Abstract
ABSTRACT In the current study, it was tried to design and synthesize a new derivative of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a result of reaction with D-maltose (β-CD-M) to compare and investigate its capability as an anticancer drug nanocarrier. The success in the β-CD-M synthesis was validated via common characterization techniques: nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM results indicate that the obtained β-CD-M molecule has a crystalline structure with a size of less than 100 nm. In the following, methotrexate (MTX) and doxorubicin (DOX) as the model of anticancer drugs were separately loaded in β-CD-M and their release profile was obtained. The outcome of the cytotoxic assay against MCF 10A cells indicated that β-CD-M is biocompatible and could be used as a drug carrier. Overall, from the obtained results, the synthesized biocompatible β-CD-M with more drug loading capacity and a controlled release profile in comparison to unmodified β-CD could be proposed as a potential nanocarrier for anticancer drug delivery.
期刊介绍:
Providing a common forum for all soft matter scientists, Soft Materials covers theory, simulation, and experimental research in this rapidly expanding and interdisciplinary field. As soft materials are often at the heart of modern technologies, soft matter science has implications and applications in many areas ranging from biology to engineering.
Unlike many journals which focus primarily on individual classes of materials or particular applications, Soft Materials draw on all physical, chemical, materials science, and biological aspects of soft matter. Featured topics include polymers, biomacromolecules, colloids, membranes, Langmuir-Blodgett films, liquid crystals, granular matter, soft interfaces, complex fluids, surfactants, gels, nanomaterials, self-organization, supramolecular science, molecular recognition, soft glasses, amphiphiles, foams, and active matter.
Truly international in scope, Soft Materials contains original research, invited reviews, in-depth technical tutorials, and book reviews.
