Abstract
Despite the investment in platinum drugs research, cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin are still the only Pt-based compounds used as first line treatments for several cancers, with a few other compounds being approved for administration in some Asian countries. However, due to the severe and worldwide impact of oncological diseases, there is an urge for improved chemotherapeutic approaches. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical application of platinum complexes is hindered by their inherent toxicity and acquired resistance. Nanodelivery systems rose as a key strategy to overcome these challenges, with recognized versatility and ability towards improving the safety, bioavailability and efficacy of the available drugs. Among the known nanocarriers, organic systems have been widely applied, taking advantage of their potential as drug vehicles. Researchers have mainly focused on the development of lipidic and polymeric carriers, including supramolecular structures, with an overall improvement of encapsulated platinum complexes. Herein, an overview of recent trends and strategies is presented, with the main focus on the encapsulation of platinum compounds into organic nanocarriers, showcasing the evolution in the design and development of these promising systems. This comprehensive review highlights formulation methods as well as characterization procedures, providing insights that may be helpful for the development of novel platinum nanocarriers aiming at future pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Current challenges in oncology are largely associated with the need to improve the effectiveness of cancer treatment and to reduce drug's side effects. An effective strategy to cope with these challenges is behind designing and developing drug delivery systems based on smart nanomaterials and approved anticancer drugs. The present study offers a novel and straightforward approach to efficiently load the cisplatin drug into the newly constructed liposome-based nanosystems as well a reliable technique for monitoring this process based on capillary electrophoresis hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry. The proposed drug-loading methodology comprises liposome formation via a simple ethanol-injection method and propels increased drug encapsulation using tailor-made freeze-thawing or lyophilization-hydration procedures. To optimize liposome generation and drug encapsulation, the effects of dilution medium and liposome composition (types of phospholipids and their percentage ratio) have been investigated in detail. It was shown that modest alterations of the composition of three-component phospholipid liposomes and parameters of the freeze-thawing procedure have a strong impact on the formation of cisplatin-liposome systems. The obtained cisplatin-liposome formulation features a remarkable degree of drug encapsulation, over 100 mg L-1, and holds promise for further preclinical development as a potent drug-delivery platform.

Abstract
Liposomal drug delivery systems stand as versatile therapeutic platforms for precisely targeting related elements in cancerous tissues owing to their intrinsic passive and acquired active targeting capabilities and exceptional compatibility with physiologic environments. When the capacity of liposomes as nanocarriers is combined with the revolutionary potential of RNA therapies in affecting undruggable targets, the outcome would be promising drug candidates as game-changers in the cancer treatment arena. However, optimizing liposome composition, physicochemical properties, and surface chemistry is paramount to maximizing their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic attributes. This review highlighted the potential of liposomes as nanovehicles for RNA therapeutics through a literature review and looked at the most recent preclinical and clinical advancements in utilizing liposomal RNA therapeutics for cancer management. Notably, the discovery of novel targets, advancements in liposome engineering, and organizing well-planned clinical trials would help uncover the incredible potential of these nanotherapeutics in cancer patients.

Abstract
The goal of this work was to develop a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling framework for cisplatin. The model was constructed based on 11 published data sets from rodents; and rabbit, dog, and human data were used to evaluate its utility in predicting plasma and tissue distribution of platinum in larger species, including humans. The model included biotransformation of cisplatin into mobile (k1) and fixed (k2) metabolites in all tissues, and subsequent conversion of fixed metabolites to mobile metabolites (k3) due to protein degradation and turnover. The model successfully captured complex pharmacokinetics of platinum in rodents, and all parameters were estimated with sufficient precision. A separate k2 parameter was estimated for each included tissue, and the relationship between the rates of formation of mobile and fixed metabolites was established through a scaling factor (k1=k2·SF, SF=0.74). For interspecies predictions, k1 and k2 were shared across all species, and k3 was scaled allometrically based on protein turnover rate (with an exponent of -0.28). Scaled PBPK model provided a good prediction of total platinum profiles in humans and reasonably captured platinum measurements in human tissues (as obtained from autopsy).

Abstract
AbstractThere are significant challenges in developing drug carriers for therapeutic perspective. We have investigated a novel nanocarrier system, based on combining functionalized magnetic nanocomposite with Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs). Magnetic nanoparticles modified using biocompatible copolymers may be suitable for delivering hydrophobic drugs, such as cisplatin. Furthermore, compared to polymeric nanocarriers, nanocomposite constructed from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) have demonstrated better drug loading capacity, as well as excellent pH-triggered drug release. Cisplatin-encapsulated Fe3O4@SiO2-ZIF-8@N-Chit-FA has been evaluated to determine the antitumor effects of free cisplatin enhancement in cervical cancer cells. In order to increase the stability of the proposed nanocarrier in aqueous solutions, in addition to the density of functional groups, a nano-chitosan layer was coated on top of the magnetic nanocomposite. It was then added with cisplatin onto the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2-ZIF-8@N-Chit-FA to deliver anticancer treatment that could be targeted using a magnetic field. A mouse isograft model of TC1 cells was used to evaluate the in vivo tumor growth inhibition. In tumor-bearing mice, Fe3O4@SiO2-ZIF-8@N-Chit-FA-cisplatin was injected intraperitoneally, and the targeted delivery was amplified by an external magnet (10 mm by 10 mm, surface field strength 0.4 T) fixed over the tumor site. Based on in vivo results, cisplatin-Loaded Mesoporous Magnetic Nanobiocomposite inhibited the growth of cervical tumors (P < 0.001) through the induction of tumor necrosis (P < 0.05) when compared to cisplatin alone. With the application of an external magnetic field, the drug was demonstrated to be able to induce its effects on specific target areas. In summary, Fe3O4 @ SiO2-ZIF-8 @ N-Chit-FA nanocomposites have the potential to be implemented in targeted nanomedicine to deliver bio-functional molecules.

Abstract
Coating nanosized anticancer drug delivery systems (DDSs) with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), the so-called PEGylation, has been proven an effective method to enhance hydrophilicity, aqueous dispersivity, and stability of DDSs. What is more, as PEG has the lowest level of protein absorption of any known polymer, PEGylation can reduce the clearance of DDSs by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) and prolong their blood circulation time in vivo. However, the "stealthy" characteristic of PEG also diminishes the uptake of DDSs by cancer cells, which may reduce drug utilization. Therefore, dynamic protection strategies have been widely researched in the past years. Coating DDSs with PEG through dynamic covalent or noncovalent bonds that are stable in blood and normal tissues, but can be broken in the tumor microenvironment (TME), can achieve a DePEGylation-based "tumor-triggered" targeting or intracellular drug release, which can effectively improve the utilization of drugs and reduce their side effects. In this review, the stimuli and methods of "tumor-triggered" targeting or intracellular drug release, based on DePEGylation, are summarized. Additionally, the targeting and intracellular controlled release behaviors of the DDSs are briefly introduced.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is a global fatal type of cancer. It is a type of cancer that affect men. Signs and symptoms of the disease include blood in the urine, pain when one micturates, and difficulties in penis erection. Cisplatin chemotherapy is a principal treatment normally given to the prostate cancer patients. Nonetheless, on its own, cisplatin loses efficacy once administered due to liver pass effects and other biochemical attacks. In this paper, we looked at preparation of PCL nanoparticles loaded with cisplatin and their potential for the treatment of prostate cancer. PCL nanoparticles protect cisplatin from biochemical attack, thus increasing drug efficacy. Incorporation of P-glycoprotein inhibitors in PCL nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with cisplatin could improve prostate cancer treatment even more.

Abstract
Cis-Diaminedichloroplatinum (cisplatin, CDDP) remained among the most widely used anti-cancer agents; however, management of the dose-limiting side effects is still a great hurdle to its therapeutic potential. In the framework of this investigation, novel approach was developed for CDDP encasement within liposome based on the formation of a coordination bond between the platinum (II) atom and a carboxylic group in aspartic acid (AA) and glutamic acid (GA). We have also compared two methods of preparation based on equilibration and conventional lipid film hydration. For this, first FTIR spectra of the conjugates confirmed coordination bond between Pt and the carboxylate moieties. The PEGylated liposomes composed of HSPC, cholesterol and DPPG had a size of 134 to 197 nm and negative zeta potential (-14.20 to -20.90 mv). Cytotoxicity study revealed IC50 values of <7 µg/ml for liposomes. In vivo plasma retention following iv administration indicated the potential of liposome in maintaining cisplatin levels within the circulation, while free cisplatin and cisplatin conjugates were promptly eliminated. Anti-tumor efficacy studies following iv injections at 3 mg/kg cisplatin weekly for three weeks in C26 tumor bearing BALB/c mice demonstrated the potential of the cisplatin liposomes in tumor growth inhibition. Pt-complexes were not as effective as liposomal formulations showing the crucial role of liposomes in maintaining cisplatin levels within blood circulation. Overall, the developed cisplatin liposome seems to be a promising therapeutic approach for targeting solid tumors.

Abstract
In the advancement of tumor therapy, in addition to the search for new antitumor compounds, the development of nano-drug delivery systems has opened up new pathways for tumor treatment by addressing some of the limitations of traditional drugs. Liposomes have received much attention for their high biocompatibility, low toxicity, high inclusivity, and improved drug bioavailability. They are one of the most studied nanocarriers, changing the size and surface characteristics of liposomes to better fit the tumor environment by taking advantage of the unique pathophysiology of tumors. They can also be designed as tumor targeting drug delivery vehicles for the precise delivery of active drugs into tumor cells. This paper reviews the current development of liposome formulations, summarizes the characterization methods of liposomes, and proposes strategies to improve the effectiveness of tumor treatment. Finally, it provides an outlook on the challenges and future directions of the field. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Conventional anticancer therapies exploiting platinum-based drugs rely principally on the intravascular injection of the therapeutic agent. The anticancer drug is distributed throughout the body by the systemic blood circulation undergoing cellular uptake, rapid clearance and excretion. Consequently, only a small portion of the platinum-based drug reaches the tumor site, which is associated with severe side effects. For this reason, targeted delivery systems are of great need since they offer enhanced and selective delivery of a drug to cancerous cells making the therapy safe and more effective. Up to date, a variety of the Pt-based drug targeted delivery systems (Pt-based DTDSs) utilizing nanomaterials have been developed and tested using a range of analytical techniques that provided essential information on their synthesis, stability, biodistribution and cytotoxicity. Here we summarize those experimental techniques indicating their applicability at different stages of the research, as well as pointing out their strengths, advantages, drawbacks and limitations. Also, the existing strategies and approaches are critically reviewed with the objective to reveal and give rise to the development of the analytical methodology suitable for reliable Pt-based DTDSs characterization which would eventually result in novel therapies and better patients' outcomes.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the potency of cisplatin (Cispt)-loaded liposome (LCispt) and PEGylated liposome (PLCispt) as therapeutic nanoformulations in the treatment of bladder cancer (BC). Cispt was loaded into liposomes using reverse-phase evaporation method, and the formulations were characterized using dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, dialysis membrane, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) methods. The results showed that the particles were formed in spherical monodispersed shapes with a nanoscale size (221–274 nm) and controlled drug release profile. The cytotoxicity effects of LCispt and PLCispt were assessed in an in vitro environment, and the results demonstrated that PLCispt caused a 2.4- and 1.9-fold increase in the cytotoxicity effects of Cispt after 24 and 48 h, respectively. The therapeutic and toxicity effects of the formulations were also assessed on BC-bearing rats. The results showed that PLCispt caused a 4.8-fold increase in the drug efficacy (tumor volume of 11 ± 0.5 and 2.3 ± 0.1 mm3 in Cispt and PLCispt receiver rats, respectively) and a 3.3-fold decrease in the toxicity effects of the drug (bodyweight gains of 3% and 10% in Cispt and PLCispt receiver rats, respectively). The results of toxicity were also confirmed by histopathological studies. Overall, this study suggests that the PEGylation of LCispt is a promising approach to achieve a nanoformulation with enhanced anticancer effects and reduced toxicity compared to Cispt for the treatment of BC.

Abstract
Cisplatin cis-(diammine)dichloridoplatinum(II) (CDDP) is the first platinum-based complex approved by the food and drug administration (FDA) of the United States (US). Cisplatin is the first line chemotherapeutic agent used alone or combined with radiations or other anti-cancer agents for a broad range of cancers such as lung, head and neck. Aroplatin™, Lipoplatin™ and SPI-077 are PEGylated liposome-based nano-formulations that are still under clinical trials. They have many limitations, for example, poor aqueous solubility, drug resistance and toxicities, which can be overcome by encapsulating the cisplatin in Nemours nanocarriers. The extensive literature from different electronic databases covers the different nano-delivery systems that are developed for cisplatin. This review critically emphasizes on the recent advancement, development, innovations and updated literature reported for different carrier systems for CDDP.

Abstract
Biological membrane plays an important role in maintaining an osmotic equilibrium between the cytoplasm and the extracellular solution of cells. Here, the giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) as cell models were used to investigate the effect of osmotic stress on phospholipid membranes. The deformation of GUVs, including inward budding and outward budding, was systematically investigated by the osmotic press from glucose, sucrose, LiCl, and KCl solutions. The permeability (P) of DMPC, DMPC/10 mol% Chol GUVs, DMPC/25 mol% Chol GUVs, and DMPC/40 mol% Chol GUVs in glucose, sucrose, LiCl, and KCl solutions were all obtained. The P value decreases with the addition of more cholesterol in the bilayer. The monovalent cations caused higher permeability of lipid bilayer membranes due to their combination with phospholipids. The molar flux of water (J) value was found to be the key factor for determining the deformation state from mainly inward budding to mainly outward budding. The findings in this paper may help us to understand cell transformation triggered with osmotic stress.

Abstract
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers were prepared by electrospun, on which the cis-diamminediiodoplatinum (cis-DIDP) was loaded, cis-DIDP@PCL, which effectively overcame cis-DIDP from dissociation or premature interaction with other bimolecular groups. Meanwhile, the toxicity and cross-resistance of cis-DIDP were reduced greatly. In vitro, cis-DIDP released from the PCL nanofibers eradicated the tumor cells around twice times more than free cis-DIDP, even better than cisplatin. Furthermore, cis-DIDP@PCL could controllably release cis-DIDP in different sustained-release solution based on our experiment.

Abstract
In order to improve the transfection efficiency and reduce the cytotoxicity of gene carriers, many strategies have been used to develop novel gene carriers. In this study, five complex micelles (MSP(2 k), MSP(4 k), MSP(6 k), MSP(8 k), and MSP(10 k)) were prepared from methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (mPEG-b-PLGA) and sorbitol-poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide)-graft-PEI (sorbitol-PLGA-g-PEI, where the designed molecular weights of PLGA chains were 2 kDa, 4 kDa, 6 kDa, 8 kDa, and 10 kDa, respectively) copolymers by a self-assembly method, and the mass ratio of mPEG-b-PLGA to sorbitol-PLGA-g-PEI was 1/3. These complex micelles and their gene complexes had appropriate sizes and zeta potentials, and pEGFP-ZNF580 (pDNA) could be efficiently internalized into EA.hy926 cells by their gene complexes (MSP(2 k)/pDNA, MSP(4 k)/pDNA, MSP(6 k)/pDNA, MSP(8 k)/pDNA, and MSP(10 k)/pDNA). The MTT assay results demonstrated that the gene complexes had low cytotoxicity in vitro. When the hydrophobic PLGA chain increased above 6 kDa, the gene complexes showed higher performance than that prepared from short hydrophobic chains. Moreover, the relative ZNF580 protein expression levels in MSP(6 k)/pDNA, MSP(8 k)/pDNA, and MSP(10 k)/pDNA) groups were 79.6%, 71.2%, and 73%, respectively. These gene complexes could promote the transfection of endothelial cells, while providing important information and insight for the design of new and effective gene carriers to promote the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells.

Abstract
The use of artificial cells has attracted considerable attention in various fields from biotechnology to medicine. Here, we develop a cell-sized vesicle-in-vesicle (VIV) structure containing a separate inner vesicle (IV) that can be loaded with DNA. We use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to successfully amplify the amount of DNA confined to the IV. Subsequent osmotic stress-induced fission of a mother VIV into two daughter VIVs successfully divides the IV content while keeping it confined to the IV of the daughter VIVs. The fission rate was estimated to be ∼20% quantified by fluorescence microscope. Our VIV structure represents a step forward toward construction of an advanced, fissionable cell model.

Abstract
Amphiphilic aliphatic amines grafted konjac glucomannan (KGM-g-AH8, KGM-g-AH12 and KGM-g-AH18) micelles were prepared via a simple two-step synthesis with Schiff's base as the "switch" to achieve intracellular acid-triggered curcumin release. The KGM-g-AH8 self-assembled into spherical nano-micelles (107.6±11.6nm) in an aqueous medium, and presented high curcumin loading capacity as well as good physical stability in 28 days. The in vitro curcumin release behaviors proved the controlled release property and the endosomal/lysosomal pH response of KGM-g-AH8 micelles. The cytotoxicity and cellular uptake studies were also investigated to exhibit the intracellular pH-sensitivity, safety and biocompatibility of KGM-g-AH8 micelles. This research focuses on the feasibility of KGM-based micelles to be extrapolated as promising strategies for cancer therapy and offers new potential options for intracellular drug delivery.

Abstract
With rapid development of nanotechnology and nanomaterials, nanosafety has attracted wide attention in all fields related to nanotechnology. As well known, a grand challenge in nanomaterial applications is their biocompatibility. It is urgent to explore effective strategies to control the unintentional effects. Although many novel methods for the synthesis of biocompatible and biodegradable nanomaterials are reported, the control strategy of nanotoxicity remains in its infancy. It is urgent to review the archived strategies for improving nanomaterial biocompatibility to clarify what we have done and where we should be. In this review, the achievements and challenges in nanomaterial structure/surface modifications and size/shape controls were analyzed. Moreover, the chemical and biological strategies to make nanomaterial more biocompatible and biodegradable were compared. Finally, the concerns that have not been studied well were prospected, involving unintended releases, life-cycle, occupational exposure and methodology.

Abstract
In this work, dextran, a polysaccharide with excellent biocompatibility, is applied as the "gatekeeper" to fabricate the pH-sensitive dextran/mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) based drug delivery systems for controlled intracellular drug release. Dextran encapsulating on the surface of MSNs is oxidized by NaIO4 to obtain three kinds of dextran dialdehydes (PADs), which are then coupled with MSNs via pH-sensitive hydrazone bond to fabricate three kinds of drug carriers. At pH 7.4, PADs block the pores to prevent premature release of anti-cancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). However, in the weakly acidic intracellular environment (pH∼5.5) the hydrazone can be ruptured; and the drug can be released from the carriers. The drug loading capacity, entrapment efficiency and release rates of the drug carriers can be adjusted by the amount of NaIO4 applied in the oxidation reaction. And from which DOX@MSN-NH-N=C-PAD10 is chosen as the most satisfactory one for the further in vitro cytotoxicity studies and cellular uptake studies. The results demonstrate that DOX@MSN-NH-N=C-PAD10 with an excellent pH-sensitivity can enter HeLa cells to release DOX intracellular due to the weakly acidic pH intracellular and kill the cells. In our opinion, the ingenious pH-sensitive drug delivery systems have application potentials for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Gambogic acid (GA), a natural compound from gamboge resin, has been introduced as a promising antitumor drug contributing to its broad spectrum of antitumor activity. However, the poor aqueous solubility and short half-life hinder its clinical application. Pluronic F68 (F68) is a well-known amphiphilic block copolymer consisting of hydrophobic propylene oxide units and hydrophilic ethylene oxide. Although F68 has an amphiphilic structure, its short propylene oxide segment limits its dilution stability and drug-loading capacity. To overcome this limitation, we modified F68 by conjugating linoleic acid, a hydrophobic fatty acid, to increase the hydrophilic-hydrophobic interaction and thus improve the stability of F68 nano-spheres. This F68-linoleic acid (F68-LA) conjugate was synthesized and was used to load GA to improve its anticancer effects. GA-loaded F68-LA nano-spheres were stable for 6 days, with a mean diameter of 159.3 nm and zeta potential of -23.2 mV. The entrapment efficiency of GA in F68-LA nano-spheres was as high as 92.0%. Furthermore, F68-LA/GA nano-spheres exhibited an enhanced cytotoxic activity and proapoptotic effect against human ovarian cancer A2780 cells, compared with free GA. Our results showed that the F68-LA/GA nano-spheres might be a promising cancer-targeted drug delivery system in ovarian cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the conjugation of the humanized monoclonal antibody nimotuzumab with cisplatin-loaded liposomes and the in vitro evaluation of its affinity for tumor cells. The conjugation procedure was performed through derivatization of nimotuzumab with N-succinimidyl S-acetylthioacetate (SATA) followed by a covalent attachment with maleimide groups at the end of PEG-DSPE chains located at the membrane of pre-formed liposomes. Confocal microscopy was performed to evaluate the immunoliposome affinity for EGFR antigens from human epidermoid carcinoma (A-431) and normal lung (MRC-5) cell lines. Results showed that the procedures implemented in this work do not affect the capability of the nimotuzumab-immunoliposomes to recognize the tumor cells, which overexpress the EGFR antigens.

This study introduces a new type of uniform liposome-analogous vesicle with a highly stable shell structure in which water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion drops fabricated in a capillary-based microfluidic device are used as templates. The vesicles developed in this work consist of a poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel core surrounded by a polyurethane (PU) film between 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) layers. Subjecting the double emulsion templates to UV irradiation leads to the formation of a PU elastomer film between the DPPC layers. The presence of a thin PU film sandwiched between the DPPC layers is confirmed by confocal laser microscopy. The thicknesses of the PU films are measured to be approximately ∼4μm. Further study reveals the incorporation of the PU film between the DPPC layers remarkably improves the shell impermeability. Our vesicle system is expected to be useful for regulating the permeation of small molecules through lipid-based vesicular films.

Abstract
Metal ion-assisted drug loading model, in which metal ion was used to modify the microstructure of lipid layer, has been developed to improve drug loading efficiency of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). The microstructure and properties of metal ion-assisted cisplatin-loading SLNs were investigated by infra-red spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and zetasizer. The reactions of hydrogenated soybean lecithin with Zn(2+), Cu(2+), Mn(2+ )and Mg(2+ )have been detected; the mechanism for higher drug encapsulation efficiency (EE) has been investigated. In metal ion introduction SLNs, the compact degree of the lipid molecules was increased due to the electrostatic interaction between metal ions and phospholipid acyl and choline polarity groups, which result in increasing of drug EE. Meanwhile, these electrostatic interactions slowed the releasing rate of encapsulated drug. The study of cytotoxic activity in vitro indicated that the cell cytotoxicity of metal ions introduction SLNs depended on both cell uptake of SLNs and drug releasing from SLNs.

Abstract
The present study aimed to prepare cisplatin (CDDP)-loaded magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), which target folate receptors via a pH-sensitive release system (FA‑PEG‑NH‑N=MNPs‑CDDP). This is of interest for the development of intelligent drug delivery systems that target tumors of the head and neck. The chemical coprecipitation method was used to prepare ferroferric oxide MNPs. These were modified with aldehyde sodium alginate complexed with the chemotherapeutic agent, CDDP on the surface of the nanoparticles. Double hydrazine‑poly(ethylene glycol; PEG) was also prepared by attaching the carboxyl group of hydrazine‑folate on one side of the double hydrazine‑PEG, obtaining folate‑hydrazine‑PEG‑diazenyl. This binds the aldehyde group of sodium alginic acid on the MNP to enclose CDDP, in order that it is sequestered within the carrier. This method obtained a pH‑sensitive, FA‑modified CDDP‑loaded MNP (FA‑PEG‑NH‑N=MNPs‑CDDP), which acts as an intelligent tumor targeting drug delivery system. The mean size of the MNPs was ~10.2±1.5 nm, the mean hydrodynamic diameter detected by laser particle sizing instruments was 176.6±1.1 nm, and the ζ‑potential was ‑20.91±1.76 mV. The CDDP content was 0.773 mg/ml, the iron content was ~1.908 mg/ml and the maximum saturation magnetization was 16.3±0.2 emu/g. The current study produced a pH‑sensitive FA‑modified CDDP‑loaded MNP that is stable and exhibits magnetic responsiveness, which releases CDDP in a low pH environment.

Abstract
PURPOSE It is necessary for local anesthetics to pass through the stratum corneum to provide rapid pain relief. Many techniques have been reported to enhance intradermal penetration of local anesthetics such as vesicular lipid carriers. Ethosomes are lipid vesicles containing phospholipids, ethanol at relatively high concentration. We hypothesized that synergistic effects of phospholipids and high concentration of ethanol in formulation could accelerate penetration of nanoethosomes in deep layers of skin. METHODS Lidocaine-loaded nanoethosomes were prepared and characterized by size and zeta analyzer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Furthermore, encapsulation efficiency (EE), loading capacity (LC), and skin penetration capability were evaluated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. RESULTS results showed that the particle size, zeta potential, EE and LC of optimum formulation were 105.4 ± 7.9 nm, -33.6 ± 2.4 mV, 40.14 ± 2.5 %, and 8.02 ± 0.71 respectively. SEM results confirmed the non-aggregated nano-scale size of prepared nanoethosomes. Particle size of ethosomes and EE of Lidocaine were depended on the phospholipid and ethanol concentrations. XRD results demonstrated the drug encapsulation in amorphous status interpreting the achieved high drug EE and LC values. In vitro and in vivo assays confirmed the appropriate skin penetration of Lidocaine with the aid of nanoethosomes and existence of deposition of nanoethosomes in deep skin layers, respectively. CONCLUSION The developed nanoethosomes are proposed as a suitable carrier for topical delivery of anesthetics such as Lidocaine.

Abstract
Bioavailability of baicalin (BAI), an example of traditional Chinese medicine, has been modified by loading into liposome. Several liposome systems of different composition i.e., lipid/cholesterol (L), long-circulating stealth liposome (L-PEG) and folate receptor (FR)-targeted liposome (L-FA) have been used as the drug carrier for BAI. The obtained liposomes were around 80 nm in diameter with proper zeta potentials about -25 mV and sufficient physical stability in 3 months. The entrapment efficiency and loading efficiency of BAI in the liposomes were 41.0-46.4% and 8.8-10.0%, respectively. The morphology details of BAI lipsosome systems i.e., formation of small unilamellar vesicles, have been determined by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). In vitro cytotoxicity of BAI liposomes against HeLa cells was evaluated by MTT assay. BAI loaded FR-targeted liposomes showed higher cytotoxicity and cellular uptake compared with non-targeted liposomes. The results suggested that L-FA-BAI could enhance anti-tumor efficiency and should be an effective FR-targeted carrier system for BAI delivery.

Abstract
PURPOSE In order to improve formulation of targeting chemotherapy, cisplatin-loaded magnetic solid lipid nanoparticles (MSLNs) were prepared. In present study, the deliberate loading of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNs) into cisplatin SLNs was developed. METHODS SLNs were produced by film scattering ultrasonic technique. The effects of two different loading procedures of MNs on the microstructure and physicochemical properties of MSLNs were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), zetasizer, infrared spectroscopy (IR), and fluorescence spectroscopy. In vitro drug release and cytotoxicity against human cervical carcinoma SiHa cells, in vivo tumor cell uptake and target tissue distribution of MSLNs under external magnetic field were investigated. RESULTS The encapsulation efficiency of cisplatin and the content of MNs in procedure I SLNs were 69.20 ± 4.5% and 2.16 ± 0.53 mg/mL, respectively, which were higher than those of procedure II MSLNs. In procedure I, the MNs, which were combined with lipids during film formation, distributed in the middle of the lipid layer in SLNs. Differently, in procedure II, the MNs and cisplatin were contained in an interior compartment in SLNs, resulting from mixing with drugs during hydration of lipid film. The procedure I MSLNs had higher cytotoxicity than procedure II MSLNs or free cisplatin. With in vivo intratumoral administration, cisplatin concentration in the tumor tissue was maintained at higher level for MSLNs than that for free cisplatin, especially under external magnetic field. CONCLUSIONS Procedure I, the developed deliberate MNs loading method, was superior over procedure II in cisplatin encapsulation efficiency, MNs content and cell cytotoxicity.

Abstract
In this study, two cholesterol derivatives, (4-cholesterocarbonyl-4'-(N,N,N-triethylamine butyloxyl bromide) azobenzene (CAB) and 4-cholesterocarbonyl-4'-(N,N-diethylamine butyloxyl) azobenzene (ACB), one of which is positively charged while the other is neutral, were synthesized and incorporated with phospholipids and cholesterol to form doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded liposomes. PEGylation was achieved by including 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatiylethanol-amine-N-[methoxy-(polyethylene glycol)-2000 (DSPE-PEG2000). Our results showed that PEGylated liposomes displayed significantly improved stability and the drug leakage was decreased compared to the non-PEGylated ones in vitro. The in vivo study with rats also revealed that the pharmacokinetics and circulation half-life of DOX were significantly improved when liposomes were PEGylated (p < 0.05). In particular, the neutral cholesterol derivative ACB played some role in improving liposomes' stability in systemic circulation compared to the conventional PC liposome and the positively charged CAB liposome, with or without PEGylation. In addition, in the case of local drug delivery, the positively charged PEG-liposome not only delivered much more of the drug into the rats' retinas (p < 0.001), but also maintained much longer drug retention time compared to the neutral PEGylated liposomes.

Abstract
We reported the development of multifunctional liposomes as a dual-modality probe to facilitate targeted magnetic resonance and fluorescent imaging of bone metastasis from advanced cancer. Multifunctional liposomes consisted of liposomes as a carrier, hydrophobic CdSe QDs in phospholipid bilayer, hydrophilic iron oxide nanoparticles in interior vesicle, lipid-PEG derivative on the surface and cRGDyk peptide conjugated to distal ends of lipid-PEG derivative. Excellent stability, effective detection signal, low toxicity, high resistance to phagocytosis by macrophages and good specificity to tumor of multifunctional liposomes were confirmed by in vitro characterization. The in vivo results demonstrated that multifunctional liposomes accumulated mainly in tumor and liver, indicating that targeted dual-modality imaging was achieved, and the results from two kinds of modalities were consistent and complementary. These findings provide a helpful strategy for detection of bone metastases in a more effective manner for initiation of appropriate therapy.

Abstract
A lipid-cisplatin conjugate was synthesized for super-molecular assembly with lipids to form a new generation of liposomal cisplatin formulation, lipocisplatin. In vitro, lipocisplatin has higher efficacy in human ovarian cancer A2780 and human breast cancer MCF-7 with the murine breast cancer cell line 4T1 which is currently an established model for stage IV breast cancer as the most sensitive strain. Moreover, lipocisplatin demonstrated a greater MTD value and relatively longer blood circulation as compared to cisplatin. Lipocisplatin preferentially accumulate drugs to the tumor site, resulting in a better tumor inhibition efficacy. Moreover, lipocisplatin exceeds the size cutoff for kidney clearance, hence it bypasses the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin which is a major curse of one of the most efficient anticancer drugs nowadays in clinic. The results here indicated lipocisplatin may be translated into a new generation of liposomal based cisplatin drug in clinic.

Inauhzin sensitizes p53-dependent cytotoxicity and tumor suppression of chemotherapeutic agents. Neoplasia 2013; 15:523-34.

Abstract
Toxicity and chemoresistance are two major issues to hamper the success of current standard tumor chemotherapy. Combined therapy of agents with different mechanisms of action is a feasible and effective means to minimize the side effects and avoid the resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs while improving the antitumor effects. As the most essential tumor suppressor, p53 or its pathway has been an attractive target to develop a new type of molecule-targeting anticancer therapy. Recently, we identified a small molecule, Inauhzin (INZ), which can specifically activate p53 by inducing its deacetylation. In this study, we tested if combination with INZ could sensitize tumor cells to the current chemotherapeutic drugs, cisplatin (CIS) and doxorubicin (DOX). We found that compared with any single treatment, combination of lower doses of INZ and CIS or DOX significantly promoted apoptosis and cell growth inhibition in human non-small lung cancer and colon cancer cell lines in a p53-dependent fashion. This cooperative effect between INZ and CIS on tumor suppression was also confirmed in a xenograft tumor model. Therefore, this study suggests that specifically targeting the p53 pathway could enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents and markedly reduce the doses of the chemotherapy, possibly decreasing its adverse side effects.

Abstract
Liposomes are used as a delivery vehicle for drug molecules and imaging agents. The major impetus in their biomedical applications comes from the ability to prolong their circulation half-life after administration. Conventional liposomes are easily recognized by the mononuclear phagocyte system and are rapidly cleared from the blood stream. Modification of the liposomal surface with hydrophilic polymers delays the elimination process by endowing them with stealth properties. In recent times, the development of various materials for surface engineering of liposomes and other nanomaterials has made remarkable progress. Poly(ethylene glycol)-linked phospholipids (PEG-PLs) are the best representatives of such materials. Although PEG-PLs have served the formulation scientists amazingly well, closer scrutiny has uncovered a few shortcomings, especially pertaining to immunogenicity and pharmaceutical characteristics (drug loading, targeting, etc.) of PEG. On the other hand, researchers have also begun questioning the biological behavior of the phospholipid portion in PEG-PLs. Consequently, stealth lipopolymers consisting of non-phospholipids and PEG-alternatives are being developed. These novel lipopolymers offer the potential advantages of structural versatility, reduced complement activation, greater stability, flexible handling and storage procedures and low cost. In this article, we review the materials available as alternatives to PEG and PEG-lipopolymers for effective surface modification of liposomes.

Abstract
Cholesterol is a molecule with many tasks in nature but also a long history in science. This feature article highlights the contribution of this small compound to bionanotechnology. We discuss relevant chemical aspects in this context followed by an overview of its self-assembly capabilities both as a free molecule and when conjugated to a polymer. Further, cholesterol in the context of liposomes is reviewed and its impact ranging from biosensing to drug delivery is outlined. Cholesterol is and will be an indispensable player in bionanotechnology, contributing to the progress of this potent field of research.

Abstract
Cholesterol plays a critical role in liposome composition. It has great impact on the behavior of liposome in vitro and in vivo. In order to verify the possible effects from cholesterol charge, surface shielding and chemical nature, two catalogs of liposomes with charged and PEGylated cholesterols were synthesized. Anionic liposomes (AL) and cationic liposomes (CL) were prepared, with charges from hemisuccinate and lysine in cholesterol derivatives, respectively. Characteristics of different formulated liposomes were investigated after doxorubicin encapsulation, using neutral liposomes (NL) as control. Results showed that after PEGylation, AL and CL liposomes displayed prolonged retention release profile, while kept similar size distribution, encapsulation efficiency, low cytotoxicity and hemolysis comparing with NL. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry experiments confirmed the significantly higher cell uptake from AL and CL vesicles than the NL in mouse breast carcinoma and melanoma cells, human epithelial carcinoma and hepatoma cells. It was in accordance with our corresponding cellular mortality studies of DOX-loaded liposomes. The in vivo anti-tumor effect experiments from charged liposomes also presented much higher tumor inhibition effect (70% vs 45%, p < 0.05) than NL liposomes. This is the first time reporting anti-cancer effect from charged cholesterol liposome with/without PEGylation. It may give deeper understanding on the liposome formulation which is critical for liposome associated drug research and development.
