Reducing the cytotoxity of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers by modification of a single layer of carboxybetaine

The surface primary amines of generation five poly(amido amine) (G5 PAMAM) dendrimer were modified by different amounts of carboxybetaine acrylamide (CBAA). As a result, the fully modified molecules (CBAA-PAMAM-20, obtained from the 20:1 molar ratio of CBAA molecules to amino groups in modification...

Zusammenfassung:The surface primary amines of generation five poly(amido amine) (G5 PAMAM) dendrimer were modified by different amounts of carboxybetaine acrylamide (CBAA). As a result, the fully modified molecules (CBAA-PAMAM-20, obtained from the 20:1 molar ratio of CBAA molecules to amino groups in modification solution) show excellent compatibility with protein and cells. CBAA-PAMAM-20 and fibrinogen (Fg) could coexist in solution without forming aggregation, indicating very weak interaction force between CBAA-PAMAM-20 and fibrinogen. CBAA-PAMAM-20 exhibits almost undetectable hemolytic activity, while other partially modified ones cause severe hemolysis and fibrinogen aggregation. Furthermore, the membrane of human umbilical vascular endothelial cell (HUVEC) remains intact after 24 h incubation with CBAA-PAMAM-20. The cytotoxicity assay of HUVEC cells and KB cells also showed that the CBAA-PAMAM-20 was not cytotoxic up to a 2 mg/mL concentration (>90% cell viability). In short, a thin compact layer of zwitterionic carboxybetaine could reduce the cytotoxicity of PAMAM through minimizing the interaction with protein and cell membranes, which suggest that the carboxybetaine-coated PAMAM could be a useful platform for biocompatible carriers to load contrast agents and drugs
