Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive therapy that has made significant progress in treating different diseases, including cancer, by utilizing new nanotechnology products such as graphene and its derivatives. Graphene-based materials have large surface area and photothermal effects thereby making them suitable candidates for PDT or photo-active drug carriers. The remarkable photophysical properties of graphene derivates facilitate the efficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon light irradiation, which destroys cancer cells. Surface functionalization of graphene and its materials can also enhance their biocompatibility and anticancer activity. The paper delves into the distinct roles played by graphene-based materials in PDT such as photosensitizers (PS) and drug carriers while at the same time considers how these materials could be used to circumvent cancer resistance. This will provide readers with an extensive discussion of various pathways contributing to PDT inefficiency. Consequently, this comprehensive review underscores the vital roles that graphene and its derivatives may play in emerging PDT strategies for cancer treatment and other medical purposes. With a better comprehension of the current state of research and the existing challenges, the integration of graphene-based materials in PDT holds great promise for developing targeted, effective, and personalized cancer treatments.

Ciprofloxacin Electrochemical Sensor Using Copper-Iron Mixed Metal Oxides Nanoparticles/Reduced Graphene Oxide Composite. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:23172-23183.

Abstract
The harmful effects of antibiotic proliferation on the environment and its persistent nature are urgent global problems. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a fluoroquinolone-class antibiotic agent used widely to treat pathogen-related diseases in humans and animals. Its excretion into surface water causes antibiotic resistance in microbes, resulting in difficult-to-treat or untreatable infectious diseases. This study developed a simple and efficient electrochemical sensor to detect CIP. Hydrothermal chemistry was utilized to synthesize an electrophotocatalytic composite of copper-iron mixed metal oxides (CIMMO) on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) (CIMMO/rGO). The composite was employed in an electrochemical sensor and exhibited outstanding performance in detecting CIP. The sensor was operated in differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) mode under light source illumination. The sensor yielded a linear response in the concentration range of 0.75 × 10-9-1.0 × 10-7 mol L-1 CIP and showed a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.74 × 10-10 mol L-1. The excellent sensing performance of the composite is attributable to the synergic effects between CIMMO nanoparticles and rGO, which facilitate photoinduced electron-hole separation and assist in the indirect electrochemical reactions/interactions with CIP.

Abstract
Surgically addressing tumors poses a challenge, requiring a tailored, multidisciplinary approach for each patient based on the unique aspects of their case. Innovative therapeutic regimens combined to reliable reconstructive methods can contribute to an extended patient's life expectancy. This study presents a detailed comparative investigation of near-infrared therapy protocols, examining the impact of non-fractionated and fractionated irradiation regimens on cancer treatment. The therapy is based on the implantation of graphene oxide/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) three-dimensional printed scaffolds, exploring their versatile applications in oncology by the examination of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, immune response, and in vitro and in vivo tumor therapy. The investigation into cell death patterns (apoptosis vs necrosis) underlines the pivotal role of protocol selection underscores the critical influence of treatment duration on cell fate, establishing a crucial parameter in therapeutic decision-making. In vivo experiments corroborated the profound impact of protocol selection on tumor response. The fractionated regimen emerged as the standout performer, achieving a substantial reduction in tumor size over time, surpassing the efficacy of the non-fractionated approach. Additionally, the fractionated regimen exhibited efficacy also in targeting tumors in proximity but not in direct contact to the scaffolds. Our results address a critical gap in current research, highlighting the absence of a standardized protocol for optimizing the outcome of photodynamic therapy. The findings underscore the importance of personalized treatment strategies in achieving optimal therapeutic efficacy for precision cancer therapy.

Abstract
Phosphorus-modified copper ferrite (P-CuFe2O4) nanoparticles were prepared by a simple sol-gel auto-combustion process and used for the photocatalytic ozonation of lomefloxacin (LOM). The morphology, crystallinity, and structure of the synthesized CuFe2O4 and P-CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were investigated using various techniques. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that the degradation of LOM achieved a 99% reduction after a duration of 90 min in the photocatalytic ozonation system. In accordance with the charge-to-mass ratio, four intermediates were proposed with the help of their fragments obtained in LC-MS/MS. The degradation kinetics of lomefloxacin followed a pseudo-first order reaction, and the degradation mechanism was proposed based on the results. P0.035Cu0.965Fe2O4 showed the highest total organic carbon (TOC) removal with 20.15% in 90 min, highest specific surface area and the highest fluoride and ammonium production using the ion chromatography (IC). The experimental results obtained from the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis indicated that the modified P-CuFe2O4 samples exhibited significantly elevated levels of superoxide (.O2-) production compared to the CuFe2O4 samples. The findings of this study demonstrate that the introduction of phosphorus modification into the copper ferrite photocatalyst led to an augmentation of both the specific surface area and the total pore volume. Furthermore, the incorporation of phosphorus served to promote the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs by effectively trapping electrons in the conduction band, hence enhancing the degradation efficiency.

Abstract
A multifunctional platform that meets the demands of both bacterial detection and elimination is urgently needed because of their harm to human health. Herein, a "sense-and-treat" biosensor was developed by using immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) and AgPt nanoparticle-decorated PCN-223-Fe (AgPt/PCN-223-Fe, PCN stands for porous coordination network) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The synthesized AgPt/PCN-223-Fe not only exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity but also could efficiently kill bacteria under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. This biosensor enabled the colorimetric detection of E. coli O157:H7 in the range of 103-108 CFU/mL with a limit of detection of 276 CFU/mL, accompanied with high selectivity, good reproducibility, and wide applicability in diverse real samples. Furthermore, the biosensor possessed a highly effective antibacterial rate of 99.94% against E. coli O157:H7 under 808 nm light irradiation for 20 min. This strategy can provide a reference for the design of novel versatile biosensors for bacterial discrimination and antibacterial applications.

Abstract
In this work, the mechanisms of radical generation on different functionalized graphene oxide (GO) conjugates under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation are investigated. The GO conjugates are designed to understand how chemical functionalization can influence the generation of radicals. Both pristine and functionalized GO are irradiated by a NIR laser, and the production of different reactive oxygen species (ROS) is investigated using fluorimetry and electron paramagnetic resonance to describe the type of radicals present on the surface of GO. The mechanism of ROS formation involves a charge transfer from the material to the oxygen present in the media, via the production of superoxide and singlet oxygen. Cytotoxicity and effects of ROS generation are then evaluated using breast cancer cells, evidencing a concentration dependent cell death associated to the heat and ROS. The study provides new hints to understand the photogeneration of radicals on the surface of GO upon near infrared irradiation, as well as, to assess the impact on these radicals in the context of a combined drug delivery system and phototherapeutic approach. These discoveries open the way for a better control of phototherapy-based treatments employing graphene-based materials.

Abstract
The ability of some nanoparticles to mimic the activity of certain enzymes paves the way for several attractive biomedical applications which bolster the already impressive arsenal of nanomaterials to combat deadly diseases. A key feature of such 'nanozymes' is the duplication of activities of enzymes or classes of enzymes, such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, oxidase, and peroxidase which are known to modulate the oxidative balance of treated cells for facilitating a particular biological process such as cellular apoptosis. Several nanoparticles that include those of metals, metal oxides/sulfides, metal-organic frameworks, carbon-based materials, etc., have shown the ability to behave as one or more of such enzymes. As compared to natural enzymes, these artificial nanozymes are safer, less expensive, and more stable. Moreover, their catalytic activity can be tuned by changing their size, shape, surface properties, etc. In addition, they can also be engineered to demonstrate additional features, such as photoactivated hyperthermia, or be loaded with active agents for multimodal action. Several researchers have explored the nanozyme-mediated oxidative modulation for therapeutic purposes, often in combination with other diagnostic and/or therapeutic modalities, using a single probe. It has been observed that such synergistic action can effectively by-pass the various defense mechanisms adapted by rogue cells such as hypoxia, evasion of immuno-recognition, drug-rejection, etc. The emerging prospects of using several such nanoparticle platforms for the treatment of bacterial infections/diseases and cancer, along with various related challenges and opportunities, are discussed in this review.

Abstract
At present, more than one cell death pathways have been found, one of which is ferroptosis. Ferroptosis was discovered in 2012 and described as an iron-dependent and lipid peroxidation-driven regulated cell death pathway. In the past few years, ferroptosis has been shown to induce tumor cell death, providing new ideas for tumor treatment. In this article, we summarize the latest advances in ferroptosis-induced tumor therapy at the intersection of tumor biology, molecular biology, redox biology, and materials chemistry. First, we state the characteristics of ferroptosis in cells, then introduce the key molecular mechanism of ferroptosis, and describes the relationship between ferroptosis and oxidative stress signaling pathways. Finally, we focused on several types of ferroptosis inducers discovered by scholars, and the application of ferroptosis in systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and nanomedicine, in the hope that ferroptosis can exert its potential in the treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Regulatory cell death has been a major focus area of cancer therapy research to improve conventional clinical cancer treatment (e.g. chemotherapy and radiotherapy). Ferroptosis, a novel form of regulated cell death mediated by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has been receiving increasing attention since its discovery in 2012. Owing to the highly iron-dependent physiological properties of cancer cells, targeting ferroptosis is a promising approach in cancer therapy. In this review, we summarised the characteristics of ferroptotic cells, associated mechanisms of ferroptosis occurrence and regulation and application of the ferroptotic pathway in cancer therapy, including the use of ferroptosis in combination with other therapeutic modalities. In addition, we presented the challenges of using ferroptosis in cancer therapy and future perspectives that may provide a basis for further research.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 609:364-374. [PMID: 34902673 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.11.183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Advances in nanozyme involve an efficient catalytic process, which has demonstrated great potential in tumor therapy. The key to improving catalytic therapy is to solve the limitation of the tumor microenvironment on Fenton reaction. In this work, Prussian blue nanoparticles doped with different rare earth ions (Yb3+, Gd3+, Tm3+) were screened to perform synergistic of photothermalandcatalytictumortherapy. The optimized catalytic performance can be further enhanced through photothermal effect to maximize the Fenton reaction to solve the limitation of the tumor microenvironment. Yb-PB, with the optimal photothermal and catalytic performance, was screened out. In order to avoid the scavenging effect of glutathione (GSH) on ·OH in tumor cells and the reaction with a bit H2O2 in normal cells, GSH targeted polydopamine (PDA) was wrapped on the surface of Yb-PB to obtain Yb-PB@PDA. It was found that enough hydroxyl radicals (·OH) can be generated even if at high GSH concentration and the NIR irradiation can help produce more ·OH. Cell fluorescence imaging (FOI) and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) experiments showed the potential application in FOI/MRI dual-mode imaging guided therapy. In vivo anti-tumor experiments showed that Yb-PB@PDA has a satisfactory anti-cancer effect through the combined effect of catalytic/photothermal therapy. Thus, a multifunctional nanozyme for tumor therapy is constructed.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has aroused great research interest in recent years owing to its high spatiotemporal selectivity, minimal invasiveness, and low systemic toxicity. However, due to the hypoxic nature characteristic of many solid tumors, PDT is frequently limited in therapeutic effect. Moreover, the consumption of O2 during PDT may further aggravate the tumor hypoxic condition, which promotes tumor proliferation, metastasis, and invasion resulting in poor prognosis of treatment. Therefore, numerous efforts have been made to increase the O2 content in tumor with the goal of enhancing PDT efficacy. Herein, these strategies developed in past decade are comprehensively reviewed to alleviate tumor hypoxia, including 1) delivering exogenous O2 to tumor directly, 2) generating O2 in situ, 3) reducing tumor cellular O2 consumption by inhibiting respiration, 4) regulating the TME, (e.g., normalizing tumor vasculature or disrupting tumor extracellular matrix), and 5) inhibiting the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway to relieve tumor hypoxia. Additionally, the O2 -independent Type-I PDT is also discussed as an alternative strategy. By reviewing recent progress, it is hoped that this review will provide innovative perspectives in new nanomaterials designed to combat hypoxia and avoid the associated limitation of PDT.

Abstract
The current treatment strategies for cancer therapy have posed many problems in achieving high efficacy. Therefore, an urgent step is needed to develop innovative therapies that can win beyond satisfactory results against tumor. Ferroptosis that is a kind of non-apoptotic based programmed cell death has played a crucial role in eradicating tumors by reactive oxygen species and iron-dependent pathways. Research shows a remarkable potential of ferroptosis in eliminating aggressive malignancies resistant to traditional therapies. The combination of nanomedicine and ferroptosis has revealed a close relationship for the treatment of various cancer types with high efficacy. This review introduces the basics of nanomedicine-based ferroptosis first to emphasize the feasibility and properties of ferroptosis in cancer therapy. Then, the current research on the applications of nanomedicine for the ferroptosis-based anticancer therapy is highlighted. Finally, conclusions and future research directions in perspective of various challenges in developing nanomedicine-based ferroptosis into clinical therapeutics are discussed.

Abstract
Ferrite nanoparticles have been widely used in the biomedical field (such as magnetic targeting, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic hyperthermia, etc.) due to their appealing magnetic properties. In tumor acidic microenvironment, ferrite nanoparticles show intrinsic peroxidase-like activities, which can catalyze the Fenton reaction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce highly toxic hydroxyl free radicals (•OH), causing the death of tumor cell. Recent progresses in this field have shown that the enzymatic activity of ferrite can be improved via converting external field energy such as alternating magnetic field and near-infrared laser into nanoscale heat to produce more •OH, enhancing the killing effect on tumor cells. On the other hand, combined with other nanomaterials or drugs for cascade reactions, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can also be increased to obtain more efficient cancer therapy. In this review, we will discuss the current status and progress of the application of ferrite nanoparticles in ROS-mediated cancer therapy and try to provide new ideas for this area.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derivatives had been widely explored in electronic and environmental fields, but rarely evaluated in the biomedical applications. Herein, Fe-N codoped carbon (FeNC) nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized via facile pyrolysis of precursor ZIF-8 (Fe/Zn) nanoparticles, and their potential applications in tumor therapy were assessed in this investigation both in vitro and in vivo. After PAA (sodium polyacrylate) modification, the FeNC@PAA nanoparticles were able to initiate a Fe-based Fenton-like reaction to generate ·OH and O2 for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and O2 evolution. Meanwhile, the porphyrin-like metal center in the FeNC@PAA nanoparticles could be used as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors, which could be enhanced by O2 generated in CDT. Furthermore, the FeNC@PAA nanoparticles were also found to be effective in photothermal therapy (PTT) with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 29.15%, owing to a high absorbance in the near-infrared region (NIR). In conclusion, the synthesized FeNC@PAA nanoparticles exhibited promising applications in O2 evolution and CDT/PDT/PTT synergistic treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Graphene and graphene-like two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, such as black phosphorus (BP), transition metal carbides/carbonitrides (MXene) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), have been extensively studied in recent years due to their unique physical and chemical properties. With atomic-scale thickness, these 2D materials and their derivatives can react with ROS and even scavenge ROS in the dark. With excellent biocompatibility and biosafety, they show great application potential in the antioxidant field and ROS detection for diagnosis. They can also generate ROS under light and be applied in antibacterial, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and other biomedical fields. Understanding the degradation mechanism of 2D nanomaterials by ROS generated under ambient conditions is crucial to developing air stable devices and expanding their application ranges. In this review, we summarize recent advances in 2D materials with a focus on the relationship between their intrinsic structure and the ROS scavenging or generating ability. We have also highlighted important guidelines for the design and synthesis of highly efficient ROS scavenging or generating 2D materials along with their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Fe/graphene oxide and Cu–Fe/graphene oxide nanocomposite were synthesized by the atomic implantation method to study the photocatalytic degradation of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by the XRD, N2 isotherms, SEM with EDX, TEM and XPS analysis. Characterization results have reported that oxides of Cu and Fe were uniformly distributed on graphene oxide and exited in the form of Cu+ and Fe2+ ions in Cu–Fe/graphene oxide nanocomposite. The high photocatalytic DDT removal efficiency 99.7% was obtained for Cu–Fe/graphene oxide under the optimal condition of 0.2 g/L catalyst, 15 mg/L H2O2 and pH 5. It was attributed to the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ by Cu+ ions and –OH radicals formation. However, it was dropped to 90.4% in the recycling study by leaching of iron and without a change in phase structure and morphology.

Abstract
Despite many endeavors to treat malignant gliomas in the last decades, the median survival of patients has not significantly improved. The infiltrative nature of high-grade gliomas and the impermeability of the blood-brain barrier to the most therapeutic agents remain major hurdles, impeding an efficacious treatment. Theranostic platforms bridging diagnosis and therapeutic modalities aim to surmount the current limitations in diagnosis and therapy of glioma. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) due to their biocompatibility and tunable optical properties have widely been utilized for an assortment of theranostic purposes. In this Review, applications of AuNPs as imaging probes, drug/gene delivery systems, radiosensitizers, photothermal transducers, and multimodal theranostic agents in malignant gliomas are discussed. This Review also aims to provide a perspective on cancer theranostic applications of AuNPs in future clinical trials.

Abstract
Although carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are remarkable materials with many exceptional characteristics, their poor chemical functionality limits their potential applications. Herein, a strategy is proposed for functionalizing CNTs, which can be achieved with any functional group (FG) without degrading their intrinsic structure by using a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-binding peptide (DBP) anchor. By employing a DBP tagged with a certain FG, such as thiol, biotin, and carboxyl acid, it is possible to introduce any FG with a controlled density on DNA-wrapped CNTs. Additionally, different types of FGs can be introduced on CNTs simultaneously, using DBPs tagged with different FGs. This method can be used to prepare CNT nanocomposites containing different types of nanoparticles (NPs), such as Au NPs, magnetic NPs, and quantum dots. The CNT nanocomposites decorated with these NPs can be used as reusable catalase-like nanocomposites with exceptional catalytic activities, owing to the synergistic effects of all the components. Additionally, the unique DBP-DNA interaction allows the on-demand detachment of the NPs attached to the CNT surface; further, it facilitates a CNT chirality-specific NP attachment and separation using the sequence-specific programmable characteristics of oligonucleotides. The proposed method provides a novel chemistry platform for constructing new functional CNTs suitable for diverse applications.

Abstract
Porous palladium (Pd) nanoparticles have garnered great research attention due to their potential anticancer activity and photothermal effect. In this study, a transferrin-conjugated pH-sensitive platform (Tf-PPP), comprising porous Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) and paclitaxel (PTX), was successfully developed for combined chemo-phototherapy. Tf-PPPs have a small size of 164.6 ± 8.7 nm, PDI of 0.278 ± 0.029, and negative charge (-13.2 ± 1.8 mV). Poly(acrylic acid)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PAA-PEO), a pH sensitive polymer, was used to achieve pH-dependent drug release from nanoparticles. Transferrin (Tf) conjugated on the surface of nanoplatforms could enhance the cellular uptake and prolong nanoparticle accumulation in the tumor site. The combination of phototherapy induced by PdNPs and chemotherapeutic agent (PTX) could exhibit synergistic anticancer activities. Consistent findings were observed in both in vitro experiments including cytotoxicity, live/dead assay, and assessment of apoptotic protein levels, and in vivo antitumor study in MCF-7 tumor-bearing mice, with results decreasing in the following order: Tf-PPPs + NIR > Tf-PPPs > PPPs + NIR > PPPs > PTX > PdNPs. These findings suggest that the administration of Tf-PPPs, followed by NIR irradiation could be a promising strategy in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Currently, cancer is the second largest cause of death worldwide and has reached critical levels. In spite of all the efforts, common treatments including chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and photothermal therapy suffer from various problems which limit their efficiency and performance. For this reason, different strategies are being explored which improve the efficiency of these traditional therapeutic methods or treat the tumor cells directly. One such strategy utilizing the Fenton reaction has been investigated by many groups for the possible treatment of cancer cells. This approach is based on the knowledge that high levels of hydrogen peroxide exist within cancer cells and can be used to catalyze the Fenton reaction, leading to cancer-killing reactive oxygen species. Analysis of the current literature has shown that, due to the diverse morphologies, different sizes, various chemical properties, and the tunable structure of nanoparticles, nanotechnology offers the most promising method to facilitate the Fenton reaction with cancer therapy. This review aims to highlight the use of the Fenton reaction using different nanoparticles to improve traditional cancer therapies and the emerging Fenton-based therapy, highlighting the obstacles, challenges, and promising developments in each of these areas.

Abstract
Despite high sodium storage capacity and better reversibility, metal sulfides suffer from relatively low conductivity and severe volume change as anode materials of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Introducing a conductive carbon matrix is an efficient method to enhance their sodium storage performance. Herein, we present iron sulfide (Fe7S8) nanoparticles anchored on nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheets fabricated through a combined strategy of solvothermal and postheating process. The as-prepared composite exhibits appealing cycling stability (a high discharge capacity of 393.1 mA h g-1 over 500 cycles at a current density of 400 mA g-1 and outstanding high-rate performance of 543 mA h g-1 even at 10 A g-1). Considering the excellent sodium storage performance, this composite is quite hopeful to become a potential candidate as anode materials for future SIBs.

Abstract
Graphene has a promising future in applications such as disease diagnosis, cancer therapy, drug/gene delivery, bio-imaging and antibacterial approaches owing to graphene's unique physical, chemical and mechanical properties alongside minimal toxicity to normal cells, and photo-stability. However, these unique features and bioavailability of graphene are fraught with uncertainties and concerns for environmental and occupational exposure. Changes in the physicochemical properties of graphene affect biological responses including reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Lower production of ROS by currently available theranostic agents, e.g. magnetic nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, gold nanostructures or polymeric nanoparticles, restricts their clinical application in cancer therapy. Oxidative stress induced by graphene accumulated in living organs is due to acellular factors which may affect physiological interactions between graphene and target tissues and cells. Acellular factors include particle size, shape, surface charge, surface containing functional groups, and light activation. Cellular responses such as mitochondrial respiration, graphene-cell interactions and pH of the medium are also determinants of ROS production. The mechanisms of ROS production by graphene and the role of ROS for cancer treatment, are poorly understood. The aim of this review is to set the theoretical basis for further research in developing graphene-based theranostic platforms.
