Renal clearable nanocarriers: Overcoming the physiological barriers for precise drug delivery and clearance.

ABSTRACT: Physiological barriers encountered in the clinical translation of cancer nanomedicines inspire the community to more deeply understand nano-bio interactions in not only tumor microenvironment but also entire body and develop new nanocarriers to tackle these barriers. Renal clearable nanocarriers are one kind of these newly emerged drug delivery systems (DDSs), which enable drugs to rapidly penetrate into the tumor cores with no need of long blood retention and escape macrophage uptake in the meantime they can also enhance body elimination of non-targeted anticancer drugs. As a result, they can improve therapeutic efficacies and reduce side effects of anticancer drugs. Not limited to anticancer drugs, diagnostic agents can also be achieved with these renal clearable DDSs, which might also be applied to improve the precision in the gene editing and immunotherapy in the future.

Project description:Negatively charged tissues are ubiquitous in the human body and are associated with a number of common diseases yet remain an outstanding challenge for targeted drug delivery. While the anionic proteoglycans are critical for tissue structure and function, they make tissue matrix dense, conferring a high negative fixed charge density (FCD) that makes drug penetration through the tissue deep zones and drug delivery to resident cells extremely challenging. The high negative FCD of these tissues is now being utilized by taking advantage of electrostatic interactions to create positively charged multi-stage delivery methods that can sequentially penetrate through the full thickness of tissues, create a drug depot and target cells. After decades of work on attempting delivery using strong binding interactions, significant advances have recently been made using weak and reversible electrostatic interactions, a characteristic now considered essential to drug penetration and retention in negatively charged tissues. Here we discuss these advances using examples of negatively charged tissues (cartilage, meniscus, tendons and ligaments, nucleus pulposus, vitreous of eye, mucin, skin), and delve into how each of their structures, tissue matrix compositions and high negative FCDs create barriers to drug entry and explore how charge interactions are being used to overcome these barriers. We review work on tissue targeting cationic peptide and protein-based drug delivery, compare and contrast drug delivery designs, and also present examples of technologies that are entering clinical trials. We also present strategies on further enhancing drug retention within diseased tissues of lower FCD by using synergistic effects of short-range binding interactions like hydrophobic and H-bonds that stabilize long-range charge interactions. As electrostatic interactions are incorporated into design of drug delivery materials and used as a strategy to create properties that are reversible, tunable and dynamic, bio-electroceuticals are becoming an exciting new direction of research and clinical work.
