Rapid In Situ MRI Traceable Gel-forming Dual-drug Delivery for Synergistic Therapy of Brain Tumor

چکیده
Preventing tumor recurrence after surgical resection of a brain tumor is a significant clinical challenge because current methods deliver chemotherapeutic agents in a rapid manner and are not effective against the residual tumor cells. To overcome this drawback, we report a simple method to prepare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) traceable ultra-thermosensitive hydrogels with rapid gelation ability from aqueous solution within 4 s at 28 °C for hydrophilic (epirubicin, EPI) and hydrophobic (paclitaxel, PTX) drugs co-delivery with bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs) incorporation. The results showed the average survival of gliosarcoma-bearing (MBR 614 or U87) mice receiving BSA/PTX NPs incorporated hydrogelGd/EPI increased to 63 days or 69 days with no tumor recurrence observed. Our synergistic strategy presents a new approach to the development of a local drug delivery system for the prevention of brain tumor recurrence.

AbstractVarious nanoparticles have been investigated as novel drug delivery systems, including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). Due to their rapid clearance from systemic circulation, nanoparticles do not provide sustained action in most cases. Different strategies have been employed to overcome this problem. In this direction, the present study introduces erodible in-situ forming gel systems ...
