Abstract
ABSTRACT Currently, drug delivery systems with low toxicity and high efficacy are urgently needed to suppress cancer cells. Herein, a non-toxic and biocompatible drug carrier (mPEG-luteolin-AuNPs) was prepared, which was characteristic by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, average particle size, zeta potential and UV-Vis spectra, respectively. Considering that the morphology of supramolecular hydrogel was porous which was good for storage of drugs, a stable supramolecular hydrogel self-assembly formed based on mPEG-luteolin-AuNPs and α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) was reported. Then, supramolecular hydrogel loaded doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and sustained DOX release. Meanwhile, in vitro experiments clearly demonstrated that DOX of hydrogel (mPEG-luteolin-AuNPs/DOX) was biologically active, similar to free DOX, but with better cytotoxicity to human glioblastoma cells (U-87 MG) because of its controllable release. Our findings indicated that mPEG-luteolin-AuNPs/DOX might be promising delivery systems for anticancer chemotherapy. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
期刊介绍:
Supramolecular Chemistry welcomes manuscripts from the fields and sub-disciplines related to supramolecular chemistry and non-covalent interactions. From host-guest chemistry, self-assembly and systems chemistry, through materials chemistry and biochemical systems, we interpret supramolecular chemistry in the broadest possible sense. Interdisciplinary manuscripts are particularly encouraged. Manuscript types include: high priority communications; full papers; reviews, and; Methods papers, techniques tutorials highlighting procedures and technologies that are important to the field. We aim to publish papers in a timely fashion and as soon as a paper has been accepted and typeset it will be published in electronic form on the Latest articles section of the website. The two most important review criteria are that the paper presents high-quality work that fits generally into the broad spectrum of activities in the supramolecular chemistry field. Under normal circumstances, Supramolecular Chemistry does not consider manuscripts that would be more suitable in a highly specialized journal. This includes, but is not limited to, those based mostly or exclusively on topics such as solid state/X-ray structures, computational chemistry, or electrochemistry. .
