[PMID: 37209790 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a technique for evaluating the thermodynamic profiles of connection between two molecules, allowing the experimental design of nanoparticles systems with drugs and/or biological molecules. Taking into account the relevance of ITC, we conducted, therefore, an integrative revision of the literature, from 2000 to 2023, on the main purposes of using this technique in pharmaceutical nanotechnology. The search were carried out in the Pubmed, Sciencedirect, Web of Science, and Scifinder databases using the descriptors "Nanoparticles", "Isothermal Titration Calorimetry", and "ITC". We have observed that the ITC technique has been increasingly used in pharmaceutical nanotechnology, seeking to understand the interaction mechanisms in the formation of nanoparticles. Additionally, to understand the behavior of nanoparticles with biological materials (proteins, DNA, cell membranes, among others), thereby helping to understand the behavior of nanocarriers in vivo studies. As a contribution, we intended to reveal the importance of ITC in the laboratory routine, which is itself a quick and easy technique to obtain relevant results that help to optimize the nanosystems formulation process.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:12357.

Abstract
The interaction between sertraline hydrochloride (SRT) and randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin (RMβCD) molecules have been investigated at 298.15 K under atmospheric pressure. The method used-Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) enabled to determine values of the thermodynamic functions like the enthalpy (ΔH), the entropy (ΔS) and the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) of binding for the examined system. Moreover, the stoichiometry coefficient of binding (n) and binding/association constant (K) value have been calculated from the experimental results. The obtained outcome was compared with the data from the literature for other non-ionic βCD derivatives interacting with SRT and the enthalpy-entropy compensation were observed and interpreted. Furthermore, the connection of RMβCD with SRT was characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) and complexes of βCD derivatives with SRT were characterized through the computational studies with the use of molecular docking (MD).

Anticancer Agents Med Chem 2021; 22:968-977. [PMID: 34170812 DOI: 10.2174/1871520621666210624112452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Revised: 04/25/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Target treatment using site-specific nanosystems is a hot topic for treating several diseases, especially cancer. OBJECTIVE The study was set out to develop site-specific liposomes using ConcanavalinA (ConA) to target β-lapachone(β-lap) to human breast cancer cells. METHODS Liposomes were prepared and characterized according to diameter size, zeta potential, ConA conjugation(%), and β-lap encapsulation efficiency (%). Isothermal Titration Calorimetry evaluated the binding energy between the biomolecules, which compose the liposomes. ConA avidity was assessed before and after conjugation. Cytotoxicity was evaluated, and fluorescence microscopy was performed to investigate the influence of ConA influenced on MCF-7 uptake. RESULTS Uncoated and ConA-coated liposomes presented size, and zeta potential values from 97.46 ± 2.01 to 152.23 ± 2.73nm, and -6.83 ± 0.28 to -17.23 ±0.64mV, respectively. Both ConA conjugation and β-lap encapsulation efficiency were approximately 100%. The favorable and spontaneous process confirmed the binding between ConA and the lipid. Hemagglutination assay confirmed ConA avidity once Lipo-ConA and Lipo-PEG-ConA were able to hemagglutinate the red blood cells at 128-1 and 256-1, respectively. Lipo-ConA was not cytotoxic, and the site-specific liposomes presented the highest toxicity. ConA-coated liposomes were more internalized by MCF7 than uncoated liposomes. CONCLUSION Therefore, the presence of ConA on the surface of liposomes influenced MCF7 uptake, suggesting that it could be used as a promising site-specific system to target β-lap to cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Albendazole (ABZ) is the drug of choice for the treatment of a variety of human and veterinary parasites. However, it has low aqueous solubility and low bioavailability. Cyclodextrins (CD) are pharmaceutical excipients with the ability to modulate the solubilization property of hydrophobic molecules. OBJECTIVE To analyze (Autodock Vina software and CycloMolder platform) the formation of inclusion complexes between ABZ, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and its derivatives, Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (M-β-CD) and Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), through in vitro and in silico studies. METHODS The most stable inclusion complexes were produced by the kneading method and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), determination of the ABZ content, and in vitro dissolution profile. RESULTS Molecular modeling revealed that inclusion complexes between HP-β-CD:ABZ (in the proportion 1:1 and 2:1) presented the lowest formation energy and the highest number of intermolecular interactions, showing that the use of more cyclodextrins does not provide any gain in the stability of the complex. Through the characterization tests, the complexes experimentally obtained by kneading method demonstrated a highly suggestive method, including ABZ in HP-β-CD in both molar proportions; The results of this study showed suppression of bands in the infrared spectrum, displacement of the drug's melting temperature in DSC, crystallinity halos instead of the characteristic peaks of ABZ crystals in the XRD and a release of more than 80% of ABZ in less than 5 minutes, beyond dissolution efficiency of up to 92%. CONCLUSION In silico studies provided a rational selection of the appropriate cyclodextrin, enabling the elaboration of more targeted complexes, decreasing time and costs to elaborate on new formulations that increase the oral biodisponibility of ABZ.

Abstract
The use of PLGA in the pharmaceutical industry has only increased as we move towards more and more advanced delivery carrier systems. The qualities of PLGA like biocompatibility, biodegradability and a tunable degradation and drug release has only helped in keeping up the release requirements desired for various delivery platforms. Fine-tuning the release and degradation rate is gaining more and more attention as researchers keep pushing the boundaries of novel delivery carriers. Various experiments are being performed to understand the degradation behavior drug of PLGA under various physiological and process-related conditions. The understanding of these parameters has helped formulate various ways one can fine-tune the properties that can lead to the release of active ingredients encapsulated within. Various techniques have been tried and tested including modifications like chemical modifications, physical blending and surface modifications and have found to be effective means of release modulation in delivery systems like parenteral, orals, topicals and tissue engineering scaffolds. In this review, all these experiments and implications thereon have been discussed in detail.

Abstract
Stereochemistry is vital for pharmaceutical development and can determine drug efficacy. Herein, 10 pairs of asymmetric triplex metallohelix enantiomers as a library were used to screen inhibitors of amyloid β (Aβ) aggregation via a fluorescent cell-based high-throughput method. Intriguingly, Λ enantiomers show a stronger inhibition effect than Δ enantiomers. In addition, the metallohelices with aromatic substituents are more effective than those without, revealing that these groups play a key role in the Aβ interaction. Fluorescence stopped-flow kinetic studies indicate that binding of the Λ enantiomer to Aβ is much faster than that of the Δ enantiomer. Furthermore, studies in enzyme digestion, isothermal titration calorimetry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and computational docking demonstrate that the enantiomers bind to the central hydrophobic α-helical region of Aβ13-23, although with different modes for the Λ and Δ enantiomers. Finally, an in vivo study showed that these metallohelices extend the life span of the Caenorhabditis elegans CL2006 strain by attenuating Aβ-induced toxicity. Our work will shed light on the design and screening of a metal complex as an amyloid inhibitor against Alzheimer's disease.
