We show for the first time how polymeric nanotubes (NTs) based on self-assembled conjugates of polymers and cyclic peptides can be used as an efficient drug carrier. RAPTA-C, a ruthenium-based anticancer drug, was conjugated to a statistical co-polymer based on poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) (pHEA) and poly(2-chloroethyl methacrylate) (pCEMA), which formed the shell of the NTs. Self-assembly into nanotubes (length 200-500 nm) led to structures exhibiting high activity against cancer cells.
我们首次展示了基于聚合物与环肽自组装共轭物的聚合物纳米管(NTs)如何用作高效药物载体。抗癌钌基药物RAPTA-C与基于聚(丙烯酸2-羟乙酯)(pHEA)和聚(甲基丙烯酸2-氯乙酯)(pCEMA)的统计共聚物共轭,该共聚物形成了纳米管的外壳。自组装成纳米管(长度为200 - 500纳米)后形成的结构对癌细胞表现出高活性。
