Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in multifunctional theranostic agents capable of delivering therapeutic payloads while facilitating simultaneous diagnostic imaging of diseased sites. This approach offers a comprehensive strategy particularly valuable in dynamically evolving diseases like cancer, where combining therapy and diagnostics provides crucial insights for treatment planning. Nanoscale platforms, specifically nanogels, have emerged as promising candidates due to their stability, tunability, and multifunctionality as carriers. As a well-studied subgroup of soft polymeric nanoparticles, nanogels exhibit inherent advantages due to their size and chemical compositions, allowing for passive and active targeting of diseased tissues. Moreover, nanogels loaded with therapeutic and diagnostic agents can be designed to respond to specific stimuli at the disease site, enhancing their efficacy and specificity. This capability enables fine-tuning of theranostic platforms, garnering significant clinical interest as they can be tailored for personalized treatments. The ability to monitor tumor progression in response to treatment facilitates the adaptation of therapies according to individual patient responses, highlighting the importance of designing theranostic platforms to guide clinicians in making informed treatment decisions. Consequently, the integration of therapy and diagnostics using theranostic platforms continues to advance, offering intelligent solutions to address the challenges of complex diseases such as cancer. In this context, nanogels capable of delivering therapeutic payloads and simultaneously armed with diagnostic modalities have emerged as an attractive theranostic platform. This review focuses on advances made toward the fabrication and utilization of theranostic nanogels by highlighting examples from recent literature where their performances through a combination of therapeutic agents and imaging methods have been evaluated.

Abstract
This paper reports synthesis of a bioreducible hyperbranched (HB) polymer by A2+B3 approach from commercially available dithiothreitol (DTT) (A2) and an easily accessible trifunctional monomer (B3) containing three reactive pyridyl-disulfide groups. Highly efficient thiol-activated disulfide exchange reaction leads to the formation of the HB polymer (Mw = 21000; Đ = 2.3) with bioreducible disulfide linkages in the backbone and two different functional groups, namely, hydroxyl and pyridyl-disulfide in the core and periphery, respectively, of the HB-polymer. Postpolymerization functionalization of the hydroxyl-groups with camptothecin (CPT), a topoisomerase inhibitor and known anticancer drug, followed by replacing the terminal pyridyl-disulfide groups with oligo-oxyethylene-thiol resulted in easy access to an amphiphilic HB polydisulfide-CPT conjugate (P1) with a very high drug loading content of ∼40%. P1 aggregated in water (above ∼10 μg/mL) producing drug-loaded nanoparticles (Dh ∼ 135 nm), which showed highly efficient glutathione (GSH)-triggered release of the active CPT. Mass spectrometry analysis of the GSH-treated P1 showed the presence of the active CPT drug as well as a cyclic monothiocarbonate product, which underpins the cascade-degradation mechanism involving GSH-triggered cleavage of the labile disulfide linkage, followed by intramolecular nucleophilic attack by the in situ generated thiol to the neighboring carbonate linkage, resulting in release of the active CPT drug. The P1 nanoparticle showed excellent cellular uptake as tested by confocal fluorescence microscopy in HeLa cells by predominantly endocytosis mechanism, resulting in highly efficient cell killing (IC50 ∼ 0.6 μg/mL) as evident from the results of the MTT assay, as well as the apoptosis assay. Comparative studies with an analogous linear polymer-CPT conjugate showed much superior intracellular drug delivery potency of the hyperbranched polymer.

Abstract
Thermosensitive nanoparticles can be activated by externally applying heat, either through laser irradiation or magnetic fields, to trigger the release of drug payloads. This controlled release mechanism ensures that drugs are specifically released at the tumor site, maximizing their effectiveness while minimizing systemic toxicity and adverse effects. However, its efficacy is limited by the low concentration of drugs at action sites, which is caused by no specific target to tumor sties. Herein, hyaluronic acid (HA), a gooey, slippery substance with CD44-targeting ability, was conjugated with a thermosensitive polymer poly(acrylamide-co-acrylonitrile) to produce tumor-targeting and thermosensitive polymeric nanocarrier (HA-P) with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) at 45 °C, which further coloaded chemo-drug doxorubicin (DOX) and photosensitizer Indocyanine green (ICG) to prepare thermosensitive nanoreactors HA-P/DOX&ICG. With photosensitizer ICG acting as the "temperature control element", HA-P/DOX&ICG nanoparticles can respond to temperature changes when receiving near-infrared irradiation and realize subsequent structure depolymerization for burst drug release when the ambient temperature was above 45 °C, achieving programmable and on-demand drug release for effective antitumor therapy. Tumor inhibition rate increased from 61.8 to 95.9% after laser irradiation. Furthermore, the prepared HA-P/DOX&ICG nanoparticles possess imaging properties, with ICG acting as a probe, enabling real-time monitoring of drug distribution and therapeutic response, facilitating precise treatment evaluation. These results provide enlightenment for the design of active tumor targeting and NIR-triggered programmable and on-demand drug release of thermosensitive nanoreactors for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Nanogels represent promising drug delivery systems in the biomedical field, designed to overcome challenges associated with standard treatment approaches. Stimuli-responsive nanogels, often referred to as intelligent materials, have garnered significant attention for their potential to enhance control over properties such as drug release and targeting. Furthermore, researchers have recently explored the application of nanogels in diverse sectors beyond biomedicine including sensing materials, catalysts, or adsorbents for environmental applications. However, to fully harness their potential as practical delivery systems, further research is required to better understand their pharmacokinetic behaviour, interactions between nanogels and bio distributions, as well as toxicities. One promising future application of stimuli-responsive multifunctional nanogels is their use as delivery agents in cancer treatment, offering an alternative to overcome the challenges with conventional approaches. This review discusses various synthetic methods employed in developing nanogels as efficient carriers for drug delivery in cancer treatment. The investigations explore, the key aspects of nanogels, including their multifunctionality and stimuli-responsive properties, as well as associated toxicity concerns. The discussions presented herein aim to provide the readers a comprehensive understanding of the potential of nanogels as smart drug delivery systems in the context of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Polymeric microgels, fabricated via microfluidic techniques, have garnered significant interest as versatile drug delivery carriers. Despite the advances, the loading and release of hydrophobic drugs such as curcumin from polymeric microgels is not trivial. Herein, we report that effective drug loading can be achieved by the design of porous particles and the use of supramolecular cyclodextrin-based curcumin complexes. The fabrication of porous microgels through the judicious choice of chemical precursors under flow conditions was established. The evaluation of the curcumin loading dependence on the porosity of the microgels was performed. Microgels with higher porosity exhibited better curcumin loading compared to those with lower porosity. Curcumin-loaded microgels released the drug, which, upon internalization by U87 MG human glioma cancer cells, induced cytotoxicity. The findings reported here provide valuable insights for the development of tailored drug delivery systems using a microfluidics-based platform and outline a strategy for the effective delivery of hydrophobic therapeutic agents such as curcumin through supramolecular complexation.

Abstract
Nanoparticles offer numerous advantages in various fields of science, particularly in medicine. Over recent years, the use of nanoparticles in disease diagnosis and treatments has increased dramatically by the development of stimuli-responsive nano-systems, which can respond to internal or external stimuli. In the last 10 years, many preclinical studies were performed on physically triggered nano-systems to develop and optimize stable, precise, and selective therapeutic or diagnostic agents. In this regard, the systems must meet the requirements of efficacy, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and safety before clinical investigation. Several undesired aspects need to be addressed to successfully translate these physical stimuli-responsive nano-systems, as biomaterials, into clinical practice. These have to be commonly taken into account when developing physically triggered systems; thus, also applicable for nano-systems based on nanomaterials. This review focuses on physically triggered nano-systems (PTNSs), with diagnostic or therapeutic and theranostic applications. Several types of physically triggered nano-systems based on polymeric micelles and hydrogels, mesoporous silica, and magnets are reviewed and discussed in various aspects.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) continue to gain increasing attention as functional materials due to their unique characteristics such as higher stability, simple preparation, robustness, better binding capacity, and low cost. In particular, MIP-coated inorganic nanoparticles have emerged as a promising platform for various biomedical applications ranging from drug delivery to bioimaging. The integration of MIPs with inorganic nanomaterials such as silica (SiO2), iron oxide (Fe3O4), gold (Au), silver (Ag), and quantum dots (QDs) combines several attributes from both components to yield highly multifunctional materials. These materials with a multicomponent hierarchical structure composed of an inorganic core and an imprinted polymer shell exhibit enhanced properties and new functionalities. This review aims to provide a general overview of key recent advances in the fabrication of MIPs-coated inorganic nanoparticles and highlight their biomedical applications, including drug delivery, biosensor, bioimaging, and bioseparation.

Abstract
Advances in diagnostic and imaging capabilities have allowed cancers to be detected earlier and characterized more robustly. These strategies have recently branched into theranostics whereby contrast agents traditionally used for imaging have been co-loaded with therapeutics to simultaneously diagnose and treat cancers in a patient-specific manner. Microbubbles (MB) and nanobubbles (NB) are contrast agents which can be modulated to meet the theranostic needs particularly in the realm of oncology. The current review focuses on the ultrasound-responsive MB/NB platforms used as a theranostic tool in oncology. We discuss in detail the key parameters that influence the utility of MB/NB formulations and implications of such treatment modalities. Recent advances in composition strategies, latest works in the pre-clinical stages and multiple paradigm-shifting innovations in the field of MB/NB are discussed in-depth in this review. The clinical application of MB/NB is currently limited to diagnostic imaging. Surface chemistry modification strategies will help tune the formulations toward therapeutic applications. It is also anticipated that MB/NB will see increased use to deliver gas therapeutics. Scalability and stability considerations will be at the forefront as these particles get introduced into the clinical theranostic toolbox.

Ahmed S, Alhareth K, Mignet N. Advancement in nanogel formulations provides controlled drug release. Int J Pharm 2020; 584:119435. [PMID: 32439585 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2020.119435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2020] [Revised: 04/23/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Nanogels are currently considered as promising nanosized drug delivery carriers. Nanogels are made of a crosslinked polymeric network which could encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs due to their tunable nature. The ability of nanogels to control drug release is vastly described in the literature and researchers are consistently improving the control of drug release from nanogel by designing new polymers having specific sensitivity to a chemical or physical stimulus. In this review, we briefly discuss the definition of nanogels, their release profiles, their specific gel-based characteristics and the pathways of dug release from nanogels. We have focused on the stimuli responsive nanogels and their release profile. This compilation opens the window for understanding the influence of chemical composition and design of various nanogel on their release in the presence and absence of corresponding stimuli such as temperature, pH, enzymes and others. The uniqueness of this review is that it highlights the data of release profiles in terms of the different nanogel composition and triggers. It also points the high potential of nanogels in the list of candidates for drug delivery systems, thanks to their properties regarding drug encapsulation and release, combined advantages of nano-size and swelling characteristics of hydrogel.

Abstract
Synthetic polymers, biopolymers, and their nanocomposites are being studied, and some of them are already used in different medical areas. Among the synthetic ones that can be mentioned are polyolefins, fluorinated polymers, polyesters, silicones, and others. Biopolymers such as polysaccharides (chitosan, hyaluronic acid, starch, cellulose, alginates) and proteins (silk, fibroin) have also become widely used and investigated for applications in medicine. Besides synthetic polymers and biopolymers, their nanocomposites, which are hybrids formed by a macromolecular matrix and a nanofiller (mineral or organic), have attracted great attention in the last decades in medicine and in other fields due to their outstanding properties. This review covers studies done recently using the polymers, biopolymers, nanocomposites, polymer micelles, nanomicelles, polymer hydrogels, nanogels, polymersomes, and liposomes used in medicine as drugs or drug carriers for cancer therapy and underlines their responses to internal and external stimuli able to make them more active and efficient. They are able to replace conventional cancer drug carriers, with better results.

Abstract
Introduction: The development of more efficacious vaccines, especially subunit vaccines administered via non-invasive routes, is a priority in vaccinology. Nanogels are materials that can meet the requirements to serve as efficient vaccine delivery vehicles (in terms of thermo-sensitivity, biocompatibility, and pH-responsiveness; among others); thus there is a growing interest in exploring the potential of nanogels for vaccine development. Areas covered: Herein, a critical analysis of nanogel synthesis methodologies is presented and nanogel-based vaccines under development are summarized and placed in perspective. Promising vaccine candidates based on nanogels have been reported for cancer, obesity, and infectious diseases (mainly respiratory diseases). Some of the candidates were administered by mucosal routes which are highly attractive in terms of simple administration and induction of protective responses at both mucosal and systemic levels. Expert opinion: The most advanced models of nanogel-based vaccines comprise candidates against cancer, based on cholesteryl pullulan nanogels evaluated in clinical trials with promising findings; as well as some vaccines against respiratory pathogens tested in mice thus far. Nonetheless, the challenge for this field is advancing in clinical trials and proving the protective potential in test animals for many other candidates. Implementing green synthesis approaches for nanogels is also required.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a shining beacon in the realm of photomedicine, is a non-invasive technique that utilizes dye-based photosensitizers (PSs) in conjunction with light and oxygen to produce reactive oxygen species to combat malignant tissues and infectious microorganisms. Yet, for PDT to become a common, routine therapy, it is still necessary to overcome limitations such as photosensitizer solubility, long-term side effects (e.g., photosensitivity) and to develop safe, biocompatible and target-specific formulations. Polymer based drug delivery platforms are an effective strategy for the delivery of PSs for PDT applications. Among them, hydrogels and 3D polymer scaffolds with the ability to swell in aqueous media have been deeply investigated. Particularly, hydrogel-based formulations present real potential to fulfill all requirements of an ideal PDT platform by overcoming the solubility issues, while improving the selectivity and targeting drawbacks of the PSs alone. In this perspective, we summarize the use of hydrogels as carrier systems of PSs to enhance the effectiveness of PDT against infections and cancer. Their potential in environmental and biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering photoremediation and photochemistry, is also discussed.

Abstract
The current limitations in the use of nanocarriers to treat constantly evolving diseases call for the design of novel and smarter drug delivery systems (DDS). Nanogels (NGs) are three-dimensional crosslinked polymers with dimensions on the nanoscale and with a great potential for use in the biomedical field. Particular interest focuses on their application as DDS to minimize severe toxic effects and increase the therapeutic index of drugs. They have recently gained attention, since they can include responsive modalities within their structure, which enable them to excerpt a therapeutic function on demand. Their bigger sizes and controlled architecture and functionality, when compared to non-crosslinked polymers, make them particularly interesting to explore novel modalities to cross biological barriers. The present review summarizes the most significant developments of NGs as smart carriers, with focus on smart modalities to cross biological barriers such as cellular membrane, tumor stroma, mucose, skin, and blood brain barrier. We discuss the properties of each barrier and highlight the importance that the NG design has on their capability to overcome them and deliver the cargo at the site of action.

Abstract
Using fluorinated probes for 19F MRI imaging is an emerging field with potential utility in cellular imaging and cell tracking in vivo, which complements conventional 1H MRI. An attractive feature of 19F-based imaging is that this is a bio-orthogonal nucleus and the naturally abundant isotope is NMR active. A significant hurdle however in the 19F MRI arises from the tendency of organic macromolecules, with multiple fluorocarbon substitutions, to aggregate in the aqueous phase. This aggregation results in significant loss of sensitivity, because the T2 relaxation times of these aggregated 19F species tend to be significantly lower. In this report, we have developed a strategy to covalently trap nanoscopic states with an optimal degree of 19F substitutions, followed by significant enhancement in T2 relaxation times through increased segmental mobility of the side chain substituents facilitated by the stimulus-responsive elements in the polymeric nanogel. In addition to NMR relaxation time based evaluations, the ability to obtain such signals are also evaluated in mouse models. The propensity of these nanoscale assemblies to encapsulate hydrophobic drug molecules and the availability of surfaces for convenient introduction of fluorescent labels suggest the potential of these nanoscale architectures for use in multimodal imaging and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
A bioreducible poly(disulfide)-derived amphiphilic block copolymer-drug conjugate (loading content 31%) was synthesized by post-polymerization modification. It shows redox-responsive polymersome assembly in water with aggregation induced emission property arising from the appended Camptothecin (CPT) drug. Glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide overexpressed in cancer cells, triggers a cascade reaction resulting in simultaneous degradation of the polymer backbone (consisting of disulfide linkage) and the release of the pendant drug. The cascade reaction involves GSH trigger cleavage of the backbone disulfide bond producing free thiol followed by its intrachain nucleophilic attack to the adjacent carbonate group that links the appended drug molecule. The polymeric pro-drug exhibits killing efficiency to a cancer cell with remarkably low IC50 value of 3.1 μg/mL (based on the CPT concentration) while it shows negligible toxicity to a normal cell up to polymer concentration 300 μg/mL.

Abstract
Novel theranostic nanocarriers exhibit a desirable potential to treat diseases based on their ability to achieve targeted therapy while allowing for real-time imaging of the disease site. Development of such theranostic platforms is still quite challenging. Herein, we present the construction of multifunctional dendrimer-based theranostic nanosystem to achieve cancer cell chemotherapy and computed tomography (CT) imaging with targeting specificity. Doxorubicin (DOX), a model anticancer drug, was first covalently linked onto the partially acetylated poly(amidoamine) dendrimers of generation 5 (G5) prefunctionalized with folic acid (FA) through acid-sensitive cis-aconityl linkage to form G5·NHAc-FA-DOX conjugates, which were then entrapped with gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) to create dendrimer-entrapped Au NPs (Au DENPs). We demonstrate that the prepared DOX-Au DENPs possess an Au core size of 2.8 nm, have 9.0 DOX moieties conjugated onto each dendrimer, and are colloid stable under different conditions. The formed DOX-Au DENPs exhibit a pH-responsive release profile of DOX because of the cis-aconityl linkage, having a faster DOX release rate under a slightly acidic pH condition than under a physiological pH. Importantly, because of the coexistence of targeting ligand FA and Au core NPs as a CT imaging agent, the multifunctional DOX-loaded Au DENPs afford specific chemotherapy and CT imaging of FA receptor-overexpressing cancer cells. The constructed DOX-conjugated Au DENPs hold a promising potential to be utilized for simultaneous chemotherapy and CT imaging of various types of cancer cells.

Abstract
Temperature sensitive injectable hydrogels have been used as drug/protein carriers for a variety of pharmaceutical applications. Oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA) monomers with varying ethylene oxide chain lengths have been used for the synthesis of in situ forming hydrogel. In this study, a new series of thermally induced gelling hydrogel nanoparticles (PMOA hydrogel nanoparticles) was developed by copolymerization with di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (MEO2MA), poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (300 g mol-1, OEGMA300), and acrylic acid (AAc). The effects of acrylic acid content on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the nanoparticle-based hydrogels were investigated. Due to its high electrostatic properties, addition of AAc increases LCST as well as gelation temperature. Further, using Cy5-labelled bovine serum albumin and erythropoietin (Epo) as model drugs, studies have shown that the thermogelling hydrogels have the ability to tune the release rate of these proteins in vitro. Finally, the ability of Epo releasing hydrogels to recruit prostate cancer cells was assessed in vivo. Overall, our results support that this new series of thermally induced gelling systems can be used as protein control releasing vehicles and cancer cell traps.

Abstract
A novel anticancer theranostic prodrug, FDU-DB-NO2, specifically activated by hypoxia for selective two-photon imaging hypoxia status, real-time tracking drug release, and solid tumor therapy was designed. The devised prodrug consists of an anticancer drug floxuridine (FDU), a fluorescence dye precursor 4'-(diethylamino)-1,1'-biphenyl-2-carboxylate (DB), and a hypoxic trigger 4-nitrobenzyl group. In normal cells, FDU-DB-NO2 is "locked". Whereas in tumor cells, the prodrug is "unlocked" by hypoxia and results in fluorescent dye 7-(diethylamino)coumarin (CM) generation along with FDU release. The amounts and rates of CM formation and FDU release were controlled by hypoxic status and increased with the decreasing of the O2 concentration. The hypoxic status, distribution of oxygen, and amount of FDU release in tumor cells, spheroids, and tumor tissue could be visualized by fluorescence. FDU-DB-NO2 showed high cytotoxicity against hypoxic MCF-7 and MCG-803 cell lines and no cytotoxicity against normoxic BRL-3A cells and exhibited effective inhibition on tumor growth of MCF-7-cell-inoculated xenograft nude mice. This strategy may provide a promising platform for selective two-photon imaging hypoxia status, real-time tracking drug release, and personalized solid tumor treatment.
