The dose-dependent cardiomyopathy of adriamycin (doxorubicin) limits its long-term clinical use, which is revealed as a consequence of cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. As a ferrous iron (Fe 2 + )-dependent regulated cell death pathway, ferroptosis is induced by the tailored lipid peroxides in the cell membranes. Herein, iron-chelating polymer micelles are reported for concurrent doxorubicin delivery and cardiotoxicity reduction. The amphiphilic polymer consists of methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)- co -poly (glutamic acid) copolymer as the backbone and deferiprone analog as the side chain. The chiral polymer adopted the α-helix conformation to enable prolonged retention in the cell membranes, resulting in efficient iron chelation, ferroptosis inhibition, and cardiotoxicity reduction. The co-encapsulation of doxorubicin and coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10 ) in micelles further alleviates the cardiotoxicity because the reduced CoQ 10 can act as a radical trapping agent to constrain lipid peroxidation and cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. The reduction of cardiotoxicity is accompanied by enhanced anticancer efficacy in an in vivo murine breast cancer model. The chiral iron-chelating polymer micelles can be a promising platform for enhanced doxorubicin delivery and reduced cardiac adverse effects.

Recently, the good physical and chemical properties, well-defined pore architectures, and designable topologies have made microporous organic networks (MONs) excellent potential candidates in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). However, their superior hydrophobic structures restrict their application in the reversed-phase mode. To solve this obstacle and to expand the application of MONs in HPLC, we realized the thiol-yne “click” postsynthesis of a novel hydrophilic MON-2COOH@SiO 2 -MER (MER denotes mercaptosuccinic acid) microsphere for reversed-phase/hydrophilic interaction mixed-mode chromatography. SiO 2 was initially decorated with MON-2COOH using 2,5-dibromoterephthalic acid and tetrakis(4-ethynylphenyl)methane as monomers, and MER was then grafted via thiol-yne click reaction to yield MON-2COOH@SiO 2 -MER microspheres (5 μm) with a pore size of ~1.3 nm. The -COOH groups in 2,5-dibromoterephthalic acid and the post-modified MER molecules considerably improved the hydrophilicity of pristine MON and enhanced the hydrophilic interactions between the stationary phase and analytes. The retention mechanisms of the MON-2COOH@SiO 2 -MER packed column were fully discussed with diverse hydrophobic and hydrophilic probes. Benefiting from the numerous -COOH recognition sites and benzene rings within MON-2COOH@SiO 2 -MER, the packed column exhibited good resolution for the separation of sulfonamides, deoxynucleosides, alkaloids, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. A column efficiency of 27,556 plates per meter was obtained for the separation of gastrodin. The separation performance of the MON-2COOH@SiO 2 -MER packed column was also demonstrated by comparing with those of MON-2COOH@SiO 2 , commercial C18, ZIC-HILIC, and bare SiO 2 columns. This work highlights the good potential of the thiol-yne click postsynthesis strategy to construct MON-based stationary phases for mixed-mode chromatography. Graphical Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of organic pollutants ubiquitous and persistent in soil. In order to provide a viable solution for bioremediation of PAHs-contaminated soil, a strain of Achromobacter xylosoxidans BP1 with superior PAHs degradation ability was isolated from contaminated soil at a coal chemical site in northern China. The degradation of phenanthrene (PHE) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) by strain BP1 was investigated in three different liquid phase cultures, and the removal rates of PHE and BaP by strain BP1 were 98.47% and 29.86% after 7 days under the conditions of PHE and BaP as the only carbon source, respectively. In the medium with the coexistence of PHE and BaP, the removal rates of BP1 were 89.44% and 9.42% after 7 days, respectively. Then, strain BP1 was investigated for its feasibility in remediating PAH-contaminated soil. Among the four PAHs-contaminated soils treated differently, the treatment inoculated with BP1 exhibited higher removal rates of PHE and BaP (p < 0.05), especially the CS-BP1 treatment (inoculation of BP1 into unsterilized PAHs-contaminated soil) showed 67.72%, 13.48% removal of PHE and BaP, respectively, over 49 days of incubation. Bioaugmentation also significantly increased the activity of dehydrogenase and catalase in the soil (p＜0.05). Furthermore, the effect of bioaugmentation on the removal of PAHs was investigated by measuring the activity of dehydrogenase (DH) and catalase (CAT) during incubation. Among them, the DH and CAT activities of CS-BP1 and SCS-BP1 (inoculation of BP1 into sterilized PAHs-contaminated soil) treatments inoculated with strain BP1 were significantly higher than those of treatments without BP1 addition during incubation (p < 0.01). The structure of the microbial community varied among treatments, but the Proteobacteria phylum showed the highest relative abundance in all treatments of the bioremediation process, and most of the bacteria with higher relative abundance at the genus level also belonged to the Proteobacteria phylum. Prediction of microbial functions in soil by FAPROTAX analysis showed that bioaugmentation enhanced microbial functions associated with the degradation of PAHs. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of Achromobacter xylosoxidans BP1 as a PAH-contaminated soil degrader for the risk control of PAHs contamination.

Background Phototherapy is a potential new candidate for glioblastoma (GBM) treatment. However inadequate phototherapy due to stability of the photosensitizer and low target specificity induces the proliferation of neovascular endothelial cells for angiogenesis and causes poor prognosis.Methods In this study, we constructed c(RGDfk)-modified glycolipid-like micelles (cRGD-CSOSA) encapsulating indocyanine green (ICG) for dual-targeting neovascular endothelial cells and tumor cells, and cRGD-CSOSA/ICG mediated dual effect of PDT/PTT with NIR irradiation.Results In vitro, cRGD-CSOSA/ICG inhibited cell proliferation and blocked angiogenesis with NIR irradiation. In vivo, cRGD-CSOSA/ICG exhibited increased accumulation in neovascular endothelial cells and tumor cells. Compared with that of CSOSA, the accumulation of cRGD-CSOSA in tumor tissue was further improved after dual-targeted phototherapy pretreatment. With NIR irradiation, the tumor-inhibition rate of cRGD-CSOSA/ICG was 80.00%, significantly higher than that of ICG (9.08%) and CSOSA/ICG (42.42%). Histological evaluation showed that the tumor vessels were reduced and that the apoptosis of tumor cells increased in the cRGD-CSOSA/ICG group with NIR irradiation.Conclusion The cRGD-CSOSA/ICG nanoparticle-mediated dual-targeting phototherapy could enhance drug delivery to neovascular endothelial cells and tumor cells for anti-angiogenesis and improve the phototherapy effect of glioblastoma, providing a new strategy for glioblastoma treatment.

Purpose Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an emerging binary radiotherapy, which is limited for application due to the challenge of targeted delivery into tumor nowadays. Here, we propose the use of iRGD-modified polymeric nanoparticles for active targeted delivery of boron and doxorubicin (DOX) in BNCT.Methods 10B-enriched BSH was covalently grafted to PEG-PCCL to prepare 10B-polymer, then surface-modified with iRGD. And, DOX was physically incorporated into polymers afterwards. Characterization of prepared polymers and in vitro release profile of DOX from polymers were determined by several methods. Cellular uptake of DOX was observed by confocal microscope. Accumulation of boron in cells and tissues was analyzed by ICP-MS. Biodistribution of DOX was studied by ex vivo fluorescence imaging and quantitative measurement. Tumor vascular normalization of Endostar for promoting delivery efficiency of boron on refractory B16F10 tumor was also studied.Results The polymers were monodisperse and spheroidal in water with an average diameter of 24.97 nm, which were relatively stable at physiological pH and showed a sustained release of DOX, especially at endolysosomal pH. Enhanced cellular delivery of DOX was found in iRGD-modified polymer group. Cellular boron uptake of iRGD-modified polymers in A549 cells was remarkably raised fivefold (209.83 ng 10B/106 cells) compared with BSH. The polymers represented prolonged blood circulation, enhanced tumor accumulation of 10B against BSH, and favorable tumor:normal tissue boron concentration ratios (tumor:blood = 14.11, tumor:muscle = 19.49) in A549 tumor-bearing mice 24 hrs after injection. Both fluorescence imaging and quantitative measurement showed the highest tumor accumulation of DOX at 24 hrs after injecting of iRGD-modified polymers. Improvement of vascular integrity and reduction of vascular mimicries were found after Endostar injection, and raised tumor accumulation of boron as well.Conclusion The developed nanoparticle is an inspiring candidate for the safe clinical application for BNCT.

Purpose: A series of β-CD amphiphilic star-shaped copolymers with exceptional characteristics were synthesized and their potential as carriers for micelles drug delivery was investigated.Methods: A series of amphiphilic copolymers based on β-CD were synthesized by introducing poly (acrylic acid)-co-poly(methyl methacrylate)-poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) or poly (acrylic acid)-co-poly(methyl methacrylate)-co-poly(monoacylated-β-CD)-poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) blocks to the primary hydroxyl group positions of β-CD. The micellization behavior of the copolymers, the synthesis conditions, characteristics, drug release in vitro and tissue distribution of vinpocetine (VP) micelles in vivo were investigated.Results: Around 60 types of β-CD amphiphilic star-shaped copolymers were successfully synthesized and the critical micelle concentration ranged from 9.80 × 10−4 to 5.24 × 10−2g/L. The particle size, drug loading and entrapment efficiency of VP-loaded β-CD-P4 micelles prepared with optimal formulation were about 65 nm, 21.44 ± 0.14%, and 49.05 ± 0.36%, respectively. The particles had good sphericity. The cumulative release rates at 72 h of VP-loaded β-CD-P4 micelles in pH 1.0, pH 4.5, pH 6.5, or pH 7.4 media were 93%, 69%, 49%, and 43%, respectively. And, the lung targeting efficiency of VP-loaded β-CD-P4 micelles was 8.98 times higher than that of VP injection.Conclusion: The VP-loaded β-CD-P4 micelles exhibited controlled-release property, pH-induced feature and lung targeting capacity compared with VP injection, suggesting that the β-CD-P4 copolymers are an excellent candidate for micelles drug delivery.

In this study, hyaluronic acid (HA) and curcumin (CCM) are used as functional molecular skeletons to prepare a reticular polymer HA-CCM* via the free radical polymerization reaction. The results showed that HA-CCM* formed nanomicelles through self-assembly in the aqueous medium. These nanomicelles were seen as star-shaped micelles and the particle diameter distribution range of 220–280 nm, which are used to carry doxorubicin (DOX) with a high drug loading and an entrapment efficiency. The experiment of drug release in vitro indicated that HA-CCM* micelles showed significant acid sensitivity. The anticancer activity of DOX-loaded by HA-CCM* micelles (HA-CCM* + DOX) was quantified by MTT assay , indicating that the cytotoxicity of HA-CCM* + DOX to human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa) and human renal cell adenocarcinoma cell line (786-O) was significantly improved and to normal human renal epithelial cell line (293A) was obviously reduced. DOX from HA-CCM* + DOX micelles can enter into the cells and resulted in cell death. The multifunctional HA-CCM* micelles have good prospects in the field of drug delivery. Overall, these results confirmed the potential of these nanomicelles for carrying DOX in the improved cancer chemotherapy.

A direct immersion solid-phase microextraction (DI-SPME) approach for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) based on hybrid fiber coating of ionic liquid and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) is presented. To fabricate the task-specific coating for the enrichment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 1-butyl-3-vinylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide (IL) and POSS were rapidly photoinitiated copolymerized within 5 min on a stainless steel fiber. The high efficient extraction of target analytes can be attributed to a combined result of multiple interactions including the strong C F⋯H C pseudohydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic force, and molecular sieve effect. A wide linear range (0.04–400 ng L −1 ) with low detection limits in the range of 0.004 and 0.5 ng L −1 were obtained for PAHs by GC–MS. The applicability of this coupling method was successfully demonstrated by the analysis of trace PAHs in real river water and soil samples, with satisfied recoveries (84.2–108.6%) and relative standard deviations (<8.1%). Compared to the other commercial fiber-based SPME methods, the IL/POSS hybrid coating-based SPME is much cheaper, thermally stable and capable of eliminating possible deleterious effects as well.

Biodegradable and stimuli-responsive polymers have been widely explored due to their great potential in various biomedical applications. Here, biodegradable and oxidation-responsive poly(ester-thioether)s with different backbones were prepared by polymerization of dithiols and diacrylates. Two isomeric dithiol monomers, 2,3-dimercaptobutane (DMB) and 1,4-butanedithiol (BDT), were employed to synthesize poly(ester-thioether)s in the presence of 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDA). The polymerization and oxidation kinetics of poly(ester-thioether)s were found to be controllable by tuning the polymer backbones, which were prepared using different monomers. The polymerization kinetics demonstrated that BDT showed a faster polymerization rate than DMB due to less steric hindrance. Poly(ester-thioether)s PHBD and PHDM, which were prepared from BDT and DMB with HDA, respectively, showed the fastest and slowest oxidation-responsiveness both in THF solution and in the form of polymer films. Finally, the potential application of poly(ester-thioether)s as drug vehicles for anticancer therapy was confirmed by using doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug. The DOX-loaded micelle DOX/mPEG-PHBD showed much faster H2O2-responsive drug release and better anticancer efficacy in both MCF-7 and 4T1 cells due to the higher sensitivity of PHBD to H2O2.

Heteroatom doping can endow graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with various new or improved structural, optical and physicochemical properties. In contrast to the widely reported oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur doping in GQDs, simple and scalable synthesis of boron-doped GQDs (B-GQDs) with high yield and quantum yields remains challenge. In this work, B-GQDs are one-step synthesized and serve as the fluorescence probes for the fabrication of sensors towards Fe 3+ ion or phosphate (Pi) as well as biosensor towards cytochrome C (Cyt C). The B-GQDs are facile synthesized using one-step bottom-up molecular fusion between 1,3,6-trinitropyrene and borax in sodium hydroxide under hydrothermal process. The synthesis can be performed using large volume autoclave (500 ml) with a high yield of 71%, indicating possibility for gram-scale production of B-GQDs. The as-prepared B-GQDs exhibit single or bilayer graphene structure, high crystallinity , uniform size, bright (absolute photoluminescence quantum yield of 16.8%) and excitation-independent green fluorescence (maximum excitation wavelength and emission wavelength of 480 nm and 520 nm, respectively). Successful doping of B atoms in the lattice of GQDs enables high selectivity towards Fe 3+ . Based on quenching of fluorescence of B-GQDs by Fe 3+ (turn-off model), detection of Fe 3+ (with limit of detection-LOD of 31.2 nM) and Fe 3+ -rich Cyt C (with LOD of 5.9 μg/ml) are demonstrated. As Pi can recover Fe 3+ -quenched fluorescence of B-GQDs (turn-off-on model), indirect fluorescent detection of Pi is also achieved with LOD of 340 nM. In addition, detection of Fe 3+ , Cyt C and Pi in real samples is achieved.

The accumulation of nanoparticles in tumors by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect is effective and well known. However, how to maximize accumulation is still a bottleneck in the development of nanomedicine. Herein, a tumor vascular-targeted hybrid polymeric micelle, which has a great capacity to selectively augment the EPR effect of nanoparticles by dilating tumor blood vessels via the activity of nitric oxide (NO), is presented. Under neutral conditions, the micelle is stable, with a long blood circulation half-life due to the carboxylated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) layer; in mildly acidic tumor tissues, the micelle can selectively target the tumor blood vessels by the exposed cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp peptide (cRGD) peptides, which is realized with a pH-dependent hydrolysis of the monomethoxy PEG layer. Simultaneously, exposed copper ions catalyze the decomposition of endogenous NO donors, which generates NO in situ, leading to vasodilation and increased tumor vascular permeability. As a result, the accumulation of nanoparticles is significantly enhanced, and a high accumulation of doxorubicin in tumors is achieved at 48 h after injection. This high dose of therapeutic agent produces a large inhibition of tumor growth (94%) in cancer treatment, and shows no general toxicity, with 100% of the mice surviving the treatment regimen.

A novel magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) sorbent, magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotube-octadecylphosphonic acid modified zirconia (mMWCNT–ZrO2–C18) composite, was fabricated via a simple solvothermal reduction method to extract polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from edible oils, coupling with high performance liquid chromatography analysis. The hydrophobic ZrO2–C18 nanoparticles were introduced to enhance the extraction capability. Factors influencing the extraction efficiency, i.e. the type and volume of desorption solvent, amount of the sorbent, and adsorption and desorption time, were systematically investigated. Under the optimal conditions, calibration curves were linear (R2 > 0.9937) over the concentration range from 0.20 to 200 ng g−1. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) and limits of quantification (S/N = 10) achieved were in the range of 0.06–0.55 and 0.20–1.83 ng g−1, respectively. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations were less than 7.21%. A comparative study indicated that higher recoveries were obtained by using mMWCNT–ZrO2–C18 compared to when using bare mMWCNTs. The results indicated that the mMWCNT–ZrO2–C18 nanomaterial was endowed with great adsorption capability and had significant potential in the preconcentration of PAHs from edible oil samples.
