1. Sugar-Armored Pesticides: Self-Assembled System for Enhanced Foliar Adhesion and Sustained Delivery of Hydrophobic Antimicrobials Against Bacterial Diseases

  • 掲載誌: ADVANCED SCIENCE(JIF 2024: 14.1)
  • : 2026
  • 著者: Yang, JH; Liu, J; Wang, XH; Wang, PY
  • DOI: 10.1002/advs.202524286

やさしい解説(Abstractの要点を整理:本文の転載なし)
– 疎水性(=水に溶けにくい)農薬は葉の上で弾かれやすく、十分に付着しないため、効果低下や環境流出が起こりやすいという課題がある。
– 本研究は、強力なピリジルエーテル系殺菌剤(PyE28)を HPβCD(2‑ヒドロキシプロピル‑β‑シクロデキストリン) と包接させ、糖で“コーティング”された自己集合体(球状)に変換する戦略を提案。
– 葉面での濡れ広がりが改善し、接触角が小さくなることで付着性が向上(葉への堆積が増える)。
– バイオフィルム形成を強く抑え、植物病原細菌(Xanthomonas)の増殖を抑制することを示した。
– 柑橘かいよう病・イネ白葉枯病の実植物試験でも、従来薬剤より高い防除効果を示し、疎水性農薬の“賢いデリバリー”として有望。

やさしい解説(Abstractの要点を整理:本文の転載なし)
– 家畜由来食品に残る抗菌薬(レボフロキサシン)の残留は健康リスクとなるため、現場で素早く測れる検査法が求められている。
– 本研究は、電極表面に HPβCDを電気化学重合して固定化し、レボフロキサシンを“包接+水素結合”で選択的に捕まえるセンサーを設計。
– 検出限界はng/mLオーダーまで低く、幅広い濃度範囲で直線性を示し、共存成分の影響(マトリクス耐性)も小さいと報告。
– 小型の計測器とスマホを組み合わせた携帯型プラットフォームを構築し、豚肉試料のオンサイト測定を実証。
– 食品安全の現場で、迅速・高感度・持ち運び可能な残留抗菌薬検査につながる。

3. Textural Properties of Carbopol® Gel with Curcumin and Curcumin-HPβCD Inclusion Complex and Biological Activities

  • 掲載誌: GELS(JIF 2024: 5.3)
  • : 2026
  • 著者: Urosevic, M; Nikolic, V; Savic, V; Mihajilov-Krstev, T; Gajic, I; Dinic, A; Martinovic, M; Nikolic, L
  • DOI: 10.3390/gels12010077

やさしい解説(Abstractの要点を整理:本文の転載なし)
– クルクミンは有用な機能性分子ですが、水に溶けにくく、製剤化では溶解性・安定性の改善が課題。
– 本研究は、クルクミンを HPβCD包接体 にしてからCarbopol®ゲルに分散させ、ゲルの物性(テクスチャー・レオロジー)と生物活性を評価。
– DPPH/ABTS/FRAPなどの指標で、包接体の方が抗酸化能が高い傾向を示し、抗菌活性も改善した。
– SEM観察でゲル中にクルクミン/包接体が存在することを確認し、ゲルの構造(粘弾性)は大きく損なわれないことを示した。
– 放出挙動や膨潤性も併せて評価し、外用製剤(塗布剤)としての実用可能性を示唆。

What is this topic about?

HPβCD (2‑hydroxypropyl‑β‑cyclodextrin) is a water‑soluble cyclodextrin derivative that retains a hydrophobic cavity for host–guest inclusion.
By encapsulating hydrophobic molecules and improving their dispersion in water, HPβCD enables applications ranging from pharma to food analysis and agrochemical delivery.

Plain-language bullets (paraphrased from the abstract; no verbatim text)
– Hydrophobic pesticides often show poor deposition on leaves, leading to reduced efficacy and off‑target environmental loss.
– This work complexes a pyridyl‑ether microbicide (PyE28) with HPβCD (2‑hydroxypropyl‑β‑cyclodextrin) to form sugar‑armored, self‑assembled spherical structures in water.
– Improved wetting/spreading on foliar surfaces (lower contact angle) enhances deposition and adhesion.
– The formulation strongly disrupts bacterial biofilms and suppresses Xanthomonas pathogens through oxidative/redox‑related mechanisms.
– In planta tests show improved control of citrus canker and rice bacterial blight versus conventional bactericides, highlighting supramolecular delivery for agrochemicals.
