Development of galactosamine decorated andrographolide loaded nanocochleates for

liver cancer targeting

Statement of the Problem:

Andrographolide (ANG), an anticancer chemotherapeutic phytoconstituent has been used in the

treatment of various tumours and produced 39% inhibition cancer cell due to lack of specific affinity for site of action or to its

limited biopharmaceutical properties. This juncture demands an effective, controlled release and safe formulation of AND would

be a significant advance for the treatment of cancer. Nanocochleates are unique lipid-based supramolecular assemblies composed

of a negatively charged phospholipid and a divalent cation. Aim of the study was to develop galactosamine (GA) decorated

andrographolide (ANG) loaded nano-cochleates (NC) for liver targeting.

Methodology:

GA was attached to ANG-loaded 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (DOPS) nanoliposomes (GA-

ANG-NL) by aldehyde chemistry. GA-ANG-NL was converted into nanocochleates (GA-ANG-NC) by addition of Ca2+ ions

and evaluated in terms of in-vitro and in-vivo and compared with ANG and ANG-NC.

Findings:

ANG-NC and GA-ANG-NC showed particle size of 149 and 835 nm and zeta potential of -0.308 and -2.08 mV,

respectively. ANG-NC and GA-ANG-NC showed higher release in pH 5.3 as compared to pH 7.4. GA-ANG-NC demonstrated

higher in-vitro anticancer activity in Human hepatoma cell line Hep-G2. The targeting effect for the GA-ANG-NC was also

demonstrated in which fourfold improved GI50 as compared ANG. Moreover, bioavailability of AGN from GA-ANG-NC

increased by 3-fold with long circulation time and slower plasma elimination. Furthermore, GA-ANG-NC showed 2.1-fold

increases in liver drug concentration ANG.

Conclusion & Significance:

The proposed strategy is advantageous in terms of targeted drug delivery and has high potential

to address the current challenges in drug delivery. Thus, the prepared nanocarrier offers a novel formulation that combines the

unique properties of a biodegradable material, galactosamine and nanocochleates for biomedical applications.
