The modular synthesis of the guanidine core by guanylation reactions using commercially available ZnEt
2 as a catalyst has been exploited as a tool for the rapid development of antitumoral guanidine candidates. Therefore, a series of phenyl-guanidines were straightforwardly obtained in very high yields. From the in vitro assessment of the antitumoral activity of such structurally diverse guanidines, the guanidine termed ACB3 has been identified as the lead compound of the series. Several biological assays, an estimation of AMDE values, and an uptake study using Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy were conducted to gain insight into the mechanism of action. Cell death apoptosis, induction of cell cycle arrest, and reduction in cell adhesion and colony formation have been demonstrated for the lead compound in the series. In this work, and as a proof of concept, we discuss the potential of the catalytic guanylation reactions for high-throughput testing and the rational design of guanidine-based cancer therapeutic agents.

[EN] A new delivery microdevice, based on hydrophobic oleic acid¿capped mesoporous silica particles and able to payload release in the presence of surfactants, has been developed. The oleic acid functionalization confers to the system a high hydrophobic character, which avoids cargo release unless surfactant molecules are present. The performance of this oleic¿acid capped microdevice in the presence of different surfactants is presented and its zero¿release operation in the absence of surfactants is demonstrated., The authors want to thank the Spanish Government (projects MAT2015-64139-C4-1-R, AGL2015-70235-C2-1-R and AGL2015-70235-C2-2-R (MINECO/FEDER)) and RTI2018-100910-B-C41, RTI2018-101599-B-C22 and RTI2018-101599-B-C21 (MCUI/AEI/FEDER, UE)) and Generalitat Valenciana (project PROMETEO/2018/024) for support.

The low toxicity and high adsorption capacities of clay minerals make them attractive for controlled delivery applications. However, the number of controlled-release studies in the literature using clay minerals is still scarce. In this work, three different clays from the smectite group (Kunipia F, montmorillonite; Sumecton SA, saponite; and Sumecton SWN, hectorite) were successfully loaded with rhodamine B dye and functionalized with oleic acid as a gatekeeper to produce organonanoclays for active and controlled payload-release. Moreover, hematin and cyanocobalamin have also been encapsulated in hectorite gated clay. These organonanoclays were able to confine the entrapped cargos in an aqueous environment, and effectively release them in the presence of surfactants (as bile salts). A controlled delivery of 49 ± 6 μg hematin/mg solid and 32.7 ± 1.5 μg cyanocobalamin/mg solid was reached. The cargo release profiles of all of the organonanoclays were adjusted to three different release-kinetic models, demonstrating the Korsmeyer–Peppas model with release dependence on (i) the organic–inorganic hybrid system, and (ii) the nature of loaded molecules and their interaction with the support. Furthermore, in vitro cell viability assays were carried out with Caco-2 cells, demonstrating that the organonanoclays are well tolerated by cells at particle concentrations of ca. 50 μg/mL.

[ES] La presente tesis doctoral, titulada "Microportadores inteligentes para la liberación controlada de sustancias de interés nutracéutico", se centra en el diseño y evaluación de sistemas híbridos orgánico-inorgánicos para proteger y liberar controladamente compuestos bioactivos. Dichos sistemas están basados en (i) materiales de sílice, principalmente partículas mesoporosas, como soporte inorgánico para almacenar y proteger la carga bioactiva; y (ii) una capa externa de biomoléculas como puerta molecular, que regula la liberación de la carga ante ciertos estímulos. En el primer capítulo de la tesis se describe el ácido oleico como puerta molecular. Este capítulo se subdivide en tres artículos diferentes, con distintos objetivos. En el primer artículo se emplea por primera vez el ácido oleico como puerta molecular de un soporte mesoporoso, cargado con la molécula modelo rodamina B. El material preparado es capaz de proteger la carga en las condiciones presentes en la boca y en el estómago, e inducir su liberación en el intestino con la acción surfactante de las sales biliares. El sistema se ha empleado para la liberación de vitamina B2, demostrando así la utilidad del diseño para la protección y liberación controlada de nutracéuticos. El segundo artículo evalúa la efectividad de esta puerta molecular en diferentes tipos de partículas mesoporosas de sílice, con diversos tamaños y estructuras de poro (MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15 y UVM-7). En todos los sistemas estudiados, la puerta molecular es capaz de mantener protegidas las moléculas cargadas, y liberarlas ante la presencia de sales biliares. El sólido basado en la estructura de UVM-7 se validó in vivo, observándose un retraso en la absorción intestinal de la rodamina gracias a su encapsulación. Por último, el tercer artículo incluido en este capítulo ha estudiado la posibilidad de incorporar puertas moleculares en filosilicatos. Se ha conseguido la protección y liberación controlada de biomoléculas de gran tamaño implicadas en el metabolismo humano (vitamina B12 y hematina) empleando filosilicatos funcionalizados con ácido oleico como puerta molecular. El segundo capítulo describe por primera vez el uso de la proteína zeína (prolamina de maíz) como puerta molecular. La presencia de la prolamina de maíz inhibe la salida de los compuestos antimicrobianos encapsulados (timol, carvacrol y cinamaldehído) liberándolos en presencia de las enzimas proteolíticas excretadas durante el crecimiento bacteriano. De todos los materiales desarrollados, el sistema cargado con cinamaldehído ha demostrado una inhibición del crecimiento de E. coli superior a la del compuesto libre. Finalmente, el tercer capítulo estudia la efectividad de la lactosa como puerta molecular para proteger aceites esenciales y liberarlos solo en las condiciones presentes en el intestino. Se han preparado tres materiales diferentes basados en MCM-41, cargados con timol, eugenol y cinamaldehído, y funcionalizados con lactosa para inhibir la salida de los compuestos. La acción enzimática de la lactasa secretada en el intestino es capaz de hidrolizar la puerta molecular en los correspondientes monosacáridos, liberando la carga a lo largo del lumen intestinal. Los microdispositivos diseñados han sido validados in vitro con células Caco-2, donde se ha observado el aumento de la capacidad citotóxica del cinamaldehído y la disminución de la permeabilidad a través del modelo de membrana intestinal gracias a su encapsulación. Finalmente, el microdispositivo cargado con cinamaldehído se ha validado in vivo ratificándose la disminución de la permeabilidad del compuesto y su mayor permanencia en el lumen intestinal. Así, la presente tesis doctoral ha demostrado la posibilidad de emplear biomoléculas sencillas de grado alimentario como puertas moleculares sobre diversos materiales de sílice. Estos nuevos sistemas han permitido proteger y liberar control, [CA] La present tesi doctoral, titulada "Microportadors intel·ligents per a l'alliberament controlat de substàncies d'interès nutracèutic", se centra en el disseny i avaluació de sistemes híbrids orgànic-inorgànics per a la protecció i alliberament controlat de compostos bioactius. Aquests sistemes estan basats en (i) materials de sílice, principalment partícules mesoporoses, com a suport inorgànic per emmagatzemar i protegir la càrrega bioactiva; i (ii) una capa externa de biomolècules com a porta molecular, que regula l'alliberament d'aquesta càrrega davant de determinats estímuls. En el primer capítol de la tesi es descriu l'àcid oleic com a porta molecular. Aquest capítol se subdivideix en tres articles diferents, amb objectius diferents. En el primer article s'empra per primera vegada l'àcid oleic com a porta molecular d'un suport mesoporós, carregat amb la molècula model rodamina B. El material preparat és capaç de protegir la càrrega en les condicions presents a la boca i a l'estómac, i induir el seu alliberament a l'intestí amb l'acció surfactant de les sals biliars. El sistema s'ha emprat per a l'alliberament de vitamina B2, demostrant així la utilitat del disseny per a la protecció i alliberament controlat de nutracèutics. El segon article avalua l'efectivitat d'aquesta porta molecular en diferents tipus de partícules mesoporoses de sílice, amb diverses mides i estructures de porus (MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15 i UVM-7). En tots els sistemes estudiats, la porta molecular és capaç de mantindre protegides les molècules carregades, i alliberar-les davant la presència de sals biliars. El sòlid basat en l'estructura de UVM-7 es validà in vivo, observant-se un retard en l'absorció intestinal de la rodamina gràcies a la seua encapsulació. Finalment, en el tercer article inclòs en aquest capítol s'ha estudiat la possibilitat d'incorporar portes moleculars en fil·losilicats. S'ha aconseguit la protecció i alliberament controlat de biomolècules de grans dimensions implicades en el metabolisme humà (vitamina B12 i hematina) emprant fil·losilicats funcionalitzats amb àcid oleic com a porta molecular. El segon capítol descriu per primera vegada l'ús de la proteïna zeïna (prolamina de dacsa) com a porta molecular. La presència de la prolamina de dacsa inhibeix la sortida dels compostos antimicrobians encapsulats (timol, carvacrol i cinamaldèhid) alliberant-los en presència dels enzims proteolítics excretades durant el creixement bacterià. De tots els materials desenvolupats, el sistema carregat amb cinamaldèhid ha demostrat una inhibició de l'creixement d'E. coli superior a la del compost lliure. Finalment, el tercer capítol estudia l'efectivitat de la lactosa com a porta molecular per protegir olis essencials i alliberar-los només en les condicions presents a l'intestí. S'han preparat tres materials diferents basats en MCM-41, carregats amb timol, eugenol i cinamaldèhid, i funcionalitzats amb lactosa per inhibir l'eixida dels compostos. L'acció enzimàtica de la lactasa secretada a l'intestí és capaç d'hidrolitzar la porta molecular en els corresponents monosacàrids, alliberant la càrrega al llarg del lumen intestinal. Els microdispositius dissenyats s'han validat in vitro amb cèl·lules Caco-2, on s'observà l'augment de la capacitat citotòxica del cinamaldèhid i la disminució de la permeabilitat a través del model de membrana intestinal gràcies a la seua encapsulació. Finalment, el microdispositiu carregat amb cinamaldèhid s'ha validat in vivo ratificant la disminució de la permeabilitat del compost i la seua major permanència al lumen intestinal. Així, la present tesi doctoral ha demostrat la possibilitat d'emprar biomolècules senzilles de grau alimentari com portes moleculars sobre diversos materials de sílice. Aquests nous sistemes han permès protegir i alliberar controladament diferents nutracèutics, millorant així la seua biodisponibilitat., [EN] This PhD thesis, entitled "Smart microdevices for nutraceutical-delivery", is focused on the design and evaluation of organic-inorganic hybrid systems for the protection and controlled release of bioactive molecules. These systems are based on (i) silica materials, mainly mesoporous particles, as inorganic support to store and protect the bioactive cargo; and (ii) an outer layer of biomolecules that regulate the payload release triggered by certain stimuli. In the first chapter of the thesis oleic acid is described as a molecular gate. This chapter is subdivided into three different articles, with different objectives. In the first article, oleic acid is used for the first time as molecular gate of a mesoporous support, loaded with the rhodamine B model molecule. The designed material is capable of protecting the cargo under the conditions present in the mouth and stomach, and inducing its release in the small intestine with the surfactant action of bile salts. The system has been used for the release of vitamin B2, thus demonstrating the validity of the design for the protection and controlled release of nutraceuticals. The second article evaluates the effectiveness of this molecular gate in different types of mesoporous silica particles, with different sizes and pore structures (MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15 and UVM-7). In all the systems studied, the molecular gate is capable of keeping cargo molecules protected and releasing them in the presence of bile salts. The solid based on the structure of UVM-7 was validated in vivo, observing a delay in the intestinal absorption of rhodamine thanks to its encapsulation. Lastly, the third article included in this chapter has studied the possibility of incorporating molecular gates onto phyllosilicates. The protection and controlled release of large biomolecules involved in human metabolism (vitamin B12 and hematin) have been achieved using phyllosilicates functionalized with oleic acid as molecular gate. The second chapter describes for the first time the use of the protein zein (corn prolamine) as a molecular gate. The presence of corn prolamine inhibits the release of encapsulated antimicrobial compounds (thymol, carvacrol and cinnamaldehyde) releasing them in the presence of the proteolytic enzymes excreted during bacterial growth. Among all the materials developed, the cinnamaldehyde-loaded system has shown greater inhibition of E. coli growth than the free compound. Finally, the third chapter studies the effectiveness of lactose as a molecular gate to protect essential oils and release them only under the conditions present in the intestine. Three different materials based on MCM-41 loaded with thymol, eugenol, and cinnamaldehyde, and functionalized with lactose to inhibit the release of the compounds have been prepared. The enzymatic action of the lactase secreted in the intestine is capable of hydrolyzing the molecular gate into the corresponding monosaccharides, thus releasing the cargo along the intestinal lumen. The designed microdevices have been validated in vitro with Caco-2 cells, where an increase in the cytotoxic capacity of cinnamaldehyde and a decrease in permeability through the intestinal membrane model have been observed thanks to its encapsulation. Finally, the cinnamaldehyde-loaded microdevice has been validated in vivo, confirming the decrease in the permeability of the compound and its greater permanence in the intestinal lumen. Thus, the present PhD thesis has demonstrated the possibility of using simple food-grade biomolecules as gatekeepers on various silica materials. These new systems have allowed the protection and controlled release of different nutraceuticals, thus improving their bioavailability., The authors also thank the Electron Microscopy Service at the UPV for support. The authors also thank Prof. Pedro Amorós for his explanations and guidance on the knowledge of phyllosilicates.

Food waste is one of the main issues for international organisms. It is not only an ethical and economic issue but it also depletes the environment of limited natural resources. Among strategies suitable for fighting such challenge, intelligent packaging is an interesting tool to reduce waste derived from households and retailers. A revision of 45 recent advances in the area of optical systems for freshness monitoring is reported herein. The study covers fruits, vegetables, fish products and meat since they are the most representative fields of application. Furthermore, a discussion about the main research challenges and opportunities that will be faced by intelligent packaging in the coming years is included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MESOPOROUS silica , *INTESTINES , *ESSENTIAL oils , *SMALL molecules , *THYMOL , *LABORATORY rats , *SMALL intestine - Abstract
Mesoporous silica microparticles functionalized with lactose for the specific release of essential oil components (EOCs) in the small intestine are presented. In vitro and in vivo intestinal models were applied to validate the microparticles (M41-EOC-L), in which the presence of lactase acts as the triggering stimulus for the controlled release of EOCs. Among the different microdevices prepared (containing thymol, eugenol and cinnamaldehyde), the one loaded with cinnamaldehyde showed the most significant Caco-2 cell viability reduction. On the other hand, interaction of the particles with enterocyte-like monolayers showed a reduction of EOCs permeability when protected into the designed microdevices. Then, a microdevice loaded with cinnamaldehyde was applied in the in vivo model of Wistar rat. The results showed a reduction in cinnamaldehyde plasma levels and an increase in its concentration in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The absence of payload release in the stomach, the progressive release throughout the intestine and the prolonged stay of the payload in the GIT-lumen increased the bioavailability of the encapsulated compound at the site of the desired action. These innovative results, based on the specific intestinal controlled delivery, suggest that the M41-payload-L could be a potential hybrid microdevice for the protection and administration of bioactive molecules in the small intestine and colon.

MESOPOROUS silica , *ESSENTIAL oils , *CARVACROL , *ARTIFICIAL foods , *FOOD preservatives , *FOOD spoilage - Abstract
The development of new food preservatives is essential to prevent foodborne outbreaks or food spoilage due to microbial growth, enzymatic activity or oxidation. Furthermore, new compounds that substitute the commonly used synthetic food preservatives are needed to stifle the rising problem of microbial resistance. In this scenario, we report herein, as far as we know, for the first time the use of the zein protein as a gating moiety and its application for the controlled release of essential oil components (EOCs). The design of microdevices consist of mesoporous silica particles loaded with essential oils components (thymol, carvacrol and cinnamaldehyde) and functionalized with the zein (prolamin) protein found in corn as a molecular gate. The zein protein grafted on the synthesized microdevices is degraded by the proteolytic action of bacterial enzymatic secretions with the consequent release of the loaded essential oil components efficiently inhibiting bacterial growth. The results allow us to conclude that the new microdevice presented here loaded with the essential oil component cinnamaldehyde improved the antimicrobial properties of the free compound by decreasing volatility and increasing local concentration.

MESOPOROUS materials , *MESOPOROUS silica , *OLEIC acid , *BILE salts , *GATES , *IN vivo studies - Abstract
In recent decades, the versatility of mesoporous silica particles and their relevance to develop controlled release systems have been demonstrated. Within them, gated materials able to modulate payload delivery represent great advantages. However, the role played by the porous matrix in this kind of systems is scarce. In this work, different mesoporous silica materials (MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15 and UVM-7) are functionalized with oleic acid as a molecular gate. All systems are fully characterized and their ability to confine the entrapped cargo and release it in the presence of bile salts is validated with release assays and in vitro digestion experiments. The cargo release profile of each synthesized support is studied, paying attention to the inorganic scaffold. Obtained release profiles fit to Korsmeyer–Peppas model, which explains the differences among the studied supports. Based on the results, UVM-7 material was the most appropriate system for duodenal delivery and was tested in an in vivo model of the Wistar rat. Payload confinement and its complete release after gastric emptying is achieved, establishing the possible use of mesoporous silica particles as protection and direct release agents into the duodenum and, hence, demonstrating that these systems could serve as an alternative to the administration methods employed until now.
