As a pH-sensitive nanomaterial, Eudragit S100 has good colon targeting. However, little research has been carried out on its mesoscopic scale. In this paper, the self-assembly behavior of Pulsatilla saponins D (PSD) and Eudragit S100, as well as the loading and release mechanism of PSD, was investigated via computer simulations. The effects of the self-assembly characteristics of PSD and Eudragit S100 in the dry powder state on the drug-carrier ratio were explored by the coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) method. According to the pH-responsive feature of Eudragit S100, the drug protection under gastric pH conditions and release in colonic pH conditions were simulated through the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method, which has provided insights into the microscopic morphological changes in the pH-sensitive drug delivery systems.

Polylactide (PLA) is among the most common biodegradable polymers, with applications in various fields, such as renewable and biomedical industries. PLA features poly(D-lactic acid) (PDLA) and poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) enantiomers, which form stereocomplex crystals through racemic blending. PLA emerged as a promising material owing to its sustainable, eco-friendly, and fully biodegradable properties. Nevertheless, PLA still has a low applicability for drug delivery as a carrier and scaffold. Stereocomplex PLA (sc-PLA) exhibits substantially improved mechanical and physical strength compared to the homopolymer, overcoming these limitations. Recently, numerous studies have reported the use of sc-PLA as a drug carrier through encapsulation of various drugs, proteins, and secondary molecules by various processes including micelle formation, self-assembly, emulsion, and inkjet printing. However, concerns such as low loading capacity, weak stability of hydrophilic contents, and non-sustainable release behavior remain. This review focuses on various strategies to overcome the current challenges of sc-PLA in drug delivery systems and biomedical applications in three critical fields, namely anti-cancer therapy, tissue engineering, and anti-microbial activity. Furthermore, the excellent potential of sc-PLA as a next-generation polymeric material is discussed.

Chitosan is a kind of natural polymer commonly applied for nanomaterials, which is affluent in nature with favorable biodegradability and biocompatibility and free of toxicity or odor. In clinic it can be used as a drug carrier for the treatment of cancer, and also it is a kind of new pharmaceutical excipient. To prepare chitosan nanomaterial, various method are used, such as ionic crosslinking, covalent crosslinking, precipitation, free radical polymerization, reverse micelle, spray drying, and self-assembly. Furthermore, plenty of anti-tumor drugs, including adriamycin, epirubicin, taxol, 5-fluorouracil, norcantharidin, folic acid, and so on, are also attempted to load on these chitosan nanocarriers. In addition, the mechanism for those nanocarriers carrying anti-tumor drugs acting on tumor cell were explored, and the formulation mainly include electric charge adhesion effect, suppressing the proliferation of tumor cells, adjusting or enhancing immune ability of the body and inducing apoptosis. This paper compared the characteristics of different preparation methods on chitosan as a nanodrug carrier, summarized the types of packaged drugs, analyzed the mechanism of the chitosan as nanodrug carriers. It can provide valuable reference for researchers' further work.
