AbstractBotulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), produced by Clostridium botulinum, is generally known to be the most poisonous of all biological toxins. In this study, we evaluate the protection conferred by intratracheal (i.t.) inoculation immunization with recombinant Hc subunit (AHc) vaccines against aerosolized BoNT/A intoxication. Three AHc vaccine formulations, i.e., conventional liquid, dry powder produced by spray freeze drying, and AHc dry powder reconstituted in water are prepared, and mice are immunized via i.t. inoculation or subcutaneous (s.c.) injection. Compared with s.c.-AHc-immunized mice, i.t.-AHc-immunized mice exhibit a slightly stronger protection against a challenge with 30,000× LD50 aerosolized BoNT/A. Of note, only i.t.-AHc induces a significantly higher level of toxin-neutralizing mucosal secretory IgA (SIgA) production in the bronchoalveolar lavage of mice. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that the immune protection conferred by the three formulations of AHc is comparable, while i.t. immunization of AHc is superior to s.c. immunization against aerosolized BoNT/A intoxication.

Β Carotene

The goal of the present work is to find a suitable method for developing β-carotene aerosols by varying core (active material) to wall (excipient) ratios (1:10, 1:25, and 1:50). For this, spray freeze drying (SFD) and spray drying (SD) techniques were adopted to develop aerosols. The results revealed that aerosols from SFD had low density and free-flowing behavior; whereas, SD samples were cohesive. SFD aerosols were porous and SD samples had smooth structures, with sizes of 8.3 to 9.3 and 9.3 to 9.6 µm, respectively. All formulations exhibited good mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMADt) of 3.75 to 6.96 µm and % emitted dosage was found higher in SFD aerosols (around 57 to 60%). Release of β-carotene through the in-vitro study was found higher in SFD samples and controlled release was observed in 1:50 formulation. In 12 h release, around 64% and 74% contents were released from SD and SFD aerosol samples, respectively. Particle density, size, and morphology strongly affect particle deposition in the lungs’ and this approach can be conveniently scale-up for pulmonary supplementation of food bioactive compounds.
