Sustained Intracellular Raltegravir Depots Generated with Prodrugs Designed for Nanoparticle Delivery.

ABSTRACT: Polymeric nanocarriers have been extensively used to improve the delivery of hydrophobic drugs, but often provide low encapsulation efficiency and percent loading for hydrophilic compounds. In particular, insufficient loading of hydrophilic antiretroviral drugs such as the integrase inhibitor raltegravir (RAL) has limited the development of sustained-release therapeutics or prevention strategies against HIV. To address this, we developed a generalizable prodrug strategy using RAL as a model where loading, release and subsequent hydrolysis can be tuned by promoiety selection. Prodrugs with large partition coefficients increased the encapsulation efficiency up to 25-fold relative to RAL, leading to significant dose reductions in antiviral activity assays. The differential hydrolysis rates of these prodrugs led to distinct patterns of RAL availability and observed antiviral activity. We also developed a method to monitor the temporal distribution of both prodrug and RAL in cells treated with free prodrug or prodrug-NPs. Results of these studies indicated that prodrug-NPs create an intracellular drug reservoir capable of sustained intracellular drug release. Overall, our results suggest that the design of prodrugs for specific polymeric nanocarrier systems could provide a more generalized strategy to formulate physicochemically diverse hydrophilic drugs with a number of biomedical applications.

Project description:Treatment-induced ototoxicity and accompanying hearing loss are a great concern associated with chemotherapeutic or antibiotic drug regimens. Thus, prophylactic cure or early treatment is desirable by local delivery to the inner ear. In this study, we examined a novel way of intratympanically delivered sustained nanoformulation by using crosslinked hybrid nanoparticle (cHy-NPs) in a thermoresponsive hydrogel i.e. thermogel that can potentially provide a safe and effective treatment towards the treatment-induced or drug-induced ototoxicity. The prophylactic treatment of the ototoxicity can be achieved by using two therapeutic molecules, Flunarizine (FL: T-type calcium channel blocker) and Honokiol (HK: antioxidant) co-encapsulated in the same delivery system. Here we investigated, FL and HK as cytoprotective molecules against cisplatin-induced toxic effects in the House Ear Institute - Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells and in vivo assessments on the neuromast hair cell protection in the zebrafish lateral line. We observed that cytotoxic protective effect can be enhanced by using FL and HK in combination and developing a robust drug delivery formulation. Therefore, FL-and HK-loaded crosslinked hybrid nanoparticles (FL-cHy-NPs and HK-cHy-NPs) were synthesized using a quality-by-design approach (QbD) in which design of experiment-central composite design (DoE-CCD) following the standard least-square model was used for nanoformulation optimization. The physicochemical characterization of FL and HK loaded-NPs suggested the successful synthesis of spherical NPs with polydispersity index < 0.3, drugs encapsulation (> 75%), drugs loading (~ 10%), stability (> 2 months) in the neutral solution, and appropriate cryoprotectant selection. We assessed caspase 3/7 apopototic pathway in vitro that showed significantly reduced signals of caspase 3/7 activation after the FL-cHy-NPs and HK-cHy-NPs (alone or in combination) compared to the CisPt. The final formulation i.e. crosslinked-hybrid-nanoparticle-embedded-in-thermogel was developed by incorporating drug-loaded cHy-NPs in poloxamer-407, poloxamer-188, and carbomer-940-based hydrogel. A combination of artificial intelligence (AI)-based qualitative and quantitative image analysis determined the particle size and distribution throughout the visible segment. The developed formulation was able to release the FL and HK for at least a month. Overall, a highly stable nanoformulation was successfully developed for combating treatment-induced or drug-induced ototoxicity via local administration to the inner ear.
