New organaboron
amide-ester branched derivatives of poly(itaconic anhydride-alt-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane) are
synthesized by amidolysis and grafting reactions, respectively. The structure
and composition of the synthesized compounds are characterized by FTIR-ATR
(Fourier Transform-Infrared-Attenuated Total Reflection) and 1H (13C)
NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy. These novel functionalized boron
containing biopolymers are interacted with HeLa (human cervix carcinoma
cell) cancer cells and L929 Fibroblast (normal) cells. Their anticancer properties are investigated
using a combination of different biochemical analysis methods. It is found that
both the values of the cytotoxicity and necrotic indexes are increased due to
organoboron linkage but these indexes of organoboron amide-ester derivative are
visibly decreased because of a-Hydroxy-ω- methoxypoly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)
biocompatibilization. The results of these studies allow us to utilize PEO
branched derivatives of synthesized organoboron copolymers (up to 200 µg mL-1)
as therapeutic potential functional copolymer drugs in cancer chemotherapy and
boron-neutron capture therapy (BNCT).
