Remote Temperature-Responsive Parafilm Dermal Patch for On-Demand Topical Drug Delivery.

ABSTRACT: The development of externally controlled drug delivery systems that can rapidly trigger drug release is widely expected to change the landscape of future drug carriers. In this study, a drug delivery system was developed for on-demand therapeutic effects. The thermoresponsive paraffin film can be loaded on the basis of therapeutic need, including local anesthetic (lidocaine) or topical antibiotic (neomycin), controlled remotely by a portable mini-heater. The application of mild temperature (45 °C) to the drug-loaded paraffin film allowed a rapid stimulus response within a short time (5 min). This system exploits regular drug release and the rapid generation of mild heat to trigger a burst release of 80% within 6 h of any locally administered drug. The in vitro drug release studies and in vivo therapeutic activity were observed for local anesthesia and wound healing using a neomycin-loaded film. The studies demonstrated on-demand drug release with minimized inflammation and microbial infection. This temperature-responsive drug-loaded film can be triggered remotely to provide flexible control of dose magnitude and timing. Our preclinical studies on these remotely adjustable drug delivery systems can significantly improve patient compliance and medical practice.

Magnetically responsive nanofibrous ceramic scaffolds for on-demand motion and drug delivery.

Project description:Smart biomaterials, featuring not only bioactivity, but also dynamic responsiveness to external stimuli, are desired for biomedical applications, such as regenerative medicine, and hold great potential to expand the boundaries of the modern clinical practice. Herein, a magnetically responsive three-dimensional scaffold with sandwich structure is developed by using hydroxyapatite (HA) nanowires and ferrosoferric oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles as building blocks. The magnetic HA/Fe3O4 scaffold is fully inorganic in nature, but shows polymeric hydrogel-like characteristics including a 3D fibrous network that is highly porous (>99.7% free volume), deformable (50% deformation) and elastic, and tunable stiffness. The magnetic HA/Fe3O4 scaffold has been shown to execute multimodal motion upon exposure to an external magnetic field including shape transformation, rolling and somersault. In addition, we have demonstrated that the magnetic scaffold can serve as a smart carrier for remotely controlled, on-demand delivery of compounds including an organic dye and a protein. Finally, the magnetic scaffold has exhibited good biocompatibility, supporting the attachment and proliferation of human mesenchymal stromal cells, thereby showing great potential as smart biomaterials for a variety of biomedical applications.

Mitochondrial temperature-responsive drug delivery reverses drug resistance in lung cancer.

Project description:Reversal of cancer drug resistance remains a critical challenge in chemotherapy. Mitochondria-targeted drug delivery has been suggested to mitigate drug resistance in cancer. To overcome the intrinsic limitations in conventional mitochondrial targeting strategies, we develop mitochondrial temperature-responsive drug delivery to reverse doxorubicin (DOX) resistance in lung cancer. Results demonstrate that the thermoresponsive nanocarrier can prevent DOX efflux and facilitate DOX accumulation and mitochondrial targeting in DOX-resistant tumors. As a consequence, thermoresponsive nanocarrier enhances the cytotoxicity of DOX and reverses the drug resistance in tumor-bearing mice. This work represents the first example of mitochondrial temperature-responsive drug delivery for reversing cancer drug resistance.

Visible light and near-infrared-responsive chromophores for drug delivery-on-demand applications.

Project description:The need for temporal-spatial control over the release of biologically active molecules has motivated efforts to engineer novel drug delivery-on-demand strategies actuated via light irradiation. Many systems, however, have been limited to in vitro proof-of-concept due to biocompatibility issues with the photo-responsive moieties or the light wavelength, intensity, and duration. To overcome these limitations, this paper describes a light actuated drug delivery-on-demand strategy that uses visible and near-infrared (NIR) light and biocompatible chromophores: cardiogreen, methylene blue, and riboflavin. All three chromophores are capable of significant photothermal reaction upon exposure to NIR and visible light, and the amount of temperature change is dependent upon light intensity, wavelength as well as chromophore concentration. Pulsatile release of bovine serum albumin (BSA) from thermally responsive hydrogels was achieved over 4 days. These findings have the potential to translate light-actuated drug delivery-on-demand systems from the bench to clinical applications that require explicit control over the presentation of biologically active molecules.

Temperature-dependent shape-responsive fluorescent nanospheres for image-guided drug delivery.

Project description:Temperature-responsive nanoparticles used in conjunction with hyperthermia promise to provide synergistic effects for increasing drug efficacy. We propose a near-infared (NIR) fluorescent system based on a upper critical solution temperature (UCST) polymer, ISP2, integrated with a NIR fluorescent dye HITC for in vivo tracking. The system forms a nanoparticle that increases its volume as temperature increases, similar to the expansion of a Hoberman sphere. The nanospheres nearly doubled in size, from 80 nm to 140 nm, during a temperature increase from 40°C to 60°C.

Temperature Responsive Nanoparticles Based on PEGylated Polyaspartamide Derivatives for Drug Delivery.

Project description:The temperature responsive PEGylated polyaspartamide derivative, denoted as mPEG-PAAHP, was synthesized by the click reaction. FTIR and ¹H NMR were adopted to characterize and confirm the chemical structures of the obtained mPEG-PAAHPs. The temperature responsive behavior investigated by transmittance and dynamic light scattering showed that some of the obtained mPEG-PAAHPs exhibited obvious temperature responsiveness and could be used to prepare nanoparticles by quickly heating. Drug paclitaxel can be encapsulated into mPEG-PAAHP based nanoparticles with a high encapsulation efficiency up to 99% (corresponding to a drug loading content of around 9.9%). Dynamic light scattering results showed that the PTX-loaded nanoparticles had a mean size around 80 nm (PDI<0.2) and good stability in PBS with 150 mM ionic strength. In vitro cytotoxicity results showed that mPEG-PAAHP did not show any toxicity to HeLa cells, but the PTX-loaded nanoparticles based on mPEG-PAAHP exhibited obvious anti-cancer activity. Thus, the temperature responsive PEGylated polyaspartamide derivative mPEG-PAAHP may be a promising drug delivery system.

Water-responsive gel extends drug retention and facilitates skin penetration for curcumin topical delivery against psoriasis.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by erythema, scaling, and skin thickening. Topical drug application is recommended as the first-line treatment. Many formulation strategies have been developed and explored for enhanced topical psoriasis treatment. However, these preparations usually have low viscosity and limited retention on the skin surface, resulting in low drug delivery efficiency and poor patient satisfaction. In this study, we developed the first water-responsive gel (WRG), which has a distinct water-triggered liquid-to-gel phase transition property. Specifically, WRG was kept in a solution state in the absence of water, and the addition of water induced an immediate phase transition and resulted in a high viscosity gel. Curcumin was used as a model drug to investigate the potential of WRG in topical drug delivery against psoriasis. In vitro and in vivo data showed that WRG formulation could not only extend skin retention but also facilitate the drug permeating across the skin. In a mouse model of psoriasis, curcumin loaded WRG (CUR-WRG) effectively ameliorated the symptoms of psoriasis and exerted a potent anti-psoriasis effect by extending drug retention and facilitating drug penetration. Further mechanism study demonstrated that the anti-hyperplasia, anti-inflammation, anti-angiogenesis, anti-oxidation, and immunomodulation properties of curcumin were amplified by enhanced topical drug delivery efficiency. Notably, neglectable local or systemic toxicity was observed for CUR-WRG application. This study suggests that WRG is a promising formulation for topically psoriasis treatment.

Film-Forming Sprays for Topical Drug Delivery.

Project description:Film-forming sprays offer many advantages compared to conventional topical preparations because they can provide uniform drug distribution and dose, increased bioavailability, lower incidence of irritation, continuous drug release, and accelerated wound healing through moisture control. Film-forming sprays consist of polymers and excipients that improve the characteristics of preparations and enhance the stability of active substances. Each type of polymer and excipient will produce films with different features. Therefore, the various types of polymers and excipients and their evaluation standards need to be examined for the development of a more optimal form of film-forming spray. The selected literature included research on polymers as film-forming matrices and the application of these sprays for medical purposes or for potential medical use. This article discusses the types and concentrations of polymers and excipients, sprayer types, evaluations, and critical parameters in determining the sprayability and film characteristics. The review concludes that both natural and synthetic polymers that have in situ film or viscoelastic properties can be used to optimise topical drug delivery.

Light-driven carbon nitride microswimmers with propulsion in biological and ionic media and responsive on-demand drug delivery.

Project description:We propose two-dimensional poly(heptazine imide) (PHI) carbon nitride microparticles as light-driven microswimmers in various ionic and biological media. Their high-speed (15 to 23 micrometer per second; 9.5 ± 5.4 body lengths per second) swimming in multicomponent ionic solutions with concentrations up to 5 M and without dedicated fuels is demonstrated, overcoming one of the bottlenecks of previous light-driven microswimmers. Such high ion tolerance is attributed to a favorable interplay between the particle’s textural and structural nanoporosity and optoionic properties, facilitating ionic interactions in solutions with high salinity. Biocompatibility of these microswimmers is validated by cell viability tests with three different cell lines and primary cells. The nanopores of the swimmers are loaded with a model cancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX), resulting in a high (185%) loading efficiency without passive release. Controlled drug release is reported under different pH conditions and can be triggered on-demand by illumination. Light-triggered, boosted release of DOX and its active degradation products are demonstrated under oxygen-poor conditions using the intrinsic, environmentally sensitive and light-induced charge storage properties of PHI, which could enable future theranostic applications in oxygen-deprived tumor regions. These organic PHI microswimmers simultaneously address the current light-driven microswimmer challenges of high ion tolerance, fuel-free high-speed propulsion in biological media, biocompatibility, and controlled on-demand cargo release toward their biomedical, environmental, and other potential applications.

Dually responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles regulated by upper critical solution temperature polymers for intracellular drug delivery.

Project description:We synthesized a new type of upper critical solution temperature (UCST) thermally responsive polymers (TRPs) with varying responsive temperatures (cloud points). We then grafted one of the TRPs with a cloud point of 42°C on the surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) using disulfide bonds to achieve a novel, dual responsive release system. With this system, the cargo release profiles are responsive to both temperature and reducing agents. When loaded with doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), the system could deliver DOX into breast cancer cells (SK-BR-3) in a controlled fashion and present high toxicity.

Temperature-Responsive Hydrogel for Silver Sulfadiazine Drug Delivery: Optimized Design and In Vitro/In Vivo Evaluation.

Project description:Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimise a temperature-responsive hydrogel formulation synthesised via the direct incorporation of biocellulose, which was extracted from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) using the PF127 method. The optimised temperature-responsive hydrogel formulation was found to contain 3.000 w/v% biocellulose percentage and 19.047 w/v% PF127 percentage. The optimised temperature-responsive hydrogel provided excellent LCST near to the human body surface temperature, with high mechanical strength, drug release duration, and inhibition zone diameter against Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, in vitro cytotoxicity testing against human epidermal keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells was conducted to evaluate the toxicity of the optimised formula. It was found that silver sulfadiazine (SSD)-loaded temperature-responsive hydrogel can be used as a safe replacement for the commercial SSD cream with no toxic effect on HaCaT cells. Last, but not least, in vivo (animal) dermal testing-both dermal sensitization and animal irritation-were conducted to evaluate the safety and biocompatibility of the optimised formula. No sensitization effects were detected on the skin applied with SSD-loaded temperature-responsive hydrogel indicating no irritant response for topical application. Therefore, the temperature-responsive hydrogel produced from OPEFB is ready for the next stage of commercialisation.
