Preclinical toxicological study of long-circulating and fusogenic liposomes co-encapsulating paclitaxel and doxorubicin in synergic ratio
Combination therapy between paclitaxel (PTX) and doxorubicin (DXR) is applied as the first-line treatment of breast cancer. Co-administration of drugs at synergistic ratio for treatment is facilitated with the use of nanocarriers, such as liposomes. However, despite the high response rate of solid t...

Combination therapy between paclitaxel (PTX) and doxorubicin (DXR) is applied as the first-line treatment of breast cancer. Co-administration of drugs at synergistic ratio for treatment is facilitated with the use of nanocarriers, such as liposomes. However, despite the high response rate of solid tumors to this combination, a synergism of cardiotoxicity may limit the use. Thus, the objective of this work was to investigate the toxicity of long-circulating and fusogenic liposomes co-encapsulating PTX and DXR at the synergistic molar ratio (1:10) (LCFL-PTX/DXR). For this, clinical chemistry, histopathological analysis and electrocardiographic exams were performed on female Balb/c mice that received a single intravenous dose of LCFL-PTX/DXR.
