Theranostics Using MCM-41-Based Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles: Integrating Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Novel Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer Treatment. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8097. [PMID: 39125669 PMCID: PMC11311303 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25158097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Advanced breast cancer remains a significant oncological challenge, requiring new approaches to improve clinical outcomes. This study investigated an innovative theranostic agent using the MCM-41-NH2-DTPA-Gd3⁺-MIH nanomaterial, which combined MRI imaging for detection and a novel chemotherapy agent (MIH 2.4Bl) for treatment. The nanomaterial was based on the mesoporous silica type, MCM-41, and was optimized for drug delivery via functionalization with amine groups and conjugation with DTPA and complexation with Gd3+. MRI sensitivity was enhanced by using gadolinium-based contrast agents, which are crucial in identifying early neoplastic lesions. MIH 2.4Bl, with its unique mesoionic structure, allows effective interactions with biomolecules that facilitate its intracellular antitumoral activity. Physicochemical characterization confirmed the nanomaterial synthesis and effective drug incorporation, with 15% of MIH 2.4Bl being adsorbed. Drug release assays indicated that approximately 50% was released within 8 h. MRI phantom studies demonstrated the superior imaging capability of the nanomaterial, with a relaxivity significantly higher than that of the commercial agent Magnevist. In vitro cellular cytotoxicity assays, the effectiveness of the nanomaterial in killing MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells was demonstrated at an EC50 concentration of 12.6 mg/mL compared to an EC50 concentration of 68.9 mg/mL in normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs). In vivo, MRI evaluation in a 4T1 syngeneic mouse model confirmed its efficacy as a contrast agent. This study highlighted the theranostic capabilities of MCM-41-NH2-DTPA-Gd3⁺-MIH and its potential to enhance breast cancer management.

Synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy using gold nanorods supported on thiol-functionalized mesoporous silica for lung cancer treatment. Sci Rep 2024; 14:4373. [PMID: 38388553 PMCID: PMC10884026 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-54778-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Cancer therapy necessitates the development of novel and effective treatment modalities to combat the complexity of this disease. In this project, we propose a synergistic approach by combining chemo-photothermal treatment using gold nanorods (AuNRs) supported on thiol-functionalized mesoporous silica, offering a promising solution for enhanced lung cancer therapy. To begin, mesoporous MCM-41 was synthesized using a surfactant-templated sol-gel method, chosen for its desirable porous structure, excellent biocompatibility, and non-toxic properties. Further, thiol-functionalized MCM-41 was achieved through a simple grafting process, enabling the subsequent synthesis of AuNRs supported on thiol-functionalized MCM-41 (AuNR@S-MCM-41) via a gold-thiol interaction. The nanocomposite was then loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX), resulting in AuNR@S-MCM-41-DOX. Remarkably, the nanocomposite exhibited pH/NIR dual-responsive drug release behaviors, facilitating targeted drug delivery. In addition, it demonstrated exceptional biocompatibility and efficient internalization into A549 lung cancer cells. Notably, the combined photothermal-chemo therapy by AuNR@S-MCM-41-DOX exhibited superior efficacy in killing cancer cells compared to single chemo- or photothermal therapies. This study showcases the potential of the AuNR@S-MCM-41-DOX nanocomposite as a promising candidate for combined chemo-photothermal therapy in lung cancer treatment. The innovative integration of gold nanorods, thiol-functionalized mesoporous silica, and pH/NIR dual-responsive drug release provides a comprehensive and effective therapeutic approach for improved outcomes in lung cancer therapy. Future advancements based on this strategy hold promise for addressing the challenges posed by cancer and transforming patient care.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a biodegradable, biocompatible cationic polysaccharide based natural polymer with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Hydrogels made from CS have been found their applications in wound healing, tissue regeneration and drug delivery. Although, mucoadhesive properties resulted from the polycationic nature of CS, in hydrogel form amines are engaged in interactions with water leading to decrease in mucoadhesive properties. In case of injury, presence of elevated level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has inspired many drug delivery platform to conjugate ROS responsive linkers for on demand drug delivery. In this report we have conjugated a reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsive thioketal (TK) linker and nucleobase thymine (Thy) with CS. Cryogel from this doubly functionalized polymer CS-Thy-TK was prepared through crosslinking with sodium alginate. Inosine was loaded on the scaffold and studied for its release under oxidative condition. We anticipated that the presence of thymine shall retain the mucoadhesive nature of the CS-Thy-TK polymer in hydrogel form and when placed at the site of injury, due to the presence of excessive ROS at inflammatory condition, loaded drug shall release due to degradation of the linker. Porous cryogel scaffold was prepared via chemical crosslinking of amine functional group of chitosan with carboxylic acid containing polysaccharide sodium alginate. The cryogel was evaluated for porosity (FE-SEM), rheology, swelling, degradation, mucoadhesive properties and biocompatibility. Resulted scaffold was found to be porous with average pore size of 107 ± 23 μm, biocompatible, hemocompatible and possesses improved mucoadhesive property (mucin binding efficiency of 19.54 %) which was found to be 4 times better as compared to chitosan (4.53 %). The cumulative drug release found to be better in the presence of H2O2 (~90 %) when compared to that of PBS alone (~60-70 %). Therefore, the modified CS-Thy-TK polymer may hold potential as interesting scaffold in case of conditions associated with elevated ROS level such as injury and tumor.

Abstract
An innovative and proficient inorganic-organic nanohybrid was synthesized by using amine modified MCM-41 as an inorganic precursor combined with organic moiety, a derivative of chitosan i.e. chitosan succinate through amide bond. These nanohybrids can be used in diverse applications due to potential combination of desired properties of inorganic and organic components. The nanohybrid was characterized by FTIR, TGA, small angle powder XRD, zeta potential, particle size distribution, BET, proton NMR and 13C NMR techniques to confirm its formation. The synthesized hybrid was loaded with curcumin drug to check its potential application for controlled drug release, showing 80 % drug release in acidic medium (i.e. pH -5.0), while physiological pH -7.4 shows only 25 % release. The encapsulation efficiency of nanohybrid is 87.24 %. The results of antibacterial performances are demonstrated in terms of ZOI (zone of inhibition) which depicts that hybrid material shows better ZOI in gram negative (E. coli) than for gram positive (B. subtilis) bacteria. Nanohybrid was also tested for the antioxidant activity by using two different methods (DPPH and ABTS) radical scavenging methods. The ability of nano-hybrid to scavenge DPPH radicals was found 65 %, and ability to scavenge ABTS radicals was 62.47 %.

Abstract
The present study aims at synthesizing a palladium complex with a thiophene-carboimine ligand, supported on FSM-16 as a mesoporous silica support. Firstly, the prepared FSM-16 was modified using 3-aminopropyl group. The imine bond was subsequently formed by condensation of FSM-16-propyl amine with thiophene-2-carbaldehyde. Finally, the imine/thiophene-FSM-16 reacted with PdCl2 to form PdCl2-imine/thiophene-FSM-16. The structural and physicochemical properties of the prepared nanocomposite were characterized using FT-IR, TEM, XRD, FE-SEM, EDS, BET, and TGA analyses. PdCl2-imine/thiophene-FSM-16 exhibited efficient catalytic activity in the synthesis of indeno-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives via a new three-component reaction between indan-1,3-dione, aromatic aldehydes and 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole in water as the green solvent. Significantly, the heterogeneous catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused in another reaction.
