The inclusion and nanocluster formed in cyclodextrin-metal organic framework (CD-MOF) make it a remarkable vehicle in improving the solubility and bioavailability of insoluble drugs, but rarely in elongation of drug release kinetics. In this research, an insoluble compound, 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), encapsulated in CD-MOF (GA@nano-CD-MOF) had prominent effects in the treatment of bleomycin-induced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in rats with an enhanced bioavailability by 6.8 times. The solubility of GA@nano-CD-MOF was 7780 times higher than that of GA, which was explained by the solubility parameter of amorphous cells constructed in silico simulation. CD-MOF imparted GA unique biphasic release kinetics, namely, GA released instantly to 52% and slowly released to 100% for a period of 5 days, which made the drug loaded particles much more flexible in pharmaceutical applications. The distribution of GA molecules in CD-MOF and drug loading priority obtained by molecular docking illustrated the formation of biphasic release mode at the molecular level combined with other characterizations of SEM, PXRD, TGA and DSC. In conclusion, CD-MOF has a unique effect to simultaneously solubilize an insoluble drug and extend its release for days as payload in highly soluble particles of γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks, which broaden the applications of drugs in specific treatment and then enhance the therapeutic effects.

The objective of this study is to address the unanswered question whether sustained supersaturation generated from amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) formulated in insoluble hydrogel carriers will result in better bioavailability over that of spring-and-parachute type of dissolution profiles of ASDs formulated in water-soluble carriers. This was achieved by investigating the effects of supersaturation generation rates and doses on the extent of absorption (i.e.

The fluorescent imaging of pathologically accumulated β-amyloid (Aβ) proteins is of significant importance to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the paper, we prepared two new NIR probes, NIR-1 and NIR-2, through hydrophilic modification of introducing water-soluble bioactive groups such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and morpholine to tune in vivo pharmacokinetics for specific detection of soluble and insoluble Aβ species. The in vitro assessments confirm that both NIR-1 and NIR-2 display strong near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence (FL) enhancement upon association with Aβ42 monomers, oligomers or aggregates (λem > 670 nm) and show high sensitive, rapid and selective response towards Aβ42 species.

Background: Antibiotic resistance of many bacteria, including Methicillin-resistant (MRSA), has become a major threat to global health. Zinc Oxide Quantum dots (ZnO-QDs) show good antibacterial activity, but most of them are insoluble in water, limiting their application range, and there is a lack of research on drug resistance inducement.
Methods: The water-soluble zinc oxide quantum dots modified by APTES (ZnO@APTES QDs) were prepared by a microwave assisted synthesis.
