Abstract
Inspired by natural catalytic compartments, various synthetic compartments that seclude catalytic reactions have been developed to understand complex multistep biosynthetic pathways, bestow therapeutic effects, or extend biosynthetic pathways in living cells. These emerging nanoreactors possessed many advantages over conventional biomedicine, such as good catalytic activity, specificity, and sustainability. In the past decade, a great number of efficient catalytic systems based on diverse nanoreactors (polymer vesicles, liposome, polymer micelles, inorganic-organic hybrid materials, MOFs, etc.) have been designed and employed to initiate in situ catalyzed chemical reactions for therapy. This review aims to present the recent progress in the development of catalytic systems based on nanoreactors for therapeutic applications, with a special emphasis on the principles and design strategies. Besides, the key components of nanoreactor-based catalytic systems, including nanocarriers, triggers or energy inputs, and products, are respectively introduced and discussed in detail. Challenges and prospects in the fabrication of therapeutic catalytic nanoreactors are also discussed as a conclusion to this review. We believe that catalytic nanoreactors will play an increasingly important role in modern biomedicine, with improved therapeutic performance and minimal side effects.

Helical β-isoindigo-Based Chromophores with B-O-B Bridge: Facile Synthesis and Tunable Near-Infrared Circularly Polarized Luminescence. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202218023. [PMID: 36583391 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202218023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
It is essential to create organic compounds that exhibit circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in the near-infrared (NIR) range. Helicene-type emitters possess appealing chiroptical features, however, such NIR molecules are scarce due to a paucity of synthetic strategies. Herein, we developed a series of helical β-isoindigo-based B-O-B bridged aza-BODIPY analogs that were synthesized conveniently. The reaction of diimino-β-isoindigo with a heteroaromatic amine produced a restricted ligand cavity, which triggered off the generation of a B-O-B bridge. The B-O-B bridge led to distorted conformations that satisfy the helical requirements, resulting in excellent spectroscopic and chiroptical properties. Tunable CPL with the highest luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum ) of 1.3×10-3 and a CPL brightness (BCPL =11.5 M-1 cm-1 ) in the NIR region was achieved. This synthetic approach is expected to offer a new opportunity to chiral chemistry and increase flexibility for chiroptical tuning.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, multidisciplinary investigations into the development of nanoparticles for medical applications have continually increased. However, nanoparticles are still subject to biological barriers and biodistribution challenges, which limit their overall clinical potential. This has motivated the implementation of innovational modifications to a range of nanoparticle formulations designed for cancer imaging and/or cancer treatment to overcome specific barriers and shift the accumulation of payloads toward the diseased tissues. In recent years, novel technological and chemical approaches have been employed to modify or functionalize the surface of nanoparticles or manipulate the characteristics of nanoparticles. Combining these approaches with the identification of critical biomarkers provides new strategies for enhancing nanoparticle specificity for both cancer diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This review discusses the most recent advances in the design and engineering of nanoparticles as well as future directions for developing the next generation of nanomedicines.

Abstract
Smart polymer-based micro/nanoassemblies have emerged as a promising alternative for transporting and delivering a myriad of cargo. Cargo encapsulation into (or linked to) polymeric micro/nanocarrier (PC) strategies may help to conserve cargo activity and functionality when interacting with its surroundings in its journey to the target. PCs for cargo phototriggering allow for excellent spatiotemporal control via irradiation as an external stimulus, thus regulating the delivery kinetics of cargo and potentially increasing its therapeutic effect. Micromotors based on PCs offer an accelerated cargo-medium interaction for biomedical, environmental, and many other applications. This review collects the recent achievements in PC development based on nanomicelles, nanospheres, and nanopolymersomes, among others, with enhanced properties to increase cargo protection and cargo release efficiency triggered by ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, including light-stimulated polymeric micromotors for propulsion, cargo transport, biosensing, and photo-thermal therapy. We emphasize the challenges of positioning PCs as drug delivery systems, as well as the outstanding opportunities of light-stimulated polymeric micromotors for practical applications.

Abstract
Zinc (zeolitic) imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) has been widely considered in the literature as an ideal candidate for drug delivery especially anti-cancer drugs. However, the available information on the biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of ZIF-8 nanoparticles is contradictory. Therefore, in the present study, the ZIF-8 particles were synthetized, characterized, and their potential toxicity on two eukaryotic cell lines including human embryonic kidney (HEK293) and human colon cancer (SW480) cells was investigated in vitro. The characterization of ZIF-8 particles by TEM, EDX, SEM, and DLS indicated the synthesis of the hexagonal crystals with mean diameter of 124.71±32.74 nm and the presence of the zinc element at 86.25% by weight (wt%) of the ZIF-8 structure. The results of the cytotoxicity assessment of ZIF-8 NPs showed that the viability of two different cell lines reduced significantly coincident with increasing exposure concentration from 0 to 500 μg mL-1 (P<0.05). The 24-h half-inhibitory concentration (IC50-24 h) values of ZIF-8 NPs for HEK293 and SW480 cell lines were 116.22 and 36.23 μg mL-1, respectively. We found that the viability of SW480 cells was significantly lower than the HEK293 cells in all exposure concentrations of ZIF-8 NPs except control. Exposure of both cells resulted in increasing of the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and activation of apoptosis pathway. The apoptosis rate of cancer SW480 cells was higher than the normal HEK293 cells. These findings indicate that synthetized ZIF-8 NPs could be a candidate for cancer therapy, although their toxic effects on the normal cells also should be considered.

Abstract
Recently, tremendous attention has been evoked in the discovery of defect-engineered nanomaterials for near-infrared second window (NIR-II)-driven cancer therapy. Herein, we have constructed a novel type of carbon defects enriched in boron carbide nanomaterial (denoted as B4C@C) through reacting B4C and glucose by a hydrothermal method. The carbon defect concentration in B4C@C has been significantly increased after coating with glucose; thus, B4C@C exhibited a distinct photothermal response under the NIR-II window and the efficiency of photothermal conversion is determined to reach 45.4%, which is higher than the carbon-based nanomaterials in the NIR-II region. Both Raman spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra reveal that B4C@C has rich sp2-hybridized carbon defects and effectively increases the NIR-II window light absorption capacity, thus enhancing the nonradiative recombination rate and improving the NIR-II photothermal effect. Furthermore, the B4C@C nanosheets allows for tumor phototherapy and simultaneous photoacoustic imaging. This work indicates the huge potential of B4C@C as a novel photothermal agent, which might arise much attention in exploring boron-based nanomaterials for the advantage of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a category of cancers that typically arise from the nose-, mouth-, and throat-lining squamous cells. The later stage of HNC diagnosis significantly affects the patient's survival rate. This makes it mandatory to diagnose this cancer with a suitable biomarker and imaging techniques at the earlier stages of growth. There are limitations to traditional technologies for early detection of HNC. Furthermore, the use of nanocarriers for delivering chemo-, radio-, and phototherapeutic drugs represents a promising approach for improving the outcome of HNC treatments. Several studies with nanostructures focus on the development of a targeted and sustained release of anticancer molecules with reduced side effects. Besides, nanovehicles could allow co-delivering of anticancer drugs for synergistic activity to counteract chemo- or radioresistance. Additionally, a new generation of smart nanomaterials with stimuli-responsive properties have been developed to distinguish between unique tumor conditions and healthy tissue. In this light, the present article reviews the mechanisms used by different nanostructures (metallic and metal oxide nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, quantum dots, liposomes, nanomicelles, etc.) to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment, provides an up-to-date picture of the state of the art in this field, and highlights the major challenges for future improvements.

Abstract
Preparation of near-infrared (NIR) emissive fluorophore for imaging-guided PDT (photodynamic therapy) has attracted enormous attention. Hence, NIR photosensitizers of two-photon (TP) fluorescent imaging and photodynamic therapy are highly desirable. In this contribution, a novel D-π-A structured NIR photosensitizer (TTRE) is synthesized. TTRE demonstrates near-infrared (NIR) emission, good biocompatibility, and superior photostability, which can act as TP fluorescent agent for clear visualization of cells and vascular in tissue with deep-tissue penetration. The PDT efficacy of TTRE as photosensitizer is exploited in vitro and in vivo. All these results confirm that TTRE would serve as potential platform for TP fluorescence imaging and imaging-guided photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
The efficient and selective delivery of therapeutic drugs to the target site remains the main obstacle in the development of new drugs and therapeutic interventions. Up until today, nanomicelles have shown their prospective as nanocarriers for drug delivery owing to their small size, good biocompatibility, and capacity to effectively entrap lipophilic drugs in their core. Nanomicelles are formed via self-assembly in aqueous media of amphiphilic molecules into well-organized supramolecular structures. Molecular weights and structure of the core and corona forming blocks are important properties that will determine the size of nanomicelles and their shape. Selective delivery is achieved via novel design of various stimuli-responsive nanomicelles that release drugs based on endogenous or exogenous stimulations such as pH, temperature, ultrasound, light, redox potential, and others. This review summarizes the emerging micellar nanocarriers developed with various designs, their outstanding properties, and underlying principles that grant targeted and continuous drug delivery. Finally, future perspectives, and challenges for nanomicelles are discussed based on the current achievements and remaining issues.

Abstract
Compared to normal tissues, unique conditions in the tumor microenvironment, such as a lower pH, can induce accurate release of a drug into specific lesions. This strategy provides an efficient approach to overcome the issues of unexpected drug leakage and poor circulation stability, thereby reducing the side effects and enhancing the effect of cancer treatment. In this study, we designed a class of acid activatable supramolecular nano-prodrugs (DOM@DOX) with a bottlebrush architecture based on the dextran (DEX) polysaccharide, which connects with a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol chain by atom transfer radical polymerization and further conjugates with an anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) at the backbone of the copolymer via an acidity-responsive hydrazine bond. Furthermore, the DOM@DOX prodrug has a high drug loading up to 48 wt% for DOX, and the prodrug can maintain a stable nano-sized spherical shape in aqueous solution by a self-assembly strategy. In an acidic environment inside tumor cells, the hydrazine bond of the prodrug breaks, leading to the release of DOX from parental micelles. Owing to the small size of the carrier, the prodrug exhibits good intratumoral permeability, good circulation stability and significant tumor suppression efficiency in tumor-bearing mouse models, which is beneficial for the development of new generation nanomedicine for enhanced chemotherapy.

Abstract
The nascent field of theranostics, which couples targeted therapy with diagnostics, has catalyzed efforts toward improved nanoprobe designs that facilitate both localized treatment and diagnostic imaging. Rare-earth-doped nanoparticles (RENPs) have emerged as a leading candidate for theranostics because of their versatile synthesis and modification chemistries, photostability, and relative safety. Furthermore, their bright, tunable fluorescence using near-infrared (NIR) excitation enables multispectral imaging with high signal-to-background ratios. In this work, we have synthesized double-shelled RENPs with tunable properties for optimal fluorescent imaging, photoacoustic imaging, and photothermal therapy. The properties of the double-shelled RENPs were tailored by controlling the density of rare-earth ions (i.e., activator or sensitizer) by using either a functional amorphous organic or a crystalline outermost shell. This study systematically analyzes the effects of the functional organic or inorganic outermost shell on the imaging and photothermal conversion properties of our RENPs. Despite the weaker infrared absorption enhancement, the functional organic outermost shell impregnated with a low density of rare-earth ions led to minimal reduction of fluorescence emissions. In contrast, the higher density of rare-earth ions in the inorganic shell led to higher infrared absorption and consequently significant reduction in emissions arising from the undesired optical attenuation. Inorganic shell thickness was therefore modified to reduce the deleterious attenuation, leading to brighter emissions that also enabled the in vitro SWIR detection of ∼2500 cells/cluster. Using the enhanced infrared properties that arise from this functional inorganic layer, which could be engineered to respond to either NIR or SWIR, we demonstrated that (1) bright SWIR emissions allowed detection of small cell clusters; (2) strong PA signals allowed clear visualization of particle distribution within tumors; and (3) strong photothermal effects resulted in localized elevated temperatures. Collectively, these results highlight the utility of these double-shelled RENPs as theranostic agents that are compatible with both photoacoustic or fluorescent imaging platforms.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin-3-gallatea (EGCG), a key component of tea, has been found to have anticancer activity but poor stability. To improve its antioxidative stability and widen the application of EGCG in anticancer therapy, a kind of EGCG derivative, EGCG palmitate (PEGCG), was synthesized and encapsulated in ZIF-8 nanoparticles with functionalization of folic acid (FA), which is commonly used as pH-responsive drug carrier. PEGCG encapsulated in polyethylene glycol (PEG)-FA/ZIF-8 nanoparticles (PEG-FA/PEGCG@ZIF-8 NPs) exhibits sixfold improvement of stability compared to that of free PEGCG. With target recognition between folic acid (FA) on the surface of NPs and overexpressed FA receptor (FR) in cancer cells, the NPs can be efficiently internalized into cells and present targeted effects of inhibition growth on HeLa cells (cancer cells) compared with HEK 293 cells (normal cells), consistent with the regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and the induction of autophagy. The detection of autophagy flux and the measurement of autophagy marked proteins in cells suggest that autophagy flux and the autophagosome formation are appreciably induced when the cells were treated with PEG-FA/PEGCG@ZIF-8 NPs. It indicates that pH-responsive PEG-FA/PEGCG@ZIF-8 NPs with target identification for cancer cells can be used as highly efficient drug carriers in targeting cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment for many diseases, including infections and tumors. Nevertheless, clinical utilization of PDT is severely restricted due to the shortcomings of the photosensitizers, especially their low water solubility and poor tumor selectivity. iRGD (internalizing RGD, CRGDKGPDC), a nine-unit cyclic peptide, was applied as an active ligand to realize tumor homing and tissue penetration. Herein, we innovatively fabricated a novel OFF-ON mode iRGD-based peptide amphiphile (PA) to self-assemble into spherical nanovesicles to enhance the tumor-targeting and tumor-penetrating efficacy of PDT. To introduce the self-assembling feature into iRGD, a hydrophilic arginine-rich sequence and hydrophobic alkyl chains were sequentially linked to the iRGD motif. A short proline sequence was selected to control the morphology of the self-assembled aggregates. Next, the photosensitizer hypocrellin B (HB) was encapsulated into PA vesicles with a high loading efficiency. The aggregation-caused quenching effect inactivated HB in the PA vesicles; however, the iRGD-peptide-based material was able to be selectively degraded in tumor cells. Thus, the HB fluorescence was recovered to achieve tumor-targeted imaging. This approach endows HB-loaded PA vesicles (HB-PA) with tumor-targeted activation, preferable tumor accumulation, and deep tumor penetration, thus leading to an excellent fluorescence-imaging-guided photodynamic efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. These amphiphilic iRGD aggregates provide a novel strategy for improving the accumulation, penetration, and imaging-guided photodynamic efficacy of photosensitizers.
