| Research Abstract |
We developed a liposome as cated with a naturally occurring polysaccharide which was partly substituted by cholesterol groups in order to make the liposome mrte physicochemically stable and more cell specific. Furthermore, we reported that O/W-lecithin emulsion is stabilized by coating with the hydrophobized polysaccharide. In this work, we employed a new and improved formulation for a very lipofilic and liquid drug, selectively cytotoxic alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). This methodology involves the colloidal stabilization of a O/W-emulsion by coating the surface of oil droplets of ALA with or without TriC_8 with a hydrophobized polysaccharide such as cholesterol-bearing pullulan, CHP and studied its in vivo antitumor activity.
The O/W-emulsion was prepared by ultrasonication of a mixture of CHP and ALA in the presence or absence of trioctanoylglyceride (TriC_8). Colloidal stability of the CHP/ALA emulsion was largely improved by adding TriC_8. Intraperitoneal injection of the CHP/ALA-emulsion effectively prolonged the survial, especially, of C3H/He mice which received intraperitoneal transplantation of MM46 mammary tumore cells. The growth of the same tumor cells subcutaneously transplanted in C3H/He mice also was significantly suppressed without any loss of body weight when CHP/ALA/TriC_8-emulsion was intravenously injected. By using such the colloidally stable O/W-emulsion, a systemic administration of a very lipophilic and liquid drug became possible.
