Photoresponsive hyaluronate nanogel as an anticancer drug carrier

In this study, we introduced photolabile 4‐(4‐(1‐hydroxyethyl)‐2‐methoxy‐5‐nitrophenoxy)butyric acid (HMNB) to prepare photoresponsive nanogels. Hyaluronate (HA) grafted with 4‐(4‐(1‐hydroxyethyl)‐2‐methoxy‐5‐nitrophenoxy)butyric acid (HA‐g‐HMNB) was self organized in aqueous solution. Interestingly...

Zusammenfassung:In this study, we introduced photolabile 4‐(4‐(1‐hydroxyethyl)‐2‐methoxy‐5‐nitrophenoxy)butyric acid (HMNB) to prepare photoresponsive nanogels. Hyaluronate (HA) grafted with 4‐(4‐(1‐hydroxyethyl)‐2‐methoxy‐5‐nitrophenoxy)butyric acid (HA‐g‐HMNB) was self organized in aqueous solution. Interestingly, HA‐g‐HMNB nanogels exhibited caging and photo‐uncaging properties for an encapsulated antitumor drug. Photoactivation allowed accelerated antitumor drug release from uncaged nanogels. We found a significant improvement in KB tumor‐cell‐killing efficacy when this system was associated with local light irradiation. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
