Lignin-Based Hollow Nanoparticles for Controlled Drug Delivery: Grafting Preparation Using ?-Cyclodextrin/Enzymatic-Hydrolysis Lignin.

ABSTRACT: Due to its abundance, degradability, and low toxicity, lignin is a promising raw material for the preparation of nanomaterials. However, efficient encapsulation using lignin-nanomaterial for sustained-release medications remains a challenge. This study involves grafting ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD), with a hollow toroidal structure, onto the enzymatic-hydrolysis lignin (EHL) to form CD-EHL. The modified lignin was next used to prepare hollow nanoparticles (LHNPs) via self-assembly to encapsulate the antitumor drug hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT). The results indicated that ?-CD improved the network structure of modified lignin molecules. Moreover, LHNPs that self-assembled using CD-EHL had an increased specific surface area and greater porosity, and exhibited a spherical hollow structure and stability in phosphate-buffered saline. The drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of HCPT were 70.6 ± 9% and 22.02 ± 2%, respectively. An in vitro study showed that lignin-based nanoparticles have low toxicity, and the modified LHNPs demonstrated a good sustained-release capability. This study broadened the potential application of lignin as a renewable biomass material.

Due to its abundance, degradability, and low toxicity, lignin is a promising raw material for the preparation of nanomaterials. However, efficient encapsulation using lignin-nanomaterial for sustained-release medications remains a challenge. This study involves grafting β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), with a hollow toroidal structure, onto the enzymatic-hydrolysis lignin (EHL) to form CD-EHL.

Project description:Tunable glutathione (GSH)-sensitive hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSiO2 NPs) were developed using a structural difference-based selective etching strategy. These organosilica hollow nanoparticles contained disulfide linkages (S-S) in the outer shell which were degraded by GSH. The particles were compared with their nonGSH-sensitive tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) HMSiO2 counterparts in terms of their synthesis method, characterization, doxorubicin (DOX) release profile, and in vitro cytotoxicity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the particles indicated that the fabricated HMSiO2 NPs had an average diameter of 130?±?5?nm. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that GSH-sensitive particles had approximately 5.3% more weight loss than TEOS HMSiO2 NPs. Zeta potential of these redox-responsive particles was -23?±?1?mV at pH?6 in deionized (DI) water. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm revealed that the surface area of the hollow mesoporous nanoreservoirs was roughly 446?±?6?m2?g-1 and the average diameter of the pores was 2.3?±?0.5?nm. TEM images suggest that the nanoparticles started to lose mass integrity from Day 1. The particles showed a high loading capacity for DOX (8.9?±?0.5%) as a model drug, due to the large voids existing in the hollow structures. Approximately 58% of the incorporated DOX released within 14?days in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH?6 and in the presence of 10?mM of GSH, mimicking intracellular tumor microenvironment while release from TEOS HMSiO2 NPs was only c.a. 18%. The uptake of these hollow nanospheres by MCF-7 cells and RAW 264.7 macrophages was evaluated using TEM and confocal microscopy. The nanospheres were shown to accumulate in the endolysosomal compartments after incubation for 24?h with the maximum uptake of c.a. 2.1?±?0.3% and 5.2?±?0.4%, respectively. Cytotoxicity of the nanospheres was investigated using CCK-8 assay. Results indicate that intact hollow particles (both GSH-sensitive and TEOS HMSiO2 NPs) were nontoxic to MCF-7 cells after incubation for 24?h within the concentration range of 0-1000??g?ml-1. DOX-loaded GSH-sensitive nanospheres containing 6??g?ml-1 of DOX killed c.a. 51% of MCF-7 cells after 24?h while TEOS HMSiO2 NPs killed c.a. 20% with the difference being statistically significant. Finally, cytotoxicity data in RAW 264.7 macrophages and NIH 3?T3 fibroblasts shows that intact GSH-sensitive HMSiO2 NPs did not show any toxic effects on these cells with the concentrations equal or <125??g?ml-1.
