Synthesis Characterization of Platinum (IV) Complex Curcumin Backboned Polyprodrugs: In Vitro Drug Release Anticancer Activity.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The conventional mono-chemotherapy still suffers from unsatisfied potency for cancer therapy due to tumor heterogeneity and the occurrence of drug resistance. Combination chemotherapy based on the nanosized drug delivery systems (nDDSs) has been developed as a promising platform to circumvent the limitations of mono-chemotherapy. In this work, starting from cisplatin and curcumin (Cur), we prepared a dual drug backboned shattering polymeric nDDS for synergistic chemotherapy. By in situ polymerization of the Cur, platinum (IV) complex-based prodrug monomer (DHP), L-lysine diisocyanate (LDI), and then conjugation with a hydrophilic poly (ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (mPEG) derivative, a backbone-type platinum (IV) and Cur linkage containing mPEG-poly(platinum-co-Cur)-mPEG (PCPt) copolymer was synthesized. Notably, the platinum (IV) (Pt (IV)) and Cur were incorporated into the hydrophobic segment of PCPt with the fixed drugs loading ratio and high drugs loading content. The batch-to-batch variability could be decreased. The resulting prodrug copolymer then self-assembled into nanoparticles (PCPt NPs) with an average diameter around 100 nm, to formulate a synergetic nDDS. Importantly, PCPt NPs could greatly improve the solubility and stability of Cur. In vitro drug release profiles have demonstrated that PCPt NPs were stable in PBS 7.4, rapid burst release was greatly decreased, and the Pt and Cur release could be largely enhanced under reductive conditions due to the complete dissociation of the hydrophobic main chain of PCPt. In vitro cell viability test indicated that PCPt NPs were efficient synergistic chemotherapy units. Moreover, PCPt NPs were synergistic for cisplatin-resistant cell lines A549/DDP cells, and they exhibited excellent reversal ability of tumor resistance to cisplatin. This work provides a promising strategy for the design and synthesis of nDDS for combination chemotherapy.
