J Control Release 2024; 366:494-504. [PMID: 38185335 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2024.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the most common complication that occurs after intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in cataract therapy. In recent years, IOLs have been developed as drug delivery platforms, but concerns over the safety of uncontrolled proliferative drug release have arisen. Therefore, a controlled drug release strategy is needed for safer PCO prevention. In this study, a new monomer contained coumarin group was introduced in material preparation, and poly(ethylene glycol phenyl ether methacrylate-co-2-(2-ethoxyethoxy) ethyl acrylate-co-7-(2-methacryloyloxyethoxy)-4-methylcoumarin) (PEEC) acrylic IOL materials were synthesized. The antiproliferative drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) could be chemically grafted to the PEEC IOL materials easily via a light induced [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction with the coumarin group, getting drug-loaded IOL (PEEC@5-FU IOL). The PEEC@5-FU IOL exhibited excellent optical and mechanical properties and biocompatibility. More importantly, the loaded 5-FU could be easily controlled from release by light irradiation via photo-dissociation of the cyclobutane ring that was obtained by the [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 5-FU and coumarin. The in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that such photo-controllable drug release IOL could effectively prevent PCO after implantation in a safe way.

Abstract
In this work, the crystal plane of strontium oxide (SrO) nanorods was integrated into hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets to form 1D-2D (SrO/h-BN) composite were utilized for the electrochemical detection of the chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu). 5-Fu is a clinically proven and the third most frequently applied chemotherapeutic drug for treating solid tumours, such as colorectal, stomach, cutaneous and breast malignancies. Its overdoses lead to toxic metabolite accumulation that has serious adverse consequences on humans, including neurotoxicity, death and the induction of morbidity. Therefore, to improve the chemotherapy and predict the potential adverse effects of 5-Fu residues in the human body, susceptible and quick analytical methods for detecting 5-Fu in human body fluids (blood serum/plasma and urine) are needed. The effective interaction of the synthesized SrO/h-BN composite shows increased efficiency for the electrochemical detection of 5-Fu with good selectivity. Notably, a simple sonochemical method achieved a synergistic interaction between the (100) plane of SrO and the (002) plane of h-BN. Various analytical and spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize the SrO/h-BN nanocomposite, which provided useful insights into the composition and properties of the composite material. The crystalline, structural and chemical characteristics of the as-synthesized material were characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, HR-TEM, XPS and HR-SEM. Furthermore, the proposed electrode's electrochemical sensing capability was analysed using CV, EIS, DPV and i-t curve methods. Numerous active sites created on a modified electrode enhanced the mass transport and electron transfer rate, thereby increasing the electrochemical activity towards the 5-Fu detection. Consequently, under optimized conditions, the SrO/h-BN/GCE exhibited remarkable selectivity, durability, low detection limit (0.003 μM) and wide linear range (0.02-56 μM) for 5-Fu. Finally, the successful application of this sensor for 5-Fu detection in biological samples was successfully tested with high recovery percentages.

Abstract
Conjugates composed of C2-18 fatty acid (FA) residues as a molecular carrier and 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) as an active agent, released upon the action of intracellular esterases on the ester bond between FA and "trimethyl lock" intramolecular linker, demonstrate good in vitro activity against human pathogenic yeasts of Candida spp. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values for the most active conjugates containing caprylic (C8), capric (C10), lauric (C12), or myristic (C14) acid residues were in the 2-64 μg mL-1 range, except for these against the least susceptible Candida krusei. The least active conjugates containing C2, C16, or C18 FA were slowly hydrolyzed by esterase and probably poorly taken up by Candida cells, as found for their analogs containing a fluorescent label, Nap-NH2 instead of 5-FC.

Abstract
The current research relies on a one-pot green biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) with various ratios of silver (Ag) in the existence of N, N, N-trimethyl chitosan chloride (TMC) and carboxymethyl kappa-carrageenan (CMKC), to investigate the effectiveness of the synthesized silver nanocomposites (SNCs) as pH sensitive biodegradable carrier for orally intestinal delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) drug. FTIR, XRD, TEM and FE-SEM/EDX methods were utilized to demonstrate the structure of the prepared polyelectrolyte complex PEC (TMC/CMKC) and SNCs (TMC/CMKC/Ag). The results showed that the 5-FU encapsulation effectiveness inside all of the prepared SNCs samples was improved by increasing the concentration of Ag, reaching 92.16 ± 0.57 % with 3 % Ag. In vitro release behavior of 5-FU loaded SNC 3 % (TMC/CMKC/Ag 3 %), displayed slow and sustained release reaching 96.3 ± 0.81 % up to 24 h into pH 7.4 medium. The successful release of 5-FU from the loaded SNC 3 % was confirmed through occurrence of strong cytotoxicity, with an IC50 value of 31.15 μg/ml, and high % of apoptotic cells (30.66 %) within the treated HCT116 cells. Besides, SNC 3 % showed good biodegradability and antimicrobial properties against different bacterial strains. Overall, SNC 3 % can be suggested as an effective system for both controlled drug delivery and antibacterial action.

Abstract
Advances in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) have enabled the precise design and preparation of nanostructured polymeric materials for a variety of biomedical applications. This paper briefly summarizes recent developments in the synthesis of bio-therapeutics for drug delivery based on linear and branched block copolymers and bioconjugates using ATRP, which have been tested in drug delivery systems (DDSs) over the past decade. An important trend is the rapid development of a number of smart DDSs that can release bioactive materials in response to certain external stimuli, either physical (e.g., light, ultrasound, or temperature) or chemical factors (e.g., changes in pH values and/or environmental redox potential). The use of ATRPs in the synthesis of polymeric bioconjugates containing drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids, as well as systems applied in combination therapies, has also received considerable attention.

Abstract
Patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) often have an unfavorable prognosis because of its insidious nature, low resectability rate, and poor response to anticancer drugs and radiotherapy, which makes early detection and treatment difficult. At present, CCA has a five-year overall survival rate (OS) of only 5%, despite advances in therapies. New an increasing number of evidence suggests that nanoplatforms may play a crucial role in enhancing the pharmacological effects and in reducing both short- and long-term side effects of cancer treatment. This document reviews the advantages and shortcomings of nanoparticles such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticle,inorganic nanoparticle, nano-metals and nano-alloys, carbon dots, nano-micelles, dendrimer, nano-capsule, bio-Nanomaterials in the diagnosis and treatment of CCA and discuss the current challenges in of nanoplatforms for CCA.

Abstract
Niosomes were prepared using a triad of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether surfactants. The focus was to elucidate the effects of varying alkyl chain length and varying hydrophilic headgroups on the structure of the niosomes, with an aim to design niosomes for efficient encapsulation and release of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs. The phase transitions of the surfactants were ascertained by differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that the headgroup has a profound influence on the niosomal bilayer. Fluorescent probes Coumarin 153 (C-153) and 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene were used to probe the structural integrity of the niosomal bilayer under stress conditions. Other aspects of the niosomes were probed by following the aggregation of the dyes fluorescein (FL) and Nile Red, red edge excitation shift, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between them. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy provides proof of the exact location of the donor and acceptor dyes in the niosomes under FRET condition. It was also shown that the niosomes are efficient "carriers" for entrapment and controlled release of the chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil. It was found that a rigid niosomal bilayer leads to controlled drug release. The present work is relevant for the future use of these niosomes for cargo entrapment.

Abstract
Conventional drug delivery systems often have several pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic limitations related to their low efficacy and bad safety. It is because these traditional systems cannot always be selectively addressed to their therapeutic target sites. Currently, target-specific and controlled drug delivery is one of the foremost challenges in the biomedical field. In this context, stimuli-responsive polymeric nanomaterials have been recognized as a topic of intense research. They have gained immense attention in therapeutics - particularly in the drug delivery area - due to the ease of tailorable behavior in response to the surroundings. Light irradiation is of particular interest among externally triggered stimuli because it may be specifically localized in a contact-free manner. Light-human body interactions may sometimes be harmful due to photothermal and photomechanical reactions that lead to cell death by photo-toxicity and/or photosensitization. However, these limitations may also be overcome by the use of photo-responsive polymeric nanostructures. This review summarizes recent developments in photo-responsive polymeric nanocarriers used in the field of drug delivery systems, including nanoparticles, nanogels, micelles, nanofibers, dendrimers, and polymersomes, as well as their classification and mechanisms of drug release.

Abstract
This study is aimed at developing a micellar carrier for an Anderson-type manganese polyoxomolybdate (TRIS-MnPOMo) to improve the potency and reduce the general toxicity. The biotin-targeted stearic acid-polyethylene glycol (SPB) polymeric conjugate was selected for the first time as a micelle-forming basis for the delivery of TRIS-MnPOMo to breast cancer cells. The cytotoxicity of TRIS-MnPOMo and its nanomicellar form (TRIS-MnPOMo@SPB) was evaluated against MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer cell lines), and HUVEC (normal cell line) in vitro using the MTT assay. The quantity of cellular uptake and apoptosis level were studied properly using standard methods. The hydrodynamic size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index of the prepared micelles were 140 nm, -15.6 mV, and 0.16, respectively. The critical micelle concentration was about 30 μg/mL, which supports the colloidal stability of the micellar dispersion. The entrapment efficiency was interestingly high (about 82%), and a pH-responsive release of TRIS-MnPOMo was successfully achieved. The micellar form showed better cytotoxicity than the free TRIS-MnPOMo on cancer cells without any significant heme and normal cell toxicity. Biotin-targeted nanomicelles internalized into the MDA-MB-231 cells interestingly better than nontargeted micelles and TRIS-MnPOMo, most probably via the endocytosis pathway. Furthermore, at the same concentration, micelles remarkably increased the level of induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells. In conclusion, TRIS-MnPOMo@SPB could profoundly improve potency, safety, and cellular uptake; these results are promising for further evaluations in vivo.

Abstract
Light has attracted special attention as a stimulus for triggered drug delivery systems (DDS) due to its intrinsic features of being spatially and temporally tunable. Ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation has recently been used as a source of external light stimuli to control the release of drugs using a "switch on- switch off" procedure. This review discusses the promising potential of UVA radiation as the light source of choice for photo-controlled drug release from a range of photo-responsive and photolabile nanostructures via photo-isomerization, photo-cleavage, photo-crosslinking, and photo-induced rearrangement. In addition to its clinical use, we will also provide here an overview of the recent UVA-responsive drug release approaches that are developed for phototherapy and skin photoprotection.

Hydrogels Based on Poly(Ether-Ester)s as Highly Controlled 5-Fluorouracil Delivery Systems-Synthesis and Characterization. MATERIALS 2020; 14:ma14010098. [PMID: 33379370 PMCID: PMC7795999 DOI: 10.3390/ma14010098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
A novel and promising hydrogel drug delivery system (DDS) capable of releasing 5‑fluorouracil (5-FU) in a prolonged and controlled manner was obtained using ε‑caprolactone‑poly(ethylene glycol) (CL-PEG) or rac‑lactide-poly(ethylene glycol) (rac‑LA-PEG) copolymers. Copolymers were synthesized via the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) process of cyclic monomers, ε‑caprolactone (CL) or rac-lactide (rac-LA), in the presence of zirconium(IV) octoate (Zr(Oct)4) and poly(ethylene glycol) 200 (PEG 200) as catalyst and initiator, respectively. Obtained triblock copolymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) techniques; the structure and tacticity of the macromolecules were determined. The relationship between the copolymer structure and the reaction conditions was evaluated. The optimal conditions were specified as 140 °C and 24 h. In the next step, CL-PEG and rac-LA-PEG copolymers were chemically crosslinked using hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). Selected hydrogels were subjected to in vitro antitumor drug release studies, and the release data were analyzed using zero-order, first-order, and Korsmeyer-Peppas mathematical models. Controlled and prolonged (up to 432 h) 5-FU release profiles were observed for all examined hydrogels with first-order or zero-order kinetics. The drug release mechanism was generally denoted as non-Fickian transport.

Abstract
The use of photo-based nanomedicine in imaging and therapy has grown rapidly. The property of light in converting its energy into different forms has been exploited in the fields of optical imaging (OI) and phototherapy (PT) for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The development of nanotechnology offers numerous advantages to overcome the challenges of OI and PT. Accordingly, in this review, we shed light on common photosensitive agents (PSAs) used in OI and PT; these include fluorescent and bioluminescent PSAs for OI or PT agents for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). We also describe photo-based nanotechnology systems that can be used in photo-based diagnostics and therapies by using various polymeric systems.

Abstract
Light is a particularly appealing tool for on-demand drug delivery due to its noninvasive nature, ease of application and exquisite temporal and spatial control. Great progress has been achieved in the development of novel light-driven drug delivery strategies with both breadth and depth. Light-controlled drug delivery platforms can be generally categorized into three groups: photochemical, photothermal, and photoisomerization-mediated therapies. Various advanced materials, such as metal nanoparticles, metal sulfides and oxides, metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanomaterials, upconversion nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, stimuli-responsive micelles, polymer- and liposome-based nanoparticles have been applied for light-stimulated drug delivery. In view of the increasing interest in on-demand targeted drug delivery, we review the development of light-responsive systems with a focus on recent advances, key limitations, and future directions.

Abstract
Therapeutic nanomaterials serve as an important platform for drug delivery under image guidance. Despite significant growth and broad applications, their design specifics remain a subject of continued interest primarily due to multifunctional factors involved, ranging from nanomaterial properties, imaging modalities, and therapeutic agents to activation strategies. This review article summarizes key findings on their design characteristics with a particular interest in strategies developed for therapeutic activation (release). First, their activation can be controlled using either an endogenous factor including low pH and glutathione or an external stimulation by light, ultrasound, or electromagnetic field. The former is passively controlled from a spatiotemporal aspect compared to the latter, which is otherwise actively controlled through drug linker photolysis, nanomaterial disassembly, or gate opening. Second, light stimulation serves a most notable strategy due to its essential role in controlled drug release, photothermal activation (hyperthermia), and photodynamic production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Third, some of those activation strategies that rely on ultrasound, photothermal, photoacoustic, magnetic field, or X-ray radiation are dually functional due to their role in imaging modalities. In summary, this review article presents recent advances and new insights that pertain to nanotherapeutic delivery systems. It also addresses their technical limitations associated with tissue penetration (light), spatial resolution (ultrasound, hyperthermia), and occurrence of cellular resistance (ROS).

Abstract
Photocleavable biomaterials and bioconjugates are particularly interesting because light sources are easy to obtain and the responsiveness of materials is convenient to control. In recent years, various photocleavable biomaterials and bioconjugates have been synthesized for the control of payload release, regulation of biomolecule activity, 3D cell culture, and investigation of molecular mechanisms. Photocleavable linkers are crucial components of photocleavable biomaterials, which significantly influence the photoresponsive capabilities of materials. Photosensitive molecules, such as o-nitrobenzyls and coumarins, have been extensively developed as photocleavable linkers. In the present review, we provide comprehensive knowledge regarding the synthetic strategies of o-nitrobenzyl and coumarin derived linkers with various functional groups and their applications for the construction of photocleavable biomaterials and bioconjugates. Finally, the biomedical applications of o-nitrobenzyl and coumarin-based photocleavable biomaterials and bioconjugates will be summarized and discussed.

Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) has become one of the most widely employed antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agents in recent decades. It is considered a first line antineoplastic agent for the treatment of colorectal cancer. Unfortunately, chemotherapy with 5-FU has several limitations, including its short half-life, high cytotoxicity and low bioavailability. In order to overcome the drawbacks of 5-FU and enhance its therapeutic efficiency, many scientific groups have focused on designing a new delivery system to successfully deliver 5-FU to tumor sites. We provide a comprehensive review on different strategies to design effective delivery systems, including nanoformulations, drug-conjugate formulations and other strategies for the delivery of 5-FU to colorectal cancer. Furthermore, co-delivery of 5-FU with other therapeutics is discussed. This review critically highlights the recent innovations in and literature on various types of carrier system for 5-FU.

Abstract
In the past few decades, polymeric nanocarriers have been recognized as promising tools and have gained attention from researchers for their potential to efficiently deliver bioactive compounds, including drugs, proteins, genes, nucleic acids, etc., in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Remarkably, these polymeric nanocarriers could be further modified as stimuli-responsive systems based on the mechanism of triggered release, i.e., response to a specific stimulus, either endogenous (pH, enzymes, temperature, redox values, hypoxia, glucose levels) or exogenous (light, magnetism, ultrasound, electrical pulses) for the effective biodistribution and controlled release of drugs or genes at specific sites. Various nanoparticles (NPs) have been functionalized and used as templates for imaging systems in the form of metallic NPs, dendrimers, polymeric NPs, quantum dots, and liposomes. The use of polymeric nanocarriers for imaging and to deliver active compounds has attracted considerable interest in various cancer therapy fields. So-called smart nanopolymer systems are built to respond to certain stimuli such as temperature, pH, light intensity and wavelength, and electrical, magnetic and ultrasonic fields. Many imaging techniques have been explored including optical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear imaging, ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging (PAI), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET). This review reports on the most recent developments in imaging methods by analyzing examples of smart nanopolymers that can be imaged using one or more imaging techniques. Unique features, including nontoxicity, water solubility, biocompatibility, and the presence of multiple functional groups, designate polymeric nanocues as attractive nanomedicine candidates. In this context, we summarize various classes of multifunctional, polymeric, nano-sized formulations such as liposomes, micelles, nanogels, and dendrimers.

Abstract
Carrier-free nanodrugs, generated via the straightforward small-molecule self-assembly of anticancer drugs, provide a promising route for cancer chemotherapy. However, their low structural stability, lack of targeting specificity, and poor stimulus responsiveness are still limiting their therapeutic effect. Inspired by Watson-Crick G[triple bond, length as m-dash]C base pairing, the FDA-approved chemo-drug methotrexate (MTX, which can bind with folate receptors) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU, a DNA/RNA synthetase inhibitor) were adopted for direct assembly into self-recognizing MTX-5-FU nanoparticles via "Watson-Crick-like base pairing"-driven precise supramolecular assembly. Sequentially, our synthesized weak acidity-responsive polyethylene glycol (PEG) was inserted onto the nanoparticle surface to temporarily shield the self-targeting function of MTX and prolong the blood circulation time. Once PEG-MTX-5-FU nanoparticles reached the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment, the PEG corona could be cleaved from their surface and then MTX could be re-exposed to recover its self-recognition ability and significantly elevate tumor cell uptake; furthermore, the de-PEGylated MTX-5-FU nanoparticles could respond to the stronger acidity of lysosome, triggering core disassembly and thus the burst release of both MTX and 5-FU. Further in vitro and in vivo studies consistently confirmed that the nanodrugs exhibited preferable accumulation at the tumor sites with highly synergistic chemotherapeutic effects. The supramolecular recognition-inspired, cascade-triggered self-targeting and controlled release of nanodrugs could be a promising strategy to improve synergistic chemotherapy.

Abstract
Controlled release is at the forefront of modern bioscience as it aims to address challenges associated with the dosing of drugs within required levels for therapeutic effect. Many materials and approaches can be used to control the release from different reservoirs including nanoparticles, liposomes and hydrogels. Using thermoresponsive hydrogels, near infrared illumination of plasmonic nanoparticles can be used to control the hydrogel through localised surface plasmon resonance heating. This work extends beyond a material level and pursues detailed examination of the drug release characteristics of a variable acrylic acid poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) coated gold nanorod system using dexamethasone as a model drug. Release was examined under different irradiation power densities and exposure times. Bulk heating effects in all stimulation protocols did not exceed the lower critical solution temperature of the system, but a marked increase in release was seen following stimulation. This was likely due to more intense heating occurring around the nanorods. A release model was established to describe the amount of drug eluted relative to input energy, suggesting that shorter irradiation periods release the drug more efficiently. The data reported establishes plasmonically modulated thermosensitive hydrogels as a candidate material that can be tailored to specific clinical applications of stimulated release.

Abstract
Understanding and controlling molecular transport in hydrogel materials is important for biomedical tools, including engineered tissues and drug delivery, as well as life sciences tools for single-cell analysis. Here, we scrutinize the ability of microwells-micromolded in hydrogel slabs-to compartmentalize lysate from single cells. We consider both (i) microwells that are "open" to a large fluid (i.e., liquid) reservoir and (ii) microwells that are "closed," having been capped with either a slab of high-density polyacrylamide gel or an impermeable glass slide. We use numerical modeling to gain insight into the sensitivity of time-dependent protein concentration distributions on hydrogel partition and protein diffusion coefficients and open and closed microwell configurations. We are primarily concerned with diffusion-driven protein loss from the microwell cavity. Even for closed microwells, confocal fluorescence microscopy reports that a fluid (i.e., liquid) film forms between the hydrogel slabs (median thickness of 1.7 μm). Proteins diffuse from the microwells and into the fluid (i.e., liquid) layer, yet concentration distributions are sensitive to the lid layer partition coefficients and the protein diffusion coefficient. The application of a glass lid or a dense hydrogel retains protein in the microwell, increasing the protein solute concentration in the microwell by ∼7-fold for the first 15 s. Using triggered release of Protein G from microparticles, we validate our simulations by characterizing protein diffusion in a microwell capped with a high-density polyacrylamide gel lid (p > 0.05, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). Here, we establish and validate a numerical model useful for understanding protein transport in and losses from a hydrogel microwell across a range of boundary conditions.

Abstract
Degradable polymer prodrugs based on gemcitabine (Gem) as an anticancer drug were synthesized by 'drug-initiated' nitroxide-mediated radical ring-opening copolymerization (NMrROP) of methacrylic esters and 2-methylene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane (MPDL). Different structural parameters were varied to determine the best biological performances: the nature of the monomer [i.e., oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA) or methyl methacrylate (MMA)], the nature of the Gem-polymer linker (i.e., amide or amide and diglycolate) and the MPDL content in the copolymer. Depending on the nature of the methacrylate monomer, two small libraries of water-soluble copolymer prodrugs and nanoparticles were obtained (M n ∼10 000 g mol-1, Đ = 1.1-1.5), which exhibited tunable hydrolytic degradation under accelerated conditions governed by the MPDL content. Drug-release profiles in human serum and in vitro anticancer activity on different cell lines enabled preliminary structure-activity relationships to be established. The cytotoxicity was independently governed by: (i) the MPDL content - the lower the MPDL content, the greater the cytotoxicity; (ii) the nature of the linker - the presence of a labile diglycolate linker enabled a greater Gem release compared to a simple amide bond and (iii) the hydrophilicity of the methacrylate monomer-OEGMA enabled a greater anticancer activity to be obtained compared to MMA-based polymer prodrugs. Remarkably, the optimal structural parameters enabled reaching the cytotoxic activity of the parent (free) drug.

Abstract
Materials that interact with light and subsequently change their physicochemical properties are of great interest for drug delivery. The human body is semitransparent to light of the near-infrared (NIR) region, which makes it possible to use light as an external stimulus to trigger drug release. In this chapter, we review light-triggered drug release systems of both photochemical and photothermal mechanisms. We explore recent literature on a variety of light-responsive materials for drug delivery, including organic, inorganic, and hybrid systems, which collectively embody the strategies for synergizing light responsiveness for controlled drug release/activation with other drug delivery techniques.

Abstract
The native cell microenvironment is extraordinarily dynamic, with reciprocal regulation pathways between cells and the extracellular matrix guiding many physiological processes, such as cell migration, stem cell differentiation, and tissue formation. Providing the correct sequence of biochemical cues to cells, both in vivo and in vitro, is critical for triggering specific biological outcomes. There has been a diversity of methods developed for exposing cells in culture to spatiotemporally varying cues, many of which have centered on dynamic control over cell-material interactions in an attempt to recapitulate the role of the extracellular matrix in cell signaling. This review highlights several mechanisms that have been employed to control bioactive ligand presentation in biomaterials, and looks ahead toward the potential for genetically encoded approaches to dynamically regulate material bioactivity using light.

Abstract
Incorporating labile bonds inside polymer backbone and side chains yields interesting polymer materials that are responsive to change of environmental stimuli. Drugs can be conjugated to various polymers through different conjugation linkages and spacers. One of the key factors influencing the release profile of conjugated drugs is the hydrolytic stability of the conjugated linkage. Generally, the hydrolysis of acid-labile linkages, including acetal, imine, hydrazone, and to some extent β-thiopropionate, are relatively fast and the conjugated drug can be completely released in the range of several hours to a few days. The cleavage of ester linkages are usually slow, which is beneficial for continuous and prolonged release. Another key structural factor is the water solubility of polymer-drug conjugates. Generally, the release rate from highly water-soluble prodrugs is fast. In prodrugs with large hydrophobic segments, the hydrophobic drugs are usually located in the hydrophobic core of micelles and nanoparticles, which limits the access to the water, hence lowering significantly the hydrolysis rate. Finally, self-immolative polymers are also an intriguing new class of materials. New synthetic pathways are needed to overcome the fact that much of the small molecules produced upon degradation are not active molecules useful for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bio-recognizable and photocleavable amphiphilic glycopolymers and prodrugs containing photodegradable linkers (i.e. 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzyl alcohol) as junction points between bio-recognizable hydrophilic glucose (or maltose) and hydrophobic poly(α-azo-ε-caprolactone)-grafted alkyne or drug chains were synthesized by combining ring-opening polymerization, nucleophilic substitution, and “click” post-functionalization with alkynyl-pyrene and 2-nitrobenzyl-functionalized indomethacin (IMC). The block-grafted glycocopolymers could self-assemble into spherical photoresponsive micelles with hydrodynamic sizes of <200 nm. Fluorescence emission measurements indicated the release of Nile red, a hydrophobic dye, encapsulated by the Glyco-ONB-P(αN3CL-g-alkyne)n micelles, in response to irradiation caused by micelle disruption. Light-triggered bursts were observed for IMC-loaded or -conjugated micelles during the first 5 h. Following light irradiation, the drug release rate of IMC-conjugated micelles was faster than that of IMC-loaded micelles. Selective lectin binding experiments confirmed that glycosylated Glyco-ONB-P(αN3CL-g-alkyne)n could be used in bio-recognition applications. The nano-prodrug with and without UV irradiation was associated with negligible levels of toxicity at concentrations of less than 30 μg mL−1. The confocal microscopy and flow cytometry results indicated that the uptake of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded micelles with UV irradiation by HeLa cells was faster than without UV irradiation. The DOX-loaded Gluco-ONB-P(αN3CL-g-PONBIMC)10 micelles effectively inhibited HeLa cells' proliferation with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 8.8 μg mL−1. Bio-recognizable and photocleavable amphiphilic glycopolymers and prodrugs containing photodegradable linkers as junction points between hydrophilic glycose and hydrophobic poly(α-azo-ε-caprolactone)-grafted alkyne or drug chains were synthesized.![]()

Abstract
A novel singlet-oxygen sensitive drug delivery nanocarrier able to release its cargo after exposure to visible (Vis) light from a common lamp is presented. This nanodevice is based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) decorated with porphyrin-caps grafted via reactive oxygen species (ROS)-cleavable linkages. In the presence of Vis light porphyrin-nanocaps produce singlet oxygen molecules that break the sensitive-linker, which triggers pore uncapping and therefore allows the release of the entrapped cargo (topotecan, TOP). This new system takes advantage of the non-toxicity and greater penetration capacity of Vis radiation and a double antitumor effect due to the drug release and the ROS production. In vitro tests with HOS osteosarcoma cancer cells reveal that TOP is able to be released in a controlled fashion inside the tumor cells. This research work constitutes a proof of concept that opens up promising expectations in the search for new alternatives for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
This review focuses on block copolymers featuring different photo-responsive building blocks and self-assembly of such materials in different selective solvents. We have subdivided the specific examples we selected: (1) according to the wavelength at which the irradiation has to be carried out to achieve photo-response; and (2) according to whether irradiation with light of a suitable wavelength leads to reversible or irreversible changes in material properties (e.g., solubility, charge, or polarity). Exemplarily, an irreversible change could be the photo-cleavage of a nitrobenzyl, pyrenyl or coumarinyl ester, whereas the photo-mediated transition between spiropyran and merocyanin form as well as the isomerization of azobenzenes would represent reversible response to light. The examples presented cover applications including drug delivery (controllable release rates), controlled aggregation/disaggregation, sensing, and the preparation of photochromic hybrid materials.
