Abstract:This research constructs an esterase-responsive hyperbranched polyprodrug nano pharmaceutical and investigates their antitumor activity. Polyprodrug micelle was prepared by one-pot method based on glutathione (GSH), doxorubicin (DOX), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) under the catalyst of N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt). The polyprodrug was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), ultra… Show more
“…15 For example, Qiao et al constructed an esterase-responsive polyprodrug micelle for loading, delivery, and release of the antitumor drug DOX. 16 Gao et al prepared a thermoresponsive hydrogel (GO@PNIPAAm) for loading the drug ciprofloxacin (CIP). 17 Our team constructed a pH stimulus-responsive nanocarrier based on modified β-CD and cetyl benzyldimethylammonium chloride for loading the drug celastrol (CSL).…”
The anti-liver cancer nanocarrier (AβCD/HA NC) was equipped with both HAase and temperature sensitivity, which could effectively and actively target specific cells, thus promising for targeted therapy of liver cancer cells.

“…For example, doxorubicin (Dox) conjugated in the linear polymer backbone with an amino group did not affect the pharmacophore [16][17][18][19][20][21] and showed similar cell viabilities to free Dox, probably because normal tissues were exposed to drugs at critical micelle concentration of the linear polymer backbone. Meanwhile, Dox conjugation in the hyperbranched polymer with the amino and hydroxyl groups changed the structure and pharmacophore of Dox, 22,23 thereby decreasing the drug efficacy of Dox in vitro. Another crucial factor for conjugated drugs in nanocarriers is the nonbiodegradable carrier in vivo.…”
A glutathione (GSH)-responsive polyethylene glycol (PEG)ylated nanogel conjugated with doxorubicin (Dox) was prepared based on a linker with disulfide bonds, PEG, and Dox using a one-pot method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
