Metronomic delivery of orally available pemetrexed-incorporated colloidal dispersions for boosting tumor-specific immunity

In this study, we developed oral pemetrexed (PMX) for metronomic dosing to enhance antitumor immunity. PMX was electrostatically complexed with positively charged lysine-linked deoxycholic acid (DL) as an intestinal permeation enhancer, forming PMX/DL, to enhance its intestinal permeability. PMX/DL...

Oral PMX/DL-CD substantially increased programmed cell death protein ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression on tumor cells compared to the control and PMX-IV groups.
