چکیده

objective: generation 5 poly (amidoamine) dendrimers are promising multipotent gene delivery vectors that provide favorable dna condensation properties; however, their high toxicity limits their applications. toxicity of pamam dendrimers depends on their type, generation and applied dosage in a way that lower generations (lower than g5 dendrimers) and anionic dendrimers have lower toxicity than higher generations and cationic dendrimers. the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of pegylation on toxicity of g5 pamam dendrimers. methods: in this study, to improve their characteristics as gene delivery carriers, g5 pamam dendrimers were conjugated to polyethylene glycol molecules (peg, molecular weight 3500) at three different molar ratios of 10, 20 and 30. also the number of conjugated peg chains was quantified using tnbsa and ellman assays. the effect of different degrees of pegylation on cytotoxicity and transfection efficiency of modified pamam dendrimers toward bt-474 and mcf-10a cell lines were assessed. results: compared to unconjugated, peg conjugated pamam dendrimers had lower in vitro cytotoxicity, particularly at higher peg to pamam molar ratios. among all prepared peg-pamam dendrimers, g5 pamam dendrimers that conjugated to peg at a molar ratio of 10/1 had the highest in vitro transfection rate in both cell lines. conclusion: our results showed that these peg-conjugated pamam dendrimers possess a great potential for in vitro gene delivery.

Arginine–glycine–aspartic acid–polyethylene glycol–polyamidoamine dendrimer conjugate improves liver-cell aggregation and function in 3-D spheroid culture

The polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer, a type of macromolecule material, has been used in spheroidal cell culture and drug delivery in recent years. However, PAMAM is not involved in the study of hepatic cell-spheroid culture or its biological activity, particularly in detoxification function. Here, we constructed a PAMAM-dendrimer conjugate decorated by an integrin ligand: arginine-glycine-aspa...

Chemical modification of Vibrio vulnificus metalloprotease with activated polyethylene glycol.

Vibrio vulnificus, an opportunistic human pathogen causing septicemia, produces a metalloprotease which is suspected to be a virulence determinant, but which is labile in vivo due to inactivation by alpha-macroglobulin. To obtain a derivative which is stable in vivo, the metalloprotease was modified with activated monomethoxy polyethylene glycol. The modified protease retained full activity to ...

Comparison of generation 3 polyamidoamine dendrimer and generation 4 polypropylenimine dendrimer on drug loading, complex structure, release behavior, and cytotoxicity

BACKGROUND Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) and polypropylenimine (PPI) dendrimers are the commercially available and most widely used dendrimers in pharmaceutical sciences and biomedical engineering. In the present study, the loading and release behaviors of generation 3 PAMAM and generation 4 PPI dendrimers with the same amount of surface amine groups (32 per dendrimer) were compared using phenylbutazo...

Effect of Polyethylene Glycol Modification of TiO2 Nanoparticles on Cytotoxicity and Gene Expressions in Human Cell Lines

Nanoparticles (NPs) are tiny materials used in a wide range of industrial and medical applications. Titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) is a type of nanoparticle that is widely used in paints, pigments, and cosmetics; however, little is known about the impact of TiO(2) on human health and the environment. Therefore, considerable research has focused on characterizing the potential toxicity of nanoparticl...

Complement activation on degraded polyethylene glycol-covered surface.

Surface modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been employed in the development of biomaterials to reduce unfavorable reactions. However, unanticipated body reactions have been reported, with activation of the complement system being suggested as having involvement in these responses. In this study, we prepared a PEG-modified surface on a gold surface using a monolayer of alpha-mercapt...
