RESUMEN
The use of streptokinase (SK) in the clinic is limited by the lack of fibrin-specificity and the short half-life of the drug. We have developed a new dosage form of streptokinase (immunoliposome), which consists of "free" native streptokinase and "bound" encapsulated in liposomes conjugated through carboxylated dextran with fibrin-specific monoclonal antibodies FnI-3C (IgG2 class), in a ratio of 60 and 40%, respectively, and studied their physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetic parameters, and the ability of fibrin-specific liposomes with SK for targeted delivery to fibrin in an in vivo experiment. The obtained immunoliposomes had a hydrodynamic diameter of ~ 140 nm, a zeta potential of - 19.6 mV, and entrapment efficiency of 14.1%. Fluorescent labels bound to immunoliposomes with streptokinase selectively accumulated in model rat vein thrombi at sites containing fibrin in 30 min after injection. Studies of pharmacokinetic parameters showed that the administration of immunoliposomes with streptokinase to rats was accompanied by an increase in the half-life from 1.8 to 24.1 min, the time to reach the maximum concentration from 15 to 30 min, and a decrease in the elimination constant by about 13 times compared with the native streptokinase preparation. Further studies are needed to evaluate the thrombolytic efficacy a new dosage form of streptokinase in experiment in vivo.
