Abstract
A light-responsive polymer allowing the controlled release of camptothecin and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is reported. The polymer was prepared by controlled copolymerisation of water-soluble N,N-dimethyl acrylamide with a bromocoumarin methacrylate monomer. The lipophilic chemotherapy agent camptothecin was caged onto the coumarin unit via a photo-cleavable carbonate ester enabling light-triggered cargo release. The polymer showed good biocompatibility in the dark, and high cancer cell killing activity mediated both by the photo-release of camptothecin and ROS generation.

Abstract
Cancer has become one of the deadliest diseases in our society. Surgery accompanied by subsequent chemotherapy is the treatment most used to prolong or save the patient's life. Still, it carries secondary risks such as infections and thrombosis and causes cytotoxic effects in healthy tissues. Using nanocarriers such as smart polymer micelles is a promising alternative to avoid or minimize these problems. These nanostructured systems will be able to encapsulate hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs through modified copolymers with various functional groups such as carboxyls, amines, hydroxyls, etc. The release of the drug occurs due to the structural degradation of these copolymers when they are subjected to endogenous (pH, redox reactions, and enzymatic activity) and exogenous (temperature, ultrasound, light, magnetic and electric field) stimuli. We did a systematic review of the efficacy of smart polymeric micelles as nanocarriers for anticancer drugs (doxorubicin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, lapatinib, cisplatin, adriamycin, and curcumin). For this reason, we evaluate the influence of the synthesis methods and the physicochemical properties of these systems that subsequently allow an effective encapsulation and release of the drug. On the other hand, we demonstrate how computational chemistry will enable us to guide and optimize the design of these micelles to carry out better experimental work.

Abstract
Poor targeting of therapeutics leading to severe adverse effects on normal tissues is considered one of the obstacles in cancer therapy. To help overcome this, nanoscale drug delivery systems have provided an alternative avenue for improving the therapeutic potential of various agents and bioactive molecules through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Nanosystems with cancer-targeted ligands can achieve effective delivery to the tumor cells utilizing cell surface-specific receptors, the tumor vasculature and antigens with high accuracy and affinity. Additionally, stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms have also been considered as a promising and effective targeting strategy against tumors, as these nanoplatforms maintain their stealth feature under normal conditions, but upon homing in on cancerous lesions or their microenvironment, are responsive and release their cargoes. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the field of active targeting drug delivery systems and a number of stimuli-responsive release studies in the context of emerging nanoplatform development, and also discuss how this knowledge can contribute to further improvements in clinical practice.

Dual-targeted and controlled release delivery of doxorubicin to breast adenocarcinoma: In vitro and in vivo studies. Int J Pharm 2022; 623:121892. [PMID: 35671850 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic drug that belongs to the anthracyclines family. Cardiotoxicity is one of the main limiting factor of prescribing DOX. To reduce its side effects and enhance the drug delivery to the targeted tissues, we aimed to establish a new targeted and controlled release drug delivery system for treatment of breast cancer. In this article, we tried to synthesize a new nanoplatform consisted of DOX conjugate with hydrazide and disulfide bonds to the hyaluronic acid (HA). Firstly, 4,4'-Dithiodibutyric acid (DTBH) was conjugated with HA. Then, 3-aminophenyl boronic acid monohydrate (APBA) was conjugated with DTBH-HA. Subsequently, DOX was added to DTBH-HA-APBA. HA is a natural polymer with the ability to target CD44, a cell surface adhesion receptor, which are highly overexpressed on the surface of variety of cancer cells. Other targeting agent, APBA can target sialic acid on the cancer cells surface and improve the tumor uptake. Formation of The DTBH-HA-APBA conjugate was confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. Scanning emission electron microscopy (SEM) images of the DOX-DTBH-HA-APBA displayed a spherical shape with an average diameter of about 70 nm. In vitro drug release study showed considerably different release pattern of DOX from the formulation at acidic pH (5.4) which was higher than normal pH (7.4). Cellular uptake and cellular cytotoxicity analysis were examined in human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) and mouse breast cancer cells (4T1) as positive cell lines and Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (CHO) as negative cell line. Results confirmed that there is a remarkable difference between dual-targeted (DOX-DTBH-HA-APBA) and single targeted (DOX-DTBH-HA) formulations in both positive cell lines regarding internalization and cytotoxicity. In vivo studies indicated that dual-targeted formulation has the best efficacy with minimum side effects in mouse model. Fluorescence imaging of organs revealed that DOX-DTBH-HA-APBA showed greater DOX accumulation compared with DOX-DTBH-HA and free DOX in tumor site. Also, pathological evaluation indicated that there is no observable cardiotoxicity with final formulation.

Abstract
Stimuli responsiveness has been an attractive feature of smart material design, wherein the chemical and physical properties of the material can be varied in response to small environmental change. Polyurethane (PU), a widely used synthetic polymer can be upgraded into a light-responsive smart polymer by introducing a light-sensitive moiety into the polymer matrix. For instance, azobenzene, spiropyran, and coumarin result in reversible light-induced reactions, while o-nitrobenzyl can result in irreversible light-induced reactions. These variations of light-stimulus properties endow PU with wide ranges of physical, mechanical, and chemical changes upon exposure to different wavelengths of light. PU responsiveness has rarely been reviewed even though it is known to be one of the most versatile polymers with diverse ranges of applications in household, automotive, electronic, construction, medical, and biomedical industries. This review focuses on the classes of light-responsive moieties used in PU systems, their synthesis, and the response mechanism of light-responsive PU-based materials, which also include dual- or multi-responsive light-responsive PU systems. The advantages and limitations of light-responsive PU are reviewed and challenges in the development of light-responsive PU are discussed.

Abstract
Due to the specific physiological pH throughout the human body, pH-responsive polymers have been considered for aiding drug delivery systems. Depending on the surrounding pH conditions, the polymers can undergo swelling or contraction behaviors, and a degradation mechanism can release incorporated substances. Additionally, polyurethane, a highly versatile polymer, has been reported for its biocompatibility properties, in which it demonstrates good biological response and sustainability in biomedical applications. In this review, we focus on summarizing the applications of pH-responsive polyurethane in the biomedical and drug delivery fields in recent years. In recent studies, there have been great developments in pH-responsive polyurethanes used as controlled drug delivery systems for oral administration, intravaginal administration, and targeted drug delivery systems for chemotherapy treatment. Other applications such as surface biomaterials, sensors, and optical imaging probes are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Over the past three decades, various photosensitive nanoparticles have been developed as potential therapies in human health, ranging from photodynamic therapy technologies that have already reached clinical use, to drug delivery systems that are still in the preclinical stages. Many of these systems are designed to achieve a high spatial and temporal on-demand drug release via phototriggerable mechanisms. This review examines the current clinical and experimental applications in cancer treatment of photosensitive drug release systems, including nanocarriers such as liposomes, micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, and hydrogels. We will focus on the three main physicochemical mechanisms of imparting photosensitivity to a delivery system: i) photochemical reactions (oxidation, cleavage, and polymerization), ii) photoisomerization, iii) and photothermal reactions. Photosensitive nanoparticles have a multitude of different applications including controlled drug release, resulting from physical/conformational changes in the delivery systems in response to light of specific wavelengths. Most of the recent research in these delivery systems has primarily focused on improving the efficacy and safety of cancer treatments such as photodynamic and photothermal therapy. Combinations of multiple treatment modalities using photosensitive nanoparticulate delivery systems have also garnered great interest in combating multi-drug resistant cancers due to their synergistic effects. Finally, the challenges and future potential of photosensitive drug delivery systems in biomedical applications is outlined.

Abstract
The combination of nanotechnology and chemotherapy has resulted in more effective drug design via the development of nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) for tumor targeting. Stimulus-responsive DDSs in response to internal or external signals can offer precisely controlled delivery of preloaded therapeutics. Among the various DDSs, the photo-triggered system improves the efficacy and safety of treatment through spatiotemporal manipulation of light. Additionally, pH-induced delivery is one of the most widely studied strategies for targeting the acidic micro-environment of solid tumors. Accordingly, in this review, we discuss representative strategies for designing DDSs using light as an exogenous signal or pH as an endogenous trigger.

Abstract
Despite widespread interest in the amphiphilic polymeric micelles for drug delivery systems, it is highly desirable to achieve high loading capacity and high efficiency to reduce the side effects of therapeutic agents while maximizing their efficacy. Here, we present a novel hydrophobic epoxide monomer, cyclohexyloxy ethyl glycidyl ether (CHGE), containing an acetal group as a pH-responsive cleavable linkage. A series of its homopolymers, poly(cyclohexyloxy ethyl glycidyl ether)s (PCHGEs), and block copolymers, poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(cyclohexyloxy ethyl glycidyl ether)s (mPEG-b-PCHGE), were synthesized via anionic ring-opening polymerization in a controlled manner. Subsequently, the self-assembled polymeric micelles of mPEG-b-PCHGE demonstrated high loading capacity, excellent stability in biological media, tunable release efficiency, and high cell viability. Importantly, quantum mechanical calculations performed by considering prolonged hydrolysis of the acetal group in CHGE indicated that the CHGE monomer had higher hydrophobicity than three other functional epoxide monomer analogues developed. Furthermore, the preferential cellular uptake and in vivo therapeutic efficacy confirmed the enhanced stability and the pH-responsive degradation of the amphiphilic block copolymer micelles. This study provides a new platform for the development of versatile smart polymeric drug delivery systems with high loading efficiency and tailorable release profiles.

Abstract
The co-delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and siRNA has gained increasing attentions owing to the enhanced antitumor efficacy over single administration. In this work, a chitosan-based pH-responsive prodrug vector was developed for the co-delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) and Bcl-2 siRNA. The accumulation of fabricated nanoparticles in hepatoma cells was enhanced by glycyrrhetinic acid receptor-mediated endocytosis. The cumulative release amount of the encapsulated DOX and siRNA reached 90.2 % and 81.3 % in 10 h, respectively. More strikingly, this nanoplatform can efficiently integrate gene- and chemo-therapies with a dramatically enhanced tumor inhibitory rate (88.0 %) in vivo. This co-delivery system may provide the latest strategy to meet the needs of combination therapies for tumors, offering safe and efficient improvements to the synergistic antitumor efficacy of gene-chemotherapies.

Abstract
Polyurethanes are of undoubted interest for the scientific community and the industry. Their outstanding versatility from tailor-made structures turns them into major polymers for use in a wide range of different applications. As with other polymers, new, emerging molecules and monomers with specific attributes can provide new functions and capabilities to polyurethanes. Natural and synthetic coumarin and its derivatives are characterised by interesting biological, photophysical and photochemical properties. Then, the polyurethanes can exploit those features of many coumarins which are present in their composition to achieve new functions and performances. This article reviews the developments in the proper use of the special properties of coumarins in polyurethanes to produce functional and smart materials that can be suitable for new specific applications.

Poly(ethylene glycol) shell-sheddable TAT-modified core cross-linked nano-micelles: TAT-enhanced cellular uptake and lysosomal pH-triggered doxorubicin release. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2020; 188:110772. [PMID: 31999965 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2020.110772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2019] [Revised: 01/02/2020] [Accepted: 01/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to develop sheddable polyethylene glycol (PEG) shells with TAT-modified core cross-linked nanomicelles as drug-delivery carriers of doxorubicin (DOX) to establish a programmed response against the tumor microenvironment, enhanced endocytosis, and lysosomal pH-triggered DOX release. First, poly(L-succinimide) (PSI) underwent a ring-opening reaction with ethylenediamine to generate poly(N-(2-aminoethyl)-l-aspartamide) (P(ae-Asp)). Next, the thiolytic cleavable PEG, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, and TAT were grafted onto P(ae-Asp) to synthesize the amphiphilic graft copolymer of mPEG-SS-g-P(ae-Asp)-MCA-DA-TAT. In aqueous solution, the amphiphilic polymer self-assembled into nanomicelles, encapsulating DOX into the hydrophobic core of micelles. TAT was shielded by the PEG corona during circulation to avoid non-specific transmembrane interaction with normal cells, while the tumor redox environment-responsive shedding of PEG could expose TAT to promote internalization of tumor cells. In order to improve the stability of nanomicelles and achieve pH-triggered drug release, a core cross-linking strategy based on the coordination of catechol and Fe3+ was adopted. In vitro studies demonstrated that core cross-linked nanomicelles maintained the nanostructure in 100 times dilution in pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Moreover, DOX release from DOX-loaded core cross-linked nanomicelles (DOX-TAT-CCLMs) was favored at simulated lysosomal conditions over simulated plasma conditions, indicating that these nanomicelles demonstrate characteristics of pH-triggered DOX release. The TAT modification considerably enhanced the mean fluorescence intensity of the nanomicelles endocytosed by MCF-7/ADR cells by 8 times, compared with DOX·HCl after 8 h of incubation. Notably, the IC50 value of nanomicelles (11.61 ± 0.95 μg/mL) was nearly 4 times lower than that of DOX·HCl against MCF-7/ADR cells, implying that the nanomicelles could overcome drug resistance observed in MCF-7/ADR cells. Furthermore, the DOX-TAT-CCLMs reported superior tumor growth suppression in a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model. Thus, the redox- and pH- stimuli stepwise-responsive novel nanomicelles fabricated from the mPEG-SS-g-P(ae-Asp)-MCA-DA-TAT graft copolymer exhibited multifunctionality and displayed great potential for drug delivery.

Abstract
AbstractA new functional pH-responsive polyurethane-based nanomicelle has been developed with BES-Na as the functional monomer, the buffering agent with tertiary amine, and sulfonic acid group was incorporated into the hydrophilic shell as the functional agent, which resulted in polyurethane nanosystem with pH-sensitive property. Folic acid (FA) was chosen as model hydrophobic drug to evaluate the loading and pH-triggered release of the PU micelles in vitro drug loading and release. The drug loading content (LC) and the encapsulation efficiency (EE) for FA-loaded micelles in phosphate-buffered solutions were 7.68% and 27.72%, respectively, and the largest accumulative drug release percentages in pH 6.8 and pH 5.0 were 79.17% and 89.83% in 24 h, respectively. A facile and versatile approach has been provided for the design and fabrication of smart nanovehicles for effective drug delivery and opens a new thought in the design and fabrication of biodegradable polyurethanes for next generation of nanomicellar systems.

Abstract
A novel ultrasensitive redox-responsive system for the controlled release of doxorubicin (DOX) was fabricated by ditelluride-containing poly(ether-urethane) copolymers. In this study, the ditelluride group was introduced for the first time into water-soluble copolymers used for drug delivery. Doxorubicin loaded in the copolymer nanoparticles can be released in a controlled manner through the cleavage of ditelluride bonds by glutathione (GSH). The ditelluride-containing poly(ether-urethane) nanoparticles were demonstrated to be biocompatible as drug delivery vehicles, therefore opening a new avenue in drug delivery systems for chemotherapy. Furthermore, the in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that the DOX-loaded ditelluride-containing poly(ether-urethane) nanoparticles exhibited efficient uptake in cancer cells, specific tumor targeting and antitumor activity, indicating their excellent potential as novel nanocarriers for drug delivery and cancer therapy.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymeric drug delivery systems using various triggers to release the drug at the sites have become a major focus area. Among various stimuli-responsive materials, pH-responsiveness has been studied extensively. The materials used for fabricating pH-responsive drug delivery systems include a specific chemical functionality in their structure that can respond to changes in the pH of the surrounding environment. Various chemical functionalities, for example, acetal, amine, ortho ester, amine and hydrazone, have been used to design materials that are capable of releasing their payload at the acidic pH conditions of the tumor or infection sites. Hydrazone linkages are significant synthons for numerous transformations and have gained importance in pharmaceutical sciences due to their various biological and clinical applications. These linkages have been employed in various drug delivery vehicles, such as linear polymers, star shaped polymers, dendrimers, micelles, liposomes and inorganic nanoparticles, for pH-responsive drug delivery. This review paper focuses on the synthesis and characterization methods of hydrazone bond containing materials and their applications in pH-responsive drug delivery systems. It provides detailed suggestions as guidelines to materials and formulation scientists for designing biocompatible pH-responsive materials with hydrazone linkages and identifying future studies.

Abstract
Well-defined poly(ethylene glycol)-b-allyl functional polylactide-b-polylactides (PEG-APLA-PLAs) are synthesized through sequential ring-opening polymerization. PEG-APLA-PLAs that have amphiphilic properties and reactive allyl side chains on their intermediate blocks are successfully transferred to core-shell interface cross-linked micelles (ICMs) by micellization and UV-initiated irradiation. ICMs have demonstrated enhanced colloidal stability in physiological-mimicking media. Hydrophobic molecules such as Nile Red or doxorubicin (Dox) are readily loaded into ICMs; the resulting drug-ICM formulations possess slow and sustained drug release profiles under physiological-mimicking conditions. ICMs exhibit negligible cytotoxicity in human uterine sarcoma cancer cells by using biodegradable aliphatic polyester as the hydrophobic segments. Relative to free Dox, Dox-loaded ICMs show a reduced cytotoxicity due to the late intracellular release of Dox from ICMs. Overall, ICMs represent a new type of biodegradable cross-linked micelle and can be employed as a promising platform for delivering a broad variety of hydrophobic drugs.
