Fluorescent nanoparticles of chitosan complex for real-time monitoring drug release

New types of fluorescent nanoparticles (FNPs) were prepared through ionic self-assembly of anthracene derivative and chitosan for applications as drug delivery carriers with real-time monitoring of the process of drug release. Because of the presence of the hydrophilic groups, these FNPs showed excellent dispersion and stability in aqueous solution. The structure and properties of the FNPs were investigated by using means of (1)H NMR, FTIR, SEM, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and so on. The potential practical applications as drug delivery carriers for real-time detection of the drug release process were demonstrated using Nicardipine as a model drug. Upon loading the drug, the strong blue fluorescence of FNPs was quenched due to electron transfer and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). With release of drug in vitro, the fluorescence was recovered again. The relationship between the accumulative drug release of FNPs and the recovered fluorescence intensity has been established. Such FNPs may open up new perspectives for designing a new class of detection system for monitoring drug release.     

Physicochemical aspects of drug delivery and release from polymer-based colloids

Recent advances in the preparation/loading, surface properties, and applications of polymer-based colloidal drug delivery and release systems, such as block copolymer micelles, polymer nano- and microparticles, polymer-modified liposomes, and chemical and physical hydrogels are presented. Drug release from polymer-based systems is affected by the drug–polymer interactions as well as the polymer microstructure and dissociation/erosion properties. Surface modification with poly(ethylene oxide) has become common in improving the biocompatibility and biodistribution of drug delivery carriers. Site-specific drug delivery can be achieved by polymer-based colloidal drug carriers when ligands of targeting information are attached on the carrier surface or when a phase transition is induced by an external stimulus. While significant progress in being made, many challenges remain in preserving the biological activity and attaining the desired drug release properties, especially for protein and DNA drugs.     

Perovskite ceramics and recent experimental progress in reactor design for chemical looping combustion application

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a novel method of carbon capture and sequestration. It facilitates CO₂ capture by lower energy penalties compared with other methods in this category. The major challenges encountered in CLC are oxygen carrier, reactor and fuel-type selection. A proper combination of these factors is required for an efficient CLC. There have been several studies with regard to oxygen carriers applicable to these processes: novel oxygen carriers, single perovskites and potential oxygen carriers, double perovskites, have been investigated for their oxygen capture and release properties in a number of studies. Different kinds of reactors have also been proposed for use in CLC processes. This paper presents information on the materials capable of oxygen storage and release and the different kinds of reactors investigated for CLC in different studies. It has been shown that, although there are several oxygen carriers and reactors with the desired function and efficiency for CLC, there remains the need for further improvement and optimisation in both areas. © 2014 Institute of Chemistry, Slovak Academy of Sciences     

Thermoresponsive Copolymer/SiO2 Nanoparticles with Dual Functions of Thermally Controlled Drug Release and Simultaneous Carrier Decomposition

The preparation of thermoresponsive drug carriers with a self‐destruction property is presented. These drug carriers were fabricated by incorporation of drug molecules and thermoresponsive copolymer, poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide‐co‐acrylamide), into silica nanoparticles in a one‐pot preparation process. The enhanced drug release was primarily attributed to faster molecule diffusion resulting from the particle decomposition triggered by phase transformation of the copolymer upon the temperature change. The decomposition of the drug carriers into small fragments should benefit their fast excretion from the body. In addition, the resulting drug‐loaded nanoparticles showed faster drug release in an acidic environment (pH 5) than in a neutral one. The controlled drug release of methylene blue and doxorubicin hydrochloride and the self‐decomposition of the drug carriers were successfully characterized by using TEM, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and confocal microscopy. Together with the nontoxicity and excellent biocompatibility of the copolymer/SiO₂ composite, the features of controlled drug release and simultaneous carrier self‐destruction provided a promising opportunity for designing various novel drug‐delivery systems.     

Quantum yield of photoenhanced currents in crystalline tetracene

Hydrogen‐Bonded Films for Zero‐Order Release of Leuprolide

Leuprolide has been widely used in androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, but its use is still limited due to its short half‐life. Herein, hydrogen‐bonded layer‐by‐layer films are fabricated from PEGylated leuprolide (PEG‐LEU) and tannic acid (TA). Because of its dynamic nature, the film disintegrates gradually in water and releases PEG‐LEU and TA. The in vitro release profile indicated perfect zero‐order kinetics, which is explained by the unique release mechanism. When implanted subcutaneously in male rats, the films maintain a constant serum drug level. For a 60‐bilayer film, the serum drug level is maintained constant for ≈24 days. No initial burst release is observed, suggesting that the in vivo release also follows zero‐order kinetics. Initially, an increase in the level of serum testosterone is induced by the released drug, followed by testosterone suppression to a constant level below the castrate level, which could be maintained as long as a constant serum drug level is maintained. Since the new drug carriers avoid an initial burst release of the drug and maintain a constant serum drug level and hence a constant serum testosterone level below the castrate level, these carriers are highly promising for androgen deprivation therapy.     

Synthesis of three-dimensional hydrogels based on poly(glycidyl methacrylate-alt-maleic anhydride): Characterization and study of furosemide drug release

In the present work, three-dimensional drug carriers were synthesized via chemical modification of poly (glycidyl methacrylate-alt-maleic anhydride) P(GMA-alt-MA) by isopropylamine (IPA) and ethylenediamine (EDA) with different molar ratios. Then furosemide drug (FR) was loaded on the hydrogels and studied for its slow release in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution (pH = 7.41) at 37 °C. According to the obtained results, the sample with the lowest amount of crosslinking agent (Sample A) showed the highest swelling ratio in comparison to the others. By increasing the rigidity of carrier in the result of increasing the crosslinker density, the amount of the released drug was decreased. However, the release rate for all of samples (slope of the profiles) were rather similar. All the synthesized carriers have shown pH dependent properties and the maximum release rate was shown in basic pH. Also, the drug release experiments in different temperatures showed almost thermal sensitivity properties for synthesized carriers and release rate become faster by increasing the medium temperature. The FT-IR, TGA, and FE-SEM analyses were carried out for characterization of prepared samples and the swelling behavior of prepared hydrogels were measured too. Investigation of the release data with different mathematical models showed the highest adaption with the Higuchi model for all samples.
