Abstract
Background: Studies on the anticancer effects of lanthanum strontium manganese oxide (LSMO) nanoparticles (NPs)-mediated hyperthermia at cellular and molecular levels are scarce. Materials & methods: LSMO NPs conjugated with folic acid (Fol-LSMO NPs) were synthesized, followed by doxorubicin-loading (DoxFol-LSMO NPs), and their effects on breast cancer cells were investigated. Results: Hyperthermia (45°C) and combination treatments exhibited the highest (∼95%) anticancer activity with increased oxidative stress. The involvement of intrinsic mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway and induction of autophagy was noted. Cellular and molecular evidence confirmed the crosstalk between apoptosis and autophagy, involving Beclin1, Bcl2 and Caspase-3 genes with free reactive oxygen species presence. Conclusion: The study confirmed hyperthermia and doxorubicin release by Fol-LSMO NPs induces apoptosis and autophagy in breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) gained significant attention, particularly in the pharmaceutical field. Folic acid (FA) shows marked promise as a targeting agent for its specific interaction with the folate receptor. This receptor is over-expressed on the cell surface of several cancerous cells like breast cancer. Polyethylene glycol (PE), as well as polypropylene glycol (PEG), is used to decorate nanoparticles to improve their biodistribution. Moreover, carboxymethyl beta-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD), is used as a complexation molecule. In this study, we described the chemical synthesis, in vitro drug release and antiproliferative activity of doxorubicin-loaded/decorated MSNs further coupled with FA in two conditions: chemically bound or as a complex with CM-β-CD. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy with Transmission Electron Microscopy confirmed the successful surface change. Dynamic Light Scattering confirmed the change in surface characters like zeta potential, polydispersity index (PI), and size. PI improved from 0.58 to 0.23 while the size enlarged from 200 to 348 and 532 nm. Functionalized nanoparticles demonstrated more significant drug entrapment with (97%) while undecorated MSNs only showed (63%). Accordingly, we effectively synthesized FA-PEG2000-MSNs with IC50: 0.015 mg/mL targeting HeLa cells. This approach may allow potential applications as a drug delivery system in cancer chemotherapy.HighlightsMesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with a carboxylic acid or amine surface group can be successfully decorated with long-chain hydrophilic polymer via an amide bond.Carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin coupled with long-chain polymer as host to form a complex with targeting molecule folic acid.Folic acid can be anchored directly to a polymer coat.TEM; DLS and FTIR confirmed the surface modification.The drug encapsulation efficiency; cytotoxicity and selectivity of functionalized nanoparticles with PEG and conjugated with FA were the best.Chemical modification has improved cytotoxicity of doxorubicin and selectivity against Hela cells.

Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is one of the most frequently used polymers for coating nanocarriers to enhance their biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, stability, and biodegradability. PEG is now considered to be among the best biocompatible polymers. It offers sterical hindrance against other nanoparticles and blood components such as opsonin, preventing their macrophage phagocytosis and resulting in a prolonged circulation time in blood stream, consequently a ‘stealth character’ in vivo. Therefore, PEG has a very promising future for the development of current therapeutics and biomedical applications. Moreover, the vast number of molecules that PEG can conjugate with might enhance its ability to have an optimistic perspective for the future. This review will present an update on the chemistry used in the modern conjugation methods for a variety of PEG conjugates, such methods include, but are not limited to, the synthesis of targeting PEG conjugates (i.e., Peptides, Folate, Biotin, Mannose etc.), imaging PEG conjugates (i.e., Coumarin, Near Infrared dyes etc.) and delivery PEG conjugates (i.e., doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and other hydrophobic low molecular weight drugs). Furthermore, the type of nanoparticles carrying those conjugates, along with their biomedical uses, will be briefly discussed.

Abstract
Conventional cancer treatment techniques show several limitations including low or no specificity and consequently a low efficacy in discriminating between cancer cells and healthy cells. Recent nanotechnology developments have introduced smart and novel therapeutic nanomaterials that take advantage of various targeting approaches. The use of nanotechnology in medicine and, more specifically, drug delivery is set to spread even more rapidly than it has over the past two decades. Currently, many nanoparticles (NPs) are under investigation for drug delivery including those for cancer therapy. Targeted nanomaterials bind selectively to cancer cells and greatly affect them with only a minor effect on healthy cells. Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs), specifically, have been identified as significant candidates for new cancer therapeutic modalities because of their biocompatibility, easy functionalization and fabrication, optical tunable characteristics, and chemophysical stability. In the last decade, there has been significant research on Au-NPs and their biomedical applications. Functionalized Au-NPs represent highly attractive and promising candidates for drug delivery, owing to their unique dimensions, tunable surface functionalities, and controllable drug release. Further, iron oxide NPs due to their "superparamagnetic" properties have been studied and have demonstrated successful employment in numerous applications. In targeted drug delivery systems, drug-loaded iron oxide NPs can accumulate at the tumor site with the aid of an external magnetic field. This can lead to incremental effectiveness in drug release to the tumor site and vanquish cancer cells without harming healthy cells. In order for the application of iron oxide NPs in the human body to be realized, they should be biodegradable and biocompatible to minimize toxicity. This review illustrates recent advances in the field drug and small molecule delivery such as fluorouracil, folic acid, doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and daunorubicin, specifically when using gold and iron oxide NPs as carriers of anticancer therapeutic agents.
