Complexation of hydrophobic drugs with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin by lyophilization using a tertiary butyl alcohol system

In this study, a novel method is presented for the preparation of a hydrophobic drug hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) complex. Ketoprofen and nitrendipine were used as model drugs and their HPβCD complexes were prepared by lyophilization of a tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) system. The preparation procedure is as follows: both hydrophobic drugs and HPβCD are dissolved in TBA and subsequently passed through a 0.22 μm millpore filter. Then the solvent is removed by lyophilization to give a hydrophobic drug HPβCD complex in porous powder form. Based on the data obtained from FTIR, a hydrogen bond is formed between the drug and HPβCD. DSC, SEM and XRD results show that the drugs are amorphous in freeze-dried samples. The solubility of the hydrophobic drugs in simulated gastric juice and simulated intestinal fluid was increased markedly compared with pure drug. An in vitro release experiment showed that the dissolution rate of drug from the HPβCD complex was markedly enhanced compared with the pure drug and the physical mixture. This method is versatile, economic and easily scaled up. It is suitable for heat- and water-labile drugs and is expected to have a wide application in modifying the physicochemical characteristics of hydrophobic drugs.     

A Layered Chitosan/Graphene Oxide Sponge as Reusable Adsorbent for Removal of Heavy Metal Ions

Along with the growing severity of environment problem and energy crisis, it is inevitable to develop novel materials, which are contributed to the removal of hazardous pollutants from contaminated water. Herein, we reported a fhcile method for the preparation of free-standing chitosan/graphene oxide(CS/GO) composite sponges with low density, where CS/GO mixtures were first synthesized by tlie homogeneous reaction of chitosan and graphene oxide in aqueous acetic acid solution;then CS/GO sponges were obtained by lyophilizing the suspension, which were prefrozen at -20 ℃ and in liquid nitrogen successively. The obtained layered sponge showed good water- driven shape memory effect and was a good adsorbent of Co^2+ and Ni^2+ witli a large adsorption capacity of 224.8 and 423.7 mg/g, respectively. Importantly, the successive adsorption-desorption studies employing CS/GO sponge indicated that the composite could be regenerated by HC1 solution and reused in more than five cycles with regeneration efficiency beyond 80%. Also, the resultant sponge was explored as an exceptionally adsorbent for the removal of organic dye(e.g., methylene blue, MB).     

Synthesis of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Hydrotalcite-Like Materials Intercalated with Duplex Herbicides: The Characterization and Simultaneous Release Properties

In this study, a controlled-release formulation of duplex herbicides, namely, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxybutyric acid (TBA) and 3,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid (3,4D), was simultaneously embedded into Zn-Al-layered double hydroxides (LDHs). The resulting nanohybrid Zinc-Aluminium-3,4D-TBA (ZADTX) was composed of a well-ordered crystalline layered structure with increasing basal spacing from 8.9 Å to 20.0 Å in the Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) with 3,4D and TBA anions located in the gallery of LDHs with bilayer arrangement. The release of 3,4D and TBA fit the pseudo-second-order model. This duplex nanohybrid possessed a well-controlled release property (53.4% release from TBA and 27.8% release from 3,4D), which was highly effective, requiring the use of a small quantity and, hence, environmentally safer.     

Preparation and characterization of m PEG grafted chitosan micelles as 5-fluorouracil carriers for effective anti-tumor activity

The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of methoxy polyethylene glycol（m PEG）grafted chitosan（m PEG-g-CS） to be used as a drug carrier. m PEG-g-CS was successfully synthesized by one-step method with formaldehyde. The substitution degree of m PEG on chitosan was calculated by elemental analysis and was found to be（3.23 0.25）%. m PEG-g-CS self-assembled micelles were prepared by ultrasonic method with the controlled size of 178.5–195.1 nm and spherical morphology. Stable dispersion of the micelles was formed with the zeta potential of 2.3–30.2 m V. 5-Fluorouracil（5-FU）, an anticancer chemotherapy drug, was used as a model drug to evaluate the efficiency of the new drug delivery carrier. The loading efficiency of 5-FU was（4.01 0.03）%, and the drug-loaded m PEG-g-CS self-assembled micelle showed a controlled-release effect. In summary, the m PEG-g-CS self-assembled micelle is proved to be a promising carrier with controlled particle size and controlled-release effect. Therefore, it has great potential for the application as 5-FU carriers for effective anti-tumor activity.     

A novel chitosan-based sponge coated with self-assembled thrombin/tannic acid multilayer films as a hemostatic dressing

In order to prepare a novel hemostatic dressing for uncontrolled hemorrhage, a porous chitosan sponge was coated with self-assembled(thrombin/tannic acid)n films, which were based on hydrogen bonding interactions between thrombin and tannic acid at physiologic p H. According to the whole blood clotting test, the coated chitosan sponges showed a significantly high rate of blood clotting due to the addition of thrombin. On the other hand, the storable half-life of immobilized thrombin is extended to 66.9 days at room temperature, which is 8.5 times longer than unfixed thrombin. It is because of the immobilization effect of, not only the porous structure of chitosan sponge but also the interactions between thrombin and tannic acid. In addition, the tannic acid has similar antibacterial effect to chitosan. Therefore, it is an excellent combination of chitosan, thrombin and tannic acid. Besides, all of materials in this research have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration(FDA). So the chitosan-based sponge is a promising candidate dressing for uncontrolled hemorrhage due to its storable, bio-safe and highly effective hemostatic properties.     

Characterization of chitosan microparticles reinforced cellulose biocomposite sponges regenerated from ionic liquid

The chitosan-microparticles reinforced cellulose biocomposite sponges regenerated from ionic liquid were prepared and characterized. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed that the cellulose dissolved in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride without derivatization. Chitosan particles as reinforcement were incorporated into the cellulose matrix. FTIR spectra indicated hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl groups of cellulose and chitosan. The biocomposite sponges showed uniform three-dimensional interconnected porous structures. The breaking strength of the sponges increased significantly, from 0.09 to 0.32 MPa with the addition of 1.0 wt% chitosan. The sponges also demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli with the average inhibition zone diameters >2 mm and the inhibition rate higher than 80 %. Furthermore, the biocomposite sponges exhibited good moisture penetrability and high porosity. The water uptake ability of the sponge was >25 times of its weight in water with a fast swelling. The chitosan/cellulose composite sponge is expected to be a promising material for potential applications as wound dressing.     

Preparation and morphology control of three‐dimensional interconnected microporous PDMS for oil sorption

This study described an approach to impart controlled morphology and improved pore interconnectivity to poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) sponges for oil sorption by partially fusing the sugar particles together prior to creation of a continuous PDMS matrix. PDMS sponges with high absorption capacity, low water pickup, and remarkable reusability were fabricated by the polymerization of the PDMS prepolymer and a curing agent in cyclohexane. The PDMS sponge showed oil absorbency in the range from 790% to 4000% for various oils solvents, with the maximum absorption capacity reaching up to 23 times of its weight. Compressive modulus of PDMS subjected to sugar fusion for 24 hr was significantly increased to 1900 Mpa. The sponge also exhibited excellent repellency to corrosive strong acid and alkali. Besides, oil can be quickly adsorbed in tens of seconds and maintained for several months. Furthermore, PDMS sponges showed little loss of their absorption capacities and owned weights after 20 absorbing/recovering cycles. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Hemostasis mechanism and applications of N‐alkylated chitosan sponge

Chitosan (CHI) is a versatile biological material that is well known for its hemostatic properties. This preliminary study evaluated several self‐assembling hydrophobically modified chitosan (HM–CHI) sponges to determine their efficacy on hemostasis . Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy was used to determine the successful graft of dodecyl groups onto the nitrogen atoms of CHI molecules. A platelet aggregation assay revealed that HM–CHI accelerated the platelet aggregation rate. Fluorescence spectroscopy showed that the HM–CHI changed the structure of fibrinogen in blood. Activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, fibrinogen time, and thromboelastographic assays were used to explore the effect of HM–CHI on the autologous blood coagulation pathway. Finally, a hemostatic sponge was made with HM–CHI and freeze‐dried zeolite composite film and was applied to the rat femoral artery hemostasis model. A hemostasis time of 86 ± 5 sec was achieved, which was significantly better than the one composed with pure CHI. The experimental results of the HM–CHI hemostatic materials are inspiring and will encourage the research and development of such materials. HM–CHI may be a strong candidate as a safe and effective hemostatic material. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
