Popis: | Nanoscale design and construction of affinity-based drug delivery systems (ADDS) is an active research area with enormous potential for the improvement of cancer treatment. For the therapeutic load of these ADDS, a promising strategy is the design of pH-sensitive prodrugs based on the construction of conjugates between adamantane and doxorubicin (Ad-Dox), which stands out as an excellent model system to obtain novel supramolecular materials. Construction of these prodrugs involves a modification of three zones of doxorubicin which in principle does not affect the action mechanism: the carbonyl group C13 (hydrazone linker), the primary alcohol neighboring the carbonyl (ester linker) and the 3' amino group of daunosamine sugar (amide linker). These modifications are aimed to improve the efficacy and reduce the systemic toxicity of the drug chemotherapy by controlling its release in cancer cells. In this work, we performed 2D NMR experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the conformational changes of three constructed prodrugs. Our results demonstrated that ring A and the daunsamine sugar of the hydrazone and amide linkers conserve the half-chair state 9H8, while the ester linker disrupts this conformation. Our study also showed that the hydrazone-linked compound (Ad-h-Dox) does not modify the conformation of the original drug and maintains cytotoxic activity. Moreover, the inclusion complex (IC) of Ad-h-Dox with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) generated a highly soluble platform in water, whereas the ester-linked compound (Ad-e-Dox) causes the loss of biological activity. This study proves that Ad-h-Dox prodrug can be an optimum prodrug and act as a building block for a more complex drug transport system. |
