摘要
Despite great therapeutic effect of Abraxane®,complex preparation technology and unfavorable pharmacokinetics still restricted the clinical application of albumin-based paclitaxel(PTX)nanoparticles(NPs).Herein,we reported that an albumin-binding prodrug,phenylboronic acid-conjugated PTX(P-PTX),can form the uniform NPs with the diameters around 100 nm with the help of albumin via simple one-step nano-precipitation method.The albumin-based nanomedicines were stabilized by the integration of a single boronic acid with PTX due to the increased affinity based on multiple intermolecular interactions.We found that albumin-based P-PTX NPs exhibited superior colloidal stability over albumin-based PTX NPs through one-step nanoprecipitation approach,achieving longer in vivo circulation time and higher concentration in tumor than those of the marketed Abraxane®.Furthermore,the albumin-based P-PTX NPs with great stability and enhanced intratumoral enrichment,increased the maximum tolerated dose of PTX,remarkably suppressed the growth of breast tumor and lung metastasis,prolonged survival of melanoma tumors-bearing mice.Such a convenient and effective system gains an insight into the impact of phenylboronic acid group on the albumin-based PTX NPs,provides potent strategy for the rational design of albumin-based antitumor nanomedicines.
