Abstract
Curcumin is a key constituent of turmeric with a variety of biological activities. From a chemical point of view, curcumin contains different functional groups that can undergo multiple transformations such as Michael addition, cycloaddition, click reaction, polymerisation, etc. Among these, Michael-type reactions under benign conditions constitute a captivating domain of curcumin's reactivity. To the best of our knowledge, no review focusing on the Michael donor-acceptor reactivity of curcumins has been published to date. Herein, we have compiled the chemistry of curcumins with respect to their chemical synthesis, biosynthesis, and involvement in chemical transformations, especially in Michael additions with advances in mechanistic aspects and understanding.

Raj S, Unsworth LD. Targeting active sites of inflammation using inherent properties of tissue-resident mast cells. Acta Biomater 2023; 159:21-37.

Abstract
Mast cells play a pivotal role in initiating and directing host's immune response. They reside in tissues that primarily interface with the external environment. Activated mast cells respond to environmental cues throughout acute and chronic inflammation through releasing immune mediators via rapid degranulation, or long-term de novo expression. Mast cell activation results in the rapid release of a variety of unique enzymes and reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, the increased density of mast cell unique receptors like mas related G protein-coupled receptor X2 also characterizes the inflamed tissues. The presence of these molecules (either released mediators or surface receptors) are particular to the sites of active inflammation, and are a result of mast cell activation. Herein, the molecular design principles for capitalizing on these novel mast cell properties is discussed with the goal of manipulating localized inflammation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Mast cells are immune regulating cells that play a crucial role in both innate and adaptive immune responses. The activation of mast cells causes the release of multiple unique profiles of biomolecules, which are specific to both tissue and disease. These unique characteristics are tightly regulated and afford a localized stimulus for targeting inflammatory diseases. Herein, these important mast cell attributes are discussed in the frame of highlighting strategies for the design of bioresponsive functional materials to target regions of inflammations.

Abstract
Nanoparticle drug delivery systems have drawn considerable attention worldwide due to their unique characteristics and advantages in anticancer drug delivery. Herein, the curcumin (Cur) loaded nanomicelles with two-stage drug release behavior were developed. β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) and cholesterol were conjugated onto both ends of the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chain to obtain an amphiphilic β-CD-PEG-Chol. The Cur was loaded into the cavities of β-CD and nanomicelle when the β-CD-PEG-Chol self-assembled to the Cur@β-CD-PEG-Chol nanomicelles (Cur@CPC NMs). These Cur@CPC NMs are spherical particles with a particle size of 120.9 nm. The Cur drug loading capacity of Cur@CPC NMs are 61.6 ± 6.9 mg/g. The release behavior of Cur from Cur@CPC NMs conformed to a two-stage mode of "burst-release followed by sustained-release". The prepared Cur@CPC NMs possess high storage stability and excellent hemocompatibility. Moreover, these Cur@CPC NMs exhibit satisfactory antioxidant activity and anticancer activity, resulting in significant reduction in intracellular H2O2-induced ROS and a nearly 50% lethality rate of HepG-2 cells. Meanwhile, the Cur@CPC NMs show good anti-inflammatory activity, by which the secretion of inflammatory factors of IL-6 and TNF-α are inhibited. Overall, the developed Cur@CPC NMs show application prospects in anticancer drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Rapidly growing viral infections are potent risks to public health worldwide. Accessible virus-specific antiviral vaccines and drugs are therapeutically inert to emerging viruses, such as Zika, Ebola, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Therefore, discovering ways to prevent and control viral infections is among the foremost medical challenge of our time. Recently, innovative technologies are emerging that involve the development of new biomaterial-based formulations and surfaces endowed with broad-spectrum antiviral properties. Here, we review emerging biomaterials technologies for controlling viral infections. Relevant advances in biomaterials employed with nanotechnology to inactivate viruses or to inhibit virus replication and further their translation in safe and effective antiviral formulations in clinical trials are discussed. We have included antiviral approaches based on both organic and inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), which offer many advantages over molecular medicine. An insight into the development of immunomodulatory scaffolds in designing new platforms for personalized vaccines is also considered. Substantial research on natural products and herbal medicines and their potential in novel antiviral drugs are discussed. Furthermore, to control contagious viral infections, i.e., to reduce the viral load on surfaces, current strategies focusing on biomimetic anti-adhesive surfaces through nanostructured topography and hydrophobic surface modification techniques are introduced. Biomaterial surfaces functionalized with antimicrobial polymers and nanoparticles against viral infections are also discussed. We recognize the importance of research on antiviral biomaterials and present potential strategies for future directions in applying these biomaterial-based approaches to control viral infections and SARS-CoV-2.
