Abstract
Grafted copolymers of chitosan–vinylpyrrolidone, water-soluble at a pH of 6.8–7.5, were obtained. A technique has been developed for obtaining an aggregatively stable system of platinum nanoparticles in copolymer solutions with an average size of ~4 nm. The thermophysical and structural characteristics of the powdered composition of a platinum nanoparticle-copolymer are investigated. An in vitro comparison of the antitumor activity of solutions of the developed composition and cisplatin at the same platinum concentration was performed. It was found that with respect to the culture of HeLa Kyoto and A431 cancer cells, the composition is five and two times less effective than cisplatin, respectively. Along with this, the biocompatibility of the composition is 17 times higher than that of cisplatin, which allows its use at elevated concentrations and the development of an antitumor agent with platinum nanoparticles commensurate in effectiveness with cisplatin.
期刊介绍:
Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original articles on biochemistry and microbiology that have or may have practical applications. The studies include: enzymes and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions, biosynthesis of low and high molecular physiologically active compounds; the studies of their structure and properties; biogenesis and pathways of their regulation; metabolism of producers of biologically active compounds, biocatalysis in organic synthesis, applied genetics of microorganisms, applied enzymology; protein and metabolic engineering, biochemical bases of phytoimmunity, applied aspects of biochemical and immunochemical analysis; biodegradation of xenobiotics; biosensors; biomedical research (without clinical studies). Along with experimental works, the journal publishes descriptions of novel research techniques and reviews on selected topics.
