Abstract
Transitioning towards a circular economy, extensive research has focused on dynamic covalent bonds (DCBs) to pave the way for more sustainable materials. These bonds enable debonding and rebonding on demand, as well as facilitating end-of-life recycling. Acylhydrazone/hydrazone chemistry offers a material with high stability under neutral and basic conditions making it a promising candidate for materials research, though the material is susceptible to acid degradation. However, this degradation under acidic conditions can be exploited, making it widely applicable in self-healing and biomedical fields, with potential for reprocessing and recycling. This review highlights studies exploring the reversibility of acylhydrazone/hydrazone bonds in various polymers, altering their properties, and utilizing them in applications such as self-healing, reprocessing, and recycling. The review also focuses on how the mechanical properties are affected by the presence of dynamic linkages, and methods to improve the mechanical performance.

Drug Dev Ind Pharm 2023; 49:485-496. [PMID: 37470495 DOI: 10.1080/03639045.2023.2239342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Arsenic trioxide (ATO) exerts therapeutic effects on various solid tumors, and artesunate (ART) synergizes with antitumor drugs. We herein combined ART and an ATO prodrug (ATOP) in pH-responsive and liver-targeting liposomes to improve targeted hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. METHODS 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DSPE)-hydrazone (HYD)-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) (DSPE-HYD-PEG-GA) was synthesized and characterized. The optimal ratio of ART and ATOP was selected. Calcium arsenate nanoparticles (CaAs NPs) and DSPE-HYD-PEG-GA@ART/CaAs NPs liposomes were prepared and their physicochemical properties were characterized. Their intracellular uptake, intracellular localization, uptake pathway identification, cytotoxicity, proapoptotic effects, and relevant mechanisms were studied. RESULTS The DSPE-HYD-PEG-GA was successfully synthesized. The best ratio of ART and ATOP was 7:1. The particle size of CaAs NPs under transmission electron microscopy was 142.39 ± 21.50 nm. Arsenic (As), calcium, and oxygen elements were uniformly distributed in CaAs NPs, and the drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of As are 37.28% and 51.40%, respectively. The liposomes were elliptical, and the particle size was 100.91 ± 39.31 nm. The liposome cell intake was significantly increased in Huh-7 cells. The liposomes entered the cell through macropinocytosis and caveolin-mediated endocytosis and were predominantly distributed in the cytoplasm. They exerted an excellent inhibitory effect on Huh-7 cells and promoted tumor cell apoptosis through lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial membrane potential reduction, and cell-cycle blockage. CONCLUSIONS The pH-responsive and liver-targeting drug delivery system for the combination delivery of ART with ATOP showed promising effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

A nanodiamond chemotherapeutic folate receptor-targeting prodrug with triggerable drug release. Int J Pharm 2022; 630:122432.

Abstract
Cancer chemotherapy is often accompanied by severe off-target effects that both damage quality of life and can decrease therapeutic compliance. This could be minimized through selective delivery of cytotoxic agents directly to the cancer cells. This would decrease the drug dose, consequently minimizing side effects and cost. With this goal in mind, a dual-gated folate-functionalized nanodiamond drug delivery system (NPFSSD) for doxorubicin with activatable fluorescence and cytotoxicity has been prepared. Both the cytotoxic activity and the fluorescence of doxorubicin (DOX) are quenched when it is covalently immobilized on the nanodiamond. The NPFSSD is preferentially uptaken by cancer cells overexpressing the folate receptor. Then, once inside a cell, the drug is preferentially released within tumor cells due to their high levels of endogenous of glutathione, required for releasing DOX through cleavage of a disulfide linker. Interestingly, once free DOX is loaded onto the nanodiamond, it can also evade resistance mechanisms that use protein pumps to remove drugs from the cytoplasm. This nanodrug, used in an in vivo model with local injection of drugs, effectively inhibits tumor growth with fewer side effects than direct injection of free DOX, providing a potentially powerful platform to improve therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials have attracted researchers in pharmaceutical applications due to their outstanding properties and flexible dimensional structures. Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) have electrical properties, high thermal surface area, and high cellular internalization, making them suitable for drug and gene delivery, antioxidants, bioimaging, biosensing, and tissue engineering applications. There are various types of carbon nanomaterials including graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, nanodiamond, quantum dots and many more that have interesting applications in the future. The functionalization of the carbon nanomaterial surface could modify its chemical and physical properties, as well as improve drug loading capacity, biocompatibility, suppress immune response and have the ability to direct drug delivery to the targeted site. Carbon nanomaterials could also be fabricated into composites with proteins and drugs to reduce toxicity and increase effectiveness in the pharmaceutical field. Thus, carbon nanomaterials are very effective for applications in pharmaceutical or biomedical systems. This review will demonstrate the extraordinary properties of nanocarbon materials that can be used in pharmaceutical applications.

Synergy of nanodiamond-doxorubicin conjugates and PD-L1 blockade effectively turns tumor-associated macrophages against tumor cells. J Nanobiotechnology 2021; 19:268. [PMID: 34488792 PMCID: PMC8422639 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-021-01017-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment. Turning the TAMs against their host tumor cells is an intriguing therapeutic strategy particularly attractive for patients with immunologically “cold” tumors. This concept was mechanistically demonstrated on in vitro human and murine lung cancer cells and their corresponding TAM models through combinatorial use of nanodiamond-doxorubicin conjugates (Nano-DOX) and a PD-L1 blocking agent BMS-1. Nano-DOX are an agent previously proved to be able to stimulate tumor cells’ immunogenicity and thereby reactivate the TAMs into the anti-tumor M1 phenotype. Results Nano-DOX were first shown to stimulate the tumor cells and the TAMs to release the cytokine HMGB1 which, regardless of its source, acted through the RAGE/NF-κB pathway to induce PD-L1 in the tumor cells and PD-L1/PD-1 in the TAMs. Interestingly, Nano-DOX also induced NF-κB-dependent RAGE expression in the tumor cells and thus reinforced HMGB1’s action thereon. Then, BMS-1 was shown to enhance Nano-DOX-stimulated M1-type activation of TAMs both by blocking Nano-DOX-induced PD-L1 in the TAMs and by blocking tumor cell PD-L1 ligation with TAM PD-1. The TAMs with enhanced M1-type repolarization both killed the tumor cells and suppressed their growth. BMS-1 could also potentiate Nano-DOX’s action to suppress tumor cell growth via blocking of Nano-DOX-induced PD-L1 therein. Finally, Nano-DOX and BMS-1 achieved synergistic therapeutic efficacy against in vivo tumor grafts in a TAM-dependent manner. Conclusions PD-L1/PD-1 upregulation mediated by autocrine and paracrine activation of the HMGB1/RAGE/NF-κB signaling is a key response of lung cancer cells and their TAMs to stress, which can be induced by Nano-DOX. Blockade of Nano-DOX-induced PD-L1, both in the cancer cells and the TAMs, achieves enhanced activation of TAM-mediated anti-tumor response. Graphic abstract ![]()
