Abstract
Recent advances in the field of drug delivery have opened new avenues for the development of novel nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) in cancer therapy. Self-assembled nanoparticles (SANPs) based on tumour microenvironment have great advantages in improving antitumor effect, and pH-responsive SANPs prepared by the combination of pH-responsive nanomaterials and self-assembly technology can effectively improve the efficacy and reduce the systemic toxicity of antitumor drugs. In this review, we describe the characteristics of self-assembly and its driving force, the mechanism of pH-responsive NDDS, and the nanomaterials for pH-responsive SANPs type. A series of pH-responsive SANPs for tumour-targeted drug delivery are discussed, with an emphasis on the relation between structural features and theranostic performance.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica-based nanoparticles (MSNs) have gained rapid interest as a drug delivery system (DDS) and demonstrated their versatility in delivering drugs for the treatment of various cancers. However, the drug loading efficiency of MSNs is low and is usually improved by improving textural properties through complicated synthesis methods or by post synthesis modification of the surface that can result in the loss of surface area and modify its drug release properties. In this study, we report a direct single-step synthesis of MSNs with a unique egg-yolk core-shell morphology, large pore volume and a hydrophilic surface, decorated with nitrogen rich surface functionalities for increasing its drug loading capacity. This combination of excellent textural properties and surface functionalisation was achieved by a simple soft templating method using dual surfactants and the silica sources assisted by employing either triethylamine (TEA) or triethanolamine (TEO) as the hydrolysis agent. The morphology and well-ordered mesoporous structure can simply be tuned by changing the pH of the synthesis medium that affects the self-assembly mechanism of the micelles. HRTEM image of samples clearly revealed an egg-yolk core-shell morphology with a thin mesoporous silica shell. The optimised MSN samples synthesized at a pH of 11 using either TEA or TEO depicted a higher doxorubicin (Dox) loading capacity of 425 μg mg-1 and 481 μg mg-1 respectively, as compared to only 347 μg mg-1 for MSN samples due to the uniform distribution of nitrogen functionalities. The anticancer activity of Dox loaded MSNs evaluated in two different prostate cancer cell lines (PC-3 and LNCaP) showed a higher cytotoxicity of the drug loaded on optimised MSN samples as compared to pristine MSNs without affecting the cellular uptake of the particles. These results suggest that the unique single-step synthesis and functionalisation method resulted in successfully achieving higher drug loading in egg-yolk core-shell nitrogen functionalised MSNs and could be implemented as an effective carrier of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Macrophage cell membrane-camouflaged nanocarriers can effectively reduce immune cell clearance and actively target tumors. In this study, a macrophage cell membrane-camouflaged mesoporous silica nanorod (MSNR)-based antitumor drug carrier equipped with a cationic polymer layer was developed. As drug carriers, these MSNRs were loaded with the thermosensitive phase change material L-menthol (LM), the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) and the fluorescent molecule indocyanine green (ICG). The rod-like shape of the MSNRs was shown to enhance the penetration of the drug carriers to tumors. In the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment, the cationic polymer exhibited a proton sponge effect to trigger macrophage cell membrane coating detachment, promoting tumor cell uptake. Following nanocarrier uptake, ICG is heated by near-infrared (NIR) irradiation to make LM undergo a phase transition to release DOX and generate a synergistic effect of thermochemotherapy which kills tumor cells and inhibits tumor growth together with reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by ICG. Overall, this nanohybrid drug delivery system demonstrates an intelligent cascade response, leads to tissue-cell specific targeting and improves drug release accuracy, thus proving to be an effective cancer therapy. ![]()

Carboxyl-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles for the controlled delivery of poorly water-soluble non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Acta Biomater 2021; 134:576-592. [PMID: 34280558 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.07.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2021] [Revised: 06/06/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the delivery of poorly water-soluble non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by carboxyl-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-COOH) with high specific surface area (SBET). In this study, MSN-COOH was prepared by collaborative self-assembly using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as template and hydrolysis (3-triethoxyl-propyl) succinic anhydride (TESPSA) as co-structure auxiliary directing agent (CSDA). The drug delivery systems were constructed with NSAIDs including Nimesulide (NMS) and Indomethacin (IMC) as model drugs. Moreover, the characterization techniques, hemolysis and bio-adsorption testes, in vitro drug release and in vivo biological studies of MSN-COOH were also carried out. The characterization results showed that MSN-COOH is spheres with clearly visible irregular honeycomb nanopores and rough surface (SBET: 1257 m2/g, pore volume (VP): 1.17 cm3/g). After loading NMS/IMC into MSN-COOH with high drug loading efficiency (NMS: 98.7 and IMC: 98.2%), most crystalline NMS and IMC converted to amorphous phase confirmed using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray power diffraction (XRD) analysis. Meanwhile, MSN-COOH significantly increased the dissolution of NMS and IMC compared with non-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN), which was also confirmed by wettability experiments. The results of in vivo biological effects showed that MSN-COOH had higher bioavailability of NMS and IMC than MSN, and exerted strong anti-inflammatory effects by delivering more NMS and IMC in vivo. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study successfully prepared MSNs-COOH (mesoporous silica nanoparticles modified with negatively charged carboxyl groups on the surface and in the pores) with high specific surface area and pore volume by using the negatively charged carboxyl group (hyd-TESPSA) and the positively charged CTAB self-assembled through electrostatic attraction under alkaline conditions. The drug delivery systems were constructed with Nimesulide (NMS) and Indomethacin (IMC) as model drugs. The results showed MSNs-COOH had high drug loading capacity and also exhibited good in vitro drug release properties. Interestingly, NMS loaded MSNs-COOH also had a potential pH responsive release effect. In vivo biological studies revealed that NMS/IMC loaded MSNs-COOH could evidently improve the bioavailability and played the strong anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with remarkable structural features have been proven to be an excellent platform for the delivery of therapeutic molecules. Biological barriers in various forms (e.g., mucosal barrier, cellular barrier, gastrointestinal barrier, blood-brain barrier, and blood-tumor barrier) present substantial obstacles for MSNs. The physicochemical parameters of MSNs are known to be effective and tunable not only for load and release of therapeutic molecules but also for their biological responsiveness that is beneficial for cells and tissues. This review innovatively provides a description of how and why physicochemical properties (e.g., particle size, morphology, surface charge, hydrophilic-hydrophobic property, and surface modification) of MSNs influence their ability to cross the biological barriers prior to reaching targeted sites. First, the structural and physiological features of biological barriers are outlined. Next, the recent progresses in the critical physicochemical parameters of MSNs are highlighted from physicochemical and biological aspects. Surface modification, as an important strategy for achieving rapid transport, is also reviewed with special attention to the latest findings of bioactive groups and molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, advanced designs of multifunction intelligent MSNs to surmount the blood-tumor barrier and to actively target tumor sites are demonstrated in detail. Lastly, the biodegradability and toxicity of MSNs are evaluated. With perspectives for their potential application and biosafety, the clues in summary might lead to drug delivery with high efficiency and provide useful knowledge for rational design of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Chiral molecules, such as amino acids and carbohydrates, are the building blocks of nature. As a consequence, most natural supramolecular structures, such as enzymes and receptors, are able to distinguish among different orientations in space of functional groups, and enantiomers of chiral drugs usually have different pharmacokinetic properties and physiological effects. In this regard, the ability to recognize a single enantiomer from a racemic mixture is of paramount importance. Alternatively, the capacity to synthetize preferentially one enantiomer over another through a catalytic process can eliminate (or at least simplify) the subsequent isolation of only one enantiomer. The advent of nanotechnology has led to noteworthy improvements in many fields, from material science to nanomedicine. Similarly, nanoparticles functionalized with chiral molecules have been exploited in several fields. In this review, we report the recent advances of the use of chiral nanoparticles grouped in four major areas, i.e., enantioselective recognition, asymmetric catalysis, biosensing, and biomedicine.

Abstract
Most of the mesoporous chiral mesoporous silica (CMS) was synthesized by the chiral surfactant-directing method. In this study, a facile method was designed to synthesize CMS. In this method, achiral amphiphile was used as templating agents, and dilute ammonia solution was applied to induce the chirality of the CMS. Meanwhile, its morphology can be controlled by changing the concentration of the aqueous ammonia solution. The obtained CMS was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that all of the CMS possessed highly ordered mesostructures, and as the concentration of ammonia decreases, the chirality of the CMS becomes more obvious. Water-insoluble drug curcumin (Cur) was used as a model drug. The characteristics of CMS before and after drug loading were further detected by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), N2 adsorption-desorption and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The result showed that Cur was successfully loaded inside the pores of the CMS and remained an amorphous state due to steric inhibition. Additionally, CMS could significantly increase the release rate of Cur under different pH conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this research was to study the basic physicochemical and biological properties regarding the application of L-tartaric acid modified chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticle (CMSN) as a drug carrier, and to explore the structure-property relationship of silica-based materials. METHODS CMSN with functions of carboxyl modification and chirality was successfully synthesized through co-condensation method, and the basic characteristics of CMSN, including morphology, structure, wettability, degradation, bio-adhesion and retention ability in gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) were estimated by comparing with non-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN). Meanwhile, the biocompatibility and toxicity of L-tartaric modification were systematically evaluated both in vitro and in vivo through MTT cell viability assay, cell cycle and apoptosis assay, hemolysis assay, histopathology examination, hematology analysis, and clinical chemistry examination. RESULTS CMSN and MSN were spherical nanoparticles with uniform mesoporous structure. CMSN with smaller pore size and carboxyl functional groups exhibited better wettability. Besides, CMSN and MSN could dissolve thoroughly in simulated physiological fluids during a degradation period of 1-12 weeks. Interestingly, the in vitro and in vivo behaviors of carriers, including degradation, bio-adhesion and retention ability in the GI tract were closely related to wettability. As expected, CMSN had faster degradation rate, higher mucosa-adhesion ability, and longer retention time. Particularly, CMSN improved the bio-adhesion property in both gastric mucosa and small intestinal mucosa, and prolonged the GI tract retention time to at least 12 h, which meant higher probability for absorption. The biocompatibility and toxicity examination indicated that CMSN was a kind of biocompatible bio-material with good blood compatibility and negligible toxicity, which is required for further applications in biological fields. CONCLUSION CMSN with functions of carboxyl modification and chirality had superiority in terms of both physicochemical and biological properties. The in vitro and in vivo behaviors of carriers, including degradation, bio-adhesion, and retention were closely related to wettability.

Abstract
Large mesopores of chiral silica nanoparticles applied as drug carrier are worth studying. In this study, chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSN) and enlarged chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (E-CMSN) with a particle size from 200 to 300 nm were synthesized. Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), circular dichroism spectrum, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurement were adopted to explore their characteristics. The results showed that the surface area, pore volume, and pore diameter of E-CMSN were higher than those of CMSN due to enlarged mesopores. Poorly water-soluble drug nimesulide (NMS) was taken as the model drug and loaded into carriers using adsorption method. After NMS was loaded into CMSN and E-CMSN, most crystalline NMS converted to amorphous phase and E-CMSN was superior. The anti-inflammatory pharmacodynamics and in vivo pharmacokinetics results were consistent with the wetting property and in vitro drug dissolution results, verifying that NMS/E-CMSN exhibited superior NMS delivery system based on its higher oral relative bioavailability and anti-inflammatory effect because its enlarge mesopores contributed to load and release more amorphous NMS. The minor variations in the synthesis process contributed to optimize the chiral nano-silica drug delivery system.

Abstract
The use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) in the field of oral drug delivery has recently attracted greater attention. However, there is still limited knowledge about how the shape of MSNs affects drug delivery capacity. In our study, we fabricated mesoporous silica nanorods (MSNRs) to study the shape effects of MSNs on oral delivery. MSNRs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption/desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and small-angle X-ray diffraction (small-angle XRD). Indomethacin (IMC), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, was loaded into MSNRs as model drug, and the drug-loaded MSNRs resulted in an excellent dissolution-enhancing effect. The cytotoxicity and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies indicated that MSNRs can be applied as a safe and efficient candidate for the delivery of insoluble drugs. The use of MSNs with a rod-like shape, as a drug delivery carrier, will extend the pharmaceutical applications of silica materials.

Abstract
Carboxyl-group functionalized mesoporous silica (CFMS) prepared by one-pot co-condensation method was employed for the solid phase extraction (SPE) of chromium species for the first time. A new approach of SPE coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was thus established for the speciation of chromium in environmental water samples. The influences of pH, volume of sample, extraction time, amount of adsorbent, elution conditions, co-existing ions and adsorption capacity were investigated on adsorption or elution of chromium species. Cr(VI) was not retained on the CFMS material in the pH range of 1.0-9.0, while Cr(III) was quantitatively adsorbed at pH 5.0-9.0. The captured Cr(III) was enriched by using 1.5 mol L-1 HNO3 as elution solvent and detected by ICP-MS. Under the optimized SPE conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity of the CFMS for Cr(III) was 57.67 mg g-1 and the enrichment factor was 25, with the detection limit (LOD) of 0.02 μg L-1. The proposed protocol has been successfully applied to chromium speciation in rain, lake and river water samples, which exhibited a prospect in field separation and enrichment of chromium species in environmental waters.

Abstract
Targeting the DNA of tumor cells with small molecules may offer effective clinical strategies for transcriptional inhibition. We unveil synthesis and characterization of ∼20 nm chiral carbon nanoparticles for enantiospecific recognition of DNA. Our approach inculcates chirality in carbon nanoparticles by controlled tethering of minor groove binders, i.e., Tröger's base (TB). The chiral particles positively enriched the cellular nucleus in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, irrespective of the TB asymmetry tethered on the particle surface, but negatively induced chiral carbon nanoparticles exhibited improved efficiency at inhibiting cell growth. Further studies indicated that these chiral particles act as nanotweezers to perturb the genomic DNA and induce apoptosis cascade in cancer cells.

Abstract
There is a major need for light-activated materials for the release of sensitizers and drugs. Considering the success of chiral columns for the separation of enantiomer drugs, we synthesized an S,S-chiral linker system covalently attached to silica with a sensitizer ethene near the silica surface. First, the silica surface was modified to be aromatic rich, by replacing 70% of the surface groups with (3-phenoxypropyl)silane. We then synthesized a 3-component conjugate [chlorin sensitizer, S,S-chiral cyclohexane and ethene building blocks] in 5 steps with a 13% yield, and covalently bound the conjugate to the (3-phenoxypropyl)silane-coated silica surface. We hypothesized that the chiral linker would increase exposure of the ethene site for enhanced 1 O2 -based sensitizer release. However, the chiral linker caused the sensitizer conjugate to adopt a U shape due to favored 1,2-diaxial substituent orientation; resulting in a reduced efficiency of surface loading. Further accentuating the U shape was π-π stacking between the (3-phenoxypropyl)silane and sensitizer. Semiempirical calculations and singlet oxygen luminescence data provided deeper insight into the sensitizer's orientation and release. This study has lead to insight on modifications of surfaces for drug photorelease and can help lead to the development of miniaturized photodynamic devices.

Abstract
Melittin (MLT), as a natural active biomolecule, can penetrate the tumor cell membrane to play a role in cancer treatment and will attract more attention in future development of antitumor drugs. The main component of natural bee venom MLT was modified by introducing a pH-sensitive amide bond between the 2,3-dimethyl maleimide (DMMA) and the lysine (Lys) of MLT (MLT-DMMA). MLT and its corresponding modified peptide MLT-DMMA were used for antitumor and biocompatibility validation. The biomaterial characteristics were tested by MALDI-TOF MS, 1H NMR, IUPAC and HPLC, cell viability, hemolytic and animal experiment safety evaluation. Compared with the primary melittin, the modified peptide showed decreased surface charge and low cytotoxicity in physiological conditions. Moreover, cell assays confirmed the acid-activated conversion of amide bond resulting in adequate safety during delivery and timely antitumor activity in tumor lesions. Thus, MLT-DMMA provided a feasible platform to improve the targeted and safe antitumor applications.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been widely used in biomedical applications. However, most studies have been limited to spherical MSNs, while non-spherical MSNs have never been rigorously studied. In this study, we fabricated mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNSs) and mesoporous silica nanorods (MSNRs), with different aspect ratios (ARs) but identical surface chemistries to explore the shape effects of MSNs on oral delivery. The results of cellular studies demonstrated that MSNRs exhibited a higher cellular uptake than MSNSs. Mechanistic studies showed that caveolae-mediated endocytosis was involved in the uptake of MSNRs, while the clathrin-dependent pathway contributed to the endocytosis of MSNSs. Meanwhile, the apparent permeability coefficient value (Papp) of doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox)-loaded MSNRs was approximately 1.8-, 3.2- and 6.3-fold higher than that of Dox-loaded MSNS1, Dox-loaded MSNS2 and Dox solution, respectively. The in vivo pharmacokinetics study showed that the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) achieved by Dox-loaded MSNRs was 1.9-, 3.4- and 5.7-fold higher than the corresponding values for Dox-loaded MSNS1, MSNS2 and Dox solution, respectively. Taken together, our results demonstrated that tuning nanoparticle shape potentially determines the biological fate of nanoparticles with higher delivery efficiency, such as enhanced cellular uptake and oral bioavailability.

Abstract
The present study established indometacin (IMC) delivery system with chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSNs) and amino-modified chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Amino-CMSNs) that previously reported as pharmaceutical excipients, and their systemic biological effects, mainly consisting of in vitro drug intestinal permeability, haemolysis assay, in vivo pharmacokinetics, anti-inflammation pharmacodynamics and gastric irritation, were addressed. It turned out that the two IMC delivery systems established by CMSN and Amino-CMSN significantly improved drug intestinal permeability due to the improved drug dissolution caused by conversion of drug crystalline state to amorphous phase. Further, IMC-loaded Amino-CMSN was the superior choice because of its higher dissolution rate. Furthermore, CMSN and Amino-CMSN were safe to be circulated in blood, and Amino-CMSN with significant lower haemolysis ratio than CMSN was better for the minimum haemolytic behaviour. Oral bioavailability and anti-inflammation effect of IMC delivery systems established by CMSN and Amino-CMSN were enhanced compared with IMC, which was attributed to the primary cause of the improvement of IMC dissolution, and Amino-CMSN exhibited better biological effect. As a result of these facts, it is believed that the effective delivery of IMC by Amino-CMSN will provide a new candidate to formulate poorly soluble drugs so as to significantly develop pharmaceutical application.

Abstract
Hybrid mesoporous silica SBA-15, with surface incorporated cross-linked long hydrophobic organic bridges was synthesized using stepwise synthesis. The synthesized materials were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption, X-rays diffraction, thermogravimetry and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The functionalized material showed highly ordered mesoporous network with a surface area of 629.0m2g-1. The incorporation of long hydrophobic amine chains on silica surface resulted in high drug loading capacity (21% Mass/Mass) and prolonged release of ibuprofen up till 75.5h. The preliminary investigations suggests that the synthesized materials could be proposed as controlled release devices to prolong the therapeutic effect of short life drugs such as ibuprofen to increase its efficacy and to reduce frequent dosage.

Amphipathic silica nanoparticles induce cytotoxicity through oxidative stress mediated and p53 dependent apoptosis pathway in human liver cell line HL-7702 and rat liver cell line BRL-3A. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2016; 145:232-240. [PMID: 27187187 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2016.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2016] [Revised: 05/01/2016] [Accepted: 05/04/2016] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential cytotoxicity and the underlying mechanism of amphipathic silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) exposure to human normal liver HL-7702 cells and rat normal liver BRL-3A cells. Prior to the cellular studies, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and X ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize SiO2 NPs, which proved the amorphous nature of SiO2 NPs with TEM diameter of 19.8±2.7nm. Further studies proved that exposure to SiO2 NPs dose-dependently induced cytotoxicity as revealed by cell counting kit (CCK-8) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays, with more severe cytotoxicity in HL-7702 cells than BRL-3A cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) assays showed elevated oxidative stress in both cells. Morphological studies by microscopic observation, Hochest 33258 and AO/EB staining indicated significant apoptotic changes after the cells being exposed to SiO2 NPs. Further studies by western blot indicated that SiO2 NPs exposure to both cells up-regulated p53, Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression and down-regulated Bcl-2 and caspase-3 levels. Activated caspase-3 activity detected by colorimetric assay kit and caspase-3/7 activity detected by fluorescent real-time detection kit were significantly increased by SiO2 NPs exposure. In addition, antioxidant vitamin C significantly attenuated SiO2 NPs-induced caspase-3 activation, which indicated that SiO2 NPs-induced oxidative stress was involved in the process of HL-7702 and BRL-3A cell apoptosis. Taken together, these results suggested that SiO2 NPs-induced cytotoxicity in HL-7702 and BRL-3A cells was through oxidative stress mediated and p53, caspase-3 and Bax/Bcl-2 dependent pathway and HL-7702 cells were more sensitive to SiO2 NPs-induced cytotoxicity than BRL-3A cells.
