Abstract
Nanomaterial-based synergistic antibacterial agents are considered as promising tools to combat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Herein, multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-based nanocomposites were fabricated for synergistic photothermal/photodynamic/chemodynamic therapy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MSN loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) as a core, while Prussian blue (PB) nanostructure was decorated on MSN surface via in situ growth method to form a core-shell nanohybrid (MSN-ICG@PB). Upon a near infrared (NIR) laser excitation, MSN-ICG@PB (200 μg mL-1) exhibited highly efficient singlet oxygen (1O2) generation and hyperthermia effect (48.7℃). In the presence of exogenous H2O2, PB with peroxidase-like activity promoted the generation of toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to achieve chemodynamic therapy (CDT). PTT can greatly increase the permeability of bacterial lipid membrane, facilitating the generated 1O2 and •OH to kill bacteria more efficiently. Under NIR irradiation and exogenous H2O2, MSN-ICG@PB (200 μg mL-1) with good biocompatibility exhibited a synergistic antibacterial effect against MRSA with high bacterial killing efficiency (>98 %). Moreover, due to the synergistic bactericidal mechanism, MSN-ICG@PB with satisfactory biosafety makes it a promising antimicrobial agent to fight against MRSA.

Abstract
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a highly promising strategy for non-antibiotic treatment of infections due to its unique advantages in efficient bactericidal action and reduction of drug resistance. The natural photosensitizing properties of curcumin (Cur) are widely acknowledged; however, its limited bioavailability has impeded its practical application. In this study, we developed a nanomaterial called Cur@ZIF-8@BA by encapsulating Cur within ZIF-8 and modifying the surface with boric acid (BA). The Cur@ZIF-8@BA exhibits pH-responsive properties and enhances bacterial binding, thereby effectively promoting photodynamic therapy. Moreover, its antibacterial activity against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and A. baumannii is significantly increased in the presence of light compared to a dark environment. The mechanism behind this may be that BA increases the affinity of Cur@ZIF-8@BA towards bacteria, and making released Zn2+ and BA from the nanomaterial increase bacterial cell membrane permeability. This facilitates efficient delivery of Cur into bacterial cells, resulting in generation of abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent bactericidal activity. In conclusion, our prepared Cur@ZIF-8@BA holds great promise as a photodynamically mediated antimicrobial strategy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy has the advantages of non-invasiveness, low toxicity, simple operation, a broad spectrum of antibacterial ability, and non-proneness to developing drug resistance, which provide it with irreplaceable superiority in fighting against microbial infection. The effect of photothermal therapy is closely related to the choice of photothermal agent. Conjugated nanomaterials are potential candidates for photothermal agents because of their easy modification, excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, good photostability, and biodegradability. In this paper, the application of photothermal agents based on conjugated nanomaterials in photothermal antimicrobial treatment is reviewed, including conjugated small molecules, conjugated oligomers, conjugated polymers, and pseudo-conjugated polymers. At the same time, the application of conjugated nanomaterials in the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is briefly introduced. Finally, the research status, limitations, and prospects of photothermal therapy using conjugated nanomaterials as photothermal agents are discussed.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15051521. [PMID: 37242762 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15051521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a highly versatile class of ordered porous materials, which hold great promise for different biomedical applications, including antibacterial therapy. In light of the antibacterial effects, these nanomaterials can be attractive for several reasons. First, MOFs exhibit a high loading capacity for numerous antibacterial drugs, including antibiotics, photosensitizers, and/or photothermal molecules. The inherent micro- or meso-porosity of MOF structures enables their use as nanocarriers for simultaneous encapsulation of multiple drugs resulting in a combined therapeutic effect. In addition to being encapsulated into an MOF's pores, antibacterial agents can sometimes be directly incorporated into an MOF skeleton as organic linkers. Next, MOFs contain coordinated metal ions in their structure. Incorporation of Fe2/3+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Co2+, and Ag+ can significantly increase the innate cytotoxicity of these materials for bacteria and cause a synergistic effect. Finally, abundance of functional groups enables modifying the external surface of MOF particles with stealth coating and ligand moieties for improved drug delivery. To date, there are a number of MOF-based nanomedicines available for the treatment of bacterial infections. This review is focused on biomedical consideration of MOF nano-formulations designed for the therapy of intracellular infections such as Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Chlamydia trachomatis. Increasing knowledge about the ability of MOF nanoparticles to accumulate in a pathogen intracellular niche in the host cells provides an excellent opportunity to use MOF-based nanomedicines for the eradication of persistent infections. Here, we discuss advantages and current limitations of MOFs, their clinical significance, and their prospects for the treatment of the mentioned infections.

Abstract
Among the strategies employed to overcome the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria, directed chemotherapy combined with local therapies (e.g., magnetic hyperthermia) has gained great interest. A nano-assembly coupling the antimicrobial peptide AS-48 to biomimetic magnetic nanoparticles (AS-48-BMNPs) was demonstrated to have potent bactericidal effects on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria when the antimicrobial activity of the peptide was combined with magnetic hyperthermia. Nevertheless, intracellular pathogens remain challenging due to the difficulty of the drug reaching the bacterium. Thus, improving the cellular uptake of the nanocarrier is crucial for the success of the treatment. In the present study, we demonstrate the embedding cellular uptake of the original nano-assembly into THP-1, reducing the toxicity of AS-48 toward healthy THP-1 cells. We optimized the design of PLGA[AS-48-BMNPs] in terms of size, colloidal stability, and hyperthermia activity (either magnetic or photothermal). The stability of the nano-formulation at physiological pH values was evaluated by studying the AS-48 release at this pH value. The influence of pH and hyperthermia on the AS-48 release from the nano-formulation was also studied. These results show a slower AS-48 release from PLGA[AS-48-BMNPs] compared to previous nano-formulations, which could make this new nano-formulation suitable for longer extended treatments of intracellular pathogens. PLGA[AS-48-BMNPs] are internalized in THP-1 cells where AS-48 is liberated slowly, which may be useful to treat diseases and prevent infection caused by intracellular pathogens. The treatment will be more efficient combined with hyperthermia or photothermia.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets emerged as promising 2D nanomaterial that have been applied to eradicate antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, their applications are limited by intrinsic ambient instability. Here, the ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL)-engineered BP nanosheets are constructed via simple electrostatic interaction to cater the demand for passivating BP with amplified antibacterial activity. The dual drug-delivery complex named BP@ε-PL can closely anchor onto the surface of bacteria, leading to membrane disintegration. Subsequently, in situ hyperthermia generated by BP under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation can precisely eradicate pathogenic bacteria. In vitro antibacterial studies verify the rapid disinfection ability of BP@ε-PL against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) within 15 min. Moreover, ε-PL can serve as an effective protector to avoid chemical degradation of bare BP. The in vivo antibacterial study shows that a 99.4% antibacterial rate in a MRSA skin infection model is achieved, which is accompanied by negligible toxicity. In conclusion, this work not merely provides a new conjecture for protecting the BP, but also opens a novel window for synergistic antibiotic-resistant bacteria therapy based on antimicrobial peptides and 2D photothermal nanomaterial.

Titanium carbide MXene-based hybrid hydrogel for chemo-photothermal combinational treatment of localized bacterial infection. Acta Biomater 2022; 142:113-123.

Abstract
With the increased emergence and threat of multi-drug resistant microorganisms, MXenes have become not only an emerging class of two-dimensional functional nanomaterials, but also potential nanomedicines (i.e., antimicrobial agents) that deserve further exploration. Very recently, Ti3C2 MXene was observed to offer a unique membrane-disruption effect and superior light-to-heat conversion efficiency, but its antibacterial property remains unsatisfactory due to poor MXene-bacteria interactions, low photothermal therapy efficiency, and occurrence of bacterial rebound in vivo. Herein, the cationic antibiotic ciprofloxacin (Cip) is combined with Ti3C2 MXene, and a hybrid hydrogel was constructed by incorporating Cip-Ti3C2 nanocomposites into the network structure of a Cip-loaded hydrogels to effectively trap and kill bacteria. We found that the Cip-Ti3C2 nanocomposites achieved an impressive in vitro bactericidal efficiency of >99.99999% (7.03 log10) for the inhibition of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by combining chemotherapy with photothermal therapy. In an MRSA-induced murine abscess model, the hybrid hydrogel simultaneously achieved high-efficiency sterilization and long-term inhibition effects, avoiding the rebound of bacteria after photothermal therapy, and thus maximized the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of Ti3C2 MXene-based systems. Overall, this work provides a strategy for efficiently combating localized bacterial infection by rationally designing MXene-based hybrid hydrogels. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Two-dimensional Ti3C2 MXene was recently regarded as a promising functional nanomaterial, however, its antibacterial applications are limited by the poor MXene-bacteria interactions, low photothermal therapy efficiency, and the occurrence of bacterial rebound in vivo. This work aims to construct a Ti3C2 MXene-based hybrid hydrogel for chemo-photothermal therapy and enhance the antimicrobial performance via a combination of the high-efficiency sterilization of ciprofloxacin-Ti3C2 nanocomposites with the long-term inhibition effect of ciprofloxacin hydrogel. The present study provides an example of efficient MXene-based antimicrobials to treat localized bacterial infection such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-induced skin abscess.

Abstract
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a highly attractive therapy due to its advantages of being a non-antibiotic procedure for reducing drug-resistant microbes. Curcumin (CCM) has been considered as a natural photosensitizer for PDT with prominent antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-proliferative activity. However, its excellent biological and pharmacological activities are limited because of its low solubility, rapid metabolization and instability. Herein, we reported a promising agent based on CCM-incorporated into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF@CCM). The as-prepared nanoparticle exhibited high drug loading capability (11.57%) and drug loading encapsulation (82.76%). Additionally, ZIF@CCM displayed a pH-responsive drug release behavior and chemophotodynamic therapy for excellent antibacterial activity. The underlying mechanism elucidated that Zn2+ released from ZIF-8 increased the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane with leakages of K+. The overproduction of extracellular ROS further resulted in the disrupted bacterial cell membrane and distorted bacterial morphology. Thus, ZIF@CCM-mediated photodynamic activation might be a promising treatment strategy for microbial inactivation.

Abstract
Background Despite extensive investigations on photothermal therapy, the clinical application is restricted due to poor stability, low therapeutic efficacy of photothermal therapy agents and its affinity loss in the multistep synthesis of delivery carriers. To address this, we designed an IR792-MCN@ZIF-8-PD-L1 siRNA (IM@ZP) nanoparticle drug delivery system. IM@ZP was prepared by in situ synthesis and physical adsorption, followed by characterization. Photothermal conversion ability of IM@ZP was assessed by irradiation of near-infrared (NIR) laser, followed by analysis of its effect on 4T1 cell viability, maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and the secretion of related cytokines in vitro, and the changes of tumor infiltrating T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in vivo. Subcutaneous 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse and lung metastasis models were established to investigate the role of IM@ZP in killing tumor and inhibiting metastasis in vivo. Results IM@ZP was uniform nanoparticles of 81.67 nm with the characteristic UV absorption peak of IR792, and could effectively adsorb PD-L1 siRNA. Under the irradiation of 808 nm laser, IM@ZP exhibited excellent photothermal performance. IM@ZP could be efficiently uptaken by 4T1 cells, and had high transfection efficiency of PD-L1 siRNA. Upon NIR laser irradiation, IM@ZP effectively killed 4T1 cells, upregulated HSP70 expression, induced DC maturation and increased secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 in vitro. Moreover, in vivo experimental results revealed that IM@ZP enhanced photothermal immunotherapy as shown by promoted tumor infiltrating CD8 + and CD4 + T cells and NK cells, and inhibited tumor growth and lung metastasis. Conclusion Together, biocompatible IM@ZP nanoparticles result in high photothermal immunotherapy efficiency and may have a great potential as a delivery system for sustained cancer therapy.

Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) strategies are an effective approach to repair periodontal defects by using GTR membranes. However, commercial GTR membranes still have limitations in periodontal tissue regeneration owing to lack of antibacterial and osteogenic properties. The development of novel Janus nanofibers with biphasic release characteristics based on the therapeutic needs of GTR is essential to tackle this issue. Here, we developed a multifunctional Janus nanofiber via uniaxial electrospinning, with zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticle (ZIF-8 NP) loading in the hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) part and FK506 embedding in the hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) part. The release of Zn2+ conformed to the Ritger-Peppas kinetics which could effectively prevent bacterial infection, and the release profile of FK506 was fitted to a first-order equation which could provide persistent osteogenic stimulation for osteogenesis. The periodontal tissue regeneration data from a rat periodontitis model revealed that the multifunctional electrospun Janus nanofibers could be used as an effective bioplatform to restore alveolar bone impairment, compared with the control group. In summary, the Janus nanofibers with biphasic release characteristics quickly exert antibacterial function as well as continuously provide a microenvironment beneficial to the osteogenesis process, demonstrating its great potential for GTR treatment in dental clinic applications.

Abstract
The excessive colonization of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is responsible for the genesis of acne vulgaris, a common inflammatory disease of skin. However, the conventional anti-acne therapies are always limited by various side effects, drug resistance, and poor skin permeability. Microneedles (MNs) are emerging topical drug delivery systems capable of noninvasively breaking through the skin stratum corneum barrier to efficiently enhance the transdermal drug penetration. Herein, MNs loaded with intelligent pH-sensitive nanoplatforms were constructed for amplified chemo-photodynamic therapy against acne vulgaris, jointly exerting antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. The photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) was loaded into the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) to improve its photostability, which would be triggered by 808 nm laser irradiation to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to result in oxidative damage and disturbed metabolic activities of P. acnes. In addition to the efficient drug delivery, the ZIF-8 carrier could selectively degrade in response to the acidic microenvironment of acne lesions, and the released Zn2+ also exhibited a potent antimicrobial activity. The fabricated ZIF-8-ICG@MNs presented an outstanding synergistic anti-acne efficiency both in vitro and in vivo. This bioresponsive microneedle patch is expected to be readily adapted as a generalized, modular strategy for noninvasive therapeutics delivery against superficial skin diseases.

Abstract
Membrane-disruptive peptides/peptidomimetics (MDPs) are antimicrobials or anticarcinogens that present a general killing mechanism through the physical disruption of cell membranes, in contrast to conventional chemotherapeutic drugs, which act on precise targets such as DNA or specific enzymes. Owing to their rapid action, broad-spectrum activity, and mechanisms of action that potentially hinder the development of resistance, MDPs have been increasingly considered as future therapeutics in the drug-resistant era. Recently, growing experimental evidence has demonstrated that MDPs can also be utilized as adjuvants to enhance the therapeutic effects of other agents. In this review, we evaluate the literature around the broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties and anticancer activity of MDPs, and summarize the current development and mechanisms of MDPs alone or in combination with other agents. Notably, this review highlights recent advances in the design of various MDP-based drug delivery systems that can improve the therapeutic effect of MDPs, minimize side effects, and promote the co-delivery of multiple chemotherapeutics, for more efficient antimicrobial and anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are one of the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), which are porous coordination materials composed of bridging organic ligands and metallic ions or clusters, exhibits great potential to be used against several pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa. MOFs can show sustained release capability, high surface area, adjustable pore size and structural flexibility, which makes them good candidates for new therapeutic systems. This review provides a detailed summary of the biological application of MOFs, focussing on diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. MOFs have been reported for usage as antimicrobial agents, drug delivery systems, therapeutic composites, nanozymes and phototherapies. Furthermore, different MOF-based biosensors have also been developed to detect specific pathogens by electrochemical, fluorometric and colorimetric assays. Finally, we present limitations and perspectives in this field.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggested that bacterial infection diseases posed a great threat to human health and became the leading cause of mortality. However, the abuse of antibiotics and their residues in the environment result in the emergence and prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria. Photothermal therapy (PTT) has received considerable attention owing to its noninvasiveness, and proved to be promising in preventing bacterial infection diseases. In this review, we first surveyed the recent progress of PTT-based responsive targeting strategies for bacterial killing. We then highlighted the PTT-based smart designs of bio-films, hydrogels and synergistic methods for treating bacterial infections. Existing challenges and perspectives are also discussed to inspire the future development of a PTT-based platform for the efficient therapy of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Due to the emerging bacterial resistance and the protection of tenacious biofilms, it is hard for the single antibacterial modality to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects nowadays. In recent years, photothermal therapy (PTT)-derived multimodal synergistic treatments have received wide attention and exhibited cooperatively enhanced bactericidal activity. PTT features spatiotemporally controllable generation of hyperthermia that could eradicate bacteria without inducing resistance. The synergy of it with other treatments, such as chemotherapy, photo-dynamic/catalytic therapy (PDT/PCT), immunotherapy, and sonodynamic therapy (SDT), could lower the introduced laser density in PTT and avoid undesired overheating injury of normal tissues. Simultaneously, by heat-induced improvement of the bacterial membrane permeability, PTT is conducive for accelerated intracellular permeation of chemotherapeutic drugs as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by photosensitizers/sonosensitizers, and could promote infiltration of immune cells. Thereby, it could solve the currently existing sterilization deficiencies of other combined therapeutic modes, for example, bacterial resistance for chemotherapy, low drug permeability for PDT/PCT/SDT, adverse immunoreactions for immunotherapy, etc. Admittedly, PTT-derived synergistic treatments are becoming essential in fighting bacterial infection, especially those caused by antibiotic-resistant strains. This review firstly presents the classical and newly reported photothermal agents (PTAs) in brief. Profoundly, through the introduction of delicately designed nanocomposite platforms, we systematically discuss the versatile photothermal-derived multimodal synergistic therapy with the purpose of sterilization application. At the end, challenges to PTT-derived combinational therapy are presented and promising synergistic bactericidal prospects are anticipated.

Abstract
With the development of biomedicine and materials science, the emerging research of iron-based nanoplatforms (INPs) have provided a bright future for tumor theranostics. Thanks to its excellent biocompatibility and diverse application potential, some INPs have successfully transformed from the laboratory to the clinic and market, making it one of the most successful nanoplatforms. Further investigations associated with its enormous biomedical potential is continuing, and new features of them are being demonstrated. The discovery of ferroptosis therapy opens up new avenue for the applications of INPs in tumor therapy, which is attracting tremendous attention from worldwide. It is well established that some of the INPs are capable of triggering the tumor cell ferroptosis efficiently, accelerating the tumor cell death process. Combined with anti-tumor drugs or other tumor therapy approaches, the INPs-induced ferroptosis are expected to break the bottleneck in the treatment of drug-resistant malignant tumors. In addition, other applications of INPs in tumor theranostics field are still active. Featured with the catalase-like ability, INPs were also well documented to reverse the tumor hypoxia as nanozymes, assisting and enhancing the oxygen-consuming tumor therapy approaches. And the unique magnetic property of INPs endow it with great potential in tumor diagnosis, hyperthermal therapy and target drug delivery. It is of great significance to summarize these new advances. Herein, the latest reports of the applications of INPs in tumor theranostics are classified to expound the trend of its research and development. The featured functions of it will be discussed in detail to provide a new insight. The key issues needing to be addressed and the development prospective will be put forward. We hope that this review will be helpful to understand the ample potential of INPs in tumor theranostics field.

Abstract
Malignant tumor has become an urgent threat to global public healthcare. Because of the heterogeneity of tumor, single therapy presents great limitations while synergistic therapy is arousing much attention, which shows desperate need of intelligent carrier for co-delivery. A core‒shell dual metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) system was delicately designed in this study, which not only possessed the unique properties of both materials, but also provided two individual specific functional zones for co-drug delivery. Photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) and chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) were stepwisely encapsulated into the nanopores of MIL-88 core and ZIF-8 shell to construct a synergistic photothermal/photodynamic/chemotherapy nanoplatform. Except for efficient drug delivery, the MIL-88 could be functioned as a nanomotor to convert the excessive hydrogen peroxide at tumor microenvironment into adequate oxygen for photodynamic therapy. The DOX release from MIL-88-ICG@ZIF-8-DOX nanoparticles was triggered at tumor acidic microenvironment and further accelerated by near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. The in vivo antitumor study showed superior synergistic antitumor effect by concentrating the nanoparticles into dissolving microneedles as compared to intravenous and intratumoral injection of nanoparticles, with a significantly higher inhibition rate. It is anticipated that the multi-model synergistic system based on dual-MOFs was promising for further biomedical application.

Abstract
Purpose Indocyanine green (ICG), a near infrared (NIR) dye clinically approved in medical diagnostics, possesses great heat conversion efficiency, which renders itself as an effective photosensitizer for photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer. However, there remain bottleneck challenges for use in PTT, which are the poor photo and plasma stability of ICG. To address these problems, in this research, ICG-loaded silver nanoparticles were prepared and evaluated for the applicability as an effective agent for photothermal cancer therapy. Methods and Results PEGylated bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated silver core/shell nanoparticles were synthesized with a high loading of ICG (“PEG-BSA-AgNP/ICG”). Physical characterization was carried out using size analyzer, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry to identify successful preparation and size stability. ICG-loading content and the photothermal conversion efficiency of the particles were confirmed with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and laser instruments. In vitro studies showed that the PEG-BSA-AgNP/ICG could provide great photostability for ICG, and their applicability for PTT was verified from the cellular study results. Furthermore, when the PEG-BSA-AgNP/ICG were tested in vivo, study results exhibited that ICG could stably remain in the blood circulation for a markedly long period (plasma half-life: 112 min), and about 1.7% ID/g tissue could be accumulated in the tumor tissue at 4 h post-injection. Such nanoparticle accumulation in the tumor enabled tumor surface temperature to be risen to 50°C (required for photo-ablation) by laser irradiation and led to successful inhibition of tumor growth in the B16F10 s.c. syngeneic nude mice model, with minimal systemic toxicity. Conclusion Our findings demonstrated that PEG-BSA-AgNPs could serve as effective carriers for delivering ICG to the tumor tissue with great stability and safety.

Abstract
The progressive development of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), as a subfamily of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and their unique features, including tunable pore size, large surface area, high thermal stability, and biodegradability/biocompatibility, have made them attractive in the field of biomedicine, especially for drug delivery and biomineralization applications. The high porosity of ZIFs gives them the opportunity for encapsulating a high amount of therapeutic drugs, proteins, imaging cargos, or a combination of them to construct advanced multifunctional drug delivery systems (DDSs) with combined therapeutic and imaging capabilities. This review summarizes recent strategies on the design and fabrication of ZIF-based nansystems and their exploration in the biomedical field. First, recent developments for the adjustment of particle size, functionality, and morphology of ZIFs are discussed, which are important for achieving optimized therapeutic/theranostic nanosystems. Second, recent trends on the application of ZIF nanocarriers for the loading of diverse cargos, including anticancer medicines, antibiotic drugs, enzymes, proteins, photosensitizers, as well as imaging and photothermal agents, are investigated in order to understand how multifunctional DDSs can be designed based on the ZIF nanoparticles to treat different diseases, such as cancer and infection. Finally, prospects on the future research direction and applications of ZIF-based nanomedicines are discussed.

[PMID: 31935837 PMCID: PMC7022689 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics12010047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2019] [Revised: 12/23/2019] [Accepted: 01/03/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
With the development of modern medical technology, common diseases usually can be treated by traditional medicines and their formulation, while diseases with multiple etiologies still remain a great challenge in clinic. Nanoformulation was widely explored to address this problem. However, due to limited drug loading space of nanocarriers, co-delivery strategy usually fails to achieve sufficient loading of multiple drugs simultaneously. In this research, we explored the potential of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) crosslinked alternating copolymers MPLL-alt-PEG as both an anionic drug carrier and antimicrobial agent. The high cationic charge density of multi-armed poly(l-lysine) (MPLL) segments in MPLL-alt-PEG could endow the electrostatic encapsulation of anionic model drugs through the formation of polyion complex micelles with a MPLL/drug complex core and crosslinked PEG outer shell, enabling pH-sensitive drug release. Meanwhile, the MPLL-alt-PEG copolymer exhibits a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities against various clinically relevant microorganisms with low hemolytic activity. Studies on antibacterial mechanism revealed that MPLL-alt-PEG attacked bacteria through the membrane disruption mechanism which is similar to that of typical antimicrobial peptides. Taken together, the present study shed light on the possibility of endowing a polymeric carrier with therapeutic effect and thus offered a promising strategy for achieving a comprehensive treatment of bacterial infection-involved multifactorial diseases.
