One of the current developments in drug research is the controlled release formulation of drugs, which can be released in a controlled manner at a specific target in the body. Due to the diverse physical and chemical properties of various drugs, a smart drug delivery system is highly sought after. The present study aimed to develop a novel drug delivery system using magnetite nanoparticles as the core and coated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a drug 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and Mg–Al-layered double hydroxide (MLDH) for the formation of FPVA-FU-MLDH nanoparticles. The existence of the coated nanoparticles was supported by various physico-chemical analyses. In addition, the drug content, kinetics, and mechanism of drug release also were studied. 5-fluorouracil (5FU) was found to be released in a controlled manner from the nanoparticles at pH = 4.8 (representing the cancerous cellular environment) and pH = 7.4 (representing the blood environment), governed by pseudo-second-order kinetics. The cytotoxicity study revealed that the anticancer delivery system of FPVA-FU-MLDH nanoparticles showed much better anticancer activity than the free drug, 5FU, against liver cancer and HepG2 cells, and at the same time, it was found to be less toxic to the normal fibroblast 3T3 cells.

Docetaxel (TXT) is acknowledged as one of the most important chemotherapy agents for gastric cancer (GC). PI3K/AKT signaling is frequently activated in GC, and its inhibitor LY294002 exerts potent antitumor effects. However, the hydrophobicity of TXT and the poor solubility and low bioavailability of LY294002 limit their clinical application. To overcome these shortcomings, we developed poly(lactic acid/glycolic) (PLGA) nanoparticles loaded with TXT and LY294002. PLGA facilitated the accumulation of TXT and LY294002 at the tumor sites. The in vitro functional results showed that PLGA(TXT+LY294002) exhibited controlled-release and resulted in a markedly reduced proliferative capacity and an elevated apoptosis rate. An in vivo orthotopic GC mouse model and xenograft mouse model confirmed the anticancer superiority and tumor-targeting feature of PLGA(TXT+LY294002). Histological analysis indicated that PLGA(TXT+LY294002) was biocompatible and had no toxicity to major organs. Characterized by the combined slow release of TXT and LY294002, this novel PLGA-based TXT/LY294002 drug delivery system provides controlled release and tumor targeting and is safe, shedding light on the future of targeted therapy against GC.

This paper reviewed our research progress in respects of th intercalation law of acetylsalicylic acid (ASP) with magnesium aluminate layered double hydroxide (LDH), the drug release mechanism and the tablet preparation effect of LDH-ASP system. We also discussed the propositions about the composite assembly rules, slow-release mechanism, and dosage form processing of the layered double hydroxide drug delivery system. Intercalation way and drug structure should be taken into consideration in assembly LDH-drugs system. The characteristic parameter of the composite LDH-drug reflected finely their loading efficiency and correlated definitely with drug release property. It had been found that the release rate and extent of intercalated drug was closely linked to the retarding status of LDH interlayer, which was dependent on the exchange mole ratio of n(drug) with n[HnPO4(3-n)-]. In addition, the grafting reaction and phase transformation degree of LDH layer was hinged on the acidity of solution. The slow-release function of the LDH-drug system could be improved significantly by compositing with dextran (DET). A sustained-release skeleton tablet was producted with DET-LDH-ASP drug delivery system and hydrophilic gel material HPMC, which could effectively overcome the "first pass effect" and " burst release problem" of LDH-drug oral agents. The slow-release effect of LDH drug delivery system could be ulteriorly improved in systemic circulation environments, attributed to the triple control of HPMC-DET-LDH, DET-LDH-drugs three-level supramolecular assembly and the special circulation in vivo. Key words: Layered double hydroxide, Supramolecular assembly, Release control, Slow controlled release drug delivery system
