Abstract
Direct delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the lung can increase both the drug concentration and exposure period to lung tumours. The objective of this study was to formulate docetaxel (DOC) into a metered dose inhaler (MDI), assess its aerodynamic characteristics and to evaluate the effect of celecoxib (CXB), a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, on the in-vitro cytotoxicity and apoptotic response of aerosolized DOC against human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549. A stable solution-type MDI formulation was developed with 0.25% DOC and 15% w/w ethyl alcohol using HFA 134a propellant. The formulation was evaluated for medication delivery, mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD), geometric standard deviation (GSD), percent throat deposition, respirable mass and respirable fraction. A six-stage viable impactor was used to assess the in-vitro cytotoxicity of DOC-MDI alone or in combination with CXB. Induction of apoptosis in A549 cells by DOC (non-aerosolized and aerosolized) in combination with CXB was evaluated by established techniques, such as caspase-3 estimation and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labelling (TUNEL) staining. The influence of different treatments on the expression of COX-2 and perox...Continue Reading
