Topical delivery of paclitaxel for treatment of skin cancer

Context: Skin cancer represents the most growing types of cancer in human and ultraviolet radiation can be cited as one of the prime factor for its occurrence. Current therapy of skin cancer suffers from numerous side effects; for effective therapy, topical application of formulation of paclitaxel (PTX) can be considered as a novel approach.

Objective: The present study is an attempt to prepare formulation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) of PTX for the effective treatment of various form of skin carcinoma.

Methods: The SLN were prepared by high-speed homogenization and ultrasonication method. The prepared SLN were characterized. The optimized PTX SLN were loaded in carbopol gel. The prepared gels were evaluated for its gelling properties and finally studied for in vivo anti-cancer efficacy and histopathological study.

Results: The particle size distribution was found to be in the range of 78.82–587.8?nm. The product yield (%) was found between 60% and 66% and showed a highest entrapment efficiency of 68.3%. The in vitro release of the drug from SLN dispersion was found to be biphasic with the initial burst effect, followed by slow release. SLN-loaded gel were subjected to permeability study and the results show steady-state flux (J_ss), permeability coefficient (K_p), and enhancement ratio were significantly increased in SLN-loaded gel formulation as compared with PTX-loaded gel. The histopathological study clearly reveals the efficacy of the SLN-F3 3G in the treatment of skin cancer.

Conclusion: The experimental formulations show controlled release of PTX and thus expected to show reduce dose-related side effects.

Folate-mediated solid–liquid lipid nanoparticles for paclitaxel-coated poly(ethylene glycol)

Background: As a promising anticancer drug, severe side-effects of current clinical formulations for paclitaxel have restricted its use, developing a better technical-economical formulation for paclitaxel delivery is needed. Method: In this study, the compound of folate-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-phosphatidylethanolamine was synthesized and characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The solid-liquid lipid nanoparticle (SLLN) for paclitaxel modified with folate and poly(ethylene glycol) (folate-PEG-SLLN) was prepared and characterized. Morphology of folate-PEG-SLLN was examined by transmission electron microscopy. The particle size and zeta potential were performed by Zetapals. Encapsulation efficiency was analyzed by HPLC. The in vitro drug release of paclitaxel was investigated via membrane dialysis. The in vivo pharmacokinetics was measured with male Sprague-Dawley rats. Treatment efficiency was investigated with the mouse with sarcoma180 ascites tumor. Results: Paclitaxel loaded on the newly designed binary SLLN showed a longer and sustained in vitro releasing property. More importantly, S180 tumor-bearing mice treated with paclitaxel-loaded SLLN exhibited higher tumor inhibition rate, comparing with animals administered with paclitaxel injection alone (45.3% and 37.3%, respectively). Conclusion: The newly developed paclitaxel delivery system may have improved in vivo antitumor activity. The results demonstrated a great interest to use folate-mediated SLLN as a prospective drug delivery system for paclitaxel.     

Dendrimer as nanocarrier for drug delivery

Dendrimers are novel three dimensional, hyperbranched globular nanopolymeric architectures. Attractive features like nanoscopic size, narrow polydispersity index, excellent control over molecular structure, availability of multiple functional groups at the periphery and cavities in the interior distinguish them amongst the available polymers. Applications of dendrimers in a large variety of fields have been explored. Drug delivery scientists are especially enthusiastic about possible utility of dendrimers as drug delivery tool. Terminal functionalities provide a platform for conjugation of the drug and targeting moieties. In addition, these peripheral functional groups can be employed to tailor-make the properties of dendrimers, enhancing their versatility. The present review highlights the contribution of dendrimers in the field of nanotechnology with intent to aid the researchers in exploring dendrimers in the field of drug delivery.

Dual Targeting Biomimetic Liposomes for Paclitaxel/DNA Combination Cancer Treatment

Combinations of chemotherapeutic drugs with nucleic acid has shown great promise in cancer therapy. In the present study, paclitaxel (PTX) and DNA were co-loaded in the hyaluronic acid (HA) and folate (FA)-modified liposomes (HA/FA/PPD), to obtain the dual targeting biomimetic nanovector. The prepared HA/FA/PPD exhibited nanosized structure and narrow size distributions (247.4 ± 4.2 nm) with appropriate negative charge of −25.40 ± 2.7 mV. HA/FA/PD (PTX free HA/FA/PPD) showed almost no toxicity on murine malignant melanoma cell line (B16) and human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) (higher than 80% cell viability), demonstrating the safety of the blank nanovector. In comparison with the FA-modified PTX/DNA co-loaded liposomes (FA/PPD), HA/FA/PPD showed significant superiority in protecting the nanoparticles from aggregation in the presence of plasma and degradation by DNase I. Moreover, HA/FA/PPD could also significantly improve the transfection efficiency and cellular internalization rates on B16 cells comparing to that of FA/PPD (p < 0.05) and PPD (p < 0.01), demonstrating the great advantages of dual targeting properties. Furthermore, fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry results showed that PTX and DNA could be effectively co-delivered into the same tumor cell via HA/FA/PPD, contributing to PTX/DNA combination cancer treatment. In conclusion, the obtained HA/FA/PPD in the study could effectively target tumor cells, enhance transfection efficiency and subsequently achieve the co-delivery of PTX and DNA, displaying great potential for optimal combination therapy.
