Trastuzumab is considered to be a fundamental drug for treatment of breast cancer with Her-2 overexpression (Her-2 positive cells). Trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the Her-2 receptor. Trastuzumab treatment used in breast cancer therapy require a visualization to validate their delivery and response. The objective of this study was to investigate Trastuzumab-dendrimer-fluorine drug delivery system by synthesis and characterization of a series of fluorinated dendrimers. Materials and methodsTrastuzumab-dendrimer-fluorine drug delivery system is a covalent attachment of Trastuzumab to fluorinated dendrimers. We design synthesis and evaluate main product by using electrophoresis, HPLC and LC–MS techniques. We prepared three-dimensional breast cancer cell culture in bioreactor device. For the cell culture we used MCF-7 cells with Her-2 overexpression to study Trastuzumab-dendrimer-fluorine drug delivery system efficacy. We evaluate efficacy by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) relaxation time. ResultsAn analytical analysis showed that synthesis of Trastuzumab-dendrimer-fluorine drug delivery system is possible to obtain with a good yield. The results obtained indicated potential of Trastuzumab-dendrimer-fluorine drug delivery system is more efficient than trastuzumab alone. Chromatographic and electrophoretic separations showed that the synthetized conjugates were a Trastuzumab-dendrimer-fluorine drug delivery systems. The hight synthesis efficiency was found. The presence of molecules with lower masses than trastuzumab can have influence on efficiency. ConclusionsTrastuzumab-dendrimer-fluorine drug delivery system is a new form of Trastuzumab to treat breast cancer cells in vitro. Due to presence of 19F nuclei the system can be monitored by MRI measurements.
