Improving drug delivery efficiency to solid tumor sites is a central challenge in anti-cancer therapeutic research. Our previous experimental study (Guo et al., Nat. Commun. 2018, 9, 130) showed that soft, elastic liposomes had increased uptake and accumulation cancer cells tumors vitro vivo respectively, relative rigid particles. As first step towards understanding how liposomes’ molecular structure composition modulates their elasticity, we performed all-atom coarse-grained classical dynamics (MD) simulations of lipid bilayers formed by mixing long-tailed, unsaturated phospholipid with short-tailed saturated the same head group. The former type phospholipids considered were 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) 1,2-dipalmitoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (termed here DPMPC). shorter lipids examined 1,2-diheptanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC), 1,2-didecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DDPC), 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPC), 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC). Several concentrations surface tensions considered. results show DOPC or DPMPC systems having 25-35 mol% shortest DHPC DDPC are least rigid, area compressibility moduli KA ~10% smaller than values observed pure bilayers. These agree measurements stretching modulus lysis tension compositions. also have lower areas per lipid, form more uneven x-y interfaces water, tails both primary secondary disordered, terminal methyl groups long wriggle vertical direction, compared mixtures longer DLPC DMPC. observations confirm our hypothesis adding increasing short bilayers, alters packing thus make resulting less rigid. No formation nanodomains was noted simulations, no clear trends lateral diffusivities as concentration, varied.

The application of Nanocarriers (NCs) provides a promising strategy to solve the problems faced by traditional chemotherapy drugs, like imprecise delivery, poor bioavailability, high dose requirement, and tendency develop multidrug resistance. With protection NCs, drugs can reach lesion site then release accurately completely. Although some reviews have summarized biological applications little attention has been given advantages disadvantages analyzing organic, inorganic, hybrid NCs separately for targeted therapy identifying means further improve targeting ability. First, in this review, we emphasize three factors that marked impact on therapy: tumor microenvironment (TME), different administration modalities (intravenous, oral, intracavitary administration), pathways (passive active). Second, systematic examination polymeric dendrimers, micelles, liposomes, mesoporous silica gold quantum dots, nano clay, core-shell MOFs are reviewed. Further, propose ways efficiency therapy, including regulating size, shape, surface properties NCs.

Ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as a powerful tool for the intracellular delivery of nucleic acids. Following recent success LNP-based siRNA therapeutics and mRNA vaccines, use ionizable lipids acid has tremendously increased. Here, we introduce flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) approach using confined impingement (CIJ) mixer to stably self-assemble LNPs. To validate this approach, employed three clinically relevant LNP formulations containing SM102, ALC0315, DLin-MC3-DMA lipids. FNP-assembled LNPs showed >95% encapsulation efficiency payloads particle sizes below 150 nm. SM102 or ALC0315 demonstrated efficient into immune cells in vitro lymphoid organs vivo, whereas Dlin-MC3-DMA allowed effective with great functional ability. The FNP technique could economically produce smaller volumes that are highly suitable discovery phase.
