Phospho-sulindac (OXT-328) inhibits the growth of human lung cancer xenografts in mice: enhanced efficacy and mitochondria targeting by its formulation in solid lipid nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the antitumor efficacy of solid lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated phospho-sulindac (SLN-PS) in human lung cancer.PS was incorporated into SLNs using the emulsion evaporation technique. We determined the antitumor activity of SLN-PS in cultured lung cancer cells. The performance of SLN-PS was further evaluated by pharmacokinetic studies in mice and in a model of human lung cancer xenografts in nude mice.SLN-PS was >4-fold more potent than PS in inhibiting the growth of A549 and H510 cells in vitro. SLN-PS enhanced cellular uptake and facilitated PS accumulation in mitochondria, leading to oxidative stress and apoptosis via the mitochondrial-apoptosis pathway. SLN-PS was highly effective in suppressing the growth of A549 xenografts (78% inhibition compared to control, p < 0.01); while PS had no significant effect. Formulation of PS in SLNs resulted in improved pharmacokinetics in mice and an enhanced (? 14-fold) accumulation of PS and its metabolites in A549 xenografts. Finally, SLN-PS enhanced urinary F2-isoprostane uniquely in mice bearing A549 xenografts compared to untreated controls, suggesting that SLN-PS specifically induced oxidative stress in tumors.Our results show that SLN-PS is efficacious in suppressing the growth of lung cancer and merits further evaluation.

Project description:The aim of the study was the production of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) loaded with ciprofloxacin (CIP) through two different production techniques, quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion (QESD) and solvent injection (SI). In order to efficaciously entrap the commercial salt form (hydrochloride) of the antibiotic in these lipid systems, a conversion of CIP hydrochloride to the free base was realized in situ, through the addition of triethylamine. To ensure physical stability to the carriers over time and ameliorate the interaction with bacterial cell membranes, positively charged SLN were produced by addition of the cationic lipid didecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB). Homogeneous SLN populations with a mean particle sizes of 250?350 nm were produced by both methods; drug encapsulation was over 85% for most samples. The SLN were physically stable for up to nine months both at 4 °C and 25 °C, although the former condition appears more suitable to guarantee the maintenance of the initial particle size distribution. As expected, CIP encapsulation efficiency underwent a slight reduction after nine months of storage, although the initial high drug content values would ensure a residual concentration of the antibiotic in the SLN still appropriate to exert an acceptable antibacterial activity. Selected SLN formulations were subjected to an in vitro microbiological assay against different bacterial strains, to verify the effect of nanoencapsulation on the cell growth inhibitory activity of CIP. In general, CIP-SLN produced without DDAB showed MIC values for CIP comparable to those of the free drug. Conversely, addition of increasing percentages of the cationic lipid, reflected by a progressive increase of the positive value of the Zeta potential, showed a variety of MIC values against the various bacterial strains, but with values 2?4 order of dilution lower than free CIP. An hypothesis of the effect of the cationic lipid upon the increased antibacterial activity of CIP in the nanocarriers is also formulated.
