| Resumo: | Aim: Despite some successful examples of therapeutic nanoparticles reaching clinical stages, there is still a significant need for novel formulations in order to improve the selectivity and efficacy of cancer treatment. Methods: The authors developed two novel dendrimerâ gold (Au) complex-based nanoparticles using twodifferent synthesis routes: complexation method (formulation A) and precipitation method (formulation B). Using a biomimetic cancer-on-a-chip model, the authors evaluated the possible cytotoxicity and internalization by colorectal cancer cells of dendrimerâ Au complex-based nanoparticles. Results: The results showed promising capabilities of these nanoparticles for selectively targeting cancer cells and delivering drugs, particularly for the formulation A nanoparticles. Conclusion: This work highlights the potential of dendrimerâ Au complex-based nanoparticles as a new strategy to improve the targeting of anticancer drugs. |
