Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. It was estimated that 90 % of cancer-related deaths were attributable to the development of multi-drug resistance (MDR) during chemotherapy, which results in ineffective chemotherapy. Hydrophobic natural products plays a pivotal role in the field of cancer therapy, with the potential to reverse MDR in tumor cells, thereby enhancing the efficacy of tumor therapy. However, their targeted delivery is considered a major hurdle in their application. The advent of numerous approaches for encapsulating bioactive ingredients in the nanodelivery systems has improved the stability and targeted delivery of these biomolecules. The manuscript comprehensively analyses the nanodelivery systems of bioactive compounds with potential cancer therapy applications, including liposomes, emulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles (NPs), and polymeric NPs. Then, the advantages and disadvantages of various nanoagents in the treatment of various cancer types are critically discussed. Further, the application of multiple-compbine delivery methods to overcome the limitations of single-delivery have need critically analyzed, which thus could help in the designing nanodrug delivery systems for bioactive compounds in clinical settings. Therefore, the review is timely and important for development of efficient nanodelivery systems involving hydrophobic natural products to improve pharmacokinetic properties for effective cancer treatment.

Foods 2023; 12:3767. [PMID: 37893660 PMCID: PMC10606543 DOI: 10.3390/foods12203767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This work aimed to clarify the effects of gum arabic (GA) on the morphology and properties of ovotransferrin fibrils (OVTFs). By constructing OVTF-GA complexes and exploring the dispersion stability, turbidity and the ζ-potential of the complexes, the optimum mass ratio of OVTFs to GA and pH for complex formation were confirmed as being 1:1 and pH 4.6, respectively. The interaction between OVTFs and GA was determined to be predominantly driven by electrostatic attraction. The OVTF-GA complexes exhibited a knot-like structure when observed using atomic force microscopy. Then, OVTFs and OVTF-GA complexes were compared in terms of contact angle, surface hydrophobicity and dynamic interfacial tension. The combination of OVTFs and GA decreased the contact angle of OVTFs from 80.85° to 70.36°. In comparison with OVTFs, OVTF-GA complexes reduced the oil-water interfacial tension to a lower level (8.14 mN/m). Furthermore, the capacities of OVTF-GA complexes in stabilizing emulsions were explored. OVTF-GA complex-stabilized oleogel-based Pickering emulsion (OGPE) was constructed, and OVTF-stabilized oleogel-based Pickering emulsion (OPE) was used as the control. OGPE had a higher emulsified phase volume fraction (EPVF) and stability index (SI). The EPVF of OGPE was 100.0% and 99.4% before and after one-month storage, respectively, compared with 98.3% and 95.7% of OPE. This work can provide some useful references for the design of biopolymers with novel structures composed of protein fibrils and polysaccharides, which may also help to construct and apply protein fibril-polysaccharide complexes under specific needs.

Abstract
Fully or partially charged oligosaccharide molecules play a key role in many areas of biology, where their fine structures are crucial in determining their functionality. However, the separation of specific charged oligosaccharides from similar moieties that typically coexist in extracted samples, even for those that are unbranched, and in cases where each saccharide moiety can only carry a single charge or not, is far from trivial. Typically such molecules are characterized by a degree of polymerization n and a number m (and distribution) of charged residues, and must be separated from a plethora of similar species possessing different combinations of n and m. Furthermore, the separation of the possible n!/m!(n-m)! isomers of each species of fixed n and m is a formidable challenge to analytical chemists. Herein, we report the results of molecular dynamics simulations that have been performed in order to calculate the free solution electrophoretic mobilities of galacturonides and charged oligosaccharides derived from digests of the important plant cell-wall polysaccharide pectin. The simulations are compared with an experiment and are found to correctly predict the loss of resolution of fully charged species above a critical degree of polymerization n and the ionic strength dependence of the electrophoretic mobilities of different partially charged oligosaccharides. It is expected that having a predictive tool for the calculation of the electrophoretic mobilities of differently charged oligosaccharide species in hand will allow experimental conditions that optimize the resolution of particular species to be ascertained and understood.
