Glutathione-Responsive Supramolecular Micelles Based on β-Cyclodextrin Construction: Combining Photodynamic Therapy and Chemotherapy for Cancer Treatment.
Purpose: Anticancer drugs often suffer from poor water solubility, low utilization rates, and high side effects, which significantly impact cancer treatment. This study aims to design and develop a multi-therapy intelligent drug delivery system that can address these issues and improve the therapeutic efficacy of cancer treatment by combining chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy.
Methods: An amphiphilic supramolecular, TPPC6-SS-CD, based on β-cyclodextrin and porphyrin derivatives, was synthesized. The compound self-assembles into micelles in aqueous solution, demonstrating glutathione-responsive properties.
Results: The micelles were successfully cleaved by glutathione, enabling the release of etoposide and porphyrin. This release resulted in combined chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy, inducing tumor cell death. Under 425 nm irradiation, the micelles loaded with etoposide showed better tumor cell growth inhibition compared to the free etoposide and porphyrin.
Conclusion: This study presents a new type of supramolecular nanocarriers designed for the combined delivery of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy. The findings demonstrate the potential of this system for tumor treatment, offering valuable insights for the development of drug delivery vectors in biological, chemical, and photodynamic industries.
期刊介绍:
Pharmaceutical Research, an official journal of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, is committed to publishing novel research that is mechanism-based, hypothesis-driven and addresses significant issues in drug discovery, development and regulation. Current areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
-(pre)formulation engineering and processing-
computational biopharmaceutics-
drug delivery and targeting-
molecular biopharmaceutics and drug disposition (including cellular and molecular pharmacology)-
pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics.
Research may involve nonclinical and clinical studies, and utilize both in vitro and in vivo approaches. Studies on small drug molecules, pharmaceutical solid materials (including biomaterials, polymers and nanoparticles) biotechnology products (including genes, peptides, proteins and vaccines), and genetically engineered cells are welcome.
