- Abstract
- Background: Blending micellar systems of different types of polymers has been proposed as an efficient approach for tailor-made drug formulations. The lamellar structure of hydrophobic polymers may provide a high drug loading capacity, and hydrophilic polymers may provide good colloidal stability.
Methods: In this study, the anticancer model drug docetaxel was loaded onto a nanosized blending micellar system with two pluronics (L121/F127). To achieve increased antitumor activity, the cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid tripeptide (cRGD) as an active tumor targeting ligand was conjugated to the blending system.
Results: The docetaxel-loaded Pluronic blending system exhibited a higher drug loading capacity than that of F127 and showed high colloidal stability with a spherical structure. cRGD conjugates demonstrated enhanced drug cellular uptake and anticancer activity against alpha v beta 3 integrin-overexpressing U87MG cancer cells. In vivo animal imaging also revealed that the prepared cRGD-conjugated nanoparticles effectively accumulated at the targeted tumor site through an active and passive targeting strategy.
Conclusion: Accordingly, the prepared nanosized system shows potential as a tailor-made, active targeting, nanomedicinal platform for anticancer therapy. We believe that this novel nanoplatform will provide insights for advancement of tumor therapy.
