Abstract
Spray-dried niobium oxide coated with chitosan-activated carbon (NIC) was synthesized and used to remove doxorubicin hydrochloride and crystal violet from aqueous solutions under different parameters such as solution pH (2, 4, 6, and 8), contact time (1 to 9 h), initial concentration (20 to 200 mg L-1), and competing ions (0.1 M of CaCl2 and NaCl). The addition of 5 % chitosan-activated carbon to the matrix of niobium oxide slightly increased the specific surface area from 26 to 30 m2 g-1, with the introduction of a carboxylic functional group. This led to an increase in the amount of adsorbed doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOH) from 30 to 44 mg g-1 and that of crystal violet (CV) from 15 to 32 mg g-1 from the initial respective 100 mg L-1 at pH 8. The data from the concentration study fitted into Liu isotherm having adsorption capacity of 128 and 57 mg g-1 for DOH and CV respectively, while pseudo first and second order are more suitable for adsorption kinetics. The additional functional groups on the IR spectrum of NIC after the adsorption of DOH and CV confirmed the interaction between NIC and the adsorbates' molecules. The mechanism of adsorption was supported by DFT calculations.

Abstract
Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) is an anticancer agent used in cancer chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to design nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) of DOX as smart chemotherapy to improve its photostability and anticancer efficacy. The characteristics of DOX and DOX-loaded NLCs were investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, particle size, and zeta potential study. The cytotoxicity of DOX was evaluated against three cancer cell lines (HeLa, A549, and CT-26). The particle size and zeta potential were in the range 58.45-94.08 nm and -5.80 mV - -18.27 mV, respectively. The chemical interactions, particularly hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, between DOX and the main components of NLCs was confirmed by FTIR. NLCs showed the sustained release profile of DOX. The photostability results revealed that the NLC system improved the photostability of DOX. Cytotoxicity results using the three cell lines showed that all formulations improved the anticancer efficacy of free DOX, and the efficacy was dependent on cell type and particle size. These results suggest that DOX-loaded NLCs are promising chemotherapeutic agents for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Due to inadequate pharmaceutical wastewater treatment, anticancer contaminants from the pharmaceutical industry frequently end up in the aquatic environment where they endanger aquatic life and humans. As a result, the appropriate treatment of wastewater that contains anticancer agents is crucial for pollution prevention. The purpose of this work is to assess the effectiveness of a Fe3O4@ZIF-8 nanocomposite as an adsorbent to remove of the chemotherapeutic drugs doxorubicin (DOX) from aqueous solution. SEM, XRD, BET, FT-IR, Zeta potential, and point of zero charge analysis were used to study the surface and structural characteristics of the Fe3O4@ZIF-8 nanocomposite. Via the proposed treatment, 804.84 mg/g elimination was successful under the following circumstances: pH = 6; Fe3O4@ZIF-8 dose = 0.02 g/25 mL; DOX concentration = 1.22x10-3 mol; adsorption time = 100 min; and shaking speed = 200 rpm. A investigation of isotherms shown that the Langmuir equation and experimental data suited each other quite well. The adsorption of DOX on Fe3O4@ZIF-8 was endothermic and spontaneous, in accordance with thermodynamic properties. Furthermore, the elimination of DOX was enhanced by the rise in solution temperature. The kinetic analysis revealed that the pseudo-second order was fitted by the model. The suggested adsorption method could recycle Fe3O4@ZIF-8 nanocomposite six times, with a modest reduction in its ability for adsorption. For all XRD reflection peaks, physical characteristics including strain rates were computed and the dislocation of was 4.7 × 10-6. Investigate the activity of the DOX towards COVID-19, breast and prostate cancer using molecular docking.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of mesoporous silica nanospheres as an adsorbent to remove doxorubicin (DOX) from aqueous solution. The surface and structural properties of mesoporous silica nanospheres were investigated using BET, SEM, XRD, TEM, ζ potential, and point of zero charge analysis. To optimize DOX removal from aqueous solution, a Box-Behnken surface statistical design (BBD) with four times factors, four levels, and response surface modeling (RSM) was used. A high amount of adsorptivity from DOX (804.84 mg/g) was successfully done under the following conditions: mesoporous silica nanospheres dose = 0.02 g/25 mL; pH = 6; shaking speed = 200 rpm; and adsorption time = 100 min. The study of isotherms demonstrated how well the Langmuir equation and the experimental data matched. According to thermodynamic characteristics, the adsorption of DOX on mesoporous silica nanospheres was endothermic and spontaneous. The increase in solution temperature also aided in the removal of DOX. The kinetic study showed that the model suited the pseudo-second-order. The suggested adsorption method could recycle mesoporous silica nanospheres five times, with a modest reduction in its ability for adsorption. The most important feature of our adsorbent is that it can be recycled five times without losing its efficiency.

Abstract
The consumption of cytostatics, pharmaceuticals prescribed in chemotherapy, is increasing every year and worldwide, along with the incidence of cancer. The presence and the temporal evolution of cytostatics in wastewaters from a Portuguese hospital center was evaluated through a 9-month sampling campaign, comprising a total of one hundred and twenty-nine samples, collected from May 2019 to February 2020. Eleven cytostatics out of thirteen pharmaceuticals were studied, including flutamide, mycophenolate mofetil and mycophenolic acid, which have never been monitored before. Target analytes were extracted and quantified by solid-phase extraction coupled to liquid-chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis; the method was fully validated. All pharmaceuticals were detected in at least one sample, bicalutamide being the one found with higher frequency (detected in all samples), followed by mycophenolic acid, which was also the compound detected at higher concentrations (up to 5340 ± 211 ng/L). Etoposide, classified as carcinogenic to humans, was detected in 60% of the samples at concentrations up to 142 ± 15 ng/L. The risk from exposure to cytostatics was estimated for aquatic organisms living in receiving bodies. Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, etoposide, flutamide, megestrol and mycophenolic acid are suspected to induce risk. Long-term and synergic effects should not be neglected, even for the cytostatics for which no risk was estimated.

Abstract
As feed additives, oxytetracycline (OTC) and copper ion (Cu(II)) are often detected in livestock and poultry farming wastewater. To address this issue, firstly, the synthesis conditions of Fe/Mn nanoparticles (Fe/Mn NPs) were initially optimized using a response surface methodology (RSM) to yield highly active Fe/Mn NPs, where the application of RSM significantly increased the Fe/Mn NPs' efficiency in removing co-contamination OTC and Cu(II),respectively, from 45.8 to 86.2% and 14.9-67.2%. Secondly, scanning electron microscope and Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms results showed that Fe/Mn NPs were composed of elliptic particles between 20 and 40 nm, a specific surface area of 59.5 m2 g-1, and a mean pore diameter of 5.27 nm. Fourier infrared spectrometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed that amino, carboxyl and hydroxyl functional groups existed on the surface. Zeta potential indicated that Fe/Mn NPs maintained a high negative charge density between pH 1 and 11. These surface properties possessed by the green synthesized Fe/Mn NPs resulted in high adsorption efficiency for co-contamination OTC and Cu(II). Based on this, a removal mechanism based on a combination of complex-bridging effect, pore-filling, hydrogen bonding, surface complexation, ion exchange and electrostatic attraction was proposed. Finally, the assessment of Fe/Mn NPs used in swine wastewater demonstrated that both 99.9% OTC and 55.6% Cu(II) were removed.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the doxorubicin (DOX) adsorption behavior on Fe3O4@Ag-Metal Organic Framework (Fe3O4@Ag-MOF). This adsorbent was effectively prepared using a simple synthetic process. Many instruments, including FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS, were used to characterized the new Fe3O4@Ag-MOF. Additionally, the presented Fe3O4@Ag-surface MOF's area was shown to be 586.06 m2/g with a size of around 43 nm. The composite that was made has magnetic properties that were quite strong (63.3 emu/g). The produced Fe3O4@Ag-MOF was discovered to have a fantastic ability to adsorb the anti-cancer drug DOX, with a 1.72 mmol/g (934.85 mg/g) adsorption capacity. On the basis of changes in temperature, pH, and DOX concentration, the DOX adsorption behavior mechanism was investigated. The adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@Ag-MOF for DOX was greater at pH 7.0, according to experimental data. The adsorption equilibrium also demonstrated that the Langmuir adsorption was regulated the best fit to the extracted data compared with the other models. Additionally, the activation energy of adsorption for DOX onto Fe3O4@Ag-MOF was determined, indicating the chemisorption process. The adsorption kinetics was shown in the well-known kinetic model of the pseudo-second-order. The adsorption thermodynamic measurements were documented according to according to the enthalpy (ΔH°), entropy(ΔS°), and Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) parameters demonstrated that the reaction was endothermic and spontaneous thermodynamic. The adsorption of DOX onto Fe3O4@Ag-MOF from real water samples (tap water, effluent wastewater, and influence wastewater) were investigated. It's interesting that the synthetic adsorbent had great recyclability 72.6 percent in the fifth cycle indicating that it was highly recyclable. After adsorption, the typical Fe3O4@Ag-MOF XRD peak intensities and locations were mostly unchanged throughout adsorption indicates the crystalline phase remained steady. The results indicated that Fe3O4@Ag-MOF were a good candidate for adsorbing the DOX and treating wastewater.

Tri-nanocomposite system of biocompatible polymers (gelatin/gum arabic) functionalized onto graphene-oxide nanosheets for controlling the release of an anticancer, doxorubicin (DOX), was fabricated via green-biosynthesis. Biocompatibility and nano-size stability of the tri-nanocomposite was characterized by SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, and zeta-potential. Loading-efficiency, release-behavior and cytotoxic-activity of DOX-loaded-composite in WI-38 normal-lung-fibroblast and A549 lung-carcinoma cells were investigated. High DOX-loading (at pH 9.5), with pH-sensitive release from loaded-composite was achieved, with 25% and 77% DOX released, at physiological pH 7.4 and cancerous pH 5.3, respectively. Stability of tri-nanocomposite system was confirmed over 3-months storage at accelerated conditions, as presented by FTIR, XRD, TEM, zeta-potential and in-vitro release assays. High proliferative inhibitory effect of DOX loaded-composite, on A549-cells, with minimal toxicity on WI-38-cells, with IC50 values of 51.9 ± 0.46 and 185±1.08 µg/mL, against A549 and WI-38, respectively. Proposed tri-nanocomposite offers a novel combination of gelatin/gum arabic with graphene-oxide for targeted drug-delivery and efficient anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have great potential in the drug delivery area. Iron oxide (Fe3O4) MNPs have demonstrated a promising effect due to their ferrimagnetic properties, large surface area, stability, low cost, easy synthesis, and functionalization. Some coating procedures are required to improve stability, biocompatibility, and decrease toxicity for medical applications. Herein, the co-precipitation synthesis of iron oxide MNPs coated with four types of primary surfactants, polyethylene glycol 2000 (PEG 2000), oleic acid (OA), Tween 20 (Tw20), and Tween 80 (Tw80), were investigated. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), ζ-potential, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques were used for morphology, size, charge, and stability analysis. Methylene blue reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection assay and the toxicity experiment on the lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line were conducted. Two loading conditions for anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) on MNPs were proposed. The first one provides high loading efficiency (~90%) with up to 870 μg/mg (DOX/MNPs) drug capacity. The second is perspective for extremely high capacity 1757 μg/mg with drug wasting (DOX loading efficiency ~24%). For the most perspective MNP_OA and MNP_OA_DOX in cell media, pH 7.4, 5, and 3, the stability experiments are also presented. MNP_OA_DOX shows DOX pH-dependent release in the acidic pH and effective inhibition of A549 cancer cell growth. The IC50 values were calculated as 1.13 ± 0.02 mM in terms of doxorubicin and 0.4 ± 0.03 µg/mL in terms of the amount of the nanoparticles. Considering this, the MNP_OA_DOX nano theranostics agent is a highly potential candidate for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin metal-organic framework by ultrasound-assisted rapid synthesis for caffeic acid (CA) loading and antibacterial application (U-CD-MOF) was successfully studied and this method shortened the preparation time to a few minutes. It was found that the ultrasonic power, reaction time and temperature would affect the morphology and size of the obtained crystal. Under the optimal conditions, U-CD-MOF had a cubic structure with uniform size of 8.60 ± 1.95 μm. U-CD-MOF was used to load the antibacterial natural product CA to form the composite (CA@U-CD-MOF) and the loading rate of CA@U-CD-MOF to CA could reach 19.63 ± 2.53%, which was more than twice that of γ-CD. Various techniques were applied to characterize the synthesized crystal, including Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and N2 adsorption. In addition, antibacterial tests were performed on the obtained crystal. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of CA@U-CD-MOF for Escherichia coli O157: H7 (E. coli O157: H7) were both 25 mg·mL-1, and the MIC for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). was 25 mg·mL-1. The sustained release behavior of CA@U-CD-MOF to CA in ethanol fitted well to Higuchi model and the loading of CA was supported by molecular docking results. In general, U-CD-MOF was successfully achieved by ultrasound-assisted rapid synthesis and the obtained crystal was further evaluated for potential antibacterial application.

Abstract
This work presents the structural characterisation of carbon fibres obtained from the carbonization of flax tow at 400°C (CFs400°C) and 1000°C (CFs1000°C) and the thermodynamic and kinetic studies of adsorption of Doxorubicin (Dox) on the fibres. The characteristic of carbon fibres and their drug adsorption and removal mechanism were investigated and compared with that of natural flax tow. All fibres were fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), specific surface area analysis and Boehm titration. The results demonstrated the highest adsorption properties of CFs400°C at 323 K (qmax = 275 mg g−1). The kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model more closely, whereas the Dubinin–Radushkevich model suitably described isotherms for all fibres. Calculated parameters revealed that the adsorption process of Dox ions is spontaneous and mainly followed by physisorption and a pore-filling mechanism. The removal efficiency for carbon fibres is low due to the effect of pore-blocking and hydrophobic hydration. However, presented fibres can be treated with a base for further chemical surface modification, increasing the adsorption capacity and controlling the release tendency.

Abstract
The cellulose acetate (CA)/poly (ε-caprolactone diol)/poly (tetramethylene ether) glycol-polyurethane (PCL-Diol/PTMG-PU)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite nanofibers were prepared via two-nozzle electrospinning on both counter sides of the collector. The performance of synthesized composite nanofibers was investigated as an environmental application and anticancer delivery system for the adsorption/release of doxorubicin (DOX). The synergic effect of MWCNTs and DOX incorporated into the nanofibers was investigated against LNCaP prostate cancer cells. The status of MWCNTs and DOX in composite nanofibers was demonstrated by SEM, FTIR and UV-vis determinations. The adsorption tests using nanofibrous adsorbent toward DOX sorption was evaluated under various DOX initial concentrations (100-2000 mg l-1), adsorption times (5-120 min), and pH values (pH:2-9). Due to the fitting of isotherm and kinetic data with Redlich-Peterson and pseudo-second order models, both chemisorption and surface adsorption of DOX molecules mechanisms have been predicted. The drug release from both nanofibers and MWCNTs-loaded nanofibers was compared. The better drug sustained release profiles verified in the presence of composite nanofibers. LNCaP prostate cancer and L929 normal cells were treated to investigate the cytotoxicity and compatibility of synthesized composite nanofibers. The apoptosis/necrosis of hybrid nanofibers and MWCNTs loaded-nanofibers was investigated. The obtained results demonstrated the synergic effects of MWCNTs and DOX loaded-nanofibers on the LNCaP prostate cancer cells death.

Abstract
The interactions of anthracyclines with biological membranes strongly depend on the drug lipophilicity, which might also determine the specific affinity to cholesterol molecules. Therefore, in this work we show the studies concerning the effect of two selected anthracyclines, daunorubicin (DNR) and idarubicin (IDA) on simple models of healthy (DMPC:Chol 7:3) and cancer cells membranes with increased level of cholesterol (DMPC:Chol 3:7) as well as pure cholesterol monolayers prepared at the air-water interface and supported on gold surface. It has been shown that more lipophilic IDA is able to penetrate cholesterol monolayers more effectively than DNR due to the formation of IDA-cholesterol arrangements at the interface, as proved by the thermodynamic analysis of compression-expansion cycles. The increased interactions of IDA were also confirmed by the time measurements of pre-compressed monolayers exposed to drug solutions as well as grazing incidence X-ray diffraction studies demonstrating differences in the 2D organization of cholesterol monolayers. Langmuir studies of mixed DMPC:Chol membranes revealed the reorganization of molecules in the cancer cell models at the air-water interface at higher surface pressures due to the removal of DNR, while increased affinity of IDA towards cholesterol allowed this drug to penetrate the layer more efficiently without its removal. The SEIRAS spectra obtained for supported DMPC:Chol bilayers proved that IDA locates both in the ester group and in the acyl chain region of the bilayer, while DNR does not penetrate the membranes as deeply as IDA. The increased penetration of the mixed phospholipid layers by idarubicin might be attributed to the higher lipophilicity caused by the lack of methoxy group and resulting in a specific affinity towards cholesterol.

Abstract
In this study, ellagic acid (ELA), a skin anticancer drug, is capped on the surface(s) of functionalised graphene oxide (GO) nano-sheets through electrostatic and π-π staking interactions. The prepared ELA-GO nanocomposite have been thoroughly characterised by using eight techniques: Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) topographic imaging, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and surface morphology via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, ELA drug loading and release behaviours from ELA-GO nanocomposite were studied. The ELA-GO nanocomposite has a uniform size distribution averaging 88 nm and high drug loading capacity of 30 wt.%. The in vitro drug release behaviour of ELA from the nanocomposite was investigated by UV-Vis spectrometry at a wavelength of λmax 257 nm. The data confirmed prolonged ELA release over 5000 min at physiological pH (7.4). Finally, the IC50 of this ELA-GO nanocomposite was found to be 6.16 µg/ml against B16 cell line; ELA and GO did not show any cytotoxic effects up to 50 µg/ml on the same cell lines.

Abstract
The remarkable adsorption capacity of graphene-derived materials has prompted their examination in composite materials suitable for deployment in treatment of contaminated waters. In this study, crosslinked calcium alginate–graphene oxide beads were prepared and activated by exposure to pH 4 by using 0.1M HCl. The activated beads were investigated as novel adsorbents for the removal of organic pollutants (methylene blue dye and the pharmaceuticals famotidine and diclofenac) with a range of physicochemical properties. The effects of initial pollutant concentration, temperature, pH, and adsorbent dose were investigated, and kinetic models were examined for fit to the data. The maximum adsorption capacities qmax obtained were 1334, 35.50 and 36.35 mg g−1 for the uptake of methylene blue, famotidine and diclofenac, respectively. The equilibrium adsorption had an alignment with Langmuir isotherms, while the kinetics were most accurately modelled using pseudo- first-order and second order models according to the regression analysis. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° were calculated and the adsorption process was determined to be exothermic and spontaneous.

Abstract
A new water-soluble thermosensitive star-like copolymer, dextran-graft-poly-N-iso-propilacrylamide (D-g-PNIPAM), was created and characterized by various techniques (size-exclusion chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering (DLS) spectroscopy). The viability of cancer cell lines (human transformed cervix epithelial cells, HeLa) as a model for cancer cells was studied using MTT and Live/Dead assays after incubation with a D-g-PNIPAM copolymer as a carrier for the drug doxorubicin (Dox) as well as a D-g-PNIPAM + Dox mixture as a function of the concentration. FTIR spectroscopy clearly indicated the complex formation of Dox with the D-g-PNIPAM copolymer. The size distribution of particles in Hank’s solution was determined by the DLS technique at different temperatures. The in vitro uptake of the studied D-g-PNIPAM + Dox nanoparticles into cancer cells was demonstrated by confocal laser scanning microscopy. It was found that D-g-PNIPAM + Dox nanoparticles in contrast to Dox alone showed higher toxicity toward cancer cells. All of the aforementioned facts indicate a possibility of further preclinical studies of the water-soluble D-g-PNIPAM particles’ behavior in animal tumor models in vivo as promising carriers of anticancer agents.

Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles have emerged as efficient carriers for anticancer drug delivery because they can improve the solubility of hydrophobic drugs and also can increase the bio-distribution of drugs throughout the bloodstream. In this work, a computational study is performed on a set of new pH-sensitive polymer-drug compounds based on an intelligent polymer called poly(β-malic acid) (PMLA). The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is used to explore the adsorption and dynamic properties of PMLA-doxorubicin (PMLA-DOX) interaction with the graphene oxide (GOX) surface in acidic and neutral environments. The PMLA is bonded to DOX through an amide bond (PMLA-ami-DOX) and a hydrazone bond (PMLA-hz-DOX) and their adsorption behavior is compared with free DOX. Our results confirm that the polymer-drug prodrug shows unique properties. Analysis of the adsorption behavior reveals that this process is spontaneous and the most stable complex with a binding energy of -1210.262 kJ mol-1 is the GOX/PMLA-hz-DOX complex at normal pH. On the other hand, this system has a great sensitivity to pH so that in an acidic environment, its interaction with GOX became weaker while such behavior is not observed for the PMLA-ami-DOX complex. The results obtained from this study provide accurate information about the interaction of the polymer-drug compounds and nanocarriers at the atomic level, which can be useful in the design of smart drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Chemically modified biopolymers derived nanomaterials have shown great potential in drug delivery and live-cell imaging. We have developed two materials, doxorubicin-loaded chitosan-gold nanoparticles and beads, both embedded with functionalized silk fibroin. Nanoparticles with size 8 ± 3 nm were synthesized using chitosan as reducing and stabilizing agent. Beads with 900-1000 μm size were formulated by the ionic gelation technique. Both the materials were coated with functionalized silk fibroin for targeted and sustained drug release properties. The coated materials showed retarded drug release compared to the uncoated ones. The cytotoxicity was assessed in HeLa cell lines, which demonstrated a maximum dose-dependent decrease in cell viability for the cells treated with folate conjugated silk fibroin coated nanoparticles. The live-cell imaging of the nanoparticles unveiled the increased cellular uptake of the coated materials by seven folds than the uncoated ones. Thus, functionalized silk coated materials can be effective drug delivery tools for targeted and sustained drug release.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide, thus new solutions in anticancer therapies are highly sought after. In this work, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) conjugated with anticancer drugs are synthesized and investigated as potential magnetic drug nanocarriers for local drug delivery and mild magnetic hyperthermia. We have obtained a hybrid system loaded with holmium and anticancer drugs and thoroughly studied it with respect to the size, morphology, surface modifications and magnetic properties, and interactions with the model of biological membranes, cytotoxicity. We present that nanoparticles having a round shape and size 15 nm are successfully stabilized to avoid their agglomeration and modified with doxorubicin or epirubicin within a controlled way. The number of drugs loaded into the SPIONs was confirmed with thermogravimetry. The hybrid based on SPIONs was investigated in touch with model biological membranes within the Langmuir-Blodgett technique, and results show that modified SPION interacts effectively with them. Results obtained with magnetic hyperthermia and biological studies confirm the promising properties of the hybrid towards future cancer cell treatment.

Abstract
Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF8) represents a class of highly porous materials with a very high surface area, large pore volume, thermal stability, and biocompatibility. In this study, ZIF8-based nanostructures demonstrated a high loading capacity for doxorubicin (62 mg Dox per g ZIF8) through the combination of π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions. Dox-loaded ZIF8 was subsequently decorated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) (ZIF8-Dox@PAA) that showed good dispersity, fluorescent imaging capability, and pH-responsive drug release. The stable localization and association of Dox in ZIF8@PAA were investigated by C13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The NMR chemical shifts suggest the formation of hydrogen bonding interactions and π-π stacking interactions between the imidazole ring of ZIF8 and the benzene ring of Dox that can significantly improve the storage of Dox in the ZIF8 nanostructure. Additionally, the release mechanism of ZIF8-Dox@PAA was discussed based on the detachment of the PAA layer, enhanced solubility of Dox, and destruction of ZIF8 at different pH conditions. In vitro release test of ZIF8-Dox@PAA at pH 7.4 showed the low release rate of 24.7% even after 100 h. However, ZIF8-Dox@PAA at pH 4.0 exhibited four stages of release profiles, significantly enhanced release rate of 84.7% at the final release stage after 30 h. The release kinetics of ZIF8-Dox@PAA was analyzed by the sigmoidal Hill, exponential Weibull, and two-stage BiDoseResp models. The ZIF8-Dox@PAA nanocarrier demonstrated a promising theranostic nanoplatform equipped with fluorescent bioimaging, pH-responsive controlled drug release, and high drug loading capacity.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) such as graphene quantum dots (GQDs), graphene oxide nanosheets (GO), single and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs, MWCNTs) exhibit different drug loading capacities, release rates, and targeting abilities. This explains the reported discrepancy of their associated therapeutic efficiencies when used as drug carrier systems. In this study, for the first time, two different types of GQDs named GQDs1 and GQDs2 were synthesized, fully characterized, loaded with the chemotherapeutic Doxorubicin (DOX) and compared with other CNMs under the same conditions. The effects of shape (spheres, tubes and sheets), size (30-180 nm), and surface charge (-64.9 to -11.85 mv) of the synthesized CNMs on DOX loading and release efficiency as well as cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cells were investigated. Furthermore, the biosafety of the synthesized GQDs was studied both at the in vitro level using human WI-38 cells and at the in vivo level at low and high doses of 5 and 20 mg/Kg using healthy female Wister rats. Results revealed that GO nanosheets showed the highest DOX loading capacity reaching 2.85 mg/mg while GQDs1 exhibited the highest release rate of 78.1%. The in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation indicated that the smallest spherical nanomaterial among the tested CNMs, namely GQDs1 was the most efficient one on delivering DOX into the cells and inhibiting their proliferation. Regarding the biosafety, all CNMs displayed no noticeable cytotoxicity against WI-38, except for GQDs2. Moreover, hematological, biochemical and histological assessment of both kidneys and livers of treated rats assured the high biosafety level. We also present new insights on the first principle calculations investigating the adsorption of DOX on GO and GQDs. The calculations showed that DOX molecules adsorbed almost equally on both nanoforms, however, the flaky nature of our GO monolayers allowed for sandwich-like structures to exist making its loading capacity superior over GQDs. Based on this comprehensive study, GQDs is the most promising type of the tested CNMs to be used in further studies.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the nitrate adsorption by cobalt ferrite (CFO) nanoparticles. The adsorbent was synthesized by co-precipitation method and its structure was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and vibrating-sample magnetometry. In batch adsorption studies, the effects of various parameters like pH (3-11), adsorbent dose (0.2-0.8 g/L), contact time (5-120 min), initial nitrate concentration (50-200 mg/L), and temperature (283-313 K) on the adsorption process were examined. The results of this study indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity was 107.8 mg/g (optimum condition pH = 3, adsorbent dosage: 0.2 g/L, nitrate concentration: 200 mg/L, contact time: 20 min and temperature: 313 K). The adsorption isotherm had a proper match with Langmuir (R2 = 0.99) and Freundlich (R2 = 0.99) models. The adsorption of nitrate by CFO followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The results of the thermodynamics of the nitrate adsorption process by CFO showed that all the values of Gibbs free energy change, enthalpy change and entropy change were positive. Therefore, this process was endothermic and non-spontaneous.

Abstract
The present research was concerned with preparation of mesoporous starch (MPS) as a carrier for genistein, a model of poorly water-soluble phytoestrogen isoflavone; and exploration of the impact of different fabrication parameters on structural and loading properties. MPS is considered as a highly porous biomaterial which typically possesses nanometer-sized porous microstructure and low density, providing a large effective specific surface area (SSA) and hydrophilic surface to improve solubility, stability and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble active agents. To fabricate MPS, various concentrations (8-14% w/v) of starch from different sources (corn, potato and tapioca) was used for gel formation and the successive solvent exchange process was performed with use of various ethanol concentrations (40-70% v/v), which were then dried by different techniques (rotary vacuum evaporation, microwave and freeze drying). MPS quality attributes such as SSA, total porous volume, BJH pore diameter and swelling ratio were determined and effects of the fabrication parameters were investigated using L9-Taguchi orthogonal array design. The results indicate that second order polynomial regression models were well fitted for all response variables. Interestingly, the starch components greatly influenced physical properties of MPS. Also, the drying type and ethanol concentration altered significantly the model equations. The overall best fabrication condition (14% corn starch, 100% ethanol concentration in aging step and rotary vacuum drying) resulted in favorable MPS preparation with mean size of 105.4 nm and unimodal distribution. In the next step, genistein was encapsulated in MPS microstructure at different ratios, resulting in high loading capacity and efficiency (44.71% and 79.9%, respectively) at 1:1 weight ratio. Equilibrium adsorption isotherm of genistein was evaluated also by four different kinetics models including Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Temkin isotherms. The experimental data were found to be fitted well to the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.989). According to the electron microscopy and XRD analysis, the degree of genistein crystallinity lowered remarkably after the impregnation in to MPS, indicating improved solubility. In-vitro release profile of genistein from MPS in the simulated gastrointestinal buffer solutions (pH 1.2 and 6.8) demonstrated that incorporating genistein into the MPS enhanced the dissolution rate compared with genistein powder. Release kinetic data were fitted to the Higuchi model (R2 = 0.98), indicating diffusion-controlled release mechanism. Altogether, well-tuned MPS fabrication method can be utilized for an efficient encapsulation and dissolution enhancement of poorly soluble phytochemicals, such as genistein.

Abstract
The recent development of an in vivo solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method capable of analyzing drugs and metabolic products in biofluids and living tissues holds great promise. The standard in vivo SPME protocol based on mass spectrometry is a very powerful analytical approach, but it is not practical for on-site analysis in many cases. In this paper, we present a fluorescence-based SPME method and a prototype of a portable fluorometer that is capable of quickly quantifying concentrations of the anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX). The instrument uses thin coated, biocompatible SPME fibers, which we have previously presented as a chemical biopsy tool for use during in vivo lung perfusion (IVLP) procedures within a hospital setting. In this research, we test SPME fibers with C8-SCX, C18, and HLB coatings with our fluorometer. The mixed-mode C8-SCX fibers showed the best sensitivity of the three and were therefore used to examine DOX extraction from perfusate solution and a homogenized lamb lung tissue. The maximum concentration of free active sites in the C8-SCX fiber and the adsorption equilibrium constant were determined to be (9.1 ± 0.3) × 10-7 mol m-2 and 420 ± 30 m3 mol-1, respectively. Finally, the detection limits for DOX extracted from buffer, perfusate, and lung tissue were 40, 100, and 3700 μg L-1, respectively.

Abstract
By functionalizing [60]Fullerene (C60) and [60]Boron-Nitride ([60]BN), novel systems are proposed under two alternatives according to the intruder localization modes. To detail their bindings with Doxorubicin (DOX) and Boronic Chalcone (BCHA), we studied the azomethine ylide (AZMYtrp and AZMYtyr) addition impact on the drug-loading efficacy. As a result, the formation of reactive [60]CBNAZMYtrp nanocarriers mainly proceeded through photoexcitation on the triplet state, in contrast to those of [60]BNCAZMYtrp. The addition of amino acids strongly improved the interaction between DOX/BCHA and mono- and bis-nanocarriers compared to isolated anticancer drugs randomly dispersed in the solvent. Eight possible bis-nanocarriers regioisomers are cheeked for the second AZMYtrp addition sites. In fact, the trans1 isomer is considered as the most stable to adsorb DOX-DOX, DOX-BCHA or BCHA-BCHA with mole fraction of about 84 %. The lowest electronic bandgap (0.529 eV) of B25N25C10AZMYtyrAZMYtyr confirmed that the presence of hydrogen-bonding and OH-π, CH-π and CO-π interactions improved the binding affinity of bis-nanocarriers with DOX-DOX. The AZMYtrp indole ring hydrogen is bonded with the anticancer drug hydroxyl group and stabilized DOX-DOX-bis-nanocarriers complexes. The formation of new sp3 regions and π-π interactions with the carbon-doped [60]BN decreased the bandgap (0.64 eV) and stabilized the B25N25C10AZMYtyrAZMYtyr-DOX-BCHA complex.

Abstract
Liposomal doxorubicin (L-DOX) is a popular drug formulation for the treatment of several cancer types (e.g., recurrent ovarian cancer, metastatic breast cancer, multiple myeloma, etc.), but poor nuclear internalization has hampered its clinical applicability so far. Therefore, novel drug-delivery nanosystems are actively researched in cancer chemotherapy. Here we demonstrate that DOX-loaded graphene oxide (GO), GO-DOX, exhibits much higher anticancer efficacy as compared to its L-DOX counterpart if administered to cellular models of breast cancer. Then, by a combination of live-cell confocal imaging and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), we suggest that GO-DOX may realize its superior performances by inducing massive intracellular DOX release (and its subsequent nuclear accumulation) upon binding to the cell plasma membrane. Reported results lay the foundation for future exploitation of these new adducts as high-performance nanochemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
The ability of carbon-based nanomaterials (CNM) to interact with a variety of pharmaceutical drugs can be exploited in many applications. In particular, they have been studied both as carriers for in vivo drug delivery and as sorbents for the treatment of water polluted by pharmaceuticals. In recent years, the large number of experimental studies was also assisted by computational work as a tool to provide understanding at molecular level of structural and thermodynamic aspects of adsorption processes. Quantum mechanical methods, especially based on density functional theory (DFT) and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were mainly applied to study adsorption/release of various drugs. This review aims to compare results obtained by theory and experiments, focusing on the adsorption of three classes of compounds: (i) simple organic model molecules; (ii) antimicrobials; (iii) cytostatics. Generally, a good agreement between experimental data (e.g. energies of adsorption, spectroscopic properties, adsorption isotherms, type of interactions, emerged from this review) and theoretical results can be reached, provided that a selection of the correct level of theory is performed. Computational studies are shown to be a valuable tool for investigating such systems and ultimately provide useful insights to guide CNMs materials development and design.

Abstract
Anti-tumor drugs, due to their non-specific toxicity will cause long-term delayed toxicity to organisms and humans when discharged into the environment. In this study, reduced graphene oxide @ iron nanoparticles (rGO@Fe NPs) were successfully prepared using green tea extract as reductant and subsequently used for mitoxantrone (MTX) removal. SEM and Raman spectroscopy showed that 30-60 nm sized Fe NPs were loaded on rGO and green tea extract successfully reduced GO to rGO. The removal efficiency of MTX by the hybrid material was higher (98.5%) than either rGO (77.5%) or Fe NPs (53.1%) alone. In addition, the removal efficiency of MTX by the hybrid material was as high as 95% within 5 min, MTX adsorption followed both a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm, and it is a spontaneous adsorption. Recycling experiments showed that the removal efficiency of MTX decreased from 99.9 to 76.8% after six cycles, and could be as high as 99% in both municipal and medical wastewater. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were all used to characterize and analyze the hybrid material, and possible adsorption mechanisms which revealed that MTX adsorption probably involved a combination of π-π stacking interaction, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction and pore-filling.

Abstract
The evaluation of the cyto- and bio-compatibility is a critical step in the development of graphene oxide (GO) as a new promising material for in vivo biomedical applications. In this study, we report the impact of GO, with and without the addition of bovine serum albumin and anticancer drug- doxorubicin (DOX) on cancer (mouse hepatoma MH-22A) cells viability and the estimation of the intracellular distribution of GO inside the cells in vitro. The viability tests were performed using a colony formation assay. The intracellular distribution of GO was estimated using Raman spectroscopy and imaging. It was found that the functionalized GO with doxorubicin strengthens Doxorubicin, as anticancer drug effect. Therefore, it was revealed that a statistically significant result - the viability of MH-22A cells was approx. 20% lower than using DOX separately (from 57% to 79%, respectively). The results of viability tests correlate with results of atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy and imaging findings.

Abstract
Cancer diagnosis and its stage-wise assessment are determined through invasive solid tissue biopsies. Conversely, cancer imaging is enriched through emission tomography and longitudinal high-resolution analysis for the early detection of cancer through altered cell morphology and cell-deformation. Similarly, in post multiple chemo-cycle exposures, the tumor regression and progression thereafter are not well understood. Here, we report chemo-cycles of doxorubicin (Dox) carrying nanoparticles (NPs) to be highly indicative of cell deformation and a progressive indicator of phenotypic expressions of acquired drug resistance (ADR). We designed graphene (G) based nanocarriers by chemically conjugating multiple components: (i) G; (ii) iron oxide (Fe3O4) NPs; and (iii) Dox through a cysteine (Cys) linker (G-Dox and G-Cys-Fe3O4-Dox). Although Dox underwent cell diffusion, the G-based nanocarriers followed a receptor-mediated endocytosis which created a profound impact on the cell membrane integrity. ADR owing to Dox and G-based nanocarriers was analyzed through a cytotoxicity assay, cell morphology deformation parameters and cellular uptake kinetic patterns. Interestingly, after the third chemo-cycle, G-Dox incubated cells showed the greatest decrease in the alteration of the nuclear surface area (NSA) of ∼28%, a ∼40% reduction of the cell surface area (CSA) and a ∼32% increase in the cell roundness (CRd). Our results suggested that the G-based nanocarriers induced the cell deformation process, subsequently resulting in ADR. Although the G-based nanocarriers initiated ADR, G-Dox was most cytotoxic to cancer cells and induced the maximum cell morphology deformation within our scope of study. This outcome implies caution is needed when using G-based nanocarriers and other multi-component nanosystems for Dox delivery as they lead to possible phenotypic expressions of drug resistance in cancer cells.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were optimally synthesized employing two energy sources viz. thermal and microwave using low temperature co-precipitation process. Both methods yielded particles with optimum physicochemical properties for biomedical applications like smaller size (~6--7 nm), narrow size distribution (standard deviation ~1.6-1.7 nm) and good magnetic parameters (saturation magnetisation ~53 emu/g at 9 T). Simplified process made use of domestic oven. After coating by amino acid serine, successful loading (>8 wt%) of drug Doxorubicin was achieved for both SPIONs. Microwave sample showed equivalently efficient drug loading despite half the serine coating. Findings were confirmed by various techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) etc. Differences in thermal homogeneities and efficiency of heat transfer between two energy modes affected the properties of synthesized SPIONs. Differences were observed in amount of serine coating, drug release behaviour and in vitro experiments on A549 cells like internalisation and cell viability data. About 59 and 39% pH and time dependent drug release at pH 5 was obtained for thermal and microwave sample respectively. In vitro experiments confirmed the successful internalisation and cell death, supporting the suitability of SPIONS as efficient targeted drug carriers. Despite lesser drug release, microwave sample showed comparable in vitro results. Study emphasizes the role and importance of energy in affecting the efficiency and functional behaviour of SPIONs as nano drug carriers. Being biocompatible and magnetic these particles can be applied successfully as efficient targeted drug delivery agents.

Abstract
Epoxy-polydimethylsiloxane-graphene oxide (EPG) nanocomposite coatings were successfully developed by loading different wt% of graphene oxide nanosheets (GNs) into an epoxy-hydroxy-terminated-polydimethylsiloxane (EP-hPD) matrix via a facile in situ preparation technique. The inclusion of GNs into EPN led to an increase in modulus of elasticity and tensile strength up to 1570.46 MPa and 31.54 MPa, respectively, in the case of 1 wt% loading of GNs in the EP-hPD matrix. Also, an increase in the water contact angle from 90.1° to 115.2°, 104.5° and 101.7° was discerned at 1, 3 and 5 wt% loadings of GNs respectively. Taber abrasion results demonstrated a decrease in abrasion loss by 33.3% at 1 wt% loading of GNs in comparison to the unreinforced coating. An improvement in the glass transition temperature (Tg) was observed from 63.5 °C for the neat sample to 77.6 °C, 76.3 °C and 71.6 °C for the 1, 3 and 5 wt% EPG nanocomposites, respectively. An inevitable enhancement in the properties of the nanocomposites was affirmed due to the synergistic effect of GNs dispersed within the EP-hPD blend matrix. The prominent findings of this work include a minimum corrosion rate of 0.73 × 10-2 mm per year and upgradation in the antifouling performance of the nanocomposite coatings in comparison to the neat coating.

Abstract
Free polymer graphene aerogel nanoparticles (GA NPs) were synthesized by using reduction/aggregation of graphene oxide (GO) sheets in the presence of vitamin C (as a biocompatible reductant agent) at a low temperature (40 °C), followed by an effective sonication. Synthesis of GA NPs in doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX)-containing solution results in the simultaneous synthesis and drug loading with higher performance (than that of the separately synthesized and loaded samples). To investigate the mechanism of loading and the capability of GA NPs in the loading of other drug structures, two groups of ionized (DOX, Amikacin sulfate and, d-glucosamine hydrochloride) and non-ionized (Paclitaxel (PTX)) drugs were examined. Furthermore, the relationship between the bipolar level of DOX solution (contributing to H-bonding of DOX and GO) and the amount of DOX loading was investigated. The DOX showed higher loading (>3 times) than PTX, as anticancer drugs. Since both DOX and PTX possess aromatic structures, the higher loading of DOX was assigned to its positive partial charge and ionized nature. Accordingly, other drugs (having positive partial charge and ionized nature, but no aromatic structure) such as Amikacin sulfate and d-glucosamine hydrochloride presented higher loading than PTX. These results indicated that although the π-π interactions induced by aromatic structures are important in drug loading, the electrostatic interaction of ionized drugs with GO (especially through H-bonding) is the dominant mechanism. DOX-loaded GANPs showed high pH-sensitive release (equivalent to the carrier weight) after 5 days, which can indicate benefits in tumor cell acidic microenvironments in-vivo.
