Cubosomes, a product of nanobioengineering, are self-structured lipid nanoparticles that act like drug-loaded theranostic probes. Here, we describe a simple method for the preparation of combinatorial drug-loaded cubosomes with, proof-of-principle, therapeutic effect against cancer cells, along with diagnostic capabilities. Anticancer drugs cisplatin and paclitaxel were loaded in the cubosomes in combination. The cubosomes were coated with a layer of poly-Ɛ-lysine, which helped avoid the initial burst release of drug and allowed for a slow and sustained release for better efficacy. Cubosomes were imaged by transmission electron microscope, and their dispersion analyzed in vitro by differential scanning calorimetric and X-ray diffractogram studies. The microscopic images depicted spherical polyangular structures, which are easily distinguishable. The analyses revealed that the drug is uniformly dispersed all through the cubosomes. Further characterization was carried out by zeta-potential measurement, in vitro release, and entrapment efficiency studies. The in vitro studies established that the coating of cubosomes successfully reduced the burst release of drugs initially and confirmed a slow, sustained release over increased time. Comparative cytotoxicity of coated, uncoated, and blank cubosomes was evaluated, using human hepatoma HepG2 cell line, and the formulations were found to be entirely nontoxic, similar to the blank ones. The therapeutic efficiency of the cubosomes against HeLa cells was confirmed by the impedance measurement and fluorescent imaging. Furthermore, the reduction in impedance in cells treated with coated combinatorial cubosomes proved the impairment of HeLa cells, as confirmed by fluorescence microscopy.
立方体贴,纳米生物工程的产物,是自组装的脂质纳米粒,作用类似于载药的治疗诊断探针。在这里,我们描述了一种简单的方法来制备组合载药立方体贴,具有治疗癌细胞的原理验证疗效,以及诊断能力。抗癌药物顺铂和紫杉醇联合载入立方体贴。立方体贴被一层聚-ε-赖氨酸包裹,这有助于避免药物的初始突释,并允许缓慢和持续释放以获得更好的疗效。通过透射电子显微镜对立方体贴进行成像,并通过差示扫描量热法和 X 射线衍射图研究对其在体外的分散进行分析。描绘的微观图像显示出球形多角结构,很容易区分。分析表明药物均匀分散在整个立方体贴中。通过 zeta 电位测量、体外释放和包封效率研究进一步进行了表征。体外研究表明,立方体贴的涂层成功地减少了药物的初始突释,并证实了随着时间的增加,药物缓慢而持续的释放。用人肝癌 HepG2 细胞系评价了涂层、未涂层和空白立方体贴的比较细胞毒性,结果表明这些制剂完全无毒,与空白制剂相似。通过阻抗测量和荧光成像证实了立方体贴对 HeLa 细胞的治疗效率。此外,用涂层组合立方体贴处理的细胞中阻抗的降低证明了 HeLa 细胞的损伤,这通过荧光显微镜得到了证实。
