A biodegradable drug delivery system (DDS) is one the most promising therapeutic strategies for cancer therapy. Here, we propose a unique concept of light activation of black phosphorus (BP) at hydrogel nanostructures for cancer therapy. A photosensitizer converts light into heat that softens and melts drug-loaded hydrogel-based nanostructures. Drug release rates can be accurately controlled by light intensity, exposure duration, BP concentration, and hydrogel composition. Owing to sufficiently deep penetration of near-infrared (NIR) light through tissues, our BP-based system shows high therapeutic efficacy for treatment of s.c. cancers. Importantly, our drug delivery system is completely harmless and degradable in vivo. Together, our work proposes a unique concept for precision cancer therapy by external light excitation to release cancer drugs. If these findings are successfully translated into the clinic, millions of patients with cancer will benefit from our work.

AbstractTargeted drug delivery system can reduce the side effects of high drug concentration by improving drug pharmacokinetics at lower doses. Citrate-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a drug delivery system were synthesized via green nanotechnology technique to be used as a new imaging platform for tumor targeting. Citrate-AuNPs were synthesized with core size of 10 nm. Citrate-AuNPs were labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) with radiochemical yield of 95.20 ± 2.70% with good in-vitro stability in both saline and human serum and well in-vivo studied in both normal and solid tumor bearing mice. The in-vivo biodistribution study of [99mTc]Tc-citrate-AuNPs in solid tumor bearing mice (as preliminary study) showed a high accumulation in tumor site with tumor/muscle of 4.35 ± 0.22 after 30 min post injection. The direct intratumoral (I.T) injection of [99mTc]Tc-citrate-AuNPs showed that this complex was retained in the tumor up to 77.86 ± 1.90 % at 5 min and still around 50.00 ± 1.42 % after 30 min post injection (p.i.). The newly presented nano-platform could be presented as a new potential radiopharmaceutical tumor imaging probe.

Cancer is one of the health concerns in modern societies. The application of nanotechnology in medical sciences has created new possibilities for the diagnosis, imaging and the treatment of tumors in humans. The present article reviews the application of marine-based gold nanoparticles in diagnosing and treating cancer. The main data were collected from research article on the application of different marine-based gold nanoparticles in detecting and imaging cancer cells as well as in drug delivery system in treatment of cancer. Chitosan is the most used marine natural compound used to fabricate gold nanocomposites and the most reported application of this type of nano-composites is related to drug delivery system. Despite the excellent anticancer potential of different marine natural products, less studies have been conducted on the use of their compositions with gold nanoparticles in cancer therapy than other materials. Moreover, most reports available in this filed are related to their application as a drug delivery system not anticancer drug. In general, there are still challenges and limitations to the use of nanoparticles in medicine, it is hoped that in the near future nanoparticles will create a dramatic revolution not only in oncology but also in medicine.
