The review focuses on the analysis of various methods of obtaining and applying therapeutic materials used for targeted drug delivery to the lesion site of cancer patients. Special attention is paid to creation of targeted drugs by using nanotransporters, obtained by dispersing lipids in water and, in particular, liposomes; efficiencyof such nanotransporters depends the nature of drugs introduced into them (cytostatics). The review also describes methods of targeted transport of cytostatics to tumor tissues. The use of hydrogel therapeutic compositions based on biopolymers polysaccharides for the targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs introduced into them, allows to control the mass transfer rate of drugs to tumor and to create therapeutic materials with predetermined properties in terms of drug concentration in the lesion site and time prolongation, which reduces toxicity of the treatment and increase its effectiveness.

Leishmaniasis is a widely distributed protozoan vector-born disease affecting almost 350 million people. Initially, chemotherapeutic drugs were employed for leishmania treatment but they had toxic side effects. Various nanotechnology-based techniques and products have emerged as anti-leishmanial drugs, including liposomes, lipid nano-capsules, metal and metallic oxide nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanovaccines, due to their unique properties, such as bioavailability, lowered toxicity, targeted drug delivery, and biodegradability. Many new studies have emerged with nanoparticles serving as promising therapeutic agent for anti-leishmanial disease treatment. Liposomal Amphotericin B (AmB) is one of the successful nano-based drugs with high efficacy and negligible toxicity. A new nanovaccine concept has been studied as a carrier for targeted delivery. This review discusses different nanotechnology-based techniques, materials, and their efficacies in leishmaniasis treatment and their futuristic improvements.

Cd13 Receptor

Doxorubicin is one of the widely known and frequently used chemotherapy drugs for the treatment of various types of cancer, the use of which is difficult due to its high cardiotoxicity. Targeted drug delivery systems are being developed to reduce side effects. One of the promising components as vector molecules (ligands) are NGR-containing peptides that are affinity for the CD13 receptor, which is expressed on the surface of many tumor cells and tumor blood vessels. Previously, a method was developed for preparing a composition of doxorubicin embedded in phospholipid nanoparticles with a targeted fragment in the form of an ultrafine emulsion. The resulting composition was characterized by a small particle size (less than 40 nm) and a high degree of incorporation of doxorubicin (about 93%) into transport nanoparticles. When assessing the penetrating ability and the degree of binding to the surface of fibrosarcoma cells (HT-1080), it was shown that when the composition with the targeted fragment was added to the cells, the level of doxorubicin was almost 2 times higher than that of the liposomal form of doxorubicin, i.e. the drug in the system with the targeted peptide penetrated the cell better. At the same time, on the control line of breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7), which do not express the CD13 receptor on the surface, there was not significant difference in the level of doxorubicin in the cells. The data obtained allow us to draw preliminary conclusions about the prospects of targeted delivery of doxorubicin to tumor cells when using a peptide conjugate containing an NGR motif and the further need for its comprehensive study.

Background: Currently, different approaches of active and passive targeted drug delivery are being developed. One of the most promising methods of targeted drug delivery is the use of capsules. For instance, colloidosomes—capsules consisting of the shell formed by colloidal particles at the interface of the emulsion—can be used for targeted delivery of antitumor drugs or any other drugs in liquid form. Here we present results of cryo-EM study of submicrocapsules with the soybean oil core and with the shell consisting of SiO2 nanoparticles and detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) stabilized with chitosan and alginate. Methods: Сryo-electron tomography (Cryo-ET) was used to identify the morphological features of the submicrocapsules. Preliminary screening of samples and cryo-ET data collection were performed using Titan Krios cryo-EM (ThermoFisher Scientific, US) equipped with Falcon 2 direct electron detector. The restoration of the tomographic series was carried out using IMOD software. Eman2 was used for segmentation and UCSF Chimera was used for visualization of the 3D model. Submicron capsules were obtained by stabilizing oil droplets with a mixture of SiO2 nanoparticles and DNDs. To form a stable shell, an additional layer of silica particles and polyelectrolyte layers of alginate/chitosan were applied to the droplets of the dispersed phase of the emulsion by physical adsorption. Results: Cryo-EM data showed the presence of submicrocapsules with a diameter in the range of 200-900 nm. Although a significant fraction of submicrocapsules was found to be partially destroyed, results of cryo-ET study of intact capsules demonstrated that silicon dioxide nanoparticles form a net, while DNDs form clusters. Conclusion: Here we demonstrate the results of the study of submicron capsules with a shell of silica nanoparticles and DNDs. It was found that a uniform distribution of DNDs is not a prerequisite for the creation of submicron capsules that contradicts the theoretical model.

Targeted Drug Delivery Systems

Background: Target-homing drug delivery systems are now gaining significant attention for use as novel therapeutic approaches in antitumor targeting for cancer therapy. Numerous targeted drug delivery systems have been designed to improve the targeting effects because these systems can display a range of favorable properties, thus, providing suitable characteristics for clinical applicability of anticancer drugs, such as increasing the solubility, and improving the drug distribution at target sites. The majority of these targeting systems are designed with respect to differences between cancerous and normal tissues, for instance, the low pH of tumor tissues or overexpressed receptors on tumor cell membranes. Due to the growing number of targeting possibilities, it is important to know the tumor-specific recognition strategies for designing novel, targeted, drug delivery systems. Herein, we identify and summarize literature pertaining to various recognition sites for optimizing the design of targeted drug delivery systems to augment current chemotherapeutic approaches. Objective: This review focuses on the identification of the recognition sites for developing targeted drug delivery systems for use in cancer therapeutics. Method: We have reviewed and compiled cancer-specific recognition sites and their abnormal characteristics within tumor tissues (low pH, high glutathione, targetable receptors, etc.), tumor cells (receptor overexpression or tumor cell membrane changes) and tumor cell organelles (nuclear and endoplasmic reticular dysregulation) utilizing existing scientific literature. Moreover, we have highlighted the design of some targeted drug delivery systems that can be used as homing tools for these recognition sites. Results and Conclusion: Targeted drug delivery systems are a promising therapeutic approach for tumor chemotherapy. Additional research focused on finding novel recognition sites, and subsequent development of targeting moieties for use with drug delivery systems will aid in the evaluation and clinical application of new and improved chemotherapeutics.

Prostate Cancers

The field of nanomedicine has emerged as an approach to enhance the specificity and efficacy of cancer treatments as stand-alone therapies and in combination with standard chemotherapeutic treatment regimens. The current standard of care for metastatic cancer, doxorubicin (DOX), is presented with challenges, namely toxicity due to a lack of specificity and targeted delivery. Nano-enabled targeted drug delivery systems can provide an avenue to overcome these issues. Nanodiamonds (ND), in particular, have been researched over the past five years for use in various drug delivery systems but minimal work has been done that incorporates targeting capability. In this study, a novel targeted drug delivery system for bone metastatic prostate cancer was developed, characterized, and evaluated in vitro. NDs were conjugated with the Asp–Gly–Glu–Ala (DGEA) peptide to target α2β1 integrins over-expressed in prostate cancers during metastasis. To facilitate drug delivery, DOX was adsorbed to the surface of the ND-DGEA conjugates. Successful preparation of the ND-DGEA conjugates and the ND-DGEA+DOX system was confirmed with transmission electron microscopy, hydrodynamic size, and zeta potential measurements. Since traditional DOX treatment regimens lack specificity and increased toxicity to normal tissues, the ND-DGEA conjugates were designed to distinguish between cells that overexpress α2β1 integrin, bone metastatic prostate cancers cells (PC3), and cells that do not, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC). Utilizing the ND-DGEA+DOX system, the efficacy of 1 µg/mL and 2 µg/mL DOX doses increased from 2.5% to 12% cell death and 11% to 34% cell death, respectively. These studies confirmed that the delivery and efficacy of DOX were enhanced by ND-DGEA conjugates. Thus, the targeted ND-DGEA+DOX system provides a novel approach for decreasing toxicity and drug doses.

AbstractIn the present work, we constructed nanoscale graphene oxide (NGO) as a drug nanocarrier to improve the process of tumor-targeted drug releases, promote cellular uptake and accumulation of chemotherapy drugs in tumor tissues, and reduce the toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs on normal cells. Hence, great stability was obtained in the biological solution. Moreover, we designed an effective nanoparticle system for the doxorubicin (DOX) delivery targeting the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) by mediating the HN-1 (TSPLNIHNGQKL) through hydrogen and π–π bonds. DOX@NGO-PEG-HN-1 showed significantly higher cellular uptakes and cytotoxicity in OSCC cells (CAL-27 and SCC-25), compared to free DOX. Moreover, HN-1 showed considerable tumor-targeting and competition inhibition phenomenon. As we expected, the nanocarrier showed pH-responsive drug release. In total, our study represented a good technique to construct OSCC-targeted delivery of nanoparticles and improve the anticancer medicines’ efficiency.

AbstractOver the past decades, great interest has been given to biomimetic nanoparticles (BNPs) since the rise of targeted drug delivery systems and biomimetic nanotechnology. Biological vectors including cell membranes, extracellular vesicles (EVs), and viruses are considered promising candidates for targeted delivery owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. BNPs, the integration of biological vectors and functional agents, are anticipated to load cargos or camouflage synthetic nanoparticles to achieve targeted delivery. Despite their excellent intrinsic properties, natural vectors are deliberately modified to endow multiple functions such as good permeability, improved loading capability, and high specificity. Through structural modification and transformation of the vectors, they are pervasively utilized as more effective vehicles that can deliver contrast agents, chemotherapy drugs, nucleic acids, and genes to target sites for refractory disease therapy. This review summarizes recent advances in targeted delivery vectors based on cell membranes, EVs, and viruses, highlighting the potential applications of BNPs in the fields of biomedical imaging and therapy industry, as well as discussing the possibility of clinical translation and exploitation trend of these BNPs.
