Abstract
Small molecules find extensive application in medicine, food safety, and environmental studies, particularly in biomedicine. Immunoassay technology, leveraging the specific recognition between antigens and antibodies, offers a superior alternative to traditional physical and chemical analysis methods. This approach allows for the rapid and accurate detection of small molecular compounds, owing to its high sensitivity, specificity, and swift analytical capabilities. However, small molecular compounds often struggle to effectively stimulate an immune response due to their low molecular weight, weak antigenicity, and limited antigenic epitopes. To overcome this, coupling small molecule compounds with macromolecular carriers to form complete antigens is typically required to induce specific antibodies in animals. Consequently, the preparation of small-molecule artificial antigens and the production of efficient specific antibodies are crucial for achieving precise immunoassays. This paper reviews recent advancements in small molecule antibody preparation technology, emphasizing the design and synthesis of haptens, the coupling of haptens with carriers, the purification and identification of artificial antigens, and the preparation of specific antibodies. Additionally, it evaluates the current technological shortcomings and limitations while projecting future trends in artificial antigen synthesis and antibody preparation technology.

Abstract
We have semi-synthesized a natural product 7-acetylhorminone from crude extract of Premna obtusifolia (Indian headache tree), which is active against colorectal cancer after probation through computational screening methods as it passed through the set parameters of pharmacokinetics (most important nonblood-brain barrier permeant) and drug likeliness (e.g., Lipinski's, Ghose's, Veber's rule) which most other phytoconstituents failed to pass combined with docking with EGFR protein which is highly upregulated in the colorectal carcinoma cell. The structure of 7-acetylhorminone was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies and 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and COSY studies. To validate the theoretical studies, first, in vitro experiments were carried out against human colorectal carcinoma cell lines (HCT116) which revealed the potent cytotoxic efficacy of 7-acetylhorminone and verified preliminary investigation. Second, the drugability of 7-acetylhorminone interaction with serum albumin proteins (HSA and BSA) is evaluated both theoretically and experimentally via steady-state fluorescence spectroscopic studies, circular dichroism, isothermal titration calorimetry, and molecular docking. In summary, this study reveals the applicability of 7-acetylhorminone as a potent drug candidate or as a combinatorial drug against colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Our research aimed to enhance the oral bioavailability of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl) while minimizing the potential for myocardial toxicity. To achieve this goal, we developed a new method that utilizes a coating material to encapsulate the drug in liposomes, which can specifically target intestinal taurine transporter proteins. This coating material, TAU-CS, was created by combining taurine with chitosan. We characterized TAU-CS using various methods, including 1H NMR, FT-IR, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The resulting liposomes exhibited a regular spherical morphology, with a particle size of 195.7 nm, an encapsulation efficiency of 91.23 %, and a zeta potential of +11.65 mV. Under simulated gastrointestinal conditions, TAU-CS/LIP@DOX·HCl exhibited good stability and slow release. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that, compared with DOX·HCl, TAU-CS/LIP@DOX·HCl had a relative bioavailability of 342 %. Intracellular uptake, immunofluorescence imaging, and permeation assays confirmed that the taurine transporter protein mediates the intestinal uptake of these liposomes. Our study suggested that liposomes coated with TAU-CS could serve as an effective oral delivery system and that targeting the taurine transporter protein shows promise in enhancing drug absorption.

Abstract
CFP2 is a sulfated polysaccharide isolated from Codium fragile that shows excellent immunomodulatory activity. To reduce the side effects of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), CFP2 was used as a macromolecular carrier to react with carboxymethyl-5-fluorouracil (C-5-FU) to form CFP2-C-5-FU, which further reacted with folic acid (FA) via an ester bond to form novel conjugates (CFP2-C-5-FU-FA). CFP2-C-5-FU-FA was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis. In vitro drug release results showed that the cumulative release rate of C-5-FU was 49.9% in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) after 96 h, which was much higher than that of the other groups, indicating that CFP2-C-5-FU-FA showed controlled drug release behavior. CFP2-C-5-FU-FA also exhibited enhanced apoptosis and cellular uptake in vitro. Further, intravenous administration of CFP2-C-5-FU-FA in an HCT-116 cell-bearing xenograft mouse showed that the conjugates were safe and effective drug delivery systems. These results suggest that folate-targeted conjugates can be used effectively for efficient chemotherapy of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
The most important limitations of chemotherapeutic agents are severe side effects and the development of multi-drug resistance. Recently, the clinical successes achieved with immunotherapy have revolutionized the treatment of several advanced-stage malignancies, but most patients do not respond and many of them develop immune-related adverse events. Loading synergistic combinations of different anti-tumor drugs in nanocarriers may enhance their efficacy and reduce life-threatening toxicities. Thereafter, nanomedicines may synergize with pharmacological, immunological, and physical combined treatments, and should be increasingly integrated in multimodal combination therapy regimens. The goal of this manuscript is to provide better understanding and key considerations for developing new combined nanomedicines and nanotheranostics. We will clarify the potential of combined nanomedicine strategies that are designed to target different steps of the cancer growth as well as its microenvironment and immunity interactions. Moreover, we will describe relevant experiments in animal models and discuss issues raised by translation in the human setting.

Abstract
Application of nanocarriers for drug delivery brings numerous advantages, allowing both minimization of side effects common in systemic drug delivery and improvement in targeting, which has made it the focal point of nanoscience for a number of years. While most of the studies are focused on encapsulation of hydrophobic drugs, delivery of hydrophilic compounds is typically performed via covalent attachment, which often requires chemical modification of the drug and limits the release kinetics. In this paper, we report synthesis of biphilic copolymers of various compositions capable of self-assembly in water with the formation of nanoparticles and suitable for ionic binding of the common anticancer drug doxorubicin. The copolymers are synthesized by radical copolymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and acrylic acid using n-octadecyl-mercaptan as a chain transfer agent. With an increase of the carboxyl group's share in the chain, the role of the electrostatic stabilization factor of the nanoparticles increased as well as the ability of doxorubicin as an ion binder. A mathematical description of the kinetics of doxorubicin binding and release is given and thermodynamic functions for the equilibrium ionic binding of doxorubicin are calculated.

Abstract
Small- and medium-sized cyclopeptides have been found to have extensive bioactivities and have drawn much attention from medicinal chemists. In the work described in this paper, various cyclic peptide analogs of Fenestin A were synthesized by intramolecular photoinduced electron-transfer cyclization reactions to study the influence of slight structural changes on the bioactivity of small cyclopeptides. The incorporation of thiazole and rigid isoindolinone fragments was found to improve the bioactivity of the cyclopeptide. Detailed in vitro studies of the apoptosis mechanism, mitochondrial membrane potential, cell cycle, intracellular Ca2+ concentration, and lactate dehydrogenase activity following treatment with a cyclopeptide showed that the cyclopeptide could induce apoptosis of tumor cells and lead to cycle arrest in the G2/M phase. The research also suggested that the photoinduced reaction could be applied to construct cyclic peptides stereoselectively, and the introduction of rigid fragments could enhance the biological activity of cyclopeptide drugs.

Abstract
A series of [Ir(N^C)2(N^N)]+ NIR-emitting orthometalated complexes (1-7) has been prepared and structurally characterized using elemental analysis, mass-spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy. The complexes display intense phosphorescence with vibrationally structured emission bands exhibiting the maxima in the range 713-722 nm. The DFT and TD DFT calculations showed that the photophysical characteristics of these complexes are largely determined by the properties of the metalating N^C ligands, with their major contribution into formation of the lowest S1 and T1 excited states responsible for low energy absorption and emission, respectively. Emission lifetimes of 1-7 in degassed methanol solution vary from 1.76 to 5.39 µs and show strong quenching with molecular oxygen to provide an order of magnitude lifetime reduction in aerated solution. The photophysics of two complexes (1 and 7) were studied in model physiological media containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) and Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) to give linear Stern-Volmer calibrations with substantially lower oxygen-quenching constants compared to those obtained in methanol solution. These observations were interpreted in terms of the sensors' interaction with albumin, which is an abundant component of FBS and cell media. The studied complexes displayed acceptable cytotoxicity and preferential localization, either in mitochondria (1) or in lysosomes (7) of the CHO-K1 cell line. The results of the phosphorescence lifetime imaging (PLIM) experiments demonstrated considerable variations of the sensors' lifetimes under normoxia and hypoxia conditions and indicated their applicability for semi-quantitative measurements of oxygen concentration in living cells. The complexes' emission in the NIR domain and the excitation spectrum, extending down to ca. 600 nm, also showed that they are promising for use in in vivo studies.

Abstract
Chebulinic acid (CHN) and chebulagic acid (CHG) have been known for centuries for their anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, HIV and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, the interaction of these phytochemicals CHN/CHG, with the two major transport proteins for various drugs, human serum albumin (HSA) and α-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), was unraveled by using several spectroscopic techniques and computational methods. The binding of CHN/CHG quenches the HSA/AGP fluorescence intensities, and also these phytochemicals are bound strongly to HSA/AGP proteins. An apparent decrease in fluorescence intensities of CHN/CHG-HSA and CHN/CHG-AGP complex showed the static mode of fluorescence quenching. Furthermore, the intrinsic fluorescence and using site-specific markers ibuprofen competing with these molecules, thereby replacing it in the binding site of subdomain IIIA. The computational methods substantiated the experimental findings, revealing that CHN interacted with Lys414A, Glu492A, Glu492A and Lys413A residues of subdomain IIIA of HSA and for CHG showed the interaction with Lys545A and Lys413A residues of subdomain IIIA of HSA. Fluorescence and surface plasmon resonance data unveiled a previously unreported binding event between CHN/CHG and HSA; the determined binding affinities of both compounds were slightly higher for HSA than AGP. A change in functionality of protein confirmed the esterase-like activity of HSA in the presence of CHG/CHN upon binding with CHG/CHN. Displacement and circular dichroism (CD) experiments analysis showed that the two CHN/CHG and binding specifically to IIIA subdomain on HSA results in the conformational changes in the HSA. Thus, CD revealed a few conformational changes in HSA due to CHN/CHG. The binding of these two phytochemicals to the plasma proteins would give a path to develop new inspired drug molecules for chronic diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Albumin, as the most abundant plasma protein, plays an integral role in the transport of a variety of exogenous and endogenous ligands in the bloodstream and extravascular spaces. For exogenous drugs, especially chemotherapeutic drugs, binding to and being delivered by albumin can significantly affect their efficacy. Meanwhile, albumin can also bind to many endogenous ligands, such as fatty acids, with important physiological significance that can affect tumor proliferation and metabolism. In this review, we summarize how albumin with unique properties affects chemotherapeutic drugs efficacy from the aspects of drug outcome in blood, toxicity, tumor accumulation and direct or indirect interactions with fatty acids, plus application of albumin-based carriers for anti-tumor drug delivery.

Abstract
This paper applied mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of UiO-66 particles for pH-responsive doxorubicin (DOX) delivery and cancer treatment. Mesoporous structured UiO-66 MOFs were synthesized, and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was loaded for sensitive pH response and also as a linker to encapsulate the chemotherapeutic drug of DOX. The composite of UiO-66/CMC@DOX was synthesized, and the loading capacity was as high as 45μg DOX per mg of the carrier. The structure and crystalization of the UiO-66 MOFs were determined by the Transmitting Electron Microscope (TEM) and x-ray diffraction methods, while the loading of CMC and DOX was inspected by Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The DOX release from UiO-66/CMC@DOX was tested under different pH at 37 °C. The DOX accumulative release could reach 78% under the pH of 5. A lower pH was more favorable for DOX release due to the CMC shrinking and higher DOX solubility in an acidic environment. The cytotoxicity study indicated that, under the DOX concentration of 4μg ml-1, the A549 cell (Lung Carcinoma Cell Line) viability of UiO-66/CMC was 28%, which was lower than that from free DOX solution (47%). UiO-66 MOFs were demonstrated to be an efficient drug delivery carrier for chemotherapeutic drug and release.

Abstract
Hematoporphyrin (HP) and protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) are useful porphyrin photosensitizers with significant application values in photodynamic therapy. Currently, many strategies have been developed to improve their clinical performance, such as incorporating them with nanoparticle (NP) carriers. In this work, we studied the possibility of using β-lactoglobulin (BLG) as a potential NP carrier due to their hydrophobic affinity, pH sensitivity, and low cost of extraction and preservation. The interaction mechanisms of BLG with HP and PPIX were investigated using spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking methods. The molecular docking results agree well with the experimental results, which demonstrate that the formations of HP-BLG and PPIX-BLG complexes are endothermic processes and the main acting force is hydrophobic force. Furthermore, the opening-closure states of EF loop have a great influence on the HP-BLG complex formation, where the central hydrophobic cavity of β-barrel is available for HP binding at pH 7.4 but not available at pH 6.2. However, the formation of the PPIX-BLG complex is less dependent on the states of the EF loop, and the binding sites of PPIX are both located on the external surface of BLG under both pH 7.4 and 6.2 conditions. All of our results would provide new insight into the mechanisms of noncovalent interactions between BLG and HP/PPIX. It is believed that this work indicated the potential application values of BLG in designing pH-sensitive carriers for the delivery of HP and PPIX, as well as other poorly soluble drugs.

Abstract
This study aims to isolate and identify the structure of antibacterial compounds having potent activity on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from marine actinomycetes, and also to identify their mode of action. Lactoquinomycin A (LQM-A) (compound 1) and its derivatives (2–4) were isolated from marine-derived Streptomyces bacillaris strain MBTC38, and their structures were determined using extensive spectroscopic methods. These compounds showed potent antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria, with MIC values of 0.06–4 μg/mL. However, the tested compounds exhibited weak inhibitory activity against Gram-negative bacteria, although they were effective against Salmonella enterica (MIC = 0.03–1 μg/mL). LQM-A exhibited the most significant inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (MIC = 0.25–0.5 μg/mL), with a low incidence of resistance. An in vivo dual-reporter assay designed to distinguish between compounds that inhibit translation and those that induce DNA damage was employed to assess the mode of action of LQM-A. LQM-A-induced DNA damage and did not inhibit protein synthesis. The gel mobility shift assay showed that LQM-A switched plasmid DNA from the supercoiled to relaxed form in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. These data suggest that LQM-A intercalated into double-stranded DNA and damaged DNA repair.

Abstract
The increase in multi-drug resistant pathogenic bacteria is making our current arsenal of clinically used antibiotics obsolete, highlighting the urgent need for new lead compounds with distinct target binding sites to avoid cross-resistance. Here we report that the aromatic polyketide antibiotic tetracenomycin (TcmX) is a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis, and does not induce DNA damage as previously thought. Despite the structural similarity to the well-known translation inhibitor tetracycline, we show that TcmX does not interact with the small ribosomal subunit, but rather binds to the large subunit, within the polypeptide exit tunnel. This previously unappreciated binding site is located adjacent to the macrolide-binding site, where TcmX stacks on the noncanonical basepair formed by U1782 and U2586 of the 23S ribosomal RNA. Although the binding site is distinct from the macrolide antibiotics, our results indicate that like macrolides, TcmX allows translation of short oligopeptides before further translation is blocked.

Abstract
Birch-bark triterpenoids and their semi-synthetic derivatives possess a wide range of biological activities including cytotoxic effects on various tumor cell lines. However, due to the low solubility and bioavailability, their medicinal applications are rather limited. The use of various nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems is a rapidly developing approach to the solubilization of insufficiently bioavailable pharmaceuticals. Herein, the drug delivery systems deemed to be applicable for birch-bark triterpenoid structures are reviewed. The aforementioned disadvantages of birch-bark triterpenoids and their semi-synthetic derivatives can be overcome through their incorporation into organic nanoparticles, which include various dendrimeric systems, as well as embedding the active compounds into polymer matrices or complexation with carbohydrate nanoparticles without covalent bonding. Some of the known triterpenoid delivery systems consist of nanoparticles featuring inorganic cores covered with carbohydrates or other polymers. Methods for delivering the title compounds through encapsulation and emulsification into lipophilic media are also suitable. Besides, the birch-bark triterpenoids can form self-assembling systems with increased bio-availability. Even more, the self-assembling systems are used as carriers for delivering other chemotherapeutic agents. Another advantage besides increased bioavailability and anticancer activity is the reduced overall systemic toxicity in most of the cases, when triterpenoids are delivered with any of the carriers.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is still used as a first-line drug in current therapeutics for numerous types of malignant tumours (including lymphoma, transplantable leukaemia and solid tumour). Nevertheless, to overcome the serious side effects like cardiotoxicity and myelosuppression caused by effective doses of doxorubicin remains as a world-class puzzle. In recent years, the usage of biocompatible polymeric nanomaterials to form an intelligently sensitive carrier for the targeted release in tumour microenvironment has attracted wide attention. These different intelligent polymeric micelles (PMs) could change the pharmacokinetics process of drugs or respond in the special microenvironment of tumour site to maximise the efficacy and reduce the toxicity of doxorubicin in other tissues and organs. Several intelligent PMs have already been in the clinical research stage and planned for market. Therefore, related research remains active, and the latest nanotechnology approaches for doxorubicin delivery are always in the spotlight. Centring on the model drugs doxorubicin, this review summarised the mechanisms of PMs, classified the polymers used in the application of doxorubicin delivery and discussed some interesting and imaginative smart PMs in recent years.

Abstract
We determined the loading efficacy of folic acid - PAMAM - G3 and folic acid - PAMAM - G4 nanoparticles with doxorubicin (Dox), tamoxifen (Tam) and tetracycline (Tet) in aqueous solution at pH 7.2. Thermodynamic parameters ΔH0 -16 to -4 (kJ mol-1), ΔS0 31 to -0.3 (J mol-1K-1) and ΔG0 -14 to -11 (kJ mol-1) showed drug folic acid-PAMAM bindings are via ionic, H-bonding and van der Waals interactions. As acid - PAMAM size increased the stability and loading efficacy of drug-polymer conjugates were increased. The order of stability for drug-nanoparticles was doxorubicin > tetracycline > tamoxifen. TEM analysis showed major polymer morphological changes, upon drug encapsulation. Folic acid-PAMAM conjugates are effective drug delivery tools in vitro. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Background To establish the combination of doxorubicin (DOX) and silybin (SLB) in oral hepatic-targeting liposomes with the goal of reducing cardiotoxic side effects and improve oral hepatoma treatment. Methods Distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine–polyethylene glycol–cholic acid-modified liposomes (CA-LP) were used to encapsulate DOX and SLB (CA-LP–DOX/SLB), and the hepatic targeting, efficacy against hepatoma and cardioprotective effects were evaluated by cell toxicity, scratch and apoptosis in vitro studies, and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in vivo studies. Results In vitro cell studies showed that CA-LP–DOX/SLB inhibited HepG2 cell proliferation and HCC97H cell migration, and protected H9c2 cells. In vivo pharmacokinetics demonstrated that the CA-LP–DOX/SLB-treated group showed higher liver accumulation and lower heart accumulation of DOX relative to those in the CA-LP–DOX and LP–DOX-treated groups. In vivo pharmacodynamic studies showed that the CA-LP–DOX/SLB-treated group not only efficiently inhibited growth but also induced significantly less tissue damage than that observed in the CA-LP–DOX-treated group. Conclusion Concurrent administration of DOX and SLB via CA-LP provided a viable strategy to mitigate acute DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Doxorubicin and paclitaxel, two hydrophobic chemotherapeutic agents, are used in cancer therapies. Presence of hydrophobic patches and a flexible fold could probably make α-Lactalbumin a suitable carrier for hydrophobic drugs. In the present study, a variety of thermodynamic, spectroscopic, computational, and cellular techniques were applied to assess α-lactalbumin potential as a carrier for doxorubicin and paclitaxel. According to isothermal titration calorimetry data, the interaction between α-lactalbumin and doxorubicin or paclitaxel is spontaneous and the K (M-1) value for the interaction of α-lactalbumin and paclitaxel is higher than that for doxorubicin. Differential scanning calorimetry and anisotropy results indicated formation of α-lactalbumin complexes with doxorubicin or paclitaxel. Furthermore, molecular docking and dynamic studies revealed that TRPs are not involved in α-Lac's interaction with Doxorubicin while TRP 60 interacts with paclitaxel. Based on Pace analysis to determine protein thermal stability, doxorubicin and paclitaxel induced higher and lower thermal stability in α-lactalbumin, respectively. Besides, fluorescence lifetime measurements reflected that the interaction between α-lactalbumin with doxorubicin or paclitaxel was of static nature. Therefore, the authors hypothesized that α-lactalbumin could serve as a carrier for doxorubicin and paclitaxel by reducing cytotoxicity and apoptosis which was demonstrated during our in vitro cell studies.

A pH-sensitive prodrug strategy to co-deliver DOX and TOS in TPGS nanomicelles for tumor therapy. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2018; 173:346-355.

Abstract
This work has presented a novel strategy for designing pH-sensitive TOS-H-DOX prodrug-loaded TPGS nanomicelles for co-delivery TOS and DOX to enhance tumor therapy and reduce the toxic side effects. DOX was covalently conjugated to the vitamin E succinate through hydrazone bond to produce an pH-sensitive prodrug TOS-H-DOX (amido bond as a control, TOS-A-DOX), which was responsive to the acidic environment in tumor cells, and the prodrugs were subsequently encapsulated in the core of TPGS nanomicelles via hydrophobic effects with a significant drug loading capacity. The pH-sensitive prodrug nanomicelles TOS-H-DOX/TPGS exhibited potent release of DOX in acidic media relative to the pH-insensitive prodrug nanomicelles TOS-A-DOX/TPGS, and further studies of their intracellular uptake and intracellular localization demonstrated that TOS-H-DOX/TPGS nanomicelles can be effectively taken up by cells and drugs can be released. In vitro results confirmed that TOS-H-DOX/TPGS nanomicelles exhibited significant antitumor cell proliferation activity compared to TOS-A-DOX/TPGS and free DOX, TPGS. Furthermore, in vivo studies further confirmed an excellent synergistic antitumor efficacy in MCF-7 tumor-bearing nude mice model. More importantly, the H&E staining of the heart, liver, kidney tissue sections of experimental nude mice showed that TOS-H-DOX/TPGS nanomicelles can reduce damage to them.

Abstract
Chemotherapy constitutes the main strategy in management of breast cancer (BC). Lack of specificity and high burden of adverse effects of chemotherapeutic agents remain the most important impediments to successful treatment of BC patients. Folate receptor α (FRα) could be very promising for therapeutic targeting in this type of cancer. In this study, ß-lactoglobulin nanoparticles (BNPs) conjugated with folic acid and loaded with doxorubicin (FDBNPs) were prepared. Various characterization techniques were applied to determine the size, polydispersity and doxorubicin loading of prepared FDBNPs in comparison with doxorubicin-loaded BNPs (DBNPs). The results showed that FDBNPs are 109.77 ± 2.80 nm in diameter with well dispersed and spherical shapes. The biodegradation of FDBNPs in the presence of trypsin enzyme and in PBS at different pH (4 and 7) was spectrophotometrically monitored and the results showed that the FDBNPs with encapsulation efficiency of 68.82%±1.76% could deliver doxorubicin at clinically relevant doses. Effects of DBNPs and FDBNPs against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, BC and triple negative BC (TNBC) cell lines, respectively, showed significant inhibition of cell proliferation as well as induction of apoptosis. Based on these findings, FDBNPs with facilitated drug release and targeted doxorubicin delivery capacities could have high therapeutic potential for BC and TNBC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lymph node metastases are a poor prognostic factor. Additionally, responses of lymph node metastasis to therapy can be different from the primary tumor. Investigating the physiologic lymph node blood vasculature might give insight into the ability of systemic drugs to penetrate the lymph node, and thus into the differential effect of therapy between lymph node metastasis and primary tumors. Here, we measured effective vascular permeability of lymph node blood vessels and attempted to increase chemotherapy penetration by increasing effective vascular permeability. METHODS We developed a novel three-dimensional method to measure effective vascular permeability in murine lymph nodes in vivo. VEGF-A was systemically administered to increase effective vascular permeability. Validated high-performance liquid chromatography protocols were used to measure chemotherapeutic drug concentrations in untreated and VEGF-A-treated lymph nodes, liver, spleen, brain, and blood. RESULTS VEGF-A-treated lymph node blood vessel effective vascular permeability (mean 3.83 × 10-7 cm/s) was significantly higher than untreated lymph nodes (mean 9.87 × 10-8 cm/s). No difference was found in lymph node drug accumulation in untreated versus VEGF-A-treated mice. CONCLUSIONS Lymph node effective vascular permeability can be increased (~fourfold) by VEGF-A. However, no significant increase in chemotherapy uptake was measured by pretreatment with VEGF-A.

Abstract
In this study, intracellular pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) of hyaluronic acid-hydrazone linkage-doxorubicin (HA-hyd-DOX) were designed and prepared for acid-triggered release of doxorubicin through a hydrazone linkage. A series of amphiphilic polymeric prodrugs were obtained, which can be self-assembled in aqueous media, the formed NPs exhibited a spherical core-shell type and the uniform size was ranging from 167 to 220nm. Moreover, the HA-hyd-DOX NPs exhibited a good stability in vitro and the drug release profiles showed that the DOX release was obviously mediated by pH gradient. Additionally, the cell counting assay kit-8 (CCK-8) demonstrated that the drug delivery system in this study performed a lower cytotoxicity on normal cells (Mouse fibroblast cells, L929) and higher inhibition ratio on tumor cells (Human cervical cancer cells, HeLa) in response to drug release with the intracellular pH environment. Furthermore, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images and flow cytometric profiles of HeLa cells showed an efficiently cellular uptake due to the receptor-mediated affinity of CD44 for HA with high specificity. These results suggest that this pH dependent drug delivery system based on HA will provide insights into the design of potential prodrugs for the cancer therapy.

Abstract
This article evaluates the anticancer drug delivery performances of two nanohydrogels composed of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-itaconic anhydride) [P(NIPAAm-co-IA)], poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. For this purpose, the magnetite nanohydrogels (MNHGs) were loaded with doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) as a universal anticancer drug. The morphologies and magnetic properties of the DOX-loaded MNHGs were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The sizes and zeta potentials (ξ) of the MNHGs and their corresponding DOX-loaded nanosystems were also investigated. The DOX-loaded MNHGs showed the highest drug release values at condition of 41 °C and pH 5.3. The drug-loaded MNHGs at physiological condition (pH 7.4 and 37 °C) exhibited negligible drug release values. In vitro cytotoxic effects of the DOX-loaded MNHGs were extensively evaluated through the assessing survival rate of HeLa cells using the MTT assay, and there in vitro cellular uptake into the mentioned cell line were examined using fluorescent microscopy and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) flow cytometry analyses. As the results, the DOX-loaded MNHG1 exhibited higher anticancer drug delivery performance in the terms of cytotoxic effect and in vitro cellular uptake. Thus, the developed MNHG1 can be considered as a promising de novo drug delivery system, in part due to its pH and thermal responsive drug release behavior as well as proper magnetite character toward targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
The binding efficacy of anticancer drugs doxorubicin and tamoxifen with polyamidoamine (PAMAM-G4) dendrimers was studied in aqueous solution at physiological pH. The results of multiple spectroscopic methods, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and molecular modeling of conjugated drug–polymer were examined. Structural analysis showed that drug–polymer conjugation occurs mainly via H-bonding and hydrophilic and hydrophobic contacts. Doxorubicin forms a more stable conjugate with PAMAM-G4 than tamoxifen. The drug loading efficacy was 40%–50%. The TEM images showed major changes in the PAMAM morphology upon drug encapsulation. Modeling showed that drug is located in the polymer surface and in the internal cavities. PAMAM nanoparticles are capable of transporting doxorubicin and tamoxifen in vitro. This minireview presents the most recent work performed with the dendrimers demonstrating their usefulness for drug delivery in cancer therapy.

A novel individual-cell-based mathematical model based on multicellular tumour spheroids for evaluating doxorubicin-related delivery in avascular regions. Br J Pharmacol 2017; 174:2862-2879. [PMID: 28608595 DOI: 10.1111/bph.13909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2017] [Revised: 05/25/2017] [Accepted: 06/05/2017] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Effective drug delivery in the avascular regions of tumours, which is crucial for the promising antitumour activity of doxorubicin-related therapy, is governed by two inseparable processes: intercellular diffusion and intracellular retention. To accurately evaluate doxorubicin-related delivery in the avascular regions, these two processes should be assessed together. Here we describe a new approach to such an assessment. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH An individual-cell-based mathematical model based on multicellular tumour spheroids was developed that describes the different intercellular diffusion and intracellular retention kinetics of doxorubicin in each cell layer. The different effects of a P-glycoprotein inhibitor (LY335979) and a hypoxia inhibitor (YC-1) were quantitatively evaluated and compared, in vitro (tumour spheroids) and in vivo (HepG2 tumours in mice). This approach was further tested by evaluating in these models, an experimental doxorubicin derivative, INNO 206, which is in Phase II clinical trials. KEY RESULTS Inhomogeneous, hypoxia-induced, P-glycoprotein expression compromised active transport of doxorubicin in the central area, that is, far from the vasculature. LY335979 inhibited efflux due to P-glycoprotein but limited levels of doxorubicin outside the inner cells, whereas YC-1 co-administration specifically increased doxorubicin accumulation in the inner cells without affecting the extracellular levels. INNO 206 exhibited a more effective distribution profile than doxorubicin. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The individual-cell-based mathematical model accurately evaluated and predicted doxorubicin-related delivery and regulation in the avascular regions of tumours. The described framework provides a mechanistic basis for the proper development of doxorubicin-related drug co-administration profiles and nanoparticle development and could avoid unnecessary clinical trials.

Abstract
Exploring novel and versatile nanomaterials for the construction of personalized multifunctional phototheranostics with significant potentials in bioimaging-guided tumor phototherapies has attracted considerable attention. Herein, the phototheranostic agent human serum albumin-iron (II) phthalocyanine FePc nanoparticles (HSA-FePc NPs) were fabricated for photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer in vivo. The prepared HSA-FePc NPs exhibited high stability, efficient NIR absorption, good capability and stability of photothermal behavior with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of ∼44.4%, high contrast and spatial resolution of PA imaging, efficient cancer therapy, and low long-term toxicity. This potent multifunctional phototheranostic is, therefore, very promising and favorable for effective, precise, and safe antitumor treatment in clinical application.

Abstract
Due to many adverse effects of conventional chemotherapy, novel methods of targeting drugs to cancer cells are being investigated. Nanosize carriers are a suitable platform for this specific delivery. Herein, we evaluated the long-term stability of the naturally found protein nanocarrier apoferritin (Apo) with encapsulated doxorubicin (Dox). The encapsulation was performed using Apo’s ability to disassemble reversibly into its subunits at low pH (2.7) and reassemble in neutral pH (7.2), physically entrapping drug molecules in its cavity (creating ApoDox). In this study, ApoDox was prepared in water and phosphate-buffered saline and stored for 12 weeks in various conditions (−20°C, 4°C, 20°C, and 37°C in dark, and 4°C and 20°C under ambient light). During storage, a very low amount of prematurely released drug molecules were detected (maximum of 7.5% for ApoDox prepared in PBS and 4.4% for ApoDox prepared in water). Fourier-transform infrared spectra revealed no significant differences in any of the samples after storage. Most of the ApoDox prepared in phosphate-buffered saline and ApoDox prepared in water and stored at −20°C formed very large aggregates (up to 487% of original size). Only ApoDox prepared in water and stored at 4°C showed no significant increase in size or shape. Although this storage caused slower internalization to LNCaP prostate cancer cells, ApoDox (2.5 μM of Dox) still retained its ability to inhibit completely the growth of 1.5×104 LNCaP cells after 72 hours. ApoDox stored at 20°C and 37°C in water was not able to deliver Dox inside the nucleus, and thus did not inhibit the growth of the LNCaP cells. Overall, our study demonstrates that ApoDox has very good stability over the course of 12 weeks when stored properly (at 4°C), and is thus suitable for use as a nanocarrier in the specific delivery of anticancer drugs to patients.

Abstract
Present study was conducted to establish the interaction of bovine fetuin-A to validate its binding modalities with doxorubicin (Dox). Fetuin-A was purified to highest purity and monodispersity. Green synthesis of fetuin-A conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-GNPs) has been performed giving typical UV-maxima with subtle variation in fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed spherical shaped, polydisperse F-GNPs of varying sizes, complementing the radius of hydration (19.5-62.4nm) by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Circular dichroism (CD) analysis of fetuin-A with respect to Dox interaction shows remarkable reduction in ellipticity with increasing concentrations of Dox (20-120μM). Fetuin-A:Dox and F-GNPs:Dox at variable concentrations revealed significantly enhanced absorption spectra, while a continuous decrease in florescence (560nm). This effect was more drastic when Dox interact with fetuin-A as compared to F-GNPs. Some known antimicrobial drugs were also investigated under similar conditions, giving strong quenching effect in a dose dependent manner suggesting the significant yet differential interactions. In cytotoxicity assay, fetuin-A:Dox conjugates revealed less toxicity as compared to F-GNPs:Dox and Dox alone. In-silico studies of the fetuin-A:Dox complex suggest that the drug binds in the major grove between beta-sheet and long loop region of D1 domain and stabilized by several hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
The delivery of combination chemotherapy by nanoscale platforms has been demonstrated to enhance cancer treatment in the clinic. Cisplatin (CDDP)-crosslinked, glutathione-sensitive, tumor-targeting micelles based on carboxymethyl chitosan were designed for synergistic cisplatin-doxorubicin (DOX) combination chemotherapy. In our study, DOX was conjugated to carboxymethyl chitosan through a disulfide bond, which was structurally characterized by 1H NMR. The micelles formed by self-assembly were spherical, with the mean diameter of 274nm. The in vitro release studies revealed that the micelles were highly glutathione-sensitive. Cytotoxicity analysis demonstrated that the cisplatin-crosslinked micelles loaded with DOX exhibited enhanced therapeutic efficacy compared with the DOX-loaded nanoparticles, free DOX, and free CDDP. Cellular uptake and intracellular release revealed that the cisplatin-crosslinked micelles loaded with DOX could efficiently deliver and release DOX into the cancer cells. These results clearly indicate that tumor-targeting and glutathione-sensitive micelles provide means for combination drug delivery in cancer treatment.

Abstract
We have reviewed the conjugation of biogenic polyamines spermine (spm), spermidine (spmd) and synthetic polyamines 3,7,11,15-tetrazaheptadecane.4HCl (BE-333) and 3,7,11,15,19-pentazahenicosane.5HCl (BE-3333) with human serum albumin (HSA), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and milk beta-lactoglobulin (b-LG) in aqueous solution at physiological pH. The results of multiple spectroscopic methods and molecular modeling were analysed here and correlations between polyamine binding mode and protein structural changes were estabilished. Polyamine-protein bindings are mainly via hydrophilic and H-bonding contacts. BSA forms more stable conjugates than HSA and b-LG. Biogenic polyamines form more stable complexes than synthetic polyamines except in the case of b-LG, where the protein shows more hydrophobic character than HSA and BSA. The loading efficacies were 40-52%. Modeling showed the presence of several H-bonding systems, which stabilized polyamine-protein conjugates. Polyamine conjugation induced major alterations of serum protein conformations. The potential application of serum proteins in delivery of polyamines is evaluated here.
