Encapsulation of curcumin within poly(amidoamine) dendrimers for delivery to cancer cells

Abstract: Curcumin has anti-proliferative and pro-apototic properties against a variety of cancer cells in vitro. Unfortunately, the water-insolubility and instability leads to its low bioavailability in vivo tests. Here, we report a general approach to using poly(amidoamine) dendrimer with acetyl terminal groups to encapsulate curcumin(G₅-Ac/Cur) for drug delivery to cancer cells. The solubility, release kinetics, anticancer activity, and apoptotic-related protein expression (Bax and Bcl-2) were investigated in detail.… Show more

“…Dendrimers have been used as passive anticancer nanocarriers [365,369,370,[377][378][379]. An early example of in vivo passive targeting Is the conjugation of a sodium carboxyl-terminated G-3.5 polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer with cisplatin for the treatment of B16F10 induced melanomas, achieving an enhanced antitumor efficacy compared with the free drug [372].…”

“…121 More examples of herbal loaded NE are presented in Table 1. [122][123][124][125][126][127][128] However, many other dendrimers such as polyamidoamine organosilicon (PAMAMOS), polypropyleneimine (PPI), and glycodendrimers have been developed and studied but with less common use. 120…”
