Shikonin (SHK), an herbal extract from Chinese medicine, shows promise in treating ovarian cancer by inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, its clinical use is limited by poor tumor targeting and low bioavailability, and its therapeutic potential is further compromised by the elevated levels of antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH) within tumor cells. In this study, a novel formulation of ROS-responsive micelles loaded with SHK was developed using hyaluronic acid-phenylboronic acid pinacol ester conjugation (HA-PBAP) for targeted therapy of ovarian cancer through disruption of intracellular redox homeostasis. The SHK@HA-PBAP exhibits targeted delivery to ovarian cancer cells through the interaction between HA and CD44 receptors. Upon internalization by cancer cells, the high levels of intracellular ROS triggered the degradation of SHK@HA-PBAP and simultaneously released SHK and generated GSH scavenger quinone methide (QM). The SHK and QM released from the SHK@HA-PBAP effectively induce the production of ROS and deplete intracellular GSH, leading to the disruption of intracellular redox homeostasis and subsequent induction of cell death. These characteristics collectively inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer. In vitro and <em>in vivo</em> studies have demonstrated that SHK@HA-PBAP micelles exhibit superior antitumor efficacy compared to free SHK in both A2780 cells and A2780 tumor-bearing mice. The ROS-responsive SHK@HA-PBA presents a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of ovarian cancer.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12024,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics","volume":"204 ","pages":"Article 114525"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142380354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, 54 stabilizers were screened simultaneously in a high-throughput manner with the help of AR technology to fully explore the optimal prescription space of tetrandrine nanosuspension (Tet-NS). The Plackett-Burman design was used to screen for critical variables severely affecting the quality of Tet-NS. The Box-Behnken design was used to investigate and optimize critical variables to obtain optimal nanosuspensions. The optimal prescription was successfully scaled up by 100 times, which was the initial exploration of its commercial scale production. Solidification studies have shown that formulations with 2.44% fructose as the cryoprotectant have excellent redispersibility. Compared with pure Tet, Tet in Tet-NS showed a significant increase in solubility and dissolution rate in water. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) demonstrated that no significant interactions occurred between the drug and excipients in Tet-NS. Powder x-ray diffraction analysis (PXRD) indicated that some of the Tet transformed into amorphous state during the preparation process. In short-term stability study, Tet-NS successfully maintained its physical stability. In summary, under the guidance of the QbD concept, this study rapidly developed Tet-NS using acoustic resonance technology, which can effectively improve the solubility and dissolution properties of Tet. During the development of Tet-NS, AR technology has demonstrated high particle size reduction capability, the ability to process multiple sets of formulations in parallel, and excellent scale-up capability.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have proven to be an effective strategy against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, given their capacity to swiftly disrupt microorganism membranes and alter cell morphology.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) stands out as a widely utilized approach in combating antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, boasting high efficiency and non-invasive benefits. To enhance the stability and antibacterial efficacy of AMPs, a novel approach involving the combination of AMPs and PTT has been proposed.

The encapsulated CuS NPs exhibit notable photothermal properties upon exposure to near-infrared radiation. This induces the cleavage of ZIF-8, facilitating the release of At10, which effectively targets bacterial membranes to exert its antibacterial effects. Bacteria treated with At10/CuS@ZIF-8 under light radiation exhibited not only membrane folding and intracellular matrix outflow but also bacterial fracture. This synergistic antibacterial strategy, integrating the unique properties of AMPs, CuS NPs, and pH responsiveness of ZIF-8, holds promising potential for widespread application in the treatment of bacterial infections.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12024,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics","volume":"204 ","pages":"Article 114516"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142344201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microneedles are shorter than hypodermic needles and therefore minimize contact with pain receptors in deeper skin layers. But the differences in anatomical and physiological characteristics of dermis and subcutis can potentially result in varying protein penetration through the skin, absorption, and metabolism. This review summarizes pharmacokinetic studies that compare the administration of protein therapeutics by subcutaneous injections and different types of microneedles intradermally including hollow, dissolvable, coated, and hydrogel-forming microneedles. Across animal and human studies, hollow microneedle delivery resulted in quicker and higher peak plasma levels of proteins and comparable bioavailability to subcutaneous injections potentially due to the extensive network of lymphatic and blood vessels in the dermis. In case of dissolvable and coated microneedles, drug release kinetics depend on component materials. The dissolution of polymer excipients can slow the release and permeation of protein therapeutics at the administration site and thereby delay absorption. The understanding of drug penetration through different skin layers, its absorption into blood capillaries or lymphatics, and dermal metabolism remains limited. Additionally, the effects of these processes on the differences in pharmacokinetic profiles of proteins following intradermal microneedle administration are not well understood.
