Abstract：
PURPOSE:This study was aimed at developing a new active loading method to stably encapsulate staurosporine (STS), a water insoluble drug, into lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs) for drug targeting to tumors. METHODS:A limited amount of DMSO was included during the active loading process to prevent precipitation and facilitate the loading of insoluble STS into the aqueous core of a LNP. The drug loading kinetics under various conditions was studied and the STS-LNPs were characterized by size, drug-to-lipid ratio, drug release kinetics and in vitro potency. The antitumor efficacy of the STS-LNPs was compared with free STS in a mouse model. RESULTS:The drug loading efficiency reached 100% within 15 min of incubation at a drug-to-lipid ratio of 0.31 (mol) via an ammonium gradient. STS formed nano-aggregates inside the aqueous core of the LNPs and was stably retained upon storage and in the presence of serum. A 3-fold higher dose of the STS-LNPs could be tolerated by BALB/c mice compared with free STS, leading to nearly complete growth inhibition of a multidrug resistant breast tumor, while free STS only exhibited moderate activity. CONCLUSION:This simple and efficient drug loading method produced a stable LNP formulation for STS that was effective for cancer treatment.
