Natural polymers, such as wheat gliadin, have been investigated for their potential to deliver active compounds due to their biocompatibility and low cost. In this study, gliadin nanoparticles were stabilized using an oleyl ether-based emulsifier, resulting in spherical nanosystems with a narrow size distribution. The nanosystems showed promise in retaining and releasing both hydrophilic and lipophilic model compounds in a controlled manner, making them suitable carriers for various active compounds.
Natural polymers have been widely investigated as materials for the delivery of active compounds as a consequence of their biocompatibility, low-cost and the opportunity they furnish to obtain micro- and nanostructures. In this investigation, commercial wheat gliadin was used as raw material with the aim of obtaining a vegetal protein-based nanoformulation to be used for various applications. The influence of non-ionic and anionic surfactants on the physico-chemical properties of gliadin nanoparticles was evaluated in order to propose a suitable candidate able to stabilize the colloidal structure. The use of Super Refined polyoxyethylene (2) oleyl ether gave the best results, promoting the formation of spherical-shaped nanosystems with a narrow size distribution. The oleyl ether-based emulsifier prevented the destabilization of the colloidal systems when pH- and temperaturedependent stress was applied. A freeze-dried formulation was obtained when mannose was used as a cryoprotectant. Polyoxyethylene (2) oleyl ether-stabilized nanosystems were shown to retain and release both hydrophilic and lipophilic model compounds in a controlled manner. The cytotoxicity of the surfactant-free and polyoxyethylene (2) oleyl ether-stabilized gliadin based nanosystems was assessed on human cells, both normal and tumoural, in order to investigate the concentrations of particles that can be used during in vitro experiments. Polyoxyethylene (2) oleyl ether-stabilized gliadin-based nanosystems are promising carriers for the delivery of several active compounds.
