A combination of chitosan nanoparticles loaded with celecoxib and kartogenin has anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effects: Results from an in vitro model of osteoarthritis. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31058. [PMID: 38803939 PMCID: PMC11128867 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Loading drugs in drug delivery systems can increase their retention time and control their release within the knee cavity. Hence, we aimed to improve the therapeutic efficacy of celecoxib and kartogenin (KGN) through their loading in chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs). Celecoxib-loaded nanoparticles (CNPs) and KGN-loaded nanoparticles (K-CS NPs) were prepared using the absorption method and covalent attachment, respectively, through an ionic gelation process. The morphology, particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI), conjugation efficiency (CE), encapsulation efficiency (EE), the in vitro release of the drug from NPs, as well as MTT and hemolysis assays, were evaluated. Then, the IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes were treated with CNPs and K-CS NPs, individually or in combination, to explore their potential chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. CNPs and K-CS NPs showed sizes of 352.6 ± 22.5 and 232.7 ± 4.5 nm, respectively, suitable for intra-articular (IA) injection. Based on the hemolysis results, both NPs exhibited good hemocompatibility within the studied range. Results showed that treating IL-1β-pretreated chondrocytes with CNPs or K-CS NPs remarkably limited the negative effects of IL-1β, especially when both types of NPs were used together. Therefore, injecting these two NPs into the knee cavity may improve drug bioavailability, rapidly suppress inflammation and pain, and promote cartilage regeneration. Meanwhile, for the first time, the study investigated the effect of the simultaneous use of celecoxib and KGN to treat osteoarthritis (OA).

Abstract
Given the unique physiological and pathological characteristics of the lung, the direct, inhalable route is more conducive to pulmonary drug delivery and disease control than traditional systemic drug delivery, significantly circumventing drug loss, off-target effects, systemic and organ toxicity, etc., and is widely regarded as the preferred regimen for pulmonary drug delivery. However, very few lung diseases are currently treated with the preferred inhaled formulations, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary hypertension. And there is a lack of appropriate inhaled formulations for other critical lung diseases, such as lung cancer and pulmonary fibrosis, due to the fact that the physicochemical properties of the drugs and their pharmacokinetic profiles do not match the physiology of the lung, and conventional inhalation devices are unable to deliver them to the specific parts of the lung. Phytochemicals of natural origin, due to their wide availability and clear safety profile, hold great promise for the preparation of inhalable formulations to improve the current dilemma in the treatment of lung diseases. In particular, the preparation of inhalable formulations based on nano- and microparticulate carriers for drug delivery to deep lung tissues, which overcome the shortcomings of conventional inhalation therapies while targeting the drug activity directly to a specific part of the lung, may be the best approach to change the current dilemma of lung disease treatment. In this review, we discuss recent advances in nano- and micron-carrier-based inhalation formulations for the delivery of natural products for the treatment of pulmonary diseases, which may represent an opportunity for practical clinical translation of natural products.

Abstract
Every sixth person in the world dies due to cancer, making it the second leading severe cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. According to WHO, cancer claimed nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. The most common types of cancers reported have been breast (lung, colon and rectum, prostate cases), skin (non-melanoma) and stomach. In addition to surgery, the most widely used traditional types of anti-cancer treatment are radio- and chemotherapy. However, these do not distinguish between normal and malignant cells. Additional treatment methods have evolved over time for early detection and targeted therapy of cancer. However, each method has its limitations and the associated treatment costs are quite high with adverse effects on the quality of life of patients. Use of individual atoms or a cluster of atoms (nanoparticles) can cause a paradigm shift by virtue of providing point of sight sensing and diagnosis of cancer. Nanoparticles (1-100 nm in size) are 1000 times smaller in size than the human cell and endowed with safer relocation capability to attack mechanically and chemically at a precise location which is one avenue that can be used to destroy cancer cells precisely. This review summarises the extant understanding and the work done in this area to pave the way for physicians to accelerate the use of hybrid mode of treatments by leveraging the use of various nanoparticles.

Abstract
Dual-drug delivery systems for anticancer therapy have recently attracted substantial attention due to their potency to overcome limitations of conventional anti-cancer drugs, tackle drug resistance problems, as well as improve the therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we introduced a novel nanogel based on folic acid-gelatin-pluronic P123 (FA-GP-P123) conjugate to simultaneously deliver quercetin (QU) and paclitaxel (PTX) to the targeted tumor. The results indicated that the drug loading capacity of FA-GP-P123 nanogels was significantly higher than that of P123 micelles. The kinetic release profiles of QU and PTX from the nanocarriers were governed by Fickian diffusion and swelling behavior, respectively. Notably, FA-GP-P123/QU/PTX dual-drug delivery system induced higher toxicity to MCF-7 and Hela cancer cells than either QU or PTX individual delivery system, and the non-targeted dug delivery system (GP-P123/QU/PTX), indicating the synergistic combination of dual drugs and FA positive targeting effect. Furthermore, FA-GP-P123 could effectively deliver QU and PTX to tumors in vivo after administration into MCF-7 tumor-bearing mice, which resulted in 94.20 ± 5.90 % of tumor volume reduced at day 14. Moreover, the side effects of the dual-drug delivery system were significantly reduced. Overall, we suggest FA-GP-P123 as potential nanocarrier for dual-drug delivery for targeted chemotherapy.

Abstract
Temperature-sensitive drug delivery systems (TSDDS) are one of the systems that have received more attention in medical science these days due to their advantages. As these systems are sensitive to temperature, drug delivery to the target becomes more specific. Temperature-sensitive nanogels have many applications, including microbial infections, cancer therapy, transdermal use and tissue repair. These systems are characterized by minimal toxicity, improved therapeutic efficacy and reduced exposure to normal cells. This mini-review is prepared with different types of temperature-sensitive nanogel formation, release mechanisms, and their different applications. Various systems reported under these categories for targeted and controlled delivery of different classes of drugs, such as anti-cancer and antibiotic drugs with special emphasis on anti-cancer drugs and tissue healing, are discussed in this mini-review.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death, and latest predictions indicate that cancer- related deaths will increase over the next few decades. Despite significant advances in conventional therapies, treatments remain far from ideal due to limitations such as lack of selectivity, non-specific distribution, and multidrug resistance. Current research is focusing on the development of several strategies to improve the efficiency of chemotherapeutic agents and, as a result, overcome the challenges associated with conventional therapies. In this regard, combined therapy with natural compounds and other therapeutic agents, such as chemotherapeutics or nucleic acids, has recently emerged as a new strategy for tackling the drawbacks of conventional therapies. Taking this strategy into consideration, the co-delivery of the above-mentioned agents in lipid-based nanocarriers provides some advantages by improving the potential of the therapeutic agents carried. In this review, we present an analysis of the synergistic anticancer outcomes resulting from the combination of natural compounds and chemotherapeutics or nucleic acids. We also emphasize the importance of these co-delivery strategies when reducing multidrug resistance and adverse toxic effects. Furthermore, the review delves into the challenges and opportunities surrounding the application of these co-delivery strategies towards tangible clinical translation for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer death, and the 5 year survival rate is only 4%. Chemotherapy is the treatment option for the majority of PC patients diagnosed at an advanced stage, whereas the desmoplastic stroma of PC could block the perfusion of chemotherapeutic agents to tumor tissues and contribute generally to chemoresistance. Therefore, the clinical status of PC calls for an urgent exploration in the effective treatment strategy. Chemo-phototherapy is an emerging modality against malignant tumors, but owing to the low targeting ability of theranostic agents or unspecific accumulation in the tumor region, majority of chemo-phototherapy techniques have disappointing therapeutic efficiencies. Herein, we have explored CD71-specific targeting aptamers and paclitaxel (PTX)-modified polydopamine (PDA) nanospheres with the conjugation of peptidomimetic AV3 (termed Apt-PDA@PTX/AV3 bioconjugates) to specifically target and combat PC in vivo by synergistic chemo-phototherapy. After the delivery of nanotheranostic agents to the tumor microenvironment (TME) or subsequent endocytic uptake by PC cells, a simultaneous release of AV3 and PTX from Apt-PDA@PTX/AV3 bioconjugates via near-infrared (NIR) irradiation can decrease desmoplastic stroma to enhance tumor perfusion and tumor-killing effects. Meanwhile, PDA cores utilize NIR laser to create unendurable hyperthermia within TME to "cook" tumors. Taken together, the current study finally suggests that our Apt-PDA@PTX/AV3 bioconjugates could act as a novel therapeutic approach by synergistic chemo-phototherapy for the programmable inhibition of PC.

Abstract
Chemotherapy drugs have been used for a long time in the treatment of cancer, but serious side effects are caused by the inability of the drug to be solely delivered to the tumor when treating cancer with chemotherapy. Natural products have attracted more and more attention due to the antitumor effect in multiple ways, abundant resources and less side effects. Therefore, the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs may be an effective antitumor strategy, which can inhibit the growth of tumor and multidrug resistance, reduce side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Nano-drug co-delivery system (NDCDS) can play an important role in the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the research status and application prospect of nano-delivery strategies for the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs, aiming to provide a basis for the development of anti-tumor drugs.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is the first choice for the treatment of cancer but it is still limited by insufficient kill efficiency and drug resistance. These problems urgently need to be overcome in a way that minimizes damage to the body. In this study, we designed the nanocomposite microparticles (NMPs) modified by cetuximab (Cet) and loaded anti-tumor agents- quercetin (QUE) and paclitaxel (PTX)- for eliciting specific drugs homing and enhancing the killing efficiency of chemotherapy drugs (P/Q@CNMPs). Physicochemical characteristics results presented that P/Q@CNMPs have a suitable aerodynamic diameter and uniform morphology that could meet the requirements of particles deposition in the lung. And it also had the characteristics of sustained-release and pH-responsive which could release the agents in the right place and has a continuous effect. In vitro and in vivo analysis results presented that P/Q@CNMPs have the accuracy targeting ability and killing effect on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which express positive epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on the membrane. Furthermore, this system also has low toxicity and good biocompatibility. These results demonstrated that P/Q@CNMPs could be a potential intelligent targeting strategy used for chemo-resistant NSCLC therapies.

Abstract
Flavonoids represent a major group of polyphenolic compounds. Their capacity to inhibit tumor proliferation, cell cycle, angiogenesis, migration and invasion is substantially responsible for their chemotherapeutic activity against lung cancer. However, their clinical application is limited due to poor aqueous solubility, low permeability and quick blood clearance, which leads to their low bioavailability. Nanoengineered systems such as liposomes, nanoparticles, micelles, dendrimers and nanotubes can considerably enhance the targeted action of the flavonoids with improved efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties, and flavonoids can be successfully translated from bench to bedside through various nanoengineering approaches. This review addresses the therapeutic potential of various flavonoids and highlights the cutting-edge progress in the nanoengineered systems that incorporate flavonoids for treating lung cancer.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics is the combination of diagnosis and therapeutic approaches for cancer, which is essential in personalized cancer treatment. The aims of the theranostics application of nanoparticles in cancer detection and therapy are to reduce delays in treatment and hence improve patient care. Recently, it has been found that the functionalization of nanoparticles can improve the efficiency, performance, specificity and sensitivity of the structure, and increase stability in the body and acidic environment. Moreover, functionalized nanoparticles have been found to possess a remarkable theranostic ability and have revolutionized cancer treatment. Each cancer treatment modality, such as MRI-guided gene therapy, MRI-guided thermal therapy, magnetic hyperthermia treatment, MRI-guided chemotherapy, immunotherapy, photothermal and photodynamic therapy, has its strengths and weaknesses, and combining modalities allows for a better platform for improved cancer control. This is why cancer theranostics have been investigated thoroughly in recent years and enabled by functionalized nanoparticles. In this topical review, we look at the recent advances in cancer theranostics using functionalized nanoparticles. Through understanding and updating the development of nanoparticle-based cancer theranostics, we find out the future challenges and perspectives in this novel type of cancer treatment.

Abstract
Tumor-associated antigen mucin 1 (MUC1) is highly expressed in colorectal cancer and is positively correlated with advanced stage at diagnosis and poor patient outcomes. The combination of irinotecan and capecitabine is standard chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer and is known as XELIRI or CAPIRI, which significantly prolongs the progression-free survival and overall survival of colorectal cancer patients compared to a single drug alone. We previously reported that peanut agglutinin (PNA)-conjugated liposomes showed enhanced drug delivery efficiency to MUC1-positive liver cancer cells. In this study, we prepared irinotecan hydrochloride (IRI) and capecitabine (CAP)-coloaded liposomes modified by peanut agglutinin (IRI/CAP-PNA-Lips) to target MUC1-positive colorectal cancer. The results showed that IRI/CAP-PNA-Lips showed an enhanced ability to target MUC1-positive colorectal cancer cells compared to unmodified liposomes. Treatment with IRI/CAP-PNA-Lips also increased the proportion of apoptotic cells and inhibited the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells. The targeting specificity for tumor cells and the antitumor effects of PNA-modified liposomes were significantly increased in tumor-bearing mice with no severe cytotoxicity to normal tissues. These results suggest that PNA-modified liposomes could provide a new delivery strategy for the synergistic treatment of colorectal cancer with clinical chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer and this study aimed to develop a conatumumab decorated, irinotecan prodrug and quercetin co-loaded delivery system for combined and targeted colorectal cancer treatment. METHODS A conatumumab (C) decorated, irinotecan prodrug (I-p) and quercetin (Q) co-encapsulated NLC (C I-p/Q NLC) was developed. In vitro and in vivo antitumor efficiency of NLC was evaluated on CRC cells and mice xenograft. RESULTS The results showed that the HT-29 cells uptake of C I-p/Q NLC was over 70%. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) sensitive irinotecan prodrug formulation showed improved drug release ability in hypoxic conditions. C I-p/Q NLC showed significantly higher cytotoxicity than non-decorated NLC, single drug-loaded NLC and free drugs. In vivo studies in a CRC-bearing model corroborated the capability of nanoparticles for the inhibition of cancer, leading to a reduction of tumor growth without systemic toxicity. CONCLUSION The conatumumab decorated, ROS sensitive prodrug contained combination nano-system is a promising platform for CRC therapy.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated two formulations of chitosan-Pluronic P123 with different folate ligand designation for targeted delivery of Paclitaxel (PTX), in which folic acid (FA) was directly conjugated to chitosan (FA-Cs-P123) or substituted onto P123 (Cs-P123-FA). The results showed that the FA content of Cs-P123-FA was determined at 0.71 wt/wt% which was significantly higher than that of FA-Cs-P123 (0.31 wt/wt%). Two copolymers were low critical gel concentrations (CGC). FA-Cs-P123 and Cs-P123-FA nanogels performed high PTX encapsulation efficiency reaching 95.57 ± 5.51 and 92.51 ± 6.68 wt/wt%, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and zeta potential analysis indicated that the PTX-loaded nanogels were spherically formed around 60 nm in diameter along with positive charge. Furthermore, the PTX release profile was slow and it was controlled by the pH of the medium. In particular, in vitro biocompatibility assays indicated that both FA-Cs-P123 and Cs-P123-FA exhibited good biological compatibility with a human foreskin fibroblast cell line and well uptake efficiency into MCF-7 cancer cells. Cs-P123-FA nanogel significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of PTX in comparison with FA-Cs-P123. The result indicates that Cs-P123-FA nanogels with a higher decorated FA content perform a better targeting efficiency; therefore, they could have great potential application towards breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Chronic pulmonary diseases encompass different persistent and lethal diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cystic fibrosis (CF), asthma, and lung cancers that affect millions of people globally. Traditional pharmacotherapeutic treatment approaches (i.e., bronchodilators, corticosteroids, chemotherapeutics, peptide-based agents, etc.) are not satisfactory to cure or impede diseases. With the advent of nanotechnology, drug delivery to an intended site is still difficult, but the nanoparticle's physicochemical properties can accomplish targeted therapeutic delivery. Based on their surface, size, density, and physical-chemical properties, nanoparticles have demonstrated enhanced pharmacokinetics of actives, achieving the spotlight in the drug delivery research field. In this review, the authors have highlighted different nanoparticle-based therapeutic delivery approaches to treat chronic pulmonary diseases along with the preparation techniques. The authors have remarked the nanosuspension delivery via nebulization and dry powder carrier is further effective in the lung delivery system since the particles released from these systems are innumerable to composite nanoparticles. The authors have also outlined the inhaled particle's toxicity, patented nanoparticle-based pulmonary formulations, and commercial pulmonary drug delivery devices (PDD) in other sections. Recently advanced formulations employing nanoparticles as therapeutic carriers for the efficient treatment of chronic pulmonary diseases are also canvassed.

Abstract
Quercetin (QUR) have got the attention of scientific society frequently due to their wide range of potential applications. QUR has been the focal point for research in various fields, especially in food development. But, the QUR is highly unstable and can be interrupted by using conventional assessment methods. Therefore, researchers are focusing on novel extraction and non-invasive tools for the non-destructive assessment of QUR. The current review elaborates the different novel extraction (ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and enzyme-assisted extraction) and non-destructive assessment techniques (fluorescence spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, near-infrared spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, Raman spectroscopy, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) for the extraction and identification of QUR in agricultural products. The novel extraction approaches facilitate shorter extraction time, involve less organic solvent, and are environmentally friendly. While the non-destructive techniques are non-interruptive, label-free, reliable, accurate, and environmental friendly. The non-invasive spectroscopic and imaging methods are suitable for the sensitive detection of bioactive compounds than conventional techniques. QUR has potential therapeutic properties such as anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, antiallergic, antineoplastic agent, neuroprotector, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities. Besides, due to the low bioavailability of QUR innovative drug delivery strategies (QUR loaded gel, QUR polymeric micelle, QUR nanoparticles, glucan-QUR conjugate, and QUR loaded mucoadhesive nanoemulsions) have been proposed to improve its bioavailability and providing novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Pulmonary administration route has been extensively exploited for the treatment of local lung diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and respiratory infections, and systemic diseases such as diabetes. Most inhaled medicines could be cleared rapidly from the lungs and their therapeutic effects are transit. The inhaled medicines with extended pulmonary exposure may not only improve the patient compliance by reducing the frequency of drug administration, but also enhance the clinical benefits to the patients with improved therapeutic outcomes. This article systematically reviews the physical and chemical strategies to extend the pulmonary exposure of the inhaled medicines. It starts with an introduction of various physiological and pathophysiological barriers for designing inhaled medicines with extended lung exposure, which is followed by recent advances in various strategies to overcome these barriers. Finally, the applications of the inhaled medicines with extended lung exposure for the treatment of various diseases and the safety concerns associated to various strategies to extend the pulmonary exposure of the inhaled medicines are summarized.

Abstract
Resveratrol and quercetin are natural compounds contained in many foods and beverages. Reports indicate implications for the health of the general population; on the other hand the use of both compounds has interesting results for the treatment of many diseases as cardiovascular affections, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, viral and bacterial infections among others. Based on their capacities described as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aging, resveratrol and quercetin showed antiproliferative and anticancer activity specifically in maligned cells. These molecular characteristics trigger the pharmacological repurposing of both compounds and improved its research for treating different cancer types with interesting results at in vitro, in vivo, and clinical trial studies. Meanwhile, the development of different systems of drug release in specific sites as nanomaterials and specifically the nanoparticles, potentiates the personal treatment perspective in conjunct with the actual cancer therapies; regularly invasive and aggressive, the perspective of nanomedicine as higher effective and lower invasive has gained popularity. Knowledge of molecular interactions of resveratrol and quercetin in diseases confirms the evidence of multiple benefits, while the multiple analyses suggested a positive response for the treatment and diagnostics of cancer in different stages, including at metastatic stage. The present work reviews the reports related to the impact of resveratrol and quercetin in cancer treatment and its effects when the antioxidants are encapsulated in different nanoparticle systems, which improve the prospects of cancer treatment.

Abstract
Respiratory disorders are among the most important medical problems threatening human life. The conventional therapeutics for respiratory disorders are hindered by insufficient drug concentrations at pathological lesions, lack of cell-specific targeting, and various biobarriers in the conducting airways and alveoli. To address these critical issues, various nanoparticle delivery systems have been developed to serve as carriers of specific drugs, DNA expression vectors, and RNAs. The unique properties of nanoparticles, including controlled size and distribution, surface functional groups, high payload capacity, and drug release triggering capabilities, are tailored to specific requirements in drug/gene delivery to overcome major delivery barriers in pulmonary diseases. To avoid off-target effects and improve therapeutic efficacy, nanoparticles with high cell-targeting specificity are essential for successful nanoparticle therapies. Furthermore, low toxicity and high degradability of the nanoparticles are among the most important requirements in the nanoparticle designs. In this review, we provide the most up-to-date research and clinical outcomes in nanoparticle therapies for pulmonary diseases. We also address the current critical issues in key areas of pulmonary cell targeting, biosafety and compatibility, and molecular mechanisms for selective cellular uptake.

Abstract
The marine environment is an enormous source of marine-derived natural products (MNPs), and future investigation into anticancer drug discovery. Current progress in anticancer drugs offers a rise in isolation and clinical validation of numerous innovative developments and advances in anticancer therapy. However, only a limited number of FDA-approved marine-derived anticancer drugs are available due to several challenges and limitations highlighted here. The use of chitosan in developing marine-derived drugs is promising in the nanotech sector projected for a prolific anticancer drug delivery system (DDS). The cGAS-STING-mediated immune signaling pathway is crucial, which has not been significantly investigated in anticancer therapy and needs further attention. Additionally, a small range of anticancer mediators is currently involved in regulating various JAK/STAT signaling pathways, such as immunity, cell death, and tumor formation. This review addressed critical features associated with MNPs, origin, and development of anticancer drugs. Moreover, recent advances in the nanotech delivery of anticancer drugs and understanding into cancer immunity are detailed for improved human health.

A review on chitosan and its development as pulmonary particulate anti-infective and anti-cancer drug carriers. Carbohydr Polym 2020; 250:116800. [PMID: 33049807 PMCID: PMC7434482 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2020.116800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2020] [Revised: 07/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Chitosan, as a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer, is characterized by anti-microbial and anti-cancer properties. It lately has received a widespread interest for use as the pulmonary particulate backbone materials of drug carrier for the treatment of infectious disease and cancer. The success of chitosan as pulmonary particulate drug carrier is a critical interplay of their mucoadhesive, permeation enhancement and site/cell-specific attributes. In the case of nanocarriers, various microencapsulation and micro-nano blending systems have been devised to equip them with an appropriate aerodynamic character to enable efficient pulmonary aerosolization and inhalation. The late COVID-19 infection is met with acute respiratory distress syndrome and cancer. Chitosan and its derivatives are found useful in combating HCoV and cancer as a function of their molecular weight, substituent type and its degree of substitution. The interest in chitosan is expected to rise in the next decade from the perspectives of drug delivery in combination with its therapeutic performance.

Abstract
As a major therapeutic approach for cancer treatment, the effectiveness of chemotherapy is challenged by multidrug resistance (MDR). Herein, we fabricated novel redox-responsive, chondroitin sulfate-based nanoparticles that could simultaneously deliver quercetin (chemosensitizer), chlorin e6 (photosensitizer) and paclitaxel (chemotherapeutic agent) to exert enhanced chemo-photodynamic therapy for overcoming MDR and lung metastasis of breast cancer. In vitro cell study showed that nanoparticles down-regulated the expression of P-glycolprotein (P-gp) on MCF-7/ADR cells and thereby improved the anticancer efficacy of PTX against MCF-7/ADR cells. Moreover, NIR laser irradiation could induce nanoparticles to generate cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to mitochondrial membrane potential loss, and meanwhile facilitating lysosomal escape of drugs. Importantly, the novel nanoplatform exhibited effective in vivo MDR inhibition and anti-metastasis efficacy through enhanced chemo-photodynamic therapy. Thus, the study suggested that the multifunctional nanoplatform had good application prospect for effective breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Natural bioflavonoids are an essential component of dietary supplements possessing antimicrobial properties. Many of the bioflavonoids have resulted in positive antitumor, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory properties, but the efficacy remains low due to toxicity at the molecular level whereas antiviral property limits to negative. The synergistic link between nanoscience and flavonoid chemistry enhances the epidemiological properties of flavonoid and also diminish the antimicrobial resistivity (AMR) by forming their hybrid nanocomposites. Nanochemistry uses various nanocomposite and nanomaterials for biosensing the flavonoids and their delivery as a drug. The quercetin flavonoid and its derivatives such as rutin, and myricetin are used for sensing and drug delivery. Quercetin with 15Carbon-5Hydroxyl chemical scaffold has been explored for a few decades for the development of hybrid nanocomposite and nanomaterial with metallic as well as organic nano co-composites. This quercetin flavonoid based hybrid nanocomposites seemed to show a significant effect on In vitro and some animal model processes along with attenuating lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, and capillary permeability actions. This review mainly focused on the hybrid nanoscience of quercetin bioflavonoid and its application in numerous biological, material fields with a future perspective.

Abstract
The use of chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel (PTX) for the treatment of tumors has several limitations, including multidrug resistance (MDR) and serious adverse reactions. This research aims to co-encapsulate PTX and the chemosensitizer 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME) into folate-conjugated human serum albumin nanoparticles (FA-HSANPs) to reduce multiple drug resistance and improve antitumor efficiency. The results show PTX/2-ME@FA-HSANPs had uniform particle size (180 ± 12.31 nm) and high encapsulation efficacy. It also exhibited highly potent cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing activities in the G2/M phase of PTX-resistant EC109/Taxol cells. Moreover, PTX/2-ME@FA-HSANPs not only displayed better inhibition of tumor growth in S-180 tumor-bearing mice than PTX alone but also reduced pathological damage to normal tissues. In summary, PTX/2-ME@FA-HSANPs could be a promising vehicle for tumor therapy and reducing drug resistance. This research will also provide references for other MDR treatment.

Abstract
The spread of metastatic cancer cell is the main cause of death worldwide. Cellular and molecular basis of the action of phytochemicals in the modulation of metastatic cancer highlights the importance of fruits and vegetables. Quercetin is a natural bioflavonoid present in fruits, vegetables, seeds, berries, and tea. The cancer-preventive activity of quercetin is well documented due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenic activities. However, poor water solubility and delivery, chemical instability, short half-life, and low-bioavailability of quercetin limit its clinical application in cancer chemoprevention. A better understanding of the molecular mechanism of controlled and regulated drug delivery is essential for the development of novel and effective therapies. To overcome the limitations of accessibility by quercetin, it can be delivered as nanoconjugated quercetin. Nanoconjugated quercetin has attracted much attention due to its controlled drug release, long retention in tumor, enhanced anticancer potential, and promising clinical application. The pharmacological effect of quercetin conjugated nanoparticles typically depends on drug carriers used such as liposomes, silver nanoparticles, silica nanoparticles, PLGA (Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid), PLA (poly(D,L-lactic acid)) nanoparticles, polymeric micelles, chitosan nanoparticles, etc. In this review, we described various delivery systems of nanoconjugated quercetin like liposomes, silver nanoparticles, PLGA (Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid), and polymeric micelles including DOX conjugated micelles, metal conjugated micelles, nucleic acid conjugated micelles, and antibody-conjugated micelles on in vitro and in vivo tumor models; as well as validated their potential as promising onco-therapeutic agents in light of recent updates.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in China. This study aimed to develop a hyaluronic acid (HA) decorated, pH sensitive lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPH NPs) to co-deliver erlotinib (ERL) and bevacizumab (BEV) (HA-ERL/BEV-LPH NPs) for targeting and suppressing NSCLC. HA contained pH sensitive nano-materials were synthesized by acylation reaction. HA-ERL/BEV-LPH NPs were prepared using a sonication method. To explore the efficiency of the system, we evaluated the physicochemical parameters and performed a release study, a cellular uptake assay, a cytotoxicity evaluation, and several in vivo anti-tumor studies in comparison with free drugs and single drug systems. All LPH NPs samples have particle sizes of about 100-120 nm, polydispersity index values range from 0.12 to 0.15, and negative zeta potentials. HA-ERL/BEV-LPH NPs contained pH sensitive adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) showed fast drug release at pH 5.5 than pH 7.4. After 21 days, the tumor volume of the HA-ERL/BEV-LPH NPs group (229.2 ± 13.1 mm3) was significantly smaller than 0.9 % NaCl control group (1126.3 ± 39.4 mm3), with a tumor inhibition rate of 79.7 ± 3.2 %. The maximum plasma ERL concentrations, half life period, and area under the curve of HA-ERL/BEV-LPH NPs were 21.6 μg/mL, 7.57 h, and 290.3 mg/L·h). With the highest tumor tissue accumulation concentration (25.3 μg/mL) and low system toxicity, HA-ERL/BEV-LPH NPs. HA-ERL/BEV-LPH NPs could be used as a promising system for the combination therapy of NSCLC.

Abstract
A large proportion of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms after surgery due to the presence of prostatic urothelium wounds. Rebamipide (RBM) exerts wound healing promotion and anti-inflammatory effects on various tissues, including the urothelium. However, intravesical administration of RBM is hindered due to its low solubility and resulting unsustainable drug concentrations in the bladder. In this study, RBM-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (RBM/CTS NPs) were prepared using the ionic cross-linking method. Physicochemical characteristics and the wound healing promotion effect, as well as in vitro influence on macrophages were evaluated. The results show that RBM/CTS NPs are spherical with uniform size distribution, while slower and sustained in vitro release of RBM is presented. In vivo, faster wound healing and improved re-epithelialization progress were observed after treatment with RBM/CTS NPs in a model of thulium laser resection of the prostate (TmLRP). The degree of local inflammatory response decreased, as confirmed by decreasing numbers of pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype macrophages and levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12 and TNF-α in the urine of canines. We also found that RBM/CTS NPs suppress macrophage M1 polarization induced by lipopolysaccharide and interferon-γ and inhibit the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Therefore, as a novel therapeutic strategy, intravesical administration of RBM/CTS NPs can effectively avoid drug intolerance and drug wastage, accelerating the postoperative wound repairing of the prostatic urethra by suppressing macrophage M1 phenotype polarization.

Abstract
Application of nanotechnologies to cancer therapy might increase solubility and/or bioavailability of bioactive compounds of natural or synthetic origin and offers other potential benefits in cancer therapy, including selective targeting. In the present review we aim to evaluate in vivo studies on the anticancer activity of nanoparticles (NPs) obtained from food-derived flavonoids. From a systematic search a total of 60 studies were identified. Most of the studies involved the flavanol epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate and the flavonol quercetin, in both delivery and co-delivery (with anti-cancer drugs) systems. Moreover, some studies investigated the effects of other flavonoids, such as anthocyanins aglycones anthocyanidins, flavanones, flavones and isoflavonoids. NPs inhibited tumor growth in both xenograft and chemical-induced animal models of cancerogenesis. Encapsulation improved bioavailability and/or reduced toxicity of both flavonoids and/or co-delivered drugs, such as doxorubicin, docetaxel, paclitaxel, honokiol and vincristine. Moreover, flavonoids have been successfully applied in molecular targeted nanosystems. Selectivity for cancer cells involves pH- and/or reactive oxygen species-mediated mechanisms. Furthermore, flavonoids are good candidates as drug delivery for anticancer drugs in green synthesis systems. In conclusion, although human studies are needed, NPs obtained from food-derived flavonoids have promising anticancer effects in vivo.

Abstract
Diselenide-containing paclitaxel nanoparticles (SePTX NPs) indicated selectivity of cytotoxicity between cancerous and normal cells in our previous work. Herein, the mechanism is revealed by molecular biology in detail. Cancer cells and normal cells were treated with the SePTX NPs and cell proliferation was measured using 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and cell morphology. Measurement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and biochemical parameters were employed to monitor oxidative stress of the cells. JC-1 assay was used to detect the mitochondrial dysfunction of the cells. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) analysis was used to detect apoptosis of the cells. Immunofluorescence analysis and western blotting were employed to monitor changes in signaling pathway-related proteins. Compared with PTX, SePTX NPs has a good selectivity to cancer cells and can obviously induce the proliferation damage of cancer cells, but has no significant toxicity to normal cells, indicating that SePTX NPs has a specific killing effect on cancer cells. The results of mechanism research show that SePTX NPs can successfully inhibit the depolymerization of microtubules and induce cell cycle arrest, which is related to the upregulation of p53 and CyclinB1. Simultaneously, SePTX NPs can successfully induce oxidative stress, cause mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting in mitochondrial pathway-mediated apoptosis, which is related to the upregulation of autophagy-related protein LC3-II. On the other hand, lewis lung cancer C57BL/6 mice were used to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of SePTX NPs in vivo. Our data show that SePTX NPs exhibited high inhibiting efficiency against the growth of tumors and were able to reduce the side effects. Collectively, these data indicate that the high antitumor effect and selective cytotoxicities of SePTX NPs is promising in future cancer therapy.

Abstract
The application of natural products to treat various diseases, such as cancer, has been an important area of research for many years. Several phytochemicals have demonstrated anticarcinogenic activity to prevent or reduce the progression of cancer by modulating various cellular mechanisms. However, poor bioavailability has hindered clinical success and the incorporation of these drugs into efficient drug delivery systems would be beneficial. For lung cancer, local delivery via the pulmonary route would also be more effective. In this article, recent in vitro scientific literature on phenolic compounds with anticancer activity towards lung cancer cell lines is reviewed and nanoparticulate delivery is mentioned as a possible solution to the problem of bioavailability. The first part of the review will explore the different classes of natural phenolic compounds and discuss recent reports on their activity on lung cancer cells. Then, the problem of the poor bioavailability of phenolic compounds will be explored, followed by a summary of recent advances in improving the efficacy of these phenolic compounds using nanoparticulate drug delivery systems. Graphical abstract The rationale for direct delivery of phenolic compounds loaded in microparticles to the lungs.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery allows effective and sustained delivery of therapeutic agents to solid tumors and has completely changed how cancer is treated. As a new technology for medical applications, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) shows a great potential in selective cancer treatment. The aim of this work is to develop a new dual cancer treatment approach by integrating CAP with novel paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded nanoparticles for targeting A549 cells. For this purpose, PTX-loaded core-shell magnetic nanoparticles were prepared through coaxial electrospraying, and various characteristics were investigated. Biodegradable poly(lactic- co-glycolic acid) was selected as the polymer shell to encapsulate the anticancer therapeutics. Results demonstrated a uniform size distribution and high drug encapsulation efficiency of the electrosprayed nanoparticles, which had sustained release characteristics and a variety of excellent properties. An in vitro study showed that PTX-loaded nanoparticles and CAP synergistically inhibited the growth of A549 cells more effectively than when each was used individually. We also found that CAP could induce the PTX-loaded nanoparticles in tumor cells to increase the effective drug concentration to a level that might be conducive to reduce drug resistance. Therefore, the integration of PTX-encapsulated nanoparticles and CAP provides a promising tool for the development of a new non-small cell lung cancer treatment strategy.

Eur J Pharm Sci 2018; 123:377-386.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CD) are natural macrocyclic oligosaccharides linked by α(1,4) glycosidic bonds. Hydrophobic cavity of CDs are able to incorporate small molecules, ions, macromolecules which makes them excellent delegates for forming nanoparticulate carriers upon chemical modification to render amphiphilicity to CDs. In this study, blank 6OCaproβCD nanoparticle was prepared and administered to MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The effects of these nanoparticles on the cells were investigated in depth through biochemical and proteomic tests following 48 h of incubation. Proteomics studies revealed that apoptosis-related protein levels of hnRNP and CBX1 were increased while HDGF was not affected supporting the idea that 6OCaproβCD nanoparticles prevent cell proliferation. Gene expression studies were generally in correlation with protein levels since gene expression was significantly stimulated while protein levels were lower compared to the control group suggesting that a post-transcriptional modification must have occurred. Furthermore, 6OCaproβCD was observed to not trigger multidrug resistance as proved with RT-PCR that effectuates another exquisite characteristic of 6OCaproβCD nanoparticle as carrier of chemotherapeutic drugs. Metabolomic pathways of CD effect on MCF7 cells were elucidated with HMDB as serine biosynthesis, transmembrane transport of small molecules, metabolism of steroid hormones, estrogen biosynthesis and phospholipid biosynthesis. In conclusion, 6OCaproβCD is a promising nanoparticulate carrier for chemotherapeutic drugs with intrinsic apoptotic effect to be employed in treatment of breast cancer and further studies should be conducted in order to comprehend the exact mechanism of action.

Preparation, Characterization, and In Vivo Evaluation of an Oral Multiple Nanoemulsive System for Co-Delivery of Pemetrexed and Quercetin. Pharmaceutics 2018; 10:pharmaceutics10030158. [PMID: 30213140 PMCID: PMC6161295 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics10030158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2018] [Revised: 09/07/2018] [Accepted: 09/10/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Co-administration of conventional and natural chemotherapeutics offers synergistic anticancer efficacy while minimizing adverse effects. In this study, an oral co-delivery system for pemetrexed (PMX) and quercetin (QCN) was designed based on water-in-oil-in-water nanoemulsion (NE), which is highly absorbable because it enhances the intestinal membrane permeability of PMX and aqueous solubility of QCN. To create this system, an ion-pairing complex of PMX with Nα-deoxycholyl-l-lysyl-methylester (DCK) was formed and further incorporated with QCN into the NE, yielding PMX/DCK-QCN-NE. The results revealed synergistic inhibitory effects on human lung carcinoma (A549) cell proliferation and migration after combined treatment with PMX/DCK and QCN. The intestinal membrane permeability and cellular uptake of PMX/DCK and QCN from the NE were significantly improved via facilitated transport of PMX by the interaction of DCK with bile acid transporters, as well as NE formulation-mediated alterations in the membrane structure and fluidity, which resulted in 4.51- and 23.9-fold greater oral bioavailability of PMX and QCN, respectively, than each free drug. Tumor growth in A549 cell-bearing mice was also maximally suppressed by 62.7% after daily oral administration of PMX/DCK-QCN-NE compared with controls. Thus, PMX/DCK-QCN-NE is a promising oral nanocarrier of PMX and QCN for synergistic anticancer efficacy and long-term chemotherapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy has been widely applied in clinics. However, the therapeutic potential of chemotherapy against cancer is seriously dissatisfactory due to the nonspecific drug distribution, multidrug resistance (MDR) and the heterogeneity of cancer. Therefore, combinational therapy based on chemotherapy mediated by nanotechnology, has been the trend in clinical research at present, which can result in a remarkably increased therapeutic efficiency with few side effects to normal tissues. Moreover, to achieve the accurate pre-diagnosis and real-time monitoring for tumor, the research of nano-theranostics, which integrates diagnosis with treatment process, is a promising field in cancer treatment. In this review, the recent studies on combinational therapy based on chemotherapy will be systematically discussed. Furthermore, as a current trend in cancer treatment, advance in theranostic nanoparticles based on chemotherapy will be exemplified briefly. Finally, the present challenges and improvement tips will be presented in combination therapy and nano-theranostics.
