Abstract
In recent year, the research of transdermal drug delivery systems has got substantial attention towards the development of microneedles (MNs). This shift has occurred due to multifaceted advantages of MNs as they can be utilized to deliver the drug deeper to the skin with minimal invasion, offer successful delivery of drugs and biomolecules that are susceptible to degradation in gastrointestinal tract (GIT), act as biosensors, and help in monitoring the level of biomarkers in the body. These can be fabricated into different types based on their applications as well as material for fabrication. Some of their types include solid MNs, hollow MNs, coated MNs, hydrogel forming MNs, and dissolving MNs. These MNs deliver the therapeutics via microchannels deeper into the skin. The coated and hollow MNs have been found successful. However, they suffer from poor drug loading and blocking of pores. In contrast, dissolving MNs offer high drug loading. These MNs have also been utilized to deliver vaccines and biologicals. They have also been used in cosmetics. The current review covers the different types of MNs, materials used in their fabrication, properties of MNs, and various case studies related to their role in delivering therapeutics, monitoring level of biomarkers/hormones in body such as insulin. Various patents and clinical trials related to MNs are also covered. Covered are the major bottlenecks associated with their clinical translation and potential future perspectives.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Cigarette smoking is among the main aetiologic factors for both ailments. These diseases share common pathogenetic mechanisms including inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue remodelling. Current therapeutic approaches are limited by low efficacy and adverse effects. Consequentially, LC has a 5-year survival of < 20%, while COPD is incurable, underlining the necessity for innovative treatment strategies. Two promising emerging classes of therapy against these diseases include plant-derived molecules (phytoceuticals) and nucleic acid-based therapies. The clinical application of both is limited by issues including poor solubility, poor permeability, and, in the case of nucleic acids, susceptibility to enzymatic degradation, large size, and electrostatic charge density. Nanoparticle-based advanced drug delivery systems are currently being explored as flexible systems allowing to overcome these limitations. In this review, an updated summary of the most recent studies using nanoparticle-based advanced drug delivery systems to improve the delivery of nucleic acids and phytoceuticals for the treatment of LC and COPD is provided. This review highlights the enormous relevance of these delivery systems as tools that are set to facilitate the clinical application of novel categories of therapeutics with poor pharmacokinetic properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Present study aimed to identify a safe and effective non-oncology drug cocktail as an alternative to toxic chemotherapeutics for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment. The assessment of cytotoxicity of cocktail (as co-adjuvant) in combination with chemotherapeutic docetaxel (DTX) is also aimed. Further, we aimed to develop an oral solid self-emulsifying drug delivery system (S-SEDDS) for the simultaneous delivery of identified drugs. SIGNIFICANCE The identified non-oncology drug cocktail could overcome the shortage of anticancer therapeutics and help to reduce cancer-related mortality. Moreover, the developed S-SEDDS could be an ideal system for concurrent oral delivery of non-oncology drug combinations. METHODS The non-oncology drugs (alone and in combinations) were screened in vitro for anticancer effect (against HepG2 cells) using (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide; MTT) dye assay, and cell cycle arresting and apoptotic behaviors using the fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) technique. The S-SEDDS is composed of drugs such as Ketoconazole (KCZ), Disulfiram (DSR), Tadalafil (TLF), and excipients like span-80, tween-80, soybean oil, Leciva S-95, Poloxamer F108 (PF-108), and Neusilin® US2 (adsorbent carrier) was developed and characterized. RESULTS The cocktail composed of KCZ, DSR, and TLF has showed substantial cytotoxicity (at the lowest concentration of 3.3 picomoles), HepG2 cell arrest at G0/G1 and S phases, and substantial cell death via apoptosis. The Docetaxel (DTX) inclusion into this cocktail has further resulted in increased cytotoxicity, cell arrest at the G2/M phase, and cell necrosis. The optimized blank liquid SEDDS that remains transparent without phase separation for more than 6 months is used for the preparation of drug-loaded liquid SEDDS (DL-SEDDS). The optimized DL-SEDDS with low viscosity, good dispersibility, considerable drug retention upon dilution, and smaller particle size is further converted into drug-loaded solid SEDDS (DS-SEDDS). The final DS-SEDDS demonstrated acceptable flowability and compression characteristics, significant drug retention (more than 93%), particle size in nano range (less than 500 nm) and nearly spherical morphology following dilutions. The DS-SEDDS showed substantially increased cytotoxicity and Caco-2 cell permeability than plain drugs. Furthermore, DS-SEDDS containing only non-oncology drugs caused lower in vivo toxicity (only 6% body weight loss) than DS-SEDDS containing non-oncology drugs with DTX (about 10% weight loss). CONCLUSION The current study revealed a non-oncology drug combination effective against hepatocellular carcinoma. Further, it is concluded that the developed S-SEDDS containing non-oncology drug combination alone and in combination with DTX could be a promising alternative to toxic chemotherapeutics for the effective oral treatment of hepatic cancer.

Abstract
Simvastatin (SMV) is noticed as a repurposed candidate to be effective against breast cancer (BC). However, poor solubility, dose-limiting toxicities, and side effects are critical hurdles in its use against BC. The above drawbacks necessitate the site-specific (localized) delivery of SMV via suitable nanocarriers. Therefore, the present study intended to develop SMV nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC)-based gel using carbopol-934 as a gelling agent to achieve local delivery and improve patient compliance while combating BC. The SMV NLCs were fabricated by melt-emulsification ultrasonication technique using stearic acid as solid lipid, olive oil (OO) as liquid lipid, tween 20 as a surfactant, and PEG-200 as a co-surfactant, and optimized by Box-Behnken design. The optimized SMV-loaded NLCs displayed % entrapment efficiency of 91.66 ± 5.2% and particle size of 182 ± 11.9 nm. The pH of NLC-based gels prepared using a 2.0% w/v of carbopol-934 was found in the range of 5.3-5.6 while the viscosity was in the range of 5.1-6.6 Pa.S. Besides, NLC-based gels exhibited higher and controlled SMV release (71-76%) at pH 6.8 and (78-84%) at pH 5.5 after 48 h than SMV conventional gel (37%) at both pH 6.8 and 5.5 after 48 h. The ex vivo permeation of SMV from NLC-based gel was 3.8 to 4.5 times more than conventional gel. Notably, SMV-loaded NLCs displayed ameliorated cytotoxicity than plain SMV against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 BC cells. No substantial difference was noticed in the cytotoxicity of NLC-based gels and pure SMV against both cell lines. The SMV NLC-based gel exhibited the absence of skin irritation in vivo in the mice following topical application. In addition, the histopathological study revealed no alteration in the mice skin anatomy. Furthermore, the SMV-loaded NLCs and NLC-based gels were stable for 6 months at refrigerator conditions (4°C ± 2°C). Thus, the present research confirms that NLC-based gel can be a safe, efficacious, and novel alternative to treat BC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Among infectious diseases, bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) is the leading cause of death worldwide. However, the bacteria have produced resistance to many of these antibiotics. Thus, the present study aimed to develop silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) loaded with Emilia sonchifolia (ES) extract (ES-AgNPs) to treat BSI efficiently. METHODS AgNPs were synthesized by reduction of silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution by ES extract. Furthermore, these ES-AgNPs were characterized for particle size and zeta potential, crystallinity by powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD) technique, in vitro antibacterial activity, time-kill assay, film bio adhesion, and fluorescence assay. RESULTS Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has been used to confirm the formation of AgNPs by seeing a shift in colour to dark-brown. The ES-AgNPs displayed a mean particle size of 137±3nm (PDI of 0.168±0.02) and zeta potential of 18.2±0.8mV. Furthermore, according to P-XRD results, the developed AgNPs are highly crystalline. The ES-AgNPs showed effective antibacterial action against E. coli with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) of 0.4±0.02μg/mL and 0.8±0.03μg/mL, respectively. In addition, ES-AgNPs inhibited biofilm formation and bacterial adhesion in a dose-dependent manner with 100% inhibition obtained in 48h at MBC. CONCLUSIONS Present research work revealed that the ES-AgNPs obtained by green synthesis holds a prominent antibacterial activity in the treatment of BSIs caused by E. coli and they may be used as a competent substitute for current treatments. However, further, in vivo antibacterial studies are required to establish its efficacy in the treatment of BSIs.

Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic is taking a dangerous turn due to unavailability of approved and effective vaccines and therapy. Currently available diagnostic techniques are time-consuming, expensive, and maybe impacted by the mutations produced in the virus. Therefore, investigation of novel, rapid, and economic diagnosis techniques, prophylactic vaccines and targeted efficacious drug delivery systems as treatment strategy is imperative. Carbohydrates are essential biomolecules which also act as markers in the realization of immune systems. Moreover, they exhibit antiviral, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. Carbohydrate-based vaccines and therapeutics including stimuli sensitive systems can be developed successfully and used effectively to fight COVID-19. Thus, carbohydrate-based diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic alternatives could be promising to defeat COVID-19 propitiously. Morphology of SARS-CoV-2 and its relevance in devising combat strategies has been discussed. Carbohydrate-based approaches for tackling infectious diseases and their importance in the design of various diagnostic and treatment modalities have been reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Podophyllotoxin (PPT) is a naturally occurring compound obtained from the roots of Podophyllum species, indicated for a variety of malignant tumors such as breast, lung, and liver tumors. This toxic polyphenol (PPT) exhibited significant activity against P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated multidrug-resistant (MDR) cancer cells. However, extremely poor water solubility, a narrow therapeutic window, and high toxicity have greatly restricted the clinical uses of PPT. Therefore, the present research was aimed to synthesize the water-soluble ester prodrug of PPT with polyacrylic acid (PAA), a water-soluble polymer by Steglich esterification reaction, and to screen it for assay, solubility, in vitro hemolysis, in vitro release, and in vitro anticancer activity. RESULTS The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy results revealed the successful synthesis of podophyllotoxin-polyacrylic acid conjugate (PPC). The assay and saturation solubility of the prodrug is found to be 64.01 ± 4.5% and 1.39 ± 0.05 mg/mL (PPT equivalent) respectively. The PPC showed CMC (critical micelle concentration) of 0.430 mg/mL in distilled water at room temperature. The PPC micelles showed a mean particle size of 215 ± 11 nm with polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.193 ± 0.006. Further, the transmission electron microscope (TEM) results confirmed the self-assembling character of PPC into micelles. The PPC caused significantly less hemolysis (18.6 ± 2.9%) than plain PPT solution. Also, it demonstrated significantly (p < 0.01) higher in vitro cytotoxicity against both sensitive as well as resistance human breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA MB-231) after 48 h of treatment. CONCLUSION The obtained study results clearly revealed the notable in vitro anticancer activity of PPT following its esterification with PAA. However, further in vivo studies are needed to ascertain its efficacy against a variety of cancers.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Methotrexate (MTX), a folate anti-metabolite, has been used widely in the treatment of plenty of malignancies. However, the clinical use is limited because of its poor water solubility (BCS class II drug), nonspecific distribution, drug resistance, short circulation half-life, and toxicity. The objective of the present research was to synthesize the ester prodrug of MTX with d-α-Tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) and characterize for in vitro anticancer efficacy.
Results
The FTIR and NMR results revealed the successful synthesis of the prodrug. The assay and saturation solubility of the prodrug is found to be 23 ± 2.5% and 6.7 ± 1.3 mg/mL (MTX equivalent) respectively. The CMC of the prodrug in distilled water at room temperature is found to be 36.9 ± 2.6 μg/mL. The prepared prodrug micelles showed a mean particle size of 166 ± 10 nm (PDI, 0.325 ± 0.09). Further, the TEM results confirmed the self-assembling character of the prodrug into micelles with a nearly spherical shape. The prodrug caused the significantly (p < 0.01) less hemolysis (16.8 ± 1.5%) when compared to plain MTX solution and significantly higher (p < 0.01) in vitro cytotoxicity, cell cycle arresting, and apoptosis against human breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231).
Conclusion
Our study results revealed the remarkable in vitro anticancer activity of MTX following its esterification with TPGS. However, further, in vivo studies are needed to prove its efficacy against different cancers.
