In this study, a nanocarrier was prepared for the codelivery of a hydrophilic drug (doxorubicin) and a hydrophobic drug (curcumin) to cancer cells. In this nanocarrier, the edges of graphene oxide sheets were decorated with a magnetic-functionalized polyamidoamine dendrimer with hydrazone groups at the end of the polymer. The edge functionalization of graphene sheets not only improved the solubility and dispersibility of graphene sheets but also imparted the magnetic properties to the nanocarrier. The resulting nanocarrier was loaded with doxorubicin through the covalent linkage and curcumin through π-π stacking. The nanocarrier showed a pH-sensitive release for both drugs, and the drug release behavior was also improved by the coimmobilization of both drugs. The cytotoxicity assay of nanocarrier showed low toxicity toward MCF-7 cell compared to unmodified graphene oxide, which was attributed to the presence of a magnetic dendrimer. Besides, the drug-loaded nanocarrier was highly toxic for cells even more than for free drugs. The cellular uptake images revealed higher drug internalization for coloaded nanocarrier than for the nanocarrier loaded with one drug alone. All of the results showed that the codelivery of curcumin and doxorubicin in the presence of the nanocarrier was more effective in chemotherapy than the nanocarrier loaded with one drug.
在这项研究中,制备了一种纳米载体用于将亲水性药物(阿霉素)和疏水性药物(姜黄素)共递送至癌细胞。在这种纳米载体中,氧化石墨烯片的边缘用末端带有腙基团的磁性功能化聚酰胺-胺树枝状聚合物进行了修饰。石墨烯片的边缘功能化不仅提高了石墨烯片的溶解度和分散性,而且赋予了纳米载体磁性。所得纳米载体通过共价键连接负载阿霉素,并通过π-π 堆积负载姜黄素。纳米载体对两种药物均表现出 pH 敏感释放,并且两种药物的共固定化也改善了药物释放行为。纳米载体的细胞毒性试验表明,与未修饰的氧化石墨烯相比,其对 MCF-7 细胞的毒性较低,这归因于磁性树枝状聚合物的存在。此外,载药纳米载体对细胞的毒性甚至比游离药物更高。细胞摄取图像显示,共载药纳米载体的药物内化程度高于单独载药的纳米载体。所有结果表明,在纳米载体存在的情况下共递送姜黄素和阿霉素在化疗方面比单独载药的纳米载体更有效。
