Abstract: Dendrimers have several featured advantages over other nanomaterials
as drug carriers, such as well-defined structure, specific low-nanometer size
and abundant peripheral derivable groups etc. However, these advantages have
not been fully exploited yet to optimize their biological performance,
especially tumor penetration that is a shortcoming of current nanomaterials.
Here we show the syntheses of a new class of oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-
based thermo-sensitive dendrimers up to the 4th generation. Each dendrimer
shows monodisperse structure. OEG/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with different
precise lengths were introduced respectively to the periphery of the 4th
generation dendrimer followed by an antitumor agent, gemcitabine (GEM). The
biodistributions of the GEM-conjugated dendrimers were investigated by micro
positron emission tomography and multispectral optoacoustic tomography imaging
techniques and compared with that of GEM-conjugated polyamidoamine (PAMAM).
The GEM-conjugated dendrimer with the longest peripheral PEG segments
exhibited the most desirable tumor accumulation and penetration and thus had
significantly higher antitumor activity than the GEM-conjugated PAMAM.
