Synthesis and anti-tumor activity study of water-soluble PEG-celastrol coupling derivatives as self-assembled nanoparticles.

Abstract:

:To improve the drug-ability of celastrol, a series of PEGylation celastrol (PEGC) were designed and synthesized by conjugation with different kinds of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) with celastrol. Most of PEGCs could easily dissolve in water. In particular, one of them (DC1000) could be dispersed in water to form nanoparticles by self-assembly. The cytotoxic evaluation of PEGCs revealed that some of PEGCs showed more potent cytotoxicity than celastrol, and the molecular weight of PEG parts in PEGCs had apparent influence on their cytotoxic activity. Anti-tumor evaluation in vivo showed DC1000 had higher tumor inhibition rate and better safety than celastrol by intravenous administration with equivalent molar weight. These results revealed PEGylation might be an efficient and economical method to improve the water solubility and safety of celastrol and similar natural products.
