Abstract
BACKGROUND Moderate malnutrition is a common problem in young children. It is observed that severe malnutrition affects the pharmacokinetics of chemotherapy drugs in pediatric cancer patients, but moderate malnutrition is not well studied in this context. OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to understand how moderate malnutrition affects the pharmacokinetics of two chemotherapy drugs, etoposide and vincristine, using a murine model of early age moderate malnutrition. METHODS We developed a murine model of moderate childhood malnutrition by subjecting freshly weaned Sprague-Dawley rats to 8% protein diet for 8 weeks. In two separate experiments, we administered etoposide and vincristine (N = 8 for etoposide and N = 12 for vincristine each in protein deficient and control groups) through tail vein injection for pharmacokinetics study. RESULTS We found ~ 60% increase in area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of etoposide in malnourished animals as compared to well-nourished animals. Furthermore, clearance, volume of distribution, and half-life were decreased by ~ 37, 53, and 24%, respectively, in malnourished animals. Pharmacokinetic parameters of vincristine showed only marginal differences between well-nourished and malnourished groups. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that while moderate malnutrition significantly affects the pharmacokinetics of etoposide, pharmacokinetics of vincristine remain unchanged. Since chemotherapy drugs have a narrow therapeutic index, the difference in AUC observed in our study might explain the increased toxicity of etoposide in malnourished pediatric cancer patients. This brings forth a need for robust clinical studies to validate our findings and optimize dose for malnourished patients.

Abstract
Polypropylene glycol (PPG) is a commonly used synthetic polymer in many fields. Investigating the toxicity and pharmacokinetic behavior of PPG polymers is necessary and important for evaluating their safety in medicine and daily cosmetics. In this study, PPG425, PPG1K and PPG2K were selected as the target polymers for cytotoxicity and cellular pharmacokinetics study of PPG polymers. Structural diversity and polydisperse molecular weights (MWs) are significant challenges for quantification of PPG polymers by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Collision induced dissociation in source or collision cell generated a series of PPG-related product ions at m/z 59.0, 117.1, 175.1, 233.2, 291.2, 349.3, 407.2, 465.3 and 523.5 corresponding to fragments containing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 repeating propylene oxide subunits. PPG425 was determined by the sum of the MRM acquisitions used the transitions [M+H]+1 precursor ions → product ions. PPG1K and PPG2K were determined by the MRM acquisitions used the transitions [M+H]+1 precursor ions → product ions at m/z 233.2(four subunits)→59.0(one subunit). Based on the collision induced disassociation technique and structural specific product ions, pharmacokinetic studies of PEG425, PPG1K and PPG2K were successfully conducted in McF-7 cells. The experimental results revealed that PPG polymers are not biologically inert and they can enter into McF-7 cells. The safety of PPG polymers should be considered when they are used as pharmaceutical or cosmetic excipients.

Bioact Mater 2020; 6:1528-1540. [PMID: 33294731 PMCID: PMC7689215 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2020.11.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Cell-mediated drug delivery system (CDDS) has shown great potential for cancer therapy. However, a single cell-mediated drug delivery mechanism has not generally been successful, particularly for systemic administration. To augment the antitumor therapy efficacy, herein, we propose a strategy of cell relay-delivery for the use of artificially damaging/aging erythrocytes to hitchhike on circulating monocytes/macrophages for intratumoral accumulation of anticancer drugs. This biomimetic relay-delivery strategy was derived from the manner in which circulating monocytes/macrophages in body specifically engulf damaged/senescent erythrocytes and actively transmigrate into the tumor bulk. The strategy elegantly combines the natural functions of both cells, which therefore provides a new perspective to challenge current obstacles in drug delivery. According to the strategy, we developed biotinylated erythrocyte-poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticle hybrid DDSs (bE-NPs) using avidin-biotin coupling. In such a system, biotinylated erythrocytes can mimic the natural property of damaged/senescent erythrocytes, while PLGA NPs are capable of encapsulating anticancer drugs and promoting sustained drug release. Anticancer drugs can effectively target tumor sites by two steps. First, by using biotinylated erythrocytes as the carrier, the drug-loaded PLGA NPs could be specifically phagocytized by monocytes/macrophages. Second, by taking advantage of the tumor-tropic property of monocytes/macrophages, the drug-loaded PLGA NPs could be efficiently transported into the tumor bulk. After encapsulating vincristine (VIN) as the model drug, bE-NPs exhibited the most favorable antitumor effects in vitro and in vivo by the cell relay-delivery effect. These results demonstrate that the cell relay-delivery provides a potential method for improving tumor treatment efficacy. The strategy of cell relay-delivery combines the functions of monocytes/macrophages and damaged/senescent erythrocytes. According to the strategy of cell relay-delivery, the bE-NPs can effectively target tumor sites by two steps. The bE-NPs demonstrated the synergistic power of different size-scale technologies.

Abstract
Microtubules exist in all eukaryotic cells and are one of the critical components that make up the cytoskeleton. Microtubules play a crucial role in supporting cell morphology, cell division, and material transport. Tubulin modulators can promote microtubule polymerization or cause microtubule depolymerization. The modulators interfere with the mitosis of cells and inhibit cell proliferation. Tubulin mainly has three binding domains, namely, paclitaxel, vinca and colchicine binding domains, which are the best targets for the development of anticancer drugs. Currently, drugs for tumor therapy have been developed for these three domains. However, due to its narrow therapeutic window, poor selectivity, and susceptibility to drug resistance, it has severely limited clinical applications. The method of combined medication, the change of administration method, the modification of compound structure, and the research and development of new targets have all changed the side effects of tubulin drugs to a certain extent. In this review, we briefly introduce a basic overview of tubulin and the main mechanism of anti-tumor. Secondly, we focus on the application of drugs which developed based on the three domains of tubulin to various cancers in various fields. Finally, we further provide the development progress of tubulin inhibitors currently in clinical trials.

Abstract
The covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to therapeutic compounds (known as PEGylation) is one of the most promising techniques to improve the biological efficacy of small molecular weight drugs. After administration, PEGylated prodrugs can be metabolized into pharmacologically active compounds so that PEGylated drug, free drug and released PEG are present simultaneously in the body. Understanding the pharmacokinetic behavior of these three compounds is needed to guide the development of pegylated theranostic agents. However, PEGs are polydisperse molecules with a wide range of molecular weights, so that the simultaneous quantitation of PEGs and PEGylated molecules in biological matrices is very challenging. This article reports the application of a data-independent acquisition method (MSAll) based on liquid chromatography electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-q-q-TOF-MS) in the positive ion mode to the simultaneous determination of methoxyPEG2000-doxorubicin (mPEG2K-Dox) and its breakdown products in rat blood. Using the MSAll technique, precursor ions of all molecules are generated in q1, fragmented to product ions in q2 (collision cell), and subjected to TOF separation before precursor and product ions are recorded using low and high collision energies (CE) respectively in different experiments for a single sample injection. In this study, dissociation in q2 generated a series of high resolution PEG-related product ions at m/z 89.0611, 133.0869, 177.1102, 221.1366, 265.1622, 309.1878, and 353.2108 corresponding to fragments containing various numbers of ethylene oxide subunits, Dox-related product ions at m/z 321.0838 and 361.0785, and an mPEG2K-Dox specific product ion at m/z 365.0735. Detection of mPEGs and mPEG2K-Dox was based on high resolution extracted ions of mPEG and the specific compound. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of doxorubicin, mPEG2K (methylated polyethylene glycol 2K), and mPEG2K-doxorubicin in rats after a single intravenous injection of mPEG2K-doxorubicin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first assay that simultaneously determines mPEG, Dox, and mPEG2K-Dox in a biological matrix. We believe the MSAll technique as applied in this study can be potentially extended to the determination of other PEGylated small molecules or polymeric compounds.

Abstract
The bioactive alkaloids (e.g. vincristine, hydroxycamptothecin, ligustrazine, and so on) from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have exerted potent efficacies (e.g. anti-tumor, anti-inflammation, immunosuppression, etc.). However, a series of undesirable physicochemical properties (like low solubility and weak stability) and baneful pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles (e.g. low bioavailability, short half time, rapid clearance, etc.) have severely restricted their applications in clinic. In addition, some side effects (like cumulative toxicities caused by high-frequency administration and their own toxicities) have recently been reported and also confined their clinical uses. Therefore, developments in drug delivery of such alkaloids are of significance in improving their drug-like properties and, thus, treatment efficiencies in clinic. Strategies, including (i) specific delivery via liposomes; (ii) sustained delivery via nanoparticles, gels, and emulsions; and (iii) transdermal delivery via ethosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and penetrating enhancers, have been reported to improve the pharmacokinetic and physicochemical characters of problematic TCM alkaloids, decline their adverse effects, and thus, boost their curative efficacies. In this review, the recent reports in this field were comprehensively summarized with the aim of providing an informative reference for relevant readers.

Abstract
Oral delivery is considered the preferred route of administration due to its convenience and favorable compliance. Here, docetaxel (DTX) loaded polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles, coated with polyethyleneimine⁻folic acid (PEI-FA) and polyethyleneimine⁻borneol (PEI-BO), were designed to enhance oral absorption (FA/BO-PLGA-NPs). The FA/BO-PLGA-NPs were spherical and smooth with an average size of (137.0 ± 2.1) nm. Encapsulation efficiency (EE%) and drug loading (DL%) were (80.3 ± 1.8)% and (2.3 ± 0.3)%, respectively. In vitro release studies showed that approximately 62.1% of DTX was released from FA/BO-PLGA-NPs in media at pH 7.4. The reverted gut sac method showed that the absorption of FA/BO-PLGA-NPs in the intestines was approximately 6.0 times that of DTX. Moreover, cellular uptake suggested that the obtained FA/BO-PLGA-NPs could be efficiently internalized into Caco-2 cells via FA-mediated active targeting and BO-mediated P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition. Pharmacokinetics study demonstrated that after oral administration of DTX at a dose of 10 mg/kg in FA/BO-PLGA-NPs, the bioavailability of FA/BO-PLGA-NPs was enhanced by approximately 6.8-fold compared with that of DTX suspension. FA/BO-PLGA-NPs caused no obvious irritation to the intestines. Overall, the FA/BO-PLGA-NP formulation remarkably improved the oral bioavailability of DTX and exhibited a promising perspective in oral drug delivery.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was designed to improve the in vivo pharmacokinetics of long-circulating vincristine sulfate (VS)-loaded liposomes; three different long-circulating materials, chitosan, poly(ethylene glycol)-1,2-distearoyl sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG-DSPE), and poly(ethylene glycol)-poly-lactide-co-glycolide (PEG-PLGA), were evaluated at the same coating molar ratio with the commercial product Marqibo(®) (vincristine sulfate liposome injection [VSLI]). MATERIALS AND METHODS VS-loaded liposomes were prepared by a pH gradient method and were then coated with chitosan, PEG-DSPE, or PEG-PLGA. Physicochemical properties, including the morphology, particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency (EE%), pH, drug loading, and in vitro release, were determined. Preservation stability and pharmacokinetic studies were performed to compare the membrane-coated liposomes with either commercially available liposomes or the VS solution. RESULTS The sphere-like morphology of the vesicles was confirmed by transmission electron microscope. Increased particle size, especially for the chitosan formulation, was observed after the coating process. However, the EE% was ~99.0% with drug loading at 2.0 mg/mL, which did not change after the coating process. The coating of long-circulation materials, except for chitosan, resulted in negatively charged and stable vesicles at physiological pH. The near-zero zeta potential exhibited by the PEG-DSPE formulation leads to a longer circulation lifetime and improved absorption for VS, when compared with the PEG-PLGA formulation. Compared with the commercial product, PEG was responsible for a higher plasma VS concentration and a longer half-life. CONCLUSION PEG-DSPE coating may be related to better absorption, based on the stability and a pharmacokinetic improvement in the blood circulation time.

Abstract
Purpose. Developing a validated HPLC-DAD method for simultaneous determination of posaconazole (PSZ) and vincristine (VCR) in rat plasma. Methods. PSZ, VCR, and itraconazole (ITZ) were extracted from 200 μL plasma using diethyl ether in the presence of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution. The organic layer was evaporated in vacuo and dried residue was reconstituted and injected through HC-C18 (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) column. In the mobile phase, acetonitrile and 0.015 M potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (30 : 70 to 80 : 20, linear gradient over 7 minutes) pumped at 1.5 mL/min. VCR and PSZ were measured at 220 and 262 nm, respectively. Two Sprague Dawley rats were orally dosed PSZ followed by iv dosing of VCR and serial blood sampling was performed. Results. VCR, PSZ, and ITZ were successfully separated within 11 min. Calibration curves were linear over the range of 50–5000 ng/mL for both drugs. The CV% and % error of the mean were ≤18% and limit of quantitation was 50 ng/mL for both drugs. Rat plasma concentrations of PSZ and VCR were simultaneously measured up to 72 h and their calculated pharmacokinetics parameters were comparable to the literature. Conclusion. The assay was validated as per ICH guidelines and is appropriate for pharmacokinetics drug-drug interaction studies.

Abstract
Vincristine sulfate (VCS) is a drug of choice for the treatment of childhood and adult acute lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as well as solid tumors including sarcomas. However, poor biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic traits of VCS like short serum half-life (12 min), high dosing frequency (1.4 mg/m(2) per week for 4 weeks) and extensive protein binding (75%) limit the clinical potential of VCS in cancer therapy. In present investigation, injectable vincristine sulfate loaded dextran microspheres (VCS-Dextran-MSs) were prepared and amalgamated with chitosan-β-glycerophosphate gel (VCS-Dextran-MSs-Gel) to surmount the biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic limitations of VCS that consequently induced synergistic sustained release pattern of the drug. Particle size and zeta-potential of VCS-Dextran-MSs were measured to be 6.8 ± 2.4 μm and -18.3 ± 0.11 mV along with the encapsulation efficiency of about 60.4 ± 4.5%. Furthermore, VCS-Dextran-MSs and VCS-Dextran-MSs-Gel exhibited slow release pattern and 94.7% and 95.8% of the drug was released in 72 h and 720 h, respectively. Results from cell viability assay and pharmacokinetic as well as histopathological analysis in mice indicated that VCS-Dextran-MSs-Gel offers superior therapeutic potential and higher AUClast than VCS-Dextran-MSs and drug solution. In conclusion, VCS-Dextran-MSs-Gel warrants further preclinical tumor growth study to scale up the technology.

Abstract
This study was aimed at developing a sensitive and selective HPLC method with postcolumn fluorescence derivatization for the detection of propylene glycol alginate sodium sulfate (PSS) in rat plasma. Plasma samples were prepared by a simple and fast ultrafiltration method. PSS was extracted from rat plasma with D-glucuronic acid as internal standard. Isocratic chromatographic separation was performed on a TSKgel G2500 PWxL column with the mobile phase of 0.1 M sodium sulfate at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. Analyte detection was achieved by fluorescence detection (FLD) at 250 nm (excitation) and 435 nm (emission) using guanidine hydrochloride as postcolumn derivatizing reagent in an alkaline medium at 120 °C. The calibration curve was linear over a concentration range of 1-500 μg/mL, and the lower limit of detection (LLOD) was found to be 250 ng/mL. This validated method was applied successfully to the pharmacokinetic study of PSS and PSS-loaded poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (PSS-NP) in rat plasma after a single intravenous (PSS only) and oral administration (PSS and PSS-NP). Significant differences in the main pharmacokinetic parameters of PSS and PSS-NP were observed. The relative bioavailability of PSS-NP was 190.10% compared with PSS which shows that PSS-NP can improve oral bioavailability.
