Chondroitin sulfate-cholesterol
Chondroitin sulfate-cholesterol is a cholesterol derivative. Chondroitin sulfate-cholesterol can form reduction-responsive shell-sheddable micelles via disulfide bond linkage and be used to efficiently encapsulate hydrophobic drugs and achieve intracellular triggered release. Chondroitin sulfate-cholesterol can be used for cancer research.

Biological Activity
Chondroitin sulfate-cholesterol can form micelles (S-ss-Chol), S-ss-Chol (0.02-200 μg/mL; 48 h) exhibit negligible cytotoxicity to HeLa cells at concentrations ≤20 μg/mL, slight cytotoxicity at 200 μg/mL, and no significant cytotoxicity to HSF cells at concentrations up to 200 μg/mL after 48 h incubation[1].

Cell Line:HeLa (cancer), HSF (normal)
-
Concentration:0.02, 0.2, 2, 20, 200 μg/mL (S-ss-Chol micelles)
-
Incubation Time:48 h
-
Result:Maintained cell viability >80% for HeLa cells at concentrations ≤20 μg/mL, and near 80% at 200 μg/mL.
Maintained cell viability >90% for HSF cells at all concentrations up to 200 μg/mL.
Showed no significant morphological difference between HeLa cells treated with 200 μg/mL micelles and untreated controls, with only a slight decrease in cell number.
