Abstract
A herbal alkaloid Berberine (Ber), used for centuries in Ayurvedic, Chinese, Middle-Eastern, and native American folk medicines, is nowadays proved to function as a safe anticancer agent. Yet, its poor water solubility, stability, and bioavailability hinder clinical application. In this study, we have explored a nanosized carbon nanoparticle-C60 fullerene (C60)-for optimized Ber delivery into leukemic cells. Water dispersions of noncovalent C60-Ber nanocomplexes in the 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1 molar ratios were prepared. UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) evidenced a complexation of the Ber cation with the negatively charged C60 molecule. The computer simulation showed that π-stacking dominates in Ber and C60 binding in an aqueous solution. Complexation with C60 was found to promote Ber intracellular uptake. By increasing C60 concentration, the C60-Ber nanocomplexes exhibited higher antiproliferative potential towards CCRF-CEM cells, in accordance with the following order: free Ber < 1:2 < 1:1 < 2:1 (the most toxic). The activation of caspase 3/7 and accumulation in the sub-G1 phase of CCRF-CEM cells treated with C60-Ber nanocomplexes evidenced apoptosis induction. Thus, this study indicates that the fast and easy noncovalent complexation of alkaloid Ber with C60 improved its in vitro efficiency against cancer cells.

Abstract
Cisplatin (Cis-Pt) is the cytotoxic agent widely used against tumors of various origin, but its therapeutic efficiency is substantially limited by a non-selective effect and high toxicity. Conjugation of Cis-Pt with nanocarriers is thought to be one option to enable drug targeting. The aim of this study was to estimate toxic effects of the nanocomplex formed by noncovalent interaction of C60 fullerene with Cis-Pt against Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells in comparison with free drug. Scanning tunneling microscopy showed that the minimum size of C60-Cis-Pt nanoparticles in aqueous colloid solution was 1.1 nm whereas that of C60 fullerene was 0.72 nm, thus confirming formation of the nanocomplex. The cytotoxic effect of C60-Cis-Pt nanocomplex against LLC cells was shown to be higher with IC50 values 3.3 and 4.5 times lower at 48 h and 72 h, respectively, as compared to the free drug. 12.5 µM Cis-Pt had no effect on LLC cell viability and morphology while C60-Cis-Pt nanocomplex in Cis-Pt-equivalent concentration substantially decreased the cell viability, impaired their shape and adhesion, inhibited migration and induced accumulation in proapoptotic subG1 phase. Apoptosis induced by the C60-Cis-Pt nanocomplex was confirmed by caspase 3/7 activation and externalization of phosphatidylserine on the outer surface of LLC cells with the double Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. We assume that C60 fullerene as a component of the C60-Cis-Pt nanocomplex promoted Cis-Pt entry and intracellular accumulation thus contributing to intensification of the drug's toxic effect against lung cancer cells.
