NANOTECHNOLOGY 2022; 34:095601. [PMID: 36541488 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/aca616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Well-dispersed inorganic nanoparticles in organic polymers are critical in the preparation of high-performance nanocomposites. This study prepared a series of waterborne polyurethane (WPU)/calcium carbonate nanocomposites using the solution blending method. Next, FT-IR, TG-DTG and XRD tests were carried out to confirm that the biopolymer sodium alginate (SA) was successfully encapsulated on the surface of the calcium carbonate nanoparticles, and that SA achieved satisfactory surface modification of the calcium carbonate nanoparticles. The Zeta and ultraviolet (UV) absorbance test results reveal that SA-modified nano calcium carbonate (MCC) had good dispersion stability in water. The effects of the MCC dosage on the composite mechanical properties, thermal stability, and cross-sectional morphology observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the water resistance of the nanocomposite were investigated. The results reveal that the incorporation of 3wt% of MCC in WPU had stable distribution, which led to a 54% increase in the tensile strength of the nanocomposite, while maintaining excellent elongation at break (2187%) and increasing the maximum decomposition temperature to 419.6 °C. Importantly, the improved water resistance facilitates the application of this environmentally benign composite material in humid environments.

Abstract
The recent successful application of lipid-based nanoparticles as delivery vehicles in COVID-19 vaccines demonstrated the superior potential of nanoparticle-based technology for targeted drug delivery in biomedicine. Among novel, rapidly advancing delivery platforms, the inorganic nano/microparticles gradually reach new heights and attract well-deserved attention among scientists and clinicians. Calcium carbonate in its vaterite form is used as a biocompatible carrier for a progressively increasing number of biomedical applications. Its growing popularity is conferred by beneficial porosity of particles, high mechanical stability, biodegradability under certain physiological conditions, ability to provide a continuous steady release of bioactives, preferential safety profile, and low cost, which make calcium carbonate a suitable entity of highly efficacious formulations for controlled drug delivery and release. The focal point of the current review is the success of the recent vaterite applications in the delivery of various diagnostics and therapeutic drugs. The manuscript highlights the nuances of drug loading in vaterite particles, connecting it with particle morphology, size, and charge of the loaded molecules, payload concentration, mono- or multiple drug loading. The manuscript also depicts recent successful methods of increasing the loading capacity developed for vaterite carriers. In addition, the review describes the various administration routes for vaterite particles with bioactive payloads, which were reported in recent years. Special attention is given to the multi-drug-loaded vaterite particles ("molecular cocktails") and reports on their successful delivery in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayered capsules (PEMUCs) obtained using the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) method have become powerful tools for different biomedical applications, which include drug delivery, theranosis or biosensing. However, the exploitation of PEMUCs in the biomedical field requires a deep understanding of the most fundamental bases underlying their assembly processes, and the control of their properties to fabricate novel materials with optimized ability for specific targeting and therapeutic capacity. This review presents an updated perspective on the multiple avenues opened for the application of PEMUCs to the biomedical field, aiming to highlight some of the most important advantages offered by the LbL method for the fabrication of platforms for their use in the detection and treatment of different diseases.

Abstract
One of the undeniable trends in modern bioengineering and nanotechnology is the use of various biomolecules, primarily of a polymeric nature, for the design and formulation of novel functional materials for controlled and targeted drug delivery, bioimaging and theranostics, tissue engineering, and other bioapplications. Biocompatibility, biodegradability, the possibility of replicating natural cellular microenvironments, and the minimal toxicity typical of biogenic polymers are features that have secured a growing interest in them as the building blocks for biomaterials of the fourth generation. Many recent studies showed the promise of the hard-templating approach for the fabrication of nano- and microparticles utilizing biopolymers. This review covers these studies, bringing together up-to-date knowledge on biopolymer-based multilayer capsules and beads, critically assessing the progress made in this field of research, and outlining the current challenges and perspectives of these architectures. According to the classification of the templates, the review sequentially considers biopolymer structures templated on non-porous particles, porous particles, and crystal drugs. Opportunities for the functionalization of biopolymer-based capsules to tailor them toward specific bioapplications is highlighted in a separate section.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate-based bone substitutes derived from natural coral exoskeleton (aragonite) are resorbed and remodeled faster than calcium phosphate-based substitutes. However, coral species with structures appropriate for use as bone substitutes are very limited. Therefore, it is important to evaluate potential of artificial calcium carbonate ceramics as a bone substitute. In this study, calcium carbonate granules with various porosities and pore sizes were prepared by sintering a highly pure (>99.98%) calcium carbonate powder (calcite), and their resorption properties and bone formation abilities were examined in vivo for the first time. The sintered calcium carbonate was resorbed faster than β-tricalcium phosphate, which has a similar structure. However, sintered calcium carbonate did not promote new bone formation during long-term implantation. Furthermore, both resorption and new bone formation were affected by the pore structure. The optimal structures of the artificially sintered calcium carbonate bone substitute were also discussed.

Abstract
A family of cationic cycloplatinated(II) complexes [Pt(dfppy)(P^P)]Cl, dfppy = 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine, incorporating bisphosphine ligands, P^P = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (1, dppm), 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (2, dppe) and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (3, dppbz), was prepared. The complexes were characterized by means of several analytical and spectroscopic methods. These complexes displayed acceptable stability in the biological environments which was confirmed by NMR, HR ESI-MS and UV-vis techniques. The antiproliferative properties of these complexes were evaluated by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at National Institutes of Health (NIH) against 60 different human tumor cell lines such as leukemia, melanoma, lung, colon, brain, ovary, breast, prostate and kidney. These complexes showed higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin against a wide variety of cancer cell lines such as K-562 (leukemia), HOP-92 (lung), HCT-116 (colon), OVCAR-8 (ovarian), PC-3 (prostate), MDA-MB-468 (breast), and melanoma cancer cell lines. Complex 3 as the most potent compound in this study furnished an excellent anti-proliferative activity compared to the cisplatin against Hela, SKOV3, and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. The main mode of the interaction of 1-3 with DNA was also determined using molecular docking studies.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems for cancer therapy offer a great promising opportunity as they specifically target cancer cells, also increasing the bioavailability of anticancer drugs characterized by low water solubility. Platicur, [Pt(cur) (NH3)2](NO3), is a cis-diamine-platinum(II) complex linked to curcumin. In this work, an ultrasonication method, coupled with layer by layer technology, allows us to obtain highly aqueous stable Platicur nanocolloids of about 100 nm. The visible light-activated Platicur nanocolloids showed an increased drug release and antitumor activity on HeLa cells, with respect to Platicur nanocolloids in darkness. This occurrence could give very interesting insight into selective activation of the nanodelivered Pt(II) complex and possible side-effect lowering. For the first time, the metabolic effects of Platicur nanocolloid photoactivation, in the HeLa cell line, have been investigated using an NMR-based metabolomics approach coupled with statistical multivariate data analysis. The reported results highlight specific metabolic differences between photoactivated and non-photoactivated Platicur NC-treated HeLa cancer cells.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) is a highly multidisciplinary field that focuses on novel regenerative treatments and seeks to tackle problems relating to tissue growth both in vitro and in vivo. These issues currently involve the replacement and regeneration of defective tissues, as well as drug testing and other related bioapplications. The key approach in TE is to employ artificial structures (scaffolds) to support tissue development; these constructs should be capable of hosting, protecting and releasing bioactives that guide cellular behaviour. A straightforward approach to integrating bioactives into the scaffolds is discussed utilising polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PEMCs). Herein, this review illustrates the recent progress in the use of CaCO3 vaterite-templated PEMCs for the fabrication of functional scaffolds for TE applications, including bone TE as one of the main targets of PEMCs. Approaches for PEMC integration into scaffolds is addressed, taking into account the formulation, advantages, and disadvantages of such PEMCs, together with future perspectives of such architectures.

Encapsulation of Low-Molecular-Weight Drugs into Polymer Multilayer Capsules Templated on Vaterite CaCO 3 Crystals. MICROMACHINES 2020; 11:mi11080717.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PEMCs) templated onto biocompatible and easily degradable vaterite CaCO3 crystals via the layer-by-layer (LbL) polymer deposition process have served as multifunctional and tailor-made vehicles for advanced drug delivery. Since the last two decades, the PEMCs were utilized for effective encapsulation and controlled release of bioactive macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, etc.). However, their capacity to host low-molecular-weight (LMW) drugs (<1–2 kDa) has been demonstrated rather recently due to a limited retention ability of multilayers to small molecules. The safe and controlled delivery of LMW drugs plays a vital role for the treatment of cancers and other diseases, and, due to their tunable and inherent properties, PEMCs have shown to be good candidates for smart drug delivery. Herein, we summarize recent progress on the encapsulation of LMW drugs into PEMCs templated onto vaterite CaCO3 crystals. The drug loading and release mechanisms, advantages and limitations of the PEMCs as LMW drug carriers, as well as bio-applications of drug-laden capsules are discussed based upon the recent literature findings.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate is an abundant mineral with several advantages to be a successful carrier to improve oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, such as praziquantel. Praziquantel is an antiparasitic drug classified in group II of the Biopharmaceutical Classification System hence characterized by high-permeability and low-solubility. Therefore, the dissolution rate is the limiting factor for the gastrointestinal absorption that contributes to the low bioavailability. Consequently, the therapeutic dose of the praziquantel must be high and big tablets and capsules are required, which are difficult to swallow, especially for pediatric and elderly patients. Mixtures of praziquantel and calcium carbonate using solid-solid physical mixtures and solid dispersions were prepared and characterized using several techniques (X-ray diffraction differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, laser diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopies). Solubility of these formulations evidenced that the solubility of praziquantel-calcium carbonate interaction product increased in physiological media. In vitro dissolution tests showed that the interaction product increased the dissolution rate of the drug in acidic medium. Theoretical models were studied to understand this experimental behavior. Cytotoxicity and cell cycle studies were performed, showing that praziquantel-calcium carbonate physical mixture and interaction product were biocompatible with the HTC116 cells, because it did not produce a decrease in cell viability or alterations in the cell cycle.

Abstract
Abstract
Calcium carbonate-based hollow or porous particles are one of the preferred carriers for fabrication of drug delivery systems. We have developed an eco-friendly method to produce calcium carbonate nanocrystals, which have shown biocompatibility and optimal capacity to across cell membrane in human cell lines providing new tools in cancer therapy. The success of drug delivery systems has paved the way for the development of systems for controlled release of agrochemicals. In this work, we exploited calcium carbonate nanocrystals as carriers for targeted release of phytodrugs investigating a potential control strategy for the pathogen Xylella fastidiosa. This pathogen is the causal agent of the Olive Quick Decline Syndrome that is an unprecedented emergency in Italy and potentially in the rest of Europe. We studied nanocrystals interactions with bacteria cells and the application in planta to verify olive plants uptake. Ultrastructural analysis by electron microscopy shown an alteration of bacteria wall following nanocrystals interaction. Nanocrystals were adsorbed from roots and they translocated in plants tissues. Calcium carbonate carriers were able to encapsulate efficiently two types of antimicrobial substances and the potential efficacy was tested in experiment under greenhouse conditions.

CaCO 3 as an Environmentally Friendly Renewable Material for Drug Delivery Systems: Uptake of HSA-CaCO 3 Nanocrystals Conjugates in Cancer Cell Lines. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2019; 12:E1481.

Abstract
Chemical and biochemical functionalization of nanoparticles (NPs) can lead to an active cellular uptake enhancing their efficacy thanks to the targeted localization in tumors. In the present study calcium carbonate nano-crystals (CCNs), stabilized by an alcohol dehydration method, were successfully modified by grafting human serum albumin (HSA) on the surface to obtain a pure protein corona. Two types of CCNs were used: naked CaCO3 and the (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) modified CaCO3-NH2. The HSA conjugation with naked CCN and amino-functionalized CCN (CCN-NH2) was established through the investigation of modification in size, zeta potential, and morphology by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The amount of HSA coating on the CCNs surface was assessed by spectrophotometry. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) confirmed the grafting of APTES to the surface and successive adsorption of HSA. Furthermore, to evaluate the effect of protein complexation of CCNs on cellular behavior, bioavailability, and biological responses, three human model cancer cell lines, breast cancer (MCF7), cervical cancer (HeLa), and colon carcinoma (Caco-2) were selected to characterize the internalization kinetics, localization, and bio-interaction of the protein-enclosed CCNs. To monitor internalization of the various conjugates, chemical modification with fluorescein-isothiocyanate (FITC) was performed, and their stability over time was measured. Confocal microscopy was used to probe the uptake and confirm localization in the perinuclear region of the cancer cells. Flow cytometry assays confirmed that the bio-functionalization influence cellular uptake and the CCNs behavior depends on both cell line and surface features.

Abstract
Owing to their nano-sized porous structure, CaCO₃ nanocrystals (CaCO₃NCs) hold the promise to be utilized as desired materials for encapsulating molecules which demonstrate wide promise in drug delivery. We evaluate the possibility to encapsulate and release NVP-BEZ235, a novel and potent dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor that is currently in phase I/II clinical trials for advanced solid tumors, from the CaCO₃NCs. Its chemical nature shows some intrinsic limitations which induce to administer high doses leading to toxicity; to overcome these problems, here we proposed a strategy to enhance its intracellular penetration and its biological activity. Pristine CaCO₃ NCs biocompatibility, cell interactions and internalization in in vitro experiments on T-cell lymphoma line, were studied. Confocal microscopy was used to monitor NCs-cell interactions and cellular uptake. We have further investigated the interaction nature and release mechanism of drug loaded/released within/from the NCs using an alternative approach based on liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Our approach provides a good loading efficiency, therefore this drug delivery system was validated for biological activity in T-cell lymphoma: the anti-proliferative test and western blot results are very interesting because the proposed nano-formulation has an efficiency higher than free drug at the same nominal concentration.

Controlling nucleation and growth of nano-CaCO 3 via CO 2 sequestration by a calcium alkoxide solution to produce nanocomposites for drug delivery applications. Acta Biomater 2017; 57:426-434.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate is an extremely attractive material in a plethora of biomedical applications. Intensive efforts have recently been made to achieve the control over its nucleation and subsequent aggregation, growth and crystallization; focusing on bringing insight into the role of precursors, solvents and templates. Having analyzed the recently acquired knowledge, we addressed this challenge using CO2 sequestration synthesis, using an unusual reactant, a solution of calcium ethoxide, Ca(OC2H5)2, as precursor. By tailoring the reaction conditions, it was possible to produce extremely small and rather size-uniform single-phase calcite CaCO3 nanoparticles, forming sols and subsequently gels in the applied medium. According to DLS and nanoparticle tracking analysis the particles are only to a minor extent aggregated in the mother liquor and can form transparent gels on concentration in less polar media, but produce large aggregates 400-800nm in size when dried and subsequently transferred to aqueous media. Complete drying of solutions renders xerogel type materials with only moderate active surface area, as identified by nitrogen adsorption, due to aggregation with development of densified surface layers. Such behaviour is typical for the sol-gel synthesis of particles possessing enhanced surface reactivity. The aggregation on drying was used to produce hybrid nanocomposites, with the hydrophobic model component, β-carotene, introduced in solution in a non-polar co-solvent and model medicine - ibuprofen. The obtained nanocomposite particles, characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, AFM and FTIR studies, are hierarchically structured spheroidal aggregates about 200nm in size with uniform distribution of the organic components present in the amorphous state. The composite particles are stable in neutral aqueous environments but are readily dissolved in acidic medium or even in PBS at pH = 7.40, releasing the hydrophobic organic component in the form of a relatively stable colloid solution. Efficient release of ibuprofen as model drug was achieved in both acidic and PBS medium and could be slowed down by the addition of β-carotene as hydrophobic component. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The proposed sol-gel synthesis of CaCO3 proved to create unprecedented size of CaCO3 nanoparticles with striking size uniformity. The obtained results clearly demonstrate their ability to incorporate hydrophobic components in a nanocomposite matrix converting them into amorphous nano sized particles, building stable colloids via release in acidic medium. Transfer of a sol produced in organic medium into water in the presence of albumen surfactant results in relatively uniform micro particles about 1μm size. The obtained materials show characteristics attractive for use in drug delivery and potentially also a variety of other industrial applications.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, a state of irreversible growth arrest and altered cell function, causes aging-related diseases. Hence, treatment modalities that could target aging cells would provide a robust therapeutic avenue. Herein, for the first time, we utilized CD9 receptors (overexpressed in senescent cells) for nanoparticle targeting in addition to the inherent β-galactosidase activity. In our study, CD9 monoclonal antibody-conjugated lactose-wrapped calcium carbonate nanoparticles loaded with rapamycin (CD9-Lac/CaCO3/Rapa) were prepared for targeted rapamycin delivery to senescent cells. The nanoparticles exhibited an appropriate particle size (~130 nm) with high drug-loading capacity (~20%). In vitro drug release was enhanced in the presence of β-galactosidase suggesting potential cargo drug delivery to the senescent cells. Furthermore, CD9-Lac/CaCO3/Rapa exhibited high uptake and anti-senescence effects (reduced β-galactosidase and p53/p21/CD9/cyclin D1 expression, reduced population doubling time, enhanced cell proliferation and migration, and prevention of cell cycle arrest) in old human dermal fibroblasts. Importantly, CD9-Lac/CaCO3/Rapa significantly improved the proliferation capability of old cells as suggested by BrdU staining along with significant reductions in senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (IL-6 and IL-1β) (P < 0.05). Altogether, our findings suggest the potential applicability of CD9-Lac/CaCO3/Rapa in targeted treatment of senescence.
