First step towards a model system of the drug delivery network based on amide-POSS nanocarriers

Among the varied and diverse family of drug delivery systems (DDSs), such as polymer–drug conjugates, polymeric micelles, dendrimers and molecular containers, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) occupy a special position within the group of biocompatible drug carriers. The extraordinary recommendation of POSS for such systems derives from their three-dimensional structure, nanoscale si...

Unusual Enhancement of Doxorubicin Activity on Co-Delivery with Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS)

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), bearing eight 3-chloroammoniumpropyl substituents, was studied as a potential nanocarrier in co-delivery systems with doxorubicin (DOX). The toxicity of doxorubicin and POSS:DOX complexes at four different molar ratios (1:1; 1:2, 1:4, 1:8) towards microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1), breast cancer cells (MCF-7), and human cervical cancer endothe...
