ABSTRACT

Testing a number of N-[omega-(purin-6-yl)aminoalkanoyl] derivatives of 7,8-difluoro-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-[1,4]benzoxazine in a panel of nine tumor cell lines has shown that the studied compounds exhibit high cytotoxic activity, especially against 4T1 murine mammary carcinoma, COLO201 human colorectal adenocarcinoma, SNU-1 human gastric carcinoma, and HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Synthesis and study of structural analogs of these compounds made it possible to find that the presence of both a difluorobenzoxazine fragment and a purine residue bound via a linker of a certain length is crucial for the manifestation of the cytotoxic activity of this group of compounds. The study of the effect of the most promising compound on the cell cycle of the human tumor cell lines, the most sensitive and least sensitive to cytotoxic action (MDA-MB-231 breast adenocarcinoma and COLO201 colorectal adenocarcinoma, respectively), allows us to conclude that this compound is an inhibitor of DNA biosynthesis. The found group of purine conjugates may be of interest in the design of new antitumor agents.

ABSTRACT

The architecture of a nanoparticles' surface formed due to a modification with a ligand and protein corona formation in biofluids is critical for interactions with cells in vivo. Here we studied interactions of immune cells with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) covalently modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and their counterparts conjugated with peptides: a pH (low) insertion peptide (pHLIP) and cycloRGD as a targeting ligand in human serum. The conjugation of MNPs-PEG with pHLIP, but not with cycloRGD, enhanced the association of these particles with mononuclear phagocytic cells in vitro and in vivo. We did not find a clear difference in protein corona composition between the pHLIP-modified and parental PEGylated nanoparticles. Analysis of the effect of autologous human serum on MNP uptake by monocytes showed that the efficiency of endocytosis varies among healthy donors and depends on intrinsic properties of serum. Nevertheless, using classic blood, coagulation, biochemical tests, and anti-PEG IgG serum level, we failed to identify the cause of the observed interdonor variation. These individual differences should be taken into consideration during testing of nanotherapeutics.
