A novel nanoparticle platform was developed to improve the stability and delivery efficacy of paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles (NPs), showing excellent anti-tumor efficacy.
Polymeric micelle is a promising vehicle to improve the bioavailability and clinical outcomes of paclitaxel (PTX) which has been proven effective in the treatment of a wide range of cancers. However, conventional PTX formulation with the amphiphilic PEG-b-PLA usually suffers from insufficient PTX loading, low stability of PTX-micelles, and rapid PTX release due to low compatibility between PTX and PLA, limiting its clinical application. In this study, a novel nanoparticle platform was developed to improve the stability of PTX-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) and the delivery efficacy of PTX by integrating the flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) technique and a com-bination of amphiphilic PEG-PLA and super hydrophobic zein. The incorporation of zein led to the formation of distinct hydrophobic interiors of NPs which enhanced the interaction between PTX and NPs, therefore improving the encapsulation efficiency of PTX and sustained drug release compared with PEG-PLA micelles without zein. In addition, FNP allowed facile fabrication of PTX-NPs with smaller sizes and higher stability. These PTX-NPs showed superior sustained release of PTX and good cancer cell-killing in vitro. Among them, PTX-5k-16k-1Z NPs exhibited excellent biosafety and anti-tumor efficacy in a xenograft tumor model in mice, suggesting great potential in the delivery of hydrophobic drugs for cancer therapy.
