Abstract
Platinum-based anticancer drugs play a crucial role in the clinical treatment of various cancers. However, the application of platinum-based drugs is heavily restricted by their severe toxicity and drug resistance/cross resistance. Various drug delivery systems have been developed to overcome these limitations of platinum-based chemotherapy. Stimuli-responsive nanocarrier drug delivery systems as one of the most promising strategies attract more attention. And huge progress in stimuli-responsive nanocarrier delivery systems of platinum-based drugs has been made. In these systems, a variety of triggers including endogenous and extracorporeal stimuli have been employed. Endogenous stimuli mainly include pH-, thermo-, enzyme- and redox-responsive nanocarriers. Extracorporeal stimuli include light-, magnetic field- and ultrasound responsive nanocarriers. In this review, we present the recent advances in stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems with different nanocarriers for improving the efficacy and reducing the side effects of platinum-based anticancer drugs.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:nano13101619. [PMID: 37242036 DOI: 10.3390/nano13101619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Current therapies for treating Glioblastoma (GB), and brain tumours in general, are inefficient and represent numerous challenges. In addition to surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are presently used as standards of care. However, treated patients still face a dismal prognosis with a median survival below 15-18 months. Temozolomide (TMZ) is the main chemotherapeutic agent administered; however, intrinsic or acquired resistance to TMZ contributes to the limited efficacy of this drug. To circumvent the current drawbacks in GB treatment, a large number of classical and non-classical platinum complexes have been prepared and tested for anticancer activity, especially platinum (IV)-based prodrugs. Platinum complexes, used as alkylating agents in the anticancer chemotherapy of some malignancies, are though often associated with severe systemic toxicity (i.e., neurotoxicity), especially after long-term treatments. The objective of the current developments is to produce novel nanoformulations with improved lipophilicity and passive diffusion, promoting intracellular accumulation, while reducing toxicity and optimizing the concomitant treatment of chemo-/radiotherapy. Moreover, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents the access of the drugs to the brain and accumulation in tumour cells, so it represents a key challenge for GB management. The development of novel nanomedicines with the ability to (i) encapsulate Pt-based drugs and pro-drugs, (ii) cross the BBB, and (iii) specifically target cancer cells represents a promising approach to increase the therapeutic effect of the anticancer drugs and reduce undesired side effects. In this review, a critical discussion is presented concerning different families of nanoparticles able to encapsulate platinum anticancer drugs and their application for GB treatment, emphasizing their potential for increasing the effectiveness of platinum-based drugs.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the foremost cause of gynecological cancer and a major cause of cancer death in women. Treatment for advanced stage is surgical debulking followed by chemotherapy; however, most patients relapse with more aggressive and therapy-resistant tumors. There is a need to develop drug delivery approaches to deliver platinum therapies to tumors to increase efficacy while maintaining safety. Toward this goal, we utilized the protein nanotubes from the plant virus, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), as a drug carrier. Specifically, the nanochannel of TMV was loaded with the active dication form of cisplatin (cisPt2+), making use of the negatively charged Glu acid side chains that line the interior channel of TMV. We achieved a loading efficiency with ∼2700 cisPt2+ per TMV; formulation stability was established with drug complexes stably loaded into the carrier for 2 months under refrigerated storage. TMV-cisPt maintained its efficacy against ovarian tumor cells with an IC50 of ∼40 μM. TMV-cisPt exhibited superior efficacy vs free cisPt in ovarian tumor mouse models using intraperitoneal ID8-Defb29/Vegf-a-Luc (mouse) tumors and subcutaneous A2780 (human) xenografts. TMV-cisPt treatment led to reduced tumor burden and increased survival. Using ID8-Defb29/Vegf-a-Luc-bearing C57BL/6 mice, we also noted reduced tumor growth when animals were treated with TMV alone, which may indicate antitumor immunity induced by the immunomodulatory nature of the plant virus nanoparticle. Biodistribution studies supported the efficacy data, showing increased cisPt accumulation within tumors when delivered via the TMV carrier vs free cisPt administration. Finally, good safety profiles were noted. The study highlights the potential of TMV as a drug carrier against cancer and points to the opportunity to explore plant viruses as chemo-immuno combination cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Local drug delivery facilitiates higher concentrations of drug molecules at or near the treatment site to enhance treatment efficiency and reduce drug toxicity and other systemic side effects. However, local drug delivery systems face challenges in terms of encapsulation, delivery, and controlled release of therapeutics. AREAS COVERED We provide an overview of naturally derived biopolymer-based drug delivery systems for localized, sustained, and on-demand treatment. We introduce the advantages and limitations of these systems for drug encapsulation, delivery, and local release, as well as recent applications. EXPERT OPINION Naturally derived biopolymers like cellulose, silk fibroin, chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid, and gelatin are good candidates for localized drug delivery because they are readily chemically modified, biocompatible, biodegradable (with the generation of metabolically compatible degradation products), and can be processed in aqueous and ambient environments to maintain the bioactivity of various therapeutics. The tradeoff between the effective treatment dosage and the response by local healthy tissue should be balanced during the design of these delivery systems. Future directions will be focused on strategies to design tunable and controlled biodegradation rates, as well as to explore commercial utility in substituting biopolymer-based systems for currently utilized synthetic polymers for implants for drug delivery.

Abstract
The application of Oxaliplatin (OxPt) in different malignancies is reported to be accompanied by several side effects including neuropathy, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, low blood counts, loss of appetite, etc. The passive or active targeting of different tumors can improve OxPt delivery. Considering the demand for novel systems meant to improve the OxPt efficacy and define the shortcomings, we provided an overview of different approaches regarding the delivery of OxPt. There is an extending body of data that exhibits the value of Liposomes and polymer-based drug delivery systems as the most successful systems among the OxPt drug delivery procedures. Several clinical trials have been carried out to investigate the side effects and dose-limiting toxicity of liposomal oxaliplatin such as the assessment on Safety Study of MBP-426 (Liposomal Oxaliplatin Suspension for Injection) to Treat Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors. In addition, several studies indicated the biocompatibility and biodegradability of this product, as well as its option for being fictionalized to derive specialized smart nanosystems for the treatment of cancer. The better delivery of OxPt with weaker side effects could be generated by the exertion of Oxaliplatin, which involves the aggregation of new particles and multifaceted nanocarriers to compose a nanocomposite with both inorganic and organic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Gliomas are the most common and malignant primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). Glioblastomas are the most malignant and aggressive form of primary brain tumors and account for the majority of brain tumor-related deaths. The current standard treatment for gliomas is surgical resection supplemented by postoperative chemotherapy. Platinum drugs are a class of chemotherapeutic drugs that affect the cell cycle, and the main site of action is the DNA of cells, which are common chemotherapeutic drugs in clinical practice. Chemotherapy with platinum drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin, or a combination thereof is used to treat a variety of tumors. However, the results of gliomas chemotherapy are unsatisfactory, and resistance to platinum drugs is one of the important reasons. The resistance of gliomas to platinum drugs is the result of a combination of influencing factors. Decreased intracellular drug concentration, enhanced function of cell processing active products, enhanced repair ability of cellular DNA damage, and blockage of related apoptosis pathways play an important role in it. It is known that the pathogenic properties of glioma cells and the response of glioma towards platinum-based drugs are strongly influenced by non-coding RNAs, particularly, by microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). miRNAs and lncRNAs control drug sensitivity and the development of tumor resistance towards platinum drugs. This mini-review summarizes the resistance mechanisms of gliomas to platinum drugs, as well as molecules and therapies that can improve the sensitivity of gliomas to platinum drugs.

Abstract
The molecular weight (Mw) of dextran derivatives, such as regioselectively oxidized dicarboxydextran (DXA), is greatly influencing their faith in an organism, which could be possibly used to improve anticancer drug delivery. Here we present a modified method of sulfonation-induced chain scission allowing direct and accurate control over the Mw of DXA without increasing its polydispersity. Prepared DXA derivatives (Mw = 10-185 kDa) have been conjugated to cisplatin and the Mw of the carrier found to have a significant impact on cisplatin release rates, in vitro cytotoxicity, and migrastatic potential. Conjugates with the high-Mw DXA showed particularly increased anticancer efficacy. The best conjugate was four times more effective against malignant prostatic cell lines than free cisplatin and significantly inhibited the ovarian cancer cell migration. This was traced to the characteristics of spontaneously formed cisplatin-crosslinked DXA nanogels influenced by Mw of DXA and amount of loaded cisplatin.

Abstract
The three main FDA-approved platinum drugs in chemotherapy such as carboplatin, cisplatin, and oxaliplatin are extensively applied in cancer treatments. Although the clinical applications of platinum-based drugs are extremely effective, their toxicity profile restricts their extensive application. Therefore, recent studies focus on developing new platinum drug formulations, expanding the therapeutic aspect. In this sense, recent advances in the development of novel drug delivery carriers will help with the increase of drug stability and biodisponibility, concomitantly with the reduction of drug efflux and undesirable secondary toxic effects of platinum compounds. The present review describes the state of the art of platinum drugs with their biological effects, pre- and clinical studies, and novel drug delivery nanodevices based on lipids, polymers, and inorganic.

Abstract
The DACHPtCl2 compound (trans-(R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexanedichloroplatinum(II)) is a potent anticancer drug with a broad spectrum of activity and is less toxic than oxaliplatin (trans-l-diaminocyclohexane oxalate platinum II), with which it shares the active metal fragment DACHPt. Nevertheless, due to poor water solubility, its use as a chemotherapeutic drug is limited. Here, DACHPtCl2 was conjugated, in a bidentate form, with half-generation PAMAM dendrimers (G0.5–G3.5) with carboxylate end-groups, and the resulting conjugates were evaluated against various types of cancer cell lines. In this way, we aimed at increasing the solubility and availability at the target site of DACHPt while potentially reducing the adverse side effects. DNA binding assays showed a hyperchromic effect compatible with DNA helix’s disruption upon the interaction of the metallodendrimers and/or the released active metallic fragments with DNA. Furthermore, the prepared DACHPt metallodendrimers presented cytotoxicity in a wide set of cancer cell lines used (the relative potency regarding oxaliplatin was in general high) and were not hemotoxic. Importantly, their selectivity for A2780 and CACO-2 cancer cells with respect to non-cancer cells was particularly high. Subsequently, the anticancer drug 5-FU was loaded in a selected metallodendrimer (the G2.5COO(DACHPt)16) to investigate a possible synergistic effect between the two drugs carried by the same dendrimer scaffold and tested for cytotoxicity in A2780cisR and CACO-2 cancer cell lines. This combination resulted in IC50 values much lower than the IC50 for 5-FU but higher than those found for the metallodendrimers without 5-FU. It seems, thus, that the metallic fragment-induced cytotoxicity dominates over the cytotoxicity of 5-FU in the set of considered cell lines.

Subsequently, the anticancer drug 5-FU was loaded in a selected metallodendrimer (the G2.5COO(DACHPt)16) to investigate a possible synergistic effect between the two drugs carried by the same dendrimer scaffold and tested for cytotoxicity in A2780cisR and CACO-2 cancer cell lines. This combination resulted in IC50 values much lower than the IC50 for 5-FU but higher than those found for the metallodendrimers without 5-FU. It seems, thus, that the metallic fragment-induced cytotoxicity dominates over the cytotoxicity of 5-FU in the set of considered cell lines.

Abstract
Although there are many patients with brain tumors worldwide, there are numerous difficulties in overcoming brain tumors. Among brain tumors, glioblastoma, with a 5-year survival rate of 5.1%, is the most malignant. In addition to surgical operations, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are generally performed, but the patients have very limited options. Temozolomide is the most commonly prescribed drug for patients with glioblastoma. However, it is difficult to completely remove the tumor with this drug alone. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the potential of anticancer drugs, other than temozolomide, against glioblastomas. Since the discovery of cisplatin, platinum-based drugs have become one of the leading chemotherapeutic drugs. Although many studies have reported the efficacy of platinum-based anticancer drugs against various carcinomas, studies on their effectiveness against brain tumors are insufficient. In this review, we elucidated the anticancer effects and advantages of platinum-based drugs used in brain tumors. In addition, the cases and limitations of the clinical application of platinum-based drugs are summarized. As a solution to overcome these obstacles, we emphasized the potential of a novel approach to increase the effectiveness of platinum-based drugs.

Abstract
Five new coordination polymers (CPs) constructed of aminopyridine-2-carboxylate (ampy) ligand have been synthesized and fully characterized. Three of them correspond to metal-organic chains built from the coordination of ampy to sodium and lanthanides with formulae [MNa(ampy)4]n (M = terbium (2), erbium (1) and ytterbium (3)) resembling a previously reported dysprosium material which shows anticancer activity. On another level, the reaction of Hampy with cobalt and copper ions ({[CoK(ampy)3(H2O)3](H2O)3}n (4) and [Cu(ampy)2]n (5)) lead to CPs with variable dimensionalities, which gives the opportunity of analyzing the structural properties of this new family. Lanthanide materials display solid state intense photoluminescent emissions in both the visible and near-infrared region and exhibit slow relaxation of magnetization with frequency dependence of the out-of-phase susceptibility. More interestingly, in our search for multifunctional materials, we have carried out antitumor measurements of these compounds. These multidisciplinary studies of metal complexes open up the possibility for further exploring the applications in the fields of metal-based drugs.

Int J Nanomedicine 2020; 15:981-990. [PMID: 32103951 PMCID: PMC7024790 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s235618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2019] [Accepted: 01/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose A new theranostic nanomedicine involving anticancer-active cisplatin moiety was designed to study its tumor-targeting properties as well as its drug efficacy and toxicity. Methods A cisplatin carrier polymer was prepared by grafting equimolar polyethylene glycol of a molecular weight of 550 (PEG550) and aminoethanol to the poly(dichlorophosphazene) backbone. Cisplatin was conjugated to the carrier polymer using cis-aconitic acid as a linker. Results The cisplatin-loaded polyphosphazene, named "Polycisplatin" was found to be amphiphilic in aqueous solution and self-assembled into nanoparticles with an average particle size of 18.6 nm in diameter. The time-dependent organ distribution study of Cy5.5-labeled Polycisplatin in the A549-tumor-bearing mice exhibited a high tumor selectivity of Polycisplatin by EPR effect despite the relatively small particle size. In order to compare the in vivo efficacy of Polycisplatin and cisplatin, their xenograft trials were performed using nude mice against the human gastric cell line MKN-28. Polycisplatin exhibited slightly less tumor suppression effect compared with cisplatin at the same dose of 1.95 mg Pt/kg, which is the maximum tolerate dose of cisplatin, but at the higher double dose of 3.9 mg Pt/kg, Polycisplatin exhibited a little better efficacy than cisplatin. Furthermore, mice treated with cisplatin at the dose of 1.95 mg Pt/kg exhibited severe body weight decrease by about 25%, while mice treated with Polycisplatin did not show serious body weight decrease even at its double dose of 3.9 mg Pt/kg. Furthermore, kidney indicators including kidney index, BUN, and creatinine values measured displayed that Polycisplatin is much less nephrotoxic than cisplatin. Conclusion Nanoparticular Polycisplatin was successfully prepared by conjugating cisplatin to a hydrophilic polyphosphazene carrier polymer using the acid-cleavable cis-aconitic acid. Polycisplatin nanoparticles exhibit excellent tumor-targeting properties by EPR effect. The xenograft trials exhibited excellent antitumor efficacy and reduced systemic toxicity of Polycisplatin.

Abstract
In this work, the new polysaccharide-platinum conjugates of 5-aminosalicylic acid modified lycium barbarum polysaccharide linking platinum compounds were designed in order to construct an anticancer metal drug delivery system. The multiple analysis methods were used to describe the chemical structure and physical properties of the polysaccharide-metal conjugates. The results showed that 5-aminosalicylic acid successfully acted as linker which was covalently bound between polysaccharide and platinum compound. The morphology and rheological properties of polysaccharide have been changed by the formation of conjugates, which exhibited certain inhibition specificity to A549 (human lung cancer cell line). The agarose gel electrophoresis and fluorescence microscopy results demonstrated that such conjugates promoted the unwinding of DNA and could significantly damage the nucleus of A549 cells. Cell cycle analyzing the Pt complex of conjugates could cause intracellular DNA damage and induced G2 phase arrest. So, polysaccharide-platinum conjugates might find a range of applications, for example in metal anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Among the methods used for the treatment of cancer, chemotherapy is widely used, and it is by far one of the most unpleasant procedures given to a patient because of its severe side effects; while being necessary. One of the major problems in cancer chemotherapy is the limited selectivity of most of the drugs in current clinical use. Following administration, the active agent is distributed over the entire body and reaches not only the target cells or tissues but also interacts with healthy cells. In an attempt to overcome the side effects of anticancer drugs, the modification of the anticancer bioactive compounds has been a topic of active research for years. Numerous delivery systems such as drugcontaining liposomes, microencapsulation, nanoparticles, and water-soluble polymers have been used for the delivery of bioactive compounds to the site of action. Water-soluble polymeric conjugates and co-conjugates have remained the most outstanding delivery technique. This review will discuss the development of polymeric conjugates and co-conjugates of ferrocene in cancer research.

Theranostics 2019; 9:6568-6586.

Abstract
Targeted therapy via the patient-friendly oral route remains the holy grail of chemotherapy for cancer. Herein we report a yeast-derived platform for targeted oral delivery of cisplatin (CDDP) that is one of the most effective drugs for chemotherapy of various types of cancers. Methods: The optimal conditions were first established to fabricate yeast microcapsules (YCs) with desirable loading capability. Then, CDDP-derived precursor nanoparticles (PreCDDP) were prepared and packaged into YC to produce orally deliverable PreCDDP/YC. The physiochemical properties, in vitro drug release profiles, in vitro antitumor activity, oral targeting capability, in vivo pharmacokinetics, and in vivo efficacy of the YC-based biomimetic delivery system were examined. Results: YCs obtained under the optimized condition showed desirable loading efficiency for quantum dots that were used as a model nanocargo. In vitro experiments demonstrated rapid endocytosis and prolonged retention of YC in macrophages. By electrostatic force-mediated self-deposition, PreCDDP was efficiently loaded into YC. PreCDDP/YC showed potent cytotoxicity in different tumor cells, indicating that PreCDDP loaded in YC maintained its antitumor activity after intracellular release. As compared to CDDP and PreCDDP, orally administered PreCDDP/YC displayed significantly higher bioavailability. Post oral delivery, YC could accumulate in A549 human lung carcinoma xenografts in mice, achieving by monocyte/macrophage-mediated translocation via the lymphatic system. Through this targeting effect, orally administered PreCDDP/YC showed desirable efficacy in A549 xenograft-bearing mice, which was comparable to that of free CDDP administered by intravenous injection. Orally administered free CDDP, however, did not afford antitumor effects. Furthermore, oral treatment with PreCDDP/YC displayed better safety than free CDDP administered via the oral or intravenous route. Conclusions: This biomimetic approach can serve as an effective strategy to develop targeted oral chemotherapies based on CDDP or its derivatives.

Abstract
Physiological characteristics of human malignancies are increased glycolysis and overexpression of glucose transporters (GLUTs). 18Flurodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has successfully developed as clinical modality for the diagnosis and staging of many cancers based on the Warburg effect. To leverage this glucose transporter mediated metabolic disparity between normal and malignant cells, in the current report, protected, and de-protected glucose, mannose, galactose, rhamnose, maltose, and lactose-conjugated platinum(IV) complexes were designed and synthesized. The suggested potential of facilitated intravenous to oral switching of glycosylated platinum(IV) prodrugs with cancer-targeting properties were evaluated for glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2)-mediated selective properties in vitro and in vivo. The cytotoxicity of 2d, 5d, and 6d were ~23-fold greater than that of the positive controls cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and satraplatin, respectively. The leading compound 6d, the IC50 of which with the GLUT1 inhibitor 4,6-oethylidene-α-D-glucose (EDG) and phloretin (31.80 and 38.71 μM) are 36- and 44-folds higher, respectively, than the 48 h IC50 (0.89 μM), is superior to the reported 5-8, exhibiting enhanced cancer targeting. The compounds also showed reduced toxicity to normal cells (293T IC50 = 12.06 μM and 3T3 cells IC50 > 100 μM) and exhibited no cross-resistance to cisplatin. Moreover, the encouraging selectivity of 6d for MCF-7 cells in vivo indicated that the pyranoside performs an important function in cancer targeting.

Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles based on cyclodextrins are currently undergoing clinical trials as new promising nanotherapeutics. In light of this interest, we investigated cyclodextrin cross-linked polymers with different lengths as carriers for the poorly water-soluble drug sorafenib. Both polymers significantly enhanced sorafenib solubility, with shorter polymers showing the most effective solubilizing effect. Inclusion complexes between sorafenib and the investigated polymers exhibited an antiproliferative effect in tumor cells similar to that of free sorafenib. Polymer/Sorafenib complexes also showed lower in vivo tissue toxicity than with free sorafenib in all organs. Our results suggest that the inclusion of sorafenib in polymers represents a successful strategy for a new formulation of this drug.

Abstract
Purpose Cisplatin plus gemcitabine (GEM) is a standard regimen for the first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The aim of this study was to prepare biocompatible and biodegradable polymeric prodrugs and construct nanoparticles (NPs) with layer-by-layer (LbL) technique. Methods Platinum (Pt) (IV) complex with a carboxyl group was conjugated to the amino group of chitosan (CH), resulting in a CH-Pt conjugation with positive charge. GEM with amino group was conjugated to the carboxyl group of hyaluronic acid (HA), resulting in a HA-GEM conjugation with negative charge. Novel LbL NPs consisting of the CH-Pt core and the HA-GEM layer, named as HA-GEM/CH-Pt NPs, were constructed. The physicochemical properties of the HA-GEM/CH-Pt NPs were investigated. In vitro cytotoxicity against human non-small lung cancer cells (NCl-H460 cells) was investigated, and in vivo antitumor efficiency was evaluated on mice bearing NCl-H460 cells xenografts. Results HA-GEM/CH-Pt NPs have a size of about 187 nm, a zeta potential value of −21 mV and high drug encapsulation efficiency of 90%. The drug release of HA-GEM/CH-Pt NPs exhibited a sustained behavior. HA-GEM/CH-Pt NPs could significantly enhance in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo antitumor effect against lung cancer animal model compared to the single-drug-loaded NPs and free drug solutions. Conclusion The results demonstrated that the HA-GEM/CH-Pt NPs might be a promising system for the synergetic treatment of lung carcinoma.

Abstract
Glycosylated platinum(IV) complexes were synthesized as substrates for GLUTs and OCTs for the first time, and the cytotoxicity and detailed mechanism were determined in vitro and in vivo. Galactoside Pt(IV), glucoside Pt(IV), and mannoside Pt(IV) were highly cytotoxic and showed specific cancer-targeting properties in vitro and in vivo. Glycosylated platinum(IV) complexes 5, 6, 7, and 8 (IC50 0.24-3.97 μM) had better antitumor activity of nearly 166-fold higher than the positive controls cisplatin (1a), oxaliplatin (3a), and satraplatin (5a). The presence of a hexadecanoic chain allowed binding with human serum albumin (HSA) for drug delivery, which not only enhanced the stability of the inert platinum(IV) prodrugs but also decreased their reduction by reductants present in human whole blood. Their preferential accumulation in cancer cells compared to noncancerous cells (293T and 3T3 cells) suggested that they were potentially safe for clinical therapeutic use.

Abstract
A serious of carbohydrate-conjugated platinum(IV) complexes in the form Pt(L2)(A2)(OH)R based on the clinical drug cisplatin and oxaliplatin were designed, synthesized and evaluated as antitumor agents in vitro and in vivo. The conjugates possessing both pH and redox dual-responsive properties exhibited more potent cytotoxicity in seven different human cancer cell lines and lower toxicity to the normal 3T3 cells than cisplatin, oxaliplatin and even the reported bis-functionalized glycosylated platinum(IV) complexes indicating the enhanced safety of the sugar conjugates. Cellular drug uptake and DNA platination were also superior to cisplatin, oxaliplatin and the reported bis-functionalized ones. Peak current of B7 and B8 with the scan rate of 200mv/s at the concentration of 0.08 mM was 5-fold higher at pH 6.4 than the pH 7.4, indicating that carbohydrate-conjugated mono-functionalized platinum(IV) complexes possessed both pH and redox dual-responsive properties in the cancer cells. The in vivo assays demonstrated that the Pt(IV) compounds could inhibit the growth of MCF-7 tumour and exert more safety than oxaliplatin.

Abstract
An intermolecular energy transfer system is developed for studying the stability of nanoaggregate(s) (NAs) in complex solution and cell culture by one- and two-photon fluorescence microscopy and optical imaging. The system allows facile addition of one or more tumor targeting molecules, one of which is exemplified here. NAs functionalized with an MRI and optical probe, with and without folic acid, remain stable in fetal bovine serum for at least 4 hours. HeLa cell cultures showed a clear difference between NAs non-targeted and targeted to folate receptors, with both NAs appearing to be taken up by the cells through different mechanisms. An MRI relaxivity, r1, of 9 mM-1 s-1 at 310 K and 1.4 T was measured associated with the increased rotational correlation time of the NAs. These NAs may have application in the targeted drug delivery of hydrophobic drugs such as doxorubicin (DOX).

Abstract
Platinum drugs as anti-cancer therapeutics are held in extremely high regard. Despite their success, there are drawbacks associated with their use; their dose-limiting toxicity, their limited activity against an array of common cancers and patient resistance to Pt-based therapeutic regimes. Current investigations in medicinal inorganic chemistry strive to offset these shortcomings through selective targeting of Pt drugs and/or the development of Pt drugs with new or multiple modes of action. A comprehensive overview showcasing how liposomes, nanocapsules, polymers, dendrimers, nanoparticles and nanotubes may be employed as vehicles to selectively deliver cytotoxic Pt payloads to tumour cells is provided.

Abstract
The anticancer drug cis-platin (CP) is in worldwide clinical use to treat a variety of cancers, but is inherently associated with severe toxic side effects. Previous animal studies revealed that its neurotoxicity can be significantly reduced by the coadministration of l-glutathione (GSH) without affecting the anticancer effect. The underlying molecular mechanism, however, has remained elusive. Since the bloodstream is a likely biological compartment where CP-derived hydrolysis products may react with GSH, we have employed a recently developed metallomics tool to gain insight into the interaction of CP and GSH in rabbit plasma in vitro. After the addition of increasing GSH/CP molar ratios to plasma (25:1, 50:1, and 100:1), the determination of the Pt distribution 5 min and 2 h later revealed the formation of a Pt–GSH complex that did not bind to plasma proteins. The simultaneously obtained Zn distribution in plasma revealed a progressively more pronounced perturbation of the Zn metalloproteome with increasing GSH/CP molar ratios at the 5 min time point, which partially reversed at the 2 h time point. The formation of Pt–GSH species in plasma is therefore likely to be directly involved in the process by which GSH protects mammalian organisms from CP-induced neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and possibly other organ-based toxicities.

Abstract
The platinum drugs, cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, prevail in the treatment of cancer, but new platinum agents have been very slow to enter the clinic. Recently, however, there has been a surge of activity, based on a great deal of mechanistic information, aimed at developing nonclassical platinum complexes that operate via mechanisms of action distinct from those of the approved drugs. The use of nanodelivery devices has also grown, and many different strategies have been explored to incorporate platinum warheads into nanomedicine constructs. In this Review, we discuss these efforts to create the next generation of platinum anticancer drugs. The introduction provides the reader with a brief overview of the use, development, and mechanism of action of the approved platinum drugs to provide the context in which more recent research has flourished. We then describe approaches that explore nonclassical platinum(II) complexes with trans geometry or with a monofunctional coordination mode, polynuclear platinum(II) compounds, platinum(IV) prodrugs, dual-threat agents, and photoactivatable platinum(IV) complexes. Nanoparticles designed to deliver platinum(IV) complexes will also be discussed, including carbon nanotubes, carbon nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, quantum dots, upconversion nanoparticles, and polymeric micelles. Additional nanoformulations, including supramolecular self-assembled structures, proteins, peptides, metal-organic frameworks, and coordination polymers, will then be described. Finally, the significant clinical progress made by nanoparticle formulations of platinum(II) agents will be reviewed. We anticipate that such a synthesis of disparate research efforts will not only help to generate new drug development ideas and strategies, but also will reflect our optimism that the next generation of approved platinum cancer drugs is about to arrive.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is widely used anticancer drug for various solid tumors including lung cancer. However, its indiscriminate distribution causes serious adverse effects and limits its therapeutic effect. In this study, by using hyaluronic acid (HA) we synthesized a complex of CDDP (HA-CDDP), by utilizing ionic interaction between Pt(2+) of CDDP with carboxyl group of HA. The mean HA-CDDP particle size was 208.5nm in PBS according to dynamic light scattering which was also confirmed by TEM, which could exert tumor-targeting property by enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. The CDDP loading in this preparation was 13% (w/w), and release rate of free CDDP from the HA-CDDP complex at physiological pH (7.4) was ∼20%/day. However, in acidic pH the release was much faster, i.e., ∼95% of CDDP was released in 72h at pH 5.5. Moreover, HA-CDDP showed a 2.5-fold higher tumor accumulation than free CDDP whereas no increase of distribution was found in most normal tissues. In addition, because HA receptor CD44 is overexpressed in many tumor cells, we also observed CD44-based endocytosis of HA-CDDP in mouse lung carcinoma LCC cells. These findings together suggest that HA-CDDP may show tumor-selective cytotoxicity by taking advantage of EPR effect, weak acidic environment of tumor tissues (e.g., pH 6∼7), as well as CD44-based intracellular uptake. As expected, HA-CDDP exhibited much improved therapeutic effect than free CDDP in mouse LCC tumor model, whereas no apparent side effect was found. These findings may shed some light on the potential utility of HA for development of tumor-targeted polymeric CDDP drugs, which need further investigations.

Abstract
Fibrin gels are attractive biomaterials for local delivery of a variety of agents, from drugs to proteins. Similarly, polymer-anticancer-drug conjugates and nanoparticles are emerging as potential candidates for cancer treatment. Combining these different approaches, we have studied the efficacy of fibrin gels loaded with cisplatin (DDP) and a complex of DDP with hyaluronate (DDP-HA) for tumor growth inhibition in a melanoma model. Loaded gels prepared at relatively high fibrinogen concentration (22 mg/ml) showed good in vitro antiproliferative activities, prolonged release of the anticancer drug, and a long persistence (10-15 days) in vivo when implanted subcutaneously (sc) in immunodeficient mice. Gels loaded with DDP or DDP-HA containing 1/3 or even 1/6 of their systemic dose (6 mg/kg) and positioned under the tumor mass in mice bearing a sc human SK-Mel-28 tumor showed an antitumor activity better than that of the original parent compound given intraperitoneally (ip). Moreover, in an additional experiment in vivo, fibrin gels loaded with N-trimethyl chitosan-based nanoparticles containing a DDP-HA complex were assayed, resulting in a further 8 % improvement of anticancer activity, with lesser adverse systemic toxic effects. Taken together, these results suggest that the combination of fibrin gels and drugs complexed with suitable macromolecules holds great promise for loco-regional anticancer therapy of melanoma and other surgically removable cancer types.

Abstract
Platinum anticancer drugs are particularly in need of controlled drug delivery because of their severe side effects. Platinum(IV) agents are designed as prodrugs to reduce the side effects of platinum(II) drugs; however, premature reduction could limit the effect as a prodrug. In this work, a highly biocompatible, pH and redox dual-responsive delivery system is prepared by using hybrid nanoparticles of human serum albumin (HSA) and calcium phosphate (CaP) for the Pt(IV) prodrug of cisplatin. This conjugate is very stable under extracellular conditions, so that it protects the platinum(IV) prodrug in HSA. Upon reaching the acidic and hypoxic environment, the platinum drug is released in its active form and is able to bind to the target DNA. The Pt-HSA/CaP hybrid inhibits the proliferation of various cancer cells more efficiently than cisplatin. Different cell cycle arrests suggest different cellular responses of the Pt(IV) prodrug in the CaP nanocarrier. Interestingly, this delivery system demonstrates enhanced cytotoxicity to tumor cells, but not to normal cells.

Abstract
The standard of care for cancer patients includes surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy with cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs usually part of the treatment. However, these drugs are commonly associated with cardiotoxicity, ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, peripheral neuropathy, and myelosuppression. Strategies to deliver cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs while reducing secondary toxicity and increasing tumor dosing would therefore be desirable. This goal can be achieved through the use of controlled release drug carrier systems. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of clinically used drug carrier systems and recently developed approaches for drug-biomaterial conjugation.

Abstract
While cisplatin (CP) is still one of the world's bestselling anticancer drugs, its intravenous administration is inherently associated with severe, dose limiting toxic side-effects. Although the molecular basis of the latter are not well understood, biochemical transformations of CP in blood and the interaction of the generated platinum species with plasma proteins likely play a critical role since these processes will ultimately determine which platinum-species reach the intended tumor cells as well as non-target cells. Compared to healthy subjects, cancer patients often have decreased plasma human serum albumin (HSA) concentrations. Little, however, is known about how the plasma HSA concentration will affect the metabolism of CP. To gain insight, we obtained blood plasma from healthy adults (n = 20, 42 ± 4 g HSA per L) and pediatric cancer patients (n = 11, 26 ± 7 g HSA per L). After the incubation of plasma at 37 °C, a pharmacologically relevant dose of CP was added and the Pt-distribution therein was determined by size-exclusion chromatography coupled on-line to an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer. At the 2 h time point, a 5.9% increase of toxic CP-derived hydrolysis products was detected in pediatric cancer patient plasma, while 9.8% less platinum was protein bound compared to plasma from healthy controls. These in vitro results suggest that the elevated concentration of highly reactive free CP-derived hydrolysis products in plasma may cause the toxic side-effects in cancer patients. More importantly, the deliberate increase of the plasma HSA concentration in cancer patients prior to CP treatment would represent a simple strategy to possibly alleviate the fraction of patients that suffer from drug induced toxic side-effects.

Abstract
Cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin, CDDP) is one of the most potent chemotherapy agents, but its side effects toward normal tissues, particularly toxicity in the kidney and nonspecific biodistribution, limit its ability to have significant clinical activity against a variety of solid tumors. A magnetic CDDP-encapsulated nanocapsule (CDDP-PAA-NC) with CDDP-polyacrylic acid (PAA) core in amphiphilic polyvinyl alcohol/superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles shell is synthesized through a double emulsion to provide both high loading efficiency and controlled drug release. The CDDP-PAA-NCs significantly increase the blood circulation time of CDDP in vivo, with nearly 100-fold higher concentration, and drastically reduce side effects, including nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, compared with the delivery of free CDDP. Furthermore, with a magnetic targeting effect, the CDDP-PAA-NCs show ninefold higher level accumulation in tumor tissue than the free CDDP treatment when administered at the equivalent dose, and mice treated with the CDDP-PAA-NCs display approximately 3.5-fold lower tumor volume than those of the control group on day 24. This result demonstrates that the magnetic CDDP-PAA-NCs, which are synthesized using a facile emulsion process, can significantly reduce toxicity and exhibit anticancer activity in A549-tumor bearing mice with negligible side effects.
