Abstract
Dendrimers constitute a distinctive category of synthetic materials that bear resemblance to proteins in various aspects, such as discrete structural organization, globular morphology, and nanoscale dimensions. Remarkably, these attributes coexist with the capacity for facile large-scale production. Due to these advantages, the realm of dendrimers has undergone substantial advancement since their inception in the 1980s. Numerous reviews have been dedicated to elucidating this subject comprehensively, delving into the properties and applications of quintessential dendrimer varieties like PAMAM, PPI, and others. Nevertheless, the contemporary landscape of dendrimers transcends these early paradigms, witnessing the emergence of a diverse array of novel dendritic architectures in recent years. In this review, we aim to present a comprehensive panorama of the expansive domain of dendrimers. As such, our focus lies in discussing the key attributes and applications of the predominant types of dendrimers existing today. We will commence with the conventional variants and progressively delve into the more pioneering ones, including Janus, supramolecular, shape-persistent, and rotaxane dendrimers.

Carbosilane ruthenium metallodendrimer as alternative anti-cancer drug carrier in triple negative breast cancer mouse model: A preliminary study. Int J Pharm 2023; 636:122784. [PMID: 36858135 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023]
Abstract
The carbosilane metallodendrimer G1-[[NCPh(o-N)Ru(η6- p-cymene)Cl]Cl]4 (CRD13), based on an arene Ru(II) complex coordinated to imino-pyridine surface groups, has been conjugated with anti-cancer drugs. Ruthenium in the positively-charged dendrimer structure allows this nanoparticle to be considered as an anticancer drug carrier, made more efficient because ruthenium has anticancer properties. The ability of CRD13 to form complexes with Doxorubicin (DOX), 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu), and Methotrexate (MTX) has been evaluated using zeta potential measurement, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and computer simulation. The results show that it forms stable nanocomplexes with all those drugs, enhancing their effectiveness against MDA-MB-231 cancer cells. In vivo tests indicate that the CRD13/DOX system caused a decrease of tumor weight in mice with triple negative breast cancer. However, the tumors were most visibly reduced when naked dendrimers were injected.

Chitosan - dextran phosphate carbamate hydrogels for locally controlled co-delivery of doxorubicin and indomethacin: From computation study to in vivo pharmacokinetics. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 228:273-285. [PMID: 36581023 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.12.243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
The development of synergistic drug combinations is a promising strategy for effective cancer suppression. Here, we report all-polysaccharide biodegradable polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels (DPCS) based on dextran phosphate carbamate (DP) and chitosan (CS) for controlled co-delivery of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin (IND). IND can induce more apoptosis in tumor cells by reducing the level of multidrug resistance-associated protein 1. Based on calculations using density functional theory and zeta potential analysis data, carriers with high drug loading were obtained. The release profile of both drugs from the hydrogels was tuned by changing the molecular weight and functional groups content of the polysaccharides. The optimized DPCS showed a steady release of DOX both in vitro and in vivo, and a gradual release of IND, which constantly induced the action of DOX. Considering all of these benefits, DOX- and IND-loaded DPCS offer a promising long-acting polysaccharide-based antitumor platform.
