Nanomedicine for Targeted Drug Delivery in Cancer Chemotherapy
Niladri ShekharDey, Ramesh KumariDasgupta a
nd Saumendu DebRoy
Abstract
Cancer is the uncontrolled proliferation of cells which subsequent spread of other organs of the human body (metastasis). The major therapeutic approaches of cancer chemotherapy are to deliver the correct amount of drug molecule in the desired site (malignant cells) for longer duration of action. Nanomedicine basically by passive as well as active targeting has been implemented for recognition, diagnosis and treat­ment for cancer and widely accepted in the modern field of oncology. Nanomedicine such as nanoliposomes and polymer based nanoparticles combine with genetic materials administered to the target cells for cancer chemotherapy. The advancement of nanomedicine will improve the therapeutic index of anticancer drug via modula­tion of pharmacokinetics parameters and tissue distribution to targeted sites. Ligand molecule can be tagged with this nanodevices for recognize the malignant cells via active targeting purposes and drug can be release at the site of specific target area followed by pre-programmed or predictable manner. This novel strategy of drug delivery technology is also applicable for conventional chemotherapy as well as meta­static state of the cancer patients. Targeting of neoplastic cells by nanocarriers play a vital role in novel drug delivery by protecting healthy normal cells from cytotoxicity as well as helpful for preventing the angiogenesis (neovascularization).
Keywords: nanomedicine, metastasis, target cells, ligand molecule, cytotoxicity, angiogenesis
. Introduction
Cancer is one of the serious and devastating illnesses of human beings in all over the world. It is an abnormal growth of cell division where apoptosis is generally disappeared and need very complex for long term treatment [1]. The treatment for cancer in the field of oncology is that surgical removal, radiation, hormone therapy and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is applied by the use of anticancer drugs loaded formulations at the disease site for recovery of patients. Conventional chemotherapy cannot achieve proper selectively to target the cancerous cells and showed the unwanted or adverse effect for the patient during the chemotherapy [2]. Conventional chemotherapy worked by destroying abnormal proliferated cells and due to its cytotoxic nature it also damages the normal healthy cells. Common side effects are

shown alopecia (hair loss), nausea or vomiting, organ dysfunction, anemia, throm­bocytopenia, myelosuppression and mucositis [3]. As per therapeutic drug monitory the strategies of modern chemotherapy are preferentially destroying malignant cells without having any harmful toxic effects of the normal healthy cells [4]. Nowadays, in the modern field of oncology anticancer drug loaded nanocarriers or nanomedicine were implemented for detection, diagnosis and recovery of critical illness of the patients. The various nanodevices are designed or fabricated for a major role of treat­ment of neoplastic diseases via passive or active targeting purposes [5]. Anticancer drug loaded nanodevices can also attack the malignant cells through passive targeting where leaky blood vessels are there due to basement membrane abnormalities [6]. Antibody or ligand conjugated anticancer drug loaded nanodevices are fabricated for active targeting is specially based on molecular recognition [7]. In the modern field of nanotechnology, ligand molecules which are conjugated with the surface of nanocar­riers may benefit for active targeting purposes.
Our major focus is to application of nanodevices in the modern field of cancer chemotherapy by avoiding cytotoxicity of normal healthy cells and also discussion of cellular uptake of malignant cells of different organs of the human body by various anticancer drug loaded nanocarriers.
. Global prevalence of cancer and the side effects of few anticancer drugs
Cancer is the devastating disease which ranked as a leading cause of death in all over world. WHO estimate that cancer is the first or second leading cause of death before the age of 70years (Figure ) [8]. The substances that cause abnormal prolifera­tion of cells (malignant cells) known as carcinogens. The change of genetic material in the cells may occur spontaneously as a random event or may be modulation of genetic material [9]. This incident occurs due to an external exposure to a substance (carcino­gens) which develops the neoplastic cells as well as promote neovascularization i.e. new

blood vessel formation for survive the malignant cells. Carcinogens include radiations,

tobacco, chemical or may be viruses also. Few ionizing radiation like X-rays, nuclear power plants and atomic bomb explosions can cause various malignancies particularly sarcomas, leukemia, thyroid, cancer or breast cancer [10].
Common side effects of chemotherapy include fatigue, hair loss, pain, nerve
damage, mouth and throat sores, diarrhea, constipation, nausea & vomiting, blood disorders, loss appetite, heart problem and fertility problem also [11].
. Application of nanomedicine
Cancer is a complicated biological disorder in the human body where abnormal
proliferation occurs in malignant cells. The main focus of modern treatment of cancer chemotherapy is to damage the neoplastic cells or control of growth rate and also avoiding cytotoxicity i.e. not to produce any harmful effect in normal healthy cells. Malignant cells are able to proliferate in the human body through new blood vessels generation for neoplastic cell growth formation (neovascularization) known as angio­genesis and lymphatic streams, causing metastasis by forming a secondary tumor [12]. Anticancer drugs work in different ways: by killing the neoplastic cells through direct exposure of chemical agent, by inducing apoptosis (suicide of malignant cells) and arrest neovascularization i.e. (angiogenesis) [3]. The design of nanocarri­ers revealed a new avenue in the field of oncology such as solid lipid nanoparticles, nanolipid vesicles such as nanoliposomes, carbon nanotubes, dendrimer, micelles, quantum dots, mesoporous silica and protein based nanoparticles etc. which are loaded with anticancer drugs. These nanodevices show potential activity and may utilize for both active and passive targeting during chemotherapy.
. Dendrimers
Dendrimers are hyper branched nanodevices macromolecules which are three-
dimensional structure made up of polymer branching units by covalently attaching with central core for organizing concentric layers [13]. These types of devices have the ability to improve bioavailability as well as the solubility of hydrophobic drugs which

can be incorporated in to the intramolecular core of these nanodevices or tagged to their surface of functional groups. By employing biocompatible components with antineoplastic drugs, loaded dendrimers will modify therapeutic index and dosage regimen also (Figure ) [14].
. Carbon nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes are built of single or more graphene sheets which are rolled up into a cylindrical tube like single-walled (SW-CNT) or multiwalled (MW-CNT) carbon nanotube structure. These carbon nanotubes are involved fullerenes group (a third allotropic form of carbon) [15]. These nanodevices may assume the hollow sphere, ellipsoid shape and also exists many other forms where the outer diameters are typically in the range of 0.4–2nm for SW-CNT and 2–100nm for the MW-CNT [16]. Water insoluble anticancer drugs can easily be incorporated into the hydropho­bic hollow interior of carbon nanotubes [17]. Anti-neoplastic drug can be loaded into carbon nanotube for passive as well as active targeting (Figure ).

. Quantum dots
Quantum dots are fluorescent semiconducting inorganic nanocarriers. These nano­carriers are applying for several biomedical applications such as cellular imaging and drug delivery [18]. For the synthesis of quantum dots, two common methods are there; one is a bottom-up approach (by self-assembly processes in solution following chemical reduction) and another one is by a top-down method (by means of molecular beam epitaxy ion implantation, e-beam or X-ray lithography) [19, 20]. Most quantum dots are constructed of three parts, an extremely small core (2–10nm in diameter) of a semi­conductor component (e.g. CdSe) surrounded by another semiconductor material, such as ZnS [21]. Finally, a cap made of different components encapsulates the double layer structures of the QDs [22]. The inner semiconductor of CdSe coated with the outer shell of ZnS for QDs revealed most important nanodevices for drug delivery (Figure ) [23].

. Nanoliposome or nanolipid vesicles
Liposomes are artificial microscopic bilayer of phospholipids vesicles. These vesicles consist of natural or synthetic lipids represent as nanocarriers in the field of modern drug delivery as well as applications for cancer chemotherapy [24]. Natural phospholipid or synthetic i.e. conventional phospholipids are constructed with one or more hydrophilic tails and hydrophilic head. The lipid bilayer vesicles i.e. liposomes in aqueous solution depends on the different condition such as the method of prepara­tion i.e. stirring, hydration, sonication, extrusion, and they microfluidification, or electroformation (Figure ) [25, 26]. This nanodevices size ranges between 50 and 500nm and are available as unilamellar vesicles (<100nm), large unilamellar vesicles (100–1000nm) or giant unilamellar vesicles (>1μm) [27].
The development of nanolipid vesicles or nanoliposomes is applicable for chemo­therapy during treatment of cancer for their property having both controlled release and targeted drug delivery at the disease site specific action [27]. Encapsulation of chemotherapeutic agents or anticancer drugs within the lipid vesicles can enhance the cellular uptake as well as improve the therapeutic index by systemic administration during chemotherapy [28, 29]. The circulation-time of liposomes can be enhanced and by conjugating stealth-imparting polymers to their surfaces poly-ethylene glycol (PEG) their detection by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) can be reduced [30]. Nanolipid vesicles can penetrate preferentially on the malignant cells (due to the leaky vasculature of tumor cells) by means of a passive targeting process via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect [31, 32]. Ligand molecules may be attached to the liposomal surface or vesicles for actively target to the cancer cells. Ligands such as antibody or aptamer, proteins, peptides which are conjugated or tagged with the lipid vesicles covalently or non-covalently can easily recognize the neoplastic cells which are specific to the cancer cells or to the endothelial cells of the tumor vascula­ture (Figure  and Table  ) [33].
