Abstract
Liquid biopsies utilizing tumor exosomes offer a noninvasive approach for cancer diagnosis. However, validation studies consistently report that in the early stages of cancer, the secretion of exosomes by cancer cells is relatively low, while bodily fluids exhibit a high abundance of other interfering biomolecules. Additionally, target mutations or differences in biomarker expression among various lung cancer subtypes may contribute to detection failures. In this study, we propose a targeted nanoarray-based early cancer diagnostic approach for multiple subtypes of lung cancer. The targeted nanoarray was constructed by modifying five targeting aptamers onto mesoporous silica nanoparticles through the conjugation between amino and carboxyl groups. The flow cytometry experiments demonstrated the specific recognition ability of the targeted nanoarray to tumor exosomes in PBS, even at biomarker expression levels as low as 1.5 %. Moreover, the TEM results indicated that the targeted nanoarray could isolate tumor exosomes in the blood of tumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, the targeted nanoarray could detect tumor exosomes in the blood of various lung cancer bearing mice, including at the early stages of cancer, which has just been established for 7 days. Overall, the targeted nanoarray represents a promising tool for the early detection of various subtypes of lung cancer.

Abstract
Silica particles modified with amino groups hold immense potential across diverse fields, owing to their distinctive properties. The widely adopted method of surface modification, utilizing (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), facilitates the incorporation of amino-functional groups onto the silica surface, thereby creating sites for subsequent functionalization with other molecules. In this context, the ability to precisely tailor the surface properties of amino-functionalized silica particles is crucial for optimizing their performance in various applications. In this work, we systematically investigated the influence of the APTES concentration and water content on the density of amino groups grafted on the silica surface within an ethanol-water mixture. The rational control of hydrolysis and condensation of APTES enabled the precise regulation of the amino density on the silica surface, resulting in a notable shift in the isoelectric point from 2.9 to 9.2. Subsequently, we assembled amino-functionalized silica with different isoelectric points with gold nanoparticles to demonstrate their tunable ability as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. This controlled and tailored amino-functionalization process opens up new routes for fine-tuning the properties of silica particles, thereby expanding their utility across various applications in materials science, nanotechnology, and biomedicine.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) coated by chitosan (CS) were shown to be a proper candidate as a carrier for drug delivery purposes. However, choosing the suitable drug-containing complexes to be applied on MSNPs-CS is of much greater importance to evaluate the possible candidate for an efficient combination of cell viability, drug release kinetics, and atherosclerosis prevention. In this regard, this study concentrates on the synthesis and assessment of coated MSNPs-CS designed for drug delivery purposes. The MSNPs are coated with polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) composed of CS and dextran sulfate (MSNPs-CS-DX), serving as a versatile drug carrier with favorable biological characteristics. CS-DX is applied to MSNPs without requiring complex or multi-step synthesis procedures. Rosuvastatin, a cholesterol-lowering medication, is chosen for its therapeutic relevance. Additionally, CS-DX is found to relatively impede the uptake of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) by macrophages, enhancing their potential therapeutic utility. FTIR pattern, FESEM, and TEM images prove MSNPs-CS-DX formation. DLS measurement demonstrates the average particle size of 110 nm for MSNPs, with the combined thickness of CS and DX layers ranging from 10 to 15 nm. BET test is carried out to evaluate the pore size and porosity of structure, showing outstanding results that cause an entrapment efficiency of 57% for MSNPs-CS-DX. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate the pH sensitivity of MSNPs-CS-DX on drug release kinetics. Notably, the CS-DX layer exhibits a significant enhancement in cell viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by approximately 24% within a 24 h timeframe compared to MSNPs lacking CS-DX.

Abstract
Periodontitis, a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease worldwide, is triggered by periodontopathogenic bacteria, resulting in the progressive destruction of periodontal tissue, particularly the alveolar bone. To effectively address periodontitis, this study proposed a nanoformulation known as CuS@MSN-SCS. This formulation involves coating citrate-grafted copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles with mesoporous silica (MSNs), followed by surface modification using amino groups and sulfated chitosan (SCS) through electrostatic interactions. The objective of this formulation is to achieve efficient bacteria removal by inducing ROS signaling pathways mediated by Cu2+ ions. Additionally, it aims to promote alveolar bone regeneration through Cu2+-induced pro-angiogenesis and SCS-mediated bone regeneration. As anticipated, by regulating the surface charges, the negatively charged CuS nanoparticles capped with sodium citrate were successfully coated with MSNs, and the subsequent introduction of amine groups using (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane was followed by the incorporation of SCS through electrostatic interactions, resulting in the formation of CuS@MSN-SCS. The developed nanoformulation was verified to not only significantly exacerbate the oxidative stress of Fusobacterium nucleatum, thereby suppressing bacteria growth and biofilm formation in vitro, but also effectively alleviate the inflammatory response and promote alveolar bone regeneration without evident biotoxicity in an in vivo rat periodontitis model. These findings contribute to the therapeutic effect on periodontitis. Overall, this study successfully developed a nanoformulation for combating bacteria and facilitating alveolar bone regeneration, demonstrating the promising potential for clinical treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Gastric ulcers are characterized by damage to the stomach lining and are often triggered by substances such as ethanol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Patchouli alcohol (PA) has demonstrated effectiveness in treating gastric ulcers through antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the water insolubility of PA and rapid gastric emptying cause low drug concentration and poor absorption in the stomach, resulting in limited treatment efficacy of PA. This study develops an oral gastroretentive raft forming system (GRFDDS) containing the aminated hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (NH2-HMSN) for PA delivery. The application of NH2-HMSN can enhance PA-loading capacity and water dispersibility, promoting bio-adhesion to the gastric mucosa and sustained drug release. The incorporation of PA-loaded NH2-HMSN (NH2-HMSN-PA) into GRFDDS can facilitate gastric drug retention and achieve long action, thereby improving therapeutic effects. The results reveal that NH2-HMSN-PA protects the gastric mucosa damage by inhibiting NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis. The GRFDDS, optimized through orthogonal design, demonstrates the gastric retention capacity and sustained drug release, exhibiting significant therapy efficacy in an ethanol-induced acute gastric ulcers model and an aspirin-induced chronic gastric ulcers model through antioxidation, anti-pyroptosis, and anti-inflammation. This study provides a potential strategy for enhancing druggability of insoluble natural compounds and therapeutic management of gastric ulcers.

Abstract
A nanoparticle's shape is a critical determinant of its biological interactions and therapeutic effectiveness. This study investigates the influence of shape on the performance of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) in anticancer therapy. MSNs with spherical, rod-like, and hexagonal-plate-like shapes were synthesized, with particle sizes of around 240 nm, and their other surface properties were characterized. The drug loading capacities of the three shapes were controlled to be 47.46%, 49.41%, and 46.65%, respectively. The effects of shape on the release behaviors, cellular uptake mechanisms, and pharmacological behaviors of MSNs were systematically investigated. Through a series of in vitro studies using 4T1 cells and in vivo evaluations in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, the release kinetics, cellular behaviors, pharmacological effects, circulation profiles, and therapeutic efficacy of MSNs were comprehensively assessed. Notably, hexagonal-plate-shaped MSNs loaded with PTX exhibited a prolonged circulation time (t1/2 = 13.59 ± 0.96 h), which was approximately 1.3 times that of spherical MSNs (t1/2 = 10.16 ± 0.38 h) and 1.5 times that of rod-shaped MSNs (t1/2 = 8.76 ± 1.37 h). This research underscores the significance of nanoparticles' shapes in dictating their biological interactions and therapeutic outcomes, providing valuable insights for the rational design of targeted drug delivery systems in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Biomolecule immobilization on nanomaterials is attractive for biosensors since it enables the capture of a higher concentration of bioreceptor units while also serving as a transduction element. The technique could enhance the accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity of the analytical measurements of biomolecules. However, it was found that the limitation in chemically binding biomolecules on nanoparticle surfaces could only cross-link between the C-terminal and N-terminal. Here, we report the facile one-step synthesis of amine-functionalized silica nanoparticles (AFSNPs). (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane was used as a precursor to modify the functional surface of nanoparticles via the Stöber process. The biomolecules were immobilized to the AFSNPs through itaconic acid, a novel cross-linker that binds between the N-terminal and N-terminal and potentially improves proteins and nucleic acid immobilization onto the nanoparticle surface. The newly developed immobilization approach on AFSNPs for biomolecular detection enhanced the efficiency of ELISA, resulting in increased sensitivity. It might also be easily used to identify different pathogens for clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO)-based gas therapy approaches are promising in the treatment of infections; however, these strategies are hindered by poor delivery to the target site, which leads to unsatisfactory effects. In this study, we developed a NO-controlled platform (SCM@HA) via NO-generating mesoporous silica nanoparticles co-doped with sodium nitroprusside and copper sulphide to control NO production under near-infrared (NIR)-laser irradiation. Irradiation with an 808 nm NIR laser rapidly triggered the release of NO from the particles to actualise gas therapy. Photothermal therapy (PTT) also increased the local microenvironment temperature, and the close relationship between chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and temperature suggests that the increasing temperature facilitates in its working. The hydroxyl radicals generated by CDT can destroy the structure of bacteria in acidic environments. The germicidal activity of the nanoparticles was determined by the combined action of PTT, CDT, and NO-based gas therapy. The nanoparticles showed bactericidal activity in vitro against bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium). Finally, the anti-infective efficacy in vivo in S. aureus-infected mouse model was demonstrated. Thus, the synergistic antimicrobial effects of NO-generating silica nanoparticles have good potential for the non-antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections in wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Bacterial infections and resistance are challenging health threats. Therefore, the development of an antibiotic-independent method is essential for the treatment of wound bacterial infections. In this study, NO-generating nanoparticles loaded with sodium nitroprusside in copper sulphide-doped mesoporous silica were prepared to control the long-term release of NO using near-infrared laser, which has good efficacy of PTT and CDT. The bactericidal effects of as-prepared nanoparticles against S. aureus and S. typhimurium have been well elucidated. This study proposes a feasible method in the field of NO-based therapy, thus paving the way that will benefit for the treatment of bacterial infections in wounds.

Abstract
The use of nucleic acid to control the expression of genes relevant to tumor progression is a key therapeutic approach in cancer research. Therapeutics based on nucleic acid provide novel concepts for untreatable targets. Nucleic acids as molecular medications must enter the target cell to be effective and obstacles in the systemic delivery of DNA or RNA limit their use in a clinical setting. The creation of nucleic acid delivery systems based on nanoparticles in order to circumvent biological constraints is advancing quickly. The ease of synthesis and surface modification, biocompatibility, biodegradability, cost-effectiveness and high loading capability of nucleic acids have prompted the use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) in gene therapy. The unique surface features of MSNs facilitate their design and decoration for high loading of nucleic acids, immune system evasion, cancer cell targeting, controlled cargo release, and endosomal escape. Reports have demonstrated successful therapeutic outcomes with the administration of a variety of engineered MSNs capable of delivering genes to tumor sites in laboratory animals. This comprehensive review of studies about siRNA, miRNA, shRNA, lncRNA and CRISPR/Cas9 delivery by MSNs reveals engineered MSNs as a safe and efficient system for gene transfer to cancer cells and cancer mouse models.

Abstract
Thermo-/pH-sensitive nanocomposites based on mesoporous silicate MCM-41 (MSNCs) derived from rice husk ash were synthesized and characterized. MSNCs were coated with thermo-/pH-sensitive Pluronic® F127 and gelatin to form MSNCs@gp nanocomposites, serving as carriers for controlled release of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox). The in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy of MSNCs@gp-Dox against liver cancer was evaluated. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra confirmed the silica nature of MSNCs@gp by detecting the Si-O-Si group. Under acidic microenvironments (pH 5.4) and 42 °C, MSNCs@gp-Dox exhibited significantly higher Dox release (47.33 %) compared to physiological conditions. Thermo-/pH-sensitive drug release (47.33 %) was observed in simulated tumor environments. The Makoid-Banakar model provided the best fit at pH 7.4 and 37 °C with a mean squared error of 0.4352, an Akaike Information Criterion of 15.00, and a regression coefficient of 0.9972. Cytotoxicity tests have demonstrated no significant toxicity in HepG2 cells treated with various concentrations of MSNCs@gp, while MSNCs@gp-Dox induced considerable cell apoptosis. In vivo studies in nude mice revealed effective suppression of liver cancer growth by MSNCs@gp-Dox, indicating high pharmaceutical efficacy. The investigated MSNCs@gp-based drug delivery system shows promise for liver cancer therapy, offering enhanced treatment efficiency with minimal side effects.

RSC Adv 2023; 13:21008-21020.

Abstract
Araldite LY5052 epoxy resin and Aradur HY5052 hardener were used in a ratio of 100 : 38 to produce composite coatings containing 0.05 proportion of functionalized SiO2. Coating samples were cured at curing temperatures of 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 °C. The results of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) verified that silica particles were successfully functionalized with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS)/3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES). The epoxide and Si-O bond peaks in the EHS100 coating were present due to the effective incorporation of functionalized silica (FSiO2) particles in the polymeric matrix (epoxy resin). The surface morphology of the bare aluminium alloy AA7075 and EHS100 coating was investigated by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM). Additionally, corrosion analysis was conducted at room temperature using an electrolytic solution of artificial seawater, prepared according to ASTM standard D1141-98. Charge transfer resistance (Rct) was shown to increase by 86.43, 92.15, 94.76, 90.65, and 83.96% for EHS60, EHS80, EHS100, EHS120, and EHS140 in comparison to bare AA7075 substrate using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) examination. Furthermore, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) measurements were carried out to determine the corrosion rates, which demonstrated a drop of 55.98, 98.96, 99.37, 98.33, and 50.39% for EHS60, EHS80, EHS100, EHS120, and EHS140, as compared to the bare AA7075 sample. The highest charge transfer resistance (29.77 kΩ) and lowest corrosion rate (0.00078 mm per year) were recorded for EHS100, which reveals that the EHS100 coating has the best anti-corrosion performance and provides the maximum corrosion protection for the aluminium alloy AA7075 substrate.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX), a widely used drug in cancer chemotherapy, induces cell death via multiple intracellular interactions, generating reactive oxygen species and DNA-adducted configurations that induce apoptosis, topoisomerase II inhibition, and histone eviction. Despite its wide therapeutic efficacy in solid tumors, DOX often induces drug resistance and cardiotoxicity. It shows limited intestinal absorption because of low paracellular permeability and P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated efflux. We reviewed various parenteral DOX formulations, such as liposomes, polymeric micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, and polymer-drug conjugates, under clinical use or trials to increase its therapeutic efficacy. To improve the bioavailability of DOX in intravenous and oral cancer treatment, studies have proposed a pH- or redox-sensitive and receptor-targeted system for overcoming DOX resistance and increasing therapeutic efficacy without causing DOX-induced toxicity. Multifunctional formulations of DOX with mucoadhesiveness and increased intestinal permeability through tight-junction modulation and P-gp inhibition have also been used as orally bioavailable DOX in the preclinical stage. The increasing trends of developing oral formulations from intravenous formulations, the application of mucoadhesive technology, permeation-enhancing technology, and pharmacokinetic modulation with functional excipients might facilitate the further development of oral DOX.

Abstract
Designing innovative electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensors is critical for the detection of biomarkers with a low concentration and the precise evaluation of clinical diseases. Herein, a Cu3(hexahydroxytriphenylene)2 (Cu3(HHTP)2) nanoflake-based sandwich-type ECL immunosensor was constructed for C-Reactive Protein (CRP) detection. The Cu3(HHTP)2 nanoflake, an electronically conductive metal-organic framework (MOF), has a periodically arranged porous structure with a cavity size of 2 nm, which not only accommodates a large amount of Ru(bpy)32+ but also confines the spatial diffusion of active species. Therefore, the Ru(bpy)32+-loaded Cu3(HHTP)2 nanocomplex (Ru@CuMOF) as an ECL emitter exhibits an enhanced ECL efficiency. The ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) was accomplished by combining Ru@CuMOF used as a donor with gold nanoparticles-functionalized graphene oxide nanosheets (GO-Au) utilized as an acceptor. This should be ascribed to the fact that the ECL emission spectrum of Ru@CuMOF shows the strongest signal intensity at 615 nm, overlapping with the absorption spectrum of GO-Au at 580-680 nm. Targeted detection of CRP in human serum samples was achieved by the sandwich-type immunosensor based on the ECL-RET mechanism with a 0.26 pg mL-1 detection limit. The electro-activated hybrids of Cu3(HHTP)2 and ECL emitters provide a new sensing strategy for the high-sensitivity detection of disease markers.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) currently occupies the second rank in cancer-related global female deaths. Although consistent awareness and improved diagnosis have reduced mortality in recent years, late diagnosis and resistant response still limit the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs (CDs), leading to relapse with consequent invasion and metastasis. Treatment with CDs is indeed well-versed but it is badly curtailed with accompanying side effects and inadequacies of site-specific drug delivery. As a result, drug carriers ensuring stealth delivery and sustained drug release with improved pharmacokinetics and biodistribution are urgently needed. Core-shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) have recently been a cornerstone in this context, attributed to their high surface area, low density, robust functionalization, high drug loading capacity, size-shape-controlled functioning, and homogeneous shell architecture, enabling stealth drug delivery. Recent interest in using MSNPs as drug delivery vehicles has been due to their functionalization and size-shape-driven versatilities. With such insights, this article focuses on the preparation methods and drug delivery mechanisms of MSNPs, before discussing their emerging utility in BC treatment. The information compiled herein could consolidate the database for using inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) as BC drug delivery vehicles in terms of design, application and resolving post-therapy complications.

Abstract
The main objective of the current research work was to synthesize mesoporous silica nanoparticles for controlled delivery of mometasone furoate for potential nasal delivery. The optimized sol-gel method was used for the synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Synthesized nanoparticles were processed through Zeta sizer, SEM, TEM, FTIR, TGA, DSC, XRD, and BET analysis for structural characterization. The in vitro dissolution test was performed for the inclusion compound, while the Franz diffusion experiment was performed for permeability of formulation. For the determination of expression levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-5, RNA extraction, reverse transcription, and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were performed. The MTT assay was also performed to determine cell viability. Synthesized and functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles showed controlled release of drugs. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of the corresponding functional groups of drugs within mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Zeta sizer and thermal analysis confirmed the delivery system was in nano size and thermally stable. Moreover, a highly porous system was observed during SEM and TEM evaluation, and further it was confirmed by BET analysis. Greater cellular uptake with improved permeability characteristics was also observed. As compared to the crystalline drug, a significant improvement in the dissolution rate was observed. It was concluded that stable mesoporous silica nanoparticles with significant porosity were synthesized, efficiently delivering the loaded drug without any toxic effect.

Abstract
Dentin biomodification is a promising approach to enhance dental tissue biomechanics and biostability for restorative and reparative therapies. One of the most active dentin tissue biomodifiers is proanthocyanidin (PAC)-rich natural extracts, which are used in the dental bonding procedure in combination with resin-based adhesives (RBAs). This study aimed to investigate the use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for the sustained delivery of PACs for dentin biomodification as a novel drug-delivery system for dental applications. The effects of the incorporation of MSN functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and loaded with PAC into an experimental RBA were assessed by characterizing the material mechanical properties. In addition, the immediate and long-term bonding performance of an experimental resin-based primer (RBP) containing MSN-APTES loaded with PAC was also evaluated. For that, different formulations of RBA and RBP were prepared containing 20% w/v MSN-APTES loaded with PAC before or after functionalization (MSN-PAC-APTES and MSN-APTES-PAC, respectively). The incorporation of MSN-APTES-PAC did not negatively impact the degree of conversion or the overall mechanical properties of the RBA. However, adding MSN-PAC-APTES resulted in inferior mechanical properties of the experimental RBA. In the adhesion studies, APTES-functionalized MSN was successfully added to an experimental RBP for drug-delivery purposes without compromising the bond strength to the dentin or the failure mode. Interestingly, the sequence of surface functionalization with APTES resulted in differences in the bonding performance, with better long-term results for RBP containing MSN loaded with PAC after functionalization.

Abstract
Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs) have great potential for nucleic acid separation, detection, and delivery. MNPs are considered a valuable tool in biomedicine due to their cost-effectiveness, stability, easy surface functionalization, and the possibility of the manipulations under a magnetic field. Herein, the synthesis of magnetic nylon 6 nanocomposites (MNPs@Ny6) was investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used for morphology and size analysis. A new method of UV-induced immobilization of oligonucleotides on MNPs@Ny6 for nucleic acid magnetic separation was proposed. MNPs@Ny6 shows a high oligonucleotide binding capacity of 2.2 nmol/mg with 73.3% loading efficiency. The proposed system has been applied to analyze model mixtures of target RNA on the total yeast RNA background. The RNA target isolation efficiency was 60% with high specificity. The bind RNA release was 88.8% in a quantity of 0.16 nmol/mg. The total RNA capture efficiency was 53%. Considering this, the MNPs@Ny6 is an attractive candidate for nucleic acids-specific magnetic isolation.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have great potential for applications as a drug delivery system (DDS) due to their unique properties such as large pore size, high surface area, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and stable aqueous dispersion. The MSN-mediated DDS can carry chemotherapeutic agents, optical sensors, photothermal agents, short interfering RNA (siRNA), and gene therapeutic agents. The MSN-assisted imaging techniques are applicable in cancer diagnosis. However, their synthesis via a chemical route requires toxic chemicals and is challenging, time-consuming, and energy-intensive, making the process expensive and non-viable. Fortunately, nature has provided a viable alternative material in the form of biosilica from marine resources. In this review, the applications of biosilica nanoparticles synthesized from marine diatoms in the field of drug delivery, biosensing, imaging agents, and regenerative medicine, are highlighted. Insights into the use of biosilica in the field of DDSs are elaborated, with a focus on different strategies to improve the physico-chemical properties with regards to drug loading and release efficiency, targeted delivery, and site-specific binding capacity by surface functionalization. The limitations, as well as the future scope to develop them as potential drug delivery vehicles and imaging agents, in the overall therapeutic management, are discussed.

Multifunctional nanocarriers, specifically for tumor targeting and traceable features, have been increasingly considered in cancer therapies. Herein, a novel targeting agent (TA), tryptophan(TRP), was proposed for the synthesis of functionalized APTES-iron oxide nanoparticles using two methods, creating a smart drug delivery system (DDS). In one method, two-step, glutaraldehyde (GA) as a linker, bonded TRP and amino-functionalized magnetite (AMFM), and in the second method, one step, TRP binding was carried out by (3-dimethyl aminopropyl)-N'-ethyl carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)/ N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (NHS). The synthesis yield of the second method was 7% higher than the first method. After synthesizing DDS, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) was loaded on nanocarriers and was observed that TRP functionalized nanoparticles by GA have better loading efficiency, which was 50% greater than the product from the one-step method. A pH-sensitive release profile was also studied for 5-FU/DDS with the release of almost 75% and 50% at pH 5.5 and 7.4, respectively. To analyze the biological aspects of nanocarriers, human breast cancer, MCF-7, and embryonic kidney, HEK293, cell lines were used for cellular uptake and MTT assays. In-vitro studies confirmed that TRP can act as a TA as its cellular uptake through cancerous cells was 40% greater than normal cells, and the MTT assay confirmed that using DDS can increase and decrease the cell viability of normal cells and cancerous cells, respectively, compared to free drug. Therefore, it was concluded that advanced nano-assembly is a great candidate for breast cancer cell-targeted delivery.

Abstract
The main aims in the development of a novel drug delivery vehicle is to efficiently carry therapeutic drugs in the body's circulatory system and successfully deliver them to the targeted site as needed to safely achieve the desired therapeutic effect. In the present study, a passive targeted functionalised nanocarrier was fabricated or wrapped the hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) to prepare APTES-coated hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNAP). A nitrogen sorption analysis confirmed that the shape of hysteresis loops is altered, and subsequently the pore volume and pore diameters of GaC-HMSNAP was reduced by around 56 and 37%, respectively, when compared with HMSNAP. The physico-chemical characterisation studies of fabricated HMSNAP, Ga-HMSNAP and GaC-HMSNAP have confirmed their stability. The drug release capacity of the fabricated Ga-HMSNAP and GaC-HMSNAP for delivery of gallium and curcumin was evaluated in the phosphate buffered saline (pH 3.0, 6.0 and 7.4). In an in silico molecular docking study of the gallium-curcumin complex in PDI, calnexin, HSP60, PDK, caspase 9, Akt1 and PTEN were found to be strong binding. In vitro antitumor activity of both Ga-HMSNAP and GaC-HMSNAP treated MCF-7 cells was investigated in a dose and time-dependent manner. The IC50 values of GaC-HMSNAP (25 µM) were significantly reduced when compared with free gallium concentration (40 µM). The mechanism of gallium-mediated apoptosis was analyzed through western blotting and GaC-HMSNAP has increased caspases 9, 6, cleaved caspase 6, PARP, and GSK 3β(S9) in MCF-7 cells. Similarly, GaC-HMSNAP is reduced mitochondrial proteins such as prohibitin1, HSP60, and SOD1. The phosphorylation of oncogenic proteins such as Akt (S473), c-Raf (S249) PDK1 (S241) and induced cell death in MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, the findings revealed that Ga-HMSNAP and GaC-HMSNAP provide a controlled release of loaded gallium, curcumin and their complex. Altogether, our results depicted that GaC-HMNSAP induced cell death through the mitochondrial intrinsic cell death pathway, which could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for breast adenocarcinoma therapy.

Abstract
Endowing metal implants with multifunctional traits to prevent implant-associated infections and improve osseointegration has become a pivotal facet in orthopedics and dental fixation. Herein, we report the synthesis of mesoporous 70S bioactive glass-silk fibroin nanocomposites inspired by the biomimetic organo-apatites of mineralized collagen. The mesoporous, biomimetic nanocomposites enabled loading of antibiotics (gentamicin and doxycycline) and favored their release in a rapid manner while preserving their bioactivity. Ease in modification of the mesoporous nanocomposites enabled tailoring of 3-(aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane to the silanol network of bioactive glass, which improved the loading capacity of the hydrophobic drug (dexamethasone). The modification favored the slow and sustained release of dexamethasone from the modified mesoporous nanocomposites, which is desired for mediating osteogenesis and immunomodulation. Conformal coatings of these drug-loaded nanocomposites were materialized on stainless-steel implants through a facile electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique, wherein the deposition yield can be controlled by applied parameters. Antibiotic coatings exhibited antibacterial efficacy with bioactivity retained up to 28 days, while dexamethasone-loaded coatings favored mesenchymal stem cell adhesion and osteoinduction. The immunomodulatory roles were also ascertained, wherein M2 macrophage biasness was favored in dexamethasone-loaded coatings. The versatility of these mesoporous biomimetic nanocomposites guarantee the loading of scenario-specific drugs to aid their local delivery through the conformal EPD coatings developed over metal implants toward improving implant patency.

Abstract
Diverse glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) are produced by insect pests including Helicoverpa armigera (HaGSTs) for detoxification of insecticides or xenobiotic compounds that they encounter. In an earlier study, the HaGST-8 gene was isolated from H. armigera larvae exposed to pesticide mixtures and the recombinant protein was expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris. In this investigation, HaGST-8 was successfully immobilized on glutaraldehyde-activated APTES functionalized silica nanoparticles to obtain SiAPT-HaGST-8 nano-conjugates. Although enzyme activity associated with these conjugates was comparable to that of free HaGST-8, the specific activity of the former was found to be 1.25 times higher than the latter. In comparison with the free enzyme (that demonstrated a pH optimum of 9.0), for the nano-conjugates, the pH range was extended between pH 8.0 to 9.0. The optimum temperature for activity of both forms of the enzyme was found to be 30 °C. Stability of the enzyme was improved from 20 d for free HaGST-8 to 30 d for SiAPT-HaGST-8 nano-conjugates. Some loss in GST activity was detected after every reuse cycle of nano-conjugates and in all, 63% reduction was observed after three cycles. When 3 kinds of pesticides (namely, chlorpyrifos, dichlorvos and cypermethrin) were reacted with SiAPT-HaGST-8, more than 80% reduction in levels were observed. On the basis of the results obtained, the use of such silica nanoparticle-based systems for stable enzyme conjugation followed by effective removal of pesticides from aqueous media is envisaged.

Abstract
Synthetic and natural biomaterials are a promising alternative for the treatment of critical-sized bone defects. Several parameters such as their porosity, surface, and mechanical properties are extensively pointed out as key points to recapitulate the bone microenvironment. Many biomaterials with this pursuit are employed to provide a matrix, which can supply the specific environment and architecture for an adequate bone growth. Nevertheless, some queries remain unanswered. This review discusses the recent advances achieved by some synthetic and natural biomaterials to mimic the native structure of bone and the manufacturing technology applied to obtain biomaterial candidates. The focus of this review is placed in the recent advances in the development of biomaterial-based therapy for bone defects in different types of bone. In this context, this review gives an overview of the potentialities of synthetic and natural biomaterials: polyurethanes, polyesters, hyaluronic acid, collagen, titanium, and silica as successful candidates for the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
For the last 20 years, silica-based mesoporous materials have provided a sound platform for the development of biomedical technology applied to tissue engineering and drug delivery. Their unique structural and textural characteristics, chiefly, the ordered distribution of homogeneous and tunable pores with high surface areas and large pore volume, and their excellent biocompatibility provide an excellent starting point for bone tissue regeneration on the mesoporous surface, and also to load species of interest inside the pores. Adequate control of the synthesis conditions and functionalization of the mesoporous surface are critical factors in the design of new systems that are suitable for use in specific medical applications. Simultaneously, the use of appropriate characterization techniques in the several stages of design and manufacture of mesoporous particles allows us to ascertain the textural, structural and compositional modifications induced during the synthesis, functionalization and post-in vitro assays processes. In this scenario, the present paper shows, through several examples, the role of transmission electron microscopy and associated spectroscopic techniques in the search for useful information in the early design stages of mesoporous systems, with application in the fields of tissue regeneration and drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), has a potential to cure cancerous prostate tissue with minimal side effects. Traditional PDT, however, mostly utilized visible (VIS) light range with direct application of hydrophobic photosensitizers which may not be adequate in clinical practice for especially deep-seated cancer cells because of poor penetration of VIS wavelengths. Here, we report near infrared light (NIR) induced and dual photosensitizers (PS) encapsulated PDT strategy to reduce prostate cancer cells - PC3. The designed nanoplatform (MC540/ZnPc-UCNP@Au), in this study, include upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) synthesis to convert NIR light into multiple VIS wavelengths, porous silica coating to upload dual photosensitizers (MC540/ZnPc), and gold (Au) functionalization to enhance PDT treatment. High chemical stabilization provided MC540/ZnPc-UCNP@Au show excellent biocompatibility, and efficient PDT treatment for prostate cancer cells. In fact, the fluorescence of the synthesized nanoplatforms, upon NIR light excitation, can produce considerable amount of ROS in 5 min, as it is well matched with the absorption of MC540, ZnPc and Au nanoparticles (np). In addition, the easy visualization of cellular internalized/adsorbed nanoplatforms reveal the in situ cell imaging possibility for diagnosis. Based on the evidence of the results, NIR light activated MC540/ZnPc-UCNP@Au may offer a PDT technique for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Aims: The efficiency of mesoporous silica magnetic nanoparticles (MSMNP) as a targeted drug-delivery system was investigated. Methods: The superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NP) were synthesized, coated with mesoporous silica and conjugated with polyethylene glycol and methotrexate. Next, 1-methyl-D-tryptophan was loaded into the prepared nanosystems (NS). They were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, vibrating sample magnetometer, x-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method and their biological impacts on breast cancer cells were evaluated. Results: The prepared NSs displayed suitable properties and showed enhanced internalization by folate-receptor-expressing cells, exerting efficient cytotoxicity, which was further enhanced by the near-infrared radiation irradiation. Conclusion: On the basis of our findings, the engineered NS is a promising multifunctional nanomedicine/theranostic for solid tumors.

Abu-Dief A, Alsehli M, Al-Enizi A, Nafady A. Recent Advances in Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Targeted Drug Delivery applications. Curr Drug Deliv 2021; 19:436-450. [PMID: 34238185 DOI: 10.2174/1567201818666210708123007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Nanotechnology provides the means to design and fabricate delivery vehicles capable of overcoming physiologically imposed obstacles and undesirable side effects of systemic drug delivery. This protocol allows maximal targeting effectiveness and therefore enhances therapeutic efficiency. In recent years, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) have sparked interest in the nanomedicine research community, particularly for their promising applications in cancer treatment. The intrinsic physio-chemical stability, facile functionalization, high surface area, low toxicity, and great loading capacity for a wide range of chemotherapeutic agents make MSNPs very appealing candidates for controllable drug delivery systems. Importantly, the peculiar nanostructures of MSNPs enabled them to serve as an effective drug, gene, protein, and antigen delivery vehicle for a variety of therapeutic regimens. For these reasons, in this review article, we underscore the recent progress in the design and synthesis of MSNPs and the parameters influencing their characteristic features and activities. In addition, the process of absorption, dissemination, and secretion by injection or oral management of MSNPs are also discussed, as they are key directions for the potential utilization of MSNPs. Factors influencing the in vivo fate of MSNPs will also be highlighted, with the main focus on particle size, morphology, porosity, surface functionality, and oxidation. Given that combining other functional materials with MSNPs may increase their biological compatibility, monitor drug discharge, or improve absorption by tumor cells coated MSNPs; these aspects are also covered and discussed herein.

Abstract
Enzyme-powered nanomotors are an exciting technology for biomedical applications due to their ability to navigate within biological environments using endogenous fuels. However, limited studies into their collective behavior and demonstrations of tracking enzyme nanomotors in vivo have hindered progress toward their clinical translation. Here, we report the swarming behavior of urease-powered nanomotors and its tracking using positron emission tomography (PET), both in vitro and in vivo. For that, mesoporous silica nanoparticles containing urease enzymes and gold nanoparticles were used as nanomotors. To image them, nanomotors were radiolabeled with either 124I on gold nanoparticles or 18F-labeled prosthetic group to urease. In vitro experiments showed enhanced fluid mixing and collective migration of nanomotors, demonstrating higher capability to swim across complex paths inside microfabricated phantoms, compared with inactive nanomotors. In vivo intravenous administration in mice confirmed their biocompatibility at the administered dose and the suitability of PET to quantitatively track nanomotors in vivo. Furthermore, nanomotors were administered directly into the bladder of mice by intravesical injection. When injected with the fuel, urea, a homogeneous distribution was observed even after the entrance of fresh urine. By contrast, control experiments using nonmotile nanomotors (i.e., without fuel or without urease) resulted in sustained phase separation, indicating that the nanomotors' self-propulsion promotes convection and mixing in living reservoirs. Active collective dynamics, together with the medical imaging tracking, constitute a key milestone and a step forward in the field of biomedical nanorobotics, paving the way toward their use in theranostic applications.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with remarkable structural features have been proven to be an excellent platform for the delivery of therapeutic molecules. Biological barriers in various forms (e.g., mucosal barrier, cellular barrier, gastrointestinal barrier, blood-brain barrier, and blood-tumor barrier) present substantial obstacles for MSNs. The physicochemical parameters of MSNs are known to be effective and tunable not only for load and release of therapeutic molecules but also for their biological responsiveness that is beneficial for cells and tissues. This review innovatively provides a description of how and why physicochemical properties (e.g., particle size, morphology, surface charge, hydrophilic-hydrophobic property, and surface modification) of MSNs influence their ability to cross the biological barriers prior to reaching targeted sites. First, the structural and physiological features of biological barriers are outlined. Next, the recent progresses in the critical physicochemical parameters of MSNs are highlighted from physicochemical and biological aspects. Surface modification, as an important strategy for achieving rapid transport, is also reviewed with special attention to the latest findings of bioactive groups and molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, advanced designs of multifunction intelligent MSNs to surmount the blood-tumor barrier and to actively target tumor sites are demonstrated in detail. Lastly, the biodegradability and toxicity of MSNs are evaluated. With perspectives for their potential application and biosafety, the clues in summary might lead to drug delivery with high efficiency and provide useful knowledge for rational design of nanomaterials.

Orienting the Pore Morphology of Core-Shell Magnetic Mesoporous Silica with the Sol-Gel Temperature. Influence on MRI and Magnetic Hyperthermia Properties. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26040971.

Abstract
The controlled design of robust, well reproducible, and functional nanomaterials made according to simple processes is of key importance to envision future applications. In the field of porous materials, tuning nanoparticle features such as specific area, pore size and morphology by adjusting simple parameters such as pH, temperature or solvent is highly needed. In this work, we address the tunable control of the pore morphology of mesoporous silica (MS) nanoparticles (NPs) with the sol-gel reaction temperature (Tsg). We show that the pore morphology of MS NPs alone or of MS shell covering iron oxide nanoparticles (IO NPs) can be easily tailored with Tsg orienting either towards stellar (ST) morphology (large radial pore of around 10 nm) below 80 °C or towards a worm-like (WL) morphology (small randomly oriented pores channel network, of 3–4 nm pore size) above 80 °C. The relaxometric and magnetothermal features of IO@STMS or IO@WLMS core shell NPs having respectively stellar or worm-like morphologies are compared and discussed to understand the role of the pore structure for MRI and magnetic hyperthermia applications.

Abstract
Photolyases are enzymes that repair DNA damage caused by solar radiation. Due to their photorepair potential, photolyases added in topical creams and used in medical treatments has allowed to reverse skin damage and prevent the development of different diseases, including actinic keratosis, premature photoaging and cancer. For this reason, research has been oriented to the study of new photolyases performing in extreme environments, where high doses of UV radiation may be a key factor for these enzymes to have perfected their photorepair potential. Generally, the extracted enzymes are first encapsulated and then added to the topical creams to increase their stability. However, other well consolidated immobilization methods are interesting strategies to be studied that may improve the biocatalyst performance. This review aims to go through the different Antarctic organisms that have exhibited photoreactivation activity, explaining the main mechanisms of photolyase DNA photorepair. The challenges of immobilizing these enzymes on porous and nanostructured supports is also discussed. The comparison of the most reported immobilization methods with respect to the structure of photolyases show that both covalent and ionic immobilization methods produced an increase in their stability. Moreover, the use of nanosized materials as photolyase support would permit the incorporation of the biocatalyst into the target cell, which is a technological requirement that photolyase based biocatalysts must fulfill.

Efficacy-shaping nanomedicine by loading Calcium Peroxide into Tumor Microenvironment-responsive Nanoparticles for the Antitumor Therapy of Prostate Cancer. Theranostics 2020; 10:9808-9829. [PMID: 32863961 PMCID: PMC7449903 DOI: 10.7150/thno.43631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2020] [Accepted: 07/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Prostate cancer has become one of the most threatening malignant tumors in men, leading to an imperative need to develop effective and safe therapies. Because of the unique metabolism of tumor cells, the tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibits distinctive properties compared with normal tissues, among which the pH difference has been utilized as an ideal antitumor strategy. Herein, we introduce a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-controlled-release nanosystem with TME-responsiveness by applying hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) as carriers loaded with calcium peroxide (CaO2) and coated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) to construct the functional material CaO2@HMSNs-PAA. The differences in pH values and exogenous ROS scavenging abilities between the tumor tissue and normal tissues and the dual pH-responsiveness from CaO2 and PAA lay a scientific foundation for the application of CaO2@HMSNs-PAA in the tumor-selective therapy for prostate cancer. Methods: The morphology and the structure of the nanosystem were characterized by the transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential, dynamic light scattering measurement, low-angle X-ray diffraction patterns and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm. The CaO2 loading capacity and release profiles in different buffer solutions were determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The in vitro intracellular uptake of CaO2@HMSNs-PAA was explored on the PC-3 prostate cancer cell line via confocal laser scanning microscopy. The CCK-8 cell proliferation assay was conducted to evaluate the cytotoxicity of CaO2@HMSNs-PAA against PC-3 cells. ROS produced by CaO2@HMSNs-PAA was observed by a fluorescence microscope. The flow cytometry was utilized to analyze the apoptosis of PC-3 cells induced by CaO2@HMSNs-PAA. The Western blot analysis was performed to detect expressions of critical mitochondria-mediated apoptosis markers in PC-3 cells after incubation with CaO2@HMSNs-PAA. The in vivo biosafety and antitumor efficacy were evaluated out on BALB/c mice and BALB/c nude mice subcutaneously transplanted with PC-3 cells, respectively. Results: Comprehensive characterizations indicated the successful synthesis of CaO2@HMSNs-PAA with significant TME-responsiveness. The experimental results demonstrated that the well-developed nanocarrier could efficiently deliver CaO2 to the tumor site and release ROS in response to the decreased pH value of TME, exerting ideal antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo by activating the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis pathway. Simultaneously, this nanoplatform caused no detectable damage to normal tissues. Conclusions: After loading into the above nanocomposite, the free CaO2 without a significant antitumor effect can exert excellent antitumor efficacy by responsively releasing ROS under the acidic TME to induce the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis via remarkable oxidative stress and simultaneously minimize damages to normal tissues. The current study presents a new concept of “efficacy-shaping nanomedicine” for the tumor-selective treatment of prostate cancer.

Abstract
This paper introduces the synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with three different groups such as amine, thiol, and sulfonic acid, along the internal surface. Trimethyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride was used to modify the external surface of the nanomaterials. Such materials allow control of the drug release from MSN pores. Multifunctional MSNs were loaded with doxycycline (Doxy) to study their capacities and uploading time. The loading profile indicates that sulfonic groups in the internal surface were the most efficient surfaces with a loading capacity of ca. 35% in 90 min in acidic media.

Abstract
In industry, silica nanoparticles (NPs) are obtained by the fuming and the precipitation method. Fumed silica NPs are commonly used in the preparation of nanocomposites because they have an extremely low bulk density (160-190 kg/m3), large surface area (50-600 m2/g), and nonporous surface, which promotes strong physical contact between the NPs and the organic phase. Fumed silica has fewer silanol groups (Si-OH) on its surface than the silica prepared by the Stöber method. However, the number of -OH groups on the fumed silica surface can be increased by pretreating them with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) before further surface modification. In this study, the effectiveness of the NaOH pretreatment was evaluated on commercial fumed silica NPs with a surface area of 200 m2/g. The number of surface -OH groups was estimated by potentiometric titration. The pretreated fumed NPs, and the precipitated NPs (prepared by the Stöber method) were modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) to obtain A200S and nSiO2-APTES, respectively. The NPs were characterized using electron dispersive scanning (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) analysis, and ζ-potential. XRD confirmed the presence of the organo-functional group on the surface of both NPs. After the amino-functionalization, the ζ-potential values of the nSiO2 and A200 changed from -35.5 mV and -14.4 mV to +26.2 mV and +11.76 mV, respectively. Consequently, we have successfully synthesized functionalized NPs with interesting, specific surface area and porosity (pore volume and size), which can be attractive materials for chemical and energy industries.

Abstract
The inert and surface tunable nature of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) makes them suitable for different applications. We have evaluated the potential of SiNPs for delivering proteins in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants. SiNPs of 20 and 100 nm (Si20 and Si100) were functionalized with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) to obtain Si20APT and Si100APT, respectively, that were non-toxic toward plants. The functionalized nanoparticles were taken up by plants through roots as well as leaf surfaces. They were seen to be localized near the vasculature, particularly around the xylem. Si20APT and Si100APT nanoparticles were conjugated with soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) to yield Si20APT-STI and Si100APT-STI, respectively. Based on the trypsin inhibitory activity of loaded nanoparticles, optimum loading was obtained for 0.4 mg of STI per 0.8 mg of NPs. Si20APT nanoparticles retained higher contents of STI than Si100APT. Exposure of STI-conjugated nanoparticles to 25°C or pH 8.0 aided release of the inhibitor. The particle bound STI inhibited bovine trypsin by 80% and Helicoverpa armigera gut proteinase (HGP) activity by 50%. Second instar H. armigera larvae ingesting STI-loaded particles (incorporated in artificial diet or leaves) showed significant retardation in growth. In choice assays, Si20APT-STI applied leaf discs were strikingly avoided by insect larvae. On the basis of the results obtained in this investigation, we recommend the use of Si20 nanoparticles for developing plant delivery vehicles in the future.

Abstract
In this work, two types of mesoporous carbon particles with different morphology, size, and pore structure have been functionalized with a self-immolative polymer sensitive to changes in pH and tested as drug nanocarriers. It is shown that their textural properties allow significantly higher loading capacity compared to typical mesoporous silica nanoparticles. In vial release experiments of a model Ru dye at pH 7.4 and 5 confirm the pH-responsiveness of the hybrid systems, showing that only small amounts of the cargo are released at physiological pH, whereas at slightly acidic pH (e.g., that of lysosomes), self-immolation takes place and a significant amount of the cargo is released. Cytotoxicity studies using human osteosarcoma cells show that the hybrid nanocarriers are not cytotoxic by themselves but induce significant cell growth inhibition when loaded with a chemotherapeutic drug such as doxorubicin. In preparation of an in vivo application, in vial responsiveness of the hybrid system to short-term pH-triggering is confirmed. The consecutive in vivo study shows no substantial cargo release over a period of 96 h under physiological pH conditions. Short-term exposure to acidic pH releases an experimental fluorescent cargo during and continuously after the triggering period over 72 h.

Abstract
Gold-based nanostructures with tunable wavelength of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biowindow receive increasing attention in phototheranostics. In view of limited progress on NIR-II gold nanostructures, a particular liposome template-guided route is explored to synthesize novel gold nanoframeworks (AuNFs) with large mesopores (≈40 nm) for multimodal imaging along with therapeutic robustness. The synthesized AuNFs exhibit strong absorbance in NIR-II region, affording their capacity of NIR-II photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging for deep tumors. Functionalization of AuNFs with hyaluronic acid (HA) endows the targeting capacity for CD44-overexpressed tumor cells while gatekeeping doxorubicin (DOX) loaded into mesopores. Conjugation of Raman reporter 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) onto AuNFs yields a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) fingerprint for Raman spectroscopy/imaging. In vivo evaluation of HA-4-ATP-AuNFs-DOX on tumor-bearing xenografts demonstrates its high efficacy in eradication of solid tumors in NIR-II under PA-Raman dual image-guided photo-chemotherapy. Thus, current AuNFs offer versatile capabilities for phototheranostics.

Abstract
The capacity of an adsorbent to bind and remove dye from solution greatly depends on the type of functionalization present on the nanoparticles surface, and its interaction with the dye molecules. Within this study, nitrogenous silane nanoparticles were hydrothermally synthesized resulting in the formation of rapid and highly efficient adsorbents for concentrated mixed dyes. The amorphous silane nanoparticles exhibited a monolayer based mechanism of mixed dye adsorption with removal capacities between 416.67 and 714.29 mg/g of adsorbent. Dye removal was predominantly due to the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged silane nanoparticles (13.22-8.20 mV) and the negatively charged dye molecules (-54.23 mV). Addition of H. annuus extract during synthesis resulted in three times the surface area and 10 times increased pore volume compared to the positive control. XPS analysis showed that silane treatments had various nitrogen containing functionalities at their surface responsible for binding dye. The weak colloidal stability of silane particles (13.22-8.20 mV) was disrupted following dye binding, resulting in their rapid coagulation and flocculation which facilitated the separation of bound dye molecules from solution. The suitability for environmental applications using these treatments was supported by a bacterial viability assay showing >90% cell viability in treated dye supernatants.

Abstract
This work explored absorption efficacy via an in vivo imaging system and parallel artificial membrane penetration in indomethacin (IMC) solid dispersion (SD) systems. Two different polymer excipients—hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and Kollicoat IR as precipitation inhibitors (PIs)—combined with mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as carriers were investigated. The IMC–SDs were prepared using the solvent evaporation method and characterized by solubility analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was confirmed that IMC successfully changed into an amorphous state after loading into the designed carriers. The in vitro release and stability experiments were conducted to examine the in vitro dissolution rates of IMC–SDs combined with HPMC and Kollicoat IR as PIs which both improved approximately three-fold to that of the pure drug. Finally, in vivo studies and in vitro parallel artificial membrane penetration (PAMPA) experiments ensured the greater ability of enhancing the dissolution rates of pure IMC in the gastrointestinal tract by oral delivery. In brief, this study highlights the prominent role of HPMC and Kollicoat IR as PIs in MSN SD systems in improving the bioavailability and gastrointestinal oral absorption efficiency of indomethacin.

Abstract
The present study describes synthesis of amino-decorated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for sustained delivery and enhanced bioavailability of sofosbuvir. Sofosbuvir is active against hepatitis C virus and pharmaceutically classified as class III drug according to biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS). MSNs were synthesized using modified sol-gel method and the surface was decorated with amino functionalization. Drug loaded MSNs were also grafted with polyvinyl alcohol in order to compare it with the amino-decorated MSNs for sustained drug release. The prepared MSNs were extensively characterized and the optimized formulation was toxicologically and pharmacokinetically evaluated. The functionalized MSNs of 196 nm size entrapped 29.13% sofosbuvir in the pores, which was also confirmed by the decrease in surface area, pore volume and pore size. The drug-loaded amino-decorated MSNs revealed an improved thermal stability as confirmed by thermal analysis. Amino-decorated MSNs exhibited Fickian diffusion controlled sofosbuvir release as compared with non-functionalized and PVA grafted MSNs. Amino-decorated MSNs were deemed safe to use in Sprague-Dawley rats after 14-days exposure as confirmed by the toxicological studies. More interestingly, we achieved a 2-fold higher bioavailability of sofosbuvir in Sprague-Dawley rats in comparison with sofosbuvir alone, and the Tmax was delayed 3-times indicating a sustained release of sofosbuvir.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes makes up approximately 85% of all diabetic cases and it is linked to approximately one-third of all hospitalisations. Newer therapies with long-acting biologics such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues have been promising in managing the disease, but they cannot reverse the pathology of the disease. Additionally, their parenteral administration is often associated with high healthcare costs, risk of infections, and poor patient adherence associated with phobia of needles. Oral delivery of these compounds would significantly improve patient compliance; however, poor enzymatic stability and low permeability across the gastrointestinal tract makes this task challenging. In the present work, large pore dendritic silica nanoparticles (DSNPs) with a pore size of ~10 nm were prepared, functionalized, and optimized in order to achieve high peptide loading and improve intestinal permeation of exenatide, a GLP-1 analogue. Compared to the loading capacity of the most popular, Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41 (MCM-41) with small pores, DSNPs showed significantly high loading owing to their large and dendritic pore structure. Among the tested DSNPs, pristine and phosphonate-modified DSNPs (PDSNPs) displayed remarkable loading of 40 and 35% w/w, respectively. Furthermore, particles successfully coated with positively charged chitosan reduced the burst release of exenatide at both pH 1.2 and 6.8. Compared with free exenatide, both chitosan-coated and uncoated PDSNPs enhanced exenatide transport through the Caco-2 monolayer by 1.7 fold. Interestingly, when a triple co-culture model of intestinal permeation was used, chitosan-coated PDSNPs performed better compared to both PDSNPs and free exenatide, which corroborated our hypothesis behind using chitosan to interact with mucus and improve permeation. These results indicate the emerging role of large pore silica nanoparticles as promising platforms for oral delivery of biologics such as exenatide.
