Descripción
A series of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based materials cross-linked with varying amounts of gallic acid (GA) were synthesized using a simple one-pot methodology. Two protocols were developed to obtain microgels and nanogels, resulting in materials with sizes ranging from 800 to 1200 nm for microgels and from 180 to 400 nm for nanogels, the latter achieved through the incorporation of ultrasonication into the self-assembly process. The amount of GA was found to have a crucial role on the size of the micro/ nanogels, leading to particles of smaller size as the GA concentration increases for microgels, while quite the opposite trend was observed for nanogels. This behavior is attributed to the particle formation kinetics, leading to different structural arrangements. The different nano/microgels synthesized were characterized using DLS, TEM, FT-IR, and NMR. It was found that the synthesis performed under ultrasonication with 20 % GA gives rise to nanogels depicting the most favorable characteristics suitable for drug delivery applications, such as small sizes with a narrow distribution. Therefore, we used these nanogels as a prototype model for breast cancer treatment by encapsulating methylene blue (MB) and performing kinetics experiments of drug release at physiological (pH=7.4) and tumoral (pH=4.0) pH levels, along with cell viability and cytotoxicity assays. The selected NGs were found to be optimal nanocarriers for breast cancer treatment in vitro due to their suitable size [(173 ± 22) nm], excellent MB encapsulation efficiency(EE%) of up to 78 %, and controlled, pH-dependent release over time, with a higher release observed at pH 4. Furthermore, the MB-loaded system demonstrated enhanced drug efficacy and dark cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells in shorter periods.
