Optimizing long-circulating liposomes for delivery of simvastatin to C26 colon carcinoma cells

Abstract: Simvastatin (SIM) is a lipophilic statin that has potential benefits for prevention and treatment of several types of malignancies. However, its low water solubility and the toxicity associated with administration of high doses recommend it for encapsulation in carriers able to deliver the therapeutic dose in the tumor. In this work, liposomes with long-circulating properties were proposed as delivery systems for SIM. The objective of this study was to optimize the formulation of SIM-loaded long-circulating li… Show more

“…The ratio between phospholipid concentration and drug concentration was demonstrated to have a significant impact on EE in the case of simvastatin. Thus, at high simvastatin concentration and low concentration of phospholipids, EE decreased [51].…”

“…The cytochrome P450 (CYP) metabolized statin, simvastatin, inhibits the adhesion of cancer cells to human mesothelial cells (HMCs) and decreases the adhesion molecules, vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1) on HMCs, and ICAM-1 and the cell surface receptor integrin beta 1 (integrin b1, cluster of differentiation 29, CD29) chain expression in ovarian cancer cells. This opens up the possibility of a therapeutic role for simvastatin in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis [38] perhaps by applying long-circulating liposomes as a constant delivery system for simvastatin [39].…”
