Influence of the formulation on the tolerance profile of nanoparticle-bound doxorubicin in healthy rats: Focus on cardio- and testicular toxicity
2007
Abstract A toxicological study of doxorubicin bound to poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) or human serum albumin nanoparticles coated with polysorbate 80 was performed in healthy rats. The doxorubicin formulations were injected at a therapeutic dose regimen (3 × 1.5 mg/kg with a 72 h interval), and the animals were followed up for 15 or 30 days. The overall result of this study suggests that the surfactant-coated nanoparticle formulations of doxorubicin have favorable toxicological profiles. Specifically, these formulations display a considerably reduced cardio- and testicular toxicity, as compared to a free drug.
