Cancer therapeutics development has been a challenge due to their untoward side effects and cytotoxicity. Phytochemical anti-cancer drugs have several advantages over chemical chemotherapeutic drugs as they are less cytotoxic and have a greater pharmacological advantage. However, lack of targeting ability limits the use of phytochemicals at a great extent for a successful therapeutic strategy. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have long been used to load the therapeutic cargo and provided significant advantages over conventional chemo-therapeutics. In this present study, we report the synthesis and testing of various biosynthesized AuNPs (b-AuNPs) using naturally derived phytochemicals (Curcumin: Cur, Turmeric: Tur, Quercetin: Qu and Paclitaxel: Pacli). The synthesized b-AuNPs have been well characterized by different Physicochemical techniques. Cytotoxic potential of these b-AuNPs were evaluated in different breast cancer cells either in an individual or in a combination forms. We have observed the maximum therapeutic activity in a combination of all four types of b-AuNPs (AuNPs-Cur, AuNPs-Tur, AuNPs-Qu and AuNPs-Pacli) as compared to their pristine administration. Further, mechanistic studies of these compounds revealed that, combinations of AuNPs-Cur, AuNPs-Tur, AuNPs-Qu and AuNPs-Pacli were significantly effective in inhibiting cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, colony formation and spheroid formation predicting a synergistic effect when compared to individual treatment against different breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB 231). Interestingly the nanoconjugates alone or in combinations did not show cytotoxicity towards human embryonic normal kidney cell line (HEK 293), demonstrating the biocompatibility. Together the results demonstrated the potential anti-cancer properties of b-AuNPs in a combinatorial approach that could be the future of cancer nanomedicine.
由于其不良反应和细胞毒性,癌症治疗药物的开发一直是一个挑战。植物化学抗癌药物与化学化疗药物相比具有许多优势,因为它们的细胞毒性较小,并且具有更大的药理优势。然而,缺乏靶向能力在很大程度上限制了植物化学物质在成功治疗策略中的应用。金纳米粒子(AuNPs)长期以来一直被用于负载治疗性货物,并提供了比传统化疗药物显著的优势。在本研究中,我们报告了使用天然衍生的植物化学物质(姜黄素:Cur,姜黄:Tur,槲皮素:Qu 和紫杉醇:Pacli)合成和测试各种生物合成的 AuNPs(b-AuNPs)。通过不同的物理化学技术对合成的 b-AuNPs 进行了很好的表征。在单独或组合形式下,评估了这些 b-AuNPs 在不同乳腺癌细胞中的细胞毒性潜力。与单独给药相比,我们观察到四种类型的 b-AuNPs(AuNPs-Cur、AuNPs-Tur、AuNPs-Qu 和 AuNPs-Pacli)的组合具有最大的治疗活性。此外,这些化合物的机制研究表明,与单独治疗相比,AuNPs-Cur、AuNPs-Tur、AuNPs-Qu 和 AuNPs-Pacli 的组合在抑制细胞增殖、凋亡、血管生成、集落形成和球体形成方面非常有效,预测对不同乳腺癌细胞系(MCF-7 和 MDA-MB 231)具有协同作用。有趣的是,纳米缀合物单独或组合使用时对人胚胎正常肾细胞系(HEK 293)没有细胞毒性,证明了其生物相容性。总之,这些结果表明 b-AuNPs 在组合方法中的潜在抗癌特性,这可能是癌症纳米医学的未来。
