The combination of magnetic nanoparticles with a porous silica is a composite that has attracted significant attention for potential multifunctional theranostic applications. In this study, 30 wt % CuFe2O4 was impregnated into a matrix of monodispersed spherical hydrophilic silica (HYPS) nanoparticles through a simple dry impregnation technique. The chemotherapy drug cisplatin was loaded through electrostatic equilibrium adsorption over 24 h in normal saline solution. The presence of cubic spinel CuFe2O4 on HYPS was confirmed through powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectroscopy (DR UV–vis) analysis. The HYPS particles showed a surface area of 170 m2/g, pore size of 8.3 nm and pore volume of 0.35 cm3/g. The cisplatin/CuFe2O4/HYPS nanoformulation showed the accumulation of copper ferrite nanoparticles on the surface and in the pores of HYPS with a surface area of 45 m2/g, pore size of 16 nm and pore volume ...

There are significant challenges in developing drug carriers for therapeutic perspective. We have investigated a novel nanocarrier system, based on combining functionalized magnetic nanocomposite with Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs). Magnetic nanoparticles modified using biocompatible copolymers may be suitable for delivering hydrophobic drugs, such as cisplatin. Furthermore, compared to polymeric nanocarriers, nanocomposite constructed from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) have demonstrated better drug loading capacity, as well as excellent pH-triggered drug release. Cisplatin-encapsulated Fe3O4@SiO2-ZIF-8@N-Chit-FA has been evaluated to determine the antitumor effects of free cisplatin enhancement in cervical cancer cells. In order to increase the stability of the proposed nanocarrier in aqueous solutions, in addition to the density of functional groups, a nano-chitosan layer was coated on top of the magnetic nanocomposite. It was then added with cisplatin onto the surface...

Cisplatin is a frequently used anticancer drug that has been developed as the first platinum-based anticancer drug. The cis configuration enables the coordination complex to be covalently binding to one or two DNA strands and thus crosslinking the DNA strands, causing the cells to die in a programmed manner. Cisplatin is administered as an IV infusion in saline solution for medication of solid malignity. Anticancer drugs usually have a variety of side effects, but an encapsulation of the drug in a suitable host material minimizes the side effects while improving the efficacy of the drug due to its slow release only at the target. The aim of this research is to develop a simple, but effective mechanism for the preparation of porous zinc oxide nanoparticles (PZnO NPs) using the forced hydrolysis method reaction of zinc acetate dihydrate with deionized water in diethylene glycol (DEG) media. This synthesized PZnO NPs were then characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Particle Size Analysis and Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD). The encapsulation of cisplatin within the porous zinc oxide nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), SEM, EDX, and FT-IR studies. Our results show that the synthesized nanoparticles have the hexagonal wurtzite structure as confirmed by PXRD. The average particle size as determined by light scattering is 52.4 ± 0.1 nm SEM images show porous spherical morphology with aggregated particles. XRF data of the cisplatin encapsulated product show a Pt: Cl ratio of 1:2 showing cisplatin encapsulation without any fragmentation or other chemical change. The presence of NH 3 in the encapsulated product is also apparent from FT-IR data. The encapsulation of the anti-cancer drug cisplatin to PZnO NPs and its pH dependence on the release of the drug from PZnO NPs was studied by measuring the amount of Pt released as a function of the time which was done using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) at λ max 265.94 nm. The encapsulation efficiency of Cisplatin into PZnO NPs was found to be 50.52%. The percentage of Cisplatin released from PZnO NPs during the first 7 hours was < 6.30% in the acetate/ phosphate buffer at pH 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0. The maximum release of 8.64% was observed at pH = 6.0 after 24 hours.

Nanoparticles (NPs) have a high potential for biological applications as they can be used as carriers for the controlled release of bioactive factors. Here we focused on poly(ethylenimine) (PEI)-coated iron oxide hybrid NPs obtained by hydrothermal synthesis in high pressure conditions and evaluated their behavior in culture medium in the presence or absence of cells, as well as their ability to incorporate antitumor drug cisplatin. Our results showed that the hydrothermal conditions used for Fe-PEI NPs synthesis allowed the incorporation of cisplatin, which even increased its anti-tumor effects. Furthermore, the commonly occurring phenomenon of NPs aggregation in culture medium was exploited for further entrapment of other active molecules, such as the fluorescent dye DiI and valinomycin. The molecules bound to NPs during synthesis or during aggregation process were delivered inside various cells after in vitro and in vivo direct contact between cells and NPs and their biological a...
In Vitro Studies of Fe3O4‐ZIF‐8 Core–Shell Nanoparticles Designed as Potential Theragnostics
Particle & Particle Systems Characterization, 2020
Theragnostics represent a combination of therapy and diagnosis within one system. Herein, Fe3O4‐ZIF‐8 core–shell nanoparticles are developed and suggested as candidates for theragnostic applications in cancer treatment. A drug loaded metal–organic framework ZIF‐8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8) represents the therapeutic tool, while the Fe3O4 core is included to enable the material visualization by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A reliable synthesis of Fe3O4‐ZIF‐8 core–shell nanoparticles of an average size below 100 nm is reported. The nanoparticles are characterized by FT‐IR, TGA, XRPD, TEM, STEM‐EDS, DLS, ICP‐OES, CHN‐elemental analysis, SQUID measurements, and MRI. Moreover, their chemical stability and in vitro cytotoxicity against fibroblast and selected cancer cell lines are evaluated. As a model drug, arsenic trioxide—a promising anticancer drug—is used. The drug release can be triggered by a pH change from 7.4 to 6.0 and the nanoparticles can be visualized by MRI in v...

Background Platinum-based drugs are widely used in cancer therapy, but are known for toxic side effects and resistance. Combinational drug delivery represents an effective chemotherapeutic strategy, but often leads to an increased toxicity. Aim of this study is to test the co-delivery of cisplatin with natural antioxidants on hierarchial porous large surface area hexagonal nanocarriers for synergistic action. Results A series of structured mesoporous materials were impregnated with magnetic spinel ferrite (30% CuFe2O4) and then coated with curcumin (25% wt/wt). Mesosilicalite and MCM-41 with high curcumin release abilities were functionalized with cisplatin (5% wt/wt) for synergistic effect of combinational drugs. The cytotoxic efficiency of our nanocomposites was tested on cell viability of MCF7 (human breast cancer), human cervical cancer (HeLa), colorectal cancer (HCT116), and HFF (human foreskin fibroblasts) cell lines using the MTT cell viability assay. At a concentration of 0....

In the field of cancer therapy, magnetic nanoparticles modified with biocompatible copolymers are promising vehicles for the delivery of hydrophobic drugs such as Cisplatin. The major aim of this effort was to evaluate whether Cisplatin-Encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles improved the anti-tumour effect of free Cisplatin in lung cancer cells. The PLGA-PEG triblock copolymer was synthesised by ring-opening polymerisation of D,L-lactide and glycolide with polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000 ) as an initiator. The bulk properties of these copolymers were characterised using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Cisplatin-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by double emulsion solvent evaporation technique and were characterised for size, drug entrapment efficiency (%), drug content (% w/w), and surface morphology. In vitro release profile of cisplatin-loaded NP formulations was determined. Cytotoxic assays were evaluated in lung carcinoma (A549)-treated cells by the MTT assay technique. In addition, the particles were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The anti-proliferative effect of Cisplatin appeared much earlier when the drug was encapsulated in magnetic nanoparticles than when it was free. Cisplatin-Encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles significantly enhanced the decrease in IC50 rate. The in vitro cytotoxicity test showed that the Fe 3 O 4 -PLGA-PEG 6000 magnetic nanoparticles had no cytotoxicity and were biocompatible. The chemotherapeutic effect of free Cisplatin on lung cancer cells is improved by its encapsulation in modified magnetic nanoparticles. This approach has the prospective to overcome some major limitations of conventional chemotherapy and may be a promising strategy for future applications in lung cancer therapy.

Cisplatin-functionalized three-dimensional magnetic SBA-16 for treating breast cancer cells (MCF-7)
Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology
The engineering of multifunctional therapeutics in an integrated single platform is demonstrated using three-dimensional SBA-16 (S-16). 10 wt% iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe) were loaded into the cage type of cubic pores through enforced adsorption technique. Fe/S-16 is then functionalized with amine-based silane (A), polyacrylic acid (P) and cisplatin (Cp). The physicochemical textural analysis showed the formation of nano metal oxide distributions at pore walls of S-16 with magnetization of 2.39 emu/g. S-16 based nanoformulations showed high percentage of Cp adsorption (90%) and percentage cumulative release (60%). in vitro study of Fe/S-16-A-Cp showed high toxicity against breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and normal cell line Human foreskin fibroblast (HFF-1) compared to Fe/S-16 indicating cisplatin profusion inside the cells than free cisplatin. While skin fibroblast seems to be resistant to Fe/S-16-AP-Cp with very high LC 50 in compare to MCF-7. This indicates the unrelease of cisplatin in skin fibroblast after Fe/S-16-AP-Cp treatment due to effective encapsulation inside the cubic pores and core blockage due to pH-sensitive polyacrylic acid. Also, these treatments resulted in morphological changes in the cells such as DNA condensation and nuclear fragmentation.
