Zusammenfassung: | Developing chemotherapy with nanoparticle-based prodrugs provides promising strategies for improving the safety and delivery of anti-cancer drugs therapeutics and effective cancer treatment. Herein, we developed a pH-sensitive prodrug delivery system (All-Trans-Retinoic Acid (ATRA) grafted poly (β-amino esters) (PBAE) copolymers, ATRA-g-PBAE) for delivery of ATRA with some physicochemical and biological properties. The in vitro release of ATRA-g-PBAE prodrug nanoparticles (PNPs) was sustained-release and pH-sensitive. The cytotoxicity and uptake of different preparations in vitro were evaluated on MCF-7 cells at pH 7.4 and 5.5. The carrier PBAE had no cytotoxicity, and ATRA-g-PBAE PNPs could significantly inhibit cell growth at pH 5.5. MCF-7 cells treated with Cy5.5 grafted PBAE (Cy5.5-PBAE) showed stronger fluorescence signals at pH 5.5. Meanwhile, ATRA-g-PBAE PNPs entered the cell via a clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway. Subsequently, PBAE protonation facilitated the escape of PNPs from the lysosome and released the drug. ATRA-g-PBAE seems promising as a novel pH-sensitive prodrug to overcome the limitations of ATRA for breast cancer therapy.
