Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to design multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) loaded with paclitaxel (PTX) anti-cancer drug and investigate its anti-cancerous efficacy of human gastric cancer. The sidewall surfaces of pristine MWCNTs are highly hydrophobic. A major goal in carbon nanotube chemistry has been functionalization for aqueous solubility, and exploiting nano-tubes as macromolecules for chemistry, biology, and medicine application. This work establishes a novel, easy to-make formulation of a MWCNT– paclitaxel complex with high drug loading efficiency. Therefore, new opportunities in medicine develop novel effective tumor drug delivery systems.
Background: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) represent a novel nano-materials applied in various fields such as drug delivery due to their unique chemical properties and high drug loading.
Patients and methods: In this study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) pre-functionalized covalently with a paclitaxel (PTX) as an anti-cancer drug and evaluated by different analyses including, scanning electron microscope (SEM), particle size analyzer and cellular analyses.
Results: A well conjugated of anti-cancer drug on the carbon nanotube surfaces was shown. This study demonstrates that the MWCN-PTX complex is a potentially useful system for delivery of anti-cancer drugs. The flow cytometry, CFU and MTT assay results have disclosed that MWCNT/PTXs might promote apoptosis in MKN-45 gastric adenocarcinoma cell line.
Conclusion: According to results, our simple method can be designed a candidate material for chemotherapy. It has presented a few bio-related applications including, their successful use as a nano-carriers for drug transport.
- Multi-walled carbon nanotubes
- Paclitaxel
- Structural investigations
- Gastric cancer
- MKN-45 cell line.
