PEGylated SLN as a Promising Approach for Lymphatic Delivery of Gefitinib to Lung Cancer

Abdelrahman Y. Sherif et al.

Summary: In this study, gefitinib-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (GEF-SLN) and GEF-loaded PEGylated SLN (GEF-P-SLN) were developed for targeting metastatic lung cancer through the lymphatic system. The results showed that these nanoparticles had small particle size, high entrapment efficiency, enhanced permeability, and improved cytotoxicity compared to pure gefitinib. These findings suggest that GEF-P-SLN is a promising approach for improving the therapeutic outcomes of gefitinib in the treatment of metastatic lung cancer.

Nanocrystallization Improves the Solubilization and Cytotoxic Effect of a Poly (ADP-Ribose)-Polymerase-I Inhibitor

Amer S. Alali et al.

Summary: The solubility and clinical use of Olaparib, an anticancer agent, have been limited due to its low solubility and permeability. In this study, nanocrystals of Olaparib were developed to improve its solubility. The nanocrystals showed improved solubility, stability, and anticancer effects compared to the pure drug. This research suggests that nanocrystals have the potential to overcome formulation challenges of poorly soluble drugs and have future clinical applications.

Boosting the Anticancer Activity of Sunitinib Malate in Breast Cancer through Lipid Polymer Hybrid Nanoparticles Approach

Mohammed Muqtader Ahmed et al.

Summary: In this study, lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPHNPs) were fabricated using lipoid-90H and chitosan, and loaded with the anticancer drug sunitinib malate (SM). The optimized formulation, SLPN4, showed suitable size, stability, and drug release rate. It exhibited potent cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells and could be a promising therapy option for breast cancer.

Development and Evaluation of Repurposed Etoricoxib Loaded Nanoemulsion for Improving Anticancer Activities against Lung Cancer Cells

Shadab Md et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel approach for lung cancer intervention using a nanoemulsion (ETO-NE) loaded with etoricoxib to enhance anticancer activity was explored. The optimized ETO-NE formulation showed excellent colloidal stability and exhibited significantly potent cytotoxic effects against lung cancer cells, inducing apoptosis/necrotic cell death and cell cycle arrests. Molecular analysis confirmed that ETO-NE effectively mitigated the abundance of inflammatory and cancer-related biomarkers compared to free ETO, indicating its potential clinical benefits for lung cancer patients.

Gefitinib loaded PLGA and chitosan coated PLGA nanoparticles with magnified cytotoxicity against A549 lung cancer cell lines

Abdullah S. Alshetaili

Summary: In this study, gefitinib loaded PLGA nanoparticles and chitosan coated PLGA nanoparticles were synthesized to investigate the role of surface charge on drug delivery for non-small-cell lung cancer. The chitosan-coated nanoparticles showed more sustained release of gefitinib and demonstrated significant anti-cancer activity in A549 lung cancer cells. This research indicates that the developed nanoparticles could be efficient carriers for delivering gefitinib with enhanced efficacy against NSCLC.

p28-functionalized PLGA nanoparticles loaded with gefitinib reduce tumor burden and metastases formation on lung cancer

Ana Rita Garizo et al.

Summary: The study developed a novel GEF delivery system by functionalizing PLGA nanoparticles with the cell-penetrating peptide p28 derived from bacterial protein azurin, which selectively reduced the metabolic activity of A549 lung cancer cells while sparing non-tumor cells. In vivo studies using A549 subcutaneous xenograft demonstrated that p28-NPs-GEF effectively reduced primary tumor burden and lung metastases formation, suggesting a promising new strategy to improve lung cancer therapy.
