Resumo

The cytotoxicity and antioxidant properties of water-soluble (at physiological pH) chitosan- (poly)nitroxides (CPNs) containing pyrroline-based nitroxide and having different molecular weights of the polysaccharide backbone were studied on normal (Vero) and tumor (HepG2) cell models. The compounds were found to exhibit low cytotoxicity and to effectively reduce the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated upon the breakdown of tert-butyl hydroperoxide in normal cells. In tumor cells, the CPNs have little effect on the ROS level under the oxidative stress. The results show that CPNs also represent a promising platform for the development of cell delivery systems for biologically active compounds.
