A series of polymer-drug conjugates based on 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) was prepared with the glioblastoma drug temozolomide (TMZ) as pendent groups. Random and block copolymers were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization using a TMZ-containing methacrylate monomer. The solution properties of the polyMPC-TMZ copolymers were investigated by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy, revealing well-defined nanostructures from the block copolymers. Conjugation of TMZ to polyMPC enhanced drug stability, with decomposition half-life values ranging from 2- to 19-times longer than that of free TMZ. The cytotoxicity of polyMPC-TMZ was evaluated in both chemosensitive (U87MG) and chemoresistant (T98G) glioblastoma cell lines. Furthermore, the polyMPC-TMZ platform was expanded considerably by the preparation of redox-sensitive polyMPC-TMZ copolymers utilizing disulfides as the polymer-to-drug linker.
一系列基于 2-(甲基丙烯酰氧)乙基磷酸胆碱(MPC)的聚合物-药物偶联物,用脑胶质瘤药物替莫唑胺(TMZ)作为侧基。通过可逆加成-断裂链转移(RAFT)聚合,使用含有 TMZ 的甲基丙烯酸酯单体合成了无规和嵌段共聚物。通过动态光散射和透射电子显微镜研究了聚 MPC-TMZ 共聚物的溶液性质,显示出嵌段共聚物具有良好的纳米结构。TMZ 与聚 MPC 的偶联增强了药物的稳定性,其分解半衰期值比游离 TMZ 长 2-19 倍。在对化疗敏感(U87MG)和耐药(T98G)脑胶质瘤细胞系中评估了聚 MPC-TMZ 的细胞毒性。此外,通过使用二硫键作为聚合物-药物连接物制备氧化还原敏感的聚 MPC-TMZ 共聚物,大大扩展了聚 MPC-TMZ 平台。
