Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy is gaining attraction in advanced cancer therapeutics due to the ubiquity of kinases in cell survival and differentiation. Great progress was made in the past years in identifying tyrosine kinases that can function as valuable molecular targets and for the entrapment of their corresponding inhibitors in delivery compounds for triggered release. Herein we present a class of drug-delivery nanocompounds based on TKI Midostaurin-loaded gold nanoparticles that have the potential to be used as theranostic agents for the targeting of the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) in acute myeloid leukemia. We optimized the nanocompounds' formulation with loading efficiency in the 84-94% range and studied the drug release behavior in the presence of stimuli-responsive polymers. The therapeutic activity of MDS-loaded particles, superior to that of the free drug, was confirmed with toxicities depending on specific dosage ranges. No effect was observed on FLT3-negative cells or for the unloaded particles. Beyond druggability, we can track this type of nanocarrier inside biological structures as demonstrated via dark field microscopy. These properties might contribute to the facilitation of personalized drug dosage administration, critical for attaining a maximal therapeutic effect.
由于激酶在细胞存活和分化中普遍存在,酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKI)疗法在晚期癌症治疗中越来越受到关注。在过去几年中,在鉴定可作为有价值分子靶点的酪氨酸激酶以及将其相应抑制剂包裹在用于触发释放的递送化合物方面取得了巨大进展。在此,我们展示了一类基于负载米哚妥林(Midostaurin)的金纳米颗粒的药物递送纳米化合物,它们有潜力用作治疗诊断剂,用于靶向急性髓系白血病中的FMS样酪氨酸激酶3(FLT3)。我们优化了纳米化合物的配方,使其负载效率在84%至94%之间,并研究了在刺激响应性聚合物存在下的药物释放行为。负载米哚妥林的颗粒的治疗活性优于游离药物,并根据特定剂量范围确定了其毒性。在FLT3阴性细胞或未负载颗粒上未观察到效果。除了可药用性之外,我们还可以通过暗场显微镜观察到这种类型的纳米载体在生物结构中的踪迹。这些特性可能有助于实现个性化药物剂量给药,这对于获得最大治疗效果至关重要。
