Pharmaceutical Quality by Design Approach to Develop High-Performance Nanoparticles for Magnetic Hyperthermia. ACS NANO 2024; 18:15284-15302. [PMID: 38814737 PMCID: PMC11171760 DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.4c04685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia holds significant therapeutic potential, yet its clinical adoption faces challenges. One obstacle is the large-scale synthesis of high-quality superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) required for inducing hyperthermia. Robust and scalable manufacturing would ensure control over the key quality attributes of SPIONs, and facilitate clinical translation and regulatory approval. Therefore, we implemented a risk-based pharmaceutical quality by design (QbD) approach for SPION production using flame spray pyrolysis (FSP), a scalable technique with excellent batch-to-batch consistency. A design of experiments method enabled precise size control during manufacturing. Subsequent modeling linked the SPION size (6-30 nm) and composition to intrinsic loss power (ILP), a measure of hyperthermia performance. FSP successfully fine-tuned the SPION composition with dopants (Zn, Mn, Mg), at various concentrations. Hyperthermia performance showed a strong nonlinear relationship with SPION size and composition. Moreover, the ILP demonstrated a stronger correlation to coercivity and remanence than to the saturation magnetization of SPIONs. The optimal operating space identified the midsized (15-18 nm) Mn0.25Fe2.75O4 as the most promising nanoparticle for hyperthermia. The production of these nanoparticles on a pilot scale showed the feasibility of large-scale manufacturing, and cytotoxicity investigations in multiple cell lines confirmed their biocompatibility. In vitro hyperthermia studies with Caco-2 cells revealed that Mn0.25Fe2.75O4 nanoparticles induced 80% greater cell death than undoped SPIONs. The systematic QbD approach developed here incorporates process robustness, scalability, and predictability, thus, supporting the clinical translation of high-performance SPIONs for magnetic hyperthermia.

Abstract
High concentrations of ammonia in the human body can occur due to a wide variety of underlying causes such as liver cirrhosis and the symptoms of high ammonia concentrations are diffuse and hard to diagnose. The measurement of blood ammonia levels is an important diagnostic tool but is challenging to perform at the patient's bedside. Here, we present a plasmonic Ag nanoparticle-based ammonia sensor which provides a colorimetric optical readout and does not require specialised equipment. This is achieved using plasmonic Ag/SiO2 nanoparticles with the sensing mechanism that in the presence of OCl- they rapidly degrade reducing their plasmonic extinction and losing their characteristic colour. However, if ammonia is also present in the system, it neutralises the OCl- and thus the silver nanoparticles retain their plasmonic colour as can be measured by the naked eye or using a spectrometer. This sensing was further developed to enable measurements with animal serum as well as a implementing a facile "dip-stick" style paper-based sensor.

Abstract
Hydrogels obtained from natural polymers have received widespread attention for their excellent biocompatible property, nontoxicity, easy gelation, and functionalization. Polysaccharides can regulate the gut microbiota and improve the intestinal microenvironment, thus exerting the healthy effect of intestinal immunity. In an active substance delivery system, the extent and speed of the substance reaching its target are highly dependent on the carrier. Thus, the smart active substance delivery systems are gradually increasing. The smart polysaccharide-hydrogels possess the ability in response to external stimuli through changing their volume phase and structure, which are applied in various fields. Natural polysaccharide-based hydrogels possess excellent characteristics of environmental friendliness, good biocompatibility, and abundant sources. According to the response type, natural polysaccharide-based hydrogels are usually divided into stimulus-responsive hydrogels, including internal response (pH, temperature, enzyme, redox) and external response (light, electricity, magnetism) hydrogels. The delivery system based on polysaccharides can exert their effects in the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, polysaccharides may also take part in regulating the brain signals through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Therefore, natural polysaccharide-hydrogels are considered as promising biomaterials, which can be designed as delivery systems for regulating the gut-brain axis. This article reviews the research advance of stimulus-responsive hydrogels, which focus on the types, response characteristics, and applications for polysaccharide-based smart hydrogels as delivery systems.

Abstract
The development of actuators with remote control is important for the construction of devices for soft robotics. The present paper describes a responsive hydrogel of nontoxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable polymer carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guar with dynamic covalent cross-links and embedded cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. The nanoparticles significantly enhance the mechanical properties of the gel, acting as additional multifunctional non-covalent linkages between the polymer chains. High magnetization of the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles provides to the gel a strong responsiveness to the magnetic field, even at rather small content of nanoparticles. It is demonstrated that labile cross-links in the polymer matrix impart to the hydrogel the ability of self-healing and reshaping as well as a fast response to the magnetic field. In addition, the gel shows pronounced pH sensitivity due to pH-cleavable cross-links. The possibility to use the multiresponsive gel as a magnetic-field-triggered actuator is demonstrated.

Abstract
Our aim is to develop a hydrogel-based scaffold containing porous microchannels that mimic complex tissue microarchitecture and provide physical cues to guide cell growth for scalable, cost-effective tissue repair. These hydrogels are patterned through the novel process of magnetic templating where magnetic alginate microparticles (MAMs) are dispersed in a hydrogel precursor and aligned in a magnetic field before hydrogel crosslinking and subsequent MAM degradation, leaving behind an aligned, porous architecture. Here, a protocol for fabricating uniform MAMs using microfluidics was developed for improved reproducibility and tunability of templated microarchitecture. Through iron quantification, we find that this approach allows control over magnetic iron oxide loading of the MAMs. Using Brownian dynamics simulations and nano-computed tomography of templated hydrogels to examine MAM chain length and alignment, we find agreement between simulated and measured areal densities of MAM chains. Oscillatory rheology and stress relaxation experiments demonstrate that magnetically templated microchannels alter bulk hydrogel mechanical properties. Finally, in vitro studies where rat Schwann cells were cultured on templated hydrogels to model peripheral nerve injury repair demonstrate their propensity for providing cell guidance along the length of the channels. Our results show promise for a micro-structured biomaterial that could aid in tissue repair applications.

Abstract
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) play a vital role in the biological system. Exaggerated, ROS have devastating effects on the human body leading to the pathophysiological condition including the transformation of a normal cell into a cancer phenotype. Nature has blessed us with various biomolecules that we use along with our dietary supplements. Using such therapeutic small molecules covalently incorporated into biodegradable polyoxalate polymer backbone with a responsive group forms an efficient drug delivery vehicle. This chapter "Reactive oxygen species responsive naturally occurring phenolic-based polymeric prodrug" will be focusing on redox-responsive polymers incorporated with naturally occurring phenolics and clinical application.
