摘要
Objective: To verrify the anti-tumor efficacy and toxicity between juglone(Jug) and Jug-loaded poly lactic-co-glycolic acid(PLGA) nanoparticles(Jug-PLGA-NPs). Methods: Jug-PLGA-NPs were prepared by ultrasonic emulsification. The anti-tumor activity of Jug(2, 3, 4 μg/mL) and Jug-PLGA-NPs(Jug: 2, 3, 4 μg/mL) in vitro was measured by MTT assay and cell apoptosis analysis. The distribution, anti-tumor effect and biological safety in vivo was evaluated on A375 nude mice. Results: With the advantage of good penetration and targeting properties, Jug-PLGA-NPs significantly inhibited proliferation and migration of melanoma cells both in vitro and in vivo(P<0.05 or P<0.01) with acceptable biocompatibility. Conclusions: Jug can inhibit the growth of melanoma but is highly toxic. With the advantage of sustained release, tumor targeting, anti-tumor activity and acceptable biological safety, Jug-PLGA-NPs provide a new pharmaceutical form for future application of Jug.
