Ultrasonic Transformation of Antibiotic Molecules into a Selective Chemotherapeutic Nanodrug. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - Ultrasound technology (490 kHz) is being used to create carrier-free nanodrugs from small chemotherapeutic and antibiotic molecules, presenting a green synthetic method.
  • - Doxycycline was successfully turned into stable nanodrugs (~130 nm) that effectively target cancer cells while having minimal impact on healthy cells, and this process did not need harmful solvents or chemicals.
  • - Advanced imaging techniques revealed how these nanodrugs enter and move within cells, indicating their potential as a targeted cancer treatment by transforming antibiotic drugs into effective cancer-fighting agents.

Article Abstract

Ultrasound-based engineering of carrier-free nanodrugs by supramolecular self-assembly has recently emerged as an innovative and environmentally friendly synthetic approach. By applying high-frequency sound waves (490 kHz) in aqueous solutions, the transformation of small chemotherapeutic and antibiotic drug molecules into carrier-free nanodrugs with anticancer and antimicrobial activities was recently achieved. The transformation of the antibiotic drug molecules, i.e., doxycycline, into stable nanodrugs (~130 nm) with selective anticancer activity was achieved without requiring organic solvents, chemical agents, or surfactants. The obtained nanodrug exhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cytotoxicity on human breast cancer (MDA-MB 231 cells) but a negligible antiproliferative effect on healthy fibroblast cells. Imaging by super-resolution microscopy (STORM) provided insights into the intracellular trafficking and endosomal escape of the nanodrugs. Overall, these findings suggest that small antibiotic drugs can be transformed into chemotherapeutic nanodrugs with high selectivity against cancer cells.
