Popis: | In this study, we report for the first time the successful immobilization of a known cytoactive [Ru(η6-arene)(C2O4)PTA] (RAPTA) complex to a biologically inert polyacrylamide nanoparticle support. The nanoparticles have been characterised by zetasizer analysis, UV-Vis, ATR-FT-IR, TGA, and ICP-MS to qualitatively and quantitatively confirm the presence of the metallodrug on the surface of the carrier. The native RAPTA complex required a concentration of 50 µM to produce a cell viability of 47.1 ± 2.1% when incubated with human Caucasian colorectal adenocarcinoma cells for 72 hr. Under similar conditions a cell viability of 45.1 ± 1.9% was obtained with 0.5 µM of RAPTA complex in its immobilized form. Therefore, conjugation of the RAPTA metallodrug to our nanoparticle carriers resulted in a significant 100-fold decrease in effective concentration of ruthenium required for a near identical biological effect on cell viability. |
