title: Cytotoxicity and sustained release of modified divinylsulfone from silk based 3D construct.
abstract: Monovinylsulfones have been extensively studied for its biological activities but modified divinylsulfones (mDVS2) were largely neglected due to the non-availability of appropriate synthetic routes. The present report describes the potential of a unique derivative of divinylsulfone as a remedial molecule. The mDVS2, available in reasonably large amount through an easy synthesis route, incites necrosis in invasive and non-invasive breast cancer cells in a time and concentration dependent manner. This molecule is further used to fabricate mDVS2 embedded silk based 3D scaffolds in order to achieve sustained release. The entrapped molecules retain their activity over time, as 100% cell death is observed within 7 days. The findings demonstrate the cytotoxic property of mDVS and highlight the importance of under utilized mDVSs as potential therapeutic agents.
