Sachdeva, Nandip S. Biodegradable Nanocapules For Delivery Of Monensin As Potentiator Of Immunotoxins
Grant: 2S06GM008111-250048
Grant: 2S06GM008111-250048
Abstract: Immunotoxins have been used as tumor-specific cytotoxic agents by various
investigators in academics and industry. One of the major limitations has
been their low potency in vivo. Potentiators like monensin have been used
with great success in vitro but their lipophillic nature has precluded
their use in vivo. Liposomes (with long circulating times) containing
monensin are being currently investigated as potentiators of immunotoxins
in vitro and in vivo. The main objective of this research is to prepare
nanocapsules of a carboxylic ionophore, monensin which can bypass the
reticuloendothelial system (to be termed as 'stealth nanocapsules'). These
nanocapsules will be used as potentiators of the anti My9 immunotoxin
conjugate (IT) which is presently in Phase III clinical trials. The
nanocapsules will be fully characterized for their entrapment efficiency,
size, stability and pharmacokinetics profile. Stealth monensin
nanocapsules will be incubated with the IT conjugate and different human
tumor cell lines to see the in vitro potentiation. All in vitro
qualitative and quantitative parameters of monensin nanocapsules will be
compared to 'stealth' monensin liposomes. Monensin nanocapsules will be
further tested for their potentiation of IT in vivo using human tumor
xenografts in a i.p/i.v. and i.v./i.v. tumor model (using nude mice) with
stealth monensin liposomes as controls. Two different human tumors, H-
mesothelioma and HL-60 cells will be used as tumor xenografts. The results
emanating from the above studies will allow us to decide what drug delivery
system to use, polymer based or lipid based.
The completion of the above studies will allow us to choose one formulation
for Phase I studies to be used in combination with the IT conjugate as a
potentiator.
