Abstract
Cancer, with its diversity, heterogeneity, and complexity, is a significant contributor to global morbidity, disability, and mortality, highlighting the necessity for transformative treatment approaches. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has aroused continuous interest as a viable alternative to conventional cancer treatments that encounter drug resistance. Nanotechnology has brought new advances in medicine and has shown great potential in drug delivery and cancer treatment. For precise and efficient therapeutic utilization of such a tumor therapeutic approach with high spatiotemporal selectivity and minimal invasiveness, the carrier-free noncovalent nanoparticles (NPs) based on chemo-photodynamic combination therapy is essential. Utilizing natural products as the foundation for nanodrug development offers unparalleled advantages, including exceptional pharmacological activity, easy functionalization/modification, and well biocompatibility. The natural-product-based, carrier-free, noncovalent NPs revealed excellent synergistic anticancer activity in comparison with free photosensitizers and free bioactive natural products, representing an alternative and favorable combination therapeutic avenue to improve therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a comprehensive summary of current strategies and representative application examples of carrier-free noncovalent NPs in the past decade based on natural products (such as paclitaxel, 10-hydroxycamptothecin, doxorubicin, etoposide, combretastatin A4, epigallocatechin gallate, and curcumin) for tumor chemo-photodynamic combination therapy. We highlight the insightful design and synthesis of the smart carrier-free NPs that aim to enhance PDT efficacy. Meanwhile, we discuss the future challenges and potential opportunities associated with these NPs to provide new enlightenment, spur innovative ideas, and facilitate PDT-mediated clinical transformation.

Abstract
Drug polymorphism is an important factor affecting the drugs quality and clinical efficacy. Therefore, great attention should be paid to the crystal analysis of drugs with their researching and evaluating part. With the booming development of Raman spectroscopy in recent years, more and more crystal analysis investigations were based on vibrational spectroscopy. This review mainly discussed the qualitative and quantitative analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and pharmaceutical preparation with Raman spectroscopy. On basis of the determination of the vibration mode of drug molecules and the analysis of their chemical structure, this method had the advantages of universal, non-destructive, fast determination, low samples and cost, etc. This review provides theoretical and technical support for crystal structure, which are worth popularizing. It is expected that it will be helpful to relevant government management institutions, pharmaceutical scientific research institutions and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Eur J Pharm Sci 2021; 160:105745. [PMID: 33549707 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2021.105745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Revised: 01/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Podophyllotoxin is a natural occurring aryltetralin lignin with pronounced cytotoxic activity. However, its clinical application for cancer treatment has been blocked due to its poor water solubility and selectivity. In this work, biotin as a tumor specific ligand was coupled with β-cyclodextrin and the resulting biotin modified β-cyclodextrin was used to complex with podophyllotoxin to improve its aqueous solubility and tumor selectivity. The solubility of β-cyclodextrin was greatly enhanced(>16 times) by conjugating with biotin. podophyllotoxin/ mono-6-biotin-amino-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex was prepared by freeze-drying method and the complex behavior between mono-6-biotin-amino-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin and podophyllotoxin was studied by water solubility, phase solubility, Job's plot, UV spectroscopy, Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Rotating-frame Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy, Powder X-ray diffraction and Scanning electron microscopy. The solubility of podophyllotoxin/ mono-6-biotin-amino-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin complex was greatly improved(9 times) compared with Podophyllotoxin. The stability constant of podophyllotoxin/ mono-6-biotin-amino-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin complex (Ks= 415.29 M-1) was 3.2 times that of podophyllotoxin/β-cyclodextrin complex. The possible inclusion mode of podophyllotoxin/mono-6-biotin-amino-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin complex was inferred from the Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Rotating-frame Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy. The cellular uptake study showed that the introduction of biotin increased the cellular uptake of rhodamine-B/mono-6-biotin-amino-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin complex. Moreover, cell cytotoxicity study showed that the antitumor activity of podophyllotoxin/ mono-6-biotin-amino-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin complex was more potent than podophyllotoxin/β-cyclodextrin complex and free podophyllotoxin. The superior water solubility and enhanced cytotoxicity suggested that the mono-6-biotin-amino-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin associated inclusion complex might be a potential and promising delivery system for hydrophobic chemotherapeutics such as podophyllotoxin.
