Abstract
Ideal drug delivery system is designed to accurately deliver the drug to its intended site. The development of conjugate drug delivery system introduces a novel pathway to precise drug delivery with advantages over traditional methods. The core of a conjugate drug delivery system comprises a molecule with two functional components, bounded by a linker structure. One component is responsible for delivering or stabilizing the conjugate, while the other is used to provide the therapeutic or diagnostic effects of the bioactivity. Conjugate drug delivery system improves patient health by maintaining the structural stability of drugs in molecular form, delivering therapeutics or diagnostic material to the target site, minimising off-target accumulation and promoting patient compliance. This system includes various types of drug conjugates that modulate drug pharmacokinetics, stability, absorption, and exposure in lesions and healthy tissues. In this review, we focus on the key characteristics and recent advances of various conjugate drug delivery systems and explore their mechanisms. We also point out the current challenges faced by conjugate drug delivery system and look forward to the future prospects.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), a common and disabling degenerative joint disease, affects millions of people worldwide and imposes a considerable burden on patients and society due to its high prevalence and economic costs. The pathogenesis of OA is closely related to the progressive degradation of articular cartilage and the accompany inflammation; however, articular cartilage itself cannot heal and modulate the inflammation due to the lack of nerves, blood vessels, and lymph-vessels. Therefore, reliable and effective methods to treat OA remain highly desired. Local administration of drugs or bioactive materials by intra-articular injection of the delivery system represents a promising approach to treat OA, especially considering the prolonged joint retention, cartilage or chondrocytes targeting, and stimuli-responsive release to achieve precision OA therapy. This article summarizes and discusses the advances in the currently used delivery systems (nanoparticle, hydrogel, liposome, and microsphere) and then focuses on their applications in OA treatment from the perspective of endogenous stimulus (redox reactions, pH, enzymes, and temperature) and exogenous stimulus (near-infrared, magnetic, and ultrasound)-responsive release. Finally, the challenges and potential future directions for the development of nano-delivery systems are summarized.

Abstract
Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death, with high incidence and poor treatment effect. In recent years, polysaccharides have attracted more and more attention in the research field of anti-liver cancer because of their high efficiency, low toxicity, good biocompatibility, wide sources and low cost. Polysaccharides have been proven to have good anti-liver cancer activity. In this paper, the pathways and molecular mechanisms of polysaccharides against liver cancer were reviewed in detail. Polysaccharides exert anti-liver cancer activity by blocking cell cycle, inducing apoptosis, regulating immunity, inhibiting cancer cell metastasis, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and so on. The primary structure and chain conformation of polysaccharides have an important influence on their anti-liver cancer activity. Structural modification enhanced the anti-liver cancer activity of polysaccharides. Polysaccharides have good attenuated and synergistic effects on chemotherapy drugs. Polysaccharides can be used as functional carriers to construct intelligent nano drug delivery systems (DDS) targeting liver cancer. This review can provide theoretical support for the further development and application of polysaccharides in the field of anti-liver cancer, and provide theoretical reference and clues for relevant researchers in food, nutrition, medicine and other fields.

Abstract
The current research endeavour aimed to synthesize ferulic acid grafted tamarind gum/guar gum (FA-g-TG/GG) based powders as wound dressings, which could form in situ gels upon contact with wound exudates. In this context, variable amounts of FA were initially grafted with TG via the Steglich esterification reaction protocol and the resulting conjugates were subsequently amalgamated with GG and lyophilized to produce dry powders (F-1 - -F-3) with average particle size within 5.10-5.54 μm and average angle of repose ∼30°. These powders were structurally characterized with 1H NMR, FTIR, DSC, TGA, XRD and SEM analyses. Pristine TG, FA-g-TG and FA-g-TG/GG powders (F-2) revealed their distinct morphological structures and variable negative zeta potential values (-11.06 mV-25.50 mV). Among various formulation (F-1-F-3), F-2 demonstrated an acceptable powder-to-gel conversion time (within 20 min), suitable water vapour transmission rates (WVTR, 2564.94 ± 32.47 g/m2/day) and excellent water retention abilities and swelling profiles (4559.00 ± 41.57 %) in wound fluid. The powders were cytocompatible and conferred antioxidant activities. The powders also displayed fibroblast cell proliferation, migration and adhesion properties, implying their wound-healing potentials. Thus, the developed in situ gel-forming powders could be employed as promising dressings for wound management.

Abstract
In recent years, a growing demand for biomaterials has been observed, particularly for applications in bone regenerative medicine. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) aims to develop innovative materials and strategies for repairing and regenerating bone defects and injuries. Polysaccharides, due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability as well as bioactivity, have emerged as promising candidates for scaffolds or composite systems in BTE. Polymers combined with bioactive ceramics can support osteointegration. Calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics can be a broad choice as an inorganic phase that stimulates the formation of new apatite layers. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of composite systems based on selected polysaccharides used in bone tissue engineering, highlighting their synthesis, properties and applications. Moreover, the applicability of the produced biocomposites has been analyzed, as well as new trends in modifying biomaterials and endowing them with new functionalizations. The effects of these composites on the mechanical properties, biocompatibility and osteoconductivity were critically analyzed. This article summarizes the latest manufacturing methods as well as new developments in polysaccharide-based biomaterials for bone and cartilage regeneration applications.

Development of an Injectable Biphasic Hyaluronic Acid-Based Hydrogel With Stress Relaxation Properties for Cartilage Regeneration. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2400043. [PMID: 38569577 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202400043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Biomimetic stress-relaxing hydrogels with reversible crosslinks attract significant attention for stem cell tissue regeneration compared with elastic hydrogels. However, stress-relaxing hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogels fabricated using conventional technologies lack stability, biocompatibility, and mechanical tunability. Here, it is aimed to address these challenges by incorporating calcium or phosphate components into the HA backbone, which allows reversible crosslinking of HA with alginate to form interpenetrating networks, offering stability and mechanical tunability for mimicking cartilage. Diverse stress-relaxing hydrogels (τ1/2; SR50, 60-2000 s) are successfully prepared at ≈3 kPa stiffness with self-healing and shear-thinning abilities, favoring hydrogel injection. In vitro cell experiments with RNA sequencing analysis demonstrate that hydrogels tune chondrogenesis in a biphasic manner (hyaline or calcified) depending on the stress-relaxation properties and phosphate components. In vivo studies confirm the potential for biphasic chondrogenesis. These results indicate that the proposed stress-relaxing HA-based hydrogel with biphasic chondrogenesis (hyaline or calcified) is a promising material for cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a novel and promising approach in targeted therapy, uniting the specificity of antibodies that recognize specific antigens with payloads, all connected by the stable linker. These conjugates combine the best targeted and cytotoxic therapies, offering the killing effect of precisely targeting specific antigens and the potent cell-killing power of small molecule drugs. The targeted approach minimizes the off-target toxicities associated with the payloads and broadens the therapeutic window, enhancing the efficacy and safety profile of cancer treatments. Within precision oncology, ADCs have garnered significant attention as a cutting-edge research area and have been approved to treat a range of malignant tumors. Correspondingly, the issue of resistance to ADCs has gradually come to the fore. Any dysfunction in the steps leading to the ADCs' action within tumor cells can lead to the development of resistance. A deeper understanding of resistance mechanisms may be crucial for developing novel ADCs and exploring combination therapy strategies, which could further enhance the clinical efficacy of ADCs in cancer treatment. This review outlines the brief historical development and mechanism of ADCs and discusses the impact of their key components on the activity of ADCs. Furthermore, it provides a detailed account of the application of ADCs with various target antigens in cancer therapy, the categorization of potential resistance mechanisms, and the current state of combination therapies. Looking forward, breakthroughs in overcoming technical barriers, selecting differentiated target antigens, and enhancing resistance management and combination therapy strategies will broaden the therapeutic indications for ADCs. These progresses are anticipated to advance cancer treatment and yield benefits for patients.

Abstract
The present study reports the synthesis of micellar conjugates, wherein curcumin (Cur), a bioactive compound with poor bioavailability, was covalently bonded to a bacterial exopolysaccharide (EPS). These conjugates were synthesized by utilizing succinic acid that linked Cur to the pyranosyl moiety of the EPS. The Cur-EPS conjugates appeared as spherical micelles in aqueous solution and were found to have an average hydrodynamic diameter of 254 ± 2.7 nm. The micellar conjugates showed superior stability than Cur as evident from their negative surface charge (-27 ± 1.8 mV) and low polydispersity index (PDI) (0.33 ± 0.04). The in vitro studies on release kinetics helped elucidate the pH-responsive characteristics of the Cur-EPS conjugate, as 87.50 ± 1.45 % of Cur was released at an acidic pH of 5.6, in contrast to 30.15 ± 2.61 % at systemic pH of 7.4 at 150 h. The conjugates were hemocompatible and exhibited cytotoxic effect against the osteosarcoma cell line (MG-63) after 48 h treatment. They also demonstrated superior antibacterial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant activities in comparison to free Cur. Therefore, the Cur-EPS conjugates have potential pharmaceutical applications as therapeutic biomaterial that can be applied as a drug delivery system.

Abstract
Lipophilic compounds, such as flavors, fat-soluble vitamins, and hydrophobic nutrients possess vital properties including antioxidant effects, functional attributes, and nutritional value that can improve human health. However, their susceptibility to environmental factors including heat, pH changes, and ionic strength encountered during food processing poses significant challenges. To address these issues, diverse bioactive delivery systems have been developed. This review explores delivery systems designed to optimize the stability and suitability of lipophilic bioactive compounds in food processing. Extensive literature analysis reveals that tailoring delivery systems with various biopolymers can protect bioactives through steric hindrance and formation of thick interfacial layers on the emulsion surfaces. Thus, the access of oxygen, prooxidants, and free radicals at the emulsion interface could be inhibited, resulting in enhanced processing suitability of bioactives as well as chemical stability under diverse environmental conditions. The insights presented in this review hold immense value for the food and beverage industries.

Singh D, Sharma Y, Dheer D, Shankar R. Stimuli responsiveness of recent biomacromolecular systems (concept to market): A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129901. [PMID: 38316328 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
Stimuli responsive delivery systems, also known as smart/intelligent drug delivery systems, are specialized delivery vehicles designed to provide spatiotemporal control over drug release at target sites in various diseased conditions, including tumor, inflammation and many others. Recent advances in the design and development of a wide variety of stimuli-responsive (pH, redox, enzyme, temperature) materials have resulted in their widespread use in drug delivery and tissue engineering. The aim of this review is to provide an insight of recent nanoparticulate drug delivery systems including polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, lipid-based nanoparticles and the design of new polymer-drug conjugates (PDCs), with a major emphasis on natural along with synthetic commercial polymers used in their construction. Special focus has been placed on stimuli-responsive polymeric materials, their preparation methods, and the design of novel single and multiple stimuli-responsive materials that can provide controlled drug release in response a specific stimulus. These stimuli-sensitive drug nanoparticulate systems have exhibited varying degrees of substitution with enhanced in vitro/in vivo release. However, in an attempt to further increase drug release, new dual and multi-stimuli based natural polymeric nanocarriers have been investigated which respond to a mixture of two or more signals and are awaiting clinical trials. The translation of biopolymeric directed stimuli-sensitive drug delivery systems in clinic demands a thorough knowledge of its mechanism and drug release pattern in order to produce affordable and patient friendly products.

Abstract
Kidney disease is one of the most life-threatening health problems, affecting millions of people in the world. Commonly used steroids and immunosuppressants often fall exceptionally short of outcomes with inescapable systemic toxicity. With the booming research in nanobiotechnology, stimuli-responsive nanoplatform has come an appealing therapeutic strategy for kidney disease. Endogenous stimuli-responsive materials have shown profuse promise owing to their enhanced spatiotemporal control and precise to the location of the lesion. This review focuses on recent advances stimuli-responsive drug delivery nano-architectonics for kidney disease. First, a brief introduction of pathogenesis of kidney disease and pathological microenvironment were provided. Then, various endogenous stimulus involved in drug delivery nanoplatforms including pH, ROS, enzymes, and glucose were categorized based on the pathological mechanisms of kidney disease. Next, we separately summarized literature examples of endogenous stimuli-responsive nanomaterials, and outlined the design strategies and response mechanisms. Finally, the paper was concluded by discussing remaining challenges and future perspectives of endogenous stimuli-responsive drug delivery nanoplatform for expediting the speed of development and clinical applications.

Abstract
Camptothecin (CPT) is a cytotoxic alkaloid that attenuates the replication of cancer cells via blocking DNA topoisomerase 1. Despite its encouraging and wide-spectrum antitumour activity, its application is significantly restricted owing to its instability, low solubility, significant toxicity, and acquired tumour cell resistance. This has resulted in the development of many CPT-based therapeutic agents, especially CPT-based nanomedicines, with improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles. Specifically, smart CPT-based prodrug nanomedicines with stimuli-responsive release capacity have been extensively explored owing to the advantages such as high drug loading, improved stability, and decreased potential toxicity caused by the carrier materials in comparison with normal nanodrugs and traditional delivery systems. In this review, the potential strategies and applications of CPT-based nanoprodrugs for enhanced CPT delivery toward cancer cells are summarized. We appraise in detail the chemical structures and release mechanisms of these nanoprodrugs and guide materials chemists to develop more powerful nanomedicines that have real clinical therapeutic capacities.
