Cutaneous melanoma is a potent neoplasm whose advancement is linked to catecholamine-induced angiogenesis through β-adrenergic receptors. Propranolol (PROP), a non-selective β-blocker, holds potential in oncology, but its systemic side effects restrict its viability. This study aims to nanoencapsulate PROP in Eudragit RL100 polymeric nanocapsules for topical melanoma treatment. : Nanocapsules were created through interfacial deposition of preformed polymer and characterized in terms of particle size, zeta potential, pH, drug content, and encapsulation efficiency. In vitro evaluations include release profile, antioxidant activity, bioadhesiveness, hemolysis, cytotoxicity, and antitumor effect on melanoma cells. Additionally, migration assays were conducted. : The nanocapsules displayed an acidic pH, an average size of 151 nm, and a positive zeta potential. An encapsulation efficiency of 81% was achieved, even with the hydrochloride form of the drug. The release profile exhibited sustained release of PROP, showcasing enhanced antioxidant activity in the nanoencapsulated form. The formulations also exhibited significant bioadhesion with mucin and an in vitro hemolysis rate over 50%, attributed to the cationic polymer and surfactants present. Moreover, in the cell viability assays, the NC-PROP formulations significantly reduced melanoma cell viability. In the migration assay, both the nanocapsules with and without the drug significantly inhibited cell migration, supporting the potential therapeutic benefits of these formulations. : The nanoencapsulation of PROP in Eudragit RL100 presents a viable strategy for topical treatment of cutaneous melanoma, enhancing release duration and reducing systemic effects. The assessments indicated distinct physical properties and substantial therapeutic potential.
皮肤黑色素瘤是一种恶性肿瘤,其进展与儿茶酚胺通过β-肾上腺素能受体诱导的血管生成有关。普萘洛尔(PROP)是一种非选择性β受体阻滞剂,在肿瘤学领域具有潜力,但其全身副作用限制了其应用。本研究旨在将PROP纳米包封于Eudragit RL100聚合物纳米囊中用于局部治疗黑色素瘤。:通过预成型聚合物的界面沉积制备纳米囊,并对其粒径、zeta电位、pH值、药物含量和包封率进行表征。体外评估包括释放曲线、抗氧化活性、生物粘附性、溶血、细胞毒性以及对黑色素瘤细胞的抗肿瘤作用。此外,还进行了迁移试验。:纳米囊呈现酸性pH值,平均粒径为151nm,zeta电位为正。即使使用药物的盐酸盐形式,包封率也达到了81%。释放曲线显示PROP持续释放,纳米包封形式具有增强的抗氧化活性。制剂还表现出与粘蛋白的显著生物粘附性,体外溶血率超过50%,这归因于存在的阳离子聚合物和表面活性剂。此外,在细胞活力试验中,NC-PROP制剂显著降低了黑色素瘤细胞的活力。在迁移试验中,含药和不含药的纳米囊均显著抑制细胞迁移,支持了这些制剂的潜在治疗益处。:将PROP纳米包封于Eudragit RL100中为皮肤黑色素瘤局部治疗提供了一种可行策略,可延长释放时间并减少全身作用。评估表明其具有独特的物理性质和巨大的治疗潜力。
