Larotrectinib (Lar) is an orally administered tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) inhibitor with broad-spectrum antitumor activity that is available in clinical dosage forms as capsules and oral solutions. Currently, corresponding research is focused on developing new extended-release formulation systems for Lar. In this study, a biocompatible Fe-based metal-organic framework (Fe-MOF) carrier was synthesized by a solvent-based method, and a sustained-release drug delivery system (Lar@Fe-MOF) was constructed by nanoprecipitation and Lar loading. Lar@Fe-MOF was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and its drug loading capacity and drug release properties were measured by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. Then, the toxicity and biocompatibility of the Fe-MOF carriers were evaluated using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and hemocompatibility assays. Finally, the anticancer potential of Lar@Fe-MOF was investigated. The TEM results showed that Lar@Fe-MOF had a homogeneous fusiform nanostructural morphology. The DSC and FTIR results showed that Fe-MOF carriers were successfully synthesized and loaded with Lar, which was mainly in an amorphous form. Lar@Fe-MOF showed a large drug loading capacity (-10%) and significant slow-release properties . The MTT assay results showed that Lar@Fe-MOF had good dose-dependent anticancer activity. The pharmacodynamic assay results showed that Fe-MOF significantly increased the anticancer activity of Lar and was biocompatible. In conclusion, the Lar@Fe-MOF system developed in this study is a promising drug delivery platform because it is easy to manufacture, has high biocompatibility and ideal drug release and accumulation, can effectively eliminate tumors with improved safety and is expected to further expand therapeutic applications.
拉罗替尼(Lar)是一种口服的原肌球蛋白受体激酶(Trk)抑制剂,具有广谱抗肿瘤活性,有胶囊和口服溶液等临床剂型。目前,相应研究集中于开发拉罗替尼的新型缓释制剂系统。在本研究中,通过溶剂法合成了一种生物相容性铁基金属有机框架(Fe-MOF)载体,并通过纳米沉淀法和负载拉罗替尼构建了缓释药物递送系统(Lar@Fe-MOF)。通过透射电子显微镜(TEM)、差示扫描量热法(DSC)、傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱和热重分析(TGA)对Lar@Fe-MOF进行了表征,并通过紫外可见(UV-vis)光谱测定了其载药量和药物释放特性。然后,使用3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-2,5-二苯基四氮唑溴盐(MTT)和血液相容性试验评估了Fe-MOF载体的毒性和生物相容性。最后,研究了Lar@Fe-MOF的抗癌潜力。TEM结果表明,Lar@Fe-MOF具有均匀的梭形纳米结构形态。DSC和FTIR结果表明,成功合成了Fe-MOF载体并负载了拉罗替尼,拉罗替尼主要呈无定形形式。Lar@Fe-MOF显示出较大的载药量(-10%)和显著的缓释特性。MTT试验结果表明,Lar@Fe-MOF具有良好的剂量依赖性抗癌活性。药效学试验结果表明,Fe-MOF显著提高了拉罗替尼的抗癌活性且具有生物相容性。总之,本研究开发的Lar@Fe-MOF系统是一个有前景的药物递送平台,因为它易于制备,具有高生物相容性和理想的药物释放与蓄积,能有效消除肿瘤且安全性提高,有望进一步扩大治疗应用。
