Gold nanoparticles loaded chitosan encapsulate 6-mercaptopurine as a novel nanocomposite for chemo-photothermal therapy on breast cancer

Abstract: Background As a promising strategy to overcome the therapeutic disadvantages of 6-mercaptopurine (6MP), we proposed the encapsulation of 6MP in chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) to form the 6MP-CNPs complexes. The encapsulation was followed by the loading of complexes on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to generate a novel 6MP-CNPs-AuNPs nanocomposite to facilitate the chemo-photothermal therapeutic effect. Methods CNPs were produced based on the ionic gelat… Show more

“…Additionally, in a murine xenograft tumor model, PTX-NPs exhibited excellent biosafety and outstanding anti-tumor activity. [172] Faid et al [158] encapsulated 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) into CNPs (6MP-CNPs) and loaded them onto gold NPs to create a 6MP-CNPs-AuNPs nanocomposite. While 6MP production reached a peak of approximately 39 % at 100 μM, the antiproliferation activity of 6MP-CNPs-AuNPs and 6MP-CNPs was significantly enhanced, reaching IC 50 values of 8.7 and 9.3 μM, respectively.…”

“…In particular, the effect on cellular proliferation of the human breast carcinoma cell line MCF7 was demonstrated, comparing free 6MP, which produces maximum inhibition of 39% at 100 μM, 6MP-CNPs with an IC50 at 9.3 μM, and 6MP-CNPs reaching 8.7 μM. The encapsulation of 6MP guarantees higher anti-proliferation activity, an augmented intracellular uptake, and thus a reduction of side effects [ 102 ]. Hyaluronic acid (HA)-Au@SiO2@Au NPs were proposed for the treatment of bladder and prostate cancers in mice.…”

“…Recently, AuNPs with various surface coatings (polymers) and modifications have been studied as novel PTT agents [19]. Also, the coating of AuNPs with organic or biological molecules has attracted enormous interest in reducing the toxicity of bare AuNPs and preventing the NPs aggregation which influences the optical properties and alters their activation under laser radiation [23].…”
