Abstract
Over the past decade, nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have been extensively explored. However, the average tumour enrichment ratio of passive targeting systems corresponds to only 0.7% due to the nonspecific uptake by normal organs and poor selective retention in tumours. The therapeutic specificity and efficacy of nano-medicine can be enhanced by equipping it with active targeting ligands, although it is not possible to ignore the recognition and clearance of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) caused by targeting ligands. Given the complexity of the systemic circulation environment, it is necessary to carefully consider the hydrophobicity, immunogenicity, and electrical property of targeting ligands. Thus, for an active targeting system, the targeting ligands should be shielded in blood circulation and de-shielded in the tumour region for enhanced tumour accumulation. In this study, strategies for improving the performance of active targeting ligands are introduced. The strategies include irreversible shielding, reversible shielding, and methods of modulating the multivalent interactions between ligands and receptors. Furthermore, challenges and future developments in designing active ligand targeting systems are also discussed.

[PMID: 33673985 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2021.117696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Revised: 01/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
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
Using polyethylene glycol (PEG) to functionalize liposomes improves their stealth properties and stability in blood. However, PEG is known to induce the accelerated blood clearance (ABC) phenomenon, which occurs for multiple doses owing to anti-PEG IgM being produced after the initial injection. In this study, as an alternative to PEG, polysarcosine (PSar) was selected owing to its low antigenicity and its highly dense chains with controllable lengths, similar to PEG. Furthermore, we directly evaluate the potential of PSar for avoiding the ABC phenomenon by comparing PSar with PEG on the same liposome platform, which has similar physicochemical properties such as hydrophobic region, membrane fluidity, and size. PEG- and PSar-liposomes were prepared and characterized for comparison. PSar-liposomes showed similar physicochemical properties to PEG-liposomes in terms of size control, zeta potential, membrane polarity, and fluidity; however, ELISA results showed noticeably lower levels and faster production speeds of both IgM and IgG for PSar-liposomes than for PEG-liposomes. In addition, a pharmacokinetics experiment with multiple injections showed that PSar-PE coating of liposomes may help to circumvent the ABC phenomenon.

Abstract
Many deadly infections are produced by microorganisms capable of sustained survival in macrophages. This reduces exposure to chemadrotherapy, prevents immune detection, and is akin to criminals hiding in police stations. Therefore, the use of glyco-nanoparticles (GNPs) as carriers of therapeutic agents is a burgeoning field. Such an approach can enhance the penetration of drugs into macrophages with specific carbohydrate targeting molecules on the nanocarrier to interact with macrophage lectins. Carbohydrates are natural biological molecules and the key constituents in a large variety of biological events such as cellular communication, infection, inflammation, enzyme trafficking, cellular migration, cancer metastasis and immune functions. The prominent characteristics of carbohydrates including biodegradability, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and the highly specific interaction of targeting cell-surface receptors support their potential application to drug delivery systems (DDS). This review presents the 21st century development of carbohydrate-based nanocarriers for drug targeting of therapeutic agents for diseases localized in macrophages. The significance of natural carbohydrate-derived nanoparticles (GNPs) as anti-microbial drug carriers is highlighted in several areas of treatment including tuberculosis, salmonellosis, leishmaniasis, candidiasis, and HIV/AIDS.

Abstract
For investigating the accelerated blood clearance (ABC) phenomenon of polyglycerin modified nanoemulsions upon cross administration with polyethylene glycol (PEG) covered nanoemulsion, we used the 1,2-distea-royl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-n-polyglycerine-610 and the 1,2-distearoyl-n-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-n-[me-thoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] as modify materials, the dialkylcarbocyanines as fluorescence indicator. Exhausted macrophages rat model was established and new material containing polycarboxyl structure was synthesized. The microplate reader and the in vivo optical imaging system were applied to measure the concentration of nanoemulsions in tissues. The results show that the first dose of polyglycerin modified nanoemulsion can induce the ABC phenomenon of the second dose of PEGylated nanoemulsion. With the increase in the amount of the surface polyglycerin, the extent of the ABC phenomenon decreases. Liver accumulation has positive relationship with the ABC phenomenon. Furthermore, kupffer cells in liver can get more immune information from polyhydroxy structure than polycarboxyl group in the modify compound. The results of our work imply that the polycarboxyl structure has advantages to eliminate the ABC phenomenon.

Abstract
In this study, a novel material, poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-cholesterol hemisuccinate (PEtOz-CHEMS), was synthesized to construct pH-sensitive liposomes. The structure of PEtOz-CHEMS was confirmed by thin-layer chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and (1)H NMR. Anticancer fluorescent drug doxorubicin (DOX) was encapsulated into the liposomes. Compared with conventional liposomes (CL), CHEMS modified liposomes (CH-L) and PEGylated liposomes (PEG-L), the PEtOzylated liposomes (PEtOz-L) showed an acidic pH-induced increase in particle size. At pH 6.4, the heme release of PEtOz-L group was close to that of the positive control group, whereas that of CL, CH-L and PEG-L was close to that of the negative control group. In vitro drug release studies demonstrated that DOX was released from PEtOz-L in a pH-dependent manner, and the release of DOX from conventional DOX liposomes (CL-DOX), DOX loaded CH-L (CH-DOX-L) and PEGylated DOX liposomes (PEG-DOX-L) had no pronounced differences under each pH medium. In vitro cellular uptake assays showed that PEtOz-DOX-L indicated a significant fluorescence intensity at pH 6.4 compared with at pH 7.4. CL-DOX, CH-DOX-L and PEG-DOX-L did not achieve any obvious diversity at different pH conditions. Confocal laser scanning microscopy images showed that PEtOz-DOX-L can fuse with the endosomal membrane under acidic conditions of endosome, release DOX into the cytoplasm, then gather into the nucleus. Therefore, PEtOz can help liposomes achieve "endosomal escape". The in vitro cytotoxicity experiment results on A375 cells showed that PEtOz-DOX-L resulted in lower cell viability than CL-DOX, CH-DOX-L and PEG-DOX-L under low pH conditions. These results confirm that the pH-responsive PEtOz was a promising material for intracellular targeted delivery system and might be used for overcoming the "PEG dilemma".
