8Colorectal cancer is one of the top three cancers with highest incidence in the 9world. Therapies using medication remain one of the common treatment methods, 10but the treatment efficacy is often hindered by inefficient tumour penetration and 11drug delivery. Hence, the development of drug nanocarrier is becoming more 12important in order to maximise the drug delivery to the target cells and the cancer- 13killing capacity. In recent years, the use of nanoparticles for cancer therapy has 14gained traction due to their diverse characteristics and high flexibility for 15modifications. While exerting anticancer action when used individually, 16nanoparticles are also suitable to be used as a delivery system to transport the 17anticancer drug to the targets. In order to develop a non-toxic nanoparticles-based 18drug carrier, various biomaterials such as chitosan, xanthan gum, cellulose and 19alginate are also used to enhance the biocompatibility of the nanocarrier. This 20chapter discusses the recent development of biomaterial-derived nanocarriers and 21their use towards colorectal cancer therapy. Some challenges and limitations are

26 1 Introduction
27 1.1 Colorectal Cancer and Its Management
28 Colorec tal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause 29 of cancer death both in men and women worldwide. An estimated number of 30 1.8 million people were newly diagnosed with CRC, and 0.9 million people died 31 from the disease in 2020 (Xi and Xu 2021). Generally, the colon epithelial tissues are 32 genetically altered to form cancerous polyps which accumulate and develop into 33 cancer (Bray et al. 2018). Patients with CRC can be treated by surgery, radiation 34 therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy or in combination 35 according to their medical conditions. However, each treatment option may come 36 with possible side effects (Biller and Schrag 2021). As this chapter focuses on the 37 development of drug nanocarrier, we will focus on the therapies using medication 38 which include chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. 39 Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer drugs to destroy fast-growing cells, 40 inhibit ing the growth or division of cancer cells. According to cancer.org, patients 41 often receive several cycles of treatment either consisting of one type of drug or more 42 over a period of time. Some of the commonly used drugs include 5-fluorouracil 43 (5-FU), capecitabine (Xeloda), irinotecan (Camptosar) and oxaliplatin (Eloxatin). 44 They can also be used in combination such as FOLFOX (5-FU with leucovorin 45 and oxaliplatin), FOLFIRI (5-FU with leucovorin and irinotecan), XELIRI/ 46 CAPIRI (capecitabine with iri notecan) and XELOX/CAPEOX (capecitabine with 47 oxalip latin) (Biller and Schrag 2021). The two common method of administering the 48 drug is either via systemic chemotherapy, where the drug is administered intrave- 49 nously or orally and travels to almost all areas of the body, or regional chemother- 50 apy, where the drug is administered into the artery which directs to a specific part of 51 the body with cancer. 52 Targeted therapy is a treatment that targets specific gene or prote in or even the 53 tumou r ‘microenvironment’ that contributes to cancer growth, to prevent the cancer 54 cells from spreading to surrounding healthy cells. Some of these drugs such as 55 bevacizumab, regorafenib, ramucirumab and ziv-aflibercept are designed to inhibit 56 angiogenesis while others such as cetuximab and panitumumab are designed to 57 block cell receptors such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Often, these 58 drugs are also used in combination with drugs in chemotherapy to maximise the 59 treatment efficacy. As these drugs act specifically on the target, cells cannot respond 60 to the drugs if the tumour cells have specific mutations on the target such as EGFR,

61RAS and BRAF mutations, hence rendering the therapy ineffective (Awi et al. 2021; 62Pang et al. 2019). Immunotherapy, on the other hand, is designed to boost the body’s 63immune response to kill the cancer cells. Examples of drugs include pembrolizumab, 64nivolumab, dostarlimab and ipilimumab. Similarly, these drugs can also be used 65along with chemotherapeutic drugs such as capecitabine, 5-FU, oxaliplatin and 66irinotecan to maximise the treatment outcome (Xie et al. 2020).
671.2 Limitations of Medication-Based Therapies Against CRC
68In addition to the toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs that limit the dosage and 69frequency of treatment, tumour-penetrating capacity, tissue distribution, stability 70and bioavailability of the drugs also play important roles in determining the success 71of the cancer therapy. While acting as the main component of tumour microenviron- 72ment, tumour is also surrounded by non-cancer or stromal cells such as fibroblasts, 73immune cells, mesenchymal stem cells as well as various types of extracellular 74matrix (ECM) (Gallo et al. 2021). These components also play important roles in 75supporting the growth and progression of the tumours and have also been identified 76as one of the major obstacles that complicate and resist cancer treatment. Some of the 77mechanisms include serving as a multilayer physical barrier enriched with the ECM 78to block drug penetration and the drug targets as well as directing the soluble 79mediators such as cytokines and chemokines to block the treatment (Gallo et al.
802021). This poses a huge challenge especially for those large-sized drugs with weak 81tissue-penetrating capacity. 82Next, the convent ional chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-FU which is a non- 83target-specific drug can be further affected by the stromal cells. Due to the tissue 84architecture within the tumour, the drug may not be successfully delivered to the 85tumour sites and only retain at certain nonspecific sites, this may then give rise to 86another issue which is off-target toxicity. In another scenario, drugs that reach the 87tumour sites have to translocate through the interstitial space to reach their target 88cells, but this may be blocke d by the endothelial cell layer which lines the blood 89vessels, render ing the failure of drug delivery. However, it has been known that the 90endothelial cell layers are rather poorly aligned in the tumour sites, hence resulting 91in the ‘leaky’ capillaries to allow the transendothelial transport of drugs. Under 92intratumoural pressure, the condition surrounding the tumour is often hypoxic and 93highly acidic due to the low availability of oxygen and accumulation of lactic acids 94(Gallo et al. 2021). This may affect the cellular uptake and the tissue distribution of 95the drug. The low pH condition may also affect the stability of the drug at the tumour 96site, and hence resulting in the reduced tumour-killing action. 97Aside from the ones stated above, the drugs commonly used for cancer therapy 98are inefficient in eradicating cancer cells as they often exhibit poor water solubility, 99inefficient biodistribution, and are hydrophobic (Choukaife et al. 2022). This, 100in turn, will prompt the need to increase the frequency of therapy and dosage 101requirement, which subsequently will lead to devastating adverse side effects. 102To summarise, conventional anticancer drugs have so far demonstrated certain 103limitations which impede the success rate of the therapy.

104 2 Development of Nanocarriers Against Cancer
105 2.1 Properties of Nanocarriers
106 As highlighted in the previous section, several issues with the conventional 107 drug delivery method can be improved using various types of nanomedicine. 108 Nanomedicine is the application of nanomaterials or nanoparticles which are about 109 1–100 nm to medicine. According to de SL Oliveira et al. (2021), nanoparticles 110 (NPs) are classified as complex molecules which can be functionalised with different 111 types of cores (chemical materials), elements (surfactants or ions) and/or nuclei 112 (central portion). This rich surface chemistry allows for various surface 113 modifications including to make them pH-, temperature-, stimuli-responsive, enable 114 drug and cargo loading as well as the flexibility which enables size and shape 115 modifications. These flexibilities could partly tackle the challenges of conventional 116 drug therapy, either via enhancing absorption and tumour penetration or stabilising 117 drug formulation. For example, the smaller NPs are known to effectively permeate 118 the tumour and hence kill the cancer cells more potently. The possible modifications 119 of nanoparticles could also be conjugated with anticancer drugs, serving as a drug 120 nanocarrier to make the drug more stable and effective under the stringent tumour 121 microenvironment. They are highly attractive for drugs that have poor water solu- 122 bility and pharmacokinetics and cause severe side effects. These properties make NP 123 a strong candidate as nanocarriers in the drug delivery system (DDS) for treating 124 cancer (Pushpamalar et al. 2021; Neerooa et al. 2021).
125 2.2 Types of Nanocarriers
126 To date, there are various types of nanocarriers that can be used for cancer treat ment 127 and they each have various ways to formulate them. Generally, however, the 128 nanostructure of the NPs is associated with the active drugs. The type of materials 129 to synthesise these nanocarriers can be categorised into two: organic (e.g., 130 lipid-based, polymer-based) and inorganic (e.g., metal, quantum, nanotube, silica) 131 (Fig. 1). Hybrid nanocarriers, on the other hand, contain a mixture of organic and/or 132 inorganic to receive the benefits of both materials (de SL Oliveira et al. 2021).
133 2.2.1 Organic Nanoparticles 134 Lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs) constitute a diverse group of nanoparticles that are 135 created from the lipid bilayers, and they often consist of the addition of amphiphilic 136 lipids to water or other hydrophilic liquids. This allows for the encapsulation of both 137 hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug molecules to be either dissolved in the liquid 138 or lipid solution to form NPs (García-Pinel et al. 2019). They demonstrate low rate of 139 toxicity, can control the release of drugs and increase the drug half-life. To date, 140 liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) 141 are the few LNPs that garnered the most attention in the drug discovery of cancer 142 treatment.

Fig. 1 Illustration of the two big categories of NPs, organic or inorganic. They are classified in accordance with the type of material used in their formation. They offer excellent potential to act as DDS for colorectal cancer
143Liposome is one of the most extensively studied lipid-based nanoparticles as 144DDS due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility behaviour. They are also 145capable of decreasing the toxicity of anticancer agents while also improving the 146efficacy of their anti-tumour properties (Yingchoncharoen et al. 2016). Various 147methods can be used to generate liposomal NPs which include sonication, extrusion, 148reverse-phase evaporation and solvent injection. Micelles (which can be made up of 149either lipids or polymer) are composed of an amphiphilic lipid head and a hydropho- 150bic single-tail region, forming a micellar nanostructure via supramole cular self- 151assembly. The hydrophilic shell plays an important role in supporting and stabilising 152the hydrophobic core, which carries and protects the drug in an aqueous solution 153(Galetti et al. 2019; Mkam Tsengam et al. 2022; Yadav et al. 2019). 154SLN is a relatively new formulated colloidal nanocarrier which mainly constitutes 155physiological lipids, ranging between 50 and 1,000 nm, and exists as a solid at both 156room and body temperature (García-Pinel et al. 2019). These lipids, namely fatty 157acids, and simple and complex glyceride mixtures are used to form the matrix of 158drug enca psulation, which is stabilised by polymers or surfactants. Development of 159SLNs as a DDS, however, poses some challenges due to their modest drug expulsion 160and loading capacity as crystallisation occurs during storage (Rajabi and Mousa
1612016). 162Therefore, nanostructu red-lipid carrier (NLC) was formulated to tackle the 163limitations of SLNs, making it a second-generation LNP (Chauhan et al. 2020). 164Constituting both solid and liquid lipids, it is typically composed of glyceryl

165 dioleate, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate or glyceryl tricaprylate (Naseri et al. 166 2015). Besides having a higher drug loading capacity, the liquid lipids in the NLC 167 improve the formulation stability by preventing lipids from crystallising which stops 168 the drug from expulsing during storage (Scioli Montoto et al. 2020). 169 Polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) have attracted significant attention when studies 170 have exhibited improved drug efficacy by minimising the side effects of anticancer 171 drugs and making these drugs more site-specific (Haider et al. 2022). PNPs are 172 formed when monomers or polymers are polymerised into solid colloidal systems 173 that encapsulate the drug. Their shape and size are highly dependent on the prepara- 174 tion method. Being stable, biocompatible and cheap with low toxicity trait, they 175 are one of the most used systems for drug delivery. PNPs are further divided in 176 accordance with their structural features and formulation process. Ones commonly 177 studied for DDS are nanogels, polymersomes, dendrimers, polymeric micelles and 178 nanocapsules (Haider et al. 2022). 179 Nanogels, also known as hydrogels, are NPs made up of cross-linked network of 180 different water-soluble polymers that can retain large amount of water. Due to its 181 high degree of fluid retention, which resembles biological tissues, nanogel is well 182 known for its high biocompatibility for cancer treatment (Haider et al. 2022). 183 Polymersomes, made of amphiphilic po lymer, mimic the physical properties of 184 liposomes, in which they both are composed of a hydrophilic head with a hydropho- 185 bic bilayer core, and can self-assemble into vesicles (Rideau et al. 2018). Their main 186 role as a nanocarrier is to encapsulate and protect the anticancer drug. Dendrimers 187 are three-dimensional (3D) PNPs that are made up of branched monomers with 188 symmetrical layers surrounding their central core (Brar et al. 2021). Its central core is 189 a spherical structure made of repeating carbon elements with repeating units 190 branching from the central core. The free space within its 3D structure was though t 191 to mediate the encapsulation of drugs of its most studied clinical applications is 192 increasing the solubility of poorly soluble drugs (Sherje et al. 2018). 193 PNPs can also self-assemble into biphasic spherical structures, such as 194 nanocapsules, which are generally formed with a core (inner material) and a shell 195 (outer layer) (Ghosh Chaudhuri and Paria 2012). It is important to note that most 196 of these nanocarriers despite being synthesised from different materials can be 197 modified to carry drugs or other cargoes that could target and kill cancer cells. 198 These PNPs are typically made up of synthetic polymers via synthetic methods 199 such as nanoprecipitation, electrospray, emulsification and particle replication in 200 nonwetting templates (PRINT).
201 2.2.2 Inorganic Nanoparticles 202 Among the metal NPs, the well-characterised and most studied NPs are gold and 203 silver NPs. One of the attractive properties of gold NPs is their photothermal 204 properties which are suitable for cancer treatment. When used together with a 205 laser, the gold nanoparticles or the loaded drugs can be released in a controlled 206 manner to specifically target and kill tumour cell s without inducing nonspecific

207toxicity (Mitchell et al. 2020). On the other hand, silver NPs are mainly found to kill 208cancer cells by forming reactive oxygen species (ROS) or inducing apoptosis. 209However, silver NPs are known for their toxicity, hence limiting their use in treating 210cancer clinically. This can be overcome by generating more biocompatible silver 211nanoparticles either by constructing core-shell layers or by using it as a drug 212nanocarrier (Sun et al. 2021). 213Meanwhile, silica NPs remain one of the most used inorganic NPs for DDS due to 214their physiochemical properties which are versatile. Mesoporous silica NPs 215(MSNPs) have great biodegradability, high drug-loading capacity and low cytotox- 216icity. Being rich with silanol groups on their surface, MSNPs can interact with 217different functional groups and molecules such as metals, polymers or ligands to 218adjust the properties and functions of the MSNPs (de SL Oliveira et al. 2021). 219Nanotubes, in particular carbon nanotu bes (CNTs), have amassed interest due 220to their multifunctional structure and properties. CNTs are carbon atoms organised 221in a honeycomb nanostructure to form a tubular shape. They are typically 222categorised into two based on carbon atom numbers: multi-wall and single-wall 223CNTs, both having different properties which impact their function as DDS. 224As their unique architecture allows for high surface area for conjugation and/or 225drug loading, and tumour penetration, they are an ideal nanocarrier for targeted 226cancer therapy. 227Quantum dots NPs (QDNPs) are semiconductor nanocrystals made up of heavy 228metal core and outer shell from periodic groups of ii-vi, such as cadmium selenide 229(cdSe) (Devi et al. 2022). They have unique photographic qualities: size-tunable 230light emission, wide absorption coefficient and high excitation of fluorescence 231colours. Though this makes them particularly useful in biomedical applications 232such as bioimaging for drug research and diagnostics, their role as cargo for drug 233delivery remains a challenge due to their poor water solubility and biocompatibility. 234The surface composition of QDNPs, however, can be chemically modified with 235organic biomaterials or inorganic metals to change their physiochemical properties 236and allow them to fit in the biological environment better, commonly known as 237hybrid NPs (Devi et al. 2022).
2382.2.3 Hybrid Nanoparticles 239Polymer-lipid hybrid NPs are an excellent example of hybrid nanocarriers. The drug 240is encapsulated in a hydrophilic/hydrophobic polymeric core and surrounded by a 241lipid layer (Rao and Prestidge 2016). They were developed to overcome the 242shortcomings of both materials, thus enhancing the biodistribution of the drug in 243the system. They inherit polymeric nanocarrier characteristics such as being rich in 244surface chemical modification and profound drug release profile and lipid-based 245nanocarriers’ efficient drug loading capacity and biocompatibility. The improved 246stability and biocompatibility make them an efficient nanocarrier in cancer therapy 247(Rao and Prestidge 2016). Table 1 summarises various types of NPs which show 248promising anticancer action against colorectal cancer.
