[52Mn]Mn-BPPA-Trastuzumab: A Promising HER2-Specific PET Radiotracer.

This study aimed to develop a novel radiotracer using trastuzumab and the long-lived [52Mn]Mn isotope for HER2-targeted therapy selection and monitoring. A new Mn(II) chelator, BPPA, synthesized from a rigid bispyclen platform possessing a picolinate pendant arm, formed a stable and inert Mn(II) complex with favorable relaxation properties. BPPA was converted into a bifunctional chelator (BFC), conjugated to trastuzumab, and labeled with [52Mn]Mn isotope. In comparison to DOTA-GA-trastuzumab, the BPPA-trastuzumab conjugate exhibits a labeling efficiency with [52Mn]Mn approximately 2 orders of magnitude higher. In female CB17 SCID mice bearing 4T1 (HER2-) and MDA-MB-HER2+ (HER2+) xenografts, [52Mn]Mn-BPPA-trastuzumab demonstrated superior uptake in HER2+ cells on day 3, with a 3-4 fold difference observed on day 7. Overall, the hexadentate BPPA chelator proves to be exceptional in binding Mn(II). Upon coupling with trastuzumab as a BFC ligand, it becomes an excellent imaging probe for HER2-positive tumors. [52Mn]Mn-BPPA-trastuzumab enables an extended imaging time window and earlier detection of HER2-positive tumors with superior tumor-to-background contrast.

Investigating the Mechanism of Aluminum Fluoride Chelation.

Aluminum fluoride (AlF) complexes have been used over the past decade to incorporate [18F]fluoride into large biomolecules in a highly selective fashion by using relatively facile conditions. However, despite their widespread usage, there are a large number of variations in the reaction conditions, without a definitive discussion provided on the mechanism to understand how these changes would alter the end result. Herein, we report a detailed mechanistic investigation of the reaction, using a mixture of theoretical studies, fluorine-19 and fluorine-18 chemistry, and the consequences it has on the efficient clinical translation of AlF-containing imaging agents.

Coordination environment dependence of anticancer activity in cyclometalated bismuth(III) complexes with C,O-chelating ligands.

In this paper, a series of cyclometalated bismuth(III) complexes bearing C,O-bidentate ligands were synthesized and characterized by techniques such as UV-vis, NMR, HRMS, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Meanwhile, their cytotoxicities against various human cell lines, including colon cancer cells (HCT-116), breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), lung cancer cells (A549), gastric cancer cells (SGC-7901), and normal embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293) were assessed in vitro. Compared with the clinical cisplatin, most of the synthesized complexes possessed significantly higher degrees of anticancer activity and selectivity, giving a selectivity index of up to 71.3. The structure-activity relationship study revealed that the anticancer performance of these bismuth(III) species depends on the factors of coordination environment surrounding the metal center, such as coordination number, coordination bonding strength, lone 6s2 electron pair stereoactivity. The Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay results suggested that the coordination environment-dependent cytotoxicity is ascribable to apoptosis. Western blot analysis confirmed the proposal, as evidenced by the down-regulating level of Bcl-2 and the activation of caspase-3. Furthermore, the representative complexes Bi1, Bi4, Bi6, and Bi8 exhibited relatively lower inhibitory efficiency on human ovarian cancer cells (A2780) than on its cisplatin-resistant daughter cells (A2780/cis), thus demonstrating that such compounds are capable of circumventing the cisplatin-induced resistance. This investigation elucidated the excellent anticancer performance of C,O-coordinated bismuth(III) complexes and established the correlation between cytotoxic activity and coordination chemistry, which provides a practical basis for in-depth designing and developing bismuth-based chemotherapeutics.

Chiral Pyclen-Based Heptadentate Chelates as Highly Stable MRI Contrast Agents.

In recent years, pyclen-based complexes have attracted a great deal of interest as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) and luminescent materials, as well as radiopharmaceuticals. Remarkably, gadopiclenol, a Gd(III) bishydrated complex featuring a pyclen-based heptadentate ligand, received approval as a novel contrast agent for clinical MRI application in 2022. To maximize stability and efficiency, two novel chiral pyclen-based chelators and their complexes were developed in this study. Gd-X-PCTA-2 showed significant enhancements in both thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities compared to those of the achiral parent derivative Gd-PCTA. 1H NMRD profiles reveal that both chiral gadolinium complexes (Gd-X-PCTA-1 and Gd-X-PCTA-2) have a higher relaxivity than Gd-PCTA, while variable-temperature 17O NMR studies show that the two inner-sphere water molecules have distinct residence times τMa and τMb. Furthermore, in vivo imaging demonstrates that Gd-X-PCTA-2 enhances the signal in the heart and kidneys of the mice, and the chiral Gd complexes exhibit the ability to distinguish between tumors and normal tissues in a 4T1 mouse model more efficiently than that of the clinical agent gadobutrol. Biodistribution studies show that Gd-PCTA and Gd-X-PCTA-2 are primarily cleared by a renal pathway, with 24 h residues of Gd-X-PCTA-2 in the liver and kidney being lower than those of Gd-PCTA.

Synthesis and evaluation of novel trifunctional chelating agents for pretargeting approach using albumin binder to improve tumor accumulation.

INTRODUCTION: The pretargeting approach consists of in vivo ligation between pre-injected antibodies and low-molecular-weight radiolabeled effectors. The advantage of the pretargeting approach is to improve a tumor-to-background ratio, but the disadvantage is to compromise tumor accumulation. In this study, we applied albumin binder (ALB) to the pretargeting approach to overcome low tumor accumulation. METHODS: We synthesized two novel trifunctional effectors containing an ALB moiety, a chelator, and a different tetrazine and two corresponding effectors without an ALB moiety. Albumin-binding assays and stability assays were performed using 111In-labeled effectors. Measurements of reaction rate constant were conducted using 111In-labeled effectors and anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab modified by trans-cyclooctene, which drives the click reaction with tetrazine. Biodistribution studies using HER2-expressing tumor-bearing mice were performed with or without the pretargeting approach. RESULTS: In albumin-binding assays, ALB-containing effectors exhibited a marked binding to albumin. Two ALB-containing effectors showed the difference in the reactivity and the slight difference in the stability. In biodistribution studies without the pretargeting approach, two ALB-containing effectors showed different pharmacokinetics in blood retention. With the pretargeting approach, the tumor accumulation was improved by the introduction of ALB and the highest tumor accumulation was observed in using the ALB-containing effector with higher blood retention. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the application of ALB to the pretargeting approach is effective to improve tumor accumulation, and the structure of tetrazine influences the utility of ALB-containing effectors.

Promoting the Anticancer Activity with Multidentate Furan-2-Carboxamide Functionalized Aroyl Thiourea Chelation in Binuclear Half-Sandwich Ruthenium(II) Complexes.

A new set of binuclear arene ruthenium complexes [Ru2(p-cymene)2(k4-N2OS)(L1-L3)Cl2] (Ru2L1-Ru2L3) encompassing furan-2-carboxamide-based aroylthiourea derivatives (H2L1-H2L3) was synthesized and characterized by various spectral and analytical techniques. Single-crystal XRD analysis unveils the N^O and N^S mixed monobasic bidentate coordination of the ligands constructing N, S, Cl/N, O, and Cl legged piano stool octahedral geometry. DFT analysis demonstrates the predilection for the formation of stable arene ruthenium complexes. In vitro antiproliferative activity of the complexes was examined against human cervical (HeLa), breast (MCF-7), and lung (A549) cancerous and noncancerous monkey kidney epithelial (Vero) cells. All the complexes are more efficacious against HeLa and MCF-7 cells with low inhibitory doses (3.86-11.02 µM). Specifically, Ru2L3 incorporating p-cymene and -OCH3 fragments exhibits high lipophilicity, significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells, and lower toxicity on noncancerous cells. Staining analysis indicates the apoptosis-associated cell morphological changes expressively in MCF-7 cells. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) analyses reveal that Ru2L3 can raise ROS levels, reduce MMP, and trigger mitochondrial dysfunction-mediated apoptosis. The catalytic oxidation of glutathione (GSH) to its disulfide form (GSSG) by the complexes may simultaneously increase the ROS levels, alluding to their observed cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction. Flow cytometry determined the quantitative classification of late apoptosis and S-phase arrest in MCF-7 and HeLa cells. Western blotting analysis confirmed that the complexes promote apoptosis by upregulating Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 and downregulating BCL-2. Molecular docking studies unfolded the strong binding affinities of the complexes with VEGFR2, an angiogenic signaling receptor, and BCL2, Cyclin D1, and HER2 proteins typically overexpressed on tumor cells.

Cinnamic Acid: A Low-Toxicity Natural Bidentate Ligand for Uranium Decorporation.

Uranium accumulation in the kidneys and bones following internal contamination results in severe damage, emphasizing the pressing need for the discovery of actinide decorporation agents with efficient removal of uranium and low toxicity. In this work, cinnamic acid (3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid, CD), a natural aromatic carboxylic acid, is investigated as a potential uranium decorporation ligand. CD demonstrates markedly lower cytotoxicity than that of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), an actinide decorporation agent approved by the FDA, and effectively removes approximately 44.5% of uranyl from NRK-52E cells. More importantly, the results of the prompt administration of the CD solution remove 48.2 and 27.3% of uranyl from the kidneys and femurs of mice, respectively. Assessments of serum renal function reveal the potential of CD to ameliorate uranyl-induced renal injury. Furthermore, the single crystal of CD and uranyl compound (C9H7O2)2·UO2 (denoted as UO2-CD) reveals the formation of uranyl dimers as secondary building units. Thermodynamic analysis of the solution shows that CD coordinates with uranyl to form a 2:1 molar ratio complex at a physiological pH of 7.4. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further show that CD exhibits a significant 7-fold heightened affinity for uranyl binding in comparison to DTPA.

Synthesis and evaluation of novel 1,4,7-triazacyclononane derivatives as Cu2+ and Ga3+ chelators.

Advances in chelator design are the cornerstone for the development of metals like copper and gallium based biomedical agents and radiopharmaceuticals. To develop optimal chelating ligands, we explored the synthesis and chelating properties of azaheterocycle pendant armed 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (TACN) dimethylcarboxylate derivatives and dimethylphosphonate derivatives. In the complexation kinetics test, dicarboxylate pendant armed TACN derivatives 2,2'-(7-((1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-1,4,7-triazonane-1,4-diyl)diacetic acid (NODA-Im), 2,2'-(7-((1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-1,4,7-triazonane-1,4-diyl)diacetic acid (NODA-MeIm), and 2,2'-(7-(thiazol-2-ylmethyl)-1,4,7-triazonane-1,4-diyl)diacetic acid (NODA-Thia) exhibited fast complexation kinetics towards Cu (II) cations, which were comparable to the frequently explored ligand 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (NOTA). And the diphosphonate pendant armed TACN derivative ((7-(thiazol-2-ylmethyl)-1,4,7-triazonane-1,4-diyl)bis(methylene))bis(phosphonic acid) (NODP-Thia) bound with Ga (III) cations at a much faster rate than NOTA. Density functional theory studies confirmed that the better complexation kinetics and metal chelating efficiency of NODA-Im, NODA-MeIm, NODA-Thia, and NODP-Thia could be ascribed to the lower Gibbs energies of corresponding chelator-metal complexes than NOTA-metal complexes. The kinetic inertness of the Cu (II) complex with NODA-Im, NODA-MeIm, and NODA-Thia was also demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry studies. Subsequently radiolabeling experiment demonstrated that these metal chelators could efficiently labeled with 64Cu or 68Ga in good radiochemical purities. These preliminary findings support NODA-Im, NODA-MeIm, NODA-Thia, and NODP-Thia as promising leading chelating agents for the development of bifunctional Cu2+ and Ga3+ chelators in biomedical applications.

Keggin-type polyoxometalates as Cu(II) chelators in the context of Alzheimer's disease.

Two Keggin polyoxometalates were used as new copper ligands to counteract the effects of CuII(Amyloid-ß) interaction. Their ability to remove CuII from CuII(Amyloid-ß), to stop CuII(Amyloid-ß) induced formation of reactive oxygen species and to restore apo-like self-assembly of CuII(Amyloid-ß) was shown.

Design, Synthesis and Binding Affinity Evaluation of Cytochrome P450 1B1 Targeted Chelators.

BACKGROUND: Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) is specifically expressed in a variety of tumors which makes it a promising imaging target of tumor. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to design and synthesize CYP1B1 targeted chelators for the potential application in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of tumor. METHODS: 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4-diiacetic acid (NODA) was connected to the CYP1B1 selective inhibitor we developed before through polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers with different lengths. The inhibitory activities of chelators 6a-c against CYP1 family were evaluated by 7-ethoxyresorufin o-deethylation (EROD) assay. The manual docking between the chelators and the CYP1B1 was conducted subsequently. To determine the binding affinities of 6a-c to CYP1B1 in cells, we further performed a competition study at the cellular level. RESULTS: Among three chelators, 6a with the shortest linker showed the best inhibitory activity against CYP1B1. In the following molecular simulation study, protein-inhibitor complex of 6a showed the nearest F-heme distance which is consistent with the results of enzymatic assay. Finally, the cell based competitive assay proved the binding affinity of 6a-c to CYP1B1 enzyme. CONCLUSION: We designed and synthesized a series of chelators which can bind to CYP1B1 enzyme in cancer cells.To our knowledge, this work is the first attempt to construct CYP1B1 targeted chelators for radiolabeling and we hope it will prompt the application of CYP1B1 imaging in tumor detection.

Rational Design of a Cu Chelator That Mitigates Cu-Induced ROS Production by Amyloid Beta.

Alzheimer's disease severely perturbs transition metal homeostasis in the brain leading to the accumulation of excess metals in extracellular and intraneuronal locations. The amyloid beta protein binds these transition metals, ultimately causing severe oxidative stress in the brain. Metal chelation therapy is an approach to sequester metals from amyloid beta and relieve the oxidative stress. Here we have designed a mixed N/O donor Cu chelator inspired by the proposed ligand set of Cu in amyloid beta. We demonstrate that the chelator effectively removes Cu from amyloid beta and suppresses reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by redox silencing and radical scavenging both in vitro and in cellulo. The impact of ROS on the extent of oxidation of the different aggregated forms of the peptide is studied by mass spectrometry, which, along with other ROS assays, shows that the oligomers are pro-oxidants in nature. The aliphatic Leu34, which was previously unobserved, has been identified as a new oxidation site.

Synthetic Amphoteric Cryogels as an Antidote against Acute Heavy Metal Poisoning.

The effectiveness of an amphoteric cryogel (AAC) as an oral sorbent (enerosorbent) for the treatment of acute poisoning of small animals (rats) with heavy metals (HMs) was studied in in vivo experiments. The morphological structure of the cryogel was examined using scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and confocal microscopy. The use of the cryogel in the treatment of rats administered an LD50 dose of Cd(NO3)2, CsNO3, Sr(NO3)2, or HgCl2 in aqueous solution showed their high survival rate compared to the control group, which did not receive such treatment. The histological and chemical analysis of internal tissues and the biochemical analysis of the blood of the experimental animals showed the effectiveness of the cryogel in protecting the animals against the damaging effect of HMs on the organism comparable with unithiol, a chelating agent based on 2,3-dimercapto-1-propane sulfonic acid sodium salt (DMPS) approved for the treatment of acute poisoning with some heavy metals.

Biological Activity of Triazolopyrimidine Copper(II) Complexes Modulated by an Auxiliary N-N-Chelating Heterocycle Ligands.

Novel complexes of type [Cu(N-N)(dmtp)2(OH2)](ClO4)2·dmtp ((1) N-N: 2,2'-bipyridine; (2) L: 1,10-phenantroline and dmtp: 5,7-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine) were designed in order to obtain biologically active compounds. Complexes were characterized as mononuclear species that crystallized in the space group P-1 of the triclinic system with a square pyramidal geometry around the copper (II). In addition to the antiproliferative effect on murine melanoma B16 cells, complex (1) exhibited low toxicity on normal BJ cells and did not affect membrane integrity. Complex (2) proved to be a more potent antimicrobial in comparison with (1), but both compounds were more active in comparison with dmtp-both against planktonic cells and biofilms. A stronger antimicrobial and antibiofilm effect was noticed against the Gram-positive strains, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Both electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae studies indicated that the complexes were scavengers rather than reactive oxygen species promoters. Their DNA intercalating capacity was evidenced by modifications in both absorption and fluorescence spectra. Furthermore, both complexes exhibited nuclease-like activity, which increased in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.

Hybrid Chelator-Based PSMA Radiopharmaceuticals: Translational Approach.

(1) Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been extensively studied in the last decade. It became a promising biological target in the diagnosis and therapy of PSMA-expressing cancer diseases. Although there are several radiolabeled PSMA inhibitors available, the search for new compounds with improved pharmacokinetic properties and simplified synthesis is still ongoing. In this study, we developed PSMA ligands with two different hybrid chelators and a modified linker. Both compounds have displayed a promising pharmacokinetic profile. (2) Methods: DATA5m.SA.KuE and AAZTA5.SA.KuE were synthesized. DATA5m.SA.KuE was labeled with gallium-68 and radiochemical yields of various amounts of precursor at different temperatures were determined. Complex stability in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and human serum (HS) was examined at 37 °C. Binding affinity and internalization ratio were determined in in vitro assays using PSMA-positive LNCaP cells. Tumor accumulation and biodistribution were evaluated in vivo and ex vivo using an LNCaP Balb/c nude mouse model. All experiments were conducted with PSMA-11 as reference. (3) Results: DATA5m.SA.KuE was synthesized successfully. AAZTA5.SA.KuE was synthesized and labeled according to the literature. Radiolabeling of DATA5m.SA.KuE with gallium-68 was performed in ammonium acetate buffer (1 M, pH 5.5). High radiochemical yields (>98%) were obtained with 5 nmol at 70 °C, 15 nmol at 50 °C, and 60 nmol (50 µg) at room temperature. [68Ga]Ga-DATA5m.SA.KuE was stable in human serum as well as in PBS after 120 min. PSMA binding affinities of AAZTA5.SA.KuE and DATA5m.SA.KuE were in the nanomolar range. PSMA-specific internalization ratio was comparable to PSMA-11. In vivo and ex vivo studies of [177Lu]Lu-AAZTA5.SA.KuE, [44Sc]Sc-AAZTA5.SA.KuE and [68Ga]Ga-DATA5m.SA.KuE displayed specific accumulation in the tumor along with fast clearance and reduced off-target uptake. (4) Conclusions: Both KuE-conjugates showed promising properties especially in vivo allowing for translational theranostic use.

Salpyran: A Cu(II) Selective Chelator with Therapeutic Potential.

We report the rational design of a tunable Cu(II) chelating scaffold, 2-(((2-((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)ethyl)amino)methyl)phenol, Salpyran (HL). This tetradentate ligand is predicated to have suitable permeation, has an extremely high affinity for Cu compared to clioquinol (pCu7.4 = 10.65 vs 5.91), and exhibits excellent selectivity for Cu(II) over Zn(II) in aqueous media. Solid and solution studies corroborate the formation of a stable [Cu(II)L]+ monocationic species at physiological pH values (7.4). Its action as an antioxidant was tested in ascorbate, tau, and human prion protein assays, which reveal that Salpyran prevents the formation of reactive oxygen species from the binary Cu(II)/H2O2 system, demonstrating its potential use as a therapeutic small molecule metal chelator.

Solid-state and solution characterizations of [(TMPA)Cu(II)(SO3)] and [(TMPA)Cu(II)(S2O3)] complexes: Application to sulfite and thiosulfate fast detection.

Sulfite (SO32-) and thiosulfate (S2O32-) ions are used as food preservative and antichlor agent respectively. To detect low levels of such anions we used Cu(II) complex of the Tris-Methyl Pyridine Amine (TMPA) ligand, denoted L. Formation of [LCu(SO3)] (1) and [LCu(S2O3)] (2) in solution were monitored using UV-Vis, EPR and cyclic voltammetry, while the solid-state X-ray structures of both complexes were solved. In addition, we also evaluated the pH range in which the complexes are stable, and the anions binding affinity values for the [LCu(solvent)]2+ (3) parent complex. As a matter of illustration, we determined the sulfite content in a commercial crystal sugar.

Chelating Phosphine-N-Heterocyclic Carbene Platinum Complexes via Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrophosphination and Their Cytotoxicity Toward MKN74 and MCF7 Cancer Cell Lines.

A series of activated vinyl azoles was hydrophosphinated in the presence of a chiral palladacycle catalyst under mild conditions to give enantioenriched phosphine azoles with moderate enantioselectivities and yields. The racemic phosphine azoles were transformed into eleven novel chelating phosphine-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) platinum complexes. The drug efficacies of nine selected phosphine-NHC platinum(II) chlorides in two cancer cell lines (MKN74 and MCF7) were evaluated, and two were found to exhibit activities comparable to that of cisplatin.

Design of 99mTc-labeled zinc-chelating imaging probe for SPECT imaging of the pancreas.

Early and sensitive diagnosis of pancreatic diseases is a contemporary clinical challenge. Zinc level in pancreatic tissue and its secretion in pancreatic juice has long been considered a surrogate marker of pancreatic function. The objective of this study was to design a Zn-chelating imaging probe (ZCIP) which could be labeled with 99mTc radionuclide for imaging of pancreas using single photon emission tomography (SPECT). We synthesized ZCIP as a bifunctional chelate consisting of diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid for 99mTc-chelation at one end and bispicolylethylamine for Zn-complexation at the other end. ZCIP was labeled with 99mTc by standard Sn2+-based reduction method. The 99mTc-labeled ZCIP was studied in normal mice (0.3 mCi) for SPECT imaging. We found that ZCIP consistently labeled with 99mTc radionuclide with over 95% efficiency. Addition of ZCIP altered the spectrum of standard dithizone-Zn complex, indicating its ability to chelate Zn. SPECT data demonstrated the ability of 99mTc-ZCIP to image pancreas with high sensitivity in a non-invasive manner; liver and spleen were the other major organs of 99mTc-ZCIP uptake. Based on these results, we conclude that 99mTc-ZCIP presents as a novel radiotracer for pancreas imaging for diagnosis of diseases such as pancreatitis.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of naringenin carbamate derivatives as potential multifunctional agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

A series of naringenin derivatives were designed and synthesized as multifunctional anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) agents. The results showed that these derivatives displayed moderate-to-good acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitory activities at the micromolar range (IC50, 12.91 ~ 62.52 µM for AChE and 0.094 ~ 13.72 µM for BuChE). Specifically, compound 1 showed the highest inhibitory activity against BuChE with the IC50 value of (0.094 ± 0.0054) µM. A Lineweaver-Burk plot and molecular docking studies demonstrated that 1 targeted both the catalytically active site (CAS) and the peripheral anion site (PAS) of BuChE. Besides, all derivatives showed excellent hydroxyl free radicals (·OH) scavenging ability than vitamin C and cyclic voltammetry results displayed that 1 could effectively scavenge superoxide anion radical (·O2-). In addition, compound 1 displayed good metal chelating properties and had anti-Aß aggregation activities. Therefore, compound 1 might be the potential anti-AD agent for further developments.

Formulation design, optimization and in vivo evaluation of oral co-encapsulated resveratrol-humic acid colloidal polymeric nanocarriers.

The study aims at formulation and optimization of resveratrol and humic acid co-encapsulated colloidal polymeric nanocarriers to improve stability, oral bioavailability, and antiradical activity of water-insoluble, resveratrol. The eudragit E100 polymeric material was used to fabricate resveratrol and humic acid co-encapsulated oral colloidal polymeric nanocarriers (Res-HA-co-CPNs) using emulsification-diffusion-evaporation method. Taguchi orthogonal array design was employed to check the effect of formulation factors on in vitro physicochemical characteristics. The optimized formulation was further evaluated for oral bioavailability as well as for antiradical potential. Optimized Res-HA-co-CPNs demonstrated spherical and smooth surface including mean particle size, 120.56 ± 18.8 nm; polydispersity index, 0.122; zeta potential, +38.25 mV; and entrapment efficiency, 82.37 ± 1.49%. Solid-state characterization confirmed the amorphous characteristic of optimized Res-HA-co-CPNs. In vitro release profile of Res-HA-co-CPNs showed sustained release behavior up to 48 h and CPNs were found to remain stable at the refrigerated condition for 6 months. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies revealed significant (p < 0.05) improvement of ∼62.76-fold in oral bioavailability. The radical-scavenging activity was found to be increased with time and after 72 h, it was analogous to pure Res. IC50 values were reported to be decreased with time. Henceforth, developed Res-HA-co-CPNs was proven to be a proficient dosage form to increase stability, oral bioavailability, and antiradical activity of resveratrol.HighlightsResveratrol-humic acid co-encapsulated colloidal polymeric nanocarriers (Res-HA-co-CPNs) were fabricated by emulsification-diffusion-evaporation method and optimized by Taguchi orthogonal array design.The Res-HA-co-CPNs revealed favorable mean particle size and percent encapsulation efficiency with a spherical and smooth surface.The Res-HA-co-CPNs showed diffusion-controlled release of Res and were found to be stable at the refrigerated condition for 6 months.The optimized Res-HA-co-CPNs demonstrated significantly (p < 0.05) higher oral bioavailability with respect to pure Res and PM.The optimized Res-HA-co-CPNs demonstrated higher radical-scavenging activity with respect to time.
