Department of Neuro-Oncology, Cancer Center, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Published: June 2023

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive primary tumor in the central nervous system. There is no standard of care for patients with recurrent GBM. Honokiol is a pleiotropic lignan and has the potential to be a potent and safe anticancer agent in human GBM when it is encapsulated by liposomes. We report an efficient and safe response to three phases of treatment with liposomal honokiol in a patient with recurrent glioblastoma.

The objective of this study is to develop hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles for targeted delivery of honokiol to tumor sites after glioma surgical management. Honokiol is released from the HAp-honokiol particles inside cancer cells through endocytosis and subsequent acid lysosomal dissolution. HAp is synthesized using a co-precipitation method, and egg white is added to create porous structures.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is an extremely invasive and heterogenous malignant brain tumor. Despite advances in current anticancer therapy, treatment options for glioblastoma remain limited, and tumor recurrence is inevitable. Therefore, alternative therapies or new active compounds that can be used as adjuvant therapy are needed.
