Popis: Multidrug resistance (MDR) and drug toxicity are two major factors responsible for the failure of cancer chemotherapy. Herein the efficacy and safety of combination therapy using doxorubicin (Dox, D)-mitomycin C (MMC, M) co-loaded stealth polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (DMsPLNs) were evaluated in sensitive and MDR human mammary tumor xenografts. DMsPLN demonstrated enhanced efficacy compared to liposomal Dox (PLD) with up to a 3-fold increase in animal life span, a 10-20% tumor cure rate, undetectable normal tissue toxicity and decreased tumor angiogenesis. These results suggest DMsPLN have potential as an effective treatment of breast cancer.
