Abstract
Synthetic melanin is a mimic of natural melanin analogue with intriguing properties such as metal-ion chelation, redox activity, adhesion, and broadband absorption. Melanin-inspired composite materials are formulated by assembly of melanin with other types of inorganic and organic components to target, combine, and build up the functionality, far beyond their natural capabilities. Developing efficient and universal methodologies to prepare melanin-based composite materials with unique functionality is vital for their further applications. In this review, we summarize three types of synthetic approaches, predoping, surface engineering, and physical blending, to access various melanin-inspired composite materials with distinctive structure and properties. The applications of melanin-inspired composite materials in free radical scavenging, bioimaging, antifouling, and catalytic applications are also reviewed. This review also concludes current challenges that must be addressed and research opportunities in future studies.

Abstract
In the past few years, manganese-based nanostructures have been extensively investigated in the biomedical field particularly to design highly biocompatible theranostics, which can not only act as efficient diagnostic imaging contrast agents but also deliver the drugs to the target sites. The nanoscale size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, availability of cheap precursors, flexibility to synthesize nanostructures with reproducible properties and high yield, and easy scale up are the major reasons for the attraction towards manganese nanostructures. Along with these properties, the nontoxic nature, pH-sensitive degradation, and easy surface functionalization are additional benefits for the use of manganese nanostructures in biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Therefore, in this review, we discuss the recent progress made in the synthesis of manganese nanostructures, describe the attempts made to modify their surfaces to impart biocompatibility and stability in biological fluids, and critically discuss their use in magnetic resonance imaging, drug and gene delivery, hyperthermia, photothermal/photodynamic, immunotherapy, biosensing and tumor diagnosis.

Abstract
Manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnOx NPs) are finding applications in several environmentally important areas such as farming and energy storage. MnOx NPs span a range of metal oxidation states that open up a wide range of applications in catalysis as well. As a result, it is important to understand how such materials can impact human health through incidental exposure. In this study, we examined a range of commercially available Mn2O3 NPs and compared our characterization data to those supplied by manufacturers. Discrepancies were noted and then measured values were used to assess the biological impact of these materials on three mammalian cell lines-A549, HepG2 and J774A.1 cells. Cell toxicity assays showed that all Mn2O3 particles exhibited cytotoxic effects that may be correlated, at least in part, to the production of reactive oxygen species. All eight nanoforms also activated caspase 3 but not caspase 1, although the magnitude of these changes varied greatly between materials.

Abstract
Approximately 6.8 million people die annually because of problems related to the central nervous system (CNS), and out of them, approximately 1 million people are affected by neurodegenerative diseases that include Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease. CNS problems are a primary concern because of the complexity of the brain. There are various drugs available to treat CNS disorders and overcome problems with toxicity, specificity, and delivery. Barriers like the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are a challenge, as they do not allow therapeutic drugs to cross and reach their target. Researchers have been searching for ways to allow drugs to pass through the BBB and reach the target sites. These problems highlight the need of nanotechnology to alter or manipulate various processes at the cellular level to achieve the desired attributes. Due to their nanosize, nanoparticles are able to pass through the BBB and are an effective alternative to drug administration and other approaches. Nanotechnology has the potential to improve treatment and diagnostic techniques for CNS disorders and facilitate effective drug transfer. With the aid of nanoengineering, drugs could be modified to perform functions like transference across the BBB, altering signaling pathways, targeting specific cells, effective gene transfer, and promoting regeneration and preservation of nerve cells. The involvement of a nanocarrier framework inside the delivery of several neurotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of neurological diseases is reviewed in this study.

Novel therapeutic interventions for combating Parkinson's disease and prospects of Nose-to-Brain drug delivery. Biochem Pharmacol 2021; 195:114849.

Abstract
Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder prevalent mainly in geriatric population. While, L-DOPA remains one of the major choices for the therapeutic management of PD, various motor and non-motor manifestations complicate the management of PD. In the last two decades, exhaustive research has been carried out to explore novel therapeutic approaches for mitigating motor and non-motor symptoms of PD. These approaches majorly include receptor-based, anti-inflammatory, stem-cell and nucleic acid based. The major limitations of existing therapeutic interventions (of commonly oral route) are low efficacy due to low brain bioavailability and associated side effects. Nanotechnology has been exploited and has gained wide attention in the recent years as an approach for enhancement of bioavailability of various small molecule drugs in the brain. To address the challenges associated with PD therapy, nose-to-brain delivery utilizing nanomedicine-based approaches has been found to be encouraging in published evidence. Therefore, the present work summarises the major challenges and limitations with antiparkinsonian drugs, novel therapeutic interventions, and scope of nanomedicine-based nose-to-brain delivery in addressing the current challenges of antiparkinsonian therapy. The manuscript tries to sensitize the researchers for designing brain-targeted nanomedicine loaded with natural/synthetic scaffolds, biosimilars, and nucleic acids that can bypass the first-pass effect for the effective management of PD.

Abstract
Among various magnetic nanoparticles, manganese oxide nanoparticles are considered as established T 1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for preclinical research. The implications of their degradation properties and use as therapeutic carriers in drug delivery systems have not been explored. In addition, how the chemical composition and size of manganese oxide nanoparticles, as well as the surrounding environment, influence their degradation and MRI contrast properties (T 1 vs. T 2) have not been studied in great detail. A fundamental understanding of their characteristic properties, such as degradation, is highly desirable for developing simultaneous diagnosis and therapeutic solutions. Here, we demonstrate how the precursor type and reaction environment affect the size and chemical composition of manganese oxide nanoparticles and evaluate their influence on the nanoparticle degradability and release of the drug l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-dopa). The results show that the degradation rate (and the associated release of drug l-dopa molecules) of manganese oxide nanoparticles depends on their size, composition and the surrounding environment (aqueous or biometric fluid). The dependence of MRI relaxivities of manganese oxide nanoparticles on the size, chemical composition and nanoparticle degradation in water is also established. A preliminary cell viability study reveals the cytocompatible properties of l-dopa functionalized manganese oxide nanoparticles. Overall, this work provides new insights into smartly designed manganese oxide nanoparticles with multitasking capabilities to target bioimaging and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The study of interfacing effects arising when different magnetic phases are in close contact has led to the discovery of novel physical properties and the development of innovative technological applications of nanostructured magnetic materials. Chemical and microstructural inhomogeneities at the interfacial region, driven by interdiffusion processes, chemical reactions and interface roughness may significantly affect the final properties of a material and, if suitably controlled, may represent an additional tool to finely tune the overall physical properties. The activity at the Nanostructured Magnetic Materials Laboratory (nM2-Lab) at CNR-ISM of Italy is aimed at designing and investigating nanoscale-engineered magnetic materials, where the overall magnetic properties are dominated by the interface exchange coupling. In this review, some examples of recent studies where the chemical and microstructural properties are critical in determining the overall magnetic properties in core/shell nanoparticles, nanocomposites and multilayer heterostructures are presented.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects around ten million people worldwide and is considered the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. In addition, there is a higher risk incidence in the elderly population. The main PD hallmarks include the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the development of Lewy bodies. Unfortunately, motor symptoms only start to appear when around 50-70% of dopaminergic neurons have already been lost. This particularly poses a huge challenge for early diagnosis and therapeutic effectiveness. Actually, pharmaceutical therapy is able to relief motor symptoms, but as the disease progresses motor complications and severe side-effects start to appear. In this review, we explore the research conducted so far in order to repurpose drugs for PD with the use of nanodelivery systems, alternative administration routes, and nanotheranostics. Overall, studies have demonstrated great potential for these nanosystems to target the brain, improve drug pharmacokinetic profile, and decrease side-effects.

Abstract
Nanotheranostics is one of the emerging research areas in the field of nanobiotechnology offering exciting promises for diagnosis, bio-separation, imaging mechanisms, hyperthermia, phototherapy, chemotherapy, drug delivery, gene delivery, among other uses. The major criteria for any nanotheranostic-materials is 1) to interact with proteins and cells without meddling with their basic activities, 2) to maintain their physical properties after surface modifications and 3) must be nontoxic. One of the challenging targets for nanotheranostics is the nervous system with major hindrances from the neurovascular units, the functional units of blood-brain barrier. As blood-brain barrier is crucial for protecting the CNS from toxins and metabolic fluctuations, most of the synthetic nanomaterials cannot pass through this barrier making it difficult for diagnosing or targeting the cells. Biodegradable nanoparticles show a promising role in this aspect. Certain neural pathologies have compromised barrier creating a path for most of the nanoparticles to enter into the cells. However, such carriers may pose a risk of side effects to non-neural tissues and their toxicity needs to be elucidated at preclinical levels. This article reviews about the different types of nanotheranostic strategies applied in nervous dysfunctions. Further, the side effects of these carriers are reviewed and appropriate methods to test the toxicity of such nano-carriers are suggested to improve the effectiveness of nano-carrier based diagnosis and treatments.

Abstract
The preparation of copper manganite (hopcalite, Cu1.5Mn1.5O4), as a single phase, was achieved by using a sustainable method of green synthesis. This method is based on the replacement of the conventional “brute force” ceramic preparation by the recent “soft force” green synthesis via the egg white assisted one-step method. In other words, we present a facile and rapid methodology to prepare the nanocrystalline Cu1.5Mn1.5O4 spinel as a single phase, compared to our previous work using ceramic and glycine-assisted combustion methods. The as-synthesized copper manganite was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). We used a vibrating sample magnetometer to determine the magnetic properties of the prepared sample (VSM). XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDS and transmittance electron micrograph (TEM) resulted in synthesis of a successful cubic spinel Cu1.5Mn1.5O4 system with a sponge crystal structure. The particles of the prepared materials are polycrystalline in their nature and the sizes ranged between 50 and 100 nm. The magnetic measurement demonstrated that the generated nanostructure has been found to exhibit ferromagnetism at room temperature with an optimum saturation magnetization value (0.2944 emu/g).

Abstract
In the last decade, the use of nanotheranostics as emerging diagnostic and therapeutic tools for various diseases, especially cancer, is held great attention. Up to date, several approaches have been employed in order to develop smart nanotheranostics, which combine bioactive targeting on specific tissues as well as diagnostic properties. The nanotheranostics can deliver therapeutic agents by concomitantly monitor the therapy response in real-time. Consequently, the possibility of over- or under-dosing is decreased. Various non-invasive imaging techniques have been used to quantitatively monitor the drug delivery processes. Radiolabeling of nanomaterials is widely used as powerful diagnostic approach on nuclear medicine imaging. In fact, various radiolabeled nanomaterials have been designed and developed for imaging tumors and other lesions due to their efficient characteristics. Inorganic nanoparticles as gold, silver, silica based nanomaterials or organic nanoparticles as polymers, carbon based nanomaterials, liposomes have been reported as multifunctional nanotheranostics. In this review, the imaging modalities according to their use in various diseases are summarized, providing special details for radiolabeling. In further, the most current nanotheranostics categorized via the used nanomaterials are also summed up. To conclude, this review can be beneficial for medical and pharmaceutical society as well as material scientists who work in the field of nanotheranostics since they can use this research as guide for producing newer and more efficient nanotheranostics.

Abstract
The advancements of magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents (MRCAs) are continuously driven by the critical needs for early detection and diagnosis of diseases, especially for cancer, because MRCAs improve diagnostic accuracy significantly. Although hydrophilic gadolinium (III) (Gd3+) complex-based MRCAs have achieved great success in clinical practice, the Gd3+-complexes have several inherent drawbacks including Gd3+ leakage and short blood circulation time, resulting in the potential long-term toxicity and narrow imaging time window, respectively. Nanotechnology offers the possibility for the development of nontoxic MRCAs with an enhanced sensitivity and advanced functionalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergistic therapy. Herein, we provide an overview of recent successes in the development of renal clearable MRCAs, especially nanodots (NDs, also known as ultrasmall nanoparticles (NPs)) by unique advantages such as high relaxivity, long blood circulation time, good biosafety, and multiple functionalities. It is hoped that this review can provide relatively comprehensive information on the construction of novel MRCAs with promising clinical translation.

Multifunctional Fe 3O 4-Au Nanoparticles for the MRI Diagnosis and Potential Treatment of Liver Cancer. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10091646. [PMID: 32825748 PMCID: PMC7558883 DOI: 10.3390/nano10091646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2020] [Revised: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Heterodimeric nanoparticles comprising materials with different functionalities are of great interest for fundamental research and biomedical/industrial applications. In this work, Fe3O4-Au nano-heterostructures were synthesized by a one-step thermal decomposition method. The hybrid nanoparticles comprise a highly crystalline 12 nm magnetite octahedron decorated with a single noble metal sphere of 6 nm diameter. Detailed analysis of the nanoparticles was performed by UV-visible spectroscopy, magnetometry, calorimetry and relaxometry studies. The cytotoxic effect of the nanoparticles in the human hepatic cell line Huh7 and PLC/PRF/5-Alexander was also assessed. These Fe3O4-Au bifunctional nanoparticles showed no significant cytotoxicity in these two cell lines. The nanoparticles showed a good theranostic potential for liver cancer treatment, since the r2 relaxivity (166.5 mM−1·s−1 and 99.5 mM−1·s−1 in water and HepG2 cells, respectively) is higher than the corresponding values for commercial T2 contrast agents and the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value obtained (227 W/gFe) is enough to make them suitable as heat mediators for Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia. The gold counterpart can further allow the conjugation with different biomolecules and the optical sensing.

Abstract
Background: Manganese oxide has been shown to cause toxicity and is associated with occupational-related disease (e.g., welders). With the goal to improve several biomedical areas, manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO NP) are being considered for use in drug delivery and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to obtain high resolution anatomical images of tumors and gastrointestinal (GI) inflammation. Regardless of whether it is intentional or unintentional ingestion, the GI tract has been shown to be the primary route of entry for metal nanoparticles including MnO NP. However, studies assessing toxicity of MnO NP for intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are virtually nonexistent. Methods: Given the proximity to the GI lumen, assessing the effects of nanoparticles on IECs in the presence of bacterial components presents a more holistic model of exposure. Therefore, we examined the effects of MnO NP alone and MnO NP in combination with Escherichia coli LF82 bacterial lysate on selected functions of MODE-K cells, a murine intestinal epithelial cell line. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Differences with p < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: Results showed MnO NP plus E. coli LF82 lysate added to MODE-K cells severely inhibited monolayer scratch wound healing, enhanced the secretion of interleukin 6 (IL-6), and induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Conclusions: Overall, our findings show that toxicity of MnO NP deleteriously affected MODE-K cells and demonstrated the necessity to integrate other environmental factors, such as microbial components and/or inflammatory cytokines, into studies assessing effects of nanoparticles on mucosal epithelia.

Construction of arsenic-metal complexes loaded nanodrugs for solid tumor therapy: A mini review. Int J Pharm 2020; 583:119385.

Abstract
Arsenic trioxide (As2O3), a front-line therapeutic agent against acute promyelocytic leukemia, has a broad spectrum against malignancies. Unfortunately, the clinical application of As2O3 in treating hematological cancers has not been transformed to solid tumors, for its dose-limited toxicity and undesirable pharmacokinetics. The ordinary As2O3 loaded nanodrugs (such as liposomes, polymer micelles, albumin-based nanodrugs, and silica-based nanodrugs, etc.) still could not fuel up pharmaceuticals and eradicate toxicity for low delivery efficiency caused by the instability and severe drug leakage of formulations during circulation. Recently, the approach of forming and delivering arsenic-metal complexes which will dissociate in the tumoral environment caught our mind. This is the most effective strategy to reduce drug leakage in circulation and accumulate arsenite ions in tumor sites, therefore promote the anti-tumor effect and lighten the toxicity of the drug. This review aims to explain the formation mechanism of arsenic-metal nanocomposites and summarize the constructing strategies of the arsenic-metal nanocomplexes (arsenic-nickel, arsenic-manganese, arsenic-platinum, arsenic-gadolinium, arsenic-zinc, and arsenic-iron nanobins) loaded nanodrugs for solid tumor therapy. Furthermore, the expectations and challenges of arsenic-metal complexes containing nanodrugs for cancer therapy in the future were discussed.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles have been extensively utilised as negative (T2) contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. In the past few years, researchers have also exploited their application as positive (T1) contrast agents to overcome the limitation of traditional Gd3+ contrast agents. To provide T1 contrast, these particles must present certain physicochemical properties with control over the size, morphology and surface of the particles. In this review, we summarise the reported T1 iron oxide nanoparticles and critically revise their properties, synthetic protocols and application, not only in MRI but also in multimodal imaging. In addition, we briefly summarise the most important nanoparticulate Gd and Mn agents to evaluate whether T1 iron oxide nanoparticles can reach Gd/Mn contrast capabilities.

Abstract
Despite the comprehensive applications in bioimaging, biosensing, drug/gene delivery, and tumor therapy of manganese oxide nanomaterials (MONs including MnO2 , MnO, Mn2 O3 , Mn3 O4 , and MnOx ) and their derivatives, a review article focusing on MON-based nanoplatforms has not been reported yet. Herein, the representative progresses of MONs on synthesis, heterogene, properties, surface modification, toxicity, imaging, biodetection, and therapy are mainly introduced. First, five kinds of primary synthetic methods of MONs are presented, including thermal decomposition method, exfoliation strategy, permanganates reduction method, adsorption-oxidation method, and hydro/solvothermal. Second, the preparations of hollow MONs and MON-based composite materials are summarized specially. Then, the chemical properties, surface modification, and toxicity of MONs are discussed. Next, the diagnostic applications including imaging and sensing are outlined. Finally, some representative rational designs of MONs in photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, magnetic hyperthermia, chemotherapy, gene therapy, starvation therapy, ferroptosis, immunotherapy, and various combination therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnOx NPs) have been suggested to possess several enzyme-like activities. However, studies often used either color change or fluorescence to determine the catalytic activity. Despite the simplicity and sensitivity of these probes, these methods may give distracting artifacts or not reflect the catalytic activities in biological systems. To address this issue, herein, we used electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, a technique proven effective in identifying and quantifying the free radicals produced/scavenged in nanomaterial-catalyzed reactions, to systematically evaluate the catalytic activities of three MnOx NPs (MnO2, Mn2O3, and Mn3O4 NPs) towards biologically relevant antioxidants (ascorbate and glutathione (GSH)) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) (hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide anion, and hydroxyl radical). We found that all three MnOx NPs possess both pro- and anti-oxidant activities, including oxidase-, catalase-, and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities but without peroxidase-like or hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. In addition, there are differences among these MnOx NPs in their catalytic activities towards different reactions. Mn2O3 shows the strongest ascorbate oxidation activity, followed by MnO2 and Mn3O4, while Mn3O4 shows the strongest oxidation efficiency towards GSH compared to Mn2O3 and MnO2. In the catalyzed decomposition of H2O2, MnO2 NPs show higher efficiency in the generation of molecular oxygen than Mn2O3 or Mn3O4. Cellular studies indicate that all three MnOx NPs induced concentration-dependent decreases in the cell viability, with Mn3O4 > Mn3O2 > MnO2. At lower concentrations (<100 μM), consistent with the enzyme-like activities detected in solution, all three NPs significantly decreased H2O2-induced cytotoxicity in Caco-2 cells. Our study determined the multi-enzymatic activities of MnOx NPs and exhibited differences among MnOx NPs of different valences in their enzyme-like activities and their biological implications; these results provide valuable information for safe and efficient applications of MnOx NPs as ROS-scavenging biomedical nanomaterials.

Abstract
A multifunctional nanocomposite theranostic system is constructed of manganese oxide (Mn3O4) nanoparticles (NPs), as a tumor diagnostic agent, in conjunction with polyacrylic acid (PAA), as a pH-sensitive drug delivery agent, and methotrexate (MTX), as a model of targeting agent and anticancer drug. Physicochemical characteristics of the Mn3O4@PAA/MTX system is studied in detail by several techniques, including X-ray and Auger photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electrochemical methods. The system performance is studied based on (i) in-vitro MRI measurements to support efficiency of the Mn3O4@PAA NPs as a diagnostic agent, (ii) drug release performance of the Mn3O4@PAA/MTX NPs at pHs of 5.4 and 7.4 through in-vitro method to evaluate application of the NPs as pH-sensitive nanocarriers for MTX, and (iii) impedance spectroscopy measurements to show Mn3O4@PAA/MTX NPs affinity for capturing of cancer cells. The results show that (i) Mn3O4@PAA NPs can be used as a contrast agent in MRI measurements (r1 ≅ 6.5 mM-1 s-1), (ii) the MTX, loaded on Mn3O4@PAA NPs, is released faster and more efficient at pH 5.4 than 7.4, and (iii) the GC-Mn3O4@PAA/MTX electrode system captures the 4T1 cells 3.32 times larger than L929 cells.

Abstract
The discipline of neurotheranostics was forged to improve diagnostic and therapeutic clinical outcomes for neurological disorders. Research was facilitated, in largest measure, by the creation of pharmacologically effective multimodal pharmaceutical formulations. Deployment of neurotheranostic agents could revolutionize staging and improve nervous system disease therapeutic outcomes. However, obstacles in formulation design, drug loading and payload delivery still remain. These will certainly be aided by multidisciplinary basic research and clinical teams with pharmacology, nanotechnology, neuroscience and pharmaceutic expertise. When successful the end results will provide "optimal" therapeutic delivery platforms. The current report reviews an extensive body of knowledge of the natural history, epidemiology, pathogenesis and therapeutics of neurologic disease with an eye on how, when and under what circumstances neurotheranostics will soon be used as personalized medicines for a broad range of neurodegenerative, neuroinflammatory and neuroinfectious diseases.

Abstract
Magnetic nanocomposites constitute a vital class of technologically relevant materials, in particular for next-generation applications ranging from biomedicine, catalysis, and energy devices. Key to designing such materials is determining and controlling the extent of magnetic coupling in them. In this work, we show how the magnetic coupling in bi-magnetic nanocomposites can be controlled by the growth technique. Using four different synthesis strategies to prepare prototypical LaFeO3-CoFe2O4 and LaFeO3-Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanocomposite systems, and by performing comprehensive magnetic measurements, we demonstrate that the final material exhibits striking differences in their magnetic coupling that is distinct to the growth method. Through structural and morphological studies, we confirm the link between the magnetic coupling and growth methods due to distinct levels of particle agglomeration at the very microscopic scale. Our studies reveal an inverse relationship between the strength of magnetic coupling and the degree of particle agglomeration in the nanocomposites. Our work presents a basic concept of controlling the particle agglomeration to tune magnetic coupling, relevant for designing advanced bi-magnetic nanocomposites for novel applications.

Abstract
Purpose: A successful cancer surgery requires the complete removal of cancerous tissue, while also sparing as much healthy, non-cancerous tissue as possible. To achieve this, an accurate identification of tumor boundaries during surgery is critical, but intra-operative tumor visualization remains challenging. Fluorescence imaging is a promising method to improve tumor detection and delineate tumor boundaries during surgery, but the lack of stable, long-circulating, clinically-translatable fluorescent probes that can identify tumors with high signal-to-noise ratios and low background fluorescence signals have prevented its widespread application. Methods: We screened the optical properties of several fluorescent dyes before and after nanoprobe encapsulation, and then identified nanoprobes with quenched fluorescence that were re-activated upon dye release. The physical and biological properties of these nanoprobes leading to fluorescence activation were investigated in vitro. Further, the cancer imaging properties of both free dyes and nanoprobe-encapsulated dyes were compared in vivo. Results: A novel fluorescent nanoprobe was prepared by combining two FDA-approved agents commonly used in the clinic: Feraheme (FH) and indocyanine green (ICG). The resulting FH-entrapped ICG nanoprobe [FH(ICG)] displayed quenched fluorescence compared to other nanoprobes, and this quenched fluorescence was re-activated in acidic tumor microenvironment conditions (pH 6.8) and upon uptake into cancer cells. Finally, in vivo studies in a prostate cancer mouse model demonstrated that FH(ICG) treatments enhance long-term fluorescence signals in tumors compared to ICG treatments, allowing for fluorescence-guided tumor identification using clinically relevant fluorescence cameras. Conclusions: FH(ICG) nanoprobes were identified as fluorescent nanoprobes with beneficial fluorescence activation properties compared to other FH-entrapped dyes. The activatable nature of this nanoprobe allows for a low background fluorescence signal and high signal-to-noise ratio within a long-circulating nanoagent, which allows for long-term fluorescence signals from tumors that enabled their fluorescence-guided detection. This activatable nanoprobe offers tremendous potential as a clinically translatable image-guided cancer therapy modality that can be prepared in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Mitochondria, which are a major source of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and apoptosis regulators, are the key organelles that promote tumor cell proliferation, and their dysfunction affects tumor cell behavior. Additionally, mitochondria have been shown to play a central role in the biosynthesis of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), which is a widely used photosensitizer that has been used for tumor detection, monitoring and photodynamic therapy. Nevertheless, photosensitizers administrated exogenously are often restricted by limited bioavailability.δ-Aminolevulinic acid (δ-ALA) is a naturally occurring delta amino acid that can be converted in situ to PpIX via the heme biosynthetic pathway in mitochondria. Because δ-ALA is the precursor for PpIX, δ-ALA-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) shows promise in treating cancer. However, the accumulation of δ-ALA within endosomal system limits the production of PpIX and eventually impedes its effectiveness. Theranostic nanoparticles (NPs) capable of endosomal escape are expected to optimize the endogenous biosynthetic yield. In this study, δ-ALA was improved with triphenylphosphoniumcation (TPP+), a high net position cation that functions in endosomal escape and as a mitochondria-targeting ligand, and was further modified with bovine serum albumin stabilized manganese dioxide (MnO2). The tumor microenvironment (TME) responsive MnO2 in this system can elevate oxygen content to relieve hypoxia. Both enhanced photosensitizer yield and elevated oxygen contributing to the final therapeutic effect. Moreover, the enhancement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (r1 = 5.410 s-1mM-1) stemming from the degradation of MnO2 by the TME could serve as a guide prior to treatment for accurate location, while in situ hysteretic photoluminescence imaging derived from PpIX can be utilize as a supervisor for prognosis evaluation. This systematic design could broaden the biomedical application and highlight the considerable therapeutic promise of PDT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Effective therapy of various neurological disorders is hindered on account of the failure of various therapeutics crossing blood-brain-barrier (BBB). Nanotheranostics has emerged as a cutting-edge unconventional theranostic nanomedicine, capable of realizing accurate diagnosis together with effective and targeted delivery of therapeutics across BBB to the unhealthy regions of the brain for potential clinical success. AREAS COVERED We have tried to review the current status of nanotheranostic based approaches followed to manage neurological disorders. The focus has been majorly laid on to explore various theranostic nanoparticles and their application potential towards image-guided neurotherapies. Additionally, the usefulness of exceptional diagnostic, imaging techniques including magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence imaging are being discussed by highlighting their promising opportunities in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of the neurological disorders. EXPERT OPINION Inimitable diagnostic and therapeutic potential of nanotheranostics have accomplished the aim of personalized therapies by governing the therapeutic efficacy of the system along with facilitating patient pre-selection grounded on non-invasive imaging, thereby predicting the responses of patients to nanomedicine treatments. While these accomplishments are encouraging, they are still the minority and demands for a continuous effort to improve sensitivity and precision in screening/diagnosis along with improving therapeutic efficacy in various neural disorders.

Abstract
The properties of magnetic nanocomposites rely strongly on the interplay between those of the constituent components. When the individual components themselves are complex systems belonging to the family of correlated electron oxide systems which typically exhibit exotic physical properties, it becomes nontrivial to customize the properties of the nanocomposite. In this paper, we demonstrate an easy, but effective method to synthesize and tune the magnetic properties of nanocomposites consisting of correlated electron oxide systems as the individual components. Our method is based on a novel synthesis technique by which the two components of the nanocomposite can be directly integrated with each other, yielding homogeneous samples on the nanoscale with magnetic behavior reminiscent of a single phase. We illustrate our method using multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) and LaFeO3 (LFO) as the major phase (i.e., matrix), and MFe2O4 (M = Co2+ or Ni2+) as the embedded magnetic phase. Furthermore, we show that by a proper selection of the second phase in the nanocomposite, it is possible to customize the magnetic properties of the matrix. We illustrate this by choosing CoFe2O4 and NiFe2O4, two oxides with widely differing magnetic anisotropies, as the embedded phase, and demonstrate that the coercivity of BFO and LFO can be increased or decreased depending on the choice of the embedded phase in the nanocomposite.

Abstract
Background Utilizing the permeability enhancement and irreversible biomolecule denaturation caused by hyperthermia, photothermal-chemo synergistic therapy has shown great potential in clinical cancer treatment. Purpose The objective of this study was to provide a novel controlled drug release method to improve the efficiency of photothermal-chemo synergistic therapy. Patients and methods HCT116 tumor-bearing mice were selected as modal for the study of cancer theranostics efficiency. The T2 to T1 magnetic resonance imaging contrast switch was studied in vivo. Analyses of the tumor growth of mice were carried out to evaluate the tumor therapy efficiency. Results We developed novel artificially controlled degradable Co3O4 nanoparticles and explored their potential in drug delivery/release. In the presence of ascorbic acid (AA), the designed nanomaterials can be degraded via a redox process and hence release the loaded drugs. Importantly, the AA, in the lack of l-gulonolactone oxidase, cannot be synthesized in the body of typical mammal including human, which suggested that the degradation process can be controlled artificially. Moreover, the obtained nanoparticles have outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency and their degradation can also result in an magnetic resonance imaging contrast enhancement switch from T2 to T1, which benefits the cancer theranostics. Conclusion Our results illustrated that the artificially controlled degradable nanoparticles can serve as an alternative candidate for controllable drug release as well as a platform for highly efficient photothermal-chemo synergistic cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles offer multiple utilization possibilities in biomedicine. In this context, the interaction with cellular structures and their biological effects need to be understood and controlled for clinical safety. New magnetic nanoparticles containing metallic/carbidic iron and elemental silicon phases were synthesized by laser pyrolysis using Fe(CO)₅ vapors and SiH₄ gas as Fe and Si precursors, then passivated and coated with biocompatible agents, such as l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na). The resulting magnetic nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, EDS, and TEM techniques. To evaluate their biocompatibility, doses ranging from 0⁻200 µg/mL hybrid Fe-Si nanoparticles were exposed to Caco2 cells for 24 and 72 h. Doses below 50 μg/mL of both l-DOPA and CMC-Na-coated Fe-Si nanoparticles induced no significant changes of cellular viability or membrane integrity. The cellular internalization of nanoparticles was dependent on their dispersion in culture medium and caused some changes of F-actin filaments organization after 72 h. However, reactive oxygen species were generated after exposure to 25 and 50 μg/mL of both Fe-Si nanoparticles types, inducing the increase of intracellular glutathione level and activation of transcription factor Nrf2. At nanoparticles doses below 50 μg/mL, Caco2 cells were able to counteract the oxidative stress by activating the cellular protection mechanisms. We concluded that in vitro biological responses to coated hybrid Fe-Si nanoparticles depended on particle synthesis conditions, surface coating, doses and incubation time.

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine (PS), the most abundant anionic phospholipid in cell membrane, is strictly confined to the inner leaflet in normal cells. However, this PS asymmetry is found disruptive in many tumor vascular endothelial cells. We discuss the underlying mechanisms for PS asymmetry maintenance in normal cells and its loss in tumor cells. The specificity of PS exposure in tumor vasculature but not normal blood vessels may establish it a useful biomarker for cancer molecular imaging. Indeed, utilizing PS-targeting antibodies, multiple imaging probes have been developed and multimodal imaging data have shown their high tumor-selective targeting in various cancers. There is a critical need for improved diagnosis and therapy for brain tumors. We have recently established PS-targeted nanoplatforms, aiming to enhance delivery of imaging contrast agents across the blood-brain barrier to facilitate imaging of brain tumors. Advantages of using the nanodelivery system, in particular, lipid-based nanocarriers, are discussed here. We also describe our recent research interest in developing PS-targeted nanotheranostics for potential image-guided drug delivery to treat brain tumors.

Abstract
Manganese oxide nanoparticles (MNOPs), when dispersed in a water solution, show a magnetic behavior that drastically changes after an aging process. In this paper, the variation in the magnetic properties has been correlated with the structural evolution of the nanoparticles: in particular, the as prepared Mn3O4/MnO core/shell system manifests a low temperature magnetization reversal that is strongly affected by the presence of the MnO shell and, in particular, by the existence of a frustrated interfacial region playing a key role in determining the low temperature irreversibility, the finite coercivity slightly above the Curie temperature of the Mn3O4 phase and the horizontal displacement of the FC-hysteresis loop. On the other hand, the magnetic behavior of the aged system results dominated by the presence of Mn3O4 whose highly anisotropic character (i.e. high coercivity and high magnetization remanence) is attributed to the presence of a large fraction of surface spins. Such a result is consistent with the structural evolution, from core/shell to hollow nanoparticles, as shown by TEM observation.

Abstract
Recently, theranostic candidates based on superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) providing the combination of therapy and diagnosis have become one of the most promising system in cancer research. However, poor stability, premature drug release, lack of specific tumor cell targeting, and complicated multi-step synthesis processes still hinder them for potential clinical applications. In this research, the multi-functional magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs-DOX) were prepared via a simple assembly process for targeted delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) and enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging detection. Firstly, the multi-functional copolymer coating, polyamidoamine (PAMAM), was designed and synthesized by Michael addition reaction, where N,N-bis(acryloyl)cystamine served as backbone linker, and DOX, dopamine (DA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) acted as comonomers. The PAMAM was then directly assembled to the surface of SPIONs by the ligand exchange reaction with SPIONs forming the MNPs-DOX. The hydrophilic PEG moieties provide the nanoparticles with colloidal stability and good-dispersity in aqueous solution. Comparing with the quick release of free DOX, the drug release behavior of MNPs-DOX exhibited a sustained drug release. Because the chemical cleavage of disulfide in the polymer backbone, a high cumulative drug release up to 60% in GSH within 48 h was observed, rather than only 26% in PBS (pH 7.4) without GSH. The MR imaging detection experiment showed that the MNPs-DOX had an enhanced T2 relaxivity of 126 mM−1 S−1 for MR imaging. The results of the cytotoxicity assays showed a remarkable killing effect of cancer cells by MNPs-DOX due to the FA tumor-targeting ligand, comparing with non-targeted drug molecules. All the results showed that the as prepared multi-functional magnetic nanoparticles may serve as a promising theranostic candidate for targeted anticancer drug delivery and efficient detection through MR imaging in medical application.

Abstract
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of amyloid plaques is a powerful non-invasive approach for the early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) along with clinical observations of behavioral changes and cognitive impairment. The present article aims at giving a critical and comprehensive review of recent advances in the development of nanoparticle-based contrast agents for brain MRI. Nanoparticles considered for the MRI of AD must comply with a highly stringent set of requirements including low toxicity and the ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier. In addition, to reach an optimal signal-to-noise ratio, they must exhibit a specific ability to target amyloid plaques, which can be achieved by grafting antibodies, peptides or small molecules. Finally, we propose to consider new directions for the future of MRI in the context of Alzheimer's disease, in particular by enhancing the performances of contrast agents and by including therapeutic functionalities following a theranostic strategy.

Abstract
In this paper, the conformational changes of cytochrome c (cyt c) upon interaction with manganese nanoparticle (Mn-NP) were examined using dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential, fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy methods. DLS and TEM analysis exhibited the structure of Mn-NP was less than 50nm. FTIR bands were similar to those reported for Mn-NP. Zeta potential measurements showed positive charge distribution for Mn-NP (4.71±0.71mV) at pH 7.8. It was revealed that the mechanism of fluorescence quenching incorporated both dynamic and static quenching. Also, binding site and binding constant increased as the temperature is raised. The positive sign of ΔH° and ΔS° suggested that hydrophobic forces are indicative forces in the interaction between cyt c and Mn-NP. Synchronous fluorescence spectra revealed that the conformation of protein was not perturbed around tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) residues. CD analysis suggested that there was a conformational change at tertiary structure levels of cyt c in the vicinity of phenylalanine (Phe) residues, while the secondary structure of protein was not altered. This study facilitates a deeper insight on the interaction mechanisms between NPs and biological macromolecules.

Core-shell NaGdF 4@CaCO 3 nanoparticles for enhanced magnetic resonance/ultrasonic dual-modal imaging via tumor acidic micro-enviroment triggering. Sci Rep 2017; 7:5370. [PMID: 28710468 PMCID: PMC5511195 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-05395-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2016] [Accepted: 05/30/2017] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
For cancer diagnosis, a paramount challenge still exists in the exploring of methods that can precisely discriminate tumor tissues from their surrounding healthy tissues with a high target-to-background signal ratio. Here, we report a NaGdF4@CaCO3-PEG core-shell nanoparticle which has the tumor acidic microenvironment enhanced imaging signals of ultrasound and magnetic resonance. Under the acidic conditions, the CaCO3 shell will gradually dissolve which then facilitate the interaction of NaGdF4 with the external aqueous environment to enhance water proton relaxation. Meanwhile, the CO2 bubbles generated by the CaCO3 dissolvement will generate strong elastic echo for US detection. The core-shell structure of NaGdF4@CaCO3-PEG can be observed by TEM, and its composition can be determined by STEM. The acid triggered generation of CO2 bubbles and the enhancement of MRI signal could be demonstrated in vitro, and the excellent dual-modal magnetic resonance/ultrasonic cancer imaging abilities of NaGdF4@CaCO3-PEG could be also proved at the tumor site in vivo. The here described proof-of-concept nanoparticles with pH triggered magnetic resonance/ultrasonic dual-modal imaging enhancement, may serve as a useful guide to develop various molecular imaging strategies for cancer diagnosis in the future.

Abstract
Antifouling manganese oxide (Mn3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by solvothermal decomposition of tris(2,4-pentanedionato) manganese(III) in the presence of trisodium citrate, followed by surface modification with polyethylene glycol and l-cysteine. The as-prepared nanoparticles have a uniform size distribution, good colloidal stability and good cytocompatibility. The modification of l-cysteine rendered the particles with much longer blood circulation time (half-decay time of 28.4 h) than those without l-cysteine modification (18.5 h), and decreased macrophage cellular uptake. Thanks to desirable antifouling property and relatively high r1 relaxivity (3.66 mM-1 s-1), the l-cysteine-modified Mn3O4 NPs can be used for enhanced tumor magnetic resonance imaging applications.
