Abstract:
:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a difficult-to-treat cancer, likely attributed to the blood brain barrier and drug resistance. Nose-to-brain drug delivery is a direct and non-invasive pathway for brain targeting with low systemic toxicity. Disulfiram (DSF) has shown its effectiveness against GBM, especially with copper ion (Cu). In this work, we designed a DSF loaded ion-sensitive nanoemulsion in situ gel (DSF-INEG) that was delivered intranasally along with Cu to the rat brains for the GBM treatment. The developed DSF-INEG nanomedicine showed a suitable particle size of 63.4 ± 1.1 nm and zeta potential of -23.5 ± 0.2 mV with a favorable gelling ability and prolonged DSF release. The results in vitro indicate DSF-INEG/Cu effectively inhibited the proliferation of both C6 and U87 cells. Besides, the excellent brain-targeting efficacy via nose-to-brain delivery was proved by the highest fluorescence signal of Cy5.5-INEG in the rat brains. Moreover, GFP imaging showed enhanced tumor growth inhibition of the rats by the DSF-INEG/Cu treatment, and their median survival time was 1.6 and 1.2 folds than those of the rats in the control and DSF/Cu treated groups, respectively, with no obvious histopathological damage to normal tissues. Overall, DSF-INEG/Cu could be a promising intranasal nanomedicine for effective GBM treatment.
