Polymeric carriers for drug delivery system: Comparison study of effects of chitosan derivative and 1st tier dendrimer on Methotrexate release

Reena Tondwal and Man Singh

Abstract

A comparative study of chitosan derivative with methionine (CM) and trimesoyl 1, 3, 5-tridipropyl malonate ester (TTDPM) as drug delivery vehicle encapsulated with the model drug ( Methotrexate: MTX) individually, for breast cancer drug delivery system. MTX-TTDPM and MTX-CM were prepared using a 1 : 1 ratio of MTX, TTDPM and MTX, CM in acetone and ionotropic gelation medium at RT followed by 24 and 3 h respectively. MTX interact with TTDPM and CM by hydrogen bonding confirmed through FTIR and further characterized by SEM, HR-TEM and DLS for their morphological and narrow particle size distribution respectively. TTDPM and CM has functionality which assistances to bind MTX anticancer drugs for their imminent use in breast cancer drug delivery system. Effects of TTDPM, CM and their   complexes with MTX were studied for MTX release in phosphate buffer saline (pH 7.4) + 10% DMSO and phosphate buffer saline (pH 7.4) respectively.                 H3C         CH3   H2C H2C                          CH2   CH2   O                O C C O CH O O C H C         CH3   OH H2C O   OH H2C O O   OH H2C O O HO   3 CH2 O H2C O   H2C O H2C   HO                                HO   RT, 24 h O O OH NH2 N H N O N                             N   N N NH2                              NH                                  NH     C     C                  C C O   O     C           n            O    C   CH   O      O     CH   C O O CH2 H2C H3C   O C O CH2 CH2 CH3   HC NH2 H2C CH2 S CH3   OH   CH3   Dendrimer (TTDPM)     H3C         H2N       MTX   Chitosan Derivative (CM)   H2C   CH3 Interaction Electrostatic Interaction CH       N NH2   H2C O   2 CH2 O     O OH OH       OH                                 OH                                 OH   H2N N N N N     OO HN OH   C              C                                              O HC                                                            N          O O                         O                                              H C                      HHN   N   N   H2C   HO   H2C O O HO   H2C O                                    O O HO   OH O   N N N   NH2                              NH                                  NH   O   H C H C   H2N     CH2   CH3   O    C                            O    C OH                    HC                                    CH   3              2   H C                  O   O                         CH2   OH                                          NH2                            3   2 O C              C HC               O   O C                HC O               HC     O OH OH   O              O O NH   H2C     CH2   OH   OH O              O   C O HO OH O                             OH HN O CH                        O   O                                                      NH O CH   O H2N N N N       N         O  N H2N   N N N  N H N     S CH3 H2N N   O NH   N   N   2                                                    CH2 N H N   2                                                               N N   H2C H3C   N   N   N N N NH2 H2N   2 H2C CH3   H2N   MTX-Dendrimer Complex   MTX-Chitosan Derivative
