Abstract: Objective To prepare 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldana-mycin poly-butylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles(17-AAG-PBCA-NPs) and study the anticancer activity of 17-AAG poly-butylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles. Methods 17-AAG was encapsulated in PBCA-NPs by interfacial polymerization method. Using single factor analysis combined with orthogonal design to compare the effect factors on 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs, optimizing the preparation method of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs. Nanoparticle size analyzer, TEM and SEM were used to identify and analyze the characteristics of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs. The dynamic dialysis method was used to determine the in vitro release of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs. Results Optimal dosage of drug mass ratio was 1∶10. The conditions of the reaction system were: pH 2, 1 200 r/min, F-68, 3% Dextran70. The time of polymerization was 3 hours. The optimal encapsulation efficiency was more than 90%. The morphology of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs was spherical shape with (180.5±12.0) nm in diameter and the Zeta potential ranged from -20 to -30 mV. The release of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs in vitro was determined by dynamic dialysis method and it has been shown that the release of drug from the PBCA-NPs exhibited a rapid burst release followed by a sustained release. 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs showed good stability in plasma. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay of the 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs and 17-AAG using HepG2, A375, HeLa, MCF-7 and SHSY5Y cell line showed that the 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs and 17-AAG inhibited the growth of HepG2, A375, HeLa, MCF-7 and SHSY5Y cells, showing a time-dependent manner, respectively. Furthermore, in vivo anti-tumor activity of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs was evaluated in sarcoma bearing mice following intraperitoneal injection. Compared with 17-AAG, 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs achieved superior sustained-release effect, and extended the dosing interval further, increased tolerated dose, reduced the side effect of the drug, and improved the compliance to medication, safety and medication. Conclusion 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs were prepared by using interfacial polymerization method. Further optimization of the preparation method is both beneficial to the characteristic and sustained release effect of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs.
