Microencapsulation of Capsaicin in Chitosan Microcapsules: Characterization, Release Behavior, and Pesticidal Properties against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). INSECTS 2022; 14:27. [PMID: 36661955 PMCID: PMC9864733 DOI: 10.3390/insects14010027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Capsaicin is a capsaicinoid in hot chili peppers, with excellent antibacterial and antimicrobial activities and a good safety profile, but its poor solubility and instability restrict its effectiveness. This limitation may be mitigated by encapsulation. Herein, capsaicin microcapsules (CCMs) were prepared through layer-by-layer self-assembly, using chitosan and carboxymethyl chitosan as shell materials. The chemical and microstructure structural characterization was evaluated by the methods of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM indicated the microcapsules were irregular in shape with an average size of about 100 μm. The encapsulation had a high loading efficiency of 64.31%. FTIR and XRD revealed the absence of the interaction between the core and shell materials and the amorphous nature of the CCMs. The analysis results of the microcapsules' release behavior showed the burst release of capsaicin in 7 days and a slow progression afterward in three solutions, with the highest release properties in a basic solution, followed by acidic and neutral salt solutions. The entomotoxicity of CCMs was conducted against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), and its efficacy was compared with pure capsaicin. The CCMs were found to be highly effective against this pest. The LC50 value for capsaicin and its microcapsules was 31.37 and 29.75 mg/kg on adults, respectively. According to these values, T. castaneum's development and reproduction were significantly inhibited compared with the control group. The excellent physicochemical characteristics and insecticidal performance show a high application value for integrated pest control.

Abstract
It is well known that the difficulty of siRNA therapeutic application is the lack of safe and effective delivery vector. Virosome is a nano vesicle composed of lipid membrane and membrane protein. It retains fusion protein without virus genetic material, and therefore has the reduced immunogenicity compared with viral vector. Virosomes have the potential to deliver protein and nucleic acid drugs, but the traditional preparation method of virosomes is quite limited. In this study, we firstly proposed to synthesize influenza virus hemagglutinin HA2 virosomes by cell-free protein synthesis. In this study, liposomes provided the hydrophobic lipid bilayer environment for the formation of HA2 protein multimer, which inhibited the aggregation of hydrophobic HA2 and improved HA2 protein expression. Chitosan as a rigid core adsorbed siRNA and improved the encapsulation efficiency of siRNA. In conclusion, the cell-free protein synthesis was used to prepare HA2 virosomes, which paves the way for constructing a novel nano vector with high delivery efficiency and biosafety for the delivery of siRNA.

Abstract
Biopolymers are renowned for their sustainable, biodegradable, biocompatible and most of them have antitoxic characteristics. These versatile naturally derived compounds include proteins, polynucleotides (RNA and DNA) and polysaccharides. Cellulose and chitosan are the most abundant polysaccharides. Proteins and polysaccharides have been applied as emulsifiers. Additional applications of proteins and polysaccharides include cosmetics, food and wastewater treatment for adsorption of dyes and pesticides. However, more interesting applications of biopolymers are emerging, such as use in transport systems for delivery of plant derived nutraceuticals to sites of inflammation, due to its inherent ability to immobilize different biological and chemical systems. This review aims to give a summary on new trends and complement what is already known in the development of polysaccharides and proteins as adsorbents of nutraceutical compounds. The application of polysaccharides/protein containing the adsorbed Solanum derived nutraceutical compounds for drug deliveryis also reviewed.

Abstract
The present study was focused on investigation of electrokinetic behaviour of lecithin-stabilized oil/water emulsions in the presence of chitosan oligosaccharides (COS). The oligosaccharides give unique opportunity for precisely characterization of the properties of chitosan as a function of the degree of acetylation (DA) and degree of polymerization (DP) of the polymer. For the study were chosen well characterized ultra pure COS molecules with completely acetylated monomers and mixture of COS molecules with acetylated and deacetylated monomers. The obtained results confirmed experimentally for the first time, the suggestion for the predominant contribution of hydrophobic (at high DA) and electrostatic (at low DA) interactions between chitosan monomers and the lecithin-covered droplet surface.

Abstract
Liposomes are small artificial vesicles spherical shaped of 50-1000 nm in diameter. They are created from natural non-toxic phospholipids membranes. Externally, they are decorated with biocompatible polymers. Chitosan, a natural polymer, demonstrates exceptional advantages in drug delivery, in particular, as liposome cover. In this paper, Molecular Dynamics simulations (MD) are performed in the coupled NPT-NPH and NVT-NVE statistical ensembles to study the static and dynamic properties of DPPC membrane-bilayer with grafted cationic chitosan chains, with added Cl- anions to neutralize the environment, using the Martini coarse-grained force-field. From the NPT-NPH MD simulations we found a chitosan layer L DM ranging from 3.2 to 6.6 nm for graft chains of a degree of polymerization n p = 45 and different grafting molar fractions X p = 0.005, X p = 0.014 and X p = 0.1. Also, the chitosan chains showed three essential grafting regimes: mushroom, critic, and brush depending on X p. The DPPC bilayer thickness D B and the area per lipid A l increased proportionally to X p. From the NVT-NVE MD simulations, the analysis of the radial distribution function showed that the increase of X p gives a more close-packed and rigid liposome. The analysis of the mean square displacement revealed that the diffusion of lipids is anomalous. In contrast, the diffusion of chitosan chains showed a normal diffusion, just after 100 ps. The diffusion regime of ions is found to be normal and independent of time. For the three identified regimes, the chitosan showed a tendency to adhere to the membrane surface and therefore affect the properties of the liposomal membrane.

Abstract
With the development of nanotechnology, self-assembled chitosan/phospholipid nanoparticles (SACPNs) show great promise in a broad range of applications, including therapy, diagnosis, in suit imaging and on-demand drug delivery. Here, a brief review of the SACPNs is presented, and its critical underlying formation mechanisms are interpreted with an emphasis on the intrinsic physicochemical properties. The state-of-art preparation methods of SACPNs are summarized, with particular descriptions about the classic solvent injection method. Then SACPNs microstructures are characterized, revealing the unique spherical core-shell structure and the drug release mechanisms. Afterwards, a comprehensive and in-depth depiction of their emerging applications, with special attention to drug delivery areas, are categorized and reviewed. Finally, conclusions and outlooks on further advancing the SACPNs toward a more powerful and versatile platform for investigations covering from fundamental understanding to developing multi-functional drug delivery systems are discussed.

Abstract
Steering drug-loaded, site-specific, coated lipid vesicles to the target receptor sites have the potential of plummeting adverse effects and improving the pharmacological response in diverse pathologies of the large bowel, especially the colon. Colonic delivery via oral route has its own challenges, often governed by several glitches such as drug degradation or absorption in the upper GIT, instability of proteins/peptides due to high molecular weight, and peptidase activity in the stomach. Consequently, colon-specific coated liposomal systems (CSLS) offer a potential alternate for not only site-specificity, but protection from proteolytic activity, and prolonged residence time for greater systemic bioavailability. On the other hand, liposomal delivery via the oral route is also cumbersome owing to several barriers such as instability in GIT, difficulty in crossing membranes, and issues related to production at the pilot scale. New advancements in the field of CSLS have successfully improved the stability and permeability of liposomes for oral delivery via modulating the compositions of lipid bilayers, adding polymers or ligands. Despite this ostensible propitiousness, no commercial oral CSLS has advanced from bench to bedside for targeted delivery to the colon as yet. Nevertheless, CSLS has quite fascinated the manufacturers owing to its potential industrial viability, simplistic and low-cost design. Hence, this review aims to decipher the convolutions involved in the engineering process of industrially viable CSLS for colonic delivery.
