Development of functionalized poly(lactide) films with chitosan via SI-SARA ATRP as scaffolds for neuronal cell growth. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 273:132768. [PMID: 38823733 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132768] [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: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA), a polymer derived from renewable resources, is gaining increasing attention in the development of biomedical devices due to its cost-effectiveness, low immunogenicity, and biodegradability. However, its inherent hydrophobicity remains a problem, leading to poor cell adhesion features. On this basis, the aim of this work was to develop a method for functionalizing the surface of PLA films with a biopolymer, chitosan (CH), which was proved to be a material with intrinsic cell adhesive properties, but whose mechanical properties are insufficient to be used alone. The combination of the two polymers, PLA as a bulk scaffold and CH as a coating, could be a promising combination to develop a scaffold for cell growth. The modification of PLA films involved several steps: aminolysis followed by bromination to graft amino and then bromide groups, poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) grafting by surface-initiated supplemental activator and reducing agent atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-SARA ATRP) and finally the CH grafting. To prove the effective adhesive properties, conjugated and non-conjugated films were tested in vitro as substrates for neuronal cell growth using differentiated neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells. The results demonstrated enhanced cell growth in the presence of CH.

Improvement of the Ductility of Environmentally Friendly Poly(lactide) Composites with Posidonia oceanica Wastes Plasticized with an Ester of Cinnamic Acid. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4534. [PMID: 38231960 PMCID: PMC10708467 DOI: 10.3390/polym15234534] [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: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
New composite materials were developed with poly(lactide) (PLA) and Posidonia oceanica fibers through reactive extrusion in the presence of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and subsequent injection molding. The effect of different amounts of methyl trans-cinnamate (MTC) on the mechanical, thermal, thermomechanical, and wettability properties was studied. The results showed that the presence of Posidonia oceanica fibers generated disruptions in the PLA matrix, causing a decrease in the tensile mechanical properties and causing an impact on the strength due to the stress concentration phenomenon. Reactive extrusion with DCP improved the PO/PLA interaction, diminishing the gap between the fibers and the surrounding matrix, as corroborated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). It was observed that 20 phr (parts by weight of the MTC, per one hundred parts by weight of the PO/PLA composite) led to a noticeable plasticizing effect, significantly increasing the elongation at break from 7.1% of neat PLA to 31.1%, which means an improvement of 338%. A considerable decrease in the glass transition temperature, from 61.1 °C of neat PLA to 41.6 °C, was also observed. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed a loss of thermal stability of the plasticized composites, mainly due to the volatility of the cinnamate ester, leading to a decrease in the onset degradation temperature above 10 phr MTC.

Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable plastic, is used to substitute commercial plastics in various fields such as disposable packaging materials and mulching films. Although the biodegradation of PLA under submerged or composting conditions is accelerated, increasing the biodegradability of PLA under soil burial conditions is still a challenge. This study reviews and compares the PLA biodegradation ability of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Brevibacillus brevis, both PLA-degrading bacteria. The biodegradation ability of a single bacteria in non-composting conditions was evaluated. In addition, in terms of biostimulation, PLA biodegradation according to nitrogen sources was compared. As a result, a higher PLA biodegradation ability was found in B. brevis than in B. amyloliquefaciens. Moreover, it was confirmed that the biodegradation of the PLA film was increased by using soytone as a nitrogen source in both bacteria. Controlling the nitrogen source could be a new way to increase the biodegradation of PLA.

Abstract
Vaginal drug delivery systems can provide a long-term and constant liberation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient even for months. For our experiment, FDM 3D printing was used to manufacture the vaginal ring samples from thermoplastic polyurethane filament, which enables fast manufacturing of complex, personalized medications. 3D printing can be an excellent alternative instead of industrial manufacturing, which is complicated and time-consuming. In our work, the 3D printed vaginal rings were filled manually with jellified metronidazole or chloramphenicol for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. The need for manual filling was certified by the thermogravimetric and heatflow assay results. The manufactured samples were analyzed by an Erweka USP type II Dissolution Apparatus, and the dissolution profile can be distinguished based on the applied jellifying agents and the API's. All samples were considered non-similar based on the pairwise comparison. The biocompatibility properties were determined by prolonged MTT assay on HeLa cells, and the polymer could be considered non-toxic. Based on the microbiological assay on E. coli metronidazole and chitosan containing samples had bactericidal effects while just metronidazole or just chitosan containing samples bacteriostatic effect. None of these samples showed a fungistatic or fungicide effect against C. albicans. Based on our results, we successfully manufactured 3D printed vaginal rings filled with jellified metronidazole.

Abstract
The presence of additive manufacturing, especially 3D printing, has the potential to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing owing to the distinctive capabilities of personalized pharmaceutical manufacturing. This study's aim was to examine the behavior of commonly used polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) under in vitro dissolution conditions. Polylactic acid (PLA) was also used as a comparator. The carriers were designed and fabricated using computer-aided design (CAD). After printing the containers, the behavior of PVA under in vitro simulated biorelevant conditions was monitored by gravimetry and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods. The results show that in all the dissolution media PVA carriers were dissolved; the particle size was under 300 nm. However, the dissolution rate was different in various dissolution media. In addition to studying the PVA, as drug delivery carriers, the kinetics of drug release were investigated. These dissolution test results accompanied with UV spectrophotometry tracking indirectly determine the possibilities for modifying the output of quality by computer design.

Abstract
Lipase immobilization with hydrophobic interaction is of interesting exploration, and some functionalized groups on supports are special for activity increasing. To achieved a good performance of cost-effective immobilization on macro-supports for feasible usage and recycle, eco-friendly PLA-based 3D printing macro-scaffolds with fabrication was designed, and phenyl groups with different length of linkers and combined two kinds of groups were anchored for lipase YCJ01 binding with improving payload, the highest enzyme expression of 2227.5 U/g, activity recovery of 137.3%, and increasing specific activity of 815.9 U/mg were attained by using PLA@AMTS-C7-Ph/PLA@AMTS-C9-Ph scaffolds as carries. The immobilized lipase YCJ01 on bifunctionalized 3D printing scaffolds was further applied to the efficient resolution of racemic 1-indanol (267 mM) with high stereoselectivity using a binary solvent system. The immobilized lipase YCJ01 could control the over transesterification of (S)-1-indanol and exhibit good operational stability of repetitive usage for 9 cycles. This is beneficial to obtain the high enantiomerical pure product by feasible separation of immobilized biocatalyst without rigorous operation.

Abstract
One of the most promising emerging innovations in personalized medication is based on 3D printing technology. For use as authorized medications, 3D-printed products require different in vitro tests, including dissolution and biocompatibility investigations. Our objective was to manufacture implantable drug delivery systems using fused deposition modeling, and in vitro tests were performed for the assessment of these products. Polylactic acid, antibacterial polylactic acid, polyethylene terephthalate glycol, and poly(methyl methacrylate) filaments were selected, and samples with 16, 19, or 22 mm diameters and 0%, 5%, 10%, or 15% infill percentages were produced. The dissolution test was performed by a USP dissolution apparatus 1. A 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide dye (MTT)-based prolonged cytotoxicity test was performed on Caco-2 cells to certify the cytocompatibility properties. The implantable drug delivery systems were characterized by thermogravimetric and heatflow assay, contact angle measurement, scanning electron microscopy, microcomputed tomography, and Raman spectroscopy. Based on our results, it can be stated that the samples are considered nontoxic. The dissolution profiles are influenced by the material properties of the polymers, the diameter, and the infill percentage. Our results confirm the potential of fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing for the manufacturing of different implantable drug delivery systems in personalized medicine and may be applied during surgical interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Powered air-purifying respirators are in short supply and can break down with extended use. Replacement parts can become hard to acquire. The aim of this study was to create an innovative quality improvement proof of concept using rapid prototyping. METHODS Here we report three cases of 3D printed powered air-purifying respirator parts. 3D printing was performed on all parts using fused deposition modeling with standard polylactic acid, in the same way that presurgical models would be created. Measurements using an electronic caliper as well as CT scans were used to compare an original part to its corresponding 3D printed parts for accuracy. RESULTS Electronic caliper and computed tomography measurements both showed accuracy consistant with current published norms. CONCLUSIONS Ultimately, there will be questions surrounding intellectual property, effectiveness and potential long-term safety for these types of 3D printed parts. Future research should look into the addition of specific nanoparticles from the position of cost, efficacy, safety and improved accuracy.

Abstract
The process of 3D printing (3DP) was patented in 1986; however, the research in the field of 3DP did not become popular until the last decade. There has been an increasing research into the areas of 3DP for medical applications for fabricating prosthetics, bioprinting and pharmaceutics. This novel method allows the manufacture of dosage forms on demand, with modifications in the geometry and size resulting in changes to the release and dosage behaviour of the product. 3DP will allow wider adoption of personalised medicine due to the diversity and simplicity to change the design and dosage of the products, allowing the devices to be designed specific to the individual with the ability to alternate the drugs added to the product. Personalisation also has the potential to decrease the common side effects associated with generic dosage forms. This Special Issue Editorial outlines the current innovative research surrounding the topic of 3DP, focusing on bioprinting and various types of 3DP on applications for drug delivery as well advantages and future directions in this field of research.
