Chatterjee P, Chauhan N, Jain U. Confronting antibiotic-resistant pathogens: Distinctive drug delivery potentials of progressive nanoparticles. Microb Pathog 2024; 187:106499.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance arises over time, usually due to genetic modifications. Global observations of high resistance rates to popular antibiotics used to treat common bacterial diseases, such as diarrhea, STIs, sepsis, and urinary tract infections, indicate that our supply of effective antibiotics is running low. The mechanisms of action of several antibiotic groups are covered in this review. Antimicrobials disrupt the development and metabolism of bacteria, leading to their eventual death. However, in recent years, microorganisms become resistant to the drugs. Bacteria encode resistant genes against antibiotics and inhibit the function of antibiotics by reducing the uptake of drugs, modifying the enzyme's active site, synthesizing enzymes to degrade antibiotics, and changing the structure of ribosomal subunits. Additionally, the methods of action of resistant bacteria against different kinds of antibiotics as well as their modes of action are discussed. Besides, the resistant pathogenic bacteria which get the most priority by World Health Organisation (WHO) for synthesizing new drugs, have also been incorporated. To overcome antimicrobial resistance, nanomaterials are used to increase the efficacy of antimicrobial drugs. Metallic, inorganic, and polymer-based nanoparticles once conjugated with antibacterial drugs, exhibit synergistic effects by increasing the efficacy of the drugs by inhibiting bacterial growth. Nanomaterial's toxic properties are proportional to their concentrations. Higher concentration nanomaterials are more toxic to the cells. In this review, the toxic properties of nanomaterials on lung cells, lymph nodes, and neuronal cells are also summarized.

Abstract
This review presents an overview of one of the effective strategies for improving the anticancer impact of many drugs including sorafenib using a drug delivery system by employing nanoparticles that is produced through a biological system. The biological process has a lot of benefits, including being inexpensive and safe for the environment. Sorafenib is one of a multi-kinase inhibitor that inhibits molecularly targeted kinases. Because of its poor pharmacokinetic characteristics, such as fast elimination and limited water solubility, the bioavailability of Sorafenib is extremely low. More intelligent nano formulations of sorafenib have been developed to boost both the drug's target ability and bioavailability. Researchers in a wide variety of sectors, including nanomedicine, have recently been interested in the topic of nanotechnology. It is possible for the body to develop resistance to widely used drugs available for treatment of liver cancer, including sorafenib. As a result, our goal of this research is to highlight the efficacy of nanomedicine-based drug delivery system to enhance drug's cancer-fighting properties. Because of their magnetic properties, certain nanoparticle materials can be employed as a carrier for the medicine to the exact place where the cancer is located. This can lower the amount of the drug that is administered with no impact on the normal cells.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a prevalent malignancy with increasing incidence in middle-aged and older men. Despite various treatment options, advanced metastatic PCa remains challenging with poor prognosis and limited effective therapies. Nanomedicine, with its targeted drug delivery capabilities, has emerged as a promising approach to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce adverse effects. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) stands as one of the most distinctive and highly selective biomarkers for PCa, exhibiting robust expression in PCa cells. In this review, we explore the applications of PSMA-targeted nanomedicines in advanced PCa management. Our primary objective is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge nanomedicine research and clinical practice, making it accessible to the medical community. We discuss mainstream treatment strategies for advanced PCa, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, in the context of PSMA-targeted nanomedicines. Additionally, we elucidate novel treatment concepts such as photodynamic and photothermal therapies, along with nano-theragnostics. We present the content in a clear and accessible manner, appealing to general physicians, including those with limited backgrounds in biochemistry and bioengineering. The review emphasizes the potential benefits of PSMA-targeted nanomedicines in enhancing treatment efficiency and improving patient outcomes. While the use of PSMA-targeted nano-drug delivery has demonstrated promising results, further investigation is required to comprehend the precise mechanisms of action, pharmacotoxicity, and long-term outcomes. By meticulous optimization of the combination of nanomedicines and PSMA ligands, a novel horizon of PSMA-targeted nanomedicine-based combination therapy could bring renewed hope for patients with advanced PCa.

Abstract
The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused great havoc and affected many parts of the world. It has imposed a great challenge to the medical and health fraternity with its ability to continue mutating and increasing the transmission rate. Some challenges include the availability of current knowledge of active drugs against the virus, mode of delivery of the medicaments, its diagnosis, which are relatively limited and do not suffice for further prognosis. One recently developed drug delivery system called nanoparticles is currently being utilized in combating COVID-19. This article highlights the existing methods for diagnosis of COVID-19 such as computed tomography scan, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, nucleic acid sequencing, immunoassay, point-of-care test, detection from breath, nanotechnology-based bio-sensors, viral antigen detection, microfluidic device, magnetic nanosensor, magnetic resonance platform and internet-of-things biosensors. The latest detection strategy based on nanotechnology, biosensor, is said to produce satisfactory results in recognizing SARS-CoV-2 virus. It also highlights the successes in the research and development of COVID-19 treatments and vaccines that are already in use. In addition, there are a number of nanovaccines and nanomedicines currently in clinical trials that have the potential to target COVID-19.

Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14122748.

Abstract
A convenient method for the synthesis of the second generation of PAMAM dendrimers based on a p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene core in cone, partial cone and 1,3-alternate conformations was developed. Unusual fluorescence of the obtained PAMAM-calix-dendrimers has been found and explained. The binding ability of the synthesized dendrimers toward catecholamines (dopamine, L-adrenaline and L-noradrenaline) was shown by UV-Vis, fluorescence, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and the binding constants (logKa 3.85-4.74) calculated. As was shown, the PAMAM-calix-dendrimers bind catecholamines by the internal cavities. All the studied hormones were most efficiently bound by the dendrimers bearing a macrocyclic core in 1,3-alternate conformation. The size of the formed supramolecular systems of dendrimer/catecholamine was established by the DLS method. A decrease in hemolytic activity of the PAMAM-calix-dendrimers with an increase in the generation number of a dendrimer was shown for the dendrimers with a core in 1,3-alternate conformation. The prospects for the use of the synthesized dendrimers with the macrocyclic core as drug delivery agents were discussed.

Abstract
Therapeutic oligonucleotides (TOs) represent one of the most promising drug candidates in the targeted cancer treatment due to their high specificity and capability of modulating cellular pathways that are not readily druggable. However, efficiently delivering of TOs to cancer cellular targets is still the biggest challenge in promoting their clinical translations. Emerging as a significant drug delivery vector, nanoparticles (NPs) can not only protect TOs from nuclease degradation and enhance their tumor accumulation, but also can improve the cell uptake efficiency of TOs as well as the following endosomal escape to increase the therapeutic index. Furthermore, targeted and on-demand drug release of TOs can also be approached to minimize the risk of toxicity towards normal tissues using stimuli-responsive NPs. In the past decades, remarkable progresses have been made on the TOs delivery based on various NPs with specific purposes. In this review, we will first give a brief introduction on the basis of TOs as well as the action mechanisms of several typical TOs, and then describe the obstacles that prevent the clinical translation of TOs, followed by a comprehensive overview of the recent progresses on TOs delivery based on several various types of nanocarriers containing lipid-based nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, porous nanoparticles, DNA/RNA nanoassembly, extracellular vesicles, and imaging-guided drug delivery nanoparticles.

Abstract
Multimerization of peptide structures has been a logical evolution in their development as potential therapeutic molecules. The multivalent properties of these assemblies have attracted much attention from researchers in the past and the development of more complex branching dendrimeric structures, with a wide array of biocompatible building blocks is revealing previously unseen properties and activities. These branching multimer and dendrimer structures can induce greater effect on cellular targets than monomeric forms and act as potent antimicrobials, potential vaccine alternatives and promising candidates in biomedical imaging and drug delivery applications. This review aims to outline the chemical synthetic innovations for the development of these highly complex structures and highlight the extensive capabilities of these molecules to rival those of natural biomolecules.

Abstract
A bird's eye view is now demanded in the area of cancer research to suppress the suffering of cancer patient and mediate the lack of treatment related to chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is always preferred over surgery or radiation therapy, but they never met the patient's demand of safe medication. Targeted therapy has now been in research that could hinder the unnecessary effect of drug on normal cells but could affect the tumor cells in much efficient manner. Angiogenesis is process involved in development of new blood vessel that nourishes tumor growth. Integrin receptors are over expressed on cancer cells that play vital role in angiogenesis for growth and metastasis of tumor cell. A delivery of RGD based peptide to integrin targeted site could help in its successful binding and liberation of drug in tumor vasculature. Dendrimers, in addition to its excellent pharmacokinetic properties also helps to carry targeting ligand to site of tumor by successfully conjugating with them. The aim of this review is to bring light upon the role of integrin in cancer progression, interaction of RGD to integrin receptor and more importantly the RGD-dendrimer based targeted therapy for the treatment of various cancers.

Abstract
Development of nanoplatforms that can amplify the passive tumor targeting effect based on enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect is crucial for precision cancer nanomedicine applications. Herein, we present the development of core-shell tecto dendrimers (CSTDs) as a platform for enhanced tumor magnetic resonance (MR) imaging through an amplified EPR effect. In this work, poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation 5 (G5) were decorated with β-cyclodextrin (CD) and then assembled with G3 PAMAM dendrimers premodified with adamantane (Ad) via supramolecular recognition of CD and Ad. The formed G5-CD/Ad-G3 CSTDs were conjugated with tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-Gd(III) chelators and further acetylated to neutralize the remaining CSTD periphery amines. We reveal that the formed CSTD.NHAc-DOTA(Gd) (CSTD-D-Gd) complexes have a narrow size distribution and satisfactory colloidal stability, and are cytocompatible within the concentration range studied. Compared to the single dendrimer counterpart of G5.NHAc-DOTA(Gd) (G5-D-Gd) complexes, the CSTD-D-Gd complexes with a higher molecular weight and volume possess a longer rotation correlation time, hence having a longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of 7.34 mM-1 s-1, which is 1.5 times larger than that of G5-D-Gd complexes (4.92 mM-1 s-1). More importantly, the CSTD-D-Gd complexes display better permeability in the three-dimensional (3D) cell spheroids in vitro through fluorescence imaging and a more significant EPR effect for improved tumor MR imaging in vivo than the G5-DOTA-Gd complexes. The generated CSTD-D-Gd complexes may be adopted for enhanced tumor MR imaging through an amplified passive EPR effect and also be further extended for different cancer theranostic applications.

Abstract
Development of versatile and powerful nanoplatforms for efficient therapeutic delivery represents a major topic for current nanomedicine. Herein, we present the development of core-shell tecto dendrimers (CSTDs) for co-delivery of a therapeutic gene and drug for enhanced anticancer therapy applications. In this work, CSTDs were first prepared via supramolecular recognition of β-cyclodextrin (CD)-decorated generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers as cores and adamantane (Ad)-functionalized G3 PAMAM dendrimers as shell components. The formed CSTDs with each G5 dendrimer surrounded with 4.2 G3 dendrimers were evaluated as a gene vector for delivery of plasmid DNA encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein as well as microRNA 21 inhibitor (miR 21i). We show that under an appropriate N/P ratio, the CSTDs enable effective transfection of both genetic materials to cancer cells. In particular, the transfection of miR 21i led to the inhibition of cancer cell migration, decreased miR 21 gene expression, and the effective regulation of the target genes and proteins (e.g., PTEN, PDCD4, p53, and Caspase-3). Furthermore, we revealed that the CSTDs were able to co-deliver miR 21i and an anticancer drug doxorubicin, leading to enhanced therapeutic efficacy to cancer cells in vitro. Our findings imply that the developed CSTDs could be adopted as a versatile platform for effective co-delivery of different therapeutic components for enhanced anticancer therapy applications.

Abstract
Development of innovative nanomedicine enabling enhanced theranostics of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tumors remains to be challenging. Herein, we report the development of a newly designed multifunctional yellow-fluorescent carbon dot (y-CD)/dendrimer nanohybrids as a platform for ultrasound (US)-enhanced fluorescence imaging and chemotherapy of MDR tumors. Generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimers covalently modified with efflux inhibitor of d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (G5-TPGS) were complexed with one-step hydrothermally synthesized y-CDs via electrostatic interaction. The formed G5-TPGS@y-CDs complexes were then physically loaded with anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) to generate (G5-TPGS@y-CDs)-DOX complexes. The developed nanohybrids display a high drug loading efficiency (40.7%), strong y-CD-induced fluorescence emission, and tumor microenvironment pH-preferred DOX release profile. Attributing to the DOX/TPGS dual drug design, the (G5-TPGS@y-CDs)-DOX complexes can overcome the multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells and effectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells and tumors. Furthermore, the introduction of US-targeted microbubble destruction technology was proven to render the complexes with enhanced intracellular uptake and anticancer efficacy in vitro and improved chemotherapeutic efficacy and fluorescence imaging of tumors in vivo due to the produced sonoporation effect. The developed multifunctional dendrimer/CD nanohybrids may represent an advanced design of nanomedicine for US-enhanced theranostics of different types of MDR tumors.

Abstract
Nanocarriers are nano-sized delivery vesicles that can transport desired molecules to a specific location. The utilisation of nanocarriers for targeted drug-delivery is an emerging field that aims to solve certain disadvantages of free drug delivery; including premature drug degradation, non-specific toxicity, lack of tissue penetration, undesired side-effects, and multi-drug resistance. The nanocarrier approach has proven effective in this regard, with some examples of FDA approved nanocarrier systems available on the market. In this perspective, we investigate the potential of carbon nano-onions (CNOs) as nanocarriers for drug delivery. The various criteria and considerations for designing a nanocarrier are outlined, and we thoroughly discuss how CNOs fit these criteria. Given the rapidly developing interest in CNOs, this perspective provides a baseline discussion for the use of this novel carbon nanomaterial as a potential nanocarrier for drug delivery.

Abstract
The development of functional intelligent theranostic nanoplatform for imaging-directed synchronous inhibition of primary tumor and tumor metastasis is still a challenging task. We present here the creation of functional dendrimer-entrapped CuS nanoparticles (CuS DENPs) complexed with plasmid DNA-encoding hypermethylation in cancer 1 (pDNA-HIC1) for photoacoustic (PA) imaging-directed simultaneous inhibition of tumors and tumor metastasis. Poly(amidoamine) dendrimers of generation 5 were covalently attached with 1,3-propane sultone and arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide through a spacer of poly(ethylene glycol) and adopted for the templated synthesis of CuS NPs. The prepared functional RGD-CuS DENPs possess a mean CuS core diameter of 4.2 nm, good colloidal stability, and an excellent absorption feature in the second near-infrared window, thus having a photothermal conversion efficiency of 49.8% and an outstanding PA imaging capability. The functional DENPs can effectively deliver pDNA-HIC1 to prevent cancer cell invasion and metastasis in a serum-enhancing manner by virtue of zwitterionic modification-rendered antifouling property. The developed RGD-CuS DENPs/pDNA polyplexes display αvβ3 integrin-targeted enhanced anticancer activity through the combined CuS NP-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) and pDNA delivery-rendered cancer cell metastasis inhibition. This can also be proven by the therapeutic efficacy of a triple-negative breast cancer model in vivo, where inhibition of both the primary subcutaneous tumor and lung metastasis can be realized. The created dendrimer-CuS hybrid nanoplatform represents one of the updated designs of nanomedicine for PA imaging-directed combination PTT/gene therapy of tumors and tumor metastasis.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of different generations as building blocks or reactive modules to construct core-shell tecto dendrimers (CSTDs) that are superior to the performance of single-generation dendrimers has received great attention in the field of biomedical applications. The CSTDs are always based on high-generation dendrimers as the core and low-generation dendrimers as the shell; not only do they have excellent properties similar to single high-generation dendrimers, but they also have overcome some of the shortcomings (e.g., limited drug loading capacity or enhanced permeability and retention effect due to small size) of single-generation dendrimers in biomedical applications. Herein, the recent advances of CSTDs synthesized by different approaches as nanoplatforms for different biomedical applications, particularly for chemotherapy, gene delivery, and combination therapy, as well as biological imaging, are summarized. In addition, the current challenges and future perspectives of CSTDs are also discussed.

Abstract
Investigation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for biomedical applications has attracted much attention in recent years. MOFs are regarded as a promising class of nanocarriers for drug delivery owing to well-defined structure, ultrahigh surface area and porosity, tunable pore size, and easy chemical functionalization. In this review, the unique properties of MOFs and their advantages as nanocarriers for drug delivery in biomedical applications were discussed in the first section. Then, state-of-the-art strategies to functionalize MOFs with therapeutic agents were summarized, including surface adsorption, pore encapsulation, covalent binding, and functional molecules as building blocks. In the third section, the most recent biological applications of MOFs for intracellular delivery of drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids, especially aptamers, were presented. Finally, challenges and prospects were comprehensively discussed to provide context for future development of MOFs as efficient drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Development of versatile nanoplatforms for cancer theranostics remains a hot topic in the area of nanomedicine. We report here a general approach to create polyethylenimine (PEI)-based hybrid nanogels (NGs) incorporated with ultrasmall iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) and doxorubicin for T1-weighted MR imaging-guided chemotherapy of tumors. In this study, PEI NGs were first prepared using an inverse emulsion approach along with Michael addition reaction to cross-link the NGs, modified with citric acid-stabilized ultrasmall Fe3O4 NPs through 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) coupling, and physically loaded with anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). The formed hybrid NGs possess good water dispersibility and colloidal stability, excellent DOX loading efficiency (51.4%), pH-dependent release profile of DOX with an accelerated release rate under acidic pH, and much higher r1 relaxivity (2.29 mM-1 s-1) than free ultrasmall Fe3O4 NPs (1.15 mM-1 s-1). In addition, in contrast to the drug-free NGs that possess good cytocompatibility, the DOX-loaded hybrid NGs display appreciable therapeutic activity and can be taken up by cancer cells in vitro. With these properties, the developed hybrid NGs enabled effective inhibition of tumor growth under the guidance of T1-weighted MR imaging. The developed hybrid NGs may be applied as a versatile nanoplatform for MR imaging-guided chemotherapy of tumors.

Abstract
The current chapter highlights the use of chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of fertilized chicken egg for the characterization of nanoparticles applied in cancer nanomedicine. The CAM assay represents a promising alternative to mouse models in term of costs, ease of use, rapidity and ethical issues in particular for the screening of nanoformulations. Hence, the features of nanoparticles including blood retention, biocompatibility, active targeting or tumor accumulation, angiogenic activity, drug delivery and tumor elimination might be simply evaluated via the CAM model. In particular, in this model, embryo organs and morphology, CAM vasculature and blood cells, transplanted tumors on CAM were typically monitored and used for the evaluation of the nanomaterials. With the above advantages, the CAM assay, as highly valuable in vivo model, could be used regularly in pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered enormous attention from researchers owing to their superior physicochemical properties, which are of particular interest in various fields such as catalysis and the diverse areas of biomedicine. Despite their position in the utilization for various applications compared to other innovative nanocarriers such as dendrimers and mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), in terms of advantageous physicochemical attributes, as well as attractive textural properties, ease of characterization, and abundant surface chemistry for functionalization and other benefits, MOFs yet suffer from several issues such as poor degradability, which might lead to accumulation-induced biocompatibility risk. In addition, some of the MOFs suffer from a shortcoming of poor colloidal stability in the aqueous solution, hindering their applicability in diverse biomedical fields. To address these limitations, several advancements have been made to fabricate polymeric nanocomposites of MOFs for their utility in various biomedical fields. In this review, we aim to provide a brief emphasis on various organic polymers used for coating over MOFs to improve their physicochemical attributes considering a series of recently reported intriguing studies. Finally, we summarize with perspectives.

Abstract
Recent advances in nanotechnology, such as the development of various types of nanoparticles and hybrid nanomaterials, have revolutionized nanomedicine. The small size, customizable surface, enhanced solubility, and multi-functionality endow the nanoparticles with an ability to interact with complex cellular and biological functions in new ways. Furthermore, these systems can deliver drugs to specific tissues and provide a targeted therapy. For this purpose, different categories of molecules, particularly antibodies, have been used as ligands. Antibody-conjugated nanomaterials can significantly enhance the efficiency of nanomedicines, especially in the field of cancer. This review is focused on three major medical applications of antibody-conjugated nanomaterials, namely, therapeutic, diagnostic and theranostic applications. To provide comprehensive information on the topic and an overview of these hybrid nanomaterials for biomedical applications, a brief summary of nanomaterials and antibodies is given. Moreover, the review has depicted the potential applications of antibody-conjugated nanomaterials in different fields and their capabilities to empower nanomedicine, particularly in relation to the treatment and detection of malignancies.

Abstract
The development of a powerful nanoplatform to realize the simultaneous therapy and diagnosis of cancer using a similar element for theranostics remains a critical challenge. Herein, we report such a theranostic nanoplatform based on pyridine (Pyr)-functionalized generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimers complexed with copper(II) (Cu(II)) for radiotherapy-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and the synergistic radio-chemotherapy of both tumors and tumor metastasis. In this study, amine-terminated G5 dendrimers were covalently linked with 2-pyridinecarboxylic acid, acetylated to neutralize their remaining terminal amines, and complexed with Cu(II) through both the internal tertiary amines and the surface Pyr groups to form the G5.NHAc-Pyr/Cu(II) complexes. We show that the complexes are able to inhibit the proliferation of different cancer cell lines with half-maximal inhibitory concentrations ranging from 4 to 10 μM and induce significant cancer cell apoptosis. Due to the presence of Cu(II), the G5.NHAc-Pyr/Cu(II) complexes display an r1 relaxivity of 0.7024 mM-1 s-1, enabling effective in vivo MR imaging of tumor xenografts and lung metastatic nodules. Further, under radiotherapy (RT) conditions, the tumor MR imaging sensitivity can be significantly enhanced, and the G5.NHAc-Pyr/Cu(II) complexes enable the enhanced chemotherapy of both a xenografted tumor model and a blood-vessel metastasis model. With the demonstrated theranostic potential of the dendrimer-Cu(II) nanocomplexes without additional agents or elements for RT-enhanced MR imaging and chemotherapy of tumor and tumor metastasis, this novel Cu(II)-based nanohybrids may hold great promise for the theranostics of different cancer types and metastases.

Abstract
Nanomedicine, which is an application of nanotechnologies in healthcare is developed to improve the treatments and lives of patients suffering from a range of disorders and to increase the successes of drug candidates. Within the nanotechnology universe, the remarkable unique and tunable properties of dendrimers have made them promising tools for diverse biomedical applications such as drug delivery, gene therapy and diagnostic. Up-to-date, very few dendrimers has yet gained regulatory approval for systemic administration, why? In this critical review, we briefly focus on the list of desired basic dendrimer requirements for decision-making purpose by the scientists (go/no-go decision), in early development stages, to become clinical candidates, and to move towards Investigational New Drugs (IND) application submission. In addition, the successful translation between research and clinic should be performed by the implementation of a simple roadmap to jump the 'valley of death' successfully.

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

Abstract
Drug delivery systems for cancer chemotherapy are employed to improve the effectiveness and decrease the side-effects of highly toxic drugs. Most chemotherapy agents have indiscriminate cytotoxicity that affects normal, as well as cancer cells. To overcome these problems, new more efficient nanosystems for drug delivery are increasingly being investigated. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers are an example of a versatile and reproducible type of nanocarrier that can be loaded with drugs, and modified by attaching target-specific ligands that recognize receptors that are over-expressed on cancer cells. PAMAM dendrimers with a high density of cationic charges display electrostatic interactions with nucleic acids (DNA, siRNA, miRNA, etc.), creating dendriplexes that can preserve the nucleic acids from degradation. Dendrimers are prepared by conducting several successive "generations" of synthetic reactions so their size can be easily controlled and they have good uniformity. Dendrimers are particularly well-suited to co-delivery applications (simultaneous delivery of drugs and/or genes). In the current review, we discuss dendrimer-based targeted delivery of drugs/genes and co-delivery systems mainly for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Dendrimers are nano-sized and three-dimensional macromolecules with well-defined globular architecture and are widely used in various aspects such as drug and gene delivery owing to multivalent and host-guest entrapment properties. However, dendrimers like other nanomaterials have some disadvantages for example rapid clearance by reticuloendothelial system, toxicity due to interaction of amine terminated group with cell membrane, low transfection efficiency and lack of controlled release behavior, which reduce their therapeutic efficiency. To solve these problems, surface functionalization of dendrimers can be carried out. Surface functionalization not only mitigates this obstacle but also renders excessive specificity to dendrimer to improve efficiency of cancer therapy. Specific properties in cancer cell compared to normal cells such as overexpression of various receptors and difference in biological condition like pH, temperature and redox of tumor environment can be an appropriate strategy to increase site-specific targeting efficiency. Therefore, in this article we focus on numerous functionalization strategies, which are used in the modification of dendrimers through attachment of lipid, amino acid, protein/peptide, aptamer, vitamin, antibody. Moreover, increased biocompatibility, site-specific delivery based on various ligands, enhanced transfection efficiency, sustained and controlled release behavior based on stimuli responsiveness are benefits of functionalized dendrimer which we discuss in this review. Overall, these functionalized dendrimers can open a new horizon in the field of targeted drug and gene delivery.

Abstract
Denderimer-modified magnetic nanoparticles are a promising drug delivery nanosystem which can improve the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy drugs and can also be beneficial as magnetic resonance (MR) images contrast agent. The present study introduces the preparation and characterization of the potential therapeutic efficiency of curcumin (CUR)-loaded denderimer-modified citric acid coated Fe3O4 NPs. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM, generation G5) was used to encapsulate citric acid coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The successful preparation of CUR-loaded nanocarriers were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency of CUR molecules were 12 ± 0.03% and 45.58 ± 0.41%, respectively. The anticancer effect of void CUR and CUR-loaded nanocarriers were compared to each other by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay on treated MCF-7 cell line. It can be concluded that application of nanoparticles can be more effective strategy for controlled and slow release of CUR in human breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
The objective of this work is to evaluate the effect of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers on electroosmotic flow (EOF) through skin. The effect of size and concentration of dendrimer was studied, using generation 1, 4 and 7 dendrimer (G1, G4 and G7, respectively). As a marker molecule for the direction and magnitude of EOF, a neutral molecule, acetoaminophen (AAP) was used. The visualization of dendrimer permeation into the current conducting pore (CCP) of skin was made using G4-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugate and confocal microscopy. Without dendrimer, anodal flux of AAP was much higher than cathodal or passive flux. When G1 dendrimer was added, anodal flux decreased, presumably due to the decrease in EOF by the association of G1 dendrimer with net negative charge in CCP. As the generation increased, larger decrease in anodal flux was observed, and the direction of EOF was reversed. Small amount of methanol used for the preparation of dendrimer solution also contributed to the decrease in anodal flux of AAP. Cross-sectional view perpendicular to the skin surface by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) study showed that G4 dendrimer-FITC conjugate (G4-FITC) can penetrate into the viable epidermis and dermis under anodal current. The permeation route seemed to be localized on hair follicle region. These results suggest that PAMAM dendrimers can permeate into CCP and change the magnitude and direction of EOF. Overall, we obtained a better understanding on the mechanistic insights into the electroosmosis phenomena and its role on flux during iontophoresis.

Abstract
Combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is used to enhance local drug delivery while reducing off-target tissue effects. Anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) is loaded into l-cysteine modified G4.5 dendrimer (GC/DOX) and released at different pH values in the presence and absence of γ-radiation. Presence of γ-radiation significantly improves DOX release from the GC/DOX under acidic pH conditions, suggesting that GC dendrimer is a radiation-sensitive drug delivery system. GC/DOX is further evaluated by determining cytotoxicity in uterine cervical carcinoma HeLa cells. GC/DOX shows high affinity for cancer cells and effective drug release following an external stimulus (radiation exposure), whereas an in vivo zebrafish study confirms that l-cysteine acts as a radiosensitizer. GC/DOX treatment combined with radiotherapy synergistically and successfully inhibits cancer cell growth.
