Despite significant advancements in anticancer nanotherapeutics, the efficient encapsulation of multiple therapeutic modalities within single nanocarriers remains challenging due to the complex requirements of supramolecular self-assembly and/or chemical modification. These intricate synthesis procedures often impede the clinical translation of promising nanomedicines. In this study, we introduce a cost-effective and straightforward self-assembling cytotoxic nanotherapeutic strategy that enables the noncovalent incorporation of water-insoluble anticancer molecular inhibitors with high drug loading. This was achieved through the lipid conjugation of camptothecin, enabling nanoassembly in aqueous solutions devoid of excipients. These nanoassemblies were further developed into nanovehicles capable of encapsulating a high capacity of structurally diverse cargos, including molecularly targeted agents. Notably, nanoassemblies composed of linoleic acid-conjugated camptothecin and sorafenib demonstrated stability and sustained release of their payloads. The combination nanoparticles exhibited synergistic effects and effectively overcame ABCG2-mediated drug resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Systemic administration of these nanotherapeutics led to sustained tumor growth inhibition in various HCC xenograft-bearing mouse models, including a chemically induced orthotopic HCC model. This innovative supramolecular assembly strategy, which allows a single vehicle to deliver multimodal therapies, shows promise in overcoming drug resistance in human HCC and could be adapted for the development of other injectable nanomedicines, warranting further investigation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study advances anticancer nanotherapy by developing a simple and cost-effective self-assembling strategy that enables high loading of multiple water-insoluble chemotherapeutics. Using lipid-conjugated camptothecin, we created stable nanoassemblies capable of synergistically delivering diverse molecularly targeted agents. This combinatory platform effectively overcame therapeutic resistance and demonstrated sustained tumor inhibition in hepatocellular carcinoma-bearing mouse models. This new self-assembling cytotoxic nanotherapeutic strategy has potential applications for the development of other injectable nanomedicines.
尽管抗癌纳米疗法取得了重大进展,但由于超分子自组装和/或化学修饰的复杂要求,在单个纳米载体中高效封装多种治疗方式仍然具有挑战性。这些复杂的合成程序常常阻碍有前景的纳米药物的临床转化。在本研究中,我们引入了一种经济高效且简单的自组装细胞毒性纳米治疗策略,该策略能够以高载药量非共价结合水不溶性抗癌分子抑制剂。这是通过喜树碱的脂质共轭实现的,从而能够在不含赋形剂的水溶液中进行纳米组装。这些纳米组装体进一步发展成为能够封装高容量结构多样的货物(包括分子靶向剂)的纳米载体。值得注意的是,由亚油酸共轭喜树碱和索拉非尼组成的纳米组装体表现出其负载物的稳定性和持续释放。组合纳米颗粒表现出协同效应,并有效克服了肝细胞癌(HCC)中ABCG2介导的耐药性。在各种携带HCC异种移植瘤的小鼠模型(包括化学诱导的原位HCC模型)中,全身给药这些纳米治疗剂导致肿瘤生长受到持续抑制。这种创新的超分子组装策略允许单个载体递送多模式疗法,在克服人类HCC耐药性方面显示出前景,并且可以适用于其他可注射纳米药物的开发,值得进一步研究。 意义声明:本研究通过开发一种简单且经济高效的自组装策略推进了抗癌纳米疗法,该策略能够高负载多种水不溶性化疗药物。利用脂质共轭喜树碱,我们创建了能够协同递送多种分子靶向剂的稳定纳米组装体。这个组合平台有效克服了治疗耐药性,并在携带肝细胞癌的小鼠模型中显示出持续的肿瘤抑制作用。这种新的自组装细胞毒性纳米治疗策略在其他可注射纳米药物的开发中具有潜在应用。
