| Figure 3: ((a) Cumulative release of poly(AMPD-BAC)-g-PEG-DTPA-Pt in water (  ) and in chloride solution (150 mM NaCl) (  ). There is no significant
release of platinum complex in either water or high chloride solution which is mainly attributed to the strong chelation of DTPA. (b) Effects of  poly(AMPD-BAC)-
g-PEG,  poly(AMPD-BAC)-g-PEG-DTPA-Pt and cisplatin on viability of MCF-10A after 24 h incubation. Poly(AMPD-BAC)-g-PEG-DTPA-Pt shows little
cytotoxicity to cells as poly(AMPD-BAC)-g-PEG. Cytotoxicity profile of  cisplatin is presented for comparison. Optical images of MCF-10A cells 24 h incubation with
10 mg/mL concentrations of (c) Poly(AMPD-BAC)-g-PEG, (d) Poly(AMPD-BAC)-g-PEG-DTPA-Pt and (e) cisplatin. |
