Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to design a prototypic drug delivery system (DDS) made of an amphiphilic, pullulan (Pull)-derived biodegradable polymer for targeting the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) overexpressed in HCC. Stearic acid (SA) was conjugated to increase the hydrophobicity of pullulan (Pull-SA). Methods Pullulan (Pull) was linked to stearic acid (SA) after functional group modifications via EDC/NHS chemistry and characterized. Sorafenib tosylate (SRFT) was entrapped in pullulan–stearic acid nanoparticles (Pull-SA-SRFT) and its particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency (EE), loading capacity (LC), and release efficiency was measured. The competence of Pull-SA-SRFT over SRFT in vitro was assessed using the ASGPR over-expressing PLC/PRF/5 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line. This was done by studying cytotoxicity by MTT assay and chromosome condensation assay, early apoptosis by annexin-Pi staining, and late apoptosis by live–dead assay. The cellular uptake study was performed by incorporating coumarin-6 (C6) fluorophore in place of SRFT in Pull-SA conjugates. A biodistribution study was conducted in Swiss-albino mice to assess the biocompatibility and targeting properties of SRFT and Pull-SA-SRFT to the liver and other organs at 1, 6, 24, and 48 h. Results The characterization studies of the copolymer confirmed the successful conjugation of Pull-SA. The self-assembled amphiphilic nanocarrier could proficiently entrap the hydrophobic drug SRFT to obtain an entrapment efficiency of 95.6% (Pull-SA-SRFT). Characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles exhibited highly desirable nanoparticle characteristics. In vitro, apoptotic studies urged that Pull-SA-SRFT nanoparticle was delivered more efficiently to HCC than SRFT. The cellular uptake study performed, gave propitious results in 4 hrs. The biodistribution study conducted in immunocompetent mice suggested that Pull-SA-SRFT was delivered more than SRFT to the liver when compared to other organs, and that the system was biocompatible. Conclusion Pull-SA-SRFT is a promisingly safe, biodegradable, cell-specific nanocarrier and a potential candidate to target hydrophobic drugs to HCC.

[PMID: 30981351 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2019.03.083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2018] [Revised: 02/06/2019] [Accepted: 03/25/2019] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
This investigation reports the nanostructural evolution and associated encapsulation and elution of a hydrophobic drug, demethoxycurcumin (DMC), as a molecular probe, with the carboxymethyl-hexanoyl chitosan (CHC), which has been a technically interesting amphiphilic chitosan-based polymer successfully developed in this lab for years. The self-assembly nature of the CHC in neutral aqueous solutions allowed efficient encapsulation of various drugs without deteriorating or changing drugs' activity. However, its self-assembly behavior associated with nanostructural stability or variation, in terms of residence time in aqueous solution has not been well characterized and how the CHC nanostructure may be altered upon entrapping a drug, followed releasing out of the nanostructure. In this study, the CHC/DMC assembled model was used to evaluate entrapping efficiency, CHC-DMC interaction, and nanostructural variation while the drug being encapsulated and released from the CHC nanoparticles. Experimental outcomes showed a fractal transition between nanoparticulate and short fiber-like network evolution of the CHC as time elapsed, with the presence or absence of the DMC probe. This entrapment of DMC is relatively efficient upon CHC assembly and the associated DMC arrangement inside the helical CHC macromolecule gave largely increasing space over the resulting CHC/DMC assembly. Its excellent colloidal and nanostructural stability over a reasonably long period of time in testing environment suggests that this CHC/DMC assembly not only provides a crucial advantage for drug delivery application but also considers as a nanostructural model for better understanding of the mechanism upon drug encapsulation and elution which may be applicable to alternative amphiphilic polysaccharide-based macromolecules.

Abstract
Twenty-(S)-camptothecin is a strongly cytotoxic molecule with excellent antitumor activity over a wide spectrum of human cancers. However, the direct formulation is limited by its poor water solubility, low plasmatic stability and severe toxicity, which currently limits its clinical use. As a consequence, two strategies have been developed in order to achieve safe and efficient delivery of camptothecin to target cells: structural analogues and nanomedicines. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the design, synthesis and development of camptothecin molecular derivatives and supramolecular vehicles, following a systematic classification according to structure-activity relationships (structural analogues) or chemical nature (nanomedicines). A series of organic, inorganic and hybrid materials are presented as nanoplatforms to overcome camptothecin restrictions in administration, biodistribution, pharmacokinetics and toxicity. Nanocarriers which respond to a variety of stimuli endogenously (e.g., pH, redox potential, enzyme activity) or exogenously (e.g., magnetic field, light, temperature, ultrasound) seem the best positioned therapeutic materials for optimal spatial and temporal control over drug release. The main goal of this review is to be used as a source of relevant literature for others interested in the field of camptothecin-based therapeutics. To this end, final remarks on the most important formulations currently under clinical trial are provided.
