Nano-drug co-delivery system of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment: a review.

ABSTRACT: Chemotherapy drugs have been used for a long time in the treatment of cancer, but serious side effects are caused by the inability of the drug to be solely delivered to the tumor when treating cancer with chemotherapy. Natural products have attracted more and more attention due to the antitumor effect in multiple ways, abundant resources and less side effects. Therefore, the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs may be an effective antitumor strategy, which can inhibit the growth of tumor and multidrug resistance, reduce side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Nano-drug co-delivery system (NDCDS) can play an important role in the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the research status and application prospect of nano-delivery strategies for the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs, aiming to provide a basis for the development of anti-tumor drugs.

Project description:Introduction:Traditional chemotherapy for ovarian cancer is limited due to drug resistance and systemic side effects. Although various targeted drug delivery strategies have been designed to enhance drug accumulation at the tumor site, simply improvement of targeting capability has not consistently led to satisfactory outcomes. Herein, AMD3100 was selected as the targeting ligand because of its high affinity to chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), which was highly expressed on ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, the AMD3100 has been proved having blockage capability of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1 or CXCL12)/CXCR4 axis and to be a sensitizer of chemotherapeutic therapy. We designed a dual-functional targeting delivery system by modifying paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded PEGylation bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles (NPs) with AMD3100 (AMD-NP-PTX), which can not only achieve specific tumor-targeting efficiency but also enhance the therapeutic outcomes. Methods:AMD3100 was chemically modified to Mal-PEG-NHS followed by reacting with BSA, then AMD-NP-PTX was synthesized and characterized. The targeting efficiency of AMD-NP was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. The anticancer effect of AMD-NP-PTX was determined on Caov3 cells and ovarian cancer-bearing nude mice. Finally, the potential therapeutic mechanism was studied. Results:AMD-NP-PTX was synthesized successfully and well characterized. Cellular uptake assay and in vivo imaging experiments demonstrated that NPs could be internalized by Caov3 cells more efficiently after modification of AMD3100. Furthermore, the AMD-NP-PTX exhibited significantly enhanced inhibition effect on tumor growth and metastasis compared with PTX, NP-PTX and free AMD3100 plus NP-PTX both in vitro and in vivo, and demonstrated improved safety profile. We also confirmed that AMD-NP-PTX worked through targeting CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, thereby disturbing its downstream signaling pathways including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes and nuclear factor ?B (NF-?B) pathway. Conclusion:The AMD-NP-PTX we designed would open a new avenue for dual-functional NPs in ovarian cancer therapy.
