Development and characterization of pH responsive polymeric nanoparticles of SN-38 for colon cancer

Abstract: 7-Ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) is 1000 times more cytotoxic than its prodrug Irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11). It is not used therapeutically because of its insolubility in acceptable solvents. The objective of the present study was to prepare chitosan nanoparticles (CsENP) of SN-38 by polyelectrolyte complexation method using the Box-Behnken design. CsENPs were evaluated for mean particle size, drug loading, entrapment efficiency and characterized by TEM, XRD, DSC and FTIR. The actual values represen… Show more

“…The 7-Ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38), a biologically active anticancer drug, is derived from CPT-11 by carboxylesterases in the liver and in tumors, which is particularly effective against many malignancies including colorectal, lymphoma, lung, gastric, cervical, and ovarian cancer (Satoh et al 1994, Slatter et al 1997. Moreover, in vitro cytotoxicity studies indicate that SN-38 is up to 100-to 1000fold more potent than CPT-11 against several tumor cell lines (Chabner andLongo 2001, Prasad andDanqi 2015). Nonetheless, the clinical use of SN-38 is limited by its hydrophobicity and instability at physiological pH.…”
