Antioxidant Activity of New Copolymer Conjugates of Methoxyoligo(Ethylene Glycol)Methacrylate and Betulin Methacrylate with Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles In Vitro.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of two new copolymer conjugates of methoxyoligo(ethylene glycol)methacrylate MPEGMA and betulin methacrylate BM was developed via RAFT polymerization. The molar content of BM units was equal to 9-10 and 13-16 mol%, respectively (HPLC, ¹H and ¹³C NMR); molar weights were equal to 75000-115000. CeO₂ NPs as a component of the hybrid material were synthesized for the preparation of the composition with copolymer conjugates of MPEGMA and BM. We showed a significant increase in G6PDH and GR activities by 21-51% and 9-132%, respectively, which was due to the increase in NADPH concentration under the action of copolymers in vitro. The actions of copolymers and CeO₂ NPs combination were stronger than those of the individual components
