'Pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and anti-angiogenesis efficacy of diamino propane tetraiodothyroacetic acid-conjugated biodegradable polymeric nanoparticle''. Scientific Reports, 9.2045-2322https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-44979-6https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-44979-6http://hdl.handle.net/11452/31721The anti-angiogenic agent, diamino propane tetraiodothyroacetic acid (DAT), is a thyro-integrin (integrin alpha v beta 3) antagonist anticancer agent that works via genetic and nongenetic actions. Tetraiodothyroacetic acid (tetrac) and DAT as thyroid hormone derivatives influence gene expression after they transport across cellular membranes. To restrict the action of DAT to the integrin alpha v beta 3 receptors on the cell surface, we used DAT-conjugated PLGA nanoparticles (NDAT) in an active targeting mode to bind to these receptors. Preparation and characterization of NDAT is described, and both in vitro and in vivo experiments were done to compare DAT to NDAT. Intracellular uptake and distribution of DAT and NDAT in U87 glioblastoma cells were evaluated using confocal microscopy and showed that DAT reached the nucleus, but NDAT was restricted from the nucleus. Pharmacokinetic studies using LC-MS/MS analysis in male C57BL/6 mice showed that administration of NDAT improved the area under the drug concentration curve AUC(()(0-)(48 h)) by 4-fold at a dose of 3 mg/kg when compared with DAT, and C-max of NDAT (4363 ng/mL) was 8-fold greater than that of DAT (548 ng/ mL). Biodistribution studies in the mice showed that the concentrations of NDAT were higher than DAT/Cremophor EL micelles in heart, lung, liver, spleen, and kidney. In another mouse model using female NCr nude homozygous mice with U87 xenografts, tumor growth was significantly decreased at doses of 1 and 3 mg/kg of NDAT. In the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay used to measure angiogenesis, DAT (500 ng/CAM) resulted in 48% inhibition of angiogenesis levels. In comparison, NDAT at low dose (50 ng/CAM) showed 45% inhibition of angiogenesis levels. Our investigation of NDAT bridges the study of polymeric nanoparticles and anti-angiogenic agents and offers new insight for the rational design of anti-angiogenic agents.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessScience & technology - other topicsDependent cellular uptakeTargeted deliveryThyroid-hormoneClinical translationCancer-therapyCremophor elIn-vitroDrungPaclitaxelTetracAnimalsBiocompatible materialsCell Line, tumorChickensChorioallantoic membraneFemaleGlioblastomaHumansMaleMice, inbred C57BLMice, nudeNanoparticlesNeovascularization, pathologicPolymersPropaneThyroxineTissue distributionXenograft model antitumor assaysPharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and anti-angiogenesis efficacy of diamino propane tetraiodothyroacetic acid-conjugated biodegradable polymeric nanoparticle (Retracted Article)Article0004724773000052-s2.0-85067797360931227723Multidisciplinary sciencesIntegrin; Thyroid Hormones; Nano-Diamino-TetracBiomaterialNanoparticlePolymerPropaneTetraiodothyroacetic acidThyroxineAnimalC57BL mouseChemistryChickenChorioallantoisDrug effectDrug screeningFemaleGlioblastomaHumanMaleMetabolismNeovascularization (pathology)Nude mouseProceduresTissue distributionTumor cell lineVascularization
