Enzyme/pH-sensitive dendritic polymer-DOX conjugate for cancer treatment

Abstract: It is in a great demand to design a biodegradable, tumor microenvironment-sensitive drug delivery system to achieve safe and highly efficacious treatment of cancer. Herein, a novel pH/enzyme sensitive dendritic pdiHPMA-DOX conjugate was designed. diHPMA dendritic copolymer with GFLG segments in the branches which are sensitive to the intracellular enzyme of the tumor was prepared through RAFT polymerization. DOX was attached to dendritic diHP-MA polymer through a pH-sensitive hydrazone bond. The dendritic pdiH… Show more

“…On the other hand, taking advantage of the MARACA mechanism, all of the maleimide-based enediynes exhibit significant cytotoxicity toward all three kinds of cancer cells. The IC 50 values range from micromolar to submicromolar levels, comparable to or even higher than many commercial antitumor agents like cisplatin , and doxorubicin . As essential properties for small molecular drugs, solubility and permeability are measured by log P and topological polar surface area (tPSA) values .…”

“…Considering that both cytotoxic drugs and VDAs need to reach the tumor site to produce a marked effect, we can use the tumor-microenvironment-responsive nanocarriers to enhance the selective release of cytotoxic drugs and VDAs at the tumor sites. According to the characteristics of tumor microenvironment, such as enzymes [12] and pH [13][14][15] differences, high reactive oxygen species (ROS) [16][17][18] and L-glutathione (GSH) [19] level, various stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have been designed. Of these aspects, as the GSH concentration of the malignant tissues is at least four-fold higher than that of the normal tissues [20][21][22], and the intracellular concentration of GSH is much higher than that in most extracellular fluids [23,24], many new GSH responsive nanoparticles achieved selective release of drugs at tumors [25].…”

“…Fourier transform infrared and titrimetry have been used to characterize their surface chemistry (Gorzkiewicz et al, 2019; Nguyen et al, 2019). Basic properties and structures of dendritic polymers, such as multiple functional groups, excellent water‐solubility, low viscosity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and stimuli‐responsiveness, endow them with great potential in various applications in the bio‐related field, including but not limited to drug/gene delivery, cancer diagnosis, tissue regeneration, and theranostics (K. Chen, Liao, Guo, Zhang, et al, 2018; Dai et al, 2018; L. Li, Wang, C., Huang, et al, 2018; Pan, Guo, Luo, Yi, & Gu, 2014).…”
