Covalent coupling of doxorubicin in protein microspheres is a major determinant of tumour drug disposition.

Abstract:

:Doxorubicin is shown to be present in albumin microspheres (10-40 microns) in two forms: the native drug and a fraction of drug covalently coupled to the protein matrix probably via glutaraldehyde. Upon trypsin digestion the fraction covalently coupled is released and can be resolved from native doxorubicin by high performance liquid chromatography and quantitated either by using 14C-labelled doxorubicin or by measuring the absorption of the doxorubicin chromophore at 480 nm. Albumin microspheres contained 6.9 micrograms/mg protein covalently bound drug versus 11.1 micrograms/mg native drug when 1% glutaraldehyde was used in microsphere preparation. The covalently bound fraction increased significantly with 2% glutaraldehyde. Albumin/polyaspartic acid microspheres lacked a covalently bound fraction when prepared under the same conditions as pure albumin microspheres (35 micrograms/mg native drug, 1% glutaraldehyde) but transferrin microspheres contained similar amounts of bound and native albumin. In vivo, albumin microspheres altered the disposition of doxorubicin in a rat mammary carcinoma (Sp107) compared to albumin/polyaspartic acid microspheres by reducing the rate of parent drug elimination from the tumour and by reducing its biotransformation to 7-deoxyaglycone metabolites. These data indicate that covalent coupling is a key component in the way doxorubicin is handled in tumours after administration of protein microspheres.
