A facile reversed-phase microemulsion method was used to synthesize shell-core nanospheres of SiO2@RCs (SiO2-encapsuled rare-earth metal complexes). β-d-Galactose was then grafted onto the surfaces of the nanospheres through the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click reaction for targeted delivery. The chemical characteristics and surface profiles of the nanocarriers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. A high-efficiency microwave synthesis method was applied to prepare five complex cores by the reaction of different rare-earth metal salts with two isomeric ligands, o-CPA (2-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) and m-CPA (3-chlorophenoxyacetic acid). The crystal structures of the five synthesized RC cores were confirmed through X-ray diffraction, which revealed the formulas of five RCs, [Dy(o-CPA)3(H2O)]·H2O RC1, [Ho(o-CPA)3(H2O)]·H2O RC2, 2[Er(m-CPA)3(H2O)]·3H2O RC3, 2[Gd(m-CPA)3(H2O)]·3H2O RC4, and [Ce2(m-CPA)6(H2O)3]·2H2O RC5. An in vitro cell study revealed that all RCs exhibited certain anticancer activities. RC2, in particular, showed the strongest cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells. The enhanced cell permeability and drug retention considerably improved the cytotoxicity of all SiO2@RC2-gal relative to that of RC2. The selective uptake of the β-d-galactose-conjugated nanospheres by HepG2 cells through mechanisms mediated by cell surface receptors resulted in fewer side effects on extrahepatic tissues. Our contribution provides a novel design concept of a target SiO2@RCs-gal nanocarrier for delivering affordable antitumor complexes in cancer therapy.

Given the increased glucose uptake in cancer cells than normal cells, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent glucose analogues have been previously synthesized and applied in cancer cell imaging. However, most NIR dyes usually have one or more charge in their structures, which may cause low cell membrane permeability and hamper their application in cell imaging. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of DCPO-conjugated glucose analogues (N0-N4), which have no charge in their structures and have different lengths of the spacer arm. Experiments in different cancer cell lines showed the uptake of N0-N4 was dependent on the protein levels of GLUT-1. The distance between the dyes and glucose was adjusted by the length of PEG. Of these five glucose analogues, the length of the linker in N2 which contains a diethylene glycol was the most appropriate spacer arm, a longer or shorter linker exhibited reduced cellular uptake efficiency. Moreover, the uptake of DCPO-conjugated glucose analogues could be inhibited by phloretin, a GLUT-1 inhibitor or competitively inhibited by unlabeled d-glucose. Therefore, our study has reported a novel type of NIR-conjugated glucose analogues, whose cell permeability ensured the potential application for cancer cell bioimaging in the NIR region. We also demonstrated, for the first time, that the length of the linker between the dyes and glucose was also an important factor that will affect the delivery efficiency of the glucose analogues to cells.

An accelerated modular synthesis produced 18 amphiphilic Janus glycodendrimers with three different topologies formed from either two or one carbohydrate head groups or a mixed constellation with a noncarbohydrate hydrophilic arm. By simple injection of their THF solutions into water or buffer, all of the Janus compounds self-assembled into uniform, stable, and soft unilamellar vesicles, denoted glycodendrimersomes. The mixed constellation topology glycodendrimersomes were demonstrated to be most efficient in binding plant, bacterial, and human lectins. This evidence with biomedically relevant receptors offers a promising perspective for the application of such glycodendrimersomes in targeted drug delivery, vaccines, and other areas of nanomedicine.
