A novel drug delivery system based on myristoylated ECGKRK peptide-decorated dextran was successfully synthesized in this study, showing the ability to self-assemble into nanoparticles and potential non-toxicity in various cancer cell lines.
CGKRK is a well-known tumor homing peptide with significant specificity for many types of cancer tissues. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a novel drug delivery system based on dextran decorated with myristoylECGKRK peptide. The myristoylated peptide was synthesized and conjugated to dextran via an ester bond followed by purification. FT-IR and NMR confirmed the success of the conjugation reaction, while the surface morphology examination revealed that the conjugate has a characteristic porous network-like structure. Dynamic-light scattering measurements indicated the ability of the conjugate to self-assemble into nanoparticles with an average size of 248 +/- 6.33 nm, and zeta potential of 10.7 mV. The cytotoxicity profiles for the peptide, dextran (Dex0), and dextran-peptide conjugate (Dex1) were evaluated against triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), breast cancer cells (MCF-7), and human embryonic normal kidney cells (HEK-293). The results revealed that myristoyl-ECGKRK was noncytotoxic on the two different breast cancer cell lines up to 50 mu M, but the cell viability was minimally reduced to 85% at 50 mu m in HEK-293 cells. Similarly, Dex0 showed a neglected cytotoxicity profile at all tested concentrations. The Dex1 was not toxic to the cells up to a concentration of 8.3 mg/mL.
