Abstract A drug delivery system based on carboxymethyl cellulose-grafted graphene oxide loaded by methotrexate (MTX/CMC-GO) with pH-sensitive and controlled drug-release properties was developed in this work. CMC was grafted on graphene oxide by ethylenediamine through hydrothermal treatment. CMC serves as a pH-sensitive trigger, while CMC-GO serves as a drug-carrying vehicle due to the curved layer and large plain surface. Different amounts of drugs could be loaded into CMC-GO nanocarriers by control of the original amount of drug/carrier ratios. Additionally, low cytotoxicity against NIH-3T3 cells and low in vivo toxicity was observed. In vivo tumor growth inhibition assays showed that MTX/CMC-GO demonstrated superior antitumor activity than free MTX against HT-29 cells. Moreover, prolonged survival time of mice was observed after MTX/CMC-GO administration. The MTX/CMC-GO drug delivery system has a great potential in colon cancer therapy.

Further Development

Extranodal nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma is highly aggressive and malignant. Owing to the lack of multi-center prospective controlled studies, there is not a unified standard for the current clinical best treatment model. In recent years, new nano-drug delivery systems have made great progress in the field of tumor treatment. However, research on ENKTL is still in its infancy. The authors' previous research has proven that the dextran nano-drug delivery system can optimize and improve the in vivo pharmacokinetic behavior and anti-tumor effects of doxorubicin through interaction with the reticuloendothelial system and the complex tumor microenvironment. At the same time, gemcitabine, which is commonly used in the clinical treatment of ENKTL, and cisplatin, which is a radiosensitizer, both contain free amino groups, which can be successfully grafted to aldehyde-based natural polysaccharides. Therefore, based on the natural nano-drug carrier, we constructed a smart long-circulation drug delivery system that co-loaded gemcitabine and cisplatin and targeted ENKTL to achieve effective treatment of ENKTL under the dual treatment mode of chemotherapy and radiosensitization. This project improves the radiosensitivity of ENKTL and overcomes the multi-drug resistance of chemotherapeutics through the radiotherapy-cooperative natural nano-drug delivery system and provides a new idea for the further development and optimization of ENKTL treatment programs.

Pulsatile Drug Delivery

Objective: The objective of this research work was to develop and evaluate the floating– pulsatile drug delivery system (FPDDS) of meloxicam intended for Chrono pharmacotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: The system consisting of drug containing core, coated with hydrophilic erodible polymer, which is responsible for a lag phase for pulsatile release, top cover buoyant layer was prepared with HPMC K4M and sodium bicarbonate, provides buoyancy to increase retention of the oral dosage form in the stomach. Meloxicam is a COX-2 inhibitor used to treat joint diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. For rheumatoid arthritis Chrono pharmacotherapy has been recommended to ensure that the highest blood levels of the drug coincide with peak pain and stiffness. Result and discussion: The prepared tablets were characterized and found to exhibit satisfactory physico-chemical characteristics. Hence, the main objective of present work is to formulate FPDDS of meloxicam in order to achieve drug release after pre-determined lag phase. Developed formulations were evaluated for in vitro drug release studies, water uptake and erosion studies, floating behaviour and in vivo radiology studies. Results showed that a certain lag time before drug release which was due to the erosion of the hydrophilic erodible polymer. The lag time clearly depends on the type and amount of hydrophilic polymer which was applied on the inner cores. Floating time and floating lag time was controlled by quantity and composition of buoyant layer. In vivo radiology studies point out the capability of the system of longer residence time of the tablets in the gastric region and releasing the drug after a programmed lag time. Conclusion: The optimized formulation of the developed system provided a lag phase while showing the gastroretension followed by pulsatile drug release that would be beneficial for chronotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

In order to develop the efficiency and the specificity of anticancer drug delivery, we have designed an innovative nanocarrier. The nanocarrier system comprises of a multifunctional graphene oxide nanoparticle-based drug delivery system (GO-CS-M-DOX) as a novel platform for intracellular drug delivery of doxorubicin (DOX). Firstly, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by hummer’s method whose surface was functionalized by chitosan (CS) in order to obtain a more precise drug delivery, the system was then decorated with mannose (M). Further conjugation of an anti-cancer drug doxorubicin to the nanocarrier system resulted in GO-CS-M-DOX drug delivery system. The resultant conjugate was characterized for its physio-chemical properties and its biocompatibility was evaluated via hemolysis assay. The drug entrapment efficiency is as high as 90% and in vitro release studies of DOX under pH 5.3 is significantly higher than that under pH 7.4. The anticancer activity of the synthesized drug delivery system was studied by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay against MCF-7 cell line. These results stated that the pH dependent multifunctional doxorubicin- chitosan functionalized graphene oxide based nanocarrier system, could lead to a promising and potential platform for intracellular delivery and cytotoxicity activity for variety of anticancer drugs.
