Abstract
Cancer treatments, including traditional chemotherapy, have failed to cure human malignancies. The main reasons for the failure of these treatments are the inevitable drug resistance and serious side effects. In clinical treatment, only 5 percent of the 50 percent of cancer patients who are able to receive conventional chemotherapy survive. Because of these factors, being able to develop a drug and treatment that can target only cancer cells without affecting normal cells remains a big challenge. Since the special properties of cisplatin in the treatment of malignant tumors were accidentally discovered in the last century, metal anticancer drugs have become a research hotspot. Metal anticancer drugs have unique pharmaceutical properties, such as ruthenium metal drugs with their high selectivity, low toxicity, easy absorption by tumor tissue, excretion, and so on. In recent years, efficient and low-toxicity metal antitumor complexes have been synthesized. In this paper, the scientific literature on platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), gold (Au), and other anticancer complexes was reviewed by referring to a large amount of relevant literature at home and abroad.

JOURNAL OF NANOPARTICLE RESEARCH : AN INTERDISCIPLINARY FORUM FOR NANOSCALE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2023; 25:43. [PMID: 36875184 PMCID: PMC9970140 DOI: 10.1007/s11051-023-05690-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 74] [Impact Index Per Article: 74.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Rapidly growing interest in using nanoparticles (NPs) for biomedical applications has increased concerns about their safety and toxicity. In comparison with bulk materials, NPs are more chemically active and toxic due to the greater surface area and small size. Understanding the NPs' mechanism of toxicity, together with the factors influencing their behavior in biological environments, can help researchers to design NPs with reduced side effects and improved performance. After overviewing the classification and properties of NPs, this review article discusses their biomedical applications in molecular imaging and cell therapy, gene transfer, tissue engineering, targeted drug delivery, Anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, cancer treatment, wound healing, and anti-bacterial applications. There are different mechanisms of toxicity of NPs, and their toxicity and behaviors depend on various factors, which are elaborated on in this article. More specifically, the mechanism of toxicity and their interactions with living components are discussed by considering the impact of different physiochemical parameters such as size, shape, structure, agglomeration state, surface charge, wettability, dose, and substance type. The toxicity of polymeric, silica-based, carbon-based, and metallic-based NPs (including plasmonic alloy NPs) have been considered separately.

Abstract
Codelivery of chemotherapeutics via nanomaterials has attracted much attention over the last decades due to improved drug delivery to tumor tissues, decreased systemic effects, and increased therapeutic efficacies. High porosities, large pore volumes and surface areas, and tunable structures have positioned metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as promising drug delivery systems (DDSs). In particular, nanoscale Zr-linked MOFs such as MOF-808 offer notable advantages for biomedical applications such as high porosity, good stability, and biocompatibility. In this study, we report efficient dual drug delivery of floxuridine (FUDR) and carboplatin (CARB) loaded in MOF-808 nanoparticles to cancer cells. The nanoparticles were further functionalized by a poly(acrylic acid-mannose acrylamide) (PAAMAM) glycopolymer coating to obtain a highly selective DDS in cancer cells and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy. While MOF-808 was found to enhance the individual therapeutic effects of FUDR and CARB toward cancerous cells, combining FUDR and CARB was seen to cause a synergistic effect, further enhancing the cytotoxicity of the free drugs. Enhancement of CARB loading and therefore cytotoxicity of the CARB-loaded MOFs could be induced through a modified activation protocol, while coating of MOF-808 with the PAAMAM glycopolymer increased the uptake of the nanoparticles in cancer cells used in the study and offered a particularly significant selective drug delivery with high cytotoxicity in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. These results show how the enhancement of cytotoxicity is possible through both nanovector delivery and synergistic treatment, and that MOF-808 is a viable candidate for future drug delivery studies.

Abstract
Polymeric microspheres (MSs) and nanospheres (NSs) composed of synthetic and natural polymers can encapsulate anticancer drugs, among other therapeutics, acting as drug carriers to release them at controlled rates over long periods of time. These carriers present several potential advantages including simple preparation methods, suitable control over the sustained release of medications or stem cells, triggered release resulting from stimulus-responsive delivery, improved physical properties such as porosity and stable scaffolds for tissue engineering, and possible applications as microreactors and nanoreactors compared to conventional drug delivery systems. Moreover, many of these factors can impact drug release rates by polymeric MSs and NSs. Herein, drug delivery systems based on polymeric MSs and NSs are described and compared according to recent advances and challenges, and poignant thoughts on what the field needs to progress are presented.

Abstract
Nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity and multidrug resistance in tumor cells can result from platinum-based anticancer (PBA) agents which can be reduced by nano formulations. Recently, novel formulations based on liposomes and cubosomes have been described as efficient strategies to overcome nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, neurotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, hematological toxicities, hepatotoxicity and gastrointestinal toxicity as well as multidrug resistance. The co-delivery of anticancer agents concomitant with PBAs via biocompatible and biodegradable smart liposomes and cubosomes can augment therapeutic results of chemotherapy as well as radiotherapy owing to their high accessibility of surface and internal modification. For this purpose, surface, bilayer or core sections of these formulations can be functionalized by pure PBAs or modified PBAs. In this review, recent significant advances and challenges related to various liposomal and cubosomal formulations of PBA are presented in order to emphasize suitable formulations for anticancer applications with critical thoughts provided on how the field can progress.
