description |
Lung cancer is currently the most prevalent cause of cancer mortality due to late
diagnosis and lack of curative therapies. Docetaxel (Dtx) is clinically proven to
be effective, but poor aqueous solubility and non-selective cytotoxicity limit its
therapeutic efficacy. Increasing the bioavailability of Dtx while potentially
monitoring the therapeutic response via Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an
appropriate strategy for effective drug delivery. In this work, a nanostructured
lipid carrier (NLC) loaded with iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP) and Dtx (Dtx-
MNLC) was developed as a potential theranostic agent for lung cancer
treatment. The IONP was synthesised from thermal decomposition of iron
oxyhydroxide (Fe(O)OH) and functionalised with Menhaden fish oil (MFO). Its
physicochemical properties, cytotoxicity, and potential as contrast agents were
then evaluated. The NLC was optimised using Response Surface Methodology.
The amount of IONP and Dtx loaded into the Dtx-MNLC was quantified using
Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy and highperformance
liquid chromatography. Dtx-MNLC was then subjected to
assessment of physicochemical characteristics, in vitro drug release, and
cytotoxicity. IONP having 10 nm size was synthesised at 60 minutes aging time
and 400 rpm stirring rate. The MFO-coated IONP (MFO-IONP) showed excellent
aqueous dispersibility and good negative contrast with transverse relaxation rate
of 9.85 mM-1s-1. MFO-IONP exhibited dose-dependent toxicity with higher
toxicity on human lung carcinoma cells (IC50= 41 μg/mL) than human lung
fibroblast cells (IC50 = 494 μg/mL) within 72 hours exposure. The RSM model
suggested the NLC formulated with 6% w/w lipid (MCT/ Precirol ATO 5) and
7.7% w/w emulsifier (TPGS/ Lipoid S75), with 20 minutes stirring time and
400 rpm stirring rate to achieve 187 nm particle size. Dtx loading percentage was
determined at 3.98% w/w, and 0.36 mg/mL MFO-IONP was loaded into the Dtx-
MNLC. The formulation showed a biphasic drug release in a simulated cancer
cell environment, where 40% of Dtx was released for the first 6 hours, and 80%
cumulative release was achieved after 48 hours. Dtx-MNLC exhibited higher cytotoxicity to A549 cells than MRC5 in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore,
the toxicity of Dtx-MNLC to MRC5 was lower compared to the commercial
formulation. In conclusion, Dtx-MNLC shows the efficacy to inhibit lung cancer
cells growth, yet reduced toxicity on healthy lung cells and potentially capable as
a theranostic agent for lung cancer treatment. |
