Abstract
Chemical reaction networks (CRN) embedded in hydrogels can transform responsive materials into complex self-regulating materials that generate feedback to counter the effect of external stimuli. This study presents hydrogels containing the β-cyclodextrin (CD) and ferrocene (Fc) host-guest pair as supramolecular crosslinks where redox-responsive behavior is driven by the enzyme-fuel couples horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-H2 O2 and glucose oxidase (GOx)-d-glucose. The hydrogel can be tuned from a responsive to a self-regulating supramolecular system by varying the concentration of added reduction fuel d-glucose. The onset of self-regulating behavior is due to formation of oxidation fuel in the hydrogel by a cofactor intermediate GOx[FADH2 ]. UV/Vis spectroscopy, rheology, and kinetic modeling were employed to understand the emergence of out-of-equilibrium behavior and reveal the programmable negative feedback response of the hydrogel, including the adaptation of its elastic modulus and its potential as a glucose sensor.

Recent Advancements in Stimuli Responsive Drug Delivery Platforms for Active and Passive Cancer Targeting. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:670. [PMID: 33562376 PMCID: PMC7914759 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13040670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2020] [Revised: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The tumor-specific targeting of chemotherapeutic agents for specific necrosis of cancer cells without affecting the normal cells poses a great challenge for researchers and scientists. Though extensive research has been carried out to investigate chemotherapy-based targeted drug delivery, the identification of the most promising strategy capable of bypassing non-specific cytotoxicity is still a major concern. Recent advancements in the arena of onco-targeted therapies have enabled safe and effective tumor-specific localization through stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems. Owing to their promising characteristic features, stimuli-responsive drug delivery platforms have revolutionized the chemotherapy-based treatments with added benefits of enhanced bioavailability and selective cytotoxicity of cancer cells compared to the conventional modalities. The insensitivity of stimuli-responsive drug delivery platforms when exposed to normal cells prevents the release of cytotoxic drugs into the normal cells and therefore alleviates the off-target events associated with chemotherapy. Contrastingly, they showed amplified sensitivity and triggered release of chemotherapeutic payload when internalized into the tumor microenvironment causing maximum cytotoxic responses and the induction of cancer cell necrosis. This review focuses on the physical stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems and chemical stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems for triggered cancer chemotherapy through active and/or passive targeting. Moreover, the review also provided a brief insight into the molecular dynamic simulations associated with stimuli-based tumor targeting.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP), a potent acute-phase reactant that increases rapidly in response to inflammation, tissue damage or infections, is also considered an indicator of the risk of cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. Recent advances in nanofabrication and nanophotonic technologies have prompted the optical plasmonic phenomena to be tailored for specific detection of human serum CRP into label-free devices. We review the CRP-specific detection platforms with high sensitivity, which feature the thin metal films for surface plasmon resonance, nano-enhancers of zero dimensional nanostructures, and metal nanoparticles for localized surface plasmon resonance. The protocols used for various types of assay reported in literature are also outlines with surface chemical pretreatment required for specific detection of CRPs on a plasmonic surface. Properties including sensitivity and detection range are described for each sensor device reviewed, while challenges faced by plasmonic CRP sensors are discussed in the conclusion, with future directions towards which research efforts need to be made.

Abstract
New achievements in the realm of nanoscience and innovative techniques of nanomedicine have moved micro/nanoparticles (MNPs) to the point of becoming actually useful for practical applications in the near future. Various differences between the extracellular and intracellular environments of cancerous and normal cells and the particular characteristics of tumors such as physicochemical properties, neovasculature, elasticity, surface electrical charge, and pH have motivated the design and fabrication of inventive "smart" MNPs for stimulus-responsive controlled drug release. These novel MNPs can be tailored to be responsive to pH variations, redox potential, enzymatic activation, thermal gradients, magnetic fields, light, and ultrasound (US), or can even be responsive to dual or multi-combinations of different stimuli. This unparalleled capability has increased their importance as site-specific controlled drug delivery systems (DDSs) and has encouraged their rapid development in recent years. An in-depth understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these DDS approaches is expected to further contribute to this groundbreaking field of nanomedicine. Smart nanocarriers in the form of MNPs that can be triggered by internal or external stimulus are summarized and discussed in the present review, including pH-sensitive peptides and polymers, redox-responsive micelles and nanogels, thermo- or magnetic-responsive nanoparticles (NPs), mechanical- or electrical-responsive MNPs, light or ultrasound-sensitive particles, and multi-responsive MNPs including dual stimuli-sensitive nanosheets of graphene. This review highlights the recent advances of smart MNPs categorized according to their activation stimulus (physical, chemical, or biological) and looks forward to future pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Existing methods for the covalent functionalization of nanoparticles rely on kinetically controlled reactions, and largely lack the sophistication of the preeminent oligonucleotide-based noncovalent strategies. Here we report the application of dynamic covalent chemistry for the reversible modification of nanoparticle (NP) surface functionality, combining the benefits of non-biomolecular covalent chemistry with the favorable features of equilibrium processes. A homogeneous monolayer of nanoparticle-bound hydrazones can undergo quantitative dynamic covalent exchange. The pseudomolecular nature of the NP system allows for the in situ characterization of surface-bound species, and real-time tracking of the exchange reactions. Furthermore, dynamic covalent exchange offers a simple approach for reversibly switching-and subtly tuning-NP properties such as solvophilicity.

Abstract
In this minireview, we summarize current research dealing with the combination of noble-metal nanoparticles and different families of supramolecular macrocycles (cyclodextrins, cucurbit[n]urils, calixarenes, and pillar[n]arenes). We intended to select relevant publications on the synthesis of noble-metal nanoparticles with macrocycles acting as capping agents or/and reducing agents, as well as on the post-synthetic metal-nanoparticle modification with macrocycles. We also discuss strategies in which supramolecular chemistry is applied to direct the self-assembly of nanoparticles and formation of polymer composites. We finally describe the main applications of these materials in various fields.

Abstract
Fundamental insights into the factors that control the properties and structure of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) based assemblies enable the design and construction of new materials. The dimensions (shape and size) and the optical properties of AuNP assemblies are affected by the electronic properties of the organic cross-linker and the nature of the AuNPs.
