Int J Pharm 2024; 654:123999. [PMID: 38490403 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.123999] [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: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CC) is one of the most predominant malignancies in the world, with the current treatment regimen consisting of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Chemotherapeutic drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), have gained popularity as first-line antineoplastic agents against CC but have several drawbacks, including variable absorption through the gastrointestinal tract, inconsistent liver metabolism, short half-life, toxicological reactions in several organ systems, and others. Therefore, herein, we develop chitosan-coated zinc-substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CZCFNPs) for the pH-sensitive (triggered by chitosan degradation within acidic organelles of cells) and sustained delivery of 5-FU in CC cells in vitro. Additionally, the developed nanoplatform served as an excellent exogenous optical coherence tomography (OCT) contrast agent, enabling a significant improvement in the OCT image contrast in a CC tissue phantom model with a biomimetic microvasculature. Further, this study opens up new possibilities for using OCT for the non-invasive monitoring and/or optimization of magnetic targeting capabilities, as well as real-time tracking of magnetic nanoparticle-based therapeutic platforms for biomedical applications. Overall, the current study demonstrates the development of a CZCFNP-based theranostic platform capable of serving as a reliable drug delivery system as well as a superior OCT exogenous contrast agent for tissue imaging.

Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was utilized to functionalize the surface of zinc ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by the hydrothermal process in order to prevent aggregation and improve the biocompatibility of the NPs for the proposed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agent. Various spectroscopy techniques were used to examine the NPs' structure, size, morphology, and magnetic properties. The NPs had a cubic spinel structure with an average size of 8 nm. The formations of the spinel ferrite and the PEG coating band at the ranges of 300-600 and 800-2000 cm-1, respectively, were validated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The NPs were spherical in shape, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy with mapping confirmed the presence of zinc, iron, and oxygen in the samples. The results of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed an average size of 14 nm and increased stability after PEG coating. The decrease in zeta potential from -24.5 to -36.5 mV confirmed the PEG coating on the surface of the NPs. A high saturation magnetization of ∼50 emu/g, measured by vibration sample magnetometer, indicated the magnetic potential of NPs for biomedical applications. An MTT assay was used to examine the cytotoxicity and viability of human normal skin cells (HSF 1184) exposed to zinc ferrite and PEG@Zn ferrite NPs at various concentrations. After 24 h of treatment, negligible cytotoxicity of PEG-coated NPs was observed at high concentrations. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested that PEG@Zn ferrite NPs are a unique and perfectly suited contrast agent for T2-weighted MRI and can successfully enhance the image contrast.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) holds promise for the early clinical diagnosis of various diseases, but most clinical MR techniques require the use of a contrast medium. Several nanomaterial (NM) mediated contrast agents (CAs) are widely used as T1- and T2-based MR contrast agents for clinical and non-clinical applications. Unfortunately, most NM-based CAs are toxic or non-biocompatible, restricting their practical/clinical applications. Therefore, the development of nontoxic and biocompatible CAs for clinical MRI diagnosis is highly desired. To this end, several biocompatible and biomimetic strategies have been developed to offer long blood circulation time, significant biocompatibility, in vivo biodistribution and high contrast ability for efficient imaging. However, detailed review reports on biocompatible NMs, specifically for MR imaging have not yet been summarized. Thus, in the present review we summarize various surface coating strategies (such as polymers, proteins, cell membranes, etc.) to achieve biocompatible NPs, providing a detailed discussion of advances and future prospects for safe MRI imaging.

Abstract
Cancer is among the leading causes of mortality globally, with nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. The emergence of nanotechnology has revolutionised treatment strategies in medicine, with rigorous research focusing on designing multi-functional nanoparticles (NPs) that are biocompatible, non-toxic, and target-specific. Iron-oxide-based NPs have been successfully employed in theranostics as imaging agents and drug delivery vehicles for anti-cancer treatment. Substituted iron-oxides (MFe2O4) have emerged as potential nanocarriers due to their unique and attractive properties such as size and magnetic tunability, ease of synthesis, and manipulatable properties. Current research explores their potential use in hyperthermia and as drug delivery vehicles for cancer therapy. Significantly, there are considerations in applying iron-oxide-based NPs for enhanced biocompatibility, biodegradability, colloidal stability, lowered toxicity, and more efficient and targeted delivery. This review covers iron-oxide-based NPs in cancer therapy, focusing on recent research advances in the use of ferrites. Methods for the synthesis of cubic spinel ferrites and the requirements for their considerations as potential nanocarriers in cancer therapy are discussed. The review highlights surface modifications, where functionalisation with specific biomolecules can deliver better efficiency. Finally, the challenges and solutions for the use of ferrites in cancer therapy are summarised.

Abstract
Background:
Biomedical applications of Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNPs) are creating a major impact on
disease diagnosis and nanomedicine or a combined platform called theranostics. A significant progress has been
made to engineer novel and hybrid MNPs for their multifunctional modalities such as imaging, biosensors, chemotherapeutic
or photothermal and antimicrobial agents. MNPs are successfully applied in biomedical applications
due to their unique and tunable properties such as superparamagnetism, stability, and biocompatibility. Approval of
ferumoxytol (feraheme) for MRI and the fact that several Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) are
currently undergoing clinical trials have paved a path for future MNPs formulations. Intensive research is being
carried out in designing and developing novel nanohybrids for multiple applications in nanomedicine.
Objective:
The objective of the present review is to summarize recent developments of MNPs in imaging modalities
like MRI, CT, PET and PA, biosensors and nanomedicine including their role in targeting and drug delivery. Relevant
theory and examples of the use of MNPs in these applications have been cited and discussed to create a thorough
understanding of the developments in this field.
Conclusion:
MNPs have found widespread use as contrast agents in imaging modalities, as tools for bio-sensing, and
as therapeutic and theranostics agents. Multiple formulations of MNPs are in clinical testing and may be accepted in
clinical settings in near future.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are very attractive especially for biomedical applications, among which, iron oxide nanoparticles have received substantial attention in the past decade due to the elemental composition that makes them biocompatible and degradable. However recently, other magnetic nanomaterials such as spinel ferrites that can provide improved magnetic properties such as coercivity and anisotropy without compromising on inherent advantages of iron oxide nanoparticles are being researched for better applicability of MNPs. Among various spinel ferrites, cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the most explored MNPs. Therefore, the intention of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of CoFe2O4 NPs and their inherent properties that make them exceptional candidates, different synthesis methods that influence their properties, and applications of CoFe2O4 NPs and their relevant applications that have been considered in biotechnology and bioengineering.

Abstract
Heteroatom-doped carbon dots (C-dots) have captured widespread research interest owing to high fluorescence and biocompatibility for multimodal bioimaging applications. Here, we exemplify a rapid, facile synthesis of ethylenediamine (EDA)-functionalized transition metal ion (Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, and Ni2+)-doped C-dots via one-pot microwave (MW)-assisted pyrolysis at 800 W within 6 min using Citrus limon (lemon) extract as a carbon source. During MW pyrolysis, the precursor extract undergoes simultaneous carbonization and doping of metal ions onto C-dot surfaces in the presence of EDA. The EDA-functionalized transition metal ion-doped C-dots (i.e., Mn/C, Fe/C, Co/C, and Ni/C-dots) are collectively termed as TMCDs. The water-soluble TMCDs exhibited a size of 3.2 ± 0.485 nm and were enriched with amino and oxo functionalities and corresponding metal-oxide traces on the surfaces, as revealed from Fourier transfer infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. Interestingly, TMCDs demonstrated excitation-wavelength-dependent emission with brighter photoluminescence (PL) at 460 nm. Compared to pristine C-dots with a PL quantum yield (QY) of 48.31% and a fluorescence lifetime of 3.6 ns, the synthesized Mn/C, Fe/C, Co/C, and Ni/C-dots exhibited PL QY values of 35.71, 41.72, 75.07, and 50.84% as well as enhanced fluorescence lifetimes (τav) of 9.4, 8.6, 9.2, and 8.9 ns, respectively. The TMCDs significantly exhibited enhanced biocompatibility in human colon cancer cells (SW480) for fluorescence bioimaging and showed ferromagnetic and superparamagnetic behavior with vibrant T1-contrast ability. Interestingly, the maximum longitudinal (r1) relaxivity of 0.341 mM-1 s-1 was observed for Mn/C-dots in comparison to that of 3.1-3.5 mM-1 s-1 of clinically used Gd-DTPA magnetic resonance (MR)-contrast agent in vitro (1.5 T). Similarly, the maximum longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of 0.356 mM-1 s-1 was observed for Ni/C-dots (1.5 T) with respect to 4.16 ± 0.02 mM-1 s-1 attained for Gd-DTPA in vivo (8.45 T). Thus, the rapid, energy-efficient MW-assisted pyrolysis presents lemon extract derived, EDA-functionalized TMCDs with enhanced PL and efficient T1 contrast as potential magneto-fluorescent nanoprobes for dual-modality bioimaging applications.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic γ-Fe2O3@SiO2@lisinopril (MNPs-Lisinopril) nanoparticles are T2 and T2* negative contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. In this work, we report the preparation of lisinopril-coated MNPs for the first time as new T2 and T2* negative contrast agent for in vitro and in vivo MRI imaging and demonstrate the potential it simultaneously for drug delivery system, diagnose the tumors and MRI contrast agent. Measurements on the relaxivities (r1, r2 and r2*) of the MNPs-Lisinopril were determined in deionized water (in vitro). Furthermore, after subcutaneous injection of the MNPs-Lisinopril into 4T1 (ATCC® CRL2539™) tumor in BALB/c mice, the relaxivities were determined by a 1.5 T MRI apparatus (in vivo). T2- and T2*-weighted MRI images of MNPs-Lisinopril showed that the MR signal intensity decreased significantly with increasing nanoparticle concentration in water. With measured r2 values up to 236.66 mM-1s -1, our MNPs-Lisinopril show better performance than commercial alternatives. Also we tested drug release of Lisinopril coated MNPs at two different pHs. The MNPs- Lisinopril is a pH-sensitive drug delivery system and releases different amounts of lisinopril from MNPs-Captopril in different pHs.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles have found application as MRI contrasting agents. Herein, chitosan thin films containing super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are evaluated in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To determine their contrasting capability, super-paramagnetic nanoparticles coated with citrate (SPIONs-cit) were synthesized. Then, chitosan thin films with different concentrations of SPIONs-cit were prepared and their MRI data (i.e., r 2 and r 2*) was evaluated in an aqueous medium. The synthesized SPIONs-cit and chitosan/SPIONs-cit films were characterized by FTIR, EDX, XRD as well as VSM with the morphology evaluated by SEM and AFM. The nanoparticle sizes and distribution confirmed well-defined nanoparticles and thin films formation along with high contrasting capability in MRI. Images revealed well-dispersed uniform nanoparticles, averaging 10 nm in size. SPIONs-cit's hydrodynamic size averaged 23 nm in diameter. The crystallinity obeyed a chitosan and SPIONs pattern. The in vitro cellular assay of thin films with a novel route was performed within Hek293 cell lines showing that thin films can be biocompatible.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is developing at a rapid pace with promises of a brilliant socio-economic future. The apprehensions of vivid future involvement with nanotechnology make nanoobjects ubiquitous in the macroscopic world of humans. Nanotechnology helps us to visualize the new mysterious horizons in engineering, sophisticated electronics, environmental remediation, biosensing, and nanomedicine. In all these hotspots, cobalt ferrite (CoFe) nanoparticles (NPs) are outstanding contestants because of their astonishing controllable physicochemical and magnetic properties with ease of synthesis methods. The extensive use of CoFe NPs may result in CoFe NPs easily penetrating the human body unintentionally by ingestion, inhalation, adsorption, etc. and intentionally being instilled into the human body during biomedical diagnostics and treatment. After being housed in the human body, it might induce oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, inflammation, apoptosis, and developmental, metabolic and hormonal abnormalities. In this review, we compiled the toxicity knowledge of CoFe NPs aimed to provide the safe usage of this breed of nanomaterials.

Abstract
In this work, novel hydroxyl-modified magnetite nanocarriers are introduced as efficient host for methotrexate conjugation. The modification was based on the Micheal type addition reaction between tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane and acrylamidopropyl functionalized, silica-coated magnetite nanoparticle. The chemical structure characterization was carried out by FT-IR and the organic content was determined by CHN analysis. The topography was studied by SEM, TEM, AFM. DLS was performed to show particles' mean diameter. Furthermore, the magnetite properties of modified particles were evaluated by VSM and the crystallinity was proved by XRD. To illustrate the efficiency of the modified particles, the anti-cancer drug methotrexate was conjugated to hydroxyl groups through estric bond formation. The controlled release activity of established nanoparticles was evaluated in simulated cellular fluid. Later, the anti-cancer behavior of drug conjugated nanoparticles was evaluated in vitro in MCF-7 cell line which showed enhanced toxicity after 48 h. Conclusively, the modified nanoparticles have remarked as powerful carrier to be applied as an anti-cancer agent.
