Abstract
Chrysin is a natural flavonoid that despite having numerous biological properties, its therapeutic value is limited due to its very low solubility in aqueous media. In this work, chrysin was conjugated with methoxypolyethylene glycols (mPEGs) of different molecular weights (350, 500, 750, and 2000 g/mol), affording PEGylated chrysins with high yields and excellent purities. In all cases, an increase in the water solubility of the conjugates was observed, which was highest when 500 g/mol of mPEG was used in the PEGylation reaction. Furthermore, in aqueous solution, PEGylated chrysins formed aggregates of ellipsoid shape. Electrochemical studies showed that the redox properties were conserved after PEGylation. While in vitro antibacterial and antifungal studies probed that the intrinsic activity was conserved, in vitro antitumor activities against HepG2 (liver carcinoma cells) and PC3 (prostate cancer cell) showed that PEGylated chrysins retained the cytotoxic activity and the ability of induction of apoptosis for the evaluated human cancer cells.

Abstract
Chrysin has been shown to exert several beneficial pharmacological activities. Chrysin has anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, and renoprotective as well as gastrointestinal, respiratory, reproductive, ocular, and skin protective effects through modulating signaling pathway involved in apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. In the current review, we discussed the emerging cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying therapeutic indications of chrysin in various cancers. Online databases comprising Scopus, PubMed, Embase, ProQuest, Science Direct, Web of Science, and the search engine Google Scholar were searched for available and eligible research articles. The search was conducted by using MeSH terms and keywords in title, abstract, and keywords. In conclusion, experimental studies indicated that chrysin could ameliorate cancers of the breast, gastrointestinal tract, liver and hepatocytes, bladder, male and female reproductive systems, choroid, respiratory tract, thyroid, skin, eye, brain, blood cells, leukemia, osteoblast, and lymph. However, more studies are needed to enhance the bioavailability of chrysin and evaluate this agent in clinical trial studies.

Abstract
The composition of amphiphilic nanocarriers can affect the antitumor efficacy of drug-loaded nanoparticles and should be researched systematically. In this paper, to study the influence of hydrophobic chains, an amphiphilic copolymer (PEG45PCL17) and hydrophilic PEG (PEG45) were utilized as nanocarriers to prepare docetaxel-loaded nanoparticles (DTX/PEG45PCL17 nanoparticles and DTX/PEG45 nanoparticles) through an antisolvent precipitation method. The two DTX nanoparticles presented a similar drug loading content of approximately 60% and a sheet-like morphology. During the preparation procedure, the drug loading content affected the morphology of DTX nanoparticles, and the nanocarrier composition influenced the particle size. Compared with DTX/PEG45 nanoparticles, DTX/PEG45PCL17 nanoparticles showed a smaller mean diameter and better in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity. The cytotoxicity of DTX/PEG45PCL17 nanoparticles against 4T1 cells was 1.31 μg mL-1, 3.4-fold lower than that of DTX/PEG45 nanoparticles. More importantly, DTX/PEG45PCL17 nanoparticles showed significantly higher antitumor activity in vivo, with an inhibition rate over 80%, 1.5-fold higher than that of DTX/PEG45 nanoparticles. Based on these results, antitumor activity appears to be significantly affected by the particle size, which was determined by the composition of the nanocarrier. In summary, to improve antitumor efficacy, the amphiphilic structure should be considered and optimized in the design of nanocarriers.

Abstract
9-Nitro-20(S)-camptothecin (9-NC) is a broad-spectrum antitumor drug used in tumor treatments, but its clinical applications and antitumor efficacy are limited by its structural instability, poor solubility, and extremely low drug utilization in tumor tissues. In this study, enzyme-sensitive nuclear-targeted dual-functional polymeric micelles were developed for 9-NC delivery with a high drug loading content (12.93 ± 0.88%), steady-state circulation, and a rapid attack at the "heart" of tumor cells. Briefly, chrysin (CHR) as a π-conjugated moiety was immobilized on the PCL terminal in the TAT-PCL amphiphiles and combined with the ALAL peptide as a linker on HA chains to yield the ultimate CHR-PCL-TAT-ALAL-HA (HATPC) amphiphiles. Spherical 9-NC-loaded micelles were obtained from the self-assembly of the dual-functional amphiphiles comprising HATPC and 9-NC with uniform nanosize (121.6 ± 5.79 nm), well-distributed morphology (PDI: 0.256), and negative surface charge (-23.2 ± 0.5 mV), yielding high stability during blood circulation. In this drug delivery system, HA acts as an active tumor-targeting instrument via CD44-receptor-mediated endocytosis; further, the ALAL peptide could be cutoff in the lysosomes of the tumor cells due to the high expression of cathepsin B, leading to lysosomal escape, while the secondary polymeric micelles targeted the tumor cell nucleus via the exposed TAT peptide. The enzyme sensitivity and nuclei targetability of the 9-NC/HATPC micelles were confirmed by dynamic light scattering and confocal laser scanning microscopy analyses. As compared to free 9-NC and traditional mPEG2k-PCL2k polymeric micelles, 9-NC/HATPC micelles were the most concentrated in the tumor cell nucleus; therefore, they exhibited the highest cytotoxicity against SKOV3 tumor cells both in vitro (IC50 = 0.03 μg mL-1) and in vivo. This enzyme-sensitive nuclear-targeted dual-functional drug delivery system involving HATPC provided a new and promising strategy for enhanced 9-NC delivery and antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synergistic therapy of tumor is a promising way in curing cancer and in order to achieve effective tumor therapy with real-time drug release monitoring, dynamic cellular imaging and antitumor activity. RESULTS In this work, a polymeric nanoparticle with Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect and chemo-photodynamic properties was fabricated as the drug vehicle. An amphiphilic polymer of cyclo(RGDfCSH) (cRGD)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-Poly(L-histidine) (PH)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-Protoporphyrin (Por)-acting as both a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and absorption of acceptor in FRET was synthesized and self-assembled into polymeric nanoparticles with epirubicin (EPI)-acting as an antitumor drug for chemotherapy and fluorescence of donor in FRET. Spherical EPI-loaded nanoparticles with the average size of 150 ± 2.4 nm was procured with negatively charged surface, pH sensitivity and high drug loading content (14.9 ± 1.5%). The cellular uptake of EPI-loaded cRGD-PEG-PH-PCL-Por was monitored in real time by the FRET effect between EPI and cRGD-PEG-PH-PCL-Por. The polymeric nanoparticles combined PDT and chemotherapy showed significant anticancer activity both in vitro (IC50 = 0.47 μg/mL) and better therapeutic efficacy than that of free EPI in vivo. CONCLUSIONS This work provided a versatile strategy to fabricate nanoassemblies for intracellular tracking of drug release and synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
In traditional nano drug-delivery systems, the complex chemical bonds between drug and carrier often complicate the preparation process and are less prone to rupture upon entry into the target, which is detrimental to the timely release of the drug. The π-π stacking provides us with a promising alternative as it is a weak interaction between the aromatic rings. Since most antitumor drugs are hydrophobic molecules with complex aromatic π-π-conjugated structures, the construction of self-assembly based on π-π stacking between drugs and carriers has the advantage of improving the stability and drug loading capacity as well as the improvement of hydrophilicity and biosafety. This article introduces the recent advances in π-π stacking-guided nano self-assembly for antineoplastic delivery.

Abstract
Enhancing the heat-sensitivity of tumor cells provides an alternative solution to maintaining the therapeutic outcome of photothermal therapy (PTT). In this study, we constructed a therapeutic system, which was composed of methoxy-polyethylene-glycol-coated-gold-nanorods (MPEG-AuNR) and VER-155008-micelles, to evaluate the effect of VER-155008 on the sensitivity of tumor cells to heat, and further investigate the therapeutic outcome of MPEG-AuNR mediated PTT combined with VER-155008- micelles. VER-155008- micelles down-regulate the expression of heat shock proteins and attenuate the heat-resistance of tumor cell. The survival of HCT116 cells treated with VER-155008- micelles under 45 °C is equal to that treated with high temperature hyperthermia (55 °C) in vitro. Furthermore, we proved either the MPEG-AuNR or VER-155008- micelles can be accumulate in the tumor site by photoacoustic imaging and fluorescent imaging. In vivo anti-cancer evaluation showed that tumor size remarkably decreased (smaller than 100 mm3 or vanished) when treated with combing 45 °C mild PTT system, which contrasted to the tumor size when treated with individual 45 °C mild PTT (around 500 nm3) or normal saline as control (larger than 2000 nm3). These results proved that the VER-155008- micelles can attenuate the heat-resistance of tumor cells and enhance the therapeutic outcome of mild-temperature photothermal therapy.

Abstract
A near infrared (NIR) light responsive chromophore 7-(diethylamino)-4-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (DEACM) was synthesized and incorporated to β-cyclodextrins with cRGD functionalized poly(ethylene glycol), the amphiphiles were coordinated with Au nanorods or nanoparticles to load anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) for fabricating hybrid nanoparticles. The π-π stacking interaction between DEACM and DOX was formed in the hybrid nanoparticles, which contributed to the high drug loading content. The Au nanorods or nanoparticles enhanced the photosolvolysis of DEACM under the irradiation of NIR with 808 nm wavelength and triggered the accelerated drug release from the nanoparticles. The drug loaded hybrid nanoparticles with NIR irradiation exhibited efficient inhibition effect on the proliferation of 4T1 breast cancer cells in vitro. The in vivo anticancer activity study on breast cancer bearing mice revealed that the hybrid nanoparticles containing Au nanorods exhibited excellent anticancer activity under the irradiation of 808 nm wavelength NIR with 800 mW.

In situ injection of phenylboronic acid based low molecular weight gels for efficient chemotherapy. Biomaterials 2016; 105:1-11.

Abstract
Injectable low molecular weight gels (LMWGs) based on the derivatives of phenylboronic acid were prepared and used as substrates for efficient in situ chemotherapy. The gelators as well as LMWGs were characterized by (1)H NMR, UV-vis, FTIR, MS and SEM. Anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was encapsulated in the gels. The rheological properties and rapid recovery capability of both blank and drug-loaded gels were tested. The LMWGs were non-toxic to both 3T3 fibroblasts and 4T1 breast cancer cells. The gels were formed rapidly after injected in vivo. The in vivo anticancer activities of DOX-loaded LMWGs were investigated in breast cancer bearing mice. The intratumoral injection of DOX loaded LMWGs with dose of 30 mg/kg revealed that the gels could coat around the tumor tissues to release DOX sustainingly and maintain effective DOX concentration for chemotherapy. The systemic toxicity of DOX was reduced significantly with the in situ administration of LMWGs formulations. The injectable LMWGs exhibited excellent therapeutic efficacy and low side effects in local chemotherapy.
