Conventional methods of chemotherapy requires novel therapy systems due to serious side effects and inefficiency of drug administration. In recent years many studies are carried out to improve drug delivery systems. Polymers are one of the most important elements for drug delivery research due to their versatility. By the discovery of dendritic polymers, drug delivery studies gained a new vision. Highly branched monodisperse structure, multiple sites of attachment, well-defined size and controllable physical and chemical properties make them efficient drug delivery systems. In this research hyperbranched dendritic polymers were sythesized and characterized for hydrophobic drug delivery. Dipentaerythritol which was used as core molecule, esterified with dimethylol propionic acid. Ricinoleic acid was esterified with the end groups of dimethylol propionic acid and hyperbranched resin (HBR) was formed. By considering the properties of HBR, hydrophobic tamoxifen and idarubicin were used for drug delivery study. The most efficient loading was determined as 73% for tamoxifen and 74% for idarubicin. Drug-HBR interactions and changes in properties of HBR were determined by FTIR, zeta potential and particle size measurements. FTIR results indicated that idarubicin chemically interacted with HBR while tamoxifen physically loaded to HBR. Drug delivery profile of HBR was studied in the absence and presence of lipase from Pseudomonas sp. and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Results revelaed that lipase and SDS increased the release rate of tamoxifen while idarubicin release rate was not affected. The effect of lipase was also tested for the degradation of HBR and it was indicated that lipase sustain a faster degradation. Finally toxicity of HBR and drug loaded HBR on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line was determined with XTT proliferation assay. Empty HBR did not cause significant toxicity on MCF-7 cells while drug loaded HBR was more toxic than free drug. By this study the efficiency of novel synthesized hyperbranched polymer in drug delivery was shown.

Surface functionalization of SBA - 15 particles for amoxicillin delivery
Sevimli, Filiz F; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Department of Chemistry (2011)
There are several studies in order to control drug delivery, decrease the toxicity of drugs and also for novel biomedical applications. It is necessary to be able to control the release of the drug within the body by using drug delivery systems. Mesoporous silica compounds have only been discovered twenty years ago and they have already attracted many researchers to study these materials for several applications. SBA-15 particles have a highly ordered regular structure and are a good matrix for guest-host a...
Synthesis of Doxorubicin loaded magnetic chitosan nanoparticles for pH responsive targeted drug delivery
ÜNSOY, GÖZDE; Khodadust, Rouhollah; Yalcin, Serap; Mutlu, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk (2014-10-01)
Targeted drug delivery is a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of classical chemotherapy. In an ideal targeted drug delivery system carrier nanoparticles would be directed to the tumor tissue and selectively release therapeutic molecules. As a novel approach, chitosan coated magnetic nanoparticles (CS MNPs) maintain a pH dependent drug delivery which provides targeting of drugs to the tumor site under a magnetic field. Among various materials, chitosan has a great importance as a pH sensitive...
Tailoring magnetic PLGA nanoparticles suitable for doxorubicin delivery
Tansik, Gulistan; YAKAR, ARZU; Gündüz, Ufuk (2013-12-07)
One of the main problems of current cancer chemotherapy is the lack of selectivity of anti-cancer drugs to tumor cells, which leads to systemic toxicity and adverse side effects. In order to overcome these limitations, researches on controlled drug delivery systems have gained much attention. Nanoscale-based drug delivery systems provide tumor targeting. Among many types of nanocarriers, superparamagnetic nanoparticles with their biocompatible polymer coatings can be targeted to an intented site by an exter...
Investigation of the Therapeutic Effects of Palbociclib Conjugated Magnetic Nanoparticles on Different Types of Breast Cancer Cell Lines
Parsian, Maryam; MUTLU, PELİN; Taghavi Pourianazar, Negar; Yalcin Azarkan, Serap; Gündüz, Ufuk (2023-01-01)
Introduction: Drug targeting and controlled drug release systems in cancer treatment have many advantages over conventional chemotherapy in terms of limiting systemic toxicity, side effects, and overcoming drug resistance. Methods and Results: In this paper, fabricating nanoscale delivery system composed of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) covered with poly-amidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers and using its advantages were fully used to help the chemotherapeutic drug, Palbociclib, effectively reach tumors, specifical...
Biopolymer based micro/nanoparticles as drug carriers for the treatment of skin diseases
Eke, Gözde; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2011)
Controlled drug delivery systems are becoming increasingly interesting with the contribution of nanotechnology. In the case of transdermal applications the greatest limitation is the highly impermeable outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum. One promising method of controlled transdermal drug delivery of the skin therapeutics is the use of nanoparticles as carriers. Encapsulation of the drug, as opposed to classical topical application of creams or emulsions, allows the drug to diffuse into hair f...
