Nano drug delivery systems can control the ordered release of drugs. To achieve the target of supplying therapeutics and nutrients at the same time, a novel nano drug delivery system with a core–shell structure was prepared by coaxial electrospinning. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) has been used to produce a drug release scaffold in the shell section, mixed with absorbable silk fibroin peptide (SFP) as a nutrient. Ciprofloxacin (CPFX), a broad-spectrum antibiotic, was used as the core, as well as an antibacterial agent. Owing to its low molecular weight, using a pure SFP thin solution to manufacture nanofibers by electrospinning is still technically challenging. Thus, different ratios of PAN to SFP were used in the shell electrospinning solution. In this research, a novel nano dual-functionality drug delivery system has been successfully prepared. In vitro testing demonstrated that nanofibers could supply more nutrients with increasing SFP in shell solutions; however, the ability to maintain controlled release was reduced. It was found that the nanofiber membrane had the best controlled drug release capability for a PAN-to-SFP mass ratio of 95:5. Overall, most ciprofloxacin was released in the first 12 h, while the release of SFP was constant throughout the first 24 h. Our modeling demonstrated that the release of CPFX and SFP is best described using a first-order kinetic model. The developed drug delivery system is designed to release antimicrobial drugs in a controlled manner and provide absorbable nutrients simultaneously.

Objective: The aim of this study was to construct light and temperature dual-sensitive micellar carriers loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and gold nanorods (DOX-GNRs-PNIPAM@PEG-PLA, DAPP) for melanoma therapy.Methods: The DAPP self-assembled using fine-tuned physicochemical properties in water. The DAPP structure, temperature- and photo-sensitivity, drug-release, in-vitro serum stability, and cytotoxicity against melanoma B16F10 cells were evaluated in detail. The corresponding in-vitro and in-vivo therapeutic mechanisms were then evaluated using a B16F10-melanoma bearing BALB/c nude mouse model (B16F10).Results: The light and temperature sensitive micellar drug-delivery system assembled from block copolymer and gold nanorods exhibited a narrow particle size and size distribution, good biocompatibility, well-designed photo-temperature conversion, controlled drug release, and high serum stability. Compared with the free DOX- and PBS-treated groups, the cell endocytosis-mediated cytotoxicity and intra-tumor accumulation of DAPP was markedly enhanced by the NIR-light exposure and induced potent in-vivo tumor inhibitory activity.Conclusion: The design of DAPP, a dual-functional micellar drug-delivery system with temperature- and light-sensitive properties, offers a new strategy for skin-cancer therapy with a potent therapeutic index.
