Self-assembled coumarin- and 5-fluorouracil-PEG micelles as multifunctional drug delivery systems

The copper(I)-catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition is recognized as one of the most successful click reactions to access self-assembling amphiphilic polymer-drug conjugates (PDCs). In this way, poor water-soluble drugs can be linked covalently to hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to obtain PEG...

description The copper(I)-catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition is recognized as one of the most successful click reactions to access self-assembling amphiphilic polymer-drug conjugates (PDCs). In this way, poor water-soluble drugs can be linked covalently to hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to obtain PEGylated drug micelles that can be used as versatile carriers for the delivery of diverse therapeutic agents. In this work, two novel amphiphilic PDCs that combine PEG with privileged scaffolds well-known for their anticancer properties, such as coumarin and 5-fluorouracil, have been synthesized and characterized. These conjugates were able to self-assemble into micelles at relatively high critical micellar concentration, probably due to the large portion of hydrophilic PEG. The micelles allowed to load other anticancer drugs (paclitaxel, curcumin, and gemcitabine), providing a unique opportunity to develop promising co-delivery carriers for synergistic cancer therapy. The Korsmeyer-Peppas mathematical model was used for describing the in vitro kinetics of drug release from the micelles. Similar sustained and controlled drug release profiles were obtained for paclitaxel and curcumin in both conjugates, which was attributed to the excellent stability driven by the strong interaction between polymeric conjugates and drugs in the micelle core. In contrast, the high instability observed for the gemcitabine-loaded micelles provided an initial uncontrolled burst release of drug. A preliminary in vitro cytotoxicity study of the micelles against human pancreatic cancer cells PANC-1 and BxPC-3 was also carried out, demonstrating that both coumarin and 5-fluorouracil retain their anticancer properties after conjugation with PEG.

De esta manera, los fármacos poco solubles en agua se pueden unir covalentemente al poli(etilenglicol) (PEG) hidrofílico para obtener micelas de fármacos PEGilados que se pueden utilizar como vehículos versátiles para la administración de diversos agentes terapéuticos. En este trabajo, dos PDC anfifílicos novedosos que combinan PEG con andamios privilegiados conocidos por sus propiedades anticancerígenas, como la cumarina .y 5-fluorouracilo, han sido sintetizados y caracterizados. Estos conjugados pudieron autoensamblarse en micelas a una concentración micelar crítica relativamente alta, probablemente debido a la gran porción de PEG hidrofílico. Las micelas permitieron cargar otros medicamentos contra el cáncer (paclitaxel, curcumina y gemcitabina), lo que brinda una oportunidad única para desarrollar portadores de administración conjunta prometedores para la terapia sinérgica contra el cáncer. Se utilizó el modelo matemático de Korsmeyer-Peppas para describir la cinética in vitro de la liberación del fármaco desde las micelas. Se obtuvieron perfiles similares de liberación sostenida y controlada del fármaco para paclitaxel.y curcumina en ambos conjugados, lo que se atribuyó a la excelente estabilidad impulsada por la fuerte interacción entre los conjugados poliméricos y los fármacos en el núcleo de la micela. Por el contrario, la alta inestabilidad observada para las micelas cargadas con gemcitabina proporcionó una liberación inicial descontrolada del fármaco. También se llevó a cabo un estudio preliminar de citotoxicidad in vitro de las micelas contra las células de cáncer de páncreas humano PANC-1 y BxPC-3, demostrando que tanto la cumarina como el 5-fluorouracilo conservan sus propiedades anticancerígenas después de la conjugación con PEG.Elsevier202220222022info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10578/30260reponame:RUIdeRA.
