Abstract
Novel glucodendrimers scaffolds containing α-d-glucopyranoside at the surface and triazole as bridging unit have been synthesized. Cardiomyocytes were exposed to normal and high glucose level in the presence and absence of glucodendrimers. Cytotoxicity studies were also carried out and the expression of metalloproteinases mainly MMP-2 and 9 was confirmed with gelatine zymography and RT-PCR gene expression studies. Cardio protective efficiency of the synthesized glucodendrimers against high glucose induced toxicity on mettalloproteinase-2 and 9 and also on H9C2 cell lines revealed that higher generation glucodendrimers 6 and 8 are more effective than the lower generation glucodendrimers.
