The mechanocomposite of betulin diacetate and its Antitumor Activity
Using gel-penetrating chromatography, it has been shown that mechanochemical treatment of a mixture of arabinogalactan (AG) with betulin diacetate (DAB) in a ball mill led to change of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of AG. The presence of DAB in the mixture promoted restoration of MWD after dissolving the mechanically activated mixture in water and solvent evaporation. The formation of intermolecular complex DAB with AG at dissolution of initial and mechanically activated mixtures in water was suggested. It was shown that the mechanocomposites DAB with AG had the ability to induce cells in ascites Ehrlich carcinoma cell elimination processes mediated disturbance of ion homeostasis.
