Sensitive Tumor Cell Line for Annonaceous Acetogenins and High Therapeutic Efficacy at a Low Dose for Choriocarcinoma Therapy. | LitMetric

Annonaceous acetogenins (ACGs) have attracted much attention because of excellent antitumor activity. However, the lack of selectivity and the accompanying serious toxicity have eventually prevented ACGs from entering clinical application. To decrease the side effects of ACGs, the cytotoxicity of ACGs on 10 types of tumor cell lines was investigated by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) test to identify one that was very sensitive to ACGs. Meanwhile, ACGs nanoparticles (ACGs-NPs) were prepared using poloxamer 188 (P188) as an excipient so as to solve the problem of poor solubility and the delivery of ACGs. ACG-NPs were 163.9±2.5 nm in diameter, negatively charged, and spherical with a high drug loading content (DLC) of 44.9±1.2%. MTS assays demonstrated that ACGs had strong cytotoxicity against JEG-3, HeLa, SiHa, MCF-7, A375, A2058, A875, U-118MG, LN- 229, and A431 cells, among which JEG-3 cell line was extremely sensitive to ACGs with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 0.26 ng/mL, a very encouraging discovery. ACGs-NPs demonstrated very good dose-dependent antitumor efficacy in a broad range of 45?1200 μg/kg on JEG-3 tumor-bearing mice. At a very low dose (1200 μg/kg), ACGs-NPs achieved a high tumor inhibition rate (TIR) of 77.6% through oral administration, displaying a significant advantage over paclitaxel (PTX) injections that are currently used as first-line anti-choriocarcinoma drugs. In the acute toxicity study, the half lethal dose (LD50) of ACGs-NPs was 135.5 mg/kg, which was over 100 times as of the effective antitumor dose, indicating good safety of ACGs-NPs. ACGs-NPs show promise as a new type of and potent anti-choriocarcinoma drug in the future.
