Abstract
Combination therapy, where two or more therapeutic agents are combined to target different cellular pathways, is an effective tool in cancer treatment but often difficult to execute. Here we present the collagen peptide-based platform that allows for synchronous and colocalized cellular delivery of three different agents. The peptide is a hybrid between collagen and cell penetrating peptide (CPP) that assembles into a heterotrimer helix and forms fully organic, high aspect ratio nanoparticles. The validity of the approach was tested with three chemically different agents (Paclitaxel, Doxorubicin, and 5-Fluorouracil; a combination used in clinical treatment of (ER)-positive and (PR)-positive breast cancer) conjugated to N-terminus of the peptide. The design of this peptide-based drug delivery system provides several advantages: it avoids drug loading problems; removes the need for orthogonal synthesis; and allows for colocalized delivery of up to three drugs (which leads to the same biodistribution for each drug). In addition, hybrid collagen/CPP peptides are known to enhance cellular uptake and improve solubility of drugs. The synergistic effect, in terms of enhanced efficacy, of the Paclitaxel-Doxorubicin-5-Fluorouracil combination was also calculated. We envision self-assembling peptides as a platform for drug codelivery that can be expanded into a library of personalized combinations that may also include other functionalities like targeting or imaging.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to give an updated perspective about the methods for chemical modifications of hyaluronic acid (HA) toward the development of new applications in medical devices and material engineering. After a brief introduction on chemical, structural and biological features of this important natural polysaccharide, the most important methods for chemical and physical modifications are disclosed, discussing both on the formation of new covalent bonds and the interaction with other natural polysaccharides. These strategies are of paramount importance in the production of new medical devices and materials with improved properties. In particular, the use of HA in the development of new materials by means of additive manufacturing techniques as electro fluid dynamics, i.e., electrospinning for micro to nanofibres, and three-dimensional bioprinting is also discussed.

Abstract
Nowadays, cancer represents a major public health issue, a substantial economic issue, and a burden for society. Limited by numerous disadvantages, conventional chemotherapy is being replaced by new strategies targeting tumor cells. In this context, therapies based on biopolymer prodrug systems represent a promising alternative for improving the pharmacokinetic and pharmacologic properties of drugs and reducing their toxicity. The polymer-directed enzyme prodrug therapy is based on tumor cell targeting and release of the drug using polymer–drug and polymer–enzyme conjugates. In addition, current trends are oriented towards natural sources. They are biocompatible, biodegradable, and represent a valuable and renewable source. Therefore, numerous antitumor molecules have been conjugated with natural polymers. The present manuscript highlights the latest research focused on polymer–drug conjugates containing natural polymers such as chitosan, hyaluronic acid, dextran, pullulan, silk fibroin, heparin, and polysaccharides from Auricularia auricula.

Abstract
Drug covalently bound to polymers had formed, lately, platforms with great promise in drug delivery. These drug polymer conjugates (DPC) boosted drug loading and controlled medicine release with targeting ability. Herein, the ability of entecavir (E) conjugated to hyaluronic acid (HA) forming the core of vitamin E coated lipid nanohybrids (EE-HA LPH), to target Kupffer cells and hepatocyte had been proved. The drug was associated to HA with efficiency of 93.48 ± 3.14 % and nanohybrids loading of 22.02 ± 2.3 %. DiI labelled lipidic nanohybrids improved the macrophage uptake in J774 cells with a 21 day hepatocytes retention post intramuscular injection. Finally, in vivo biocompatibility and safety with respect to body weight, organs indices and histopathological alterations were demonstrated. Coating with vitamin E and conjugation of E to HA (a CD44 ligand), could give grounds for prospective application for vectored nano-platform in hepatitis B.

A novel 5-Fluorocuracil multiple-nanoemulsion used for the enhancement of oral bioavailability in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Saudi J Biol Sci 2022; 29:3704-3716.

Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a drug of choice for colorectal-cancer. But oral therapeutic efficacy of 5-FU is restricted due to their very little bioavailability because of poor membrane permeability and GIT-absorption. We have developed a multiple nanoemulsion (w/o/w i.e. 5-FU-MNE) in which 5-FU incorporated to improve their oral-absorption. Globule-size of opt-5-FU-MNE was 51.64 ± 2.61 nm with PDI and ZP 0.101 ± 0.001 and −5.59 ± 0.94, respectively. In vitro 5-FU-release and ex vivo permeation studies exhibited 99.71% release and 83.64% of 5-FU from opt-nanoformulation. Cytotoxic in vitro studies-exhibited that 5-FU in opt-5-FU-MNE was 5-times more potent than 5-FU-S on human-colon-cancer-cell-lines (HT-29). The enhanced Cmax with AUC0-8h with opt-5-FU-MNE was shown extremely significant (p < 0.001) in wistar rat’s plasma in the comparison of oral and i.v. treated group of 5-FU-S by PK-observations. Furthermore, opt-5-FU-MNE was showed much more significant (p < 0.001) results as compared to 5-FU-S (free) on cell lines for human colon cancer (HT-29).

Abstract
For highlighting the predominance of phenolic acid nutraceutical ferulic acid (FR) in regulating the in vivo/vitro performances of anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (Flu) and strengthening their cooperativity in antitumor effect, thus achieving a major breakthrough in the development of drug-nutraceutical cocrystal with synergistic antitumor action, a cocrystallization strategy of dual optimization is created, in which both the in vivo and vitro natures of Flu are improved by exploiting the FR's excellent physicochemical property. Moreover, Flu's anticancer effects were promoted by exerting the assistant antitumor peculiarity of FR. Such dual optimization of FR for Flu in physicochemical properties and anticancer activities is beneficial for realizing synergistic augmentation effect by taking the benefit of the cooperativeness of Flu and FR in the anticancer ability. Based on this idea, a novel cocrystal of Flu and FR, namely, Flu-FR-H2O, is successfully assembled as the first 5-fluorouracil-nutraceutical cocrystal with synergistic antitumor effect and its explicit structure is resolved. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction demonstrates that Flu and FR have a ratio of 1 : 1 with one equivalent of solvent water in the cocrystal, where one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding helices and FR-Flu hydrogen-bonding pairs, together construct a three-dimensional supramolecular network. By combining experimental evaluation with theoretical analysis, in vitro/vivo pharmaceutical properties are scientifically investigated. Results show that the permeability and aqueous solubility of Flu are respectively elevated by 5.08 and 1.64 folds, which has brought about ameliorated pharmacokinetics, thus providing prolonged retention time and increased oral bioavailability. More interestingly, the cocrystal shows synergistic inhibition ability of Flu and FR against tested tumor cell strains, hence laying the groundwork for reducing the dosage and even the toxic side effects of Flu. As a result of this, the present research not only provides a new strategy for Flu to optimize its physicochemical properties and antitumor activities simultaneously but also offers some opinions for the development of synergistic antitumor pharmaceutical cocrystals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The existing parenteral treatment of cervical cancer has high toxicity and poor distribution of drugs at the targeted site. PURPOSE To formulate localized mucoadhesive cisplatin loaded microparticles based formulation to treat cervical cancer so that enhanced therapeutics benefits with low toxicity could be achieved. METHODS Cisplatin loaded chitosan coated spray-dried microparticles were prepared by ionotropic gelation technique and optimized by Central Composite Design. The spray-dried uncoated and chitosan- coated microparticles were characterized for various parameters (Particle size, Morphology, Drug entrapment efficiency). In vitro drug release study was carried out in simulated vaginal fluids by dialysis membrane method. Ex vivo studies were carried out to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of the developed formulation by the MTT assay. A drug permeability study was performed by Franz diffusion cell using the vaginal tissue of Swiss Albino Mice. RESULTS All in vitro characterization parameters were found to be optimum. The in vitro release studies indicated a controlled release following the Higuchi model. The chitosan-coated microparticles were found to be more cytotoxic than uncoated microparticles and plain cisplatin solution. The chitosan-coated microparticles were found to be more permeable than uncoated microparticles. Finally, in vivo tumor regression and histopathological studies confirmed the significant decrease in tumor volume at different time intervals. CONCLUSION Thus, it can be concluded that mucoadhesive spray-dried microparticles could provide a favorable approach for localized delivery of the anticancer drug via vaginal route against cervical cancer with its enhanced effectiveness.

Abstract
As FDA-approved chemotherapeutic agents, cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and 5-fluorouracil are widely used in clinic but limited by severe side-effects. To ameliorate their respective defects, a series of "dual-prodrug" by linking oxoplatin and 5-FU were designed and synthesized. The assembled compounds 10-17, named Fuplatin, exhibited much higher cytotoxicity against the tested cancer cells while lower cytotoxicity toward the human normal lung cells than free drugs or their combinations. Among them, 14 enhanced cellular accumulation with 62- and 825-fold amount of oxaliplatin and 8 at 9 h, respectively, significantly induced DNA damage and cell apoptosis, and inhibited migration and invasion in HCT-116 cells. Compound 14 arrested the cell cycle at S and G2 phases and up-regulated thymidylate synthase and p53, consistent with the results of the combination, suggesting 14 adopted a collaborative mode of 5-FU and oxaliplatin to kill cancer cells. In vivo, compound 14 showed high antitumor effect and no observable toxicity in NOD/SCID mice bearing HCT-116 tumors.

Peritoneal tumor carcinomatosis: pharmacological targeting with hyaluronan-based bioconjugates overcomes therapeutic indications of current drugs. PLoS One 2014; 9:e112240. [PMID: 25383653 PMCID: PMC4226476 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0112240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2014] [Accepted: 10/09/2014] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis still lacks reliable therapeutic options. We aimed at testing a drug delivery strategy allowing a controlled release of cytotoxic molecules and selective targeting of tumor cells. We comparatively assessed the efficacy of a loco-regional intraperitoneal treatment in immunocompromised mice with bioconjugates formed by chemical linking of paclitaxel or SN-38 to hyaluronan, against three models of peritoneal carcinomatosis derived from human colorectal, gastric and esophageal tumor cell xenografts. In vitro, bioconjugates were selectively internalized through mechanisms largely dependent on interaction with the CD44 receptor and caveolin-mediated endocytosis, which led to accumulation of compounds into lysosomes of tumor cells. Moreover, they inhibited tumor growth comparably to free drugs. In vivo, efficacy of bioconjugates or free drugs against luciferase-transduced tumor cells was assessed by bioluminescence optical imaging, and by recording mice survival. The intraperitoneal administration of bioconjugates in tumor-bearing mice exerted overlapping or improved therapeutic efficacy compared with unconjugated drugs. Overall, drug conjugation to hyaluronan significantly improved the profiles of in vivo tolerability and widened the field of application of existing drugs, over their formal approval or current use. Therefore, this approach can be envisaged as a promising therapeutic strategy for loco-regional treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Abstract
Active targeting of nanoparticles to receptor-overexpressing cancer cells has great potential for enhancing the cellular uptake of nanoparticles and for reducing fast clearance of the nanoparticles from the body. Herein, we present a preparation method of a porous silicon (PSi)-based nanodelivery system for breast cancer targeting, by covalently conjugating a synthesized amide-modified hyaluronic acid (HA(+)) derived polymer on the surface of undecylenic acid-modified thermally hydrocarbonized PSi (UnTHCPSi) nanoparticles. The resulting UnTHCPSi-HA(+) nanoparticles showed relatively small size, reduced polydispersibility, high biocompatibility, improved colloidal and human plasma stability, as well as enhanced cellular interactions and internalization. Moreover, we demonstrated that the enhanced cellular association of UnTHCPSi-HA(+) relies on the capability of the conjugated HA(+) to bind and consequently target CD44 receptors expressed on the surface of breast cancer cells, thus making the HA(+)-functionalized UnTHCPSi nanoparticles a suitable and promising nanoplatform for the targeting of CD44-overexpressing breast tumors and for drug delivery.
