Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:3102. [PMID: 34578003 PMCID: PMC8473120 DOI: 10.3390/polym13183102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The interest in developing antimicrobial surfaces is currently surging with the rise in global infectious disease events. Radiation-induced graft copolymerization (RIGC) is a powerful technique enabling permanent tunable and desired surface modifications imparting antimicrobial properties to polymer substrates to prevent disease transmission and provide safer biomaterials and healthcare products. This review aims to provide a broader perspective of the progress taking place in strategies for designing various antimicrobial polymeric surfaces using RIGC methods and their applications in medical devices, healthcare, textile, tissue engineering and food packing. Particularly, the use of UV, plasma, electron beam (EB) and γ-rays for biocides covalent immobilization to various polymers surfaces including nonwoven fabrics, films, nanofibers, nanocomposites, catheters, sutures, wound dressing patches and contact lenses is reviewed. The different strategies to enhance the grafted antimicrobial properties are discussed with an emphasis on the emerging approach of in-situ formation of metal nanoparticles (NPs) in radiation grafted substrates. The current applications of the polymers with antimicrobial surfaces are discussed together with their future research directions. It is expected that this review would attract attention of researchers and scientists to realize the merits of RIGC in developing timely, necessary antimicrobial materials to mitigate the fast-growing microbial activities and promote hygienic lifestyles.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte-protein nanocomplexes prepared under mild and simple conditions which could have biological activity arising from protein have emerged as fascinating protein delivery systems. However, common polyelectrolytes have problems of biocompatibility and metabolism in vivo, which may limit their further applications. Herein, a novel polyethylene glycol polyelectrolyte was synthesized and used for carrying protein drugs. Different from previously reported polyelectrolyte-protein nanoclusters, the polyethylene glycol polyelectrolyte-protein nanoclusters avoid organic solvent and protein modification, and the structure and bioactivity of proteins are well preserved. Moreover, the polyethylene glycol polyelectrolyte-protein nanoclusters have good hemocompatibility and biocompatibility. These novel polyethylene glycol polyelectrolyte-protein nanoclusters would provide a potent tool for fabrication of versatile protein drug carriers.

Abstract
In nature, the folding and conformation of proteins can control the cell or organelle membrane permeability and regulate the life activities. Here we report the first example of synthetic polypeptide vesicles that regulate their permeability via ordered transition of secondary conformations, in a manner similar to biological systems. The polymersomes undergo a β-sheet to α-helix transition in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to wall thinning without loss of vesicular integrity. The change of membrane structure increases the vesicular permeability and enables specific transport of payloads with different molecular weights.The change of membrane structure increases the vesicular permeability. As a proof-of-concept, the polymersomes encapsulating enzymes could serve as nanoreactors and carries for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in vivo inspired by human glucokinase, resulting in safe and effective treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus in mouse models. This study will help understand the biology of biomembranes and facilitate the engineering of nanoplatforms for biomimicry, biosensing, and controlled delivery applications.

Abstract
Microneedles (MNs) are minimally invasive tridimensional biomedical devices that bypass the skin barrier resulting in systemic and localized pharmacological effects. Historically, biomaterials such as carbohydrates, due to their physicochemical properties, have been used widely to fabricate MNs. Owing to their broad spectrum of functional groups, carbohydrates permit designing and engineering with tunable properties and functionalities. This has led the carbohydrate-based microarrays possessing the great potential to take a futuristic step in detecting, drug delivery, and retorting to biologicals. In this review, the crucial and extensive summary of carbohydrates such as hyaluronic acid, chitin, chitosan, chondroitin sulfate, cellulose, and starch has been discussed systematically, using PRISMA guidelines. It also discusses different approaches for drug delivery and the mechanical properties of biomaterial-based MNs, till date, progress has been achieved in clinical translation of carbohydrate-based MNs, and regulatory requirements for their commercialization. In conclusion, it describes a brief perspective on the future prospects of carbohydrate-based MNs referred to as the new class of topical drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Viral-associated respiratory infectious diseases are one of the most prominent subsets of respiratory failures, known as viral respiratory infections (VRI). VRIs are proceeded by an infection caused by viruses infecting the respiratory system. For the past 100 years, viral associated respiratory epidemics have been the most common cause of infectious disease worldwide. Due to several drawbacks of the current anti-viral treatments, such as drug resistance generation and non-targeting of viral proteins, the development of novel nanotherapeutic or nano-vaccine strategies can be considered essential. Due to their specific physical and biological properties, nanoparticles hold promising opportunities for both anti-viral treatments and vaccines against viral infections. Besides the specific physiological properties of the respiratory system, there is a significant demand for utilizing nano-designs in the production of vaccines or antiviral agents for airway-localized administration. SARS-CoV-2, as an immediate example of respiratory viruses, is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the coronaviridae family. COVID-19 can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, similarly to other members of the coronaviridae. Hence, reviewing the current and past emerging nanotechnology-based medications on similar respiratory viral diseases can identify pathways towards generating novel SARS-CoV-2 nanotherapeutics and/or nano-vaccines.

Abstract
Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (A-PDT) is a modern and non-invasive therapeutic modality. Nanostructures like the polymeric nanocapsules (NC) has proved to be a system that has enormous potential to improve current antimicrobial therapeutic practice. NC of Zinc phenyl-thio-phthalocyanine and Amphotericin B association (NC/ZnS4Pc + AMB) built with poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) 50:50 using the preformed polymer interfacial deposition method were developed at a 0.05 mg mL- 1 theoretical concentration to improve antifungal activity with two actives association and assistance from PDTa. It showed an average particle diameter of 253.8 ± 17.3, an average polydispersity index of 0.36 ± 0.01, and a negative Zeta potential average of -31.03 ± 5.54 for 158 days. UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopy analyses did not show changes in photophysical properties in the steady-state of NC/ZnS4Pc + AMB counterparts free ZnS4Pc. The encapsulation percentage of actives was 89.24 % and 7.40 % for ZnS4Pc and AMB, respectively. Cell viability assay using NIH/3T3 ATCC® CRL-1658 ™ cells line showed no cytotoxicity for the concentrations tested. The photodynamic activity assay using NC/ZnS4Pc + AMB diluted showed fungal toxicity against Candida albicans yeast with energetic fluences of 12 J.cm-2 and 25 J.cm-2 by a decrease in cell viability. The MFC assay demonstrated a fungistatic activity for the conditions employed in the PDTa assay. The results show that NC/ZnS4Pc + AMB is a promising nanomaterial for antimicrobial inactivation using PDT.

Abstract
Polypeptides are an important class of biodegradable polymers that have been widely used in drug delivery field. Owing to the controllable synthesis and robust side chain-functionalization ability, polypeptides have long been ideal candidates for conjugation with anticancer drugs. The chemical conjugation of anticancer drugs with polypeptides, termed polypeptides-drug conjugates, has demonstrated several advantages in improving pharmacokinetics, enhancing drug targeting, and controlling drug release, thereby leading to enhanced therapeutic outcomes with reduced side toxicities. This review focuses on the recent advances in the design and preparation of polypeptides-drug conjugates for enhanced anticancer therapy. Strategies for conjugation of different types of drugs, including small-molecule chemotherapeutic drugs, proteins, vascular disrupting agents, and gas molecules, onto polypeptides backbone are summarized. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives on the development of innovative polypeptides-drug conjugates for clinical cancer treatment are also presented.

Abstract
The cell surface is the forward position in cancer immunotherapy, with surface ligand and receptor interactions between various cells for determining immune privilege or recognition. Therefore, cell surface engineering (CSE) that manipulates the surface interactions between the immune effector cells (IECs) and tumor cells represents a promising means for eliciting effective anticancer immunity. Specifically, taking advantage of the development in biomaterials and nanotechnology, the use of functional bionanomaterials for CSE is attracting more and more attention in recent years. Rationally designed functional biomaterials have been applied to construct artificial functional modules on the surface of cells through genetic engineering, metabolic labeling, chemical conjugation, hydrophobic insertion, and many other means, and the CSE process can be performed both ex vivo and in vivo, on either IECs or tumor cells, and results in enhanced anticancer immunity and various new cancer immunity paradigms. In this review, we will summarize the recent exciting progresses made in the application of functional bionanomaterials for CSE especially in establishing effective recognition and interaction between IECs and tumor cells.

Acta Biomater 2021; 125:280-289. [PMID: 33677162 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.02.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2020] [Revised: 02/25/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
It is highly tempting to develop high-efficacy targeted nanotherapeutics based on FDA approved polymers like PLGA. Herein, we describe facile fabrication of robust, hyaluronic acid-surfaced and disulfide-crosslinked star-PLGA nanoparticles (HA-sPLGA XNPs) for targeted and reduction-triggered release of docetaxel (DTX), achieving markedly enhanced treatment of A549 lung tumor in vivo. HA-sPLGA XNPs carrying 5.2 wt.% DTX (DTX-HA-sPLGA XNPs) had a size of 105.5 ± 0.5 nm and great stability while almost completely released DTX under 10 mM glutathione. Confocal and flow cytometry experiments revealed fast cellular uptake of HA-sPLGA XNPs by CD44-overexpressing A549 cells. DTX-HA-sPLGA XNPs held much higher potency to A549 cells than DTX-loaded HA-surfaced and non-crosslinked star-PLGA nanoparticles (DTX-HA-sPLGA NPs), DTX-loaded HA-surfaced and non-crosslinked linear-PLGA nanoparticles (DTX-HA-lPLGA NPs), and free DTX (IC50 = 0.18 versus 0.38, 1.21 and 0.83 µg DTX equiv./mL). Intriguingly, DTX-HA-sPLGA XNPs revealed a prolonged elimination half-life of 4.18 h and notable accretion of 9.49%ID/g in A549 tumor after 8 h injection. Accordingly, DTX-HA-sPLGA XNPs demonstrated significantly better suppression of subcutaneous A549 lung tumor than DTX-HA-PLGA NPs, DTX-HA-lPLGA NPs, and free DTX controls. HA-sPLGA XNPs with low toxicity and multi-functionality appear to be a unique targeted vehicle for chemotherapy of CD44-overexpressing tumors. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: PLGA nanoparticles with superior safety and biodegradability are among the most advanced vehicles for therapeutic delivery. The efficacy of nanomedicines based on PLGA is, however, suboptimal, due to poor tumor cell selectivity and uptake, drug leakage, and slow drug release at the pathological site. It is highly desired to develop functional PLGA nanoparticles to improve their tumor-targeting ability and therapeutic efficacy. The sophisticated fabrication and potential toxicity concerns of reported novel PLGA nanoformulations, nevertheless, preclude their clinical translation. Here, we developed hyaluronic acid-surfaced and disulfide-crosslinked star-PLGA nanoparticles (HA-sPLGA XNPs) that enabled stable encapsulation and targeted delivery of docetaxel (DTX) to CD44+ A549 lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, affording markedly improved tumor accumulation and repression and lower side effects compared with free DTX control. Importantly, HA-sPLGA XNPs are based on fully biocompatible materials and comparably simple to fabricate. The evident tumor targetability and safety makes HA-sPLGA XNPs a unique and potentially translatable platform for chemotherapy of CD44+ cancers.

Distinct chemical composition and enzymatic treatment induced human endothelial cells survival in acellular ovine aortae. BMC Res Notes 2021; 14:126. [PMID: 33827673 PMCID: PMC8028817 DOI: 10.1186/s13104-021-05538-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2020] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The current experiment aimed to assess the impact of detergents such as 3% Triton X-100, 1% peracetic acid, 1% Tween-20, and 1% SDS in combination with Trypsin–EDTA on acellularization of ovine aortae after 7 days. Results Hematoxylin–Eosin staining showed an appropriate acellularization rate in ovine aortae, indicated by a lack of cell nuclei in the tunica media layer. DAPI staining confirmed the lack of nuclei in the vascular wall after being exposed to the combination of chemical and enzymatic solutions. Verhoeff-Van Gieson staining showed that elastin fibers were diminished in acellular samples compared to the control group while collagen stands were unchanged. CCK-8 survival assay showed enhanced viability in human umbilical vein endothelial cells 5 days after being cultured on decellularized samples compared to the cells cultured on a plastic surface (p < 0.05). SEM imaging showed flattening of endothelial cells on the acellular surface.

Abstract
Increasing threats from both pathogenic infections and antibiotic resistance highlight the pressing demand for nonantibiotic agents and alternative therapies. Herein, we report several new phenothiazinium-based derivatives, which could be readily synthesized via fragment-based assembly, which exhibited remarkable bactericidal activities both in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, in contrast to numerous clinically and preclinically used antibacterial photosensitizers, these compounds were able to eliminate various types of microorganisms, including Gram-(+) Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Gram-(-) Escherichia coli, multidrug-resistant S. aureus, and their associated biofilms, at low drug and light dosages (e.g., 0.21 ng/mL in vitro and 1.63 ng/cm2 in vivo to eradicate S. aureus at 30 J/cm2). This study thus unveils the potential of these novel phenothiaziniums as potent antimicrobial agents for highly efficient photodynamic antibacterial chemotherapy.

Abstract
Every year, new organisms that survive and colonize adverse environments are discovered and isolated. Those organisms, called extremophiles, are distributed throughout the world, both in aquatic and terrestrial environments, such as sulfurous marsh waters, hydrothermal springs, deep waters, volcanos, terrestrial hot springs, marine saltern, salt lakes, among others. According to the ecosystem inhabiting, extremophiles are categorized as thermophiles, psychrophiles, halophiles, acidophiles, alkalophilic, piezophiles, saccharophiles, metallophiles and polyextremophiles. They have developed chemical adaptation strategies that allow them to maintain their cellular integrity, altering physiology or improving repair capabilities; one of them is the biosynthesis of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), which constitute a slime and hydrated matrix that keep the cells embedded, protecting from environmental stress (desiccation, salinity, temperature, radiation). EPS have gained interest; they are explored by their unique properties such as structural complexity, biodegradability, biological activities, and biocompatibility. Here, we present a review concerning the biosynthesis, characterization, and potential EPS applications produced by extremophile microorganisms, namely, thermophiles, halophiles, and psychrophiles. A bibliometric analysis was conducted, considering research articles published within the last two decades. Besides, an overview of the culture conditions used for extremophiles, the main properties and multiple potential applications of their EPS is also presented.

Abstract
Ocular applications of polymeric materials have been widely investigated for medical diagnostics, treatment, and vision improvement. The human eye is a vital organ that connects us to the outside world so when the eye is injured, infected, or impaired, it needs immediate medical treatment to maintain clear vision and quality of life. Moreover, several essential parts of the eye lose their functions upon aging, causing diminished vision. Modern polymer science and polymeric materials offer various alternatives, such as corneal and scleral implants, artificial ocular lenses, and vitreous substitutes, to replace the damaged parts of the eye. In addition to the use of polymers for medical treatment, polymeric contact lenses can provide not only vision correction, but they can also be used as wearable electronics. In this Review, we highlight the evolution of polymeric materials for specific ocular applications such as intraocular lenses and current state-of-the-art polymeric systems with unique properties for contact lens, corneal, scleral, and vitreous body applications. We organize this Review paper by following the path of light as it travels through the eye. Starting from the outside of the eye (contact lenses), we move onto the eye's surface (cornea and sclera) and conclude with intraocular applications (intraocular lens and vitreous body) of mostly synthetic polymers and several biopolymers. Initially, we briefly describe the anatomy and physiology of the eye as a reminder of the eye parts and their functions. The rest of the Review provides an overview of recent advancements in next-generation contact lenses and contact lens sensors, corneal and scleral implants, solid and injectable intraocular lenses, and artificial vitreous body. Current limitations for future improvements are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Purpose The present review article focuses on highlighting the main technologies used as tools that improve the delivery of transdermal biomolecules, addressing them from the point of view of research in the development of transdermal systems that use physical and chemical permeation enhancers and nanocarrier systems or a combination of them. Results Transdermal drug delivery systems have increased in importance since the late 1970s when their use was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They appeared to be an alternative resource for the administration of many potent drugs. The first transdermal drug delivery system used for biomolecules was for the treatment of hormonal disorders. Biomolecules have been used primarily in many treatments for cancer and diabetes, vaccines, hormonal disorders, and contraception. Conclusions The latest technologies that have used such transdermal biomolecule transporters include electrical methods (physical penetration enhancers), some chemical penetration enhancers and nanocarriers. All of them allow the maintenance of the physical and chemical properties of the main proteins and peptides through these clinical treatments, allowing their efficient storage, transport, and release and ensuring the achievement of their target and better results in the treatment of many diseases.

Abstract
Ceranib-2 is a recently discovered, poorly water-soluble potent ceramidase inhibitor, with the ability to suppress cancer cell proliferation and delay tumor growth. However, its poor water solubility and weak cellular bioavailability hinder its use as a therapeutic agent for cancer. PEGylated rosin esters are an excellent platform as a natural polymer for drug delivery applications, especially for controlling drug release due to their degradability, biocompatibility, capability to improve solubility, and pharmacokinetics of potent drugs. In this study, stable aqueous amphiphilic submicron-sized PEG400-rosin ester-ceranib-2 (PREC-2) particles, ranging between 100 and 350 nm in a 1:1 mixture, were successfully synthesized by solvent evaporation mediated by sonication.Conclusion: Stable aqueous PEGylated rosin ester nanocarriers might present a significant solution to improve solubility, pharmacokinetic, and bioavailability of ceranib-2, and hold promises for use as an anticancer adjacent drug after further investigations.

Abstract
One of the most important ideas ever produced by the application of materials science to the medical field is the notion of biomaterials. The nanostructured biomaterials play a crucial role in the development of new treatment strategies including not only the replacement of tissues and organs, but also repair and regeneration. They are designed to interact with damaged or injured tissues to induce regeneration, or as a forest for the production of laboratory tissues, so they must be micro-environmentally sensitive. The existing materials have many limitations, including impaired cell attachment, proliferation, and toxicity. Nanotechnology may open new avenues to bone tissue engineering by forming new assemblies similar in size and shape to the existing hierarchical bone structure. Organic and inorganic nanobiomaterials are increasingly used for bone tissue engineering applications because they may allow to overcome some of the current restrictions entailed by bone regeneration methods. This review covers the applications of different organic and inorganic nanobiomaterials in the field of hard tissue engineering.

Abstract
This study investigated cell viability in the presence of allylamine-modified and plasma-treated electrospun polysuccinimide fiber mats (PSI-AAmp). Low pressure non-equilibrium plasma was used for crosslinking the PSI-AAm. Comparison of FTIR and XPS analyses demonstrated that crosslinking occurred on the surface of the samples. Cell viability was investigated using the MG-63 osteosarcoma cell line and WST-1 viability reagent. Since PSI hydrolyzes to poly(aspartic acid) (PASP), PASP was used in addition to the regular controls (cells only). Phase contrast showed normal morphology in all cases at 24 h; however, in the presence of PSI-AAmp at 72 h, some rounded, dead cells could also be seen, and proliferation was inhibited. Since proliferation in the presence of PASP alone was not inhibited, the cause of inhibition was not the final product of the hydrolysis. Further investigations will be carried out to pinpoint the cause.

Homopolymer self-assembly of poly(propylene sulfone) hydrogels via dynamic noncovalent sulfone-sulfone bonding. Nat Commun 2020; 11:4896. [PMID: 32994414 PMCID: PMC7525563 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-18657-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Natural biomolecules such as peptides and DNA can dynamically self-organize into diverse hierarchical structures. Mimicry of this homopolymer self-assembly using synthetic systems has remained limited but would be advantageous for the design of adaptive bio/nanomaterials. Here, we report both experiments and simulations on the dynamic network self-assembly and subsequent collapse of the synthetic homopolymer poly(propylene sulfone). The assembly is directed by dynamic noncovalent sulfone–sulfone bonds that are susceptible to solvent polarity. The hydration history, specified by the stepwise increase in water ratio within lower polarity water-miscible solvents like dimethylsulfoxide, controls the homopolymer assembly into crystalline frameworks or uniform nanostructured hydrogels of spherical, vesicular, or cylindrical morphologies. These electrostatic hydrogels have a high affinity for a wide range of organic solutes, achieving >95% encapsulation efficiency for hydrophilic small molecules and biologics. This system validates sulfone–sulfone bonding for dynamic self-assembly, presenting a robust platform for controllable gelation, nanofabrication, and molecular encapsulation. Natural biomolecules such as peptides and DNA can dynamically self-organize into diverse hierarchical structures. Here the authors report experiments and simulations on the dynamic network self-assembly and subsequent collapse of the synthetic homopolymer poly(propylene sulfone).

Abstract
Self-assembly potential of new amphiphilic block copolymers containing dextran (Mn 4500, 8000, 15,000) and a semi-rigid deoxycholic acid-oligoethyleneglycol polyester (Mn 2500-8800, 2 or 4 ethyleneglycol units), was evaluated as a function of copolymer composition and self-assembly procedure, using dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. Addition of copolymer solution to water provided small star-like micelles (∼ 100 nm), while addition of water to copolymer solution led to various morphologies and sizes (60-600 nm), depending on polymer composition. Worm-like micelles were obtained from a copolymer containing dextran with Mn 4500 and 66 wt% polyester, and vesicles were formed by copolymers prepared from dextran with Mn 8000 and containing 46 wt% polyester. Presence of a longer oligoethyleneglycol decreased the size of micelles and vesicles due to an enhanced flexibility of the polyester hydrophobic block. The results allow the selection of the most appropriate parameters to obtain the desired aggregate characteristics.

Abstract
The collection of different bulk materials forms the nanoparticles, where the properties of the
nanoparticle are solely different from the individual components before being ensembled. Selfassembled
nanoparticles are basically a group of complex functional units that are formed by gathering
the individual bulk components of the system. It includes micelles, polymeric nanoparticle, carbon nanotubes,
liposomes and niosomes, <i>etc</i>. This self-assembly has progressively heightened interest to control
the final complex structure of the nanoparticle and its associated properties. The main challenge of formulating
self-assembled nanoparticle is to improve the delivery system, bioavailability, enhance circulation
time, confer molecular targeting, controlled release, protection of the incorporated drug from external
environment and also serve as nanocarriers for macromolecules. Ultimately, these self-assembled
nanoparticles facilitate to overcome the physiological barriers <i>in vivo</i>. Self-assembly is an equilibrium
process where both individual and assembled components are subsisting in equilibrium. It is a bottom up
approach in which molecules are assembled spontaneously, non-covalently into a stable and welldefined
structure. There are different approaches that have been adopted in fabrication of self-assembled
nanoparticles by the researchers. The current review is enriched with strategies for nanoparticle selfassembly,
associated properties, and its application in therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy has been applied for the treatment of many diseases, especially skin diseases. However, poor aqueous solubility and toxicity of some photosensitizer drugs are the main disadvantages for their direct clinical applications. Thus, biotechnology and nanotechnology are important tools in the development of new ways of obtaining photoactive compounds that are biocompatible. We investigated the potential of a new nanostructured photosensitizer, an anthraquinone derivative produced by biotechnological process; then we associated nanotechnology to obtain a nanostructured anthraquinone active molecule. For this, it was prepared a classical nanocapsule formulations containing poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) coating for encapsulation of anthraquinone derivative. These formulations were characterized by their physicochemical, morphological, photophysical properties, and stability. We performed in vitro biocompatibility and photodynamic activity assays of free and nanostructured anthraquinone. Nanocapsule formulations containing anthraquinone derivative showed a nanometric profile with particle size around 250 nm, negative zeta potential around -30 mV, and partially monodisperse. Besides that, characteristic spherical morphology of nanocapsules and homogeneous particle surface were observed by AFM analyses. The in vitro biocompatibility assay showed absence of cytotoxicity for all tested RD/NC concentrations and also for unloaded/NC in NIH3T3 cells. In vitro photoactivation assay using NIH3T3 cells showed that nanocapsules promoted greater drug uptake by NIH3T3 cells, around of 87%, of cell death compared to free drug showed around 48% of cell death. The anthraquinone derivative showed potential for use in PDT. Besides the association with nanocapsules improved cell uptake of photosensitizer resulting in increased cell death compared to free anthraquinone.

Abstract
Polypeptide micelles are widely used as biocompatible nanoplatforms but often suffer from their poor structural stability. Unimolecular polypeptide micelles can effectively address the structure instability issue, but their synthesis with uniform structure and well-controlled and desired sizes remains challenging. Herein we report the convenient preparation of spherical unimolecular micelles through dendritic polyamine-initiated ultrafast ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs). Synthetic polypeptides with exceptionally high molecular weights (up to 85 MDa) and low dispersity (Đ < 1.05) can be readily obtained, which are the biggest synthetic polypeptides ever reported. The degree of polymerization was controlled in a vast range (25-3200), giving access to nearly monodisperse unimolecular micelles with predictable sizes. Many NCA monomers can be polymerized using this ultrafast polymerization method, which enables the incorporation of various structural and functional moieties into the unimolecular micelles. Because of the simplicity of the synthesis and superior control over the structure, the unimolecular polypeptide micelles may find applications in nanomedicine, supermolecular chemistry, and bionanotechnology.

Abstract
Sorafenib, a multitargeted kinase inhibitor, has been reported to elicit a limited therapeutic effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Currently, phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), is emerging as a powerful modality for cancer therapy. However, few studies have been reported the effectiveness of the combination of sorafenib with PDT and PTT in HCC. Herein, we designed and synthesized bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and sorafenib (SFB) nanoparticle (ZnPc/SFB@BSA). The obtained ZnPc/SFB@BSA was able to trigger PDT, PTT, and chemotherapy. After irradiation by a 730 nm light, ZnPc/SFB@BSA significantly suppressed HCC cell proliferation and metastasis while promoted cell apoptosis in vitro. Furthermore, intravenous injection of ZnPc/SFB@BSA led to dramatically reduced tumor growth in an orthotopic xenograft HCC model. More importantly, ZnPc/SFB@BSA presented low toxicity and adequate blood compatibility. Therefore, a combination of ZnPc with sorafenib via BSA-assembled nanoparticle can markedly suppress HCC growth, representing a promising strategy for HCC patients.

Abstract
Based on their tunable physicochemical properties and the possibility of producing cell-specific platforms through surface modification with functional biomolecules, nanoparticles (NPs) represent highly promising tools for biomedical applications. To improve their potential under physiological conditions and to enhance their cellular uptake, combinations with cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) represent a valuable strategy. CPPs are often cationic peptide sequences that are able to translocate across biological membranes and to carry attached cargos inside cells and have thus been recognized as versatile tools for drug delivery. Nevertheless, the conjugation of CPP to NP surfaces is dependent on many properties from both individual components, and further insight into this complex interplay is needed to allow for the fabrication of highly stable but functional vectors. Since CPPs per se are nonselective and enter nearly all cells likewise, additional decoration of NPs with homing devices, such as tumor-homing peptides, enables the design of multifunctional platforms for the targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs. In this review, we have updated the recent advances in the field of CPP-NPs, focusing on synthesis strategies, elucidating the influence of different physicochemical properties, as well as their application in cancer research.

[PMID: 32328415 PMCID: PMC7175344 DOI: 10.1002/advs.201902701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2019] [Revised: 01/07/2020] [Accepted: 02/13/2020] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Physical or chemical crosslinking of polymeric micelles has emerged as a straightforward approach to overcome the intrinsic instability of assemblies. However, the crosslinking process may compromise the responsivity of nanosystems and result in inefficient release of payloads. To address this dilemma, a crosslinking induced reassembly (CIRA) strategy is reported here to simultaneously increase the kinetic and thermodynamic stability and redox-responsivity of polymeric micelles. It is found that the click crosslinking of a model multiblock polyurethane at the micellar interface induces microphase separation between the soft and hard segments. The aggregation of hard domains gathers liable disulfide linkages around the interlayer of micelles, which could facilitate the attack of reducing agents and act as an intelligent on-off switch for high stability and triggered release. As a result, the CIRA approach enables an enhanced tumor targeting, improved biodistribution and excellent therapeutic efficacy in vivo. This work provides a facile and versatile platform for controlled delivery applications.

Abstract
We investigated the co-assembly of amphiphilic diblock copolymers in solutions containing drugs and functional nanoparticles using the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. By controlling the size and the concentration of the functional nanoparticles, the length of the hydrophobic blocks, and the interaction parameters between the hydrophobic block/solvent and the functional nanoparticles, we obtained the desired aggregates to load drugs. The aggregates loaded with drugs can be disk-like micelles, sphere-like micelles and vesicles with functional nanoparticles on the surface. When the solvent environment changes, the drugs loaded in the functional vesicles can release into the solvent. The release content is critically dependent on the repulsive interaction between the drugs and the solvent. The dynamic curve of drug release is obtained. The result is in agreement with the experiments about drug release. Our studies showed that we can precisely control the formation of functional vesicles to load and release drugs. Loading drugs in the process of self-assembly and controlling the release have broad potential in the field of clinical medicine and adding functional nanoparticles can be of great help in drug delivery and medical diagnosis.

Abstract
A nanocomposite based on an antibiotic-loaded hydrogel into a nano-electrospun fibre with antimicrobial and antioxidant capacities is investigated. The material is composed of nanofibres of enzymatic PCL grafted with poly(gallic acid) (PGAL), a recently developed enzyme-mediated hydrophilic polymer that features a multiradical and polyanionic nature in a helicoidal secondary structure. An extensive experimental–theoretical study on the molecular structure and morphological characterizations for this nanocomposite are discussed. The hydrogel network is formed by sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) loaded with the broad-spectrum antibiotic clindamycin. This nano electrospun biomaterial inhibits a strain of Staphylococcus aureus, which is the main cause of nosocomial infections. The SPTT assay demonstrates that PGAL side chains also improve the release rates for this bactericide owing to the crosslinking to the CMC hydrogel matrix. The absence of hemolytic activity and the viability of epithelial cells demonstrates that this nanocomposite has no cytotoxicity. The schematic representation of the hydrogel/nanofiber shows the gaps among electrospun-fibers filled with flowing precursor solution of the hydrogel.![]()

Abstract
Multidrug resistance of cancer cells is a major obstacle for cancer chemotherapy. Herein, we present a nanocarrier that can release chemotherapeutic agents to induce tumor cell death and generate NO under NIR to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer chemotherapy. Owing to the unique structure of the water channel in this controlled release system for chemotherapeutic agents, the nanocarrier surface is equipped with more active sites to graft NO donor molecules. The released NO performs very well in reversing multidrug resistance by inhibiting P-gp expression. Our findings provide new insight into multidrug resistance cancer therapy and controlled release nanocarriers for multiple drugs.

Abstract
Future healthcare requires development of novel theranostic agents that are capable of not only enhancing diagnosis and monitoring therapeutic responses but also augmenting therapeutic outcomes. Here, a versatile and stable nanoagent is reported based on poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(l-thyroxine) (PEG-PThy) block copolypeptide for enhanced single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) dual-modality imaging and targeted tumor radiotherapy in vivo. PEG-PThy acquired by polymerization of l-thyroxine-N-carboxyanhydride (Thy-NCA) displays a controlled Mn , high iodine content of ≈49.2 wt%, and can spontaneously form 65 nm-sized nanoparticles (PThyN). In contrast to clinically used contrast agents like iohexol and iodixanol, PThyN reveals iso-osmolality, low viscosity, and long circulation time. While PThyN exhibits comparable in vitro CT attenuation efficacy to iohexol, it greatly enhances in vivo CT imaging of vascular systems and soft tissues. PThyN allows for surface decoration with the cRGD peptide achieving enhanced CT imaging of subcutaneous B16F10 melanoma and orthotopic A549 lung tumor. Taking advantages of a facile iodine exchange reaction, 125 I-labeled PThyN enables SPECT/CT imaging of tumors and monitoring of PThyN biodistribution in vivo. Besides, 131 I-labeled and cRGD-functionalized PThyN displays remarkable growth inhibition of the B16F10 tumor in mice (tumor inhibition rate > 89%). These poly(l-thyroxine) nanoparticles provide a unique and versatile theranostic platform for varying diseases.

Synthesis of novel N-vinylpyrrolidone/acrylic acid nanoparticles as drug delivery carriers of cisplatin to cancer cells. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2019; 185:110566.

Abstract
This study aimed to synthesize novel polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) bound with cisplatin for the treatment of oral cancer. The NPs were synthesized from N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) and acrylic acid (AA) using 2 different methods based on a surfactant-free emulsion polymerization reaction. An azo initiator (V50) and bisacrylamide crosslinker were used in the reaction to create the NPs. The morphology, physicochemical characteristics, drug loading, and in vitro release were evaluated. Moreover, the cytotoxicity, death induction mechanism, and in vitro intracellular accumulation of cisplatin in HN22 cells were also investigated. Relatively spherical NPs with negative charge were obtained from both synthesis methods with the size in the range of 136-183 nm. The NPs were bound to cisplatin via coordination bond which was confirmed by FT-IR. The optimal NPs to cisplatin ratio was found to be 1:10 with %entrapment efficiency and loading capacity of 12-18% and 4 mmol/g, respectively. Approximately 47-83% of cisplatin was released from the NPs in 7 days in the presence of chloride ions depending on the pH of the release medium. The novel NPs from both methods were nontoxic to gingival fibroblast cells while the IC50 values of cisplatin-loaded NPs on HN22 cells were just above 20 μg/mL. In addition, the cisplatin-loaded NPs demonstrated a higher percentage in the early apoptotic death mechanism. Higher cellular deposition of cisplatin at the earlier period was obtained by the cisplatin-loaded NPs suggesting a slower but safer cancer-killing effect. Therefore, these novel NPs may be promising nanocarriers of cisplatin for oral cancer treatment.

Abstract
In this study, the structure-function relationships of a series of polymersomes composed of well-defined amphiphilic diblock copolymers were investigated. The building blocks were synthesized by clicking hydrophobic polymers, synthesized beforehand, and commercially available poly(ethylene glycol) with photocleavable 2-nitrobenzyl compounds bearing alkyne and maleimide functionalities. All of the tested polymersomes preserved their hollow structures even after sufficient photoirradiation. Nevertheless, the release rate of an entrapped anionic fluorophore was highly dependent on the molecular weight and the type of hydrophobic polymer, as well as on the presence or absence of the charged end groups. Moreover, the polymersomes with a 2-nitrosobenzyl photolysis residue within the hydrophobic shells exhibited photo-induced payload release after complete photolysis. It was concluded that the payload release was mediated by photo-induced permeability changes of the hydrophobic shells rather than the decomposition of their overall structures.

Abstract
The presented drug delivery polymeric systems (DDS), i.e., conjugates and self-assemblies, based on grafted and star-shaped polymethacrylates have been studied for the last few years in our group. This minireview is focused on the relationship of polymer structure to drug conjugation/entrapment efficiency and release capability. Both graft and linear polymers containing trimethylammonium groups showed the ability to release the pharmaceutical anions by ionic exchange, but in aqueous solution they were also self-assembled into nanoparticles with encapsulated nonionic drugs. Star-shaped polymers functionalized with ionizable amine/carboxylic groups were investigated for drug conjugation via ketimine/amide linkers. However, only the conjugates of polybases were water-soluble, giving opportunity for release studies, whereas the self-assembling polyacidic stars were encapsulated with the model drugs. Depending on the type of drug loading in the polymer matrix, their release rates were ordered as follows: Physical ≥ ionic > covalent. The studies indicated that the well-defined ionic polymethacrylates, including poly(ionic liquid)s, are advantageous for designing macromolecular carriers due to the variety of structural parameters, which are efficient for tuning of drug loading and release behavior in respect to the specific drug interactions.
