BACKGROUND: This study examined the use of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) to administer Dacarbazine (DTIC) to skin melanoma cells with minimal adverse effects. Melanoma is a tricky skin cancer to cure, and standard chemotherapy has many negative effects. Encapsulating DTIC in SLNs may allow the drug to target melanoma cells without harming healthy cells. The study developed and tested DTIC-loaded SLNs for skin melanoma treatment. METHODS: This study encapsulated Dacarbazine (DTIC) in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). SLNs with reversed micelles were produced utilizing specified ratios of the surfactant Kolliphor P188 and phosphatidylcholine. To track SLN drug localisation, gold nanoparticles were conjugated to the DTIC. Nanoparticle size and form were examined using DLS and TEM. These approaches ensured SLNs had the correct size and shape for drug delivery. SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS: In the study, various parameters of the developed solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were evaluated, including particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI), entrapment efficacy, and cumulative drug permeation. The values for these parameters varied across the different formulations, with particle size ranging from 146 ± 4.71 nm to 715 ± 7.36 nm, zeta potential from -12.45 ± 2.78 mV to -30.78 ± 2.83 mV, PDI from 0.17 ± 0.013 to 0.51 ± 0.023, entrapment efficacy from 37.78 ± 2.78% to 87.45 ± 4.78%, and cumulative drug permeation from 117 ± 4.77 μg/cm to 275 ± 5.67 μg/cm. To determine the optimal anti-cancer formulation, the DTIC-SLNs-8 nanoparticles were mixed with an optimized concentration of Gellan gum (0.01% w/v) and applied to DMBA-induced skin tumors in rats for six weeks, twice daily. Histopathology demonstrated that DTIC-SLNs-8-treated rats had less keratosis, inflammatory responses, and angiogenesis than free DTIC-treated rats. The development of SLNs may be a promising approach for melanoma treatment due to their improved drug retention over the skin. The optimised anti-cancer formulation DTIC-SLNs-8 showed improved efficacy with minimal side effects as compared to free DTIC.
背景:本研究考察了使用固体脂质纳米粒(SLNs)向皮肤黑色素瘤细胞给药达卡巴嗪(DTIC),以使其副作用最小化。黑色素瘤是一种难以治愈的皮肤癌,标准化疗有许多负面影响。将DTIC包裹在SLNs中可能使药物靶向黑色素瘤细胞而不损害健康细胞。该研究开发并测试了用于皮肤黑色素瘤治疗的载DTIC的SLNs。 方法:本研究将达卡巴嗪(DTIC)包裹在固体脂质纳米粒(SLNs)中。利用表面活性剂聚氧乙烯蓖麻油EL(Kolliphor P188)和磷脂酰胆碱的特定比例制备了具有反胶束的SLNs。为追踪SLN药物定位,将金纳米颗粒与DTIC偶联。使用动态光散射(DLS)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)检测纳米颗粒的大小和形态。这些方法确保SLNs具有适合药物递送的正确大小和形状。 重要发现:在该研究中,对所制备的固体脂质纳米粒(SLNs)的各种参数进行了评估,包括粒径、zeta电位、多分散指数(PDI)、包封率和药物累积渗透量。这些参数的值在不同制剂中有所不同,粒径范围为146±4.71nm至715±7.36nm,zeta电位为-12.45±2.78mV至-30.78±2.83mV,PDI为0.17±0.013至0.51±0.023,包封率为37.78±2.78%至87.45±4.78%,药物累积渗透量为117±4.77μg/cm至275±5.67μg/cm。为确定最佳抗癌制剂,将DTIC-SLNs-8纳米颗粒与优化浓度的结冷胶(0.01% w/v)混合,并每天两次应用于二甲基苯并蒽(DMBA)诱导的大鼠皮肤肿瘤,持续六周。组织病理学表明,与游离DTIC治疗的大鼠相比,DTIC-SLNs-8治疗的大鼠角化过度、炎症反应和血管生成较少。由于SLNs在皮肤上具有更好的药物保留能力,其开发可能是一种有前景的黑色素瘤治疗方法。与游离DTIC相比,优化后的抗癌制剂DTIC-SLNs-8显示出更高的疗效且副作用最小。
