Active Targeting Nanoparticle Self‐Assembled from Cisplatin‐Palbociclib Amphiphiles Ensures Optimal Drug Ratio for Combinatorial Chemotherapy

Abstract

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) not only exhibits aggressive progression and metastasis, but also responds to neither hormone therapy nor checkpoint blockade therapy. Thus, combinatorial chemotherapy is indispensable for TNBC treatment. However, due to the different pharmacokinetics of individual drugs and weak synergistic effects caused by random drug molar ratio in tumor, direct coadministration is far from satisfactory. Constructing a nanoscale drug delivery system with fixed drug molar ratios and maximum drug content is an urgent problem. Herein, an active targeting nanoparticle self‐assembled from cisplatin‐palbociclib amphiphiles with optimal drug ratio is reported. The combination of cisplatin and palbociclib at a molar ratio of 1:2 is found to have the best synergistic effect and is selected for follow‐up studies. After conjugating two palbociclib molecules to one cisplatin molecule, a fixed cisplatin/palbociclib (1:2) molar ratio is enabled and this amphiphilic conjugate can self‐assemble into nanoparticles. A small amount of iRGD coupled 1,2‐distearoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphoethanolamine‐N‐polyethylene glycol‐2000 (DSPE‐PEG‐iRGD) that further stabilizes the nanoparticle is introduced to fabricate the desired nanoparticle (iRGD‐PCN) and endow active tumor‐targeting ability. On an orthotopic TNBC mouse model, iRGD‐PCN efficiently accumulates in tumors and inhibits tumor growth. Additionally, the formation of lung metastasis nodes is also significantly suppressed. In general, the active targeting nanoparticles self‐assembled from cisplatin‐palbociclib amphiphiles provide options for combinatorial chemotherapy.

Mesoporous polydopamine Targeting CDK4/6 Inhibitor toward Brilliant Synergistic Immunotherapy of Breast Cancer

“…[17] Owing to their encouraging clinical therapeutic outcomes in cancer patients, they have obtained increasing interest for drug design or delivery. [18,19] In particular, CDK4/6 inhibitors can not only block cell cycle progression, induce cell senescence and apoptosis, [20,21] but also trigger anti-tumor immunity through suppressing regulation T cell (Tregs) proliferation. [22] Therefore, the selection of CDK4/6 inhibitors as chemotherapy drug models to construct versatile ICD Scheme 1.…”

Carrier-free nanomedicines self-assembled from palbociclib dimers and Ce6 for enhanced combined chemo-photodynamic therapy of breast cancer

“…21,22 Meanwhile, it is also encouraged to use minimum amount of excipient as possible the large-scale industry. [23][24][25] Recently, carrier-free nanomedicines were proposed for efficient cancer therapy. Among them, drug-drug conjugates especially drug dimers nano-assemblies were the most commonly used.…”
