Abstract
Heart failure, a leading cause of mortality among cardiovascular disease patients, is primarily a consequence of chronic heart failure (CHF) and myocardial tissue damage associated with apoptosis. Leveraging the pharmacological success of Dapagliflozin, an SGLT-2 inhibitor known for reducing glucose reabsorption and its preventative efficacy against cardiovascular diseases, we have engineered and synthesized a novel derivative, compound 2, to enhance therapeutic outcomes. Furthermore, we utilized chitosan (CS) as a carrier matrix and integrated a bioactive compound, compound 1, synthesized from actinomycetes, to develop an antimicrobial drug delivery material, CS-1, designated for the administration of compound 2 (CS-1@2), which exhibits pH-responsive antimicrobial effects. The physicochemical properties, in vitro biological characteristics, and bioactivity of CS-1@2 were rigorously evaluated. Results indicated that CS-1 possesses a porous structure, facilitating accelerated release of compound 2 in mildly acidic conditions. In vitro cellular assays were conducted, establishing a CHF model using doxorubicin-induced AC16 cardiomyocytes. This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which CS-1@2 mitigates doxorubicin-induced damage in AC16 myocardial cells, highlighting its potential in CHF management. This study lays a promising foundation for targeted therapy of chronic heart failure (CHF) and promotes its translational application in personalized cardiovascular medicine.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects.
Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence.
Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
