| Abstract | A novel polymer–enzyme conjugate, O-HTCC–SOD, was prepared through the conjugation of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) to a macromolecular carrier, O-(2-hydroxyl)propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium chitosan chloride (O-HTCC), by the carbodiimide-mediated coupling method. The resulting O-HTCC–SOD conjugate was characterized by various analytical methods. It was a positively charged polymer with broader molecular weight distribution. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra revealed that the conjugated O-HTCC increased highly ordered secondary motifs of SOD, but also reduced partial β-sheet conformation that is crucial for enzymatic activity, which led to a ∼19% activity loss. O-HTCC–SOD could increase its catalytic activity to a maximum of 2.3-fold through gradual cleavage of O-HTCC linked to SOD by α-amylase. It exhibited low cytotoxicity to cells, and superior membrane permeability to native SOD. The conjugate, alone or incubated with α-amylase, significantly protected cell viability from ionizing radiation-induced oxidative damage by scavenging intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that the conjugation of O-HTCC to SOD prolonged its half-life 8.2-fold and increased its bioavailability to 1.56-fold after a single intravenous administration compared to native SOD, and that the time to maximum serum concentration (Tmax) of O-HTCC–SOD was 50-fold longer than that of native SOD, suggesting unique sustained activity enhancement in vivo presumably triggered by biodegradability of O-HTCC. We finally investigated its therapeutic effect against ROS-induced damage induced by whole-body X-ray radiation in mice. O-HTCC–SOD remarkably attenuated ROS-induced oxidative damage and induced tissue protection in mice whereas native SOD failed to do so. Therefore, the biodegradable cationic chitosan derivative O-HTCC can serve as a carrier to improve the therapeutic potential of SOD. The O-HTCC–SOD conjugate might be a promising therapeutic agent for treatment of ROS-related diseases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
