Description
Summary:Cisplatin-complexed gold nanoparticles (PtII–AuNP) provide a promising strategy for chemo-radiation-based anticancer drugs. Effective design of such platforms necessitates reliable assessment of surface engineering on a quantitative basis and its influence on drug payload, stability, and release. In this paper, poly­(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-stabilized PtII–AuNP was synthesized as a model antitumor drug platform, where PtII is attached via a carboxyl-terminated dendron ligand. Surface modification by PEG and its influence on drug loading, colloidal stability, and drug release were assessed. Complexation with PtII significantly degrades colloidal stability of the conjugate; however, PEGylation provides substantial improvement of stability in conjunction with an insignificant trade-off in drug loading capacity compared with the non-PEGylated control (
