Abstract
The natural phenolic molecule caffeic acid, show promising effects on biological systems as an anti/pro-oxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory agent. In nanoparticle functionalization designs, most organic nanoparticle coatings are utilized only for their ability to carry chemotherapeutics and targeting ligand. In this study, UV-light and auto-oxidation polymerization of caffeic acid on top of as-prepared gold nanoparticles was utilized to bring about a 5 nm multifunctional coating. The resulting polycaffeic acid (PCA) coating was used to conjugate both boronic acid containing compounds, chemotherapeutic bortezomib (BTZ) and cancer targeting ligand folate, while inducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species that can damage intracellular proteins and DNA. This complements the drug payload, bortezomib's cell survival inhibition properties. The drug, targeting ligand, and coating complexation are all pH cleavable under acidic pH condition (<5.0) which can be found in a tumor and endosomal microenvironment. The in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated cancer cytotoxicity and tumor inhibiting properties of the developed nanomedicine.

Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:pharmaceutics12111082.

Abstract
Phenolics from plant materials have garnered attention in nanomedicine research, due to their various medicinal properties. Caffeic acid, a phenolic compound that is abundant in coffee beans, has been proven to have anticancer effects, due to its reactive oxygen species (ROS)-inducing properties. Here, a supramolecular nanomedicine was designed using caffeic acid molecule and the synthetic anticancer drug bortezomib, via catechol–boronic acid conjugation and Fe(III) ion crosslinking. Bortezomib is a proteasome-inhibiting drug and its boronic acid functional group can bind to caffeic acid’s catechol moiety. By having a nanoparticle formulation that can deliver bortezomib via intracellular endocytosis, the catechol–boronic acid conjugation can be dissociated, which liberates the boronic acid functional group to bind to the 26S proteasome of the cell. The ROS-inducing property of caffeic acid also complements the bortezomib payload, as the latter suppresses the survival mechanism of the cell through NF-κB inhibition.

Abstract
Titanium implants are extensively used in biomedical applications due to their excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and superb mechanical stability. In this work, we present the use of polycaffeic acid (PCA) to immobilize metallic silver on the surface of titanium materials to prevent implant bacterial infection. Caffeic acid is a plant-derived phenolic compound, rich in catechol moieties and it can form functional coatings using alkaline buffers and with UV irradiation. This combination can trigger oxidative polymerization and deposition on the surface of metallic substrates. Using PCA can also give advantages in bone implants in decreasing inflammation by decelerating macrophage and osteoclast activity. Here, chemical and physical properties were investigated using FE-SEM, EDS, XPS, AFM, and contact angle. The in vitro biocompatibility and antibacterial studies show that PCA with metallic silver can inhibit bacterial growth, and proliferation of MC-3T3 cells was observed. Therefore, our results suggest that the introduced approach can be considered as a potential method for functional implant coating application in the orthopedic field.

Abstract
Stainless steel as a biomedical implant material has been studied in various fields and in various forms, such as vascular stents, bone plates, dental screws, and artificial hip and bone material. In this study, we used polycaffeic acid (PCA), a natural phenolic compound, to coat the surface of medical grade stainless steel to provide added potential medicinal effects by virtue of its inherent anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifibrosis, antithrombosis, and antihypertensive characteristics. We did this via UV irradiation under an alkaline state to solve the cost and time problems of other existing coating methods. The physicochemical properties of the samples were investigated through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle, FTIR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Surface bioactivity using NIH-3T3 cell lines were observed in vitro. We expect that the proposed methodology may contribute to the field of study of implantable metallic devices.
