Popis: Cisplatin forms the basis for many chemotherapy regimens, however the maximum permissible dose is limited by its systemic toxicity. Nanoencapsulation of drugs has been shown to reduce off-target side effects and can potentially improve treatment burden on patients. However, uptake of nanoformulations at tumor sites is minimal without some form of active delivery. We have developed a submicron, polymeric nanoparticle based on biocompatible and degradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) capable of encapsulating cisplatin and which can be bound to the surface of a phospholipid coated microbubble. The acoustic behavior and stability of the resulting nanoparticle loaded microbubbles will be compared with those of unloaded microbubbles. Results will also be presented on the extravasation of particles in a tissue mimicking phantom using a novel long working distance confocal microscope that enables particle distributions to be measured in situ and in real time.
