Abstract
Immuno-stimulative effect of chemotherapy (ISECT) is recognized as a potential alternative to conventional immunotherapies, however, the clinical application is constrained by its inefficiency. Metronomic chemotherapy, though designed to overcome these limitations, offers inconsistent results, with effectiveness varying based on cancer types, stages, and patient-specific factors. In parallel, a wealth of preclinical nanomaterials holds considerable promise for ISECT improvement by modulating the cancer-immunity cycle. In the area of biomedical nanomaterials, current literature reviews mainly concentrate on a specific category of nanomaterials and nanotechnological perspectives, while two essential issues are still lacking, i.e., a comprehensive analysis addressing the causes for ISECT inefficiency and a thorough summary elaborating the nanomaterials for ISECT improvement. This review thus aims to fill these gaps and catalyze further development in this field. For the first time, this review comprehensively discusses the causes of ISECT inefficiency. It then meticulously categorizes six types of nanomaterials for improving ISECT. Subsequently, practical strategies are further proposed for addressing inefficient ISECT, along with a detailed discussion on exemplary nanomedicines. Finally, this review provides insights into the challenges and perspectives for improving chemo-immunotherapy by innovations in nanomaterials.

Abstract
Cancer is a disease that can cause abnormal cell growth and can spread throughout the body. It is among the most significant causes of death worldwide, resulting in approx. 10 million deaths annually. Many synthetic anticancer drugs are available, but they often come with side effects and can interact negatively with other medications. Additionally, many chemotherapy drugs used for cancer treatment can develop resistance and harm normal cells, leading to dose-limiting side effects. As a result, finding effective cancer treatments and developing new drugs remains a significant challenge. However, plants are a potent source of natural products with the potential for cancer treatment. These biologically active compounds may be the basis for enhanced or less toxic derivatives. Herbal medicines/phytomedicines, or plant-based drugs, are becoming more popular in treating complicated diseases like cancer due to their effectiveness and are a particularly attractive option due to their affordability, availability, and lack of serious side effects. They have broad applicability and therapeutic efficacy, which has spurred scientific research into their potential as anticancer agents. This review focuses on Paclitaxel (PTX), a plant-based drug derived from Taxus sp., and its ability to treat specific tumors. PTX and its derivatives are effective against various cancer cell lines. Researchers can use this detailed information to develop effective and affordable treatments for cancer.

Abstract
Background Epithelial ovarian cancer is associated with high mortality due to diagnosis at later stages associated with peritoneal involvement. Several trials have evaluated the effect of intraperitoneal treatment. In this preclinical study, we report the efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intraperitoneal treatment with two approved nanomolecular formulations of paclitaxel (nab-PTX and mic-PTX) in a murine ovarian cancer xenograft model. Methods IC50 was determined in vitro on three ovarian cancer cell lines (OVCAR-3, SK-OV-3 and SK-OV-3-Luc IP1). EOC xenografts were achieved using a modified subperitoneal implantation technique. Drug treatment was initiated 2 weeks after engraftment, and tumor volume and survival were assessed. Pharmacokinetics and drug distribution effects were assessed using UHPLC-MS/MS and MALDI imaging mass spectrometry, respectively. Pharmacodynamic effects were analyzed using immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy using standard protocols. Results We demonstrated sub-micromolar IC50 concentrations for both formulations on three EOC cancer cell lines in vitro. Furthermore, IP administration of nab-PTX or mic-PTX lead to more than 2-fold longer survival compared to a control treatment of IP saline administration (30 days in controls, 66 days in nab-PTX treated animals, and 76 days in mic-PTX animals, respectively). We observed higher tissue uptake of drug following nab-PTX administration when compared to mic-PTX, with highest uptake after 4 hours post-treatment, and confirmed this lower uptake of mic-PTX using HPLC on digested tumor samples. Furthermore, apoptosis was not increased in tumor implants up to 24h post-treatment. Conclusion Intraperitoneal administration of both nab-PTX and mic-PTX results in a significant anticancer efficacy and survival benefit in a mouse OC xenograft model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Canine mammary gland cancer (CMGC) is a common neoplasm in intact bitches. However, the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-proliferative effects of paclitaxel on CMGC in in-vitro and in-vivo settings. RESULTS Paclitaxel dose-dependently inhibited viability and induced G2/M phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in both primary and metastatic CMGC cell lines (CIPp and CIPm). In animal experiments, the average tumour volume decreased significantly in proportion to the administered oral paclitaxel dose. By examining tumour tissue using a TUNEL assay and immunohistochemical staining with anti-CD31 as a marker of endothelial differentiation, respectively, it was confirmed that oral paclitaxel induced apoptosis and exerted an anti-angiogenetic effect in tumour tissues. Further, downregulation of cyclin D1 in tumour tissues suggested that oral paclitaxel induced cell cycle arrest in tumour tissues in-vivo. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that paclitaxel may have anti-cancer effects on CMGC through cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis, and anti-angiogenesis. This study could provide a novel approach to treat CMGC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Paclitaxel is associated with hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs). Intravenous premedication regimens have been devised to decrease the incidence and severity of HSRs. At our institution oral histamine 1 receptor antagonists (H1RA) and histamine 2 receptor antagonists (H2RA) were adopted as standard. Standardizations were implemented for consistent premedication use in all disease states. The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the incidence and severity of HSRs before and after standardization. METHODS Patients who received paclitaxel from 20 April 2018 to 8 December 2020 having an HSR were included in analysis. An infusion was flagged for review if a rescue medication was administered after the start of the paclitaxel infusion. The incidences of all HSR prior to and post-standardization were compared. A subgroup analysis of patients receiving paclitaxel for the first and second time was performed. RESULTS There were 3499infusions in the pre-standardization group and 1159infusions in the post-standardization group. After review, 100 HSRs pre-standardization and 38 HSRs post-standardization were confirmed reactions. The rate of overall HSRs was 2.9% in the pre-standardization group and 3.3% in the post-standardization group (p = 0.48). HSRs, during the first and second doses of paclitaxel, occurred in 10.2% of the pre-standardization and 8.5% of the post-standardization group (p = 0.55). CONCLUSIONS This retrospective interventional study demonstrated that same-day intravenous dexamethasone, oral H1RA, and oral H2RA are safe premedication regimens for paclitaxel. No change in the severity of reactions was seen. Overall, better adherence to premedication administration was seen post-standardization.

Abstract
PURPOSE There are four kinds of taxanes: solvent-based paclitaxel (Sb-P), liposomal paclitaxel (Lps-P), nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (Nab-P), and docetaxel. This study aims to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy of different taxanes on neoadjuvant systemic treatment (NST) in breast cancer. METHODS Patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer and had received integral NST from August 2013 to April 2022 were enrolled. The efficacy was divided into total pathological complete response (total-pCR), breast pathological complete response (breast-pCR), and axillary pathological complete response (axillary-pCR) for in-depth analysis and discussion. RESULTS The choice of taxane was an independent risk factor for total-pCR and breast-pCR rates. The highest total-pCR and breast-pCR rates were found in the Nab-P group. The difference was not significant among all the taxanes in the axillary-pCR rate. CONCLUSION Nab-P significantly improved the total-pCR and breast-pCR rates. It should be the first choice among taxanes in NST for breast cancer.

Abstract
Maleimide-containing prodrugs can quickly and selectively react with circulating serum albumin following their injection in the bloodstream. The drug-albumin complex then benefits from longer blood circulation times and better tumor accumulation. Herein, we have applied this strategy to a previously reported highly phototoxic Ru polypyridyl complex-based photosensitizer to increase its accumulation at the tumor, reduce off-target cytotoxicity, and therefore improve its pharmacological profile. Specifically, two complexes were synthesized bearing a maleimide group: one complex with the maleimide directly incorporated into the bipyridyl ligand, and the other has a hydrophilic linker between the ligand and the maleimide group. Their interaction with albumin was studied in-depth, revealing their ability to efficiently bind both covalently and noncovalently to the plasma protein. A crucial finding is that the maleimide-functionalized complexes exhibited significantly lower cytotoxicity in noncancerous cells under dark conditions compared to the nonfunctionalized complex, which is a highly desirable property for a photosensitizer. The binding to albumin also led to a decrease in the phototoxicity of the Ru bioconjugates in comparison to the nonfunctionalized complex, probably due to a decreased cellular uptake. Unfortunately, this decrease in phototoxicity was not compensated by a dramatic increase in tumor accumulation, as was demonstrated in a tumor-bearing mouse model using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) studies. Consequently, this study provides valuable insight into the future design of in situ albumin-binding complexes for photodynamic therapy in order to maximize their effectiveness and realize their full potential.

Abstract
Taxanes (paclitaxel and docetaxel) are one of the most useful classes of anticancer drugs. Taxanes are highly hydrophobic; therefore, these drugs must be dissolved in organic solvents (polysorbate or Cremophor EL), which contribute to their toxicities. To reduce this toxicity and to enhance their efficacy, novel formulations have been developed. Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) is an albumin-stabilized, Cremophor-free, and water-soluble nanoparticle formulation of paclitaxel. Nab-paclitaxel has better solubility and less infusion-associated toxicity compared to solvent-based paclitaxel. Additionally, nab-paclitaxel can be given at higher doses and concentrations compared with solvent-based paclitaxel. Based on its superior clinical efficacy and safety profile, nab-paclitaxel received FDA approval for metastatic breast cancer (2008) and NSCLC (2011). Among gastrointestinal cancers, it is now approved in the USA for treating patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas as first-line therapy in combination with gemcitabine. Furthermore, several clinical trials have suggested the potential efficacy of nab-paclitaxel as a single agent or in combination with other agents for the treatment of metastatic esophageal, gastric, bowel, and biliary tract cancers. Nab-paclitaxel has been demonstrated to have greater overall response rates (ORR) with enhanced progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and a superior safety profile with fewer adverse effects in patients with gastrointestinal tract cancers. This review summarizes the advantages associated with nab-paclitaxel-based regimens in terms of improving clinical efficacy and the safety profile in upper gastrointestinal cancer.

Abstract
This work aims to apply water radiolysis-mediated green synthesis of amphiphilic core–shell water-soluble chitosan nanoparticles (WCS NPs) via free radical graft copolymerization in an aqueous solution using irradiation. Robust grafting poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate (PEGMA) comb-like brushes were established onto WCS NPs modified with hydrophobic deoxycholic acid (DC) using two aqueous solution systems, i.e., pure water and water/ethanol. The degree of grafting (DG) of the robust grafted poly(PEGMA) segments was varied from 0 to ~250% by varying radiation-absorbed doses from 0 to 30 kGy. Using reactive WCS NPs as a water-soluble polymeric template, a high amount of DC conjugation and a high degree of poly(PEGMA) grafted segments brought about high moieties of hydrophobic DC and a high DG of the poly(PEGMA) hydrophilic functions; meanwhile, the water solubility and NP dispersion were also markedly improved. The DC-WCS-PG building block was excellently self-assembled into the core–shell nanoarchitecture. The DC-WCS-PG NPs efficiently encapsulated water-insoluble anticancer and antifungal drugs, i.e., paclitaxel (PTX) and berberine (BBR) (~360 mg/g). The DC-WCS-PG NPs met the role of controlled release with a pH-responsive function due to WCS compartments, and they showed a steady state for maintaining drugs for up to >10 days. The DC-WCS-PG NPs prolonged the inhibition capacity of BBR against the growth of S. ampelinum for 30 days. In vitro cytotoxicity results of the PTX-loaded DC-WCS-PG NPs with human breast cancer cells and human skin fibroblast cells proved the role of the DC-WCS-PG NPs as a promising nanoplatform for controlling drug release and reducing the side effects of the drugs on normal cells.

Abstract
Aim: To develop stable paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles (BSA-NPs-PTX) as drug-delivery vehicles for delivering paclitaxel into the brain to treat glioma. Methods: This study used PTX-loaded BSA NPs coated with polysorbate 80 (Ps 80) to enhance PTX concentration in the brain. Results: The low IC50 indicated that the fabricated BSA-NPs-PTX and BSA-NPs-PTX-Ps 80 showed significantly enhanced cytotoxicity. The pharmacokinetic and biodistribution analysis of BSA-NPs-PTX and BSA-NPs-PTX 80 showed comparable pharmacokinetic profiles but were significantly different compared with free PTX. Conclusion: BSA-NPs-PTX-Ps 80 exhibited higher plasma concentration-time curves, as compared with BSA-NPs-PTX and PTX. BSA-NPs-PTX and BSA-NPs-PTX-Ps 80 showed significantly improved PTX distribution in the frontal cortex, posterior brain and cerebellum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus platinum as first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer (OC). METHODS Patients administered platinum combined with nab-paclitaxel as first-line chemotherapy for epithelial OC, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer from July 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). Adverse events (AEs) were examined. Subgroup analysis was performed. RESULTS Seventy-two patients (median age, 54.5 years; range, 20.0-79.0 years) were evaluated, including 12 and 60 administered neoadjuvant therapy and primary surgery with subsequent chemotherapy, respectively. The median follow-up duration was 25.6 months, and the median PFS was 26.7 (95% confidence interval [CI]=24.0-29.3) months in the whole patient population. In the neoadjuvant subgroup, the median PFS was 26.7 (95% CI=22.9-30.5) months vs. 30.1 (95% CI=23.1-37.1) months in the primary surgery subgroup. Twenty-seven patients were administered nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin and had a median PFS of 30.3 (95% CI=not available [NA]-NA) months. The commonest grade 3-4 AEs included anemia (15.3%), white blood cell decreased (11.1%), and neutrophil count decreased (20.8%). No drug-related hypersensitivity reactions occurred. CONCLUSION Nab-paclitaxel plus platinum as first-line treatment in OC was associated with a favorable prognosis and was tolerable in patients with OC.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality. As a heterogeneous disease, it has different subtypes and various treatment modalities. In addition to conventional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy have also been applied in the clinics. However, drug resistance and systemic toxicity still cannot be avoided. Based on the unique properties of nanoparticles, it provides a new idea for lung cancer therapy, especially for targeted immunotherapy. When nanoparticles are used as carriers of drugs with special physical properties, the nanodrug delivery system ensures the accuracy of targeting and the stability of drugs while increasing the permeability and the aggregation of drugs in tumor tissues, showing good anti-tumor effects. This review introduces the properties of various nanoparticles including polymer nanoparticles, liposome nanoparticles, quantum dots, dendrimers, and gold nanoparticles and their applications in tumor tissues. In addition, the specific application of nanoparticle-based drug delivery for lung cancer therapy in preclinical studies and clinical trials is discussed.

Abstract
Targeting the colchicine binding site on tubulin is a promising strategy to develop cancer therapeutics. Herein, we describe our systematic structure-activity relationship studies of benzamide derivatives that lead to an identification of a potent and orally active tubulin inhibitor 48, which occupied all three zones of the colchicine binding site in the X-ray co-crystal structure, inhibited tubulin polymerization, promoted mitotic blockade and apoptosis, and exhibited significant antiproliferative activities against various cancer cell lines. Compound 48 demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetic profiles, robust in vivo antitumor efficacies, and acceptable safety profiles. Furthermore, 48 overcame drug resistance in the paclitaxel-resistant A549 xenograft model. Collectively, 48 has been advanced into further preclinical evaluation for the development of next-generation microtubule-targeting drugs.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27227914.

Abstract
A brand-new nano-crystal (NC) version of the hydrophobic drug Paclitaxel (PT) were formulated for cancer treatment. A stable NC formulation for the administration of PT was created using the triblock co-polymer Pluronic F127. To achieve maximum entrapment effectiveness and minimal particle size, the formulation was improved using the central composite design by considering agitation speed and vacuum pressure at five levels (coded as +1.414, +1, 0, -1, and -1.414). According to the Design Expert software's predictions, 13 runs were created and evaluated for the chosen responses. The formulation prepared with an agitation speed of 1260 RPM and a vacuum pressure of 77.53 mbar can meet the requirements of the ideal formulation in order to achieve 142.56 nm of PS and 75.18% EE, according to the level of desirability (D = 0.959). Folic acid was conjugated to Pluronic F127 to create folate receptor-targeted NC. The drug release profile of the nano-crystals in vitro demonstrated sustained release over an extended period. Folate receptor (FR)-targeted NC (O-PT-NC-Folate) has also been prepared by conjugating folic acid to Pluronic F127. MTT test is used to validate the targeting efficacy on the FR-positive human oral cancer cell line (KB). At pharmacologically relevant concentrations, the PT nano-crystal formulation did not cause hemolysis. Compared to non-targeted NC of PT, the O-PT-NC-Folate showed a comparable but more sustained anti-cancer effect, according to an in vivo anti-tumor investigation in NCI/ADR-RES cell lines. The remarkable anti-tumor effectiveness, minimal toxicity, and simplicity of scale-up manufacturing of the NC formulations indicate their potential for clinical development. Other hydrophobic medications that are formulated into nano-systems for improved therapy may benefit from the formulation approach.

Abstract
Nature is the largest pharmacy in the world. Doxorubicin (DOX) and paclitaxel (PTX) are two examples of natural-product-derived drugs employed as first-line treatment of various cancer types due to their broad mechanisms of action. These drugs are marketed as conventional and nanotechnology-based formulations, which is quite curious since the research and development (R&D) course of nanoformulations are even more expensive and prone to failure than the conventional ones. Nonetheless, nanosystems are cost-effective and represent both novel and safer dosage forms with fewer side effects due to modification of pharmacokinetic properties and tissue targeting. In addition, nanotechnology-based drugs can contribute to dose modulation, reversion of multidrug resistance, and protection from degradation and early clearance; can influence the mechanism of action; and can enable drug administration by alternative routes and co-encapsulation of multiple active agents for combined chemotherapy. In this review, we discuss the contribution of nanotechnology as an enabling technology taking the clinical use of DOX and PTX as examples. We also present other nanoformulations approved for clinical practice containing different anticancer natural-product-derived drugs.

Abstract
Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein, exhibits extended circulating half-life, and its properties have long been exploited for diagnostics and therapies. Many drugs intrinsically bind albumin or have been designed to do so, yet questions remain about true rate limiting factors that govern albumin-based transport and their pharmacological impacts, particularly in advanced solid cancers. Imaging techniques have been central to quantifying - at a molecular and single-cell level - the impact of mechanisms such as phagocytic immune cell signaling, FcRn-mediated recycling, oncogene-driven macropinocytosis, and albumin-drug interactions on spatial albumin deposition and related pharmacology. Macroscopic imaging of albumin-binding probes quantifies vessel structure, permeability, and supports efficiently targeted molecular imaging. Albumin-based imaging in patients and animal disease models thus offers a strategy to understand mechanisms, guide drug development and personalize treatments.

Abstract
Background In humans, several safety evaluations have shown minimal adverse events with oral paclitaxel; however, its therapeutic efficacy and safety has not been well established in dogs with various cancers. Objectives We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral paclitaxel in dogs with various cancers. Methods Twenty‐one dogs diagnosed with various cancers were administered several doses of oral paclitaxel three times a month (group 1) or six times a month (group 2). Results The overall response rate was 6.25% (6.25%, complete response; 56.25%, stable disease; 37.5%, progressive disease) in dogs for which the treatment response could be evaluated. The median overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival (PFS) were 74 and 60.5 days, respectively. Regardless of the administration group, differences in OS and PFS of the two groups did not reach statistical significance. Most dogs tolerated the treatment regimen well, and although minor adverse events were observed in some dogs, they recovered after temporary drug discontinuation, dose reduction or symptomatic treatment. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of adverse events between the two groups. Conclusions Based on the observed responses in certain types of cancers and the minimal adverse events, the study findings supported the efficacy and safety of oral paclitaxel administration in dogs. Thus, oral paclitaxel could play a role in the management of cancer in dogs.

Abstract
Microtubules are key components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton with essential roles in cell division, intercellular transport, cell morphology, motility, and signal transduction. They are composed of protofilaments of heterodimers of α-tubulin and β-tubulin organized as rigid hollow cylinders that can assemble into large and dynamic intracellular structures. Consistent with their involvement in core cellular processes, affecting microtubule assembly results in cytotoxicity and cell death. For these reasons, microtubules are among the most important targets for the therapeutic treatment of several diseases, including cancer. The vast literature related to microtubule stabilizers and destabilizers has been reviewed extensively in recent years. Here we summarize recent experimental and computational approaches for the identification of novel tubulin modulators and delivery strategies. These include orphan small molecules, PROTACs as well as light-sensitive compounds that can be activated with high spatio-temporal accuracy and that represent promising tools for precision-targeted chemotherapy.

Abstract
Paclitaxel (PTX) is a chemotherapeutic agent that belongs to the taxane family and which was approved to treat various kinds of cancers including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related Kaposi’s sarcoma. Several delivery systems for PTX have been developed to enhance its solubility and pharmacological properties involving liposomes, nanoparticles, microparticles, micelles, cosolvent methods, and the complexation with cyclodextrins and other materials that are summarized in this article. Specifically, this review discusses deeply the developed paclitaxel nanocrystal formulations. As PTX is a hydrophobic drug with inferior water solubility properties, which are improved a lot by nanocrystal formulation. Based on that, many studies employed nano-crystallization techniques not only to improve the oral delivery of PTX, but IV, intraperitoneal (IP), and local and intertumoral delivery systems were also developed. Additionally, superior and interesting properties of PTX NCs were achieved by performing additional modifications to the NCs, such as stabilization with surfactants and coating with polymers. This review summarizes these delivery systems by shedding light on their route of administration, the methods used in the preparation and modifications, the in vitro or in vivo models used, and the advantages obtained based on the developed formulations.

Abstract
Every day, new cases of cancer patients whose recovery is delayed by multidrug resistance and chemotherapy side effects are identified, which severely limit treatment options. One of the most recent advances in nanotechnology is the effective usage of nanotechnology as drug carriers for cancer therapy. As a consequence, heterocyclic nanocarriers were put into practice to see whether they could have a better cure with positive results. The potential of a therapeutic agent to meet its desired goal is vital to its success in treating any disease. Heterocyclic moieties are molecules that have a wide variety of chemically therapeutic functions as well as a significant biological activity profile. Heterocyclic nano formulations play an important role in cell physiology and as possible arbitrators for typical biological reactions, making them valuable in cancer research. As a result, experts are working with heterocyclic nanoformulations to discover alternative approaches to treat cancer. Due to their unique physicochemical properties, heterocyclic compounds are real cornerstones in medicinal chemistry and promising compounds for the future drug delivery system. This review briefly explores the therapeutic relevance of heterocyclic compounds in cancer treatment, the various nanoformulations, and actively describes heterocyclic magnetic nano catalysts and heterocyclic moiety, as well as their mode of action, which have favorable anti - cancer effects.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is often a cause of premature ovarian insufficiency and infertility since the ovarian follicles are extremely sensitive to the effects of chemotherapeutic agents. Different chemotherapeutic agents with varying mechanisms of action may damage ovarian function differently. Taxanes are widely used in clinical cancer treatment, but the specific reproductive toxicological information is still controversial. This review described the impact and duration of taxanes on ovarian function in women and analyzed the possible reasons for different conclusions. Furthermore, the toxicity of taxanes on ovarian function and its possible mechanisms were discussed. The potential protective strategies and agents against ovarian damage induced by taxanes are also reviewed.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are frequently pursued as drug delivery carriers due to their potential to alter the pharmacological profiles of drugs, but their broader utility in nanomedicine hinges upon exquisite control of critical nanoparticle properties, such as shape, size, or monodispersity. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jetting is a probate method to formulate synthetic protein nanoparticles (SPNPs), but a systematic understanding of the influence of crucial processing parameters, such as protein composition, on nanoparticle morphologies is still missing. Here, we address this knowledge gap by evaluating formulation trends in SPNPs prepared by EHD jetting based on a series of carrier proteins and protein blends (hemoglobin, transferrin, mucin, or insulin). In general, blended SPNPs presented uniform populations with minimum diameters between 43 and 65 nm. Size distributions of as-jetted SPNPs approached monodispersity as indicated by polydispersity indices (PDISEM) ranging from 0.11-0.19. Geometric factor analysis revealed high circularities (0.82-0.90), low anisotropy (<1.45) and excellent roundness (0.76-0.89) for all SPNPs prepared via EHD jetting. Tentatively, blended SPNPs displayed higher circularity and lower anisotropy, as compared to single-protein SPNPs. Secondary statistical analysis indicated that blended SPNPs generally present combined features of their constituents, with some properties driven by the dominant protein constituent. Our study suggests SPNPs made from blended proteins can serve as a promising drug delivery carrier owing to the ease of production, the composition versatility, and the control over their size, shape and dispersity.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have emerged as a new class of antitumor agent for various types of tumors. MPT0B291, a novel selective inhibitor of HDAC6, demonstrated significant antiproliferative activity in various human cancer cell types. However, MPT0B291 has very low water solubility, which limits its clinical use for cancer therapy. In the current study, MPT0B291 was encapsulated in human serum albumin (HSA), and its anticancer activities were investigated. Nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using two-stage emulsification resulting in 100~200-nm NPs with a fine size distribution (polydispersity index of <0.3). The in vitro drug release profiles of MPT0B291-loaded HSA NPs presented sustained-release properties. The cytotoxic effect on MIA PaCa-2 human pancreatic carcinoma cells was found to be similar to MPT0B291-loaded HSA NPs and the free-drug group. The albumin-based formulation provided a higher maximum tolerated dose than that of a drug solution with reduced toxicity toward normal cells. Furthermore, in vivo pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated an effective increase (5~8-fold) in the bioavailability of NPs containing MPT0B291 loaded in HSA compared to the free-drug solution with an extended circulation time (t1/2) leading to significantly enhanced efficacy of anticancer treatment.

Abstract
Simple Summary Over the last decade, immunotherapies using antibodies targeting the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) checkpoint or its ligand, programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), have emerged as promising therapeutic strategies against cancer. However, some current limitations include a relatively low rate of “responders”, the high cost of the treatment, and a rare risk of hyper-progression. Currently, the main challenge is, therefore, to improve these therapies, for instance, by using combined approaches. Here, we summarize the accumulating evidence that resveratrol (RSV) plays a role in the modulation of the PD-1/PD-L1 axis in cancer cells, suggesting the potential of therapeutic strategies combining RSV with PD-L1 or anti-PD-1 inhibitors. We then discuss the therapeutic potential of polyphenols such as RSV to be used in combination with PD-L1 or PD-1 inhibitors for the management of cancer patients. Abstract Immune checkpoints refer to a range of immunoregulatory molecules that modulate the immune response. For example, proteins expressed at the surface of T-cells (including PD-1 and CTLA-4) and their ligands (PD-L1 and B7-1/B7-2, respectively), expressed by cancer cells and antigen-presenting cells, are needed to prevent excessive immune responses. However, they dampen anti-tumor immunity by limiting T-cell activity, making them promising therapeutic targets in cancer. Although immunotherapies using checkpoint blocking/neutralizing antibodies targeting PD-L1 or PD-1 have proven their superiority over conventional chemotherapies or targeted therapies by enhancing T-cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity, some limitations have emerged. These include a relatively low rate of “responders” (<50%; irrespective of cancer type), the high cost of injections, and a rare risk of hyper-progression. For clinicians, the current challenge is thus to improve the existing therapies, potentially through combinatory approaches. Polyphenols such as resveratrol (RSV), a trihydroxystilbene found in various plants and an adjuvant in numerous nutraceuticals, have been proposed as potential therapeutic targets. Beyond its well-known pleiotropic effects, RSV affects PD-L1 and PD-1 expression as well as PD-L1 subcellular localization and post-translational modifications, which we review here. We also summarize the consequences of PD-1/PD-L1 signaling, the modalities of their blockade in the context of cancer, and the current status and limitations of these immunotherapies. Finally, we discuss their potential use in combination with chemotherapies, and, using RSV as a model, we propose polyphenols as adjuvants to enhance the efficacy of anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 immunotherapies.

Abstract
Background Whether nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin as neoadjuvant therapy can benefit patients with resectable squamous cell carcinoma of the lung remains unclear. This prospective study aimed to investigate outcomes in patients with stage IIIA-N2 squamous cell carcinoma of the lung treated with nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin as neoadjuvant therapy. Material/Methods Patients with stage IIIA-N2 squamous cell carcinoma of the lung were treated with nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m2, days 1, 8, and 15) and carboplatin (5 mg/(mL·min), day 1) for two 21-day cycles. The patients were followed every 3 months for 2 years and every 6 months after that. The primary endpoint was the downstaging rate. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), margin-free (R0) resection, pathologic complete response (pCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results Among the 36 enrolled patients, 33 completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 23 underwent surgery. The preoperative ORR was 50.0% (18/36). R0 resection was achieved in 22 (95.7%) of 23 patients. Major pathologic response and pCR were achieved in 8 (34.8%) and 2 (8.7%) patients, respectively. The overall downstaging rate was 47.8% (11/23). The median follow-up was 39.8 (32.5–41.0) months. For patients who underwent surgery, the median PFS and OS were 31.4 (95%CI: 10.4-not reached (NR)) and 45.0 (95%CI: 22.6-NR) months, respectively. The most common adverse events were neutropenia, anemia, and leukopenia. Conclusions This study preliminarily indicated a favorable effect of nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin as neoadjuvant therapy without significant adverse events for stage IIIA-N2 squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Future randomized controlled trials are needed to verify these results.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common adverse event associated with several antineoplastic drugs; however, the precise risks and time course of reactions of particular drugs are not clearly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between anticancer agents and CIPN development using data from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database and to characterize the time-to-onset and outcomes of CIPN. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy was defined using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities preferred terms. Disproportionality analysis was performed by calculating the reporting odds ratio (ROR) with 95% confidence interval for signal detection. Data of nine Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) drug categories correlated with CIPN development, in addition to the data of the time-to-onset and outcomes. Among 622,289 reports in the JADER database from April 2004 to March 2020, there were 1883 reports of adverse events corresponding to peripheral neuropathy. The ROR (95% confidence interval) for vinblastine, sorbent-based paclitaxel (sb-PTX), oxaliplatin, and bortezomib was 20.4 (12.5–33.4), 13.6 (11.9–15.7), 26.2 (23.6–29.1), and 30.8 (26.6–35.8), respectively. The median duration (interquartile range) to CIPN development after the administration of vinca alkaloids and analogues, taxanes, platinum compounds, and monoclonal antibodies was 11.0 (5.0–46.5), 22.5 (6.0–82.5), 22.0 (6.0–68.5), and 32.5 (11.3–73.8) days, respectively. The median duration (interquartile range) of sb-PTX and nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-PTX was 35.0 (7.0–94.0) and 5.5 (3.0–29.3) days, respectively. Our analysis of records in the JADER database revealed several drugs associated with a high risk for CIPN development. In particular, the development of CIPN after vinca alkaloid administration should be closely monitored for 2 weeks after administration. CIPN caused by nab-PTX showed significantly faster onset than that by sb-PTX. Patients who receive taxanes or monoclonal antibodies often do not show an improvement; accordingly, early treatment is required.

[PMID: 33991600 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2021.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Revised: 05/08/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer is a persistent problem in chemotherapy. Scientists have considered the overexpressed efflux transporters responsible for MDR and chemotherapy failure. MDR extremely limits the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy in cancer treatment. Many strategies have been applied to solve this problem. Multifunctional nanoparticles may be one of the most promising approaches to reverse MDR of tumor. These nanoparticles can keep stability in the blood circulation and selectively accumulated in the tumor microenvironment (TME) either by passive or active targeting. The stimuli-sensitive or organelle-targeting nanoparticles can release the drug at the targeted-site without exposure to normal tissues. In order to better understand reversal of MDR, three main strategies are concluded in this review. First strategy is the synergistic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs and ABC transporter inhibitors. Through directly inhibiting overexpressed ABC transporters, chemotherapeutic drugs can enter into resistant cells without being efflux. Second strategy is based on nanoparticles circumventing over-expressed efflux transporters and directly targeting resistance-related organelles. Third approach is the combination of multiple therapy modes overcoming cancer resistance. At last, numerous researches demonstrated cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) had a deep relation with drug resistance. Here, we discuss two different drug delivery approaches of nanomedicine based on CSC therapy.

A novel preparative method for nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel with high drug loading and its evaluation both in vitro and in vivo. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0250670. [PMID: 33909691 PMCID: PMC8081182 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0250670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
We developed a novel preparative method for nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab) paclitaxel with high drug loading, which was based on improved paclitaxel solubility in polyethylene glycol (PEG) and self-assembly of paclitaxel in PEG with albumin powders into nanoparticles. That is, paclitaxel and PEG were firstly dissolved in ethanol, which was subsequently evaporated under vacuum. The obtained liquid was then mixed with human serum albumin powders. Thereafter, the mixtures were added into phosphate-buffered saline and nab paclitaxel suspensions emerged after ultrasound. Nab paclitaxel was finally acquired after dialysis and freeze drying. The drug loading of about 15% (W/V) were realized in self-made nab paclitaxel, which was increased by approximately 50% compared to 10% (W/V) in Abraxane. Now this new preparative method has been authorized to obtain patent from China and Japan. The similar characteristics of self-made nab paclitaxel compared to Abraxane were observed in morphology, encapsulation efficiency, in vitro release, X-ray diffraction analysis, differential scanning calorimetry analysis, and circular dichroism spectra analysis. Consistent concentration-time curves in rats, biodistributions in mice, anti-tumor activities in mice, and histological transmutation in mice were also found between Abraxane and self-made nanoparticles. In a word, our novel preparative method for nab paclitaxel can significantly improve drug loading, obviously decrease product cost, and is considered to have potent practical value.

Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to elucidate the influence of drug-carrier compatibility and preparation method on the properties of Paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded lipid liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LLCNs). Here, glyceryl monooleate (GMO), glycerol monolinoleate (GML), glyceryl monolinolenate (GMLO) were selected as the lipids, and Soluplus, Poloxamer 407 (P407), Tween 80 were selected as the stabilizer to prepare LLCNs. First of all, PTX-carrier compatibility was screened by molecular dynamic simulation using Flory-Huggins interaction parameter as the criteria. Thereafter, PTX-loaded LLCNs were prepared under different energy input conditions and were characterized. Influence of lipid type, stabilizer type, drug-lipid ratio and preparation method on properties of the LLCNs was explored. It was found that both lipid and stabilizer type had significant influence on drug encapsulation efficiency. Compared to the LLCNs prepared under high energy condition, PTX-loaded LLCN prepared under low energy input had higher drug encapsulation efficiency, smaller particle size (211.6 nm versus 346.8 nm) and a sustained release behavior. In conclusion, molecular dynamic simulation is an effective tool to select the most appropriate composition of LLCNs for a specific drug substance, and LLCNs prepared using low energy input methods was particularly applicable for industrial manufacture.

Abstract
The efficient entry of nanotechnology-based pharmaceuticals into target cells is highly desired to reach high therapeutic efficiency while minimizing the side effects. Despite intensive research, the impact of the surface coating on the mechanism of nanoparticle uptake is not sufficiently understood yet. Herein, we present a mechanistic study of cellular internalization pathways of two magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) differing in surface chemistry into A549 cells. The MNP uptake was investigated in the presence of different inhibitors of endocytosis and monitored by spectroscopic and imaging techniques. The results revealed that the route of MNP entry into cells strongly depends on the surface chemistry of the MNPs. While serum bovine albumin-coated MNPs entered the cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), caveolin-mediated endocytosis (CavME) or lipid rafts were preferentially involved in the internalization of polyethylene glycol-coated MNPs. Our data indicate that surface engineering can contribute to an enhanced delivery efficiency of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major global health problems, responsible for the second-highest number of deaths. The genetic and epigenetic changes in the oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes alter the regulatory pathways leading to its onset and progression. Conventional methods are used in appropriate combinations for the treatment. Surgery effectively treats localized tumors; however, it fails to treat metastatic tumors, leading to a spread in other organs, causing a high recurrence rate and death. Among the different strategies, the nanocarriers-based approach is highly sought for, but its nonspecific delivery can cause a profound side effect on healthy cells. Targeted nanomedicine has the advantage of targeting cancer cells specifically by interacting with the receptors overexpressed on their surface, overcoming its non-specificity to target healthy cells. Nanocarriers prepared from biodegradable and biocompatible materials are decorated with different ligands by encapsulating therapeutic or diagnostic agents or both to target cancer cells overexpressing the receptors. Scientists are now utilizing a theranostic approach to simultaneously evaluate nanocarrier bio-distribution and its effect on the treatment regime. Herein, we have summarized the recent 5-year efforts in the development of the ligands decorated biodegradable nanocarriers, as a targeted nanomedicine approach, which has been highly promising in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a biodegradable semicrystalline synthetic polymer that has been used for biomedical applications for several years. In the pharmaceutical area, PVA has been widely used to prepare solid dispersions to improve the solubility of drugs. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that PVA is highly biocompatible and non-toxic in in-vitro and in-vivo studies. Several reports provided in this review suggest a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Thus far, the current therapy includes a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the effectivity can be limited due to the heterogeneous manifestations of the disease, dose-related toxicity, and side effects. A promising strategy is the implementation of a targeted therapy using hydrogels, microparticles, or nanoparticles (NPs), capable of encapsulating, protecting, transporting, and targeted administration of a therapeutic agent. Considering the relevance of the PVA in conjunction with their copolymers, it has become a promising biodegradable material to build novel functional composites used in the fabrication of hydrogels, microparticles, nanoparticles, and nanocomposites for drug delivery systems in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Objectives Vascular endothelial growth factor plays an important role in the pathogenesis of malignant pleural effusion (MPE). We previously showed the efficacy of bevacizumab (Bev) plus carboplatin (CBDCA)/paclitaxel (PTX) in the treatment of non-small lung cell cancer (NSCLC) with MPE. However, the toxicities were a little severe, and the efficacy was not satisfied sufficiently. Therefore, we conducted a phase II study for NSCLC with MPE to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bev plus CBDCA/nab-PTX, which is a new combination therapy. Methods Chemotherapy-naive non-squamous (SQ) NSCLC patients with MPE participated in the study. A single aspiration (not allowing chest tube drainage) was allowed before chemotherapy. Patients received a maximum of six cycles of Bev (15 mg/kg, day1) plus CBDCA (AUC 6, day1)/nab-PTX (100 mg/m2, day1, 8) every 3 weeks followed by Bev (15 mg/kg, day1) plus nab-PTX (100 mg/m2, day1, 8) every 3 weeks without disease progression or unacceptable severe toxicities. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Results The study enrollment was ceased because of suspension of the registration period (as scheduled) after 12 of 20 planned patients were treated successfully between March 2014 and February 2018. The ORR was 58.3 % (95 % CI, 27.7-84.8 %), and the disease control rate was 100 % (95 % CI, 73.5-100 %). Eight patients received maintenance therapy. Median progression-free and overall survival times were 14.4 and 26.9 months, respectively. Most patients experienced hematological toxicities, including ≥ grade 3 neutropenia and anemia; none experienced severe bleeding events and grade 5 toxicities. Conclusion The combination of Bev plus CBDCA/nab-PTX, a novel combination, might have efficacy with acceptable toxicities in chemotherapy-naïve non-SQ NSCLC patients with MPE.Trial Registration University Hospital Medical Information Network in Japan (UMIN) Clinical Trials Registry (No. UMIN000013329) registered on 4th March 2014.

Abstract
Aim: To compare the efficacy and safety of 2-weekly nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nP) and 3-weekly docetaxel regimens as neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) for breast cancer. Materials & methods: Patients (n = 201) received NST comprising either dose-dense epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by 2-weekly nP (n = 104) or 3-weekly courses of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel (n = 97). Results: Higher pathological complete response rates were achieved by the nP group. Subgroup analysis showed that the nP-based regimen achieved higher pathological complete response rates in patients with triple-negative tumor cells and high Ki67 levels. However, grades 3-4 peripheral sensory neuropathies were more frequent in the nP group. Conclusion: The 2-weekly nP-based regimen might be a better choice of NST for patients with breast cancer.

Abstract
Aim: To prepare curcumin (CUR)-loaded, dioleoyl phosphoethanolamine-conjugated human serum albumin nanoparticles (NPs) and to evaluate their effectiveness in breast cancer therapy. Materials & methods: The CUR-loaded NPs were physicochemically characterized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity in murine (4T1) and human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cell lines. The antitumor efficacy of the nanomedicine was evaluated in 4T1 tumor bearing mice. Results: The prepared NPs exhibited encapsulation and drug loading efficiencies of approximately 79 and 21%, respectively. The NPs were taken up efficiently and markedly hindered the proliferation of breast cancer cells compared with free drug. NPs exhibited greater suppression of tumor growth in 4T1 tumor bearing mice. Conclusion: CUR-human serum albumin-dioleoyl phosphoethanolamine NPs could be a potential treatment alternative for solid tumors, including breast cancer.

J Cancer 2020; 11:6421-6428. [PMID: 33033525 PMCID: PMC7532494 DOI: 10.7150/jca.47072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 07/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Most patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) experience disease progression after first-line treatment. The efficacy and safety of the nab-paclitaxel (nab-PTX) and bevacizumab combination as the second or further line of treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC have not been reported yet. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the nab-PTX and bevacizumab combination in patients with advanced non-squamous (NSQ) NSCLC after failure of at least one prior systemic regimen. Methods: Patients with advanced (stage IV) NSQ NSCLC who received the nab-PTX and bevacizumab combination as the second or further line treatment between February 2012 and December 2018 at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (Beijing, China) were included in this retrospective study. The main outcomes included the objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results: Thirty-four patients received 1-27 cycles (median, four cycles) of treatment; 67.6% (23/34) patients had undergone at least two lines of previous treatment. The ORR and disease control rates were 26.5% (9/34) and 82.4% (28/34), respectively. The median PFS and OS were 6.0 (95% CI=2.9-7.2) and 11.0 (95% CI=7.8-18.7) months, respectively. The multivariable analyses indicated that the combined use of other drugs and pleural metastasis were respectively associated with better PFS (hazard ratio=0.354, 95% CI=0.134-0.935, P=0.036) and OS (hazard ratio=0.540, 95% CI=0.118-0.980, P=0.046). The most frequent grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia 20.6% (7/34), leukopenia 8.8% (3/34), and anemia 5.9% (2/34). No grade 5 AE occurred. Conclusion: Combined nab-PTX and bevacizumab might be an effective treatment regimen for patients with advanced NSQ NSCLC after failure of at least one prior systemic regimen, but studies have to validate those findings.

Abstract
Modifications to the surface chemistry, charge, and hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of nanoparticles are applicable approaches to the alterations of the in vivo fate of intravenously administered nano-sized drug carriers. The objective of this study is to investigate the in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacies of curcumin PLGA nanoparticles in relation to their surface structural modification via self-assembling coating with unique fungal hydrophobin. The hydophobin-coated curcumin PLGA nanoparticles (HPB PLGA NPs) were obtained by simply soaking curcumin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) in aqueous fungal hydrophobin solution. The in vitro drug release behavior of the HPB PLGA NPS was also tested. The cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of these nanoparticles were determined in HepG2, A549, and Hela cell lines using MTT assay method and CLSM observation. The in vivo antitumor activity was evaluated in Hela tumor xenografted mice model. Compared with the PLGA NPs, the size and zeta potential of the nanoparticles were changed after hydrophobin coating, whereas similar in vitro release pattern was observed. The pharmacodynamics study showed prolonged blood retention of both nano-formulations than that of free curcumin, but no significant difference between the hydrophobin coated and uncoated nanoparticles. It was found that HPB PLGA NPs had increased cytotoxicities, higher cellular uptake, and improved antitumor efficacy. Surface modification of nanoparticles via self-assembling of hydrophobin is a convenient and promising method of changing particle surface physiochemical properties and antitumor performances. Further investigations, especially on tissue distribution, were needed to assess the potential application of the hydrophobin self-assembling coating in nano-drug delivery carriers.

Abstract
Albumin is a remarkable carrier protein with multiple cellular receptor and ligand binding sites, which are able to bind and transport numerous endogenous and exogenous compounds. The development of albumin-bound drugs is gaining increased importance in the targeted delivery of cancer therapy. Intraperitoneal (IP) drug delivery represents an attractive strategy for the local treatment of peritoneal metastasis (PM). PM is characterized by the presence of widespread metastatic tumor nodules on the peritoneum, mostly originating from gastro-intestinal or gynaecological cancers. Albumin as a carrier for chemotherapy holds considerable promise for IP delivery in patients with PM. Data from recent (pre)clinical trials suggest that IP albumin-bound chemotherapy may result in superior efficacy in the treatment of PM compared to standard chemotherapy formulations. Here, we review the evidence on albumin-bound chemotherapy with a focus on IP administration and its efficacy in PM.

Abstract
Chemotherapy in drug-resistant cancers remains a challenge. Owing to associated poor bioavailability, oral administration of hydrophobic anticancer drugs like paclitaxel has been quite challenging, with the scenario being further complicated by Pgp efflux in drug-resistant tumours. We developed a novel nanocochleates (CPT) system encapsulating paclitaxel (PTX) to treat resistant colon cancer by oral administration. PTX encapsulated nanocochleates (PTX-CPT), made up of phosphatidylserine in size range of 350-600 nm with -20 ± 5.2 mV zeta potential were protected from degradation at acidic gastric pH and showed sustained PTX release over 48 h under intestinal pH condition. In vitro cytotoxicity studies on HCT-116 & HCT-15 cells (multi-drug resistant) established IC50 value of <10 and 69 nM, respectively, which was significantly lower when compared to commercial Taxol formulation. Further, the in vivo efficacy with five oral doses of 30 mg/kg PTX-CPT in an HCT-15 drug-resistant colon cancer xenograft mouse model showed more than 25 fold reduction in the tumour growth inhibition as compared to intravenous Taxol which showed just 1.94% inhibition. Interestingly, PTX-CPT treated mice also showed significantly lower proliferation index and microvessel density when compared to Taxol treated mice. Nanocochleates showed lower toxicity with at LD-50 value greater than 300 mg/kg as described in OECD 423 guideline. The enhanced efficacy of PTX-CPT speculated due to its internalization by active endocytosis, ability to escape Pgp efflux, and due to a combined effect of the pro-apoptotic and antiangiogenic role. Taken together, the results suggested the PTX-CPT a promising strategy for efficiently treating drug-resistant colon cancer orally.

Abstract
Pediatric malignancies are most commonly of primary central nervous system or hematopoietic origin. The main reason for cancer death in pediatrics is refractory and relapsed disease, and improved therapeutic options are needed in the pediatric population. Nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel (Abraxane) is a human albumin-stabilized formulation of paclitaxel and was designed to improve the chemotherapeutic effects of paclitaxel and to reduce toxicities. Although nab-paclitaxel pharmacokinetics (PK) has been extensively studied in adults, no information is available on its PK in children. ABI-007-PST-001 was the first nab-paclitaxel clinical trial conducted in pediatrics, and the current analysis is the first study of nab-paclitaxel PK in pediatrics. Our analyses suggested that ontogeny and maturation play a role in nab-paclitaxel PK disposition, as demonstrated by the finding that both blood clearance and volume of distribution increased from younger to older pediatric age groups and from pediatrics to adults. A 3-compartment population PK (PPK) model with saturable elimination was developed to describe the paclitaxel whole blood concentrations in pediatrics. The PPK model was customized by estimating the allometric function on PK parameters to take into account the ontogeny/maturation of patients. PPK estimates are consistent with the fast and deep distribution of paclitaxel that was previously observed in adults. Finally, the exposure-safety analysis showed an increased probability of drug-related adverse events (>grade 2) in cycle 1 and the first cycle of neutropenia (>grade 2) associated with higher doses. However, there is no statistically significant association between exposures (measured by area under the concentration-time curve) and the probabilities of either safety event.

Dexamethasone simulates the anticancer effect of nano-formulated paclitaxel in breast cancer cells. Bioorg Chem 2020; 99:103792. [PMID: 32240873 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2020.103792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2019] [Revised: 02/12/2020] [Accepted: 03/22/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Although the chemosensitizing effect of Dexamethasone (DEX) and its ability to increase the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to chemotherapy were previously reported, this study aimed to explore how far cotreatment of breast cancer cells with paclitaxel (PTX) and DEX mimics the anticancer effect of nanoformulated PTX. To establish this goal, PTX was nanoformulated with poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and the nanoparticles (PTX-NPs) were physically authenticated. Breast cancer cells (MCF-7) were treated with PTX or PTX-NPs in presence or absence of low concentration (10 nM) of DEX. Cells viability (assessed by MTT assay), apoptosis (assessed by flow cytometry) and the expression of PTX resistance gene (TRX1) and PTX metabolizing genes (CYP2C8 and CYP3A4) were investigated. The results showed that nanoformulated PTX was validated by nano-size assessment, increased the anionic surface charge and prober conjugation with the biodegradable carrier (PLGA), as indicated by the FTIR spectroscopy. Initially, the IC50 value of PTX was 19.3 μg/ml and cotreatment with DEX minimized it to 5.22 μg/ml, whereas PTX-NPs alone inhibited cell proliferation with IC50 6.67 μg/ml. Also, in presence of DEX, PTX-NPs further decreased the IC50 to 5 μg/ml. In parallel, DEX has increased the responsiveness of cells to PTX without potentiating its apoptotic effect. Moreover, the glucocorticoid (with PTX or PTX-NPs) downregulated TXR1 gene by 26% (P < 0.01) and 28.4% (P < 0.05) respectively. Similarly, the mRNA level of CYP3A4 significantly decreased in presence of DEX. The main PTX metabolizing gene CYP2C8, in contrast, was upregulated, especially in cells cotreated with PTX/DEX (P < 0.001). Conclusively, the study reports that cotreatment of breast cancer cells with submolar concentration of DEX acts as similar as the nanoformulated PTX, possibly through its modulatory effects on the expression of the main PTX metabolizing gene (CYP2C8) and downregulating Taxol resistance gene.

Abstract
Starting with the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect discovery, nanomedicine has gained a crucial role in cancer treatment. The advances in the field have led to the approval of nanodrugs with improved safety profile and still inspire the ongoing investigations. However, several restrictions, such as high manufacturing costs, technical challenges, and effectiveness below expectations, raised skeptical opinions within the scientific community about the clinical relevance of nanomedicine. In this review, we aim to give an overall vision of the current hurdles encountered by nanotherapeutics along with their design, development, and translation, and we offer a prospective view on possible strategies to overcome such limitations.

Abstract
The poor solubility of paclitaxel (PTX), the most commonly used anticancer drug (Taxol®), has long hindered the development of successful formulations. In 2005, the launch of Abraxane®, a human albumin-based preparation of PTX, competed with Taxol® in the commercial market. The success of Abraxane pushed other generic preparations aside, sparking competition among the global pharmaceutical companies to develop the novel and superior PTX nanotechnology-driven formulations. Unsurprisingly, the success underlying with cancer treatment using nano PTX therapy has now entered into a new era of drug development, patentability, preclinical and clinical evaluation, leading eventually to a significant increase in the regulatory approval of the products. The present article aims to provide recent progress in the development of nano PTX formulations by various pharmaceutical companies for safe and effective drug therapies for patients benefit.
