Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used cytotoxic drug known for its high antitumor activity; however, its use is associated with side effects. The development of DOX delivery systems that can minimize systemic toxicity and enhance therapeutic efficacy is an urgent task in modern oncology. We studied the process of loading nanoparticles (NPs) with DOX under conditions that promote DOX precipitation to achieve maximum sorption efficiency. For this purpose, polymer-stabilized magnetic NPs were synthesized, and the efficiency of loading and sedimentation was examined based on the buffer type, DOX concentration, and incubation time with the drug. Our findings indicated that in solutions with the most pronounced DOX sedimentation (phosphate and borate buffers), loading was most effective. In a phosphate buffer with an initial DOX concentration of 667 μg/mL, the loading was 886 mg DOX/g NP. The sorption of DOX on NPs under these conditions reached 85% within the first hour and increased to 90% within 3 hours. The release of DOX from NPs was 25% at pH 7.4 and 96% at pH 5.4. Analysis of the survival of EMT-HER2 breast cancer cells demonstrated that the cytotoxicity of NPs loaded with DOX under sedimentation conditions was eight times higher than that of NPs loaded at a concentration of 20 μg/mL, where DOX did not form a sediment. These results suggest that NPs loaded with DOX under sedimentation conditions can be considered an effective delivery system that not only maintains the cytotoxic properties of DOX but also significantly enhances the content and release of the delivered drug.
阿霉素(DOX)是一种广泛使用的细胞毒性药物,以其高抗肿瘤活性而闻名;然而,其使用会带来副作用。开发能够将全身毒性降至最低并提高治疗效果的DOX递送系统是现代肿瘤学中的一项紧迫任务。我们研究了在促进DOX沉淀以实现最大吸附效率的条件下,用DOX加载纳米颗粒(NPs)的过程。为此,合成了聚合物稳定的磁性NPs,并根据缓冲液类型、DOX浓度和与药物的孵育时间,研究了加载和沉淀效率。我们的研究结果表明,在DOX沉淀最明显的溶液(磷酸盐和硼酸盐缓冲液)中,加载最为有效。在初始DOX浓度为667μg/mL的磷酸盐缓冲液中,加载量为886mg DOX/g NP。在这些条件下,DOX在NPs上的吸附在第一小时内达到85%,并在3小时内增加到90%。DOX从NPs中的释放在pH 7.4时为25%,在pH 5.4时为96%。对EMT-HER2乳腺癌细胞存活率的分析表明,在沉淀条件下加载DOX的NPs的细胞毒性比在20μg/mL浓度下加载DOX(此时DOX不形成沉淀)的NPs高八倍。这些结果表明,在沉淀条件下加载DOX的NPs可被视为一种有效的递送系统,它不仅保持了DOX的细胞毒性特性,还显著提高了递送药物的含量和释放。
