Abstract:

To increase the drug loading of the poorly soluble anticancer drug, camptothecin (CPT), micelles made of a mixture of Pluronic P105 (P105) and Pluronic L61 (L61) were prepared. MethodsMixed micelles made of a mixture of Pluronic P105 (P105) and Pluronic L61 (L61) were prepared loaded with CPT. The drug loading and colloidal stability of such systems were studied, and cytotoxicity of the CPTloaded mixed micelles against MCF7 cancer cells in vitro was determined. ResultsThe CPTloaded mixed micelles were stable upon storage and dilution. Drug loading of CPT was increased with an increase of the amount of Pluronic L61. Cytotoxicity of the CPTloaded mixed micelles against MCF7 cancer cells in vitro was remarkably higher than that of the free drug. ConclusionMixed micelles made of a mixture of Pluronic P105 (P105) and Pluronic L61 (L61) may serve as a stable delivery system for poorly soluble CPT.
