Amylase-Sensitive Polymeric Nanoparticles Based on Dextran Sulfate and Doxorubicin with Anticoagulant Activity

Abstract

This study looked into the synthesis and study of Dextrane Sulfate–Doxorubicin Nanoparticles (DS–Dox NP) that are sensitive to amylase and show anticoagulant properties. The particles were obtained by the method of solvent replacement. They had a size of 305 ± 58 nm, with a mass ratio of DS:Dox = 3.3:1. On heating to 37 °C, the release of Dox from the particles was equal to 24.2% of the drug contained. In the presence of amylase, this ratio had increased to 42.1%. The study of the biological activity of the particles included an assessment of the cytotoxicity and the effect on hemostasis and antitumor activity. In a study of cytotoxicity on the L929 cell culture, it was found that the synthesized particles had less toxicity, compared to free doxorubicin. However, in the presence of amylase, their cytotoxicity was higher than the traditional forms of the drug. In a study of the effect of DS–Dox NP on hemostasis, it was found that the particles had a heparin-like anticoagulant effect. Antitumor activity was studied on the model of ascitic Zaidel hepatoma in rats. The frequency of complete cure in animals treated with the DS–Dox nanoparticles was higher, compared to animals receiving the traditional form of the drug.

Targeting Fluorescence Imaging of RGD-Modified Indocyanine Green Micelles on Gastric Cancer

“…Next, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) were adopted to assess the effect of DSPE-PEG-RGD@ICG micelles on the coagulation system (Pyataev et al, 2019). Briefly, fresh blood samples were collected as mentioned above and stabilized with sodium citrate.…”

Surface modification strategies for improved hemocompatibility of polymeric materials: a comprehensive review

“…Incorporation of plant bioactive polyphenols to hydrogel led to anti-inflammation effect, and cellulose-dextran hydrogel has shown cell proliferation without causing cytotoxicity. Pyataev et al 57 noticed that blend of dextran sulphate and doxorubicin presented sensitive behavior to amylase, it also shows anti-coagulant properties in cell culture. It improved efficiency level to treat cancer tumor compared to doxorubicin.…”

Development of stimuli responsive polymeric nanomedicines modulating tumor microenvironment for improved cancer therapy

“…Enzymes have essential roles in current nanotechnology because of their excellent biorecognition abilities and preeminent catalytic properties [ 88 , 110 , 111 ]. The abnormal enzyme expression observed in the TME facilitates strategies using enzyme responsive polymeric nanomedicines for precise delivery and triggered release of therapeutic agents at the tumor site to enhance cancer therapy [ 87 , 112 ], [ 113 ], [ 114 ], [ 115 ], [ 116 ], [ 117 ], [ 118 ], [ 119 ].…”
