Abstract
Nucleoside analogues are established treatments for cancer and viral infection. Gemcitabine is a commonly employed nucleoside analogue displaying anticancer properties against a range of tumor types but is rapidly inactivated in vivo. Efforts to bolster its pharmaceutical profile include investigating prodrug forms. Herein, we explore the synthesis of a novel glucose-gemcitabine glycoconjugate, targeting uptake via glucose transport. We select a redox-reactive disulfide linker for conjugation of gemcitabine (through N4-cytosine) with glucose. Evaluation of this glycoconjugate reveals increased toxicity against androgen insensitive PC3 prostate cancer cells compared to LNCaP (which have lower levels of glucose transporter GLUT1). These preliminary results suggest that glycoconjugation of nucleosides may be an effective approach to targeting cells which display increased uptake and metabolism of glucose.

Abstract
To achieve drug release from polymer prodrug nanoparticles, the drug-polymer linker must be accessible for cleavage to release the drug, which can occur under certain physiological conditions (e.g., presence of specific enzymes). Supramolecular organization of polymer prodrug nanoparticles is crucial as it greatly affects the location of the linker, its surface exposure/solvation and thus its cleavage to release the drug. Since experimental access to these data is not straightforward, new methodologies are critically needed to access this information and to accelerate the development of more effective polymer prodrug nanoparticles, and replace the time-consuming and resource-intensive traditional trial-and-error strategy. In this context, we reported here the use of a coarse-grained model to assist the design of polymer prodrug nanoparticles with enhanced cytotoxicity. By choosing the solvent accessible surface area as the critical parameter for predicting drug release and hence cytotoxicity of polymer prodrug nanoparticles, we developed an optimized polymer-drug linker with enhanced hydrophilicity and solvation. Our hypothesis was then experimentally validated by the synthesis of the corresponding polymer prodrugs based on two different drugs (gemcitabine and paclitaxel), which demonstrated greater performances in terms of drug release and cytotoxicity on two cancer cell lines. Interestingly, our methodology can be easily applied to other polymer prodrug structures, which would contribute to the development of more efficient drug delivery systems via in silico screening.

Abstract
Gemcitabine (Gem) has been a standard first-line drug for pancreatic cancer (PCa) treatment; however, Gem's rapid metabolism and systemic instability (short half-life) limit its clinical outcome. The objective of this study was to modify Gem into a more stable form called 4-(N)-stearoyl-gemcitabine (4NSG) and evaluate its therapeutic efficacy in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models from PCa of Black and White patients.Methods 4NSG was synthesized and characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), elemental analysis, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). 4NSG-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (4NSG-SLN) were developed using the cold homogenization technique and characterized. Patient-derived pancreatic cancer cell lines labeled Black (PPCL-192, PPCL-135) and White (PPCL-46, PPCL-68) were used to assess the in vitro anticancer activity of 4NSG-SLN. Pharmacokinetics (PK) and tumor efficacy studies were conducted using PDX mouse models bearing tumors from Black and White PCa patients.Results 4NSG was significantly stable in liver microsomal solution. The effective mean particle size (hydrodynamic diameter) of 4NSG-SLN was 82 ± 6.7 nm, and the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 4NSG-SLN treated PPCL-192 cells (9 ± 1.1 µM); PPCL-135 (11 ± 1.3 µM); PPCL-46 (12 ± 2.1) and PPCL-68 equaled to 22 ± 2.6 were found to be significantly lower compared to Gem treated PPCL-192 (57 ± 1.5 µM); PPCL-135 (56 ± 1.5 µM); PPCL-46 (56 ± 1.8 µM) and PPCL-68 (57 ± 2.4 µM) cells. The area under the curve (AUC), half-life, and pharmacokinetic clearance parameters for 4NSG-SLN were 3-fourfold higher than that of GemHCl. For in-vivo studies, 4NSG-SLN exhibited a two-fold decrease in tumor growth compared with GemHCl in PDX mice bearing Black and White PCa tumors.Conclusion 4NSG-SLN significantly improved the Gem's pharmacokinetic profile, enhanced Gem's systemic stability increased its antitumor efficacy in PCa PDX mice bearing Black and White patient tumors.

Abstract
Gemcitabine (Gem), a nucleoside analog, is a preferred choice of treatment for pancreatic cancer (PCa) and often used in combination therapy against wide range of solid tumors. It is known to be rapidly inactivated in blood by cytidine deaminase. The objective of the study was to improve the systemic stability and anticancer activity of modified Gem termed 4-N-stearoylGem (4NSG) In this study, the IC50 values of 4NSG treated MiaPaCa-2 and primary pancreatic cancer (PPCL-46) cultures were significantly lower when compared with gemcitabine hydrochloride (GemHCl) treated cultures. In acute toxicity study, liver enzyme level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of the control mice was not significantly different from AST levels of 4NSG and GemHCl treated mice. However, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level of control mice (67 ± 5 mUnits/mL) was significantly lower compared with ALT levels of GemHCl (232 ± 28 mUnits/mL) and that of 4NSG (172 ± 22 mUnits/mL) (p < 0.0001). More importantly, ALT level of 4NSG was lower than ALT level of GemHCl (p < 0.05). Although ALT levels were elevated, pathological images of liver and kidney tissues of control, GemHCl and 4NSG treated mice revealed no architectural changes and no significant change in mice weight was observed during treatment. The bioavailability (AUC) of 4NSG was 3-fold high and significantly inhibited the tumor growth as compared with equivalent dose of GemHCl. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that 4NSG significantly inhibited the expression vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor. The study is unique because it established, for the first time, enhanced anticancer activity of 4NSG against pancreatic patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse model and PPCL-46 cells compared with Gem. 4SGN enhanced pharmacokinetic profile and improved the therapeutic efficacy of the standard-of-care Gem. Lastly, 4GSN showed a remarkable tumor growth inhibition and revealed significant antiangiogenic activity in 4GSN treated pancreatic PDX tumor.

Abstract
Nanoparticles may provide a viable way for neuroprotective drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the passage of most drugs from the peripheral circulation to the brain. Heterotelechelic polymer prodrugs comprising a neuroprotective model drug (adenosine) and a maleimide functionality were synthesized by the "drug-initiated" approach and subsequent nitroxide exchange reaction. Nanoparticles were obtained by nanoprecipitation and exhibited high colloidal stability with diameters in the 162-185 nm range and narrow size distributions. Nanoparticles were then covalently surface-conjugated to different proteins (albumin, α2-macroglobulin and fetuin A) to test their capability of enhancing BBB translocation. Their performances in terms of endothelial permeability and cellular uptake in an in vitro BBB model were compared to that of similar nanoparticles with surface-adsorbed proteins, functionalized or not with the drug. It was shown that bare NPs (i.e., NPs not surface-functionalized with proteins) without the drug exhibited significant permeability and cellular uptake, which were further enhanced by NP surface functionalization with α2-macroglobulin. However, the presence of the drug at the polymer chain-end prevented efficient passage of all types of NPs through the BBB model, likely due to adecrease in the hydrophobicity of the nanoparticle surface and alteration of the protein binding/coupling, respectively. These results established a new and facile synthetic approach for the surface-functionalization of polymer nanoparticles for brain delivery purposes.

Abstract
Degradable polymer prodrugs based on gemcitabine (Gem) as an anticancer drug were synthesized by 'drug-initiated' nitroxide-mediated radical ring-opening copolymerization (NMrROP) of methacrylic esters and 2-methylene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane (MPDL). Different structural parameters were varied to determine the best biological performances: the nature of the monomer [i.e., oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA) or methyl methacrylate (MMA)], the nature of the Gem-polymer linker (i.e., amide or amide and diglycolate) and the MPDL content in the copolymer. Depending on the nature of the methacrylate monomer, two small libraries of water-soluble copolymer prodrugs and nanoparticles were obtained (M n ∼10 000 g mol-1, Đ = 1.1-1.5), which exhibited tunable hydrolytic degradation under accelerated conditions governed by the MPDL content. Drug-release profiles in human serum and in vitro anticancer activity on different cell lines enabled preliminary structure-activity relationships to be established. The cytotoxicity was independently governed by: (i) the MPDL content - the lower the MPDL content, the greater the cytotoxicity; (ii) the nature of the linker - the presence of a labile diglycolate linker enabled a greater Gem release compared to a simple amide bond and (iii) the hydrophilicity of the methacrylate monomer-OEGMA enabled a greater anticancer activity to be obtained compared to MMA-based polymer prodrugs. Remarkably, the optimal structural parameters enabled reaching the cytotoxic activity of the parent (free) drug.

Abstract
Squalenoylation of gemcitabine, a front-line therapy for pancreatic cancer, allows for improved cellular-level and system-wide drug delivery. The established methods to conjugate squalene to gemcitabine and to form nanoparticles (NPs) with the squalenoylated gemcitabine (SqGem) conjugate are cumbersome, time-consuming and can be difficult to reliably replicate. Further, the creation of multi-functional SqGem-based NP theranostics would facilitate characterization of in vivo pharmacokinetics and efficacy. Methods: Squalenoylation conjugation chemistry was enhanced to improve reliability and scalability using tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) protecting groups. We then optimized a scalable microfluidic mixing platform to produce SqGem-based NPs and evaluated the stability and morphology of select NP formulations using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Cytotoxicity was evaluated in both PANC-1 and KPC (KrasLSL-G12D/+; Trp53LSL-R172H/+; Pdx-Cre) pancreatic cancer cell lines. A 64Cu chelator (2-S-(4-aminobenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid, NOTA) was squalenoylated and used with positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to monitor the in vivo fate of SqGem-based NPs. Results: Squalenoylation yields of gemcitabine increased from 15% to 63%. Cholesterol-PEG-2k inclusion was required to form SqGem-based NPs using our technique, and additional cholesterol inclusion increased particle stability at room temperature; after 1 week the PDI of SqGem NPs with cholesterol was ~ 0.2 while the PDI of SqGem NPs lacking cholesterol was ~ 0.5. Similar or superior cytotoxicity was achieved for SqGem-based NPs compared to gemcitabine or Abraxane® when evaluated at a concentration of 10 µM. Squalenoylation of NOTA enabled in vivo monitoring of SqGem-based NP pharmacokinetics and biodistribution. Conclusion: We present a scalable technique for fabricating efficacious squalenoylated-gemcitabine nanoparticles and confirm their pharmacokinetic profile using a novel multifunctional 64Cu-SqNOTA-SqGem NP.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active polymer prodrug nanoparticles were readily prepared by growing short, well-defined polymer chains from an AIE dye by nitroxide-mediated polymerization, followed by co-nanoprecipitation of the resulting conjugates with similarly constructed anticancer polymer prodrugs. The nanoparticles had sharp fluorescence signal offering excellent imaging ability in living cells and their intra cellular localization to be accurately monitored.

Abstract
Incorporating labile bonds inside polymer backbone and side chains yields interesting polymer materials that are responsive to change of environmental stimuli. Drugs can be conjugated to various polymers through different conjugation linkages and spacers. One of the key factors influencing the release profile of conjugated drugs is the hydrolytic stability of the conjugated linkage. Generally, the hydrolysis of acid-labile linkages, including acetal, imine, hydrazone, and to some extent β-thiopropionate, are relatively fast and the conjugated drug can be completely released in the range of several hours to a few days. The cleavage of ester linkages are usually slow, which is beneficial for continuous and prolonged release. Another key structural factor is the water solubility of polymer-drug conjugates. Generally, the release rate from highly water-soluble prodrugs is fast. In prodrugs with large hydrophobic segments, the hydrophobic drugs are usually located in the hydrophobic core of micelles and nanoparticles, which limits the access to the water, hence lowering significantly the hydrolysis rate. Finally, self-immolative polymers are also an intriguing new class of materials. New synthetic pathways are needed to overcome the fact that much of the small molecules produced upon degradation are not active molecules useful for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Development of drug delivery system conjugated with doxorubicin (dox) on the surface of AuNPs with polyvinylpyrrolidone (Dox@PVP-AuNPs), we have demonstrated that human lung cancer cells can significantly overcome by the combination of highly effective cellular entry and responsive intracellular release of doxorubicin from Dox@PVP-AuNPs complex. Previously drug release from doxorubicin-conjugated AuNPs was confirmed by the recovered fluorescence of doxorubicin from quenching due to the nanosurface energy transfer between doxorubicinyl groups and AuNPs. Dox@PVP-AuNPs achieved enhanced inhibition of lung cancer cells growth than free Doxorubicin and PVP-AuNPs. The in vitro cytotoxic effect of PVP-AuNPs, free Dox and Dox@PVP-AuNPs inhibited the proliferation of human lung cancer cells with IC50 concentration. Compared with control cells, PVP-AuNPs and free Dox, Dox@PVP-AuNPs can increases ROS generation, sensitize mitochondrial membrane potential and induces both early and late apoptosis in lung cancer cells. Moreover, Dox@PVP-AuNPs highly upregulates the expression of tumor suppressor genes than free Dox and PVP-AuNPs and induces intrinsic apoptosis in lung cancer cells. From the results, Dox@PVP-AuNPs can be considered as an potential drug delivery system for effective treatment of human lung cancer.

Abstract
Here, we report the formulation of hybrid nanoparticles consisting of aggregated gold nanoparticles (GNPs) impregnated into a gemcitabine-polymer conjugate matrix that exhibit synergistic photo-chemo-therapeutic activity against pancreatic cancer. Well-defined, sub-100 nm hybrid NPs were successfully formulated and their photothermal conversion efficiency was evaluated, which was found to be as high as 63% in the red-visible spectrum. By varying the GNP and GEM-polymer feed, it was possible to control the red-shifting of the surface plasmon resonance at therapeutically relevant wavelengths. The hybrid NPs exhibited significant cytotoxicity against MiaPaCa-2 cells with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.0012 mg mL-1; however the IC50 decreased by a factor of 2 after the cells were irradiated with a continuous wave red laser for 1 min (1.4 W cm-2). Although the irradiation of the aggregated GNPs loaded in the hybrid NPs produced a higher thermal effect for the same amount of non-loaded GNPs, the IC50 of the hybrid NPs was significantly lower than that of the free GNPs, hence indicating a synergistic effect of the polymer bound GEM and the GNPs.

Abstract
Gemcitabine (GEM) is a nucleoside analogue of deoxycytidine with limited therapeutic efficacy due to enzymatic hydrolysis by cytidine deaminase (CDA) resulting in compromised half-life in the bloodstream and poor pharmacokinetics. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a methacrylate-based GEM-monomer conjugate, which was polymerized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization with high monomer conversion (∼90%) and low dispersity (<1.4). The resulting GEM-polymer conjugates were found to form well-defined sub-90 nm nanoparticles (NPs) in aqueous suspension. Subsequently, the GEM release was studied at different pH (∼7 and ∼5) with and without the presence of an enzyme, Cathepsin B. The GEM release profiles followed a pseudo zero-order rate and the GEM-polymer conjugate NPs were prone to acidic and enzymatic degradation, following a two-step hydrolysis mechanism. Furthermore, the NPs exhibited significant cytotoxicity in vitro against a model pancreatic cell line. Although, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the GEM-monomer and -polymer conjugate NPs was higher than free GEM, the conjugates showed superiorly prolonged activity compared to the parent drug.

Abstract
Carboxyl end-functionalized poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] [P(PEGMEMA)] and its block copolymer with gemcitabine substituted poly(N-hydroxysuccinimide methacrylate) [PGem-block-P(PEGMEMA)] are synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Then, two polymers are grafted onto the surface of amine-functionalized nanodiamonds to obtain [P(PEGMEMA)]-grafted nanodiamonds (ND-PEG) and [PGem-block-P(PEGMEMA)]-grafted nanodiamonds (ND-PF). Gemcitabine is physically absorbed to ND-PEG to produce ND-PEG (Gem). Two polymer-grafted nanodiamonds (i.e., with physically absorbed gemcitabine ND-PEG (Gem) and with chemically conjugated gemcitabine ND-PF) are characterized using attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and thermogravimetric analysis. The drug release, cytotoxicity (to seed human pancreatic carcinoma AsPC-1 cells), and cellular uptake of ND-PEG (Gem) and ND-PF are also investigated.

Abstract
Novel glutathione (GSH)-dependent micelles based on carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) were developed for triggered intracellular release of doxorubicin (DOX). DOX-33'-Dithiobis (N-hydroxysuccinimidyl propionate)-CMCS (DOX-DSP-CMCS) prodrugs were synthesized. DOX was attached to the amino group on CMCS via disulfide bonds and drug-loaded micelles were formed by self-assembly. The micelles formed core-shell structure with CMCS and DOX as the shell and core, respectively, in aqueous media. The structure of the prodrugs was confirmed by IR and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. The drug-loading capacity determined by UV spectrophotometry was 4.96% and the critical micelle concentration of polymer prodrugs determined by pyrene fluorescence was 0.089 mg/mL. Micelles were spherical and the mean size of the nanoparticles was 174 nm, with a narrow polydispersity index of 0.106. Moreover, in vitro drug release experiments showed that the micelles were highly GSH-sensitive owing to the reductively degradable disulfide bonds. Cell counting kit (CCK-8) assays revealed that DOX-DSP-CMCS micelles exhibited effective cytotoxicity against HeLa cells. Moreover, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) demonstrated that DOX-DSP-CMCS micelles could efficiently deliver and release DOX in the cancer cells. In conclusion, the DOX-DSP-CMCS nanosystem is a promising drug delivery vehicle for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanocapsules are key components in new technologies related to biomedicine and materials science. However, their long-term fate after use is still largely ignored. We discuss here a sustainable approach where the products of degradation of the nanoparticles play a significant role in their application because they are also functional molecules. The polymer shell of the nanocapsules is chemically engineered so that the degradation products formed upon chemical damage are useful after their normal use.

Abstract
In the field of nanomedicine, the global trend over the past few years has been toward the design of highly sophisticated drug delivery systems with active targeting and/or imaging capabilities, as well as responsiveness to various stimuli to increase their therapeutic efficacy. However, providing sophistication generally increases complexity that could be detrimental in regards to potential pharmaceutical development. An emerging concept to design efficient yet simple drug delivery systems, termed the "drug-initiated" method, consists of growing short polymer chains from drugs in a controlled fashion to yield well-defined drug-polymer prodrugs. These materials are obtained in a reduced amount of synthetic steps and can be self-assembled into polymer prodrug nanoparticles, be incorporated into lipid nanocarriers or be used as water-soluble polymer prodrugs. This Perspective article will capture the recent achievements from the "drug-initiated" method and highlight the great biomedical potential of these materials.

Abstract
Conjugates of antioxidants p-anisic (p-AA) and vanillic (VA) acids with nontoxic, biocompatible, and biodegradedable oligo-(R,S)-(3-hydoxybutyrate) carrier were synthesized, and their structural and biological characterization was performed. The molecular structure of the bioconjugates, in which antioxidants are covalently bonded with oligo(3-hydroxybutyrate) (OHB) chains, has been proven by mass spectrometry supported by NMR. The bioconjugate hydrolytic degradation studies allowed gaining thorough insight into the hydrolysis process and confirmed the release of p-AA and VA. In vitro studies demonstrated that all of the conjugates studied were well tolerated by KB and HaCaT cell lines, as they had no marked cytotoxicity, while conjugates with a relatively short OHB carrier are optimal to support keratinocyte function. The preliminary study of the biological activity confirmed the protective effect of VA-OHB conjugates against H2O2-induced lipid peroxidation in human keratinocytes (HaCaT). It was also demonstrated that the selected bioconjugates can penetrate all layers of the skin, which shows their functionality and opens up their potential application in cosmetology.

Abstract
Encapsulation of hydrophilic cancer drugs in polymeric nanocapsules was achieved in a one-pot process via the inverse miniemulsion periphery RAFT polymerization (IMEPP) approach. The chosen guest molecule was gemcitabine hydrochloride, which is used as the first-line treatment of pancreatic cancer. The resulting nanocapsules were confirmed to be ∼200 nm, with excellent encapsulation (∼96%) and loading (∼12%) efficiency. Postpolymerization reaction was successfully conducted to create glyocopolymer nanocapsules without any impact on the loads as well as the nanocapsules size or morphology. The loaded nanocapsules were specifically designed to be responsive in a reductive environment. This was confirmed by the successful disintegration of the nanocapsules in the presence of glutathione. The gemcitabine-loaded nanocapsules were tested in vitro against pancreatic cancer cells (AsPC-1), with the results showing an enhancement in the cytotoxicity by two fold due to selective accumulation and release of the nanocapsules within the cells. The results demonstrated the versatility of IMEPP as a tool to synthesize functionalized, loaded-polymeric nanocapsules suitable for drug-delivery application.

Abstract
Application of nanotechnology in the medical field (i.e., nanomedicine) plays an important role in the development of novel drug delivery methods. Nanoscale drug delivery systems can indeed be customized with specific functionalities in order to improve the efficacy of the treatments. However, despite the progresses of the last decades, nanomedicines still face important obstacles related to: (i) the physico-chemical properties of the drug moieties which may reduce the total amount of loaded drug; (ii) the rapid and uncontrolled release (i.e., burst release) of the encapsulated drug after administration and (iii) the instability of the drug in biological media where a fast transformation into inactive metabolites can occur. As an alternative strategy to alleviate these drawbacks, the prodrug approach has found wide application. The covalent modification of a drug molecule into an inactive precursor from which the drug will be freed after administration offers several benefits such as: (i) a sustained drug release (mediated by chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis of the linkage between the drug-moiety and its promoiety); (ii) an increase of the drug chemical stability and solubility and, (iii) a reduced toxicity before the metabolization occurs. Lipids have been widely used as building blocks for the design of various prodrugs. Interestingly enough, these lipid-derivatized drugs can be delivered through a nanoparticulate form due to their ability to self-assemble and/or to be incorporated into lipid/polymer matrices. Among the several prodrugs developed so far, this review will focus on the main achievements in the field of lipid-based prodrug nanocarriers designed to improve the efficacy of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Despite the rapid developments in nanotechnology and biomaterials, the efficient delivery of chemotherapeutic agents is still challenging. Prodrug-based nanoassemblies have many advantages as a potent platform for anticancer drug delivery, such as improved drug availability, high drug loading efficiency, resistance to recrystallization upon encapsulation, and spatially and temporally controllable drug release. In this review, we discuss prodrug-based nanocarriers for cancer therapy, including nanosystems based on polymer-drug conjugates, self-assembling small molecular weight prodrugs and prodrug-encapsulated nanoparticles (NPs). In addition, we discuss new trends in the field of prodrug-based nanoassemblies that enhance the delivery efficiency of anticancer drugs, with special emphasis on smart stimuli-triggered drug release, hybrid nanoassemblies, and combination drug therapy.
