Abstract
Polymeric systems are used in clinical settings to bind small molecules and ions. They show advantages in pharmacokinetics and reduced side effects compared to low-molecular-weight agents. In this study, a cross-linked β-cyclodextrin polymer is functionalized with deferoxamine to develop more efficient ways of delivering iron chelators. Deferoxamine is a well-known iron chelator used to treat iron overload conditions. The resulting deferoxamine polymeric conjugate, with an equal complexing capacity to deferoxamine, showed significantly lower cytotoxicity compared to free deferoxamine in all cancer cell lines studied (neuroblastoma SHSY5Y, breast cancer MDA-MB-231, ovarian adenocarcinoma A2780, and lung cancer A549). The results demonstrate that the conjugation reduces the toxicity of deferoxamine at the same complexing capacity and reveals the potential of deferoxamine-based cyclodextrin conjugates as a novel approach for targeting iron dyshomeostasis.
期刊介绍：
ChemistryOpen is a multidisciplinary, gold-road open-access, international forum for the publication of outstanding Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields. It is co-owned by 16 continental European Chemical Societies, who have banded together in the alliance called ChemPubSoc Europe for the purpose of publishing high-quality journals in the field of chemistry and its border disciplines. As some of the governments of the countries represented in ChemPubSoc Europe have strongly recommended that the research conducted with their funding is freely accessible for all readers (Open Access), ChemPubSoc Europe was concerned that no journal for which the ethical standards were monitored by a chemical society was available for such papers. ChemistryOpen fills this gap.
