Glioblastoma multiforme is a devastating disease with no curative options due to the difficulty in achieving sufficient quantities of effective chemotherapies into the tumor past the blood-brain barrier. Micelles loaded with temozolomide (TMZ) were designed to increase the delivery of this drug into the brain.
MATERIALS & METHODS: pH-responsive micelles composed of distearoyl phosphoethanolamine-PEG-2000-amine and N-palmitoyl homocysteine were surface-functionalized with PDGF peptide and Dylight 680 fluorophore.
RESULTS & CONCLUSION: PDGF-micelles containing TMZ have specific uptake and increased killing in glial cells compared with untargeted micelles. In vivo studies demonstrated selective accumulation of PDGF-micelles containing TMZ in orthotopic gliomas implanted in mice. Targeted micelle-based drug carrier systems hold potential for delivery of a wide variety of hydrophobic drugs thereby reducing its systemic toxicity.
多形性胶质母细胞瘤是一种毁灭性疾病,由于难以越过血脑屏障将足够量的有效化疗药物输送到肿瘤中,因此没有治愈方案。设计负载替莫唑胺(TMZ)的胶束以增加该药物向脑内的递送。
由二硬脂酰磷脂酰乙醇胺-聚乙二醇-2000-胺和N-棕榈酰高半胱氨酸组成的pH响应性胶束用血小板衍生生长因子(PDGF)肽和DyLight 680荧光团进行表面功能化。
与未靶向的胶束相比,含TMZ的PDGF胶束在胶质细胞中具有特异性摄取并增强了杀伤作用。体内研究表明,含TMZ的PDGF胶束在植入小鼠的原位胶质瘤中具有选择性积累。基于靶向胶束的药物载体系统具有递送多种疏水性药物的潜力,从而降低其全身毒性。
