The synthesis of polymer-drug conjugate (PDC) capable of convenient preparation and controlled release of therapeutic agents is still an urgent requirement in drug delivery field. Herein, we develop a novel anti-cancer PDC engineered with side groups of disulfide and ester bonds for on-demand delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) with redox and pH dual sensitive behaviors. A simple polymer, 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid functionalized poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(l-lysine) (mPEG-b-P(LL-DTPA)), was synthesized and PTX was directly conjugated to the carboxyl groups of mPEG-b-P(LL-DTPA) to obtain the disulfide-containing polymer-PTX conjugate (P(L-SS-PTX)). Another structural similar polymer-PTX conjugate without disulfide bonds (P(L-PTX)) was also prepared to verify the function of disulfide linkages. The P(L-SS-PTX) micelles showed rapid drug release under tumor-relevant reductive conditions as designed. Interestingly, the PTX release from P(L-SS-PTX) micelles could also be promoted by the increased acidity (pH ≈ 5). In vitro cytotoxicity study showed that the P(L-SS-PTX) micelles exhibited significantly enhanced cytotoxicity against a variety of tumor cells compared to the non-sensitive P(L-PTX) micelles. The in vivo studies on B16F1 melanoma bearing C57BL/6 mice demonstrated the superior antitumor activity of P(L-SS-PTX) over both free PTX and P(L-PTX). This dual-sensitive prodrug provides a useful strategy for anti-tumor drug delivery.
具有方便制备和控制治疗剂释放能力的聚合物-药物偶联物(PDC)的合成仍然是药物输送领域的迫切需求。在此,我们开发了一种新型抗癌 PDC,其侧基具有二硫键和酯键,用于具有氧化还原和 pH 双重敏感行为的紫杉醇(PTX)的按需递送。一种简单的聚合物,3,3'-二硫代二丙酸功能化聚乙二醇-b-聚(L-赖氨酸)(mPEG-b-P(LL-DTPA))被合成,并且 PTX 直接与 mPEG-b-P(LL-DTPA)的羧基缀合以获得含有二硫键的聚合物-PTX 缀合物(P(L-SS-PTX))。还制备了另一种结构相似的不含二硫键的聚合物-PTX 缀合物(P(L-PTX))以验证二硫键的功能。设计的 P(L-SS-PTX)胶束在肿瘤相关的还原条件下表现出快速药物释放。有趣的是,PTX 从 P(L-SS-PTX)胶束的释放也可以被酸度增加(pH ≈ 5)促进。体外细胞毒性研究表明,与非敏感 P(L-PTX)胶束相比,P(L-SS-PTX)胶束对各种肿瘤细胞表现出显著增强的细胞毒性。在 C57BL/6 小鼠携带 B16F1 黑色素瘤的体内研究表明,P(L-SS-PTX)的抗肿瘤活性优于游离 PTX 和 P(L-PTX)。这种双重敏感前药为抗肿瘤药物输送提供了一种有用的策略。
