CPT-11 is a first-line chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic colorectal cancers. 7-Ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38), the active metabolite of CPT-11, has an anticancer efficacy 100-1000 folds more than CPT-11 in vitro. However, the drawbacks such as ultralow solubility and poor stability, greatly limit the clinical applications of SN38. Recently, SN38-based nanomedicines have greatly improved the pharmaceutical and therapeutic characteristics of SN38. In addition, these nanosized delivery systems can target tumor tissues via the EPR effect and/or active-targeting strategies, thereby significantly improving anticancer efficacy, reducing side effects and reversing drug resistance. This review focuses on the advances of nano-delivery systems for SN38. We categorize the published studies into two groups, physical encapsulation and chemical conjugation, for the development of SN38 nano-delivery systems, and particularly summarize those for active tumor targeting. The advantages and shortcomings of current SN38 nano-delivery systems, aiming to develop more potent SN38 nano-delivery systems, are also discussed.
CPT-11 是一种用于治疗晚期或转移性结直肠癌的一线化疗药物。伊立替康的活性代谢产物 7-乙基-10-羟基喜树碱(SN38)在体外的抗癌活性比 CPT-11 高 100-1000 倍。然而,其超低的溶解度和较差的稳定性等缺点,极大地限制了 SN38 的临床应用。最近,基于 SN38 的纳米药物极大地改善了 SN38 的药物学和治疗特性。此外,这些纳米级的给药系统可以通过 EPR 效应和/或主动靶向策略靶向肿瘤组织,从而显著提高抗癌疗效,降低副作用并逆转耐药性。本综述重点介绍了用于 SN38 的纳米递药系统的研究进展。我们将已发表的研究分为物理包封和化学偶联两类,用于开发 SN38 纳米递药系统,并特别总结了那些用于主动肿瘤靶向的研究。此外,还讨论了当前 SN38 纳米递药系统的优缺点,旨在开发更有效的 SN38 纳米递药系统。
