    Abstract Regardless of the clinical response and improved patient survival observed following treatment with BRAFi like Vemurafenib (Vem), rapid development of resistance still remains as a major obstacle in melanoma therapy. In this context, we developed and characterized two acquired Vem-resistant melanoma cell lines, A375V and SK-MEL-28V, and an intrinsically Vem-resistant cell line, RPMI-7951. Altered morphology and growth rate of the resistant cell lines displayed spindle-shaped cells with filopodia formation and enhanced proliferation rate as compared to parental cells. Further in vitro characterization in 2D models confirmed the emergence of a resistant phenotype in melanoma cells. To mimic the in vivo tumor microenvironment, spheroids were developed for both parental and resistant cell lines to recognize materialization of invadopodia structures demonstrating elevated invasiveness and proliferation of resistant cells-based spheroids, especially A375V. Importantly, we validated A375V cell line in vivo to prove its tumorigenicity and drug resistance in tumor xenograft model. Taken together, our established clinically relevant Vem-resistant tumor model could be beneficial to elucidate drug resistance mechanisms, screen and identify novel anticancer therapies to overcome BRAFi resistance in melanoma.

    Abstract Nanocarriers passively accumulate in solid tumors through irregular wide fenestrations in neovasculature and increased retention due to poor lymphatic drainage, a phenomenon termed the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect. Although several preclinical reports have described the role of EPR in nanomedicine, its role in human solid tumor is obscure. There are several distinct factors for tumors in mice versus humans, including size, heterogeneity and nanomedicine pharmacokinetics. This review focuses on preclinical and clinical studies demonstrating the role of the EPR effect and passive targeting. The article illustrates the gaps that limit clinical effectiveness of the EPR effect and elaborates strategies to boost its efficiency, relaying future clinical outcomes for designing clinically applicable EPR-based nanomedicine.

    Abstract In this study, nanogel creams carrying paclitaxel (PTX) and temozolomide (TMZ) were prepared for the topical treatment of melanoma. PTX and TMZ were first loaded in poly-(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly-(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLAG-b-PEG-b-PLGA) thermosensitive nanogels, which made a transition from a free-flowing sol (formation of micellar network) at 25°C with the z-average particle size of c.a. 96 nm to a gel (aggregation of micelles) at 33°C with the z-average particle size of c.a. 427 nm. An anhydrous absorption ointment base, aquaphor, was then added to drug-loaded nanogels to form nanogel creams carrying PTX and TMZ. Nanogel creams permitted controlled release of the payloads and improved the penetration of the payloads through the rodent skin compared to drug(s)-loaded nanogels. PTX and TMZ in a combination were synergistically effective in inhibiting SK-MEL28, A375, and B16-F10 melanoma cancer cells in vitro. Topically applied nanogel creams carrying TMZ/PTX (4 mg/1.5 mg/dose) showed a trend of tumor volume inhibition on B16-F10-bearing xenograft mice in vivo.

    Abstract Fascioliasis, a common parasitic infection observed in the pediatric patient population, is a leading cause of concern in countries with poor/unhealthy water resources. To treat this condition first line agent such as triclabendazole (TBZ) has been the choice therapy. However, there is a major hurdle in exploiting TBZ. Characterized with poor aqueous solubility (0.1 mg/L), its solubility has been the rate limiting factor, rendering requirement of large doses of TBZ. To address the same, the focus of the current study was to develop a self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (TBZ-SNEDDS) for TBZ and developing dose customizable pediatric dispersible color-coded tablets. TBZ-SNEDDS were successfully formulated by using Kolliphor®EL, as a surfactant, a lipid phase of medium chain triglyceride and α-tocopherol in the ratio of (1:1), with dimethylacetamide (DMA) as a solvent. It was observed during in vitro release studies that there was a significant effect of fed conditions on the rate of TBZ release from the formulation. greater than 85 % TBZ was observed to release in fed conditions in comparison to fasted conditions. As currently TBZ is prescribed on a weight-based dosage regimen, it is imperative to develop a dose-customizable fast dissolving pediatric formulation. Hence, TBZ-SNEDDS could prove to be pivotal in helping countless children around the world in desperate conditions to get cheap yet effective therapy.

    Abstract This research deals with the development of asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPR) directed nanoliposomes incorporating a novel BRD4 (Bromodomain-containing protein 4) protein-targeted PROTAC (Proteolysis Targeting Chimera), ARV-825 (ARV) (GALARV), and to investigate the anticancer efficacy of GALARV for specific delivery in hepatocellular carcinoma. GALARV were prepared using the modified hydration method and characterized for their physicochemical properties as well as anticancer activity using 2D and 3D cell culture models. ARV and GALARV (93.83 ± 10.05 nm) showed significant in vitro cytotoxicity and apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. GALARV also demonstrated a substantially higher intracellular concentration of ARV compared to non-targeted nanoliposomes (∼3 fold) and ARV alone (∼4.5 fold), showed good physical stability and negligible hemolysis. Immunoblotting results depicted substantial downregulation of target BRD4 protein, oncogenic c-Myc, apoptotic Bcl-2, and survivin proteins. Notably, GALARV treatment resulted in significant apoptosis and subsequent inhibition of the cell viability of 3D tumor spheroids of hepatocellular carcinoma. These results suggest that GALARV is a novel actively targeted PROTAC-based nanotherapeutic approach for hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Abstract Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have been extensively explored for targeted proteasomal degradation of disease-related proteins with enormous potential in the treatment of intractable diseases. However, PROTACs are poorly soluble and permeable bulky molecules facing several bioavailability challenges irrespective of the route of administration. Our review lays out crucial challenges in the delivery of target protein degraders and nanoformulation approaches to overcome physicochemical and biological hurdles that can aid in transporting these target-protein degraders to the disease site. We have elaborated on the current formulation approaches and further highlighted the prospective delivery strategies that could be probed for disease-specific targeted delivery of PROTACs.

    Abstract Owing to the indispensable role of nanotechnology in cancer therapy, it is imperative to comprehend every aspect limiting its therapeutic potential. Several preclinical reports have demonstrated the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR)-mediated preferential tumor uptake of nanoparticles. However, the therapeutic outcome of nanotherapeutics is severely compromised by heterogeneous drug distribution and insufficient penetration of nanomedicine in a solid tumor owing to the dense tumor extracellular matrix (ECM). Herein, we elaborate on various preclinically investigated tumor stromal disrupting strategies, which we call 'cannons', to compromise the impenetrable 'fortress-like' solid tumor microenvironment. We have described and summarized major approaches to enhance the penetration of a 'nano-arsenal' in solid tumors. ECM remodeling strategies could be very beneficial in enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of monoclonal antibodies and translational nanomedicine.
