Abstract

Oral cancer is a worldwide health issue with high incidence and mortality, demands an effective treatment to improve patient prognosis. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) emerged as a candidate for oral cancer treatment due to their unique attributes, enabling a synergistic combination with its drug-delivery capabilities and hyperthermia when exposed to magnetic fields. SPIONs can be synthesized using biopolymers from agricultural waste like lignin from paddy, which produce biogenic nano iron oxide with superparamagnetic and antioxidant effects. In addition, lignin also acts as a stabilizing agent in creating SPIONs. This study aimed to explore how agricultural waste could be used to prepare SPIONs using the green synthesis method and to evaluate its potential for oral cancer specifically focusing on its effectiveness, side effects, biocompatibility, and toxicity. A systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol. PubMed, EBSCO, and Scopus databases were exploited in the selection of articles published within the last decade. This study quality assessment uses OHAT for critical appraisal tools. Only 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings suggest that the use of agricultural waste in the preparation of SPIONs not only holds potency for oral cancer treatment through drug delivery and hyperthermia but also aligns with the concept of green dentistry. SPIONs as a treatment modality for oral cancer have demonstrated notable effectiveness and versatility. This study provides robust evidence supporting green dentistry by using agricultural waste in the preparation and formulation of SPIONs for managing oral cancer. Its multifunctional nature and ability to enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing adverse effects on healthy tissues highlights the potency of SPION-based oral cancer treatments.

Oral cancer, with its high incidence and mortality rates, is a global health concern. A new effective treatment option is required to increase the patient’s prognosis related to their Quality of Life (QoL). The estimated number of new cases of oral cancer worldwide increased from 354,864 cases reported by the Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) in 2018 to 377,173 cases according to GLOBOCAN data in 2020. Meanwhile, the number of new deaths remained stable at about 177,000 cases.1 Oral cancer has a poor prognosis as the severity phase increases, hence the need for treatment at an early stage is required.2 Treatment for oral cancer might involve several techniques, such as immunotherapy, targeted medications, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. However, because it requires intrusive procedures and has lower efficacy, this approach is thought to be less effective in treating oral cancer, It is because of the lack of tumor selectivity in the delivery of anticancer medicines, systemic toxicity frequently compromises conventional cancer chemotherapy therapies. The drug’s dose is restricted due to adverse effects, which makes it challenging to treat cancer effectively.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIONs) nanoparticles are one of the interesting biomedicine nanoparticles because of their advanced properties and cytotoxicity features.3 SPIONs can be obtained through coprecipitation methods, which involve the simultaneous precipitation of iron salts in the presence of suitable reactants.4 Different coprecipitation techniques have been introduced in the literature. One method involves the use of glycine as a reactant, allowing for the creation of SPIONs with size and decoration that can be adjusted. Another method utilizes a reaction involving dextran, ferric trichloride, and ferrous chloride, followed by ultrafiltration to obtain purified SPIONs. Targeted theranostic nanosystems can also be created by engineering SPIONs with an organic covering made of bovine serum albumin and low molecular weight heparin.5 The coprecipitation process of SPIONs involves the aggregation of initially formed primary particles, which then accrete to form the final nanoparticles.6 Still, using the coprecipitation method makes it hard to achieve the proper size and shape for the nanomaterial. Additionally, it will lead to the formation of aggregated structures rather than monodisperse particles.7,8

Due to its affordability and potential uses in a variety of industries, the environmentally friendly synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, or SPIONs, has drawn a lot of interest.9–11 By utilizing plant materials and agro-wastes as reducing agents and stabilizers in the synthesis process, researchers have explored a biocompatible and non-toxic alternative to traditional physical and chemical methods.12 The optimization of synthesis parameters, including temperature, pH, iron salt concentration, and coating materials, has resulted in SPIONs with exceptional properties such as superparamagnetism, stability, and biocompatibility. These synthesized SPIONs hold promise for various applications in medicine and sustainable agro-environments.1 Additionally, the green synthesis approach demonstrates various advantages such as low catalyst loading, short reaction time, stability, and recyclability, positioning it as a promising method for the fabrication of magnetic organic-inorganic hybrid catalysts. In summary, the green synthesis of SPIONs provides a sustainable and environmentally conscious approach to producing nanoparticles with wide-ranging applications in different fields.

In 2023, the rice harvest area in Indonesia is estimated to be 10.20 million hectares with rice production of around 53.63 million tons.13 The waste produced from paddy plants is straw, bran, and husks. Straw is produced as much as 55.6% of the total rice yield, grain is around 44.4%, and only around 65% becomes rice, while the rest is in the form of husks and bran.14 With the high amount of waste produced, we need a way to utilize it to develop the potential of the waste. SPIONs can be synthesized using biopolymers from agricultural waste, like lignin from paddy straw, which produces biogenic nanoiron oxide with superparamagnetic and antioxidant effects. Antioxidants protect cells and organelles from oxidative damage, thereby preventing chronic diseases. It also eliminates the use of dangerous chemicals as capping and reducing agents in an economical, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly manner.

Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have gained significant interest in various fields due to their unique physicochemical properties and potential applications. Several studies have focused on the synthesis and characterization of these nanoparticles using green methods. Abdullah et al, for instance, examined the effects of adding chemical and green magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles to poly(ε-caprolactone) nanofibrous membranes and discovered that the green nanoparticles performed better than the chemical nanoparticles in terms of their physicochemical, morphological, and functional characteristics.15 Elizondo-Villarreal et al synthesized magnetite nanoparticles using extracts of green lemon residues and demonstrated their potential application in anticorrosive coatings.9 Moacă et al successfully synthesized biocompatible magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles using ethanolic extracts of Camellia sinensis and Ocimum basilicum leaves and evaluated their biological effects on lung cancer cell lines.16 Kharey et al reported the green synthesis of biocompatible iron oxide-gold composite nanoparticles using a medicinal plant extract and highlighted their potential for biomedical imaging and therapeutics.10 Amos-Tautua et al synthesized gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles using a green method and characterized their textural, thermo-gravimetric, and magnetic properties, demonstrating their potential for biomedical and analytical applications.17

This study aims to explore how to produce superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles using lignin from agricultural waste and to evaluate its potential for oral cancer treatment, specifically focusing on their effectiveness, side effects, biocompatibility, and toxicity. This review will hopefully provide insight into the potential of SPIONs as a new modality in the treatment of oral cancer. This study has implications for future research directions and future clinical practice, which will ultimately contribute to better treatment and outcomes for patients in the management of oral cancer.

Studies found that there are several plant extracts used in the production of SPIONs using the biosynthesis method, such as lignin that can be obtained from paddy straw and wheat straw. The plant extract combined with FeSO4. There are several ways to use SPIONs to inhibit or destroy cancer cells. Some of the ways that SPIONs work, it can be modified by PEI (branch Fe3O4) by binding into Tca83 cell DNA (Tongue carcinoma cell). In addition, SPION can target cancer cells specifically through anticancer imaging and potentially has anti-cancer activity in tongue cancer by targeting the mitochondria. Furthermore, the use of SPION with the combination of magnetic exposure could kill carcinoma cells with hyperthermia. Studies found that the most effective and good way to destroy and kill cancer cells is the use of SPION to destroy cancers through hyperthermia.

Discussion

The findings suggest that SPIONs can be produced from biosynthesis methods, which is an effective and inexpensive process. Lignin, which is derived from natural resources like wheat, lumber, and paddy straw, is one instance of a plant component that can be regarded as agricultural waste. It is derived from the waste products produced by paper mills and the paper industry. In order to create nanomaterials, lignin was extracted from agricultural waste and utilized as a capping and reducing agent. The plant list can be viewed in (Table 3). The extract’s lignin was layered on superparamagnetic nanomaterials and served as a reducing and capping agent during the synthesis of SPIONs. The process can be seen in (Figure 4).1 Table 3 Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) from Green Dentistry Process

The straw of wheat and paddy was used to extract lignin. As per the earlier research conducted by R. Periakaruppan et al,35 toluene-ethanol was added to the powdered lignin extract to dewax it. Using an alkali extraction method, lignin was extracted from the dewaxed straw of wheat and paddy and then submerged in a sodium hydroxide solution. The soluble hemicelluloses were eliminated by mixing 95% ethanol with 2.5 N HCl. Finally, the soluble alkali lignin was separated using repeated precipitation of lignin by retaining the pH 1.5–2.0. De-ionized water was used to create a 100 mL solution of 0.1 M ferrous sulfate, which was then combined with lignin. Furthermore, 0.3 M sodium hydroxide was added to the reaction mixture. In the end, brownish-black precipitation was obtained.

SPIONs can be made using a variety of methods, such as co-precipitation, thermal decomposition, and microemulsion.36 While the co-precipitation is one of the most simple and efficient methods, but This approach often produces nanoparticles with a high degree of polydispersity and low crystallinity which unsuitable for producing a highly pure, accurate stoichiometric phase The thermal decomposition method provides monodisperse and high quality nanoparticles. However, because harmful chemicals including hexane, iron pentacarbonyl, and chloroform are used in the synthesis, this method is not very environmentally friendly. The primary benefit of using microemulsion methods for the preparation of SPION is the ability to regulate the size of the nanoparticles by adjustment of the micelle size. Furthermore, a better particle polydispersity is seen as a result of the micelles’ generally uniform size. The low yield and low crystallinity of SPION produced by the usually achievable reaction temperature is one of the drawbacks of microemulsion synthesis.37–39 Compared to the other existing methods, SPIONs using a biosynthesis method from agricultural waste are affordable, more environmentally friendly, more sustainable, and more effective. This is because SPIONs produced by biosynthesis are recognized for their biocompatibility and versatility, rendering them appropriate for a range of medical uses. It also provides a simple and effective means of producing SPIONs, rendering it a more economical and accessible method.40

Mostly by inducing hyperthermia, which is noninvasive and causes little harm to the surrounding healthy tissues, SPIONs have great promise as a cutting-edge treatment for oral cancer. SPIONs hold significant potential as a novel approach to oral cancer treatment, mainly through hyperthermia, which is noninvasive and minimally disruptive to surrounding healthy tissues.41

Magnetic hyperthermia is used in the treatment of oral cancer with SPIONs. The Alternating Magnetic Field (AMF) is the foundation of this technique. Heat is released into the environment as iron’s magnetization changes in response to certain resistance forces (also known as the Brownian and Neel relaxation process).42 This phenomenon explained in (Figure 5) can be employed as an adjuvant treatment for radiation or chemotherapy, or it can be used directly in cancer treatments. Either drug delivery or cell damage is caused by the emitted heat. Because superparamagnetic have larger hysteresis losses for single-domain magnetic particles, they produce more heat than ferromagnetics under the same circumstances.43 Figure 5 Schematic Illustration of SPIONs in Oral Cancer Treatment.

Litweka et al reported that SPIONs can be given in two general ways to produce hyperthermia. The first method involves directly injecting NPs into the tumor. A more uniform distribution across the entire circulatory system may be achieved by injecting them into the veins, which is the second option. When SPIONs are specifically directed towards tumor cells, as might be done using specific antibodies, the process creates a large build-up of SPIONs both outside and inside those cells.44 Thermal energy will only be released inside the tumor and its immediate surroundings when SPIONs are placed in a magnetic field. After that, only a small number of nearby healthy cells would be impacted by collateral damage. According to a study by Szwed and Marczak. The entire process causes the tumor’s temperature to rise to 43–45°C, or usually higher if it is above 42°C. This is high enough to kill the cells.45 The treatment is successful because the high temperature triggers several processes that ultimately destroy the cells. This is especially important since cancer cells are far more sensitive to temperature increases because they have numerous somatic mutations.46 The mechanism underlying SPIONs magnetic hyperthermia is the application of an alternate magnetic field, typically with a moderate amplitude and frequency ranging from 100–300 kHz, to convert magnetic energy into thermal energy. The production of heat is facilitated by four distinct mechanisms, namely eddy current loss, hysteresis loss, Néel relaxation loss, and Brown relaxation loss.42,47,48 The superparamagnetic characteristics of the SPIONs not only allow them to combine chemotherapy and hyperthermia, but they also give T2 contrast for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the capacity to locally accumulate in particular tissues or organs when an external magnetic field is applied.49

Systemic toxicity, resulting from a lack of tumor specificity in the delivery of anticancer drugs, frequently compromises conventional cancer chemotherapy treatments. The drug’s side effects restrict the dosage that can be taken, making it challenging to treat cancer effectively.50 By specifically targeting the tumor and utilizing the naturally leaking vasculature of the tumor to enhance the accumulation of drug-loaded nanoparticles within the tumor interstitium,51 nanoparticle-based drug delivery has the possibility of overcoming this obstacle. The more advantageous pharmacokinetics and adjustable biodistribution of nanoparticles allow for the loading of anticancer medications, which can boost the drug’s effectiveness. It is also possible to shield drug molecules contained in a nanoparticle from oxidation and degradation while the particle is in circulation.51–53

Drugs that are delivered locally and formulated inside SPIONs have the ability to either passively or actively target cancer cells. When SPIONs are actively targeted, they are functionalized to recognize particular receptors on the cancer cell surface, which increases drug delivery inside the cancer cell while sparing most healthy cells. In passive targeting, SPIONs enter cancer cells through diffusion and enter the cytoplasm through endocytosis.51,52 TRPV1 or the epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) are the type of receptors. Magnetic drug targeting (MDT) is a technique that uses an external magnetic field to guide SPIONs to the tumor region. This allows for more precise delivery of the drug to the tumor site, reducing side effects and increasing treatment efficacy.53,54 Furthermore, SPIONs can be used as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which makes imaging-controlled therapy possible.55

Our study concludes the effectiveness of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) in oral cancer treatment can be viewed from how SPIONs characteristics can be used for targeted drug delivery, multimodal therapy, and imaging. SPIONs can be functionalized with various cargos, such as chemotherapeutic agents, photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, and immune modulators, allowing for targeted delivery to tumor cells. This targeted delivery can help overcome the challenges of conventional chemotherapy, such as systemic toxicity and lack of tumor specificity.

It is possible for SPIONs to identify and communicate with bloodstream-circulating immune cells. This is an example of how immune cells that have been loaded with nanomedicines function as drug carriers, greatly prolonging the half-life of nanoparticles that have broad-spectrum tumor-targeting capabilities. It is interesting to note that immune cells have homing properties that allow them to cross a variety of biological barriers and make them natural carriers. SPIONs can be made from agricultural wastes, such as lignin, using a biosynthesis method. This method involves using plant extracts or biopolymers from agricultural waste to produce biogenic nanoiron oxide with superparamagnetic power and antioxidant strength. It has been discovered that biological processes using agro-waste under green synthesis are easier, more cost-efficient, and more ecologically friendly than physical and chemical processes for creating iron oxide-based nanostructures.11

This study has potential limitations due to limits of access to data and limits the representativeness, validity, or reliability of the data. Only a small amount of study so far has been specifically explaining SPIONs produced with biosynthesis method in oral cancer treatment. The search result of this study relied solely on in-vitro, which may not accurately reflect the interactions that occur in vivo. This causes a gap between the research that has been carried out and the facts in the fields. The findings of this study may not be directly applicable to clinical settings. Therefore, to overcome the limitation of this study, further research could focus on incorporating in-vivo for better clinical practice. However, according to our paper, agricultural waste such as lignin can be produced into SPIONs using the biosynthesis method and holds potency for oral cancer treatment using drug delivery and hyperthermia.

Conclusion

Using SPIONs as a treatment modality for oral cancer has demonstrated notable effectiveness and versatility. This study provides robust evidence supporting the use of SPIONs in managing oral cancer and the potential of creating SPIONs through the green synthesis process. Their multifunctional nature and ability to enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing collateral damage to healthy tissues underscore the effectiveness and promise of SPION-based oral cancer treatments. This is demonstrated by SPIONs potential ability from agricultural waste to target and destroy specific oral cancer cells. Perhaps, future research is necessary to increase the application of SPIONs in treating oral cancer.
