Despite its efficacy, the clinical application of CPA is hindered by the significant occurrence of adverse side effects. To address these limitations, a promising approach involves the mechanochemical treatment of CPA with arabinogalactan (AG) to facilitate the dispersion of the drug within the AG matrix. AG stands out from other polymers due to its uniformity, low molecular weight, water solubility, and ability to form drug conjugates, thereby enhancing their therapeutic potency. Moreover, AG possesses immune-modulating properties that have the potential to counteract the immunosuppressive effects induced by CPA. By means of mechanical treatment, we successfully obtained CPA-AG complexes with a CPA:AG ratio of 1:10. These complexes were further modified with As42 aptamers that specifically target Erlich ascites cells. Aptamers, a novel class of oligonucleotide ligands obtained through SELEX technology, possess high affinity and specificity for binding to various receptors. An ascitic form of Ehrlich carcinoma was chosen as an in vitro and <em>in vivo</em> tumor model due to its notable drug resistance. In vitro and <em>in vivo</em> evaluations were conducted to compare the antitumor activity of both the CPA-AG and CPA-AG-As42 complexes with pure CPA. In vitro experiments revealed that the CPA-AG complex displayed superior antitumor activity compared to pure CPA, leading to complete tumor cell death primarily through necrosis. Notably, no toxic effects were observed with the CPA-AG and CPA-AG-As42 complexes, and they significantly prolonged the lifespan of tumor-bearing mice by more than 3.5 times. Histological studies further supported the antitumor efficacy of these complexes. These results underscore the potential of utilizing CPA-AG mechanocomposites, functionalized with aptamers, for the targeted delivery of CPA to tumors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12024,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics","volume":"204 ","pages":"Article 114531"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pulmonary delivery has emerged as a promising route for administering biologics, offering non-invasive delivery with rapid absorption, high systemic bioavailability, and avoidance of first-pass metabolism. This review first details the anatomy and physiological barriers of the respiratory tract and the associated challenges of pulmonary drug delivery (PDD). It further discusses innovations in PDD, the impact of particle size on drug deposition, and the use of secondary particles, such as nanoparticles, to enhance bioavailability and targeting. The review also explains various devices used for PDD, including dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and nebulizers, highlighting their advantages and limitations in delivering biologics. The role of excipients in improving the stability and performance of inhalation products is also addressed. Since dry powders are considered the suitable format for delivering biomolecules, particular emphasis is placed on the excipients used in DPI development.

PS80 degraded fastest in histidine buffer, followed by acetate and succinate buffers, whereas it remained stable in citrate, phosphate and tris buffers. When there was PS80 degradation, the extent of degradation was found to be pH-dependent. The predominant degradation pathway was oxidation mainly triggered by metal ions. The varying stability of PS80 across different pH/buffer systems was attributed to the role of buffer agents, which can either promote or inhibit the oxidation process through their interactions with metal ions. Specifically, buffers except histidine exhibited metal ion chelation similar to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), which can suppress the oxidation of PS80, although the effectiveness of chelation varies to different extents. Furthermore, the binding capacity appeared stronger at higher pH in acetate and succinate buffers. Conversely, histidine was reported to form pro-oxidant complexes with metal ions to accelerate PS80 degradation, especially at higher pH levels. Our work for the first time offers a comprehensive understanding of PS80 oxidation in biopharmaceutical buffer systems.

Despite numerous strategies in its treatment, the disease shows a high recurrence rate and a low survival rate. Consequently, there is a growing focus on targeted therapies in ovarian cancer treatment. It is well-known that VEGFR and LPA pathways undergo alterations in ovarian cancer and stimulate survival, adhesion, migration, invasion, tumor growth and angiogenesis. Cabozantinib (CBZ) is a multi-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that effectively targets MET, VEGFR-1, 2, 3, FLT3, c-KIT, and RET. Ki16425 is a selective inhibitor of LPA receptors 1, 2, and 3. Therefore, targeting LPA receptors and combining with VEGFR inhibitor is a strategic approach for ovarian cancer treatment. In this study, it was aimed to prepare polymer-drug nanoconjugate for both VEGFR and LPAR inhibition. For this, O-(2-Carboxyethyl) polyethylene glycol (PEG<sub>5000</sub>) which advantages are known in cancer studies, was chosen as the carrier system, and a nanoconjugate containing Ki16425 and CBZ (Ki-PEG-CBZ) was synthesized and its potential was evaluated. Initially, CBZ and Ki16425 were conjugated to the PEG<sub>5000</sub> through pH-sensitive hydrazone and ester bonds. After nanoconjugate characterization, in vitro release and its ovarian cancer treatment potential were evaluated on A2780, OVCAR3 and SKOV3 ovarian cancer cell lines. A nanoconjugate was obtained with a particle size of 169 ± 15.23 nm, a zeta potential of −13.5 ± 1.21 mV, and a release profile lasting 48 h, containing CBZ and Ki16425 with drug loading efficiencies of 73.71 ± 0.53 % and 77.72 ± 2.51 %, respectively.
