Abstract
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) is a central player in lipid metabolism, catalyzing the first step to fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Inhibiting CPT1A, especially in the brain, can have several pharmacological benefits, such as in treating obesity and brain cancer. C75-CoA is a strong competitive inhibitor of CPT1A. However, due to its negatively charged nature, it has low cellular permeability. Herein, we report the use of poly-ion complex (PIC) micelles to deliver the specific CPT1A inhibitors (±)-, (+)-, and (-)-C75-CoA into U87MG glioma cells and GT1-7 neurons. PIC micelles were formed through charge-neutralization of the cargo with the cationic side chain of PEG-poly{N-[N'-(2-aminoethyl)-2-aminoethyl]aspartamide} (PEG-PAsp(DET)), forming particles with 55 to 65 nm diameter. Upon short-term incubation with cells, the micelle-encapsulated CPT1A inhibitors resulted in up to 5-fold reduction of ATP synthesis compared to the free drug, without an apparent decline in cell viability. Micelle treatment showed a discernible decrease in 14C-palmitate oxidation into CO2 and acid-soluble metabolites, confirming that the substantial lowering of ATP production has resulted from FAO inhibition. Micelle treatment also diminished IC50 by 2 to 4-fold over the free drug-treated U87MG after long-term incubation. To measure the cellular uptake of these CoA-adduct loaded PIC micelles, we synthesized a fluorescent CoA derivative and prepared Fluor-CoA micelles which showed efficient internalization in the cell lines, both in 2D and 3D culture models, especially in neurons where uptake reached up to 3-fold over the free dye. Our results starkly demonstrate that the PIC micelles are a promising delivery platform for anionic inhibitors of CPT1A in glioma cells and neurons, laying the groundwork for future research or clinical applications.

Abstract
The crucial balance of stability in blood-circulation and tumor-specific delivery has been suggested as one of the challenges for effective bench-to-bedside translation of nanomedicines (NMs). Herein, we developed a supramolecularly enabled tumor-extracellular (Tex) pH-triggered NM that can maintain the micellar structure with the entrapped-drug during systemic circulation and progressively release drug in the tumor by rightly sensing heterogeneous tumor-pH. Desacetylvinblastine hydrazide (DAVBNH), a derivative of potent anticancer drug vinblastine, was conjugated to an aliphatic ketone-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(amino acid) copolymer and the hydrolytic stability of the derived hydrazone bond was efficiently tailored by exploiting the compartmentalized structure of polymer micelle. We confirmed an effective and safe therapeutic application of Tex pH-sensitive DAVBNH-loaded micelle (Tex-micelle) in orthotopic glioblastoma (GBM) models, extending median survival to 1.4 times in GBM xenograft and 2.6 times in GBM syngeneic model, compared to that of the free DAVBNH. The work presented here offers novel chemical insights into the molecular design of smart NMs correctly sensing Tex-pH via programmed functionalities. The practical engineering strategy based on a clinically relevant NM platform, and the encouraging therapeutic application of Tex-micelle in GBM, one of the most lethal human cancers, thus suggests the potential clinical translation of this system against other types of common cancers, including GBM.

Abstract
Medical treatments of neuron-related disorders are limited due to the difficulty of targeting brain cells. Major drawbacks are the presence of the blood-brain barrier and the lack of specificity of the drugs for the diseased cells. Nanomedicine-based approaches provide promising opportunities for overcoming these limitations. Although many previous reviews are focused on brain targeting with nanomedicines in general, none of those are concerned explicitly on the neurons, while targeting neuronal cells in central nervous diseases is now one of the biggest challenges in nanomedicine and neuroscience. We review the most relevant advances in nanomedicine design and strategies for neuronal drug delivery that might successfully bridge the gap between laboratory and bedside treatment in neurology.
