Interaction of polyelectrolyte-shell cubosomes with serum albumin for triggering drug release in gastrointestinal cancer

Barbara V. Pimenta et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed a lipid-based nanostructure that can encapsulate drugs and release them in a controlled manner to improve bioavailability in oral administration. The nanostructure can interact strongly with serum albumin released in the stomach under gastric cancer conditions, promoting drug release.

Formation of particulate lipid lyotropic liquid crystalline nanocarriers using a microfluidic platform

Haitao Yu et al.

Summary: Non-lamellar lyotropic liquid crystal nanoparticles (LLCNPs) are gaining attention in drug delivery and nanomedicine. Traditional methods lack control and reproducibility in particle size distribution and are unsuitable for fragile therapeutics. A scalable, high-throughput strategy is urgently needed. A bottom-up approach was used to formulate LLCNPs with lower polydispersity compared to traditional top-down methods. The particle size could be controlled by varying the flow rate. Stable, drug-loaded cubosomes were successfully formulated using this method. This work promotes the use of LLCNPs in nanomedicine.

Uptake Dynamics of Cubosome Nanocarriers at Bacterial Surfaces and the Routes for Cargo Internalization

Brendan P. Dyett et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that self-assembled lipid nanocarriers of cubic symmetry have different uptake mechanisms in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. For Gram-positive bacteria, the nanocarriers adhere to the outer layers and slowly internalize, while for Gram-negative bacteria, they interact in two stages through fusion and diffusion. This unique fusion uptake mechanism allows rapid internalization by Gram-negative bacteria, reducing the need for high concentrations of antibiotics.

Cuboplex-Mediated Nonviral Delivery of Functional siRNA to Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells

Sampa Sarkar et al.

Summary: This study successfully encapsulated and transfected siRNA into CHO-GFP cells using cationic cubosomes, demonstrating their potential as a nonviral, controlled-release delivery vector for siRNA. The gene knockdown efficiency varied depending on the type of cationic lipid used, but all cubosomes maintained the same internal nanostructure.

Delivery of antimicrobial peptides to model membranes by cubosome nanocarriers

Brendan P. Dyett et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are effective against antibiotic resistant bacteria, but their effectiveness is hindered by low solubility, instability, and short half-life. Lipid nanocarriers like cubosomes can encapsulate and protect AMPs while showing promise in delivery applications. Studies show that cubosome-mediated delivery of AMPs leads to faster membrane disruption, influenced by cubosome charge and bilayer composition.

Paclitaxel loading in cationic liposome vectors is enhanced by replacement of oleoyl with linoleoyl tails with distinct lipid shapes

Yuhong Zhen et al.

Summary: By comparing cationic liposomes with different numbers of double bonds in their lipid tails, it was found that a higher number of double bonds could significantly increase the solubility of PTX. The efficacy of PTX-loaded CLs against cancer cells was not affected by changes in lipid tails, and toxicity of the carrier was low. Furthermore, PTX-loaded DLinTAP/DLinPC with more double bonds in the lipid tails showed approximately double the efficacy against melanoma cells.

Comparison of cubosomes and liposomes for the encapsulation and delivery of curcumin

Cuihua Chang et al.

Summary: Inverse bicontinuous cubic phase nanoparticles (cubosomes) have been investigated as delivery vehicles for curcumin, a compound with anti-cancer properties. The study found that the encapsulation efficiency of curcumin within cubosomes varied depending on nanoparticle architecture and curcumin concentration, with cubosomes showing potential for improving curcumin bioavailability and cytotoxicity against melanoma cell lines. These findings suggest the potential of cubosomes as delivery vehicles for curcumin and other poorly water-soluble drugs.
