Enhanced Ehrlich tumor inhibition using DOX-NP and gold nanoparticles loaded liposomes
Journal Title: Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 28, Issue 6
Abstract
Treatment with doxorubicin (DOX) is a common treatment for different types of cancer. DOX-NP is one of a well established marketed liposomal formulation for DOX. It has advantages over free DOX in reducing the cardiac toxicity and increasing the efficacy. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs), have been widely used in biomedical applications such as medical imaging and biosensors. Mice bearing Ehrlich tumor were injected with saline, free doxorubicin (DOX) in solution, gold nanoparticles loaded liposomes and commercial liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX-NP). The results showed that GNPs loaded liposomes could enhance the antitumor activity of commercial liposomal formulation (DOX-NP) and displayed significantly decreased systemic toxicity compared with free DOX and commercial liposomal formulation (DOX-NP) at the equivalent dose. So the injection of GNPs and DOX-NP is expected to increase the cell killing and make it a promising approach to cancer treatment.
