A New Method for Accelerated Aging of Nanoparticles to Assess the Colloidal Stability of Albumin-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2025; 15:475. [PMID: 40214521 PMCID: PMC11990806 DOI: 10.3390/nano15070475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2025] [Revised: 03/14/2025] [Accepted: 03/19/2025] [Indexed: 04/14/2025]
Abstract
The colloidal long-storage stability of nanosized drugs is a crucial factor for pharmacology, as they require much time for robust estimation. The application of bioavailable magnetic nanosuspensions in theranostics is limited by incomplete information about their colloidal stability in the internal media of human organisms. A method for the accelerated temperature stress "aging" of magnetic nanosized suspensions is proposed for the rapid assessment and prediction of the colloidal stability over time of nanosized iron oxide suspensions stabilized by albumin HSA. Colloidal stability is assessed using dynamic light scattering (DLS), fluorescence spectroscopy, electrophoresis, and ion monitoring methods during short- and long-term storage. Rapid assessment is achieved by short high-temperature (70 °C) processing of carboxymethyl-dextran-coated nanosol in the presence of albumin. The role of albumin in the sustained stability of superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIONs) was studied under conditions mimicking blood plasma (pH = 7.4) and endolysosomal cell compartments (pH = 5.5). According to the fluorescence quenching and DLS data, colloidal stability is ensured by the formation of an HSA corona on carboxymethyl-dextran-coated SPIONs and their process of clustering. In the presence of albumin, the colloidal stability of nanoparticles is shown to increase from 80 to 121 days at a storage temperature of 8 °C The prognostic shelf life of magnetic nanosol is estimated by calculating the Van't Hoff's relation for the rate of chemical reactions. The validity of using the Van't Hoff's rule is confirmed by the agreement of the calculated activation energy at 8 °C and 70 °C. The developed method of the accelerated aging of nanoparticles can not only be employed for the estimation of the shelf life of magnetic nanoparticles coated with HSA in vitro but also for assessing the stability of SPIONs applied in vivo.

Preparing a Liposome-Aided Drug Delivery System: The Entrapment and Release Profiles of Doxorubicin and 9-( N-Piperazinyl)-5-methyl-12( H)-quino [3,4-b][1,4]benzothiazinium Chloride with Human Serum Albumin. Pharmaceutics 2025; 17:202. [PMID: 40006569 PMCID: PMC11860059 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics17020202] [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: 12/22/2024] [Revised: 01/20/2025] [Accepted: 02/04/2025] [Indexed: 02/27/2025] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: The principal aim of this work was to prepare a liposomal drug delivery system based on the commercial drug doxorubicin (DOX) and a budding agent with promising anticancer activity, 9-(N-piperazinyl)-5-methyl-12(H)-quino [3,4-b][1,4]benzothiazinium chloride (9-PBThACl). Methods: A spectrophotometric methodology was used to meticulously investigate the drug entrapment and release characteristics of the new liposomal complexes (L) based on dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) with human serum albumin (HSA) and its defeated analog (dHSA). Results: The impact of the operational parameters (temperature and pH) on the liposome/drug(s)/(d)HSA, namely [LDPPC/9-PBThACl/DOX ]:(d)HSA] systems, as well as the polarity of the phospholipid bilayer, was examined. In order to compare the experimental findings, mathematical models were employed to specify the analytical factors controlling the process of drug release/potential drug release from liposomes. The observed variations in the drug encapsulation and release profiles were due to the combination of liposomal conjugates with human plasma protein. Conclusions: It was proven that changes in the environmental pH directly affect the percentage of drug entrapment in liposomes and the medicine release efficiency. Moreover, the grouping tendency of the liposomal combinations was investigated using a principal component analysis (PCA) and a hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). Finally, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirmed the statistical impact of pH buffering and changing temperature factors on the drug release characteristics of liposomal conjugates.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP)-based solutions for oncotherapy promise an improved efficiency of the anticancer response, as well as higher comfort for the patient. The current advancements in cancer treatment based on nanotechnology exploit the ability of these systems to pass biological barriers to target the tumor cell, as well as tumor cell organelles. In particular, iron oxide NPs are being clinically employed in oncological management due to this ability. When designing an efficient anti-cancer therapy based on NPs, it is important to know and to modulate the phenomena which take place during the interaction of the NPs with the tumor cells, as well as the normal tissues. In this regard, our review is focused on highlighting different approaches to studying the internalization patterns of iron oxide NPs in simple and complex 2D and 3D in vitro cell models, as well as in living tissues, in order to investigate the functionality of an NP-based treatment.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Computed tomography (CT) is an important auxiliary tool for the diagnosis, evaluation, and prognosis prediction of gastrointestinal tumors. Spectral CT is another major CT revolution after spiral CT and multidetector CT. Compared to traditional CT which only provides single-parameter anatomical diagnostic mode imaging, spectral CT can achieve multi-parameter imaging and provide a wealth of image information to optimize disease diagnosis. In recent years, with the rapid development and application of spectral CT, more and more studies on the application of spectral CT in the characterization of GI tumors have been published. For this review, we obtained a substantial volume of literature, focusing on spectral CT imaging of gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal, stomach, colorectal, liver, and pancreatic cancers. We found that spectral CT can not only accurately stage gastrointestinal tumors before operation but also distinguish benign and malignant GI tumors with improved image quality, and effectively evaluate the therapeutic response and prognosis of the lesions. In addition, this paper also discusses the limitations and prospects of using spectral CT in GI cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
The generation of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions containing magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), hemoglobin (Hb), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and human serum albumin (HSA) was determined. The dependence of the rate of formation of the oxidized product of o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) on the concentration of MNPs in solution, as well as on the concentration of proteins, was obtained. The peroxidase-like activity of MNPs was shown to decrease in the presence of HSA and IgG, while the addition of Hb to the reaction mixture led to its decrease and increase depending on protein concentration. The obtained effects can be used in the engineering of systems based on MNPs for theranostics (in particular, for suppression of tumor growth) and in predicting the ability of particles to catalyze the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo.
