Abstract
This study reports a dose-dependent pro-apoptotic action of synthetic cannabimimetic N-stearoylethanolamine (NSE) on diverse cancer cell lines, including multidrug-resistant models. No antioxidant or cytoprotective effects of NSE were found when it was applied together with doxorubicin. A complex of NSE with the polymeric carrier poly(5-(tert-butylperoxy)-5-methyl-1-hexen-3-yn-co-glycidyl methacrylate)-graft-PEG was synthesized. Co-immobilization of NSE and doxorubicin on this carrier led to a 2-10-fold enhancement of the anticancer activity, particularly, against drug-resistant cells overexpressing ABCC1 and ABCB1. This effect might be caused by accelerated nuclear accumulation of doxorubicin in cancer cells, which led to the activation of the caspase cascade, revealed by Western blot analysis. The NSE-containing polymeric carrier was also able to significantly enhance the therapeutic activity of doxorubicin in mice with implanted NK/Ly lymphoma or L1210 leukemia, leading to the complete eradication of these malignancies. Simultaneously, loading to the carrier prevented doxorubicin-induced elevation of AST and ALT as well as leukopenia in healthy Balb/c mice. Thus, a unique bi-functionality of the novel pharmaceutical formulation of NSE was revealed. It enhanced doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in cancer cells in vitro and promoted its anticancer activity against lymphoma and leukemia models in vivo. Simultaneously, it was very well tolerated preventing frequently observed doxorubicin-associated adverse effects.
