Acta Pharm Sin B 2021; 11:2396-2415. [PMID: 34522592 PMCID: PMC8424287 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2021.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2021] [Revised: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The need for long-term treatments of chronic diseases has motivated the widespread development of long-acting parenteral formulations (LAPFs) with the aim of improving drug pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy. LAPFs have been proven to extend the half-life of therapeutics, as well as to improve patient adherence; consequently, this enhances the outcome of therapy positively. Over past decades, considerable progress has been made in designing effective LAPFs in both preclinical and clinical settings. Here we review the latest advances of LAPFs in preclinical and clinical stages, focusing on the strategies and underlying mechanisms for achieving long acting. Existing strategies are classified into manipulation of in vivo clearance and manipulation of drug release from delivery systems, respectively. And the current challenges and prospects of each strategy are discussed. In addition, we also briefly discuss the design principles of LAPFs and provide future perspectives of the rational design of more effective LAPFs for their further clinical translation.

Abstract
Azobenzene is a well-known derivative of stimulus-responsive molecular switches and has shown superior performance as a functional material in biomedical applications. The results of multiple studies have led to the development of light/hypoxia-responsive azobenzene for biomedical use. In recent years, long-wavelength-responsive azobenzene has been developed. Matching the longer wavelength absorption and hypoxia-response characteristics of the azobenzene switch unit to the bio-optical window results in a large and effective stimulus response. In addition, azobenzene has been used as a hypoxia-sensitive connector via biological cleavage under appropriate stimulus conditions. This has resulted in on/off state switching of properties such as pharmacology and fluorescence activity. Herein, recent advances in the design and fabrication of azobenzene as a trigger in biomedicine are summarized.

Abstract
Materials capable of shape-morphing and/or fluorescence imaging have practical significances in the fields of anti-counterfeiting, information display, and information protection. However, it's challenging to realize these functions in hydrogels due to the poor mechanical properties and lack of tunable fluorescence. A tough hydrogel with good shape-memory ability and phototunable fluorescence is reported here, which affords reprogrammable shape designing and information encoding for dual-encryption. This hydrogel is prepared by incorporating donor-acceptor chromophore units into a poly(1-vinylimidazole-co-methacrylic acid) network, in which the dense intra- and interchain hydrogen bonds lead to desirable features including high stiffness, high toughness, and temperature-mediated shape-memory property. Additionally, the hydrogel shows photomediated tunable fluorescence through a unimer-to-dimer transformation of the chromophores. By combining photolithography and origami/kirigami designs, hydrogel sheets encoded with fluorescent patterns can deform into specific 3D configurations. The geometrically encrypted fluorescent information in the architected hydrogels is readable only after sequential shape recovery and UV light irradiation. As demonstrated by proof-of-concept experiments, both the fluorescent pattern and the 3D configuration are reprogrammable, facilitating repeated information protection and display. The design of tough hydrogels with rewritable fluorescent patterns and reconfigurable shapes should guide the future development of smart materials with improved security and wider applications in aqueous environments.

Abstract
The regulation of enzyme activity is a method to control biological function. We report two systems enabling the ultrasound-induced activation of thrombin, which is vital for secondary hemostasis. First, we designed polyaptamers, which can specifically bind to thrombin, inhibiting its catalytic activity. With ultrasound generating inertial cavitation and therapeutic medical focused ultrasound, the interactions between polyaptamer and enzyme are cleaved, restoring the activity to catalyze the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin. Second, we used split aptamers conjugated to the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In the presence of thrombin, these assemble into an aptamer tertiary structure, induce AuNP aggregation, and deactivate the enzyme. By ultrasonication, the AuNP aggregates reversibly disassemble releasing and activating the enzyme. We envision that this approach will be a blueprint to control the function of other proteins by mechanical stimuli in the sonogenetics field.

Abstract
DNA mechanosensors offer unique properties for mechano-adaptive and self-reporting materials, such as programmable bond strength and geometrical strain response, tunable fluorescent strain sensing, interfacing to biological systems, and the ability to store mechanical information. However, the facile incorporation of advanced DNA motifs into polymer networks and achieving robustness in application settings remain difficult. Herein, we introduce one-component DNA mechanoprobes that can be easily polymerized into polymer hydrogels and even elastomers to allow strain-induced fluorescence sensing. The all-in-one mechanoprobe contains a DNA hairpin for programmable force sensing, an internal fluorophore-quencher pair as a reporter, and methacrylamide groups on both ends for rapid and facile photopolymerization into networks based on the nontoxic water-soluble monomer methoxy triethylene glycol acrylate (mTEGA). In addition to mechanosensing hydrogels, we utilize the low Tg of p(mTEGA) to develop the first bulk elastomer materials with DNA force sensors, which show high elasticity and stronger mechanofluorescence. The system makes decisive steps forward for DNA-based mechanoprobes by overcoming the classical multicomponent design of such probes, allowing photopolymerization useful for the design of complex objects or even 3D printing and demonstrating that such motifs may even be useful in dry bulk materials.

Abstract
Smart hydrogels which can respond to external stimuli have been widely focused with increasing interest. Thereinto, magnetic-responsive hydrogels that are prepared by embedding magnetic nanomaterials into hydrogel networks are more advantageous in biomedical applications due to their rapid magnetic response, precisely temporal and spatial control and non-invasively remote actuation. Upon the application of an external magnetic field, magnetic hydrogels can be actuated to perform multiple response modes such as locomotion, deformation and thermogenesis for therapeutic purposes without the limit of tissue penetration depth. This review summarizes the latest advances of magnetic-responsive hydrogels with focus on biomedical applications. The synthetic methods of magnetic hydrogels are firstly introduced. Then, the roles of different response modes of magnetic hydrogels played in different biomedical applications are emphatically discussed in detail. In the end, the current limitations and future perspectives for magnetic hydrogels are given.

Abstract
Because of the bioactivity and biocompatibility of protein-based gels and the reversible nature of bonds between associating coiled coils, these materials demonstrate a wide spectrum of potential applications in targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. The kinetics of rearrangement (association and dissociation) of the physical bonds between chains has been traditionally studied in shear relaxation tests and small-amplitude oscillatory tests. A characteristic feature of recombinant protein gels is that chains in the polymer network are connected by temporary bonds between the coiled coil complexes and permanent cross-links between functional groups of amino acids. A simple model is developed for the linear viscoelastic behavior of protein-based gels. Its advantage is that, on the one hand, the model only involves five material parameters with transparent physical meaning and, on the other, it correctly reproduces experimental data in shear relaxation and oscillatory tests. The model is applied to study the effects of temperature, the concentration of proteins, and their structure on the viscoelastic response of hydrogels.

Abstract
Sequence-specific nucleic acids recognizing low-molecular-weight ligands or macromolecules (aptamers) have found growing interest for biomedical applications. The present review article summarizes recent applications of aptamers as stimuli-responsive gating units of drug (or dye)-loaded nano- or microcarriers for controlled and targeted drug release. In the presence of cellular biomarkers, the nano-/microcarriers are unlocked by forming aptamer-ligand complexes. Different aptamer-functinalized nano-/microcarriers are presented, including inorganic nanomaterials, metal-organic framework nanoparticles, and soft materials. The chemistries associated with the preparation of the carriers and the mechanisms to unlock the carriers are discussed. Stimuli-responsive gated drug-loaded micro-/nanocarriers hold great promise as functional sense-and-treat materials for the targeted and selective release of drugs.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive metal-organic framework nanoparticles, NMOFs, provide a versatile platform for the controlled release of drugs and biomedical applications. The porous structure of NMOFs, their biocompatibility, low toxicity, and efficient permeability turn the NMOFs into ideal carriers for therapeutic applications. Two general methods to gate the drug-loaded NMOFs and to release the loads were developed: by one method, the loaded NMOFs are coated or surface-modified with stimuli-responsive gates being unlocked in the presence of appropriate chemical (e.g., ions or reducing agents), physical (e.g., light or heat), or biomarker (e.g., miRNA or ATP) triggers. By a second approach, the drug-loaded NMOFs include encoded structural information or co-added agents to induce the structural distortion or stimulate the degradation of the NMOFs. Different chemical triggers such as pH changes, ions, ATP, or redox agents, and physical stimuli such as light or heat are applied to degrade the NMOFs, resulting in the release of the loads. In addition, enzymes, DNAzymes, and disease-specific biomarkers are used to unlock the gated NMOFs. The triggered release of drugs for cancer therapy, anti-blood clotting, and the design of autonomous insulin-delivery systems ("artificial pancreas") are discussed. Specifically, multi-drug carrier systems and functional NMOFs exhibiting dual and cooperative therapeutic functions are introduced. The future perspectives and applications of stimuli-responsive particles are addressed.

Abstract
Polymer nanoparticles and nano/micromotors are novel nanostructures that are of increased interest especially in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer. These structures are modified by antibodies or nucleic acid aptamers and can recognize the cancer markers at the membrane of the cancer cells or in the intracellular side. They can serve as a cargo for targeted transport of drugs or nucleic acids in chemo- immuno- or gene therapy. The various mechanisms, such as enzyme, ultrasound, magnetic, electrical, or light, served as a driving force for nano/micromotors, allowing their transport into the cells. This review is focused on the recent achievements in the development of polymer nanoparticles and nano/micromotors modified by antibodies and nucleic acid aptamers. The methods of preparation of polymer nanoparticles, their structure and properties are provided together with those for synthesis and the application of nano/micromotors. The various mechanisms of the driving of nano/micromotors such as chemical, light, ultrasound, electric and magnetic fields are explained. The targeting drug delivery is based on the modification of nanostructures by receptors such as nucleic acid aptamers and antibodies. Special focus is therefore on the method of selection aptamers for recognition cancer markers as well as on the comparison of the properties of nucleic acid aptamers and antibodies. The methods of immobilization of aptamers at the nanoparticles and nano/micromotors are provided. Examples of applications of polymer nanoparticles and nano/micromotors in targeted delivery and in controlled drug release are presented. The future perspectives of biomimetic nanostructures in personalized nanomedicine are also discussed.

Abstract
Much effort has been made in the development of biomaterials that synthetically mimic the dynamics of the natural extracellular matrix in tissues. Most of these biomaterials specifically interact with cells, but lack the ability to adapt and truly communicate with the cellular environment. Communication between biomaterials and cells is achieved by the development of various materials with enzyme-responsive moieties in order to respond to cellular cues. In this perspective, we discuss different enzyme-responsive systems, from surfaces to supramolecular assemblies. Additionally, we highlight their further prospects in order to create, inspired by nature, fully autonomous adaptive biomaterials that display dynamic reciprocal behavior. This Perspective shows new strategies for the development of biomaterials that may find broad utility in regenerative medicine applications, from scaffolds for tissue engineering to systems for controlled drug delivery.

Abstract
Functional polymer systems with stimuli responses have attracted great attention over the years due to their diverse range of applications. Such polymers are capable of altering their chemical and/or physical properties, such as chemical structures, chain conformation, solubility, shape, morphologies, and optical properties, in response to single or multiple stimuli. Among various stimuli-responsive polymers, those with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties possess the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, large contrast, excellent photostability, and low background noise. The changes in fluorescence signal can be conveniently detected and monitored using portable instruments. The integration of AIE and stimuli responses into one polymer system provides a feasible and effective strategy for the development of smart polymers with high sensitivity to environmental variations. Here, we review the recent advances in the design, preparation, performance, and applications of functional synthetic polymer systems with AIE and stimuli responses. Various AIE-based polymer systems with responsiveness toward single physical or chemical stimuli as well as multiple stimuli are summarized with specific examples. The current challenges and perspectives on the future development of this research area will also be discussed at the end of this review.

Abstract
Inspired by nature, diverse biomimetic hydrogel actuators are fabricated and become one of the most essential components of bionics research. Usually, the anisotropic structure of a hydrogel actuator is generated at the early fabrication process, only a specific shape transformation behavior can be produced under external stimuli, and thus has limited the development of hydrogel actuators toward the biomimetic shape deformation behavior. Herein, a novel bilayer hydrogel having a thermoresponsive actuating layer and a metal ion-responsive memorizing layer is proposed, therefore, a 2D hydrogel film can be fixed into various 3D shapes via supramolecular metal-ligand coordination, with further realizing programmable 4D shape deformation under the stimulus of temperature. By manipulating the temporary shapes via shape memory behavior, various temporary anisotropic structures can be obtained via the bilayer hydrogel, thus producing diverse reversible shape deformation performances, which is expected to promote the development of intelligent polymeric materials.

Abstract
Most of chemiluminescence (CL) substrates exhibit the flash-type light emission. Therefore, the long-lasting CL system is always the crown in the field of CL-based analysis methodology. In this work, we constructed a Dox-ABEI chimeric magnetic DNA hydrogel (MDH) as a novel protease-free long-lasting CL reaction system. The functional MDH can transform flash-type ABEI/H2O2/CO2+ reaction into a glow-type CL system because of its block effect on delaying the diffusion rate of co-reactants, making the CL reaction gradually occur. More importantly, the functional MDH possessed the advantages of biocompatibility and controllability and could be well-designed to incorporate different biosensing strategies. Subsequently, we established a functional MDH-based long-lasting CL immunoassay system for ultrasensitive and highly specific detection of d-dimer and fibrin degradation products (FDPs). The designed CL immunoassay can detect d-dimer and FDP down to 53.7 and 31.6 fg/mL, respectively, with a wide line ranging from 100 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL, which was superior to the previously reported CL biosensing strategies. Moreover, benefiting from the magnetic separation of MDH and excellent CL performance, the developed immunoassaying method was successfully applied in the detection of clinical samples, which showed a close correlation with clinical reference technology. Thus, this functional MDH proved to be an excellent long-lasting CL system and a potential technical platform for clinical bioanalysis applications.

Abstract
A fluorescent polymer was synthesized using N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) crosslinked with a divinylazonaphthol monomer via radical emulsion polymerization. Because the crosslinked polymer contained an aggregation-induced emissive (AIE) azonaphthol-based crosslinker, a thermoreversible sol-gel transformation and gelation-induced reversible fluorescence alteration were successfully attained in an aqueous medium. Like typical PNIPAM, the size and transmittance of the polymer dramatically decreased near the lower critical solution temperature (LCST, 36 °C). Such gelation facilitated aggregation of the polymer chains, resulting in the close contact between azonaphthol groups producing fluorescence. The crosslinked polymer exhibited changes in dual properties: one is related to PNIPAM structural alteration, which corresponds to conventional swelling/shrinkage behavior; and the other is involved in the reversible fluorescence change in response to the swelling/shrinkage. Because the major backbone of the polymer was composed of NIPAM with an LCST at 36 °C, the resultant polymer is expected to have potential applications in biologically related fields.

Abstract
The simpler, the better. A series of simple, neutral and ultralow-molecular-weight (MW: 140-200) hydrazide-derived supramolecular gelators have been designed and synthesized in two straightforward steps. For non-conjugated cyclohexane-derived hydrazides, their monomers can self-assemble to form gels through intermolecular hydrogen bonds and dipole-dipole interactions. Significantly, conjugated phthalhydrazide can self-aggregate into planar and circular trimers through intermolecular hydrogen bonds and then self-assemble to form gels through intermolecular π-π stacking interactions. It is interesting that these simple gelators exhibit unusual properties, such as self-healing, multi-response fluorescence, and visual and selective recognition of chiral (R)/(S)-1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diamine and S2- through much different times of gel re-formation and blue-green color change, respectively. These results underline the importance of supramolecular gels and extend the scope of supramolecular gelators.

Abstract
Oxalate is commonly employed as adjuvant of pesticide agent, causing renal injury of human even in trace residues. Despite the great achievements of the existing point-of-care testing (POCT) technology, accurate on-site screening of oxalate remains a tricky issue. To this aim, we proposed a "lab in a tube" platform which integrated portable hydrogel kit with smartphone for real-time monitoring of oxalate to achieve quantitatively precise analysis. In this work, a stimuli-responsive hydrogel-based kit was constructed via embedding manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets into sodium alginate hydrogel system. Based on the intrinsic oxidase-like activity, MnO2 nanosheets-based nanozyme triggered color reaction by introducing a common sensing probe 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine. Meanwhile, the presence of oxalate would decompose MnO2 nanosheets, inducing the decrease of nanozyme activity, which resulted in the color response of portable kit. Coupling with ImageJ software, the image information of kit captured via smartphone could be transduced into the hue intensity, which provided a directly quantitative tool to detect oxalate with a detection limit of 8.0 μmol L-1. This portable smartphone biosensor was successfully applied for screening urine sample within 10 min for high-throughput analysis (twelve samples) without the need for any advanced analytical instruments. Based on the merits of simple operation, cost-efficiency, and good selectivity, the availability of the miniaturized biosensor platform for POCT will achieve the requirements of routine screening and disease prevention.

Abstract
Smart biocatalysts, in which enzymes are conjugated to stimuli-responsive polymers, have gained considerable attention because of their catalytic switchability and recyclability. Although many systems have been developed, they require separate laboratory techniques for their recovery, making them unsuitable for many practical applications. To address these issues, we designed a thermomagneto-responsive biocatalyst by immobilizing an enzyme on the terminal of thermo-responsive polymer brushes tethered on magnetic nanoparticle (NP) clusters. The concept is demonstrated by a system consisting of iron oxide NPs, poly(N-isopropyl-acrylamide), and a malonyl-Coenzyme A synthetase (MatB). By using free malonate and coenzyme A (CoA), the designed catalyst exhibits adequate activity for the production of malonyl-CoA. Thanks to the use of a magnetic NP cluster, whose magnetic moment is high, this system is fully recoverable under the magnetic field at above 32 °C because of the collapse of the thermo-responsive polymer shell in the clusters. In addition, the recycled catalyst maintains moderate activity even after three cycles, and it also shows excellent catalytic switchability, that is, negligible catalytic activity at 25 °C because of the blockage of the active sites of the enzyme by the extended hydrophilic polymer chains but great catalytic activity at a temperatures above the lower critical solution temperature at which the enzymes are exposed to the reaction medium because of the thermo-responsive contraction of polymer chains. Because the azide functionality in our system can be easily functionalized depending upon our need, such catalytically switchable, fully recoverable, and recyclable multiresponsive catalytic systems can be of high relevance for other cell-free biosynthetic approaches.
