We report a drug delivery system based on the covalently reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with p-aminobenzoic acid (rGO-C6H4-COOH) for the loading and targeted delivery of the anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX). The colloidal solution of rGO-C6H4-COOH conjugated by polyethyleneimine (PEI) and Biotin was prepared. This endows the colloidal solution of rGO-C6H4-CO-NH-PEI-NH-CO-Biotin, which presents excellent water-solubility and targeting as a drug delivery system. β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) molecules, which are host molecules for accommodating guest molecules, such as water insoluble anticancer drugs, were introduced to reduce the cytotoxicity of the drug delivery system and to improve the biocompatibility. The drug delivery of rGO-C6H4-CO-NH-PEI-NH-CO-CD-Biotin has a â¼24.64% drug (DOX) loading ratio. The drug release behavior was pH dependent at higher DOX concentrations, but salt dependent at lower DOX concentrations, which could be exploited for controlled drug release in cancer cells. The DOX loaded on rGO-C6H4-CO-NH-PEI-NH-CO-CD-Biotin could effectively induce HepG2 cancer cell apoptosis. This can be explained by the conjugation of DOX and rGO-C6H4-CO-NH-PEI-NH-CO-CD-Biotin being able to arrest the cancer cells in the G2 phase, which is the most sensitive to the anticancer drug.
我们报告了一种基于对氨基苯甲酸共价还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)(rGO-C6H4-COOH)的给药系统,用于负载和靶向输送抗癌药物多柔比星(DOX)。制备了由聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)和生物素共轭的 rGO-C6H4-COOH 胶体溶液。这种rGO-C6H4-CO-NH-PEI-NH-CO-生物素胶体溶液具有优异的水溶性和靶向性,可作为一种药物输送系统。δ-环糊精(δ-CD)分子是容纳客体分子(如水不溶性抗癌药物)的宿主分子,它的引入降低了给药系统的细胞毒性,提高了生物相容性。rGO-C6H4-CO-NH-PEI-NH-CO-CD-生物素的药物释放率为±24.64%。在较高的DOX浓度下,药物释放行为与pH值有关,而在较低的DOX浓度下,药物释放行为与盐有关。负载在 rGO-C6H4-CO-NH-PEI-NH-CO-CD-Biotin 上的 DOX 能有效诱导 HepG2 癌细胞凋亡。这是因为 DOX 与 rGO-C6H4-CO-NH-PEI-NH-CO-CD-Biotin 的共轭作用能够使癌细胞停滞在对抗癌药物最敏感的 G2 期。
