Structure of the Conjugated Linoleic Acid-Paclitaxel Conjugate Self-Assembled Nanoparticles / 中国药学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To prepare, the conjugated linoleic acid-paclitaxel conjugate self-assembled nanoparticles (CLA-PTX NPs) by nanoprecipitation. METHODS: The Dynamic light scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, raman spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nitrogen element distribution of CLA-PTX NPs were studied. RESULTS: The hydroxyl groups (C-4 and C-10 of PTX) and the acetyl groups (C-1 and C-7 of PTX) were on the surface of CLA-PTX NPs, CLA carbon chain, the benzene ring (C-2 and C-3' of PTX) and the amide bond (C-3' of PTX) were inside the CLA-PTX NPs. CONCLUSION: It is speculated that the self-assembly of CLA-PTX is that the non-polar CLA carbon chain spontaneously aggregates inward due to hydrophobic interaction, and the hydrophilic oxygen-containing groups of PTX (hydroxyl group and carbonyl group) are on the surface of the nanoparticle to form nanoparticles.
