Formulation Optimization and Cytotoxicity Study of GGPFV-modified Daunorubicin/dioscin Liposomes / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE：To prepare GGPFV-modified Daunorubicin/dioscin liposomes ，and to optimize their formulation and to preliminarily evaluate their cytotoxicity to breast cancer cells in vitro . METHODS ：Daunorubicin and diosgenin were wrapped by thin film dispersion method and ammonium sulfate hydration method ；the surface was modified with DSPE-PEG2000-GGPFV to prepare GGPFV-modified Daunorubicin/dioscin liposomes. Taking encapsulation rate as index ，Box-Behnken response surface methodology was used to optimize the film hydration volume ，cholesterol amount and daunorubicin amount in the formulation. The entrapment efficiency of 3 batches of liposomes prepared according to the optimal formulation was determined. The effects of Daunorubicin/dioscin liposomes ，GGPFV-modified Daunorubicin/dioscin liposomes and blank liposomes on the survival rate of human breast cancer MDA-MB- 435S cells were compared. RESULTS ：The optimal formulation was as film hydration volume of 5 mL，cholesterol of 4 mg，yolk lecithin of 22 mg，daunorubicin of 0.55 mg，dioscin of 0.85 mg，DSPE-PEG2000 of 3.5 mg， DSPE-PEG2000-GGPFV of 2 mg. The encapsulation rate of daunorubicin was （96.21±1.54）％ and that of dioscin was （95.39± 2.48）％ in the 3 batches of liposomes prepared. The in vitro cytotoxicity tests showed that the inhibition effect of GGPFV-modified Daunorubicin/dioscin liposome on MDA-MB-435S cells was significantly stronger than that of Daunorubicin/dioscin liposome （P＜ 0.05）. There was no cytotoxicity in the membrane. CONCLUSIONS ：GGPFV-modified Daunorubicin/dioscin liposomes are successfully prepared ，and its inhibitory effect on human breast cancer MDA-MB- 435S cells in vitro was significantly enhanced.
