Popis: | Doxorubicin (Dox) is a broad-spectrum antitumor drug used for the treatment of many types of malignant tumors. Although it possesses powerful antitumor activity, its clinical application is seriously encumbered by its unselective distribution and systemic toxicities, particularly myocardial toxicity. Thus, it is imperative to modify Dox to decrease its systemic toxicities and improve its therapeutic index. In the present study, we adopted a novel type of monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(e-caprolactone) (MPEG-PCL) micelles to encapsulate Dox to prepare Dox-loaded MPEG-PCL (Dox/MPEG-PCL) nanoparticles by a controllable self-assembly process. The cellular uptake efficiency and cell proliferation inhibition of the Dox/MPEG-PCL nanoparticles were examined. The antitumor activity of the Dox/MPEG-PCL nanoparticles was tested on a multiple pulmonary metastasis model of melanoma on C57BL/6 mice. Systemic toxicities and survival time were compared between the mice treated with the Dox/MPEG-PCL nanoparticles and free Dox. The potential myocardial toxicity of the Dox/MPEG-PCL nanoparticles was investigated using a prolonged observation period. Encapsulation of Dox in MPEG-PCL nanoparticles significantly improved the cellular uptake and cell proliferation inhibition of Dox in vivo. Intravenous injection of Dox/MPEG-PCL nanoparticles obtained significant inhibition of the growth and metastasis of melanoma in the lung and prolonged survival time compared with free Dox (P |
