Popis: Nowadays, a number of promising strategies are being developed that aim at combining diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities into clinically effective formulations. Thus, the combination of a modified release provided by an organic encapsulation and the intrinsic physico-chemical properties from an inorganic counterpart opens new perspectives in biomedical applications. Herein, a biocompatible magnetic lipid nanocomposite vehicle was developed through an efficient, green and simple method to simultaneously incorporate magnetic nanoparticles and an anticancer drug (doxorubicin) into a natural nano-matrix. The theranostic performance of the final magnetic formulation was validated in vitro and in vivo, in melanoma tumors. The systemic administration of the proposed magnetic hybrid nanocomposite carrier enhanced anti-tumoral activity through a synergistic combination of magnetic hyperthermia effects and antimitotic therapy, together with MRI reporting capability. The application of an alternating magnetic field was found to play a dual role, (i) acting as an extra layer of control (remote, on-demand) over the chemotherapy release and (ii) inducing a local thermal ablation of tumor cells. This combination of chemotherapy with thermotherapy establishes a synergistic platform for the treatment of solid malignant tumors under lower drug dosing schemes, which may realize the dual goal of reduced systemic toxicity and enhanced anti-tumoral efficacy.
Graphical abstract The systemic administration of magnetic hybrid lipid nanocomposites induces synergistic effects derived from the local thermal release of chemotherapeutics plus the direct effect of magnetic hyperthermia in vivo, while enabling T2-MRI monitoring. The dual-role of magnetic hyperthermia (on-demand controlled drug release, magnetic ablation) is key to enhance the therapeutic capability of the formulation.Image 1
