Hydrogel is a kind of attractive drug carriers because of its good biocompatibility and transparency. But traditional hydrogel showed some restrictions in its application in ocular drug delivery. A simple surface modification technique based on layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembled multilayer for ocular drug delivery was developed in this work. Polycarboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (poly(CM-β-CD))/poly-l-lysine (PLL) multilayer film was designed and constructed for ocular drug delivery, sinceβ-CD showed good drug delivery property. The properties such as the contact angle and transparency varied a little with the deposition of poly(CM-β-CD)/PLL multilayer. Orfloxacin and puerarin were loaded into multilayer during the self-assembly procedure by two methods, which were tracked by the largest drug absorbance of UV spectrum. The loaded drug amount by incorporating drugs into poly(CM-β-CD) solution was larger than that by incorporating drugs into PLL solution. The loaded drug in the multilayer could gradually be released from multilayer in some period either for orfloxacin or for puerarin. The drug release behavior was influenced by drug loading method and pH value of released medium. Moreover, the balanced released drug amount by incorporating drugs into poly(CM-β-CD) solution is much smaller than that by incorporating drugs into PLL solution.

Targeted drug delivery systems have currently demonstrated considerable potential clinical benefits in cancer treatment. Curcumin has become a candidate anti-tumor drug for the therapy of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) by increasing cell apoptosis and suppressing cell proliferation. In current research, we explored a novel targeted drug delivery system with a self-assembly measure by curcumin, MPEG-PLA and Fa-PEG-PLA. Compared with free curcumin and Cur/MPEG-PLA, Cur/Fa-PEG-PLA can remarkably suppress the growth of GL261 cells and promote apoptotic rate. Moreover, after the procession of tumor-bearing mice with curcumin/Fa-PEG-PLA complex, tumor growth in subcutaneous and intracranial tumor models were repressed via suppressing angiogenesis and facilitating apoptosis in vivo. The Curcumin/Fa-PEG-PLA nanoparticle may be a novel drug for the therapy of GBM.

Controlled drug delivery formulations have revolutionized treatments for a range of health conditions. Over decades of innovation, layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly has emerged as one of the most versatile fabrication methods used to develop multifunctional controlled drug release coatings. The numerous advantages of LbL include its ability to incorporate and preserve biological activity of therapeutic agents; coat multiple substrates of all scales (e.g., nanoparticles to implants); and exhibit tuned, targeted, and/or responsive drug release behavior. The functional behavior of LbL films can be related to their physicochemical properties. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the development of LbL-engineered biomaterials for drug delivery, demonstrating their potential in the fields of cancer therapy, microbial infection prevention and treatment, and directing cellular responses. We discuss the various advantages of LbL biomaterial design for a given application as demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo studies.
