Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) engineered as drug delivery systems continue to make breakthroughs as they offer numerous advantages over free therapeutics. However, the poor understanding of the interplay between the NPs and biomolecules, especially blood proteins, obstructs NP translation to clinics. Nano-bio interactions determine the NPs' in vivo fate, efficacy and immunotoxicity, potentially altering protein function. To fulfill the growing need to investigate nano-bio interactions, this study provides a systematic understanding of two key aspects: (i) protein corona (PC) formation and (ii) NP-induced modifications on protein's structure and stability. A methodology was developed by combining orthogonal techniques to analyze both quantitative and qualitative aspects of nano-bio interactions, using human serum albumin (HSA) as a model protein. Protein quantification via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) clarified adsorbed protein quantity and stability. CZE further unveiled qualitative insights into HSA forms (native, glycated HSA and cysteinylated), while synchrotron radiation circular dichroism enabled analyzing HSA's secondary structure and thermal stability. Comparative investigations of NP cores (organic vs. hybrid), and shells (with or without polyethylene glycol (PEG)) revealed pivotal factors influencing nano-bio interactions. Polymeric NPs based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and hybrid NPs based on metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) presented distinct HSA adsorption profiles. PLGA NPs had protein-repelling properties while inducing structural modifications on HSA. In contrast, HSA exhibited a high affinity for nanoMOFs forming a PC altering thereby the protein structure. A shielding effect was gained through PEGylation for both types of NPs, avoiding the PC formation as well as the alteration of unbound HSA structure.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has significantly transformed cancer treatment by introducing innovative methods for delivering drugs effectively. This literature review provided an in-depth analysis of the role of nanocarriers in cancer therapy, with a particular focus on the critical concept of the 'stealth effect.' The stealth effect refers to the ability of nanocarriers to evade the immune system and overcome physiological barriers. The review investigated the design and composition of various nanocarriers, such as liposomes, micelles, and inorganic nanoparticles, highlighting the importance of surface modifications and functionalization. The complex interaction between the immune system, opsonization, phagocytosis, and the protein corona was examined to understand the stealth effect. The review carefully evaluated strategies to enhance the stealth effect, including surface coating with polymers, biomimetic camouflage, and targeting ligands. The in vivo behavior of stealth nanocarriers and their impact on pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and toxicity were also systematically examined. Additionally, the review presented clinical applications, case studies of approved nanocarrier-based cancer therapies, and emerging formulations in clinical trials. Future directions and obstacles in the field, such as advancements in nanocarrier engineering, personalized nanomedicine, regulatory considerations, and ethical implications, were discussed in detail. The review concluded by summarizing key findings and emphasizing the transformative potential of stealth nanocarriers in revolutionizing cancer therapy. This review enhanced the comprehension of nanocarrier-based cancer therapies and their potential impact by providing insights into advanced studies, clinical applications, and regulatory considerations.

Abstract
Porous iron(III) carboxylate metal-organic frameworks (MIL-100; MIL stands for Material of Institute Lavoisier) of submicronic size (nanoMOFs) have attracted a growing interest in the field of drug delivery due to their high drug payloads, excellent entrapment efficiencies, biodegradable character, and poor toxicity. However, only a few studies have dealt with the nanoMOF degradation mechanism, which is key to their biological applications. Complementary methods have been used here to investigate the degradation mechanism of Fe-based nanoMOFs under neutral or acidic conditions and in the presence of albumin. High-resolution STEM-HAADF coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy enabled the monitoring of the crystalline organization and elemental distribution during degradation. NanoMOFs were also deposited onto silicon substrates by dip-coating, forming stable thin films of high optical quality. The mean film thickness and structural changes were further monitored by IR ellipsometry, approaching the "sink conditions" occurring in vivo. This approach is essential for the successful design of biocompatible nano-vectors under extreme diluted conditions. It was revealed that while the presence of a protein coating layer did not impede the degradation process, the pH of the medium in contact with the nanoMOFs played a major role. The degradation of nanoMOFs occurred to a larger extent under neutral conditions, rapidly and homogeneously within the crystalline matrices, and was associated with the departure of their constitutive organic ligand. Remarkably, the nanoMOFs' particles maintained their global morphology during degradation.

Abstract
LipoParticles, core-shell assemblies consisting of a polymer core coated by a lipid membrane, are promising carriers for drug delivery applications with intracellular targets. This is of great interest since it is actually challenging to treat infections involving intracellular bacteria such as bone and joint infections where the bacteria are hidden in osteoblast cells. The present work reports for the first time to the best of our knowledge the proof of enhanced internalization of particles in osteoblast cells thanks to a lipid coating of particles (= LipoParticles). The ca. 300 nm-sized assemblies were elaborated by reorganization of liposomes (composed of DPPC/DPTAP 10/90 mol/mol) onto the surface of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) particles, and were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and zetametry. Optimization of these assemblies was also performed by adding poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains on their surface (corresponding to a final formulation of DPPC/DPTAP/DPPE-PEG5000 8/90/2 mol/mol/mol). Interestingly, this provided them colloidal stability after their 20-fold dilution in PBS or cell culture medium, and made possible their freeze-drying without forming aggregates after their re-hydration. Their non-cytotoxicity towards a human osteoblast cell line (MG63) was also demonstrated. The enhanced internalization of LipoParticles in this MG63 cell line, in comparison with PLGA particles, was proven by observations with a confocal laser scanning microscope, as well as by flow cytometry assays. Finally, this efficient internalization of LipoParticles in MG63 cells was confirmed by TEM on ultrathin sections, which also revealed localization close to intracellular Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
Coatings of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have potential applications in surface modification for medical implants, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems. Therefore, developing an applicable method for surface-mounted MOF engineering to fabricate protective coating for implant tissue engineering is a crucial issue. Besides, the coating process was desgined for drug infusion and effect opposing chemical and mechanical resistance. In the present review, we discuss the techniques of MOF coatings for medical application in both in vitro and in vivo in various systems such as in situ growth of MOFs, dip coating of MOFs, spin coating of MOFs, Layer-by-layer methods, spray coating of MOFs, gas phase deposition of MOFs, electrochemical deposition of MOFs. The current study investigates the modification in the implant surface to change the properties of the alloy surface by MOF to improve properties such as reduction of the biofilm adhesion, prevention of infection, improvement of drugs and ions rate release, and corrosion resistance. MOF coatings on the surface of alloys can be considered as an opportunity or a restriction. The presence of MOF coatings in the outer layer of alloys would significantly demonstrate the biological, chemical and mechanical effects. Additionally, the impact of MOF properties and specific interactions with the surface of alloys on the anti-microbial resistance, anti-corrosion, and self-healing of MOF coatings are reported. Thus, the importance of multifunctional methods to improve the adhesion of alloy surfaces, microbial and corrosion resistance and prospects are summarized.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a devastating prognosis without effective treatment options. Thus, there is an urgent need for more effective and safe therapies. Here, inorganic-organic hybrid nanoparticles (GMP-IOH-NPs) are presented as a novel drug-delivery system for the selective delivery of extraordinarily high concentrations of gemcitabine monophosphate (GMP), not only to the primary tumor but also to metastatic sites. GMP-IOH-NPs have a composition of [ZrO]2+ [GMP]2 - with GMP as drug anion (76% of total IOH-NP mass). Multiscale fluorescence imaging confirms an efficient uptake in tumor cells, independent of the activity of the human-equilibrative-nucleoside transporter (hENT1), being responsible for gemcitabine (GEM) transport into cells and a key factor for GEM resistance. Delivering already phosphorylated GMP via GMP-IOH-NPs into tumor cells also allows the cellular resistance induced by the downregulation of deoxycytidine kinase to be overcome. GMP-IOH-NPs show high accumulation in tumor lesions and only minor liver trapping when given intraperitoneally. GMP-IOH-NPs result in a higher antitumor efficacy compared to free GEM, which is further enhanced applying cetuximab-functionalized GMP-CTX-IOH-NPs. By maximizing the therapeutic benefits with high drug load, tumor-specific delivery, minimizing undesired side effects, overcoming mechanisms of chemoresistance, and preventing systemic GEM inactivation, GMP-IOH-NPs are anticipated to have a high chance to significantly improve current PDAC-patient outcome.

Abstract
Piperine (PIP), a compound found in Piper longum, has shown promise as a potential chemotherapeutic agent for breast cancer. However, its inherent toxicity has limited its application. To overcome this challenge, researchers have developed PIP@MIL-100(Fe), an organic metal-organic framework (MOF) that encapsulates PIP for breast cancer treatment. Nanotechnology offers further treatment options, including the modification of nanostructures with macrophage membranes (MM) to enhance the evasion of the immune system. In this study, the researchers aimed to evaluate the potential of MM-coated MOFs encapsulated with PIP for breast cancer treatment. They successfully synthesized MM@PIP@MIL-100(Fe) through impregnation synthesis. The presence of MM coating on the MOF surface was confirmed through SDS-PAGE analysis, which revealed distinct protein bands. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images demonstrated the existence of a PIP@MIL-100(Fe) core with a diameter of around 50 nm, surrounded by an outer lipid bilayer layer measuring approximately 10 nm in thickness. Furthermore, the researchers evaluated the cytotoxicity indices of the nanoparticles against various breast cancer cell lines, including MCF-7, BT-549, SKBR-3, and MDA. The results demonstrated that the MOFs exhibited between 4 and 17 times higher cytotoxicity (IC50) in all four cell lines compared to free PIP (IC50 = 193.67 ± 0.30 µM). These findings suggest that MM@PIP@MIL-100(Fe) holds potential as an effective treatment for breast cancer. The study's outcomes highlight the potential of utilizing MM-coated MOFs encapsulated with PIP as an innovative approach for breast cancer therapy, offering improved cytotoxicity compared to free PIP alone. Further research and development are warranted to explore the clinical translation and optimize the efficacy and safety of this treatment strategy.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) attract growing interest in biomedical applications. Among thousands of MOF structures, the mesoporous iron(III) carboxylate MIL-100(Fe) (MIL stands for the Materials of Lavoisier Institute) is among the most studied MOF nanocarrier, owing to its high porosity, biodegradability, and lack of toxicity. Nanosized MIL-100(Fe) particles (nanoMOFs) readily coordinate with drugs leading to unprecedented payloads and controlled release. Here, we show how the functional groups of the challenging anticancer drug prednisolone influence their interactions with the nanoMOFs and their release in various media. Molecular modeling enabled predicting the strength of interactions between prednisolone-bearing or not phosphate or sulfate moieties (PP and PS, respectively) and the oxo-trimer of MIL-100(Fe) as well as understanding the pore filling of MIL-100(Fe). Noticeably, PP showed the strongest interactions (drug loading up to 30 wt %, encapsulation efficiency > 98%) and slowed down the nanoMOFs' degradation in simulated body fluid. This drug was shown to bind to the iron Lewis acid sites and was not displaced by other ions in the suspension media. On the contrary, PS was entrapped with lower efficiencies and was easily displaced by phosphates in the release media. Noticeably, the nanoMOFs maintained their size and faceted structures after drug loading and even after degradation in blood or serum after losing almost the totality of the constitutive trimesate ligands. Scanning electron microscopy with high annular dark field (STEM-HAADF) in conjunction with X-Ray energy-dispersive spectrometry (XEDS) was a powerful tool enabling the unraveling of the main elements to gain insights on the MOF structural evolution after drug loading and/or upon degradation.

Abstract
The synthesis of carbon dots using plant leaves is a facile and economically viable approach. Here we report the development of lipid-coated red fluorescent carbon dots (LRCDs), a biocompatible and stable nanomaterial, utilizing Clitoria ternatea leaves. The red fluorescent carbon dots (RCDs) were prepared by hydrothermal method, followed by lipid coating using rotary evaporation for imaging-guided phototherapy. RCDs generate heat in tandem with NIR laser irradiation and could therefore be employed as a photothermal agent in cancer therapy. Additionally, the fluorescent nature of RCDs can be utilized in bioimaging. The fabricated RCDs displayed a characteristic fluorescent emission maximum at 672 nm with a shoulder peak at 723 nm. Hydrophobicity is a major drawback associated with the RCDs, which limits their therapeutic efficiency due to poor biodistribution and rapid clearance. To address this limitation, we coated RCDs with soya lecithin to generate hydrophilic LRCDs with better bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. Further analysis using MTT assay reveals high biocompatibility and a distinct photothermal ablation potency of LRCDs against L929 and 4T1 cells, respectively. LRCDs could potentially be synthesized on a large scale and used for a variety of applications due to their low-cost, and biocompatibility.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24021757. [PMID: 36675274 PMCID: PMC9866736 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24021757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Due to their flexible composition, large surface areas, versatile surface properties, and degradability, nanoscale metal organic frameworks (nano MOFs) are drawing significant attention in nanomedicine. In particular, iron trimesate MIL-100 (Fe) is studied extensively in the drug delivery field. Nanosized MIL-100 (Fe) are obtained mostly by microwave-assisted synthesis. Simpler, room-temperature (RT) synthesis methods attract growing interest and have scale-up potential. However, the preparation of RT MIL100 is still very challenging because of the high tendency of the nanoparticles to aggregate during their synthesis, purification and storage. To address this issue, we prepared RT MIL100 using acetic acid as a modulator and used non-toxic cyclodextrin-based coatings to ensure stability upon storage. Hydrodynamic diameters less than 100 nm were obtained after RT synthesis, however, ultrasonication was needed to disaggregate the nanoparticles after their purification by centrifugation. The model drug adenosine monophosphate (AMP) was successfully encapsulated in RT MIL100 obtained using acetic acid as a modulator. The coated RT MIL100 has CD-exhibited degradability, good colloidal stability, low cytotoxicity, as well as high drug payload efficiency. Further studies will focus on applications in the field of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Since the first report in 1989, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) self-assembled from metal ions or clusters, as well as organic linkers, have attracted extensive attention. Due to their flexible composition, large surface areas, modifiable surface properties, and their degradability, there has been an exponential increase in the study of MOFs materials, specifically in drug delivery system areas such as infection, diabetes, pulmonary disease, ocular disease, imaging, tumor therapy, and especially cancer theranostics. In this review, we discuss the trends in MOFs biosafety, from "green" synthesis to applications in drug delivery systems. Firstly, we present the different "green" synthesis approaches used to prepare MOFs materials. Secondly, we detail the methods for the functional coating, either through grafting targeting units, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains or by using cell membranes. Then, we discuss drug encapsulation strategies, host-guest interactions, as well as drug release mechanisms. Lastly, we report on the drug delivery applications of nanoscale MOFs. In particular, we discuss MOFs-based imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), positron emission tomography (PET), and fluorescence imaging. MOFs-based cancer therapy methods are also presented, such as photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

Int J Pharm 2022; 618:121647. [PMID: 35288221 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Revised: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
In this study, the potential of using MIL-100(Fe) metal-organic framework (MOF) for loading and controlling the release of dacarbazine (DTIC) was evaluated for in vitro treatment of melanoma. The drug loading was performed during the green synthesis of MIL-100(Fe) in an aqueous media without using any harmful solvents, to obtain MIL-DTIC. The surface of this structure was then coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the same aqueous solution to synthesize MIL-DTIC-PEG. The synthesized samples were characterized using various methods. Their release profile was studied in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and simulated cutaneous medium (SCM). The cytotoxicity of DTIC and its nano-MOF formulation were investigated against melanoma A375 cell lines. The results revealed that the PEG coating (PEGylation) changed the surface charge of MOF from -2.8 ± 0.9 mV to -42.8 ± 1.2 mV, which can contribute to the colloidal stability of MOF. The PEGylation showed a significant effect on controlled drug release, especially in SCM, which increases the complete release time from 60 h to 12 days. Moreover, both of the drug-containing MOFs showed more toxicity than DTIC and unloaded MOFs, confirming that the cumulative release of drug and better cellular uptake of NPs lead to increased toxicity.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN CHEMISTRY : MRC 2021; 59:1038-1047.

Abstract
Nanosized metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) have emerged as a new class of biodegradable and nontoxic nanomaterials of high interest for biomedical applications thanks to the possibility to load large amounts of a wide variety of therapeutic molecules in their porous structure. The surface of the highly porous nanoMOFs is usually engineered to increase their colloidal stability, to tune their interactions with the biological environment, and to allow targeting specific cells or organs. However, the atomic-scale analysis of these complex core-shell materials is highly challenging. In this study, we report the investigation of aluminum-based nanoMOFs containing two fluorinated lipids by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, including 27 Al, 1 H and 19 F MAS NMR. The ensemble of NMR data provides a better understanding of the localization and conformation of the fluorinated lipids inside the pores or on the nanoMOF surface.
