Study on antitumor activity of free and liposomal anthracycline antibiotic aclarubicin in vitro and in vivo showed that liposomal aclarubicin was characterised by activity against ascitic Ehrlich carcinoma comparable to that of free aclarubicin when used in a dose of 25 mg/kg. Liposomal antibiotic had a more pronounced antimetastatic action and showed no toxicity (in a dose of 30 mg/kg). Liposomal aclarubicin had a higher activating capacity with respect to the macrophage tumoricidal properties.

Objective: Thermosensitive liposomes (TSL) and other triggered drug delivery systems (DDS) are promising therapeutic strategies for targeted drug delivery. However, successful designs with candidate drugs depend on many variables, including nanoparticle formulation, drug properties, and cancer cell properties. We developed a computational model based on experimental data to predict the potential efficacies of drugs when used with triggered DDS, such as TSL.

Background Precision medicine and drug repurposing are attractive strategies, especially for tumors with worse prognosis. Glioblastoma is a highly malignant brain tumor with limited treatment options and short survival times. We identified novel BRAF (47-438del) and PIK3R1 (G376R) mutations in a glioblastoma patient by RNA-sequencing.

In this study, long-circulating Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-modified aclacinomycin A (ACM) liposomes were prepared by thin film hydration method. Their morphology, particle size, encapsulation efficiency, and in vitro release were investigated. The RGD-ACM liposomes was about 160 nm in size and had the visual appearance of a yellowish suspension.

It was shown that detergent dialysis could be successfully used for liposomal encapsulation of substances belonging to different chemical groups with diverse therapeutic activity such as rifampicin, aclarubicin, amphotericin B, pefloxacin and insulin. Liposome encapsulation of substances poorly soluble or insoluble in aqueous media was likely the most promising. The optimal incorporation depended on both the composition of the lipids forming the liposomes and the properties of the compounds being encapsulated.
