2.2 Drugs

Therapeutic medications are without a doubt essential for treating disorders and minimizing or eliminating injuries. The term “dr ug” in musculoskeletal drug delivery has expanded significantly over the last few decades to include growth factors, non-viral genes (DNAs, RNAs), tissue engineering scaffolds, and regenerative tissues. It was previously restricted to therapeutic agents like antibiotics, anti­inflammatory drugs, and anti-cancer agents. The drugs listed below are utilized in localized therapy and repair of the musculo­skeletal system:
1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
2. Antibiotics (for musculoskeletal infection like superficial cellu­litis, osteomyelitis).
3. Anticancer drugs (for cancer like osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosar­coma, soft tissue sarcoma, metastatic carcinoma).
(a) Tyrosine-kinase inhibitors.
(b) Drugs targeting epigenetic alterations.
(c) Monoclonal antibodies (immune-checkpoint inhibitors).
4. Growth factors (GF).
(a) TGF-βs
(b) BMPs
(transforming growth factor-βs).
(bone morphogenetic proteins).
(c) IGFs (insulin-like growth factors).
(d) PDGFs (platelet-derived growth factors).
(e) VEGFs (vascular endothelial growth factors).
5. Genes.
(a) SiRNA.
(b) TFEB (transcription factor EB) for Pompe disease.
6. Other regenerative dr
ugs- based
on cell therapies.
7. Ligand-gated drugs.
(a) Nerve growth factor (NGF) inhibitors (anti-NGF
antibodies).

3 Methods

Current development in the delivery of drugs to the musculoskele­tal system have looked at new medications, creative ways to assem­ble delivery vehicles, and multipurpose delivery strategies.

3.1 Three­Dimensional (3D) Bioprinting
3.1.1 Extrusion-Based 3D Bioprinting
Similar to conventional three-dimensional printing, the construct is first created as a computer-designed file that is divided into discrete strata. Though the initial procedures are similar, many methods have been devised to deposit the components (Fig.
1a).
The three most prominent to these printing methods are
extrusion-based, inkjet, and light-based.
Extrusion-based bioprinting is the most commonly used three­dimensional bioprinting.
(i) This method depends on forcing material out of a printhead—
typically a needle tip by applying either mechanical or pneu­matic pressure, to a reservoir of bioink [26].
(ii) Introduction of microfluidic printhead as an alternative of
conventional reservoirs of printing has increased the accuracy of extrusion bioprinting.
(iii) With microfluidic heads, printing with core-shell fluid flows
and crosslinking the material are made possible with greater control over the composition of the material (Fig. 1b).
(iv) As a result, a material fiber is created that can be patterned by
dragging the machine’s printhead cross the print region.
(v) After the completion of print of each layer, the subsequent
layer starts printing when the distance between the print sur­face and the extrusion tip is raised.
3.1.2 Inkjet 3D Bioprinting
3.1.3 Light-Based Bioprinting
The first developed 3D bioprinting technique, which is based on the similar idea as that of the conventional 2D Inkjet printing [4, 36].
(i) The first step involves combining cells with a hydrogel pre-
polymer solution in an ink cartridge that is attached to a printhead.
(ii) This printhead deposits the bioink material throughout the
printing process.
(iii) During the printing, a piezoelectric actuator or a thermal
process deforms the printerheads, which are then squeezed to produced droplets of different sizes (Fig.
1c).
(iv) Finally, by sporadically applying pressure to the fluid reservoir,
pressure-driven can accomplish the same result.
Stereolithographic bioprinting: According to Wang et al. [42, 43],
(i) These devices form the desired construction by using laser light
to crosslink polymer solutions (Fig.
(ii) The desired
pattern is crosslinked to each layer using light,

3.1.4 Laser-Assisted Printing

3.2 Multiple Drug Delivery

3.2.1 Multilayer Films with Capsule-Integrated Polypeptide/Polyelectrolyte
3.2.2 Multilayer Shells Using Polypeptides/ Polyelectrolytes (PL or PG) and LbL Assembly
(i) This technique eliminates direct contact between the dis-
penser and bioinks because it uses glass plate with bioinks on one side and an energy-absorbing layer on the other [
35].
(ii) And when the laser strikes the energy-absorbing layer, the ink
is deposited from the substrate (Fig.
1e).
(iii) As a result, the resolution of this approach is restricted by the
homogeneity of the bioink on the glass surface, as aggregation may lead to undesirable heterogeneities.
Multilayer films were constructed as per Zhang et al. [47].
(i) Microcapsules for drug administration were created by impreg-
nating polypeptides (PL or PG) into CaCo
particles by sub-
3
merging them in a solution containing 2 mg/mL of polyelectrolytes for 30 min under 3 Torr Vacuum pressure.
(ii) The samples are then centrifuged to discard the supernatant
and further dried in a vacuum oven (310 Torr) overnight at 60 ° C.
The multilayer shells on these pre-impregnated particles were then alternatively constructed using polypeptides and LbL self-assembly to form shelled CaCO
particles.

(i) This process is similar to that of the procedure described for
coating on conventional substrates, but in this instance, a centrifugation step of 3000 rpm for 1 min. Was added between the two-coating process to make the coating pro­cesses on microparticles feasible.
(ii) In order to maintain the multilayer shell, the shelled CaCO
particles were next exposed to cross-linking by being incu­bated in a glutaraldehyde (25%) solution for 3 h.
(iii) These shelled particles were centrifuged, and the supernatants
were discarded to dissolve the CaCO
templates, further they

were incubated for 1 h in 0.1 M EDTA to form microcapsules.

A new frontier in the molecular knowledge of disease has been made possible by stimulus-based medication delivery devices. “Sti­muli-responsive materials,” often referred to as “environmentally­responsive materials,” are components of the stimuli-based drug delivery system that affect an activity at a specific site or target tissue to bring about beneficial activities for the drug release via a variety of processes [
19]. The controlled and focused release of the drug at
the site of action makes the stimulus-based drug delivery system extremely valuable in the fields of nanomedicines and nanotechnology [
6].
The stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems can be categor-
ized into two types: physical and chemical.
3.3.1 Physical Stimulation-Responsive Drug Delivery Systems
Thermoresponsive
Temperature-responsive
systems are the most researched among
various stimuli-responsive systems, particularly in the field of cancer
27]. In such a system, changes in the tumor environment’s tem-
[ perature control the release of drugs. The drug load is retained by the thermoresponsive carriers at body temperature, which is around 37 °C. Nevertheless, the drug is delivered at the approximate 40–42 °C local temperature of the tumor area [
37].
Drug Delivery to the Musculoskeletal System: Localized Therapies and Repair 365
A thermoresponsive drug delivery system is considered as one possible addition to hyperthermia therapy. When treating hyper­thermia, the body tissue is subjected to high temperatures through microwave, ultrasonic, or radiofrequency; cancer cells may be killed or rendered more vulnerable to the targeted effects of radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
The hyperthermia treatments are harmful not only to cancer cells but also to healthy cells. Parallel to this, both cancer cells and healthy cells are toxically affected by chemotherapy.
Therefore, as a combinatorial approach, the combined effects of
chemotherapy and
and cancerous cells [
hyperthermia are hazardous to both normal
16].
Thus, it is suggested to develop thermoresponsive drug deliv­ery systems that make use of the temperature of the tumor micro­environment, i.e., mild hyperthermia (~40 °C), which releases drugs specifically for the tumor while being non-toxic to healthy cells (Fig.
3a). Typically, thermoresponsive systems consist of poly-
meric micelles, liposomes, or nanoparticles that release drugs at significant rates only when they are exposed to temperatures higher than that of normal body cells, such as cancerous tissue [
27].
Thermoresponsive Liposomes
3.3.2 Magnetic Field­Responsive Drug Delivery Systems (MRDD)
• Thermoresponsive liposomes work by concentrating drug
within the heated tumor’s vasculature while reducing drug metabolism, absorption, and clearance. Enhancing the drug’s penetration and concentration at the tumor site, the released drug diffuses into the tumor (Fig.
3b). This method does not
rely on the tumor’s passive targeting. The thermoresponsive liposomes are given during the mild hyperthermia treatment to allow for the sudden release of the medicine that has been contained inside the tumor [
37].
• Liposomes that possess appropriate gel to liquid phase transition temperatures, like lysolipids or dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, are typically employed in thermoresponsive liposome development [

moresponsive lysolipid-based
A magnetic-responsive system typically comprises of a core-shell structure with polymer, lipids, mesoporous silica, or squalonyl­gemicitabine in the shell and magnetite (Fe3O4) or maghemite (Fe2O3) in the core.

Protocol
• A drug is entrapped in magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in mag­netically responsive drug delivery (MRDD).
• Next, an exter
nally applied high magnitude magnetic field is
used to direct and concentrate the drug/carrier complex to the

desired places after it has been delivered into the subject either intravenously or intra-arterially.
• Upon reaching the intended location in vivo, the drug is liberated from the magnetic carrier through either enzymatic activity or modifications in physiological parameters including pH, osmolality, and temperature (Fig.
4a).
• This leads to a reduced medication concentration throughout the body and a greater localization at the site of the tumor [
11].
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, or SPIONs, are among the magnetic-responsive nanomaterials under investigation because of their ease of guidance to the target site and lack of residual magnetism, which is attributable to quantum phenomena at the nanoscale [
33].
The following characteristics are appropriate for magnetically responsive drug delivery systems:
1. Nanosized constituent particles to facilitate capillary perfusion.
2. They ought to be sufficiently magnetically sensitive.
3. They ought to be able to transport a broad range of potent medicinal substances.
4. They may be designed to serve as targeted or controlled drug delivery systems.
5. They are
minimally toxic and antigenic, and they have great
biocompatibility and biodegradability.

3.3.3 Ultrasound­Responsive Drug Delivery Systems (URDDS)
The primary application of low frequency ultrasound (LFUS) was to reduce the size of micro to nanoscale vesicles. These days, targeted and controlled drug release is induced by ultrasound.
Protocol
• An ultrasonic wave can be used to stimulate the release of drugs that are responsive to ultrasound waves by producing a variety of physical ef fects in the body’s tissue. Localized heat, cavitation, simple pressure change, and acoustic fluid streaming are some of these physical effects (Fig.
4b) [9].
• The significant effects of ultrasonography are cavitation.
• This effect occurs when an ultrasonic wave passes through a
liquid medium and creates a large number of microbubbles that expand and contract in extremely brief amounts of time. Through a technique called sonoporation, the permeability of a cell membrane can be momentarily altered in sonic cavitation to improve medication uptake [
45].
• In cancer therapy, the easy application of ultrasonic to a thermo­responsive system makes it a crucial component. Acoustic cavi­tation, a method of energy vibration, causes hyperthermia when exposed to ultrasound waves. Anticancer medication buildup at the tumor site is facilitated by the application of these sonic waves as a release mechanism through cavitation [
46].
3.3.4 Light-Responsive Drug Delivery Systems (LRDDS)
Light is regarded as one of the most interesting external stimuli for controlled drug release because it has an on/off switching pulsatile nature that allows for remote drug release with extreme temporal and spatial precision [
23].
LRDDS are mostly used in photodynamic therapy (PDT), a combination therapy that uses light and photoactivatable photo­sensitizer in the presence of tissue oxygen.
In photodynamic therapy
•
After injecting the photosensitizer intravenously, tissue oxygen is transformed into radical oxygen species (ROS) via light­mediated activation.
• PDT is a prime candidate for cancer treatment since these ROS
result in cellular necrosis.
• In PDT, UV or visible light can cause photoreactions. Only
topical treatments applied to the skin or mucosa contain UV or visible light (Fig. 4c).
