Functional Application Of İmmununoliposomes Encapsulating Celecoxib On Colon Cancer Cell Lines.

2010-12-31
Long term regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been correlated with reduced risk of variety of cancers. Celecoxib is a new generation NSAID that can selectively inhibit activity of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) Celecoxib serves as a chemopreventive agent in colorectal cancer. Therefore there is growing interest in developing drug delivery systems for celecoxib, Targeting will be carried out by conjugation of a chimeric monoclonal antibody (Cetuximab) against the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). EGFR, which binds to epidermal growth factor, is essential in the normal maintenance of cellular growth and function. However, the receptor is known to be dysregulated in 25-77% of colorectal cancers and 85% of metastatic colorectal cancers. In this project we propose to prepare PEGylated liposomes encapsulating celecoxib, which will be converted immunoliposomes by conjugating to an anti-EGFR antibody. The combined inhibition of COX-2 by celecoxib and EGFR by cetuximab has been previously shown to synergistically reduce the metastatic potential of breast cancer in in vivo models (Gupta et al., 2007). Preliminary studies carried out in our laboratory indicate successful liposomal encapsulation and release of celecoxib (Deniz, Sade, Severcan, Keskin, Tezcaner & Banerjee, 2009). We therefore propose that the immunoliposomal preparation for the targeted delivery of celecoxib may hold promise for future therapeutic opportunities in colon cancer.

Long term regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been correlated with reduced risk of variety of cancers. Celecoxib is a new generation NSAID that can selectively inhibit activity of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme in prostaglandin production pathway The anticarcinogenic effects of Celecoxib are not solely due to the inhibition of COX-2. COX-2 independent effects observed in vitro can be summarized as inhibition of cell cycle progression, induction of apoptosis, and inhibition of ...
Tailoring magnetic PLGA nanoparticles suitable for doxorubicin delivery

One of the main problems of current cancer chemotherapy is the lack of selectivity of anti-cancer drugs to tumor cells, which leads to systemic toxicity and adverse side effects. In order to overcome these limitations, researches on controlled drug delivery systems have gained much attention. Nanoscale-based drug delivery systems provide tumor targeting. Among many types of nanocarriers, superparamagnetic nanoparticles with their biocompatible polymer coatings can be targeted to an intented site by an exter...

High toxicity caused by chemotherapeutic drugs and the acquisition of drug resistance by cancer cells are the major drawbacks in cancer therapy. A promising approach to overcome the posed barriers is conjugating tumor-homing peptides to drugs or nanocarriers. Such high-affinity peptides can specifically target surface markers overexpressed by cancer cells, ensuring a rapid and cancer-specific uptake of the drugs. Since prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is overexpressed by aggressive prostate cancer ...
Structural effects of simvastatin on liver rate tissue: Fourier transform infrared and Raman microspectroscopic studies

Simvastatin is one of the most frequently prescribed statins because of its efficacy in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, reducing cardiovascular risk and related mortality. Determination of its side effects on different tissues is mandatory to improve safe use of this drug. In the present study, the effects of simvastatin on molecular composition and structure of healthy rat livers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared and Raman imaging. Simvastatin-treated groups received 50 mg/kg/day simva...
