In this study, a novel double layer nanoparticles were designed to enhance the oral bioavailability of anticancer drugs. The nanoparticles can act in a temporally controlled manner via an endogenous pathway in the intestine, overcoming multiple limitations of oral delivery. The results showed that the nanoparticles had good stability and prolonged intestinal retention time, as well as enhanced active transportation. Compared to conventional oral drugs, the use of these nanoparticles significantly improved the drug bioavailability and demonstrated better antitumor efficacy and safety.
Background: Oral chemotherapy is preferred for patients with cancer owing to its multiple advantages, including convenience, better patient compliance, and improved safety. Nevertheless, various physical barriers exist in this route that hamper the development of oral chemotherapeutic formulations, including destruction of drugs in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), low permeability in enterocytes, and short residence time in the intestine. To overcome these limitations, it is necessary to design an efficient oral drug delivery system with high efficacy and improved safety. Results: Herein, we designed novel glycocholic acid (GCA)-functionalized double layer nanoparticles (GCA-NPs), which can act via an endogenous pathway and in a temporally controlled manner in the intestine, to enhance the oral bioavailability of hydrophobic chemotherapeutic drugs such as paclitaxel (PTX). GCA-NPs were composed of quercetin (Qu)-modified liposomes (QL) coated with GCA-chitosan oligosaccharide conjugate (GCOS). The GCA-NPs thus prepared showed prolonged intestinal retention time and good GIT stability due to the presence of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) and enhanced active transportation via intestinal apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) due to the presence of GCA. GCA-NPs also efficiently inhibited intestinal P-gp induced by Qu. PTX-loaded GCA-NPs (PTX@GCA-NPs) had a particle size of 84 nm and an entrapment efficiency of 98% with good stability. As a result, the oral bioavailability of PTX was increased 19-fold compared to that of oral Taxol (R) at the same dose. Oral PTX@GCA-NPs displayed superior antitumor efficacy and better safety than Taxol (R) when administered intravenously. Conclusions: Our novel drug delivery system showed remarkable efficacy in overcoming multiple limitations and is a promising carrier for oral delivery of multiple drugs, which addresses several challenges in oral delivery in the clinical context.
