ABSTRACT
Peritoneal dissemination is a disease that is difficult to treat surgically because it is widely scattered and proliferates in the abdominal cavity. It is a challenge that even if the drug is administered directly into the abdominal cavity, it rapidly disappears from the abdominal cavity, and the therapeutic effect is not optimal, as expected. In this study, for a liposomal paclitaxel in temperature-sensitive gel that is a suspension before administration and a gel after intraperitoneal administration, the antitumor effect of this formulation was evaluated. Temperature-sensitive gels were prepared using methylcellulose, sodium citrate, and macrogol 4000 and mixed with liposomal paclitaxel. Liposomal paclitaxel containing temperature-sensitive gel in the body was administered into the peritoneal cavity of a mouse model of peritoneal dissemination; the number of cells was significantly reduced compared to a paclitaxel solution of liposomal paclitaxel. These results showed that the liposome in temperature-sensitive gel inhibited cell proliferation in the abdominal cavity. This formulation can be administered easily at room temperature, and it gels and remains in the abdominal cavity for a long period, resulting in a more substantial effect than the existing drug.
