[PMID: 38623436 PMCID: PMC11016035 DOI: 10.1007/s10068-023-01461-4] [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: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Attempts to improve low absorption and rapid metabolic conversion of curcumin were made by developing curcumin-loaded bilayer nanoliposomes coated with chitosan and alginate for intestinal-specific drug delivery. A curcumin-loaded nano-liposome was prepared with optimized formulations with phosphatidylcholine, curcumin, chitosan, and alginate. The particle size of the optimized formulation was approximately 400 nm, and the encapsulation efficiency was more than 99%. In the in vitro release study, curcumin release from the curcumin-loaded nanoliposome with double layers of chitosan/alginate (CNL-CH/AL) was suppressed in the simulated gastric fluid (SGF, pH 1.2) and enhanced in the simulated intestinal fluid (SIF, pH 6.8). In the in vivo pharmacokinetic study in rats, the CNL-CH/AL-treated group showed a prolonged absorption pattern of curcumin and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0-24) was improved 109-fold compared to the control group treated with a curcumin solution without a nanocarrier.

Abstract
Oral drug administration has been a popular choice due to patient compliance and limited clinical resources. Orally delivered drugs must circumvent the harsh gastrointestinal (GI) environment to effectively enter the systemic circulation. The GI tract has a number of structural and physiological barriers that limit drug bioavailability including mucus, the tightly regulated epithelial layer, immune cells, and associated vasculature. Nanoparticles have been used to enhance oral bioavailability of drugs, as they can act as a shield to the harsh GI environment and prevent early degradation while also increasing uptake and transport of drugs across the intestinal epithelium. Evidence suggests that different nanoparticle formulations may be transported via different intracellular mechanisms to cross the intestinal epithelium. Despite the existence of a significant body of work on intestinal transport of nanoparticles, many key questions remain: What causes the poor bioavailability of the oral drugs? What factors contribute to the ability of a nanoparticle to cross different intestinal barriers? Do nanoparticle properties such as size and charge influence the type of endocytic pathways taken? In this Review, we summarize the different components of intestinal barriers and the types of nanoparticles developed for oral delivery. In particular, we focus on the various intracellular pathways used in nanoparticle internalization and nanoparticle or cargo translocation across the epithelium. Understanding the gut barrier, nanoparticle characteristics, and transport pathways may lead to the development of more therapeutically useful nanoparticles as drug carriers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The specific role of testosterone (T) replacement therapy in patients with late onset hypogonadism is still conflicting. Several available preparations have been developed to restore either fertility and normal testosterone (T) levels (secondary hypogonadism) or just T levels (primary hypogonadism). AREAS COVERED Advantages and limitations related to available new treatments will be discussed in detail. In addition, possible news related to preparations in the pipeline will be discussed. EXPERT OPINION The selection of a specific T preparation should be adequately discussed with each subject. Transdermal T preparations are those that can preserve, after a unique morning administration, the circadian rhythmicity of T secretion. Conversely, short-acting preparations (such as oral or intranasal) need two- or three-times daily administration, potentially reducing patient compliance. Long acting T preparations, such as injectable T undecanoate have the advantage of bimestrial or trimestral administration, reducing the required number of administrations. The use of non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM), a heterogeneous class of compounds selectively acting on androgen receptor targets, remains investigational due to the lack of the full spectrum of T's action and the possible risk of side effects, despite their potential use in the treatment of muscle wasting and osteoporosis.

Abstract
Lipid drug conjugates (LDCs) have attracted considerable attention in the fields of drug delivery and pharmacology due to their ability to target specific cells, increase drug solubility, reduce toxicity, and improve therapeutic efficacy. These unique features make LDCs promising candidates for the treatment cancer, inflammation, and infectious diseases. In fact, by choosing specific linkers between the lipid and drug molecules, stimuli-responsive LDCs can be designed to target cancer cells based on the unique properties of the tumor microenvironment. Despite the fact that many reviews have described LDCs, few articles have focused on tumor microenvironmental stimuli-responsive LDCs for cancer treatment. Therefore, the key elements of these types of LDCs in cancer treatment will be outlined and discussed in this paper. Our paper goes into detail on the concepts and benefits of LDCs, the various types of tumor microenvironment stimuli-responsive LDCs (such as pH, redox, enzyme, or reactive oxygen species-responsive LDCs), and the current status of LDCs in clinical trials.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare piperine (PIP) loaded liposomes in hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel to provide a hybrid superstructure for postoperative adhesion prevention. Liposomes were prepared using thin-film hydration method. The optimised formulation was characterised by size, SEM, TEM, FTIR, encapsulation efficiency (EE)% (w/w), and release pattern. Liposome-in-hydrogel formulation was investigated by rheology, SEM, and release studies. The efficacy was evaluated in a rat peritoneal abrasion model. EE% (w/w) increased with increasing lipid concentration from 10 to 30; however, a higher percentage of Chol reduced EE% (w/w). The optimised liposome (EE: 68.10 ± 4.18% (w/w), average diameter: 513 ± 14.67 nm, PDI: 0.15 ± 0.04) was used for hydrogel embedding. No sign of adhesion in 5/8 rats and no collagen deposition confirmed the in vivo effectiveness of the optimised formulation. Overall, providing a sustained delivery of PIP, the developed liposome-in-hydrogel formulation can be a promising carrier to prevent postoperative adhesion.

Abstract
Thanks to specific physico-chemical properties, drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles have proven to effectively transport delicate molecules for therapeutic purposes, protecting them from degradation, increasing their stability in the blood circulation and allowing to convey and release the transported substances in specific areas of the body. Nanoparticles obtained from biopolymers for applications in medicine and pharmaceutics have become particularly popular in recent years due to the enormous research effort in the field of vaccines to respond to the pandemic emergency. Among the various types of biopolymers used to produce nanoparticles for therapeutics, lipids have characteristics that make them biocompatible, with low toxicity and ease of clearance. They can be synthesized by designing their characteristics according to the foreseen administration path, or to the target of the transported drug. The analytical methods mostly used to evaluate the characteristics of lipid nanosytems for drug delivery involve studying their effects on cells, in vitro and in vivo. Although it is often considered a "niche technique" for research in the bio-related sciences, Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) is a versatile tool to study the structure of nanosystems based on lipids, both ex situ and in situ. Therefore, it allows to evaluate both the effect of the different synthesis parameters and of the exposure of lipid nanoparticles to physiological conditions, which is of fundamental importance to design efficient drug delivery systems. In this mini-review, we will report some recent examples of characterization and design of nanoparticles based on lipids, where SAXS has been a fundamental step both to guide the synthesis of nanomaterials with tailored characteristics, and to understand the interaction between nanomaterials and cells.

Abstract
Introduction In the previous study, nanoparticles coated with trimethyl chitosan (TMC) derivatives (PPTT-NPs) could promote the oral bioavailability of panax notoginseng saponins (PNS). Herein, we chose PPTT-NPs as a model drug to study the property and mechanism of intestinal absorption in vitro and in vivo. Methods The stability of PPTT-NPs was evaluated using simulated gastric fluid and simulated intestinal fluid. The uptake and transport of PPTT-NPs were investigated in Caco-2 and Caco-2&HT29 co-culture cells. The biosafety, intestinal permeability, adhesion, and absorption mechanism of PPTT-NPs were investigated using SD rats in vivo. The live imaging and biodistribution of PPTT-NPs were observed by IVIS. Furthermore, the effects on CYP3A4 of PPTT-NPs were investigated using testosterone as the probe substrate. Results The results of the stability assay showed that PPTT-NPs had a strong tolerance to the pH and digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal environment. In vitro cell experiments showed that the uptake of drugs exhibited a time-dependent. When the ratio of TMC-VB12 and TMC-Cys was 1:3, the uptake capacity of PPTT-NPs was the highest. PPTT-NPs could enhance the paracellular transport of drugs by reversibly opening a tight junction. Animal experiments demonstrated that PPTT-NPs have good biological safety. PPTT-NPs had good adhesion and permeability to small intestinal mucosa. Meanwhile, PPTT-NPs needed energy and various protein to participate in the uptake of drugs. The live imaging of NPs illustrated that PPTT-NPs could prolong the residence time in the intestine. Moreover, TMC-VB12 and TMC-Cys could reduce the metabolism of drugs by inhibiting CYP3A4 to a certain extent. Conclusion The results show that TMC-VB12 and TMC-Cys are effective in the transport of PPTT-NPs. PPTT-NPs can increase the intestinal adhesion of drugs and exert high permeation by intestinal enterocytes which demonstrate significant and efficient potential for oral delivery of the BCS III drugs.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease, is prevalent in 98 countries with the occurrence of 1.3 million new cases annually. The conventional therapy for visceral leishmaniasis requires hospitalization due to the severe adverse effects of the drugs, which are administered parenterally. Buparvaquone (BPQ) showed in vitro activity against leishmania parasites; nevertheless, it has failed in vivo tests due to its low aqueous solubility. Though, lipid nanoparticles can overcome this holdback. In this study we tested the hypothesis whether BPQ-NLC shows in vivo activity against L. infantum. Two optimized formulations were prepared (V1: 173.9 ± 1.6 nm, 0.5 mg of BPQ/mL; V2: 232.4 ± 1.6 nm, 1.3 mg of BPQ/mL), both showed increased solubility up to 73.00-fold, and dissolution up to 83.29%, while for the free drug it was only 2.89%. Cytotoxicity test showed their biocompatibility (CC50 >554.4 µM). Besides, the V1 dose of 0.3 mg/kg/day for 10 days reduced the parasite burden in 83.4% ±18.2% (p <0.05) in the liver. BPQ-NLC showed similar leishmanicidal activity compared to miltefosine. Therefore, BPQ-NLC is a promising addition to the limited therapeutic arsenal suitable for leishmaniasis oral administration treatment.

Abstract
Ibuprofen is a well-known non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medicine that is often used to treat inflammation in general. When given orally, it produces gastrointestinal issues which lead to lower patient compliance. Ibuprofen transdermal administration improves both patient compliance and the efficacy of the drug. Nanoconjugation hydrogels were proposed as a controlled transdermal delivery tool for ibuprofen. Six formulations were prepared using different compositions including chitosan, lipids, gum arabic, and polyvinyl alcohol, through ionic interaction, maturation, and freeze–thaw methods. The formulations were characterised by size, drug conjugation efficiency, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Further analysis of optimised hydrogels was performed, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), rheology, gel fraction and swelling ability, in vitro drug release, and in vitro macrophage prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production testing. The effects of ibuprofen’s electrostatic interaction with a lipid or polymer on the physicochemical and dissolution characterisation of ibuprofen hydrogels were evaluated. The results showed that the S3 (with lipid conjugation) hydrogel provided higher conjugation efficiency and prolonged drug release compared with the S6 hydrogel.

Abstract
Orally administered drug entities have to survive the harsh gastrointestinal environment, penetrate the enteric epithelia and circumvent hepatic metabolism before reaching the systemic circulation. Whereas the gastrointestinal stability can be well maintained by taking proper measures, hepatic metabolism presents as a formidable barrier to drugs suffering from first-pass metabolism. The pharmaceutical academia and industries are seeking alternative pathways for drug transport to circumvent problems associated with the portal pathway. Intestinal lymphatic transport is emerging as a promising pathway to this end. In this review, we intend to provide an updated overview on the rationale, strategies, factors and applications involved in intestinal lymphatic transport. There are mainly two pathways for peroral lymphatic transport-the chylomicron and the microfold cell pathways. The underlying mechanisms are being unraveled gradually and nowadays witness increasing research input and applications.

Abstract
Rational designed lipid-drug derivatives provide a favorable approach to improve the druggability of highly hydrophobic prototypes. It has been regarded as common sense that good cytotoxicity is the guarantee of superior anticancer efficacy for candidate derivatives screening. However, does it apply to lipid-drug conjugate-based self-assembled nanoparticles? Here, we established the above two derivatives and a non-correlation between the cytotoxic activity in vitro and drug efficacy in vivo was found. The IC50 of DSL NPs (DTX-S-LA nanoparticles) and DL NPs (DTX-LA nanoparticles) were 4.02 and 209.6 ng/mL (DTX equivalent concentration), respectively. However, DL NPs unexpectedly showed stronger tumor inhibition abilities than DSL NPs. To explain the non-positive correlation between cytotoxicity and anticancer efficacy, more experiments were carried out in depth. Remarkably, the drug release studies in blood and PK study both suggested that the DL NPs were more stable to remain the structural integrity in circulation, which resulted in more accumulation in tumor sites. As verified by the bio-distribution study, DL NPs performed a superior target effect than DSL NPs in tumors. Our data indicated that the biological fates of so-called smart bond inserted derivatives in vivo are complicated; thus, simple cytotoxicity is not enough for derivatives screening, and the comprehensive understanding of both in vitro and in vivo behaviors is essential.

Abstract
Introduction: All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA, tretinoin) is the main drug used in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Despite its impressive activity against APL, the same could not be clinically observed in other types of cancer. Nanotechnology can be a tool to enhance ATRA anticancer efficacy and resolve its drawbacks in APL as well as in other malignancies.Areas covered: This review covers ATRA use in APL and non-APL cancers, the problems that were found in ATRA therapy and how nanoencapsulation can aid to circumvent them. Pre-clinical results obtained with nanoencapsulated ATRA are shown as well as the two ATRA products based on nanotechnology that were clinically tested: ATRA-IV® and Apealea®.Expert opinion: ATRA presents interesting properties to be used in anticancer therapy with a notorious differentiation and antimetastatic activity. Bioavailability and resistance limitations impair the use of ATRA in non-APL cancers. Nanotechnology can circumvent these issues and provide tools to enhance its anticancer activities, such as co-loading of multiple drug and active targeting to tumor site.

Abstract
Amphotericin B (AmB) is gold standard therapy for leishmaniasis and fungal infections. Considering the global disease burden, nearly 90% of cases occur in economically vulnerable countries, making the cost of AmB therapy a critical healthcare challenge in controlling disease burden. All currently marketed AmB products are administered through an intravenous (i.v.) route and involve high treatment costs. Designing an orally effective AmB formulation can substantially reduce the cost of therapy and improve patient compliance. However, it is a challenging task because of the distinctive physicochemical properties of AmB. Previously, we developed a lipid-based prodrug of AmB, AmB-oleyl conjugate (AmB-OA), which showcased remarkable stability in the gastrointestinal (GI) environment and improved intestinal permeation. Hereby, we have developed self-nanoemulsifiying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) of AmB-OA to further enhance the oral bioavailability of AmB and potentiate its therapeutic benefits. SNEDDS was developed by screening a wide range of oils, surfactants, and cosurfactants, and formulation composition was optimized using extreme vertices design. AmB-OA SNEDDS possessed the ability of quick self-nanoemulsification on dilution (droplet size ∼56 nm) along with remarkable stability in the GI environment. Accelerated stability (40 °C/75% relative humidity) studies and freeze-thaw cycling studies proved that the formulation was stable at tropical conditions as well as temperature cycling stress. Drug transport analysis in Caco-2 cells revealed a remarkable increase in drug transport for AmB-OA SNEDDS compared to AmB along with minimal cellular toxicities. AmB-OA SNEDDS showcased ∼8.9-fold higher AUCTot than AmB in in vivo pharmacokinetic study, proving the effectiveness of formulation to enhance oral bioavailability. In vivo toxicity analysis highlighted the ameliorated toxicity risk associated with SNEDDS formulation. Therefore, the AmB-OA SNEDDS formulation may provide a cost-friendly and effective strategy to resolve the oral AmB drug delivery challenge.

Abstract
Though modern available cancer therapies are effective, they possess major adverse effects, causing non-compliance to patients. Furthermore, the majority of the polymeric-based medication platforms are certainly not universally acceptable, due to their several restrictions. With this juxtaposition, lipid-based medication delivery systems have appeared as promising drug nanocarriers to replace the majority of the polymer-based products because they are in a position to reverse polymer as well as, drug-associated restrictions. Furthermore, the amalgamation of the basic principle of nanotechnology in designing lipid nanocarriers, which are the latest form of lipid carriers, has tremendous chemotherapeutic possibilities as tumor-targeted drug-delivery pertaining to tumor therapy. Apart from this, it is reported that nearly 40% of the modern medication entities are lipophilic. Moreover, research continues to be efficient in attaining a significant understanding of the absorption and bioavailability of the developed lipids systems.

Abstract
Many drug molecules that are currently in the market suffer from short half-life, poor absorption, low specificity, rapid degradation, and resistance development. The design and development of lipophilic prodrugs can provide numerous benefits to overcome these challenges. Fatty acids (FAs), which are lipophilic biomolecules constituted of essential components of the living cells, carry out many necessary functions required for the development of efficient prodrugs. Chemical conjugation of FAs to drug molecules may change their pharmacodynamics/pharmacokinetics in vivo and even their toxicity profile. Well-designed FA-based prodrugs can also present other benefits, such as improved oral bioavailability, promoted tumor targeting efficiency, controlled drug release, and enhanced cellular penetration, leading to improved therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we discuss diverse drug molecules conjugated to various unsaturated FAs. Furthermore, various drug-FA conjugates loaded into various nanostructure delivery systems, including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, emulsions, nano-assemblies, micelles, and polymeric nanoparticles, are reviewed. The present review aims to inspire readers to explore new avenues in prodrug design based on the various FAs with or without nanostructured delivery systems.
