Enhancing the anticancer efficacy of camptothecin using biotinylated poly(ethyleneglycol) conjugates in sensitive and multidrug-resistant human ovarian carcinoma cells

Abstract: The results obtained demonstrate that the binding of CPT to PEG/PEG-biotin polymers increases its cytotoxicity, ability to induce apoptosis by the activation of caspase-dependent cell death signaling pathway and simultaneous suppression of antiapoptotic cellular defense. This suggests that the targeting approach utilizing transporters such as SMVT may substantially improve the delivery of CPT and its anticancer activity by enhancing cellular permeability and possibly retention of CPT.

“…138 Accordingly, several research groups have tested different biotinylated chemotherapeutic agents for cancer cell-specific drug delivery. [139][140][141][142] Patil et al investigated simultaneous targeted delivery of paclitaxel with tariquidar (a third-generation P-glycoprotein modulator) using PLGA nanoparticles to overcome tumor drug resistance. Nanoparticles were surface-functionalized with biotin for active tumor targeting.…”

“…Following biotin starvation, biotin uptake reaches a plateau after 20 minutes of biotin re-addition. After reaching a maximum intracellular concentration, biotin efflux occurs in a temperature and pH independent manner [77]. The optimum temperature for uptake was determined to be 30°C, and optimum pH ranged from 3.8 to 4.0 for total or free biotin and 2.8 to 7.0 for protein-bound biotin [76].…”
