Supramolecular architecture-based truly “pH taxis” exhibiting nanomotors are fabricated by in-situ grown CaCO3 particles, which can sense the endogenously present pH gradient in HeLa cells making them suitable for targeted drug delivery applications.

A bolock copolymer of poly(ε-caprolactone) and hyperbranched polyglycidol (PCL-b-HPG) was synthezed by “living” copolymerization of ε-caprolactone (CL) and glycidol. The chemical structure was confirmed by 1H NMR, IR and GPC spectrum. Nanoparticles (NPs) of 50–100 nm were formulated from the PCL-b-HPG copolymer with no evidence of particles aggregation as determined by TEM. RGD peptide was covalently coupled on the end hydroxyl groups that could enable recepter–mediated recongnation onto targeted tissues. In conclusion, a hyperbranched copolymer PCL-b-HPG was synthezed by a novel and simple approach. The numerous functional end-groups could facilitate the attachment of biomolecules for further investigation as targeted drug delivery.

Therapeutic effects of anticancer medicines can be improved by targeting the specific receptors on cancer cells. Folate receptor (FR) targeting with antibody (Ab) is an effective tool to deliver anticancer drugs to the cancer cell. In this research project, a novel formulation of targeting drug delivery was designed, and its anticancer effects were analyzed. Folic acid-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were used for the purification of folate receptors through a novel magnetic affinity purification method. Antibodies against the folate receptors and methotrexate (MTX) were developed and characterized with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot. Targeting nanomedicines (MNP-MTX-FR Ab) were synthesized by engineering the MNP with methotrexate and anti-folate receptor antibody (anti-FR Ab). The cytotoxicity of nanomedicines on HeLa cells was analyzed by calculating the % age cell viability. A fluorescent study was performed with HeLa cells and tumor tissue sections to analyze the binding efficacy and intracellular tracking of synthesized nanomedicines. MNP-MTX-FR Ab demonstrated good cytotoxicity along all the nanocomposites, which confirms that the antibody-coated medicine possesses the potential affinity to destroy cancer cells in the targeted drug delivery process. Immunohistochemical approaches and fluorescent study further confirmed their uptake by FRs on the tumor cells’ surface in antibody-mediated endocytosis. The current approach is a useful addition to targeted drug delivery for better management of cancer therapy along with immunotherapy in the future.
