Abstract：
PURPOSE:To investigate the influence of nanocarrier molecular size and shape on breast duct retention in normal rats using a non-invasive optical imaging method. METHODS:Fluorescein-labeled PEG nanocarriers of different molecular weights and shapes (linear, two-arm, four-arm, and eight-arm) were intraductally administered (50 nmol) to female Sprague-Dawley rats. Whole body images were obtained non-invasively. Fluorescence intensities (i.e., amount remaining in duct) were plotted against time to estimate the nanocarrier ductal retention half-lives (t(1/2)). Plasma samples were taken and the pharmacokinetics (Tmax, Cmax) of absorbed nanocarriers was also assessed. RESULTS:The t(1/2) of linear 12, 20, 30, 40, and two-arm 60 kDa nanocarriers were 6.7 ± 0.9, 16.1 ± 4.1, 16.6 ± 3.4, 21.5 ± 2.7, and 19.5 ± 6.1 h, whereas the four-arm 20, 40, and eight-arm 20 kDa had t(1/2) of 9.0 ± 0.5, 11.5 ± 1.9, and 12.6 ± 3.0 h. The t(1/2) of unconjugated fluorescein was significantly lower (14.5 ± 1.4 min). The Tmax for 12, 40, 60 kDa nanocarriers were 1, 24, and 32 h, respectively, and only 30 min for fluorescein. CONCLUSIONS:Since normal breast ducts are highly permeable, the use of nanocarriers may be helpful in prolonging ductal retention of diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents.
