The blood clearance, tissue uptake and antitumor efficacy against liver metastasis of M5076 reticulosarcoma in mice and against primary liver cancer in rats of doxorubicin (DOX) encapsulated in two types of liposomes, with and without a soYbean-derived sterylglucoside mixture (SG), were examined. Liposomes entrapping DOX were composed of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), SG and cholesterol (Ch) at a molar ratio of 6:1:3, (SG-liposomes) and 6:0:4 (non-SG-liposomes). Pharmacokinetic analysis of drug disposition was based on the area under the curve (AUC) for liposomes up to 24 h following i.v. injection. SG-liposomes showed lower DOX concentrations in blood and higher concentrations in liver compared with non-SG-liposomes. The highest AUC of SG-liposomes in tissue was in liver, 2.4 times higher than that of the free drug. The antitumor efficacy of SG-liposomes was compared with that of free DOX and non-SG-liposomes at a dose of 5 mg DOX/kg. SG-liposomes displayed stronger antitumor activity than the free drug and non-SG-liposomes in murine reticulosarcoma M5076 tumor models and primary liver cancer models reflecting accumulation in hepatocytes. The antitumor activity of SG-liposomes in rats with primary liver cancer was significantly higher compared with free DOX and non-SG-liposomes (ILS: 92.7%).

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D004337 Drug Carriers Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres, soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers. Drug Carrier
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
