Abstract
Various chemotherapeutic agents are used to treat breast cancer (BC); one of them is the anthracycline antibiotic doxorubicin (Dox), which, in addition to its cytostatic effect, has serious side effects. In order to reduce its negative impact on healthy organs and tissues and to increase its accumulation in tumors, Dox was incorporated into phospholipid nanoparticles. The additional use of vector molecules for targeted delivery to specific targets can increase the effectiveness of Dox due to higher accumulation of the active substance in the tumor tissue. The integrin αvβ3, which plays an important role in cancer angiogenesis, and the folic acid receptor, which is responsible for cell differentiation and proliferation, have been considered in this study as targets for such vector molecules. Thus, a phospholipid composition of Dox containing two vector ligands, cRGD peptide and folic acid (NPh-Dox-cRGD-Fol(3,4)), was prepared. Study of the physical properties of the developed composition NPh-Dox-cRGD-Fol(3,4) showed that the average particle size was 39.62±4.61 nm, the ζ-potential value was 4.17±0.83 mV. Almost all Dox molecules were incorporated into phospholipid nanoparticles (99.85±0.21%). The simultaneous use of two vectors in the composition led to an increase in the Dox accumulation in MDA-MB-231 BC cells by almost 20% as compared to compositions containing each vector separately (folic acid or the cRGD peptide). Moreover, the degree of Dox internalization was 22% and 24% higher than in the case of separate use of folic acid and cRGD peptide, respectively. The cytotoxic effect on MDA-MB-231 cells was higher during incubations with the compositions containing folic acid as a single vector (NPh-Dox-Fol(3,4)) and together with the RGD peptide (NPh-Dox-cRGD-Fol(3,4)). Experiments on the Wi-38 diploid fibroblast cell line have shown a significantly lower degree of cytotoxic effect of the phospholipid composition, regardless of the presence of the vector molecules in it, as compared to free Dox. The results obtained indicate the potential of using two vectors in one phospholipid composition for targeted delivery of Dox.

Effect of an NGR Peptide on the Efficacy of the Doxorubicin Phospholipid Delivery System. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2229. [PMID: 37570547 PMCID: PMC10420982 DOI: 10.3390/nano13152229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
This study is a continuation of an investigation into the effect of a targeted component, a peptide with an NGR, on the properties of the previously developed doxorubicin phospholipid delivery system. The NGR peptide has an affinity for aminopeptidase N (known as the CD13 marker on the membrane surface of tumor cells) and has been extensively used to target drug delivery systems. This article presents the results of a study investigating the physical properties of the phospholipid composition with and without the peptide chain: particle size, zeta potential, stability in fluids, and dependence of doxorubicin release from nanoparticles at different pH levels (5.0, 6.5, 7.4). The cytotoxic effect of the compositions has also been shown to depend on the dose of the drug used for incubation, the presence of the targeted component in the composition, and the time of incubation time of the substances. There was a significant difference in the cytotoxic effect on HT-1080 (CD13-positive) and MCF-7 (CD13-negative) cells. Cell death pathway analysis has shown that death occurred mainly by apoptosis. We also present data on the effect of doxorubicin embedded in phospholipid nanoparticles with the targeted peptide on DNA assessed by differential pulse voltammetry, the mechanism of action being electrostatic interactions. The interactions of native dsDNA with doxorubicin encapsulated in phospholipid nanoparticles with the targeted peptide were studied electrochemically by differential pulse voltammetry. Here, we have highlighted that the targeted peptide in the doxorubicin composition moved specific interaction of the drug with dsDNA from intercalative mode to electrostatic interactions.

Abstract
The review highlights the safety issues of drug delivery systems based on liposomes. Due to their small sizes (about 80-120 nm, sometimes even smaller), phospholipid nanoparticles interact intensively with living systems during parenteral administration. This interaction significantly affects both their transport role and safety; therefore, special attention is paid to these issues. The review summarises the data on the basic factors affecting the safety of nanoliposomes: composition, size, surface charge, stability, the release of an incorporated drug, penetration into tissues, interaction with the complement system. Attention is paid to the authors' own research of unique phospholipid nanoparticles with a diameter of 20-30 nm. The influence of technological processes of nanoliposome production on their properties is considered. The article also discusses the modern safety assessment criteria contained in the preliminary regulatory documents of the manufacturing countries for new nanoliposome-based drugs being developed or used in the clinic.

Abstract
Preclinical study of therapeutic properties of an innovative drug Doxorubicin-NPh (doxorubicin in the form of ultrafine suspension of phospholipid liposomes) in comparison with free doxorubicin (Doxorubicin-Teva) and protected doxorubicin (Caelyx) was performed on transplanted murine tumor models. All these drugs were efficient in Ca755 breast carcinoma model (tumor growth inhibition ≈100%, increase in lifespan 90.6-114.3%). In P388 lymphocytic leukemia and LLC lung carcinoma, advantages of the protected doxorubicin by the benefit/risk ratio (width of therapeutic interval) were demonstrated: Caelyx>Doxorubicin-NPh>Doxorubicin-Teva. Doxorubicin-NPh and Caelyx exhibited similar therapeutic activity in the LLC model, especially when administered 3 times with 3-day intervals; for Doxorubicin-Teva, the optimal interval between the injections was 7 days.

Abstract
Along with modern new drugs, many therapeutic schemes also include known effective drugs, particularly, glucocorticoids. One of the most distributed of them is prednisolone that has pronounced anti-inflammatory properties. Its disadvantage is short-term circulation, resulting in a number of side effects. For this reason the development of its more effective and safe formulations is carried out. We have obtained the formulation of prednisolone included in nanoparticles from soy phosphatidylcholine with an average diameter of 20 nm. With oral administration to rats and analysis by HPLC an increase in prednisolone maximal concentration in of plasma and the duration of circulation as compared with free drug administration were shown. The experiment with mice with conconavalin A induced inflammation was also carried out: conconavalin A was injected subplantary in an hour after oral administration of both prednisolone formulations in several doses. The index of the inflammatory reaction (determined by the edema degree) was suppressed more effectively in the case of prednisolone in nanoparticles. Maximal suppression (62.2% as compared with 49.6% for free prednisolone) was observed even at a minimal dose (2.5 mg/kg), at which the free drug did not act at all. The results indicate an increase in the efficiency of prednisolone included in phospholipid nanoparticles, that makes it possible to diminish its administered doses and thereby reduce the risk of side effects.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an advanced method of treating cancer and various benign diseases, including infections. It uses light-activated molecules [photosensitizers (PSs)] to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) when irradiated with light of a specific wavelength. This study examined the photophysical and photosensitizing activity of the PS chlorin e6 incorporated in a delivery system based on plant phospholipids. This new nanoform of chlorin e6 comprised particles with a diameter of 18.4 ± 2.5 nm and zeta potential of -34.6 ± 3.0 mV. Incorporation of chlorin e6 in phospholipid nanoparticles was observed to cause a bathochromic shift of Q-band absorption maximum by 14 nm without an absorption change in the range of the Soret band. Fluorescence intensity of chlorin e6 embedded in the phospholipid nanoparticles increased 1.7-fold. Chlorin e6 in phospholipid nanoparticles, when irradiated, was able to generate ROS as shown by oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids of the phospholipid matrix of the delivery system and reduced l-glutathione. In vivo it was demonstrated that the new nanoform of chlorin e6 provides more accumulation of PSs in tumor tissue than its free form. Moreover, its accumulation in the skin was lower and its elimination from the skin almost five times faster than when administered in free form. The observed differences of this new nanoform of chlorin e6 should lead to enhancement of antitumor efficacy and a decrease in phototoxicity.
