Abstract

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) has numerous biological functions both intra- and extracellularly, including effects on the directed migration of cells with a regenerative potential in brain tissue. Therefore, carrier systems would be of interest that would be capable to be loaded with ATP and release it in a controlled manner. In the present study, poly(n-butylcyanoacrylate) (PBCA) nanoparticles as a potential carrier system were prepared by anionic polymerization using different polymerization media, which resulted in different zeta potential values and in some cases aggregation of nanoparticles. By decorating the particle surface with positively charged diethylaminoethyl dextran, multivalent ionic interaction allowed to load ATP to the nanoparticles by adsorption. In release experiments, an ATP release over 6 hours was observed. ATP-loaded nanoparticles may thus be suitable to explore biological effects of short-term ATP delivery for biomedical applications.
