Biodefensive Based on Piper nigrum Essential Oil for Controlling of Anopheles aquasalis Larvae: Influence of Temperature (35 °C) and Preservatives. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12111711. [DOI: 10.3390/biom12111711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Considerable efforts have been spent on the development of biodefensives based on the encapsulation of essential oils for controlling of urban pests from their larval stage, especially as anopheline controlling agents. The larval source management of Anopheles aquasalis is important for malaria prevention. For this reason, this research proposes larvicidal biodefensives based on polymeric particles loaded with Piper nigrum essential oil, considering the influence of temperature (35 °C) and preservatives on the formulation stability. The biodefensive containing the preservative phenoxyethanol/methylisothiazolinone (PNE) resulted in 5 months of shelf-life storage with an Encapsulation Efficiency (EE%) of essential oil of 70%. The biodefensive PNE (containing 500 µg.mL−1 of encapsulated essential oil) presented a polydisperse particle size distribution, ranging from D10 = (127 ± 10) nm to D90 = (472 ± 78) nm and a particle mean size of (236 ± 34) nm. The AFM images revealed a spherical morphology with an external surface almost regular and smooth. The controlled release of the essential oil was evaluated up to 72 h according to the Korsmeyer-Peppas mathematical model, confirming the anomalous transport (n = 0.64 in pH = 3 and pH = 10, and n = 0.65 in pH = 7). The total larvae mortality on the in loco bioassays was almost reached (92%) after 24 h. However, according to the in vitro bioassays applying the in natura essential oil alone, the concentration of 454 μg.mL−1 resulted on the mortality of 70% of the larvae after 24 h. For this reason, the highest efficiency of the biodefensive PNE may be related to the encapsulation of essential oil, delivering the loaded particles more efficiently inside the larvae. From this perspective, the present study shows that a formulation based on P. nigrum essential oil may be taken into account in the integrated management of disease vector mosquitoes.

Pulsatile Controlled Release and Stability Evaluation of Polymeric Particles Containing Piper nigrum Essential Oil and Preservatives. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:5415.

Abstract
Considerable efforts have been spent on environmentally friendly particles for the encapsulation of essential oils. Polymeric particles were developed to encapsulate the essential oil from Piper nigrum based on gelatin and poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) carriers. Gas Chromatography ((Flame Ionization Detection (GC/FID) and Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM), Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy were used for the full colloidal system characterization. The essential oil was mainly composed of β-caryophyllene (~35%). The stability of the encapsulated systems was evaluated by Encapsulation Efficiency (EE%), electrical conductivity, turbidity, pH, and organoleptic properties (color and odor) after adding different preservatives. The mixture of phenoxyethanol/isotialzoni-3-one (PNE system) resulted in enhanced stability of approximately 120 and 210 days under constant handling and shelf-life tests, respectively. The developed polymeric system presented a similar controlled release in acidic, neutral, or basic pH, and the release curves suggested a pulsatile release mechanism due to a complexation of essential oil in the PCL matrix. Our results showed that the developed system has potential as an alternative stable product and as a controlling agent, due to the pronounced bioactivity of the encapsulated essential oil.

Abstract
The most frequently used local anesthetics (LA) for local infiltration have an ionizable amine in the range of pH 7.6-8.9. Effective anesthesia of inflamed tissues is a great challenge, especially because the induced local acidosis decreases the fraction of the neutral (more potent) LA species in situ. To solve this limitation, the butyl-substituted benzocaine analogue butamben (BTB) - that has no ionizable amine group close to the physiological pH - could be useful if it was not for its low solubility. To overcome the solubility problem, an optimized formulation for BTB using nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) was developed by a factorial design and characterized using DLS, XRD, DSC and cryo-EM. The release kinetics and cytotoxicity of the new formulation were measured in vitro, while the in vivo tests assessed its effectiveness on healthy and inflamed tissues, in rats. The optimized NLCBTB formulation showed desirable physicochemical properties (size = 235.6 ± 3.9 nm, polydispersity = 0.182 ± 0.006 and zeta potential = -23.6 ± 0.5 mV), high (99.5%) encapsulation efficiency and stability during 360 days of storage at room temperature. NLCBTB prolonged the release of butamben and decreased its in vitro cytotoxicity without inducing any in vivo toxic alteration. In the inflammatory hyperalgesia model, the NLCBTB formulation showed potential for the management of inflammatory pain, displaying greater analgesic effectiveness (40%) and a prolonged effect.

Abstract
Despite the advancement of new anti-leishmanials, amphotericin B (AmB) prevails as one of the most potent agent in the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), a neglected tropical disease affecting mostly poverty ridden and underdeveloped regions of the globe. Nonetheless, many patients display intolerance to parenteral AmB, notably at higher dosages. Also, conventional AmB presents an apparently poor absorption. Therefore, to improve AmB bioavailability and overcome multiple barriers for oral delivery of AmB, we fabricated a promising vitamin B12-stearic acid (VBS) conjugate coated solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) encapsulated with AmB (VBS-AmB-SLNs) by a combination of double emulsion solvent evaporation and thermal sensitive hydrogel techniques. VBS-AmB-SLNs showed a particle size of 306.66 ± 3.35 nm with polydispersity index of 0.335 ± 0.08 while the encapsulation efficiency and drug loading was observed to be 97.99 ± 1.6% and 38.5 ± 5.6% respectively. In vitro drug release showed a biphasic release pattern and chemical stability of AmB was ensured against simulated gastrointestinal fluids. Cellular uptake studies confirmed complete internalization of the formulation. Anti-leishmanial evaluation against intramacrophage amastigotes showed an enhanced efficacy of 94% which was significantly (P < 0.01) higher than conventional AmB without showing any toxic effects on J774A.1 cells. VBS-AmB-SLNs could serve as a potential therapeutic strategy against VL.

Abstract
Although lipid nanoparticles represent potent drug carriers, for many formulations toxicity data are rare. Thus, in this study, the effect of different lipid nanoparticles on the cell viability of L929 mouse fibroblasts was systematically investigated using the MTT assay. The formulations were composed of trimyristin, tristearin or cholesteryl myristate stabilized with poloxamer 188, polysorbate 80, polyvinyl alcohol or a blend of soybean phospholipid and sodium glycocholate. Depending on lipid and storage conditions, the nanoparticles were prepared in different physical states or crystal modifications leading to different particle shapes. The cell viability was influenced considerably by the physical state of the particle matrix with crystalline nanoparticles causing a stronger decrease in viability than the corresponding liquid or liquid crystalline particles. Effects on the cell viability were also related to the type of matrix lipid, stabilizer and the particle shape. However, the effects of differently shaped particles of different polymorphic modifications of crystalline tristearin were comparable. The low viability caused by poloxamer 188-stabilized particles could be correlated with a strong cell uptake which was investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy.

Abstract
Abstract
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) based on Dynasan 114 (D114) were tested using RAW 264.7 cells. The influence of different surfactants on the cytotoxicity of this type of SLN was examined, expressed as 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) viability and the production of cytokines such as interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-12 and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Results were compared with previously obtained data when peritoneal mouse macrophages were used. SLN produced with stabilizers/surfactants such as poloxamer 188, sodium cholate, Lipoid S75, Tween 80, Poloxamine 908 and sodium dodecylsulfate were shown to be nontoxic towards RAW 264.7 cells. Cytokine production was reduced and stimulation, expressed in elevated cytokine levels, could not be found. Using cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) as stabilizing surfactant, SLN became cytotoxic in a concentration-dependent manner. Not only were the viabilities reduced but also cytokine production. Cytotoxic effects of CPC stabilized SLN could be antagonized using cytochalasin B to block phagocytosis. D114-SLN produced with pharmaceutically accepted surfactants for intravenous injection (poloxamer 188, Lipoid S75, sodium cholate, Tween 80) were very well tolerated by the cells. Even sodium dodecylsulfate-stabilized D114-SLN did not exert toxic effects. Comparison of the RAW 264.7 data with previously obtained data from toxicity studies of D114-SLN towards peritoneal mouse macrophages showed similar results. This offers the possibility of using the RAW 264.7 cell line for cytotoxicity studies of colloidal drug carrier systems, rather than using laboratory animals as source of macrophages for these kinds of studies.

Abstract
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) are distinguishable from nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) by the composition of the solid particle matrix. Both are an alternative carrier system to liposomes and emulsions. This review paper focuses on lipid nanoparticles for dermal application. Production of lipid nanoparticles and final products containing lipid nanoparticles is feasible by well-established production methods. SLN and NLC exhibit many features for dermal application of cosmetics and pharmaceutics, i.e. controlled release of actives, drug targeting, occlusion and associated with it penetration enhancement and increase of skin hydration. Due to the production of lipid nanoparticles from physiological and/or biodegradable lipids, this carrier system exhibits an excellent tolerability. The lipid nanoparticles are a "nanosafe" carrier. Furthermore, an overview of the cosmetic products currently on the market is given and the improvement of the benefit/risk ratio of the topical therapy is shown.

Abstract
The use of non-viral nanoparticulate systems for the delivery of therapeutic agents is receiving considerable attention for medical and pharmaceutical applications. This increasing interest results from the fact that these systems can be designed to meet specific physicochemical requirements, and they display low toxic and immunogenic effects. Among potential cellular targets by drug-loaded nanoparticles, macrophages are considered because they play a central role in inflammation and they act as reservoirs for microorganisms that are involved with deadly infectious diseases. The most common and potent drugs used in macrophage-mediated diseases treatment often induce unwanted side effects, when applied as a free form, due to the necessity of high doses to induce a satisfactory effect. This could result in their systemic spreading, a lack of bioavailability at the desired sites, and a short half-life. Therefore, the use of drug-loaded nanoparticles represents a good alternative to avoid, or at least decrease, side effects and increase efficacy. In this manuscript, we present an overview of the usefulness of nanoparticles for macrophage-mediated therapies in particular. We discuss, though not exhaustively, the potential of therapeutic agent-loaded nanoparticles for some macrophage-mediated diseases. We also underline the most important parameters that affect the interaction mechanisms of the macrophages and the physicochemical aspects of the particulate systems that may influence their performance in macrophage-targeted therapies.

Abstract
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), an alternative colloidal drug delivery system to polymer nanoparticles, emulsions and liposomes, are generally produced by high pressure melt-emulsification. However, the harsh production process is not applicable for formulations containing shear and temperature sensitive compounds. For that reason, subsequent adsorptive SLN loading might be a promising alternative. The aim of the present study was the development and characterisation of surface-modified SLN for adsorptive protein loading by variation of both the lipid matrix and the emulsifier concentration in the continuous phase. Variations in SLN composition resulted in particle sizes between 674 and 61 nm corresponding to specific surfaces of 4.5 m(2)/g and 48.9 m(2)/g and zeta potentials between -23.4 mV and -0.9 mV. In dependence of SLN surface properties, albumin payload ranged from 2.5 to 15%. Thermoanalysis, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy revealed anisometrical and crystalline particles. In vitro cytotoxicity was low in terms of both haemolysis, which was between 1 and 2%, and neutral red test (NRT) showing a half lethal dose between 1.1 and 4.6%.

Abstract
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are interesting nanoparticulate delivery systems produced from solid lipids. Both carrier types are submicron size particles but they can be distinguished by their inner structure. In the present paper, indomethacin (IND)-loaded SLN and NLC were prepared and the organization and distribution of the different ingredients originating each type of nanoparticle system were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. Furthermore, mean particle size and percentage of drug encapsulation were also determined. From the results obtained, NLC lipid organization guaranteed an increased indomethacin encapsulation in comparison with SLN. DSC static and dynamic measurements performed on SLN and NLC showed that oil nanocompartments incorporated into NLC solid matrix drastically influenced drug distribution inside the nanoparticle system. Controlled release from NLC system could be explained considering both drug partition between oil nanocompartments and solid lipid and a successive partition between solid lipid and water.

Abstract
Biodegradable microparticles represent a promising carrier system for the efficient delivery of therapeutic macromolecules to phagocytic professional antigen-presenting cells (APC). Solid lipid microparticles (SLM) consisting of a tripalmitin matrix were prepared using a novel micromixer-based solvent extraction process. A positive surface charge was introduced by the incorporation of cationic lipids into the formulation. All obtained SLM were efficiently phagocytosed by primary macrophages in vitro. Complete intracellular degradation was observed already within 24 h, making SLM a suitable carrier for the immediate delivery of therapeutics to APC. Cationic SLM adsorbed plasmid DNA and bovine serum albumin (BSA) used as a model protein, and triggered the cellular internalization of the macromolecules by phagocytic macrophages. Surprisingly, the cationic SLM also triggered the internalization of these molecules by non-phagocytic 293 cells. This was probably due to the detachment of nanocomplexes formed of cationic lipid and DNA or BSA, respectively, from the surface of DNA- or BSA-loaded SLM and their subsequent uptake into the cells. Transfection efficiency of the DNA-loaded SLM was most pronounced in non-phagocytic cells and was not detected in the macrophage cell line or in primary macrophages. Our further studies revealed that cytotoxic effects of cationic SLM were more pronounced in the phagocytic cells, which could be explained by the very rapid uptake and degradation of the cationic SLM in these cells. In conclusion, SLM may provide a new, efficient means for the immediate intracellular delivery of therapeutic macromolecules into APC. Caution is warranted for cationic carriers, which may accentuate cytotoxic effects in the phagocytic cells.

Abstract
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) interact with mononuclear cells following intravenous injection. Little is known about the interaction of SLN with these cells, including cytotoxic effects and a possible up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, we investigated the influence of lipid matrix, concentration, and size of SLN on murine peritoneal macrophages (mphi). mphi were incubated with SLN consisting of different lipid matrices and coated with the same surfactant. Cytotoxicity as assessed by MTT test was found to be concentration-dependent and was dramatically influenced by the lipid matrix. Marked cytotoxic effects were observed when cells were incubated with SLN consisting of stearic acid (STE) or dimethyl-dioctadecylammonium bromide (DDA) at concentrations of 0.01%, whereas SLN consisting of triglycerides, cetylpalmitate or paraffin did not exert major cytotoxic effects at the same concentrations. Cytotoxic effects were most likely caused by products of enzymatic degradation including free stearic acid. Analysis of cytokine production by mphi following incubation with SLN revealed concentration-dependent decreases in IL-6 production. These decreases seemed to be associated with cytotoxic effects. IL-12 and TNF-alpha production was neither detected in supernatants of mphi treated with SLN at any concentration nor in those of untreated cells. The size of SLN did neither affect cytotoxicity of SLN nor resulted in induction or digression of cytokine production by mphi. In conclusion, results of the present study revealed that the nature of the lipid matrix and the concentration of SLN dramatically impact cytotoxicity of SLN on mononuclear cells. Lipid matrices of SLN should therefore be carefully chosen and tested for later intravenous use.

Abstract
After intravenous (i.v.) injection, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) interact with mononuclear cells. Murine peritoneal macrophages were incubated with SLN formulations consisting of Dynasan 114 coated with different surfactants. The present study was performed to examine the impact of surfactants, which are important surface defining components of SLN, on viability and cytokine production by macrophages. Cytotoxicity, as assessed by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test, was strongly influenced by the surfactant used being marked with cetylpyridinium chloride- (CPC-) coated SLN at a concentration of 0.001% and further increased at SLN concentrations of 0.01 and 0.1%. All other SLN formulations -- containing Poloxamine 908 (P908), Poloxamer 407 (P407), Poloxamer 188 (P188), Solutol HS15 (HS15), Tween 80 (T80), Lipoid S75 (S75), sodium cholate (SC), or sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) -- when used at the same concentrations reduced cell viability only slightly. None of the SLN formulations tested induced cytokine production but a concentration-dependent decrease of IL-6 production was observed, which appeared to be associated with cytotoxic effects. IL-12 and TNF-alpha were detected neither in supernatants of macrophages treated with SLN at any concentration nor in those of untreated cells. In contrast to the type of surfactant, the size of SLN was found neither to affect cytotoxicity of SLN nor to result in induction or digression of cytokine production by macrophages. In conclusion, testing the effects of surfactants on SLN on activity of macrophages is a prerequisite prior to in vivo use of SLN.
