ABSTRACT
Nanoerythrocytes membrane (NEs) has recently been used to improve pharmacokinetics and biodistribution for successful drug therapy. NEs intended to enhance the drug targeting due to immune evasion and long circulation. In this work, NEs could serve as efficient 5- fluorouracil (5-FU) carriers to target liver cells. NEs decorated 5-FU-loaded chitosan coated-poly (lactide-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (5-FU-C-NPs-NEs), chitosomes (5-FU-C-LPs-NEs) and 5-FU-NEs were prepared by hypotonic lysis and extrusion procedures. Moreover, 5-FU loaded-chitosan coated 5-FU-NPs (5-FU-C-NPs) and chitosomes (5-FU-C-LPs) for the compared issues were prepared. They were characterized in terms of particle size, encapsulation efficiency (EE), membrane protein content, phosphatidylserine exposure, surface morphology, and in vitro release profiles. Also, their cytotoxic efficacy was determined. Furthermore, pharmacokinetics and biodistribution studies were investigated for optimized formulation. The results revealed that 5-FU-C-NPs-NEs have narrow particle size distribution, desirable EE%, and retained the erythrocyte membrane properties as confirmed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Additionally, it displayed a sustained release profile up to 72 h of 5-FU-C-NPs-NEs compared to other formulations. In comparison to 5-FU solution and 5-FU-C-NPs, 5-FU-C-NPs-NEs extended the drug release time in vivo with highly uptake by the liver. These results suggest that the 5-FU-C-NPs-NEs could be used to deliver 5-FU and enhance its targetability to liver cancer.
