A biocompatible poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer octa-substituted with α-cyclodextrin towards the controlled release of doxorubicin hydrochloride from its ferrocenyl prodrug

Abstract

Facile and efficient methods for the synthesis of the first poly(aminodamine) PAMAM G1.0 dendrimer octa-substituted with α-cyclodextrin and a novel ferrocenyl prodrug of doxorubicin hydrochloride are developed. This vector is non-toxic and can bind the designed ferrocenyl prodrug. It also shows a controlled drug release profile and high cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells (MCF-7), as elucidated by the in vitro biological studies performed with an innovative cell-on-a-chip microfluidic system.
