Mikrochim Acta 2023; 191:15. [PMID: 38087000 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-023-06076-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
Based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as energy donor and herring sperm DNA (hsDNA) as molecular recognition element, an unlabelled upconversion luminescence (UCL) affinity biosensor was constructed for the detection of anthraquinone (AQ) anticancer drugs in biological fluids. AQ anticancer drugs can insert into the double helix structure of hsDNA on the surface of UCNPs, thereby shortening the distance from UCNPs. Therefore, the luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) phenomenon is effectively triggered between UCNPs and AQ anticancer drugs. Hence, AQ anticancer drugs can be quantitatively detected according to the UCL quenching rate. The biosensor showed good sensitivity and stability for the detection of daunorubicin (DNR) and doxorubicin (ADM). For the detection of DNR, the linear range is 1-100 μg·mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.60 μg·mL-1, and for ADM, the linear range is 0.5-100 μg·mL-1 with a LOD of 0.38 μg·mL-1. The proposed biosensor provides a convenient method for monitoring AQ anticancer drugs in clinical biological fluids in the future.

Manasa CS, Silva SM, Caballero-Aguilar LM, Quigley AF, Kapsa RMI, Greene GW, Moulton SE. Active and passive drug release by self-assembled lubricin (PRG4) anti-fouling coatings. J Control Release 2022; 352:35-46. [PMID: 36228955 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2022.10.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Revised: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Electroactive polymers (EAPs) have been investigated as materials for use in a range of biomedical applications, ranging from cell culture, electrical stimulation of cultured cells as well as controlled delivery of growth factors and drugs. Despite their excellent drug delivery ability, EAPs are susceptible to biofouling thus they often require surface functionalisation with antifouling coatings to limit unwanted non-specific protein adsorption. Here we demonstrate the surface modification of para toluene sulfonate (pTS) doped polypyrrole with the glycoprotein lubricin (LUB) to produce a self-assembled coating that both prevents surface biofouling while also serving as a high-capacity reservoir for cationic drugs which can then be released passively via diffusion or actively via an applied electrical potential. We carried out our investigation in two parts where we initially assessed the antifouling and cationic drug delivery ability of LUB tethered on a gold surface using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM) to monitor molecular interactions occurring on a gold sensor surface. After confirming the ability of tethered LUB nano brush layers on a gold surface, we introduced an electrochemically grown EAP layer to act as the immobilisation surface for LUB before subsequently introducing the cationic drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). The release of cationic drug was then investigated under passive and electrochemically stimulated conditions. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was then carried out to quantify the amount of DOX released. It was shown that the amount of DOX released from nano brush layers of LUB tethered on gold and EAP surfaces could be increased by up to 30% per minute by applying a positive electrochemically stimulating pulse at 0.8 V for one minute. Using bovine serum albumin (BSA), we show that DOX loaded LUB tethered on para toluene sulfonic acid (pTS) doped polypyrrole retained antifouling ability of up to 75% when compared to unloaded tethered LUB. This work demonstrates the unique, novel ability of tethered LUB to actively participate in the delivery of cationic therapeutics on different substrate surfaces. This study could lead to the development of versatile multifunctional biomaterials for use in wide range of biomedical applications, such as dual drug delivery and lubricating coatings, dual drug delivery and antifouling coatings, cellular recording and stimulation.

Abstract
Drug repositioning and drug reuse are the heated topics in the field of oncology in recent years. These two concepts refer to seeking effective drugs for cancer that are not originally intended to treat cancer. The survival benefits are then analyzed by combining the re-positioned drugs with conventional cancer treatment methods. Simvastatin is a clinically commonly used hyperlipidemia drug and exerts the effect of preventing cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies have found that simvastatin has great potential in the treatment of colorectal cancer, and a large number of clinical studies have used simvastatin as an adjuvant drug to help treat metastatic colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common liver malignancy and is among the top five most common cancers. Despite the progress of surgery and chemotherapy, the results are often disappointing, in part due to chemoresistance. This type of tumor has special characteristics that allow the improvement of diagnostic and treatment techniques used in clinical practice, by combining nanotechnology. This article presents a brief review of the literature focused on nano-conditioned diagnostic methods, targeted therapy, and therapeutic implications for the pathology of hepatocellular carcinoma. Within each subdomain, several modern technologies with significant impact were highlighted: serological, imaging, or histopathological diagnosis; intraoperative detection; carrier-type nano-conditioned therapy, thermal ablation, and gene therapy. The prospects offered by nanomedicine will strengthen the hope of more efficient diagnoses and therapies in the future.

Abstract
Two paste electrodes based on graphene quantum dots and carbon nanotubes (GRQD/CNT) and one modified with a homoleptic liquid crystalline Cu(I) based coordination complex (Cu/GRQD/CNT) were obtained and morphostructurally and electrochemically characterized in comparison with simple CNT electrode (CNT) for doxorubicine (DOX) detection in aqueous solutions. GRQD/CNT showed the best electroanalytical performance by differential pulse voltammetry technique (DPV). Moreover, applying a preconcentration step prior to detection stage, the lowest limit of detection (1 ng/L) and the highest sensitivity (216,105 µA/mg·L-1) in comparison with reported literature data were obtained. Cu/GRQD/CNT showed good results using multiple pulse amperometry technique (MPA) and a favorable shifting of the potential detection to mitigate potential interferences. Both GRQD-based paste electrodes have a great potential for practical utility in DOX determination in water at trace concentration levels, using GRQD/CNT with DPV and in pharmaceuticals formulations using Cu/GRQD/CNT with MPA.
