Abstract

Local chemotherapy is a clinically proven strategy in treating malignant brain tumors. Its benefits, however, are largely limited by the rapid release and clearance of therapeutic agents and the inability to penetrate through tumor tissues. We report here on a supramolecular tubustecan (TT) hydrogel as both a therapeutic and drug carrier that enables long-term, sustained drug release and improved tumor tissue penetration. Covalent linkage of a tissue penetrating cyclic peptide to two camptothecin drug units creates a TT prodrug amphiphile that can associate into tubular supramolecular polymers and subsequently form a well-defined sphere-shaped hydrogel after injection into tumor tissues. The hollow nature of the resultant tubular assemblies allows for encapsulation of doxorubicin or curcumin for combination therapy. Our and studies reveal that these dual drug-bearing supramolecular hydrogels enhance tumor retention and penetration, serving as a local therapeutic depot for potent tumor regression, inhibition of tumor metastasis and recurrence, and mitigation of the off-target side effects.

摘要

局部化疗是治疗恶性脑肿瘤的一种经临床验证的策略。然而,其益处很大程度上受到治疗药物快速释放和清除以及无法穿透肿瘤组织的限制。我们在此报告一种超分子拓扑替康(TT)水凝胶,它既是一种治疗剂又是一种药物载体,能够实现药物的长期、持续释放并改善肿瘤组织穿透性。一种组织穿透性环肽与两个喜树碱药物单元的共价连接产生了一种TT前药两亲物,它可以缔合形成管状超分子聚合物,并在注射到肿瘤组织后随后形成结构明确的球形水凝胶。所得管状组装体的中空性质允许封装阿霉素或姜黄素用于联合治疗。我们的研究表明,这些负载双药的超分子水凝胶增强了肿瘤滞留和穿透性,作为一种局部治疗库可有效实现肿瘤消退、抑制肿瘤转移和复发,并减轻脱靶副作用。
