Design and synthesis of TH19P01-Camptothecin based hybrid peptides inducing effective anticancer responses on sortilin positive cancer cells. Bioorg Med Chem 2024; 111:117869. [PMID: 39126834 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2024.117869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2024] [Revised: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Recently, the sortilin receptor (SORT1) was found to be preferentially over-expressed on the surface of many cancer cells, which makes SORT1 a novel anticancer target. The SORT1 binding proprietary peptide TH19P01 could achieve the SORT1-mediated cancer cell binding and subsequent internalization. Inspired by the peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) strategy, the TH19P01-camptothecin (CPT) conjugates were designed, efficiently synthesized, and evaluated for their anticancer potential in this study. The water solubility, in vitro anticancer activity, time-kill kinetics, cellular uptake, anti-migration activity, and hemolysis effects were systematically estimated. Besides, in order to monitor the release of CPT from conjugates in real-time, the CPT/Dnp-based "turn on" hybrid peptide was designed, which indicted that CPT could be sustainably released from the hybrid peptide in both human serum and cancer cellular environments. Strikingly, compared with free CPT, the water solubility, cellular uptake, and selectivity towards cancer cells of hybrid peptide LYJ-2 have all been significantly enhanced. Moreover, unlike free CPT or TH19P01, LYJ-2 exhibited selective anti-proliferative and anti-migration effects against SORT1-positive MDA-MB-231 cells. Collectively, this study not only established efficient strategies to improve the solubility and anticancer potential of chemotherapeutic agent CPT, but also provided important references for the future development of TH19P01 based PDCs targeting SORT1.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a combination of raw herbs and herbal extracts with a plethora of documented beneficial bioactivities, which has unique advantages in anti-tumor therapy, and many of its major bioactive molecules have been identified in recent years due to advances in chemical separation and structural analysis. However, the major chemical classes of plant-derived bioactive compounds frequently possess chemical properties, including poor water solubility, stability, and bioavailability, that limit their therapeutic application. Alternatively, natural small molecules (NSMs) containing these components possess modifiable groups, multiple action sites, hydrophobic side chains, and a rigid skeleton with self-assembly properties that can be exploited to construct self-assembled nanoparticles with therapeutic effects superior to their individual constituents. For instance, the construction of a self-assembled nanodrug delivery system can effectively overcome the strong hydrophobicity and poor in vivo stability of NSMs, thereby greatly improving their bioavailability and enhancing their anti-tumor efficacy. This review summarizes the self-assembly methods, mechanisms, and applications of a variety of NSMs, including terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, and saponins, providing a theoretical basis for the subsequent research on NSMs and the development of SANDDS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Over the years, phytomedicines have been widely used as natural modalities for the treatment and prevention of various diseases by different ethnic groups across the globe. Although, 25% of drugs in the USA contain at least one plant-derived therapeutic compound, currently there is a paucity of plant-derived active medicinal ingredients in the pharmaceutical industry. Scientific evidence-based translation of plant-derived ethnomedicines for their clinical application is an urgent need. The anticancer and associated properties (antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, pro-apoptotic and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) inhibition) of various plant extracts and phytochemicals have been elucidated earlier. Several of the plant derivatives are already in use under prophylactic/therapeutic settings against cancer and many are being investigated under different phases of clinical trials.
Main body
The purpose of this study is to systematically comprehend the progress made in the area of prophylactic and therapeutic potential of the anticancerous plant derivatives. Besides, we aim to understand their anticancer potential in terms of specific sub-phenomena, such as anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, pro-apoptotic and inhibition of EMT, with an insight of the molecules/pathways associated with them. The study also provides details of classes of anticancer compounds, their plant source(s) and the molecular pathway(s) targeted by them. In addition to the antioxidative and antiproliferative potentials of anticancer plant derivatives, this study emphasizes on their EMT-inhibition potential and other ‘anticancer related’ properties. The EMT is highlighted as a phenomenon of choice for targeting cancer due to its role in the induction of metastasis and drug resistance. Different phytochemicals in pre-clinical or clinical trials, with promising chemopreventive/anticancer activities have been enlisted and the plant compounds showing synergistic anticancer activity in combination with the existing drugs have been discussed. The review also unravels the need of carrying out pan-signalome studies for identifying the cardinal pathways modulated by phytomedicine(s), as in many cases, the molecular pathway(s) has/have been randomly studied.
Conclusion
This review systematically compiles the studies regarding the impact of various plant derivatives in different cancers and oncogenic processes, as tested in diverse experimental model systems. Availability of more comprehensive information on anticancer phyto-constituents, their relative abundance in crude drugs, pathways/molecules targeted by phytomedicines, their long-term toxicity data and information regarding their safe use under the combinatorial settings, would open greater avenues of their utilization in future against this dreaded disease.

Abstract
Dipeptides are attractive building blocks for biomaterials in light of their inherent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and simplicity of preparation. Since the discovery of diphenylalanine (Phe-Phe) self-assembling ability into nanotubes, research efforts have been devoted towards the identification of other dipeptide sequences capable of forming these interesting nanomorphologies, although design rules towards nanotube formation are still elusive. In this review, we analyze the dipeptide sequences reported thus far for their ability to form nanotubes, which often feature water-filled supramolecular channels as revealed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as their properties, and their potential biological applications, which span from drug delivery and regenerative medicine, to bioelectronics and bioimaging.

Abstract
There are many benefits to drug delivery from drug-carrier nanostructure systems. It might be developed to carefully control drug release rates or to deliver a precise amount of a therapeutic substance to particular body areas. Self-assembling is the process by which molecules and nanoparticles spontaneously organize into organized clusters. For instance, proteins and peptides can interact with one another to create highly organized supramolecular structures with various properties, such as helical ribbons and fibrous scaffolds. Another advantage of self-assembly is that it may be effective with a variety of materials, including metals, oxides, inorganic salts, polymers, semiconductors, and even organic semiconductors. Fullerene, graphene, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), three of the most fundamental classes of three-dimensionally self-assembling nanostructured carbon-based materials, are essential for the development of modern nanotechnologies. Self-assembled nanomaterials are used in a variety of fields, including nanotechnology, imaging, and biosensors. This review study begins with a summary of various major 3D nanomaterials, including graphene oxide, CNTs, and nanodiamond, as well as 3D self-assembled polyfunctionalized nanostructures and adaptable nanocarriers for drug delivery.

Abstract
Drug self-delivery systems (DSDSs) offer new ways to create novel drug delivery systems (DDSs). In typical DSDSs, therapeutic reagents are not considered passive cargos but active delivery agents of actionable targets. As an advanced drug delivery strategy, DSDSs with positive cooperativity of both free drugs and nanocarriers exhibit the clear merits of unprecedented drug-loading capacity, minimized systemic toxicity, and flexible preparation of nanoscale deliverables for passive targeted therapy. This review highlights the recent advances and future trends in DSDSs on the basis of two differently constructed structures: covalent and noncovalent bond-based DSDSs. Specifically, various chemical and architectural designs, fabrication strategies, and responsive and functional features are comprehensively discussed for these two types of DSDSs. In addition, additional comments on the current development status of DSDSs and the potential applications of their molecular designs are presented in the corresponding discussion. Finally, the promising potential of DSDSs in biological applications is revealed and the relationship between preliminary molecular design of DSDSs and therapeutic effects of subsequent DSDSs biological applications is clarified.

Abstract
Nano-formulated, combinatory therapeutics that control the spatiotemporal aspects of drug release have potential to overcome many of the challenges faced in cancer therapy. Herein, we describe a peptide nanotube functionalized with two anticancer drugs, 5-fluoruracil (5-FU) and camptothecin (CPT). The nanotube was formed via peptide self-assembly, which positioned 5-FU on the surface at the aqueous interface; whereas, CPT was sequestered within the hydrophobic walls. Thus, two different release profiles were observed: rapid release of 5-FU, followed by slower, sustained production of CPT. This profile emerged from the rapid hydrolytic cleavage of 5-FU at the aqueous/nanotube interface, which produced a smaller nanotube comprised of the peptide fragment.

Abstract
The antitumor efficiency and clinical translation of traditional nanomedicines is mainly restricted by low drug loading, complex preparation technology, and potential toxicity caused by the overused carrier materials. In recent decades, small-molecule prodrug nanoassemblies (SMP-NAs), which are formed by the self-assembly of prodrugs themselves, have been widely investigated with distinct advantages of ultrahigh drug-loading and negligible excipients-trigged adverse reaction. Benefited from the simple preparation process, SMP-NAs are widely used for chemotherapy, phototherapy, immunotherapy, and tumor diagnosis. In addition, combination therapy based on the accurate co-delivery behavior of SMP-NAs can effectively address the challenges of tumor heterogeneity and multidrug resistance. Recent trends in SMP-NAs are outlined, and the corresponding self-assembly mechanisms are discussed in detail. Besides, the smart stimuli-responsive SMP-NAs and the combination therapy based on SMP-NAs are summarized, with special emphasis on the structure-function relationships. Finally, the outlooks and potential challenges of SMP-NAs in cancer therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and selective near-infrared fluorescent bioprobes for serum albumin detection and quantification are in high demand for biomedical applications. Herein, we report a near-infrared emitting BODIPY-O-glycoside dye as a turn-on emission sensor for serum albumin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of NIR-emitting BODIPY dyes for serum albumin sensing. Despite the various outstanding photophysical properties of the BODIPY dyes, their insolubility in water/biological media restricts their real biomedical applications. To overcome this issue, highly stable unadulterated BODIPY-O-glycoside nanoparticles (BDP-Glu-NPs) were prepared in aqueous solution by self-assembly of amphiphilic BODIPY-O-glycoside dyes. The BDP-Glu-NPs were characterized by spectroscopic, NMR, DLS and TEM studies. The ability of the BDP-Glu-NPs for the detection and quantification of serum albumin was demonstrated. It showed a 150-fold fluorescence enhancement in the presence of serum albumin, with excellent selectivity over other amino acids, porphyrin, proteins and various inorganic salts. Detection of human serum albumin (HSA) in urine samples showed that the bioprobe is applicable to a clinically significant range of the analytes with very low detection limit. These results suggested that the BDP-Glu-NPs can act as potential bioprobe to quantify albumin in biochemical and clinical samples.

Abstract
Background:
Quinolines are an important class of heterocyclic compounds possessing a
wide range of biological activities. Previously, we had identified Schiff bases of quinoline as potential
anti-inflammatory agents, thus the current work is the continuation of our previous study.
Objective:
In the current study, 3-, 5-, and 8-sulfonamide and 8-sulfonate derivatives of quinoline
(1-50) were synthesized and their anti-inflammatory potential was evaluated. These synthetic analogs
were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity via ROS (Reactive oxygen species) inhibitory
effect produced from phagocytes from human whole blood.
Methods:
The sulfonamide and sulfonate derivatives of quinoline were synthesized via treating 5-,
3-, 8-amino, and 8-hydroxy quinolines with different substituted sulfonyl chlorides in pyridine. The
synthetic molecules were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques and screened for
their anti-inflammatory potential.
Results:
Among the synthetic derivatives 1-50, six compounds showed good to moderate antiinflammatory
activity. Compounds 47 (IC50 = 2.9 ± 0.5 μg/mL), 36 (IC50 = 3.2 ± 0.2 μg/mL), and
24 (IC50 = 6.7 ± 0.3 μg/mL) exhibited enhanced activity as compared to the standard ibuprofen
(IC50 = 11.2 ± 1.9 μg/mL). Compounds 20 (IC50 = 25.5 ± 0.7 μg/mL), 50 (IC50 = 42.9 ± 5.6 μg/mL),
and 8 (IC50 = 53.9 ± 3.1 μg/mL) were moderately active, however, rest of the compounds were
found to be inactive.
Conclusion:
The sulfonamide and sulfonate derivatives of quinoline were found to have promising
anti-inflammatory activity. Further studies on the modification of these molecules may lead to the
discovery of new and potential anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
Cancer is the most ruinous disease globally. Natural products have impressive characteristics, such as exceptional chemical versatility, chemical and biological properties of macromolecular specificity and less toxicity which make them good leads in finding novel drugs. The phytochemicals not only help to prevent but also treat chronic cancerous conditions. The present review attempts to put forth some selected anticancer phytochemicals that had reported omics characteristic and specifically suppressed cancer with in vitro and in vivo activity. Certain issues pertaining to anticancer phytochemicals like delivery to target site in the body and achieving controlled release in order to prevent overdoses have been a major concern for medical researchers worldwide. The most conventional chemotherapy protocols for the treatment of cancer lead to adverse effects that limit biological efficacy and compromise patient outcomes. In order to defeat incompetency of current and upcoming natural anticancer agents and to attain targeted drug delivery with good efficacy and fewer side effects, there is a special focus on novel nanostructured particles and nano approaches consisting of carrier system. Recent studies have led to the discovery of mesoporous and nanoporous drug delivery mechanisms, such as inorganic or organic-based nanosponges. The metal based inorganic systems have exhibited toxicity and non-biodegradable character in vivo. As a result of problems related to inorganic systems, major shift of research from inorganic to organic nanosystems has occurred. About decades ago, researchers developed organic nanosponges to control the limitation of drug delivery and cancer therapies. This review article discusses the development and application of nanosponges encapsulated phytochemicals for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Self-assembled peptide nanofibers (NFs) obtained from β-sheet peptides conjugated with drugs, including antigenic peptides, have recently attracted significant attention. However, extensive studies on the interactions of β-sheet peptide NFs with model cell membranes have not been reported. In this study, we investigated the interactions between three types of NFs, composed of PEG-peptide conjugates with different ethylene glycol (EG) lengths (6-, 12- and 24-mer), and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) Langmuir membranes. When increasing the EG chain length, those interactions significantly decreased considering measurements in the presence of the NFs of: (i) changes in surface pressure of the DPPC Langmuir monolayers and (ii) surface pressure-area (π-A) compression isotherms of DPPC. Because the observed trend was similar to the EG length dependency with regard to cellular association and cytotoxicity of the NFs that was reported previously, the interaction of NFs with phospholipid membranes represented a crucial factor to determine the cellular association and toxicity of the NFs. In contrast to NFs, no changes were observed with varying EG chain length on the interaction of the building block peptide with the DPPC membrane. The results obtained herein can provide a design guideline on the formulation of β-sheet peptide NFs, which may broaden its potential.

Abstract
The self-assembly and coordination of amphiphiles comprised of naphthalenediimide (NDI) and bis(indolyl)methane (BIM) chromophores were investigated as a function of pH and metal. As observed by TEM, SEM and AFM imaging, the self-assembly of NDI-BIM 1 produced irregular nanostructures at neutral pH in CH3CN-H2O (1 : 1); whereas, well-defined nanotubes were observed at pH 2. Conversely, Fmoc-protected, NDI-BIM 2 formed nanotubes at neutral pH and nonspecific aggregates at pH 2. Upon coordination of Cu2+ ions to the bis(indoyl)methane moiety, a reorganization from nanotubes to vesicular structures was observed.

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
The translational therapies to promote interaction between cell and signal come with stringent eligibility criteria. The chemically defined, hierarchically organized, and simpler yet blessed with robust intermolecular association, the peptides, are privileged to make the cut-off for sensing the cell-signal for biologics delivery and tissue engineering. The signature service and insoluble network formation of the peptide self-assemblies as hydrogels have drawn a spell of research activity among the scientists all around the globe in the past decades. The therapeutic peptide market players are anticipating promising growth opportunities due to the ample technological advancements in this field. The presence of the other organic moieties, enzyme substrates and well-established protecting groups like Fmoc and Boc etc., bring the best of both worlds. Since the large sequences of peptides severely limit the purification and their isolation, this article reviews the account of last 5 years' efforts on novel approaches for formulation and development of single molecule amino acids, ultra-short peptide self-assemblies (di- and tri- peptides only) and their derivatives as drug/gene carriers and tissue-engineering systems.

Abstract
Camptothecin (CPT) and its analogues show potent antitumour activity. However, poor water solubility and severe side effects have restricted their applications in clinical practice. In this paper, a novel self-assembly based on camptothecin and carbamoylmannose conjugates (CPT-Man) was constructed. The self-assembly increased the water solubility of camptothecin to 0.64 mg/ml and antitumour activity. Moreover, CPT-Man could induce obvious cancer cell apoptosis. This work provides a new approach for exploring carbohydrate-modified antitumour properties by self-assembled CPT drugs.

Abstract
Self-assembled organic nanotubes made of single or multiple molecular components can be classified into soft-matter nanotubes (SMNTs) by contrast with hard-matter nanotubes, such as carbon and other inorganic nanotubes. To date, diverse self-assembly processes and elaborate template procedures using rationally designed organic molecules have produced suitable tubular architectures with definite dimensions, structural complexity, and hierarchy for expected functions and applications. Herein, we comprehensively discuss every functions and possible applications of a wide range of SMNTs as bulk materials or single components. This Review highlights valuable contributions mainly in the past decade. Fifteen different families of SMNTs are discussed from the viewpoints of chemical, physical, biological, and medical applications, as well as action fields (e.g., interior, wall, exterior, whole structure, and ensemble of nanotubes). Chemical applications of the SMNTs are associated with encapsulating materials and sensors. SMNTs also behave, while sometimes undergoing morphological transformation, as a catalyst, template, liquid crystal, hydro-/organogel, superhydrophobic surface, and micron size engine. Physical functions pertain to ferro-/piezoelectricity and energy migration/storage, leading to the applications to electrodes or supercapacitors, and mechanical reinforcement. Biological functions involve artificial chaperone, transmembrane transport, nanochannels, and channel reactors. Finally, medical functions range over drug delivery, nonviral gene transfer vector, and virus trap.

Abstract
A coumarin-tetrapeptide conjugate, EFEK(DAC)-NH2 (1), is reported to undergo a pH-dependent interconversion between nanotubes and nanoribbons. An examination of zeta potential measurements, circular dichroism (CD) spectra, and microscopy imaging (transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy) identified three different self-assembly regimes based on pH: (1) pH 2-5, positively charged, left-handed helical nanotubes; (2) pH 6-8, negatively charged, right-handed helical nanoribbons; and (3) pH ≥ 9.0, a monomeric/disassembled peptide. The nanotubes exhibited uniform diameters of 41 ± 5 nm and wall thicknesses of 4.8 ± 0.8 nm, whereas the nanoribbons existed as either flat or twisted sheets ranging in width from 11 to 60 nm with heights of 8 ± 1 nm. The UV-vis and CD spectra of the most common antiparallel, β-sheet conformation of 1-dimer were simulated at the B3LYP/def2svpd level of theory in implicit water. These studies indicated that the transition from nanotubes to nanoribbons was coupled to an M → P helical inversion of the coumarin packing orientation, respectively, within the nanostructures. The assembly process was driven by β-sheet aggregation and π-π interactions, leading to the formation of nanoribbons, which progressively wound into helical ribbons and laterally grew into smooth nanotubes as the pH decreased.

Abstract
Small molecular prodrugs that self-assemble into nanoparticles have many advantages over commonly studied nanomedicines based upon nanoscale carriers such as liposomes, micelles and polymeric nanoparticles. These carrier-free nanodrugs exhibit favorable nanoproperties without the help of a nanocarrier, and they have many unique merits, such as a simple synthetic procedure, well-defined structure and high drug loading capacity. To date, most of these carrier-free nanodrugs have been spherical and very few nonspherical nanodrugs have been synthesized and studied. Herein, we report a camptothecin (CPT) prodrug that self-assembles into nanofibers. These carrier-free CPT nanofibers have a width of approximately one hundred nanometers and a length of several micrometers. The cellular uptake and tumor penetration behaviour of these nanofibers were observed by time-lapse video microscopy. These nanofibers can rapidly enter cancer cells by penetrating the cell membrane, gradually dissolve intracellularly and efficiently release the active drug. Coating the surface of these nanofibers with a pH-responsive PEG layer improves the stability of these nanofibers and shields their positive charge to minimize nonspecific interactions. These pH-responsive nanofibers are sheddable in the acidic tumor microenvironment and deliver carried cargoes deep into tumors. Our findings demonstrate that small molecular CPT prodrugs that form nanofibers are efficient for cancer drug delivery.

Abstract
To achieve precise control of nano-carrier structure and drug release behavior, we designed a pH/redox dual-responsive polymeric prodrug by condensation polymerization using octahedrally coordinated cisplatin (Pt IV) and ortho ester monomer. The prodrug was then self-assembled with doxorubicin (DOX) in aqueous solution to give a synergetic drug delivery system. The polymer backbone can completely degrade and release cisplatin (Pt II) and DOX under the acidic and reductive environment of tumor cells, owing to the breakage of ortho ester bonds and the reduction of Pt (IV). The size and micromorphology of micelles were observed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In vitro study of drug release, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity revealed that the micelles could be triggered intracellularly to release two drugs. In vivo drug distribution and antitumor activity also provide the evidence for the excellent antitumor effect of micelles.

Abstract
The search for effective and non-invasive delivery modules to transport therapeutic molecules across skin has led to the discovery of a number of nanocarriers (viz.: liposomes, ethosomes, dendrimers, etc.) in the last few decades. However, available literature suggests that these delivery modules face several issues including poor stability, low encapsulation efficiency, and scale-up hurdles. Recently, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) emerged as a versatile tool to deliver therapeutics across skin. Superior stability, high loading capacity, well-developed synthesis protocol as well as ease of scale-up are some of the reason for growing interest in CNTs. CNTs have a unique physical architecture and a large surface area with unique surface chemistry that can be tailored for vivid biomedical applications. CNTs have been thus largely engaged in the development of transdermal systems such as tuneable hydrogels, programmable nonporous membranes, electroresponsive skin modalities, protein channel mimetic platforms, reverse iontophoresis, microneedles, and dermal buckypapers. In addition, CNTs were also employed in the development of RNA interference (RNAi) based therapeutics for correcting defective dermal genes. This review expounds the state-of-art synthesis methodologies, skin penetration mechanism, drug liberation profile, loading potential, characterization techniques, and transdermal applications along with a summary on patent/regulatory status and future scope of CNT based skin therapeutics.

Abstract
Due to multidrug resistance of cancer tissues and immune-suppression of cancerous patients during chemotherapy in one hand and the use of tetrazole derivatives in medicine because of its anticancer, antifungal, and antiviral properties, on the other, we were encouraged to design novel smart antibacterial nanocomposites-based polymer of tetrazole as dual anticancer drug delivery systems. The structures of nanocomposites characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, FESEM-EDX, and TGA analyzes and antibacterial activity of smart carriers were evaluated by determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against some bacteria and fungi. Then, the pH-responsive manner of both nanocomposites was proved by checking their release profiles at pH of the physiological environment (pH 7.4) and pH of tumor tissues (mildly acidic). Finally, the potential antitumoral activity of these nanocomposite systems against MCF7 cell lines was evaluated by MTT assay and cell cycle studies. The results demonstrated that the novel developed nanocomposites not only meet our expectations about simultaneous release of two anticancer drugs according to the predicted profile but also showed antibacterial and anticancer properties in vitro experimental. Moreover, it was proved that these carriers have tremendous potential in multifunctional drug delivery in cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With increasing concerns over global warming and depletion of fossil-fuel reserves, it is attractive to develop innovative strategies to assimilate CO2, a greenhouse gas, into usable organic carbon. Cell-free systems can be designed to operate as catalytic platforms with enzymes that offer exceptional selectivity and efficiency, without the need to support ancillary reactions of metabolic pathways operating in intact cells. Such systems are yet to be exploited for applications involving CO2 utilization and subsequent conversion to valuable products, including biofuels. The Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle and the enzyme ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) play a pivotal role in global CO2 fixation. RESULTS We hereby demonstrate the co-assembly of two RubisCO-associated multienzyme cascades with self-assembled synthetic amphiphilic peptide nanostructures. The immobilized enzyme cascades sequentially convert either ribose-5-phosphate (R-5-P) or glucose, a simpler substrate, to ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), the acceptor for incoming CO2 in the carboxylation reaction catalyzed by RubisCO. Protection from proteolytic degradation was observed in nanostructures associated with the small dimeric form of RubisCO and ancillary enzymes. Furthermore, nanostructures associated with a larger variant of RubisCO resulted in a significant enhancement of the enzyme's selectivity towards CO2, without adversely affecting the catalytic activity. CONCLUSIONS The ability to assemble a cascade of enzymes for CO2 capture using self-assembling nanostructure scaffolds with functional enhancements show promise for potentially engineering entire pathways (with RubisCO or other CO2-fixing enzymes) to redirect carbon from industrial effluents into useful bioproducts.

Abstract
The aim of our research is to identify potential genes associated with Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) through microarrays. The microarray dataset GS54665 were downloaded from the GEO(Gene Expression Omnibus) database. Dysregulated genes were screened and their associations with DCIS was analyzed by comprehensive bioinformatics tools. A total of 649 differential expression genes were identified between normal and DCIS samples, including 224 up-regulated genes and 425 down-regulated genes. Biological process annotation and pathway enrichment analysis identified several DCIS-related signaling pathways. Finally, PPI network was constructed with String website in order to get the hub codes involved in Ductal carcinoma in situ. We thus concluded that Five genes: CDK1, CCNB2, MAD2L1, PPARG, ACACB were finally identified to participate in the regulation and serve as potential diagnosis signatures in in Ductal carcinoma in situ. Finally, complmentarity between CDK1 and three drugs, Aminophenazone, Pomalidomide and the Rosoxacin, implies novel pharmacological value of those drugs in breast cancer.

Abstract
With the rise of graphene, there is growing attention on two-dimensional (2D) materials in the physical science community during the last decade. Most studies to date focus on the rich set of their superior electrical, optical, catalytic and electrochemical properties and highlight the encouraging opportunities for developing next generation electronics, optoelectronics, catalysis, and energy storage technologies. On the contrary, the biomedicine community has barely recognized the potential of these materials other than graphene. There are very limited published studies on these materials’ biological effects and biomedical applications. Here, we present a brief overview of 2D materials and discuss their potential for biomedical applications in hope of raising biomedical researchers’ awareness of the great opportunities associated with these materials. We first discuss the emergence of 2D materials and review two most important prerequisites for 2D materials’ biomedical applications, synthesis and biocompatibility. We then categorize the existing studies on 2D materials’ biomedical applications into biosensing, drug/gene delivery, antimicrobial, bioimaging and multimode therapeutic applications. We would put special emphasis on the great flexibility of various rational combinations of 2D material superior properties for the design and construction of assorted forms of reagents or devices with highly effective simultaneous diagnostic and therapeutic functions (or theranostics functions). At last, the newly emerging 2D black phosphorous with very rare and interesting properties is introduced as the next promising and important 2D materials to study in the upcoming years.

Abstract
Pegylation, as a simple procedure to attach hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) onto therapeutic molecule or drug carriers has been utilized widely to deliver small molecules, proteins and peptides. It was first reported in 1970s by Dr. Frank Davis of Rutgers University and Dr. Abuchowsky in the studies of PEG modified albumin and catalase. The significance of this method at that time was able to successfully modify the enzyme with better hydrophilicity but also keep the enzymatic activity. The employment of PEG has provided superior stability of drug delivery systems (DDS) and enhanced the circulation time in vivo. Simple conjugation of PEG chains with various molecular weights enables the possibility to regulate the properties of desired DDS and led to important contribution in targeting therapy and diagnosis. Pegylation has been reported to be able to protect peptides by shielding antigenic epitopes from reticuloendothelial (RES) clearance and avoid enzymes being recognized by immune system and avoid early degradation. In addition, utilization of PEG in DDS are reported with enhanced delivery efficiency, prolonged circulation time and improved stability, especially active enzymes and peptides drug delivery. In this paper, we will conclude current studies about Pegylated DDS and their biomedical applications from both in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) has been extensively used in the clinic to treat malignant tumors such as leukemias and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the severe cardiotoxicity associated with the use of DOX requests the development of alternative and efficient pharmaceutical formulations. The PEGylated liposome of DOX can significantly reduce the cardiotoxicity but still lacks the active targeting towards cancer cells. Modification of liposomal DOX with active ligands would then be a rational approach to enhance the transportation of the toxin into tumor cells. Currently used targeting ligands include antibodies, proteins, small molecules, and peptides. By virtue of the advantages such as easy preparation, lower cost, and elevated resistance to enzymatic degradation, peptides are attracting a significant amount of interest as active targeting ligands for pharmaceutics. In this paper, we will briefly discuss the application of peptide ligands for the improvement of the therapeutic efficacy of liposomal DOX.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been widely studied and applied for over three decades. However, reliable SERS detection of molecules with low polarizability is still suffering from poor sensitivity and reproducibility. In this paper, we have reported a new strategy for performing quantitative SERS detection of Raman insensitive Glutathione (GSH), based on GSH-induced replacement of a highly Raman sensitive four-mercaptopyridine (MP) adsorbed on the surface of four-aminothiophenol (ATP) embedded Au-core/Ag-shell particles. This replacement led to a strong decrease of the MP SERS signal, which was used to determine the concentration of GSH. The adoption of GSH-induced Raman probe replacement leads to high sensitivity, while the use of internal reference method provides an improved accuracy of the GSH quantification.
