Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug, from the anthracycline class, which is genotoxic to neoplastic cells via a DNA intercalation mechanism. It is effective and universal; however, it also causes numerous side effects. The most serious of them are cardiotoxicity and a decrease in the number of myeloid cells. For this reason, targeted DOX delivery systems are desirable, since they would allow lowering the drug dose and therefore limiting systemic side effects. Recently, synthetic dyes, in particular Congo red (CR), have been proposed as possible DOX carriers. CR is a planar molecule, built of a central biphenyl moiety and two substituted naphthalene rings, connected with diazo bonds. In water, it forms elongated ribbon-shaped supramolecular structures, which are able to selectively interact with immune complexes. In our previous studies, we have shown that CR aggregates can intercalate DOX molecules. In this way, they preclude DOX precipitation in water solutions and increase its uptake by MCF7 breast cancer cells. In the present work, we further explore the interactions between DOX, CR, and their aggregates (CR/DOX) with phospholipid membranes. In addition to neutral molecules, the protonated doxorubicin form, DXP, is also studied. Molecular dynamics simulations are employed to study the transfer of CR, DOX, DXP, and their aggregates through POPC bilayers. Interactions of CR, DOX, and CR/DOX with model monolayers are studied with Langmuir trough measurements. This study shows that CR may support the transfer of doxorubicin molecules into the bilayer. Both electrostatic and van der Waals interactions with lipids are important in this respect. The former promote the initial stages of the insertion process, the latter keep guest molecules inside the bilayer.

Abstract
Dimensionality reduction approaches are commonly used for the deconvolution of high-dimensional metabolomics datasets into underlying core metabolic processes. However, current state-of-the-art methods are widely incapable of detecting nonlinearities in metabolomics data. Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) are a deep learning method designed to learn nonlinear latent representations which generalize to unseen data. Here, we trained a VAE on a large-scale metabolomics population cohort of human blood samples consisting of over 4500 individuals. We analyzed the pathway composition of the latent space using a global feature importance score, which demonstrated that latent dimensions represent distinct cellular processes. To demonstrate model generalizability, we generated latent representations of unseen metabolomics datasets on type 2 diabetes, acute myeloid leukemia, and schizophrenia and found significant correlations with clinical patient groups. Notably, the VAE representations showed stronger effects than latent dimensions derived by linear and non-linear principal component analysis. Taken together, we demonstrate that the VAE is a powerful method that learns biologically meaningful, nonlinear, and transferrable latent representations of metabolomics data.

Influence of lipophilicity of anthracyclines on the interactions with cholesterol in the model cell membranes - Langmuir monolayer and SEIRAS studies. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 211:112297.

Abstract
The interactions of anthracyclines with biological membranes strongly depend on the drug lipophilicity, which might also determine the specific affinity to cholesterol molecules. Therefore, in this work we show the studies concerning the effect of two selected anthracyclines, daunorubicin (DNR) and idarubicin (IDA) on simple models of healthy (DMPC:Chol 7:3) and cancer cells membranes with increased level of cholesterol (DMPC:Chol 3:7) as well as pure cholesterol monolayers prepared at the air-water interface and supported on gold surface. It has been shown that more lipophilic IDA is able to penetrate cholesterol monolayers more effectively than DNR due to the formation of IDA-cholesterol arrangements at the interface, as proved by the thermodynamic analysis of compression-expansion cycles. The increased interactions of IDA were also confirmed by the time measurements of pre-compressed monolayers exposed to drug solutions as well as grazing incidence X-ray diffraction studies demonstrating differences in the 2D organization of cholesterol monolayers. Langmuir studies of mixed DMPC:Chol membranes revealed the reorganization of molecules in the cancer cell models at the air-water interface at higher surface pressures due to the removal of DNR, while increased affinity of IDA towards cholesterol allowed this drug to penetrate the layer more efficiently without its removal. The SEIRAS spectra obtained for supported DMPC:Chol bilayers proved that IDA locates both in the ester group and in the acyl chain region of the bilayer, while DNR does not penetrate the membranes as deeply as IDA. The increased penetration of the mixed phospholipid layers by idarubicin might be attributed to the higher lipophilicity caused by the lack of methoxy group and resulting in a specific affinity towards cholesterol.

Abstract
We quantify directly here for the first time the extents of interactions of two different anthracycline drugs with pure and mixed lipid monolayers with respect to the surface pressure and elucidate differences in the resulting interaction mechanisms. The work concerns interactions of doxorubicin (DOx) and idarubicin (IDA) with monolayers of the zwitterionic DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) and negatively charged DMPS (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (sodium salt)) as well as a 7:3 mixture of the two lipids. These drugs are used in current cancer treatments, while the lipid systems were chosen as phosphocholines are the major lipid component of healthy cell membranes, and phosphoserines are the major lipid component that is externalized into the outer leaflet of cancerous cell membranes. It is shown that DOx interacts with DMPS monolayers to a greater extent than with DMPC monolayers by lower limits of a factor of 5 at a surface pressure of 10 mN/m and a factor of 12 at 30 mN/m. With increasing surface pressure, the small amount of drug (~0.3 µmol/m2) bound to DMPC monolayers is excluded from the interface, yet its interaction with DMPS monolayers is enhanced until there is even more drug (~3.2 µmol/m2) than lipid (~2.6 µmol/m2) at the interface. Direct evidence is presented for all systems studied that upon surface area compression lipid is reproducibly expelled from the monolayer, which we infer to be in the form of drug-lipid aggregates, yet the nature of adsorption of material back to the monolayer upon expansion is system-dependent. At 30 mN/m, most relevant to human physiology, the interactions of DOx and IDA are starkly different. For DOx, there is a conformational change in the interfacial layer driven by aggregation, resulting in the formation of lateral domains that have extended layers of drug. For the more lipophilic IDA, there is penetration of the drug into the hydrophobic acyl chain region of the monolayer and no indication of lateral segregation. In addition to the Langmuir technique, these advances were made as a result of direct measurements of the interfacial composition, structure and morphology using two different implementations of neutron reflectometry and Brewster angle microscopy. The results provide new insight into key processes that determine the uptake of drugs such as limited drug penetration through cell membranes by passive diffusion as well as activation of drug removal mechanisms related to multidrug resistance.

Abstract
Anthracyclines Doxorubicin, Epirubicin, Daunorubicin and Idarubicin are used to treat a variety of tumor types in the clinics, either alone or, most often, in combination therapies. While their cardiotoxicity is well known, the emergence of chemoresistance is also a major issue accounting for treatment discontinuation. Resistance to anthracyclines is associated to the acquisition of multidrug resistance conferred by overexpression of permeability glycoprotein-1 or other efflux pumps, by altered DNA repair, changes in topoisomerase II activity, cancer stemness and metabolic adaptations. This review further details the metabolic aspects of resistance to anthracyclines, emphasizing the contributions of glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway and nucleotide biosynthesis, glutathione, lipid metabolism and autophagy to the chemoresistant phenotype.

Abstract
To date, the translation of Au (III) complexes into chemotherapeutic agents has been hindered by their low stability under physiological conditions, a crucial parameter in drug development. In this study, we report an innovative four-step synthesis of a stable Au (III)-doxorubicin (DOX) complex, acting as a key constitutive component of doxorubicin-loaded PEG-coated nanoparticles (DOX IN-PEG-AuNPs). For therapeutic purposes, such AuNPs were then functionalized with the anti-Kv11.1 polyclonal antibody (pAb), which specifically recognizes the hERG1 channel that is overexpressed on the membrane of human pancreatic cancer cells. The nature of the interactions between DOX and Au (III) ions was probed by various analytical techniques (Raman spectroscopy, UV-vis, and (1)H NMR), which enabled studying the Au (III)-DOX interactions during AuNPs formation. The theoretical characterization of the vibrational bands and the electronic transitions of the Au (III)-DOX complex calculated through computational studies showed significant qualitative agreement with the experimental observations on AuNPs samples. Stability in physiological conditions and efficient drug loading (up to to 85 w/w %) were achieved, while drug release was strongly dependent on the structure of DOX IN-PEG-AuNPs and on the pH. Furthermore, the interactions among DOX, PEG, and Au (III) ions in DOX IN-PEG-AuNPs differed significantly from those found in polymer-modified AuNPs loaded with DOX by covalent linkage, referred to as DOX ON-PEG-AuNPs. In vitro experiments indeed demonstrated that such differences strongly influenced the therapeutic potential of AuNPs in pancreatic cancer treatment, with a significant increase of the DOX therapeutic index when complexed to Au (III) ions. Collectively, our study demonstrated that Au (III)-DOX complexes as building blocks of PEGylated AuNPs constitutes a promising approach to transform promising Au (III) complexes into real chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although DNA-directed alkylating agents and related compounds have been a mainstay in chemotherapeutic protocols due to their ability to readily interfere with the rapid mitotic progression of malignant cells, their clinical utility is limited by DNA repair mechanisms and immunosuppression. However, the same destructive nature of alkylation can be reciprocated at the cell surface using novel plasma membrane alkylating agents. RESULTS Plasma membrane alkylating agents have elicited long term survival in mammalian models challenged with carcinomas, sarcomas, and leukemias. Further, a specialized group of plasma membrane alkylating agents known as tetra-O-acetate haloacetamido carbohydrate analogs (Tet-OAHCs) potentiates a substantial leukocyte influx at the administration and primary tumor site, indicative of a potent immune response. The effects of plasma membrane alkylating agents may be further potentiated through the use of another novel class of chemotherapeutic agents, known as dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) inhibitors, since many cancer types are known to rely on the DHAP pathway for lipid synthesis. CONCLUSION Despite these compelling data, preliminary clinical trials for plasma membrane-directed agents have yet to be considered. Therefore, this review is intended for academics and clinicians to postulate a novel approach of chemotherapy; altering critical malignant cell signaling at the plasma membrane surface through alkylation, thereby inducing irreversible changes to functions needed for cell survival.

Abstract
Tetra-O-acetate haloacetamido carbohydrate analogs (Tet-OAHCs) are novel alkylating agents that appear to have alkylating activity at the plasma membrane, specificity against neoplastic cells, and may potentiate host leukocyte influx. This study sought to characterize the chemical attributes and in vivo activity of Tet-OAHCs. Four Tet-OAHCs were assessed for their partition coefficient and alkylating activity to determine cellular environments where adduct formation would be favorable. In vitro, IC50 values of all four Tet-OAHCs were determined against Ehrlich ascites murine carcinoma, as well as two leukemias (U937 human monocytic leukemia and L1210 murine lymphoid leukemia) to assess their cytotoxicity in multiple neoplastic cell lines. In vivo, B6D2F1 and CD2F1 mice were challenged i.p. with Ehrlich ascites carcinoma prior to, or after being treated with a single dose of one of the analogs. Finally, a quantitative comparison of host leukocyte influx between Tet-OAHCs and other alkylating agents was performed to confirm previous in vivo observations that the tetra-O-acetate carbohydrate moiety is important for inducing a host leukocyte response in murine models. The results can be summarized as follows: 1) Tet-OAHCs appear to demonstrate high alkylating activity in amphiphilic environments. 2) All four congeners have comparable in vitro cytotoxicities against the neoplastic cell lines examined. 3) The analogs demonstrate marked in vivo activity in both B6D2F1 and CD2F1 mice challenged with a lethal dose of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, and frequently produce long term survival at 60 days, which is not observed in simple halo derivatives or two currently approved antineoplastic agents (daunorubicin and mechlorethamine). These effects are observed when the agents are administered either before or after the tumor challenge. 4) The carbohydrate moiety appears to be important for potentiating host leukocyte influx, as Tet-OAHCs, but not other alkylating agents demonstrated such activity in vivo.

Abstract
In this study the interaction of the antitumoral drug daunorubicin with egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC) liposomes, used as a cell membrane model, was quantified by determination of the partition coefficient (K(p)). The liposome/aqueous-phase K(p) of daunorubicin was determined by derivative spectrophotometry and measurement of the zeta-potential. Mathematical models were used to fit the experimental data, enabling determination of K(p). In the partition of daunorubicin within the membrane both superficial electrostatic and inner hydrophobic interactions seem to be involved. The results are affected by the two types of interaction since spectrophotometry measures mainly hydrophobic interactions, while zeta-potential is affected by both interpenetration of amphiphilic charged molecules in the bilayer and superficial electrostatic interaction. Moreover, the degree of the partition of daunorubicin with the membrane changes with the drug concentration, due mainly to saturation factors. Derivative spectrophotometry and zeta-potential variation results, together with the broad range of concentrations studied, revealed the different types of interactions involved. The mathematical formalism applied also allowed quantification of the number of lipid molecules associated with one drug molecule.

Abstract
Understanding drug-membrane and drug-membrane protein interactions would be a crucial step towards understanding the action and biological properties of anthracyclines, as the cell membrane with its integral and peripheral proteins is the first barrier encountered by these drugs. In this paper, we briefly describe mitoxantrone-monolayer and mitoxantrone-bilayer interactions, focusing on the effect of mitoxantrone on the interactions between erythroid or nonerythroid spectrin with phosphatidylethanolamine-enriched mono- and bilayers. We found that mitoxantrone markedly modifies the interaction of erythroid and nonerythroid spectrins with phosphatidylethanolamine/phosphatidylcholine (PE/PC) monolayers. The change in delta pi induced by spectrins is several-fold larger in the presence of 72 nM mitoxantrone than in its absence: spectrin/mitoxantrone complexes induced a strong compression of the monolayer. Spin-labelling experiments showed that spectrin/mitoxantrone complexes caused significant changes in the order parameter measured using a 5'-doxyl stearate probe in the bilayer, but they practically did not affect the mobility of 16'-doxyl stearate. These results indicate close-to-surface interactions/penetrations without significant effect on the mid-region of the hydrophobic core of the bilayer. The obtained apparent equilibrium dissociation constants indicated relatively similar mitoxantrone-phospholipid and mitoxantrone-spectrin (erythroid and nonerythroid) binding affinities. These results might in part, explain the effect of mitoxantrone on spectrin distribution in the living cells.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate doxorubicin (DOX) percutaneous absorption and retention in the skin following iontophoresis. The convective flow contribution to the overall electrotransport of DOX was also elucidated for a non-ionic hydroxyethylcellulose gel and a cationic chitosan gel. Moreover, the cytotoxicity of DOX and its formulations, with and without low electrical current, was verified. It was observed that iontophoresis of DOX significantly increased the skin permeation and retention of the drug. In addition, the electroosmotic flow was dramatically reduced when DOX was added to the non-ionic gel, thereby indicating that the drug interacted with negative charges in the skin. Interestingly, electroosmosis was also significantly reduced when the iontophoresis was performed in the presence of the chitosan gel, but in the absence of DOX. Consequently, the transport of an electroosmotic marker from this gel almost disappeared when the positively charged drug was added to the cationic gel. These results indicated that chitosan appeared to interact with negative charges in the skin. Hence, this carrier not only reduced electroosmotic flow, but also released DOX from ionic interactions with these sites and improved its diffusion to deeper skin layers. The application of the low electrical current directly to melanoma cells increased DOX cytotoxicity by nearly three-fold, which was probably due to membrane permeation.

Abstract
The binding and the diffusion of mitoxantrone (MTX) through the plasma membrane was performed by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the membrane fluorescent donor (4Di-10ASP) to the co-localized acceptor MTX. The MTX addition to living 4Di-10ASP-tagged cells resulted in the rapid quenching of the probe emission (1s), revealing the MTX binding to the outer leaflet. Then, a slower quenching (about 90s) occurred which corresponded to the MTX flip-flop into the inner leaflet. Changes of MTX integration into the plasma membrane were described in BCRP-overexpressed cells (HCT-116R) treated with (i) the BCRP inhibitor fumitremorgin C (FTC), (ii) cyclosporin A (CSA) and (iii) benzyl alcohol (BA). Treatments with FTC or CSA showed 80% and 40% higher flip-flop of MTX from the outer to the inner leaflet of HCT-116R cells. The addition of BA clearly increased the MTX integration into both outer and inner leaflets. Confocal fluorescence microscopy displayed that FTC, CSA and BA enhanced MTX accumulation in HCT-116R. In conclusion, Fumitremorgin C and agents modulating MTX accumulation resulted in higher MTX integration in the resistant cell membrane and could disrupt the membrane cohesion. This energy transfer method appears well-adapted to describe the drug diffusion through the plasma membrane of living cells.

Abstract
In cells, multi drug resistance (MDR) is associated with Pgp-like transporters expression extruding drugs from cellular membranes. MDR is efficiently generated with a relatively small fraction of membrane transporters. As the insertion of drugs into cellular membranes is widespread, there are no reasons why a drug should incorporate the membrane in the vicinity of a transporter. As a result a further elusive hypothesis is usually invoked: these transporters act like "vacuum cleaners" of drugs embedded in the membrane. Nonetheless, how these transporters attract drugs remains obscure. To clarify the "vacuum cleaner" notion, we suggest that during its residency time in cellular membranes, the lateral movement of drugs from their point of insertion to transporters is governed by Brownian's diffusion, which allows the drugs/transporters interaction. Taking into account the functionality of Pgp-like transporters, namely the extrusion of drugs from the plasma membrane inner leaflet, we characterize how the state of drug resistance is triggered involving: membrane endocytosis, drug physico-chemical properties and the surface density of Pgp-like transporters. In addition, the theory developed provides for the first time a theoretical proof of Lipinski's second rule with regard to drugs' size (or MW) selectivity on their permeation across cellular membranes.

Abstract
This review presents the recent advances in the achievement of organized proteo-lipidic nanostructures based on Langmuir-Blodgett technology and their potential applications in the nanobioscience area. By using the self-assembled properties of amphiphilic biomolecules at the air-water interface, the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique offers the possibility to prepare ultrathin layers suitable for biomolecule immobilization at the molecular level. This review will provide a general overview of the enzyme association with preformed Langmuir-Blodgett films in connection with their potential applications in biosensing device developments, and then introduce the design of a new functionalised biomimetic nanostructure with oriented recognition site. The potential applications of such an organized proteo-lipidic nanostructure for biocatalysis investigations of an immobilised enzyme in a biomimetic situation and for the development of bioelectronic devices are finally discussed.

Abstract
A selective analysis of adsorbed mitoxantrone (MTX) was performed by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) at the range of cellular membrane. Disruption of the membrane fluidity was carried out to appraise changes in membrane adsorption of MTX and drug uptake in sensitive (HCT-116 S) and resistant BCRP/MXR (HCT-116 R) cells. Based on spectral MTX modifications, micro-SERS spectroscopy discriminated clearly drug adsorption phenomena on plasma membrane from drug in solution. A 3-fold higher SERS intensity of MTX for HCT-116 R was observed concluding to a higher drug adsorption on resistant membrane. The increase of membrane fluidity with benzyl alcohol (BA) or chloroform (CF) resulted in a 3-fold decrease of MTX adsorption on HCT-116 R, exclusively. BA and CF improved intracellular accumulation of MTX (e.g., 823 and 191 pmol MTX/10(6) HCT-116 R incubated with or without BA). At 4 degrees C, drug accumulation measurements showed a decrease of MTX permeability in resistant membrane (42 pmol MTX/10(6) cells), restored with fluidizers (e.g., 342 pmol MTX/10(6) cells with BA). Fluorescence confocal microscopy involved an exclusive MTX emission around the plasma membrane of resistant cells whereas fluidizers increased the intracellular uptake of MTX in both cell lines at the same time with less drug emission around the plasma membrane. Changes of the membrane structure of resistant cells should modify both drug adsorption and membrane permeation.

Abstract
Complexation of antitumor drug, doxorubicin (DOX), with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in buffer solutions was examined. The DOX-to-PAA binding was governed by electrostatic and stacking interactions resulting in a complex of characteristic composition with a PAA/DOX = 1.6 molar ratio. Sizes of the complex particles were found to lie in 600-900-nm range. However, the particles were able to interact with small neutral egg yolk lecithin liposomes (80-100 nm in diameter), a ternary DOX/PAA/liposome complex being formed. The observations and conclusions we made may be useful for interpreting biological effects of polymer-based bioactive constructs.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy was applied to analyze mitoxantrone (MTX) adsorption on the plasma membrane microenvironment of sensitive (HCT-116 S) or BCRP/MXR-type resistant (HCT-116 R) cells. The addition of silver colloid to MTX-treated cells revealed an enhanced Raman scattering of MTX. Addition of extracellular DNA induced a total extinction of MTX Raman intensity for both cell lines, which revealed an adsorption of MTX on plasma membrane. A threefold higher MTX Raman intensity was observed for HCT-116 R, suggesting a tight MTX adsorption in the plasma membrane microenvironment. Fluorescence confocal microscopy confirmed a relative MTX emission around plasma membrane for HCT-116 R. After 30 min at 4 degrees C, a threefold decrease of the MTX Raman scattering was observed for HCT-116 R, contrary to HCT-116 S. Permeation with benzyl alcohol revealed a threefold decrease of membrane MTX adsorption on HCT-116 R, exclusively. This additional MTX adsorption should correspond to the drug bound to an unstable site on the HCT-116 R membrane. This study showed that SERS spectroscopy could be a direct method to reveal drug adsorption to the membrane environment of living cells.

Abstract
Cell death induced by the chemotherapeutic drug daunorubicin (DNR) implicates an apoptotic pathway originating at the plasma membrane and characterized by sphingomyelin (SM) hydrolysis and ceramide generation. The mechanisms by which such a drug (hypothetically passively diffusing across a structural membrane) can trigger SM hydrolysis is unknown, but raises the question of the precise interaction between DNR and membrane lipid constituents. In this initial study, using alternative current polarography together with voltammetry, we report that after a first step of adsorption, insertion of DNR within a condensed phosphatidylcholine monolayer was significantly facilitated by SM content.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (Pgp), the so-called multidrug transporter, is a plasma membrane glycoprotein often involved in the resistance of cancer cells towards multiple anticancer agents in the multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype. It has long been recognized that the lipid phase of the plasma membrane plays an important role with respect to multidrug resistance and Pgp because: the compounds involved in the MDR phenotype are hydrophobic and diffuse passively through the membrane; Pgp domains involved in drug binding are located within the putative transmembrane segments; Pgp activity is highly sensitive to its lipid environment; and Pgp may be involved in lipid trafficking and metabolism. Unraveling the different roles played by the membrane lipid phase in MDR is relevant, not only to the evaluation of the precise role of Pgp, but also to the understanding of the mechanism of action and function of Pgp. With this aim, I review the data from different fields (cancer research, medicinal chemistry, membrane biophysics, pharmaceutical research) concerning drug-membrane, as well as Pgp-membrane, interactions. It is emphasized that the lipid phase of the membrane cannot be overlooked while investigating the MDR phenotype. Taking into account these aspects should be useful in the search of ways to obviate MDR and could also be relevant to the study of other multidrug transporters.

Abstract
The present note describes the use of surface pressure measurements (Langmuir monolayer technique) for the analysis of interactions of two different anthracyclines (adriamycin and daunorubicin) with a non-ionic, zwitterionic phospholipid monolayer, at the air-water interface. Because the surface membrane of the cell is the first barrier encountered by the anthracyclines in the treatment of cancer, drug-membrane interactions studied in model (monolayers or bilayers) and natural systems play an important role in the understanding of the bioactivity properties of these molecules. We report here the rate constants of the adsorption process of adriamycin and daunorubicin in the presence of a zwitterionic phospholipid monolayer at the air-water interface. Because interactions with the lipid monolayer strongly depend on the molecular packing of the lipid, we investigated this process at a relatively low surface pressure (7 mN/m), the interactions being favoured by the gaseous and liquid expanded structure of the lipid monolayer. The apparent molecular area of these molecules during the insertion into the lipid film and their interactions with the phospholipid polar head groups was evaluated and the estimated percentage of anthracyclines at the interface after adsorption into the lipid monolayer is briefly discussed. The rate constants for the adsorption and desorption process at the water-monolayer interface have been calculated on the basis of a single-exponential model. The observed difference of these parameters for daunorubicin and adriamycin suggests a different interaction of these anthracyclines during the adsorption to and/or penetration across the phospholipid monolayer.
