Plasma protein adsorption and biological identity of systemically administered nanoparticles

Although a variety of nanoparticles (NPs) have been used for drug delivery applications, their surfaces are immediately covered by plasma protein corona upon systemic administration. As a result, the adsorbed proteins create a unique biological identity of the NPs that lead to unpredictable performance. The protein corona on NPs could also impede active targeting, induce off-target effects, trigger particle clearance and even provoke toxicity. This article reviews the fundamentals of NP–plasma protein interaction, the consequences of the interactions, and provides insights into the correlations of protein corona with biodistribution and cellular delivery. We hope that this review will trigger additional questions and possible solutions that lead to more favorable developments in NP-based targeted delivery systems. </jats:p

Formulation and Evaluation of Naproxen Emulgel for Topical Delivery

Topical conveyance of medications can be accomplished by fusing drug into the gel network for viable conveyance of medications. NSAIDs are non-steroidal medications having superb mitigating and pain-relieving action however NSAIDs produces GIT ulceration, liver and kidney inconvenience particularly if there should be an occurrence of oral organization. Hydrophilic polymers like carbopol-940 and HPMC K100 were used in an attempt to develop topical Emulgel formulations of Naproxen Evaluation tests for visual appearance, pH, consistency, spreadability test, in vitro prescription arrival of, in vivo medication release were performed. In vitro drug release ponders were finished by using Franz spread cell utilizing dialysis layer. The impacts of polymer, oil, surfactant and co surfactant piece on the rate of In vitro and in vivo medication discharge from the gel definitions were inspected through rodent stomach skin mounting on Franz dispersion cell at 37 ± 0.5oC. No conspicuous changes in physicochemical properties of definition were seen after its presentation to quickened states of temperature (40 ± 2oC) and mugginess conditions (75 ± 5% RH). Spreadability, pH and thickness esteems were observed to be marginally changed yet were tantamount with beginning qualities and the strength of the detailing was observed to be unaffected. The gel detailing, (F4) was observed to be reasonable for topical application dependent on in-vitro assessment and in-vivo pervasion thinks about. The optimized formulation, F4 was found to have great patient consistence on account of its simplicity of spreadability and the treatment was observed to be improved as the penetrability of the medication was enhanced.</jats:p

Role of vitronectin-rich protein corona on tumor-specific siRNA delivery and transfection with lipid nanoparticles

Aim: To evaluate the role of vitronectin-enriched protein corona on systemic delivery of siRNA-encapsulated cationic lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to αvβ3 integrin expressing solid tumors. Materials &amp; methods: 1,2-Dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane LNPs were formulated, protein corona formed in nude mice serum and its impact on drug delivery were analyzed. Results: 1,2-Dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane-containing LNP led to enhanced recruitment of vitronectin and showed preferential transfection to αvβ3-expressed cells relative to controls. Upon systemic administration in mice, the LNPs accumulated in the αvβ3-expressing endothelial lining of the tumor blood vessels before reaching tumor cells. Conclusion: These results present an optimized LNP that selectively recruits endogenous proteins in situ to its corona which may lead to enhanced delivery and transfection in tissues of interest. </jats:p
