However, its use is dose-limited due to severe nephrotoxicity. Here we report the rational engineering of a novel nanoplatinate inspired by the mechanisms underlying cisplatin bioactivation. We engineered a novel polymer, glucosamine-functionalized polyisobutylene-maleic acid, where platinum (Pt) can be complexed to the monomeric units using a monocarboxylato and an O –&gt; Pt coordinate bond. We show that at a unique platinum to polymer ratio, this complex self-assembles into a nanoparticle, which releases cisplatin in a pH-dependent manner. The nanoparticles are rapidly internalized into the endolysosomal compartment of cancer cells, and exhibit an IC50 (4.25 + 0.16 mu M) comparable to that of free cisplatin (3.87 +/- 0.37 mu M), and superior to carboplatin (14.75 +/- 0.38 mu M). The nanoparticles exhibited significantly improved antitumor efficacy in terms of tumor growth delay in breast and lung cancers and tumor regression in a K-ras(LSL/+)/Pten(fl/fl) ovarian cancer model. Furthermore, the nanoparticle treatment resulted in reduced systemic and nephrotoxicity, validated by decreased biodistribution of platinum to the kidney as quantified using inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy. Given the universal need for a better platinate, we anticipate this coupling of nanotechnology and structure-activity relationship to rationally reengineer cisplatin could have a major impact globally in the clinical treatment of cancer.</p>10acancer10achemotherapy10ananomedicine1 aParaskar, Abhimanyu, S.1 aSoni, Shivani1 aChin, Kenneth, T.1 aChaudhuri, Padmaparna1 aMuto, Katherine, W.1 aBerkowitz, Julia1 aHandlogten, Michael, W.1 aAlves, Nathan, J.1 aBilgicer, Basar1 aDinulescu, Daniela, M.1 aMashelkar, Raghunath, Anant1 aSengupta, Shiladitya  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/harnessing-structure-activity-relationship-engineer-cisplatin-nanoparticle-enhanced-003013nas a2200409   4500008004100000022001400041245012700055210006900182260008000251300001600331490000800347520160500355653001701960653001701977100002201994700001802016700001802034700002102052700001702073700002002090700002202110700002802132700002002160700002002180700002802200700002202228700002102250700002002271700002902291700002602320700001902346700002702365700002602392700003202418700002502450856012802475       2012                        eng d  a0027-842400aCholesterol-tethered platinum II-based supramolecular nanoparticle increases antitumor efficacy and reduces nephrotoxicity0 aCholesteroltethered platinum IIbased supramolecular nanoparticle  a2101 CONSTITUTION AVE NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20418 USAbNATL ACAD SCIENCEScJUL  a11294-112990 v1093 a<p>Nanoscale drug delivery vehicles have been harnessed extensively as carriers for cancer chemotherapeutics. However, traditional pharmaceutical approaches for nanoformulation have been a challenge with molecules that exhibit incompatible physicochemical properties, such as platinum-based chemotherapeutics. Here we propose a paradigm based on rational design of active molecules that facilitate supramolecular assembly in the nanoscale dimension. Using cisplatin as a template, we describe the synthesis of a unique platinum (II) tethered to a cholesterol backbone via a unique monocarboxylato and O -&gt; Pt coordination environment that facilitates nanoparticle assembly with a fixed ratio of phosphatidylcholine and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine- N-[amino (polyethylene glycol)-2000]. The nanoparticles formed exhibit lower IC50 values compared with carboplatin or cisplatin in vitro, and are active in cisplatin-resistant conditions. Additionally, the nanoparticles exhibit significantly enhanced in vivo antitumor efficacy in murine 4T1 breast cancer and in K-Ras(LSL/+/)Pten(fl/fl) ovarian cancer models with decreased systemic- and nephro-toxicity. Our results indicate that integrating rational drug design and supramolecular nanochemistry can emerge as a powerful strategy for drug development. Furthermore, given that platinum-based chemotherapeutics form the frontline therapy for a broad range of cancers, the increased efficacy and toxicity profile indicate the constructed nanostructure could translate into a nextgeneration platinum-based agent in the clinics.</p>10achemotherapy10ananomedicine1 aSengupta, Poulomi1 aBasu, Sudipta1 aSoni, Shivani1 aPandey, Ambarish1 aRoy, Bhaskar1 aOh, Michael, S.1 aChin, Kenneth, T.1 aParaskar, Abhimanyu, S.1 aSarangi, Sasmit1 aConnor, Yamicia1 aSabbisetti, Venkata, S.1 aKopparam, Jawahar1 aKulkarni, Ashish1 aMuto, Katherine1 aAmarasiriwardena, Chitra1 aJayawardene, Innocent1 aLupoli, Nicola1 aDinulescu, Daniela, M.1 aBonventre, Joseph, V.1 aMashelkar, Raghunath, Anant1 aSengupta, Shiladitya  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/cholesterol-tethered-platinum-ii-based-supramolecular-nanoparticle-increases-antitumor-0
