Abstract
Neurological disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases and nervous system tumours affect more than one billion people throughout the globe. The physiological sensitivity of the nervous tissue limits the application of invasive therapies and leads to poor treatment and prognosis. One promising solution that has generated attention is Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which can potentially revolutionise the treatment landscape for neurological disorders. PDT attracted substantial recognition for anticancer efficacy and drug conjugation for targeted drug delivery. This review thoroughly explained the basic principles of PDT, scientific interventions and advances in PDT, and their complicated mechanism in treating brain-related pathologies. Furthermore, the merits and demerits of PDT in the context of neurological disorders offer a well-rounded perspective on its feasibility and challenges. In conclusion, this review encapsulates the significant potential of PDT in transforming the treatment landscape for neurological disorders, emphasising its role as a non-invasive, targeted therapeutic approach with multifaceted applications.

Photoactive imaging and therapy for colorectal cancer using a CEA-Affimer conjugated Foslip nanoparticle. NANOSCALE 2024; 16:7185-7199. [PMID: 38506227 PMCID: PMC10993305 DOI: 10.1039/d3nr04118b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
Theranostic nanoparticles hold promise for simultaneous imaging and therapy in colorectal cancer. Carcinoembryonic antigen can be used as a target for these nanoparticles because it is overexpressed in most colorectal cancers. Affimer reagents are synthetic proteins capable of binding specific targets, with additional advantages over antibodies for targeting. We fabricated silica nanoparticles using a water-in-oil microemulsion technique, loaded them with the photosensitiser Foslip, and functionalised the surface with anti-CEA Affimers to facilitate fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy of colorectal cancer. CEA-specific fluorescence imaging and phototoxicity were quantified in colorectal cancer cell lines and a LS174T murine xenograft colorectal cancer model. Anti-CEA targeted nanoparticles exhibited CEA-specific fluorescence in the LoVo, LS174T and HCT116 cell lines when compared to control particles (p < 0.0001). No toxicity was observed in LS174T cancer mouse xenografts or other organs. Following photo-irradiation, the anti-CEA targeted particles caused significant cell death in LoVo (60%), LS174T (90%) and HCT116 (70%) compared to controls (p < 0.0001). Photodynamic therapy (PDT) at 24 h in vivo showed a 4-fold reduction in tumour volume compared to control mouse xenografts (p < 0.0001). This study demonstrates the efficacy of targeted fluorescence imaging and PDT using Foslip nanoparticles conjugated to anti-CEA Affimer nanoparticles in in vitro and in vivo colorectal cancer models.

Pharmaceutical Approach to Develop Novel Photosensitizer Nanoformulation: An Example of Design and Characterization Rationale of Chlorophyll α Derivative. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:126. [PMID: 38258135 PMCID: PMC10818748 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16010126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, we described physico-chemical properties of novel nanoformulation of photosensitizer-pyropheophorbide α 17-diethylene glycol ester (XL) (chlorophyll α derivative), revealing insights into antitumor activity and maintaining quality, meeting the pharmaceutical approach of new nanoformulation design. Our formulation, based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles, increased XL solubility and selective tumor-targeted accumulation. In our research, we revealed, for the first time, that XL binding to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) enhances XL photophysical activity, providing the rationale for PVA application as a stabilizer for nanoformulations. Results of FTIR, DSC, and XRD revealed the physical interactions between XL and excipients, including PVA, indicating that the encapsulation maintained XL binding to PVA. The encapsulated XL exhibited higher photophysical activity compared to non-encapsulated substance, which can be attributed to the influence of residual PVA. Gamma-irradiation led to degradation of XL; however, successful sterilization of the samples was achieved through the filtration. Importantly, the encapsulated and sterilized XL retained cytotoxicity against both 2D and 3D tumor cell models, demonstrating the potential of the formulated NP-XL for photodynamic therapy applications, but lacked the ability to reactivate epigenetically silenced genes. These findings provide valuable insights into the design and characterization of PLGA-based nanoparticles for the encapsulation of photosensitizers.

Abstract
Topical administration of anti-cancer drugs along with photodynamically active molecules is a non-invasive approach, which stands to be a promising modality for treating aggressive cutaneous melanomas with the added advantage of high patient compliance. However, the efficiency of delivering drugs topically is limited by several factors, such as penetration of the drug across skin layers at the tumor site and limited light penetrability. In this study, curcumin, an active anti-cancer agent, and chlorin e6, a photoactivable molecule, were encapsulated into lipidic nanoparticles that produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) when activated at 665 nm by near-infrared (NIR) light. The optimized lipidic nanoparticle containing curcumin and chlorin e6 exhibited a particle size of less than 100 nm. The entrapment efficiency for both molecules was found to be 81%. The therapeutic efficacy of the developed formulation was tested on B16F10 and A431 cell lines via cytotoxicity evaluation, combination index, cellular uptake, nuclear staining, DNA fragmentation, ROS generation, apoptosis, and cell cycle assays under NIR irradiation (665 nm). Co-delivering curcumin and chlorin e6 exhibited higher cellular uptake, better cancer growth inhibition, and pronounced apoptotic events compared to the formulation having the free drug alone. The study results depicted that topical application of this ROS-generating dual-drug-loaded lipidic nanoparticles incorporated in SEPINEO gel achieved better permeation (80 ± 2.45%) across the skin, and exhibited the improved skin retention and a synergistic effect as well. The present work introduces photo-triggered ROS-generating dual-drug-based lipidic nanoparticles, which are simple and efficient to develop and exhibit synergistic therapeutic effects against cutaneous melanoma.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an alternative treatment mainly for cancer but also for bacterial infections. This treatment dates back to 1900 when a German medical school graduate Oscar Raab found a photodynamic effect while doing research for his doctoral dissertation with Professor Hermann von Tappeiner. Unexpectedly, Raab revealed that the toxicity of acridine on paramecium depends on the intensity of light in his laboratory. Photodynamic therapy is therefore based on the administration of a photosensitizer with subsequent light irradiation within the absorption maxima of this substance followed by reactive oxygen species formation and finally cell death. Although this treatment is not a novelty, there is an endeavor for various modifications to the therapy. For example, selectivity and efficiency of the photosensitizer, as well as irradiation with various types of light sources are still being modified to improve final results of the photodynamic therapy. The main aim of this review is to summarize anticancer and antibacterial modifications, namely various compounds, approaches, and techniques, to enhance the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is traditionally ineffective for deeply embedded tumors due to the poor penetration depth of the excitation light. Chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) has emerged as a promising mode of PDT without external light. To date, related research has frequently used endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) and oxygen (O2 ) inside the solid tumor microenvironment to trigger CRET-mediated PDT. Unfortunately, this significantly restricts treatment efficacy and the development of further biomedical applications because of the limited amounts of endogenous H2 O2 and O2 . Herein, a nanohybrid (mSiO2 /CaO2 /CPPO/Ce6: mSCCC) nanoparticle (NP) is designed to achieve synergistic CRET-mediated PDT and calcium (Ca2+ )-overload-mediated therapy. The calcium peroxide (CaO2 ) formed inside mesoporous SiO2 (mSC) with the inclusion of the chemiluminescent agent (CPPO) and photosensitizer (Ce6) self-supplies H2 O2 , O2 , and Ca2+ allowing for the subsequent treatments. The Ce6 in mSCCC NPs is excited by chemical energy in situ following the supply of H2 O2 and O2 to produce singlet oxygen (1 O2 ). The nanohybrid NPs are coated with stearic acid to avoid decomposition during blood circulation through contact with aqueous environment. This nanohybrid shows promising performance in the generation of 1 O2 for external light-free PDT and the release of Ca2+ ions for Ca2+ -overloaded therapy against orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Melanoma, as a tumor cell derived from melanocyte transformation, has the characteristics of malignant proliferation, high metastasis, rapid recurrence, and a low survival rate. Traditional therapy has many shortcomings, including drug side effects and poor patient compliance, and so on. Therefore, the development of an effective treatment is necessary. Currently, nanotechnologies are a promising oncology treatment strategy because of their ability to effectively deliver drugs and other bioactive molecules to targeted tissues with low toxicity, thereby improving the clinical efficacy of cancer therapy. In this review, the application of nanotechnology in the treatment of melanoma is reviewed and discussed. First, the pathogenesis and molecular targets of melanoma are elucidated, and the current clinical treatment strategies and deficiencies of melanoma are then introduced. Following this, we discuss the main features of developing efficient nanosystems and introduce the latest reports in the literature on nanoparticles for the treatment of melanoma. Subsequently, we review and discuss the application of nanoparticles in chemotherapeutic agents, immunotherapy, mRNA vaccines, and photothermal therapy, as well as the potential of nanotechnology in the early diagnosis of melanoma.

Abstract
Screening colonoscopy is crucial in reducing the mortality of colorectal cancer. However, detecting adenomas against the backdrop of an inflamed mucosa (e.g. in ulcerative colitis) remains exceedingly difficult. Therefore, we aimed to improve neoplastic lesion detection by employing a fluorescence-based endoscopic approach. We used the well-established murine AOM/DSS model to induce inflammation-driven carcinogenesis in the colon. In our diagnostic approach, we evaluated Chlorin e6 polyvinylpyrrolidone (Ce6-PVP)-based fluorescence endoscopy in comparison to standard white-light endoscopy. A specialized pathologist then analyzed the histology of the detected lesions. Complementary in vitro studies were performed using human cell lines and a murine organoid system. Ce6-PVP-based fluorescence endoscopy had an improved detection rate of 100% (8/8) in detecting high-grade dysplasias and carcinomas over white-light detection alone with 75% (6/8). Trade-off for this superior detection rate was an increased rate of false positive lesions with an increase in the false discovery rate from 45% for white-light endoscopy to 81% for fluorescence endoscopy. We demonstrate in a proof-of-concept study that Ce6-PVP-based fluorescence endoscopy is a highly sensitive red flag technology to identify biopsy-worthy lesions in the colon.

Broad-spectrum antibacterial and pro-regenerative effects of photoactivated Photodithazine-Pluronic F127-Chitosan polymer system: In vivo study. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2020; 210:111954.

Abstract
Emerging global danger of multidrug resistant microbes makes it essential to explore new approaches to treat infections. We studied antibacterial and pro-regenerative effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) performed with water solutions of photodithazine and its complexes with Pluronic F127 and chitosan in rat model of full thickness wound (n = 24) infected by an associated Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria culture. Laboratory rats were exposed to PDT 24 and 72 h after the injury. Exudate samples were collected before and after PDT for a microbiological study. Autopsy tissues were excised and fixed in formalin on day 4 of the experiment. Fixed tissues were processed and poured into paraffin. Paraffin sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and studied by an experienced pathologist. Microbiological analysis revealed that the photoactivation of photodithazine and its complexes suppressed the associated microflora in vivo and inhibited suppurative inflammation in the wounds. The triple Photodithazine-Pluronic F127-Chitosan system possessed the highest antibacterial activity. The morphological study revealed that PDT with photodithazine polymer complexes accelerated wound healing, promoted restoration of microcirculation, facilitated proliferation of fibroblast and vessels and stimulated collagen synthesis. The Photodithazine-Pluronic F127-Chitosan complex may be successfully applied for PDT to prevent and treat suppurative inflammatory diseases of the skin and soft tissues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Natural nanostructure materials have been involved in antitumor drug delivery systems due to their biocompatibility, biodegradation, and bioactive properties. METHODS These materials have contributed to advanced drug delivery systems in the roles of both bioactive compounds and delivery nanocarriers. Fucoidan, a valuable ocean material used in drug delivery systems, has been exploited in research on cancer and a variety of other diseases. RESULTS Although the uniqueness, structure, properties, and health benefits of fucoidan have been mentioned in various prominent reviews, current developments and designs of fucoidan-based formulations still need to be assessed to further develop an effective anticancer therapy. In this review, current important formulations using fucoidan as a functional material and as an anticancer agent will be discussed. This article will also provide a brief principle of the methods that incorporate functional nanostructure materials in formulations exploiting fucoidan. CONCLUSION Current research and future perspectives on the use of fucoidan in anticancer therapy will advance innovative and important products for clinical uses.

[PMID: 32050104 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2020.101685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2019] [Revised: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 02/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Gliosarcoma is a highly aggressive malignant neoplasm and a histopathological variant of wild-type glioblastoma multiforme isocitrate dehydrogenase (HDI). The current standard treatment consists of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical resection, however, despite advances in these techniques, the patient's prognosis remains unfavorable. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive technique that has been highlighted as an alternative form of cancer treatment because it does not present the side effects associated with systemic treatments. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cell viability and the intracellular localization of photosensitizer (PS) chlorin e6 Fotoenticine in 9L/lacZ cells. Therefore, tests of cytotoxicity, morphology, and location of PS were performed. The viability test showed no cytotoxicity in the dark at all concentrations and 100 % cell death at the highest concentrations after PDT. The mitochondrial activity test showed a reduction in all groups after PDT. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was higher in the PDT groups and dependent on the PS concentration. Morphological analysis after PDT showed apparent cytoplasmic destruction in all the tested concentrations, with the presence of rounded cells due to the loss of their extensions and absence of nuclear alterations. The PS accumulation in the mitochondria and cytoskeleton was observed by the confocal microscopy; however, there is no evidence of its internalization in the lysosomes. It was concluded that PDT with Fotoenticine is a promising alternative therapy showing decreased cell viability, increased ROS production and adequate localization to trigger cell death.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising antitumor strategy under NIR light irradiation to kill cancer cells. Mitochondria has a critical function in sustaining cellular viability and death, which is the ideal organelle for PDT. Here, we reported a tetraphenylporphine (TPP)-conjugated amphiphilic copolymer and an iodinated boron dipyrromethene photosensitizer (BDPI) with high singlet oxygen yield to form nanoparticles (PBDPI-TPP), which could realize mitochondria-targeting and improve the NIR imaging-guided PDT. The as-prepared mitochondria-targeting nanoplatform could show effective subcellular localization and bring about significant irreversible mitochondrial injury for enhanced PDT. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that the mitochondria-targeting PDT system could achieve a remarkable therapeutic effect, indicating that it is a promising nanoplatform for NIR imaging-guided PDT in cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to fabricate hydrogel as a photosensitizer (PS) for photodynamic therapy. Chlorin e6 (Ce6)-fucoidan/alginates@gellam gum (Ce6-Fu/AL@GG)-based hydrogel was fabricated and characterised in terms of morphology and functional groups. MTT assay was used to check toxicity and also performed scratch assay for wound healing property of Ce6-Fu/AL@GGH. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the existence of physical interactions between polysaccharides. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis confirmed a decrease in the thermal stability of the fabricated hydrogel. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images demonstrated porous matrixes representing homogeneous dispersion of nanoparticles in the hydrogel. Cytotoxicity tests revealed that a decrease in the cell viability occurred in PDT after 48 h treatment. Both Ce6 and laser irradiation induced the HT-29 apoptotic effect that was mediated by intracellular ROS generation and mitochondrial damage. The laser-treated hydrogel was effective in inhibiting HT-29 cell growth. Ce6-Fu/AL@GG hydrogel can be a promising platform for PDT on cancer treatment.
