The release performances of 5-FU microspheres in vitro were studied in PH 7.4 phosphate buffered saline. The therapeutic efficacy of 5-FU-loaded PLA microspheres in vivo were studied using MGC-803 (human stomach cancer) xenograft. 32 nude mice were divided into four groups (n =8), 5-FU loaded PLA microspheres were injected at tumor site. VEGF121 monoclonal antibody was connected with 5-FU loaded PLA nanoparticles through carbodimide. The targeted effect of VEGF 5-FU loaded nanoparticles in vivo were observed by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) after tail vein injection at 1 h and 2 h. SEM observation showed that microspheres were spherical, and the diameters of two kinds of microspheres were 1 μm and 5 μm respectively. The mean diameter of nanoparticles was 191.0 nm, and the index of polydispersity was 0.202. The drug was released following biphasic kinetics, initial burst and the following steady phase. 1 μm and 5 μm 5-FU-loaded microspheres both resulted in increased life span (1 μm microspheres median survival time=40.63 days, 5 μm microspheres median survival time=62.25 days), against 5-FU pure drug (median survival time=14.5 days). These results strongly suggest that 5-FU-loaded PLA microspheres increase life span of nude mice bearing MGC-803 tumors. After injection for 2 h, almost all the VEGF/5-FU loaded PLA nanoparticles could centralize at the human gastric cancer xenograft sites. That demonstrated VEGF monoclonal antibody remain its bioactivity after connection with nanoparticles, VEGF/5-FU loaded PLA nanoparticles had very exact targeting function for gastric tumor xenograft.展开更多

The particle size of the NPs ranged from 40~60 nm and 100~200 nm according to different requirements. SEM and TEM showed that the particle size considerably decreases with increasing emulsification concentration and decreasing PLA concentration and ratio of oil to water. The highest drug loading ratio and drug encapsulation efficiency of NPs were 5.63% and 33.45%. The results demonstrated that decrease of initial BCNU content resulted in a noticeably increased encapsulation yield. A thorough study in vitro showed that the drug could be steadily released from NPs for one week. In addition,drug-loaded NPs had higher antitumor activity,compared with free BCNU,and sustained drug release characteristics as well.展开更多

The 5 Fluorouracil was entrapped into poly(lactic acid)(PLA) nanoparticles using a water in oil in water solvent evaporation technique. During the preparation process, ethyl acetate and acetone were used as organic solvents since they are less toxic than the more commonly used dichloromethane. The effect of the three solvents on particle size, drug content, loading efficiency and yield of nanopartcles was compared. When the solvent of the oil phase was acetone, the highest drug content, smallest particle size and lowest yield were obtained for the PLA nanoparticles.展开更多
