    Roadmap on Multifunctional Materials for Drug Delivery
    (IOP Publishing, 2024) Nottelet, Benjamin; Buwalda, Sytze; van Nostrum, Cornelus F.; Zhao, Xiaofei; Deng, Chao; Zhong, Zhiyuan; Cheah, Ernest; Kehr, Nermin Seda
    This Roadmap on drug delivery aims to cover some of the most recent advances in the field of materials for drug delivery systems (DDSs) and emphasizes the role that multifunctional materials play in advancing the performance of modern DDSs in the context of the most current challenges presented. The Roadmap is comprised of multiple sections, each of which introduces the status of the field, the current and future challenges faced, and a perspective of the required advances necessary for biomaterial science to tackle these challenges. It is our hope that this collective vision will contribute to the initiation of conversation and collaboration across all areas of multifunctional materials for DDSs. We stress that this article is not meant to be a fully comprehensive review but rather an up-to-date snapshot of different areas of research, with a minimal number of references that focus upon the very latest research developments.

    Fabrication and in Vitro Evaluation of Thermally Cross-Linked Gelatin Nanofibers for Drug Delivery Applications
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Mete, Derya; Göktaş, Gözde; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah
    In this study, four different nanofibers consisting of gelatin (Gel), doxorubicin (DOX) with gel (DOX@Gel), a composite of gel with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGylated-gel), and DOX@PEGylated-gel were fabricated. Subsequently, the nanofibers were thermally cross-linked in order to offer a stable and biocompatible alternative for the biological applications of nanofibers such as drug delivery and tissue engineering. Nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and confocal microscopy. The formation of smooth, continuous, and uniform nanofibers was observed and the addition of PEG resulted in an increase whereas the incorporation of DOX into nanofibers had no significant change in the diameter of nanofibers. Crosslinking also enlarged the diameter of all nanofibers and the most dramatic increase was observed 53% by DOX@PEGylated-gel. Afterward, the biological performance of the nanofibers was investigated by drug release profile, cytotoxicity on A549 cell line as well as antimicrobial activity with E. coli and S. aureus. The results indicate an enhanced drug release profile, moderate antimicrobial activity, and reasonable cytotoxic efficiency for thermally cross-linked nanofibers compared to uncross-linked nanofibers.

    Ph Responsive Glycopolymer Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Anti-Cancer Drugs
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) Yılmaz, Gökhan; Güler, Emine; Geyik, Caner; Demir, Bilal; Özkan, Melek; Odacı Demirkol, Dilek; Özçelik, Serdar; Timur, Suna; Becer, C. Remzi
    Over the past decade, there has been a great deal of interest in the integration of nanotechnology and carbohydrates. The advances in glyconanotechnology have allowed the creation of different bioactive glyconanostructures for different types of medical applications, especially for drug delivery and release systems. Therefore, the use of more efficient biocompatible nanocarriers with high loading capacity, low overall toxicity and receptor-mediated endocytosis specificity is still in focus for the enhancement of the therapeutic effect. Conjugation of sugar derivatives onto gold nanoparticles presents unique properties that include a wide array of assembling models and size-related electronic, magnetic and optical properties. Here, pH-responsive drug-conjugated glycopolymer-coated gold nanoparticles were prepared by functionalization of gold nanoparticles with thiol-terminated glycopolymers and then subsequent conjugation of doxorubicin (DOX). Among the four different glycopolymers, their drug release, physicochemical characterization (spectroscopy, particle size and surface charge) and in vitro bioapplications with four different cell lines were compared. As a result, pH-sensitive drug delivery via sugar-coated AuNPs was performed thanks to hydrazone linkages between glycopolymers and DOX. Comparative viability tests also demonstrated the efficiency of glycopolymer-DOX conjugates by fluorescence cell imaging. The obtained results reveal that AuNP homoglycopolymer DOX conjugates (P4D) have significant potential, especially in human neuroblastoma cells in comparison to cervical cancer cells and lung cancer cells.
