Melanoma is the most aggressive skin carcinoma and nanotechnology can bring new options for its pharmacological treatment. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are ideal drug-delivery carriers for hydrophobic drugs, such as the antineoplastic docetaxel (DTX), and hybrid (NLC-in-hydrogel) systems are suitable for topical application. This work describes a formulation of NLC in xanthan-chitosan hydrogel containing lidocaine (LDC) with anticancer and analgesia effects. The optimized nanoparticles encapsulated 96% DTX and rheological analysis revealed inherent viscoelastic properties of the hydrogel. In vitro assays over murine fibroblasts (NIH/3T3) and melanoma cells (B16-F10), human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and melanoma cells (SK-MEL-103) showed reduction of docetaxel cytotoxicity after encapsulation in NLC and HGel-NLC. Addition of LDC to the hybrid system (HGel-NLC-LDC) increased cell death in tumor and normal cells. In vivo tests on C57BL/6J mice with B16-F10-induced melanoma indicated that LDC, NLC, HGel-NLC-LDC and NLC + HGel-LDC significantly inhibited tumor growth while microPET/SPECT/CT data suggest better prognosis with the hybrid treatment. No adverse effects were observed in cell survival, weight/feed-consumption or serum biochemical markers (ALT, AST, creatinine, urea) of animals treated with NLC or the hybrid system. These results confirm the adjuvant antitumor effect of lidocaine and endorse HGel-NLC-LDC as a promising formulation for the topical treatment of melanoma.
黑色素瘤是最具侵袭性的皮肤癌,而纳米技术可为其药物治疗带来新选择。纳米结构脂质载体(NLC)是疏水性药物(如抗肿瘤药物多西他赛(DTX))的理想药物递送载体,而混合(水凝胶包封NLC)系统适用于局部应用。本文描述了一种含利多卡因(LDC)的黄原胶-壳聚糖水凝胶中NLC的配方,该配方具有抗癌和镇痛作用。优化后的纳米颗粒包封了96%的DTX,流变学分析揭示了水凝胶固有的粘弹性特性。对小鼠成纤维细胞(NIH/3T3)和黑色素瘤细胞(B16-F10)、人角质形成细胞(HaCaT)和黑色素瘤细胞(SK-MEL-103)进行的体外试验表明,多西他赛包封于NLC和水凝胶包封NLC(HGel-NLC)后细胞毒性降低。向混合系统(HGel-NLC-LDC)中添加LDC会增加肿瘤细胞和正常细胞的死亡。对B16-F10诱导的黑色素瘤C57BL/6J小鼠进行的体内试验表明,LDC、NLC、HGel-NLC-LDC和NLC+HGel-LDC均显著抑制肿瘤生长,而微型PET/SPECT/CT数据表明混合治疗的预后更好。在用NLC或混合系统治疗的动物的细胞存活率、体重/饲料消耗量或血清生化标志物(ALT、AST、肌酐、尿素)方面未观察到不良反应。这些结果证实了利多卡因的辅助抗肿瘤作用,并认可HGel-NLC-LDC作为一种有前景的黑色素瘤局部治疗配方。
