Abstract
Aims: To enhance the therapeutic potential of Cabozantinib (CBZ), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with limited water solubility, low bioavailability, and high toxicity, by developing a Cabozantinib-Phospholipid Complex (CBZ-PLS).
Materials & methods: CBZ-PLS was formulated using solvent evaporation with a Box-Behnken design and characterized using various techniques to confirm molecular interactions. Solubility, in vitro release, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity were evaluated. Cytotoxic effects on HepG2 cell lines were also assessed.
Results: CBZ-PLS exhibited a 126-fold increase in solubility and enhanced CBZ release in vitro. Pharmacokinetic studies on Wistar rats demonstrated a 1.58-fold increase in bioavailability, while acute toxicity studies confirmed biocompatibility. CBZ-PLS showed superior cytotoxicity, apoptosis induction, migration inhibition, increased ROS generation, and greater DNA fragmentation in HepG2 cells. The complex also maintained stability over 6 months.
Conclusions: CBZ-PLS significantly improves the solubility, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy of CBZ against liver cancer, presenting a promising approach for more effective liver cancer treatment.
期刊介绍:
Delivering therapeutics in a way that is right for the patient - safe, painless, reliable, targeted, efficient and cost effective - is the fundamental aim of scientists working in this area. Correspondingly, this evolving field has already yielded a diversity of delivery methods, including injectors, controlled release formulations, drug eluting implants and transdermal patches. Rapid technological advances and the desire to improve the efficacy and safety profile of existing medications by specific targeting to the site of action, combined with the drive to improve patient compliance, continue to fuel rapid research progress. Furthermore, the emergence of cell-based therapeutics and biopharmaceuticals such as proteins, peptides and nucleotides presents scientists with new and exciting challenges for the application of therapeutic delivery science and technology. Successful delivery strategies increasingly rely upon collaboration across a diversity of fields, including biology, chemistry, pharmacology, nanotechnology, physiology, materials science and engineering. Therapeutic Delivery recognizes the importance of this diverse research platform and encourages the publication of articles that reflect the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field. In a highly competitive industry, Therapeutic Delivery provides the busy researcher with a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of all the latest relevant and significant developments, and focuses on how the technological, pharmacological, clinical and physiological aspects come together to successfully deliver modern therapeutics to patients. The journal delivers this essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats that are readily accessible to the full spectrum of therapeutic delivery researchers.
