However, SN38 is hydrolyzed in the physiological environment (pH 7.4), and this instability interferes with its potential therapeutic effect. Our objective was to investigate SN38-loaded liposomes to overcome the poor solubility of SN38 and its biodistribution, which further diminish its toxicity.Materials and methods: The sub-100 nm targeted liposomes was employed to deliver SN-38 and evaluate the characterization, release behaviors, cytotoxicity, in vivo pharmacokinetics and biochemical assay.Results: The SN38-loaded targeted liposomes consisted of small (100.49 nm) spherical nanoparticles with negative charge (-37.93 mV) and high entrapment efficiency (92.47%). The release behavior of the SN38-loaded targeted liposomes was fitted with Higuchi kinetics (R2=0.9860). Free SN38 presented initial burst release. The IC50 for the SN38-loaded targeted liposomes (0.11 µM) was significantly lower than for the SN38 solution (0.37 µM) in the MCF7 cell line (P<0.01). Confocal laser scanning microscopy also confirmed highly efficient accumulation in the MCF7 cells. Pharmacokinetics demonstrated that the SN38-loaded targeted liposomes had a slightly increased half-life and mean residence time and decreased area under the concentration–time curve and maximum concentration. The results suggested that retention was achieved while the exposure of SN38 was significantly decreased. A noninvasive in vivo imaging system also showed that the targeted liposomes selectively targeted MCF7 tumors. In vivo toxicity data demonstrated that the decrease in platelets was significantly improved by SN38-loaded targeted liposomes, and diarrhea was not observed in BALB/c mice.Conclusion: In summary, SN38-loaded targeted liposomes could be a good candidate for application in human breast cancer.
