Mucoadhesive Thiolated Hyaluronic Acid/Pluronic F127 Nanogel Formation via Thiol-Maleimide Click Reaction for Intravesical Drug Delivery.
ACS Applied Bio Materials 2024 March 7
The development of nanocarriers to prolong the residence time and enhance the permeability of chemotherapeutic drugs on bladder mucosa is important in the postsurgery treatment of superficial bladder cancers (BCs). Here, the mucoadhesive HA-SH/PF127 nanogels composed of a temperature-sensitive Pluronic F127 (PF127) core and thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA-SH) shell were prepared by the emulsification/solvent evaporation method. The nanogels were constructed through the thiol-maleimide click reaction in the HA-SH aqueous side of the oil-water interface and self-oxidized cross-linking thiols between HA-SH. The HA-SH/PF127 nanogels prepared at different thiol-to-maleimide group molar ratios, water-to-oil volume ratios, and cross-linking reaction times were characterized regarding hydrodynamic diameter ( D h ) and zeta potential (ζ), and the optimal formulation was obtained. The excellent mucoadhesive properties of the HA-SH/PF127 nanogels were evaluated by using the mucin particle method. Doxorubicin (DOX) was encapsulated in the PF127 core of DOX@HA-SH/PF127 nanogels with a high loading efficiency (87.5%) and sustained release from the nanogels in artificial urine. Ex vivo studies on porcine bladder mucosa showed that the DOX@HA-SH/PF127 nanogels enhanced the penetration of the DOX into the bladder mucosa without disrupting the mucus structure or the bladder tissue. A significant dose-dependent cytotoxic effect of DOX@HA-SH/PF127 nanogels on both T24 and MB49 cells was observed. The present study demonstrates that the mucoadhesive HA-SH/PF127 nanogels are a promising intravesical drug delivery system for superficial BC therapy.
