The combination therapy which has been proposed as the strategy for the cancer treatment could achieve a synergistic effect for cancer therapies and reduce the dosage of the applied drugs. On account of the the unique properties as the high absorbed water content, biocompatibility, and flexibility, the targeting nanogels have been considred as a suitable platform. Herein, a non-toxic pH/thermo-responsive hydrogel P(NIPAAm-co-DMAEMA) was synthesized and characterized through the free-radical polymerization and expanded upon an easy process for the preparation of the smart responsive nanogels; that is, the nanogels were used for the efficient and controlled delivery of the anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and chemosensitizer curcumin (CUR) simultaneously like a promising strategy for the cancer treatment. The size of the nanogels, which were made, was about 70 nm which is relatively optimal for the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effects. The DOX and CUR co-loaded nanocarriers were prepared by the high encapsulation efficiency (EE). It is important to mention that the controlled drug release behavior of the nanocarriers was also investigated. An enhanced ability of DOX and CUR-loaded nanoformulation to induce the cell apoptosis in the HT-29 colon cancer cells which represented the greater antitumor efficacy than the single-drug formulations or free drugs was resulted through the In vitro cytotoxicity. Overall, according to the data, the simultaneous delivery of the dual drugs through the fabricated nanogels could synergistically potentiate the antitumor effects on the colon cancer (CC).
联合治疗策略已被提议作为癌症治疗的策略,可实现癌症治疗的协同效应,并减少应用药物的剂量。由于靶向纳米凝胶具有高含水量、生物相容性和灵活性等独特性质,因此被认为是一种合适的平台。在此,通过自由基聚合合成并表征了一种无毒的 pH/热响应水凝胶 P(NIPAAm-co-DMAEMA),并通过简单的过程扩展了智能响应纳米凝胶的制备;即纳米凝胶可用于高效和控制递抗癌药物阿霉素(DOX)和化疗增敏剂姜黄素(CUR),这是一种有前途的癌症治疗策略。所制备的纳米凝胶的尺寸约为 70nm,这对于增强通透性和保留(EPR)效应相对最佳。通过高包封效率(EE)制备了 DOX 和 CUR 共载纳米载体。值得一提的是,还研究了纳米载体的控制药物释放行为。通过体外细胞毒性研究,负载 DOX 和 CUR 的纳米制剂在 HT-29 结肠癌细胞中诱导细胞凋亡的能力增强,比单一药物制剂或游离药物具有更大的抗肿瘤功效。总的来说,根据这些数据,通过所构建的纳米凝胶同时递送两种药物可以协同增强对结肠癌(CC)的抗肿瘤作用。
