Waterborne polyurethane magnetic nanomicelles with magnetically governed functions for breast cancer therapy. Int J Pharm 2023; 645:123356. [PMID: 37661033 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123356] [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: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
Drug delivery strategies aim to maximize a drug's therapeutic efficiency by increasing the drug's concentration at the target site while minimizing delivery to off-target tissues. There is a great deal of interest in using magnetic nanoparticles in combination with applied magnetic fields to selectively control drug accumulation and release in target tissue while minimizing effects on other tissues. In this study, a magnetic targeted drug delivery system based on waterborne polyurethane nanomicelles was prepared by encapsulating hydrophobic doxorubicin (DOX, model drug) and hydrophobic oleic acid-superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPION-OA) into the hydrophobic core of waterborne polyurethane micelles (CPUM) using the solvent evaporation method. The prepared drug-loaded magnetomicelles (CPUM-DOX-SPION) had a spherical shape with an average diameter of 158 nm. The magnetomicelles showed superparamagnetic properties with excellent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast effects and T2 relaxation in vitro. In the absence and presence of a magnetic field, the cytocompatibility and cellular uptake of the samples were assessed by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively, and the cells were imaged with a confocal microscope. Application of the magnetic field increased cellular cytotoxicity and cellular uptake in association with improved DOX delivery. In addition, the in vivo study of tumor volume showed that tumor growth of the mice group treated with CPUM-DOX-SPION in the presence of an external magnetic field was significantly retarded, with no apparent loss of body weight, compared with the same magnetomicelles in the absence of the magnetic field and with free DOX at the same dose. Moreover, the in vivo MRI experiment indicated the potential of these magnetomicelles as a probe in MRI diagnosis for tumor targeting, and the results showed that magnetically guided delivery of CPUM-SPION magnetomicelles into tumors could significantly improve the targeting efficacy. All the results suggest that the prepared novel magnetomicelles will be promising theranostic systems for effective magnetically guided delivery of chemotherapeutic agents and image-guided personalized medicine.

Abstract
Self-assembly of block copolymers has recently drawn great attention due to its remarkable performance and wide variety of applications in biomedicine, biomaterials, microelectronics, photoelectric materials, catalysts, etc. Poly(amino acid)s (PAAs), formed by introducing synthetic amino acids into copolymer backbones, are able to fold into different secondary conformations when compared with traditional amphiphilic copolymers. Apart from changing the chemical composition and degree of polymerization of copolymers, the self-assembly behaviors of PAAs could be controlled by their secondary conformations, which are more flexible and adjustable for fine structure tailoring. In this article, we summarize the latest findings on the variables that influence secondary conformations, in particular the regulation of order-to-order conformational changes and the approaches used to manage the self-assembly behaviors of PAAs. These strategies include controlling pH, redox reactions, coordination, light, temperature, and so on. Hopefully, we can provide valuable perspectives that will be useful for the future development and use of synthetic PAAs.

Acta Biomater 2023; 166:593-603. [PMID: 37220820 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.05.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Prodrug assembled nanoparticles integrate the merits of both prodrug and nanoparticle, which significantly improve pharmacokinetic parameters, enhance tumorous accumulation and decrease adverse effects, while they are challenged by disassembly upon dilution in blood, masking the superiority of nanoparticles (NPs). Herein, a reversibly "double locked" hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) prodrug nanoparticle decorated with cyclic RGD peptide (cRGD) is developed for safe and efficient chemotherapy of orthotopic lung cancer in mice. HCPT prodrug is constructed from acetal (ace)-linked cRGD-PEG-ace-HCPT-ace-acrylate polymer, which is self-assembled into the nanoparticles with "the first lock" of HCPT. Then the nanoparticles undergo the in situ UV-crosslinking of the acrylate residues for constructing "the second lock" of HCPT. The obtained "double locked" nanoparticles (T-DLHN) with simple and well-defined construction are demonstrated to possess extremely high stability against 100-fold dilution and acid-triggered "unlock" including de-crosslinking and liberation of the pristine HCPT. In an orthotopic lung tumor of mouse model, T-DLHN reveals a prolonged circulation time of about 5.0 h, superb lung tumor-homing capacity with tumorous drug uptake of about 7.15%ID/g, resulting in significantly boosted anti-tumor activity and reduced adverse effects. Hence, these nanoparticles utilizing "double lock" and acid-triggered "unlock" strategies represent a unique and promising nanoplatform for safe and efficient drug delivery. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Prodrug assembled nanoparticles have the unique properties of the well-defined structure, systemic stability, improved pharmacokinetics, passive targeting and decreased adverse effects. However, prodrug assembled NPs would disassemble against extensive dilution in the blood circulation when intravenously injected into the body. Herein, we have designed a cRGD-directed reversibly "double-locked" HCPT prodrug nanoparticle (T-DLHN) for safe and efficient chemotherapy of orthotopic A549 human lung tumor xenografts. Upon intravenous injection, T-DLHN can overcome the shortcoming of disassembly against extensive dilution, prolong the circulation time due to the "double locked" configuration and then mediate targeted drug delivery into the tumors. After uptaken into the cells, T-DLHN undergoes concurrent de-crosslinking and liberation of HCPT under acidic condition for enhanced chemotherapeutic efficacy with negligible adverse effects.

Abstract
The ability of nanocarriers to enter tumor cells can be enhanced by positive surface charge. Nonetheless, the relationship between the spatial distributions of cationic groups and the endocytosis and tumor penetration of nanocarriers remains largely elusive. Here, using quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) as a model cationic group, a series of hybrid micelles (HMs) bearing QAS with different spatial distributions were prepared from star-shaped polymers with well-defined molecular architectures. The structural characteristics of HM, such as spatial location of QAS and local poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) density near QAS, were investigated by both experimental techniques and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation. We show that the drug carriers with QAS extending to the micellar outer space allows QAS to facilitate cell surface binding with minimized hindrance, resulting in greatly enhanced endocytosis compared with nanocarriers with QAS attached onto the micellar surface or shielded by a PEG corona. This study offers cues for future development of tumor-penetrating drug delivery systems.

Acid/reduction dual-sensitive amphiphilic graft polyurethane with folic acid and detachable poly(ethylene glycol) as anticancer drug delivery carrier. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 222:113084. [PMID: 36549246 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.113084] [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: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
In order to not only improve the stability of nanomicelles in blood circulation but also promote the cellular uptake in tumors and rapidly release the encapsulated drugs in tumor cells, a kind of acid/reduction dual-sensitive amphiphilic graft polyurethane with folic acid and detachable poly(ethylene glycol) (FA-PUSS-gimi-mPEG) was synthesized by grafting folic acid and monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) to the polyurethane side chain. FA-PUSS-gimi-mPEG could self-assemble in aqueous solution to form negatively charged nanomicelles, which endowed them good stability under normal physiological condition. Using ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (UV-vis) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), it was found that the hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) layer of FA-PUSS-gimi-mPEG micelles could be detached due to the cleavage of benzoic-imine bond under slightly acidic condition, which resulted in reversing the charge of the micellar surface and exposing folic acid to the micellar surface. FA-PUSS-gimi-mPEG micelles could load doxorubicin (DOX), moreover the drug release rate was faster at pH 5.0 and 10 mM glutathione (GSH) than that under normal physiological condition. The results of cell experiments further demonstrated that FA-PUSS-gimi-mPEG micelles had acid/reduction dual-sensitive property. The changes in the structure of FA-PUSS-gimi-mPEG micelles could enhance the cellular uptake under acid condition and the micelles could accelerate the drug release in tumor cells due to the presence of disulfide bonds in the polymer. Therefore, FA-PUSS-gimi-mPEG micelles could efficiently deliver anticancer drug into tumor cells and enhance the inhibition of cellular proliferation through multi-effect synergy.

Abstract
Biofilms are known to be difficult to eradicate and control, complicating human infections and marine biofouling. In this study, self-polishing and anti-fouling waterborne polyurethane coatings synthesized from gemini quaternary ammonium salts (GQAS), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and polycaprolactone diol (PCL) demonstrate excellent antibiofilm efficacy. Their anti-fouling and anti-biofilm performance was confirmed by a culture-based method in broth media, with the biofilm formation factor against Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative bacterial strains (E. coli) for 2 days. The results indicate that polyurethane coatings have excellent anti-biofilm activity when the content of GQAS reached 8.5 wt% against S. aureus, and 15.8 wt% against E. coli. The resulting waterborne polyurethane coatings demonstrate both hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation, and the surface erosion enzymatic degradation mechanism enables them with good self-polishing capability. The extracts cyto-toxicity of these polyurethane coatings and degradation liquids was also systematically studied; they could be degraded to non-toxic or low toxic compositions. This study shows the possibility to achieve potent self-polishing and anti-biofilm efficacy by integrating antibacterial GQAS, PEG, and PCL into waterborne polyurethane coatings.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticle (IONPs) have become a subject of interest in various biomedical fields due to their magnetism and biocompatibility. They can be utilized as heat mediators in magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) or as contrast media in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound (US). In addition, their high drug-loading capacity enabled them to be therapeutic agent transporters for malignancy treatment. Hence, smartening them allows for an intelligent controlled drug release (CDR) and targeted drug delivery (TDD). Smart magnetic nanoparticles (SMNPs) can overcome the impediments faced by classical chemo-treatment strategies, since they can be navigated and release drug via external or internal stimuli. Recently, they have been synchronized with other modalities, e.g., MRI, MHT, US, and for dual/multimodal theranostic applications in a single platform. Herein, we provide an overview of the attributes of MNPs for cancer theranostic application, fabrication procedures, surface coatings, targeting approaches, and recent advancement of SMNPs. Even though MNPs feature numerous privileges over chemotherapy agents, obstacles remain in clinical usage. This review in particular covers the clinical predicaments faced by SMNPs and future research scopes in the field of SMNPs for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Ultrasmall nanoparticle contrast agents provide dual-mode MRI. However, the application of ultrasmall nanoparticle contrast agents is limited by low manufacturing outputs and cumbersome preparation processes. Herein, we report a novel continuous-flow coprecipitation method for the preparation of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles magnetic fluid (CFCPFe) coated with ultrasmall cysteine-terminated polymethacrylic acid (Cys-PMAA). The preparation process is more coherent, simpler, and less expensive. Compared with magnetic fluids prepared by the conventional method (Cys-PMAA@Fe3O4), CFCPFe has smaller particle sizes (3.27 ± 0.93 nm). Moreover, CFCPFe demonstrates excellent stability for >180 days with different pH values (pH = 2-12) and salt concentrations (up to 2 mol/L). In addition, HEK293T cytotoxicity tests, hemolysis tests, and H&E tissue sections show excellent in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility. In vitro magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1.5 T shows that the r2 value (50.51 mM-1·s-1) of CFCPFe is slightly lower than that of Combidex (r2 = 65 mM-1·s-1) and that the r1 value (9.54 mM-1·s-1) is 2.7 times higher than that of Gd-DTPA (r1 = 3.5 mM-1·s-1). Finally, in vivo imaging shows that CFCPFe reaches the tumor region of the mouse liver cancer model, and a small tumor can be observed in dual-mode imaging. This work offers an effective method for the preparation of a low-cost, stable, and biocompatible ultrasmall contrast agent exhibiting a strong magnetic-imaging effect for dual-mode imaging.

Abstract
With the intensive development of polymeric biomaterials in recent years, research using drug delivery systems (DDSs) has become an essential strategy for cancer therapy. Various DDSs are expected to have more advantages in anti-neoplastic effects, including easy preparation, high pharmacology efficiency, low toxicity, tumor-targeting ability, and high drug-controlled release. Polyurethanes (PUs) are a very important kind of polymers widely used in medicine, pharmacy, and biomaterial engineering. Biodegradable and non-biodegradable PUs are a significant group of these biomaterials. PUs can be synthesized by adequately selecting building blocks (a polyol, a di- or multi-isocyanate, and a chain extender) with suitable physicochemical and biological properties for applications in anti-cancer DDSs technology. Currently, there are few comprehensive reports on a summary of polyurethane DDSs (PU-DDSs) applied for tumor therapy. This study reviewed state-of-the-art PUs designed for anti-cancer PU-DDSs. We studied successful applications and prospects for further development of effective methods for obtaining PUs as biomaterials for oncology.

Abstract
The construction of polyurethanes (PUs) with sequence-controlled block structures remains a serious challenge. Here, we report the precise synthesis of PUs with desirable molecular weight, narrow molecular weight distribution, and controlled block sequences from commercially available monomers. The synthetic procedure is derived from a liquid-phase synthetic methodology, which involves diisocyanate-based iterative protocols in combination with a convergent strategy. Furthermore, a pair of multifunctional PUs with different sequence orders of cationic and anion segments were prepared. We show that the sequence order of functional segments presents an impact on the self-assembly behavior and results in unexpected surface charges of assembled micelles, thereby affecting the protein absorption, cell internalization, biodistribution and antitumor effect of the nanocarriers in vitro and in vivo. This work provides a versatile platform for the development of precise multiblock PUs with structural complexity and functional diversity, and will greatly facilitate the clinical translation of PUs in biomedicine.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major public health problem. Ursolic acid (UA) is reported to be effective in inhibiting GC; however, its low solubility and poor biocompatibility have greatly hindered its clinical application. Herein, an innovative reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive UA dimeric prodrug is developed by coupling two UA molecules via a ROS-cleavable linkage, which can self-assemble into stable nanoparticles in the presence of surfactant. This new UA-based delivery system comprises the following major components: (I) dimeric prodrug inner core that can achieve high drug-loading (55%, w/w) and undergo rapid and selective conversion into intact drug molecules in response to ROS; (II) a polyethylene glycol (PEG) shell to improve colloid stability and extend blood circulation, and (III) surface-modified internalizing RGD (iRGD) to increase tumor targeting. Enhancement of the antitumor effect of this delivery system was demonstrated against GC tumors in vitro and in vivo. This novel approach offers the potential for clinical applications of UA.

Abstract
Over the years, click and bioorthogonal reactions have been the subject of considerable research efforts. These high-performance chemical reactions have been developed to meet requirements not often provided by the chemical reactions commonly used today in the biological environment, such as selectivity, rapid reaction rate, and biocompatibility. Click and bioorthogonal reactions have been attracting increasing attention in the biomedical field for the engineering of nanomedicines. In this review, we study a compilation of articles from 2014 to the present, using the terms "click chemistry and nanoparticles (NPs)" to highlight the application of this type of chemistry for applications involving NPs intended for biomedical applications. This study identifies the main strategies offered by click and bioorthogonal chemistry, with respect to passive and active targeting, for NP functionalization with specific and multiple properties for imaging and cancer therapy. In the final part, a novel and promising approach for "two step" targeting of NPs, called pretargeting (PT), is also discussed; the principle of this strategy as well as all the studies listed from 2014 to the present are presented in more detail.

Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles have been widely used as carriers of drugs and bioimaging agents due to their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and structural versatility. The principal application of polymeric nanoparticles in medicine is for cancer therapy, with increased tumor accumulation, precision delivery of anticancer drugs to target sites, higher solubility of pharmaceutical properties and lower systemic toxicity. Recently, the stimuli-responsive polymeric nanoplatforms attracted more and more attention because they can change their physicochemical properties responding to the stimuli conditions, such as low pH, enzyme, redox agents, hypoxia, light, temperature, magnetic field, ultrasound, and so on. Moreover, the unique properties of stimuli-responsive polymeric nanocarriers in target tissues may significantly improve the bioactivity of delivered agents for cancer treatment. This review introduces stimuli-responsive polymeric nanoparticles and their applications in tumor theranostics with the loading of chemical drugs, nucleic drugs and imaging molecules. In addition, we discuss the strategy for designing multifunctional polymeric nanocarriers and provide the perspective for the clinical applications of these stimuli-responsive polymeric nanoplatforms.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) have been considered as the most malignant subtype of breast cancer with leading incidence and mortality among females. Herein, photo-responsive prodrug nanoparticles (AlP/CPT-NPs) were designed with efficient cytoplasmic delivery of anti-cancer agent for cooperative photodynamic-chemotherapy. AlP/CPT-NPs were prepared using photosensitizer Al(III) phthalocyanine chloride disulfonic acid (AlP) and ROS-activatable camptothecin prodrug (CPT-PD). AlP/CPT-NPs could induce intracellular 1O2 generation upon light exposure, which not only initiate immediate disassembly of AlP/CPT-NPs but also promote cytoplasmic delivery of CPT through 1O2-mediated lysosomal rupture. The released intracellular CPT could be translocated into nuclei in only 5 min post-irradiation. Consequently, AlP/CPT-NPs efficiently suppressed the tumor growth and metastasis of TNBC in a spatiotemporally controlled manner, providing a promising option for effective treatment of metastatic TNBC. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Breast cancer is a complex disease with leading incidence among females, in which triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered as the most malignant subtype with increased risk of resistance, recurrence and metastasis. Herein, we designed photo-responsive prodrug nanoparticles (AlP/CPT-NPs) for synergistic treatment of metastatic TNBC. Upon 660 nm light exposure, the 1O2 generated by AlP/CPT-NPs could initiate immediate disassembly of AlP/CPT-NPs and further promote cytoplasmic delivery of the therapeutic payloads (camptothecin, CPT). The prepared AlP/CPT-NPs induced potent in vivo phototherapeutic damage through photodynamic-chemotherapy, resulting in complete tumor ablation with metastasis suppression.

Abstract
The conventional techniques in treating cancerous cells in a human body are conducted either by surgery or oral medication or injecting anticancer drugs, which may have several side effects on healthy cells. Compared to these techniques, site-specific delivery of drugs can be one of the pillars of cancer treatment. It could allow for better treatment efficiency and lesser adverse effects. A promising drug delivery approach is magnetic drug targeting, which can be realized if a drug delivery vehicle possesses an intense magnetic moment. Here, we discuss different types of magnetic nanomaterials, which can be used as magnetic drug delivery vehicles, approaches to magnetically targeted delivery, and promising strategies for the enhancement of the imaging-guided delivery and the therapeutic action. The present study aims to discuss all significant factors that influence the process of magnetic drug targeting through microvessels, such as fluidic force, magnetic force, particle-particle interaction, inertia force, Saffman lift force, and permeability of the microvessel. We consider the nature of blood flow as non-Newtonian in single-phase and two-phase models so that a realistic rheological model for an effective magnetic drug targeting can be established through proper comparison. Here we present a comprehensive mathematical model on magnetic drug targeting that could help the medical experts and biomedical engineers in applying the methodology of magnetic drug targeting effectively to cure cancerous disease.

Abstract
The deposition of pesticides and their retention on plant surfaces are critical challenges for modern precision agriculture, which directly affect phytosanitary treatment, bioavailability, efficacy, and the loss of pesticides. Herein, a novel and eco-friendly waterborne polyurethane delivery system was developed to enhance the spray deposition and pesticide retention on plant surfaces. More specifically, biobased cationic and anionic waterborne polyurethane dispersions were synthesized from castor oil. Both cationic and anionic polyurethane dispersions exhibited remarkable microstructural, amphiphilic, and nanoparticle morphologies with a core-shell structure that served to encapsulate a biopesticide (azadirachtin) in their hydrophobic cores (WPU-ACT). The results indicated that the cationic WPU-ACT carriers exhibited a better sustained release behavior and a better protective effect from light and heat for azadirachtin. In addition, the simultaneous spray of anionic and cationic WPU-ACT significantly enhanced the spray deposition and prolonged the retention of pesticides due to the reduced surface tension and surface precipitation induced by the electrostatic interaction when two droplets with opposite charges come into contact with each other. A field efficacy assessment also indicated that the simultaneous spray of anionic and cationic WPU-ACT could control the infestation of brown planthopper in rice crops. Castor oil-based waterborne polyurethanes in this study work as an efficient pesticide delivery system by exhibiting enhanced deposition, rainfastness, retention ability, protection, and sustained release behavior, holding great promise for spraying pesticide formulations in modern and environmentally friendly agricultural applications.

Abstract
Theranostics is a fast-growing field due to demands for new, efficient therapeutics which could be precisely delivered to the target site using multimodal imaging with enhancing auxiliary actions. In this review article we discuss theranostic nanoplatforms containing polymers and magnetic nanoparticles along with other components. Magnetic nanoparticles allow for both diagnostic and therapeutic (hyperthermia) capabilities, while polymers can be reservoirs for drugs and are easily functionalized for cell targeting. We focus on the most important design strategies to achieve optimal theranostic effects as well as the roles of different components included in theranostics, reviewing the literature from the last 5 years.

Abstract
Antibody-targeted nanoparticles have shown exceptional promise as delivery vehicles for anticancer drugs, although manufacturability challenges have hampered clinical progress. These include the potential for uncontrolled and random antibody conjugation, resulting in masked or inactive paratopes and unwanted Fc domain interactions. To circumvent these issues, we show that the interchain disulfide of cetuximab F(ab) may be selectively re-bridged with a strained alkyne handle, to permit 'click' coupling to azide-capped nanoparticles in a highly uniform and oriented manner. When compared to conventional carbodiimide chemistry, this conjugation approach leads to the generation of nanoparticles with a higher surface loading of cetuximab F(ab) and with markedly improved ability to bind to the target epidermal growth factor receptor. Moreover, we show that entrapment of a camptothecin payload within these nanoparticles can enhance drug targeting to antigen-expressing pancreatic cancer cells, resulting in superior cytotoxicity versus the conventional nanoformulation. Collectively, this work highlights the critical need to develop refined methods for the construction of targeted nanoparticles that will accelerate their clinical translation through improved performance and manufacturability.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional contrast agents (CAs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They have been extensively investigated as CAs due to their high biocompatibility and excellent magnetic properties. Furthermore, the ease of functionalization of their surfaces with different types of ligands (antibodies, peptides, sugars, etc.) opens up the possibility of carrying out molecular MRI. Thus, IONPs functionalized with epithelial growth factor receptor antibodies, short peptides, like RGD, or aptamers, among others, have been proposed for the diagnosis of various types of cancer, including breast, stomach, colon, kidney, liver or brain cancer. In addition to cancer diagnosis, different types of IONPs have been developed for other applications, such as the detection of brain inflammation or the early diagnosis of thrombosis. This review addresses key aspects in the development of IONPs for MRI applications, namely, synthesis of the inorganic core, functionalization processes to make IONPs biocompatible and also to target them to specific tissues or cells, and finally in vivo studies in animal models, with special emphasis on tumor models.

Abstract
Physical or chemical crosslinking of polymeric micelles has emerged as a straightforward approach to overcome the intrinsic instability of assemblies. However, the crosslinking process may compromise the responsivity of nanosystems and result in inefficient release of payloads. To address this dilemma, a crosslinking induced reassembly (CIRA) strategy is reported here to simultaneously increase the kinetic and thermodynamic stability and redox-responsivity of polymeric micelles. It is found that the click crosslinking of a model multiblock polyurethane at the micellar interface induces microphase separation between the soft and hard segments. The aggregation of hard domains gathers liable disulfide linkages around the interlayer of micelles, which could facilitate the attack of reducing agents and act as an intelligent on-off switch for high stability and triggered release. As a result, the CIRA approach enables an enhanced tumor targeting, improved biodistribution and excellent therapeutic efficacy in vivo. This work provides a facile and versatile platform for controlled delivery applications.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the major obstacles for tumor therapy. Intake by receptor-mediated endocytosis enables molecules to bypass ABC transporter efflux, which is the primary mechanism of MDR. Here, we developed a novel pH/enzyme dual-responsive polypeptide prodrug to reverse multidrug resistance. This drug is composed of pH/MMP2-sensitive nanoparticles (MSNPs) self-assembled from mPEG-peptide-DOX. MSNPs can overcome sequential physiological barriers of multidrug resistance by prolonging the circulation time through PEGylation, enhancing tumor accumulation through passive targeting, increasing tumor penetration by enzyme-sensitive PEG deshielding, bypassing ABC transporter efflux by undergoing receptor-mediated endocytosis, and inducing sufficient DOX release from nanoparticles triggered by lysosomal pH. The reversal of MDR by MSNPs was evaluated in MCF-7/ADR cells and nude mice bearing tumors consisting of MCF-7/ADR cells. Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that the MSNPs can effectively reverse MDR. Thus, MSNPs may constitute a potentially promising strategy for overcoming MDR in clinical applications.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticle-embedded polymeric micelles (MNP-PMs) prepared with amphipathic polymers are an important sustained-release carrier for hydrophobic drugs. The amphipathic chitosan derivatives (ACDs) based stimuli-responsive slow-release carriers have attracted considerable attentions because of the bioactivities and modifiability of chitosan. In the current study, a series of ACDs including alkylated N-(2-hydroxy) propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium chitosan chloride (alkyl-HTCC) and alkylated polyethylene glycol N-(2-hydroxy) propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium chitosan chloride (alkyl-PEG-HTCC) were prepared by the reductive amination of HTCC and PEG-HTCC, and their structures and properties were characterized. Octyl-HTCC/O-Fe3O4 and octyl-PEG-HTCC/O-Fe3O4 MNP-PMs were prepared by the hydrophobic interactions between the corresponding ACDs and oil soluble Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (O-Fe3O4 MNPs), and characterized for the structure, magnetic performance and surface charge state. Their potential application as a drug delivery carrier was investigated upon the embedding efficiency and pH dependent sustained-release performance using the hydrophobic drug, paclitaxel (PTX), as a model drug. Our work has provided a new application strategy of ACDs in the multi-functional drug delivery carrier.

Abstract
Bacteria can increase drug resistance by forming bacterial biofilms. Once the biofilm is formed, it becomes difficult to remove or kill the related bacteria completely by antibiotics and other antibacterial agents because these antibacterial agents cannot easily break through the biofilm matrix barrier and reach the internal bacteria. Therefore, we synthesized magnetite hybrid nanocomplexes that can penetrate and disrupt bacterial biofilms. The obtained nanocomposites are composed of multinucleated iron oxides and Ag seeds. The outer iron oxides can help the internal Ag nanoparticles penetrate the bacterial biofilms, hence killing the internal bacteria and disrupting the biofilms. We took advantage of E. coli and P. aeruginosa bacteria to test the antibacterial properties of the magnetite hybrid nanocomplexes. When planktonic E. coli and P. aeruginosa bacteria were incubated with 100 μg mL-1 magnetite hybrid nanocomplexes for 30 min, almost all the bacteria were killed. When the obtained biofilms of E. coli and P. aeruginosa were treated with magnetite hybrid nanocomplexes (10 μg mL-1 and 100 μg mL-1), the survival of E. coli and P. aeruginosa biofilms with a magnetic field showed a big decrease compared with that without a magnetic field. Therefore, the as-synthesized nanocomposites have promising potential as antimicrobial agents for killing bacteria and disrupting biofilms in the presence of a magnetic field, and thus should be further studied for a wide range of antibacterial applications.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural ligand of tumor-targeted drug delivery systems (DDS) due to the relevant CD44 receptor overexpressed on tumor cell membranes. However, other HA receptors (HARE and LYVE-1) are also overexpressing in the reticuloendothelial system (RES). Therefore, polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification of HA-based DDS is necessary to reduce RES capture. Unfortunately, pegylation remarkably inhibits tumor cellular uptake and endosomal escapement, significantly compromising the in vivo antitumor efficacy. Herein, we developed a Dox-loaded HA-based transformable supramolecular nanoplatform (Dox/HCVBP) to overcome this dilemma. Dox/HCVBP contains a tumor extracellular acidity-sensitive detachable PEG shell achieved by a benzoic imine linkage. The in vitro and in vivo investigations further demonstrated that Dox/HCVBP could be in a "stealth" state at blood stream for a long circulation time due to the buried HA ligands and the minimized nonspecific interaction by PEG shell. However, it could transform into a "recognition" state under the tumor acidic microenvironment for efficient tumor cellular uptake due to the direct exposure of active targeting ligand HA following PEG shell detachment. Such a transformative concept provides a promising strategy to resolve the dilemma of natural ligand-based DDS with conflicting two processes of tumor cellular uptake and in vivo nonspecific biodistribution.

Abstract
Nanocarriers with strong tumor cell targeting ability have been expected to overcome limitations of cancer chemotherapy. Herein, cell membrane mimetic micelles were prepared from a random copolymer (PMNCF) containing cell membrane phosphorylcholine zwitterion, cholesterol, and tumor cell targeting folic acid (FA) at the side chain ends. Surface orientation of the FA ligand was optimized during PMNCF micelle preparation by controlling solvent solubility for FA. The out-oriented ligands on the micelles were immobilized by the strongly associated hydration layer around the closely packed phosphorylcholine zwitterions. The doxorubicin (DOX) loaded PMNCF micelles were demonstrated to reduce normal cell toxicity to less than 20%. More significantly, HeLa and MCF-7 tumor cell killing efficacy of the optimized formulation was enhanced to 160% compared with that of free DOX. The excellent performances of the drug loaded PMNCF micelles on both tumor cell killing and normal cell toxicity reducing efficacies reveal great potential for developing advanced drug delivery system.

Abstract
In this paper, we synthesized a biodegradable amphiphilic polymer of polyurethane-polyethylene glycol with disulfide bonds in the main chain (PEG-PU(SS)-PEG). DLS and SEM showed that the polymer could self-assemble into micelles in aqueous solution and could be used to load the hydrophobic anticancer drug DOX. Intriguingly, drug release in vitro indicated that DOX-loaded PEG-PU(SS)-PEG micelles had good stability under the extracellular physiological environment, but the disulfide bonds broke rapidly and DOX was released quickly under the intracellular reducing conditions. CCK-8 assays showed that DOX-loaded PEG-PU(SS)-PEG micelles had a high in vitro antitumor activity in C6 cells, whereas blank PEG-PU(SS)-PEG micelles were nontoxic to C6 cells. It was also found that there was strong and persistent accumulation of DOX-loaded PEG-PU(SS)-PEG as compared with PEG-PU-PEG both by the cell internalization tests and the flow cytometry measurements. Hence, PEG-PU(SS)-PEG micelles will have a potential use for clinical treatment of cancer in the future.

Abstract
Cancer is a major disease that seriously threatens human health and is a leading cause of human death. At present, the commonly used cancer treatment methods are surgical therapy, chemical drug therapy and radiation therapy (RT). However, these treatments all have their own shortcomings and cannot perfectly meet the needs of clinical diagnosis and treatment. It is of great significance to improve the diagnosis and treatment level, so that the curative effect and quality of life of tumor patients can be improved. The rapid development of nanotechnology has brought hope to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and the appearance of biofunctional magnetic hybrid nanomaterials (MHNs) has provided a new possibilities for the integration of cancer diagnosis and treatment. As a promising research direction, the multifunctional nanoplatform integrates imaging diagnosis, drug therapy and drug delivery. Better treatment effects and fewer side effects can be achieved by optimizing materials to build stable, efficient, and safe MHNs with combined functions of multimodal imaging and various treatments. This review focuses on not only the research progress of MHNs but also their applications and development trend in the integration of cancer diagnosis and treatment. A description of the applications of MHN structure optimization for both magnetic resonance imaging-based multimodal diagnosis and cancer therapy is given. Furthermore, RT is introduced and the development of MHNs for diagnosis and treatment system is investigated.

Abstract
Cationic gemini quaternary ammonium (GQA) has been used as a cell internalization promoter to improve the permeability of the cell membrane and enhance the cellular uptake. However, the effect of the alkyl chain length on the cellular properties of nanocarriers has not been elucidated yet. In this study, we developed a series of polyurethane micelles containing GQAs with various alkyl chain lengths. The alteration of the gemini alkyl chain length was found to change the distribution of GQA surfactants in the micellar structure and affect the surface charge exposure, stability, and the protein absorption properties of nanocarriers. Moreover, we also clarified the role of the alkyl chain length in tumor cell internalization and macrophage uptake of polyurethane micelles. This work provides a new understanding on the effect of the GQA alkyl chain length on the physicochemical and biological properties of nanomedicines, and offers guidance on the rational design of effective drug delivery systems where the issue of functional group exposure at the micellar surface should be considered.

Abstract
The development of smart delivery systems that are robust in circulation and quickly release drugs following selective internalization into target cancer cells is a key to precision cancer therapy. Interestingly, reduction-sensitive polymeric nanomedicines showing high plasma stability and triggered cytoplasmic drug release behavior have recently emerged as one of the most exciting platforms for targeted delivery of various anticancer drugs including small chemical drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids. In vivo studies in varying tumor models reveal that these reduction-sensitive multifunctional nanomedicines outperform the currently used clinical formulations and reduction-insensitive counterparts, bringing about not only significantly enhanced tumor selectivity, accumulation and inhibition efficacy but also markedly reduced systemic toxicity and improved therapeutic index. In this review, we will highlight the cutting-edge advancement with a focus on in vivo performances as well as future perspectives on reduction-sensitive polymeric nanomedicines for targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
Polymeric micelles (PMs) have been widely investigated as nanocarriers for drug delivery and cancer treatments due to their excellent physicochemical properties, drug loading and release capacities, facile preparation methods, biocompatibility, and tumor targetability. They can be easily engineered with various functional moieties to further improve their performance in terms of bioavailability, circulation time, tumor specificity, and anticancer activity. The stimuli-sensitive PMs capable of responding to various extra- and intracellular biological stimuli (eg, acidic pH, altered redox potential, and upregulated enzyme), as well as external artificial stimuli (eg, magnetic field, light, temperature, and ultrasound), are considered as “smart” nanocarriers for delivery of anticancer drugs and/or imaging agents for various therapeutic and diagnostic applications. In this article, the recent advances in the development of stimuli-responsive PMs for drug delivery, imaging, and cancer therapy are reviewed. The article covers the generalities of stimuli-responsive PMs with a focus on their major delivery strategies and newly emerging technologies/nanomaterials, discusses their drawbacks and limitations, and provides their future perspectives.

Abstract
Most nanocarriers possess low drug loading, resulting in frequently repeated administration and thereby high cost and increased side effects. Furthermore, the characteristics of nanocarrier materials, especially the drug loading capacity, plays a vital role in the drug delivery efficacy. In this review, we focus on the readily translatable polymeric drug delivery systems with high drug loading, which are comprised of biocompatible polymers such as poly(ethylene glycol), poly( N-vinylpyrrolidone), polyoxazoline, natural proteins like albumin and casein, non-natural proteins such as recombinant elastin-like polypeptides, as well as nucleic acids. At the end of this review, applications of these polymeric nanocarriers on the delivery of proteins and gene drugs are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Background Click chemistry is termed as a group of chemical reactions with favorable reaction rate and orthogonality. Recently, click chemistry is paving the way for novel innovations in biomedical science, and nanoparticle research is a representative example where click chemistry showed its promising potential. Challenging trials with nanoparticles has been reported based on click chemistry including copper-catalyzed cycloaddition, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition, and inverse-demand Diels-Alder reaction. Main body Herein, we provide an update on recent application of click chemistry in nanoparticle research, particularly nanoparticle modification and its targeted delivery. In nanoparticle modification, click chemistry has been generally used to modify biological ligands after synthesizing nanoparticles without changing the function of nanoparticles. Also, click chemistry in vivo can enhance targeting ability of nanoparticles to disease site. Conclusion These applications in nanoparticle research were hard or impossible in case of traditional chemical reactions and demonstrating the great utility of click chemistry.
