: Pancreatic cancer is one of the low vascular permeable tumors with a high mortality rate. The five-year survival period is ~5%. The field of drug delivery is at its pace in developing unique drug delivery carriers to treat high mortality rate cancers such as pancreatic cancer. Theranostic nanoparticles are the new novel delivery carriers where the carrier is loaded with both diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The present review discusses various therapeutic and theranostic nanocarriers for pancreatic cancer.

Nanotechnology offers a new horizon for cancer drug administration and systemic safety of oncological treatments. Compared with conventional pharmaceutical forms, nanoparticles (NPs) have many advantages such as larger surface, ability to adsorb and targeted delivery of different types of drugs, providing decreased side effects and a patient customed approach in cancer treatment. Due to their diverse chemical composition, NPs offer the possibility of developing innovative therapies, which may be also applied in glioblastoma treatment. Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been previously used in cancer treatment, as targeted drug delivery systems. Helianthin is an azo dye compound that we found to induce cell death in high grade glioma (HGG) cells. In this study, we analyzed the in vitro effect of MNPs loaded with Helianthin (HeMNPs) on a glioblastoma cell line (GB2B).

In the aspect of biomedical diagnosis, magnetic nanoparticle can be used as drug carrier and MRI/ SPECT/ PET contrast agents. Magnetic fluid hyperthermia is one of the most important cancer therapies. Magnetic nanoparticles display their unique features as heating mediators for hyperthermia. In this study, Fe3O4magnetic nanoparticle was prepared by using chemical co-precipitation method. Tc-99m pertechnetate with Fe3O4magnetic nanoparticles is prepared by using magnet adsorption method. An attempt was also made to evaluate the application in the field of magnetic targeted drug delivery and radioactive targeted cancer treatment in the future. In this work, preparation and characterization of non-polymer and polymer (dextran) coated Fe3O4magnetic nanoparticles labeled with technetium-99m pertectnetate were evaluated and served as precursors study. The Tc-99m labeling efficiency of in-house Fe3O4magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) and commercial kit were ca.98.4 % and 85% (n=5), under the same conc. of 6mM, 0.1 ml of SnCl2·2H2O, respectively. The Tc-99m labeling efficiency of magnetic nanoparticles with its dextran-coated was ca. 58.2% (n=5) at the same conc. and volume of SnCl2·2H2O. The in-vitro stabilities of the 3 kinds of magnetite magnetic fluids were higher than 96.0% (n=5) during 2 hours. The reducing agent of SnCl2·2H2O plays a key role due to its reducing ability for Tc-99m pertechnetate. The optimal reaction time of SnCl2·2H2O with Tc-99m is better under 1 hour. In conclusion, the Fe3O4magnetic nanoparticle labeled with Tc-99m pertechnetate has shown good qualities for its labeling efficiency and stability. It may be feasible preliminary to utilize in the application of magnetic targeted drug delivery of bio-medicine.

In recent years, magnetic nanoparticles carrying thermoresponsive polymeric coatings have gained increasing attention in material sciences due to the fact that resultant platforms offer controllable modalities such as imaging, drug delivery, and magnetic separation. As a result, novel materials including biosensors, therapeutic platforms, imaging agents, and magnetic separators have been realized. Since the number of publications reporting the applications of thermoresponsive magnetic nanoparticle has increased steadily over the years, a comprehensive review will be beneficial. In this paper, we aim to review publications studying applications of thermoresponsive nanoparticles in biomedical sciences as well as in environmental and chemical sciences. The paper also briefly discusses chemical formulations, characterizations, and properties of the thermoresponsive magnetic particles and then provides future outlooks.

AbstractWith the growing demands for personalized medicine and medical devices, nanomedicine is a modern scientific field, and research continues to apply nanomaterials for therapeutic and damaged tissue diagnosis. In this regard, substantial progress has been made in synthesizing magnetic nanoparticles with desired sizes, chemical composition, morphologies, and surface chemistry. Among these materials, nanomagnetic iron oxides have demonstrated promise as unique drug delivery carriers due to cancer treatment. This carrier could lead to responsive properties to a specific trigger, including heat, pH, alternative magnetic field, or even enzymes, through functionalization and coating of magnetic nanoparticles, along with biocompatibility, good chemical stability, easy functionalization, simple processing, and ability to localize to the tumor site with the assistance of external magnetic field. Current studies have focused on magnetic nanoparticles’ utilities in cancer therapy, especially for colorectal cancer. Additionally, a bibliometric investigation was performed on the public trends in the field of the magnetic nanoparticle to drug delivery and anticancer, which represented progressing applications of these carriers in the multidisciplinary zones with a general view on future research and identified potential opportunities and challenges. Furthermore, we outline the current challenges and forthcoming research perspective for high performance and fostering advanced MNPs in colorectal cancer treatment. Graphical Abstract
