Purpose: Simple methods for the large-scale manufacture of ligand-targeted liposomes will be needed if clinical trials are to proceed. We tested a recently developed technology for inserting peptide ligands into preformed Stealth liposomes. Antagonist G-targeted liposomes (PLG) were prepared and loaded with doxorubicin and their cellular association and cytotoxicity were evaluated using the human small cell lun...
Tumor accumulation and therapeutic activity of Stealth liposomes loaded with doxorubicin (DXR) were examined in Balb/c nude mice xenografts inoculated subcutaneously with the human small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line, H69. Mice were treated with non-targeted liposomes (SL) or liposomes targeted with antagonist G coupled to the liposome surface (SLG). SLG showed 30-44-fold higher binding to H69 cells harvest...
The ability of a growth factor antagonist, [-Arg6,-Trp7,9-NmePhe8]-substance P(6-11), named antagonist G, to selectively target polyethylene glycol-grafted liposomes (known as sterically stabilized liposomes) to a human classical small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line, H69, was examined. Our results showed that radiolabeled antagonist G-targeted sterically stabilized liposomes (SLG) bound to H69 cells with hig...
