A 3-in-1 polymeric micelle nanocontainer for poorly water-soluble drugs
Open accessAbstract
Poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PEG-b-PLA) micelles have a proven capacity for drug solubilization and have entered phase III clinical trials as a substitute for Cremophor EL in the delivery of paclitaxel in cancer therapy. PEG-b-PLA is less toxic than Cremophor EL, enabling a doubling of paclitaxel dose in clinical trials. We show that PEG-b-PLA micelles act as a 3-in-1 nanocontainer for paclitaxel, 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), and rapamycin for multiple drug solubilization. 3-in-1 PEG-b-PLA micelles were ca. 40 nm in diameter; dissolved paclitaxel, 17-AAG, and rapamycin in water at 9.0 mg/mL; and were stable for 24 h at 25 °C. The half-life for in vitro drug release (t(1/2)) for 3-in-1 PEG-b-PLA micelles was 1-15 h under sink conditions and increased in the order of 17-AAG, paclitaxel, and rapamycin. The t(1/2) values correlated with log P(o/w) values, implicating a diffusion-controlled mechanism for drug release. The IC(50) value of 3-in-1 PEG-b-PLA micelles for MCF-7 and 4T1 breast cancer cell lines was 114 ± 10 and 25 ± 1 nM, respectively; combination index (CI) analysis showed that 3-in-1 PEG-b-PLA micelles exert strong synergy in MCF-7 and 4T1 breast cancer cell lines. Notably, concurrent intravenous (iv) injection of paclitaxel, 17-AAG, and rapamycin using 3-in-1 PEG-b-PLA micelles was well-tolerated by FVB albino mice. Collectively, these results suggest that PEG-b-PLA micelles carrying paclitaxel, 17-AAG, and rapamycin will provide a simple yet safe and efficacious 3-in-1 nanomedicine for cancer therapy.

For effective and safe delivery of drug combinations, the drugs should be well-solubilized in the polymeric micelle so that excipient amount and injection volume can be minimized for parenteral injection.
“For the effective and safe delivery of drug combinations, the combination drugs should be well-solubilized in the polymeric micelle so that the amount of the excipient and injection volume can be minimized for parenteral injection [114, 188, 240].”

The Introduction and Discussion (pages not provided) identify sufficient solubility for IV infusion and lower toxicity from avoiding conventional solubilizing vehicles as goals for micelle delivery. The Discussion also reports high drug loading for combinations. Our copy does not say that this minimizes excipient amount or injection volume for parenteral injection; the injection volume mentioned in Methods is for an analytical assay. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
