Thakkar D, Singh S, Wairkar S. Advanced Delivery Strategies of Nintedanib for Lung Disorders and Beyond: A Comprehensive Review. AAPS PharmSciTech 2024; 25:150. [PMID: 38954161 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-024-02869-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Nintedanib, a primary treatment for lung fibrosis, has gathered substantial attention due to its multifaceted potential. A tyrosine kinase inhibitor, nintedanib, inhibits multiple signalling receptors, including endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and ultimately inhibits fibroblast proliferation and differentiation. Therefore, nintedanib has been studied widely for other ailments like cancers and hepatic fibrosis, apart from lung disorders. Commercially, nintedanib is available as soft gelatin capsules for treatment against idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Since it has very low oral bioavailability (4.7%), high doses of a drug, such as 100-150 mg, are administered, which can cause problems of gastrointestinal irritation and hepatotoxicity. The article begins with exploring the mechanism of action of nintedanib, elucidating its complex interactions within cellular pathways that govern fibrotic processes. It also emphasizes the pharmacokinetics of nintedanib, clinical trial insights, and the limitations of conventional formulations. The article mainly focuses on the emerging landscape of nanoparticle-based carriers such as hybrid liposome-exosome, nano liquid crystals, discoidal polymeric, and magnetic systems, offering promising avenues to optimize drug targeting, address its efficacy issues and minimise adverse effects. However, none of these delivery systems are commercialised, and further research is required to ensure safety and effectiveness in clinical settings. Yet, as research progresses, these advanced delivery systems promise to revolutionise the treatment landscape for various fibrotic disorders and cancers, potentially improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Abstract
Leukemia is a malignancy of the hematopoietic system, and as its pathogenesis has become better understood, three generations of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been developed. Ponatinib is the third-generation breakpoint cluster region (BCR) and Abelson (ABL) TKI, which has been influential in the leukemia therapy for a decade. Moreover, ponatinib is a potent multi-target kinase inhibitor that acts on various kinases, such as KIT, RET, and Src, making it a promising treatment option for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), lung cancer, myeloproliferative syndrome, and other diseases. The drug's significant cardiovascular toxicity poses a significant challenge to its clinical use, requiring the development of strategies to minimize its toxicity and side effects. In this article, the pharmacokinetics, targets, therapeutic potential, toxicity and production mechanism of ponatinib will be reviewed. Furthermore, we will discuss methods to reduce the drug's toxicity, providing new avenues for research to improve its safety in clinical use.

Abstract
The indole heterocycle represents one of the most important scaffolds in medicinal chemistry and is shared among a number of drugs clinically used in different therapeutic areas. Due to its varied biological activities, high unique chemical properties and significant pharmacological behaviors, indole derivatives have drawn considerable interest in the last decade as antitumor agents active against different types of cancers. The research of novel antiproliferative drugs endowed with enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity led to the approval by U.S. Food and Drug Administration of the indole-based anticancer agents Sunitinib, Nintedanib, Osimertinib, Panobinostat, Alectinib and Anlotinib. Additionally, new drug delivery systems have been developed to protect the active principle from degradation and to direct the drug to the specific site for clinical use, thus reducing its toxicity. In the present work is an updated review of the recently approved indole-based anti-cancer agents and the nanotechnology systems developed for their delivery.

Sulfatinib, a novel multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor of FGFR1, CSF1R, and VEGFR1-3, suppresses osteosarcoma proliferation and invasion via dual role in tumor cells and tumor microenvironment. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1158857. [PMID: 37361567 PMCID: PMC10286821 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1158857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Tumor progression is driven by intrinsic malignant behaviors caused by gene mutation or epigenetic modulation, as well as crosstalk with the components in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Considering the current understanding of the tumor microenvironment, targeting the immunomodulatory stromal cells such as cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) could provide a potential therapeutic strategy. Here, we investigated the effect of sulfatinib, a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) of FGFR1, CSF1R, and VEGFR1-3, on the treatment of osteosarcoma (OS). Methods In vitro, the antitumor effect was tested by clony formation assay and apoptosis assay.The inhibition of tumor migration and invasion was detected by Transwell assay, and the de-polarization of macrophage was detected by flow cytometry.In vivo, subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor models were established to verify antitumor effect, and the underlying mechanism was verified by immunohistochemistry(IHC), immunofluorescence(IF) and flow cytometry. Results Sulfatinib suppressed OS cell migration and invasion by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by blocking the secretion of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in an autocrine manner. In addition, it regulated immune TME via inhibition of the migration of skeletal stem cells (SSCs) to the TME and the differentiation from SSCs to CAFs. Moreover, sulfatinib can suppress OS by modulation of the TME by inhibiting M2 polarization of macrophages. Systemic treatment of sulfatinib can reduce immunosuppression cells M2-TAMs, Tregs, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and increase cytotoxic T-cell infiltration in tumors, the lungs, and the spleens. Discussion Our preclinical experiments have shown that sulfatinib can inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OS by playing a dual role on tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment simultaneously and systematically reverse immunosuppression to immune activation status, which could be translated into clinical trials.

Development of nintedanib nanosuspension for inhaled treatment of experimental silicosis. Bioeng Transl Med 2023; 8:e10401. [PMID: 36925690 PMCID: PMC10013831 DOI: 10.1002/btm2.10401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Silicosis is an irreversible and progressive fibrotic lung disease caused by massive inhalation of crystalline silica dust at workplaces, affecting millions of industrial workers worldwide. A tyrosine kinase inhibitor, nintedanib (NTB), has emerged as a potential silicosis treatment due to its inhibitory effects on key signaling pathways that promote silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis. However, chronic and frequent use of the oral NTB formulation clinically approved for treating other fibrotic lung diseases often results in significant side effects. To this end, we engineered a nanocrystal-based suspension formulation of NTB (NTB-NS) possessing specific physicochemical properties to enhance drug retention in the lung for localized treatment of silicosis via inhalation. Our NTB-NS formulation was prepared using a wet-milling procedure in presence of Pluronic F127 to endow the formulation with nonadhesive surface coatings to minimize interactions with therapy-inactivating delivery barriers in the lung. We found that NTB-NS, following intratracheal administration, provided robust anti-fibrotic effects and mechanical lung function recovery in a mouse model of silicosis, whereas a 100-fold greater oral NTB dose given with a triple dosing frequency failed to do so. Importantly, several key pathological phenotypes were fully normalized by NTB-NS without displaying notable local or systemic adverse effects. Overall, NTB-NS may open a new avenue for localized treatment of silicosis and potentially other fibrotic lung diseases.

Abstract
Background: Leukemia is a malignant disease that threatens human health and life. Nano-delivery systems improve drug solubility, bioavailability, and blood circulation time, and release drugs selectively at desired sites using targeting or sensing strategies. As drug carriers, they could improve therapeutic outcomes while reducing systemic toxicity. They have also shown promise in improving leukemia detection and diagnosis. The study aimed to assess the potential of nanotechnology-based diagnostics and therapeutics in preclinical human acute lymphoblastic leukemia (h-ALL). Methods: We performed a systematic search through April 2022. Articles written in English reporting the toxicity, efficacy, and safety of nanotechnology-based drugs (in the aspect of treatment) and specificity, limit of detection (LOD), or sensitivity (in the aspect of the detection field) in preclinical h-ALL were included. The study was performed according to PRISMA instructions. The methodological quality was assessed using the QualSyst tool. Results: A total of 63 original articles evaluating nanotechnology-based therapeutics and 35 original studies evaluating nanotechnology-based diagnostics were included in this review. As therapeutics in ALL, nanomaterials offer controlled release, targeting or sensing ligands, targeted gene therapy, photodynamic therapy and photothermic therapy, and reversal of multidrug-resistant ALL. A narrative synthesis of studies revealed that nanoparticles improve the ratio of efficacy to the toxicity of anti-leukemic drugs. They have also been developed as a vehicle for biomolecules (such as antibodies) that can help detect and monitor leukemic biomarkers. Therefore, nanomaterials can help with early diagnostics and personalized treatment of ALL. Conclusion: This review discussed nanotechnology-based preclinical strategies to achieve ALL diagnosis and therapy advancement. This involves modern drug delivery apparatuses and detection devices for prompt and targeted disease diagnostics. Nonetheless, we are yet in the experimental phase and investigational stage in the field of nanomedicine, with many features remained to be discovered as well as numerous problems to be solved.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective drug molecules for the treatment of various cancers. Nanomedicinal interventions and approaches may not only provide carrying capacities for TKIs but also potentially target tumor-specific environments and even cellular compartments. Nano-inspired drug delivery systems may hence enhance the efficacy of the drugs through enhanced tumour-availability resulting in greater efficacy and decreased side effects. A variety of nanosystems have been developed for the delivery of TKIs for the enhanced treatment of cancers, each with their own preparation methods and physicochemical properties. This review will therefore discuss the applicability of nano-interventions towards combination therapies, dose reduction, and greater potential treatment outcomes. The individual nanosystems have been highlighted with emphasis on the developed systems and their efficacy against various cancer cell lines and models.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a mesenchymal-origin tumor that constitutes the most common primary malignant bone tumor. The survival rate of the patients has significantly improved since the introduction of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and extensive resection, but it has stagnated in recent 40 years. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have played a key part in the treatment of malignant tumors. In advanced OS, TKIs including anlotinib, apatinib, sorafenib, etc. have significantly improved the progression-free survival of patients, while the overall survival remains unchanged. The main reason is the rapid and inevitable progress of acquired drug resistance of OS. However, as the application of TKIs in OS and other tumors is still in the exploratory phase, its drug resistance mechanism and corresponding solutions are rarely reported. Hence, in this review, we summarize knowledge of the applications of TKIs, the mechanism of TKIs resistance, and the attempts to overcome TKIs resistance in OS, which are the three potentially novel insights of TKIs in OS. Because most evidence is derived from studies using animal and cell models, we also reviewed clinical trials and related bioinformatics data available in public databases, which partially improved our understanding of TKIs applications.

Abstract
According to the WHO, cancer caused almost 10 million deaths worldwide in 2020, i.e., almost one in six deaths. Among the most common are breast, lung, colon and rectal and prostate cancers. Although the diagnosis is more perfect and spectrum of available drugs is large, there is a clear trend of an increase in cancer that ends fatally. A major advance in treatment was the introduction of gentler antineoplastics for targeted therapy-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Although they have undoubtedly revolutionized oncology and hematology, they have significant side effects and limited efficacy. In addition to the design of new TKIs with improved pharmacokinetic and safety profiles, and being more resistant to the development of drug resistance, high expectations are placed on the reformulation of TKIs into various drug delivery lipid-based nanosystems. This review provides an insight into the history of chemotherapy, a brief overview of the development of TKIs for the treatment of cancer and their mechanism of action and summarizes the results of the applications of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems, nanoemulsions, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers used as drug delivery systems of TKIs obtained in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Osimertinib (OB) is a third-generation irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer. Systemic administration of drug often results in poor drug levels at the primary tumor in the lungs and is associated with systemic side effects. In this study, we developed inhalable OB liposomes that can locally accumulate at the tumor site thereby limiting systemic toxicity. OB was loaded into liposomes via active and passive loading methods. The OB active liposomes achieved a higher encapsulation (78%) compared to passive liposomes (25%). The liposomes (passive and active) exhibited excellent aerosolization performance with an aerodynamic diameter of 4 µm and fine particle fraction of 82%. In H1975 cells, OB active and passive liposomes reduced IC50 by 2.2 and 1.2-fold, respectively, compared to free drug. As the OB active liposomes demonstrated higher cytotoxicity compared to OB passive liposomes, they were further investigated for in vitro anti-cancer activity. The OB active liposomes inhibited tumor cell migration and colonization as determined by the scratch assay and clonogenic assay, respectively. Furthermore, the 3D spheroid studies showed that the liposomes were successful in inhibiting tumor growth. These results highlight the potential of OB liposomes to suppress lung cancer. Owing to these attributes, the inhalable OB liposomes can potentially promote better therapeutic outcomes with limited systemic toxicity.

Abstract
α-N-Heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones such as triapine and COTI-2 are currently investigated as anticancer therapeutics in clinical trials. However, triapine was widely inactive against solid tumor types. A likely explanation is the short plasma half-life time and fast metabolism. One promising approach to overcome these drawbacks is the encapsulation of the drug into nanoparticles (passive drug-targeting). In a previous work we showed that it was not possible to stably encapsulate free triapine into liposomes. Hence, in this manuscript we present the successful preparation of liposomal formulations of the copper(II) complexes of triapine and COTI-2. To this end, various drug-loading strategies were examined and the resulting liposomes were physico-chemically characterized. Especially for liposomal Cu-triapine, a decent encapsulation efficacy and a slow drug release behavior could be observed. In contrast, for COTI-2 and its copper(II) complex no stable loading could be achieved. Subsequent in vitro studies in different cell lines with liposomal Cu-triapine showed the expected strongly reduced cytotoxicity and DNA damage induction. Also in vivo distinctly higher copper plasma levels and a continuous release could be observed for the liposomal formulation compared to free Cu-triapine. Taken together, the here presented nanoformulation of Cu-triapine is an important step further to increase the plasma half-life time and tumor targeting properties of anticancer thiosemicarbazones.

[PMID: 34274537 PMCID: PMC8571169 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymthe.2021.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Revised: 06/10/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
FGFR3-TACC3 (F3-T3) gene fusions are regarded as a "low-hanging fruit" paradigm for precision therapy in human glioblastoma (GBM). Small molecules designed to target the kinase in FGFR currently serve as one form of potential treatment but cause off-target effects and toxicity. Here, CRISPR-Cas13a, which is known to directly suppress gene expression at the transcriptional level and induce a collateral effect in eukaryotes, was leveraged as a possible precision therapy in cancer cells harboring F3-T3 fusion genes. A library consisting of crRNAs targeting the junction site of F3-T3 was designed, and an in silico simulation scheme was created to select the optimal crRNA candidates. An optimal crRNA, crRNA1, showed efficiency and specificity in inducing the collateral effect in only U87 cells expressing F3-T3 (U87-F3-T3). Expression profiles obtained with microarray analysis were consistent with induction of the collateral effect by the CRISPR-Cas13a system. Tumor cell proliferation and colony formation were decreased in U87-F3-T3 cells expressing the Cas13a-based tool, and tumor growth was suppressed in an orthotopic tumor model in mice. These findings demonstrate that the CRISPR-Cas13a system induces the collateral damage effect in cancer cells and provides a viable strategy for precision tumor therapy based on the customized design of a CRISPR-Cas13a-based tool against F3-T3 fusion genes.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is an important application in modern cancer therapy. In comparison with conventional drug formulations, nanoparticles ensure better penetration into the tumor mass by exploiting the enhanced permeability and retention effect, longer blood circulation times by a reduced renal excretion and a decrease in side effects and drug accumulation in healthy tissues. The most significant classes of nanoparticles (i.e., liposomes, inorganic and organic nanoparticles) are here discussed with a particular focus on their use as delivery systems for small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). A number of these new compounds (e.g., Imatinib, Dasatinib, Ponatinib) have been approved as first-line therapy in different cancer types but their clinical use is limited by poor solubility and oral bioavailability. Consequently, new nanoparticle systems are necessary to ameliorate formulations and reduce toxicity. In this review, some of the most important TKIs are reported, focusing on ongoing clinical studies, and the recent drug delivery systems for these molecules are investigated.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a family of macrocyclic oligosaccharides mostly composed of six, seven, or eight α-D-glucopyranose units with α-1,4-glycosidic bonds to form toroidal structures. The CDs possess a hydrophilic exterior and hydrophobic interior with the ability to form an inclusion complex, especially with hydrophobic molecules. However, most existing studies are about conjugation CDs with peptide/protein focusing on the formation of new systems. The CD-peptide/protein can possess new abilities; particularly, the cavity can be applied in modulation properties of more complexed proteins. Most studies are focused on drug delivery, such as targeted delivery in cell-penetrating peptides or co-delivery. The co-delivery is based mostly on polylysine systems; on the other hand, the CD-peptide allows us to understand biomolecular mechanisms such as fibryllation or stem cell behaviour. Moreover, the CD-proteins are more complexed systems with a focus on targeted therapy; these conjugates might be controllable with various properties due to changes in their stability. Finally, the studies of CD-peptide/protein are promising in biomedical application and provide new possibilities for the conjugation of simple molecules to biomolecules.

Abstract
Progress in the field of precision medicine has changed the landscape of cancer therapy. Precision medicine is propelled by technologies that enable molecular profiling, genomic analysis, and optimized drug design to tailor treatments for individual patients. Although precision medicines have resulted in some clinical successes, the use of many potential therapeutics has been hindered by pharmacological issues, including toxicities and drug resistance. Drug delivery materials and approaches have now advanced to a point where they can enable the modulation of a drug's pharmacological parameters without compromising the desired effect on molecular targets. Specifically, they can modulate a drug's pharmacokinetics, stability, absorption, and exposure to tumours and healthy tissues, and facilitate the administration of synergistic drug combinations. This Review highlights recent progress in precision therapeutics and drug delivery, and identifies opportunities for strategies to improve the therapeutic index of cancer drugs, and consequently, clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Recent progress in nanomedicine and targeted therapy brings new breeze into the field of therapeutic applications of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). These drugs are known for many side effects due to non-targeted mechanism of action that negatively impact quality of patients' lives or that are responsible for failure of the drugs in clinical trials. Some nanocarrier properties provide improvement of drug efficacy, reduce the incidence of adverse events, enhance drug bioavailability, helps to overcome the blood-brain barrier, increase drug stability or allow for specific delivery of TKIs to the diseased cells. Moreover, nanotechnology can bring new perspectives into combination therapy, which can be highly efficient in connection with TKIs. Lastly, nanotechnology in combination with TKIs can be utilized in the field of theranostics, i.e. for simultaneous therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. The review provides a comprehensive overview of advantages and future prospects of conjunction of nanotransporters with TKIs as a highly promising approach to anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Background As a malignant tumor, the progression of osteosarcoma (OS) is mediated by multiple regulators, including circular RNAs (circRNAs). However, the role of circ_0000885 in OS is unclear. Materials and Methods Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied to detect the expression of circ_0000885, miR-1294 and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1). Cell proliferation was evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and colony formation assay. Flow cytometry and transwell assay were employed to determine the cell cycle distribution, cell migration and invasion, respectively. Moreover, the relationship between miR-1294 and circ_0000885 or FGFR1 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The protein level of FGFR1 was assessed via Western blot (WB) analysis. Animal experiments were used to verify the effect of circ_0000885 silencing on OS tumor growth in vivo. Results Circ_0000885 level was increased in OS tissues and cells. Knockdown of circ_0000885 repressed the proliferation, migration, invasion and induced cell cycle arrest in OS cells. There was a binding relationship between miR-1294 and circ_0000885, and miR-1294 inhibitor could reverse the inhibitory effect of silenced circ_0000885 on OS progression. MiR-1294 could target FGFR1, and overexpressed FGFR1 could invert the suppression effect of miR-1294 mimic on OS progression. Silencing of circ_0000885 hindered FGFR1 expression, while this effect could be recovered by miR-1294 inhibitor. In addition, circ_0000885 knockdown reduced OS tumor growth via regulating the FGFR1 expression by sponging miR-1294 in vivo. Conclusion Circ_0000885 played an active role in OS progression, indicating that it might be a potential target for OS therapy.

Abstract
The primary conclusions of our 2014 contribution to this series were as follows: Multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) likely contribute to aggressive phenotypes in osteosarcoma and, therefore, inhibition of multiple RTKs is likely necessary for successful clinical outcomes. Inhibition of multiple RTKs may also be useful to overcome resistance to inhibitors of individual RTKs as well as resistance to conventional chemotherapies. Different combinations of RTKs are likely important in individual patients. AXL, EPHB2, FGFR2, IGF1R, and RET were identified as promising therapeutic targets by our in vitro phosphoproteomic/siRNA screen of 42 RTKs in the highly metastatic LM7 and 143B human osteosarcoma cell lines. This chapter is intended to provide an update on these topics as well as the large number of osteosarcoma clinical studies of inhibitors of multiple tyrosine kinases (multi-TKIs) that were recently published.

Abstract
Knowledge of intracellular pharmacokinetics of anticancer agents is imperative for understanding drug efficacy as well as intrinsic and acquired cellular resistance mechanisms. However, the factors driving subcellular drug distribution are complex and poorly understood. Here, we describe for the first time the intrinsic fluorescence properties of the fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitor PD1703074 as well as utilization of this physicochemical feature to investigate intracellular accumulation and compartmentalization of this compound in human lung cancer cells. Cell-free PD173074 fluorescence, intracellular accumulation and distribution were investigated using analytical chemistry and molecular biology approaches. Analyses on a subcellular scale revealed selective drug accumulation in lysosomes. Coincubation with inhibitors of lysosomal acidification strongly enhanced PD173074-mediated fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibition and cytotoxicity. In conclusion, intrinsic fluorescence enables analysis of molecular factors influencing intracellular pharmacokinetics of PD173074. Lysosome-alkalinizing agents might represent candidates for rational combination treatment, preventing cancer cell-intrinsic PD173074 resistance based on lysosomal trapping.
