Biological Use of Nanostructured Silica-Based Materials Functionalized with Metallodrugs: The Spanish Perspective. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032332. [PMID: 36768659 PMCID: PMC9917151 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Since the pioneering work of Vallet-Regí's group on the design and synthesis of mesoporous silica-based materials with therapeutic applications, during the last 15 years, the potential use of mesoporous silica nanostructured materials as drug delivery vehicles has been extensively explored. The versatility of these materials allows the design of a wide variety of platforms that can incorporate numerous agents of interest (fluorophores, proteins, drugs, etc.) in a single scaffold. However, the use of these systems loaded with metallodrugs as cytotoxic agents against different diseases and with distinct therapeutic targets has been studied to a much lesser extent. This review will focus on the work carried out in this field, highlighting both the pioneering and recent contributions of Spanish groups that have synthesized a wide variety of systems based on titanium, tin, ruthenium, copper and silver complexes supported onto nanostructured silica. In addition, this article will also discuss the importance of the structural features of the systems for evaluating and modulating their therapeutic properties. Finally, the most interesting results obtained in the study of the potential therapeutic application of these metallodrug-functionalized silica-based materials against cancer and bacteria will be described, paying special attention to preclinical trials in vivo.

Effect of chain length on the cytotoxic activity of (alkyl-ω-ol)triphenyltin(IV) loaded into SBA-15 nanostructured silica and in vivo study of SBA-15~Cl|Ph 3Sn(CH 2) 8OH. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 140:213054.

Abstract
A series of nanostructured SBA-15-based materials functionalized with the tetraorganotin(IV) metallodrugs Ph3Sn(CH2)nOH (n = 3, 4, 6, 8 and 11) are synthesized and structurally characterized by different techniques used in solid-state chemistry. The cytotoxicity of both the organotin(IV) compounds and the tin-functionalized SBA-15 materials are studied against different cancer cell lines observing that the materials have similar cytotoxic activity in comparison with the free organotin compounds in terms of mass. However, considering that the percentage of active metal compound loaded into material is low, the utilization of mesoporous silica as drug vehicle clearly improves the cytotoxic effectiveness of metal-based drugs against cancer cells. One of the most potent between all tested systems is material SBA-15~Cl|Ph3Sn(CH2)8OH. Its cytotoxicity seems to come from additional mechanisms apart from apoptosis provoking cell reprogram in B16 melanoma into more mature and less aggressive phenotype. Moderated production of ROS/RNS is probably in the background of observed phenomenon. Obtained results are further confirmed in syngeneic mouse model of melanoma in C57BL6 mice. The in vivo results show that SBA-15 do not disturb tumor growth, while both Ph3Sn(CH2)8OH and SBA-15~Cl|Ph3Sn(CH2)8OH significantly decreases tumor volume with an enhancement of the antitumor potential of the tetraorganotin(IV) compound upon immobilization in SBA-15.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:2016.

Abstract
Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MSNs) have received increasing attention in biomedical applications due to their tuneable pore size, surface area, size, surface chemistry, and thermal stability. The biocompatibility of MSNs, although generally believed to be satisfactory, is unclear. Physicochemical properties of MSNs, such as diameter size, morphology, and surface charge, control their biological interactions and toxicity. Experimental conditions also play an essential role in influencing toxicological results. Therefore, the present study includes studies from the last five years to statistically analyse the effect of various physicochemical features on MSN-induced in-vitro cytotoxicity profiles. Due to non-normally distributed data and the presence of outliers, a Kruskal-Wallis H test was conducted on different physicochemical characteristics, including diameter sizes, zeta-potential measurements, and functionalisation of MSNs, based on the viability results, and statistical differences were obtained. Subsequently, pairwise comparisons were performed using Dunn's procedure with a Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Other experimental parameters, such as type of cell line used, cell viability measurement assay, and incubation time, were also explored and analysed for statistically significant results.

Abstract
Background The cancer burden is rising rapidly worldwide, and it annually causes about 8.8 million deaths worldwide. Due to chemical drugs’ side effects and the emergence of resistance, the development of new green drugs has received much attention. We aimed to investigate whether solid-lipid nanoparticles containing essential oil of Zataria multiflora (ZMSLN) enhanced the anticancer efficacy of the essential oil against breast cancer (MDA-MB-468) and melanoma (A-375) cells. Results ZMSLN was prepared by the high-pressure homogenizer method; particle size 176 ± 8 nm, polydispersity index 0.22 ± 0.1, entrapment efficiency 67 ± 5%. The essential oil showed a dose-dependent antiproliferative effect on MDA-MB-468 and A-375 cells at all examined concentrations (75, 150, 300, 600, and 1200 μg/mL). Interestingly, after treating both cells with 75 μg/mL of ZMSLN, their viabilities were reduced to under 13%. Conclusion The finding showed that ZMSLN had a distinct antiproliferative efficacy; it could thus be considered a green anticancer candidate for further in vivo and in vivo studies.

Abstract
CP (cisplatin) and mesoporous silica SBA-15 (Santa Barbara amorphous 15) loaded with CP (→SBA-15|CP) were tested in vitro and in vivo against low metastatic mouse melanoma B16F1 cell line. SBA-15 only, as drug carrier, is found to be not active, while CP and SBA-15|CP revealed high cytotoxicity in lower μM range. The activity of SBA-15|CP was found similar to the activity of CP alone. Both CP and SBA-15|CP induced inhibition of cell proliferation (carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester - CFSE assay) along with G2/M arrest (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole - DAPI assay). Apoptosis (Annexin V/ propidium iodide - PI assay), through caspase activation (apostat assay) and nitric oxide (NO) production (diacetate(4-amino-5-methylamino-2',7'-difluorofluorescein-diacetat) - DAF FM assay), was identified as main mode of cell death. However, slight elevated autophagy (acridine orange - AO assay) was detected in treated B16F1 cells. CP and SBA-15|CP did not affect production of ROS (reactive oxygen species) in B16F1 cells. Both SBA-15|CP and CP induced in B16F1 G2 arrest and subsequent senescence. SBA-15|CP, but not CP, blocked the growth of melanoma in C57BL/6 mice. Moreover, hepato- and nephrotoxicity in SBA-15|CP treated animals were diminished in comparison to CP confirming multiply improved antitumor potential of immobilized CP. Outstandingly, SBA-15 boosted in vivo activity and diminished side effects of CP.

Abstract
The natural product emodin (EO) exhibits anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenesis and antineoplastic properties in vitro and in vivo. Due to its biological properties as well as its fluorescence, EO can be useful in pharmacology and pharmacokinetics. To enhance its selectivity to cancer cells, EO was loaded into non-fluorescent and novel fluorescent spherical mesoporous nanoparticles bearing N-methyl isatoic anhydride (SNM~M) or lissamine rhodamine B sulfonyl moieties (SNM~L). The propylamine functionalized mesoporous silica nanomaterial (SNM) were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen gas sorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fluorescence spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and UV spectroscopy. The cytotoxicity of EO-loaded nanoparticles was tested against the human colon carcinoma cell line HT-29. Non-loaded SNM did not affect cell proliferation, whereas those loaded with EO were at least as efficient as EO alone. It could be shown by fluorescence microscopy that the uptake of silica nanomaterial by the tumor cells occurred within 2 h and the release of EO occurred within 48 h of treatment. Flow cytometry and Western blot analysis showed that SNM containing EO induced apoptosis in HT-29 cells.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the great advancement in understanding the pharmacology and biology of cancer, it still signifies one of the most serious human-health related problems. The current treatments for cancer may include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, but these procedures have several limitations. Current studies have shown that nanoparticles (NPs) can be used as a novel strategy for cancer treatment. Developing nanosystems that allow lower doses of therapeutic agents, as well as their selective release in tumour cells, may resolve the challenges of targeted cancer therapy. In this review, the authors discuss the role of the size, shape, and surface modifications of NPs in cancer treatment. They also address the challenges associated with cancer therapies based on NPs. The overall purpose of this review is to summarise the recent developments in designing different hybrid NPs with promising therapeutic properties for different types of cancer.

Abstract
The synthesis, characterization and cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines of various mesoporous silica-based materials containing folate targeting moieties and a cytotoxic fragment based on a triphenyltin(IV) derivative have been studied. Two different mesoporous nanostructured silica systems have been used: firstly, micronic silica particles of the MSU-2 type and, secondly, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) of about 80 nm. Both series of materials have been characterized by different methods, such as powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, absorption spectroscopy and microscopy. In addition, these systems have been tested against four different cancer cell lines, namely, OVCAR-3, DLD-1, A2780 and A431, in order to observe if the size of the silica-based systems and the quantity of incorporated folic acid influence their cytotoxic action. The results show that the materials are more active when the quantity of folic acid is higher, especially in those cells that overexpress folate receptors such as OVCAR-3 and DLD-1. In addition, the study of the potential modulation of the soluble folate receptor alpha (FOLR1) by treatment with the synthesized materials has been carried out using OVCAR-3, DLD-1, A2780 and A431 tumour cell lines. The results show that a relatively high concentration of folic acid functionalization of the nanostructured silica together with the incorporation of the cytotoxic tin fragment leads to an increase in the quantity of the soluble FOLR1 secreted by the tumour cells. In addition, the studies reported here show that this increase of the soluble FOLR1 occurs presumably by cutting the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor of membrane FR-α and by the release of intracellular FR-α. This study validates the potential use of a combination of mesoporous silica materials co-functionalized with folate targeting molecules and an organotin(IV) drug as a strategy for the therapeutic treatment of several cancer cells overexpressing folate receptors.

Copper-functionalized nanostructured silica-based systems: Study of the antimicrobial applications and ROS generation against gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

Abstract
A series of copper-functionalized SBA-15 (Santa Barbara Amorphous) materials containing the ligands triethoxysilylpropylmaleamic acid (maleamic) or triethoxy-3-(2-imidazolin-1-yl)propylsilane (imidazoline) have been prepared. The nanostructured silica-based systems SBA-maleamic, SBA-imidazoline, SBA-maleamic-Cu and SBA-imidazoline-Cu were characterized by several methods observing that the functionalization took place mainly inside the pores of the mesoporous system. The antimicrobial behaviour of the synthesized materials against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was tested observing a very potent activity of the copper-functionalized systems (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values for SBA-maleamic-Cu of ca. 31.25 μg/mL, which correspond with ca. 1.13 μg/mL of Cu). A study of the oxidative stress promoted by the synthesized materials showed that the SBA-maleamic-Cu and the SBA-imidazoline-Cu were able to increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in S. aureus by 427% and 373%, respectively, while this increase was slightly lower in E. coli (387 and 324%, respectively). Furthermore, an electrochemical study was carried out in order to determine if these materials interact with lysine or alanine to validate a potential antimicrobial mechanism based on the inhibition of the synthesis of the peptidoglycan of the bacterial wall. Finally, these studies were also performed to determine the potential interaction of the copper-containing materials with glutathione in order to assess if they are able to perturb the metabolism of this tripeptide.

Impact of the mesoporous silica SBA-15 functionalization on the mode of action of Ph 3Sn(CH 2) 6OH. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 100:315-322. [PMID: 30948067 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.03.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2018] [Revised: 02/22/2019] [Accepted: 03/04/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Herein appropriateness of nonfunctionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles SBA-15 and functionalized with (3-chloropropyl)triethoxysilane (→ SBA-15~Cl) and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (→ SBA-15~NH2) on delivery of physically adsorbed Ph3Sn(CH2)6OH (Sn6) is evaluated. Fluorescent nanomaterial, bearing isatoic moiety, loaded with Sn6 (→ SBA-15~NF|Sn6) was used for cellular uptake study. The fluorescent nanomaterial is efficiently acquired and distributed into the cytoplasm of the cells even after 2 h of cultivation. According to the attained data, all SBA-15 materials loaded with Sn6 diminished cellular viability in dose dependent manner while carriers alone (SBA-15, SBA-15~Cl, SBA-15~NH2) did not show cytotoxicity against B16 cells. According to the MC50 values structural modification of SBA-15 did not improve the efficacy of tested drug. While progressive apoptosis was detected upon the treatment with SBA-15|Sn6, exposure of cells to SBA-15~NH2|Sn6 revealed extinguished apoptosis in time, accompanied with lower caspase activity. This effect is probably due to triggered autophagic process under the treatment with the SBA-15~NH2|Sn6, thus opposed to apoptosis. Presented results suggested that functionalization of SBA-15 was not beneficial for the efficacy of loaded drug, thus, all of them are almost equally efficient considering loaded Sn6 content. Importantly, functionalization of SBA-15 does have an influence on the mode of action and differentiation inducing properties.
