We investigated the preparation of ultrasound-triggered drug delivery system, based on a pendant complex of microbubble coated with liposomes. Biotinylated decafluorobutane microbubbles were coated with biotinylated liposomes via a streptavidin linker. Liposomes were prepared incorporating calcein and thrombin. Based on initial concentration of calcein, over 1 um(3) payload volume per each microbubble-liposome particle was achieved, when 100 nm liposomes were used. Insonation of microbubble-liposome pendants in vitro resulted in the complete destruction of microbubbles and triggered release of a significant fraction of the entrapped material. Treatment with 1MHz ultrasound (5 pulses, 100 ms, 7 MPa peak negative acoustic pressure) resulted in the release of ~30% of entrapped calcein, as estimated by the fluorescence quenching assay. Thrombin release from liposomes complexed with microbubbles (11% of entrapped material) due to ultrasound treatment was estimated by a chromogenic substrate study. Prior to insonation, substrate hydrolysis was at background level. Ultrasound-triggered release of thrombin from the pendant complexes caused an acceleration of blood clotting.

Sonochemotherapy (SCT) has emerged as a powerful modality for cancer treatment by triggering excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and controlled release of chemotherapeutic agents under ultrasound. However, achieving spatiotemporally controlled release of chemotherapeutic agents during ROS generation is still an enormous challenge. In this work, we developed a cascade-activated nanoprodrug () system that utilizes a reversible covalent Schiff base mixed with a hypoxia-activatable camptothecin (CPT) prodrug.

This study addresses the challenge of enhancing ferroptosis efficacy for tumor therapy, particularly the limited therapeutic efficiency of current inducers due to tumor microenvironment constraints. Herein, we developed a hollow ultrasound-triggered ZnFeO-BiMoO (ZB) S-scheme heterojunction loaded with artesunate (ART) to overcome these limitations. The ZB heterojunction with a particle size of ∼250 nm efficiently separates electron-hole pairs under ultrasound (US), promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Chemotherapy is the primary therapy for colorectal cancer. However, its efficacy has been limited by chemoresistance, which is mainly caused by inadequate intratumoral drug accumulation and immunosuppressive microenvironments. To address these limitations, we developed a low-intensity ultrasound (LIU)-controlled and charge-reversible nanogel (R-NG), utilizing conjugated chitosan-polypyrrole polymers linked via thioketal bonds, with TiO absorbed onto its surface.

Nanoparticles have proven to be attractive carriers in therapeutic drug delivery since they can encapsulate, protect and stabilize a plethora of different drugs, thereby improving therapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects. However, specific targeting of drug-loaded nanoparticles to the tissue of interest and a timely and spatially controlled release of drugs on demand still represent a challenge. Recently, gas-filled microparticles, so-called antibubbles, have been developed which can efficiently encapsulate liquid drug droplets.

Ultrasound (US)-triggered cavitation of drug-loaded microbubbles (MBs) represents a promising approach for targeted drug delivery, with substantial benefits attainable through precise control over drug release dosage and form. This study investigates Camptothecin-loaded MBs (CPT-MBs) and Doxorubicin-loaded MBs (DOX-MBs), focusing on how properties such as hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, and charged functional groups affect their interaction with the lipid surfaces of MBs, thereby influencing the fundamental characteristics and acoustic properties of the drug-loaded MBs. In comparison to DOX-MBs, CPT-MBs showed larger MB size (2.
