CD combinations, ternary systems with additional auxiliary substances have been described, as well as more sophisticated drug-delivery systems including nanosponges, nanofibres, nanoparticles, microparticles, liposomes, hydrogels, and macromolecules. Depending on the desired properties of the drug product, an accelerated or prolonged dissolution profile can be achieved when combining CD with antibiotics or antimicrobial agents.

Fabrication and Characterization of Tedizolid Phosphate Nanocrystals for Topical Ocular Application: Improved Solubilization and In Vitro Drug Release. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14071328.

Abstract
Positively charged NCs of TZP (0.1%, w/v) for ocular use were prepared by the antisolvent precipitation method. TZP is a novel 5-Hydroxymethyl-Oxazolidinone class of antibiotic and is effective against many drug-resistant bacterial infections. Even the phosphate salt of this drug is poorly soluble, therefore the NCs were prepared for its better solubility and ocular availability. P188 was found better stabilizer than PVA for TZP-NCs. Characterization of the NCs including the particle-size, PDI, and ZP by Zeta-sizer, while morphology by SEM indicated that the preparation technique was successful to get the optimal sized (151.6 nm) TZP-NCs with good crystalline morphology. Mannitol (1%, w/v) prevented the crystal growth and provided good stabilization to NC1 during freeze-drying. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the nano-crystallization did not alter the basic molecular structure of TZP. DSC and XRD studies indicated the reduced crystallinity of TZP-NC1, which potentiated its solubility. An increased solubility of TZP-NC1 (25.9 µgmL−1) as compared to pure TZP (18.4 µgmL−1) in STF with SLS. Addition of stearylamine (0.2%, w/v) and BKC (0.01%, w/v) have provided cationic (+29.4 mV) TZP-NCs. Redispersion of freeze-dried NCs in dextrose (5%, w/v) resulted in a clear transparent aqueous suspension of NC1 with osmolarity (298 mOsm·L−1) and viscosity (21.1 cps at 35 °C). Mannitol (cryoprotectant) during freeze-drying could also provide isotonicity to the nano-suspension at redispersion in dextrose solution. In vitro release in STF with SLS has shown relatively higher (78.8%) release of TZP from NC1 as compared to the conventional TZP-AqS (43.4%) at 12 h. TZP-NC1 was physically and chemically stable at three temperatures for 180 days. The above findings suggested that TZP-NC1 would be a promising alternative for ocular delivery of TZP with relatively improved performance.

Abstract
In situ forming implants (IFIs) are non-surgical approach using biodegradable polymers to treat bone fractures. The study aimed at preparing dual-drug-loaded IFIs to deliver pitavastatin (osteogenic drug) and tedizolid (antibiotic) using zein as the implant matrix via solvent-induced phase inversion method. At first, several investigations were done on pitavastatin-loaded zein IFIs, where three concentrations of zein were used (10, 20, and 30% w/v). IFIs were evaluated for their solidification time, rheological properties, injectability, and in vitro release. IFIs containing bioactive glass nanoparticles were prepared by the addition of non-doped bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGT0; 1, 3, 5, and 10% w/v) or titanium-doped bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGT5; 1% w/v) to the selected concentration of zein (30% w/v) and then evaluated. The optimized dual-medicated implant (D-ZIFI 1) containing pitavastatin, tedizolid, sodium hyaluronate (3% w/v), and BGT5 (1% w/v) was prepared and compared to IFI lacking both sodium hyaluronate and BGT5 (D-ZIFI 2). D-ZIFI 1 and 2 sustained the release profiles of both drugs for 28 days. SEM images proved the interconnected porous structure of D-ZIFI 1 due to sodium hyaluronate. In vivo studies on surgically induced bone defects in Sprague–Dawley rats signified the proper accelerated bone healing ability of D-ZIFI 1 over D-ZIFI 2. Results presented D-ZIFI 1 as a promising, effective, non-surgical approach for bone healing.

Abstract
The cyclodextrin (CD)-based supramolecular nanomedicines have attracted growing interest because of their superior characteristics, including desirable biocompatibility, low toxicity, unique molecular structure and easy functionalization. The smart structures of CD impart host-guest interaction for meeting the multifunctional needs of disease therapy. However, it faces challenges in formulation design and inclusion mechanism clarification of the functional supramolecular assemblies owing to the complicated structures and mechanisms. Fortunately, molecular docking helps the researchers to comprehend the interaction between the drug and the target molecule for achieving high-through screening from the database. In this review, we summarized the category and characteristics of molecular docking along with the properties and applications of CD. Significantly, we highlighted the application of molecular docking in elaborating molecular mechanisms and simulating complex structures at molecular levels. The issues and development of CD and molecular docking were also presented to provide beneficial reference and new insights for supramolecular nano-systems.

Abstract
Chitosan is a valued excipient due to its biocompatibility properties and increasing solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. The research presented in this paper concerns the preparation of binary combinations of chitosan (deacetylated chitin) with carvedilol (beta-blocker) to develop a formulation with a modified carvedilol release profile. As part of the research, six physical mixtures of chitosan with carvedilol were obtained and identified by spectral (PXRD, FT-IR, and Raman), thermal (DSC), and microscopic (SEM) methods. The next stage of the research estimated the profile changes and the dissolution rate for carvedilol in the obtained drug delivery systems; the reference sample was pure carvedilol. The studies were conducted at pH = 1.2 and 6.8, simulating the gastrointestinal tract conditions. Quantitative changes of carvedilol were determined using the developed isocratic UHPLC-DAD method. Established apparent permeability coefficients proved the changes in carvedilol's permeability after introducing a drug delivery system through membranes simulating the gastrointestinal tract and skin walls. A bioadhesive potential of carvedilol-chitosan systems was confirmed using the in vitro model. The conducted research and the obtained results indicate a significant potential of using chitosan as an excipient in modern oral or epidermal drug delivery systems of carvedilol.

Oxazolidinone Antibiotics: Chemical, Biological and Analytical Aspects. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26144280.

Abstract
This review covers the main aspects concerning the chemistry, the biological activity and the analytical determination of oxazolidinones, the only new class of synthetic antibiotics advanced in clinical use over the past 50 years. They are characterized by a chemical structure including the oxazolidone ring with the S configuration of substituent at C5, the acylaminomethyl group linked to C5 and the N-aryl substituent. The synthesis of oxazolidinones has gained increasing interest due to their unique mechanism of action that assures high antibiotic efficiency and low susceptibility to resistance mechanisms. Here, the main features of oxazolidinone antibiotics licensed or under development, such as Linezolid, Sutezolid, Eperezolid, Radezolid, Contezolid, Posizolid, Tedizolid, Delpazolid and TBI-223, are discussed. As they are protein synthesis inhibitors active against a wide spectrum of multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria, their biological activity is carefully analyzed, together with the drug delivery systems recently developed to overcome the poor oxazolidinone water solubility. Finally, the most employed analytical techniques for oxazolidinone determination in different matrices, such as biological fluids, tissues, drugs and natural waters, are reviewed. Most are based on HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) coupled with UV-Vis or mass spectrometer detectors, but, to a lesser extent are also based on spectrofluorimetry or voltammetry.
