ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To prepare the vinorelbine-tetrandrine liposomes modified with RGD,and study the inhibitory effect on glioma C6 cells. METHODS:Film dispersion method and ammonium sulfate gradient method were used to prepare the vinorel-bine-tetrandrine liposomes modified with RGD,and the morphology and particle size distribution were observed. The vinorelbine content was determined,and sulforhodamine B method was used to respectively determine the inhibitory effects of blank targeting liposomes,normal vinorelbine liposomes and vinorelbine-tetrandrine liposomes modified with RGD on C6 cells. RESULTS:The prepared vinorelbine-tetrandrine liposomes modified with RGD were spherical or almost spherical with smooth surface,and particle size was about 120 nm. The average content of vinorelbine was 28.27 μg/mL(RSD=0.38％,n=3). Blank targeting liposomes had no significant effect on the growth of C6 cells;vinorelbine-tetrandrine liposomes modified with RGD can obviously inhibit the growth of C6 cells,and cell viability after its effect was significantly lower than normal vinorelbine liposomes (P<0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Vinorelbine-tetrandrine liposomes modified with RGD are successfully prepared,and they show obvious inhibitory ef-fects on the growth of C6 cells.
