Electrospinning has emerged as one of the potential techniques for producing nanofibers. The use of electrospun nanofibers in drug delivery has increased rapidly over recent years due to their valuable properties, which include a large surface area, high porosity, small pore size, superior mechanical properties, and ease of surface modification. A drug loaded nanofiber membrane can be prepared via electrospinning using a model drug and polymer solution; however, the release of the drug from the nanofiber membrane in a safe and controlled way is challenging as a result of the initial burst release. Employing a core-sheath design provides a promising solution for controlling the initial burst release. Numerous studies have reported on the preparation of core-sheath nanofibers by coaxial electrospinning for drug delivery applications. This paper summarizes the physical phenomena, the effects of various parameters in coaxial electrospinning, and the usefulness of core-sheath nanofibers in drug delivery. Furthermore, this report also highlights the future challenges involved in utilizing core-sheath nanofibers for drug delivery applications.

The challenges of formulating recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) into sustained-release polymeric microspheres include two mutual causal factors, protein denaturing by the formulation process and severe initial burst release related with relative high dose. The stabilizers to protect the proteins must not evoke osmotic pressure inside the microspheres, and the contact of the protein with the interface between water and organic solution of the polymer must be minimized. To meet these criteria, rhGH was pre-formulated into polysaccharide particles via an aqueous–aqueous emulsion in the present study, followed by encapsulating the particles into microspheres through a self-regulated process to minimize the contact of the protein with the water–oil interface. Polysaccharides as the protein stabilizer did not evoke osmotic pressure as small sugar stabilizers, the cause of severe initial burst release. Reduced initial burst enabled reduced protein loading to 9% (from 22% of the once commercialized Nutropin depot), which in turn reduced the dosage form index from 80 to 8.7 and eased the initial burst. A series of physical chemical characterizations as well as biologic and pharmacokinetic assays confirmed that the present method is practically feasible for preparing microspheres of proteins.

ABSTRACTElectrospinning is a versatile technique for fabricating three-dimensional (3D) nanofibrous scaffolds and the scaffolds have been found to elicit desirable cellular behavior for tissue regeneration because the nanofibrous structures mimic the nanofibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) of biological tissues. From the material point of view, the ECM of bone is a nanofibrous nanocomposite consisting of an organic matrix (mainly collagen) and inorganic bone apatite nanoparticles. Therefore, for bone tissue engineering scaffolds, it is natural to construct nanofibrous nanocomposites having a biodegradable polymer matrix and nanosized bioactive bioceramics. Our previous studies demonstrated: (1) electrospun nanocomposite fiber loaded with calcium phosphate (Ca-P) were osteoconductive and could promote osteoblastic cell proliferation and differentiation better than pure polymer fibers; (2) The controlled release of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP-2) from scaffolds provided the scaffolds with desired osteoinductivity. In the current investigation, novel bicomponent scaffolds for bone tissue engineering were produced using our established dual-source dual-power electrospinning technique to achieve both osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity. In the bicomponent scaffolds, one fibrous component was electrospun Ca-P/PLGA nanocomposite fibers and the other component was emulsion electrospun PDLLA nanofibers incorporated with rhBMP-2. Through electrospinning optimization, both fibers were evenly distributed in bicomponent scaffolds. The mass ratio of rhBMP-2/PDLLA fibers to Ca-P/PLGA fibers in bicomponent scaffolds could be controlled using multiple syringes. The structure and morphology of mono- and bicomponent scaffolds were examined. The in vitro release of rhBMP-2 from mono- and bicomponent scaffolds showed different release amount but similar release profile, exhibiting an initial burst release. Blending PDLLA with polyethylene glycol (PEG) could reduce the initial burst release of rhBMP-2.

Porous nanosilica (PNS) has been attracting a growing attention in fabrication of carriers for drug delivery system (DDS). However, unmodified PNS-based nanocarriers exhibit the initial burst release of encapsulated bioactive molecules, which may limit their potential clinical applications. In this report, the surface of PNS was conjugated with gelatin-poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether (GEL-mPEG) to form a core-shell structure PNS-GEL-mPEG for doxorubicin (DOX) delivery. The conjugated PNS carriers were found to be spherical in shape with diameter range of approximately 55-85 nm as compared with their parentally PNS (55-67 nm). The PNS-GEL-mPEG nanoparticles showed their ability to effectively encapsulate DOX for controlled release. In detail, DOX was efficiently loaded into the PNS-GEL-mPEG to form DOX-loaded nanocarriers (DOX@PNS-GEL-mPEG) with high loading efficiency (79.7%). The release of DOX from DOX@PNS-GEL-mPEG was prolonged and controlled up to 96 h in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4, 37 oC) without any initial burst release. These results demonstrated that this PNS-GEL-mPEG can be a potential candidate for controlled DDS with high loading capacity in cancer therapy

Currently, the treatment of osteomyelitis poses a great challenge to clinical orthopedics. The use of biodegradable materials combined with antibiotics provides a completely new option for the treatment of osteomyelitis. In this study, vancomycin hydrochloride (VANCO) loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres were prepared by a double emulsion solvent evaporation method, and the in vitro drug release behaviors of the drug loaded microspheres were explored after coating with different concentrations of silk fibroin (SF). Drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, Scanning electron microscopy, particle size analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hydrophilicity, in vitro drug release, and in vitro antibacterial activity were evaluated. The results showed that the drug loading of vancomycin loaded PLGA microspheres was (24.11 ±1.72)%, and the encapsulation efficiency was (48.21 ±3.44)%. The in vitro drug release indicated that the drug loaded microspheres showed an obvious initial burst release, and the drug loaded microspheres coated with SF could alleviate the initial burst release in varying degrees. It also can reduce the amount of cumulative drug release, and the effect of microspheres coated with 0.1% concentration of SF is the best. The time of in vitro drug release in different groups of drug loaded microspheres can be up to 28 days. The microspheres coated with (0.1%SF) or without (0%SF) SF showed a cumulative release of (82.50±3.51)% and (67.70±3.81)%,respectively. Therefore, the surface coating with SF of vancomycin loaded microspheres can alleviate the initial burst release, reduce the cumulative drug release, potentially prolong the drug action time, and improve the anti-infection effect.
