Acta Pharm Sin B 2024; 14:602-622. [PMID: 38322345 PMCID: PMC10840486 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2023.08.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Calcium-based biomaterials have been intensively studied in the field of drug delivery owing to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Calcium-based materials can also deliver contrast agents, which can enhance real-time imaging and exert a Ca2+-interfering therapeutic effect. Based on these characteristics, amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), as a brunch of calcium-based biomaterials, has the potential to become a widely used biomaterial. Highly functional ACC can be either discovered in natural organisms or obtained by chemical synthesis However, the standalone presence of ACC is unstable in vivo. Additives are required to be used as stabilizers or core-shell structures formed by permeable layers or lipids with modified molecules constructed to maintain the stability of ACC until the ACC carrier reaches its destination. ACC has high chemical instability and can produce biocompatible products when exposed to an acidic condition in vivo, such as Ca2+ with an immune-regulating ability and CO2 with an imaging-enhancing ability. Owing to these characteristics, ACC has been studied for self-sacrificing templates of carrier construction, targeted delivery of oncology drugs, immunomodulation, tumor imaging, tissue engineering, and calcium supplementation. Emphasis in this paper has been placed on the origin, structural features, and multiple applications of ACC. Meanwhile, ACC faces many challenges in clinical translation, and long-term basic research is required to overcome these challenges. We hope that this study will contribute to future innovative research on ACC.

Abstract
Natural polymers are organic compounds produced by living organisms. In nature, they exist in three main forms, including proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids. In recent years, with the continuous research on drug and gene delivery systems, scholars have found that natural polymers have promising applications in drug and gene delivery systems due to their excellent properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, low immunogenicity, and easy modification. However, since the structure, physicochemical properties, pharmacological properties and biological characteristics of biopolymer molecules have not yet been entirely understood, further studies are required before large-scale clinical application. This review focuses on recent advances in the representative natural polymers such as proteins (albumin, collagen, elastin), polysaccharides (chitosan, alginate, cellulose) and nucleic acids. We introduce the characteristics of various types of natural polymers, and further outline the characterization methods and delivery forms of these natural polymers. Finally, we discuss possible challenges for natural polymers in subsequent experimental studies and clinical applications. It provides an important strategy for the clinical application of natural polymers in drug and gene delivery systems.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs)-based on various ionic polysaccharides, including chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and alginate have been frequently summarized for controlled release applications, however, most of the published reviews, to our knowledge, focused on the delivery of a single therapeutic agent. A comprehensive summarization of the co-delivery of multiple therapeutic agents by the ionic polysaccharides-based NPs, especially on the optimization of the polysaccharide structure for overcoming various extracellular and intracellular barriers toward maximized synergistic effects, to our knowledge, has been rarely explored so far. For this purpose, the strategies used for overcoming various extracellular and intracellular barriers in vivo were introduced first to provide guidance for the rational design of ionic polysaccharides-based NPs with desired features, including long-term circulation, enhanced cellular internalization, controllable drug/gene release, endosomal escape and improved nucleus localization. Next, four preparation strategies were summarized including three physical methods of polyelectrolyte complexation, ionic crosslinking, and self-assembly and a chemical conjugation approach. The challenges and future trends of this rapidly developing field were finally discussed in the concluding remarks. The important guidelines on the rational design of ionic polysaccharides-based NPs for maximized synergistic efficiency drawn in this review will promote the future generation and clinical translation of polysaccharides-based NPs for cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this review, we aim to provide a summary of recent research advancements and applications of algin (i.e., alginic acid) and alginate-hybrid materials (AHMs) in medical fields. Algin/alginate are abundant natural products that are chemically inert and biocompatible, and they have superior gelation properties, good mechanical strengths, and biodegradability. The AHMs have been widely applied in wound dressing, cell culture, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. However, medical applications in different fields require different properties in the AHMs. The drug delivery application requires AHMs to provide optimal drug loading, controlled and targeted drug-releasing, and/or visually guided drug delivery. AHMs for wound dressing application need to have improved mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, cell adhesion, and antibacterial properties. AHMs for tissue engineering need improved mechanical properties that match the target organs, superior cell affinity, and cell loading capacity. Various methods to produce AHMs that meet different needs were summarized. Formulations to form AHMs with improved stability, drug/cell-loading capacity, cell adhesion, and mechanical properties are active research areas. This review serves as a road map to provide insights into the strategies to develop AHMs in medical applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy occupies an important position in cancer therapy because of its minimal invasiveness and high spatiotemporal precision, and photodynamic/gene combined therapy is a promising strategy for additive therapeutic effects. However, the asynchronism and heterogeneity between traditional chemical photosensitizers and nucleic acid would restrict the feasibility of this strategy. KillerRed protein, as an endogenous photosensitizer, could be directly expressed and take effect in situ by transfecting KillerRed reporter genes into cells. Herein, a simple and easily prepared sodium alginate (SA)-doping cationic nanoparticle SA@GP/DNA was developed for dual gene delivery. The nanoparticles could be formed through electrostatic interaction among sodium alginate, polycation, and plasmid DNA. The title complex SA@GP/DNA showed good biocompatibility and gene transfection efficiency. Mechanism studies revealed that SA doping could facilitate the cellular uptake and DNA release. Furthermore, SA@GP/DNA was applied to the codelivery of p53 and KillerRed reporter genes for the synergistic effect combining p53-mediated apoptosis therapy and KillerRed-mediated photodynamic therapy. The ROS generation, tumor cell growth inhibition, and apoptosis assays proved that the dual-gene transfection could mediate the better effect compared with single therapy. This rationally designed dual gene codelivery nanoparticle provides an effective and promising platform for genetically bimodal therapy.

Abstract
Chemoresistance and hence the consequent treatment failure is considerably challenging in clinical cancer therapeutics. The understanding of the genetic variations in chemoresistance acquisition encouraged the use of gene modulatory approaches to restore anti-cancer drug efficacy. Many smart nanoparticles are designed and optimized to mediate combinational therapy between nucleic acid and anti-cancer drugs. This review aims to define a rational design of such co-loaded nanocarriers with the aim of chemoresistance reversal at various cellular levels to improve the therapeutic outcome of anticancer treatment. Going through the principles of therapeutics loading, physicochemical characteristics tuning, and different nanocarrier modifications, also looking at combination effectiveness on chemosensitivity restoration. Up to now, these emerging nanocarriers are in development status but are expected to introduce outstanding outcomes.

Abstract
Because free therapeutic drug molecules often have adverse effects on normal tissues, deliver scanty drug concentrations and exhibit a potentially low efficacy at pathological sites, various drug carriers have been developed for preclinical and clinical trials. Their physicochemical and toxicological properties are the subject of extensive research. Inorganic calcium carbonate particles are promising candidates as drug delivery carriers owning to their hardness, porous internal structure, high surface area, distinctive pH-sensitivity, low degradability, etc, while soft organic alginate hydrogels are also widely used because of their special advantages such as a high hydration, bio-adhesiveness, and non-antigenicity. Here, we review these two distinct substances as well as hybrid structures encompassing both types of carriers. Methods of their synthesis, fundamental properties and mechanisms of formation, and their respective applications are described. Furthermore, we summarize and compare similarities versus differences taking into account unique advantages and disadvantages of these drug delivery carriers. Moreover, rational combination of both carrier types due to their performance complementarity (yin-&yang properties: in general, yin is referred to for definiteness as hard, and yang is broadly taken as soft) is proposed to be used in the so-called hybrid carriers endowing them with even more advanced properties envisioned to be attractive for designing new drug delivery systems.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) shows great potential in the treatment of varying cancer and genetic disorders. The lack of safe and effective delivery methods is an ongoing challenge to realize the full potential of RNAi-based therapeutics. pH-responsive hybrid nanoparticle is a promising non-virus platform for small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery with unique properties including the robust response to the acidic microenvironment and the capability of theranostic and combined therapeutics. The mechanism of RNAi and the delivery barriers for RNAi-based therapeutics are first discussed. Then, the general patterns of pH-response and the typical construction of hybrid nanoparticles are demonstrated. The recent advances in pH-responsive organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles for siRNA delivery are highlighted, in particular, how pH-response of ionizable groups, acid-labile bonds, and decomposition of inorganic components affect the physicochemical properties of hybrid nanoparticles and benefit the cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking of siRNA payloads are discussed. At last, the remaining problems and the prospects for pH-responsive hybrid nanoparticles for siRNA delivery are analyzed.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX), an anthracycline drug, is widely used for the treatment of several cancers like osteosarcoma, cervical carcinoma, breast cancer, etc. DOX lacks target specificity; thereby it also affects normal cells thus resulting in several side-effects. A drug delivery system (DDS) can be used to deliver the drug in a controlled and sustained manner at a targeted site within the body. Various DDS like nanoemulsions, polymeric nanoparticles, and liposomes are used for loading DOX. Alginate, a polysaccharide is widely used for fabricating DDS due to its biodegradable and bio-compatible properties. Alginates, in combination with other biomaterials, have been extensively used as a novel drug delivery carrier for DOX. Alginate provides a platform for drug delivery in different forms like hydrogels, nanogels, nanoparticles, microparticles, graphene oxide systems, magnetic systems, etc. Herein, we briefly describe alginate in combination with other materials as a nanocarrier for targeted delivery of DOX for anti-cancer treatment.

Abstract
Sodium alginate (Na-Alg) is water-soluble, neutral, and linear polysaccharide. It is the derivative of alginic acid which comprises 1,4-β-d-mannuronic (M) and α-l-guluronic (G) acids and has the chemical formula (NaC6H7O6). It shows water-soluble, non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-immunogenic properties. It had been used for various biomedical applications, among which the most promising are drug delivery, gene delivery, wound dressing, and wound healing. For different biomedical applications, it is used in different forms with the help of new techniques. That is the reason it had been blended with different polymers. In this review article, we present a comprehensive overview of the combinations of sodium alginate with natural and synthetic polymers and their biomedical applications involving delivery systems. All the scientific/technical issues have been addressed, and we have highlighted the recent advancements.

Abstract
Biohybrids (a combination of biological material and inorganic nanoparticles) offer a number of advantages like improved functionality over conventional materials.Thus, to understand the practical application of biohybrids as drug carriers, a biohybrid drug carrier of colloidal silica nanoparticles (NP)-sodium alginate loaded with doxorubicin (Dox-biohybrid) was synthesized by evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) using spray drying technique. Further, the morphology, size and interactions between various components of the biohybrid were studied through SEM, DLS and FTIR techniques. The drug loading efficiency, release profile, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of Dox-biohybrid was investigated and compared with free Dox. The drug loading efficiencies of Dox-biohybrid, Dox-silica NP and Dox-sodium alginate were 93.7 %, 96.4 % and 88.3 % respectively. In vitro release study showed a slow release of entrapped Dox from Dox-biohybrid as compared to other carriers. This release was also pH-responsive with significantly higher cumulative drug release at pH 5.5 (cancer microenvironment) in comparison to pH 7.4 (physiological conditions). The empty biohybrid carrier did not show cytotoxicity to normal mouse lymphocytes upto a concentration of 25 μg/mL which was used further. The uptake of Dox from Dox-biohybrid by A549 cells was more than 2fold as compared to uptake from free Dox. in vitro viability assay revealed that treatment of lung carcinoma A549 cells with Dox-biohybrid resulted in 50 % loss of cell viability at 500 nM, compared to only 12 % loss with free Dox. Thus, we report the synthesis of a novel biohybrid drug delivery system by means of spray drying process that has promising applications in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Alginate is one of the natural polymers that are often used in drug- and protein-delivery systems. The use of alginate can provide several advantages including ease of preparation, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nontoxicity. It can be applied to various routes of drug administration including targeted or localized drug-delivery systems. The development of alginates as a selected polymer in various delivery systems can be adjusted depending on the challenges that must be overcome by drug or proteins or the system itself. The increased effectiveness and safety of sodium alginate in the drug- or protein-delivery system are evidenced by changing the physicochemical characteristics of the drug or proteins. In this review, various routes of alginate-based drug or protein delivery, the effectivity of alginate in the stem cells, and cell encapsulation have been discussed. The recent advances in the in vivo alginate-based drug-delivery systems as well as their toxicities have also been reviewed.

Abstract
CaCO3 nanoparticles are very suitable as intelligent carriers because of their ideal biocompatibility and biodegradability, especially their sensitivity to pH. In this paper, we use mesoporous CaCO3 nanoparticles as intelligent carrier, sodium alginate, and chitosan as alternating assembly materials, folic acid as target molecules, and exploit layer-by-layer assembly technology to achieve sensitive molecular targeting and pH response drug release. Mesoporous CaCO3 hybrid nanoparticles have high drug loading on doxorubicin. The effects of different pH values on drug release in vitro were studied by regulating simulated body fluids with different pH values. The cytotoxicity, targeting effect, and drug release of human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa) were studied by cell vitality and imaging experiments. All the evidence suggests that the smart mesoporous CaCO3 nanoparticles may be a potential clinical application platform for cancer therapy.

Nuclear-targeted p53 and DOX co-delivery of chitosan derivatives for cancer therapy in vitro and in vivo. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2019; 183:110440.

Abstract
The nucleus is one of the most important cellular organelles. Chitosan-grafted poly-(N-3-carbobenzyloxy-lysine) (CCL) decorated with human immunodeficiency virus-1 transactivator of transcription (TAT) can co-deliver p53 and doxorubicin into the nucleus simultaneously, such that their antitumor functions are exerted. However, TAT-CCL has been shown to have an anti-tumor effect only in vitro; the effect in vivo was unsatisfactory. Here, a unique nucleus-targeted delivery system based on amidized TAT (aTAT)-CCL with aTAT functional on the surface was designed to achieve a highly efficient nucleus-targeting gene and drug delivery system for effective cancer cell elimination in vitro and in vivo. In this delivery system, TAT is amidized to inhibit its nonspecific interactions. Confocal laser scanning microscopy observations revealed that if aTAT-CCL was incubated in pH 5.0 acetate buffer solution for 24 h before use (named aTAT-CCL-HB), more aTAT-CCL-HB entered the nucleus compared with aTAT-CCL or CCL. aTAT-CCL-HB can also achieve high gene transfection and drug delivery efficiencies and low viability in HepG2 cells. However, only aTAT-CCL achieved extensive circulation in the blood compartment and high antitumor activity in vivo. Amidization of TAT in vectors may become a promising strategy for nucleus-targeted delivery systems, especially in in vivo applications.

Abstract
Hybrid composites with low flammability based on renewable calcium alginate and nano-calcium borate were fabricated using an in situ method through a simple, eco-friendly vacuum drying process. The composites were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The combustion behavior and flammability of the composites were assessed by using the limiting oxygen index (LOI) and cone calorimetry (CONE) tests. The composites showed excellent thermal stability and achieved nonflammability with an LOI higher than 60. Pyrolysis was investigated using pyrolysis⁻gas chromatography⁻mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) and the results showed that fewer sorts of cracking products were produced from the hybrid composites compared with the calcium alginate. A possible thermal degradation mechanism of composites was proposed based on the experimental data. The combined results indicate that the calcium borate had a nano-effect, accumulating more freely in the hybrid composites and contributing significantly to both the solid phase and gas phase, resulting in an efficient improvement in the flame retardancy of the composites. Our study provides a novel material with promising potentiality for flame retardant applications.

Abstract
Recently, the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technology has attracted the enormous interest of researchers in synthesizing various pharmaceutical dosage forms. Herewith, we designed a biocompatible drug delivery system containing the calcium carbonate microparticles (CaCO3 MPs) that coated with the alternatively charged polyelectrolytes, i.e., poly-L-ornithine (PLO)/fucoidan by LbL self-assembly process (LbL MPs). Upon coating with the polyelectrolytes, the mean particle size of MPs obtained from SEM observations increased from 1.91 to 2.03 μm, and the surface of LbL MPs was smoothened compared to naked CaCO3 MPs. In addition, the reversible zeta potential changes have confirmed the accomplishment of layer upon a layer assembly. To evaluate the efficiency of cancer therapeutics, we loaded doxorubicin (Dox) in the LbL MPs, which resulted in high (69.7%) drug encapsulation efficiency. The controlled release of Dox resulted in the significant antiproliferative efficiency in breast cancer cell line (MCF-7 cells), demonstrating the potential of applying this innovative drug delivery system in the biomedical field.

Abstract
We developed a high-efficiency nucleus-targeted co-delivery vector that delivers genes and drugs directly into the nucleus of cancer cells. The system is based on grafted poly-(N-3-carbobenzyloxy-lysine) (CPCL) with transactivator of transcription (TAT)- chitosan on the surface. It is designed to perform highly efficient nucleus- targeted gene and drug co-delivery. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) revealed that more TAT-CPCL entered the nucleus than does CPCL alone. The TAT-modified vector serves as a gene and drug co-delivery mechanism to achieve high gene transfection efficiency, high apoptosis and low viability in HeLa cells. TAT-CPCL may become a vector for cancer gene treatment and a template for designing better co-deliver systems.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has recently gained increased attention for its capability to effectively diagnose and treat various tumors. Nanocarriers have been used to circumvent the problems associated with conventional antitumor drug delivery systems, including their nonspecificity, severe side effects, burst release and damaging the normal cells. Nanocarriers improve the bioavailability and therapeutic efficiency of antitumor drugs, while providing preferential accumulation at the target site. A number of nanocarriers have been developed; however, only a few of them are clinically approved for the delivery of antitumor drugs for their intended actions at the targeted sites. The present review is divided into three main parts: first part presents introduction of various nanocarriers and their relevance in the delivery of anticancer drugs, second part encompasses targeting mechanisms and surface functionalization on nanocarriers and third part covers the description of selected tumors, including breast, lungs, colorectal and pancreatic tumors, and applications of relative nanocarriers in these tumors. This review increases the understanding of tumor treatment with the promising use of nanotechnology.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) is emerging as a powerful approach in cancer treatment. siRNA is an important RNAi tool that can be designed to specifically silence the expression of genes involved in drug resistance and chemotherapeutic inactivity. Combining siRNA and other therapeutic agents can overcome the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenomenon by simultaneously silencing genes and enhancing chemotherapeutic activity. Moreover, the therapeutic efficiency of anticancer drugs can be significantly improved by additive or synergistic effects induced by siRNA and combined therapies. Co-delivery of these diverse anticancer agents, however, requires specially designed nanocarriers. This review highlights the recent trends in siRNA/anticancer drug co-delivery systems under the major categories of liposomes/lipid, polymeric and inorganic nanoplatforms. The objective is to discuss the strategies for nanocarrier-based co-delivery systems using siRNA/anticancer drug combinations, emphasizing various siRNA targets that help overcome MDR and enhance therapeutic efficiency.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate is an extremely attractive material in a plethora of biomedical applications. Intensive efforts have recently been made to achieve the control over its nucleation and subsequent aggregation, growth and crystallization; focusing on bringing insight into the role of precursors, solvents and templates. Having analyzed the recently acquired knowledge, we addressed this challenge using CO2 sequestration synthesis, using an unusual reactant, a solution of calcium ethoxide, Ca(OC2H5)2, as precursor. By tailoring the reaction conditions, it was possible to produce extremely small and rather size-uniform single-phase calcite CaCO3 nanoparticles, forming sols and subsequently gels in the applied medium. According to DLS and nanoparticle tracking analysis the particles are only to a minor extent aggregated in the mother liquor and can form transparent gels on concentration in less polar media, but produce large aggregates 400-800nm in size when dried and subsequently transferred to aqueous media. Complete drying of solutions renders xerogel type materials with only moderate active surface area, as identified by nitrogen adsorption, due to aggregation with development of densified surface layers. Such behaviour is typical for the sol-gel synthesis of particles possessing enhanced surface reactivity. The aggregation on drying was used to produce hybrid nanocomposites, with the hydrophobic model component, β-carotene, introduced in solution in a non-polar co-solvent and model medicine - ibuprofen. The obtained nanocomposite particles, characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, AFM and FTIR studies, are hierarchically structured spheroidal aggregates about 200nm in size with uniform distribution of the organic components present in the amorphous state. The composite particles are stable in neutral aqueous environments but are readily dissolved in acidic medium or even in PBS at pH = 7.40, releasing the hydrophobic organic component in the form of a relatively stable colloid solution. Efficient release of ibuprofen as model drug was achieved in both acidic and PBS medium and could be slowed down by the addition of β-carotene as hydrophobic component. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The proposed sol-gel synthesis of CaCO3 proved to create unprecedented size of CaCO3 nanoparticles with striking size uniformity. The obtained results clearly demonstrate their ability to incorporate hydrophobic components in a nanocomposite matrix converting them into amorphous nano sized particles, building stable colloids via release in acidic medium. Transfer of a sol produced in organic medium into water in the presence of albumen surfactant results in relatively uniform micro particles about 1μm size. The obtained materials show characteristics attractive for use in drug delivery and potentially also a variety of other industrial applications.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has emerged strongly as a viable option to overcome the challenge of early diagnosis and effective drug delivery, for cancer treatment. Emerging research articles have expounded the advantages of using a specific type of nanomaterial-based system called as "nanocarriers," for anti-cancer therapy. The nanocarrier system is used as a transport unit for targeted drug delivery of the therapeutic drug moiety. In order for the nanocarriers to be effective for anticancer therapy, their physicochemical parameter needs to be tuned so that bio-functionalisation can be achieved to (1) allow drugs being attached to the substrate and for their controlled release, (2) ensure the stability of the nanocarrier up to the point of delivery, and (3) clearance of the nanocarrier after the delivery. It is therefore envisaged that tailoring of the physicochemical properties of nanocarriers can greatly influence their reactivity and interaction in the biological milieu, and this is becoming an important parameter for increasing the efficacy of cancer therapy. This review emphasizes the importance of physicochemical properties of nanocarriers, and how they influence its usage as chemotherapeutic drug carriers. The goal of this review is to present a correlation between the physicochemical properties of the nanocarriers and its intended action, and how their design based on these properties can enhance their cancer combating abilities while minimizing damage to the healthy tissues. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Anticancer therapy has always been a vital challenge for the development of nanomedicine. Repeated single therapeutic agent may lead to undesirable and severe side effects, unbearable toxicity and multidrug resistance due to complex nature of tumor. Nanomedicine-based combination anticancer therapy can synergistically improve antitumor outcomes through multiple-target therapy, decreasing the dose of each therapeutic agent and reducing side effects. There are versatile combinational anticancer strategies such as chemotherapeutic combination, nucleic acid-based co-delivery, intrinsic sensitive and extrinsic stimulus combinational patterns. Based on these combination strategies, various nanocarriers and drug delivery systems were engineered to carry out the efficient co-delivery of combined therapeutic agents for combination anticancer therapy. This review focused on illustrating nanomedicine-based combination anticancer therapy between nucleic acids and small-molecular drugs for synergistically improving anticancer efficacy.

Abstract
The last twenty years have witnessed great advances in biology, medicine, and materials science, leading to the development of various nanoparticle (NP)-mediated drug delivery systems. Innovation in materials science has led the generation of biodegradable, biocompatible, stimuli-responsive, and targeted delivery systems. However, currently available nanotherapeutic technologies are not efficient, which has culminated in the failure of their clinical trials. Despite huge efforts devoted to drug delivery nanotherapeutics, only a small amount of the injected material could reach the desired target. One promising strategy to enhance the efficiency of NP drug delivery is to hybridize multiple materials, where each component could play a critical role in an efficient multipurpose delivery system. This review aims to comprehensively cover different techniques, materials, advantages, and drawbacks of various systems to develop hybrid nano-vesicles for drug delivery. Attention is finally given to the hybridization benefits in overcoming the biological barriers for drug delivery. It is believed that the advent of modern nano-formulations for multifunctional hybrid carriers paves the way for future advances to achieve more efficient drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate aragonite polymorph nanoparticles derived from cockle shells were prepared using surface functionalization method followed by purification steps. Size, morphology, and surface properties of the nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, zetasizer, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry techniques. The potential of surface-functionalized calcium carbonate aragonite polymorph nanoparticle as a drug-delivery agent were assessed through in vitro drug-loading test and drug-release test. Transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and particle size distribution analyses revealed that size, morphology, and surface characterization had been improved after surface functionalization process. Zeta potential of the nanoparticles was found to be increased, thereby demonstrating better dispersion among the nanoparticles. Purification techniques showed a further improvement in the overall distribution of nanoparticles toward more refined size ranges <100 nm, which specifically favored drug-delivery applications. The purity of the aragonite phase and their chemical analyses were verified by X-ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry studies. In vitro biological response of hFOB 1.19 osteoblast cells showed that surface functionalization could improve the cytotoxicity of cockle shell–based calcium carbonate aragonite nanocarrier. The sample was also sensitive to pH changes and demonstrated good abilities to load and sustain in vitro drug. This study thus indicates that calcium carbonate aragonite polymorph nanoparticles derived from cockle shells, a natural biomaterial, with modified surface characteristics are promising and can be applied as efficient carriers for drug delivery.

Abstract
Inorganic materials contain remarkable properties for drug delivery, such as a large surface area and nanoporous structure. Among these materials, CaCO3 microparticles (CMPs) exhibit a high encapsulation efficiency and solubility in acidic media. The extracellular pH of tumor neoplastic tissue is significantly lower than the extracellular pH of normal tissue facilitating the release of drug-encapsulating CMPs in this area. Conducting polyaniline (PANI) absorbs light energy and transforms it into localized heat to produce cell death. This work aimed to generate hybrid CMPs loaded with PANI for photothermal therapy (PTT). The hybrid nanomaterial was synthesized with CaCO3 and carboxymethyl cellulose in a simple, reproducible manner. The CMP-PANI-Cys particles were developed for the first time and represent a novel type of hybrid biomaterial. Resultant nanoparticles were characterized utilizing scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, UV-vis, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. In vitro HeLa cells in dark and irradiated conditions showed that CMP-PANI-Cys and PANI-Cys are nontoxic at the assayed concentrations. Hybrid biomaterials displayed high efficiency for potential PTT compared with PANI-Cys. In summary, hierarchical hybrid biomaterials composed of CMPs and PANI-Cys combined with near infrared irradiation represents a useful alternative in PTT.

Abstract
In recent years, there have been major advances and increasing amounts of research on the utilization of natural polymeric materials as drug delivery vehicles due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. Seaweed polysaccharides are abundant resources and have been extensively studied for several biological, biomedical, and functional food applications. The exploration of seaweed polysaccharides for drug delivery applications is still in its infancy. Alginate, carrageenan, fucoidan, ulvan, and laminarin are polysaccharides commonly isolated from seaweed. These natural polymers can be converted into nanoparticles (NPs) by different types of methods, such as ionic gelation, emulsion, and polyelectrolyte complexing. Ionic gelation and polyelectrolyte complexing are commonly employed by adding cationic molecules to these anionic polymers to produce NPs of a desired shape, size, and charge. In the present review, we have discussed the preparation of seaweed polysaccharide-based NPs using different types of methods as well as their usage as carriers for the delivery of various therapeutic molecules (e.g., proteins, peptides, anti-cancer drugs, and antibiotics). Seaweed polysaccharide-based NPs exhibit suitable particle size, high drug encapsulation, and sustained drug release with high biocompatibility, thereby demonstrating their high potential for safe and efficient drug delivery.

Abstract
Multidrug therapy may yield higher therapeutic effects as compared to monotherapy, yet its wide application has been hampered by the limitations of conventional drug delivery systems, in which not only incompatible drugs cannot be co-delivered but also the release rates of individual co-delivered drugs cannot be tuned separately. Regarding these limitations, we adopt the microfluidic electrospray technology to fabricate alginate-based multicompartment microgel beads. By using cadmium-telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) and a quenching agent as a model pair, the beads are shown to effectively separate incompatible drugs during co-delivery, and significantly prolong the time of observable fluorescence emission from QDs co-delivered with a quenching agent. Moreover, the drug release rates from different compartments can be tuned using the polymer blending technique to achieve a variety of drug release patterns. This study is one of the first to adopt the microfluidic electrospray technology to generate microgel beads with such versatility for co-delivery of multiple drugs. Our results provide evidence for the promising potential of our beads to be further developed as a carrier for multidrug therapy and other applications that require co-administration of multiple bioactive agents.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX)/CaCO3 single crystals act as pH responsive drug carrier. A biomimetic approach demonstrates that calcite single crystals are able, during their growth in the presence of doxorubicin, to entrap drug molecules inside their lattice along specific crystallographic directions. Alterations in lattice dimensions and microstructural parameters are determined by means of high-resolution synchrotron powder diffraction measurements. Confocal microscopy confirms that doxorubicin is uniformly embedded in the crystal and is not simply adsorbed on the crystal surface. A slow release of DOX was obtained preferentially in the proximity of the crystals, targeting cancer cells.

Abstract
In the present study, a gene and drug codelivery system was developed by electrostatic binding of polyethylenimine-poly(l-lysine)-poly(l-glutamic acid) (PELG), polyethylenimine (PEI), cis-aconityl-doxorubicin (CAD), and DNA. Zeta potential and drug release analysis confirmed the pH-responsive charge conversion and acid-sensitive drug release functional properties of the PELG/PEI/(DNA+CAD) system. Gel retardation assay and transfection experiment showed the codelivery system had effective DNA binding ability and good transfection efficiency on HepG2 cells. The therapeutic gene p53 was further employed to study its combinational effects with CAD. Cytotoxicity assay showed the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the PELG/PEI/(p53+CAD) codelivery system was lower than that of the gene or the drug delivery system. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) showed that the drug and gene could be delivered into the cells simultaneously. A significant increase of p53 gene expression was achieved after HepG2 cells treated by PELG/PEI/(p53+CAD) codelivery system. The apoptosis experiment indicated clearly that the codelivery system could lead an effective apoptosis on tumor cells, which was beneficial for the treatment of cancer. The biodistribution and tumor accumulation of the codelivery system was explored via in vivo imaging in subcutaneous xenograft and in situ tumor models. The tumor and some major organs were excised and imaged, and the results showed that the codelivery system can accumulate efficiently in tumor for both tumor models. It can be suggested from the above results that the PELG/PEI/(DNA+CAD) codelivery system will have great potential applications in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cancer remains a major killer and a leading cause of death in the world; thus, a growing number of new treatments have been focused on cancer therapy over the past few decades. Chemotherapy, which is thought to be a powerful strategy for cancer treatment, has been widely used in clinical therapy in recent years. However, due to the complexity of cancer, a single therapeutic approach is insufficient for the suppression of cancer growth and migration. Therefore, increasing attention has been paid to the use of smart multifunctional carriers and combinatorially delivers chemotherapeutic drugs and functional genes in order to maximize therapeutic efficiency. Combination therapy using selected drugs and genes can not only overcome multidrug resistance and inhibit the cellular anti-apoptotic process but also achieve a synergistic therapeutic effect. Because multifunctional nanocarriers are important for achieving these goals, this review will illustrate and discuss some advanced biomaterial nanocarriers for co-delivering therapeutic genes and drugs, including multifunctional micelles, liposomes, polymeric conjugates and inorganic nanoparticles. In addition, the challenges and future perspectives for co-delivery systems, containing therapeutic drugs and genes to achieve better therapeutic effects for cancer treatment will be discussed.

Abstract
A facile strategy to prepare nano-sized drug carriers for co-delivery of multiple types of drugs in combination chemotherapy was developed. Inorganic/organic hybrid alginate/CaCO3 nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation in an aqueous solution under very mild conditions. A hydrophilic drug (doxorubicin hydrochloride, DOX) and a hydrophobic drug (paclitaxel, PTX) were co-encapsulated in the hybrid nanoparticles. For comparison, PTX loaded nanoparticles and DOX loaded nanoparticles were also prepared. The measurement based on dynamic light scattering indicated all nanoparticles had a mean size less than 200 nm with a relatively narrow size distribution. The morphology of the nanoparticles was observed by TEM. The in vitro drug release study showed that the release of DOX and PTX from the dual drug loaded nanoparticles could be effectively sustained. The tumor cell inhibitory effect of the drug loaded nanoparticles was evaluated in HeLa cells and MCF-7/ADR cells. The dual drug loaded nanoparticles exhibited significantly enhanced cell uptake and nuclear localization as compared with the single drug loaded nanoparticles. As a result, the dual drug loaded nanoparticles had a significantly enhanced cell inhibitory effect, especially for drug resistant tumor cells. These results indicated that alginate/CaCO3 hybrid nanoparticles have promising applications for the co-delivery of drugs with different physicochemical properties in combination chemotherapy to overcome multidrug resistance.
