Abstract
In clinical practice, the incidence and mortality of non-small cell lung cancer are increasing year by year, which is a serious threat to the health of patients. Once the optimal surgical window is missed, the toxic side effects of chemotherapy have to be confronted. With the rapid development of nanotechnology in recent years, medical science and health have been greatly impacted. Therefore, in this manuscript, we design and prepare chemotherapeutic drug vinorelbine (VRL)-loaded polydopamine (PDA) shell-coated Fe3O4 superparticles, and further graft the targeted ligand RGD onto their surface. Because of the introduction of the PDA shell, the toxicity of the prepared Fe3O4@PDA/VRL-RGD SPs is greatly reduced. At the same time, due to the existence of Fe3O4, the Fe3O4@PDA/VRL-RGD SPs also have MRI contrast capability. Under the dual-targeting effect of RGD peptide and external magnetic field, Fe3O4@PDA/VRL-RGD SPs can accumulate into tumors effectively. The accumulated superparticles in the tumor sites can not only effectively identify and mark the location and boundary of the tumor under MRI, guideing the application of near-infrared laser, but also release the loaded VRL under the stimulation of the acidic microenvironment of the tumor to play the role of chemotherapy. On further combination with photothermal therapy under laser irradiation, A549 tumors are completely eliminated without recurrence. Our proposed RGD/magnetic field dual-targeting strategy can effectively improve the bioavailability of nanomaterials and contribute to better imaging and therapeutic effects, which has a promising application prospect in the future.

Abstract
Synthesis and characterization of structure magnetic properties of Fe3O4@ZnO- C nanocomposite have been done through the precipitation method. This study aimed to discover the effect of concentrations/thickness of carbon layer on crystal structure and magnetic properties of Fe3O4@ZnO-C nanocomposites. Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@ZnO were the samples used in the study, and variations in the amount of carbon were 0.2, 0.1, and 0.05 g. Nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Based on the results of XRD, it has been found that the crystal structure for Fe3O4 was cubic, while ZnO was hexagonal wurtzite. The addition of carbons to Fe3O4@ZnO caused a broadening of the diffraction peaks and a decrease in the degree of crystallinity. The bonds formed on Fe3O4@ZnO-C nanocomposites, i.e. Fe-O bonds indicated the formation of Fe3O4, Zn-O bonds showed the formation of ZnO and C-O, C-H, and O-H bonds revealed the presence of a carbon layer originated from glucose. The VSM results showed that the magnetic saturation decreased with increasing carbon mass. Overall, the carbon-coated nanocomposite material with a carbon mass variation of 0.2, 0.1, and 0.05 g showed superparamagnetic properties with a magnetic saturation of 18.23 emu/g, 19.33 emu/g and 22.05 emu/g, while for the coercive field of 92.29 Oe, 92.90 Oe and 89.60 Oe, respectively. Based on these characterization results, Fe3O4@ZnO-C nanocomposite materials can potentially be developed as biomedical materials, such as the materials for photothermal therapy for cancer cells.

Characterization Challenges of Self-Assembled Polymer-SPIONs Nanoparticles: Benefits of Orthogonal Methods. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232416124. [PMID: 36555765 PMCID: PMC9786186 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232416124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Size and zeta potential are critical physicochemical properties of nanoparticles (NPs), influencing their biological activity and safety profile. These are essential for further industrial upscale and clinical success. However, the characterization of polydisperse, non-spherical NPs is a challenge for traditional characterization techniques (ex., dynamic light scattering (DLS)). In this paper, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were coated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVAL) exhibiting different terminal groups at their surface, either hydroxyl (OH), carboxyl (COOH) or amino (NH2) end groups. Size, zeta potential and concentration were characterized by orthogonal methods, namely, batch DLS, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), tunable resistive pulse sensing (TRPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled to multi-angle light scattering (MALS), UV-Visible and online DLS. Finally, coated SPIONs were incubated with albumin, and size changes were monitored by AF4-MALS-UV-DLS. NTA showed the biggest mean sizes, even though DLS PVAL-COOH SPION graphs presented aggregates in the micrometer range. TRPS detected more NPs in suspension than NTA. Finally, AF4-MALS-UV-DLS could successfully resolve the different sizes of the coated SPION suspensions. The results highlight the importance of combining techniques with different principles for NPs characterization. The advantages and limitations of each method are discussed here.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect and safety of crizotinib loaded polydopamine-polylactide-TPGS nanoparticles (CZT/pD-PT NPs) on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). CZT/pD-PT NPs were synthesized and characterized, and their effects on PC-9 cell viability and apoptosis were determined. In vivo experiment was further performed to evaluate the anti-NSCLC efficacy of CZT/pD-PT NPs. TUNEL assay and Western blot were respectively applied for the determination of cell apoptosis and apoptosis-related protein expression, while liver function-related index expression detection and liver histopathological detection were used to evaluate the hepatotoxicity of CZT/pD-PT NPs. Compared with free CZT, CZT/pD-PT NPs had a sustained-release effect and promoted the cellular uptake of CZT. In addition, CZT/pD-PT NPs significantly inhibited PC-9 cell viability and promoted cell apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo, exhibiting superior cytotoxicity. At the same time, CZT/pD-PT NPs had no significant effect on liver tissue morphology and liver function-related indicators such as ALP, ALT, AST, and DBIL. CZT/pD-PT NPs have excellent anti-NSCLC effect with low hepatotoxicity, which can be served as a novel drug delivery system to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy for NSCLC.

Abstract
Currently, tumor treatments are characterized by intelligence, diversity and personalization, but the therapeutic reagents used are often limited in clinical efficacy due to problems with water solubility, targeting, stability and multidrug resistance. To remedy these shortcomings, the application of multifunctional nanotechnology in the biomedical field has been widely studied. Synthetic melanin nanoparticles (MNPs) surfaces which contain highly reactive chemical groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl and amine groups, can be used as a reaction platform on which to graft different functional components. In addition, MNPs easily adhere to substrate surface, and serve as a secondary reaction platform to modify it. The multifunctionality and intrinsic biocompatibility make melanin-like nanoparticles promising as a multifunctional and powerful nanoplatform for oncological applications. This paper first reviews the preparation methods, polymerization mechanisms and physicochemical properties of melanin including natural melanin and chemically synthesized melanin to guide scholars in MNP-based design. Then, recent advances in MNPs especially synthetic polydopamine (PDA) melanin for various medical oncological applications are systematically and thoroughly described, mainly focusing on bioimaging, photothermal therapy (PTT), and drug delivery for tumor therapy. Finally, based on the investigated literature, the current challenges and future directions for clinical translation are reasonably discussed, focusing on the innovative design of MNPs and further elucidation of pharmacokinetics. This paper is a timely and comprehensive and detailed study of the progress of MNPs in tumor therapy, especially PTT, and provides ideas for the design of personalized and customizable oncology nanomedicines to address the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Aim: Gold nanoblackbodies (AuNBs)-mediated plasmonic photothermal cancer therapy was investigated through melanoma-bearing mice. Materials & methods: Polydopamine-coated Au nanoclusters were synthesized, termed AuNBs and PEGylated AuNBs (AuNBs-PEG). The photothermal response of AuNBs-PEG was evaluated upon low-intensity broadband near-infrared irradiation (785/62 nm; 0.9 Wcm-2), and cytotoxicity was assessed on B16-F10 cells. Further, the therapeutic potential of intravenously administered AuNBs-PEG was evaluated on B16-F10 melanoma in C57BL/6 mice. Results: AuNBs-PEG showed an excellent photothermal response (photothermal conversion efficiency of 60.3%), robust photothermal stability and no cytotoxicity. For AuNB-mediated plasmonic photothermal therapy, an average temperature of 63°C was attained within 5 min of irradiation, and tumors were eradicated. Conclusion: AuNBs-PEG are promising photothermal agents for treating melanoma through low-intensity broadband near-infrared irradiation.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) holds promise for the early clinical diagnosis of various diseases, but most clinical MR techniques require the use of a contrast medium. Several nanomaterial (NM) mediated contrast agents (CAs) are widely used as T1- and T2-based MR contrast agents for clinical and non-clinical applications. Unfortunately, most NM-based CAs are toxic or non-biocompatible, restricting their practical/clinical applications. Therefore, the development of nontoxic and biocompatible CAs for clinical MRI diagnosis is highly desired. To this end, several biocompatible and biomimetic strategies have been developed to offer long blood circulation time, significant biocompatibility, in vivo biodistribution and high contrast ability for efficient imaging. However, detailed review reports on biocompatible NMs, specifically for MR imaging have not yet been summarized. Thus, in the present review we summarize various surface coating strategies (such as polymers, proteins, cell membranes, etc.) to achieve biocompatible NPs, providing a detailed discussion of advances and future prospects for safe MRI imaging.

Abstract
A ferrofluid with 1,2-Benzenediol-coated iron oxide nanoparticles was synthesized and physicochemically analyzed. This colloidal system was prepared following the typical co-precipitation method, and superparamagnetic nanoparticles of 13.5 nm average diameter, 34 emu/g of magnetic saturation, and 285 K of blocking temperature were obtained. Additionally, the zeta potential showed a suitable colloidal stability for cancer therapy assays and the magneto-calorimetric trails determined a high power absorption density. In addition, the oxidative capability of the ferrofluid was corroborated by performing the Fenton reaction with methylene blue (MB) dissolved in water, where the ferrofluid was suitable for producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), and surprisingly a strong degradation of MB was also observed when it was combined with H2O2. The intracellular ROS production was qualitatively corroborated using the HT-29 human cell line, by detecting the fluorescent rise induced in 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate. In other experiments, cell metabolic activity was measured, and no toxicity was observed, even with concentrations of up to 4 mg/mL of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). When the cells were treated with magnetic hyperthermia, 80% of cells were dead at 43 °C using 3 mg/mL of MNPs and applying a magnetic field of 530 kHz with 20 kA/m amplitude.

Abstract
Combining diagnosis and treatment approaches in one entity is the goal of theranostics for cancer therapy. Magnetic nanoparticles have been extensively used as contrast agents for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging as well as drug carriers and remote actuation agents. Poly(2-oxazoline)-based polymeric micelles, which have been shown to efficiently solubilize hydrophobic drugs and drug combinations, have high loading capacity (above 40% w/w) for paclitaxel. In this study, we report the development of novel theranostic system, NanoFerrogels, which is designed to capitalize on the magnetic nanoparticle properties as imaging agents and the poly(2-oxazoline)-based micelles as drug loading compartment. We developed six formulations with magnetic nanoparticle content of 0.3%-12% (w/w), with the z-average sizes of 85-130 nm and ξ-potential of 2.7-28.3 mV. The release profiles of paclitaxel from NanoFerrogels were notably dependent on the degree of dopamine grafting on poly(2-oxazoline)-based micelles. Paclitaxel loaded NanoFerrogels showed efficacy against three breast cancer lines which was comparable to free paclitaxel. They also showed improved tumor and lymph node accumulation and signal reduction in vivo (2.7% in tumor; 8.5% in lymph node) compared to clinically approved imaging agent ferumoxytol (FERAHEME®) 24 h after administration. NanoFerrogels responded to super-low frequency alternating current magnetic field (50 kA m-1, 50 Hz) which accelerated drug release from paclitaxel-loaded NanoFerrogels or caused death of cells loaded with NanoFerrogels. These proof-of-concept experiments demonstrate that NanoFerrogels have potential as remotely actuated theranostic platform for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Drug conjugated iron oxide magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles are of great interest in the field of biomedicine. In this study, vancomycin (Van) conjugated magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were envisioned to capture and inhibit the growth of bacteria. Hydrophobic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by using co-precipitation of ferrous (Fe2+) and ferric (Fe3+) ions following a surface modification step with oleic acid as stabilizers. Thereafter, a ligand exchange technique was employed to displace oleic acid with hydrophilic dopamine (DOPA) molecules which have a catechol group for anchoring to the iron oxide surface to prepare water dispersible nanoparticles. The surface of the resulting Fe3O4/DOPA nanoparticles contains amino (–NH2) groups that are conjugated with vancomycin via a coupling reaction between the –NH2 group of dopamine and the –COOH group of vancomycin. The prepared vancomycin conjugated Fe3O4/DOPA nanoparticles were named Fe3O4/DOPA/Van and exhibited a magnetic response to an external magnetic field due to the presence of magnetite Fe3O4 in the core. The Fe3O4/DOPA/Van nanoparticles showed bactericidal activity against both Gram positive Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) and Streptococcus and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli). Maximum inhibition zones of 22 mm, 19 mm and 18 mm were found against B. subtilis, Streptococcus and E. coli respectively. Most importantly, the vancomycin conjugated nanoparticles were effectively bound to the cell wall of the bacteria, promoting bacterial separation and growth inhibition. Therefore, the prepared Fe3O4/DOPA/Van nanoparticles can be promising for effective bacterial separation and killing in the dispersion media. (a) The separation of bacteria by vancomycin conjugated Fe3O4/DOPA/Van nanoparticles and (b) H-bonding interactions between the vancomycin molecule and the d-alanyl-d-alanine dipeptide of the bacterial surface.![]()

Abstract
Cancer therapy is a fast-emerging biomedical paradigm that elevates the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of a nanovector for identification, monitoring, targeting, and post-treatment response analysis. Nanovectors of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) are of tremendous significance in cancer therapy because of their inherited high surface area, high reactivity, biocompatibility, superior contrast, and magnetic and photo-inducibility properties. In addition to a brief introduction, we summarize various progressive aspects of nanomagnets pertaining to their production with an emphasis on sustainable biomimetic approaches. Post-synthesis particulate and surface alterations in terms of pharmaco-affinity, liquid accessibility, and biocompatibility to facilitate cancer therapy are highlighted. SPION parameters including particle contrast, core-fusions, surface area, reactivity, photosensitivity, photodynamics, and photothermal properties, which facilitate diverse cancer diagnostics, are discussed. We also elaborate on the concept of magnetism to selectively focus chemotherapeutics on tumors, cell sorting, purification of bioentities, and elimination of toxins. Finally, while addressing the toxicity of nanomaterials, the advent of ultrasmall nanomagnets as a healthier alternative with superior properties and compatible cellular interactions is reviewed. In summary, these discussions spotlight the versatility and integration of multi-tasking nanomagnets and ultrasmall nanomagnets for diverse cancer theragnostics. SPION synthesis with ascribed prominence on sustainable procedures. Particulate species, composition, and surface alteration-enabled theragnostics are highlighted. Inherent properties of SPIONs facilitating cancer diagnostics are elaborated. Magnetism-based “chemotherapeutics,” cell-sorting, and bioentity purification are emphasized. Emergence of ultrasmall SPIONs as a healthier option is summarized.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase-mediated starvation therapy that effectively cuts off energy supply holds great promise in cancer treatment. However, high glutathione (GSH) contents and anoxic conditions severely reduce therapy efficiency and cannot fully kill cancer cells. Herein, to resolve the above problem, this study constructed a biomimetic nanosystem based on nanreproo-MnO2with porous craspedia globose-like structure and high specific surface area, and it was further modified with dopamine and folic acid to guarantee good biocompatibility and selectivity toward cancer cells. This nanosystem responsively degraded and reacted with GSH and acid to regenerate O2, which significantly increased intracellular O2levels, accelerated glucose consumption, and improved starvation therapy efficiency. Moreover, anticancer drug of camptothecin was further loaded, and notably enhanced cancer growth inhibition was obtained at very low drug concentrations. Most importantly, this novel therapy could unprecedentedly inhibit cancer cell migration to a very low ratio of 19%, and detailed cell apoptosis analyses revealed late stage apoptosis contributed most to the good therapeutic effect. This work reported a new train of thought to improve starvation therapy in biomedicine, and provided a new strategy to design targeted nanocarrier to delivery mixed drugs to overcome the restriction of starvation therapy and develop new therapy patterns.

Abstract
Plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT), which involves nanoparticles and near-infrared radiation (NIR) to generate confined heat, is a potential technique for selective thermal damage of cancerous tissue. Herein, tumor-selective spatial damage characteristics during polydopamine (PDA) coated gold nano blackbodies (AuNBs) mediated PPTT is investigated through a tumortissue mimicking phantom. The spatial temperatures during PPTT were measured within the phantom mimicking the optical scattering of superficial invasive ductal carcinoma (injected with AuNBs) surrounded by a region without AuNBs. The phantom was irradiated using broadband NIR radiation (754-816 nm), and spatial temperatures were measured using thermocouples and an infrared thermal camera. The obtained results demonstrate that the tumor region's temperature was elevated to >50°C in about 2.5 minutes and was maintained thereafter for about 6 minutes, which is well sufficient for the thermal ablation of the tumor. While for the region surrounding the tumor, a temperature of about 40-44°C was attained, which is within safe limits for the said exposure duration. Overall, this study demonstrates that for the considered experimental parameters and tumor dimensions, heat-based thermal damage could be confined to the nanoparticle embedded tumor region while maintaining the safe temperature levels for the surrounding region, i.e., 2 mm beyond the tumor boundary.

Abstract
Herein, novel rodlike CdTe@MPA-PDA particles based on polydopamine (PDA) loaded with CdTe quantum dots (QDs) capped with mercaptopropionic acid (CdTe@MPA QDs) with atypical chemical features are evaluated as a potential actuator for photothermal therapy and oxidative stress induction. Under mild conditions established for the safe and efficient use of lasers, temperature increases of 10.2 and 7.8 °C, photothermal conversion efficiencies of 37.7 and 26.2%, and specific absorption rates of 99 and 69 W/g were obtained for CdTe@MPA-PDA and traditional PDA particles in water, respectively. The particles were set to interact with the human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MDA-MB-231. A significant cellular uptake with the majority of particles colocalized into the lysosomes was obtained at a concentration of 100 μg/mL after 24 h. Additionally, CdTe@MPA-PDA and CdTe@MPA QDs showed significantly different internalization levels and loading kinetics profiles. For the first time, the thermal lens technique was used to demonstrate the stability of particle-like CdTe@MPA-PDA after heating at pH 7 and their migration within the heating region due to the thermodiffusion effect. However, under acidic pH-type lysosomes, a performance decrease in heating was observed, and the chemical feature of the particles was damaged as well. Besides, the internalized rodlike CdTe@MPA-PDA notably enhanced the induction of oxidative stress compared with PDA alone and CdTe@MPA QDs in MDA-MB-231 cells initiating apoptosis. Combining these effects suggests that after meticulous optimizations of the conditions, the CdTe@MPA-PDA particles could be used as a photothermal agent under mild conditions and short incubation time, allowing cytoplasmatic subcellular localization. On the other hand, the same particles act as cell killers by triggering reactive oxygen species after a longer incubation time and lysosomal subcellular localization due to the pH effect on the chemical morphology features of the CdTe@MPA-PDA particles.

Abstract
The design and development of multifunctional nanoparticles have attracted great interest in biomedical research. This study aims to prepare pH-responsive melanin-like nanoparticles for T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photothermal therapy. The new multifunctional nanoparticles (amino-Fe-PDANPs) are synthesized by copolymerization of dopamine and its derivative amino-N-[2-(diethylamino) ethyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-benzenepropanamide (N-Dopa) at room temperature. The size of nanoparticles can be controlled by NaOH concentration. The incorporation of N-Dopa is characterized by NMR and FT-IR. From transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the nanoparticles exhibit excellent dispersion stability in water and are spherical in shape. The MRI measurement has demonstrated that amino-Fe-PDANPs have a significant signal enhancement in responding to the acidic solution. Confirmed by the photothermal study, the nanoparticles exhibit a high photothermal conversion efficiency. The melanin-like multifunctional nanoparticles integrate both diagnosis and therapeutic functionalities, indicating the potential for theranostic application.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticle clusters composed of primary magnetic nanoparticles can not only significantly enhance the magnetic properties of the assembly but also retain the superparamagnetic properties of the individual primary nanoparticle, which is of great significance for promoting the development of multifunctional advanced materials. Herein, water-soluble biocompatible and superparamagnetic europium-doped iron oxide nanoparticle clusters (EuIO NCs) were directly synthesized by a simple one-pot method. The obtained EuIO NCs have excellent water solubility, colloidal stability, and biocompatibility. Europium doping significantly improved the contrast enhancement effect of EuIO NCs in T1-weighted MR imaging. In addition, EuIO NCs can be functionalized by active molecules, and the rhodamine123-functionalized EuIO NCs have long circulation time and excellent fluorescence imaging performance in vivo. This study provides a simple strategy for the design and construction of a novel multifunctional magnetic nanoplatform and provides solutions for the development of multimodal imaging probes and the diagnosis of disease.

Abstract
Over the last decade, an important challenge in nanomedicine imaging has been the work to design multifunctional agents that can be detected by single and/or multimodal techniques. Among the broad spectrum of nanoscale materials being investigated for imaging use, iron oxide nanoparticles have gained significant attention due to their intrinsic magnetic properties, low toxicity, large magnetic moments, superparamagnetic behaviour and large surface area-the latter being a particular advantage in its conjunction with specific moieties, dye molecules, and imaging probes. Tracers-based nanoparticles are promising candidates, since they combine synergistic advantages for non-invasive, highly sensitive, high-resolution, and quantitative imaging on different modalities. This study represents an overview of current advancements in magnetic materials with clinical potential that will hopefully provide an effective system for diagnosis in the near future. Further exploration is still needed to reveal their potential as promising candidates from simple functionalization of metal oxide nanomaterials up to medical imaging.

Abstract
The treatment of cancer includes several conventional therapies like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, etc. but mostly associated with limitations like off-targeted action, fatigue and organ toxicity. The emergence of nanotechnology-enabled drug delivery systems shows revolutionary development to overcome the limitations of such therapies. Magnetic nanocomposites are the new area of research that consists of nanoscale magnetic materials for triggering the release of active in response to an external magnetic field. For targeted drug delivery and enhancing the biocompatibility, effective functionalization of magnetic nanocomposites is required. Therefore, several biological molecules like carbohydrate polymers, proteins, nucleic acids, antibodies, etc. are used. This review article focuses on the insights of advances in the development of carbohydrate-based magnetic nanocomposites for safe and effective cancer treatment. Carbohydrate-based magnetic nanocomposites offer significant advantages like greater stability, higher biocompatibility and lower toxicity with better physicochemical properties such as higher magnetic moments and anisotropy, larger heating properties, etc. Magnetic nanocomposites explore in almost all the areas of cancer therapeutics for drug delivery carrier, as antineoplastic and MRI contrast agents and in photothermal, photodynamic and in combinational therapies for the development of safer nanocarriers. Such progressive trend of carbohydrate-based magnetic nanocomposites will encourage the researchers for better site-specific delivery with higher safety profile in cancer therapy.

Solvothermal Synthesis Combined with Design of Experiments-Optimization Approach for Magnetite Nanocrystal Clusters. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11020360. [PMID: 33535568 PMCID: PMC7912753 DOI: 10.3390/nano11020360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2020] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Magnetite nanocrystal clusters are being investigated for their potential applications in catalysis, magnetic separation, and drug delivery. Controlling their size and size distribution is of paramount importance and often requires tedious trial-and-error experimentation to determine the optimal conditions necessary to synthesize clusters with the desired properties. In this work, magnetite nanocrystal clusters were prepared via a one-pot solvothermal reaction, starting from an available protocol. In order to optimize the experimental factors controlling their synthesis, response surface methodology (RSM) was used. The size of nanocrystal clusters can be varied by changing the amount of stabilizer (tribasic sodium citrate) and the solvent ratio (diethylene glycol/ethylene glycol). Tuning the experimental conditions during the optimization process is often limited to changing one factor at a time, while the experimental design allows for variation of the factors’ levels simultaneously. The efficiency of the design to achieve maximum refinement for the independent variables (stabilizer amount, diethylene glycol/ethylene glycol (DEG/EG) ratio) towards the best conditions for spherical magnetite nanocrystal clusters with desirable size (measured by scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering) and narrow size distribution as responses were proven and tested. The optimization procedure based on the RSM was then used in reverse mode to determine the factors from the knowledge of the response to predict the optimal synthesis conditions required to obtain a good size and size distribution. The RSM model was validated using a plethora of statistical methods. The design can facilitate the optimization procedure by overcoming the trial-and-error process with a systematic model-guided approach.

Abstract
Theranostic nanosystems are emerging as a promising approach for controlled drug delivery, diagnosis and multimodal therapeutics. Herein, a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform is reported for photothermal-chemo combination therapy functioned with magnetic and thermal imaging. Hyaluronic acid (HA) coated Fe3O4@polydopamine nanoparticles equipped with redox-sensitive disulfide linkers have been subsequently deposited with an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX) (termed as FPCH-DOX NPs). These nanocomposites possess an average diameter of 120 nm, a saturation magnetization of 28.5 emu g-1, DOX loading capacity of 7.13% and a transverse relaxation rate of 171.76 mM-1 s-1. The drug release could be triggered by pH, glutathione (GSH) concentration and light irradiation. Prussian blue staining and confocal microscopy demonstrate that these nanoplatforms have improved biocompatibility and cellular uptake in CD44-positive HeLa cell lines rather than in CD44-negative NIH 3T3 normal cell lines. In vitro evaluations demonstrate that the combination therapy of FPCH-DOX NPs lowers the cell viability to 16.2%, less than that of individual chemotherapy (55.3%) or PTT (52.1%). In vivo MRI indicates that the tumor accumulation of FPCH-DOX NPs provides enhanced MRI contrast, and in vivo thermal imaging verified their localized photothermal conversion effect in tumor tissues. Importantly, FPCH-DOX NPs present remarkable anti-tumor efficacy by photothermal-chemo combination therapy. H&E and Ki67 staining tests show obvious necrosis and weak cell proliferation at the region of the tumor. Thus, FPCH-DOX NPs are promising multifunctional nanoplatforms for highly effective cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Differential diagnosis between inflammatory mass and malignant glioma is of great significance to patients, which is the basis for developing accurate individualized treatment. Due to the lack of non-invasive imaging characterization methods in the clinical application, the current diagnosis grading of glioma mainly depended on the pathological biopsy, which is complicated and risky. This study aims to develop a non-invasive imaging differential diagnosis method of glioma based on the reduction activated strategy of intracellular aggregation of sensitive superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (SIONPs). In vitro and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging results indicated that SIONPs could specifically increase the T2 relaxation rate and enhance MR imaging in tumor with redox microenvironment by the response-aggregation in the tumorous site. In vivo experiments also demonstrate that the substantial improvement of T2-weighted imaging contrast could be used to differentiate inflammatory mass and malignant glioma. The reduction-active MR imaging contrast agent offers a new paradigm for designing "smart" MR imaging probes of differential diagnosis of the tumor.

Abstract
The synergistic tumor therapy in single nanoplatform has always been the goal for high efficacy tumor treatment while still remains great challenge. This paper reports a versatile nanotheranostic platform enlisting magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, polydopamine (PDA), gold nanocages (Au nanocage) and metal organic framework (MOF, MIL101-NH2 ) in order to achieve synergistic chemothermal tumor therapy both in vitro and in vivo. The prepared magnetic photothermal nanoparticles (MPNPs) exhibit high drug loading capacity (31.34 mg/g), superior photo-thermal capacity (11.5°C enhancement in 180 s), low bio-toxicity, good magnetic resonance with a low dosage of 22 μg/g, as well as high antitumor efficacy in vivo. Such a novel and multifunctional nanoplatform is expected to find promising applications in target tumor synergistic therapy.

Magnetite Nanoparticles and Spheres for Chemo- and Photothermal Therapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in vitro. Int J Nanomedicine 2020; 15:7923-7936.

Abstract
Introduction We present a multimodal nanoplatforms for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vitro. The nanoplatforms are based on polydopamine (PDA)-coated magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) and spheres (sMAG) with PAMAM dendrimers and functionalized with NHS-PEG-Mal (N-hydroxysuccinimide–polyethylene glycol–maleimide) linker, which allows their functionalization with a folic acid derivative. The nanomaterials bearing a folic acid-targeting moiety show high efficiency in killing cancer cells in the dual chemo- and photothermal therapy (CT-PTT) of the liver cancer cells in comparison to modalities performed separately. Materials and Methods All materials are characterized in detail with transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, zeta potential and magnetic measurements. Also, photothermal properties were determined under irradiation of nanoparticles with laser beam of 2 W/cm2. The nontoxicity of nanoparticles with doxorubicin and without was checked by WST and LIVE/DEAD assay. Those tests were also used to evaluate materials bearing folic acid and anticancer drug in combined chemo- and photothermal therapy of HCC. Further, the generation of reactive oxygen species profile was also evaluated using flow cytometry test. Results Both NPs and sMAG showed high photothermal properties. Nevertheless, the higher photothermal response was found for magnetic spheres. Materials of concentration above 10 µg/mL reveal that their activity was comparable to free doxorubicin. It is worth highlighting that a functionalized magnetic sphere with DOXO more strongly affected the HepG2 cells than smaller functionalized nanoparticles with DOXO in the performed chemotherapy. This can be attributed to the larger size of particles and a different method of drug distribution. In the further stage, both materials were assessed in combined chemo- and photothermal therapy (CT-PTT) which revealed that magnetic spheres were also more effective in this modality than smaller nanoparticles. Conclusion Here, we present two types of nanomaterials (nanoparticles and spheres) based on polydopamine and PAMAM dendrimers g.5.0 functionalized with NHS-PEG-Mal linker terminated with folic acid for in vitro hepatocellular carcinoma treatment. The obtained materials can serve as efficient agents for dual chemo- and photothermal therapy of HCC. We also proved that PDA-coated magnetic spheres were more efficient in therapies based on near-infrared irradiation because determined cell viabilities for those materials are lower than for the same concentrations of nanomaterials based on small magnetic nanoparticles.

Abstract
The development of near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing nanoagents for personalized multifunctional phototheranostics has attracted considerable attention in the past decade. Recently, the organic nanomaterials with good biosafety are considered as promising phototheranostic agents, while their facile synthesis remains challenging. Inspired by the preparation of carbon nanodots, we fabricate the NIR-absorbing phthalocyanine-based nanodots (ZnPc-NDs) using a facile method for multifunctional phototheranostics. The significant aggregation of phthalocyanines in nanodots induces a complete fluorescence quenching, which affords a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 45.7%). The ZnPc-NDs disperse very well in water media with an average diameter around 80 nm. Further conjugation of biotin on the surface of ZnPc-NDs affords tumor-targeting phthalocyanine nanodots (ZnPc-BT). The ZnPc-BT are demonstrated with favorable biocompatibility, intense photoacoustic signals, high tumor accumulation, and effective tumor suppression in vivo. This Article provides a new insight for further developing nanomedicines with imaging and therapeutic functions to treat cancers precisely and effectively.

Abstract
Cancer continues to be one of the most challenging diseases to be treated and is one of the leading causes of deaths around the globe. Cancers account for 13% of all deaths each year, with cancer-related mortality expected to rise to 13.1 million by the year 2030. Although, we now have a large library of chemotherapeutic agents, the problem of non-selectivity remains the biggest drawback, as these substances are toxic not only to cancerous cells, but also to other healthy cells in the body. The limitations with chemotherapy and radiation have led to the discovery and development of novel strategies for safe and effective treatment strategies to manage the menace of cancer. Researchers have long justified and have shed light on the emergence of nanotechnology as a potential area for cancer therapy and diagnostics, whereby, nanomaterials are used primarily as nanocarriers or as delivery agents for anticancer drugs due to their tumor targeting properties. Furthermore, nanocarriers loaded with chemotherapeutic agents also overcome biological barriers such as renal and hepatic clearances, thus improving therapeutic efficacy with lowered morbidity. Theranostics, which is the combination of rationally designed nanomaterials with cancer-targeting moieties, along with protective polymers and imaging agents has become one of the core keywords in cancer research. In this review, we have highlighted the potential of various nanomaterials for their application in cancer therapy and imaging, including their current state and clinical prospects. Theranostics has successfully paved a path to a new era of drug design and development, in which nanomaterials and imaging contribute to a large variety of cancer therapies and provide a promising future in the effective management of various cancers. However, in order to meet the therapeutic needs, theranostic nanomaterials must be designed in such a way, that take into account the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties of the drug for the development of effective carcinogenic therapy.

Abstract
Multifunctional iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles, among them nanorods, were prepared with a mussel-inspired polydopamine (pDA) surface coating agent for cancer therapeutics. Taurine, a free sulfur-containing ß amino acid, was grafted on the pDA at the iron oxide nanoparticle surface to enhance its biocompatibility and targeted delivery action. Doxorubicin (DOX), an anticancer drug, was loaded on the prepared nanovehicles with an entrapment efficiency of 70.1%. Drug release kinetics were then analyzed using UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies, suggesting the pH-responsive behavior of the developed nanovehicle. The developed system was then tested on PC-3 cell lines to check its cellular response. Confocal microscopy observations and (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) and Annexin V-FITC assays used to evaluate cell toxicity and apoptosis reveal a dose-dependent nature of nanorods and can overcome the side effects of using free DOX with a targeted action.

Abstract
In this study, we modelled the interaction of Fe13O8 and Fe13O8@Zn48O48 (core@shell) cluster with a biologically active dopamine molecule using density functional theory. First, the electronic, magnetic and optical properties of core@shell, Fe13O8@Zn48O48 cluster investigated and compared with isolated Fe13O8 and Zn48O48 clusters. Fe13O8@Zn48O48 cluster is found to be energetically stable. For Fe13O8 and Fe13O8@Zn48O48 clusters have the net magnetic moment 42 μB. The decrease in HOMO-LUMO gap of core@shell cluster as compared to that of isolated clusters reflects the higher reactivity. The results of the site dependent interaction of Fe13O8 and Fe13O8@Zn48O48 clusters with dopamine molecule are presented. The interaction strength is determined in terms of the cluster-dopamine complex binding energy and found to be enhanced for core@shell cluster than the Fe13O8. Furthermore, the calculated results predict that in presence of dopamine, the magnetic moment of Fe13O8 and Fe13O8@Zn48O48 cluster remains unaffected. The analysis of optical spectra of core@shell indicates the obvious red shift compared to Zn48O48 clusters. The optical spectra of Fe13O8@Zn48O48-dopamine shows the higher oscillator strength as compared to that of Fe13O8-dopamine complex. Fe13O8-dopamine complex gives rise to more quenched oscillator strengths as compared to that of bare iron oxide cluster. These results indicate interesting magneto-optical behaviour, which can be useful for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Photothermal agents can transfer the absorbed light to heat energy, offering a noninvasive and controllable method to kill tumor cells and tissues. Here, we develop a simple and high-output strategy to prepare photothermal nanodots (MnPc-NDs) by the self-assembly and carbonization of manganese phthalocyanine. The aggregation of phthalocyanine molecules in the nanodots induces an efficient photothermal conversion. Thanks to the high thermal stability of phthalocyanine, the macrocycle is well preserved in the core of nanodots under the controlled hydrothermal temperature. Moreover, the as-prepared MnPc-NDs disperse well in aqueous solution with an average nanoscale size around 60 nm. The intense absorption in near-infrared (NIR) region, along with efficient reactive oxygen generation, high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 59.8%), and excellent magnetic resonance contrast performances of MnPc-NDs endow them with great potential for MRI-guided cancer phototherapy. Therefore, the contribution provides a facile way to develop theranostic MnPc-NDs for precise and efficient cancer imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Enhancing the rate of decomposition or removal of organic dye by designing novel nanostructures is a subject of intensive research aimed at improving waste-water treatment in the textile and pharmaceutical industries. Despite radical progress in this challenging area using iron-based nanostructures, enhancing stability and dye adsorption performance is highly desirable. In the present manuscript alkali cations are incorporated into iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) to tailor their structural and magnetic properties and to magnify methyl blue (MB) removal/decomposition capability. The process automatically functionalizes the IONPs without any additional steps. The plausible mechanisms proposed for IONPs incubated in alkali chloride and hydroxide solutions are based on structural investigation and correlated with the removal/adsorption capabilities. The MB adsorption kinetics of the incubated IONPs is elucidated by the pseudo second-order reaction model. Not only are the functional groups of -OH and -Cl attached to the surface of the NPs, the present investigation also reveals that the presence of alkali cations significantly influences the MB adsorption kinetics and correlates with the cation content and atomic polarizability.

Abstract
The development of nanotheranostic agents integrating diagnosis and therapy has gained tremendous attention in the past few decades, but many of them are inherently hydrophobic and need complicated phase-transfer and tedious surface modifications. This work proposed a facile method of transferring hydrophobic Fe3O4@Cu2-xS nanoparticles from oil to water by using red blood cell membrane to create theranostic nanobeads for T2-weighted MRI and second near-infrared photothermal ablation. The obtained nanoplatform, namely SCS@RBCM, showed a core-shell structure with the inner core densely packed with Fe3O4@Cu2-xS nanoclusters and the surface coated with a layer of RBCM. SCS@RBCM displayed a stable nanostructure, high NIR II light absorption and photothermal conversion ability, T2-weighted MR imaging and magnetic field targeting ability. Meanwhile, the RBCM cloaking endowed SCS with reduced elimination by macrophages. With the navigation of an external magnetic field (MF), the tumor accumulation of SCS@RBCM was dramatically increased, thus achieving good performance of MR imaging and antitumor efficacy through the PTT effect under NIR II irradiation. Therefore, our strategy presents a new and desirable paradigm in the phase-transfer of hydrophobic nanotheranostics for optimizing their biomedical performance.

Abstract
An ultra-sensitive T2-weighted MR imaging contrast agent was prepared based on Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Gd3+ ions (Fe3O4@Gd). Amino modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles were conjugated to diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, and finally coordinated with Gd3+ ions. The nanoparticles had a uniform morphology with a size of 100 nm and a Gd/Fe mass ratio of 1/110. The r2 (transverse relaxivity) of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles increased from 131.89 mM−1 s−1 to 202.06 mM−1 s−1 after coordination with Gd3+ ions. MR measurements showed that the aqueous dispersion of Fe3O4@Gd nanoparticles had an obvious concentration-dependent negative contrast enhancement. Hepatoma cells were selected to test the cytotoxicity and MR imaging effect. The application of Fe3O4@Gd nanoparticles as contrast agents was also exploited in vivo for T2-weighted MR imaging of rat livers. All the results showed the effectiveness of the nanoparticles in MR diagnosis. An ultra-sensitive T2-weighted MR imaging contrast agent was prepared based on Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Gd3+ ions (Fe3O4@Gd).![]()

Abstract
The growing concern over the toxicity of Gd-based contrast agents used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) motivates the search for less toxic and more effective alternatives. Among these alternatives, iron-iron oxide (Fe@FeOx) core-shell architectures have been long recognized as promising MRI contrast agents while limited information on their engineering is available. Here we report the synthesis of 10 nm large Fe@FeOx nanoparticles, their coating with a 11 nm thick layer of dense silica and functionalization by 5 kDa PEG chains to improve their biocompatibility. The nanomaterials obtained have been characterized by a set of complementary techniques such as infra-red and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering and zetametry, and magnetometry. They display hydrodynamic diameters in the 100 nm range, zetapotential values around -30 mV, and magnetization values higher than the reference contrast agent RESOVIST®. They display no cytotoxicity against 1BR3G and HCT116 cell lines and no hemolytic activity against human red blood cells. Their nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles are typical for nanomaterials of this size and magnetization. They display high r2 relaxivity values and low r1 leading to enhanced r2/r1 ratios in comparison with RESOVIST®. All these data make them promising contrast agents to detect early stage tumors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To date, numerous iron-based nanostructures have been designed for cancer therapy applications. Although some of them were promising for clinical applications, few efforts have been made to maximize the therapeutic index of these carriers. Herein, PEGylated silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (PS-IONs) were introduced as multipurpose stimuli-responsive co-delivery nanocarriers for a combination of dual-drug chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. METHODS Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via the sonochemical method and coated by a thin layer of silica. The nanostructures were then further modified with a layer of di-carboxylate polyethylene glycol (6 kDa) and carboxylate-methoxy polyethylene glycol (6 kDa) to improve their stability, biocompatibility, and drug loading capability. Doxorubicin (DOX) and cisplatin (CDDP) were loaded on the PS-IONs through the interactions between the drug molecules and polyethylene glycol. RESULTS The PS-IONs demonstrated excellent cellular uptake, cytocompatibility, and hemocompatibility at the practical dosage. Furthermore, in addition to being an appropriate MRI agent, PS-IONs demonstrated superb photothermal property in 0.5 W/cm2 of 808 nm laser irradiation. The release of both drugs was effectively triggered by pH and NIR irradiation. As a result of the intracellular combination chemotherapy and 10 min of safe power laser irradiation, the highest cytotoxicity for iron-based nanocarriers (97.3±0.8%) was achieved. CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate the great potential of PS-IONs as a multifunctional targeted co-delivery system for cancer theranostic application and the advantage of employing proper combination therapy for cancer eradication.

Abstract
This report introduces both synthesis and in vitro biological behaviour of dual magnetic-fluorescent silica nanoparticles. The amino group-decoration of 78 nm sized silica nanoparticles enables their efficient internalization into motoneurons, which is visualized by the red fluorescence arising from [Ru(dipy)3]2+ complexes encapsulated into a silica matrix. The internalized nanoparticles are predominantly located in the cell cytoplasm as revealed by confocal microscopy imaging. The magnetic function of the nanoparticles resulted from the incorporation of 17 nm sized superparamagnetic iron oxide cores into the silica matrix, enabling their responsivity to magnetic fields. Fluorescence analysis revealed the "on-off" switching of Ca2+ influx under the application and further removal of the permanent magnetic field. This result for the first time highlights the movement of the nanoparticles within the cell cytoplasm in the permanent magnetic field as a promising tool to enhance the neuronal activity of motoneurons.

Abstract
As a mussel-inspired material, polydopamine (PDA), possesses many properties, such as a simple preparation process, good biocompatibility, strong adhesive property, easy functionalization, outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency, and strong quenching effect. PDA has attracted increasingly considerable attention because it provides a simple and versatile approach to functionalize material surfaces for obtaining a variety of multifunctional nanomaterials. In this review, recent significant research developments of PDA including its synthesis and polymerization mechanism, physicochemical properties, different nano/microstructures, and diverse applications are summarized and discussed. For the sections of its applications in surface modification and biomedicine, we mainly highlight the achievements in the past few years (2016-2019). The remaining challenges and future perspectives of PDA-based nanoplatforms are discussed rationally at the end. This timely and overall review should be desirable for a wide range of scientists and facilitate further development of surface coating methods and the production of PDA-based materials.

J Control Release 2019; 309:203-219. [PMID: 31362077 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2019.07.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 89] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2019] [Revised: 07/24/2019] [Accepted: 07/25/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Nanocarriers sensitive to near infrared light (NIR) are useful templates for chemo-photothermal therapy (PTT) and imaging of tumors due to the ability to change the absorbed NIR energy to heat. The conventional photo-absorbing reagents lack the efficient loading and release of drug before reaching the target site leading to insufficient therapeutic outcomes. To overcome these limitations, the surface of nanocarriers can be modified with different polymers with wide functionalities to provide systems with diagnostic, therapeutic, and theranostic capabilities. Among various polymers, polydopamine (PDA) has been more interested due to complex structure with various chemical moieties, and the capacity to be used through different coating mechanism. In this review, we describe the complex structure, chemical properties, and coating mechanisms of PDA. Moreover, the advantage and surface modification of some relevant nanosystems based on carbon materials, gold, iron oxide, manganese, and upconverting nanomaterials by using PDA will be discussed, in detail.

Abstract
The growing incidence of cancer is a problem for modern medicine, since the therapeutic efficacy of applied modalities is still not satisfactory in terms of patients' survival rates, especially in the case of patients with brain tumors. The destructive influence of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on healthy cells reduces the chances of full recovery. With the development of nanotechnology, new ideas on cancer therapy, including brain tumors, have emerged. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is one of these. It utilizes nanoparticles (NPs) that can convert the light, preferably in the near-infrared (NIR) region, into heat. In this paper, we report the use of nanodiamonds (NDs) conjugated with biomimetic polydopamine (PDA) and indocyanine green (ICG) for glioblastoma cancer PTT therapy. The obtained materials were thoroughly analyzed in terms of their PTT effectiveness, as well as their physicochemical properties. The performed research demonstrated that NDs@PDA@ICG can be successfully applied in the photothermal therapy of glioblastoma for PTT and exhibited high photothermal conversion efficiency η above 40%, which is almost 10 times higher than in case of bare NDs. In regard to our results, our material was found to lead to a better therapeutic outcome and higher eradication of glioblastoma cells, as demonstrated in vitro.

Abstract
Many different iron oxide nanoparticles have been evaluated over the years, for a wide variety of biomedical applications. We here summarize the synthesis, surface functionalization and characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles, as well as their (pre-) clinical use in diagnostic, therapeutic and theranostic settings. Diagnostic applications include liver, lymph node, inflammation and vascular imaging, employing mostly magnetic resonance imaging but recently also magnetic particle imaging. Therapeutic applications encompass iron supplementation in anemia and advanced cancer treatments, such as modulation of macrophage polarization, magnetic fluid hyperthermia and magnetic drug targeting. Because of their properties, iron oxide nanoparticles are particularly useful for theranostic purposes. Examples of such setups, in which diagnosis and therapy are intimately combined and in which iron oxide nanoparticles are used, are image-guided drug delivery, image-guided and microbubble-mediated opening of the blood-brain barrier, and theranostic tissue engineering. Together, these directions highlight the versatility and the broad applicability of iron oxide nanoparticles, and indicate the integration in future medical practice of multiple iron oxide nanoparticle-based materials.

Abstract
Current approaches for the treatment of cancer, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and surgery, are limited by various factors, such as inadvertent necrosis of healthy cells, immunological destruction, or secondary cancer development. Hyperthermic therapy is a promising strategy intended to mitigate many of the shortcomings associated with traditional therapeutic approaches. However, to utilize this approach effectively, it must be targeted to specific tumor sites to prevent adverse side effects. In this regard, photothermal therapy, using intravenously-administered nanoparticle materials capable of eliciting hyperthermic effects in combination with the precise application of light in the near-infrared spectrum, has shown promise. Many different materials have been proposed, including various inorganic materials such as Au, Ag, and Germanium, and C-based materials. Unfortunately, these materials are limited by concerns about accumulation and potential cytotoxicity. Polymer-based nanoparticle systems have been investigated to overcome limitations associated with traditional inorganic nanoparticle systems. Some of the materials that have been investigated for this purpose include polypyrrole, poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), polydopamine, and polyaniline. The purpose of this review is to summarize these contemporary polymer-based nanoparticle technologies to acquire an understanding of their current applications and explore the potential for future improvements.
