Abstract
Abstract:
Cancer is one of the main reasons for mortality worldwide. Chemotherapeutic agents have been effectively designed to increase certain patients' survival rates, but ordinarily designed chemotherapeutic agents necessarily deliver toxic chemotherapeutic drugs to healthy tissues, resulting in serious side effects. Cancer cells can often acquire drug resistance after repeated dosing of current chemotherapeutic agents, restricting their efficacy. Given such obstacles, investigators have attempted to distribute chemotherapeutic agents using targeted drug delivery systems (DDSs), especially nanotechnology-based DDSs. Lipid-Based Nanoparticles (LBNPs) are a large and complex class of substances that have been utilized to manage a variety of diseases, mostly cancer. Liposomes seem to be the most frequently employed LBNPs, owing to their high biocompatibility, bioactivity, stability, and flexibility; howbeit Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) and Non-structured Lipid Carriers (NLCs) have lately received a lot of interest. Besides that, there are several reports that concentrate on novel therapies via LBNPs to manage various forms of cancer. In the present research, the latest improvements in the application of LBNPs have been shown to deliver different therapeutic agents to cancerous cells and have been demonstrated LBNPs also can be a quite successful candidate in cancer therapy for subsequent use.

Abstract
Background:
The combination of two or more therapeutic drugs is an attractive approach
to improve the treatment of experimental tumors. Leveraging nanocarriers for combinational drug
delivery can allow control over drug biological fate and promote co-localization in the same area of
the body. However, there are certain concerns regarding the biodegradability and potential longterm
toxicity arising from these synthetic nanoscale carriers.
Objective:
Our aim was to develop a combinational nanodrug delivery system formed by selfassembling
of amphiphilic drug molecules.minimizing potential toxicities associated with using
additional synthetic nanocarriers.
Methods:
A novel prodrug chlorambucil gemcitabine conjugate was synthesized, this prodrug was
used for the encapsulation of an additional hydrophobic anticancer drug paclitaxel, taking the form
of combinational nanodrugs. Particle size and zeta potential were evaluated, cytotoxicity assay and
apoptosis/cell cycle analysis were also performed to validate the anticancer efficacy of the combinational
nanodrugs.
Results:
The combinational nanodrugs were acquired by means of nanoprecipitation. In A549 lung
adenocarcinoma cell line, cellular assays revealed that co-delivery of low dosage paclitaxel with
chlorambucil gemcitabine conjugate can act synergistically to inhibit cell growth and induce accumulation
of cells in the G2/M phase with a concomitant decrease in G0/G1 compartment.
Conclusion:
Chlorambucil gemcitabine conjugate and paclitaxel can co-assemble into composite
nanoparticles by a nanoprecipitation process and the resulting combinational nanodrugs showed a
synergistic anticancer effect. This synthetic nanocarrier-free approach might broaden the nanodrug
concept and have potential in cancer therapy.
