Spectroscopic and calorimetric studies of formation of the supramolecular complexes of PAMAM G5-NH2 and G5-OH dendrimers with 5-fluorouracil in aqueous solution (original) (raw)

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2015

Abstract

The results of spectroscopic measurements (increase in solubility, equilibrium dialysis, (1)H NMR titration) and calorimetric measurements (isothermal titration ITC) indicate exothermic (ΔH<0) and spontaneous (ΔG<0) combination of an antitumor drug, 5-fluorouracil, by both cationic PAMAM G5-NH2 dendrimer and its hydroxyl analog PAMAM G5-OH in aqueous solutions at room temperature. PAMAM G5-NH2 dendrimer combines about 70 molecules of the drug with equilibrium constant K≅300, which is accompanied by an increase in the system order (ΔS<0). Hydroxyl dendrimer, PAMAM G5-OH, combines about 14 molecules of 5-fluorouracil with equilibrium constant K≅100. This process is accompanied by an increase in the system disorder (ΔS>0).
