Abstract

Double-layered microparticles composed of poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid, 50:50) (PLGA) and poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) were loaded with doxorubicin HCl (DOX) and paclitaxel (PCTX) through a solvent evaporation technique. DOX was localized in the PLGA shell, while PCTX was localized in the PLLA core. The aim of this study was to investigate how altering layer thickness of dual-drug, double-layered microparticles can influence drug release kinetics and their antitumor capabilities, and against single-drug microparticles. PCTX-loaded double-layered microparticles with denser shells retarded the initial release of PCTX, as compared with dual-drug-loaded microparticles. The DOX release from both DOX-loaded and dual-drug-loaded microparticles were observed to be similar with an initial burst. Through specific tailoring of layer thicknesses, a suppressed initial burst of DOX and a sustained co-delivery of two drugs can be achieved over 2months. Viability studies using spheroids of MCF-7 cells showed that controlled co-delivery of PCTX and DOX from dual-drug-loaded double-layered microparticles were better in reducing spheroid growth rate. This study provides mechanistic insights into how by tuning the layer thickness of double-layer...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
