Elaboration of nanoparticles for theranostic applications : In vivo imaging and drug delivery
Elaboration de nanoparticules pour application thérapeutiques : Imagerie in vivo et vectorisation de médicaments: L’objectif de ce travail a été la préparation de nanoparticules pour l’administration intratumorale. Ladouble functionalisation de ces nanoparticules est rapidement approuve comme extrement intéressant, car ellespeuvent être utilisé pour le diagnostic in vivo et la thérapie (théranostics). Pour réaliser ce type desnanoparticules, l’oxyde de fer a été choisi comme agent de contraste pour une utilisation en imagerie parrésonance magnétique (IRM) pour le diagnostic de cellules cancéreuse. Les nanoparticules d’oxyde de fer ont étépréparées dans des milieux aqueux et organique. La méthode d’émulsification multiple suivie de l’évaporationde solvant a été utilisée pour l’encapsulation concomitante d’un principe actif et des nanoparticules de l’oxydede fer. Tous les paramètres affectant la taille des nanoparticules pendant le procédé ont été étudiés en utilisantune molécule active hydrophile modèle (une dérivative de la Stilbene) et le protocole standard a ensuite étéévalué. Dans une seconde étape, les particules d’oxyde de fer ont été encapsulées par la même méthoded’émulsion évaporation et entièrement caractérisées en termes de morphologie, taille, magnétisation, etcomposition chimique. La visualisation in vitro des particules modèles a été réalisée par IRM et comparée a unproduit commercial à base de Gadolinium (Gd). D’autre part, la quantité nécessaire d’oxyde de fer permettantune bonne visualisation par IRM a été déterminée par une étude in vivo menée sur des souris. Enfin la doubleencapsulation d’oxyde de fer avec une molécule anticancéreuse a été effectuée par la méthode développée, laformulation obtenue a été entièrement caractérisée.

Synovium targeted colchicine therapy using pH responsive nanoparticles
Conventional gout therapies are associated with severe systemic adverse effects, creating a need for sustained and targeted therapy. This research aimed to prepare Colchicine-EL-100-polymeric nanoparticles for pH-dependent release in gout. Molecular docking was performed to provide supportive insight into the COL-NLRP3 interaction. The nanoparticles were prepared and optimized using a Box-Behnken Design, characterized by FTIR, XRD, DSC, and FE-SEM. Incorporated into a characterized Carbopol934 hydrogel, it was evaluated for in vitro release, ex vivo permeation, and ex vivo fluorescence imaging. The nanoparticles were evaluated in an experimental MSU-induced gout model, along with biochemical and histopathological studies. Docking revealed favourable colchicine binding to NLRP3 (docking score of 39.3). Optimized nanoparticles exhibited favourable particle size (152 ± 2.8 nm) and zeta potential (-27.75 ± 0.25 mV), EE% (89.60 ± 0.3%), indicating physicochemical stability. FTIR showed no evidence of chemical incompatibility, XRD indicated amorphization, and DSC supported these findings. In vitro studies showed pH-dependent release (84.3 ± 2.67% at pH 6.8 vs. Ex vivo fluorescence imaging confirmed penetration (354 μm) within dermal layers with sponge-like restructuring of stratum corneum lipids. In vivo, the formulation reduced inflammation, with IL-6 suppression (92.5 ± 3.62 pg/mL vs. 495.23 ± 32.12 pg/mL). This formulation provides sustained, pH-responsive release and shows therapeutic potential for localized management of gout.
