This work depicts the rational development (in-silico design, synthesis, characterization and in-vitro evaluation) of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels (PVAH) cross-linked with maleic acid (MA) and linked to γ-cyclodextrin molecules (γ-CDPVAHMA) as systems for the controlled and sustained release of nifedipine (NFD). Through computational studies, the structural blocks (PVA chain + dicarboxylic acid + γ-CD) of 20 different hydrogels were evaluated to test their interaction energies (ΔE) with NFD. According to the ΔE obtained, the hydrogel cross-linked with maleic acid was selected. To characterize the intermolecular interactions between NFD and γ-CDPVAHMA, molecular dynamics simulation studies were carried out. Experimentally, three hydrogel formulations with different proportions of γ-CD (2.43%, 3.61% and 4.76%) were synthesized and characterized. Both loading and release of NFD from the hydrogels were evaluated at acid and basic pH. The computational and experimental results show that γ-CDs linked to the hydrogels were able to form 1:1 inclusion complexes with NFD molecules. Finally, γ-CDPVAHMA-3 demonstrated to be the best pH-sensitive release platform for nifedipine. Its effectiveness could significantly reduce the adverse effects caused by the anticipated release of NFD in the stomach of patients.

Perovskite oxynitrides are an established class of photocatalyst materials for water splitting. Previous computational studies have primarily focused on their bulk properties and have drawn relevant conclusions on their light absorption and charge transport properties. The actual catalytic conversions, however, occur on their surfaces and a detailed knowledge of the atomic-scale structure and processes on oxynitride surfaces is indispensable to further improve these materials. In this contribution, we summarize recent progress made in the understanding of perovskite oxynitride surfaces, highlight key processes that set these materials apart from their pure oxide counterparts and discuss challenges and possible future directions for research on oxynitrides.
