The clinical application of disulfiram (DSF) in cancer treatments is hindered by its rapid degradation in the blood circulation. In this study, methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)- b-poly(lactide- co-glycolide)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (mPEG- b-PLGA/PCL) micelles were developed for encapsulation of DSF by using the emulsification-solvent diffusion method. Medium chain triglyceride (MCT) was incorporated into the mixed polymeric micelles to improve drug loading by reducing the core crystallinity. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results implied that DSF is likely present in an amorphous form within the micelles, and is well dispersed. DSF is encapsulated within the core and the reservoir is stabilized by the hydrophilic shell to prevent rapid diffusion of DSF from the core. The DSF mixed micelles (DSF-MMs) showed good drug loading (5.90%) and a well-controlled particle size (86.4 ± 13.2 nm). The mixed micelles efficiently protected DSF from degradation in plasma, with 58% remaining after 48 h, while almost 90% of DSF was degraded after the same period for the DSF solution (DSF-sol), which was used as a control. The pharmacokinetics study showed that the maximum plasma concentration and bioavailability of DSF were improved by using the DSF-MMs (2 and 2.5 times that of the DSF-sol). The TIRs (tumor inhibition rates) of 5-FU, DSF-sol, and DSF-MMs were 63.46, 19.57, and 69.98%, respectively, implying that DSF-MMs slowed the growth of a H22 xenograft tumor model effectively.
双硫仑(DSF)在癌症治疗中的临床应用受到其在血液循环中快速降解的阻碍。在这项研究中,采用乳化-溶剂扩散法,用甲氧基聚乙二醇- b-聚(乳酸- co- 丙交酯)/聚(ε-己内酯)(mPEG- b-PLGA/PCL)胶束包封 DSF。中链甘油三酯(MCT)被掺入混合聚合物胶束中,通过降低核结晶度来提高药物载量。差示扫描量热法(DSC)结果表明,DSF 可能以无定形形式存在于胶束中,并且分散良好。DSF 被包封在核内,亲水性外壳稳定了储库,以防止 DSF 从核内快速扩散。DSF 混合胶束(DSF-MMs)具有良好的载药量(5.90%)和良好的粒径控制(86.4 ± 13.2nm)。混合胶束能有效地保护 DSF 免受血浆降解,48 小时后仍有 58%的 DSF 残留,而相同时间后 DSF 溶液(DSF-sol)几乎 90%的 DSF 降解,DSF-sol 作为对照。药代动力学研究表明,使用 DSF-MMs 可以提高 DSF 的最大血浆浓度和生物利用度(分别是 DSF-sol 的 2 倍和 2.5 倍)。5-FU、DSF-sol 和 DSF-MMs 的 TIR(肿瘤抑制率)分别为 63.46%、19.57%和 69.98%,表明 DSF-MMs 能有效减缓 H22 异种移植瘤模型的生长。
