A novel luteolin (LUT) loaded dual bionanocarrier 'phytochylomicron' was elaborated to allow LUT injectable delivery and liver cancer targeting.
LUT-phospholipid complex was prepared and loaded into chylomicron nanocarrier. Then phytochylomicron underwent physicochemical characterization, cell culture and pharmacodynamics studies on a new liver-tumor model.
Phytochylomicron showed sustained release pattern with minimum drug leakage until reaching the liver. Cell culture studies showed high growth inhibition of Hep G2 cells with 2.6-fold enhancement in cellular uptake. Pharmacodynamics demonstrated enhanced tumor growth inhibition (sixfold) with a significant tumor size reduction. Finally, cell culture results demonstrated an excellent correlation with pharmacodynamics confirming the obtained findings.
A novel phytochylomicron nanosystem was successfully elaborated with promising characteristics that promoted injectable LUT delivery and liver cancer targeting. [Formula: see text].
研制了一种新型的叶黄素(LUT)负载双仿生纳米载体“植物乳糜微粒”,以实现 LUT 的可注射递药和肝癌靶向。
制备 LUT-磷脂复合物并将其载入乳糜微粒纳米载体中。然后对植物乳糜微粒进行理化性质表征、细胞培养和新的肝癌模型药效学研究。
植物乳糜微粒呈现出最小药物泄漏的持续释放模式,直到到达肝脏。细胞培养研究表明,Hep G2 细胞的生长抑制率很高,细胞摄取增加了 2.6 倍。药效学研究表明,肿瘤生长抑制增强了六倍,肿瘤体积显著缩小。最后,细胞培养结果与药效学结果具有极好的相关性,证实了所得结果。
成功研制了一种具有良好特性的新型植物乳糜微粒纳米系统,促进了 LUT 的可注射递药和肝癌靶向。
