Magnetic, pH and temperature-sensitive, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)-based nanocomposites with fluorescent properties were synthesized by free radical copolymerization-cross linking of NIPAM, N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and 4-acrylamidofluorescein (AFA). The model anti-cancer drug, cisplatin (CDDP), was loaded into the resulted nanogel. For the production of CDDP-loaded nanocomposite, FeO magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and CDDP were loaded into the nanogel. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) indicated that the size of nanogel and CDDP-loaded nanocomposite were about 90 and 160 nm, respectively. The encapsulation efficiency of CCDP was found up to 65%. The loaded CCDP showed sustained thermal and pH-responsive drug release. A high level of drug release was observed under the conditions of low pH and high temperature. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of synthesized nanogel was about 40 °C. CDDP-loaded nanocomposite showed a volume phase transition from 282 to 128 nm at its LCST. Accordingly, in this study, the synthesized nanocomposite can be employed as a stimuli-responsive anti-cancer drug delivery system and the pH and temperature of solution have the potential to monitor the drug release.

The perplexing issues related to positive surgical margins and the considerable negative consequences associated with systemic chemotherapy have posed ongoing challenges for clinicians, especially when it comes to addressing bladder cancer treatment. The current investigation describes the production of nanocomposites loaded with gemcitabine (GEM) and cisplatin (CDDP) through the utilization of electrospinning technology. In vitro and in vivo studies have provided evidence of the strong effectiveness in suppressing tumor advancement while simultaneously reducing the accumulation of chemotherapy drugs within liver and kidney tissues.

The advent of bio-nanotechnology has revolutionized nanodrug delivery by improving drug efficacy and safety. Nevertheless, acceptable carriers for therapeutic molecules are one of the most difficult challenges in drug delivery. Graphene material-based (GMB) and polymer-based drug-loaded nanocarriers have both demonstrated clinical advantages in delivering drugs of interest /.

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy demonstrates potential applicability in the treatment of peritoneally disseminated ovarian cancer because the disseminated tumors can directly receive exposure to high concentrations of anticancer drugs. However, a considerable proportion of drugs, particularly micromolecular and hydrophilic drugs, such as cisplatin (CDDP), are often excreted through glomerular filtration for a short period. To effectively deliver CDDP into peritoneally disseminated ovarian cancer tissues, we developed an alginate (AL)-based hybrid system in which a CDDP-loaded AL nanogel (AL/CDDP-nanogel) was encapsulated in an injectable AL-hydrogel cross-linked with calcium ions.

Presently, tissue engineering approaches have been focused toward finding new potential scaffolds with osteoconductivity on bone-disease-affected cells. This work focused on the cisplatin (CDDP)-loaded graphene oxide (GO)/hydroxyapatite (HAP)/chitosan (CS) composite for enhancing the growth of osteoblast cells and prevent the development of osteosarcoma cells. The prepared composites were characterized for the confirmation of composite formation using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques.
