Abstract

Betulin dipropionate is a natural compound with high cytotoxicity toward many cancer cells. The one-step synthesis directly from the birch bark without a separate betulin isolation stage was developed to obtain betulin dipropionate. Due to its composition, betulin dipropionate is a promising drug for treating a wide range of diseases. However, the poor water solubility of this compound has limited its applications. We prepared the composites of betulin dipropionate using two methods: ball milling of the mixtures of betulin dipropionate with synthetic and natural polymers, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone polyethylene glycol, fumed silica, arabinogalactan, and preparation of thin films with arabinogalactan by evaporating the aqueous solutions. These composites showed higher water solubility and improved antitumor properties against ascites carcinoma cells and human lung adenocarcinoma cells compared with the initial substance. Furthermore, the cell viability studies based on Annexin V and Propidium iodide probes confirmed the high proapoptotic effect of betulin dipropionate against cancer cells.
