[PMID: 33113409 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2020.104364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Revised: 09/25/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
In this work, the synthesis of interesting urea derivatives 5 based on 1,4-dihydropyridines 3 is described for the first time. Considering that both families exhibit potential as drugs to treat various diseases, their activity as anticancer agents has been evaluated in HeLa (cervix), Jurkat (leukaemia) and A549 (lung) cancer cell lines as well as on healthy mice in vivo. In general, whereas 1,4-dihydropyridines show a moderate cytotoxic activity, their urea analogues cause an extraordinary increase in their antiproliferative activity, specially towards HeLa cells. Because of the chiral nature of these compounds, enantiomerically enriched samples were also tested, showing different cytotoxic activity than the racemic mixture. Although the reason is not clear, it could be caused by a complex amalgam of physical and chemical contributions. The studied compounds also exhibit luminescent properties, which allow performing a biodistribution study in cancer cells. They have emission maxima between 420 and 471 nm, being the urea derivatives in general red shifted. Emission quenching was observed for those compounds containing a nitro group (3e,f and 5e,f). Fluorescence microscopy showed that 1,4-dihydropyridines 3a and 3g localised in the lysosomes, in contrast to the urea derivatives 5h that accumulated in the cell membrane. This different distribution could be key to explain the differences found in the cytotoxic activity and in the mechanism of action. Interestingly, a preliminary in vivo study regarding the acute toxicity of some of these compounds on healthy mice has been conducted, using a concentration up to 7200 times higher than the corresponding IC50 value. No downgrade in the welfare of the tested mice was observed, which could support their use in preclinical tumour models.

Abstract
Dendritic polymers have highly branched three-dimensional architectures, the fourth type apart from linear, cross-linked, and branched one. They possess not only a large number of terminal functional units and interior cavities, but also a low viscosity with weak or no entanglement. These features endow them with great potential in various biomedicine applications, including drug delivery, gene therapy, tissue engineering, immunoassay and bioimaging. Most review articles related to bio-related applications of dendritic polymers focus on their drug or gene delivery, while very few of them are devoted to their function as cancer diagnosis agents, which are essential for cancer treatment. In this review, we will provide comprehensive insights into various dendritic polymer-based cancer diagnosis agents. Their classification and preparation are presented for readers to have a precise understanding of dendritic polymers. On account of physical/chemical properties of dendritic polymers and biological properties of cancer, we will suggest a few design strategies for constructing dendritic polymer-based diagnosis agents, such as active or passive targeting strategies, imaging reporters-incorporating strategies, and/or internal stimuli-responsive degradable/enhanced imaging strategies. Their recent applications in in vitro diagnosis of cancer cells or exosomes and in vivo diagnosis of primary and metastasis tumor sites with the aid of single/multiple imaging modalities will be discussed in great detail. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Diagnostic Tools > in vitro Nanoparticle-Based Sensing.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics is a new strategy for combating cancer that integrates cancer imaging and treatment through theranostic agents to provide an efficient and safe way to improve cancer prognosis. Design and synthesis of these cancer theranostic agents are crucial since these agents are required to be biocompatible, tumor-specific, imaging distinguishable and therapeutically efficacious. In this regard, several types of gadolinium (Gd)-based nanomaterials have been introduced to combine different therapeutic agents with Gd to enhance the efficacy of therapeutic agents. At the same time, the entire treatment procedure could be monitored via imaging tools due to incorporation of Gd ions, Gd chelates and Gd/other imaging probes in the theranostic agents. This review aims to overview recent advances in the Gd-based nanomaterials for cancer theranostics and perspectives for Gd nanomaterial-based cancer theranostics are provided.

Abstract
The increasing evidence supports the fact that lactate in the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a vital role in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and recurrence, which in turn is emerging as one of the most interesting molecular targets for tumor treatment. Here, hierarchical porous zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as the nanocarrier is fabricated to simultaneously load lactate oxidase (LOD) and Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs), called LOD & Fe3O4@ZIF-8 NPs (LFZ NPs), for tumor therapy. On one hand, the sharp consumption of lactate in the TME by LOD will change the essential "soil" where tumor cells live so as to suppress tumor rapid growth. On the other hand, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is produced in the TME from the oxidation of lactate catalyzed by LOD and subsequently converted to highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) catalyzed by Fe3O4 NPs via Fenton-like reactions to kill tumor cells. Based on the endogenous catalysis, this dual-modal strategy of tumor therapy based on lactate is simple, safe, and effective, which deserves to be well concerned.

Abstract
Herein, two water-soluble PROXYL-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) macromolecular organic contrast agents (mORCAs) are designed and synthesized: linear and cross-linked PCE-mPEG-Ppa-PROXYL. They are prepared by conjugating linear and cross-linked poly(carboxylate ester) (PCE) with poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG2000)-modified nitroxides (PROXYL), respectively. Both mORCAs form self-assembled aggregates in an aqueous phase and PROXYL is protected inside a hydrophobic core to achieve great resistance to reduction in the physiological environment, and they have low toxicity. Since cross-linked PCE-mPEG-Ppa-PROXYL possess a branched architecture, its self-assembled aggregate is more stable and compact with a greater particle size. Cross-linked PCE-mPEG-Ppa-PROXYL outperform the linear one in the following aspects: 1) its longitudinal relaxivity (r 1 = 0.79 mm -1 s-1) is higher than that of the linear one (r 1 = 0.64 mm -1 s-1) and both excel the best mORCA reported so far (r 1 = 0.42 mm -1 s-1); 2) its blood retention time (≈48 h) is longer than that of its linear counterpart (≈10 h); 3) cross-linked PCE-mPEG-Ppa-PROXYL provided better MR imaging contrast resolution in normal organs (liver and kidney) and tumor of mice than the linear one. Overall, cross-linked PCE-mPEG-Ppa-PROXYL may have great potential to be a novel metal-free macromolecular contrast agent for MR imaging.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based biomimetic delivery has been actively explored for drug accumulation and penetration into tumors by taking advantage of the tumor-tropic and penetration properties of MSCs. In this work, we further demonstrated the feasibility of MSC-mediated nano drug delivery, which was characterized by the "Trojan horse"-like transport via an endocytosis-exocytosis-endocytosis process between MSCs and cancer cells. Chlorin e6 (Ce6)-conjugated polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA-Ce6) were developed and loaded into the MSCs. Phototherapeutic agents are safe to the MSCs, and their very low dark toxicity causes no impairment of the inherent properties of MSCs, including tumor-homing ability. The MSCs loaded with PDA-Ce6 (MSC-PDA-Ce6) were able to target and penetrate into tumors and exocytose 60% of the payloads in 72 h. The released PDA-Ce6 NPs could penetrate deep and be re-endocytosed by the cancer cells. MSC-PDA-Ce6 tended to accumulate in the lungs and delivered PDA-Ce6 into the tumors after intravenous injection in the mouse model with lung melanoma metastasis. Phototoxicity can be selectively triggered in the tumors by sequentially treating with near-infrared irradiation to induce photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). The MSC-based biomimetic delivery of PDA-Ce6 nanoparticles is a potential method for dual phototherapy against lung melanoma metastasis.

Abstract
Compared to normal tissues, unique conditions in the tumor microenvironment, such as a lower pH, can induce accurate release of a drug into specific lesions. This strategy provides an efficient approach to overcome the issues of unexpected drug leakage and poor circulation stability, thereby reducing the side effects and enhancing the effect of cancer treatment. In this study, we designed a class of acid activatable supramolecular nano-prodrugs (DOM@DOX) with a bottlebrush architecture based on the dextran (DEX) polysaccharide, which connects with a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol chain by atom transfer radical polymerization and further conjugates with an anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) at the backbone of the copolymer via an acidity-responsive hydrazine bond. Furthermore, the DOM@DOX prodrug has a high drug loading up to 48 wt% for DOX, and the prodrug can maintain a stable nano-sized spherical shape in aqueous solution by a self-assembly strategy. In an acidic environment inside tumor cells, the hydrazine bond of the prodrug breaks, leading to the release of DOX from parental micelles. Owing to the small size of the carrier, the prodrug exhibits good intratumoral permeability, good circulation stability and significant tumor suppression efficiency in tumor-bearing mouse models, which is beneficial for the development of new generation nanomedicine for enhanced chemotherapy.
