Lamch Ł, Szukiewicz R. Entrapment of Amphipathic Drugs in Core-Shell Polymeric Nanoparticles under Batch Conditions─The Role of Control and Solubility Parameters. LANGMUIR : THE ACS JOURNAL OF SURFACES AND COLLOIDS 2024; 40:21186-21198. [PMID: 39316727 PMCID: PMC11465662 DOI: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c02721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2024] [Revised: 09/09/2024] [Accepted: 09/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/26/2024]
Abstract
The amphipathic bioactive compounds curcumin, resveratrol, and mitomycin C, which have similar solubility parameter component distributions, have been studied for encapsulation under batch conditions into core-shell nanocarriers composed of external hydrophobically functionalized polyelectrolytes and an inner matrix of polyesters or polyester blends: poly(l-lactide), poly(lactide-co-glycolide), and/or poly(ethylene succinate). Our contribution comprises determining the influence of process parameters on the properties and quality of the final products, namely core-shell nanoparticles loaded with appropriate drugs, according to process analysis technologymanagement. The crucial roles of the organic phase dosing rates and process temperatures were carefully investigated. Moreover, a technically feasible method of removing organic solvents from aqueous dispersions─stripping with inert gas─was employed and evaluated via FT-IR studies. The experiments were supported by the calculation and analysis of solubility parameters (δ) and dispersion (δd), polar (δp), and hydrogen bond (δh) components utilizing HSPiP software. The payload locus and sample morphology were studied via atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses with Ar+ sputtering. It was demonstrated that dosing rates of organic phases not exceeding ca. 0.5 mL/min per 1 L of aqueous dispersion of hydrophobically functionalized polyelectrolytes made it possible to obtain core-shell nanoparticles of ca. 100-150 nm with a very narrow polydispersity (PdI < 0.2). The locus of amphipathic payloads in nanocarriers, mostly within the core polymeric structure, was in good agreement with the results of solubility parameter component studies: water-insoluble polyesters with both polar and nonpolar interactions between chains serve as good host materials for amphipathic drugs.

[PMID: 38244747 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129535] [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: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
Microbeads are used in personal care and cosmetic products (PCCPs) but are produced from nondegradable materials. Biodegradable polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) has been recognized as a promising alternative material for use in PCCPs; however, utilizing PHB to encapsulate PCCPs is challenging because PCCPs need to be protected from the environment but their release needs to be permitted under specific physiological conditions. The aim of this work was to develop and evaluate pH-responsive cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) to formulate lipophilic α-tocopherol acetate (α-TA)-loaded pH-responsive PHB/CAP microbeads. The influences of the PHB/CAP ratio and initial α-TA loading on the microbead size, surface morphology, encapsulation efficiency (%EE), loading capacity (%LC), and α-TA release profile were studied. The microbeads exhibited a spherical shape with a size of 328.7 ± 2.9 μm. The EE and LC were 86.7 ± 2.6 % and 13.5 ± 0.4 %, respectively. The release profile exhibited pH-responsive characteristics. These α-TA-loaded pH-responsive microbeads were stable with >50 % of the α-TA remaining after 90 days at 4, 25 and 45 °C in the dark. The results from the cytotoxicity assay with PSVK1 cells demonstrated that the microbeads were nontoxic. Hence, our developed formulation has the potential to be used to encapsulate oil-based drugs to formulate lipophilic substance-loaded pH-responsive microbeads.

Abstract
Encapsulating drugs into functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) is an alternative to reach the specific therapeutic target with lower doses. However, when the NPs are in contact with physiological media, proteins adsorb on their surfaces, forming a protein corona (PC) biomolecular layer, acquiring a distinct biological identity that alters their interactions with cells. Itraconazole (ITZ), an antifungal agent, is encapsulated into PEGylated and/or functionalized NPs with high specificity for macrophages. It is evaluated how the PC impacts their cell uptake and antifungal effect. The minimum inhibitory concentration and colony-forming unit assays demonstrate that encapsulated ITZ into poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) NPs improves the antifungal effect compared with NPs lacking PEGylation. The improvement can be related to the synergistic effect of the encapsulated ITZ and NPs composition and the reduction of PC formation in PEG NPs. Functionalized NPs with anti-F4/80 and anti-MARCO antibodies, or mannose without PEG and treated with PC, show an improved uptake but, in the presence of PEG, significantly reduce the endocytosis, dominating the stealth effect from PEG. Therefore, the PC plays a crucial role in the nanosystem uptake and antifungal effects, which suggests the need for in vivo model studies to evaluate the effect of PC in the specificity and biodistribution.

Abstract
Pluronics are amphiphilic triblock copolymers composed of two hydrophilic poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) chains linked via a central hydrophobic polypropylene oxide (PPO). Owing to their low molecular weight polymer and greater number of PEO segments, Pluronics induce micelle formation and gelation at critical micelle concentrations and temperatures. Pluronics F-68 and F-127 are the only United States (U.S.) FDA-approved classes of Pluronics and have been extensively used as materials for living bodies. Owing to the fascinating characteristics of Pluronics, many studies have suggested their role in biomedical applications, such as drug delivery systems, tissue regeneration scaffolders, and biosurfactants. As a result, various studies have been performed using Pluronics as a tool in nanomedicine and targeted delivery systems. This review sought to describe the delivery of therapeutic cargos using Pluronic F-68 and F-127-based cancer nanomedicines and their composites for combination therapy.

Abstract
The non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen (KP) as a model molecule is encapsulated in different poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanostructured particles, using Tween20 (TWEEN) and Pluronic F127 (PLUR) as stabilizers to demonstrate the design of a biocompatible colloidal carrier particles with highly controllable drug release feature. Based on TEM images the formation of well-defined core-shell structure is highly favorable using nanoprecipitation method. Stabile polymer-based colloids with ~200-210 nm hydrodynamic diameter can be formed by successful optimization of the KP concentration with the right choice of stabilizer. Encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 14-18% can be achieved. We clearly confirmed that the molecular weight of the stabilizer thus its structure greatly controls the drug release from the PLGA carrier particles. It can be determined that ~20% and ~70% retention is available with the use of PLUR and TWEEN, respectively. This measurable difference can be explained by the fact that the non-ionic PLUR polymer provides a steric stabilization of the carrier particles in the form of a loose shell, while the adsorption of the non-ionic biocompatible TWEEN surfactant results in a more compact and well-ordered shell around the PLGA particles. In addition, the release property can be further tuned by decreasing the hydrophilicity of PLGA by changing the monomer ratio in the range of ~20-60% (PLUR) and 70-90% (TWEEN).

Abstract
The development of optical organic nanoparticles (NPs) is desirable and widely studied. However, most organic dyes are water-insoluble such that the derivatization and modification of these dyes are difficult. Herein, we demonstrated a simple platform for the fabrication of organic NPs designed with emissive properties by loading ten different organic dyes (molar masses of 479.1-1081.7 g/mol) into water-soluble polymer nanosponges composed of poly(styrene-alt-maleic acid) (PSMA). The result showed a substantial improvement over the loading of commercial dyes (3.7-50% loading) while preventing their spontaneous aggregation in aqueous solutions. This packaging strategy includes our newly synthesized organic dyes (> 85% loading) designed for OPVs (242), DSSCs (YI-1, YI-3, YI-8), and OLEDs (ADF-1-3, and DTDPTID) applications. These low-cytotoxicity organic NPs exhibited tunable fluorescence from visible to near-infrared (NIR) emission for cellular imaging and biological tracking in vivo. Moreover, PSMA NPs loaded with designed NIR-dyes were fabricated, and photodynamic therapy with these dye-loaded PSMA NPs for the photolysis of cancer cells was achieved when coupled with 808 nm laser excitation. Indeed, our work demonstrates a facile approach for increasing the biocompatibility and stability of organic dyes by loading them into water-soluble polymer-based carriers, providing a new perspective of organic optoelectronic materials in biomedical theranostic applications.

Abstract
Encapsulation of hydrophilic and amphiphilic drugs in appropriate colloidal carrier systems for sustained release is an emerging problem. In general, hydrophobic bioactive substances tend to accumulate in water-immiscible polymeric domains, and the release process is controlled by their low aqueous solubility and limited diffusion from the nanocarrier matrix. Conversely, hydrophilic/amphiphilic drugs are typically water-soluble and insoluble in numerous polymers. Therefore, a core-shell approach─nanocarriers comprising an internal core and external shell microenvironments of different properties─can be exploited for hydrophilic/amphiphilic drugs. To produce colloidally stable poly(lactic-co-glycolic) (PLGA) nanoparticles for mitomycin C (MMC) delivery and controlled release, a unique class of amphiphilic polymers─hydrophobically functionalized polyelectrolytes─were utilized as shell-forming materials, comprising both stabilization via electrostatic repulsive forces and anchoring to the core via hydrophobic interactions. Undoubtedly, the use of these polymeric building blocks for the core-shell approach contributes to the enhancement of the payload chemical stability and sustained release profiles. The studied nanoparticles were prepared via nanoprecipitation of the PLGA polymer and were dissolved in acetone as a good solvent and in an aqueous solution containing hydrophobically functionalized poly(4-styrenesulfonic-co-maleic acid) and poly(acrylic acid) of differing hydrophilic-lipophilic balance values. The type of the hydrophobically functionalized polyelectrolyte (HF-PE) was crucial for the chemical stability of the payload─derivatives of poly(acrylic acid) were found to cause very rapid degradation (hydrolysis) of MMC, in contrast to poly(4-styrenesulfonic-co-maleic acid). The present contribution allowed us to gain crucial information about novel colloidal nanocarrier systems for MMC delivery, especially in the fields of optimal HF-PE concentrations, appropriate core and shell building materials, and the colloidal and chemical stability of the system.

Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14030637. [PMID: 35336010 PMCID: PMC8954677 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14030637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 03/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a nanoparticle formulation made of poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) for the oral delivery of β-carotene (BC). The hybrid nanoparticles were prepared by the interfacial deposition method, and the physicochemical properties of this formulation were characterized in terms of its morphology, particle size, size distribution, encapsulation efficiency, dissolution, intestinal permeability, and in vivo pharmacokinetics. Our results demonstrated that BC-loaded nanoformulation and PLGA nanoparticles (PNP) significantly enhanced a release 6.1 times higher than BC suspension. The fortification of PVP into PLGA nanoparticles, named PLGA–PVP hybrid nanoparticles (PPNP), significantly reduced the particle size, as well as led to an increase 1.9 times higher in the in vitro release of BC, compared with PNP. For the ex vivo intestinal permeability assessment, PNP and PPNP–K15 significantly enhanced the intestinal permeability by 2.7 and 6.5 times at the jejunum, and 2.3 and 4.5 times at the ileum, when compared with unformulated BC. According to the pharmacokinetic study, the optimized hybrid formulation significantly increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under the curve (AUC0-t), and the oral relative bioavailability showed a five-fold enhancement compared with that of the BC suspension. Our results indicate that the hybrid nanoparticulate delivery system is an efficient strategy for the oral delivery of BC.

Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:112.

Abstract
Designing strategies for an effective transformation of food waste into high-value products is a priority to address environmental sustainability concerns. Coffee silverskin is the major by-product of the coffee roasting industry, being rich in compounds with health benefits. Such composition gives it the potential to be transformed into high-value products. In this study, coffee silverskin extracts were enriched, regarding caffeine and chlorogenic acid contents, by adsorbent column chromatography. The compounds content increased 3.08- and 2.75-fold, respectively, compared to the original extract. The enriched fractions were loaded into nano-phytosomes or cholesterol-incorporated nano-phytosomes (first coating layers) to improve the physiochemical properties and permeation rate. These nano-lipid carriers were also subjected to a secondary coating with different natural polymers to improve protection and stability against degradation. In parallel, and for comparison, different natural polymers were also used as first coating layers. The produced particles were evaluated regarding product yield, encapsulation efficiency, loading capacity, particle size, surface charge, and in vitro release simulating gastrointestinal conditions. All samples exhibited anionic surface charge. FTIR and molecular docking confirmed interactions between the phytoconstituents and lipid bilayers. The best docking score was observed for 5-caffeoylquinic acid (chlorogenic acid) exhibiting a stronger hydrogen binding to the lipid bilayer. Among several kinetic models tested, the particle release mechanism fitted well with the First-order, Korsmeyer-Peppas, and Higuchi models. Moreover, most of the formulated particles followed the diffusion-Fick law and anomalous transport.

Abstract
Core-shell particles are very well known for their unique features. Their distinctive inner core and outer shell structure allowed promising biomedical applications at both nanometer and micrometer scales. The primary role of core-shell particles is to deliver the loaded drugs as they are capable of sequence-controlled release and provide protection of drugs. Among other biomedical polymers, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), a food and drug administration (FDA)-approved polymer, has been recognized for the vehicle material. This review introduces PLGA core-shell nano/microparticles and summarizes various drug-delivery systems based on these particles for cancer therapy and tissue regeneration. Tissue regeneration mainly includes bone, cartilage, and periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
In this work, we firstly presented a simple encapsulation method to prepare thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B1)-loaded asolectin-based liposomes with average hydrodynamic diameter of ca. 225 and 245 nm under physiological and acidic conditions, respectively. In addition to the optimization of the sonication and magnetic stirring times used for size regulation, the effect of the concentrations of both asolectin carrier and initial vitamin B1 on the entrapment efficiency (EE %) was also investigated. Thermoanalytical measurements clearly demonstrated that after the successful encapsulation, only weak interactions were discovered between the carriers and the drug molecules. Moreover, the dissolution profiles under physiological (pH = 7.40) and gastric conditions (pH = 1.50) were also registered and the release profiles of our liposomal B1 system were compared with the dissolution profile of the pure drug solution and a manufactured tablet containing thiamin hydrochloride as active ingredient. The release curves were evaluated by nonlinear fitting of six different kinetic models. The best goodness of fit, where the correlation coefficients in the case of all three systems were larger than 0.98, was reached by application of the well-known second-order kinetic model. Based on the evaluation, it was estimated that our liposomal nanocarrier system shows 4.5-fold and 1.5-fold larger drug retention compared to the unpackaged vitamin B1 under physiological conditions and in artificial gastric juice, respectively.

Abstract
Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is the most widely available commercial bioplastic that is used in various medical and packaging applications and three-dimensional filaments. However, because neat PLA is brittle, it conventionally has been blended with ductile polymers and plasticizers. In this study, PLA was blended with the high-ductility biopolymer poly (butylene-sebacate–co–terephthalate) (PBSeT), and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) was applied as a crosslinking compatibilizer to increase the miscibility between the two polymers. PLA (80%) and PBSeT (20%) were combined with various HDI contents in the range 0.1–1.0 parts-per-hundred rubber (phr) to prepare blends, and the resulting physical, thermal, and hydrolysis properties were analyzed. Fourier-transform infrared analysis confirmed that –NH–C=OO− bonds had formed between the HDI and the other polymers and that the chemical bonding had influenced the thermal behavior. All the HDI-treated specimens showed tensile strengths and elongations higher than those of the control. In particular, the 0.3-phr-HDI specimen showed the highest elongation (exceeding 150%) and tensile strength. In addition, all the specimens were hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions, and all the HDI-treated specimens degraded faster than the neat PLA one.

Abstract
With the development of nanotechnology, significant progress has been made in the design, and manufacture of nanoparticles (NPs) for use in clinical treatments. Recent increases in our understanding of the central role of macrophages in the context of inflammation and cancer have reinvigorated interest in macrophages as drug targets. Macrophages play an integral role in maintaining the steady state of the immune system and are involved in cancer and inflammation processes. Thus, NPs tailored to accurately target macrophages have the potential to transform disease treatment. Herein, we first present a brief background information of NPs as drug carriers, including but not limited to the types of nanomaterials, their biological properties and their advantages in clinical application. Then, macrophage effector mechanisms and recent NPs-based strategies aimed at targeting macrophages by eliminating or re-educating macrophages in inflammation and cancer are summarized. Additionally, the development of nanocarriers targeting macrophages for disease diagnosis is also discussed. Finally, the significance of macrophage-targeting nanomedicine is highlighted, with the goal of facilitating future clinical translation.
