摘要: The co-encapsulation of two or more drugs in the same carrier affords synergistic therapeutic effects and enhanced potency. For this, polyethylene oxide-b-polyacrylic acid di-block polymer based-smart pH-sensitive polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) micelles were designed to encapsulate mitoxantrone (MTX) doxorubicin (DOX) with high payload capacity precise drug ratio. Three molar ratios (MTX/DOX: 2 : 1, 1 : 1, 1 : 2) drug-loaded PECs prepared evaluated for various physicochemical characteristics. dual combination exhibited a cytotoxic activity against both sensitive (MCF-7 A-549) resistant cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231), unlike individual drugs. Dual nanosystems (MTX/DOX-M) prolonged blood circulation drugs, synergic ratio was maintained throughout study period. MTX/DOX-M superior efficacy xenograft models; by contrast, free cocktail caused significant loss body weight mice. Taken together, our results suggest that PEC have great potential as nano-scaled delivery systems chemotherapy.
