Abstract
Poly(DL-lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly (propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) copolymer (PEG-PPG-PEG) nanoparticles loaded with camptothecin (CPT), called CPT-NP, were prepared and examined for particle size change and drug release in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4, (PBS), and drug biodistribution profiles in mice bearing sarcoma 180 solid tumor. CPT-NP kept an almost constant mean size and exhibited an initial rapid release of approximately 20%, following by very slow release. As compared with CPT solution, CPT-NP showed higher tissue accumulation and better tumor localization, which were considered essentially associated with the better efficacy of CPT-NP reported in the previous study.
