This work presents the development of a nanoscale system using alginate to encapsulate a blend of oils that have antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The study investigates the effects of polymer and surfactant concentrations on the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles. The results show that the nanostructured system is stable, has high encapsulation efficiency, and nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 200-400 nm.
Aiming to highlight the valorization of the natural products and the green synthesis processes, this work describes the development of a nanoscale system based on the use of alginate to encapsulate a blend of oils (vegetable and essential oils), not previously reported, with antibacterial and antioxidant actions. The study shows the influence of the polymer and surfactant concentrations on the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles. The formulations were characterized by DLS, zeta potential, efficiency of encapsulation and stability. In addition, the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of the systems were evaluated using the DPPH method and disk diffusion assays, respectively. The shelf life was studied by coating fruits and seeds. The results showed that the nanostructured system was stable, the efficiency of encapsulation was high and the nanoparticles size range was about 200-400 nm. The coating of fruits and seeds showed that the system was capable of inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and delaying the fruit maturation, indicating its potential for prolonging the shelf-life of fresh food.

Liquid crystal precursor system as a vehicle for curcumin-mediated photodynamic inactivation of oral biofilms

Barbara Donadon Reina, Carolina Santezi, Samuel Santana Malheiros, Giovana Calixto, Camila Rodero, Francesca Damiani Victorelli, Marlus Chorilli, Livia Nordi Dovigo

Summary: This study demonstrates the antimicrobial efficacy of a curcumin-loaded liquid crystal precursor for photodynamic inactivation of dental biofilms. The results show a significant reduction in viable colonies when using the curcumin-loaded liquid crystal precursor compared to the control group. Hierarchical linear regression analysis suggests that individual characteristics may affect the efficacy of photodynamic inactivation.

Chitosan and HPMCAS double-coating as protective systems for alginate microparticles loaded with Ctx(Ile21)-Ha antimicrobial peptide to prevent intestinal infections

Cesar Augusto Roque-Borda, Mauro de Mesquita Souza Saraiva, Wagner Dias Macedo Junior, Jose Carlos Estanislao Marquez Montesinos, Andreia Bagliotti Meneguin, Anna Beatriz Toledo Borges, Edson Crusca Junior, Saulo Santesso Garrido, Adriana Maria de Almeida, Reinaldo Marchetto, Marlus Chorilli, Angelo Berchieri Junior, Silvio Rainho Teixeira, Fernando Rogerio Pavan, Eduardo Festozo Vicente

Summary: The incorrect use of conventional drugs for intestinal infections has led to the spread of bacterial resistance. Antimicrobial peptide Ctx(Ile21)-Ha has shown effective antimicrobial activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria. However, direct oral application is not feasible due to gastrointestinal degradation. In this study, alginate microparticles loaded with Ctx(Ile21)-Ha peptide were designed to protect it and release it in the intestine, providing a potential solution for combating intestinal pathogens.

Bruno Fonseca-Santos, Giovanna Angeli Araujo, Paula Scanavez Ferreira, Francesca Damiani Victorelli, Andressa Maria Pironi, Victor Hugo Sousa Araujo, Suzana Goncalves Carvalho, Marlus Chorilli

Summary: Skin inflammation is a common symptom of various skin diseases, and the use of natural products with anti-inflammatory properties has become important in its treatment. This study focuses on formulating and characterizing lipid-surfactant-based systems for the delivery of ursolic acid (UA) to alleviate skin inflammation. Microemulsions and liquid crystalline systems were successfully developed and characterized using various techniques. In vivo studies demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effects of the formulated systems. These findings support the development of colloidal systems for the delivery of UA in the treatment of skin inflammation.

Understanding mucus modulation behavior of chitosan oligomers and dextran sulfate combining light scattering and calorimetric observations

Leonardo M. B. Ferreira, Valeria M. O. Cardoso, Igor dos Santos Pedriz, Mauricio P. C. Souza, Natalia N. Ferreira, Marlus Chorilli, Maria P. D. Gremiao, Valtencir Zucolotto

Summary: This study provides fundamental understanding of mucus-modulatory strategies using charged bio-polymers of different molecular weights and surface charges. Biophysical evidence supports that the interactions between low-molecular-weight polycation chitosan oligosaccharides (COSs) and high-molecular-weight polyanion dextran sulfate (DS) with mucin (MUC) exhibit distinct thermodynamic signatures. The results suggest that electrostatics is not the driving force governing COS-MUC interactions.

Summary: Cancer is a major global health problem and treatment remains challenging. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), especially superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION), have been applied for cancer treatment by guiding them to the tumor microenvironment through external magnetic fields and transforming electromagnetic energy into heat for hyperthermia treatment. The low stability of MNPs requires coating, and lipid-based nanoparticles, especially liposomes, have been used to encapsulate MNPs for improved stability as a cancer treatment approach.

A receptor-mediated landscape of druggable and targeted nanomaterials for gliomas

Leonardo Delello Di Filippo, Suzana Goncalves de Carvalho, Jonatas Lobato Duarte, Marcela Tavares Luiz, Jessyca Aparecida Paes Dutra, Geanne Aparecida de Paula, Marlus Chorilli, Joao Conde

Summary: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive type of primary brain tumor, accounting for approximately 60% of cases of gliomas. However, the treatment of GBM is challenging due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the delivery of therapeutic drugs to the brain parenchyma. Nanocarriers with nanometric size and surface modifications show promise in improving the bioavailability and targeting of chemotherapeutic drugs to GBM cells. This review provides an overview of the most frequently overexpressed receptors in GBM cells and potential strategies for chemotherapeutic delivery and active targeting using nanocarriers.

Effects of aging and diabetes on the deformation mechanisms and molecular structural characteristics of collagen fibrils under daily activity

Wei-Han Hui, Yen-Lin Chen, Shu-Wei Chang

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
