Abstract

Liposomes, such as pegylated-liposomal CKD-602 (S-CKD602), undergo catabolism by macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) of the reticuloendothelial system (RES). The relationship between plasma and tumor disposition of S-CKD602 and RES was evaluated in mice bearing A375 melanoma or SKOV-3 ovarian xenografts. Area under the concentration-time curves (AUCs) of liposomal encapsulated, released, and sum total (encapsulated + released) CKD-602 in plasma, tumor, and tumor extracellular fluid (ECF) were estimated. A375 and SKOV-3 tumors were stained with cd11b and cd11c antibodies as measures of macrophages and DC. The plasma disposition of S-CKD602 was similar in both xenograft models. The ratio of tumor sum total AUC to plasma sum total AUC was 1.7-fold higher in mice bearing human SKOV-3 xenografts, compared with A375. The ratio of tumor ECF AUC to tumor sum total AUC was 2-fold higher in mice bearing human SKOV-3 xenografts, compared with A375. The staining of cd11c was 4.5-fold higher in SKOV-3, compared with A375 (P < 0.0001). The increased tumor delivery and release of CKD-602 from S-CKD602 in the ovarian xenografts, compared with the melanoma xenografts, was consistent with increased cd11c staining, suggesting that variability in the RES may affect the tumor disposition of liposomal agents.
