Objective: The aim of this work was focused on the obtaining a DNA-based hybrid nano liquid crystalline organometallic composites for targeted drug delivery in neutron capture therapy. Methods:The formation of a cholesteric liquid crystalline DNA (CLCD-DNA) dispersion has performed using ultrasonic depolymerized calf thymus DNA(MW-0.6-0.8×10 6 Da)2×10 -7 M, mixing with polyethylene glycol 8.5×10 -5 M, dissolved in the 0.3 M NaCl solution and incubated over 1,0 h at 20 °C. CLCD-DNA formation process was determined and controlled by measuring absorption value of circular dichroism (CD) spectrum in the range of 350-600 nm. The organometallic DNA-Gd compound was formed by processing the obtained CLCD-DNA with 2.49 × 10 -4 M, 4.97 × 10 -4 M, 9.8 × 10 -4 M, 1.48× 10 -3 M, 2.92 × 10 -3 M GdCl3 aqueous solutions. CLCD-DNA-gadolinium complex formation process was registered over the appearance of 2 nd amplitude in the CD spectrum. DNA-Gd complex dispersion toxicity was evaluated over 40 min, 24h and 72h incubation with 1×10 6 cells in the RPMI-40 medium supplemented with 3×10 -4 M Gd 3+ . Results:The obtained CLCD-DNA-Gd (d~500 nm) particles was shown less toxicity and higher viability percentage of macrophages after 40 min incubation with CLCD-DNA-Gd contains Gd 3+ ions concentration 3×10 -4 M showed 100% viability and after 72 h ours approximately 89%. The cells immobilized with CLCD-DNA-Gd particles contains 3×10 -4 M Gd 3+ , neutron irritation was caused a 100% cell deaths. Conclusion:Obtained relatively stable, non-cytotoxic drug forms with a maximum local concentration of gadolinium (400 µg/ml). The effectiveness of these nanosystems for targeted drug delivery has markedly superior efficacy than 10 B and other products were based on gadolinium.
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.
