Temperature stimulus, easy modulation in comparison to other environmental stimuli, makes thermo-responsive nanocarriers popular in the applications of controlled drug release for cancer therapy. In this study, photosensitive sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC) was incorporated into thermo-responsive polymeric nanogels consisted of N-isopropylacrylamide and N-(hydroxymethyl)acrylamide. Significant heat was generated from the SCC-containing nanogels under the exposure to 532-nm green laser, and resulted in cell mortality. The thermo-responsive nanogel loaded with 5-FU, an anti-cancer drug, released the drug explosively when exposed to green laser. The combination of hyperthermia and temperature-induced drug release via green laser irradiation greatly enhanced cell mortality to a maximal extent. Such photothermo-responsive nanogel possesses a great potential in anti-cancer treatment.

Thermo responsive PVCL-co-PMMA nanofibers for controlled release of anticancer drugs were fabricated. The thermo response temperatures of the nanofibers could be easily tuned, and the fibrous shapes could be maintained after heating–cooling cycles.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) also known as hyaluronan, is a natural polysaccharide—an anionic, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan—commonly found in our bodies. It occurs in the highest concentrations in the eyes and joints. Today HA is used during certain eye surgeries and in the treatment of dry eye disease. It is a remarkable natural lubricant that can be injected into the knee for patients with knee osteoarthritis. HA has also excellent gelling properties due to its capability to bind water very quickly. As such, it is one the most attractive controlled drug release matrices and as such, it is frequently used in various biomedical applications. Due to its reactivity, HA can be cross-linked or conjugated with assorted bio-macromolecules and it can effectively encapsulate several different types of drugs, even at nanoscale. Moreover, the physiological significance of the interactions between HA and its main membrane receptor, CD44 (a cell-surface glycoprotein that modulates cell–cell interactions, cell adhesion and migration), in pathological processes, e.g., cancer, is well recognized and this has resulted in an extensive amount of studies on cancer drug delivery and tumor targeting. HA acts as a therapeutic but also as a tunable matrix for drug release. Thus, this review focuses on controlled or sustained drug release systems assembled from HA and its derivatives. More specifically, recent advances in controlled release of proteins, antiseptics, antibiotics and cancer targeting drugs from HA and its derivatives were reviewed. It was shown that controlled release from HA has many benefits such as optimum drug concentration maintenance, enhanced therapeutic effects, improved efficiency of treatment with less drug, very low or insignificant toxicity and prolonged in vivo release rates.

We report two solvent-free mechanochemical methods to achieve one‑pot encapsulation of anti-cancer drug 5‑Fluorouracil (5‑FU) in the iron-based MIL‑100 metal-organic framework (MOF). We compare the structural and physicochemical properties of drug@MIL‑100 systems derived from <i>in situ </i>manual and vortex grinding, where the former exhibits a slower drug release due to stronger guest-host interactions.

Around 40% of new chemical entities and drugs are lipophilic or poor aqueous soluble in nature. Among them many anti-cancer drugs are also consist lipophilic properties. Available poorly water soluble anti-cancer drugs are paclitaxel, etoposide, and docetaxel. To get better stability of those anti-cancer drug via encapsulation and searching suitable carrier system for the controlled release, design and development requires of anhydrous nano carrier system. However, to deliver and entrapment of these kind of anti-cancer drugs are very essential with avoidance of water free preparation to get suitable controlled release application and achieve targeting site. The primary objective of proposed chapter is to develop and design novel stable anhydrous or non-aqueous nano emulsion carrier system and provide suitable carrier system for poorly aqueous soluble anti-cancer drugs. Another important aim is to design and develop better stabilizing agent by combining different type of surfactant, co-surfactant, and co-solvent.
