Popis: AimThis study aims to develop new nanoformulations of EGFR T790M targeted inhibitor AZD9291 and paclitaxel (PTX) for combination therapy of lung cancer.Materials & methodsWe prepared and characterized PTX- and AZD9291-loaded disulfide cross-linking micelles (DCMs), and evaluate their combination effect and toxicity in vitro and in lung cancer-bearing mice.ResultsDrug-loaded DCMs were relatively small in size, and possessed glutathione-responsive drug release. The combination of PTX-DCMs and AZD92921-DCMs exhibited strong synergistic effects in both cell line and in vivo without additional toxicity. Molecular studies demonstrated the synergistic modification in both IKB-α/NF-κB/Bcl-2 and EGFR/Akt pathways.ConclusionThe combination of DCM-loaded AZD9291 and PTX could potentially offer more effective and less toxicity treatment options for lung cancer patients.
