    Abstract The progress in human disease treatment can be greatly advanced through the implementation of nanomedicine. This approach involves targeted and cell-specific therapy, controlled drug release, personalized dosage forms, wearable drug delivery, and companion diagnostics. By integrating cutting-edge technologies with drug delivery systems, greater precision can be achieved at the tissue and cellular levels through the use of stimuli-responsive nanoparticles, and the development of electrochemical sensor systems. This precision targeting - by virtue of nanotechnology - allows for therapy to be directed specifically to affected tissues while greatly reducing side effects on healthy tissues. As such, nanomedicine has the potential to transform the treatment of conditions such as cancer, genetic diseases, and chronic illnesses by facilitating precise and cell-specific drug delivery. Additionally, personalized dosage forms and wearable devices offer the ability to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each patient, thereby increasing therapeutic effectiveness and compliance. Companion diagnostics further enable efficient monitoring of treatment response, enabling customized adjustments to the treatment plan. The question of whether all the potential therapeutic approaches outlined here are viable alternatives to current treatments is also discussed. In general, the application of nanotechnology in the field of biomedicine may provide a strong alternative to existing treatments for several reasons. In this review, we aim to present evidence that, although in early stages, fully merging advanced technology with innovative drug delivery shows promise for successful implementation across various disease areas, including cancer and genetic or chronic diseases.

    Abstract Biological membrane-engineered lipid nanoparticles (LNP) have shown enormous potential as vehicles for drug delivery due to their outstanding biomimetic properties. To make these nanoparticles more adaptable to complex biological systems, several methods and cellular sources have been adopted to introduce biomembrane-derived moieties onto LNP and provide the latter with more functions while preserving their intrinsic nature. In this review, we focus on LNP decoration with specific regard to mRNA therapeutics and vaccines. The bio-engineering approach exploits a variety of biomembranes for functionalization, such as those derived from red blood cells, white blood cells, cancer cells, platelets, exosomes, and others. Biomembrane engineering could greatly enhance efficiency in targeted drug delivery, treatment, and diagnosis of cancer, inflammation, immunological diseases, and a variety of pathologic conditions. These membrane-modification techniques are expected to advance biomembrane-derived LNP into wider applications in the future.

    Abstract Developing therapeutics for inflammatory diseases is challenging due to physiological mucosal barriers, systemic side effects, and the local microbiota. In the search for novel methods to overcome some of these problems, drug delivery systems that improve tissue-targeted drug delivery and modulate the microbiota are highly desirable. Microbial metabolites are known to regulate immune responses, an observation that has resulted in important conceptual advances in areas such as metabolite pharmacology and metabolite therapeutics. Indeed, the doctrine of "one molecule, one target, one disease" that has dominated the pharmaceutical industry in the 20th century is being replaced by developing therapeutics which simultaneously manipulate multiple targets through novel formulation approaches, including the multitarget-directed ligands. Thus, metabolites may not only represent biomarkers for disease development, but also, being causally linked to human diseases, an unexploited source of therapeutics. We have shown the successful exploitation of this approach: by deciphering how signaling molecules, such as the microbial metabolite, indole-3-aldehyde, and the repurposed drug anakinra, interact with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor may pave the way for novel therapeutics in inflammatory human diseases, for the realization of which drug delivery platforms are instrumental.

    Abstract Biodegradable metal alloys may be successfully used to support bone repair, avoiding second surgery commonly needed when inert metal alloys are used. Combining a biodegradable metal alloy with a suitable pain relief agent could improve patient quality of life. AZ31 alloy was coated using a poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) polymer loaded with ketorolac tromethamine using the solvent casting method. The ketorolac release profile from the polymeric film and the coated AZ31 samples, the PLGA mass loss of polymeric film, and the cytotoxicity of the optimized coated alloy were assessed. The coated sample showed a ketorolac release that was prolonged for two weeks, which was slower than that of just the polymeric film, in simulated body fluid. PLGA mass loss was complete after a 45-day immersion in simulated body fluid. The PLGA coating was able to lower AZ31 and ketorolac tromethamine cytotoxicity observed in human osteoblasts. PLGA coating also prevents AZ31 cytotoxicity, which was identified in human fibroblasts. Therefore, PLGA was able to control ketorolac release and protect AZ31 from premature corrosion. These characteristics allow us to hypothesize that the use of ketorolac tromethamine-loaded PLGA coating on AZ31 in the management of bone fractures can favor osteosynthesis and relief pain.

    Abstract Oral medicines represent the largest pharmaceutical market area. To achieve a therapeutic effect, a drug must penetrate the intestinal walls, the main absorption site for orally delivered active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Indeed, predicting drug absorption can facilitate candidate screening and reduce time to market. Algorithms are available with good prediction accuracy that however focus only on solubility. In this work, we focused on drug permeability looking at human intestinal absorption as a marker for intestinal bioavailability. Being of considerable therapeutic relevance, APIs with serotonergic activity were selected as a dataset. Due to process complexity, experimental data scarcity, and variability, we turned toward an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system, which is a hierarchical combination of classification and regression models. This combination of seemingly two models into a single system widens the space of molecules classified as highly permeable with high accuracy. The specialized and optimized system enables in silico and structure-based prediction with a high degree of certainty. Predictions in external validation allowed correct selection of the 38% of highly permeable molecules without any false positives. The proposed system based on AI represents a promising tool useful for oral drug screening at an early stage of drug discovery and development. Datasets and the obtained models are available on the GitHub platform (https://github.com/nczub/HIA_5-HT).

    Abstract An increasing number of clinical studies worldwide are investigating the repurposing of antiviral, immune-modulatory, and anti-inflammatory agents to face the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Nevertheless, few effective therapies exist to prevent or treat COVID-19, which demands increased drug discovery and repurposing efforts. In fact, many currently tested drugs show unknown efficacy and unpredictable drug interactions, such that interventions are needed to guarantee access to effective and safe medicines. Anti-inflammatory therapy has proven to be effective in preventing further injury in COVID-19 patients, but the benefit comes at a cost, as targeting inflammatory pathways can imply an increased risk of infection. Thus, optimization of the risk/benefit ratio is required in the anti-inflammatory strategy against COVID-19, which accounts for drug formulations and delivery towards regionalization and personalization of treatment approaches. In this perspective, we discuss how better knowledge of endogenous immunomodulatory pathways may optimize the clinical use of novel and repurposed drugs against COVID-19 in inpatient, outpatient, and home settings through innovative drug discovery, appropriate drug delivery systems and dedicated molecular pharmaceutics.

    Abstract Co-evolution of the microbial communities with the mammalian host has resulted in intertwined metabolic pathways ultimately affecting physiological and pathological processes. Tryptophan derivatives of host and microbial origin are emblematic of this metabolic promiscuity. One such metabolite, indole-3-aldehyde (3-IAld), is produced by the gut microbiota and was originally identified for its ability to promote epithelial barrier functions by working as an agonist of the Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor. This original observation has been extended in the recent years to include a plethora of activities in several pathological conditions. In this review, we describe the multifaceted role of 3-IAld in host physiology, pathology and immunity and discuss how its proper clinical development may turn into a valuable therapeutic strategy.
