Abstract
In the current context of the increasing incidence of breast cancer, we aim to develop an efficient drug carrier for breast cancer by constructing an innovative complex consisting of a metal-organic framework (MOF) and a hydrogel. The aim of this initiative is to provide new ideas and tools for breast cancer treatment strategies through scientific research, so as to address the current challenges in breast cancer treatment. In the present study, by employment of a new Co(II)-based coordination polymer with the chemical formula of [Co(H2O)(CH3OH)L]n (1) (H2L = 5-(1 H-tetrazol-5-yl)nicotinic acid) was solvothermally synthesized by reaction of Co(NO3)2·6H2O a mixed solvent of MeOH and water. The characteristics of ligand-based absorption and emission, as unveiled by ultraviolet and fluorescence spectroscopy tests, offer insights into the distinctive electronic transitions and structural features originating from the ligand in compound 1. Using natural polysaccharide hyaluronic acid (HA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) as raw materials, HA/CMCS hydrogels were successfully prepared by chemical method and their internal morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Using paclitaxel as a drug model, we further designed and synthesized a novel metal gel particle-loaded paclitaxel drug and evaluated its inhibitory effect on breast cancer cells. Finally, the hypothesized interactions between the complex and the receptor have been confirmed through molecular docking simulation, and multiple polar interactions have been verified, which further proves the potential anti-cancer capability and excellent bioactivity. Based on this, this composite material prepared from a novel Co(II)-coordinated polymer with paclitaxel hydrogel could provide a useful pathway for the identification and treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Hydrogels generally have broad utilization in healthcare due to their tunable structures, high water content, and inherent biocompatibility. FDA-approved applications of hydrogels include spinal cord regeneration, skin fillers, and local therapeutic delivery. Drawbacks exist in the clinical hydrogel space, largely pertaining to inconsistent therapeutic exposure, short-lived release windows, and difficulties inserting the polymer into tissue. In this study, we engineered injectable, biocompatible hydrogels that function as a local protein therapeutic depot with a high degree of user-customizability. We showcase a PEG-based hydrogel functionalized with bioorthogonal strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) handles for its polymerization and functionalization with a variety of payloads. Small-molecule and protein cargos, including chemokines and antibodies, were site-specifically modified with hydrolysable "azidoesters" of varying hydrophobicity via direct chemical conjugation or sortase-mediated transpeptidation. These hydrolysable esters afforded extended release of payloads linked to our hydrogels beyond diffusion; with timescales spanning days to months dependent on ester hydrophobicity. Injected hydrogels polymerize in situ and remain in tissue over extended periods of time. Hydrogel-delivered protein payloads elicit biological activity after being modified with SPAAC-compatible linkers, as demonstrated by the successful recruitment of murine T-cells to a mouse melanoma model by hydrolytically released murine CXCL10. These results highlight a highly versatile, customizable hydrogel-based delivery system for local delivery of protein therapeutics with payload release profiles appropriate for a variety of clinical needs.

Childhood Brain Tumors: A Review of Strategies to Translate CNS Drug Delivery to Clinical Trials. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15030857. [PMID: 36765816 PMCID: PMC9913389 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15030857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Brain and spinal tumors affect 1 in 1000 people by 25 years of age, and have diverse histological, biological, anatomical and dissemination characteristics. A mortality of 30-40% means the majority are cured, although two-thirds have life-long disability, linked to accumulated brain injury that is acquired prior to diagnosis, and after surgery or chemo-radiotherapy. Only four drugs have been licensed globally for brain tumors in 40 years and only one for children. Most new cancer drugs in clinical trials do not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Techniques to enhance brain tumor drug delivery are explored in this review, and cover those that augment penetration of the BBB, and those that bypass the BBB. Developing appropriate delivery techniques could improve patient outcomes by ensuring efficacious drug exposure to tumors (including those that are drug-resistant), reducing systemic toxicities and targeting leptomeningeal metastases. Together, this drug delivery strategy seeks to enhance the efficacy of new drugs and enable re-evaluation of existing drugs that might have previously failed because of inadequate delivery. A literature review of repurposed drugs is reported, and a range of preclinical brain tumor models available for translational development are explored.

Abstract
To cure the illness in the brain glioblastoma, the Gliadel wafer, as the first FDA-approved chemotherapy, was available on the market since 1997. Due to the complex studies in vivo, more and more researchers have paid their attention to investigate the dynamic process in the brain by numerical methods. This study aimed to simulate the drug concentration in the cavity after drug releases from Gliadel wafers into the brain tumor by a two-dimensional simulation. The government equations, the parameters, and corresponding initial and boundary conditions are specified. Then the models are discretized and solved by finite element method (FEM) and finite difference method (FDM) based on C++ library Adaptive Finite Element Package (AFEPack) and MATLAB, respectively. First of all, the numerical convergence of the method is studied by numerical results represented in several successively refined meshes, which shows the reliability of our method. In the results from FEM, a steady state of the pressure in the normal tissue can be simulated. As for FDM, the changes of drug concentration are displayed at six different times. The numerical method in this paper is an effective tool for the numerical study on drug release from polymers. Additionally, convection is a critical factor in drug transportation. Moreover, the simulation approach can be used as the guild for remedy optimization and dynamic analysis of other drugs (paclitaxel) for tumor treatment in the clinic. This mathematical model has wide applications about drug release in multiple dosage forms, such as long sustained release microspheres, oral extended release hydrophilic matrix tablets, hydrogel, and sustained release topical rings.

Abstract
Chemotherapy and radiation remain as mainstays in the treatment of a variety of cancers globally, yet some therapies exhibit limited specificity and result in harsh side effects in patients. Brain tissue differs from other tissue due to restrictions from the blood-brain barrier, thus systemic treatment options are limited. The focus of this review is on nanogels as local and systemic drug delivery systems in the treatment of brain cancer. Nanogels are a unique local or systemic drug delivery system that is tailorable and consists of a three-dimensional polymeric network formed via physical or chemical assembly. For example, thermosensitive nanogels show promise in their ability to incorporate therapeutic agents in nano-structured matrices, be applied in the forms of sprays or sols to the area from which a tumor has been removed, form adhesive gels to fill the cavity and deliver treatment locally. Their usage does come with complications, such as handling, storage, chemical stability, and degradation. Despite these limitations, the current ongoing development of nanogels allows patient-centered treatment that can be considered as a promising tool for the management of brain cancer.

Abstract
In situ forming implants (ISFIs) allow for a high initial intratumoral concentration and sustained release of the chemotherapeutic. However, clinical translation is impeded primarily due to limited drug penetration from the tumor/boundary interface and poor intratumoral drug retention. Therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) has become a popular approach for improving drug penetration of transdermal devices and increasing cellular uptake of nanoparticles. These effects are driven by the mechanical and thermal bioeffects associated with TUS. In this study, we characterize the released drug penetration, retention, and overall therapeutic response when exposing ISFI to the combination of the mechanical and thermal effects of TUS (C-TUS). ISFIs were intratumorally injected into subcutaneous murine tumors then exposed to C-TUS (exposure: 5 min, duty factor: 0.33, frequency: 3 MHz, intensity: 2.2 W/cm2, pulse duration: 2 ms, pulse repetition frequency: 165 Hz, effective radiating area: 5 cm2, energy delivered: 896 J, time average intensity: 0.88 W/cm2). Tumors treated with the combination of ISFI + C-TUS demonstrated a 2.5-fold increase in maximum drug penetration and a 3-fold increase in drug retention at 5- and 8-days post-injection, respectively, compared to ISFIs without TUS exposure. These improvements in drug penetration and retention translated into an enhanced therapeutic response. Mice treated with ISFI + C-TUS showed a 62.6% reduction in tumor progression, a 50.0% increase in median survival time, and a 26.6% increase in necrotic percentage compared to ISFIs without TUS exposure. Combining intratumoral ISFIs with TUS may be beneficial for addressing some long-standing challenges with local drug delivery in cancer treatment and may serve as a viable noninvasive method to improve the poor clinical success of local drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Brain tumors' severity ranges from benign to highly aggressive and invasive. Bioengineering tools can assist in understanding the pathophysiology of these tumors from outside the body and facilitate development of suitable antitumoral treatments. Here, we first describe the physiology and cellular composition of brain tumors. Then, we discuss the development of three-dimensional tissue models utilizing brain tumor cells. In particular, we highlight the role of hydrogels in providing a biomimetic support for the cells to grow into defined structures. Microscale technologies, such as electrospinning and bioprinting, and advanced cellular models aim to mimic the extracellular matrix and natural cellular localization in engineered tumor tissues. Lastly, we review current applications and prospects of hydrogels for therapeutic purposes, such as drug delivery and co-administration with other therapies. Through further development, hydrogels can serve as a reliable option for in vitro modeling and treatment of brain tumors for translational medicine.

Abstract
Drug delivery to solid tumour involves multiple physiological, biochemical and biophysical processes taking place across a wide range of length and time scales. The therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs is influenced by the complex interplays among the intrinsic properties of tumours, biophysical aspects of drug transport and cellular uptake. Mathematical and computational modelling allows for a well-controlled study on the individual and combined effects of a wide range of parameters on drug transport and therapeutic efficacy, which would not be possible or economically viable through experimental means. A wide spectrum of mathematical models has been developed for the simulation of drug transport and delivery in solid tumours, including PK/PD-based compartmental models, microscopic and macroscopic transport models, and molecular dynamics drug loading and release models. These models have been used as a tool to identify the limiting factors and for optimal design of efficient drug delivery systems. This article gives an overview of the currently available computational models for drug transport in solid tumours, together with their applications to novel drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery and convection-enhanced delivery.

Abstract
Although bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) may serve as an ideal wound dressing, it exhibits no antibacterial properties by itself. Therefore, in the present study BNC was functionalized with the antiseptic drug octenidine. Drug loading and release, mechanical characteristics, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial efficacy were investigated. Octenidine release was based on diffusion and swelling according to the Ritger-Peppas equation and characterized by a time dependent biphasic release profile, with a rapid release in the first 8h, followed by a slower release rate up to 96 h. The comparison between lab-scale and up-scale BNC identified thickness, water content, and the surface area to volume ratio as parameters which have an impact on the control of the release characteristics. Compression and tensile strength remained unchanged upon incorporation of octenidine in BNC. In biological assays, drug-loaded BNC demonstrated high biocompatibility in human keratinocytes and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. In a long-term storage test, the octenidine loaded in BNC was found to be stable, releasable, and biologically active over a period of 6 months without changes. In conclusion, octenidine loaded BNC presents a ready-to-use wound dressing for the treatment of infected wounds that can be stored over 6 months without losing its antibacterial activity.

Abstract
The chemical structure of any drug determines its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Detailed understanding of relationships between the drug chemical structure and individual disposition pathways (i.e., distribution and elimination) is required for efficient use of existing drugs and effective development of new drugs. Different approaches have been developed for this purpose, ranging from statistics-based quantitative structure-property (or structure-pharmacokinetic) relationships (QSPR) analysis to physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models. This review critically analyzes currently available approaches for analysis and prediction of drug disposition on the basis of chemical structure. Models that can be used to predict different aspects of disposition are presented, including: (a) value of the individual pharmacokinetic parameter (e.g., clearance or volume of distribution), (b) efficiency of the specific disposition pathway (e.g., biliary drug excretion or cytochrome P450 3A4 metabolism), (c) accumulation in a specific organ or tissue (e.g., permeability of the placenta or accumulation in the brain), and (d) the whole-body disposition in the individual patients. Examples of presented pharmacological agents include "classical" low-molecular-weight compounds, biopharmaceuticals, and drugs encapsulated in specialized drug-delivery systems. The clinical efficiency of agents from all these groups can be suboptimal, because of inefficient permeability of the drug to the site of action and/or excessive accumulation in other organs and tissues. Therefore, robust and reliable approaches for chemical structure-based prediction of drug disposition are required to overcome these limitations. PBPK models are increasingly being used for prediction of drug disposition. These models can reflect the complex interplay of factors that determine drug disposition in a mechanistically correct fashion and can be combined with other approaches, for example QSPR-based prediction of drug permeability and metabolism, pharmacogenomic data and tools, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling approaches, etc. Moreover, the PBPK models enable detailed analysis of clinically relevant scenarios, for example the effect of the specific conditions on the time course of the analyzed drug in the individual organs and tissues, including the site of action. It is expected that further development of such combined approaches will increase their precision, enhance the effectiveness of drugs, and lead to individualized drug therapy for different patient populations (geriatric, pediatric, specific diseases, etc.).

Abstract
We investigated the effect of punicalagin (PC) on benzo[a]pyrene (BP)-induced DNA adducts in vitro and in vivo. Incubation of BP (1 μM) with rat liver microsomes, appropriate co-factors and DNA in the presence of vehicle or punicalagin (1-40 μM) showed dose-dependent inhibition of the resultant DNA adducts, with essentially complete (97%) inhibition at 40 μM. However, PC failed to inhibit anti-BPDE-induced DNA adducts when tested in an in vitro non-microsomal system, suggesting that the inhibition of the microsomal BP-DNA adducts occurred due to inhibition of P450 1A1 by PC. To determine its efficacy in vivo, female S/D rats were administered punicalagin via the diet (1500 ppm; approximately 19 mg/day/animal) or subcutaneous polymeric implants (two 2-cm, 200mg with 20% drug load; 40 mg PC/implant) and then treated with continuous low-dose of BP by a subcutaneous polymeric implant (2 cm, 200mg with 10% load; 20mg BP/implant) and euthanized after 10 days. Analysis of the lung DNA by (32)P-postlabeling showed significant (60%; p=0.029) inhibition of DNA adducts by PC administered via the implants; the dietary route showed modest (34%) but statistically insignificant inhibition. Furthermore, total PC administered by implants was approximately 38-fold lower compared with the dietary route. Analysis of the lung microsomes showed significant inhibition of cytochrome P450 1A1 activity and induction of glutathione. Release of PC from the implants was found to be biphasic starting with a burst release, followed by a gradual decline. Ultra performance liquid chromatography analysis showed no detectable PC in the plasma but its hydrolyzed product, ellagic acid was readily detected. The plasma concentration of ellagic acid was over two orders of magnitude higher (589 ± 78 ng/mL) in the implant group compared with diet (4.36 ± 0.83 ng/mL). Together, our data show that delivery of PC by implants can reduce its effective dose substantially, and that the inhibition of DNA adducts in vivo occurred presumably due to the conversion of PC to ellagic acid.
