Abstract:
The new bifunctional cluster glucosides were designed and synthesized as liposome ligands for preparing novel liposome to achieve the effective delivery of drug formulations to brain by GLUT1. Docetaxel-loaded five liposomes were prepared successfully and tested in the animals. Results from the in vivo distribution study after i.v. administration of these five liposomes and blank-docetaxel indicated that the coupled liposomes Lip-1, Lip-2, Lip-3, Lip-5 exhibited excellent transport ability across the BBB. In particular, they significantly increased the level of docetaxel in brain compared to blank-docetaxel and Lip. Among them, Lip-5 showed higher brain concentration. Both pharmacokinetics and distribution study in mice confirmed that this novel brain targeting drug delivery system was a promising carrier to enhance brain delivery capacity for CNS drugs.
