The growth inhibition ranking was MTX>anionic G-MTX-L>anionic G-MTX-H>cationic G-MTX-L. High drug load may hinder lysosomal enzyme degradation and drug release and contribute to suppression of the MW effect observed with G-MTX-L. A mechanism change is suggested as the cationic conjugates increase to the highest MW.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
