In this work, self-assembled poly(butadiene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PB-PEO) polymersomes (polymer vesicles) and worm micelles were evaluated as paclitaxel carriers. Paclitaxel was successfully incorporated into PB-PEO polymersomes and worm micelles. The loading capacity of paclitaxel inside PB-PEO colloids ranged from 6.7% to 13.7% w/w, depending on the morphology of copolymer colloids and the molecular weight of diblock copolymer. Paclitaxel loaded OB4 (PB219-PEO121) polymersome formulations were colloidally stable for 4 months at 4 degrees C and exhibited slow steady release of paclitaxel over a 5 week period at 37 degrees C. Evaluation of the in vitro cytotoxicity of paclitaxel-polymersome formulations showed that the ability of paclitaxel-loaded polymersomes to inhibit proliferation of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was less compared to paclitaxel alone. By increasing the concentration of paclitaxel in polymersomes from 0.02 to 0.2 mug/mL, paclitaxel-polymersome formulations showed comparable activity in inhibiting the growth of MCF-7 cells. Taken together, these results demonstrate that paclitaxel-polymersomes have desirable restrained release profile and exhibit long-term stability. 相似文献

The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the in vitro stability and in vivo disposition of paclitaxel in rats after solubilization of paclitaxel into hydrotropic polymeric micelles. The amphiphilic block copolymers consisted of a micellar shell-forming poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) block and a core-forming poly(2-(4-vinylbenzyloxy)-N,N-diethylnicotinamide) (P(VBODENA)) block. N,N-Diethylnicotinamide (DENA) in the micellar inner core resulted in effective paclitaxel solubilization and stabilization. Solubilization of paclitaxel using polymeric micelles of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-P(D,L-lactide) (PEG-b-PLA) served as a control for the stability study. Up to 37.4 wt % paclitaxel could be loaded in PEG-b-P(VBODENA) micelles, whereas the maximum loading amount for PEG-b-PLA micelles was 27.6 wt %. Thermal analysis showed that paclitaxel in the polymeric micelles existed in the molecularly dispersed amorphous state even at loadings over 30 wt %. Paclitaxel-loaded hydrotropic polymeric micelles retained their stability in water for weeks, whereas paclitaxel-loaded PEG-b-PLA micelles precipitated in a few days. Hydrotropic polymer micelles were more effective than PEG-PLA micelle formulations in inhibiting the proliferation of human cancer cells. Paclitaxel in hydrotropic polymer micelles was administered orally (3.8 mg/kg), intravenously (2.5 mg/kg), or via the portal vein (2.5 mg/kg) to rats. The oral bioavailability was 12.4% of the intravenous administration. Our data suggest that polymeric micelles with a hydrotropic structure are superior as a carrier of paclitaxel due to a high solubilizing capacity combined with long-term stability, which has not been accomplished by other existing polymeric micelle systems. 相似文献

End-functionalized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) was synthesized by living free radical polymerization and conventional free radical polymerization and was used to prepare graft copolymers with poly(ethylenimine) (PEI). The copolymers exhibited lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior between 30 and 32 degrees C and formed complexes with plasmid DNA. The LCST of the copolymers in the DNA complexes increased slightly to approximately 34-35 degrees C. Cytotoxicity of the copolymers was evaluated by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release from cells. The copolymers exhibited temperature-dependent toxicity, with higher levels of LDH release observed at temperatures above the LCST. Cellular uptake and transfection activity of the DNA complexes with the PEI-g-PNIPA copolymers were lower than those of the control PEI/DNA complexes at temperature below the LCST but increased to the PEI/DNA levels at temperatures above the LCST. 相似文献

A thermo-responsive poly{γ-2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy-ε-caprolactone}-b-poly(γ-octyloxy-ε-caprolactone) (PMEEECL-b-POCTCL) diblock copolymer was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization using tin octanoate (Sn(Oct)(2)) catalyst and a fluorescent dansyl initiator. The PMEEECL-b-POCTCL had a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 38 °C, and it was employed to prepare thermally responsive micelles. Nile Red and Doxorubicin (DOX) were loaded into the micelles, and the micellar stability and drug carrying ability were investigated. The size and the morphology of the cargo-loaded micelles were determined by DLS, AFM, and TEM. The Nile-Red-loaded polymeric micelles were found to be stable in the presence of both fetal bovine serum and bovine serum albumin over a 72 h period and displayed thermo-responsive in vitro drug release. The blank micelles showed a low cytotoxicity. As comparison, the micelles loaded with DOX showed a much higher in vitro cytotoxicity against MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line when the incubation temperature was elevated above the LCST. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to study the cellular uptake and showed that the DOX-loaded micelles were internalized into the cells via an endocytosis pathway. 相似文献

Novel stimuli-responsive micelle self-assembled from Y-shaped P(UA-Y-NIPAAm) copolymer for drug delivery 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A new amphiphilic Y-shaped copolymer, comprised of hydrophobic poly(undecylenic acid) (PUA) and hydrophilic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), was designed and synthesized. A cytotoxicity study revealed that P(UA-Y-NIPAAm) copolymers did not exhibit apparent inhibition impact on the proliferation of cells when the concentration of the copolymer was below 1000 mg/L. Characterization demonstrated that the P(UA-Y-NIPAAm) copolymer is thermosensitive with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 31 degrees C. In water, the P(UA-Y-NIPAAm) copolymer would self-assemble into micelles with a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 20 mg/L. Self-assembled P(UA-Y-NIPAAm) micelles exhibited a nanospherical morphology of 40 to approximately 80 nm in size. The controlled drug release behavior of the P(UA-Y-NIPAAm) micelles was further investigated, and self-assembled micelles exhibited improved properties in controlled drug release. 相似文献

A new class of thermoresponsive polymers, 2-hydroxy-3-butoxypropyl starches (HBPS), was synthesized by changing the hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance of starch using butyl glycidyl ether as hydrophobic reagent. The lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) of HBPS can be adjusted by varying the molar substitution (MS) of hydrophobic groups in the range of 4.5-32.5 °C. In water, HBPS can self-assemble into micelles below the LCST, and the micelles are deformed and aggregate into more polar and larger objects above the LCST. The drug loading HBPS micelles showed thermoresponsive controlled release, namely, the drug release is accelerated dramatically above the LCST. 相似文献

Paclitaxel (PTX) and organophilic iron oxide nanocrystals of 7 nm average size were co-encapsulated in the oily core of poly(lactide)-poly(ethyleneglycol) (PLA-PEG) nanocapsules in order to develop magnetically responsive nanocarriers of PTX. The nanocapsules were prepared by a solvent displacement technique and exhibited satisfactory drug and iron oxide loading efficiency, high colloidal stability, and sustained drug release properties. Drug release also proved responsive to an alternating magnetic field. Magnetophoresis experiments showed that the magnetic responsiveness of the nanocapsules depended on their SPION content. The PTX-loaded nanocapsules exhibited comparable to free PTX cytotoxicity against the A549 lung cancer cell line at 24 h of incubation but higher cytotoxicity than free drug at 48 h of incubation. The conjugation of a cysteine-modified TAT peptide (HCys-Tyr-Gly-Arg-Lys-Lys-Arg-Arg-Gln-Arg-Arg-Arg-NH2) on the surface of the nanocapsules resulted to highly increased uptake of nanocapsules by cancer cells, as well as to profound improvement of their cytotoxicity against the cancer cells. The results obtained justify further investigation of the prospects of these multifunctional PLA-PEG nanocapsules as a targeted delivery system of paclitaxel. 相似文献

Background
Despite the promising anticancer efficacy observed in preclinical studies, paclitaxel and tanespimycin (17-AAG) combination therapy has yielded meager responses in a phase I clinical trial. One serious problem associated with paclitaxel/17-AAG combination therapy is the employment of large quantities of toxic organic surfactants and solvents for drug solubilization. The goal of this study was to evaluate a micellar formulation for the concurrent delivery of paclitaxel and 17-AAG in vivo.Methodology/Principal Findings
Paclitaxel/17-AAG-loaded micelles were assessed in mice bearing human ovarian tumor xenografts. Compared with the free drugs at equivalent doses, intravenous administration of paclitaxel/17-AAG-loaded micelles led to 3.5- and 1.7-fold increase in the tumor concentrations of paclitaxel and 17-AAG, respectively, without significant altering drug levels in normal organs. The enhanced tumor accumulation of the micellar drugs was further confirmed by the whole-body near infrared imaging using indocyanine green-labeled micelles. Subsequently, the anticancer efficacy of paclitaxel/17-AAG-loaded micelles was examined in comparison with the free drugs (weekly 20 mg/kg paclitaxel, twice-weekly 37.5 mg/kg 17-AAG). We found that paclitaxel/17-AAG-loaded micelles caused near-complete arrest of tumor growth, whereas the free drug-treated tumors experienced rapid growth shortly after the 3-week treatment period ended. Furthermore, comparative metabolomic profiling by proton nuclear magnetic resonance revealed significant decrease in glucose, lactate and alanine with simultaneous increase in glutamine, glutamate, aspartate, choline, creatine and acetate levels in the tumors of mice treated with paclitaxel/17-AAG-loaded micelles.Conclusions/Significance
We have demonstrated in the current wok a safe and efficacious nano-sized formulation for the combined delivery of paclitaxel and 17-AAG, and uncovered unique metabolomic signatures in the tumor that correlate with the favorable therapeutic response to paclitaxel/17-AAG combination therapy. 相似文献11.

Intratumoral Delivery of Paclitaxel in Solid Tumor from Biodegradable Hyaluronan Nanoparticle Formulations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In the current study, novel paclitaxel-loaded cross-linked hyaluronan nanoparticles were engineered for the local delivery
of paclitaxel as a prototype drug for cancer therapy. The nanoparticles were prepared using a desolvation method with polymer
cross-linking. In vitro cytotoxicity studies demonstrated that less than 75% of the MDA-MB-231 and ZR-75-1 breast cancer cells were viable after
2-day exposure to paclitaxel-loaded hyaluronan nanoparticles or free paclitaxel, regardless of the dose. These results suggest
that hyaluronan nanoparticles maintain the pharmacological activity of paclitaxel and efficiently deliver it to the cells.
Furthermore, in vivo administration of the drug-loaded nanoparticles via direct intratumoral injection to 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced
mammary tumor in female rats was studied. The paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles treated group showed effective inhibition of
tumor growth in all treated rats. Interestingly, there was one case of complete remission of tumor nodule and two cases of
persistent reduction of tumor size that was observed on subsequent days. In the case of free paclitaxel-treated group, the
mean tumor volume increased almost linearly (R
2 = 0.93) with time to a size that was 4.9-fold larger than the baseline volume at 57 days post-drug administration. Intratumoral
administration of paclitaxel-loaded hyaluronan nanoparticles could be a promising treatment modality for solid mammary tumors. 相似文献

Six amphiphilic diblock copolymers based on methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MePEG) and poly(delta-valerolactone) (PVL) with varying hydrophilic and hydrophobic block lengths were synthesized via a metal-free cationic polymerization method. MePEG-b-PVL copolymers were synthesized using MePEG with Mn = 2000 or Mn = 5000 as the macroinitiator. 1H NMR and GPC analyses confirmed the synthesis of diblock copolymers with relatively narrow molecular weight distributions (Mn/Mw = 1.05-1.14). DSC analysis revealed that the melting temperatures (Tm) of the copolymers (47-58 degrees C) approach the Tm of MePEG as the PVL content is decreased. MePEG-b-PVL copolymer aggregates loaded with the hydrophobic anti-cancer drug paclitaxel were found to have effective mean diameters ranging from 31 to 970 nm depending on the composition of the copolymers. A MePEG-b-PVL copolymer of a specific composition was found to form drug-loaded micelles of 31 nm in diameter with a narrow size distribution and improve the apparent aqueous solubility of paclitaxel by more than 9000-fold. The biological activity of paclitaxel formulated in the MePEG-b-PVL micelles was confirmed in human MCF-7 breast and A2780 ovarian cancer cells. Furthermore, the biocompatibility of the copolymers was established in CHO-K1 fibroblast cells using a cell viability assay. The in vitro hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation of the micelles was also evaluated over a period of one month. The present study indicates that the MePEG-b-PVL copolymers are suitable biomaterials for hydrophobic drug formulation and delivery. 相似文献

PEO-PPO-PEO/PEG shell cross-linked nanocapsules encapsulating an oil phase in their nanoreservoir structure was developed as a target-specific carrier for a water-insoluble drug, paclitaxel. Oil-encapsulating PEO-PPO-PEO/PEG composite nanocapsules were synthesized by dissolving an oil (Lipiodol) and an amine-reactive PEO-PPO-PEO derivative in dichloromethane and subsequently dispersing in an aqueous solution containing amine-functionalized six-arm-branched poly(ethylene glycol) by ultrasonication. The resultant shell cross-linked nanocapsules had a unique core/shell architecture with an average size of 110.7 +/- 9.9 nm at 37 degrees C, as determined by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. Paclitaxel could be effectively solubilized in the inner Lipiodol phase surrounded by a cross-linked PEO-PPO-PEO/PEG shell layer. The paclitaxel-loaded nanocapsules were further conjugated with folic acid to achieve folate receptor targeted delivery. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometric analysis revealed that folate-mediated targeting significantly enhanced the cellular uptake and apoptotic effect against folate receptor overexpressing cancer cells. The present study suggested that these novel nanomaterials encapsulating an oil reservoir could be potentially applied for cancer cell targeted delivery of various water-insoluble therapeutic and diagnostic agents. 相似文献

Cross-linkable di- and triblock copolymers of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) and monomethoxyl poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) were synthesized. These amphiphilic copolymers self-assembled into nanoscale micelles capable of encapsulating hydrophobic paclitaxel in their hydrophobic cores in aqueous solutions. To further enhance their thermodynamic stability, the micelles were cross-linked by radical polymerization of the double bonds introduced into the PCL blocks. Reaction conditions were found to significantly affect both the cross-linking efficiency and the micelle size. The encapsulation of paclitaxel into the micelles was confirmed by the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. Encouragingly, paclitaxel-loading efficiency of micelles was enhanced significantly upon micelle core-cross-linking. Both the micelle size and the drug loading efficiency increased markedly with increasing the PCL block lengths, no matter if the micelles were core-cross-linked or not. However, paclitaxel-loading did not obviously affect the micelle size or size distribution. The cross-linked micelles exhibited a significantly enhanced thermodynamic stability against dilution with aqueous solvents. The efficient cellular uptake of paclitaxel loaded in the nanomicelles was demonstrated by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) imaging. This new biodegradable nanoscale carrier system merits further investigations for parenteral drug delivery. 相似文献

The relative difference in polymeric architectures of dendrimer and linear bis(poly(ethylene glycol)) (PEG) polymer in conjugation with paclitaxel has been described. Paclitaxel, a poorly soluble anticancer drug, was covalently conjugated with PAMAM G4 hydroxyl-terminated dendrimer and bis(PEG) polymer for the potential enhancement of drug solubility and cytotoxicity. Both conjugates were characterized by 1NMR, HPLC, and MALDI/TOF. In addition, molecular conformations of dendrimer, bis(PEG), paclitaxel, and its polymeric conjugates were studied by molecular modeling. Hydrolysis of the ester bond in the conjugate was analyzed by HPLC using esterase hydrolyzing enzyme. In vitro cytotoxicity of dendrimer, bis(PEG), paclitaxel, and polymeric conjugates containing paclitaxel was evaluated using A2780 human ovarian carcinoma cells. Cytotoxicity increased by 10-fold with PAMAM dendrimer-succinic acid-paclitaxel conjugate when compared with free nonconjugated drug. Data obtained indicate that the nanosized dendritic polymer conjugates can be used with good success as anticancer drug carriers. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to design a thermosensitive polymeric micelle system with a relatively fast degradation time of around 1 day. These micelles are of interest for the (targeted) delivery of biologically active molecules. Therefore, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)methacrylamide-oligolactates (HEMAm-Lac(n)()) were synthesized and used as building blocks for biodegradable (block co) polymers. p(HEMAm-Lac(2)) is a thermosensitive polymer with a cloud point (CP) of 22 degrees C which could be lowered by copolymerization with HEMAm-Lac(4). The block copolymer PEG-b-((80%HEMAm-Lac(2))-(20%HEMAm-Lac(4))) self-assembled into compact spherical micelles with an average size of 80 nm above the CP of the thermosensitive block (6 degrees C). Under physiological conditions (pH 7.4; 37 degrees C), the micelles started to swell after 4 h and were fully destabilized within 8 h due to hydrolysis of the lactate side chains. Rapidly degrading thermosensitive polymeric micelles based on PEG-b-((80%HEMAm-Lac(2))-(20%HEMAm-Lac(4))) have attractive features as a (targeted) drug carrier system for therapeutic applications. 相似文献

Concurrent administration of paclitaxel and vinorelbine results in cytotoxicity in vivo and in vitro in a number of tumor cell lines, yet the mechanisms of enhanced cell killing are undefined. In studies here, we show that low concentrations (1 nM) of paclitaxel and vinorelbine in combination result in enhanced cell killing by apoptosis (P<0.05) in the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line, A-549. In contrast, necrotic cell death and formation of multinucleated cells, which were significantly increased by paclitaxel (P<0.05) alone, but not vinorelbine, were not increased synergistically by both drugs. Paclitaxel also caused microtubular disruption which was not observed with vinorelbine. These data provide further rationale for the combined use of paclitaxel and vinorelbine in clinical trials, and suggest that the cooperative effects of drugs on apoptosis are not mediated through similar disruptional effects on microtubules. 相似文献

Effect of temperature shift during culture period on cell growth and paclitaxel was investigated to optimize paclitaxel production in suspension culture of Taxus chinensis. Cell growth showed the optimum at 24 degrees C while paclitaxel synthesis showed the maximum at 29 degrees C. To minimize the inhibitory effect of higher temperature on cell growth, temperature was shifted after a certain period of culture time at 24 degrees C. Paclitaxel synthesis in plant cell culture increased dramatically during day 14 to day 21 regardless of treatment, reaching the maximum production of 137.5 mg paclitaxel/L. When the temperature was maintained at 29 degrees C after day 21, the specific productivity of paclitaxel was sustained for prolonged period of 42 days. The possible relationship between temperature and paclitaxel synthetic pathway was also suggested. 相似文献
