“…In general, the bands corresponding to υ(M À S) are obtained below 400 cm À1 , which could not be assigned as the IR spectra was recorded between 4000 and 400 cm À1 . The overall IR spectra of the complexes suggest that the complexation takes place through the S C H E M E 1 Synthetic route of heteroleptic metal complexes (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) hydrazinic nitrogen and thione sulphur atoms of the bidentate ligand, and carboxylic and pyridone oxygen atoms of ciprofloxacin drug.…”

“…[3,4] These drawbacks motivated scientists to develop alternate and efficient chemotherapic agents of non-platinum metals such as vanadium, nickel, copper, ruthenium, palladium, silver, and gold. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Thiosemicarbazones (TSCs) and their derivatives bind with the metal ion as anion through one of the hydrazinic nitrogen and thione sulphur atoms, resulting in the formation of a chelate ring. [11,12] These TSC derivatives have gained the attention of researchers for several decades because of their wide range of biological properties, which include anti-proliferative, anti-trypanosomal, anti-diabatic, anti-HIV, anti-viral, anti-malarial, antiamoebic, anti-microbial, and anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis activity.…”

In this study, a series of new heteroleptic silver(I), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes of the type [M(L1–3)(Cfx)n] (1–9), where L1–3 = N4‐substituted thiosemicarbazones (TSCs), Cfx = ciprofloxacin, M = Ag(I), Ni(II), or Cu(II), and n = 1 or 2, have been synthesized and characterized by spectral methods. The spectral data of the complexes suggest bidentate behavior of the TSC ligand, which coordinate with metal ion through thione sulphur and hydrazine nitrogen atoms, and neutral bidentate behavior of the ciprofloxacin drug that coordinates with metal ion through pyridone oxygen and one of the carboxylate oxygen atoms. The structural properties of the silver(I) complexes (1–3) were studied by density functional theory calculations, which indicate the distorted tetrahedral geometry with lower energy gap for complex 3. All the heteroleptic complexes were screened for their in vitro anti‐proliferative activity against four cancerous (lung [A549], estrogen negative [MDA‐MB‐231], estrogen positive [MCF‐7] and Henrietta's cancer cells [HeLa]), and one non‐cancerous (non‐tumorigenic human breast epithelial cell line [MCF‐10a]) cell lines by MTT reduction assay. The obtained results revealed the lower activity of silver(I) complexes and higher activity of copper(II) complexes against the tested cancer cell lines. The complexes 6 and 9 induce apoptosis in MDA‐MB‐231 cells, which was evidenced by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining method. The molecular docking studies revealed hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions between the complexes and the epidermal growth factor receptor. The in silico analysis of the complexes for Lipinski's “rule of five” and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion properties predicted the drug‐likeness of the synthesized complexes.

“…Therefore, they are mainly applied in the biomedical industry due to their unique surface, electronic, and optical properties. They are also used as innovative tools in diagnostic research, e.g., the detection of heart disease or cancer biomarkers, and in drug delivery systems [ 16 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]. Numerous reports have been published regarding the toxicity of gold nanoparticles depending on their size, shape, or structure of the coating and the spectrum of experimentally measured parameters.…”

Silver and gold nanoparticles can be found in a range of household products related to almost every area of life, including patches, bandages, paints, sportswear, personal care products, food storage equipment, cosmetics, disinfectants, etc. Their confirmed ability to enter the organism through respiratory and digestive systems, skin, and crossing the blood–brain barrier raises questions of their potential effect on cell function. Therefore, this manuscript aimed to summarize recent reports concerning the influence of variables such as size, shape, concentration, type of coating, or incubation time, on effects of gold and silver nanoparticles on cultured cell lines. Due to the increasingly common use of AgNP and AuNP in multiple branches of the industry, further studies on the effects of nanoparticles on different types of cells and the general natural environment are needed to enable their long-term use. However, some environmentally friendly solutions to chemically synthesized nanoparticles are also investigated, such as plant-based synthesis methods.

“…In most cases, hydrophobic drugs are incorporated into the hydrophobic core of polymeric micelles via hydrophobic interactions and other interactions, such as ligand coordination bonding [ 35 , 36 ] and electrostatic interaction [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Thus, undoubtedly, the tenuous hydrophobicity of nucleoside drugs should be adjusted.…”

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is an infectious viral disease that is prevalent worldwide. Traditional nucleoside analogues, as well as the novel drug targets against hepatitis B virus (HBV), are associated with certain critical factors that influence the curative effect, such as biological stability and safety, effective drug delivery, and controlled release. Nanoparticle drug delivery systems have significant advantages and have provided a basis for the development of anti-HBV strategies. In this review, we aim to review the advances in nanoparticle drug delivery systems for anti-hepatitis B virus therapy by summarizing the relevant literature. First, we focus on the characteristics of nanoparticle drug delivery systems for anti-HBV therapy. Second, we discuss the nanoparticle delivery systems for anti-HBV nucleoside drugs, gene-based drugs, and vaccines. Lastly, we provide an overview of the prospects for nanoparticle-based anti-HBV agents.
