Abstract
Chiral 2-halopropionic acids and their derivatives were synthesized and their properties studied computationally using Raman and Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy. For neat acids present as liquids small amount of water led to significant changes in the spectra, resulting even to flipping of some ROA band signs. We find this interesting for the role water plays in interpretation of vibrational optical activity spectra of biomolecules. Analysis of the results shows that when the water is present, it can change ROA band signs due to the changes in acidobasic equilibrium. Corresponding esters without acidic hydrogens do not exhibit such effects.

Abstract
The science related to biomaterials and tissue engineering accounts for a growing part of our knowledge. Surface modifications of biomaterials, their performance in vitro, and the interaction between them and surrounding tissues are gaining more and more attention. It is because we are interested in finding sophisticated materials that help us to treat or mitigate different disorders. Therefore, efficient methods for surface analysis are needed. Several methods are routinely applied to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the biomaterial surface. Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) techniques are able to measure the information about molecular composition simultaneously from biomaterial and adjacent tissue. That is why it can answer the questions connected with biomaterial characteristics and their biological influence. Moreover, this kind of analysis does not demand any antibodies or dyes that may influence the studied items. It means that we can correlate surface chemistry with a biological response without any modification that could distort the image. In our review, we presented examples of biomaterials analyzed by MSI techniques to indicate the utility of SIMS, MALDI, and DESI-three major ones in the field of biomaterials applications. Examples include biomaterials used to treat vascular system diseases, bone implants with the effects of implanted material on adjacent tissues, nanofibers and membranes monitored by mass spectrometry-related techniques, analyses of drug-eluting long-acting parenteral (LAPs) implants and microspheres where MSI serves as a quality control system.

Abstract
To improve the reliability of in vitro release studies of drug delivery systems, we developed a novel in vitro method for the evaluation of drug release from polymeric micelles in complex biological media. Polymeric micelles based on poly(N-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylamide)-block-poly(N-2-benzoyloxypropyl methacrylamide) (p(HPMAm)-b-p(HPMAm-Bz)) of which 10% of the chains was functionalized with biotin at the p(HPMAm) terminus were prepared using a solvent extraction method. The size of the micelles when loaded with a hydrophobic agent, namely paclitaxel (a clinically used cytostatic drug) or curcumin (a compound with multiple pharmacological activities), was around 65 nm. The biotin decoration allowed the binding of the micelles to streptavidin-coated magnetic beads which occurred within 10 min and reached a binding efficiency of 90 ± 6%. Drug release in different media was studied after the magnetic separation of micelles bound to the streptavidin-coated beads, by determination of the released drug in the media as well as the retained drug in the micellar fraction bound to the beads. The in vitro release of paclitaxel and curcumin at 37 °C in PBS, PBS containing 2% v/v Tween 80, PBS containing 4.5% w/v bovine serum albumin, mouse plasma, and whole mouse blood was highly medium-dependent. In all media studied, paclitaxel showed superior micellar retention compared to curcumin. Importantly, the presence of serum proteins accelerated the release of both paclitaxel and curcumin. The results presented in this study show great potential for predicting drug release from nanomedicines in biological media which in turn is crucial for their further pharmaceutical development.

Abstract
The use of nanoparticles as carriers is an extremely promising way for administration of therapeutic agents, such as drug molecules, proteins and nucleic acids. Such nanocarriers (NCs) can increase the solubility of hydrophobic compounds, protect their cargo from the environment, and if properly functionalized, deliver it to specific target cells and tissues. Polymer-based NCs are especially promising, because they offer high degree of versatility and tunability. However, in order to get a full advantage of this therapeutic approach and develop efficient delivery systems, a careful characterization of the NCs is needed. This Feature Article highlights the fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) technique as a powerful and versatile tool for NCs characterization at all stages of the drug delivery process. In particular, FCS can monitor and quantify the size of the NCs and the drug loading efficiency after preparation, the NCs stability and possible interactions with, e.g., plasma proteins in the blood stream and the kinetic of drug release in the cytoplasm of the target cells.

Abstract
Since its invention, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has come forth as a powerful member of the “scanning probe microscopy” (SPM) family and an unparallel platform for high-resolution imaging and characterization for inorganic and organic samples, especially biomolecules, biosensors, proteins, DNA, and live cells. AFM characterizes any sample by measuring interaction force between the AFM cantilever tip (the probe) and the sample surface, and it is advantageous over other SPM and electron micron microscopy techniques as it can visualize and characterize samples in liquid, ambient air, and vacuum. Therefore, it permits visualization of three-dimensional surface profiles of biological specimens in the near-physiological environment without sacrificing their native structures and functions and without using laborious sample preparation protocols such as freeze-drying, staining, metal coating, staining, or labeling. Biosensors are devices comprising a biological or biologically extracted material (assimilated in a physicochemical transducer) that are utilized to yield electronic signal proportional to the specific analyte concentration. These devices utilize particular biochemical reactions moderated by isolated tissues, enzymes, organelles, and immune system for detecting chemical compounds via thermal, optical, or electrical signals. Other than performing high-resolution imaging and nanomechanical characterization (e.g., determining Young’s modulus, adhesion, and deformation) of biosensors, AFM cantilever (with a ligand functionalized tip) can be transformed into a biosensor (microcantilever-based biosensors) to probe interactions with a particular receptors of choice on live cells at a single-molecule level (using AFM-based single-molecule force spectroscopy techniques) and determine interaction forces and binding kinetics of ligand receptor interactions. Targeted drug delivery systems or vehicles composed of nanoparticles are crucial in novel therapeutics. These systems leverage the idea of targeted delivery of the drug to the desired locations to reduce side effects. AFM is becoming an extremely useful tool in figuring out the topographical and nanomechanical properties of these nanoparticles and other drug delivery carriers. AFM also helps determine binding probabilities and interaction forces of these drug delivery carriers with the targeted receptors and choose the better agent for drug delivery vehicle by introducing competitive binding. In this review, we summarize contributions made by us and other researchers so far that showcase AFM as biosensors, to characterize other sensors, to improve drug delivery approaches, and to discuss future possibilities.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been detected in the lungs of ∼50% of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), including 20% of adult CF patients. The majority of these adult patients harbor multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains, limiting the available treatment options. Silver has long been used as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent with a low incidence of resistance. Despite low toxicity, poor availability of silver cations mandates a high dosage to effectively eradicate infections. To address this shortcoming of silver, nanoparticles have been used as delivery devices to improve treatment outcomes. Furthermore, studies have demonstrated that synergistic combinations with careful dose calibrations and efficient delivery systems result in superior antimicrobial activity while avoiding potential side effects of both therapeutics. Here 4-epi-minocycline, a metabolite of minocycline, was identified as an active antimicrobial against P. aeruginosa using a high-throughput screen. The antimicrobial activities of 4-epi-minocycline, minocycline, and silver acetate against clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa obtained from CF patients were evaluated in vitro. Next, the synergistic activity of the silver/minocycline combination against P. aeruginosa isolates was investigated using checkerboard assays and identified with end-point colony forming unit determination assays. Finally, nanoparticles coloaded with minocycline and silver were evaluated in vitro for antimicrobial activity. The results demonstrated that both silver and minocycline are potent antimicrobials alone and that the combination allows a reduced dosage of both therapeutics to achieve the same antimicrobial effect. Furthermore, the proposed synergistic silver/minocycline combination can be coloaded into nanoparticles as a next-generation antibiotic to combat the threats presented by MDR pathogens.

Abstract
Biotin-conjugated multistimuli-responsive polysaccharide vesicular nanocarriers are designed and developed, for the first time, to accomplish receptor-mediated endocytosis in cancer cells and to deliver anticancer drugs to intracellular compartments. For this purpose, a new renewable hydrophobic unit was custom designed with redox-degradable disulfide and enzyme-biodegradable aliphatic ester chemical linkages, and it was conjugated along with biotin on the dextran backbone. The dextran derivative self-assembled into nanovesicles of <200 nm in size, which were characterized by dynamic and static light scattering, electron, and atomic force microscopes. Avidin-HABA assay established the high affinity of biotin-tagged dextran vesicles toward membrane-receptors up to 25 nM concentration. Doxorubicin-hydrochloride (DOX.HCl)-loaded dextran vesicles exhibited stable formulation in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and fetal bovine serum (FBS). Redox-degradation by glutathione (GSH) showed 60% drug release, whereas lysosomal esterase enzyme enabled >98% drug release in 12 h. Confocal microscope and flow cytometry-assisted time-dependent cellular uptake studies revealed that the biotin-receptors overexpressed in cervical cancer cells (HeLa) exhibited larger drug accumulation through the receptor-assisted endocytosis process. This process enabled the delivery of higher amount of DOX and significantly enhanced the killing in cancer cells (HeLa) compared to wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (WT-MEF, normal cells). Control experiments such as biotin pretreatment in cancer cells and energy-suppressed cellular uptake at 4 °C further supported the occurrence of receptor-mediated endocytosis by the biotin-tagged polymer vesicles. This report provides first insights into the targeted polysaccharide vesicle platform, and the proof-of-concept is successfully demonstrated in biotin receptor-overexpressed cervical cancer cells.

Abstract
Rapid developments in organic chemistry and polymer chemistry promote the synthesis of polymer-protein hybrids with different structures and biofunctionalities. In this feature article, recent progress achieved in the synthesis of polymer-protein conjugates, protein-nanoparticle core-shell structures, and polymer-protein nanogels/hydrogels is briefly reviewed. The polymer-protein conjugates can be synthesized by the "grafting-to" or the "grafting-from" approach. In this article, different coupling reactions and polymerization methods used in the synthesis of bioconjugates are reviewed. Protein molecules can be immobilized on the surfaces of nanoparticles by covalent or noncovalent linkages. The specific interactions and chemical reactions employed in the synthesis of core-shell structures are discussed. Finally, a general introduction to the synthesis of environmentally responsive polymer-protein nanogels/hydrogels by chemical cross-linking reactions or molecular recognition is provided.

Abstract
We used photo irradiation to design core crosslinked polymeric micelles whose only significant physico-chemical change was in their physico-chemical stability, which helps elucidate poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-related immunogenicity. Synthetic routes and compositions of PEG-b-poly(aspartic acid) block copolymers were optimized with the control of n-alkyl chain length and photo-sensitive chalcone moieties. The conjugation ratio between n-alkyl chain and the chalcone moieties was controlled, and upon the mild photo irradiation of polymeric micelles, permanent crosslink proceeded in the micelle cores. In the optimized condition, the core crosslinked (CCL) micelles exhibited no dissociation while the non-CCL micelles exhibited dissociation. These results indicate that the photo-crosslinking reactions in the inner core were successful. A gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) measurement revealed a difference between the micellar-formation stability of CCL micelles and that of the non-CCL micelles. GPC experiments revealed that the CCL micelles were more stable than the non-CCL micelles. Our research also revealed that photo-crosslinking reactions did not change the core property for drug encapsulation. In conclusion, the prepared CCL micelles exhibited the same diameter, the same formula, and the same inner-core properties for drug encapsulation as did the non-CCL micelles. Moreover, the CCL micelles exhibited non-dissociable micelle formation, while the non-CCL micelles exhibited dissociation into single block copolymers.

Abstract
We present the preparation of ligand-conjugated redox-responsive polymer nanocontainers by the supramolecular decoration of cyclodextrin vesicles with a thin redox-cleavable polymer shell that displays molecular recognition units on its surface. Two widely different recognition motifs (mannose-Concanavalin A and biotin-streptavidin) are compared and the impact of ligand density on the nanocontainer surface as well as an additional functionalization with nonadhesive poly(ethylene glycol) is studied. Aggregation assays, dynamic light scattering, and a fluorometric quantification reveal that the molecular recognition of ligand-conjugated polymer nanocontainers by receptor proteins is strongly affected by the multivalency of interactions and the association strength of the recognition motif. Finally, microcontact printing is used to prepare streptavidin-patterned surfaces, and the specific immobilization of biotin-conjugated nanocontainers is demonstrated. As a prototype of a nanosensor, these tethered nanocontainers can sense a reductive environment and react by releasing a payload.

Abstract
The synthesis and anticancer activity of a copper(II) diacetyl-bis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazone) complex and its nanoconjugates are reported. The copper(II) complex is connected to a carboxylic acid group through a cleavable disulfide link to enable smart delivery. The copper complex is tethered to highly water-soluble 20 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), stabilized by amine terminated lipoic acid-polyethylene glycol (PEG). The gold nanoparticle carrier was further decorated with biotin to achieve targeted action. The copper complex and the conjugates with and without biotin, were tested against HeLa and HaCaT cells. They show very good anticancer activity against HeLa cells, a cell line derived from cervical cancer and are less active against HaCaT cells. Slow and sustained release of the complex from conjugates is demonstrated through cleavage of disulfide linker in the presence of glutathione (GSH), a reducing agent intrinsically present in high concentrations within cancer cells. Biotin appended conjugates do not show greater activity than conjugates without biotin against HeLa cells. This is consistent with drug uptake studies, which suggests similar uptake profiles for both conjugates in vitro. However, in vivo studies using a HeLa cell xenograft tumor model shows 3.8-fold reduction in tumor volume for the biotin conjugated nanoparticle compared to the control whereas the conjugate without biotin shows only 2.3-fold reduction in the tumor volume suggesting significant targeting.

Abstract
Although the shortcomings of small molecular antitumor drugs were efficiently improved by being entrapped into nanosized vehicles, premature drug release and insufficient tumor targeting demand innovative approaches that boost the stability and tumor responsiveness of drug-loaded nanocarriers. Here, we show the use of the core cross-linking method to generate a micelle with enhanced drug encapsulation ability and sensitivity of drug release in tumor. This kind of micelle could increase curcumin (Cur) delivery to HeLa cells in vitro and improve tumor accumulation in vivo. We designed and synthesized the core cross-linked micelle (CCM) with polyethylene glycol and folic acid-polyethylene glycol as the hydrophilic units, pyridyldisulfide as the cross-linkable and hydrophobic unit, and disulfide bond as the cross-linker. CCM showed spherical shape with a diameter of 91.2 nm by the characterization of dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscope. Attributed to the core cross-linking, drug-loaded CCM displayed higher Nile Red or Cur-encapsulated stability and better sensitivity to glutathione than noncross-linked micelle (NCM). Cellular uptake and in vitro antitumor studies proved the enhanced endocytosis and better cytotoxicity of CCM-Cur against HeLa cells, which had a high level of glutathione. Meanwhile, the folate receptor-mediated drug delivery (FA-CCM-Cur) further enhanced the endocytosis and cytotoxicity. Ex vivo imaging studies showed that CCM-Cur and FA-CCM-Cur possessed higher tumor accumulation until 24 hours after injection. Concretely, FA-CCM-Cur exhibited the highest tumor accumulation with 1.7-fold of noncross-linked micelle Cur and 2.8-fold of free Cur. By combining cross-linking of the core with active tumor targeting of FA, we demonstrated a new and effective way to design nanocarriers for enhanced drug encapsulation, smart tumor responsiveness, and elevated tumor accumulation.

Abstract
Ligand grafted nanoparticles have been shown to enhance drug transport across epithelium barrier and are expected to improve drug delivery. However, grafting of these ligands to the surface of pure nanodrug, i.e., nanocrystals (NCs), is a critical challenge due to the shedding of ligands along with the stabilizer upon high dilution or dissolving of the drug. Herein, a non-sheddable nanocage-like stabilizer was designed by covalent cross-linking of poly(acrylic acid)-b-poly(methyl acrylate) on drug nanocrystal surface, and a ligand, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), was successfully anchored to the surface of itraconazole (ITZ) NCs by covalent conjugation to the nanocage (WGA-cage-NCs). The cellular study showed that large amount of WGA-cage-NCs were adhered to Caco-2 cell membrane, and invaded into cells, resulting in a higher drug uptake than that of ordinary NCs (ONCs). After oral administration to rats, WGA-cage-NC were largely accumulated on the apical side of epithelium cells, facilitating drug diffusing across epithelium barrier. Interestingly, WGA-cage-NCs were capable of invading rat intestinal villi and reaching to lamina propria by transcytosis across goblet cells, which behaved like a foodborne pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes. The WGA-cage-NCs showed an improved oral bioavailability, which was 17.5- and 2.41-folds higher than that of coarse crystals and ONCs, respectively. To our best knowledge, this may represent the first report that a functional ligand was successfully anchored to the surface of pure nanodrug by using a cage-like stabilizer, showing unique biological functions in gastrointestinal tract and having an important significance in oral drug delivery.

Abstract
Polymer nanoparticles can be prepared by self-assembling of amphiphilic polymers, and various types of molecular assemblies have been reported. In particular, in medicinal fields, utilization of these polymer nanoparticles as carriers for drug delivery system (DDS) has been actively tried, and some nanoparticulate drugs are currently under preclinical evaluations. A radionuclide is an unstable nucleus and decays with emission of radioactive rays, which can be utilized as a tracer in the diagnostic imaging systems of PET and SPECT and also in therapeutic purposes. Since polymer nanoparticles can encapsulate most of diagnostic and therapeutic agents with a proper design of amphiphilic polymers, they should be effective DDS carriers of radionuclides in the nuclear medicinal field. Indeed, nanoparticles have been recently attracting much attention as common platform carriers for diagnostic and therapeutic drugs and contribute to the development of nanotheranostics. In this paper, recent developments of solid tumor-targeting polymer nanoparticles in nuclear medicinal fields are reviewed.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive cross-linked micelles (SCMs) represent an ideal nanocarrier system for drug delivery against cancers. SCMs exhibit superior structural stability compared to their non-cross-linked counterpart. Therefore, these nanocarriers are able to minimize the premature drug release during blood circulation. The introduction of environmentally sensitive cross-linkers or assembly units makes SCMs responsive to single or multiple stimuli present in tumor local microenvironment or exogenously applied stimuli. In these instances, the payload drug is released almost exclusively in cancerous tissue or cancer cells upon accumulation via enhanced permeability and retention effect or receptor mediated endocytosis. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the development of SCMs for cancer therapy. We also introduce the latest biophysical techniques, such as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), for the characterization of the interactions between SCMs and blood proteins.

Abstract
pH-responsive amphiphilic block copolymers based on poly(ethylene glycol)monomethyl ether-b-poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylamidepropanoic acid) (PEO-b-PMMA-co-PMAPA) with different MMA/MAPA ratios were synthesized from respective amine-reactive prepolymers based on poly(ethylene glycol)monomethyl ether-b-poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacryloxysuccinimide) (PEO-b-PMMA-co-PMASI) in such a way that the pH-responsive carboxylic acid groups were randomly distributed in the hydrophobic (PMMA) block. In aqueous medium, they formed micellar aggregates. Control experiments showed stability and critical aggregation concentration and dye encapsulation properties were better for carboxylic acid functionalized micelles at acidic pH compared to a structurally similar block copolymer micelle that lacked any carboxylic acid group. This was attributed to H-bonding among the carboxylic acid groups. In basic pH upon deprotonation, controlled swelling of the aggregates was observed due to repulsion among the negatively charged carboxylate groups. The extent of swelling/deswelling was well controlled by simply changing the percentage of the pH-responsive units in the hydrophobic block and could be probed quantitatively by pH-dependent dynamic light scattering (DLS) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies. The aggregates were able to encapsulate a hydrophobic guest such as pyrene at the interior of the micelle, and sustained release of this hydrophobic probe was achieved selectively at basic pH due to swelling of the micelles instead of complete disassembly that generally leads to burst release.

Abstract
A ketal-containing trithiocarbonyl compound has been synthesized and characterized as a chain transfer agent (CTA) in Reversible Addition Fragmentation Transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The ketal functionality does not interfere with RAFT polymerization of acrylate monomers, which proceeds as previously reported to yield macro-CTA polymers and block co-polymers. Post-polymerization ketal cleavage revealed ketone functionality at the polar terminus of an amphiphilic block co-polymer. Hydrazone-formation was facile in both organic solution as well as in aqueous buffer where polymer nanoparticle assemblies were formed, indicating a conjugation/end-functionalization yield of 40-50%. Conjugation was verified with fluorescein, biotin and Gd-DOTA derivatives, and though the trithiocarbonate linkage is hydrolytically labile, we observed stable conjugation for several days at pH 7.4. and 37°C. As expected, streptavidin binding to biotinylated polymer micelles was observed, and size-change based relaxivity increases were observed when Gd-DOTA hydrazide was conjugated to polymer micelles. Cell-uptake of fluorescently labeled polymer micelles was also readily tracked by FACS and fluorescence microscopy. These polymer derivatives demonstrate a range of potential theranostic/biotechnological applications for this conveniently accessible keto-CTA, which include ligand-based nanoparticle targeting and fluorescent/MR nanoparticle contrast agents.

Abstract
Luminescent polymers containing Ir(ppy)2(bpy) PF6 complexes, biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains, and biotin moieties were synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Their self-assembly in water into micelles resulted in an increased quantum yield compared to open polymer chains in acetonitrile, which is likely due to core rigidity and desolvation. Streptavidin coated magnetic beads were employed to analyze the binding ability of these micelles. The positioning of the molecular recognition moiety biotin within the polymer chain had a very significant effect on the availability of biotin on the micelle surface and the ability of the micelles to bind to streptavidin. Simply attaching biotin to the end of the ROMP polymer yielded micelles in which the biotin units were shielded by the PEG chains, whereas the synthesis of a new ROMP monomer containing biotin at the end of the PEG chains resulted in improved surface availability of the biotin group. Preliminary experiments in which streptavidin was microcontact-printed onto functionalized glass coverslips also indicated specific binding between the micelles and streptavidin and further demonstrated the potential of these micelle systems to function as luminescent probes in solid-phase biodetection assays.
