Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein is a hydrophobic anti-cancer drug encapsulated into poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles and their use in cancer treatments by intracavitary rout of administration such as intraperitoneal administration.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for treatment of cancer in a subject, the method comprising intraperitoneally administering to the subject a poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticle, the nanoparticle encapsulating a hydrophobic anti-cancer drug, and wherein the nanoparticle is administered to the subject to treat the cancer in the subject, wherein the poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) comprises a cyanoacrylate having a 2-ethyl butyl (EBCA) alkyl chain, wherein the nanoparticle does not include a targeting moiety, and wherein the cancer is a primary peritoneal cancer or peritoneal carcinomatosis. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises inhibiting metastasis in the subject. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nanoparticle is produced according to a miniemulsion anionic polymerization process. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the nanoparticle has dimensions below 800 nm. 5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the nanoparticle has dimensions from 30 nm to 500 nm. 6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the nanoparticle is PEGylated. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic anti-cancer drug comprises 1-90 wt % of the total weight of the nanoparticle. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic anti-cancer drug is a taxane. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the taxane is cabazitaxel. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is pseudomyxoma peritonei or peritoneal carcinomatosis originating from ovarian cancer, colorectal carcinoma, gastric cancer, renal cancer, rectal carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, gallbladder carcinoma, appendiceal malignancies, endometrial carcinoma, cervical cancers, breast cancer, lung cancer, malignant melanoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, or transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract. 11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the subject is a human subject.
