Abstract
Combination chemotherapy has shown considerable promise for cancer therapy. However, the hydrophobicity of chemotherapeutic agents and the difficulties of precise drug co-administration severely hinder the development of combination chemotherapy. Herein, we develop a polymeric drug delivery system (D-PTA-CD) to provide robust loading capacity, glutathione-responsive drug release, and precise combination therapy. The vehicle is prepared based on poly(thioctic acid) (PTA) polymers using DM1, a chemotherapeutic agent, as the initiator to endow the vehicle with cancer-inhibiting activity. β-cyclodextrins are incorporated into the side chains to enhance drug loading capacity via host-guest interactions. Attributing to the sufficient disulfide bond on the backbone, D-PTA-CD exhibits accelerated drug release triggered by elevated glutathione levels. Doxorubicin (DOX) and camptothecin (CPT) are encapsulated by D-PTA-CD to afford the combination chemotherapy nanoparticles (NP), DOX-NP, and CPT-NP, respectively, which exhibit significant synergetic anti-cancer effects, highlighting the enormous potential of D-PTA-CD as a versatile drug delivery platform for cancer combination chemotherapy.

ISOTHERMAL TITRATION CALORIMETRY (ITC) AS A PROMISING TOOL IN PHARMACEUTICAL NANOTECHNOLOGY. Int J Pharm 2023; 641:123063. [PMID: 37209790 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a technique for evaluating the thermodynamic profiles of connection between two molecules, allowing the experimental design of nanoparticles systems with drugs and/or biological molecules. Taking into account the relevance of ITC, we conducted, therefore, an integrative revision of the literature, from 2000 to 2023, on the main purposes of using this technique in pharmaceutical nanotechnology. The search were carried out in the Pubmed, Sciencedirect, Web of Science, and Scifinder databases using the descriptors "Nanoparticles", "Isothermal Titration Calorimetry", and "ITC". We have observed that the ITC technique has been increasingly used in pharmaceutical nanotechnology, seeking to understand the interaction mechanisms in the formation of nanoparticles. Additionally, to understand the behavior of nanoparticles with biological materials (proteins, DNA, cell membranes, among others), thereby helping to understand the behavior of nanocarriers in vivo studies. As a contribution, we intended to reveal the importance of ITC in the laboratory routine, which is itself a quick and easy technique to obtain relevant results that help to optimize the nanosystems formulation process.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems have good biocompatibiliy and low side effects for cancer treatment, but overcoming high efficiency of drug-loading and the drug-targeting controlled release still remains challenging. In this work, supramolecular vesicles, with pH-triggering effect, have been successfully constructed for drug delivery, which are fabricated by the complexation between a cationic pillar[5]arene (DAWP5) and a sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) in aqueous solution. Drug-loading and releasing results demonstrated that anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) could be loaded efficiently by such cationic vesicles in neutral condition, and the drug release could be controlled in the simulated weak acid environment of tumor cells. Moreover, the vesicles had low cytotoxicity to normal human cell (L02), while the DOX-loaded vesicles could significantly enhance the cytotoxicity of free DOX for normal cell L02 and four tested tumor cells (Hela, HepG2, MGC-803 and T24). Especially for HepG2, after 24 h incubation time, IC50 of DOX-loaded vesicles was only 0.79 μM, about 23% of that of DOX (3.43 μM). These results suggested that such novel vesicles have promising potential to construct nano-drug delivery systems for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Supramolecular encapsulation removes harmful substances from organisms has evolved into a new strategy. In this article, we prepared three supramolecular complexes of acyclic cucurbit[n]urils (ACBs) with uric acid (UA), and studied the inclusion behaviors of ACBs and UA by fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. Furthermore, we characterized the effect of the complexes of UA with ACBs on the expression of inflammatory biomarkers in human hepatoma HepG2 cell lines through C-reactive protein (CRP) western blot. The results showed UA molecules can be recognized by three ACBs with different binding constants, and ACBs successfully blocked the inflammatory stimulation of uric acid on HepG2 cell lines and inhibited the expression of the major inflammatory factor CRP by formations of complexes between UA and ACBs. This article proves that ACBs can efficiently reversing cytotoxicity of UA, which provides a new method to treating hyperuricemia disease.
