Abstract
In order to improve bioavailability, stability, control release, and target delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), as well as to mask their bitter taste, to increase their efficacy, and to minimize their side effects, a variety of microencapsulation (including nanoencapsulation, particle size <100 nm) technologies have been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. Commonly used microencapsulation technologies are emulsion, coacervation, extrusion, spray drying, freeze-drying, molecular inclusion, microbubbles and microsponge, fluidized bed coating, supercritical fluid encapsulation, electro spinning/spray, and polymerization. In this review, APIs are categorized by their molecular complexity: small APIs (compounds with low molecular weight, like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Cannabidiol), medium APIs (compounds with medium molecular weight like insulin, peptides, and nucleic acids), and living microorganisms (such as probiotics, bacteria, and bacteriophages). This article provides an overview of these microencapsulation technologies including their processes, matrix, and their recent applications in microencapsulation of APIs. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of these common microencapsulation technologies in terms of improving the efficacy of APIs for pharmaceutical treatments are comprehensively analyzed. The objective is to summarize the most recent progresses on microencapsulation of APIs for enhancing their bioavailability, control release, target delivery, masking their bitter taste and stability, and thus increasing their efficacy and minimizing their side effects. At the end, future perspectives on microencapsulation for pharmaceutical applications are highlighted.

Abstract
In cases of deep skin defects, spontaneous tissue regeneration and excessive collagen deposition lead to hyperplastic scars. Conventional remedial action after scar formation is limited with a high recurrence rate. In this study, we designed a new artificial skin bilayer using silk fibroin nanofibers films (SNF) as the epidermis, and silk fibroin (SF) / hyaluronic acid (HA) scaffold as the dermal layer. The regenerated SF film was used as a binder to form a functional SNF-SF-HA bilayer scaffold. The bilayer scaffold showed high porosity, hydrophilicity, and strength, and retained its shape over 30 days in PBS. In vitro, human umbilical vein endothelial cells were seeded into the bilayer scaffold and showed superior cell viability. In vivo analyses using the rabbit ear hypertrophic scar (HS) model indicated that the bilayer scaffold not only supported the reconstruction of new tissue, but also inhibited scar formation. The scaffold possibly achieved scar inhabitation by reducing wound contraction, weakening inflammatory reactions, and regulating collagen deposition and type conversion, which was partly observed through the downregulation of type I collagen, transforming growth factor-β, and α-smooth muscle actin. This study describes a new strategy to expand the application of silk-based biomaterials for the treatment of hyperplastic skin scars.

Abstract
Wound infection and persistent inflammation are considered to be the main reasons for hindering wound healing. In this study, we developed an innovative hydrogel dressing, EPL-DA/ODEX/AMs, as a platform to inhibit bacteria and inflammation and promote wound healing. Polylysine (EPL) has cationic properties and can effectively disrupt bacterial cell membranes for antibacterial purposes. Polylysine-grafted levodopa (EPL-DA) with abundant amino and catechol groups can be cross-linked with oxidized dextran through Schiff base reaction to form antibacterial hydrogels with good adhesion and mechanical properties. In addition, asiaticoside, which can effectively inhibit inflammation and promote collagen regeneration, is made into PLGA microspheres to effectively deliver asiaticoside to the wound. The innovative antibacterial hydrogel of EPL-DA/ODEX/AMs may become a competitive wound dressing for infected wound.

Bioact Mater 2023; 20:93-110. [PMID: 35633874 PMCID: PMC9131258 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.05.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 48.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The revolutionary role of tissue adhesives in wound closure, tissue sealing, and bleeding control necessitates the development of multifunctional materials capable of effective and scarless healing. In contrast to the use of traditionally utilized toxic oxidative crosslinking initiators (exemplified by sodium periodate and silver nitrate), herein, the natural polyphenolic compound tannic acid (TA) was used to achieve near instantaneous (<25s), hydrogen bond mediated gelation of citrate-based mussel-inspired bioadhesives combining anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities (3A-TCMBAs). The resulting materials were self-healing and possessed low swelling ratios (<60%) as well as considerable mechanical strength (up to ∼1.0 MPa), elasticity (elongation ∼2700%), and adhesion (up to 40 kPa). The 3A-TCMBAs showed strong in vitro and in vivo anti-oxidant ability, favorable cytocompatibility and cell migration, as well as photothermal antimicrobial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (>90% bacterial death upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation). In vivo evaluation in both an infected full-thickness skin wound model and a rat skin incision model demonstrated that 3A-TCMBAs + NIR treatment could promote wound closure and collagen deposition and improve the collagen I/III ratio on wound sites while simultaneously inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Further, phased angiogenesis was observed via promotion in the early wound closure phases followed by inhibition and triggering of degradation & remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the late stage (supported by phased CD31 (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1) PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) expression as well as elevated matrix metalloprotein-9 (MMP-9) expression on day 21), resulting in scarless wound healing. The significant convergence of material and bioactive properties elucidated above warrant further exploration of 3A-TCMBAs as a significant, new class of bioadhesive. Citrate-based mussel-inspired bioadhesive prepolymers were crosslinked with tannic acid via hydrogen bonding (3A-TCMBAs). 3A-TCMBAs showed good tissue adhesiveness, self-healing and elastic properties. 3A-TCMBAs exhibited photothermal antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficiency. 3A-TCMBAs could promote scarless wound healing by enabling phased angiogenesis.

Int J Pharm 2023; 631:122508. [PMID: 36539166 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.122508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Asiaticoside (AST) is a naturally available phytoconstituent that enables effective wound healing mainly by promoting collagen biosynthesis. However, the physicochemical nature of AST such as high molecular weight (959.12 g/mol), poor water solubility and poor permeability limits its therapeutic effects. This study aims to develop Asiaticoside polymeric nanoparticles (AST PNP) embedded in a gelatin based biodegradable hydrogel (15 % w/v) for application in the wound cavity to enable sustained release of AST and enhance its therapeutic effects. The AST PNP were fabricated in the desired size range (168.4 nm; PDI (0.09)) and the morphology, rate of fluid uptake, rate of water loss, and water vapor transmission rate of AST PNP incorporated hydrogel were determined. AST PNP gel showed porous structural morphology and possessed ideal characteristics as a graft for wound healing. The drug release kinetics and cellular uptake of AST PNP were investigated wherein, AST PNP demonstrated sustained release profile upto 24 h in comparison to free AST (complete release within 6 h) and exhibited an enhanced intra-cellular uptake in fibroblasts within 3 h compared to the free drug. In-vitrocell culture studies also demonstrated significant proliferation and migration of fibroblasts in the presence of AST PNP. Additionally, AST PNP gel upon application to the wounds of diabetic rats depicted improved wound healing efficacy in terms of improved collagen biosynthesis, upregulated COL-1 protein level (∼1.85 fold vs free AST), and enhanced expression of α-SMA compared to control groups. Altogether, formulation of AST as polymeric nanoparticles in a gel based carrier offered significant improvement in the therapeutic properties of AST for the management of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
CONTEXT M2 phenotype macrophage polarization is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. Asiaticoside (ATS) has multiple pharmacological functions. OBJECTIVE This study investigates the effect of ATS on M2 phenotype macrophage polarization in osteosarcoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The differentiation of human THP-1 monocytes into M0 phenotype macrophages was induced by 100 nM phorbol myristate acetate for 24 h, and treated with 20 ng/mL IL-4 and 20 ng/mL IL-13 for 48 h to obtain M2 phenotype macrophages. The function of ATS on the growth and invasion was investigated by cell counting kit-8, transwell, and western blot under the co-culture of M2 phenotype macrophages and osteosarcoma cells for 24 h. The mechanism of ATS on osteosarcoma was assessed using molecular experiments. RESULTS ATS reduced the THP-1 cell viability with an IC50 of 128.67 μM. Also, ATS repressed the M2 phenotype macrophage polarization induced by IL-4/IL-13, and the effect was most notably at a 40 μM dose. ATS (40 μM) restrained the growth and invasion of osteosarcoma cells induced by M2 phenotype macrophages. In addition, ATS reduced the tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)/NF-κB activity in osteosarcoma cells and the TRAF6 knockdown reduced the growth and invasion of osteosarcoma cells induced by M2 phenotype macrophages. TRAF6 (2 μg/mL) attenuated the inhibitory effect of ATS on the growth and invasion of osteosarcoma cells caused by M2 phenotype macrophages. In vivo studies further confirmed ATS (2.5, 5, or 10 mg/kg) repressed osteosarcoma tumour growth. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS ATS reversed M2 phenotype macrophage polarization-evoked osteosarcoma cell malignant behaviour by reducing TRAF6/NF-κB activity, suggesting ATS might be a promising drug for the clinical treatment of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Centella asiatica, a medicinal herb used for wound healing, has a limited effect when delivered as an ointment. Centella asiatica's active component asiatic acid (AA) increases extracellular matrix development and reduces inflammation but cannot penetrate the stratum corneum to access deeper skin layers. To bypass the stratum corneum, we formulated two types of AA-loaded microneedle arrays. We fabricated, characterised and optimised a dissolving array made from chitosan and PVA and a hydrogel array made from chitosan and PVP. Both needles were strong and long enough to pierce the epidermis without breaking. Both were biocompatible with keratinocytes and fibroblasts (>75% viability at 100% concentration) and showed a sustained drug release over 48 hours. The hydrogel microneedle released more AA (52.2%) than the dissolving formulation (26.4%); thus, we evaluated them in an excisional rat model. The hydrogel microneedle arrays significantly increased the rate of wound closure compared to the control. This research has shown that the chitosan-PVA hydrogel microneedles could penetrate the epidermis, effectively release AA, and increase the wound closure rate. This AA-loaded delivery system shows promise as a natural treatment for wound healing and may be applied to other bioactive compounds with similar physiochemical properties in the future.

Abstract
The role of angiotensin receptor blocker in wound healing and cutaneous fibrosis has become a hotspot in recent years. We have developed a losartan cream that is comparable to triamcinolone ointment in inhibiting scarring. Considering the effects of chitosan and asiaticoside on wound healing and scarring, we added them to the losartan cream this time and improved the formula, expecting to get a better anti-scarring effect. The effects of creams were investigated on mouse scar model with triamcinolone ointment, onion extract gel, and commercial asiaticoside cream set as positive controls. A preliminary exploration of the mechanism involved in TGF-β/Smad pathway was performed in vivo and in vitro. With all results of anti-scarring, the compound losartan cream (containing chitosan, asiaticoside, and losartan) shows the best effect, followed by the chitosan asiaticoside cream. The treatment of the compound losartan cream inhibited expression of TGF-β1, collagen, and Smads, and decreased phosphorylation of Smad in vivo. These inhibitory effects were also confirmed in vitro. Our findings indicated that the compound losartan cream could inhibit scarring via TGF-β/Smad pathway. This cream might be an effective option for scar treatment.

Abstract
Application of modern delivery techniques to natural bioactive products improves their permeability, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy. Many natural products have desirable biological properties applicable to wound healing but are limited by their inability to cross the stratum corneum to access the wound. Over the past two decades, modern systems such as microneedles, lipid-based vesicles, hydrogels, composite dressings, and responsive formulations have been applied to natural products such as curcumin or aloe vera to improve their delivery and efficacy. This article reviews which natural products and techniques have been formulated together in the past two decades and the success of these applications for wound healing. Many cultures prefer natural-product-based traditional therapies which are often cheaper and more available than their synthetic counterparts. Improving natural products’ effect can provide novel wound-healing therapies for those who trust traditional compounds over synthetic drugs to reduce medical inequalities.

Abstract
Asiaticoside (ASI), an ursane-type triterpenoid saponin, isolated from the memory enhancing herb Centella asiatica, is known for its neuroprotective activities. Here the anti-excitotoxicity and neuro protective effects of ASI encapsulated alginate chitosan nanoparticles (ACNPs) were evaluated in pilocarpine (PC) induced seizure in mice model. ACNPs were prepared by ionic gelation-polyelectrolyte complex method and their physicochemical characterization was carried out by TEM, SEM, DLS, XRD and FT-IR. Subsequently their encapsulation efficiency (EE), in vitro drug release, cell viability, seizure score, DNA fragmentation and mRNA expression of regulatory stress markers were evaluated. Membrane permeability of ACNPs in brain, histopathology and biological TEM and SEM analyses were also carried out. TEM of ACNPs showed spherical morphology with a particle size of 200-400 nm. DLS of ACNPs displayed an average size of 486.2 nm with polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.567 and zeta potential of -14.1 mV. ACNPs achieved high EE (> 90%) and controlled release (10%). Biological evaluation studies revealed ACNPs as non-toxic to mouse neural stem cells (mNSCs). They displayed enhanced brain permeability and attenuated seizure. Our results confirmed ACNPs as effective in crossing the brain membrane barrier and mitigating seizure severity induced by PC.

Abstract
Scarless skin regeneration remains a challenge due to the complicated microenvironment involved in wound healing. Here, the hydrophobic drug, asiaticoside (AC), was loaded inside silk nanofiber hydrogels to achieve bioactive and injectable matrices for skin regeneration. AC was dispersed in aqueous silk nanofiber hydrogels with retention of biological functions that regulated inflammatory reactions and vascularization in vitro. After implantation in full-thickness wound defects, these AC-laden hydrogel matrices achieved scarless wound repair. Inflammatory reactions and angiogenesis were regulated during inflammation and remodeling, which was responsible for wound regeneration similar to normal skin. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated promising applications of these AC-laden silk hydrogels towards scarless tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogels have been widely used in drug delivery and tissue engineering, but their poor bioactivity has limited their further applications. Integral active oyster peptide microspheres (OPM) with an average particle diameter of 3.9 μm were prepared with high encapsulation efficiency (72.8%) and loading capacity (11.9%), exhibiting desirable sustained release effects. Using catechol functionalized chitosan (CS-C) as the polymeric matrix, OPM as the filler, and β-sodium glycerophosphate (β-GP) as a thermal sensitizer, the thermosensitive hydrogel CS-C/OPM/β-GP was prepared. Besides, the application of the hydrogel on wound healing was studied, and its biosafety was evaluated. The results of cell migration in vitro showed that the cell migration rate of CS-C/OPM/β-GP reached 97.47 ± 5.41% within 48 h, indicating that the hydrogel accelerated the migration of L929 cells. As demonstrated in the mouse skin wound experiment, CS-C/OPM/β-GP hydrogel not only inhibited the aggregation of diversified inflammatory cells and accelerated the generation of collagen fibers and new blood vessels of the wound, but also enhanced the synthesis of total protein (TP) in granulation tissue, and up-regulated the expression of Ki-67 and VEGF in the injury, thereby achieving fast wound healing. Safety evaluation results showed that CS-C/OPM/β-GP hydrogel was not cytotoxic to L929 cells, and the hemolysis ratio was less than 5% within 1 mg/mL. In conclusion, CS-C/OPM/β-GP hydrogel is expected as a promising medical dressing for wound healing.

Abstract
Strategies to direct the differentiation of endogenous bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vivo following recruitment to the injured site are critical to realizing the potential of stem cell-based therapies. But the differentiation efficiency of BMSCs remains limited without direction. Here we demonstrated a novel strategy to promote neuronal differentiation of BMSCs using cross-linked polyethylenimine (PEI) grafted graphene oxide (GO) as the enzyme responsive vector for delivering active genes to BMSCs. In vivo, a core-shell microfiber arrayed hydrogel with a chemokine (SDF-1α) and the cross-linked GO-PEI/pDNAs-bFGF microparticles incorporated into the shell and core, respectively, were constructed. The arrayed hydrogel was shown to recruit and stimulate the neural-like differentiation of BMSCs effectively by delivering the CXCL12 and GO-PEI/pDNAs-bFGF in a self-controlled manner. With this strategy, both in vitro and in vivo neuronal differentiation of BMSCs with function were accelerated significantly. The cross-linked GO-PEI mediated gene transfection together with a multi-functional microfiber arrayed hydrogel provide a translatable approach for endogenous stem cell-based regenerative therapy.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-associated mortality. Asiaticoside (AC) exhibits antitumor effects; however, to the best of our knowledge, the biological function of AC in CRC cells remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of AC on CRC cells. In the present study, CCK-8 and colony formation assays were performed to assess the effects of AV on human CRC cell lines (HCT116, SW480 and LoVo). Mitochondrial membrane potential was examined by JC-1 staining. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were monitored by flow cytometry, and the expression of genes was evaluated using RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. Furthermore, the biological effect of AC in vivo was detected using a xenograft mouse model. The findings revealed that 2 µM AC suppressed the proliferation of CRC cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, but had no adverse effects on normal human intestinal FHC cells at a range of concentrations. AC decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and increased the apoptosis of CRC cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, AC induced cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. AC attenuated IκBα phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner, thereby preventing P65 from entering the nucleus, and resulting in inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway. In addition, AC significantly reduced the expression of CDK4 and Cyclin D1 in a dose-dependent manner, significantly upregulated the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3, and decreased the Bcl-2/Bax mRNA ratio. Furthermore, treatment with the NF-κB signaling pathway inhibitor JSH-23 significantly increased the cytotoxicity of AC in CRC cells. Findings of the xenograft mice model experiments revealed that AC significantly inhibited colorectal tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner. Overall, AC suppressed activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway by downregulating IκBα phosphorylation. This resulted in inhibition of CRC cell viability and an increase of cell apoptosis, which may form the basis of AC use in the treatment of patients with CRC.

Abstract
AbstractHypertrophic scars (HTS) are raised, red, rigid, inflexible cell-like, and cosmetic problems precipitated due to multiple underlying dermal injuries such as burn, surgery, and trauma during which aberrant wound healing with more pathological deposition of the extracellular matrix than degradation leads to their spawning. Till date, well established and specific treatments for HTS have not been reported; hence, the need of recent developments is thrusted with novel drug delivery vision. This review will try to encompass all the agogs to HTS, definition, pathophysiology, mechanism of hypertrophic scar formation, the role of growth factors in hypertrophic scarring, and their difference with keloids. Further, it will illuminate the available medicaments and recent advances in novel topical drug delivery systems such as ethosomes, transethosomes, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and microsponges for treatment of HTS.

Abstract
Idiopathic Pulmonary fibrosis(PF)is a chronic progressive disease, which is a lack of effective treatment,and the pathogenesis of IPF is not fully elucidated. Asiaticoside(AS) is isolated from Centella asiatica and has the effect of promoting scar healing and reducing scar formation. However,its possible role in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis remains unclear. Adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) is reported a protective factor in pulmonary fibrosis, and the bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in fibrosis in multiple organs. But the impact of A2AR on the BMP7 pathway has not yet been reported. Therefore, we hypothesized AS may promote the expression of A2AR, and then influence the BMP7/Smad1/5 pathway to alleviate pulmonary fibrosis. A2AR-/- mice and wild-type (WT) mice were administered bleomycin (BLM) by intratracheal injection. AS (50 mg/kg/d) was given daily for 28 days. AS reduced collagen deposition in lung tissue, interstitial lung inflammation. Furthermore, AS promoted A2AR expression and BMP7 pathway. Collectively, AS may attenuate BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis by upregulating the BMP7 signaling pathway through A2AR.

Abstract
Liquid raft-forming formulations comprising solid dispersions of glycoside-rich Centella asiatica extract and Eudragit® EPO (GR-SD) were developed to achieve prolonged delivery of the glycosides, asiaticoside (AS) and madecassoside (MS) in the stomach and thus increase the effectiveness of gastric ulcer treatment. Solid dispersions of GR extract and Eudragit® EPO (GR-SD, weight ratio 1:0.5) resulted in the highest solubility of AS (41.7 mg/mL) and MS (29.3 mg/mL) and completed dissolution of both glycosides occurred in SGF within 10 min. The optimized raft-forming formulation was composed of alginate (2%), HPMC K-100 (0.5%), GR-SD (1.2%), and calcium carbonate (0.5%) as a calcium source and carbon dioxide producer. The formulation provided sufficient raft strength (> 7.0 g), rapid floating behavior in SGF (~30 s), and sustained release of AS (more than 80%) and MS (85%) over 8 h. GR-SD-based formulations administered once daily to rats for two days at a dose of 10 mg AS/kg reduced the severity of gastric ulcer induced by indomethacin with a greater curative efficacy than those of unformulated GR extract and a standard antiulcer agent: lansoprazole (p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that GR-SD-based raft-forming systems offer significant promise for improving the treatment of gastric ulcers induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this work is to formulate a wound dressing for the delivery of ascorbic acid and caffeine. Method: A wound dressing was developed from electrospun nanofiber containing ascorbic acid and caffeine. In vitro drug release was performed at 25°C and 32°C. Wound healing activity of the nanofiber mats was tested in vivo using rat model with skin excision. Antifungal activity of the dressing was tested on Candida albicans using the disc diffusion method. Results & conclusion: Zone of inhibition was 6.7 mm for caffeine dressing; however, inhibition zone increased to 16.7 mm for samples containing both caffeine and ascorbic acid. Animals treated with ascorbic acid showed collagen deposition and very few fibroblast cells. Blood vessels and fibroblasts were increased in caffeine-loaded dressings compared with the ascorbic acid group. The findings of the present work suggest the benefits of topical ascorbic acid and caffeine for its high wound healing effects.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process and some agents have been reported to accelerate it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the healing effect of Eucerin-based ointments of lemon, sesame and olive oils on infected full-thickness wounds in rats. Wounds were created on the dorsal surface of Male Albino Wistar rats (n = 12). Wounds were treated with an Eucerin-based ointment containing either of lemon, sesame or olive oils (33% w/w) twice a day for 14 days. Histopathology results showed that contraction of wounds treated with lemon and sesame oils was higher than in the olive oil and control groups on days 10 and 14. In the lemon- and sesame-oil treated groups, on day 14, 50% of rat lesions were completely healed. Total number of inflammatory cells in lemon oil treatment group was significantly smaller than that of others on day 14 (p < 0.001). Also, thickness of the epidermal layer and rejuvenation of the hair follicles and other skin appendages was normal in lemon and sesame oil treated groups. The lemon and sesame oil ointments accelerated the healing process of wounds in macroscopic, morphological and morphmetrical analyses. Therefore, lemon and sesame oil ointments could be considered as alternative dressings for infected full-thickness wounds because of improved wound healing characteristics.

Abstract
Skin is the first protection of human body. It is always challenged by a range of external factors, resulting in the wounds of skin. Hydrogel, as a dressing with multiple advantages, causes increasing interests or the applications in wound treatment. However, the function and importance of micro-environment of wound region are frequently neglected. In this study, we successfully developed a chemokine loaded biomimetic hydrogel as a functional reservoir to stimulate the rapid in situ recruitment of BMSCs for fast wound repair and regeneration. The biomimetic hydrogel was fabricated by using the Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) combined with chitosan (CS) as the hybrid materials. The fabricated hydrogel possesses many features such as the porous structure, high swelling rate and moisture retention property. More importantly, the incorporated chemokine could be released with a sustained manner from the hydrogel and recruited the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) significantly both in vitro & in vivo. Moreover, the hydrogel was demonstrated to be highly biocompatible to the skin tissue without any side effect or irritation observed. Topical delivery of chemokine by the biomimetic PVA/CS hybrid material based hydrogel is demonstrated as a promising carrier to accelerate wound repair and regeneration without inducing scar formation and any other negative complications. The PVA/CS/SDF-1 hydrogel was shown a novel therapeutic system for wound therapy.

Abstract
The pentacyclic triterpenoid compounds in Centella asiatica extract, mainly consisting of asiaticoside (AS), asiatic acid (AA), madecassoside (MS), and madecassic acid (MA), possess wound healing and anti-ulcer properties, but their low aqueous solubility and dissolution rate are disadvantageous for oral administration. In this study, pentacyclic triterpene-rich centella extract (PRE) was combined with Eudragit® EPO as a hydrophilic polymer using solvent evaporation to produce a solid dispersion (PRE-ESD). The optimum PRE/Eudragit ratio of 1:2 enhanced the solubility and dissolution of glycosides (AS > 3.5 folds, MS > 2 folds) and aglycones (AA > 65 folds and MA > 56 folds) in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid (pH 1.2). DSC, XRD, and FT-IR analysis showed that the four pentacyclic triterpenes in PRE existed in the amorphous state in the solid dispersion. Moreover, almost 100% of the compounds were released from the solid dispersion within 2 h. The effects of PRE-ESD on cell proliferation and wound healing in vitro were investigated in human gastric epithelial cell lines (AGS cells). Exposure to PRE-ESD (equivalent to PRE concentration of 10 μg/mL) promoted cell proliferation and enhanced 'wound closure' in the scratch assay of wound healing by 82% compared with non-treated groups. Unformulated MA and AA aglycones did not exhibit a wound healing effect. Moreover, PRE-ESD was found to accelerate wound closure compared with either AS or MS, indicating that the wound healing properties of PRE-ESD are conferred by the active compounds AS and MS that are presented in PRE.

Abstract
The enhancement of wound healing has been a goal of medical practitioners for thousands of years. The development of chronic, non-healing wounds is a persistent medical problem that drives patient morbidity and increases healthcare costs. A key aspect of many non-healing wounds is the reduced presence of vessel growth through the process of angiogenesis. This review surveys the creation of new treatments for healing cutaneous wounds through therapeutic angiogenesis. In particular, we discuss the challenges and advancement that have been made in delivering biologic, pharmaceutical and cell-based therapies as enhancers of wound vascularity and healing.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading causes of death due to the persistent hyperglycemia that leads to potential complications. Lack of patients' adherence to their prescribed medication regimens, due to the requirement of frequent dosing, leads to failure of 40-50% of patients to manage their disease. Thus, microsponges of the novel short half-life mitiglinide calcium (MTG) were formulated using Quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion method, employing Eudragit RS100, ethyl cellulose, and polyvinyl alcohol, then characterized in terms of production yield, entrapment efficiency, particle size, in vitro buoyancy, in vitro drug release, and in vivo pharmacokinetics in rabbits. Optimization was done using response surface methodology; the optimized formulation was investigated by FTIR, DSC, and SEM. Results revealed that the optimized MTG microsponge was successfully formulated with high production yield (61.61% ± 0.6), entrapment efficiency (77.7% ±1.37), and particle size of 192.76 μm and it remained buoyant over simulated gastric fluid for 24 h with high percentage of in vitro buoyancy (91.01% ± 2.5). Moreover, it sustained the in vitro drug release with cumulative % release of 83.74 ± 1.5 after 24 h. This microsponge was highly porous in nature with interconnected pores where MTG was entrapped with good compatibility as confirmed by SEM, DSC, and FTIR analysis; Pharmacokinetic studies showed improvement in Cmax and AUC0-∞ (1.92- and 20.68-fold, respectively) with marked prolongation in MRT and t1/2 (7.22- and 7.97-fold, respectively) than the marketed tablet. Thus, it is a promising approach to improve diabetic patients' compliance by eliminating the necessity of frequent dosing thus attaining better diabetes control.

Abstract
Nature has been a source of medicinal treatments for thousands of years, with the use of plants as prototypes for drug development and for the extraction of active compounds. Skin injuries occur regularly in everyday life, and the human skin has the ability to promote repair spontaneously under healthy conditions. However, some intrinsic and external factors may interfere with skins' natural ability, leading to nonhealing lesions and chronic wounds, which directly affect health and quality of life. Thus, attention should be given to this health problem, using an appropriated management when necessary. In this scenario, phytotherapy may be an option for cutaneous wound treatment, although further high-quality studies are needed to firmly establish the clinical efficacy of plants. This article reviews traditionally used natural actives for wound healing, highlighting their characteristics and mode of action.

Abstract
Microparticulate drug delivery systems have shown a great interest in the pharmaceutical area. They allow the increase of drug therapeutic efficacy and the reduction of side effects. In this context, microsponges represent a new model of porous polymer microspheres, which allow the entrapment of a wide range of active agents. During the development, it is necessary the characterization of the system and among of the most important tests are the release and permeation profile analysis. They can demonstrate the behavior of drug in a specific site with a particular application condition and are related to therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, this review provides an overview of drug delivery profile from microsponges. Methods for determination of in vitro release and ex vivo permeation studies are detailed. Examples of drug delivery from microsponges administered in different sites are also discussed with aim to provide an understanding of the use of this strategy to modify the drug delivery.

Abstract
Bone-related infection rates are 4–64% in long open bone fractures and nearly 1% in joint-related surgeries. Treating bone infections and infection-related bone loss is very important. The present study prepared strontium ranelate (SR)-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres (PM) with assembled silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANPs) (SR-PM-Ag-HA) through a novel solid-in-oil nanosuspension (S/O/N) method to achieve osteoinductivity and antibacterial properties. We evaluated the microstructure, drug release, biocompatibility, osteoinductivity, and antibacterial activity in vitro. The microspheres showed a stable shape and size. The cumulative drug release reached a maximum of ∼90% after 22 days. All groups loaded with SR enhanced MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation to a greater degree than pure PM. The osteoinductivity behavior was investigated by ALP staining and real-time PCR of osteogenic differentiation marker genes. The antibacterial activity was evaluated using antibacterial ability and biofilm formation assays. SR-PM-Ag-HA greatly enhanced osteogenic differentiation and showed excellent antibacterial properties. These results indicated that SR-PM-Ag-HA could be biocompatible and suitable for drug delivery, osteoinduction, and antibiosis, and therefore, have potential applications in the treatment of bone-related infections and promotion of bone formation at infected sites.

Abstract
Today, many of the newly developed pharmaceuticals and medical devices take advantage of nanotechnology and with a rising incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, the number of patients afflicted globally with non-healing wounds is growing. This has created a requirement for improved therapies and wound care. However, converting the strategies applied in early research into new products is still challenging. Many of them fail to comply with the market requirements. This review discusses the legal and scientific challenges in the design of nanomedicines for wound healing. Are they lost in translation or is there a new generation of therapeutics in the pipeline?
