Abstract:
In this work, novel erythrocyte-shaped electrosprayed nanoparticles (EENPs) were designed and constructed by tri-axial electrospraying technique with PEG as the outer layer, PLGA as the middle drugs (paclitaxel [PTX] and osimertinib [OSI]) carrier layer and air as the inner layer. The prepared EENP were characterized and evaluated based on their spectral and morphological attributes. After the PTX/OSI ratio and process optimization, the EENP has inspiring features, including nanoscale size, erythrocyte morphology with a concave disk shape, and satisfactory drug loading (DL) and encapsulation efficiency (EE). In vitro drug release showed that PTX and OSI in the formulation were released in the same ratio, and the cumulative release percentage at 24 h was close to 80 %. Furthermore, the TGIR in the EENP formulation group exceeded 90 %, approximately 3.8-fold higher than that in the free drug group. In summary, we developed an erythrocyte three-core-shell nanoparticle for the co-delivery of PTX and OSI, providing a potential chemotherapeutic delivery system for the treatment of breast cancer.
