Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:132271. [PMID: 38734330 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
As an anti-infection antibiotic delivery route, a drug-controlled release system based on a specific condition stimulus response can enhance drug stability and bioavailability, reduce antibiotic resistance, achieve on-demand release and improve targeting and utilization efficiency. In this study, chitosan-coated liposomes containing levofloxacin (Lef@Lip@CS) were prepared with lysozyme in body fluids serving as an intelligent "switch" to enable accurate delivery of antibiotics through the catalytic degradation ability of chitosan. Good liposome encapsulation efficacy (64.89 ± 1.86 %) and loading capacity (5.28 ± 0.18 %) were achieved. The controlled-release behavior and morphological characterization before and after enzymatic hydrolysis confirmed that the levofloxacin release rate depended on the lysozyme concentration and the degrees of deacetylation of chitosan. In vitro bacteriostatic experiments showed significant differences in the effects of Lef@Lip@CS before and after enzyme addition, with 6-h inhibition rate of 72.46 % and 100 %, and biofilm removal rates of 51 % and 71 %, respectively. These findings show that chitosan-coated liposomes are a feasible drug delivery system responsive to lysozyme stimulation.

Abstract
Purpose Numerous failures in melanoma treatment as a highly aggressive form of skin cancer with an unfavorable prognosis and excessive resistance to conventional therapies are prompting an urgent search for more effective therapeutic tools. Consequently, to increase the treatment efficiency and to reduce the side effects of traditional administration ways, herein, it has become crucial to combine photodynamic therapy as a promising therapeutic approach with the selectivity and biocompatibility of a novel colloidal transdermal nanoplatform for effective delivery of hybrid cargo with synergistic effects on melanoma cells. Methods The self-assembled bilosomes, co-stabilized with L-α-phosphatidylcholine, sodium cholate, Pluronic® P123, and cholesterol, were designated, and the stability of colloidal vesicles was studied using dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering, also provided in cell culture medium (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium). The hybrid compounds - a classical photosensitizer (Methylene Blue) along with a complementary natural polyphenolic agent (curcumin), were successfully co-loaded, as confirmed by UV-Vis, ATR-FTIR, and fluorescent spectroscopies. The biocompatibility and usefulness of the polymer functionalized bilosome with loaded double cargo were demonstrated in vitro cyto- and phototoxicity experiments using normal keratinocytes and melanoma cancer cells. Results The in vitro bioimaging and immunofluorescence study upon human skin epithelial (A375) and malignant (Me45) melanoma cell lines established the protective effect of the PEGylated bilosome surface. This effect was confirmed in cytotoxicity experiments, also determined on human cutaneous (HaCaT) keratinocytes. The flow cytometry experiments indicated the enhanced uptake of the encapsulated hybrid cargo compared to the non-loaded MB and CUR molecules, as well as a selectivity of the obtained nanocarriers upon tumor cell lines. The phyto-photodynamic action provided 24h-post irradiation revealed a more significant influence of the nanoplatform on Me45 cells in contrast to the A375 cell line, causing the cell viability rate below 20% of the control. Conclusion As a result, we established an innovative and effective strategy for potential metastatic melanoma treatment through the synergism of phyto-photodynamic therapy and novel bilosomal-origin nanophotosensitizers.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop oral lipidic hybrids of amikacin sulfate (AMK), incorporating thiolated chitosan as a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor to enhance intestinal absorptivity and bioavailability. Three formulations were designed: PEGylated Liposomes, Chitosan-functionalized PEGylated (Chito-PEGylated) Lipidic Hybrids, and Thiolated Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids. The physical characteristics of nanovesicles were assessed. Ex-vivo permeation and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies were conducted to evaluate the formulations' potential to enhance AMK intestinal permeability. In-vivo pharmacokinetic studies in rats and histological/biochemical investigations assessed the safety profile and oral bioavailability. The AMK-loaded Thiolated Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids exhibited favorable physical characteristics, higher ex-vivo permeation parameters, and verified P-gp inhibition via CLSM. They demonstrated heightened oral bioavailability (68.62% absolute bioavailability) and a sufficient safety profile. Relative bioavailability was significantly higher (1556.3% and 448.79%) compared to PEGylated Liposomes and Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids, respectively, indicating remarkable oral AMK delivery with fewer doses, reduced side effects, and enhanced patient compliance.

Abstract
Liposomes (LPs) are a delivery system for stabilizing pharmaceuticals with limited use due to their propensity to congregate and fuse. A proposed method of addressing these problems is polymer coating. In this study, the potential of octadecylamine (ODA)-coated liposomes and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS/ODA-LPs) for enhancing Wacao pentacyclic triterpene saponin (WPTS) transport capacity was investigated. CMCS/ODA-LPs were produced by electrostatic adsorption and thin-film hydration. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to enhance the process and encapsulation efficiency (EE) for optimum drug encapsulation efficiency. The synthesized WPTS-CMCS/ODA-LPs were uniformly dispersed in a circular shape, and during 14 days of storage at 4 °C, the particle size and morphology did not significantly change. Vesicle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI), and entrapment efficiency (%) were 179.1 ± 7.31 nm, -29.6 ± 1.35 mV, 0.188 ± 0.052, and 75.62 ± 0.43, respectively. The hemolysis test revealed that WPTS-CMCS/ODA-LPs were sufficiently biocompatible. Compared to WPTS-LPs, WPTS-CMCS/ODA-LPs consistently showed a much more significant cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. Early and WPTS-CMCS/ODA-LPs-induced apoptosis resulted in almost seven times more cell death than the control. Compared to physiological pH 7.3, the pH-sensitive CMCS coupled LPs increased drug release at acidic pH 6.5. These findings suggest the efficacy of pH-sensitive CMCS/ODA-LPs as a medication delivery method for WPTS.

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to explore the feasibility of water in water (W/W) emulsion stabilized with liposomes as a water-soluble nutraceutical carrier. A W/W emulsion system composed of xanthan gum (XG) and whey protein isolate (WPI) with different amount (0.2 %, 0.4 %, and 0.6 %) of liposomes as stabilizer was constructed. Fast green staining observation showed that XG was the internal phase and WPI was the continuous phase respectively. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that with the increase of liposomes concentration from 0.4 % to 0.6 %, the interface thickness of the W/W emulsions was approximately twice that of the 0.2 % liposome-stabilized emulsion.The emulsions remained stable under neutral and weakly alkaline conditions. The droplet sizes of the emulsions were little affected by ionic strength. The binding constant (Ka) for XG to riboflavin (12.22) was approximately 5 times that for WPI to riboflavin (2.46), suggesting that riboflavin had a stronger binding affinity for the XG molecule compared to WPI. The fluorescence spectra of riboflavin showed that 0.4 % and 0.6 % liposome stabilized emulsions could effectively retard the photodegradation of riboflavin under ultraviolet irradiation. The successful construction of liposomes stabilized W/W emulsion provides a novel strategy for delivering water-soluble bioactive substances.

Abstract
Recently, the use of biopolymers as coating material to stabilise phospholipid-based nanocarriers has increased. One such class of biopolymers is the dietary fibre beta-glucan (βG). In this study, we developed and characterized beta-carotene (βC) loaded βG coated nanoliposomes (GNLs) to investigate the effect of βG coating on the stability, controlled release, bioaccessibility, diffusion and subsequent absorption of the lipophilic active agent. The size, charge (Z-potential), and FTIR spectra were measured to determine the physicochemical stability of GNLs. βG coating reduced the bioaccessibility, provided prolonged release and improved the antioxidant activity of the nanoliposomes. Multiple particle tracking (MPT) data suggested that βC-GNLs were less diffusive in porcine intestinal mucus (PIM). Additionally, the microviscosity of the PIM treated with GNLs was observed to be higher (0.04744 ± 0.00865 Pa s) than the PIM incubated with uncoated NLs (0.015 ± 0.0004 Pa s). An Ex vivo experiment was performed on mouse jejunum to measure the absorption of beta-carotene from coated (βC-GNLs) and uncoated nanoliposomes (βC-NLs). Data showed that after 2 hours, 27.7 ± 1.3 ng mL-1 of βC encapsulated in GNLs and 61.54 ± 3 ng mL-1 of the βC encapsulated in uncoated NLs was absorbed by mouse intestinal mucosa. These results highlight that coating with βG stabilise NLs during gastrointestinal digestion and provides more sustained release of βC from nanoliposomes.

Abstract
Lutein is an antioxidant with multiple beneficial functions. However, its therapeutic potential is hampered by its low water solubility and bioavailability. The goal of this study is to compare the stability of lutein-loaded liposomes (Lu-lip) and low (LC)/high molecular weight (HC) chitosan-coated Lu-lip, along with their antioxidant capacity using H2O2-induced HepG2 cells and their lipid-lowering activity using high-fat diet mice. Both LC and HC reduced the lutein degradation rate by 17.5 % and 26.72 % in a challenging environment at pH 6 and T = 4 °C. Compared to LC, the HC coating improved the size- and zeta-potential-stability of Lu-lip at 5 < pH < 7, with the best performance at pH 6. The HC coating prolonged the lutein release profile, increased the cellular uptake of Lu-lip, and reduced the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and the H2O2-induced necrotic cell ratios by increasing the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). Animal experiments have shown that oral administration of LC and HC coated Lu-lip can significantly reduce body weight levels, total triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and non-high-density lipoprotein (n-HDL-C) in high-fat diet mice while significantly increasing the levels of CAT, SOD and GSH-Px in the liver of mice. LC and HC coated Lu-lip can reduce fat accumulation in the liver and epididymal adipose tissue.

Abstract
Binary ethosome vesicles have been developed as flexible lipid vesicles for the enhanced physicochemical stability and skin delivery of drugs. This work aimed to prepare phloretin-loaded propylene glycol ethosomes (PHL-PGEs) to improve their stability, skin permeability and antioxidant activity. PHL-PGEs were prepared via the ethanol injection method and optimized using different weight ratios of ethanol to propylene glycol (PG). When the ethanol/PG mass ratio changed from 10:0 to 0:10, the encapsulation efficiency and stability of ethosomes increased. At a PHL concentration of 1mg/mL, the EE% was 89.42 ± 2.42 and the DL% was 4.21 ± 0.04, which exhibited their highest values. The encapsulation of the PHL in the PHL-PGEs was strengthened via XRD analysis and FTIR analysis. The results of the in vitro percutaneous permeability test demonstrated that the combined use of ethanol and PG exhibited a notable enhancement in skin permeability, and the skin retention of PHL-PGEs was 1.06 times that of PHL-ethosomes (PHL-Es) and 2.24 times that of the PHL solution. An in vitro antioxidant activity study indicated that solubility and antioxidant activity was potentiated via the nanoencapsulation of phloretin. Therefore, these results confirm the potential of this nanocarrier to enhance physicochemical stability, skin permeability and antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumor recognized as a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Therefore, novel liposomes of oleic acid coated with camel α-lactalbumin (α-LA coated liposomes) were developed for their potential antitumor activity against CRC, both in vitro and in DMH-induced CRC-modeled animal. In vitro results indicated the high safety of α-LA coated liposomes towards normal human cells with potent antitumor activity against Caco-2 cells at an IC50 value of 57.01 ± 3.55 µM with selectivity index of 6.92 ± 0.48. This antitumor activity has been attributed to induction of the apoptotic mechanism, as demonstrated by nuclear condensation and arrest of Caco-2 cells in sub-G1 populations. α-LA coated liposomes also revealed a significant up-regulation of the p53 gene combined with a down-regulation of the Bcl2 gene. Moreover, in vivo results revealed that treatment of induced-CRC modeled animals with α-LA coated liposomes for six weeks markedly improved the CRC-disorders; this was achieved from the significant reduction in the values of AFP, CEA, CA19.9, TNF-α, IL-1β, MDA, and NO coupled with remarkable rise in SOD, GPx, GSH, CAT, and CD4+ levels. The histopathological findings asserted the therapeutic potential of α-LA coated liposomes in the treatment of CRC. Therefore, the present results proved the antitumor activity of α-LA coated liposomes against CRC through the restoration of impaired oxidative stress, improved immune response, and reduced inflammation.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

[PMID: 37521668 PMCID: PMC10372937 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c02530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023]
Abstract
Green formulations of phytonutrients with enhanced solubility and bioavailability are of great significance in nutrition therapy. In the present contribution, we hypothesized that the collagen peptides could be a safe, natural, food-grade, and cost-effective functional agent for the surface decoration and stabilization of liposomes in powder form and hence a "green" solution for the oral delivery of phytonutrients. The present study reports a two-stage supramolecular self-assembly-directed process for the preparation of collagen peptide-decorated liposomal complexes of curcumin (CCL) [10% (w/w)] as microspheres (125 ± 25 μm) with improved solubility (1.46 × 105-fold) and sustained-release properties under gastrointestinal pH conditions. The molecular self-assembly of collagen peptides around the lipid bilayers and the various noncovalent interactions and conformational changes leading to the supramolecular assembly to act as a matrix for the encapsulation of lipid vesicles of curcumin were clear from the spectroscopic studies (UV-vis, fluorescence, FTIR, and circular dichroism). Further investigation of pharmacokinetics following a randomized double-blinded controlled trial on healthy volunteers (n = 15) demonstrated that the oral administration of 2.5 g of CCL sachet (250 mg of curcumin) enhanced the plasma concentration (Cmax: 118 vs. 4.3 ng/mL), the elimination half-life (4.2 vs. 0.7 h), and bioavailability as per the area under the curve over 12 h [AUC0-12h (CCL) = 506·8 vs. AUC0-12h (C95) = 9.47 (53-fold)], when the plasma concentration of curcumin was estimated with triple quadruple tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS).

Food Chem 2023; 414:135685. [PMID: 36809726 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.135685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
Sodium alginate (SA) was used to coat liposomes containing DPP-IV inhibitory collagen peptides to improve their stability and in vitro absorption for intra-oral delivery. The liposome structure as well as entrapment efficiency and DPP-IV inhibitory activity was characterized. The liposome stability was determined by measuring in vitro release rates and their gastrointestinal stability. Transcellular permeability of liposomes was further tested to characterize their permeability in small intestinal epithelial cells. The results showed that the 0.3% SA coating increased the diameter (166.7 nm to 249.9 nm), absolute value of zeta potential (30.2 mV to 40.1 mV) and entrapment efficiency (61.52% to 70.99%) of liposomes. The SA-coated liposomes containing collagen peptides showed enhanced storage stability within one month, gastrointestinal stability increased by 50% in bioavailability, transcellular permeability increased by 18% in transmission percentage, and in vitro release rates reduced by 34%, compared to uncoated liposomes. SA coating liposomes are promising carriers for transporting hydrophilic molecules, may be beneficial for improving nutrient absorption and can protect bioactive compounds from being inactivated in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
The limitations associated with the conventional treatment of cancer have necessitated the design and development of novel drug delivery systems based mainly on nanotechnology. These novel drug delivery systems include various kinds of nanoparticles, such as polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, hydrogels, and polymeric micelles. Among the various kinds of novel drug delivery systems, chitosan-based nanoparticles have attracted the attention of researchers to treat cancer. Chitosan is a polycationic polymer generated from chitin with various characteristics such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and mucoadhesiveness, making it an ideal polymer to fabricate drug delivery systems. However, chitosan is poorly soluble in water and soluble in acidic aqueous solutions. Furthermore, owing to the presence of reactive amino groups, chitosan can be chemically modified to improve its physiochemical properties. Chitosan and its modified derivatives can be employed to fabricate nanoparticles, which are used most frequently in the pharmaceutical sector due to their possession of various characteristics such as nanosize, appropriate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, non-immunogenicity, improved stability, and improved drug loading capacity. Furthermore, it is capable of delivering nucleic acids, chemotherapeutic medicines, and bioactives using modified chitosan. Chitosan and its modified derivative-based nanoparticles can be targeted to specific cancer sites via active and passive mechanisms. Based on chitosan drug delivery systems, many anticancer drugs now have better effectiveness, potency, cytotoxicity, or biocompatibility. The characteristics of chitosan and its chemically tailored derivatives, as well as their use in cancer therapy, will be examined in this review.

Abstract
Oral cancer accounts for more than 350000 cases worldwide with 90% of them being oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). The current treatment modalities of chemoradiation have poor outcomes along with harmful effects to neighbouring healthy tissues. The present study aimed to deliver Erlotinib (ERB), locally at the site of tumor arising in the oral cavity. ERB was encapsulated in liposomal formulations (ERB Lipo) and optimized using full factorial, 32 experimental design. The optimized batch was then coated with chitosan to obtain CS-ERB Lipo and were characterized further. Both liposomal ERB formulations had size less than 200nm and PDI less than 0.4. Zeta potential was upto -50mV for ERB Lipo and upto + 25mV for CS-ERB Lipo indicating stable formulation. Liposomal formulations were freeze dried and loaded into gel to study in-vitro release and chemotherapeutic evaluation. CS-ERB Lipo showed sustained release upto 36 h from gel as compared to control formulation. In-vitro cell viability studies showed potent anti-cancer activity on KB-cells. In-vivo studies showed better pharmacological efficacy in terms of tumor volume reduction for ERB LIPO gel (49.19%) and CS-ERB Lipo gel (55.27%) as compared to plain ERB Gel (38.88%) applied locally. Histology also revealed that formulation could alleviate dysplasia condition to hyperplasia. The locoregional therapy of ERB Lipo gel and CS-ERB Lipo gel thus show promising outcome in improving pre-malignant and early-stage oral cavity cancers.

Anticancer activity of lactoferrin-coated biosynthesized selenium nanoparticles for combating different human cancer cells via mediating apoptotic effects. Sci Rep 2023; 13:9579.

Abstract
The present study aims to develop a novel nanocombination with high selectivity against several invasive cancer cells, sparing normal cells and tissues. Bovine lactoferrin (bLF) has recently captured the interest of numerous medical fields owing to its biological activities and well-known immunomodulatory effects. BLF is an ideal protein to be encapsulated or adsorbed into selenium nanocomposites (Se NPs) in order to produce stable nanocombinations with potent anticancer effects and improved immunological functions. The biosynthesis of the functionalized Se NPs was achieved using Rhodotorula sp. strain MZ312359 via a simultaneous bio-reduction approach to selenium sodium salts. The physicochemical properties of Se NPs using SEM, TEM, FTIR, UV Vis, XRD, and EDX confirmed the formation of uniform agglomerated spheres with a size of 18-40 nm. Se NPs were successfully embedded in apo-LF (ALF), forming a novel nanocombination of ALF-Se NPs with a spherical shape and an average nanosize of less than 200 nm. The developed ALF-Se NPs significantly displayed an effective anti-proliferation efficiency against many cancer cells, including MCF-7, HepG-2, and Caco-2 cell lines, as compared to Se NPs and ALF in free forms. ALF-Se NPs showed a significant selectivity impact (> 64) against all treated cancer cells at IC50 63.10 ≤ μg/mL, as well as the strongest upregulation of p53 and suppression of Bcl-2, MMP-9, and VEGF genes. Besides, ALF-Se NPs were able to show the maximum activation of transcrition of key redox mediator (Nrf2) with suppression in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels inside all treated cancer cells. This study demonstrates that this novel nanocombination of ALF-Se NPs has superior selectivity and apoptosis-mediating anticancer activity over free ALF or individual form of Se NPs.

Abstract
Unsatisfactory solid-tumor penetration or rapid metabolism of nanomaterials limits their therapeutic efficacy. Here, we designed an injectable thiolated hyaluronate (HA-SH) hydrogel as a stable drug-releasing platform for in situ tumor treatment. Biodegradable star-shaped polylactide (S-PLLA) was first synthesized and fabricated to porous microspheres to encapsulate hydrophobic curcumin (Cur@S-PLLA), which was then blended with hydrophilic doxorubicin (Dox) and the HA-SH precursor to form composite in situ formable hydrogels [Cur@S-PLLA/(Dox)HA-SH]. The results showed that adding the microspheres improved the performance of the hydrogel, such as decreasing the gelation time from 1080 s to 960 s and also the swelling ratio. The mechanical strength increased from 27 to 45 kPa. In addition, the double drug system guaranteed a sustained release of drugs, releasing Dox at the early stage, with the continuous later release of Cur after gel swelling or S-PLLA degradation to achieve long-lasting tumor suppression, which inhibits the survival of cancer cells. The inhibitory effects of the hydrogels on MCF-7 were studied. The cell activity in the double-loaded hydrogel was significantly lower than that of the control groups, and apparent dead cells appeared in 2 days and fewer living cells with time. Flow cytometry revealed that the Cur@S-PLLA/(Dox)HA-SH group had the highest apoptosis ratio of 86.60% at 12 h, and the drugs caused the cell cycle to be blocked in phase M to reduce cell division. In summary, the innovative release platform is expected to be used in long-lasting tumor suppression and provides more ideas for the design of drug carriers.

Encapsulation of Ammoides pusila Essential Oil into Mesoporous Silica Particles for the Enhancement of Their Activity against Fusarium avenaceum and Its Enniatins Production. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28073194. [PMID: 37049956 PMCID: PMC10096032 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28073194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Essential oils (EOs) that have antifungal activity and mycotoxin reduction ability are candidates to develop bioactive alternatives and environmentally friendly treatment against Fusarium species in cereals. However, their practical use is facing limitations such as high volatility, UV sensitivity, and fast oxidation. Encapsulation techniques are supposed to provide protection to the EOs and control their release into the environment. Ammoides pusilla essential oil (AP-EO) proved to be an efficient inhibitor of Fusarium avenaceum growth and its enniatins (ENNs) production. In the present work, AP-EO was encapsulated, using the impregnation method, into mesoporous silica particles (MSPs) with narrow slit pores (average diameter = 3.1 nm) and coated with chitosan. In contact assays using an agar medium, the antifungal activity of AP-EO at 0.1 µL mL-1 improved by three times when encapsulated into MSPs without chitosan and the ENNs production was significantly inhibited both in coated and non-coated MSPs. Controls of MSPs also inhibited the ENNs production without affecting the mycelial growth. In fumigation experiments assessing the activity of the EO volatile compounds, encapsulation into MSPs improved significantly both the antifungal activity and ENNs inhibition. Moreover, coating with chitosan stopped the release of EO. Thus, encapsulation of an EO into MSPs improving its antifungal and antimycotoxin properties is a promising tool for the formulation of a natural fungicide that could be used in the agriculture or food industry to protect plant or food products from the contamination by toxigenic fungi such as Fusarium sp. and their potential mycotoxins.

Abstract
Liposomes carry various compounds with applications in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic fields, and the administration route is especially parenteral, oral, or transdermal. Liposomes are used to preserve and release the internal components, thus maintaining the properties of the compounds, the stability and shelf life of the encapsulated products, and their functional benefits. The main problem in obtaining liposomes at the industrial level is their low stability due to fragile phospholipid membranes. To increase the stability of liposomes, phospholipid bilayers have been modified or different coating materials have been developed and studied, both for liposomes with applications in the pharmaceutical field and liposomes in the food field. In the cosmetic field, liposomes need no additional coating because the liposomal formulation is intended to have a fast penetration into the skin. The aim of this review is to provide current knowledge regarding physical and chemical factors that influence stability, coating materials for liposomes with applications in the pharmaceutical and food fields to increase the stability of liposomes containing various sensitive compounds, and absorption of the liposomes and commercial liposomal products obtained through various technologies available on the market.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies among females and is correlated with a significant fatality rate. Chemotherapy is the most common treatment for cervical cancer; however, it has a low success rate due to significant side effects and the incidence of chemo-resistance. Curcumin, a polyphenolic natural compound derived from turmeric, acts as an antioxidant by diffusing across cell membranes into the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and nucleus, where it performs its effects. As a result, it's been promoted as a chemo-preventive, anti-metastatic, and anti-angiogenic agent. As a consequence, the main goal of the present review was to gather research information that looked at the link between curcumin and its derivatives against cervical cancer.

The chitosan coating of nanoliposomes containing Spirulina platensis hydrolyzed proteins increased their size and zeta potential. The fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) test showed an effective interaction between the hydrolyzed protein, the nanoliposome, and the chitosan coating. Increasing the concentration of hydrolyzed protein and the percentage of chitosan coating neutralized the decreasing effect of microencapsulation on the antioxidant activity of peptides. Chitosan coating (1%) resulted in improved stability of size, zeta potential, and poly dispersity index (PDI) of nanoliposomes, and lowered the release of the hydrolyzed Spirulina platensis protein from nanoliposomes. Increasing the percentage of chitosan coating neutralized the decrease in antibacterial properties of nanoliposomes containing hydrolyzed proteins. This study showed that 1% chitosan-coated nanoliposomes can protect Spirulina platensis hydrolyzed proteins and maintain their antioxidant and antibacterial activities.

Abstract
Caffeine, as one of the most consumed bioactive compounds globally, has gained considerable attention during the last years. Considering the bitter taste and adverse effects of high levels of caffeine consumption, it is crucial to apply a strategy for masking the caffeine's bitter taste and facilitating its programmable deliverance within a long time. Other operational parameters such as food processing parameters, exposure to sunlight and oxygen, and gastrointestinal digestion could also degrade the phenolic compounds in general and caffeine in special. To overcome these challenges, various nano/micro-platforms have been fabricated, including lipid-based (e.g., nanoliposomal vehicles; nanoemulsions, double emulsions, Pickering emulsions; microemulsions; niosomal vehicles; solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers), as well as biopolymeric (e.g., nanoparticles; hydrogels, organogels, oleogels; nanofibers and nanotubes; protein-polysaccharide nanocomplexes, conjugates; cyclodextrin inclusion complexes) and inorganic (e.g., gold and silica nanoparticles) nano/micro-structures. In this review, the findings on various caffeine-loaded nano/micro-carriers and their potential applications in functional food products/supplements will be discussed. Also, the controlled release and bioavailability of encapsulated caffeine will be given, and finally, the toxicity and safety of encapsulated caffeine will be presented.

Abstract
The purity of soy lecithin exerts significant impact on nanoliposome (NL) properties for food applications. In this study, three soy lecithin of different purity were used to prepare NL. LC-MS analysis confirmed soy lecithin of relatively low purify (50% and 70%) contains multiple natural phospholipids. NL produced by soy lecithin of middle purity (70%) is smaller and more stable than other counterparts. Ultimately, soy lecithin of 70% purity was selected to develop NL encapsulated crocetin (CR) as model payload and further coated by chitosan (CS). The structure characteristic, physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory activity of crocetin nanoliposome (CR-NL) and chitosan coated crocetin nanoliposome (CS-CR-NL) were evaluated. NL encapsulation and CS coating significantly improve antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ability of CR, and prolong storage period of CR (p < 0.05). For food applications, soy lecithin of middle purity (70%) is cheaper and more appropriate than soy lecithin of high purity.

Abstract
In recent years, natural polysaccharides have been considered as the ideal candidates for novel drug delivery systems because of their good biocompatibility, biodegradation, low immunogenicity, renewable source and easy modification. These natural polymers are widely used in the designing of nanocarriers, which possess wide applications in therapeutics, diagnostics, delivery and protection of bioactive compounds or drugs. A great deal of studies could be focused on developing polysaccharide nanoparticles and promoting their application in various fields, especially in biomedicine. In this review, a variety of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers were introduced, including nanoliposomes, nanoparticles, nanomicelles, nanoemulsions and nanohydrogels, focusing on the latest research progress of these nanocarriers in the treatment of diabetes and the possible strategies for further study of polysaccharide nanocarriers.

Abstract
In this study, a novel approach was investigated to improve the stability of anthocyanin compounds (AC) by encapsulating them in nanoliposomes resulting from rapeseed lecithin alongside chitosan coating. The results indicate that the particle size, electrophoretic mobility, encapsulation efficiency, and membrane fluidity of nanoliposomes containing anthocyanin compounds were 132.41 nm, −3.26 µm·cm/V·S, 42.57%, and 3.41, respectively, which changed into 188.95 nm, +4.80 µm·cm/V·S, 61.15%, and 2.39 after coating with chitosan, respectively. The results also suggest improved physical and chemical stability of nanoliposomes after coating with chitosan. TEM images demonstrate the produced particles were spherical and had a nanoscale, where the existence of a chitosan layer around the nanoparticles was visible. Shear rheological tests illustrate that the flow behavior of nanoliposomes was altered from Newtonian to shear thinning following chitosan incorporation. Further, chitosan diminished the surface area of the hysteresis loop (thixotropic behavior). The oscillatory rheological tests also show the presence of chitosan led to the improved mechanical stability of nanoliposomes. The results of the present study demonstrate that chitosan coating remarkably improved encapsulation efficiency, as well as the physical and mechanical stability of nanoliposomes. Thus, coating AC-nanoliposomes with chitosan is a promising approach for effective loading of AC and enhancing their stability to apply in the pharmaceutic and food industries.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nanovesicle technology is making a huge contribution to the progress of treatment studies for various diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is the leading neurodegenerative disorder characterized by severe cognitive impairment. Despite the prevalence of several forms of anti-AD drugs, the accelerating pace of AD incidence cannot becurbed, and for rescue, nanovesicle technology has grabbed much attention. METHODOLOGY Comprehensive literature search was carried out using relevant keywords and online database platforms. The main concepts that have been covered included a complex pathomechanism underlying increased acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity, β-amyloid aggregation, and tau-hyperphosphorylation forming neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain, which are amongst the major hallmarks of AD pathology. Therapeutic recommendations exist in the form of AchE inhibitors, along with anti-amyloid and anti-tau therapeutics, which are being explored at a high pace. The degree of the therapeutic outcome, however, gets restricted by the pharmacological limitations. Susceptibility to peripheral metabolism and rapid elimination, inefficiency to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and reach the target brain site are the factors that lower the biostability and bioavailability of anti-AD drugs. The nanovesicle technology has emerged as a route to preserve the therapeutic efficiency of the anti-AD drugs and promote AD treatment. The review hereby aims to summarize the developments made by the nanovesicle technology in aiding the delivery of synthetic and plant-based therapeutics targeting the molecular mechanism of AD pathology. CONCLUSION Nanovesicles appear to efficiently aid in target-specific delivery of anti-AD therapeutics and nullify the drawbacks posed by free drugs, besides reducing the dosage requirement and the adversities associated. In addition, the nanovesicle technology also appears to uplift the therapeutic potential of several phyto-compounds with immense anti-AD properties. Furthermore, the review also sheds light on future perspectives to mend the gaps that prevail in the nanovesicle-mediated drug delivery in AD treatment strategies.

Abstract
Valproic acid (VPA) usage in high dose is teratogen with low bioavailability. Hence to improve its efficacy and reduce its side effect it was encapsulated by the Nano liposomes and stabilized by the chitosan at different concentrations. The cellular uptake, biocompatibility, loading and encapsulation efficiency of the six-different formulations (1:1, 2:1, and 4:1 of chitosan-phospholipids: VPA), PC12 differentiation to neuron cells assays (gene-expression level by qRT-PCR) were conducted for the efficacy assessment of the Nano carriers. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) results revealed that the encapsulation of the VPA corresponds to the phospholipids dose, where 2:1 formulations showed higher encapsulating rate (64.5% for non-coated and 80% for coated by chitosan). The time monitored released of VPA also showed that the chitosan could enhance its controlled release too. The cellular uptake exhibited similar uptake behavior for both the coated and the non-coated Nano carriers and cytoplasmic distribution. We witnessed no toxicity effects, at different concentrations, for both formulations. Moreover, the results indicated that the gene expression level of SOX2, NeuroD1, and Neurofilament 200 increased from 1 to 5 folds for different genes. The qRT-PCR data were confirmed by the immunofluorescence antibodies staining, where Neurofilament 68 and SOX2 cell markers were modulated during differentiation of PC12 cells. Finally, our findings suggest promising potential for the Lip-VPA-Chit Nano carrier in inducing the differentiation of PC12 into neuron for treating neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Genetic medicines hold great promise for treatment of a number of diseases, however, the development of effective gene delivery carrier is still a challenge. The commonly used gene carrier liposomes and cationic polymers have limited their clinical application due to their respective disadvantages. Lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LHNPs) are novel drug delivery system which exhibit complementary characteristics of both polymeric nanoparticles and liposomes. In this account, we developed the α-cyclodextrin conjugated generation-2 polyamidoamine dendrimers-lipids hybrid nanoparticles (CDG2-LHNPs) for gene delivery. The pDNA/CDG2-LHNPs was stable during 15 days storage period both at 4 °C, 25 °C and 37 °C, whereas the particle size of pDNA/CDG2 and pDNA/liposomes dramatically increased after storage at 4 °C for 8 h. CDG2-LHNPs showed significantly superior transfection efficiencies compared to either CDG2 or liposomes. The mechanism of high transfection efficiency of pDNA/CDG2-LHNPs was further explored using pharmacological inhibitors chlorpromazine, filipin and cytochalasion D. The result demonstrated that cell uptake of pDNA/CDG2-LHNPs was mediated by clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), caveolae-mediated endocytosis (CvME) and macropinocytosis together. pDNA/CDG2-LHNPs were more likely be taken up by cells through CVME, which avoided lysosomal degradation to a large extent. Moreover, the liposome component of pDNA/CDG2-LHNPs increased its cell uptake efficiency, and the CDG2 polymer component increased its proton buffer capacity, so the hybrid nanoparticles taken up by CME could also successfully escape from the lysosome. This CDG2-LHNPs with stability and high transfection efficiency overcome the shortcomings of liposomes and polymers applied separately, and has great potential for gene drug delivery.

Abstract
Liposomes are highly advantageous platforms for drug delivery. To improve the colloidal stability and avoid rapid uptake by the mononuclear phagocytic system of conventional liposomes while controlling the release of encapsulated agents, modification of liposomes with well-designed polymers to modulate the physiological, particularly the interfacial properties of the drug carriers, has been intensively investigated. Briefly, polymers are incorporated into liposomes mainly using “grafting” or “coating”, defined according to the configuration of polymers at the surface. Polymer-modified liposomes preserve the advantages of liposomes as drug-delivery carriers and possess specific functionality from the polymers, such as long circulation, precise targeting, and stimulus-responsiveness, thereby resulting in improved pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, toxicity, and therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we summarize the progress in polymer-modified liposomes for drug delivery, focusing on the change in physiological properties of liposomes and factors influencing the overall therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside (Pg) is a well-known anthocyanin derivative possessing potential biological activity. Nonetheless, the bioactivity of Pg is limited due to instability in the physiological environment. Functionalized nanoliposomes using chitosan and/or pectin coating is an excellent carrier system for nanoencapsulation of food bioactive compounds such as Pg. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the protective effect of Pg-loaded pectin–chitosan coated nanoliposomes against palmitic acid (PA)-induced hepatocytes injury in L02 cells. Firstly, Pg-loaded pectin–chitosan coated nanoliposomes were characterized using the DLS, HPLC, TEM, and cellular uptake study in L02 cells. Thereafter, we assayed the protective effect against PA-induced lipotoxicity, ROS and O2•− generation, mitochondrial dysfunction (MMP), and GSH depletion. Results showed that Pg-loaded nanoliposomes significantly reduced the PA-induced L02 cells toxicity via suppressing ROS production, O2•− generation, MMP collapse, and GSH reduction, whereas the free-Pg samples were not effective. On the contrary, the chitosan and/or pectin coated nanoliposomes showed higher results compared to coating-free nanoliposomes. Altogether, the results of our study ensured that Pg-loaded pectin–chitosan coated nanoliposomes was capable of reducing PA-induced hepatocytes injury. Thus, pectin–chitosan coated nanoliposomes can be useful for hepatocellular delivery of hydrophilic compounds with greater biological activity.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has been a dynamic field for formulation scientists with multidisciplinary research being conducted worldwide. Advancements in development of functional nanosystems have led to evolution of breakthrough technologies. Lipidic nanosystems, in particular, are highly preferred owing to their non-immunogenic safety profiles along with a range of versatile intrinsic properties. Surface modification of lipid nanoparticles by anchoring carbohydrates to these systems is one such attractive drug delivery technology. Carbohydrates confer interesting properties to the nanosystems such as stealth, biostability, bioavailability, reduced toxicity due to decreased immunogenic response, targeting potential as well as ease of commercial availability. The carbohydrate anchored systems can be developed using methods such as adsorption, incorporation (nanoprecipitation or solvent displacement method), crosslinking and grafting. Current review provides a detailed overview of potential lipid based nanoparticulate systems with an emphasis on liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructures lipid carriers and micelles. Review further explores basics of surface modification, methods applied therein, advantages of carbohydrates as surface modifiers, their versatile applications, techniques for characterization of carbohydrate anchored systems and vital regulatory aspects concerned with these specialized systems.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15030275. [PMID: 35337073 PMCID: PMC8954636 DOI: 10.3390/ph15030275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Methods of large-scale controllable production of uniform monodispersed spherical nanoparticles have been one of the research directions of scientists in recent years. In this paper, we report an azeotropic distillation-induced evaporation self-assembly method as a universal method, and monodispersed hydrophobic ordered mesoporous silica nanospheres (MHSs) were successfully synthesized by this method, using triethoxymethylsilane (MTES) as the silica precursor and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as the template. SEM and TEM images showed good monodispersity, sphericity, and uniform diameter. Meanwhile, SAXS and N2 adsorption–desorption measurements demonstrated a highly ordered lamellar mesostructure with a large pore volume. The model drug, curcumin was successfully encapsulated in MHSs for drug delivery testing, and their adsorption capacity was 3.45 mg g−1, which greatly improved the stability of curcumin. The release time when net release rate of curcumin reached 50% was extended to 6 days.

coupled Hydrodynamic Flow Focusing (cHFF) to Engineer Lipid–Polymer Nanoparticles (LiPoNs) for Multimodal Imaging and Theranostic Applications. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10020438. [PMID: 35203647 PMCID: PMC8962394 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10020438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
An optimal design of nanocarriers is required to overcome the gap between synthetic and biological identity, improving the clinical translation of nanomedicine. A new generation of hybrid vehicles based on lipid–polymer coupling, obtained by Microfluidics, is proposed and validated for theranostics and multimodal imaging applications. A coupled Hydrodynamic Flow Focusing (cHFF) is exploited to control the time scales of solvent exchange and the coupling of the polymer nanoprecipitation with the lipid self-assembly simultaneously, guiding the formation of Lipid–Polymer NPs (LiPoNs). This hybrid lipid–polymeric tool is made up of core–shell structure, where a polymeric chitosan core is enveloped in a lipid bilayer, capable of co-encapsulating simultaneously Gd-DTPA and Irinotecan/Atto 633 compounds. As a result, a monodisperse population of hybrid NPs with an average size of 77 nm, with preserved structural integrity in different environmental conditions and high biocompatibility, can be used for MRI and Optical applications. Furthermore, preliminary results show the enhanced delivery and therapeutic efficacy of Irinotecan-loaded hybrid formulation against U87 MG cancers cells.

Liposome-Polymer Complex for Drug Delivery System and Vaccine Stabilization. Heliyon 2022; 8:e08934.

Abstract
Liposomes have been used extensively as micro- and nanocarriers for hydrophobic or hydrophilic molecules. However, conventional liposomes are biodegradable and quickly eliminated, making it difficult to be used for delivery in specific routes, such as the oral and systemic routes. One way to overcome this problem is through complexation with polymers, which is referred to as a liposome complex. The use of polymers can increase the stability of liposome with regard to pH, chemicals, enzymes, and the immune system. In some cases, specific polymers can condition the properties of liposomes to be explicitly used in drug delivery, such as targeted delivery and controlled release. These properties are influenced by the type of polymer, crosslinker, interaction, and bond in the complexation process. Therefore, it is crucial to study and review these parameters for the development of more optimal forms and properties of the liposome complex. This article discusses the use of natural and synthetic polymers, ways of interaction between polymers and liposomes (on the surface, incorporation in lamellar chains, and within liposomes), types of bonds, evaluation standards, and their effects on the stability and pharmacokinetic profile of the liposome complex, drugs, and vaccines. This article concludes that both natural and synthetic polymers can be used in modifying the structure and physicochemical properties of liposomes to specify their use in targeted delivery, controlled release, and stabilizing drugs and vaccines.

Abstract
This work describes the development of an injectable nanocomposite system based on a chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel combined with liposomes for regenerative medicine applications. Liposomes with good physicochemical properties are prepared and embedded within the chitosan network. The resulting nanocomposite hydrogel is able to provide a controlled release of the content from liposomes, which are able to interact with cells and be internalized. The cellular uptake is enhanced by the presence of a chitosan coating, and cells incubated with liposomes embedded within thermosensitive hydrogels displayed a higher cell uptake compared to cells incubated with liposomes alone. Furthermore, the gelation temperature of the system resulted to be equal to 32.6 °C; thus, the system can be easily injected in the target site to form a hydrogel at physiological temperature. Given the peculiar performance of the selected systems, the resulting thermosensitive hydrogels are a versatile platform and display potential applications as controlled delivery systems of liposomes for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to introduce an inspiring biomimetic system based on the red blood cell membrane (RBCM) vesicles for improved encapsulation efficiency and release of curcumin (Cur). Here, the role of the sonication time (0.5, 1.5, 3 and 5 min) on the properties of RBCM-CUR vesicles is investigated. It is determined that the hydrodynamic vesicle size, zeta potential, and release behavior are tunable by changing the sonication time. Noticeably, the average size of vesicles decreased from 163.0 ± 21 nm to 116.3 ± 16 nm by increasing the sonication time from 0.5 to 5 min. Moreover, the drug release value, after 24 h incubation, enhances from 57 to 99% with the expansion of sonication from 0.5 to 5 min. Additionally, the entrapment efficiency of Cur as a model drug is high in whole sonication time, owing to the amphiphilic nature of RBCM. Finally, the RBCM-CUR vesicles are not only cytocompatible, but also could support the attachment and proliferation of fibroblast cells in vitro. The RBCM based system for delivery of Cur could be a promising system for the wound healing applications.

Abstract
Encapsulating hydrolysates in liposomes can be an effective way to improve their stability and bioactivity. In this study, Spirulina hydrolysate was successfully encapsulated into nanoliposomes composed of different stabilizers (cholesterol or γ-oryzanol), and the synthesized liposomes were finally coated with chitosan biopolymer. The synthesized formulations were fully characterized and their antioxidant activity evaluated using different methods. Then, stabilization of coated nanoliposomes (chitosomes) by spray-drying within the maltodextrin matrix was investigated. A small mean diameter and homogeneous size distribution with high encapsulation efficiency were found in all the formulations, while liposomes stabilized with γ-oryzanol and coated with chitosan showed the highest physical stability over time and preserved approximately 90% of their initial antioxidant capacity. Spray-dried powder could preserve all characteristics of peptide-loaded chitosomes. Thus, spray-dried hydrolysate-containing chitosomes could be considered as a functional food ingredient for the human diet.

Abstract
Background and purpose Ursolic acid (UA) exhibits anti-hepatocarcinoma and hepatoprotective activities, thus promising as an effective oral cancer therapy. However, its poor solubility and permeability lead to low oral bioavailability. In this study, we evaluated the effect of different ratios of Span® 60-cholesterol-UA and also chitosan addition on physical characteristics and stability of niosomes to improve oral biodistribution. Experimental approach UA niosomes (Nio-UA) were composed of Span® 60-cholesterol-UA at different molar ratios and prepared by using thin layer hydration method, and then chitosan solution was added into the Nio-UA to prepare Nio-CS-UA. Findings/Results The results showed that increasing the UA amount increased the particle size of Nio-UA. However, the higher the UA amount added to niosomes, the lower the encapsulation efficiency. The highest physical stability was achieved by preparing niosomes at a molar ratio of 3:2:10 for Span® 60, cholesterol, and UA, respectively, with a zeta-potential value of -41.99 mV. The addition of chitosan increased the particle size from 255 nm to 439 nm, as well as the zeta-potential value which increased from -46 mV to -21 mV. Moreover, Nio-UA-CS had relatively higher drug release in PBS pH 6.8 and 7.4 than Nio-UA. In the in vivo study, the addition of chitosan produced higher intensities of coumarin-6-labeled Nio-UA-CS in the liver than Nio-UA. Conclusion and implications It can be concluded that the ratio of Span® 60-cholesterol-UA highly affected niosomes physical properties. Moreover, the addition of chitosan improved the stability and drug release as well as oral biodistribution of Nio-UA.

Abstract
The present work was conducted to develop a new polysaccharide-based encapsulation system via electrostatic interactions between Prunus armeniaca gum exudates (PAGE) and Ca2+ ions to enhance the biological activity and bioavailability of curcumin. The effects of different levels of pH (6, 7, and 8) and ion concentrations (1, 3, and 5) on the particle diameter and surface charge of the samples were examined. The encapsulation efficiency in the PAGE-based nanoparticles was realized to be 86.1%, indicating the encapsulation technique applied in this study was effective to entrap most of the curcumin within the PAGE matrix. The nanoparticles showed a smooth surface with spherical shape. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (X-ray) studies confirmed the formation of polyelectrolyte complexation. The cumulative release of curcumin in simulated gastrointestinal tract was less than 75%, revealing a gradual release trend. Both pure curcumin and curcumin-loaded nanoparticles were toxic to the cancer cell lines.
