Purpose: Bevacizumab (BCZ) is a recombinant monoclonal antibody that inhibits the biological activity of the vascular endothelial growth factor, which has an important role in angiogenesis for tumoral growth and progression. In this way, our objective was to develop chitosan-coated lipid-core nanocapsules functionalized with BCZ by an organometallic complex using gold-III. Methods: The formulation was produced and characterized in relation to physicochemical characteristics. Furthermore, the antitumoral and antiangiogenic activities were evaluated against C6 glioma cell line and chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), respectively. Results: Final formulation showed nanometric size, narrow polydispersity, positive zeta potential and gold clusters size lower than 2 nm. BCZ in aqueous solution (0.01–0.10 μmol L−1) did not show cytotoxic activity in vitro against C6 glioma cell line; although, MLNC-Au-BCZ showed cytotoxicity with a median inhibition concentration of 30 nmol L−1 of BCZ. Moreover, MLNC-Au-BCZ demonstrated cellular internalization dependent on incubation time and BCZ concentration. BCZ solution did not induce significant apoptosis as compared to MLNC-Au-BCZ within 24 h of treatment. CAM assay evidenced potent antiangiogenic activity for MLNC-Au-BCZ, representing a decrease of 5.6 times in BCZ dose comparing to BCZ solution. Conclusion: MLNC-Au-BCZ is a promising product for the treatment of solid tumors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
